About This Novel
"Xiang Army" is the name given to the local armed forces in Hunan during the late Qing Dynasty. It was first called "Xiang Yong" and later called "Xiang Army". It was an armed force that commanded both domestic and foreign forces in modern Chinese history. This book is a comprehensive and in-depth general history of the Hunan Army. In the late Qing Dynasty, the peasant movement led by the Taiping Rebellion was raging, and the court was unable to maintain stability. Under the urgent situation, Emperor Xianfeng made an exception and promoted civil servants and generals from the grassroots. As a result, a generation of Hunan scholars emerged from the countryside. Zuo Zongtang, Jiang Zhongyuan, Liu Changyou, Luo Zenan and others joined the battle to defend the imperial court. Zeng Guofan, Zuo Zongtang, Luo Bingzhang, Guo Songtao and other civil and military officials of the previous dynasty would also withstand the baptism of war. This book uses documentary techniques and starts from historical facts to describe the legendary life of the Hunan Army generals who were victorious in every battle. It panoramically reproduces the magnificent history of the Hunan Army's golden war and iron horses. It also shows a major change that profoundly affected the direction of China's modern times.
