I believe everyone is familiar with Sean, Chen Ping, Zhuge Liang, Liu Bowen and other legendary figures. They studied hard since childhood, were familiar with astronomy and geography, were proficient in civil and military strategies, assisted kings, and made achievements. However, there is a strange man who is rarely mentioned in history. He is a monk and lives in seclusion, but he cares about the world. He has won thousands of miles. Moreover, he was indifferent to fame and fortune, extraordinary and refined, and finally "died a fair death" at the age of 84. He is Yao, the main planner of the "Jingnan War" in Ming Dynasty-Taoist Yan.

First, be ambitious and determined to do great things.

Yao, male, 1335, from Suzhou, Jiangsu. Parents want him to study as an official and honor his ancestors. He is particularly interested in politics and loves to study strategies. At the age of seventeen, his father was helpless and sent him to Miaozhi Temple to become a monk. He has been studying Sun Tzu's Art of War, Yin and Yang in the Book of Changes, and studying the arrangement and fighting of the army all day, determined to do something great in the future. However, by mistake, at the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the crowds were competing for each other and the flames were soaring. Until the founding of Zhu Yuanzhang, basically nothing happened to him in Yao. After the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, he also tried to gain fame, but he often fell into Sun Shan. Everyone else found a part-time job, but he got nothing, but all this didn't make him give up his desire to achieve great things.

The opportunity has finally come! Ma Huanghou died in 1382. Ma Huanghou and Zhu Yuanzhang were childhood friends and had deep feelings. They fought with Zhu Yuanzhang and suffered a lot. Zhu Yuanzhang was very sad. He ordered monks to be searched all over the country to pray for Ma Huanghou. Yao, 48, was also invited to meet the prince. The two had a good talk, met each other after a brief encounter, and became sworn enemies from then on. Soon, Yao and Yan Wang came to Beiping. However, he refused to return to the secular world and finally lived in the Qingshou Temple in Beiping as a "host". He often goes in and out of the Prince's Mansion, secretly talks about state affairs with the Prince, and becomes the confidant of the Prince.

Second, make a decision before you act, and fool Judy into rebellion.

1398, Zhu Yuanzhang died of illness. Zhu Yunwen, the great-grandson of the emperor, ascended the throne in order to establish his empire. After Wen Jian acceded to the throne, he began to cut down the governors. Yao realized that he had a chance to make contributions, so he encouraged rebellion. You know, rebellion is a capital crime, and it is necessary to behead the genocide! There are not many successes in history. Because the imperial court had an absolute advantage in politics (morality), military and economy, Judy had only 800 troops at that time, and he was not confident that the uprising could be successful with only 800 people. Who is Yao? He has seen Judy's inner hesitation. In order to strengthen Judy's confidence in rebellion, he introduced another famous official, Yuan Xun, and a famous warlock, Jin Zhong, to Judy. With a basic cast, he decided to do something big. He secretly recruited soldiers and secretly made weapons in the palace. Yao deliberately buried the weapons yard underground to prevent leaks, and raised a flock of ducks and geese to cover up the sound of forging weapons and soldiers practicing. On the day when the troops were sworn in, there was a sudden thunder and lightning, and the wind blew off all the tiles on the house and smashed them into pieces. Everyone is talking about it. It's so unlucky. I'm afraid not! Judy's calf is fragile. He doesn't want to do this. At a critical juncture, Yao shouted loudly and firmly: "Good luck, the blue tiles in the palace fall to the ground, which indicates that your highness will use the yellow tiles of the emperor!" " The monk's quick reaction and inner determination are by no means idle. At the critical moment, it stabilized the morale of the army and strengthened the determination of Judy and his men to rebel.

Third, the war was blocked and ingenious ideas came out.

Jinan is the gateway from Beijing to Nanjing. Judy met a real hard bone here, besieged Jinan for three months and was invincible for a long time. Tie Xuan, commander of Jinan garrison, is a scholar. He first lured Judy into the city to surrender by pretending to surrender. Judy almost lost her life and flew into a rage. He ordered more than 65,438+000 cannons to bombard the city wall. This iron selection is also a wonderful work. Seeing that the city was about to be breached, he used his quick wits and ordered people to hang Zhu Yuanzhang's portrait on the city head and divide Zhu Yuanzhang's memorial tablet into streams. This move really hit Judy's death point: it makes sense for the uncle to hit his nephew; My son hit Lao Zi, which is against human feelings. Yan Jun couldn't fire, so Judy had to order the evacuation. After this battle, Judy finally realized that this rebellious road is really not easy and the future is dangerous. But "there is no turning back arrow before opening the bow", what should I do? Judy felt at a loss.

Fourth, he has made great achievements, but he is indifferent to fame and fortune and lives in seclusion in the mountains.

The battle of Jingnan lasted four years (1399— 1402), and Yao never went to the battlefield to direct the war. I have been living behind the scenes, my eyes are fierce, I travel through time and space, I feel the changes in the battlefield, and I have repeatedly made strange moves and won the game. Judy also believes that "everything depends on Tao" and "Tao is stronger and merit comes first", so the reward is not excessive. He asked Yao to keep his hair long, give him a mansion, give him a big official position and give him two beautiful ladies-in-waiting, but he flatly refused. He only accepted a junior official from Liu Pin, a monk and recorder, Zuo Shanshi, who still lives in that remote and humble temple. As a result, another kind of "beautiful scenery" appeared in the court: Taoist priests wore official clothes when they went to court, and changed their robes after they went to court and returned to the temple. He is indifferent to fame and fortune, abstains from desire, does not compete with the world, and silently prays for all the people in the Ming Dynasty. This is a monk's profound understanding of society, life and human nature.

Fifth, rescue monk Pucha and keep the compassion of his family.

The destruction of Nanjing City and the "disappearance" of Wen Jian Emperor Zhu Yunwen became a heart disease for Judy, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty. Judy sent Hook to look for the whereabouts of Emperor Wen Jian along the land and eunuch Zheng He along the waterway. Monk Pucha had a close relationship with Emperor Wen Jian. Judy suspected that Pu Qia had ordered Wen Jian to shave his hair and become a monk, so she sent someone to arrest him and torture him. But Pu Qia kept his mouth shut, which has been 10 for many years. In the 16th year of Yongle (14 18), 84-year-old Yao came to the end of his life. On his deathbed, Ming Chengzu asked him what his last words were. He made the only request, asking Ming to release monk Pu. Ming agreed to his request and released the monk. When the emperor asked him what he said, he said, "I have been in contact with monk Pu for a long time, so I hope to forgive him." ..... that is, life. )
