    As far as the Westernization Movement is concerned, Zeng Guofan is an active advocate and even known as the leader of the Westernization Movement, as well as an enthusiastic practitioner.

    After conquering Anqing, Zeng Guofan opened the Anqingnei Ordnance Institute, which was the first military factory in the true sense of the word.

    In June of that year, Li Hongzhang, then governor of Jiangsu, bought an iron factory owned by an American merchant in Hongkou, Shanghai, and renamed it the "Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau".

    In fact, in 1863, Zeng Guofan had this intention, he fully supported Li Hongzhang, and under the joint painstaking management, the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau was unprecedented, becoming the largest arsenal in China at that time.

    3. What is rare is that Zeng Guofan has a world vision.

    He saw that foreign man-made machines were calculated according to numbers, and everything was according to the standards of the drawings.

    The only way to master this is to rely on translation.

    Therefore, in 1867, he set up a "translation hall" and hired foreigners to preside over the translation work.

    This translation center can be called the translation center with the longest history, the largest number of books and the greatest influence in China.

    In the process of China's modernization, translations have made great contributions.

    It not only laid the foundation for enlightening and cultivating modern Chinese scientific and technological talents and many sciences, but also had a great impact on modern thought.

    As a matter of fact, it is precisely this kind of influence that accumulates over time, accumulating small things into big ones, and gradually giving birth to enlightenment in the ideological circles and reform and revolution in the literary circles.

    That's another story.

    4. From one point of view, the Westernization movement advocated by Zeng Guofan as a modernization movement should "master the skills of the people to control the country" and "self-improvement and prosperity", all of which have progressive significance that cannot be underestimated.

    He created many firsts in China's modern history: he opened China's first modern military factory, manufactured China's first steamship, established China's first large-scale multi-functional modern industrial base, established China's first translation hall, and sent China's first batch of students to study abroad.

    5. But on the other hand, Zeng Guofan's so-called "way of self-improvement" is nothing more than to find a political way out for the Qing Dynasty to borrow the Westernization Movement, which has revealed the end of the world.

    Against such a special historical background, the Westernization Movement could not have become a good recipe for national salvation, still less could it make the country rich and the people strong.

    In the end, the Sino-Japanese War ended with the annihilation of the Beiyang Navy, announcing the failure of the Westernization Movement.

    Neither Zeng Guofan nor Li Hongzhang could recover the fate of the fall of the Qing Dynasty.
