Bao Chao In The Late Qing Dynasty

Bao Chao was an important general of the Xiang army in the late Qing Dynasty.He was neither a Xiang man nor a scholar,but he grew from a single soldier to a commander in more than ten years.The Ting army played an important role in the process of destroying the Taiping army and the Nian army,and gradually developed from a force of three thousand men into a strong force in the battle of Jiangnan.The success of Bao Chao’s army was inseparable from the support of the generals of the Hunan army group.However,the disharmony between the Hunan and Huai armies led to their suppression during the suppression period.As the contradictions between the Hunan and Huai armies gradually became open,Bao Chao became the victim of this struggle.After the Ting army became the army,Bao Chao trained the army from three aspects of soldiers,generals and tactics,which greatly enhanced the combat effectiveness of the Ting army and was called "Bao demon army" by the enemy.At the same time,Bao Chao by xiao yu pawn prohibit harassment and scare monkey two methods rectify Jun Ji achieved good effect,show the other side of the how,whether "no discipline in xiang army" this seems biased,whether Jun Ji should be a process from bad to good,also can do between "Bing Min xi,coupling no guess".In historical books and legends,Bao Chao is regarded as a martial artist who does not know the ink.Through the analysis of the inscriptions and poems handed down by Bao Chao,the author believes that he has certain literary skills and exaggerates "not knowing literature and ink".Although Bao Chao is not a scholar,he is not regarded by a martial artist.After the fall of the Qing Dynasty,the status of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom movement was continuously elevated,while the status of Bao Chao,which suppressed the movement,declined rapidly.Especially during the period of the Nanjing Nationalist Government and the beginning of the founding of the People’s Republic of China,the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Movement gave support at the national level,coupled with the publicity of folk wild history,novels,dramas and other ways,Bao Chao and others were crowned as "executioner".It was not until after the new century that the evaluation of Bao Chao gradually tended to be objective,but people’s inherent ideas were still difficult to eliminate,and they were more derogatory to him.
