Zeng Guofan, a name, a legend. Hunan Army, a team, a piece of history. Their encounter and cooperation have made a story that has been passed down through the ages. Let's look back at this powerful story and appreciate the ambition and courage involved.
Zeng Guofan, an outstanding statesman and military strategist during the Qianjia period, had outstanding intelligence and morality, and was deeply appreciated by Hong Xiuquan, the leader of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. So, under the leadership of Zeng Guofan, the Hunan army came into being. The Hunan Army was the first large-scale, modern army in modern Chinese history, and Zeng Guofan became the commander-in-chief of the Hunan Army.
In response to the threat posed by the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, Zeng Guofan adopted a series of important military reform measures. He organized a powerful force composed of local armed forces and regimental training, built a naval army, and fought against the Taiping forces and defended the country's tranquility through strategic arrangements such as aiding Jiangxi and moving to Hengyang.
The fighting power and discipline of the Hunan army were highly praised. Zeng Guofan carefully cultivated a large number of outstanding generals, such as Peng Yulin, who fought bravely on the battlefield and won many victories for the Hunan army. The Hunan army's naval divisions became an important part of its strategic deterrence, effectively striking at the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom's waterway supply lines and weakening the enemy's strength.
The rise and development of the Hunan army not only changed the local military landscape, but also had a profound impact on the entire history of China. It broke with old concepts, advocated the building of a modern army, and laid the foundation for later military reforms. The tactics and organizational methods of the Hunan army were widely borrowed and became a model for China's modern army.
