The first chapter is the pain of Zeng Guofan's seven imperial examinations

& gt& gt Zeng Guofan's philosophy of life is "being clumsy". Since his nature is dull, Zeng Guofan should give full play to his advantages of dullness.

& gt& gt always do it in the most clumsy and practical way. Trickle accumulation, dripping water wears away the stone, pursuing solid and thorough, step by step. He pays attention to "sincerity" in his life. Everyone is fake. I am sincere and don't play with my mind.

& gt& gt A gentleman doesn't take shortcuts, and he doesn't seek fame. Save money and make progress. A gentleman may succeed later than others, but once he succeeds, he is a great success.

Chapter 2 Why should we "learn to be a saint"

Thirty years is a very important year in Zeng Guofan's life history. This year, he decided to thoroughly remould oneself, turn over a new leaf, and made up his mind to learn to be a "saint".

& gt& gt Zeng Guofan set himself the following basic study schedule: keep a diary in regular script every day, read ten pages of history every day, and tell one article in each diary after a meal. This is the lower limit of the courses that must be completed. In addition, he reads Yi and practices composition every day. By keeping a diary, Zeng Guofan improved his learning efficiency.

& gt& gt He described his fight with Zheng Xiaoshan in his diary and then analyzed it. Although both of them had problems, the sage taught him to start from himself and mend as soon as possible, realizing that he would change soon. So he put down his pen and immediately went to Zheng Xiaoshan to make amends. Zheng Xiaoshan was also very moved. It turned out that both of them were at fault. As a result, Zeng Guofan took the initiative to apologize, so they raised their glasses and let bygones be bygones.

& gt& gt Zeng Guofan reflected, and critics praised people for being cautious, which would make people take their words seriously.

& gt& gt So every time he chats with someone, he will record the content in his diary. When he commits the disease of "hypocrisy", he will blame himself and will not let it go.

& gt& gt Because the external force is far greater than the internal force. Things have to be exciting and forced to succeed.

& gt& gt So in the primary stage of self-cultivation, it is very important to be fierce. In the ongoing stage, toughness is more important. In the process of self-improvement, a person will certainly experience numerous repetitions, failures, setbacks and even retrogression. The key is not to give up.

& gt& gt Don't stop when you are sleepy. After this pass, you can enter less. Go in again, get sleepy again, endure again, get excited again, and there will be a day of prosperity and progress. Without learning Chinese characters, everything is extremely difficult, and all that makes sense are heroes.

& gt& gt It took him 30 days to quit smoking, and then it took him 30 years to quit other more intractable diseases. In repeated tempering, Zeng Guofan's temperament and personality gradually changed. He is more and more persistent in his work, more generous, considerate and sincere, and has more friends every day. His quality is becoming more and more pure, he stands higher and higher and sees farther and farther.

& gt& gt A person's life is like a fruit ripening process: you can't be anxious or slack. People's efforts, God's cultivation, will make a tree grow taller quietly, and will also make a person mature slowly: "Don't forget to help, look at the ground and grow taller in thousands of feet."

& gt& gt Looking back on Zeng Guofan's life, we find that determination is decisive for a person's personality development. Because people's great potential is often unknown to human beings.

& gt& gt How much a person's ability plays is closely related to his requirements for himself. In other words, spiritual strength directly determines the degree of physical potential.

Therefore, a person's spiritual growth, it is very important to "aspire", or to establish a lifelong goal.

& gt& gt Zeng Guofan's first key to success in his life is to aim high. This ambition drove him to never stop in front of small temptations and small goals all his life. This made him unwilling and unwilling to retreat in the face of great difficulties.

Chapter III Amazing Advanced Ways

Twelve catch-up rules of>& gt self-management

& gt& gt( 1). Neat and earnest, always careless. When there is nothing, the heart is in the cavity, and when there is a need, it is single-minded and not mixed. Qingming is in the bow, like the rising sun.

(3) get up early. Get up at dawn, and don't be attached to love after waking up.

(4) Reading is the only way. Don't read his book until it is finished. Reading from the east to the west is only for foreigners.

(5) reading history. When Bing Shen bought Twenty-three History in 200 1 year, the adults said, "I borrowed money to buy books and spared no effort to sew them for you. If you can count it once, you won't be responsible for me. " After that, I circled ten leaves every day, which was unfilial.

(6) Be careful. Pay attention to the moment, the first time.

(7) invigorating qi. When demonstrating gas reservoirs, you have nothing to say to people.

(9) God knows death. Reading and recording your thoughts every day, seeking deep meaning is selfish.

(10) month is unforgettable. Write a few poems every month to test the amount of accumulation and the prosperity of qi. Don't dwell on this all the time, it's the easiest to lose heart.

(1 1) as a character. Write for half an hour after dinner. Any pen and ink entertainment is regarded as your own homework. Don't leave anything till tomorrow. The more you accumulate, the harder it will be to clean up.

& gt& gt One is getting up early. Get up before dawn every day and never stay in bed.

The second is to sit still. Sit quietly for half an hour every day, that is, one hour. Let your heart calm down, don't be impetuous every day, and be led by affairs.

Eight is to practice calligraphy. Write for half an hour after breakfast every day.

The last rule is not to go out at night. Don't go out to chat with friends when it is dark.

& gt& gt2. Choose friends as the first important thing in life.

& gt& gt Zeng Guofan, after deciding to become a saint, constantly reflected on his own shortcomings and paid more and more attention to others when getting along with others.

& gt& gt has more and more friends.

& gt& gt Zeng Guofan's style of doing things is never sharp, down-to-earth, not crooked ways, not taking shortcuts. Facts have proved that his approach is very wise.

& gt& gt Everything that happens in the world is exciting and compelling.

& gt& gt From this experience, Zeng Guofan realized that humiliation is the greatest motivation and blow is the best help for people with will. Grit your teeth and eat the humiliation alive, which becomes the nutrition to nourish your will and determination. This constitutes the core part of Zeng Guofan's life experience.

& gt& gt "There are very few people doing nothing in the world. Those who are greedy for profits are in half, and those who are motivated are in half.

& gt& gt This is a very important starting point. In fact, many times you don't need to have any super genius ideas to do things. All you have to do is sum up what mistakes others have made, and then you may succeed in the opposite direction.

& gt& gt Zeng Guofan is a scholar and an idealist, but he is practical in his work. The biggest common fault of literati is to sing high-profile, but in fact, to do anything, we must first solve the material foundation.

& gt& gt "Respiratory care, pain, fire, go with soup. If you win, raise your glass and make contributions; if you lose, you will try your best to save you. This is an important source of the cohesion and combat effectiveness of the Xiang army.

& gt& gt The strength of the mind is far greater than the strength of the body. Although a headstrong man from a military background has temporary courage, he has no firm belief. Zeng Guofan wants to build an army with faith and spiritual strength, because faith produces combat effectiveness and spirit produces combat effectiveness. Zhu Cheng's Neo-Confucianism is the common belief of these Hunan scholars. Under their beliefs, they can show amazing courage and energy.

& gt& gt He who is near the mountain is benevolent, and he who is near the water is wise. "Mountain people are rough, water people are slippery, city people are lazy, and country people are simple, so the soldiers are delicious.

& gt& gt It's better to use soldiers from the countryside than people from the city and the water. "

& gt& gt Before Zeng Guofan founded Xiang Army, there was no such thing as ideological and political education in China's regular army. Zeng Guofan was a man who attached great importance to spiritual strength. He knows that material strength is limited.

& gt& gt This is because he is "not afraid of hardship" and thinks very hard. He can push himself harder, more solidly and more ruthlessly than others. Zeng Guofan is not smarter than others, but he is very clever. Zeng Guofan's cleverness is based on clumsiness, racking his brains and doing his best. "Stupidity" means "cleverness" to the extreme, and "stupidity" means "cleverness" to the extreme. Isn't a powerful computer based on the simplest binary with only "1" and "0"?

& gt& gt Zeng Guofan experienced many difficulties and obstacles in his life, and handled countless major events, which were generally decent. Its outstanding point is that it is not afraid of trouble, effortless, in-depth analysis of things, leaving no dead ends. On the basis of careful analysis of things, find out the key points and grasp the key points. After each treatment, we should also sum up the experience and lessons for the next reference. "The more bitter wisdom is, the brighter it is", which is his personal experience.

Chapter VII Hubei Governor Who Gains and Who Losses

& gt& gt I don't like big achievements, but I will investigate small achievements.

& gt& gt In Zeng Guofan's view, "failure" is a valuable asset in a person's life. Every failure should be thoroughly understood so as not to pay the price in vain.

& gt& gt Zeng Guofan was brilliant because he used the system to solve problems that others solved with morality. Defending the chief executive was originally a moral requirement, but Zeng Guofan made it an act in line with his subordinates' own interests through the system.

& gt& gt Because his struggle with the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was not only for the emperor, but also for the world and cultural orthodoxy.

Xianfeng refused to give him an official position, which made Zeng Guofan very painful. His disorderly command disrupted Zeng Guofan's overall plan. An excellent strategist should be an excellent strategist first. The so-called strategy is based on the macro and long-term, sorting out all kinds of complex elements in order of priority and order, and then coming up with the most effective action plan. Emperor Xianfeng is a man without strategic vision, or his strategic principle is "treating the headache and treating the foot pain".

Nanjing, the capital of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, was very afraid that the Taiping Army would take this place as its base, push their troops northward and lift him down from the throne. For this reason, he was "restless, unwilling to eat, and worried all day long." Therefore, Emperor Xianfeng's attention was limited to the southeast corner, and he thought that the key to the war was to win Nanjing. In this way, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was completely disintegrated.

& gt& gt An excellent strategist should be an excellent strategist first. The so-called strategy is based on the macro and long-term, sorting out all kinds of complex elements in order of priority and order, and then coming up with the most effective action plan.

Turn book club: turn:

Thinking of Drucker's definition of strategy, strategy is not thinking about what we will do in the future, but that what we do now can have a future.

"An outstanding strategist, first of all, should be an outstanding strategist. The so-called strategy is based on the macro and long-term, sorting out all kinds of complex elements in order of priority and order, and then coming up with the most effective action plan. "

& gt& gt。

Chapter VIII Jiangxi Dilemma and "Great Regret"

& gt& gt Zeng Guofan's heart may pass a trace of jealousy for the first time, but this jealousy will be swept away, leaving more happiness.

& gt& gt Looking back on my previous life, I have always had a strong sense of moral superiority, thinking that I am aboveboard and clear about people. Therefore, I am too arrogant, too straightforward, too straightforward, and of course it is easy to cause resentment from others.

& gt& gt In the world, only unpretentious people can be officials, and you can run in military affairs.

& gt& gt Zeng Guofan read the letters from his friends and recalled the past time and again, and more and more clearly saw his fatal weakness: too arrogant, too eager, blind and reckless, blind and strong.

& gt& gt Zeng Guofan finally realized that those who act too rigidly seem to be powerful on the surface, but in fact they are weak. The real strong people in this land are those who appear weak and give in.

& gt& gt The so-called "the world is the softest and the strongest", "Jianghai can be the king of all the valleys, and use its goodness to make it better". The so-called "big softness is not soft, it is just." The hidden rules of China society cannot be swept away at once. The hypocrisy, numbness, tactfulness and deception that he despised before are necessary means to survive in this land. Only when necessary, smooth and soft, can we successfully pass the difficult barrier. Only by embracing everything can we mobilize all our strength and reach the other side of victory.

& gt& gt Do things calmly, think more about other people's psychology, and think from other people's perspective; Praise others more, praise the advantages of others; Do things from beginning to end, the more careful you are; Treat people and things with more sincerity and respect.

& gt& gt This time, Zeng Guofan's friends were surprised to find that Zeng Guofan had changed and they hardly knew each other.

First, he became kind, modest and thoughtful.

Before & gt& gt, he was straightforward and paid little attention to empty words and conventions.

& gt& gt Now, like those mediocre and vulgar officials, they pay attention to etiquette and ostentation.

& gt& gt Now, he is trying to tolerate those ugly officialdom survivors, put himself in their shoes, try his best to win them over and comfort them when communicating, and "take advantage of them" when necessary.

& gt& gt Second, he told the emperor that he was no longer so outspoken, but learned to play Taiji Chuan.

& gt& gt Third, he is no longer cautious about recommendation, but "goes with the flow".

Chapter 9 Anqing this tough bone

& gt& gt This army (Xiang Army) is quite strong and shameful, and there is no trouble. Only proud people in the world are unloved, and shameless people are unloved. "This is undoubtedly criticizing Xianfeng.

& gt& gt In fact, there is nothing special about Zeng Guofan's life, but he has done it solidly and firmly. This way of fighting is also the embodiment of Zeng Guofan's unique philosophy of life and way of thinking. Therefore, the first secret of Zeng Guofan's war is to be "stable" and be invincible first. The military attaches importance to "self-consolidation", that is, it must save itself first, and then it can talk about winning.

& gt& gt Zeng Guofan fought all his life, not greedy for small profits, not seeking clever thinking, down-to-earth, slow and steady. He has never fought an unprepared and uncertain battle in his life. Every time he fought, he made great efforts to study the enemy-enemy situation, combat deployment, logistics supply, how to save the unfavorable situation and so on. It was not until every link was calculated and thoroughly calculated that he made up his mind to fight.

& gt& gt Two people fought, waiting for the other party to attack, and the guest took the initiative to attack. The host has an advantage and the guest has a disadvantage. Therefore, when fighting, you must be the master and not be a guest. Good at changing customers.

& gt& gt, the situation is weak. It's an ancient saying. "That is to say, the purpose of the war is not the gain and loss of one city and one place, but to destroy each other's effective strength. Since the Taiping Army started, it has often used one or two cities to attract a large number of Qing troops to besiege, and they turned to places where the Qing troops were insufficient. Therefore, "the whole army is the best policy, followed by land;" Killing thieves is the best policy, breaking thieves is a great achievement, and the city is the second. "

& gt& gt The Confucian concept is that the family is greater than the country, and filial piety is higher than loyalty. A person can be a father, but not a father.

& gt& gt At all times and in all countries, soldiers with great talent and overall situation can always grasp the problem from a strategic height, see the key points through the temporary chaos, see the essence through the interweaving of interests, and firmly grasp the relationship between long-term and immediate, overall and local.

Chapter 10 feud with He Guiqing

& gt& gt Zeng Guofan therefore entered a period that was most favorable to the official situation. Before the recovery of Anqing, Zeng Guofan devoted himself to the military, but he had not completely begun to manage the bureaucracy. Now, he can calmly lay out the personnel in Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces.

& gt& gt But it turns out that "build a smooth road, make an early start" and clever response are useless in the face of world disasters. What really works is Zeng Guofan's clumsiness, solidity and starting from the roots.

Chapter XI The Last Battle of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom

& gt& gt "There is no easy situation in the world, and there is no difficulty in the world; The joy of life, the sorrow of life. "

& gt& gt In other words, these days, Jiangxi's political envoys deliberately oppose themselves, so they are disgusted. But I think about how the ancients did things, isn't it because I, like myself, often encountered constraints and setbacks? If you are angry with others and want others to obey, you will take overbearing measures to eliminate dissidents. After a long time, you will become an arrogant minister and bring disaster to yourself. If you can be patient in the face of other people's opposition, cultivate your own mind, compromise, and don't worry about no "opposition", this is the original intention of the saint. So I can use this unpleasant thing to sharpen my mind.

Modern research on stress has a conclusion. Your attitude towards stress determines whether the influence of stress is positive or negative. You think that the pressure now makes you grow, and you really grow.

& gt& gt But I think about how the ancients did things. Isn't it because I, like myself, often encountered constraints and setbacks? If you are angry with others and want others to obey, you will take overbearing measures to eliminate dissidents. After a long time, you will become an arrogant minister and bring disaster to yourself. If you can be patient in the face of other people's opposition, cultivate your own mind, compromise, and don't worry about no "opposition", this is the original intention of the saint. So I can use this unpleasant thing to sharpen my mind.

& gt& gt Many great men like others crouching at their feet like autumn grass, so that all their decisions can be "resolutely carried out" and "carried out if they understand, and carried out if they don't understand". Zeng Guofan is not like this. He has been fighting for fame and fortune all his life, and he likes to listen to other people's criticism best. The more powerful you are, the more you take the initiative to listen to unpleasant words to get rid of your anger, politeness and pity.

& gt& gt There has been no poverty for hundreds of millions of years in ancient and modern times, and there are dozens of cold and hot days in life, only a moment. ..... There are many things to do and many ways to gain a good reputation. People who can do what they can in life are just an ear in Taicang.

& gt& gt "Since ancient times, in great wars and great undertakings, only three-tenths are man-made, and seven-tenths live by providence. People who often work hard are not famous people, and famous people are not people who enjoy happiness. " People who really contribute may not be famous, and people who are famous may not be able to enjoy happiness, which is often the case. "Wealth and fame are floating in the world, but giant breasts are really useful." Wealth and fame are for others to see. Only with an open mind can you benefit yourself. "You don't have to do your own work, you don't have to do your own fame. It is always important to keep your body and not get liver disease. "

Chapter 12 "Transfer power to a little bit"

& gt& gt Yi Zhuan said, "Japan and China will lose money." When a person's status, power and reputation reach the peak, that is, when he is going downhill. A little carelessness will bring unpredictable dangers. Therefore, the more brilliant you are, the more you should try to keep a clear head and seek advantages and avoid disadvantages.

& gt& gt, it is not easy to do this. In the feudal society of China, there are many cases like Zeng Guofan who successfully completed this transformation, but those who are ruined and cooked by a dead dog will never leave books. This also shows his rich historical experience, sensitive political sense, careful examination and decisive handling. "

& gt& gt Sages must be heroes, and heroes are not necessarily sages. In Guo Songtao's view, Zeng Guofan was a saint, but left ended in a hero. This is the fundamental difference between the two.

Chapter 13 The Clear and Turbid of the Governor of Liangjiang River

& gt& gt If the upright officials are classified, Zeng Guofan should belong to "atypical upright officials". In other words, bones are clean and hardworking, and on the surface, they are the same. This is because Zeng Guofan's ambition is not to be an "honest official", but to do great things.

& gt& gt He honed himself hard and tried his best to achieve the goal of being a foreign king.

& gt& gt A maverick is bound to be rejected by the public: "Who is better than me in good reputation? If I have a good name, people will have an unattractive name and a far unattractive name. In contrast, Gai is embarrassed. " Therefore, Zeng Guofan deliberately kept Harry spotless, but tried to avoid the name of clear water. His choice is far more complicated and heavy than being an honest official. So he is powerful and can achieve great things.

Chapter XIV Foreigners are also human beings.

& gt& gt This is certainly not a random choice, but it has a clear meaning. This shows that foreigners do not want to overthrow the Qing Dynasty. They are determined to do, one is to trade, and the other is to ask the Qing Dynasty to put down its lofty shelf and communicate with them on an equal footing.

& gt& gt First of all, he realized that the arrival of foreigners marked a new stage in history, which was not transferred by human will, but arranged by heaven or creation.

& gt& gt In this case, know yourself and yourself, and actively study the external situation.

& gt& gt Only strive for self-improvement and don't get angry easily. If there is no self-improvement reality, but there are words that live up to expectations, it will be useless and harmful.

& gt& gt In addition to honest diplomacy, Zeng Guofan also put forward a concept that seemed very advanced at that time: in foreign exchanges, don't fight for face, but fight for the lining. Don't fight for small things, fight for big things.

Chapter 15 "General Suppression" and His Successor Li Hongzhang * * *

& gt& gt People who do great things must see at least three steps. When Zeng Guofan abolished the Xiang army on a large scale, he left a successor, that is, "cutting Xiang to keep Huai": although he dismissed the Xiang army in his hand, he left Huai army under his student Li Hongzhang.

& gt& gt Zeng Guofan also has a rather "idealistic" view. He believes that in China society, the whole atmosphere is influenced by the thoughts and personalities of a few core figures in high positions. In other words, the thickness of social atmosphere is advocated by one or two people. "If one or two people's hearts are just, then everyone will go to justice with them; If one or two people are interested in profit, then everyone will follow the crowd. The general trend, the general trend, although there is great strength, dare not go against it. " "I call it honesty, which is also advocated by one or two sages and has gradually become a trend."

& gt& gt If you want to use it correctly, you should not only observe words and colors, but also try to use it realistically to test whether it is effective. When newcomers arrive, Zeng Guofan usually lets them go to the front line for a period of time. One is to let them know the face of Xiang army intuitively, the other is to know the current situation of the front line through them, and the third is to identify their own abilities in this way.

& gt& gt After arranging the work, the next step is cultivation. Zeng Guofan believes that talents "are mostly exercised by force." Natural talents are rare, and talents below the middle level can be cultivated through training and education.

& gt& gt Zeng Guofan, like Confucius, deeply loved this teacher's job, even more than being an official. Zeng Guofan once said that "a gentleman has three pleasures", one of which is "macro-award-winning talents, attractive and enterprising". Zeng Guofan, like Confucius, was good at "teaching students in accordance with their aptitude" and adopted different educational methods for different people.

& gt& gt In his later years, Li Hongzhang personally said to Wu Yong, Zeng Guofan's granddaughter-in-law, "My teacher is really amazing. I used to work for him in his camp. He gets up early every morning and has breakfast at six. I can't catch up with sleepiness. He insisted on waiting for me to sit with him. I couldn't help catching up, washed my hands at random and went to the base. I really can't stand it. After a long time, if you get used to it, you will get used to it and gradually feel less bitter. So I worked by myself later, and got up early, only to know that I benefited a lot, all of which were done by teachers.

& gt& gt Zeng Guofan tried his best to protect his subordinates. Most of his men succeeded in the shogunate and then made their own careers.

& gt& gt To communicate with foreigners, there must be four words: loyalty, respect, restraint and intimacy. Loyalty, no fraud; Believers do not cheat; Dedicators are thick; Respect, modesty.

& gt& gt Li Hongzhang expressed his unswerving commitment to Zeng Guofan's teachings. "To communicate with foreigners, we should master the word loyalty and respect from teachers.

& gt& gt As a student, Li Hongzhang had close cooperation and many conflicts with his teacher Zeng Guofan all his life, but brilliantly, he never fought with Zeng Guofan and knew how to advance and retreat. This is another important reason why Zeng Guofan succeeded Li Hongzhang in the future. Adult relationships are too fragile and thin-skinned. Don't tear your face off unless they have nothing to do in the future. When you have to harm the interests of others, you should try to explain that there are always more ways than contradictions ... As the ancients said, be a man, and we will see later. That's the truth.

More than & gt& gt, he didn't fight with Zeng Guofan, and he knew how to advance and retreat. This is another important reason why Zeng Guofan succeeded Li Hongzhang in the future.

& gt& gt Zeng Guofan is a man who is good at summing up experience. He fought with his mind, not with blood courage.

Chapter 16 Tianjin Religious Plan: How Zeng Guofan became a "traitor"

& gt& gt In this life, jealousy and greed are the hardest things to get rid of. The so-called "don't mind" is to restrain your jealousy. "Not seeking" is to restrain one's greed. Both of these points sound like platitudes. In fact, many people, especially many contemporary celebrities, can't handle it well. Envy often appears among people with similar fame and career, and greed often appears when they are promoted to a higher position and get rich. Even great men like Zuo and Guo Songtao often make mistakes in these two points. Therefore, he particularly emphasized that if these two points are not removed, it will be difficult to build products and hinder interests. I hope that Zeng's descendants can get rid of these two points and achieve a "clean heart."

& gt& gt When Zhao Liewen saw Zeng Guofan off, he found that Zeng Guofan's mental state was very poor. He was "full of energy", just like a leaf beaten by autumn frost. Therefore, he "tasted anxiety" and worried that Zeng Guofan's health would go wrong. In fact, it was because of his "eternal guilt" in dealing with the Tianjin religious plan that Zeng Guofan's spirit was greatly hit and he died of depression shortly after returning to Liangjiang.
