What is the life of Liu Bang, the son of Buyi?
Liu bang is the third in the family, and the Liu family is a poor peasant family, farming. As a teenager, Liu Bang didn't like farming, making friends, being loyal to people, playing with guns and sticks. He spent all day in pubs and was often scolded by his father. It was not until he was in his thirties that he became a small swimming pool. Tingchang is a small official who maintains public order, catches thieves one by one, manages traffic and receives past official duties. The swimming pool is close to the county seat, so Liu Bang has contacts with county officials such as Xiao He, Cao Can and Xia Houying. These social relations not only increased Liu Bang's knowledge, but also became the backbone of his uprising in troubled times at the end of Qin Dynasty.
As a curator, Liu Bang often escorted prisoners to Xianyang, Kyoto. He saw the majestic momentum of Qin Shihuang's trip and was very envious. He sighed and said, "A gentleman should be like this!" In his mind, there is a dream of wealth.
Liu bang's wife, Lu, was her daughter. She made an enemy with her hometown and later came to Peixian County, because the county magistrate of Peixian County was his good friend. When Lu Gong first arrived in Pei County, many people went to visit him. Liu bang also went. County magistrate Xiao He presided over the reception. He stipulated that people under 1000 yuan as wedding gifts should sit under the hall. Although Liu bang had no money, he said, "I'll give you 10 thousand!" " Lv Gong heard that, quickly stepped forward. "。 I liked Liu Bang at first sight, and later I married my daughter to him. This is the famous Lv Hou in history.
Later, Liu Bang was ordered to escort the torturers to serve in Lishan, but many people escaped halfway. Liu bang is also very helpless. When resting in osawa, Fengyi County, Liu Bang drank some wine, and then let the torturers loose the rope and let them run for their lives. But a dozen people didn't want to leave him alone, and they all expressed their willingness to follow him. Liu bang led everyone to escape, and the person in charge of escorting came back and told him that there was a big snake blocking the road and there was no way to pass. Liu bang was a little drunk and reprimanded: "We brave people are walking, what are we afraid of!" He separated the crowd and walked to the front alone. When he saw a snake lying in the middle of the road, he pulled out his sword and cut it off. After another walk, Liu Bang felt dizzy, so he lay on the side of the road and rested, waiting for the people behind him. After a while, the man behind caught up with him and told him that he saw an old lady crying by the roadside and asked her why. She said someone killed his son. When asked why he was killed, she said that his son was Bai Di's son. He had just turned into a snake, but was killed by Chi Di's son on the side of the road, so he was very sad. At that time, everyone thought the old lady was lying, but the old lady suddenly disappeared. When Liu Bang heard about it, he exulted in his heart, and later used it to improve his prestige and status.
Since then, Liu Bang has fled with people everywhere, but every time Lu can find him, Liu Bang is very strange and asks his wife why. Lu said that his hiding place is often surrounded by colorful clouds, so it is easy to be found. Liu bang later asked his men to spread the rumor widely, and many people believed it and wanted to come to him. In fact, this kind of rumor was basically deliberately fabricated by the emperor after the founding of the People's Republic of China in order to prove that he was different and had the spirit of a king.
Due to these legends, Liu Bang's prestige in the local area gradually increased, and more people followed him. He is called Peizhong hero by local people. In 209 BC, a peasant uprising broke out at the end of Qin Dynasty. After Chen Sheng and the rebels captured Chen (now Huaiyang, Henan Province), Chen Sheng established the "Zhang Chu" regime and openly opposed Qin. At this time, Pei county magistrate also wanted to respond and continue to master Pei county regime. Xiao He and Cao Can were the main officials of the county magistrate at that time. They suggested that the county magistrate recall the people in exile in the county, which could increase their strength and prevent future troubles. Magistrate felt right, let Liu Bang's brother-in-law Fan Kuai get Liu Bang back, and Liu Bang took people back.
At this time, the county magistrate regretted it again, fearing that Liu Bang would return out of control or be killed by Liu Bang, which was tantamount to inviting wolves into the room. So, he ordered to close the gate, ready to capture Xiao He and Cao Can. When Xiao He and Cao Can heard the news, they quickly fled outside the city. Liu bang shot the letter into the city, encouraged the people in the city to rise up and kill the treacherous county magistrate, and together they defended their hometown. The people are very dissatisfied with the county magistrate who doesn't take care of them at ordinary times. After killing the county magistrate, they opened the gate to welcome Liu Bang and elected him Pei Gong to lead the uprising. Liu Bang listened to public opinion, set up an altar, called himself the son, and led the people to raise the anti-Qin banner. This year was September of the first year of Qin Ershi, and Liu Bang was 48 years old. At that time, there was a powerful force in the peasant war at the end of the Qin Dynasty, that is, Xiang Yu, a descendant of the original Chu aristocrat, and his uncle Xiang Liang, set out in Wuzhong (now Wuxian, Jiangsu) and soon reached nearly 10,000 people. At the same time, other descendants of the nobles of the six countries who were wiped out by Qin also rose up and joined the ranks of extinction.
In August 208 BC, Liu Bang and Xiang Yu decided to divide their forces and attack the State of Qin. Liu Bangling led the troops from western Henan to break the Qin Dynasty. Xiang Yu led the main force to the north to save Zhao and contain the main force of Qin Jun. The anti-Qin generals held a meeting: "Whoever enters the customs first is the king of Guanzhong."
Xiang Yu fought bravely and was willing to fight with Qin Jun's main force. Fighting with Qin Jun at the gate of Julu, nine times a day, shouting and killing into the sky, the Chu army all took one as ten and walked the line. Qin Jun's main force was defeated by Xiang Yu. But Xiang Yu is cruel. Wherever his troops went, they often killed the whole city and set it on fire, which greatly lost the hearts and minds of the people.
Contrary to Xiang Yu, Liu Bangjin marched all the way without disturbing the people. He took advantage of the opportunity of Xiang Yu's decisive battle with Qin Jun's main force in Hebei, took advantage of it and took Xianyang directly. Zi Ying, the king of Qin, surrendered, and the Qin Dynasty perished. Entering the bustling Qin Dou, Liu Bang's pleasure-seeking heart suddenly rose and he wanted to amuse himself in the palace. Fortunately, he was awakened by the counselor Sean. So Liu Bang made a pact with Shu Ren in three chapters, and the murderer was punished according to his crime, wounding and stealing, thus abolishing all the cruel laws of the Qin Dynasty. This is in stark contrast to Xiang Yu's tyranny and won his hearts and minds.
Xiang Yu broke through Hangu Pass and entered Guanzhong. Seeing Liu Bang's growing power, I wanted to compete with him for the world. He was very angry and wanted to destroy Liu Bang in one fell swoop. At that time, Xiang Yu's forces far exceeded Liu Bang's. At a critical moment, Liu Bang rushed to Hong Men with several followers to apologize to Xiang Yu. At the hongmen banquet, he went through all kinds of hardships and finally cheated xiang yu and escaped the disaster. Later, Xiang Yu sealed the princes, thinking that the world was at peace.
When Liu Bang was a vassal, he was named Hanwang, which governed the territory of Bashu and Hanzhong. Although it is more remote than the Central Plains, it is the homeland of Qin, with fertile land and rich people. You can attack when you pass customs, and you can keep it according to customs. With the land of Qin in the old days, Liu Bang was in an invincible position.
After Liu Bang arrived at the fief, he burned the plank road first to show that he had no intention of going eastward for hegemony. Later, Xiang Yu was caught in a feud between princes, so he sneaked into Chencang and attacked Zhang Han, the king of Yong, and the Chu-Han war began.
In four years, Liu fought more than 70 defeats. However, under the siege of Gaixia, Xiang Yu was ashamed to meet his elders in Jiangdong and commit suicide in Wujiang River. Liu eventually established the Han Dynasty and was honored as the Emperor Gaozu.
Liu bang's way to victory lies in being good at employing people. As long as a civilian military commander is really talented, Liu Bang will vigorously reward and promote him. For example, Sean, Xiao He and Chen Ping were all petty officials in cloth, and Liu Bang regarded them as counselors. Peng Yue, Ying Bu and Han Xin were the generals of Xiang Yu, but Liu Bang still used them. Han Xin is also regarded as a general. In this way, the Han army was full of talents, and Liu Bang finally won the world.
After Liu Bang proclaimed himself emperor, he attached importance to agricultural production, restrained businessmen's speculation and gave the people a chance to recuperate. Referring to the laws of the Qin Dynasty, the Nine Chapters of the Han Law were formulated. These measures helped the regime to consolidate and restore the war-damaged economy, and enabled the Han Dynasty to maintain its foundation for hundreds of years.
Liu Bang died in BC 195, that is, April 25th, the twelfth year of Gaozu. 62-year-old (nominal age) died and was buried in Changling, posthumous title Gaodi, with the temple name Gaozu. Generally known as Emperor Gaozu Liu Bang. The Han Dynasty he established laid the main culture of China feudal society, that is, the cultural system under the influence of Confucianism. Understanding the political and cultural system of the Han Dynasty is helpful for us to understand the ancient culture of China.
