Reforming the Qing Dynasty's military system into a recruitment system was also the primary move for Zeng Guofan to establish the Hunan Army. He said, "For several years, he hated the habit of military camps. All the military camps were defensive. Therefore, he decided not to use camps or generals." Therefore, when he formed the Hunan Army, he advocated recruiting soldiers from the village farmers instead of citizens. His intention was to recruit soldiers from the village farmers in a simple and vigorous manner, which was conducive to instilling feudal loyal and ethical ideas and adapting to the arduous and cruel war environment. Zeng Guofan also stipulated that "recruiting soldiers and bravery must be obtained, and the prefectures, residences, parents, brothers, wives, names and names of the skies. Each collection was attached to the books for investigation." Anyone who was not guaranteed would not be recruited. Zeng Guofan's approach was completely inherited from the famous anti-Japanese generals in the late Ming Dynasty.

Jiguang's idea of ​​recruiting troops. Zeng Guofan also changed the organization of the Green Camp. The organization of the Hunan Army was based on the battalion as the basic combat unit, with sentries below the battalion, the land division as the team, the navy as the ship, and the horse team as the shed. At the beginning of the Hunan Army, there were no officials at the battalion above, and each battalion was under the jurisdiction of Zeng Guofan. After that, the number of battalions increased, so that the title of commander and division was given. Zeng Guofan required that the generals must be selected personally, and the soldiers must be found by themselves, and the army must be formed at the principle of layer-by-layer control. From the command to the soldiers and brave men all recruited and selected one by one, which changed the disadvantages of "soldiers and soldiers do not know each other, and soldiers and generals do not get along with each other" in the green camp, but it also clearly exposed the intention to establish a private army, and since then, it set a precedent for "soldiers are generals" in modern China, and the situation of warlords with troops and separatist forces began to show signs.

Zeng Guofan tried his best to govern the military strategy and advocated the use of Confucianism to govern the military, that is, to use feudal ethics to educate officers and soldiers, and to use benevolence, politeness, loyalty and trustworthiness as the basis for governing the military to cultivate officers and soldiers. His purpose was to maintain the morale of the military and cultivate a private army that was completely absolutely obedient to him. Therefore, he believed that "those who use military forces must first be self-governed and then defeat the enemy."

Zeng Guofan's military thoughts have influenced generations. Not to mention the Hunan and Huai generals of the same era took Zeng Guofan as a model, and later bourgeois military strategists such as Huang Xing and Cai E also highly praised Zeng Guofan's military strategy. Zhang Zhidong and Yuan Shikai and others adopted many practices of Zeng Guofan's military governance after the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895. Jiang Fangzhen, a military strategist of the Republic of China, praised Zeng Guofan as a modern history in his "On National Defense"

"A military genius" also said that all leaders should follow Zeng Guofan. Chiang Kai-shek clearly stated that he would follow Zeng Guofan and required that the generals in the Kuomintang army must "recognize history and follow Zeng Hu". Zeng Guofan attached the most importance to spiritual education in his military management, and paid great attention to this point throughout his life. Zeng Guofan's "love the people as the first priority of governing the military" was formulated at the beginning of the establishment of the Red Army. [24]

Wang Xin, Yang Yuebin, and Peng Yulin either hired students, or pulled them from the mountains or recruited their own troops, and they all worked together with sincerity so that they could do their best.

Zuo Zongtang: If you are loyal to the country and know others' wisdom, you will feel ashamed of Yuanfu; if you are united as gold, you will attack mistakes like stones, and you will not let down your life.[29]

Li Hongzhang: He has been in charge of nearly 30 years, and his firewood has been passed down, building a house and growing up. He has become famous for 90,000 miles, and he is at peace inside and outside, and it is difficult to see the world in the world.[30]

Zhu Kongzhang: Revitalizing the Jingyun, many kings emerged. In ten years, they were eliminated and revitalized. They were not born to be a saint, but revitalizing them. If Wu can be evil? However, he has been on the verge of death many times, and has indomitable ambitions and great difficulties. Even if he is said to be successful, he is also a plan for humans. Zhao Shubao said: "Speaking about rituals and music, being familiar with poetry and books, he is the marshal." Sun Shubao said: "The Supreme Master established virtue, and then made meritorious, and then made words, which is called three immortals." The Duke was the only one who was in charge of the battle in Tianjin. He was able to fight against the dirty and endure the country, and to stabilize the country, and to achieve perfection, which can be said to be the most loyal. [31]

Ouyang Yu: I think Wen Zheng was not good at using troops but good at using people. He was a ox and a horse-drawn horse-drawn person. Therefore, the talents of the masses were effective, and the great bandits were suppressed and the number one hero of the revival was the first hero. [32]

Liang Qichao: 1 Not only modern times, but also great men who have never seen each other in history; not only China, but also great men who have never seen each other in the world. However, Wen Zheng is not a superb genius, and among the wise men of the times, he is called the most dull and clumsy. What he encounters is also a lifelong rebellion. However, he established virtue, made merit, and made three immortal words, and achieved success that shocked the past and the present, and did not go to Beijing. His life was determined to extricate himself from the customs, and to know the difficulties, and to strive for action. He went through hundreds of thousands of difficulties without being disappointed and bent, and did not seek immediate results. He accumulated a lot of money, took it as a waste, cultivated it with diligence, cultivated it with strength, and was loyal to it, and commanded it with sincerity, brave and diligent, and was extremely hard-working. I thought that Zeng Wenzheng was still in his prime, and China must be rescued by him. 2 I said that Zeng Wenzheng's collection must be restored three times a day. [33]

Tan Sitong: After seeing the famous dukes in modern times, they may not have been cleared at the beginning. Since there are many changes, their abilities are outstanding. For example, Zeng Wenzheng, Huimin and his son, Ding Yusheng, and Zhongcheng, and had an understanding of the Westernization Affairs Department, they were all obtained through personal experience. Zuo Wenxiang was late, so Shen Guan was the longest. [34]

Zhao Erxun's "Draft History of Qing Dynasty": 1 Guofan is a man with a strong man, beautiful beard, and a triangular triangle. Whenever he looks at the guests, he does not speak when he sees them. When he retreats, he will remember his advantages and disadvantages. He is a natural person, and he will never get tired of his governance for life. He has family rules but is not limited to one teacher. His studies are also comprehensive in the Han and Song dynasties, which means that the ancient kings govern the world, with a thousand latitudes, and they are consistent with etiquette. He cherishes the five rituals of Qin Huitian, and the five rituals of food and goods, so he compiles salt classes, sea transportation, money methods, and river embankments. He also laments that there are no military rituals in ancient times, and there are special chapters for military rituals, such as Qi Jingyuan. The commentators say that Guofan sets up the camp rules and regulations, which are close to military rituals. In his later years, he transforms the people with tranquility and salaries to support scholars. Old Confucians studied and took refuge in them. They are particularly familiar with people and are good at appointing envoys, and countless people have achieved recommendations.

When I saw it, I always looked at the materials and were all right. At that time, I mentioned the instructions of the ancestors to farm and study, and taught their families. When I met generals and officials, I was as strict as their children, so I was happy to use them. I lived in Jiangnan for a long time and had the most merits. 2 The national vassal was based on knowledge and was good at using etiquette. The public and honest heart was particularly good at governing the army and administration. They were determined to follow the truth. They planned the world for a long time and had no experience. The world praised it. It was called Zhuge Liang of the Han Dynasty, Pei Du of the Tang Dynasty, and Shuren of the Ming Dynasty, and was extremely prosperous. Guofan also took thirty-three sages and philosophers of ancient and modern times, and wrote a picture of them as teachers. His lifelong aspirations and great academic performance were seen here. Finally, he became famous and eager to recommend talents as his own responsibility, and the county officials and generals were in the country several times. He served the king with people and the king, and he could not let down his knowledge. Alas! Since the revival, he has only one person.[35]

Yang Changji: Song Han and Fan were both known as Fan, Qing Zeng and Zuo, but Han, the left-handed person, Fan, the Zeng and the missionary.

Wang Kaiyun: If you use generals, you will win, and if you are generals, you will lose.

Yung Wing: Therefore, although he passed away, he was famous throughout the ages. He was great and humble, grand and consolidated, and became the first-class figure in the Qing Dynasty, also known as the specialty of the old religion.

Zhang Taiyan: Zeng Guofan, who praised him as a sage, and who criticized him as a culprit.
