1, Li Guangli (Western Han Dynasty)

Li Guangli, the younger brother of Li Furen, the favorite concubine of Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty, is the uncle of Liu Bo, the mourning king of Changyi. Although they are all consorts, Li Guangli is far behind Huo Qubing and Wei Qing. Wei Qing and Huo Qubing, the commanders of the two consorts, swept through Mobei, and the fierce wolves and Xiongnu on the grassland fled wildly. Probably inspired by General Huo Wei's sweeping thousands of miles, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty seemed to suffer from "consort dependence" in his later years. People believe that only spouses are the best commanders. Li Guangli, also the brother-in-law of Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty, rose step by step in this way. After Wei Qing's death, he took over as a general, but he was faced with a much better situation than Wei Qing: the powerful Xiongnu had already lost its prestige, and the small countries in the western regions had limited strength. With the powerful military strength and national strength of the Han Dynasty, doesn't he mean where to fight?

But the problem is: Li Guangli is really not the material. At this historical moment, Li Guangli, a mediocre man, appeared, and almost lost all the excellent models of the Sino-Hungarian war.

2. Wang (Southern and Northern Dynasties-Song Dynasty)

Xin Qiji, a great poet, once lamented in the Southern Song Dynasty that although the country was broken by mountains and rivers, he said: "Yuan Jia was careless, sealed the wolf and lived in Xu, but he won and retreated quickly." It is the story of the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains in the Southern Song Dynasty. Under the general pattern of north-south division, the Song Dynasty was originally the most promising dynasty to create a miracle of north-south reunification. After the vigorous governance of two emperors, Emperor Wu of Song and Liu Yilong, the Southern Song Dynasty was strong in national strength and the soldiers were stronger than Ma Zhuang, resulting in the best political situation in the Northern and Southern Dynasties: the rule of Yuanjia. While the Northern Xianbei and Northern Wei Dynasties were initially unified, it was the time when their foothold was unstable. The Southern Dynasties originally ushered in the best opportunity for them to unify China. Even those who were in power in the Southern Dynasties looked forward to the great cause of "sealing the wolf to live in Xu". Unfortunately, a wolf named Wang was born, which eventually led to the funny ending of "winning in the north in a panic".

3. Fresh in Zhongtong (Tang Dynasty)

Others feel that it is a bit embarrassing to include Xianyu Zhongtong in the list of the top ten straw bag generals. He is a straw bag, but it is really reluctant to count him as a general. Not because he is not good enough, but because his ability is really limited.

Xianyu Zhongtong, whose real name is Xiang, was born in Yuyang County and registered in the New Deal (southeast of modern Sichuan). Speaking of it, it is not destiny takes a hand that Zhong Tong leads his troops to fight. His family is a rich local in Sichuan. He was diligent in attacking poetry books since he was a child and won the imperial examination. Yu Zhongtong, on the other hand, specializes in reading, but he has never read the art of saving the people and knows nothing about leading troops to fight. However, he learned a lot of flattery skills from the whole book and quickly applied them.

As early as when Yang Guifei's brother Yang was down and out in Sichuan, he was recognized by Zhongtong as a "strange commodity to live in" and often supported him. Later, Yang reached the peak by virtue of her sister Yang Guifei, and was naturally rewarded by all the strength of China General Motors, which made him rise all the way and eventually became the sword of Sichuan's military and political power.

Originally such a thing was incomprehensible. In officialdom, no one has some means of gaining power, but fighting is really no joke. Besides, Yu Zhongtong's character is too abusive. He tried his best to please Yang and extorted money, which made Sichuan people miserable. Appoint brutal officials to oppress neighboring countries such as Nanzhao. As a result, Zhang Xutuo, a cruel official he trusted, raped Princess Nanzhao, completely ruining the decades-long friendly relationship between Nanzhao and the Tang Dynasty, which caused great disaster.

4. Fan Yong (Song Dynasty)

The French emperor Napoleon once famously said, "Don't do what your enemies expect you to do, because your enemies are expecting you to do it." In this sense, for Yuan Hao, the founding monarch of Xixia, Fan Yong, who was in charge of the western defense in the Northern Song Dynasty, must be Yuan Hao's favorite enemy general. In the process of Xixia from weak to strong, Fan Yong listened to Yuan Hao's words and was really more obedient than Yuan Hao's own son. Speaking of it, from the point of view of personality, Fan Yong is a real gentleman. He is an honest official, diligent in political affairs, 100% good cadre image. What's more, he is upright and upright, and dares to adhere to principles in front of the emperor. For example, in the farce of "Heaven closes Zen" in the Northern Song Dynasty, he insisted on the truth and resolutely opposed the emperor's "feudal superstition", which finally saved the country and avoided both human and financial resources.

Moreover, he is also very upright, good at selecting and recommending talents, and has a good reputation in the Northern Song Dynasty. Good character can be attributed to good character, but Fan Yong was a layman in the war. Coupled with the stubborn strength of the literati, they repeatedly used tricks in the Song and Xia wars and eventually ruined their reputation for half their lives. Speaking of it, Fan Yong's failure can only be regarded as the tragedy of the civil service system in the Northern Song Dynasty.

However, Fan Yong, who was not good at leading troops, did an unremarkable good deed while guarding the western front. It was this good thing that almost finally changed the passive war situation of the Northern Song Dynasty against Xixia. When he first arrived in Yanzhou, a soldier violated the military law and was sentenced to death, but Fan Yong made an exception and pardoned him because he thought the soldier was a bloody hero. Many years later, it was this soldier who led the army to repeatedly hit the Xixia fighters on the battlefield and became the most feared god of war in the Song Dynasty. He is the famous Di Qing.

5. Fan (Southern Song Dynasty-Yuan Dynasty)

It is not uncommon for a defeated army to harm a dynasty, but it is rare to harm two Wang Chaocai. General Fan in Song and Yuan Dynasties is such a rare treasure. Yuan Taizu Kublai Khan, who swept the world, never dreamed that this senior general of the Southern Song Dynasty who defected on the line of fire was actually a loser.

As a general in the Southern Song Dynasty, Fan's background is very hard. The old father-in-law is the traitor Jia Sidao who made the Southern Song Dynasty a terrible scourge. As the saying goes, since the Song-Mongolian War, Fan has repeatedly shown his true colors in front of the Mongolian army.

6. Yi Timur (Yuan Dynasty)

Timur was a famous minister at the end of Yuan Dynasty, and his brother Tuotuo was a famous minister at the end of Yuan Dynasty. Speaking of it, these two brothers were rare officials in the ruling class at the end of Yuan Dynasty. During his tenure as prime minister, Tuotuo, his younger brother, purged the political platform, respected Confucianism and Confucius, and compiled the history of the Song Dynasty, which did a lot of good things and ushered in a relatively clear period of politics in the last Yuan Empire. Not bad for my brother Timur. He monitored the empire for a long time, rectified the bureaucracy and cracked down on corrupt officials. Helped my brother a lot. However, the Yuan Empire at that time, in the backlog of ethnic and social contradictions, has long been like an expanding powder keg, which may explode at any time. Finally, because of the Yuan Dynasty's oppression of the river officials, thousands of river workers revolted in Yingzhou, and "a one-eyed stone man provoked the Yellow River to rebel against the world", which ignited a prairie fire in the vigorous peasant war at the end of the Yuan Dynasty.

7. Li Jinglong (Ming Dynasty)

As the saying goes: the door comes out of the tiger's mouth. At the end of Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of Ming Dynasty, Mobei was swept away, and Kaiping was the capital of Yuan Empire. Li Wenzhong, a general of Ming Dynasty who beat Mongolian cavalry and fled to the north, never imagined that he would catch up with the farce of tiger father giving birth to dog. As the son of Li Wenzhong, Li Wenzhong lived in luxury since childhood and read many poems. His condition is much better than that of his grass-roots father Li Wenzhong, but his skill is far inferior to his father's. If it weren't for Li Wenzhong's resemblance, I really doubt that Li Fu was wrongly held by the midwife when she gave birth.

Under the background of political stability and national reunification, Li Wenzhong's cousin Judy, the prince of Yan, rose up in the name of Jingnan, rebelled flagrantly in A.D. 1399, and finally became emperor, setting a precedent for the successful rebellion of local governors under the unified conditions. To tell the truth, such a miracle of succession is mostly attributed to General Li Jinglong.

After Sheng Yong defeated Judy, the battle of Jingnan became a tug-of-war. At loggerheads, Zhu Dibing took an adventurous move, bypassing thousands of miles of Shandong and coming directly to the gates of Nanjing. In fact, this time is not the end of his life. As long as the Ming army held Nanjing until reinforcements arrived, it was still possible to defeat Judy, but Li Jinglong showed his shameless side. He actually colluded with Judy and took the initiative to open the city gate and let the northern army break into the city. At this point, the battle of Jingnan, which lasted for three years, was completely over, and his whereabouts were unknown. Judy ascended the throne of Yongle Emperor. Think about it carefully, it was Li Jinglong who achieved the great achievements of Emperor Yongle with his incompetent command and shameless rebellion. Speaking of Judy's The First Hero in Jingnan, Li Jinglong really deserves it.

8. Yuan Yingtai (Ming Dynasty)

Yuan Yingtai, a big character, is from Fengxiang. To be fair, Yuan Yingtai was one of the few different figures in the dark officialdom politics in the late Ming Dynasty. He is honest and caring for the people. Before he was appointed to guard Liaodong, he managed rivers locally and helped the victims, which won the hearts of the people. Later, when he worked in the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of War, he even called on the people to enforce the law and crack down on corruption. Even when the famous soldier Xiong Tingbi was guarding Liaodong, he was responsible for the military logistics of Liaodong and gave Xiong Tingbi a great help. Generally speaking, this is a rare good official in the officialdom in the late Ming Dynasty. If he is put in the position of managing river construction or local civil servants, he will certainly make great achievements. Unfortunately, fate just pushed him to the tragic post of running in Liaodong.

When Yuan Yingtai arrived, the situation in Liaodong in the Ming Dynasty was not bad. Although Manchu occupied Fushun and other cities, Shenyang and other important fortified cities were still in the hands of the Ming Dynasty. In addition, Xiong Tingbi, his predecessor, managed the army strictly in Liaodong and strengthened the defense, so that the Ming army gradually regained its foothold in Liaodong. Over time, the time for the Ming Dynasty's counterattack will surely be ripe. But Yuan Yingtai's new official took office with three fires, and the monkey was anxious to do something. Everything must be the opposite of Xiong Tingbi. After that, Yuan Yingtai began the process of his repeated tricks. Before the Liaoshen Campaign, he was generally two idiots. First, Xiong Tingbi's rule of the army changed from strict to loose, which led to the deterioration of military discipline and the decline of combat effectiveness. Second, accommodating a large number of Mongolians who hooked up with Manchu in an attempt to "govern the foreign countries with foreign countries" damaged the combat effectiveness of the troops, and Liaoyang and Shenyang, two strong cities, were smashed by Manchu. All this was naturally seen by the ambitious Nurhachi. 16 12 years, the Qing army took the lead, and the Eighth Route Army attacked Shenyang, which opened the prelude to the Liaoshen War.

9. Yang Sichang (Ming Dynasty)

Among the top ten generals, the Ming dynasty occupied three, which is really not what the author hoped. Throughout the whole process of the decline and fall of the late Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty really seldom saw an endless stream of military fools. If Li Jinglong's stupidity proves the old folk adage that "a rich family has many children", then the other two stupidities can only be attributed to the farce of the Ming civil servants and scholars.

Among the fools of the Ming Dynasty, Yang Sichang concentrated many similarities between Yuan Yingtai and Li Jinglong. For example, he was also a noble family, and his father was Yang He, a former college student of the Ming Dynasty, who was similar to Li Jinglong. He is also a talented civil servant with good handwriting and eloquence. This is similar to Yuan Yingtai, but as a fool, he and Linger are better than Lan Qiang, and his stupidity is even worse. His character is corrupt and treacherous, not as good as the other two fools in the Ming Dynasty.

Practically speaking, Yang Sichang is not without advantages. He has a glib tongue and can observe the emperor's intentions in everything, so he is very popular in Chongzhen. Besides, he is an excellent theorist. As for the general plan of pacifying Li Zicheng's occupation of the Central Plains, his tactical conception of "all sides and ten sides" and his diplomatic strategy of "taking care of foreign affairs first" are both good strategies to solve the problems in the late Ming Dynasty. But it is one thing to have a good theory, and it is another to implement it. Yang Sichang belongs to the kind of person who has a bad mouth and poor hands-on ability. If you put him in the post of staff officer, it is estimated that he can still play a great role. It happened that he was sitting in the position of the Minister of National Defense of the Ming Dynasty, so the good strategy turned into a bad strategy until the disaster of the Ming Dynasty was clean.

10, Cezanne (Qing Dynasty)

Cezanne, a native of Zhenglan Banner, Mongolia, was promoted during Jiajing period. He has always been the military minister of the Qing Dynasty and was once the teacher of Emperor Xianfeng of the Qing Dynasty. He is a Mongolian scholar and has read many poems. At the beginning of jintian uprising in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, many senior officials in the Qing Dynasty didn't think it was just a small group of bandits, but Cezanne decided it was a catastrophe and urged that it be wiped out as soon as possible. At this time, Hong Xiuquan claimed to be the King of Heaven in Wuxuan, Guangxi, and formed five armies, which took shape. Cezanne has a good idea. Before the uprising was completed, he killed the signs of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom in the cradle. Emperor Xianfeng also appreciated Cezanne's point of view very much, gave Cezanne a "noble sword" and ordered him to lead a great army south to quell the chaos. However, although Cezanne came from Mongolia, by his generation, he had lost the ability to fight on horseback. When he was appointed, Cezanne was not sure about himself. On the surface, he was full of ambition, but when he left, he held his friend's hand and cried, a little self-aware.

But in any case, Lord Sai managed to catch the duck on the shelf. Unfortunately, his opponent is Yang, a military genius born in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. Cezanne's army left Beijing and stopped all the way. It took two months to get to Guangxi. At this time, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom defeated the Qing army in Guiping and other places, and managed to conquer Yongan House. The Taiping Army was established in Yong 'an, and its political system was initially established. Speaking of it, it is precisely because Cezanne's slow March gave the Taiping Army a space to show its strength, but the situation here is not bad, because the Taiping Army's strength is limited at this time, and it is trapped in the ancient city of Yong 'an, and it is easy to be occupied by the Qing army. It should be said that the situation is still in a critical situation. At this time, Cezanne finally arrived at the front. When he heard that Yong 'an had fallen, Cezanne's first reaction was to retreat. He quickly moved the barracks to Yangshuo, trying to use static braking. In this way, the Taiping army with limited military potential got the best chance to rest, and the Qing army also lost its best fighter to win Yongan and annihilate the Taiping army in one fell swoop.
