Another force is Liu Bang, who has never learned anything since he was a child, is idle, plays more games than less, has vulgar language and has no kingly demeanor at all. However, after Xiang Yu's success in the first battle, he wantonly slaughtered the governors and killed Chu Huaiwang, the commander-in-chief of various rebel armies. Suffering the people, they even killed 400 thousand chi soldiers who surrendered.
Turn a deaf ear to the counselor's advice and go its own way. On the contrary, Liu Bang lived with civilians since childhood, cherishing financial resources and being generous to others. He knows that he has no skill, so he respects talents. He accepted surrendered soldiers who were willing to stay, and sent them back to their hometown if they were unwilling, which was very popular.
Finally, Xiang Yu rebelled because of cruelty, and Liu Bang got a lot of help and support. In the five-year war, although Liu Bang failed many times, he still got the support of the masses, so he was able to keep fighting back.
But after Xiang Yu was defeated by Liu Bang, he abandoned his relatives and all the troops left him overnight. Finally, he was completely defeated by Liu Bang and forced to commit suicide. Liu Bang, who was deeply loved by people all over the country, finally ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, thus creating the Han Dynasty which ruled China for 4 12 years.
2. During the Three Kingdoms period, the central and southern areas belonging to the Shu-Han regime, including today's Yunnan, Guizhou and southwestern Sichuan, were called "foreign lands" in ancient times. As a result of the "troubles" of the rulers of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the people of all ethnic groups in South China and Central China rebelled, and the cruel repression made the people rebel on a larger scale.
However, some minority slave owners and Han landlords always look for opportunities to intensify contradictions, so as to achieve their goal of separatist regime of White Bear. Many people were tricked into joining the rebels because of the rumors and propaganda of the upper-class members Yong Min and Meng Huo, and the rebellion spread almost all over South China.
March 225 ad. After nearly two years of "closed doors" and arranging all aspects of internal affairs and diplomacy, Zhuge Liang felt that the time was ripe to send troops to quell the rebellion in South China, so he personally led the army south to counter the rebellion. Zhuge Liang adopted the strategy of "attacking the heart first, attacking the city next, taking the heart first and taking the soldiers next" to quell the rebellion in the south.
Zhuge Liang killed the rebel leader Yong Min and Zhu Bao, and wiped out Gao Ding's department. After crossing the Lushui River in May, he went deep into the barren land and began to conquer Meng Huo. Meng Huo accepted the rest Yongmin and others and continued to confront the Shu army. As the leader of ethnic minorities, Meng Huo was "conquered by foreigners and Han people" in the south of China, and he was a very influential and prestigious local figure.
Zhuge Liang decided to subdue Meng Huo, and then made him sincerely submit to the Shu-Han regime, which had an impact on the ethnic minorities in southwest China and stabilized the situation in South China for a long time. When the Shu-Han army arrived, Meng Huo called three cave commanders to discuss, and then sent three cave commanders to lead 50,000 troops each, divided into three roads: left, middle and right.
Zhuge Liang goaded two old generals, Zhao Yun and Wei Yan, into the enemy camp, defeated the barbarians and beheaded the enemy marshal in the middle. The two enemy marshals on the left were captured by the ambush Shu army when they fled from the mountain road. Zhuge Liang ordered people to untie the ropes of the two cave owners, give them food, drink and clothes, and let them go home separately.
Meng Huo was furious when he heard the news of defeat, so he led the troops to war. Zhuge Liang tricked Wang Ping into luring Meng into an ambush. When Meng Huo saw that the Shu army was flying with flags and the ranks were in a mess, he was born with the intention of underestimating the enemy and chased Wang Ping. While they were chasing each other, Shu Jiang and Zhang Yi came out and stopped the way.
Wang Ping led the troops back to the defense, while Zhao Yun and Wei Yan attacked from both sides. Meng Huo could not resist and was captured alive by Wei Yan. Zhuge Liang had the captured barbarians untied and comforted them, saying, "You are all good people, but unfortunately you were bewitched by Meng Huo. I'm scared today. I think your family must be leaning against the door. I will let you all go back today and let your families rest assured. "
The savage soldier was deeply grateful and went home to thank him in tears. Zhuge Liang did not kill or humiliate Meng Huo, but only entertained him to watch the camp and lineup of the Shu army. Meng Huo was unconvinced, claiming that he was ambushed because the reality was unknown, and that he would win if he fought again. Zhuge Liang smiled and told him to go back, so that he could reorganize his army and fight again. As a result, Meng Huo was defeated and arrested again.
But he was still unconvinced, and Zhuge Liang put him back. In this way, a catch a release, * * * seven times before and after. When Meng Huo was arrested for the seventh time, Zhuge Liang smiled and said to let him go back. At this time, Meng Huo finally said confidently: "Gong, Tianwei, Nanren is gone forever."
3. In the Spring and Autumn Period, Qi Huangong was the first warlord to dominate, and Guan Zhong was the master who propped up this generation's hegemony. Besides knowing others, we should make good use of them, otherwise we can't achieve great things. Qi Huangong can entrust Guan Zhong with the great cause of the founding of the People's Republic of China, which can be said to be a monarch who knows people and is good at their duties. When Qi Huangong became a relative of Guan Zhong, his influence was minimal, which was also determined by his own talents.
Qi Huangong's virtue is that he can entrust Guan Zhong with the task of governing the country. From Guan Zhong's standpoint, Qi Huangong really needs his hard work to change from a mediocre king to a world hegemon. He once tried to enlighten Huan Gong, making him have the demeanor and ability of a bully.
This kind of monarch education is often an indispensable ability to look good. Although Guan Zhong was appointed as an official, he was still unpopular. In order to put the National Government on the right track and win the support of the people of the whole country, we did our best to win the favor of Qi Huangong and the trust of all. Shortly after Guan Zhong took office, one day, Huan Gong talked to him and asked him, "How is the national politics now?"
Guan Zhong replied: "I was born in poverty, and there is no way to make the aristocratic family listen to me." Hearing this, Huan Gong immediately named him "Shangqing". After a period of time, the national government remained the same, and Huan Gong called Guan Zhong again and asked, "I made you a prime minister, but the country still hasn't developed. What is the reason? " Guan Zhong replied: "I don't even have a foothold. How can I open a rich man's house?"
So, Huan Gong gave him a year's national tax revenue. After a period of time, the national government still did not improve. Huan Gong was in a hurry and asked Guan Zhong, "How many times have I done what you want? The national government is still the same. What is this? " Guan Zhong replied, "You haven't completely trusted me, and I can't control the people around you."
Hearing this, Duke Huan added the word "father" to his name, asking all China people to call him Guan Zhong, not Yi Wu. Tell Guan Zhong in advance, and then get to know the monarch. After Guan Zhong got his identity, property and title, he had no worries, and immediately vigorously promoted the national government, which greatly increased the national strength of Qi. At the same time, he skillfully used various opportunities to educate Huan Gong.
Once, Huan Gong went hunting and chased a deer, and unconsciously went deep into a barren mountain. A ravine suddenly appeared before my eyes, and an old man stood in front of it. Duke Huan stepped forward and asked, "What's the name of this ravine?" "Valley of Fools" The old man replied respectfully. Duke Huan thought the name was strange, so he asked the reason: "The elder looks smart, how can he be a fool?"
"I once had a cow. After it gave birth to a calf, I sold the calf and bought a horse. At this time, I met a little man. He thought that a cow would never give birth to a pony. Willy-nilly, he took my pony away. My neighbor called me a fool when he learned about it. I often come to this valley, so I call it the valley of fools. "
Huan Gong was surprised and thought, "It's silly to let people take it away after buying a horse." So the next day I told Guan Zhong about it. Unexpectedly, Guan Zhong immediately adjusted his clothes, bowed respectfully, and then said, "This is my fault. When Yao was the son of heaven, he was famous for helping others. At that time, no one would rob the old man's pony
Even if there is such a rogue, as long as politics can get on the right track, this phenomenon will not appear. The old man knew that our country was politically corrupt and had no honest officials, so he had to endure the ridicule of his neighbors. We must reform state affairs at once, otherwise we can't convince the people. "Through this matter, Guan Zhong took the opportunity to teach Huan Gong a lesson and let Huan Gong understand what he should do for you.
After a while, Huan Gong complained to Guan Zhong: "Our country is not vast, and resources are scarce. Many courtiers live in luxury. I really want to eradicate the flashy style of courtiers. What do you think? " Guan Zhong replied: "It is rare for a monarch to think of it. As far as I know, my clothes, food and car dealers are all modeled after the king.
Now it is inevitable for the king to eat a good meal and wear silk. If the king wants to eradicate the extravagance of his deputies, he must set an example. "Later, Huan Gong changed into a simple royal suit and listened to the failure of state affairs. In less than a year, the atmosphere of Qi changed greatly, and the extravagant wind disappeared.
One day, Qi Huangong called Guan Zhong to his side and asked, "What mistakes did those monarchs make that even the country died?" Guan Zhong replied: "Those perishing monarchs only enriched their own treasures and plundered the people's property. They conquered everywhere in an attempt to seize other people's territory, and they simply didn't know how to win the support of other princes." It will only increase taxes continuously, and I don't know how to win the hearts of the people.
They are always eager to get support from others afterwards, but they are unwilling to admit their mistakes. They only blame others. These are their three shortcomings. If you commit one of them, you will lose your territory; if you commit all of them, you will surely die.
Actually speaking, they don't want the country to die in their own hands, just because they don't know how to be a monarch, and they unconsciously fall into a quagmire and are hard to extricate themselves. "
Guan Zhong often looks for opportunities to educate the monarch, and Qi Huangong can accept it with an open mind and practice hard. Duke Huan has always trusted Guan Zhong. Huan Gong really needs considerable self-denial to study with such an open mind. It is because Huan Gong has such a big mind that he can finally become the overlord.
At the end of Ming Dynasty, the court was corrupt and the people were poor. Li Zicheng, the conqueror, led a peasant uprising in Mizhi, Shaanxi Province, crossed the Yellow River and overthrew the Ming Dynasty. It was early winter, and the Yellow River water had not yet frozen, but only when the river was frozen into a solid ice army could it pass smoothly. What shall we do? Chu Zhuangwang worried day and night, and his beard and hair turned white overnight.
The next morning, two men came to report: "The Yellow River has been frozen." King Zhuang was overjoyed and quickly ordered the three armies to cross the river quickly. When I got to the river, I saw that the river was still flowing happily and there was no ice at all. However, there is a wide pontoon bridge connected by boat, which is safe and stable, just suitable for the army to cross the river.
King Zhuang was puzzled and was about to dismount and inspect. Suddenly, two men climbed up from the river and punched Chu Zhuangwang. A clear voice said, "Your Majesty, we are boatmen of the Yellow River." . I heard that you want to cross the river for the benefit of the people, so you spent the whole night building this pontoon bridge and invited the army to go on the road. "
Chu Zhuangwang was moved to tears: "I will live up to the people's love and let everyone live a good life!" "Say, immediately drove across the bridge, led the troops to the east. ?
5. Tang, also known as Taiyi in Oracle Bone Inscriptions, is the leader of a tribal businessman in the lower reaches of the Yellow River. More than 400 years after Xia Dynasty, Xia Jie ascended the throne in the 6th century BC/KLOC-0, but Xia Jie was very cruel, oppressing the people, building palaces on a large scale, and living a dissolute and extravagant life.
Determined to destroy the summer, Cheng Tang successively destroyed several nearby tribes and secretly expanded his power. Tang's influence expanded, but it didn't attract much attention. Among Cheng Tang's wife's dowry slaves, there was a man named Yi Yin. Don found that Yi Yin was different from other slaves. After talking with him, Tang realized that Yi Yin came to Tang dressed as a dowry slave.
Yi Yin talked a lot about governing the country with Tang, and Tang asked Yi Yin to be his assistant. At Yi Yin's suggestion, Cheng Tang suddenly stopped paying tribute to Xia Jie to test Xia Jie's reaction. Sure enough, Xia Jie was furious and ordered Jiuyi Mountain to send troops to attack Shang Tang. Yi Yin saw, Iraqis also listened to Xia Jie's command, and quickly asked Shang Tang to confess to Xia Jie and resume paying tribute.
A year later, most Yi tribes could not stand the oppression of Xia Jie and betrayed the Xia Dynasty. Yi Yin saw the time was ripe and decided to attack the Xia Dynasty on a large scale. In BC 1600, Shang Tang made a pledging mobilization. He recounted Xia Jie's crimes, which showed that he was doing justice for heaven, and called on all ministries to fight bravely to destroy the dark rule of Xia Jie.
He said: "I dare not resist. It was Xia Jie who did all kinds of bad things. God wants me to destroy him. I dare not disobey my destiny. " Enemy at the Gates, Xia Jie can no longer attend to pleasure, he hurriedly called the army, set up a series of defense lines, trying to stop Shang Tang's attack.
However, due to Xia Jie's long-term extravagance, oppression of the people, unpopular, demoralized, unable to effectively resist. Xia Jie had to take his troops back to Mingtiao (now north of Anyi Town, Yuncheng City, Shanxi Province) for a big battle, and Xia Jie's army was defeated. After the war of Mingtiao, he fled to Nanchao (now southwest of Anhui Province), was stopped by Tang, and was exiled to Nanchao until his death.
