Soon after Yang Guang ascended the throne, his younger brother Yang Liang launched a rebellion. In the comparison of strength, Yang Liang seems to have the capital to challenge Yang Guang. He controls the power of the fifty-two states in the eastern part of the country, and can almost arbitrarily decide the major affairs of the sea in the east, the Yellow River in the south, and the Hangu Pass in the west. Even if he violates the law, Yang Liang can make major decisions on his own. However, strength is not the decisive factor, and the response of the people of the world is more important than strength. Chen Sheng, Wu Guang, 900 people raised their arms and shouted, and the world responded, revealing that the country was in a state of powder keg. And when Yang Guang ascended the throne, this was not the case in the whole country.
During the reign of Yang Jian, the founding emperor of the Sui Dynasty, he eliminated potential external threats and stabilized the situation. After Yang Jian ascended the throne, it took only three months to resolve a large-scale rebellion. He concentrated power and slaughtered all sides, leaving those who targeted helpless. At this time, the whole country was not in a powder keg. Therefore, Yang Liang's rebellion was destined to go unanswered.
Although Yang Liang controlled the fifty-two states in the eastern part of the country, only nineteen states responded to him, and other places waited and watched or even opposed. This was beyond Yang Liang's expectations, causing him to be in a hurry. Skeptical leaders struggle to gain the trust of their followers. When Yang Liang decided to leave the base camp of Jinyang, he sent his henchmen to defend the city, but there were internal disagreements. These differences represent the position of the main battle and the main surrender. The main surrender faction preemptively eliminated the main battle faction and put Yang Liang in a predicament.
Yang Liang learned of the betrayal of his henchmen and regained control of Jinyang, but caused the original supporters to waver. At this time, Yang Guang had not yet made a big move, and Yang Liang was in chaos. A month later, the rebellion failed, and Yang Liang was imprisoned and could not be released for life.
It is believed that Yang Liang failed because of his lack of ability. But this emphasizes individual ability, and similar to An Lushan has failed. They all attacked blindly at the wrong time, losing their geographical advantages and people's hearts, leading to failure.
For most people, there was no real difference between Yang Guang or Yang Liang being emperor, so no one wanted to participate. Success requires the creation of a perception of the huge difference between Yang Guang and Yang Liang.
It is tantamount to Yang Liang's failure.
In order to succeed, we must make everyone realize the huge difference between Yang Guang and Yang Liang, which is the key to success.
This article profoundly reveals the important factors in power struggles: strength, public opinion, and leadership ability. The contrast between Yang Guang and Yang Liang shows that in the struggle for power, strength is important, but what is more important is the recognition of the people and the ability of the leader.
In realpolitik, this struggle for power and rebellion is not new. The author uses historical cases as arguments to emphasize the comprehensive influence of time, place, and people in the struggle for power. In particular, the political stability during the period of Yang Jian, the founding emperor of the Sui Dynasty, and the situation when Yang Guang ascended the throne, highlight the importance of time. This analysis is also instructive for today's society, especially in times of political turmoil.
The article is not only a description of historical events, but also a description of the ability of leaders. Yang Liang's failure was not simply due to his lack of personal ability, but because he failed to gain popular approval and limited leadership ability. He lacks the ability to convince people that he can make a huge difference from Yang Guang. This is also very instructive for modern leaders.
In addition, the article also portrays divisions and power struggles from within the leadership. Divisions within leaders and factions that choose different paths play a crucial role in the struggle for power. This reminds us that in the struggle for power, the stability of the leadership team also has a direct impact on the development of the situation.
Overall, this article deeply captures the complexity and diversity of power struggles, and is important for understanding the underlying factors behind historical events, as well as implications for today's political situation and leadership.
