About This Novel

Zeng Guofan seems to be slow in doing things, but he is actually the fastest. Because this is a solid death kung fu that leaves no hidden dangers. Over time, no one can surpass it. Zeng Guofan used to be stupid when he was studying since he was a child. He would never read the next sentence without understanding the previous sentence. He read an article dozens of times before he could barely recite it. Even the thief hiding under the bed couldn't help but get out and recite it for him. After becoming an imperial scholar, in order to meet his superiors, On the other hand, the military minister Mu Zhang'a wrote poems and essays every day and submitted them, but was rejected 13 times in a row. In the end, he was moved by Mu Zhang'a. Zeng Guofan did not do anything opportunistically, and he took this "clumsy" philosophy to the extreme in war. Zeng Guofan never used clever tactics in battles, but believed in "building a stronghold and fighting stupidly". He kept building walls, digging ditches, and preparing artillery every day, and never took the initiative to attack until the Taiping army was panicked and demoralized.

Do things when you are awake, read when you are confused, sleep when you are angry, and think when you are alone; be a happy person, read, travel, work hard, care about your body and mood, and become the best version of yourself.

This book is very good, suitable for ordinary people to read, and very inspirational!

Zeng Guofan has three points worth learning from! The first and most important thing is that he has strong perseverance. The second is to have a conscience. The third is to be able to recognize and employ people! His code of conduct is first determined and then implemented firmly, integrating knowledge and action.

good book

1. Living in the same environment, the dividing line between the strong and the weak is who can change it. 2. Maturity does not mean that a person's heart grows old, but that the heart can still smile even with tears in the eyes. 3. The most terrifying enemy is the lack of strong belief. 4. Only when you have tasted the pain can you cherish the happiness you once ignored; only when you appreciate the ordinary can you collect the happiness you once discarded. 5. Thinking that you can do something or that you can't do it is actually just a matter of thought. 6. Those who have tasted pain and are still happy learn to mature; those who have experienced everything and still remain innocent are precious. 7. Ordinary people only think about how to spend their time, while talented people try to make use of their time. 8. Winners often succeed by hanging on for the last five minutes. The secret of success is simple. No matter what, I will never allow myself to be a little discouraged. 9. The happiness of success lies in affirming yourself again and again, rather than being satisfied with the completion of something for a long time. 10. Be prepared to fail to welcome victory. This is an attitude a person must have when facing gains and losses. If you only prepare for success but not for failure, it will be too late when you fail.

Zeng Guofan fully understood the principle that "the most clumsy in the world can defeat the most skillful in the world": he did not take shortcuts, was thorough, worked step by step, and continued unswervingly, eventually surpassing all the smart people of his generation.

An era cannot simply be evaluated as good or bad. For example, during the Tongzhi period, Cixi used great figures such as Zeng Guofan, Li Hongzhang, and Zhang Zhidong. This may not be a vibrant era; a figure cannot be simply labeled. For example, Zeng Guofan, a traitor? Ever shaved your head? If it is you, you may not do better than him. You have a tough character and perseverance. Although you have limitations, you have made the contribution you can to the country and the people. Such a historical figure deserves our careful evaluation and study.

Diligence can make up for weakness, best embodied by Zeng Guofan

I have to thank the author for his writing style for being able to write about a generation of heroes in simple language. From this book, you can deeply understand how Zeng Guofan, a man with no talent, rose to the pinnacle of power step by step. Diligence can make up for weakness is the best explanation for him

fascinating book

I enjoyed reading this book so much that I actually worked overtime and finished it in less than two days. Mr. Zeng is an example of hard work and hard work. His life also proves a saying: if you have lofty ambitions, then combine knowledge and action, persevere and be tenacious, you will meet a few noble people in the process, and even if you are not a general, you can be far better than ordinary people. Master Zeng's life was full of ups and downs, with several twists and turns and magnificent transformations. Deeply influenced by Confucianism, he can be regarded as an example. There are two sides to the matter. The Hunan Army was abolished to help Zeng Zeng's position be secure, but in the end there were no troops available. Finally, he told Li Hongzhang not to follow in his footsteps. The author's writing is humorous and interlocking, introducing Mr. Zeng's civil and military life. Thanks
