About This Novel
"Xiang Army" was the name given to the local armed forces in Hunan during the late Qing Dynasty. It was first called "Xiang Yong" and later "Xiang Army". The Hunan Army was founded by Zeng Guofan. It successively established a land division, a naval division, a camp office and a grain station. The main generals were mainly Hunanese. Zeng Guofan was from the same hometown, teachers and students, of the same age, or relatives and friends as them. The Hunan Army attaches great importance to education. Soldiers are recruited by the battalion officers themselves, and sentry commanders and captains are appointed by the battalion officers. Later, sub-commands and commanders were set up above the battalion officers to manage several battalions or dozens of battalions. All levels were subordinated, and the entire army obeyed only one person, Zeng Guofan. When the country is in trouble, just a piece of paper can send the Hunan army thousands of miles to the emergency. They resisted Russia in Xinjiang, Japan in Liaoning, the Eight-Power Allied Forces in Shanxi, and Japan and France in Taiwan and Guangxi. It grew rapidly in the process of fighting against peasant uprisings and foreign invaders from all over the country. There were 29 Hunan Army generals to governors, hundreds of provincial and ministerial officials, and countless seventh-grade holders. "Zhongxing General, Shijiu Huxiang" "Since ancient times, there is no army without Hunan, and the world's Hunan army comes out of Xiangxiang." The Hunan Army has six major factions: Zeng Guofan, Hu Linyi, Zuo Zongtang, Li Hongzhang, Jiang Zhongyuan and Wang Kaiyun.
