Zhao Liewen, Zeng Guofan's aide, predicted the demise of the Qing Dynasty. What kind of person is he?

Zhao Liewen, Zeng Guofan's aide, correctly predicted the time of the demise of the Qing Dynasty, which is enough to show that he was a very clever man and had unique views on the political situation at that time. It can be said that Zhao Liewen's thought is unique and advanced, and his vision is keen.

Zhao Liewen was first introduced to Zeng Guofan by his relatives. Zeng Guofan didn't reuse Zhao Liewen at that time, because he thought he was younger. Instead, he pulled him into the army and showed him how soldiers were trained. At that time, Zeng Guofan wanted to give Zhao Liewen a shock. I didn't expect to give Zeng Guofan a lot of advice after joining Zeng Guofan's army in Zhao Liewen.

He clearly pointed out the problems of Zeng Guofan's army at that time. For example, at that time, the management in the military camp was lax and there was a lack of military discipline to restrain soldiers. It can be inferred that Zeng Guofan's road at that time was not effective, and I am afraid it was also irresistible to the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom's army. At that time, Zeng Guofan was very angry after listening to Zhao Liewen's remarks, thinking that he was just an armchair strategist. Just as he was trying to drive Zhao Liewen away, there was a sudden news that his army was defeated and fled by Taiping rebels. This made Zeng Guofan sit up and take notice of Zhao Liewen from now on, and very sincerely left him as his staff.

At that time, after the Qing Dynasty experienced two Opium Wars, the whole country was riddled with holes. At that time, the reformists in North Korea tried to innovate, and Empress Dowager Cixi, the ruler of North Korea, also chose to support their decision. Faced with this situation, Zhao Liewen took the initiative to tell Zeng Guofan that the Qing Dynasty could destroy this country within 50 years. At that time, Zeng Guofan was very skeptical about his words, because he thought that the current rulers were carrying out reforms and there were many talents seeking change for China. This alone can support the Qing dynasty for 50 years. But I didn't expect that in the end, as Zhao Liewen predicted, within 50 years, the Qing Dynasty would perish.
