Introduction
The Battle of Anqing was a turning point in the fate of the Qing Dynasty and the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. Before the war, the Qing Dynasty was worried about the destruction of the country. After the war, the Qing Dynasty gradually took the military initiative and finally captured Tianjing and destroyed the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom! This book selects the turning point of the Battle of Anqing and describes the causes and consequences of this war in great detail.
Zeng Guofan was very good at seizing and creating opportunities when the country was in chaos. He was a scholar who founded the Hunan Army and led the heroes. He fought against the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, but was defeated repeatedly. He even committed suicide twice and fell into desperate situations many times. At the age of 47, he was abandoned by the emperor and fell into the trough of his life. He lived in seclusion in his hometown for two years, reflecting on himself and finally gaining enlightenment. After coming out of retirement, he changed his way of dealing with people.
