Zeng Guofan's Rectification: When Zeng Guofan established the Xiang Army, it was the moment of survival of the Manchu National Movement crisis, and it was also the moment when the Chinese nation suffered great chaos and disaster. Although Zeng Guofan was a scholar, he taught himself in the war with patriotism. Although he had no experience in building the army, marching and fighting, he took history as a mirror and war as a teacher, and constantly explored from many failures, and gradually formed a set of effective general plans and operational methods for running the army and achieved great success.

Stubborn will: Xiang army has a brave fighting style and strong fighting will, and its will and spirit are much more useful than a few western firearms. "Hard-working, bullying, and unyielding"? The spirit of Huxiang has been vividly displayed in all the wars it participated in.

Xiang Army is the name of Hunan local army in the late Qing Dynasty, or Xiang Yong. ? After the rise of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Movement, the regular army of the Qing Dynasty was unable to resist and had to use local armed forces. It was at this time that the Xiang Army developed.

Besides suppressing the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom? The Xiang army founded by Zeng Guofan also included the Xiang army that lasted until the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression period. It was not until He Jian stepped down that Chiang Kai-shek transformed Xiang into a semi-central army. By 1949, the semi-centralized Xiang army was completely wiped out by the PLA, and the history of Xiang army ended.
