Yang Changzhuo was born in a poor family. He has been smart since he was a child, with a big figure and great arm strength. Perhaps Zuo took a fancy to these things, so he was included in the army and eventually became his confidant.
Once captured more than 65,438+10,000 Taiping troops. Because he was born as a farmer, he understood their feelings very well, so he was very sympathetic. He beheaded the first few people and sent the rest home, letting them go their separate ways. But because of this, some officials didn't like it and reported it to the court anonymously, accusing him of "letting the tiger go back to the mountain." However, under the protection of Zuo, Cixi did not punish him, which shows that Zuo is still very good to Yang Changzhuo.
However, he made a serious mistake in dealing with one thing, that is, the problem of Yang Naiwu and Chinese cabbage. Because I trusted junior officials too much, defended my own officials, and finally misjudged them, I played adultery to save my life. In the end, the court found out the truth and the case was a fictional fact. Then the court ordered Yang Changzhuo to be punished, and Yang Changzhuo was dismissed as the governor of Zhejiang.
When he reacted, he regretted it very much, so he fully assisted Zuo in the process of the Western Expedition and made great contributions to the recovery of Xinjiang. This is also his sin of making up for his previous misjudgment.
