Li Hongchuang create Huai army,has walked out of the vernacular,into Shanghai,into the huai army main force of "Sheng army".The "Sheng army" later was appointed Zhili governor Li Hongchuang,leading coastal defense construction,and from the front line of peasant uprising in the civil war,to the defense against external aggression of the northern coastal defense line,become the most important thing in the northern coastal defense system on land forces.Zhou Shengchuan identity from three members of the family of Zhou,local vigilante group leader,to the huai army main force the leader of Sheng army to the northern coastal defence important qing dynasty military generals.The triple identity is both the transformation,but is not there,but at the same time,the formation of multiple

military doctrine is training Sheng army ocean for convenient,combination of Chinese and western.And the sea and land and reflect the modern military idea of haiphong is prevention.It adhere to the idea advocated in the Sino-French war,behind is the Chinese traditional idea guidance.The mix of Chinese and western,and also the new and old ideology and concrete practice,at the time this is representative of a batch of westernization activity practitioners.The fourth chapter "Become Adept and Rawness: Zhou Shengchuan's limit" is mainly analysis Zhou Shengchuan practice and life.We have

new enterprise,is Zhou Shengchuan can understand and practice,and belong to the techniques used.In relation to the implements of the "truth" of due level,Zhou Shengchuan subject to traditional concept and knowledge,can only lines and speculation,a rawness,not clear condition.Zhou Shengchuan new is learned in the practice process,did not rise to the thought and basic principle,namely Zhou Shengchuan itself is not the modernization of the advanced Chinese.Its fundamental or local family,its kernel or accumulation of identity and experience during the war of the taiping heavenly kingdom,the surface layer is in contact with western blot out the "new".Zhou Shengchuan as the embodiment of this generation of historical figures has its limits,expect their westernization strength and change in the process of practice is unrealistic for state construction."Conclusion" part summarized the full text,in accordance with the local family tradition,the war of the taiping heavenly kingdom,the west into
