People who lose their hearts lose the world? This sentence is truth. Although many people get the world by force, they treat people rudely, extort money from them and treat them like slaves, so they will soon lose the world. Those unified dynasties complied with the people's hearts in the early stage, but in the end they did not take the people's interests seriously. Officials are corrupt, evil forces are prevalent, taxes are exorbitant and miscellaneous taxes are levied, and people's hearts are gradually losing. Finally, the peasant uprising broke out and the people rose up and overthrew him.
Those who win the world do not necessarily win the hearts of the people, but rely on force.
Does Qin Shihuang's destruction of the six countries not conform to the six eastern countries? He won the hearts of the people by relying on the military strength of Qin State. At that time, the people of the six countries had not seen reunification, and the six countries had existed for hundreds of years and penetrated into the hearts of their own people. The common people don't know what reunification is, they just want to live in their own country. Qin Jun Changping pit pawn, flooded girders, Ying capital destroyed the city, isn't it? The will of the people, but the unification of the world can be the Qin State.
Liu Bang defeated Xiang Yu, not because Xiang Yu lost the popular support, but because Xiang Yu lost in form and potential, which had nothing to do with the popular support. The people at that time just wanted to end the war and go home to live. At that time, the people were very ignorant and didn't know who had popular support. Jin destroyed the Northern Song Dynasty and Mongolia destroyed the Southern Song Dynasty, which were unexpected by the people of the Central Plains. How could it be expected by the people? However, they are invincible because they are armed with steel knives and the imperial army can't beat others. The same is true when the Qing Dynasty entered the customs. Without the Eight Banners, it is useless for him to win the hearts of the people.
The human heart is a function word, an invisible thing. Unlike ordinary people today, ordinary people in the past had knowledge, culture, broad vision and discernment. At that time, ordinary people had no right to study, no right to receive education, and no ability to distinguish affairs at all. The rulers say what is what, so they don't know what the people's hearts are. Only I know who gave me food and I followed them. This is why so many people confuse farmers with religious superstitions, such as Zhang Jiao's Pentecostalism and Hong Xiuquan's worship of God.
The fact is that people who lose their hearts also lose the world.
If you lose people's hearts, you must lose the world? This sentence is very straight. If you seize the world by force, but don't implement policies that are in line with the people's interests and only enslave the people, then you will lose the hearts of the people, and the people will rise up against you and eventually overthrow you. This is the reason why Emperor Qin and Emperor Chao II died. After Qin Shihuang's reunification, he only knew how to rule the people with harsh Qin laws, abused the people's power with Emperor Yang, and treated the people as ants, so the people rose up to overthrow him.
After the demise of the Tang Dynasty, Zhu Wen and other warlords won the world one by one by strengthening Mazhuang, but they soon lost the world. Why? A fundamental reason is that the policy of benefiting the people has not been implemented and has not received the unwavering support of the people. So when another warlord attacked, he could not get the people's unity and resistance, so he soon lost the world.
The Republic of China is also an example. Shortly after the founding of the People's Republic of China, only one revolution of 1911 overthrew the Qing government and established the Republic of China. But then I didn't do anything that was in line with the people's hearts, Sun Yat-sen's? Three People's Principles? The program was just a program, and it didn't teach revolutionaries what to do after winning the world, so the government of the Republic of China was in chaos later. We accuse Yuan Shikai, a northern warlord, of stealing the fruits of revolution. In essence, Sun China's Kuomintang did not put forward how to carry out the revolution, nor did it put forward how to establish the political power that the people hoped after the victory of the revolution. Therefore, the people's life was worse than that of the Qing Dynasty, and was eventually overthrown by the people.
Similarly, the unified dynasty of Han, Tang, Song and Ming, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, was able to conform to the people's hearts and implement more policies to benefit the people, so it quickly won the support of the people, gained a firm foothold, ushered in a prosperous time and gained a long life. In the later period, the rulers only knew how to squeeze the people's power, vested interest groups stuck to their own interests, the officialdom was extremely corrupt, the people lived in dire straits and gradually lost their hearts, so the peasant uprising broke out.
The premise of Manchu's entry into the customs was the collapse of the Ming Dynasty, which was overthrown by the peasant uprising because of its loss of popular support.
The most fundamental reason for the demise of the Ming Dynasty was the corruption, which did not solve the problem of land concentration that people were concerned about, so that people had no food to eat, thus losing the hearts of the people, which triggered the peasant uprising of Li Zicheng and Zhang and overthrew it. When the Qing army entered the customs, the land of China was in chaos. However, Li Zicheng, Zhang and Nan Ming, the small imperial courts, were unable to give up their differences and unite against the Qing Dynasty. Instead, they continued to kill each other and continue to practice the policy of oppressing the people, so they were all defeated by the Qing army.
Although the Qing army was unpopular when it entered the customs, it was able to adjust its policies in time to meet the needs of the people, give them a stable living environment, reduce most of the exorbitant taxes and levies in the late Ming Dynasty, distribute a large amount of land that fled to landlords to the people, and solve the problem of landless peasants. Therefore, it gradually won the hearts of the people during the Kangxi period.
At this time, Wu Sangui's San Francisco Uprising against the Qing Dynasty was very unpopular, because after a long period of war, the people longed for a stable life and didn't want to fight again, and Wu Sangui rekindled the war, which made the southern people fall into war again, so Wu Sangui could not get the sincere support of the people and soon perished.
