Wu Kunxiu (Wu Zhuzhuang, Wu Zihou) was born in Wucheng Town, Yongxiu County, Jiangxi Province (at that time belonged to Xinjian County). As an adult, he was admitted to Jiansheng and donated a small official from Jiupin to Xiangyin, Hunan Province to be a local official. In the 29th year of Daoguang (1949), there was a big flood in Xiangyin. He was ordered to carry out relief and was very diligent. Later, he helped to wipe out the turmoil initiated by Li Yuanfa, and he began to make a name for himself. He was awarded alternate county magistrate and Xiangyin Prefecture.

In July 1852, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom troops attacked Changsha, and Wu Kunxiu was ordered to guard Changsha. Xiao Chaogui, the military commander of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom at that time, was shelled and killed by Changsha Garrison when he attacked the city on July 29. Wu Kunxiu was promoted to county magistrate for his great contribution to guarding the city.

In September 1853, in Hengyang, he met Zeng Guofan (1811-1872), who was the best friend of his life. The reason for their friendship was that Wang Xin didn't understand Hunan dialect, so Wu Kunxiu had to translate it to Zeng Guofan. Since then, they have known each other for 20 years.

Wang Xin is also a general. His weakness is that he likes to boast. He patted Zeng Guofan on the chest. As long as there are 3000 men and horses, 20000 taels of food, 20000 taels of silver, 10000 taels of gunpowder and 10000 taels of sulfur, he can defeat the Taiping army. Zeng Guofan was extremely happy and thought that Wang Xin was the talent he was looking for. He was excited to write to his teacher Wu Wenrong and highly praised Wang Xin.

Zeng Guofan prepared his supplies and ordered Wang Xin and Wu Kunxiu to go to Xiangxiang to recruit 2000 people. After a few days, Wu Kunxiu went back to Hengyang to see Zeng Guofan. He repeatedly talked about Wang Xin's flaunting and harassing the local people. Zeng Guofan repeatedly covered up for Wang Xin. Soon after Wang Xin's defeat, Zeng Guofan regretted that he had not listened to Wu Kunxiu's words. He fell in love with this visionary brave general and trusted him all his life. In November of the same year, Zeng Guofan founded the Navy and appointed Wu Kunxiu to manage ammunition and ordnance.

In 1854, Zeng Guofan led the navy to attack Jiujiang City. On the contrary, he was besieged by the Taiping Army and could not escape. Wu Kunxiu rode alone to the front line, guided the fleet, crossed the lake mouth, jumped out of the enclosure, and came to Poyang Lake and Nanchang waters in Wucheng, Yongxiu, Jiangxi Province. Here Zeng Guofan reorganized his troops and launched a seesaw war with the Taiping army. The next year, Wu Kunxiu led the boat division to defend Ruichang. When his father died, he had to go home to "guard the system". Soon after, Wuchang, an important town of the Yangtze River, was captured by the Taiping army again. Wu Kunxiu had to follow Luo Zenan to help Hubei. He recovered Xianning, Puqi, Chongyang, Tongcheng and led his troops to Wuchang. Wu Kunxiu was promoted many times, and the Emperor gave him Hualing.

The battlefield situation was changeable. In 1856, the Taiping Army marched again in Jiangxi, and most of northern and western Jiangxi were occupied by the Taiping army. Hu Linyi ordered Wu Kunxiu to lead the newly recruited "Biaozi battalion" of 4000 people to join the Hunan army to rescue Jiangxi from Hubei, which greatly encouraged Zeng Guofan's troops in Nanchang and Ruichang.

Wu Kunxiu successively won Xinchang, Shanggao, Anyi, Jing'an and other places. He is fierce and brave. At that time, the troops in Jiangxi were short of food and pay. Wu Kunxiu donated all his family property and sold iron by smashing the pot. He also advised the rich people in Wucheng to give money to the rice relief troops one after another, and raised 40000 taels of silver to escort them to Nanchang, where he collected the scattered soldiers from Pingjiang to enrich the troops.

In 1857, he led the army to conquer Fengxin, was promoted again, and was appointed as Guangdong Nanshao Daotai. Instead of going to Guangdong, he continued to attack Ruichang and soon conquered Ruichang. He led his troops into Fuzhou and attacked Dongxiang County. However, Wu Kunxiu suffered his only defeat in his life because he despised the enemy. His troops retreated and he was dismissed. Since then, he has not participated in major military operations for nearly two years.

In January 1859, Li Hongzhang and Zeng Guobao came to Wucheng area of Jianchang (Yongxiu) to see Zeng Guofan. On the recommendation of Zeng Guofan, Qi Ling, governor of Jiangxi, appointed Wu Kunxiu to supervise the Youth League training in Fuzhou, Jianchang (now Yongxiu) and Fenning. Wu Kunxiu was an excellent organizer. On this basis, he immediately built a new regiment defense camp, stationed in Fuzhou and Guixi, and was ordered to move to Dexing to rescue Huizhou. He went to hukou to fight with the Taiping army.

In 1861, he captured Jiande county. He was granted a rare holiday. Garrison Jiande, the army to his brother guerrilla general Wu Xiukai (1985 version of "Yongxiu county annals" mistaken for Wu xiukao) presided over. As the Taiping army attacked Huizhou and soon the city broke down, Wu Xiukai met the Taiping Army and died bravely in the fierce battle.

Wu Kunxiu went to Jiande and, together with Zhong Xiu (1808-1879, later Anhui local Daotai), transferred his troops back to Jiangxi to guard Hukou according to Zeng Guofan's instructions.

Yuke, governor of Jiangxi Province, sent a letter to him asking him to rescue Jianchang County (Yongxiu). Wu Kunxiu led the army to solve the siege of Jianchang.

The Taiping army came out of Jinxi and Dongxiang. Wu Kunxiu led the Fuzhou army to meet the enemy and annihilate the Taiping Army in dengjiabu, Yujiang County. They also suppressed the Taiping Army in Guixi, Anren, Dexing and Wannian. In December 1861, Zeng Guofan's Qimen camp was trapped twice, which was in great danger. In order to cooperate with Zeng Guofan, Zuo Zongtang, Hu Linyi and Li Xuyi's troops and prevent the Taiping army from passing through Jingdezhen and attacking Qimen camp, Wu Kunxiu quickly marched into Shangrao to help Jingdezhen and blocked the road of Taiping Army's going north. After that, he played the magic stroke of his life and fought with the Taiping army all the way. The Taiping army went straight from Jiande to Jiangxi. Wu Kunxiu led his troops to Hukou earlier than Lin Qirong's troops and kept the important town of hukou. Zeng Guofan was very appreciative. Wu Kunxiu was awarded the title of salt envoy by the imperial court. On the battlefield of Jiangxi Province, the Taiping army retreated steadily and was soon basically eliminated.

So Wu Kunxiu led his troops to fight in Anhui. In 1862, Li Xiucheng rescued Nanjing Jiangning from Suzhou and divided his troops to attack Wuhu. Wu Kunxiu, together with other troops, repulsed Li Xiucheng and took advantage of the victory to continue to recover jinbaowei, Gaochun, Lishui, Liyang and Dongba. He demobilized tens of thousands of Taiping troops who had surrendered one after another and won the hearts of the people. In 1863, he was appointed to the rank of Anhui chief envoy (executive vice governor). The following year, Nanjing, the capital of the Taiping army, was captured and Hong Xiuquan died. Youtianwang and Hong Rengan fled to Jiangxi Province and chased them from northern Jiangxi to Shicheng in southern Jiangxi Province. They were captured and handed over by the people and executed in Nanchang.

Two years later, Wu Kunxiu served as "huiningchi Taiguang" Daotai and Anhui envoy. In 1865, he acted as Anhui envoy. From the end of 1866 to march of 1868, Wu Kunxiu acted as governor of Anhui Province. After that, he asked for leave to return to his hometown to make up for his parents' funeral leave. During the year he returned home, Wu Kunxiu repaired his house, built pavilions, repaired Wanghu Pavilion and hongxuexuan, and reunited with Zeng Guofan and others.

In 1870, he returned home
