In historical records, the birth of many emperors and generals is depicted as magical and exaggerated, such as a house full of golden light, miracles from heaven, etc., as if the brilliant achievements of these people were destined to be engraved in the destiny of heaven when they were born. However, in fact, many famous historical figures have reached the pinnacle of the times by chance. Today, we will focus on an eye-catching figure in the long river of history - Li Yuanhong, who has served as the big ** twice.
Li Yuanhong was born in Mulan Township, Huangpi County, Hanyang Prefecture, Hubei Province, from an ordinary family, unable to devote himself to the road of the imperial examination and pursue fame like the children of rich families. When he was a teenager, Li Yuanhong chose to join the military and was appreciated by his superiors for his diligence and studiousness. In the ninth year of Guangxu (1883), 19-year-old Li Yuanhong entered the Tianjin Beiyang Naval Academy, specializing in naval knowledge. This invaluable Xi experience laid a solid foundation for his future glory.
At that time, the Qing court was vigorously developing the navy, and Li Yuanhong just caught up with the tide of this era. Because of his diligence and hard work, he quickly stood out in the Sailor Academy. In the 14th year of Guangxu (1888), Li Yuanhong graduated with honors and at the same time obtained the position of general (equivalent to today's company commander), and officially became an officer of the Beiyang Naval Division.
However, after the outbreak of the Sino-Japanese First Sino-Japanese War, the Beiyang Naval Division was annihilated in the naval battle, and Li Yuanhong had to jump into the sea to escape, ending his naval career. In the twenty-first year of Guangxu (1895), Li Yuanhong defected to Zhang Zhidong, a famous minister in the late Qing Dynasty. With his rich naval experience, he was quickly appreciated by Zhang Zhidong. Over the next decade or so, Li Yuanhong rose to prominence in the Hubei military circles, rising from an inconspicuous grassroots officer to a leader.
On the evening of October 10, 1911, Xiong Bingkun, a grassroots officer of the Hubei New Army, and others launched the famous "Wuchang Uprising". At that time, Li Yuanhong was in charge of the headquarters, but after hearing the news of the uprising, he quickly fled from the headquarters, hid in the east, and finally hid under the bed. However, his evasion was unsuccessful, and he was discovered by the rebel officers and soldiers and forcibly pulled out.
Due to the lack of high-ranking officers in the rebel army to preside over the overall situation, they set their sights on Li Yuanhong. Faced with the muzzle, Li Yuanhong was forced to take over as the ** governor of the Hubei Army. He said in front of the officers and soldiers: "Yuan Hong is not virtuous, he is promoted by everyone, and it is difficult for everyone to resign, and he should be ordered. I didn't make up my mind the day before yesterday, I didn't make up my mind yesterday, I didn't make up my mind this morning, and now I have made up my mind. Success or failure is blunt, life and death. In this way, Li Yuanhong, neither a revolutionary nor the planner of the "Wuchang Uprising", unexpectedly became the "Governor of Shouyi" on the stage of history.
Li Yuanhong's appointment as the governor of Hubei was essentially forced to go to Liangshan, however, his life was completely changed by this accident. After the "Wuchang Uprising", the wave of revolution swept across the country, and the last emperor of the Qing Dynasty, Puyi, was forced to abdicate, and the rule of the Qing Dynasty came to an end. Li Yuanhong became famous for carrying the banner of the "Wuchang Uprising", and in the next ten years, he served as the chief ** twice and the deputy ** three times. After quitting ** in his later years, he moved to Tianjin to engage in industrial investment and lived a peaceful life. On June 3, 1928, Li Yuanhong died in Tianjin at the age of 65.
The twist of fate transformed Li Yuanhong from an ordinary officer to an important figure on the stage of history. His life story teaches us that sometimes, opportunity can be like pie in the sky, and a fortuitous choice can change the course of a life. As Li Yuanhong said: "Success or failure is blunt, life and death." In the long river of history, Li Yuanhong's fate is destined to be a decision and choice again and again, and finally cast his extraordinary life path.
Comment: Waves of fate, heroes in chance.
This article vividly outlines the legendary life of Li Yuanhong, a historical figure, and shows a ill-fated and magnificent historical picture through his upbringing and unexpected changes. This person, who has served as a big ** twice, although he was not the original revolutionary or planner, became the "first righteous governor" in the vicissitudes of history, leaving a remarkable chapter.
The essay begins by pointing out the exaggeration of the historical accounts of the birth of many emperors and generals, echoing the theme of the text: fate and chance. Li Yuanhong's birth was not a golden iron horse and a house full of golden light, but a child of an ordinary family, however, he did not stop because of his ordinary family background. On the contrary, he chose to join the military when he was a teenager, and through diligence and hard work, he became an outstanding officer of the Beiyang Naval Division.
In the Sino-Japanese First Sino-Japanese War, the Beiyang Naval Division was destroyed, and Li Yuanhong's naval career came to an end. However, this was not the end of his life, but a turning point in his fate. He defected to the famous minister Zhang Zhidong, and with the rich experience accumulated in the navy, he quickly gained the respect of Zhang Zhidong. This period of life laid a solid foundation for his later political career.
The Wuchang Uprising" became another huge fluctuation in Li Yuanhong's fate. The article vividly depicts the plot of him hiding under his bed during the uprising, which seems to be a dramatic arrangement of fate. Although he was not the mastermind of the uprising, he became the "Governor of the First Righteousness" by accident. This sudden change of role makes people wonder if fate is really as stated in the article, sometimes like a pie falling from the sky, changing the trajectory of a person's fate in an instant.
The open-minded attitude of "success or failure, life and death" revealed in the article also added a lot to Li Yuanhong's performance on the historical stage. He accepted the arrangement of fate and assumed the responsibility of the governor of Hubei without hesitation. This quality of daring to take responsibility and facing it calmly has made him stand out in the storm of history.
In general, this article vividly demonstrates the tenacity and open-mindedness of historical figures in the waves of fate by telling Li Yuanhong's life experience. Fate may be difficult, but when a person shows a firm character and the courage to take responsibility in an accident, even a fleeting opportunity can achieve an extraordinary life. This kind of understanding of fate and open-minded attitude towards life may be worthy of our deep thinking and reference in the current society.
