Why was Peng Yulin, a famous Hunan soldier, the last official in Qing Dynasty?

Peng Yulin, a native of Anqing Prefecture, Anhui Province, was named Xueqin, who retired as the owner of the provincial nunnery and read incense. He is called Xue Shuai and Peng Qingtian. He was one of the main founders of Xiang Army and the founder of modern navy in China. He used to be governor of Liangjiang, minister of war, and first-class captain of knight. He was honest and upright all his life. He resigned as a senior official six times. He, Zeng Guofan and Zuo are also known as the three masters of the Qing Dynasty.

1853, Peng Yulin joined the Xiang army, and began the transformation from a scholar to a general. In the battle with the Taiping Army, Peng Yulin showed excellent command ability, led the Fifth Battalion of the Navy to defeat the Taiping Army in Xiangtan, and immediately transformed the decadent feelings spread in the Xiang Army into high morale, stabilized morale and won the battle of Xiangtan. Later, in the battle with the Taiping Army, he repeatedly made meritorious deeds and was cleared by the Qing Dynasty. 1864, the Qing army captured Tianjin, the capital of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and declared the failure of Tian Pingtian's regime headed by Hong Xiuquan. Peng Yulin also dared to assume the title of first-class captain because of his bravery and good fighting, but Peng Yulin didn't feel complacent and lay on the credit book as a vegetarian. Later, Peng Yulin and Zeng Guofan planned to establish the Yangtze River Navy, which laid the foundation for China Navy. Its preparation plan has been used to this day. 1884, when the Sino-French war broke out, the French army invaded lang son with the intention of further invading Guangxi and other places. Peng Yulin, who was 68 years old at that time, immediately recruited more than 4,000 soldiers, stationed near Humen, and led his veteran Feng Zicai to fight against the French army, winning a great victory. After the Sino-French War, Peng Yulin submitted his resignation to Qing * * * on the grounds of old age and illness.

Peng Yulin did not covet fame and fortune all his life, nor did he treat private property. In the Qing dynasty, when powerful people were in power and corruption was extremely high, he became a rare honest and indifferent official. As he said, I want to repay those poor people, and I have been praised by the world. Peng Yulin was a respected official in the late Qing Dynasty, but as the saying goes, "Honest officials don't do housework", even Peng Yulin, who is clean and honest, can't do housework.

Anyone who knows Peng Yulin should know that Peng Yulin has a "childhood friend", but because this "childhood friend" is Peng Yulin's sister in a sense, Peng Yulin's mother can't accept that these two people are together and insists on separating them, so she betrothed this "childhood friend" to someone else and let Peng Yulin marry the crepe family. So, who is the descendant of Peng Yulin? Peng is the son of, the descendant of, and the son of crepe with his wife. If this Peng, a descendant of the late Qing Dynasty, I believe the common people are cursing. Although Peng was a rich second generation and an official second generation at that time, he did not inherit his father's mantle and became a hero who was respected and praised by everyone. On the contrary, it ruined Peng's family style. He is a playboy who is ignorant and will only bully others. Therefore, Peng Yulin this son, it is unspeakable.

But if Peng Yulin's descendants can really inherit Peng Yulin's mantle, I believe it is also a beautiful talk. Peng Yulin is also a master of painting plums, not to mention why Peng Yulin painted plums. Just saying that he painted plums is vivid, lifelike and has a unique flavor. If future generations can inherit his artistic talent, they will be another representative figure in the art world; Peng Yulin's character and reputation as an official are also praised by everyone. If Peng Yulin's descendants can inherit his demeanor as an official, they will definitely be another figure. Peng Yulin was born in Anhui and returned to Hunan with his father at the age of 16. Not only does he write well, but he is also good at drawing plums. He read Zhou Yu's theory of water army, so he was appreciated and reused by Zeng Guopan, who was in charge of the water army of Xiang army, and also participated in the movement to suppress the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. He is really a brave soldier. Peng Yulin also worked as an official, and he was a good official who remained uncorrupted, hated evil and was praised by the people. What's more, he resigned six times, which is really admirable.

Peng Yulin's career is relatively successful, but his feelings are not satisfactory. He does have people who really love each other, but how can God fool people into marrying people they don't love? When it comes to marriage, it is bound to talk about Peng Yulin's son! In fact, there are two opinions about Peng Yulin's son, yes or no ~

Some people say that his son was born in the twenty-sixth year of Daoguang, and his name is Peng. Peng is a dude. Due to his long absence and the early death of his wife, crepe, he was lax in disciplining his son Peng, so that Peng abused his power among the people and ruined his reputation. According to other data, Peng Yulin once said that his son was unfilial, that Peng Yongzheng did not know how to suffer hardships, liked his father's shadow, bossed around, was too proud, and even said that Peng Yongzheng was hopeless; That's true, but "poverty is a legacy", so I still hope Peng, I hope the children can mend their ways and reflect. But this is not necessarily true, because there is another saying that Peng Yulin has no son. Peng Yulin's life was summed up in one sentence, saying that he was a man with no desire, no official and no money. It is also said that Peng Yulin, a famous soldier of Xiang Army, was the last official of Qing Dynasty.
