Time is like an arrow, and it is gone forever. In the 5,000 years of Chinese history, how many shocking, magnificent and desolate events have occurred that are enough to rewrite the course of history?
All events are essentially the interweaving of countless random factors, although history cannot be assumed, but in this magnificent historical picture, there are always some events that should have been easily successful, but because of a small omission, resulting in the overall failure, which makes people feel sorry and full of emotion.
Let's travel through the millennium, brush away the dust of history, and take a look at the five major events in Chinese history that missed opportunities. "Execute it immediately and put it to death! ”
More than a dozen soldiers swarmed up, their long knives flashing with cold light, viciously slashing at the strong man who was lying in a pool of blood.
Jing Ke, a man who defended the country, the country was destroyed by the Qin army's iron cavalry, and since then he has embarked on the road of wandering, singing and indulging in wine, indulging in wine every day, in order to alleviate the pain of losing the country. When he first arrived in Yan Kingdom, he attracted the attention of Prince Dan.
Jing Ke put forward two demands to Prince Dan.
Jing Ke knew it with great righteousness and successfully persuaded Fan Yuzhi to commit suicide and obtain his head. This move can be said to have made a bloody contribution to the assassination of Qin, which is deeply admirable.
After a respectful greeting, Jing Ke presented a map in front of Ying Zheng. Ying Zheng has been yearning for this place for a long time, so he concentrated on **. However, when he unfolded the map to the end, he was surprised to find a dagger hidden inside!
At this moment, Jing Ke quickly drew a dagger from the map and stabbed at Ying Zheng. However, Ying Zheng's reaction was also very fast, and he immediately dodged. Jing Ke chased after him, grabbed the corner of Ying Zheng's clothes, and prepared to ** again.
King Qin's clothes were not of good quality, and they were torn in half. Ying Zheng hurriedly avoided Jing Ke's pursuit, and although he had a sword behind his back, he couldn't pull it out in an emergency.
At this critical moment, a minister wittily threw a medicine bag in his hand at Jing Ke, distracting him. Ying Zheng took the opportunity to draw his sword and slashed Jing Ke's ankle, causing him to fall to the ground in agony, and the assassination plan failed.
This is the cruel and tragic event we saw at the beginning.
Jing Ke's assassination of Qin is the closest to success in the assassination of Qin in history, and the probability of Jing Ke's success in assassinating Qin is much higher than the success rate of Zhang Liang's use of a Hercules hammer to smash the car of King Qin.
However, fate made people, Ying Zheng did not encounter danger in the end, or Jing Ke was destined to fail. History cannot be assumed, leaving only deep regret and regret.
Prime Minister of Shu Han. In Zhuge Liang's last Northern Expedition, the Battle of the Upper Valley was the closest he came to success. At that time, he skillfully used stratagem to lure Sima Yi's army to the upper valley.
Watching Sima Dajun all enter the valley, although he was already old, he was still condescending and full of joy. He immediately ordered Yang Yi to ignite the gunpowder that had been buried at the bottom of the valley, and at this time, the spring breeze was strong, which just fueled the fire.
It seems that my fate in this life is already sealed! ”
The sudden heavy rain changed everything, the raging fire was extinguished by the rain, and Zhuge Liang's hopes of recovering the Central Plains were also shattered, leaving only despair. He hissed and screamed, and it was irreparable.
Zhuge Liang, the autumn wind in Wuzhang Yuan is miserable, and the hegemony dies before it is finished, which is regrettable. Later generations often sigh: "Die before leaving the school, and the hero will be full of tears."
After Zhao Kuangyin seized the world, he quickly pacified Jiangnan, making the territory of the Northern Song Dynasty extremely vast and forming a strong momentum with the Liao Dynasty. However, the ambitious entrepreneur passed away before his career could be fully realized.
According to the analysis of the famous historian Professor Wang Liqun, Zhao Guangyi had the same goals and aspirations as his brother.
Zhao Guangyi fought the Khitan for the first time, and in order to ensure victory, he made careful arrangements for his army. However, the Eastern Route Army was ambushed and nearly annihilated, and the final Northern Expedition ended in failure.
The Five Dynasties period was one of the most chaotic and troublesome periods in Chinese history. In the face of the continuous invasion of the Khitans, Chai Rong did not flinch, bravely led the army, and successively captured Yijin Pass, Waqiao Pass and Mozhou, showing outstanding military talent and firm determination.
Chai Rong is full of talents, constantly going on the Northern Expedition, and he is like a bamboo. Just as he was discussing the seizure of Youzhou, a sudden serious illness took his life at the age of thirty-eight.
During his reign, he reorganized the army for war, reduced redundant personnel, pacified the displaced people, and reduced taxes, so that the politics of the Later Zhou Dynasty were clear, the people were rich, and the Central Plains region began to show a prosperous scene.
Zhu Yunwen, a young and promising hero, was unable to continue his career due to physical reasons, which is deeply regrettable. If he had lived another ten years, the course of Chinese history could have changed dramatically.
However, history has no ifs, and every accident will make history full of twists and turns and fantasy. On the day Zhu Yunwen ascended the throne, he faced the same major hidden danger as Emperor Liu Che of the Han Dynasty, that is, the threat of the vassal kings from all over the world.
Like Liu Che, he lacked a comprehensive strategic plan, and did not choose to break them one by one, but launched attacks on the kings of Zhou, Daiwang, Min, Xiang, and Qi at the same time, causing the kings to be dissatisfied and pointing the finger at Zhu Yunwen.
Zhu Yunwen expressed pity for Zhu Di who sent troops in an orthodox status of the royal family, and hoped that the soldiers would not hunt down Zhu Di, so as not to bear the notoriety of "killing uncle".
Oh, my God! Surprisingly, he constantly missed the opportunity to destroy the Yan army, and instead let his uncle Zhu Di, the king of Yan, attack the city of Nanjing. At this critical moment, the eunuchs in the palace set another fire, which made Zhu Yunwen, who was already panicked, even more at a loss, and had to bear the test of fire.
If you don't seize the opportunity, it will slip away and leave you in trouble and become someone else's meat. Don't let yourself become a prisoner in a cage, let others bully, and seize every opportunity to change your fate.
