Adhering to this view of history, it must be boring to look at history, because many things happen, you will think it is inevitable, but when we go deep into the historical scene, you will be surprised to find that many major events that change the historical process are extremely accidental.
Take Zhao Kuangyin as an example. His job search experience was not smooth this time. If he stays in Wang Yanchao, history may be rewritten, but Wang Yanchao turned down Zhao Kuangyin's job application.
At this time, Zhao Kuangyin turned his attention to Guo Wei, the strongest soldier in the later Han Dynasty. He wants to go to Guo Wei and become a soldier. Only in this way can he stand in troubled times.
When Guo Wei was also in anxiety, Guo Wei's mood was very complicated because of the counter-insurgency war. As for the complicated reasons, it's not complicated at all. He was the most common disease in the Five Dynasties, and the new emperor didn't believe the plaster left by his father.
At this time, the emperor of the later Han Dynasty was Liu Chengyou, a young man who had just turned 18 years old. 18 years old, an adult at all times, but for most jobs that require advanced skills, 18 years old is obviously too immature.
Being an emperor may be the most complicated job in the world. Of course, it might be better if you happen to be the emperor of the Millennium. If you can't be an emperor, you can't be an emperor. At most, you will be labeled as incompetent and dizzy.
But if you are born in troubled times, you should be careful. The emperor may be killed if he doesn't do well, and the end is worse than that of the minister, especially in the troubled times like the Five Dynasties. Liu Zhiyuan, Liu Chengyou's father, knows exactly what kind of troubled times he is in.
Although the emperor closed his eyes in a hurry after only one year, he still had a large number of loyal fans by virtue of his prestige, so he carefully designed and left a reliable team for his son before he died.
They are:, Shi,, Su and Guo Wei. These people or articles, the Soviet Union, the Prime Minister; Or Wu, yangfu and Guo Wei are all Tang envoys, yangfu is in charge of the loom, Guo Wei is in charge of the expedition, and Shi is the leader of the guards and the army, responsible for the Beijing police; Or the three ministers of Zhang Wang who are in charge of money and national wealth.
Perhaps this is a father's deepest love for his son. Before he died, he was still thinking about whether his son's Jiangshan could sit still and tried his best to make Jiangshan more stable.
Sure enough, as Liu Zhiyuan expected, Li Shouzhen, Fengxiang, Jingchong Wang and Yongxing Army, when we were on the river, rebelled immediately, just like an arranged script, because such a drama had been staged many times in the Five Dynasties, and Liu Zhiyuan could think of it with his eyes closed, so he was not worried about the funeral.
However, Liu Zhiyuan made a mistake that all men in the world would make (not Jackie Chan's mistake, not being called the emperor's mistake). He gave his children too many things, but he never asked them if they wanted them.
Dad's everything is arranged properly, but this position belongs to the emperor. The reason why everyone wants to sit down is because he has unlimited power. As a result, he was designed by his father, and he couldn't say anything from Wen to Wu Liuyou. For 18-year-old passionate youth, this taste is really uncomfortable.
Therefore, it was obvious that Guo Wei, the general, would soon be able to fix the rebellion, but the young Liu Chengyou just didn't do it. He used a seemingly infinite imperial edict to send Guo Wei home to enjoy his old age, and sent three completely unknown people to counter-insurgency. Bai, Guo and Chang Si don't know where they came from.
If you don't know where it comes from, it is usually harmful. Although there is no intention to belittle them here, they really don't know where it came from, because you don't know what their military experience is like when you look through historical materials, so this sentence is a very neutral evaluation.
As a result, these three people surprised most people and completely put our time on rebellion. At this time, our young emperor finally bowed his noble head and invited Guo Wei out of the mountain.
Since the emergence of private ownership in human society, inequality between the rich and the poor has begun to appear. Since the differences are getting less and less, no matter what kind of institutional model human beings adopt, everyone wants to climb towards the goal of occupying more resources upwards, but it is meaningless. The ascending channel is fast and slow, which is reasonable and unreasonable.
However, this kind of upward heart is the same at all times and in all countries. Generally speaking, troubled times are a period of reshaping social order, and the ranking of individual social order changes rapidly. In the period of peace and prosperity, it is more difficult to improve the social level through personal struggle.
Guo was born in troubled times, a native of Yaoshan, Xingzhou. His father was the late Jin secretariat and died in the disorderly army. Lonely and wandering since childhood, he started as a soldier at the age of eighteen, and after four dynasties of Hou Liang, Later Tang Dynasty, Later Jin Dynasty and Later Han Dynasty, he finally struggled to the position of Fu and became the minister of Liu Zhiyuan's life.
During the Five Dynasties, it was a long time, but it was not long. There is no doubt that Guo Wei's resume just now is really a soldier of the four dynasties, and this officer is getting bigger and bigger. This kind of situation, whether civilian or military commander, was very common at that time.
Guo Wei has a nickname Guo Kuer because he has a Kuer tattoo on his neck. Once accused of rebellion, he laughed at himself and said that there was no son of heaven in ancient times.
Guo Wei has a famous story, but no one knows it. As a literature lover, I wrote this sentence seriously just now, and there is nothing wrong with it.
Yes, Guo Wei has a famous story, but no one knows it. Since it is so famous, why doesn't everyone know about it? This story is already in the Chinese textbook, so I will probably tell you.
It is said that one day, a strong man came to a meat stall to buy meat, and the meat seller was disgusted at first sight, but the meat buyer said that he wanted 10 Jin of lean meat and cut it into pieces, but he didn't see any fat on it. If you still want 10 kg, they are all very fat. I can't see any fine products on it, but cut them into pieces. "
As a result, the obvious feeling of selling meat was angered and insulted. Usually, he is the only one who bullies others. I didn't expect him to be fooled by others today, so the two men started work, and the meat buyer directly killed the meat seller.
Are you familiar with it? Yes, isn't this the plot of Lu Tiha killing Kansai Town with three punches? China people are familiar with this story. Yes, it is this familiar story. In fact, his earliest source of goods was Guo Wei, and it was Guo Wei who bought meat. The butcher selling meat is a bully. Wei is fearless. Directly after the fight, I started to kill the butcher with a machete.
Thanks to Mr. Shi Naian, there is such a well-known story in the Five Dynasties troubled times that few people can understand it. The prototype of the story is Guo Wei, the founding emperor of the Zhou Dynasty, but he proclaimed himself emperor in Guo Wei only two years ago and was still in a very painful period.
During the Five Dynasties, the emperors took turns to do it, and everyone was fighting. This was a popular philosophy of existence at that time, but it seems that Feng Dao was scolded the most. Why he was scolded will be discussed later, but now Guo Wei is above ten thousand people, but he is not happy at all, because it is obvious that the new emperor doesn't trust him.
However, Liu Chengyou, who has just turned 18, has little political experience, but he still knows how to bow his head, because without Guo Wei, he can't rebel, so he has to ask Guo Wei to go out on his own.
Guo Wei's answer is very interesting, and his words are full of restraint and helplessness. "I dare not ask or resign, only your majesty's orders." In this way, Gao Zhen's master, Guo Wei, led the army of the Later Han Dynasty, and set out toward the rebellious land in a mighty way.
Many times, the height of a person's starting point can largely determine the height of the end point he can reach in his life. After two years at the bottom, Zhao Kuangyin finally found his first formal job and became Qin Bing of Guo Wei.
I envy you very much. This is the starting point. People in China say they are old at the age of three. Although it is a bit exaggerated, it is at least summed up through long-term historical experience and has a high probability rate.
When the ragged man said that he was Zhao's son and came to defect, Guo Wei watched it carefully, because it was not a novel and it was difficult to describe it in detail, but some things happened naturally even if they were not mentioned in the book.
For example, Guo Wei, who has a unique vision, must know at a glance that Zhao Kuangyin is not lying. From the first time he saw this man, he decided to make this strange guy his own Qin Bing. For example, at a certain moment, Guo Wei, Chai Rong and Zhao Kuangyin, three soldiers who were not emperors at that time, discussed military intelligence together. This kind of picture imagination is exciting.
In ancient times, there was no such thing as an ID card in Dingxi, so it was particularly important to look at people. Guo Wei, who has been on the verge of life and death all his life, can make Zhao Kuangyin his own Qin Bing, which only shows that Zhao Kuangyin is trustworthy even in rags.
There are many benefits of pro-soldiers, but there are two most important benefits that all arms can't match. The first is that they can save their own lives. Although this may be the least important thing for a famous soldier, it is actually the most important thing.
Qin Bing is a soldier who often protects the general. Except for the generals who were completely annihilated and died in battle, there was basically no worry about their names. Under normal circumstances, as long as the general is still alive, Qin Bing has a high probability of being alive. This is very important. No matter how high your martial arts and talent are, you will be a frontline soldier as soon as you come up, and your chances of casualties are very high.
Killing people is like chopping melons and vegetables. The last one is king. As long as he lives, he can see the final victory. In this way, Zhao Kuangyin began his military career, which also provided a strong guarantee for his life.
The second best is the most important. If the first benefit is a necessary condition, then the second benefit is a sufficient condition for success. As Qin Bing of Guo Wei, he can witness all Guo Wei's actions on the battlefield. This kind of top-level teaching, the average person is unable to understand.
Especially in the ever-changing battlefield, a commander's every move is closely related to the life and death of the whole army. For Zhao Kuangyin in his early twenties, it is a godsend to witness Guo Wei's every move.
In fact, it was during the period of following Guo Wei that Zhao Kuangyin laid the most basic line, because Zhao Kuangyin witnessed the whole process of Guo Wei's proclaimed himself, and this scene was completely imprinted in his mind, because Zhao Kuangyin proclaimed himself, which was simply a copy of Guo Wei, but with a different name and place.
Zhao Kuangyin, who has just become Qin Bing, is full of fighting spirit. At this time, it is time for him to work hard and make progress. Even if he is sad, it is not his turn. At this time, Guo Wei was in a hurry. After all, he came with a mission. Rebellious time is not a paper clay sculpture. It is the most important thing to find a way to successfully counter the rebellion.
Although we are always excited in the later generations, how pleasant it is for the three famous soldiers to attack the city together in the future. At that time, they, including Guo Wei, didn't know the future fate, and they never expected it. Only two years later, they became emperors and went to Liujiangshan to take their place.
So Zhao Kuangyin, who just became Qin Bing, followed Guo Wei. What did he learn in this first battle?
