Zeng Guofan met Cixi for the first time and then wrote him down in his diary. What did he say?

Zeng Guofan is one of the unavoidable figures in China's modern history. The Xiang Army he founded was the first truly modern army in the history of China, and its military thoughts even influenced the whole Republic of China. Zeng Guofan was one of the rare saints in ancient China, with outstanding achievements in his life. Although his life is also controversial, he still has a certain reason to look at people, especially when he first met Cixi, and even directly affirmed Cixi's life.

1864, Zeng Guofan, who had been wandering for half his life, finally broke through Tianjing, the capital of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, under the leadership of the Xiang army. However, his younger brother, Ceng Guoquan, allowed his subordinates to burn, kill and rob, killing and raping countless innocent people, which led to the destruction of the only prosperous city in Jiangnan at that time. It was also in this year that he was awarded the first-class marquis for meritorious service, withdrawing troops and abolishing the Xiang army.

Since then, Zeng Guofan once again took command and pursued Nie Jun in the Central Plains and other regions. He has also made great achievements. The power of this Han minister is getting bigger and bigger, and the central government relies on him and is afraid. At that time, the Tongzhi emperor was still young, and most of the power in the DPRK was in the hands of the Empress Dowager and Prince Gong Yixin. It became a historical necessity for Zeng Guofan to meet these ministers in the DPRK.

1868 12 Zeng Guofan, who was named a university student by Tijen Pavilion, went to Beijing after many years' absence to meet the Empress Dowager and the powerful officials in the DPRK. However, the result of this meeting made him feel complicated. Although he was not worried about the future of the Qing Dynasty, Zeng Guofan showed deep contempt and contempt for these people.

When Zeng Guofan met with Empress Dowager Cixi and Ci 'an, he asked Zeng Guofan some very easy-to-understand questions, and even made a pretentious knock. Zeng Guofan turned around and wrote a sentence in his diary:? The two palaces are just so-so, there is nothing to say when we meet. ? The two queens learned so much that they didn't say anything important when they met. As for the others he met, he was even more disappointed. He said: Is there another maverick in North Korea who is still tweeting Wen Gengfeng? Nothing else.

Vogenfeng was the teacher of Emperor Tongzhi, and the Mongols were Japanese. Don't blame everyone for not knowing this person. This man was actually the teacher of the Tongzhi emperor, and he was an extremely stubborn man, which greatly restricted the thought of the Tongzhi emperor and led to a more closed Qing government.

Ordinary Cixi, as he thought, succeeded in the political struggle, but it was a disaster for the country. She learned that ordinary Cixi monopolized power, which led to the Qing Dynasty becoming a? People who commit crimes against me will be compensated even if they are far away? Or? If you make a mistake, will you lose or win? Embarrassed dynasty.
