After Xiang Yu was glorious, why did Liu Bang express his high respect to his lifelong enemy through various actions?
On the one hand, there is the sympathy between heroesOn the other hand, it is because Liu Bang should really thank Xiang YuWithout Xiang Yu sweeping the world to pave the way for him, Comrade Liu Laosan would most likely not be able to successfully reach the top in his lifetime.
A certain great scientist once said that he succeeded because he stood on the shoulders of giants. Actually,Each of us succeeds because we have stood on the shoulders of giants. So, we should drink water and think about the source!
However, when we stand on the shoulders of giants and succeed, we must not underestimate the backlash brought by the fall of giants. As far as Liu Bang is concerned, after he replaced Xiang Yu, there is a core problem that he needs to solve urgently, that is, how he needs to complete the centralization of power after starting a business together.
If it weren't for Xiang Yu being too powerful, Liu Bang would not have succeeded if he followed behind to pick up peaches; But if it weren't for Xiang Yu being too powerful, Liu Bang might not need to take a joint venture to deal with Xiang Yu, so if he reached the top, his confusion and constraints would not be so much. So,Fate is fair in the end!
When introducing Liu Bang's years as emperor, we must first make a clear understanding, that is, after so many years of tempering and cultivation, Liu Bang has really entered the hall and become a rare master in the world.
The master has made a move, and the difference is a millimeter, and the error is thousands of milesLet's take a look at how Liu Bang broke the situation for the camp step by step.
Let's first figure out the accurate psychology of successful people. Some would say that successful people will obviously pursue continuous development and continue to break through. In fact, this is nonsense, a person like Liu Bang has become an emperor, how can he continue to develop? What else is the breakthrough? Do you expect him to be a Jade Emperor in a hundred years? The core pursuit of successful people is actually the pursuit of stability and inheritance.
After Liu Bang became emperor,His core appeal is how to stabilize the ** regime of the Han Dynasty and how to ensure that the Han regime can always be surnamed Liu.
But Liu Bang's internal appeal and the interest environment at that time is in great conflict, the first to bear the brunt of the joint investment in the different surname Wang, who was originally the original shareholder of the company, as a result, you Liu Bang became the chairman of the board of directors and wanted to privatize the company, this matter must not be well said?
Of course, even if Liu Bang successfully solves the problem of the king with a different surname, the vassal king surnamed Liu, who himself personally proclaimed on a large scale in order to restrain the king with a different surname, and the old brothers in the rich area who were born and died with him, will also become a big trouble for him. Because it is destined to be extremely difficult to take back what is given.
In addition, Liu Bang at this time has actually fallen into a prejudice of successful peopleThat is, he doesn't trust anyone around him anymoreIncluding his wife and her family, who have been with him in adversity. It's like a girl who looks good about herself, walking down the street, if anyone looks at her twice, intentionally or unintentionally, she will think that others are trying to do her badly.
Liu Bang's achievements in this life are naturally huge, but in fact, he has not lived a few days of stable life. At the beginning, it was because his strength did not allow him to be too capricious, so he sent people under the fence and lived most of his life in a silent voice. After nine deaths, he reached the pinnacle of life, but he found that the high places were unbearable, and he needed to fortify everywhere and dig pits for others everywhere until he ran out of oil.
To sum up, when Liu Bang was emperor, the ** regime of the Han Dynasty faced several major problems were:First, the authority and deterrence of the imperial power represented by Liu Bang himself are not enough; Second, the political pattern of checks and balances between kings with different surnames and vassal kings is uncontrollable; The third is that his sensitive and fragile heart leads him to be full of distrust of his wife Lu Pheasant and the Lu family, including his former brothers. Of course, the Huns on the periphery also began to be aggressive.
Why did Liu Bang have to face so many serious problems as soon as he ascended the throne? In the final analysis, this is determined by the way he obtained power, and without Han Xin and Peng Yue, the heroes of the world to help him, he would not have succeeded. In fact, his power roots are not deep, and he relies too much on external assistance.
Power is quite self-confidence, and self-confidence is usually based on one's own strength. If a person takes a shortcut on the road to success, then he must not be able to sit still in the position of a successful person.
Not to mention anything else, the Sima family in later generations encountered the same similar problem, relying on the calculation of other people's world, must not always prevent others from calculating themselves? Therefore, the emperors of the Jin Dynasty were undoubtedly the least hardened emperors in Chinese history, because they simply did not have the confidence to stiffen their waists.
So why didn't the Western Han Dynasty come to the same situation as the Jin Dynasty in later generations? The main reason is that the first seven emperors of the Western Han Dynasty are rare Ming monarchsIn particular, the previous emperors in power can be said to be rare rhythm masters in historyFor the chaotic situation, you can be calm, rational and objective to take action step by step.
This is a long topic, let's take a look at how Liu Bang, the first emperor of the Western Han Dynasty, dealt with the chaos in the early Western Han Dynasty.
After so many years of imperceptible learning and accumulation, Liu Bang during the emperor's time has actually become a rare political master in the world at that time, which is inseparable from his life experience and his own talent.
The more master, the more cautious he is. When Liu Bang ascended the throne, he conformed to the situation and made seven powerful princes such as Han Xin and Peng Yue kings with different surnames, which was a good way to appease those forces that he could not eliminate for the time being. At the same time, it also reassured these princes that he Liu Bang was still more martial arts, and he would not do the unenlightened thing of "eating alone".
At the same time, he took advantage of his position as chairman of the board of directors to install many princes surnamed Liu everywhere, and implemented the county system on the territory of these vassal states.
Liu Bang's method of operation is very common in today's joint-stock companies, which is to arrange a large number of people he trusts to hold sharesDilution of the equity of the original shareholders and finally completion of the unified merger.
In addition, Liu Bang also kept a careful eye for his wife Lu Pheasant and the huge family behind her, for fear that he would struggle all his life, but he would still be a son-in-law, and Liu Jiangshan would eventually become Lu Jiangshan. After all, Comrade Liu Bang's fifties were really not an advantage in ancient times, what if Lu Pheasant's mother relied on her son to be expensive and slowly drained the power of the Liu family?
Therefore, Liu Bang, who never played according to the routine, made an unprecedented temptation in his life in his later years, and he wanted Liu Ruyi, who had no political foundation, to replace Liu Ying, who was standing behind the Lu family, as the crown prince. The result is naturally conceivable, Liu Bang finally succumbed to the strong resource mobilization ability of the Lu family, Zhang Liang, who lived in seclusion in the mountains and forests and did not care about the world, made suggestions for this, Liu Bang has always wanted to invite Shangshan Sihao, who is a gold signboard, repeatedly rejected him, and also went to the ......court in person at this time
The smart Liu Bang knows that things can no longer be doneTherefore, to choose to fulfill others is to let yourself go.
Liu Bang's biggest advantage isAlways know what you want to do, and then screen what you can do from it, never take it seriously, and never drill the horns.
Liu Bang was actually the biggest dream in his later yearsIt is to realize his bold words when he faced Qin Shi Huang, "The husband should be like this"., he wants to eliminate all the kings with different surnames, and he also wants all the children surnamed Liu to be the king of Anle, and he also wants the brothers who were born and died with him to listen to their old Liu family obediently, and he also wants his father-in-law's family to change from the attitude of investing in him to the attitude of obeying him, and he also wants foreigners like the Huns to trem......ble when they hear his name
10,000 years is too long. Liu Bang, who is already old, feels that his time is short, and there is actually not much he can do by himself, and how to solve the most difficult and important big problems for future generations in his lifetime has become Liu Bang's heaviest thinking in his later years.
Liu Bang, who was already very experienced and thoughtful, after careful judgment, accurately put the breakthrough on the seven kings with different surnames at that time, how could others be allowed to snore on the side of the couch? If we don't surrender to you people, our old Liu family will never be at peace.
Is Liu Bang's idea correct? must be right, the contradictions between him and Lu Pheasant and the Lu family, as well as the contradictions between the Western Han Dynasty court and the vassal king surnamed Liu, are actually internal contradictions; As for the military merit group watching from the sidelines, it is just a hidden danger that has not broken out for the time being. Therefore, it is a top priority to solve the problem of Wang with a different surname, which shows that Liu Bang understands the priority of the matter very well.
Liu Bang's centralization policy can actually be summed up in two ways: first outside and then inside, and first urgent and then slow. At this time, he was much more politically mature than when he was in a hurry to go to the harem to hug the flower girl as soon as he entered Xianyang.
I need to explain here, some friends will ask, since Liu Bang plans to do something to his own king with a different surname as soon as he ascends the throne, why does he want to seal it first and then kill it, isn't this a superfluous move, isn't it more fragrant to strike while the iron is hot and take it in one fell swoop? The key is that Liu Bang's strength does not allow, after beating Xiang Yu, he only has half a breath left, he has to rest for a while, stabilize these people, and then break them by surprise.
If Liu Bang defeats Xiang Yu and declares war to the whole world domineeringly, then Liu Bang will not be the Liu Bang we are familiar with, and Liu Bang will never easily fight an uncertain battle. These are the survival philosophies he has accumulated over the years of being a man with his tail between his legs.
So, how did Liu Bang kill those kings with different surnames?
When Liu Bang ascended the throne, there were seven kings with different surnames in the world, and they wereHan Xin, King of Chu, Peng Yue of Liang, Yingbu of Huainan, Zhang Ao of Zhao, Zang Di of Yan, Wu Rui, King of Changsha, and Han Xin, King of Han.
Let's take a closer look at this list, isn't it very particular? Han Xin and Peng Yue had to be sealed, after all, the credit of the people was there, and you may not be able to beat them alone; Yingbu, Zang Di, Han Wangxin, and Wu Rui were all Xiang Yu's younger brothers, but later they either defected directly, or chose to stay aside and watch the excitement, these people also need to be appeased; Among them, Zhang Ao (Zhang Er's son, Liu Bang's son-in-law) may be the only one who is close to Liu Bang, but it is mainly because Zhang Er is Liu Bang's old leader, and his status in the rivers and lakes is there!
In other words, none of these seven kings with different surnames were willingly sealed out by Liu Bang. But, to be honest, this prince and king are not all they are worried about, likeZhang Ao, King of Zhao, Zang Di, King of Yan, Wu Rui, King of Changsha, and Han Xin, King of Han, are several kings with different surnames who have a shallow foundation and weak strength, Liu Bang still doesn't worry much about them, as long as they don't give them the opportunity to warm up, Liu Bang has enough confidence to make them become good babies.
What Liu Bang is really worried about is exactly thatHan Xin, King of Chu, Peng Yue, King of Liang, and Yingbu of Huainan, these three gods were all more capable of fighting in the Chu and Han dynasties, Liu Bang has been beaten out of the psychological shadow by Xiang Yu over the years, and he is really not too confident in his military ability.
Liu Bang also knew that these kings with different surnames would be forced to rebel by himself sooner or later, and he tried his best to maintain temporary calm, but he was just taking time to think about who he should choose to do first at what point in time.
Just when Liu Bang was thinking about who should be the first to start,Yan Wang Zang Di took the initiative to stand up and help Liu Bang solve this trouble.
In July 202 BC, the fifth month after Liu Bang ascended the throne, Zang Di, the king of Yan, declared a rebellion.
This Comrade Zang Di has actually always been Xiang Yu's little fan brother, and the reason why he was able to become the king of Yan was also because his eldest brother Xiang Yu helped him. However, during Han Xin's Northern Expedition, the soldiers were too strong, and Zang Di felt that those who knew the times were handsome, so he announced his surrender to Liu Bang's camp so as not to face Han Xin head-on.
Everyone may be puzzled that Zang Di took the lead in rebellion, why did such a good baby who knew the current affairs choose to watch the fire from the other side when the princes of the world worked together to encircle and suppress Xiang Yu, and when Liu Bang was in a big situation, he couldn't wait to jump out and be the first bird?
Some people say that it is because Zang Di is afraid of Liu Bang's political liquidation, this statement is actually unreliable, because if you are backward, you will be beaten, you Zang Tu is the weakest, Liu Bang wants to liquidate you, can you resist rebellion? You might be able to live a few more days!
Moreover, in history, Liu Bang's liquidation of Xiang Yu's family and descendants is actually not particularly serious, and even many people have been named **, Zang Di has no reason to become a frightened bird for no reason.
So why? To make a long story short, in the final analysis, it is Zang Di himself who is playing a big game of chess against Liu Bang. He took the lead in attacking Daidi, and then connected Yan and Dai, opening the passage for the northern Xiongnu to go south, preparing to use the power of foreign tribes to deal a fatal blow to the nascent Han regime.
And Zang Di choosesThe time point of autumn and July of 202 BC is also very particular, why not take advantage of the chaos to rebel before? Because it was from 205 BC to 202 BC that the Xiongnu brother who gave him a platform completed the first round of victory against the Dayue clan in the west and completely completed the unification of the northern grasslands. At this time, the Xiongnu had the heart to attack the Han Dynasty. As for why it is autumn, this node is also the most favorable time for the Hun cavalry to fight.
After Liu Bang heard that Zang Di had rebelled, he took it with an attitude of armed tourismZhou Bo, Fan Xu, Xiahou Baby, Irrigation BabyWaiting for the famous generals of the hundred battles to go to the northeast of the Han Dynasty, they easily pacified Zang Di.
The Xiongnu army did not appear in time for various reasons, it may be a natural disaster or a man-made disaster, in short, the scheming Zang Di planned for several years, but was kicked to death by Liu Bang casually. Later, Zang Di's son fled to the Xiongnu and was reused, thus continuing the grievances between the Zang family and the Liu family, which is a later story!
Zang Di was pacified in September, and Liu Bang named his deceased brother Lu Juan as the new king of Yan to temporarily stabilize the situation.
Why did Liu Bang finally eradicate a king with a different surname, and then have to re-seal a king with a different surname? Isn't that a waste of work? First, Liu Bang doesn't want to startle the snake, and the big drama is still to come; The second is that Liu Bang has a lot of trust in this good brother who was born in the same year, month and day as himself, and feels that this is just a formality.
However, Liu Bang didn't be happy for long, and he received the news that Han Xin, the king of Chu, was plotting to rebel, which was definitely the most worrying and fearful news for Liu Bang. Soldiers and immortals are born, who can descend?
Fear is fear, but you still have to be brave to face problems when you encounter them! So, in the anger of the old brothers who don't think it's a big deal to see the excitement -"Only bury Han Xin's kid alive.", Liu Bang forcibly calmed himself down first, standing and talking without backache, which of you has the ability to bury Han Xin alive?
At this time, Zhang Liang had already retired to the mountains and forests, and Chen Ping was the only one who maintained his IQ around him and could express some constructive opinions on the Han Xin issue. So, Liu Bang hurriedly asked Chen Ping for advice.
After Chen Ping issued a series of soul torture questions to Liu Bang, he put it bluntlyHan Shin can only outwit, not fight. It is suggested that Liu Bang pretend to be in the name of the paradedeceived Han Xin to Yun Mengze, and then closed the door and beat the dog, and restrained Han Xin.
Liu Bang weighed his ability and had no choice but to do so. In the end, he succeeded in bringing Han Xin** to Chang'an under house arrest in Yunmengze, and demoted him to the Marquis of Huaiyin. Later, Han Xin plotted to rebel and was jointly killed by Lu Pheasant and Xiao He.
After Han Xin was detained, Liu Bang breathed a sigh of relief, after all, his henchmen had been solved, and it was only a matter of time before he solved the remaining kings with different surnames.
However, in view of the bad example of the death of the second Qin Dynasty, Liu Bang did not rush to recover the territory of the king with a different surname in one step, but continued to take the route of saving the country with a curve, and slowly encroached on the territory of these kings with a different surname. Han Xin's Chu land was split in two and feudedHis cousin Liu Jia and younger brother Liu Jiao.
After finishing the Chu King Han Xin, Liu Bang immediately started to do Han King Han Xin again. He moved Han Wangxin from the Han land that the soldiers fought for to the north of Jin, and assigned Taiyuan County to him, so that he was responsible for guarding against the Xiongnu. This arrangement is actually killing two birds with one stone, and the implication is that the Xiongnu are not a good stubble, and they will throw your Han Wangxin to the frontierIf you can bear it, I will save me a lot of trouble; But if you don't bear it, then you can do it in a righteous and bright way.
Han Wangxin had to bow his head under the eaves of people, although he knew that this was not a good way, but he agreed very wisely.
Liu Bang's wishful thinking is good, but the wise man must make a mistake, he didn't calculate a little, what if Han Wangxin and the Huns get better? You let people be cannon fodder and drive others to a dead end, and people won't oppose you?
In September 201 B.C., Han Wangxin sacrificed Mayi and surrendered to the Xiongnu, and Mao Dunshan Yu led a large army from Mayi to the south to attack Taiyuan County, and the troops were directed at Jinyang.
Liu Bang had a bit of a taste of lifting a stone to shoot himself in the foot this time, and it was precisely because he forced Han Wangxin too hard this time that Comrade Liu Bang suffered the most serious death threat again in his later yearsThe siege of the White Mountain. This incident will be analyzed in detail for you later, so I will skip it first.
After Liu Bang got rid of the siege of Baishan Mountain, Han Wangxin knew that the general situation was gone, so he could only flee to the Xiongnu in order to save his life.
In 200 BC, that is, when Liu Bang returned to China after the siege of Baideng, he took the Zhao line from Pingcheng to inspect, and his son-in-law Zhang Ao, the king of Zhao, naturally had to behave well, and personally served food and daily life from morning to night, with a very humble attitude.
But is Liu Bang here for a vacation? Obviously not, he came to find fault, and catching Zhang Ao all day long was a training, and Zhang Ao's subordinates couldn't stand it, so they plotted to assassinate Liu Bang. This is actually the result that Liu Bang is looking forward to.
But Zhang Ao, a kid from a famous family, is quite knowledgeable, and knows that his arms can't twist his thighs, so he maintained a submissive attitude from beginning to end, and did not participate in the conspiracy to assassinate Liu Bang.
Therefore, in the end, no matter how Liu Bang wanted to pull Zhang Ao into this right and wrong, the evidence was always insufficient. It is also thanks to Zhang Ao's subordinates that they are all a group of bloody men, and he insisted that Zhang Ao had nothing to do with this matter.
In the end, Liu Bang adopted a compromise approach, in which the death penalty could be avoided and the living crime was unforgivabledemoted Zhang Ao to the Marquis of Xuanping and successfully pacified the Zhao State.
After that, it was Han Xin who took advantage of Liu Bang's gap period in the foreign turmoil to unite with Chen Feng to plot and rebel, but was discovered by Lu Pheasant in advance, and asked Xiao He to come forward to deceive Han Xin into the palace and execute him.
After Han Xin completely fell, Chen Xuan, who had an inextricable relationship with Han Xin, naturally could not escape the fate of being liquidated.
The seven princes and kings of the world have gone to four at this time, but will Liu Bang's death game stop there? Apparently not, who's next? It was Peng Yue, the guerrilla king of the Chu and Han dynasties.
When Liu Bang was crusading against Chen Xuan, he once recruited troops from Peng Yue, but Peng Yue said that he was ill, so he only sent generals to Handan with troops, and he did not go.
This made Liu Bang very unhappy in his heart, why was he so unconscious? How can you get sick when your leaders need you? So he sent someone to strongly condemn Peng Yue.
Peng Yue, the guerrilla captain, really didn't have the heart to fight for the world, and when he was reprimanded by the big brother like this, he felt scared and planned to go to apologize in person. Of course, some people persuaded Peng Yue to forget about it, Liu Bang was intolerable, but Peng Yue didn't listen.
But Peng Yue once offended a villain, and when this villain saw this posture, Liu Bang clearly wanted to make trouble, so he ran to Liu Bang to add another fire, saying that Peng Yue was plotting to rebel.
Liu Bang wished he could catch Peng Yue's handleSo without saying a word, a special operations team was sent to Liangdi to carry out a beheading operation, and the unsuspecting Peng Yue was arrested by surprise.
After the triage of the three divisions, Peng Yue's rebellion was unsurprisingly confirmed. But Liu Bang also wanted to pretend to be a good person, and did not directly execute Peng Yue, but demoted him to a commoner and exiled him to Tsing Yi County, Shudi.
Peng Yue, who felt that he was more wronged than Dou E, was uneasy, and whimsically wanted to find his sister-in-law Lu Pheasant to ask for justice, but was coaxed by Lu Pheasant, brought him to Liu Bang again, and persuaded Liu Bang to kill him to prevent future troubles.
As a result,HeroicPeng Yue was killed and the three tribes were wiped out.
At this point, the seven little devils are only left with Yingbu and Wu Rui, the two sons-in-law. It stands to reason that these two people rarely have a good deathBut because Wu Rui was too Buddhist, the damage to Liu Bang's regime was almost negligible, so Wu Rui was able to die a good death in the end. As for Yingbu, he finally saw that the situation was wrong, and the Jedi counterattacked and embarked on the road of rebellion, and was finally destroyed by Liu Bang's dimensionality reduction blow, of course, in this counterinsurgency, Liu Bang was hit by an arrow in the chest, which directly shortened his life.
Finally, to explain, the reason why Liu Bang's process of pacifying the king with a different surname is written in such a general way, first, because of space limitations; The second reason is that the content is so rich that we can only build the framework first and then grasp the details.
Maybe everyone has always been surprised, why did Liu Bang, who liked to splash and roll at the beginning, become so powerful in his later years, calm and calm, decisive and ruthless, and clear thinking, even the military command talent that was defeated in ten battles and nine defeats before was also promoted to Dacheng, and it was almost easy to calm down the princes' rebellion?
In fact, in Liu Bang, everyone must learn his rare and important attitude and spiritWilling to be deeply involved in the subdivision field. Military, strategic, fiscal and tax aspects ......In fact, Liu Bang is not good at it, but he has been thinking about management all his life.
Management is actually to manage human nature and people's heartsSo in his old age, Liu Bang was already a good person. When he encounters problems, he knows how to follow the logic of human nature and explore solutions step by stepCrossing the river by feeling the stones, tried a lot, and naturally tried a way. Practice makes sense,That's what I'm talking about.
In addition, in addition to the subdivisions that they are deeply cultivated, for the surrounding related fields,It is necessary to maintain a modest and cautious attitude towards learning, be diligent in learning, and be good at summarizingIn this way, as long as you see too many advanced cases, you will gradually become a master. Liu Bang has worked with Zhang Liang, Xiao He, Han Xin, Li Shiqi and other great talents in the world for a long time, and his learning ability is amazing.
Liu Bang, the emperor, actually deserves to be quite hard, and his old age is basically spent on horseback, but this just proves that he is powerfulThe pattern is grand and long-term thinkingWon't indulge in temporary success. Those who do not seek eternity are not enough to seek a moment, which is best reflected in Liu Bang.
