History is always full of coincidences and accidents, and although it is a history created by man, it is full of the mysterious power of providence. Whether or not the end of science is theology, many miracles in history seem to imply this statement. From the flood and hail that Wang Mang's army encountered after the defeat in Kunyang, to the flood that the Han River encountered in a hundred years when he was in the mountain pass of the forbidden soldiers, to the death of Li Yu as the sixth son due to the death of the first five heirs one after another, and the story of the descendants of Zhao Kuangyin and Zhao Guangyi in the succession of the throne of the two Song Dynasty, there are countless such coincidences in history.
These stories are more significant in ** or romance, such as "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" in which Kong Ming trapped Sima Yi in the valley, but the fire met a downpour;Jiang Wei trapped Sima Zhao in the mountains, but when he got a mountain spring;Liu Bei was chased and killed by Cai Mao after the banquet, but suddenly jumped several feet high with his divine power. However, not all coincidences in history have developed in a good direction, and providence has sometimes been deplorable. Here are a few of the historical regrets in China that are believed to be dominated by providence.
Battle of Poyang Lake: Chen Youliang was tragically attacked.
At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, Chen Youliang led a large army to the east, preparing for a decisive battle with Zhu Yuanzhang at Poyang Lake. Chen Youliang besieged Hongdu, but failed to conquer it. Zhu Yuanzhang returned to the rescue of the division, and Chen Youliang was forced to concentrate his troops in Poyang Lake. The two armies clashed, and Chen Youliang once broke Zhu Yuanzhang's flagship, but because of the difference of an arrow, he was hit in the head by a stray arrow and died in Poyang Lake. The arrow that once came out of thin air, the slightest deviation may rewrite history.
Drought at the end of the Ming Dynasty: Disasters lead to destruction.
In the last years of the Ming Dynasty, faced with the pressure of peasant uprisings and external troubles, a steady stream of peasant uprisings made the Ming Dynasty fall into internal and external difficulties. Since the seventh year of Chongzhen, there has been a major drought for five consecutive years, and there is no harvest in all parts of the country. Severe droughts in Henan and other places for many years led to the death of millions of people, and epidemics, locust plagues, and insect plagues followed, making the Ming Dynasty perish under internal and external troubles.
Two conquests of the Wa Kingdom: Typhoon obstructed the Yuan army's conquest.
In the early years of the Yuan Dynasty, the Yuan army twice conquered the Wa Kingdom, and both times when they achieved absolute superiority, they suffered defeats due to the divine wind of providence. The Yuan army made its first eastward expedition, and suddenly the southeast wind struck, and the Yuan army's ships were destroyed, forcing the Yuan army to retreat. In the second expedition to Japan, the Yuan army suffered heavy losses due to typhoons again, and finally abandoned the plan to conquer the Japanese state.
Zhang Shijie's fleet was destroyed: the last spark of the Southern Song Dynasty was extinguished.
At the end of the Southern Song Dynasty, Zhang Shijie became the last hope of the Southern Song Dynasty, led the remnants to break through, and prepared to support the new lord in Nanyang. However, after the defeat in the Battle of Yashan, the young lord of the Southern Song Dynasty committed suicide by jumping into the sea, and 100,000 soldiers and civilians threw themselves into the sea one after another. Only Zhang Shijie led the remnants on the way, learned the news of the defeat of Yashan, and when he regretted it, he encountered a hurricane, Zhang Shijie drowned, and the last trace of fire in the Southern Song Dynasty was extinguished.
Battle of Red Cliffs: Cao Cao encounters a counterattack from Providence.
At the end of the Han Dynasty, Cao Cao unified the north and wanted to pacify Jiangdong, but faced the difficulty of providence in Chibi. Cao Cao's army was plagued by the epidemic and gradually lost its combat strength in the confrontation. The southeast wind was blowing, and Zhou Yu used fire to attack and break Cao's army. Cao Cao's dream of dominating the world was defeated in Chibi, and the heavens did not fulfill people's wishes.
These historical coincidences may be the will of God, or they may be the inevitability of the development of human history. In any case, these regrettable historical fragments have become an indelible page in Chinese history.
This article shows the inadmissibility of historical development and the impermanence of fate by telling several regrets in Chinese history that are believed to be governed by the will of God, as well as some coincidences in history. With vivid descriptions and detailed historical cases, the article outlines the distorted fates and unexpected coincidences that have occurred in Chinese history.
First of all, Chen Youliang mentioned in the article was obviously like a broken bamboo in the battle of Poyang Lake, but he died because of a stone's throw away, which can be described as a bad fate. This example vividly demonstrates the inadmissibility of individual fate in history, and a small coincidence may change the course of the entire history. This also makes people think deeply about how many heroes and heroes in the long history have been unable to complete their mission because of the tricks of fate.
Secondly, the article mentions the great disaster brought by the great drought at the end of the Ming Dynasty to the Ming Dynasty. Due to the severe drought for many years, the grain was not harvested all over the country, and the people's lives fell into hardship, plagues, locust plagues, and insect plagues followed one after another, which finally accelerated the demise of the Ming Dynasty. This history tells us that the impact of natural disasters can be more profound than man-made factors, and it is also a coincidence in history that a natural phenomenon has become a key factor in the course of history.
Moreover, the Yuan army twice conquered the Wa Kingdom, both times due to typhoons, although it achieved absolute superiority. This example shows that even though human beings have mastered certain powers, they are still unable to control the forces of nature, and the course of history can be reversed by the intervention of nature. This kind of uncontrollable coincidence is not an isolated case in the long course of history, but the norm.
Finally, the description of the Battle of Chibi vividly shows the twists and turns of history. Cao Cao once tried to dominate the world, but suffered a counterattack from Providence in the Battle of Red Cliffs. The article uses vivid descriptions to show the helplessness of Cao Cao's army under epidemics, storms and other factors, making readers deeply feel the coincidences and unpredictability in history.
Taken together, this essay provokes readers to think deeply about history by telling about the coincidences in history and the unknowability of fate. History is not a simple superposition of a single factor, and there are countless coincidences and accidents hidden in it, which makes history full of infinite possibilities. For the current generation, it is even more necessary to face history with humility, realize that they cannot control everything, and cherish the present, because the future is full of unknowns and uncertainties.
