2. Why do you call him a strategist? Because he has the practice of unified military action, he fought many battles, big and small, and finally conquered Tianjing, the capital of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. But also good at summing up the experience of leading and managing the army. Some of Zeng Hubing's quotations have been handed down from generation to generation, so he is respected as a strategist.
3. At first, Zeng Guofan was really beaten out of the water by Taiping rebels, suffered many defeats, and even was forced to dive in person, but this is normal, because the Xiang army just started training, and its combat effectiveness is not strong, and it has no combat experience, but the key is to be able to "defeat and fight repeatedly", fight more and more bravely, the team is getting bigger and bigger, and the Vietnam War is getting stronger, and finally win.
4. Compared with Zuo and Li Hongzhang, Zeng Guofan has his own merits. They were the most trusted independent officials in the Qing court and made great contributions to the Qing court. But one thing, Zeng Guofan is the oldest. The most famous, Li Hongzhang was Zeng's student. Zuo stepped onto the historical stage with Zeng Guofan's recommendation and support. It can be said that without Zeng, there would be no. In addition, he was once recognized as a master of Confucianism. Only once, he realized the ideal of self-cultivation and family harmony, and made great contributions. Therefore, the leaders of modern China, whether Chiang Kai-shek or Chiang Kai-shek, have great respect for Zeng.
