Why did Zeng Guofan disband the Hunan army?

It was imperative for Zeng Guofan to dismantle the Hunan army, but it was only a matter of cutting more and cutting less. In fact, there were only 1230,000 Hunan troops under the Zeng State domain, and the rest were not under his direct command, and even Bao Chao, who was under his direct command, was far from being a cronies, and there were many estrangements. Zeng Guofan was the backbone of the Hunan army, and was the more than 50,000 people of Zeng Guoquan besieging Jinling, and Peng Yulin's 10,000 thousands of sailors.

Even these two are difficult to preserve. At that time, the Hunan army owed a lot of salaries, which was difficult to maintain, and there was a mutiny before the capture of Jinling, but it was fortunate to be able to hold out until after the capture of Jinling. Before the conquest of Jinling, the Hunan army was already in the twilight, after the conquest of Jinling, the success of fame, fame and fortune, it is even more difficult to expect to maintain combat effectiveness, and the soldiers also hope to be dismissed.

The dismantling of the Hunan army can alleviate the imperial court's suspicions about it, which is secondary. At the same time, Li Hongzhang's Huai army is in the ascendant, which can replace the Hunan army of Zeng to deal with unresolved wars such as the twisted army, Zeng and Li have a close relationship, Li Hongzhang's Huai army is here, and the Hunan army of other factions has not been dismantled, and the honor and disgrace of Zeng Guofan also have an extra layer of protection. In addition, the Hunan Army Naval Division became a Yangtze River Naval Division with a fixed establishment through Zeng Guofan's arrangement, which can be regarded as a reservation.

In view of the above points, Zeng Guofan's reduction of the Hunan army was relatively safe, but it was a bit too much.

There are several reasons why Zeng Guofan wants to solve the Hunan army, one is because he wants to show weakness to the Qing Dynasty, and the other reason is because the Hunan army is no longer the same as before, it has been corrupted, it is very difficult to manage, and it is also a trouble to lose the military salary, so it was disbanded.

Because Zeng Guofan himself was not very ambitious, and secondly, in order to protect Mingzhe, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom had been wiped out at that time, and if the Hunan army was retained, it would be suspected by the Qing **.

The country is very short of money, can not afford to support the army, in order to let the peasants work better, return to the family, this Tan Qiao branch of the army is very difficult to control, because of the ideology at the time, very loyal to the monarch to let the first country, he wants to protect these people, do not want them to be killed.

Because Zeng Guofan was short of money, the funds at that time were as high as 7 million taels of Songkai**, and the Hunan army was getting bigger and bigger, and it was very difficult to control, and Confucianism's loyalty to the monarch and patriotism was very profound to the shadow of Zeng Guofan.

The Hunan Army created by Zeng Guofan was wiped out by the People's Liberation Army in the second half of 1949. Its impact on the current situation in modern China is twofold, on the one hand, a positive impact and a negative impact.

At that time, in the face of the attack of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, the Qing Dynasty army could not resist the attack of these Taiping troops, so Zeng Guofan organized the establishment of the Hunan army. It can be said that the strength of the Hunan army at that time was very strong, far more powerful than the regular army of the imperial court. Therefore, it was only later that the Hunan army of Zeng Guofan was able to successfully suppress the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.

The positive impact of the Hunan army created by Zeng Guofan on the current situation of modern Chinese society was mainly that these Hunan troops helped the Qing court resist foreign invasion at that time. The Hunan army can be said to be also part of the Qing Dynasty, and he also made a very great contribution in the face of invasion from outsiders at that time. And the Westernization Movement can be said to have been initiated by the leader of the Hunan army.

It can be said that the Hunan army indirectly promoted the development of modern Chinese history. At that time, the leader of the Hunan army, Zeng Guofan, was also valued by the rulers of the Qing Dynasty.

The negative impact of the Hunan army on the current situation in modern Chinese society was mainly that it intensified the social contradictions at that time. In all the wars in which the Hunan army participated, because these troops were not properly trained, they were relatively barbaric, and at that time they were ordinary people's lives at the same time, and the implementation of violent combat plans also intensified the social contradictions at that time. And the Hunan army belongs to that kind of private army.

At that time, in the late Qing Dynasty, Yuan Shikai also followed the practice of the Hunan army and created his own private army. And it was because Yuan Shikai cultivated his own power that he successfully stole the fruits of the Xinhai Revolution at that time.

After the capture of Tianjing in 1864, the Hunan army was disbanded one after another. The dissolution of the Hunan army had a huge impact on the current situation at that time and later generations, and it can be said that it directly planted the root cause of the fall of the Qing Dynasty. The upper-level generals of the Hunan army have made great contributions, and there are many officials who have been appointed to supervise and appease, and they are very incompatible with **, resulting in excessive power of the superintendent and weakening the centralization of power, so after the Xinhai Revolution, the governors of various places have become independent.

The lower-level soldiers of the Hunan army are also highly meritorious but have no official seals, and there are many people who go home with one or two tops, so the lower levels are resentful, and organizations such as the Elders' Association have grown unprecedentedly, and various movements have followed, and the success of the Wuchang uprising of the Xinhai Revolution has also contributed a lot to the Sichuan Road Protection Movement.

The end of the Hunan army was after the capture of Tianjing, and the Hunan army lost the person who led them, so it collapsed. After the end of the Hunan army, the situation changed very much, and it can be said that it directly led to the fall of the Qing Dynasty.

The Hunan army was the main force that exterminated the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and the Twist Army, saving the Qing Empire from the brink of death.

The Chinese have avoided the fate of theocracy.

The Huai army ended roughly after the destruction of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and in fact the Hunan army and the Beiyang warlords were to some extent a continuation of the Huai army.

After the capture of Tianjing in 1864, with the fall of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, the Hunan army was disbanded one after another. The dissolution of the Hunan army had a huge impact on the current situation and later generations, it can be said that the Hunan army is a very important and very effective army, and it has made great contributions to the suppression of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. So it eventually led to dissolution, but this incident also led to the chaotic situation of the Beiyang warlords later.

History records that the Hunan army was disbanded long ago, and it had no impact on modern Chinese history.

The Hunan army created by Zeng Guofan finally came to an end, which had a profound impact on the current situation in modern China. First, the country is heading for extinction, and second, the founding of New China has gone further.
