		The other dimension worthy of notice in the military campaigns, was that Zeng Guofan, although discouraged, did not admit ultimate defeat, and he ultimately was able to outmaneuver the Taipings, who were a formidable and energetic enemy.

		Zeng was an Hunanese scholar-general who fought with the government forces during the Taiping rebellion (1851-1864).
		Further deaths including that of Zeng Guofan in 1872 and Wenxiang in 1876 left much of the impetus for self-strengthening with Li Hongzhang, and much of his progress depended on his influence with the Empress Dowager Cixi.
