Zeng Guofan, who is known as a stupid , why can he succeed?

Walking into major bookstores, if you walk into the study of success, then the first thing you see is Zeng Guofan's autobiography, Zeng Guofan's official learning, but the evaluation of Zeng Guofan in history textbooks is very bad, with a critical nature.

However, the evaluation of Zeng Guofan in historical records is: such a sentence, "Meritorious service, virtue and words are immortal in three steps, and the teacher is a perfect person." ”

It can be seen that the evaluation of this person is very high, but the evaluation in the history books is very poor, why is such a controversial figure successful?Today, I will tell you why Zeng Guofan, who is known as a stupid, succeeded?What kind of person is he?

The first point of Zeng Guofan's success is undeniable.

One: Unremitting efforts:

Zeng Guofan's father had a very hard time taking the exam, he took the Xiucai exam 16 times, and the 17th time he was admitted to Xiucai, so from this point of view, Zeng Guofan's father's talent is not very smart, although Zeng Guofan's place is not as long as his father's exam, but it is also half a catty, there is a very famous story about Zeng Guofan's stupidity.

He picked up the lamp to read and recite poems at night, a thief passed by, the thief squatted under the window, waited for him to come out of the house, listened to Zeng Guofan's endorsement and waited for a long time, but he didn't memorize it, and finally the thief really had no choice, the thief knocked on the door and memorized the book.

Later, with unremitting efforts, he was admitted to the Jinshi. Forty-sixth.

2: Zeng Guofan knows current affairs.

After Zeng Guofan became an official, he was even promoted to the tenth level, and we can't generalize that he relied on hard work because of his talent, and he couldn't simply say that he bought an official, and it was impossible to achieve it by buying it in that era.

There is a little story here, Zeng Guofan's mother died, and he wanted Ding Wei, Ding Wei refers to keeping filial piety, and he must go back to keep filial piety according to the regulations.

For the country's worries, although he will lose the war with others, he knows people well, is good at being in the rear, strategizing, even if he has fought a lot of defeats, there are many people who follow, and formed the Hunan army, which captured the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom in 1864.

Three: Zeng Guofan is not greedy for power.

To this responsible official position is very jealous, with soldiers in hand, the emperor is not optimistic about him, the Qing Emperor is suspicious, sent people to monitor, some soldiers for him to fight grievances, Zeng Guofan saw Li Xiucheng's rebellion, categorically refused.

Therefore, on the whole, Zeng Guofan can have today's high evaluation, and he can see the big from the small with three points.

Whether it is historical merits or cultural circulation, Zeng Guofan can be said to be the best among the Han people, only Li Hongzhang can compare with him, after all, in that era, they were the people of the year!

I think the main reason for the success of Zeng Guofan, who is known as the "stupid", is inseparable from his perseverance, and his smooth work has a lot to do with it.

Because at that time, he relied entirely on the guidance of his master and his own talent to achieve success, which was also his ability.

Because Zeng Guofan's family education is very strict, and he has a very deep knowledge, and his ability is also very strong, it is said that he can succeed.

Zeng Guofan also relied on his own continuous efforts and his own opportunities. Therefore, Zeng Guofan can succeed.
