Zeng Guofan: the Officialdom Has Gone Astray and Made Great Achievements

During the Xianfeng period, there was fierce strife in the officialdom. Zeng Guofan was in trouble after Mu Zhang'a lost power due to his close relationship with Mu Zhang'a. Faced with Sushun's solicitation, he stood firm and refused. As a result, he was framed by Sushun and fell into a career crisis. Coinciding with the Taiping Rebellion, Zeng Guofan seized the opportunity and wrote a strategy to quell the rebellion, and was appointed by Emperor Xianfeng to form the Hunan Army. In the process of training the Hunan Army, difficulties such as shortage of funds and local difficulties came one after another, but he did not flinch. With firm belief and outstanding talents, the Hunan Army experienced battles under his leadership and gradually grew into the pillar of the Qing Dynasty. Zeng Guofan also used this to carve out a unique and glorious path in the complex officialdom. This novel and its characters are purely fictitious.
