How did Shi Dakai defeat Zeng Guofan, a Taiping general who was 20 years younger than the commander-in-chief of the Qing army?

Zeng Guofan vs Shi Dakai 0 1 Zeng Guofan was born in181year, formerly known as Zicheng, No. Ceng Zi's seventieth grandson. China was a famous politician, philosopher and writer in modern times, the founder and commander-in-chief of Xiang Army. Zeng Guofan was born in an ordinary farming and reading family, and he was diligent and studious since childhood. In the eighteenth year of Daoguang, he entered imperial academy. He is a favorite pupil of Zhang Mu, the Minister of Military Affairs, and reluctantly transferred to a bachelor's degree in cabinet, assistant minister of rites and assistant minister of official department. During the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Movement, Zeng Guofan founded the Xiang Army to turn the tide and defeated the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom ten years later. He is self-disciplined, seeking officials by virtue, putting courtesy first and seeking politics by loyalty. It achieved great success in the officialdom of the Qing Dynasty. The rise of Zeng Guofan had a far-reaching impact on the politics, military affairs, culture and economy of the Qing Dynasty. At Zeng Guofan's initiative, he built the first ship in China, founded the first ordnance school, printed and translated the first batch of western language books, and arranged the first batch of students studying in the United States. It can be said that Zeng Guofan was the pioneer of China's modernization. Zeng Guofan and Hu Linyi were called "Zeng Hu", while Li Hongzhang, Zuo and Zhang Zhidong were also called "four famous ministers of ZTE in the late Qing Dynasty". Guan Zhi, Governor of Liangjiang, Governor of Zhili, University student of Wuyingdian, Hou Yong, Zheng Wen, posthumous title, later known as 02 Shi Dakai, Qing Daoguang eleven years (183 1), Shi Dakai was born in your county (now Dakai Village, Qishi Township, Gangbei District, Guigang City), and a relatively rich farmer in Beishanli. Nickname Ada, nickname Shi Gandang. Guangxi Hakka, a famous soldier of Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, is a famous strategist and politician in modern China. Shi Dakai is a legend of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. /kloc-came out of the mountain at the age of 0/6,/kloc-was the commander-in-chief at the age of 0/9, and worshipped the prime minister at the age of 20, and was named "the king's wing of Zuo Jun". 32 years old, died heroically in Chengdu. Shi Dakai has always been famous for his poems. Famous poets and famous poets are all in one, which is unique among the figures of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. It is said that Shi Dakai lived a vigorous life, was sympathetic to the people's livelihood, was handsome and was loved by the people of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. Everyone's evaluation of Shi Dakai: Li Xiucheng: serving the stone king alone, with deep strategy; Chen Yucheng: None of them are generals, reading Feng Yunshan and Shi Dakai is poor; Zeng Guofan: Stone is the most fierce in the thief's canal, which incites people to make a big noise and also takes stone as the most fierce. Left: He has always been the pride of thieves, and his intelligence is better than that of thieves. But judging from what he has done, he is eager to win people's hearts and seek talents, and he is not very attached to cults. He is the patriarch of thieves, and I am afraid of him. Shi Dakai also won the respect of those who were hostile to him. For example, Zhou Xun, a landlord scholar, called Shi Dakai a "strange man" in Shu Hai Talk. The most famous evaluation of Shi Dakai is the American missionary mcgowan: this young leader, as the backbone of the Taiping Army at present, is described in various reports as brave and chivalrous-fearless, upright and beyond reproach, and can be said to be Peiyade (a famous French general and national hero) of the Tian Ping Army. He is gentle and has won the love of the people. Shi Dakai stills show people's respect for Shi Dakai's ability and personality at that time. At present, it is still popular in the world to erect a Taishan stone outside the house wall, which is called "Shi Gan Dang" and is related to Shi Dakai. Zeng Guofan, an important official in the late Qing Dynasty, fought the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and was defeated by Shi Dakai, who was only 29 years old. (1) Shi Dakai defeated Zeng Guofan. More than ten miles upstream of Jiujiang, there is a small town called Zhulindian, which is said to be the former residence of Tao Yuanming, a poet in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Zeng Guofan led Xiang Yong, and the army that attacked Jiujiang platform was stationed here. Zeng Guofan pointed to the map on the wall of the hut on the wide bracket and said that it was a military meeting. Zeng Guofan said: Jiujiang is bordered by a big river in the north, with Laostorang, Baishui Port and Gantang Lake in the northeast, Longkaihe in the west and mountainous in the southeast. Kai Wing Lam occupied Jiujiang for a long time. According to the investigation, Old Storang, Baishui Port, Longkaihe and other places are guarded by long-haired navy, with fortresses inside, and blockhouses built on the southeast hills. Jiujiang city is very well defended. Now here comes Shi Dakai, the master of thieves. It is said that this man can win the hearts of the people, which is unusual for bandits. What do you think of tomorrow's siege? "At this time, zeng guofan's generals including tazib,,, Yang Zaifu, and other generals. Luo Zenan is eager for revenge and willing to be a pioneer. In Luo Zenan's mind, although Starkey is recognized as a lean man in the world, he is only a young man in his twenties. He was born in a remote and poor place. What knowledge can he have? It's just sand rolled up by the wind Luo Zenan is confident that he has 20,000 items of courage in his hand, not to mention a decent crusade against rebels. Pursuing victory, we will be able to rally and win the rebels Shi Dakai and Kay Lin Yingxian. So Zeng Guofan sent troops to attack Taqibu, outflanking-Simon, Li-attacking-Dongmen, Deng Yisheng-attacking-Jiuhuamen Yang Zaifu, Li-blocking the river-Beimen led the troops to attack Dongmen, but they were puzzled. Suddenly, I heard a gunshot and countless dog pennants were erected on the east gate wall. The gate was wide open, and Kai Wing Lam personally led him to kill the tiger. Li, Tong and En beat Kai Wing Lam, just like three British soldiers beat Lu Bu. As a result, Kai Wing Lam cheated, and the child was killed by shelling on the spot, and Dongmen was defeated. At the same time, Simon tazib also met with strong resistance. Soon, the other two naval divisions also failed. Zeng Guofan is in a hurry! Later, Peng Yulin suggested bypassing Jiujiang City and taking Meijiazhou in Hukou and the river opposite Hukou. So, the fighting Shi Dakai also thought of here. He had already laid a tight encirclement, and 6,000 Xiang Yong led by Hu Linyi and Luo Zenan and 2,000 green camp from Hubei surrounded Shi Dakai in the middle of the lake. Shi Dakai is getting earlier and earlier, and Xiang Yong is losing ground. The navy division on the river is also under the careful artillery fire of Luo Gang. After a hard struggle, I finally rushed out of Shi Dakai's encirclement. Shi Dakai (2) Shi Dakai defeated Zeng Guofan, who was well-prepared and had a fatal weakness, and was dismembered by Shi Dakai. Although Shi Dakai is young, he is rich in the ability to lead and command the army. He saw that the Qing navy was well-equipped and well-commanded, and could not win hard. But even the most powerful equipment has its fatal weakness. I don't know if you can see it. Shi Dakai asked the generals. The generals looked at each other, wondering what it was. Shi Dakai said: Among the former demon sailors, the long dragon and the fast crab were big but clumsy, which were more suitable for commanding loads, but not for moving quickly. The big ship must rely on the clever manipulation of the small boat to play a fighting role. The cooperation of large and small ships can complement each other, which is Zeng's strength. However, everything in the world has its advantages and disadvantages. If you separate the big and small ships, they will all lose their function. This is called two-in-one, and the teacher loses. "Shi Dakai is good at fighting, but also because he can hold his breath and handle things calmly, without hurry or rashness. In Zeng Guofan's confrontation, he saw that the Qing navy was strong and the sailors were weak. Just use the word "drag" to fight with the Qing army. The Qing army was worried and worried. Shi Dakai first adopted the operational strategy of persisting in not fighting, consuming the enemy and taking advantage of the weakness to fight back. They stayed in Hukou and Meijiazhou for a month. The Qing army came all the way here, and there must be a shortage of food and grass. He deliberately carried rice, grain, etc. Where the Qing army can see it. Seeing glistening rice, even Zeng Guofan was tempted. "When the army fights, food and grass come first." Military food is the key to the victory or defeat of the army. A see such a good opportunity, even if feel cheated, also want to try. In case these grains are robbed, the army will have food to eat. Besides, their troops only have enough food for three or four days. Only Peng Yulin hesitated and doubted that Tian Ping's army was fishing. Li wanted to try his luck for this military achievement. If something goes wrong, he wants to quit quickly. But whether the enemy cheated or not, getting these grains back is the greatest victory. Most importantly, Li's boats that went to Taiping Army to grab grain were all junk boats. All 250 sampans landed in Poyang Lake. The long dragon and fast crab in the navy of the Qing army left the sampan, just like a tiger lost its limbs and could only move with difficulty. The whole battle was guarded by artillery on board, and the Taiping Army dared not approach. Tian Pingjun's Zhou Guoyu listened to Zeng Guofan's instructions and led ten clippers to besiege from all directions. Shi Dakai, like Zeng Guofan, is the supreme commander, but he is a scholar and his hands are tied. Watching the enemy kill me, I felt heartbroken and my limbs twitched. I knew I was going to die. Zeng Guofan didn't want to suffer from the cramp and peeling of Tianpingjun, so he pushed open the hatch and jumped into the river. When Wang's bodyguard saw this, he jumped into the river to save him. At the right moment, Peng Yulin came in a boat and rescued Zeng Guofan. This is the second time Zeng Guofan jumped into the river! Many people say Zeng Guofan is hypocritical, cold and cunning. It is rare to see Zeng Guofan die again and again for the sake of the Qing Dynasty, either jumping into the river or preparing to commit suicide. Unlike most honest officials at that time, Zeng Guofan was not greedy for money, lewd and greedy. He is already a rare decent man. This time, Zeng Guofan saw that he was saved, and he was no longer as pessimistic and desperate as last time. It is "the brave shoot and swallow blood" to wash away today's shame with greater victory in the future. Zeng Guofan never rode a horse. This time, he will fight hard with the Taiping Army. Zeng Guofan should be acting at this time, of course, but he just covered his face by jumping into the river for himself. Of course, his people won't watch him die. When I was embarrassed, I heard someone shouting excitedly: "Long Hair was defeated!" " ! "Originally Bao Chao then led two thousand soldiers rob food back, coming from behind the taiping rebels. Luo Zenan Tachibu looked at the chaos of Taiping rebels and took the opportunity to fight. Seeing the navy's victory, Shi Dakai sounded the golden bell order to retreat for fear of the army's mishap. Zeng Guofan was happy and ashamed when he saw the Taiping rebels retreating. He vomited one mouthful blood and immediately fell off his horse. Seeing this, the author's eyes are moist and he feels that Zeng Guofan is not easy. A scholar has a cavity of loyalty to the country. A * * *, but loyal to the qing, exhausted. Because it is * * *, Zeng Guofan's loyalty is also feared by emperors and ministers. How much courage does it take for an upright man to jump into the river twice and come back to life again in order to serve his country faithfully and honor his ancestors? Without strong inner endurance, it is impossible to persist in such officialdom. Zeng Guofan's spirit is worth learning from later generations. It is this persistent spirit and perseverance that made Zeng Guofan a famous minister. Zeng Guofan (3) Shi Dakai defeated Zeng Guofan three times. According to "Chu Koulue", the Taiping Army saved in our army (Xiang Army) when the moon was dark and windy. In the boat clip, the rocket nozzle was in full swing, and the Xiang army was defeated and the trench was lost. Zeng Guofan saw that he was no longer an army, so he let the people on board jump into the three-board boat to escape, so as not to die. Shi Dakai Hukou and Jiujiang raided Chen Gong twice, which reversed the crisis of the whole western front battlefield. Another outstanding battle commanded by Shi Dakai was the Battle of Sweeping Jiangxi. Zeng Guofan in hukou, Jiujiang fiasco, hiding in Nanchang, Jiangxi, immediately sent Luo Zenan reinforcements Hu Linyi to defend Wuchang. Shi Dakai saw the emptiness of Zeng Guofan's base area in Jiangxi, and with lightning speed, he conquered Yining State in one fell swoop. Shi Dakai successively captured more than ten counties in Linjiang and Yuanzhou. Zeng Guofan was forced to come to Zhangshu Town, 50 miles away from Linjiang Prefecture. Zeng Guofan captured Shi Dakai earlier and earlier because Zhangshu Town was located in the main road. I didn't know Shi Dakai was a soldier. Seeing the terrain of Zhangshu Town and the dry wood on the hillside, I had an idea. Several generals of Taiping Army thought of "fire" attack at the same time. In Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Zhuge Liang and Zhou Yu fought with "fire" and won. Now Shi Dakai, also with increasing firepower, defeated Zeng Guofan in one fell swoop. With a genial smile, Zeng Guofan jumped on the boat from Tuofang to escape. The day after Zeng Guofan and his party entered Nanchang, Shi Dakai led the troops to surround Nanchang. Zeng Guofan boarded the tower every day and looked at the Taiping flag flying outside the city. It was a sea of people, and his heart and gallbladder were broken. Then, General Luo Zenan was shot. Zeng Guofan set up a mourning hall for Luo Zenan in the city, and personally led the condolences. Shi Dakai commanded Taiping rebels to attack the city outside the city. Zeng Guofan secretly made up his mind that once the city was broken, he would commit suicide immediately. Zeng Guofan once again made up his mind to die. It seems that no matter how big a person is, when he is at a loss, he can only be decided by death. Zeng Guofan's "The Battle Map of the Qing Army and the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom" specifically explained his cronies. Once he dies, he must leave copies of the emperor's Zhu Pi, court orders and all previous plays and letters for Zeng Shi's descendants to watch. He quickly took a piece of bamboo paper and wrote a few lines: Father, Wan Fu Jinan: My son has always been loyal to the country. This 820 silver is not a salary, but a salary for my son. Jingqi brought it back today, of which 420 was for my father's adult pension and 420 was for Jize's marriage. Please take good care of your father. Male courtiers knelt down and told Zeng Guofan that since he was determined to die, his heart was at peace and he fell asleep at night. When he woke up, Wen Jun told him, "All the long hair has been pulled out! Conclusion: Zeng Guofan was defeated by Shi Dakai three times. Seeing that Shi Dakai was about to attack the city, he had to give up because of internal disputes in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. After the defeat of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, Shi Dakai said on his deathbed: "The winner is the king, and the loser is the enemy. If you kill me in this life, how do you know that I won't kill you in the next life? " "。 Shu Hai Congtan records that the place where the stone died was in Chengdu, and Lianhua Street was marked with an arrow. Since the three men were tied to the execution ground, they all looked Zhan Ran and did not flinch. And he was executed in the middle of the year, and all the deaths were silent. What a strange man. Zeng Guofan's fortunes changed and he became a famous minister in the Qing Dynasty. Although Zeng Guofan held a high position and established the Xiang army, he could not fight. But what really made Zeng Guofan worship Hou and seal his wife and children is military service. It can be seen that knowing how to use troops is more important than knowing the art of war. Although some people called Zeng Guofan cunning, Zeng Guofan was also conscientious and loyal to his country. So many * * *. Zeng Guofan is the only one who can carry it out to the end, which shows that Zeng Guofan is a man of great wisdom.
