What kind of person is Luo? What are Luo's stories?
Luo was an important general of Xiang Army in the late Qing Dynasty, with the same fame as Zeng Guofan and Li Hongzhang, and was also called the eight famous ministers in the late Qing Dynasty with Zeng Guofan, Zuo and Li Hongzhang. During his time as an official, he suppressed the uprising many times, managed the army to quell the chaos, and made outstanding achievements, ranking in the frontier.
Luo is an honest official. During the Daoguang period, Daoguang inspected the treasury of the official department. Immediately after he took office, he began to thoroughly investigate, be impartial and find out the bad rules. It is because of him that many officials in the official department dare not bend the law again and change the atmosphere of the official department.
The officials he suppressed wanted to get rid of him, so they found his loophole and reported it. At that time, I didn't know who came to investigate Zhang Mu. After investigation, he found that Luo was meticulous and rigorous, so he admired him more and more. Allen said to Luo, your strictness in checking the library is unprecedented. I must let you stay here for another three years, which will greatly benefit the national treasury. Daoguang also summoned him and said: You have done a good job in the search in the library this year, and everyone knows it, not just me. Now that you have this case, your name will be more famous. I don't know your name without this case. You study hard, be an official seriously, and do good things for your country in the future. It can be seen that Luo Qing's honest and clean official style is valued by his superiors.
Luo is a visionary. The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom movement in the late Qing Dynasty was in full swing and the situation was very critical. When the Taiping Army was about to attack Changsha, Luo, the former governor of Hunan Province, was transferred by the people, and Luo stayed because he had to wait until the situation stabilized. At that time, almost all the battlements in Changsha were destroyed, and Luo participated in the construction of the city wall many times. He urged the workers to work day and night, and finally finished the project before the Taiping Army attacked. When the Taiping Army called, all the reinforcements of the Qing army didn't arrive. There are only 8,000 soldiers in the city, and there are no generals with combat experience. If the city wall is not modified, it will simply send a head to the Taiping Army. Luo's decision ensured the safety of Changsha.
In addition, at that time, the forces of the Eight Banners of the Qing army were exhausted, and the situation of the Taiping Army was critical. Zeng Guopan and others asked for partial response. Luo strongly supported it at that time and provided convenience for this trip many times during his term of office. The establishment of the Xiang army and the future strength of this army should belong to Luo.
Luo was honest, fair and rigorous, and made many contributions to the Qing Dynasty. Such a seemingly perfect official actually left a trace of stigma.
In the second year of Tongzhi, Shi Dakai divided into three roads and attacked Sichuan from the Yunnan-Guizhou border, preparing to cross the Dadu River and take Chengdu directly. However, Luo was prepared, and a network of foreign soldiers from Sichuan, Hunan and Tusi was scattered on both sides of the Dadu River. Shi Dakai rowed across the river, and when he was halfway there, Shi Dakai immediately ordered a gun attack on Taiping rebels, and Shi Dakai survived. Then he sent military forces to take Maanshan and cut off the food and grass of Taiping Army. More than half of the soldiers were killed, and food and grass became a problem. In the danger of death, Shi Dakai wrote to seek peace and surrender, hoping to exchange personal life and death for the safety of his men.
After receiving Shi Dakai's peace letter, Luo seized the opportunity and sent someone to persuade Shi Dakai to surrender. Desperate, Shi Dakai signed a covenant with Romania. I didn't know Luo was treacherous, so I arrested Shi Dakai and sent him to Chengdu, where he was sentenced. More than 4,000 people from various ministries surrendered by Shi Dakai were dismissed by road tickets, and 2,000 people were directly concentrated in one place and wiped out overnight.
"The Draft of Qing History" recorded him: Luo Xiurong was kind to others. Hu Linyi comprehensive nuclear name, dry economic crown. In terms of leniency, strictness and secrecy, if they don't match, they all rely on long time to drive away, driving a group of talents and making great achievements with their abilities. People who went all the way to plan the overall military situation. Without one person, Zeng Guofan and Zuo lost their support and dependence, which is successful and difficult. Thinking of ZTE's career, isn't the relationship between the two great?
Emperor Xianfeng praised him: mature, ambitious and diligent. Emperor Tongzhi: mature, ambitious and organized. Luo captured Luo and executed him, which was highly appreciated by the Qing Dynasty, but his treachery was indelible.
