Chapter 25: The Invincible of the Kind
Have you ever fantasized about overthrowing a dynasty with your own hands?
I didn't think about it, and neither did Liu Bang in my early years.
Before the age of forty-eight, he was a prodigal son, and his appearance was arranged by God and his own efforts, and history gave him this opportunity. At that time, there were many people who had this opportunity, such as Chen Sheng, Xiang Liang, and Xiang Yu, but this opportunity was finally caught by Liu Bang.
Later, there was a poem in Huangchao in the Tang Dynasty that wrote:
When autumn comes on September 8, I will kill a hundred flowers after the flowers bloom.
The heavenly incense array penetrates Chang'an, and the city is full of golden armor.
is also to destroy a dynasty, the same is to attack a place, Huangchao's flowers did not bloom, Liu Bang's flowers bloomed, although there was no cupola incense, let alone gold armor, Huangchao's success was successful, but Liu Bang was famous. Why is that?
In the Qin Dynasty, the common people were miserable, which inevitably needed a savior in the public psychology; And Liu Bang used his intelligence and luck to complete this mission by chance. If there is no Liu Bang, there will be Zhao Bang and Li Bang.
In terms of philosophical dialectics, Liu Bang's success is a masterpiece of chance and inevitability.
Whether it is luck or strength, Liu Bang has done a great thing, and he has marked a dark era.
The night gave him a pair of black eyes, which he was going to use to find the light.
The light is still far away, and comrades still need to work hard.
But the comrades seem to have become a little less strenuous .
Liu Bang accepted the surrender of Prince Qin and accepted the jade seal of the country, and many generals suggested that Liu Bang kill Prince Qin based on the idea of cutting the grass and eradicating the roots, but Liu Bang did not agree, he forgave Ziying. He really didn't have much interest in killing, which is why the common people loved him.
At that time, there was a general election, and the candidates were Liu Bang and Xiang Yu, who would you give your votes to?
In terms of personal charm, I will not hesitate to vote for the handsome and dashing Yushu Xiang Yu, but if I want to choose who cares about the life of my little people, I will not hesitate to vote for Liu Bang. What the little people need is a full belly, a free life, and a safe and harmonious society, and they don't need rivers of blood and corpses all over the field.
I didn't say that Xiang Yu must not be able to do it, he may be able to do it, I don't have the courage to give him this opportunity, some mistakes were made once, and there was never a second time.
The Qin Dynasty finally settled in the ground, and at this moment, Liu Bang couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart. Not only was he excited, but the entire army was very excited. When you get excited, you will be a little out of line. The generals are busier than fighting, so what are you busy asking? Two words, robbery.
Many of them have suffered a lot in the first half of their lives because they were poor, so wealth is very important to them.
I don't want to suffer the loss of no money anymore, even if I don't have my life to enjoy it, I have to leave it to future generations, so that they don't suffer the same sin as themselves. It's a great idea, but it's also selfish.
The Qin Dynasty perished in his own hands, how rich Xianyang is, if you don't fish at this time, when will you wait? The so-called don't rob white, don't rob, tens of thousands of soldiers under your command, who are you afraid of? One of the signs of the overthrow of a dynasty is the rapid change of ownership of wealth.
The old rich were knocked down, and the new rich rose up.
Most of the old rich people were royal nobles and court officials of the Qin Dynasty.
Killing these people is one of the purposes of the uprising! Their wealth should be deprived of it.
In the crowd of looting, there was one person who was calm and sensible.
He did not go to the mansion of the rich man to make a fortune, but went to the prime minister's mansion to find books.
Is he sick in the head?
No sickness!
Xiao He understood that what he was looking for was a truly priceless treasure. What he was looking for were books, which were not ordinary books, but documents and illustrations of the Qin Dynasty on National Geographic, population, fortresses, strength and weakness, and so on. It can only be said that Xiao He was born to be a prime minister.
Pei Gong should really thank Xiao He.
Liu Bang entered Xianyang and arrived at the palace of the Qin Dynasty, and his eyes were suddenly dazzled.
I didn't expect the palace to be so majestic, full of carved dragons and phoenixes, cloisters and pavilions, curtains of various colors, all kinds of rare treasures, people are really dazzled to see. What makes Liu Bang even happier is those delicate beauties Gong E, all of them are graceful and beautiful, Liu Bang is really stunned, his heart is itchy, in the face of these never-before-seen treasures, he looks left and right, and he can't put it down, and then look at those beauties, his heart is even more rippling, thinking that since the beginning of the army, he has gathered less and separated more with Lu Pheasant, and Lu Pheasant's face is slowly aging, which is more than one-tenth of these palace maids, and naturally has many desires.
So, in order not to be disturbed, he issued an edict ordering everyone not to disturb him for the time being, and he was to rest.
The edict was said tactfully, but the ministers knew it. Liu Bang hugged left and right in Xianyang Palace, enjoying all the gentleness.
Those women still forced their faces to laugh for the sake of their lives.
In their eyes, as long as they don't lose their lives, whoever is the master is the same.
Liu Bang was as happy as a fairy in the palace, but Fan Hao outside the palace, Zhang Liang and others were really impatient. Seeing that Liu Bang didn't come out for so long, Fan Hao first broke in (every time it was very timely), and saw that Liu Bang was fighting with the palace maids at a glance, Fan Hao didn't avoid it, and asked at a glance: "Do you want to win the world, or do you want to be a rich man?" ”
Liu Bang, who usually follows the advice, turned out to be ugly this time. In the case of his relatives, he did not refute, but sat on the edge of the bed without saying a word. Fan Xu was unrelenting and continued: "As soon as you entered the Qin Palace, were you confused? Look at the magnificence of the Qin Palace, that's why it perished, why do you want this kind of thing? Please go back to the barracks as soon as possible, and don't stay in the palace. ”
Liu Bang was very unhappy, but he didn't have a good seizure, and said: "I'm just a little sleepy and want to stay here." ”
Liu Bang hugged the delicate beauties left and right, and really didn't want to leave this gentle township.
At this time, Zhang Liang came in, and when he saw Liu Bang's reluctance and reluctance, he also frowned, his tone was very gentle, and said: "The Qin Dynasty has no way, you can only get here, since it is to sweep away the **** for the world, then you should pursue frugality, and now you have just entered Qin, you have begun to enjoy yourself, this is 'helping to abuse', besides, loyalty is good for deeds, good medicine is good for disease, you still listen to Fan Xu." ”
Although Zhang Liang said the same thing as Fan Xu, it sounded comfortable and made people feel like a spring breeze. He knows Liu Bang, Liu Bang is good at wine, very generous, very casual, he is also reasonable, as long as he can convince him, he will definitely accept it. If you are like Fan Xu, you shout as soon as you come in, you should be like this, you shouldn't be like that, what will happen like this, what will happen like that! Anyone is uncomfortable to listen to. If this continues, who is the leader?
The same thing can be said differently in different people's mouths.
Of course, it's no wonder that Fan Xu, he is a military general and does rough work. Zhang Liang is a civil servant and does fine work. Just like in a company, there are two types of people who do technology and market, and you can feel the difference in what they say anytime and anywhere.
Speaking, it really is an art. Mastering this art, I dare not say that I dominate the world, but I can also meet the source left and right, and extend in all directions. No lawyers, military generals, whether they are doing technology or marketing, who can master the heat and have a worry-free future.
Liu Bang, dissuaded by Zhang Liang, happily left the Qin palace and returned to the army, garrisoning the army to dominate (now east of Xi'an).
After a month, Liu Bang held a meeting in Bashang, which was not a military meeting, but it was more meaningful than any military meeting.
Liu Bang summoned all the fathers and elders and heroes of the counties of Qin State and issued a decree, "Those who kill people die, and those who injure people and steal are punished." These are the famous three chapters of the Covenant, which are just a few words, but they are extremely powerful.
In the war years, people's lives were like mustard, no one cared about stealing, no one cared for hurting people, and no one cared for murder. Ordinary people are in a state of panic and have no sense of security. The only consolation is to pray to the heavens that there will be less pain when you die, and that you will be able to go to heaven instead of hell.
Don't think it's an exaggeration, it's just the way it is. When I look at history, I always watch the generals fight wits and courage, and for a while there are many strange schemes, and for a while defeat turns into victory, which is not fun. Who would have thought about how the people were doing at this moment? The suffering of the common people is almost drowned in the figures of those capable generals.
It's still the same sentence: during the war years, it was the common people who suffered the most.
An era of insecurity is destined to last long, just as an insecure marriage is destined to deteriorate.
The reason why the three chapters of the covenant is significant is that it just conforms to the will of the people and gives them a sense of security.
No matter who is in power, in the eyes of the people, whoever can protect their lives and property will support whom? Whoever wants to trample on his life and property will rebel and defeat whom?
Liu Bangneng, of course, supports it. If the Qin Dynasty can't, then defeat it and resist.
The people were very happy, and after looking forward to it for many years, they finally looked forward to such a savior, and they took out chickens, ducks, cattle and sheep to reward the soldiers. Liu Bang refused to accept it, and said, now everyone's life is not good, and there is not much food, so I can't bear to let you break the bank.
Seeing Liu Bang so lenient, the people of Qin were very happy and moved, since the Shang Dynasty changed the law, hundreds of years, although the Qin people have outstanding martial arts, but they have formed a brave and ruthless, the custom of retribution, the common people are miserable, so they love Liu Bang more and more, lest he refuse to be the king of Guanzhong.
Good people, Liu Bang is the one who is really fighting for the people. He has been a small ordinary person for decades, and he knows that the life of ordinary people is hard, and he also knows that it is not easy for firewood, rice, oil and salt, and it is not easy for ordinary people to get a wife, let alone live. It is precisely because he knows that he is distressed, and it is precisely because he is distressed that he can't bear it, and it is precisely because he can't bear it that he is forgiving.
Pei Gong, is really a noble man, a man who is detached from low-level tastes, who says he is a scoundrel, who says he is rude, who says he is weak?
He relied on whoever he had the world, but in the final analysis, he relied on himself and his heart full of benevolence and righteousness.
He is a benevolent man, a benevolent man of the past and the present.
Great love knows no bounds, and the benevolent are invincible.
