Features: Zeng Guofan (1811-1872), styled Bohan, styled Desheng. Born in Xiangxiang, Hunan. He entered officialdom through the imperial examinations and successively served as acting vice ministers of the ministries of War, Industry, Justice, and Personnel. Hong Xiuquan's uprising provided him with a great opportunity to demonstrate his abilities and serve the Qing court. By training the Xiang Army and suppressing the Taiping Rebellion, he quickly rose to prominence and became a high-ranking and powerful "renowned minister of rejuvenation" in the Qing Dynasty. When Zeng Guofan was born, his great-grandfather dreamed of a giant python coiling around the beam, scaring the old man. Although he was not the reincarnation of a python, he was destined to fight for a lifetime as the "true dragon emperor," creating a monumental and earth-shaking achievement.
