The Afterglow of the Dynasty: Huai Army 1862-1900

About This Novel

"The Afterglow of the Dynasty" is a popular book written by Ji Yu about the history of the Qing Dynasty in China. This book starts from the political turmoil in the late Qing Dynasty around 1860 and ends around the Gengzi Revolution in 1900. It describes the creation and development of the Huai Army by Li Hongzhang, an important official in the late Qing Dynasty, and the history of the Huai Army's prosperity, evolution and final destruction. With a grand perspective and delicate writing style, the author restores the many wars in the late Qing Dynasty in which the Huai army participated, and shows the historical process of the rapid decline of the Qing Dynasty and the competition between various classes and forces in this period against the background of internal and external difficulties. Pushing aside the dust and fog, and re-observing the Huai Army, which was once the last military pillar of the Qing Dynasty, we can see that what the author has written is not only the rise and fall of China's first modern army, but also a period of history that cannot be ignored in the difficult exploration and dramatic transformation of modern China.
