When he was young, his family was poor, he was studious and martial, wise and brave, and became the king of Liaodong.
Li Chengliang was born in the third year of Wanli (1526 AD), the first year of Chongzhen of the Qing Dynasty (1572 AD). He was poor in childhood and lived a hard life, but he was quick to think since he was a child, well-read, strong in martial arts, and full of wisdom and bravery.
Li Chengliang grew up in an ordinary peasant family. His father was a small accountant in the city, and his mother was a housewife. His family was poor, he couldn't eat enough and didn't have enough clothes, and Li Chengliang had a difficult life since he was a child.
But this bright and hardworking child was not crushed by poverty, but studied and thought harder. He studied hard, learned from the past and the present, and had his own unique thinking and opinions on the political reality and military situation of the Ming Dynasty. He is also good at horseback archery, and his martial arts are strong, which can be described as both civil and military.
When Li Chengliang was eight years old, his father fell seriously ill and died soon after. It was then that he realized the hopelessness and futility of life. The family survived on his and his mother's hard work in the fields. During these difficult years, Li Chengliang developed a tenacious and independent character.
He toiled in the fields during the day, watched his mother suffer from hunger and accelerated aging due to years of hard work, and at night he hid in candlelight to study military strategy. Gradually, this young man with both civil and military skills grew into a young talent with great ambitions, deep city government, and unique views.
Young people have big ambitions and dream of being recognized by the world. But he knows that he comes from a humble background and is not in a hurry to become famous overnight. After 30 years of silent cultivation, tempering and tempering, the true colors of the general began to slowly appear.
When he first entered officialdom, he was 40 years old and ambitious.
For many years, Li Chengliang has been suspected of being a Liaodong dragon. In 1566, when Li Chengliang was 40 years old, he met Li Chengliang by the Imperial Governor Gao Gong, and was impressed by his courage and introduced him to the palace as an official. Li Chengliang was first appointed as the general of Weishan. Although his career is not high, he has the spirit of the Yangtze River and cares about the people of the world.
The following year, he was promoted to lieutenant general, and later to commander of the Liaodong Metropolitan of the Beijing Division. Li Chengliang's chest trembled with blood, and he finally showed his inner desire and ambition. At that time, he was full of energy, but he didn't know that it only took him a thousand miles a day to obtain this eloquent strategy in Liaodong.
For 30 years, guarding Liaodong.
When he first entered Liaodong, the Mongolian iron hooves traveled all over the northern Xinjiang, staining Liaodong with blood. From the border generals to the common people, no matter old or young, everyone is in danger. Li Chengliang is open-minded and never flinchs in the face of great disasters. He fulfilled a great wish: I must defend a corner of Liaodong, where only mountains and rivers can be peaceful. It can be said that in the face of the attack of the Mongol iron cavalry, it is indeed the responsibility of the people to immediately repair the weapons and militia groups in Liaodong. He fought many times, broke hundreds of thousands of Mongol troops, and shocked the world. For his outstanding military achievements, Li Chengliang was awarded"Ning Yuanbo"Title.
During the Wanli period, Genghis Khan's Jurchen Light attacked frequently and was good at harassment and sneak attacks. The so-called internal and external troubles, the heart of the Liaodong Army is about to break. Li Chengliang proposed to build six additional forts in Kuandian to control the deep hinterland. The construction of the Six Forts was interrupted for a time due to the killing of Pei Chengzu, the governor of construction, in the early days of Genghis Khan's Jurchen tribe sneak attack.
Li Chengliang vowed to kill the female Genghis Khan Wang Gao to shame our army. Finally, in 1582, Li Chengliang defeated Wang Gao's army and captured him. When Li Chengliang wanted to ask him about the authenticity of the female ***, Queen Gao cried and died in prison. The Liaodong clan was purged, and the whole army was shocked. Lee Sung-liang's fame began to spread.
The adoption of a young hated king as a son led to misfortune and disaster.
In this battle, Li Chengliang personally captured the young Nurhachi. Nurhachi's father, Takshi, was killed in battle, and Nurhachi became an orphan and had to become a slave. Nurhachi later became Li Chengliang's greatest enemy.
After Wang Gao's death, his son Ah Dai swore to avenge his father, allied with the elves, and plundered. When Li Chengliang was 58 years old, he went out again, ready to wipe him out completely. Unbeknownst to him, Nurhachi's relatives secretly helped Adai and disturbed the morale of the army, and Nurhachi's grandfather and Ronkodo were mistakenly killed.
Nurhachi ignored the brotherly affection of his son, and Li Chengliang fell to the ground:"My aunt killed my father and brother by mistake, and I had no choice but to build an army for the country, which is shameful. "This sentence comes from the mouth of the heroes of the world, and it will surely arouse eternal sorrow and hatred.
Although Li Chengliang is the prime minister without wind, he said worriedly:"This is a misunderstanding, and I can posthumously give me the title and land to appease Nurhachi's hatred. "
Nurhachi is already 25 years old, how can there be a title or two and a domain? When he saw his grandfather die under the city, Nurhachi vowed that one day he would live forever. So he broke with Li Chengliang and began to unite with the Jurchens to develop power, and eventually became the founding emperor of the Jin Dynasty.
When they were driven back to their hometowns, the leaky furnace did not spare them.
In 1595, Li Chengliang was stationed in Liaodong for more than 30 years and made many military exploits. However, Li Chengliang's eloquence was not easily noticed by the people, and he was also greedy and ruthless. Therefore, the ** accused Li Chengliang of wantonly killing innocents, fabricating enemy information, and boasting of military exploits. Mingshenzong was furious and transferred Li Chengliang to the countryside.
Liaodong Mu Liao's position, only asked Li Chengliang alone. Li Chengliang returned to the ward, the Liaodong defense line was empty, and the female straight Nurhachi pressed forward step by step and took advantage of the situation. As a result, Ma Lin strongly retaliated and harassed, and the Liaodong defense line was in an unprecedented crisis, and the Mingshenzong had to recall the 75-year-old Li Chengliang.
In 1603, Li Chengliang still withstood the pressure and served as the commander-in-chief of Liaodong, fearlessly guarding Liaodong for eight years. Although he was deposed again eight years later, it was only a bluff, and Li Chengliang was able to enjoy his old age in peace, relying on his son, who was the county and the military prestige. In 1611, Li Chengliang died at the age of 90.
Li Chengliang's life is most closely related to the warm land of Liaodong, and Google's protection of this land for decades is the greatest honor and pride of his life. Although his ambition has not been rewarded, he has no regrets. My Liaodong, my northeast, my Liaoshen land, my mountains, rivers, lakes and seas, under the power of Li Chengliang, have been peaceful and prosperous for decades.
Shengliang will regress, and regression will develop. If Li Chengliang was not strong at the beginning, it would be impossible for Liaodong Jiangshan to continue to be strong in the later world. Life is a life, grass and trees are spring. Whoever says an inch is careless, and he will be rewarded with three springs. Li Chengliang has no regrets, although Liaodong was destroyed and it was difficult to rebuild, it was reborn from the ashes and opened up a new world. The ups and downs of this world are the common sense of the world.
