What do Zhu Yuanzhang and Liu Bang have in common?

There have been many vigorous peasant uprisings in the history of China, many of which rose up and eventually failed. We are familiar with Guangwu in Chen Sheng, Red Eyebrows in Greenwood, Liangshan in Shui Bo, Li Zicheng, Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and so on, but most of them have failed. To say success, it should be Liu Bang in the Han Dynasty and Zhu Yuanzhang in the Ming Dynasty. Although separated by thousands of years, we find that these two people have many subtle similarities.

First, they are all bottom farmers.

Although Liu Bang is a curator, he is still not an official in the system. The two started from the grass at the end of the grass and finally ascended the throne.

Second, everyone has a better father-in-law.

Liu Bang's father-in-law is Lv Gong, and Lv Gong is a local tyrant. He took a fancy to Liu Bang at a glance, thinking that this boy is a promising blue chip and determined to marry his daughter. Liu bang had the support of his father-in-law, and then the uprising had a fund reserve. Zhu Yuanzhang's father-in-law is Guo Zixing, and Lao Guo married his adopted daughter to Zhu Yuanzhang because he thought he was a young talent and would succeed in the future. With Guo Zixing as the background, Zhu Yuanzhang had primitive military accumulation.

Third, everyone has an extraordinary wife.

Lv Zhi is vicious and capable, while Ma Xiuying is clever and sensible. They followed their husbands and ate all the hardships and dangers in the process of starting a business, but they never gave up, worked hard and made great sacrifices and contributions to their husbands' career.

Fourth, they were all encouraged or introduced to join the army.

On the spur of the moment, Liu Bang released the prisoner, afraid to report back, and didn't really want to rebel. Later, encouraged by Xiao He, he became the leader of the rebel army. When Zhu Yuanzhang was extremely difficult and desperate, he was invited by his childhood friends Tang He and Xu Da to join the army, and he stepped onto the peak of his life step by step.

5. Both of them have strong leadership and adaptability.

The first is personal charm, so that such elites are willing to follow; The second is management ability, which can know people well and make overall plans, so as to win the final victory in the complex competition. Their career has experienced many ups and downs. At first, their strength was not the strongest side. Liu Bang's opponent Xiang Yu, with a high starting point and strong strength, may have been desperate from the standpoint of others, but Liu Bang lost many battles in the struggle and finally lost the next battle, forcing a generation of tyrants to commit suicide and withdraw from the historical stage. Needless to say, Zhu Yuanzhang, Chen Youliang, Zhang Shicheng, Fang Guozhen, Yuan Dynasty and so on, which is better than Zhu Yuanzhang? But Zhu Yuanzhang won the final unification with his wisdom and tenacity.

Six, after the success of the career, so a hero.

Some people say that Liu Bang is kinder than Zhu and didn't kill the hero as badly as Zhu. The real reason is that Zhu's sons have the experience and ability to fight and can consolidate one side. Therefore, in Zhu's view, these heroes have become redundant and even hidden dangers. It is an inevitable choice to cook after the rabbit dies. But Liu Bang is different. At that time, the barbarians in the north were surrounded by strong enemies, and his son could not be alone. Killing all heroes is like digging your own grave. Therefore, Liu Zhu's psychology is the same, but the times are different, and the measures taken are of course different.

Seven, the policy objectives are similar.

After Liu Bang made Chang 'an his capital, for the sake of capital security and local development, 65,438+households in Chang 'an were forcibly removed and filled in Guanzhong area. After the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang also moved a large number of Suzhou rich people to Yancheng in northern Jiangsu, because these rich people once supported Zhu Yuanzhang's rival Zhang Shicheng, and Zhang Shicheng's hometown was Yancheng, which was relatively backward in economy. Zhu Yuanzhang's immigration policy is kill two birds with one stone.
