Zeng Guofan himself praised Runzhi (Hu Linyi) for being ten times better than Hou Qiang. Zeng Guofan also said that Hu Linyi's contribution was to change the atmosphere into the first place and destroy the territory for two thousand miles. In his later years, Li Hongzhang talked with people about the past. His former teacher and his predecessor (Hu Linyi) often talked about it. In the Preface to Hu Wenzhong's Quotations, people in the Tang Dynasty paid two appropriate praises to Hu Linyi: the quantity of this, the quantity of rivers and seas; This is the center of rivers and oceans. "Draft of Qing History" also spoke highly of Hu Linyi's outstanding talent of knowing, loving and using talents, saying that he would be honest, have materials and be more famous. ...
Hu Linyi was little known in later generations, mainly because he died young and his talents were not fully displayed. Among the three ministers of ZTE, Zeng Guofan lived to be 665,438+0 years old, Zuo died at the age of 73, and Hu Linyi only lived to be 49 years old. At that time, public opinion generally believed that if Hu Linyi did not die, his achievements would not be below Zeng Guofan's.
We all know that the word * * * is runzhi (cheese). But little known is that the word * * * comes from Hu Linyi (Hu Linyi, whose real name is Runzhi). * * * 1945 During the negotiation in Chongqing, I talked with Zhang Henshui, a writer who was then editor of Xinmin Daily Supplement: I used to use the name Runzhi, which was chosen by Mr. Yang Huaizhong when he was in Hunan First Normal University. On one occasion, I signed a letter to Mr. Yang' Mao Ren Xue', and Mr. Yang asked me why? I said learn from Liang Rengong (Liang Qichao). Mr. Yang gave me a copy of The Complete Works of Hu Wenzhong to read. After repeated reading, I admire Hu in Xiangfu in Qing Dynasty and think Hu is really worth learning. I changed the word "Runzhi" to "Xuerun". Mr. Yang said to me,' Sima Changqing changed his name after Lin Xiangru. Since you respect Hu Runzhi, you might as well change it to Runzhi. Teachers and friends will call me Runzhi from now on.
Hu Linyi was born in a scholarly family with considerable wealth. When I was young, I was bohemian, often having sex with women, and I was arrogant. His father, Hu Da Yuan, was deeply worried and forced him to study the books of sages. My father is often angry about it. Helpless, Hu Dayuan had to send the villain to his friend and governor of Liangjiang, Tao Shu, so that he could have a good look at martial arts. Unexpectedly, when Hu Linyi arrived in Jiangning (Nanjing), he didn't converge at all and still went his own way. Tao Shu, governor of Liangjiang River, forbade his family to indulge in debauchery, but showed leniency to Hu Linyi and resolutely betrothed his daughter to him. No matter how much Mrs. Tao objects, it will not help. At that time, when Hu Linyi was addicted to mountains and rivers in Nanjing and wandering around Qinhuai River and fishing lanes, someone secretly told Tao Shu. Unexpectedly, Tao Shu said, "I will be ten times more diligent tomorrow than I am now, and then I won't have time to enjoy myself." . (Huang F: Memories of Flowers and People, Shanghai Bookstore Press, 1998, p. 434)
More interestingly, on their wedding night, no one could find the shadow of the groom, Hu Linyi. It turned out that he went out to drink alone and got drunk. This time, Mrs. Tao was even more furious, complaining that Uncle Tao had misjudged someone and chose such an asshole son-in-law and missed her daughter's life. Tao Shu replied: This son is a tool of Hu Lian and will be a great event in the future. He is young and indulgent, and his responsibility is not deep. He doesn't play now, and he doesn't have time to play when the country uses materials.
On one occasion, his father-in-law, Governor of Liangjiang, Tao Shu invited local celebrities to dinner, during which he talked with Kan Kan. Whoever argues with him will be laughed at or even ridiculed. As a result, my father-in-law scolded me for duckweed ears. Then I turned back to the prodigal son and studied hard. Later, when he became a scholar, Hu Linyi began to study hard. In the second year, he passed the high school after having obtained the provincial examination. In the third year, he even ordered an academician from Zhong Jie Jinshi, when he was only 25 years old.
After becoming an academician, Hu Linyi still lingered in Goulanwa Temple. There is an interesting story in The Story of the Holy Temple of Flowers: After Hu Linyi ordered the Hanlin, he often went in and out of Liuxiang Street with his fellow countryman Zhou Shouchang. One night, Fang and Zhou Shouchang went to a prostitute's house and the pawn was hidden. Zhou Shouchang was alert, avoided the kitchen, and stood easily, so he was free from being held hostage, while Hu Linyi and others were arrested for questioning, which was quite humiliating for fear of revealing their identity. I broke up with Zhou when I was released, saying that I was abandoned in the face of difficulties, not friends. Later, Hu Linyi was brave in running the army and didn't like to use good people.
What really made Hu Linyi realize and repent was the trial case in Jiangnan Township four years later. That year, Wen Qing served as an examiner, and he served as a deputy examiner, presiding over Jiangnan after having obtained an examination together. Unexpectedly, they were accused of illegally showing others the papers. As a result, Wen Qing moved to Xinjiang, and Hu Linyi was demoted to the left and transferred to the Cabinet Secretariat. This incident dealt a great blow to Hu Linyi's father, Hu Dayuan, who died of depression the next year. Hu Linyi deeply regrets it. The death of his father also made him feel that the heavy responsibility of his family would fall on him alone. In Ding's troubles, he learned from a painful experience and made up his mind not to waste his time like in the past.
Hu Linyi showed extraordinary insight as soon as he took the shot. Knowing that there was no hope of promotion step by step, he borrowed 15200 from his relatives and friends to donate the title of county magistrate, and was soon assigned to Anshun County, Guizhou Province. At that time, bandits were rampant in Anshun, and most people regarded it as a dangerous road and did not want to go. But Hu Linyi could have chosen to work elsewhere, because he donated a lot of money, but he resolutely went.
Guizhou is the place where Hu Linyi made his fortune. "The Record of the Qing Dynasty" said that bandits often gather in various parts of Guizhou, with hundreds of people as a group, gathering and dispersing indefinitely, robbing and resisting arrest. Hu Linyi studied military affairs when he was young, which just came in handy. He went deep into the people and expanded his visit to the gentry class; Short-sleeved sandals, visiting bandit holes; Training militia, then known as soldiers. He dealt with bandits in Guizhou for six or seven years, led the officers and men to fight bandits hundreds of times, suppressed the Miao uprising in Tianzhu and other places and the Li Yuanfa uprising in Hunan, and then summed up the war experience and compiled Hu's Art of War. Hu's The Art of War not only talks about soldiers, but also talks about how to cultivate people's spiritual character, how to carry out moral cultivation, how to treat people and how to cultivate people. During his first three years as a magistrate in Guizhou, Hu Linyi was promoted to the third level because of his meritorious service in fighting bandits and protecting the people.
