Preface. Bao Gong's "iron-faced selflessness" is well known, and in the late Qing Dynasty, there was also a general minister with Bao Gong, he was born with superb literary attainments, and then devoted himself to the military, strategy, courage and good fighting are also the most appropriate evaluation for him, he is the late Qing Dynasty minister - Peng Yulin.
In the last years of the Qing Dynasty, there were constant wars, and there were many excellent generals, and Peng Yulin was able to get the battlefield and get his idea. His experience in ancient history is glorious, and his ideas in thought are admired.
The name of "Peng Yulin" was loud in the late Qing Dynasty, and even to a certain extent it was a feared existence. So, what was his experience?
1. The incorruptibility of "Peng Yulin".
Peng Yulin was born in the twenty-first year of Jiaqing, and he was rough in his early years, not only did his father die, but he was also feared by the clansmen, and even took away their family's land. Fortunately, he did not fall behind in his studies, which laid a certain foundation for Peng Yulin's success in the future.
By the late Qing Dynasty, Qing rule had begun to decline, and the social situation was deteriorating. Peng Yulin first participated in the uprising, and then at the strong invitation of Zeng Guofan, Peng Yulin participated in the ranks of the Hunan army, which was obviously very different from his previous study, but after the establishment of the Hunan army's naval division, Peng Yulin's decision-making was quite important.
As an important general of the Hunan army, Peng Yulin had lofty ambitions and participated in the national salvation operation in the late Qing Dynasty. It can be said that he was born in sorrow and devoted himself to it.
If you want to say where Peng Yulin's exploits are, the water master is on the one hand, and it is also particularly important for the entire Qing Dynasty, because a period of "peaceful and prosperous times" has his power blessing. And as an all-rounder in civil and military affairs, in addition to worrying about major events, he also loves the people.
In the eleventh year of Tongzhi, Peng Yulin had already begun to serve as a sailor patrolling along the river, and he was careful to inspect everything, and even expressed his own suggestions, including being particularly cautious in terms of generals.
On military and political matters, Peng Yulin believes that it is necessary to pay attention to the truth and let more soldiers know more. Then, in terms of the system, he believes that the old ones should be used and changes should be made in some aspects.
In the matter of the Yangtze River Water Division, Peng Yulin not only paid attention to the construction matters, but also the situation of their commanders and other personnel. In this way, whether it is an injury or any special circumstances, Peng Yulin takes care of it.
If the emperor and the queen mother asked, Peng Yulin would deal with it perfectly, as long as he raised a question, Peng Yulin knew what to do, and he could figure out all kinds of situations. From this point of view, it is not without reason that Peng Yulin, a serious and responsible minister, has been reused.
Not only that, Peng Yulin was first invested in the army, and his ability to fight in war was recognized as a good material. In the battles in Hubei and other places, Peng Yulin greeted every big battle, no matter how big or small, he was always not afraid.
The soldiers on the battlefield come and go, and there are countless lives left on the battlefield, Peng Yulin dares to rush forward, and solves Zeng Guofan's danger more times, his "dare" can be described as "don't die".
After that, Peng Yulin served in the imperial court, and he was full of achievements in successive battles. According to the ancient situation of "clear rewards and punishments", Peng Yulin's rewards were indispensable, and even in addition to the imperial court, Zeng Guofan would also give rewards to his subordinates, but Peng Yulin never cared about these "rewards", or even "don't".
If it really gets into his hands, Peng Yulin will distribute it to other soldiers, or help more ordinary people, it can be seen that Peng Yulin does not pay attention to money, and he "don't want to".
In the end, in his official position, Peng Yulin only thinks about doing good things for the country and the people. Peng Yulin did not do less about the matter of "resigning", even if the emperor wanted to reuse him later, he decisively refused, he "did not want to be an official", and he was more interested in what he thought. From this point of view, Peng Yulin, who is very uncomfortable with officialdom communication, is not a kind of wanting to retire.
From Peng Yulin's official status, it can be seen that it was definitely a great blessing for the Qing Dynasty to have such a powerful person in the late Qing Dynasty.
Second, Peng Yulin's strictness.
Peng Yulin's period determined that he could not be left alone, and the Qing Dynasty was facing tremendous pressure and even more turmoil. Wars broke out everywhere, not only did the Qing Dynasty at that time need capable soldiers like Peng Yulin, but the people of the world also needed their protection.
In this way, Peng Yulin acted as a loyal soldier at that time. After all, Peng Yulin had experienced the days of eating and sleeping in the open before, and he understood the hardships of the people better, so he wanted to do something for them.
Peng Yulin on the battlefield was the vanguard of the team, and as a general, he was the first to rush to the front line.
At first, Peng Yulin can go to the battlefield to fight, but fighting a war does not only rely on combat effectiveness, it also requires generals to make tactical adjustments, and when the strategic deployment is sufficient, they also need to use it flexibly to thwart the enemy's forces.
Peng Yulin made a plan in the military camp and also founded the flying battalion, which was created for breaking through the enemy camp at that time. Then take advantage of the situation to attack, and it is even more conceivable to break through the city one after another.
From this point of view, Peng Yulin is both wise and brave, as long as he wants to do it, he will be able to make merits.
On the one hand, he made adjustments to military regulations and military discipline, starting from himself, and then he would set an example in the barracks and influence every soldier.
If it is the most unaccustomed thing for Peng Yulin in the military camp, I am afraid it is the style of the **, he not only rectifies it, but also implements it in action.
Just as Peng Yulin believes that ** should be close to the people, it is the most important thing. And even if it is someone close to Peng Yulin, he will do things according to the rules. For example, although one of his nephews became a taishou, but his nephew could only talk big, Peng Yuling would have to beat it well.
Especially because of this "too guard" and delayed the major events on the battlefield, Peng Yulin did not look at who he was, and directly dealt with it by military law.
How can such Peng Yulin be unpopular with the people.
3. Peng Yulin's literary and artistic atmosphere.
After all, Peng Yulin is a person who is both civil and military, and his attainments in literature and art are not small, poetry, calligraphy and painting in the Qing Dynasty Peng Yulin is definitely ranked first, and the best work must be the plum blossom picture.
Among them, there is no shortage of Peng Yulin's feelings, which will be placed in it, but also will be expressed in the expression of longing and concern, Peng Yulin in addition to loyalty to the imperial court, but also miss his family, lovers, etc.
Throughout Peng Yulin's life, he did not follow his own heart for power and status. When the imperial court was in danger, he could take the lead, not for official positions. He will wait until the crisis dissipates and the mission is accomplished.
And in times of crisis, he chose the former in the "dilemma of loyalty and filial piety". In the face of his own affairs and national affairs, he first considers the interests of many people, and then himself. Peng Yulin, who has such a character, does not lack feelings, and is not bound by official positions.
In his later years, he still served the affairs of his family and country, and was posthumously awarded by the crown prince after his death.
Epilogue. In the late Qing Dynasty, if you mention which general is the most powerful, it is indispensable to "Peng Yulin", whose influence on later generations is more appropriate, his character and incorruptibility are admired by everyone, and he is not forced by power, more determined to act for the stability of the Qing Dynasty.
The so-called "no sand in the eyes" is also suitable for Peng Yulin, because he does not allow anyone to violate the rules.
