Editing history: the opening inventory of the top ten emperors

So Zuo Zongtang actually spent the first half of his life.

It is very similar to many people before it.

Until the age of 40.

Although his reputation in the local area is quite good.

But things like entering the court and becoming an official have little to do with him.

Perhaps at the time, Zuo Zongtang actually didn't think much about becoming an official in the court.

Some people's horizons can always be seen wider.

Of course, there are many reasons for this, perhaps Zuo Zongtang's own views on the current situation, or the Qing Dynasty at that time, it can be said that it is almost the same.

Rotten to the bone.

He is a man with a world in his heart.

But now it looks like who will own this world.

It's hard to tell.

The period from 28 to 30 years old may be a difficult time for Zuo Zongtang.

As a person who can clearly see the situation of the whole world.

During the Opium War, the defeat of the Qing Dynasty made him feel extremely sighed.

Perhaps at this time, he has realized that the dynasty that has ruled the land for many years may be about to come to an end.

In the days that followed, someone recommended him, but he didn't go.

The conversation with Lin Zexu seemed to be nothing more than a conversation.

Lin Zexu does not need any elaboration at this moment.

Because he is so famous.

Zuo Zongtang himself should be able to see clearly the situation of the whole world.

Although the movement of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was vigorous, everything proposed was too unrealistic.

And no matter what, the means of those rebels are for those who are still living in the stable zone.

Both are a huge threat.

40 is old.

The flames of war in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom still reached Changsha.

The provincial capital was besieged, and the governor of Hunan had no choice but to hire Zuo Zongtang to go out of the mountain to resist the attack of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.

Zuo Zongtang should have hesitated a little at this time.

But after hesitating, I found that I seemed to be able to make the best choice.

It seems to be, join the Qing army, and then defend the country of the Qing Dynasty.

So the bottom line is still a problem, that is, it is worse than bad.

Obviously, at least in the competition, even the Qing Dynasty has almost reached the point of no cure.

But compared to the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, it is somewhat better.

He took office in the days of heavy artillery fire, and began to be responsible for the security work of Changsha.

He did so well that the people of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom had been besieged for three full months and still couldn't do a good job.

They had no choice but to withdraw their troops, and Zuo Zongtang's life path had just officially begun at this time.

Huguang Governor's Mansion, as an aide, Zuo Zongtang traveled a lot in the following days and saw the current situation.

hidden hazards.

The Qing government cannot fail.

This is the most fundamental thing.

Because of the danger, it is too dangerous. Even in the past 5000 years, the Chinese nation has never encountered such a dangerous situation.

Once the Qing government falls, the encroachment of various overseas warlords on this piece of land will surely follow.

The concession was a last resort.

But if it really collapses, it will be true, and every place will really become a concession.

They will be brutally dismembered, and the country will be destroyed.

Huguang is not only an important place for grain production, but also a stable central region. The stability here can largely support this sunset-like dynasty.

able to keep him alive.

So during these six years, I watched the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom's army galloping in Hubei, and looked at the peasants in Huguang who had to rebel because of poverty and hunger.

Started his journey of relief.

He did a pretty good job. On the one hand, he gradually stabilized the situation at that time, and made the peasant uprising gradually disappear. On the other hand, Zuo Zongtang was also constantly preparing for the army.

to face more severe situations.

Huguang, which was on fire everywhere, was also completely stabilized by Zuo Zongtang.

After all, it was not completely involved in the flames of war and chaos, which really couldn't be a better thing.

In six years, Zuo Zongtang also entered the court from another curve.

Because Huguang is not bad, after subsidizing Zeng Guofan's military salary, Zuo Zongtang was able to have the hat of a fourth-rank official.

Although there were also some fatal disasters due to the jealousy of the villain, but it can be regarded as a near-miss.

Six years later, the power of the Taiping Army has not been reduced much, but has become stronger, and even conquered the famous Jiangnan Camp.

The intention is to bring the whole of Jiangnan into his hands.

At this time, Zuo Zongtang was also ordered to lead more than [-] people to fight against the Taiping Army.

The Warring States period was not bad, and the army led by Zuo Zongtang was a new type of army.

Since the army began to gradually change, in fact, the number of people is no longer a decisive existence.

The appearance of muskets really changed a lot of things.

Zuo Zongtang, who led the Chinese-British and Chinese-French mixed armies, reconquered the cities of Shaoxing, Jinhua and other places.Eventually promoted to governor of Fujian and Zhejiang.

After that, they invaded Hangzhou and transferred to Jiangxi. The forces of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, under Zuo Zongtang's men, were a little out of breath for a while.

So that in the end the flames of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom were extinguished by Zuo Zongtang himself.

A major issue has finally been resolved.

There are really not many peasant movements that are worthy of special mention in history.

Perhaps this can also be seen from the side. In fact, the strength of this movement is really quite good.

But the days to come will continue.

The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom is dead, but the enemy is not.

The only way to strengthen yourself is to strengthen your military training.

At this time, Zuo Zongtang began to shift his attention to the navy one after another.

Opened the first modern shipyard.

A wave of unrest, a wave of up again.

Zuo Zongtang is like a person who can never be idle. This dilapidated dynasty really needs the efforts of others to make up for it.

The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom here has just been suppressed.

The Muslim uprising in the north has entered a situation that is almost in full swing.

The uprising of the Nian army and the Hui people was ignored at the beginning.

But until then, the Nian army entered Jin from Shaanxi, then attacked Henan, and today entered Zhili.

The entire capital was also shaken by it.

Zhili is definitely a very important place, because this is the territory directly under the jurisdiction of the capital, so it is called Zhili.

Now the riots of the Muslims have actually spread to Zhili, and they have already run under their noses.

It can be seen from this that the situation at that time has reached a, what a state.

All the civil and military officials in the court looked at Zuo Zongtang, and Zuo Zongtang was alone after all, so he said helplessly.

"Five years."

"It will take at least five years."
