I remember that when I used to visit the bookstall and there were three old comrades who were "not uncommon".
They are the spokespersons of Chenggongxue, and the resident customers of the bookstall: Guiguzi, Wang Yangming, and Zeng Guofan.
I don't know when it started, Wang Yangming is heating up, and his mental science is also the object of pursuit by people from all walks of life, as if it is a secret to the magic that can be understood with one study.
Of course, let's not follow the crowd, don't talk about success, just talk about Wang Yangming's war.
Wang Yangming was a jinshi in the 12th year of Hongzhi in the Ming Dynasty, but he was also a military enthusiast, and he usually practiced Xi cavalry and archery and studied the art of Xi and war in addition to studying.
In the early career of the eunuch, Wang Yangming did not have much intersection with military warfare, but he served as the chief minister in the military department, and then he was demoted to Guizhou Longchang Yicheng because of his anger at the eunuch Liu Jin, and it was also in Longchang Yi, and later a major event in the history of Chinese philosophy occurred - Longchang enlightenment.
Wang Yangming began to show his military edge in the eleventh year of Zhengde, that is, in 1516.
At that time, Jiangxi thieves swarmed, and the Ming army lost troops and generals, but it was invincible. Wang Qiong, the secretary of the military department, probably worked with Wang Yangming earlier, and knowing his talent, he recommended Wang Yangming to patrol Jiangxi and preside over the suppression of bandits.
After Wang Yangming arrived, he found that there were many bandits' eyes and ears on the left and right, so he arrested one and interrogated them, but before he could punish the other party, they were all abandoned, Wang Yangming pardoned their crimes and backhanded them into the bandits, and from then on, the thieves' actions were transparent to Wang Yangming.
See, this is called knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent.
After some preparations, Wang Yangming began to move in earnest in the second year, during the battle, he personally led the elite, pretended to retreat, and then attacked the enemy by surprise, "broke more than 40 villages in a row, and captured 7,000 strange." ”
At the end of this campaign, he summed up his experience and reformed the military system
Twenty-five people are in the army, and there is a small armor in the army;The second team is the team, and the team has a total armor;The four teams are sentinels, the sentinels are long, and the two co-whistles are sent;The second outpost is the battalion, the battalion has officers, and the staff officers are two assistants;The three battalions are in formation, and there are partial generals in the formation;The second formation is the army, and the army has a deputy general. All of them are in the committee, not in the court;Below the adjutant general, they may be punished by hand. ”
Look, this is called professionalism.
Since then, Wang Yangming has been full of wisdom and scheming all the way and successfully leveled the Kou.
In fact, at the beginning, the imperial court thought that the thieves were strong and wanted to levy Huguang's army to participate in the joint suppression. Wang Yangming said that there was no need, I could handle it myself, but I didn't have time to stop Huguang from sending troops. As a result, when the Huguang army arrived at the battlefield, Wang Yangming had already finished his work.
The history books commented: "Shouren will be all scribes and partial colonels, and they will be shocked from far and near." "Shouren is Wang Yangming.
Look, this is called a scholar with a knife.
In June of the 14th year of Zhengde, Wang Yangming was ordered to investigate the situation of the rebels in Fujian, and halfway through he heard that Zhu Chenhao, the king of Ning, had rebelled, and the fief of the king of Ning was in Nanchang, Jiangxi.
Yes, here comes another big job.
Wang Yangming hurriedly returned to Ji'an, requisitioned and transferred military rations, prepared equipment and boats, and sent posts to various places as soon as possible, telling the truth and letting all localities lead the army to serve the king.
King Ning's first strategic goal is to take Nanjing, which is also what Wang Yangming is most worried about, if King Ning leads his army to the east and raids Nanjing, then this former capital will fall, and the consequences will be unimaginable.
In order to prevent or delay Ning Wangdong's entry into Nanjing as much as possible, Wang Yangming made the following arrangements.
First of all, bluffing: he sent spies to spread false information everywhere, saying that hundreds of thousands of troops would advance by land and water to attack Nanchang, on the one hand, disturbing the morale of King Ning's army, and on the other hand, it also shocked some wall-riding factions.
Secondly, to divide the opponent: he wrote a letter to King Ning's henchmen, in which he praised them as loyal servants of the state and asked them to send troops to Nanjing as soon as possible, and then deliberately leaked the letters. When King Ning was plotting with these henchmen, these henchmen originally normally persuaded him to go east to Nanjing as soon as possible to claim the emperor, but the result aroused King Ning's suspicions.
When King Ning came to his senses, the ten-day rebellion period had been missed.
King Ning estimated that his thighs were swollen, but there was no turning back in the rebellion, so he had to send troops to Nanjing.
King Ning's army crossed the Jiujiang River and approached Anqing.
Some people suggested that they wanted to save Anqing, but Wang Yangming thought that if he sent troops to save Anqing, then Jiujiang would be behind and King Ning would be in front, and he would suffer from the enemy on his back, which was very unwise. It is better to take advantage of the emptiness of Nanchang and capture Nanchang, and King Ning will come to the rescue, so that he can grasp the initiative of the strategy, and he can still wait for work.
The elite of Nanchang all followed King Ning on the expedition, so the Ming army easily took Nanchang. In the process, some sergeants killed and plundered, and Wang Yangming beheaded more than a dozen offenders, thus pacifying the people and stabilizing the hearts of the people.
When King Ning heard that his home had been stolen, he really led his troops back to rescue him, and the war completely entered the rhythm preset by Wang Yangming.
Wang Yangming set up an ambush on the road that King Ning must pass, and then burned King Ning's boat in Poyang Lake like the Battle of Red Cliffs, defeated the rebels, and captured Zhu Chenhao, King of Ning.
King Ning's rebellion was pacified in thirty-five days. A military disaster was contained to a limited extent.
Later, Wang Yangmingke died in the boat, "After the mourning in Jiangxi, the soldiers and civilians all cried and sent off." ”
Wang Yangming uses troops, flexible tactics, good use of resourcefulness, is very good at integrating his own resources to form a joint force, and at the same time tries his best to disintegrate and divide the opponent's strength.
Wang Yangming is actually most praised for his achievements in Confucianism, followed by military affairs, so many people attribute his military actions to his psychology.
I don't think so, I don't think it's necessary to forcibly attach Wang Yangming's success in the world to the product of mental attainments.
If you can become a victorious general if you are proficient in mental science, then wouldn't Mr. Yangming's ** all have to be named generals?How could the southeast coast be harassed by the Japanese invaders?Later, why did Chongzhen hang himself on the coal mountain?No matter how much they borrow a few guts from the Qing army, they won't dare to enter the customs!
We modern people learning the study of the mind is helpful for Xi the mind, but we must not be fooled by those success scholars, thinking that there is a method in it that can make you step to the sky.
Lao Tzu said: "The road is very bad, and the people are good." ”
There is nothing wrong with advocating and learning Xi mind, but trying to find a shortcut to the end of the south is probably going crooked.
Speaking of Wang Yangming, even if he does not have the blessing of mental learning, he must be a first-class person.
In terms of family history, he was born in Yuyao Wang, and is the descendant of the top wealthy Langya Wang in ancient China.
Personally, when he was fifteen years old, he was "a visitor to the Yong, Shanhaiguan." When the time is out of the plug, look at the mountains and rivers to win. "Good at words, and good at shooting. "Compared to myself, when I was fifteen years old, I was still in junior high school, and I would tremble when I saw the thugs fighting, and I would go to an Internet café to play games when I had time, and the farthest place I had ever been was the county seat. He went out to study at the age of seventeen, and paid homage to Rao Lou to discuss Zhu Xi's study of things.
The first-class family education background, the first-class talent endowment, and the first-class mental insight are likely to create first-class characters.
