In Zeng Guofan's thought of running the army, it is very important to pay attention to unity, that is, to maintain unity within the army and military-civilian relations. He said: "Generally speaking, managing the army is like managing a family. If brothers don't agree, the family will fail. If the general is not in harmony, the army will be defeated. " Formulating the policy of "running the army as one family" requires all commanders and battalion officers to treat each other with "tolerance". On the other hand, in a certain period, he paid attention to the relationship between the army and the people, attached importance to propriety and righteousness, and observed military discipline. He put forward the slogan of "not disturbing the people" as "the foundation of running the army" and personally wrote "love folk songs" for the Xiang army to recite. These principles of running the army with unity as the main factor are limited and deceptive because they want to win the hearts and minds of the people with the Taiping Army.
