The hero who pacified the world, but because of what gossip, was ruined?

According to legend, in the Qing Dynasty, a foundry abducted children, dug up medicinal materials and sent Zeng Guofan to deal with them. Later, Zeng Guofan discovered that this was a rumor, but at that time, Zeng Guofan chose to suppress the people, which led to his discredit. Zeng Guofan was originally a hero who pacified the world. When he was old, he received a letter to go to Tianjin to handle the case of the nursery, which involved the Qing Dynasty and western powers. Therefore, Zeng Guofan was difficult to deal with and eventually lost his reputation.

It is said that there was a nursery in the Qing dynasty, which cooperated with traffickers to kidnap and sell children and dig out their hearts to make drugs. Later, it was rumored that the nursery was instigated by the French, and people fell into infinite panic. Later, people spontaneously teamed up to kill several French people and killed several people in the nursery. There are so many lives involved, and several of them belong to the French embassy. Therefore, this matter is very difficult.

Zeng Guofan soon discovered after he arrived at the nursery that the legendary heart-digging medicine was actually a rumor. Nursery is originally a place to receive orphans, and some rewards will be given to those who send orphans to nursery. Traffickers found business opportunities, so they abducted children and sent them to nurseries. At that time, many orphans were abandoned because of illness, so many babies died in nurseries.

Although the investigation was clear, Zeng Guofan had to face the pressure from both the people and France. In the end, he chose to punish the troublemakers and the local government. Finally, the Qing Dynasty also lost tens of thousands of French silver. Zeng Guofan also offended the Qing court, the imperialist powers and the local people. Since then, Zeng Guofan's good reputation for many years has been destroyed.
