After Liu Bang established the Western Han Dynasty, a total of 7 kings with different surnames and 143 princes were sealed, except that the kings with different surnames were relatively independent, the 143 princes were basically from the bottom of the Society, following Liu Bang to fight the world and succeeded, which is a very special phenomenon, why the original social bottom, followEd Liu Bang to fight the world, all became all kinds of talents, ranked among the founding heroes.
Xiao He was the chief official of Pei County, this position was almost the secretary of the county order, not even an official, was a small official, in the war, Xiao He became Liu Bang's logistics supervisor, Liu Bang fought on the front line, Xiao He was in the rear for Liu Bang's sufficient troops, Liu Bang fought several times until the whole army was destroyed, Xiao He sent soldiers and horses to Liu Bang in time, and later Xiao He became the first founding hero, and was the first minister of the Western Han Dynasty, one person under ten thousand people.
Xiao He and Liu Bang
Cao San was the prison guard of Pei County, equivalent to the small official of the county prison, also not an official but a small official, Cao Zan was the person with the most military merit among all the founding heroes, with the small officials in the prison becoming a general who could fight in the war, Cao Zan also served as the Xiangguo of the State of Qi, and later succeeded Xiao He as the second minister of the Western Han Dynasty, their status was high in Liu Bang's team, and the others were even lower than them.
Zhou Bo is a small craftsman, relying on weaving silkworm utensils for people, in order to survive, but also often in people to do funerals when the pipe subsidies for the family, big characters do not know one, this is the real social bottom, but Zhou Bo in the war outstanding military merit, second only to Cao Shan, is the second rank of military merit, from small craftsmen to become famous military generals, Zhou Bo achieved a gorgeous change in life, and later Zhou Bo served as a lieutenant and a minister, he may be the only illiterate minister in the Western Han Dynasty.
Zhou Bo
Fan Duo was only a butcher, the standard social bottom, born poor, but also Liu Bang's brother-in-law, Fan Duo married Lü Yan's sister Lü Yan as a wife, but this is not the reason why Fan Duo became a hero, Fan Duo was the most courageous general under Liu Bang, during the entire war period was Xiao Yong good at war, battle merit, and also saved Liu Bang's life at the Hongmen Banquet, after Liu Bang calmed the world, Fan Duo, who was born from a butcher, became a great general and a left minister, and his position was prominent.
Xiahou Baby is the stable si yu of Pei County, this position name looks tall, in fact, it is the county's special horse breeding and driving personnel, put in today is a full-time driver, is an employee of the government, also served as a probationary small official, but also a low-level figure in society, Xiahou Baby later followed Liu Bang to fight the world, became Liu Bang's full-time driver, saved Liu Bang's life many times, Liu Bang became emperor, the food that was sealed to Xiahou Baby passed through Fan Duo, Fan Duo only had 5,000 households, and Xiahou Baby had 6,900 households. Later, Xiahou Infant served as one of the nine secretaries of the nine secretaries, in charge of the emperor's carriage and horses, from small officials to nine secretaries, Xiahou Baby achieved a gorgeous transformation in life.
Xiahou Baby
Irrigation baby is a peddler, he belongs to the merchants of the peasants, industrialists and merchants, the lowest social status, not as good as farmers and small craftsmen, irrigation babies were initially sold silk fabrics for a living, and later turned to Liu Bang, became a member of the brave and good war generals, irrigation babies rely on battle merits step by step, became the commander of the first cavalry unit under Liu Bang, and later also served as a lieutenant and a minister, with a low status of the vendor became the western Han Empire's lieutenant and minister, irrigation is also a gorgeous change.
There are many more such examples, the vast majority of generals under Liu Bang are from the bottom of society, but after following Liu Bang, they gradually became the founding heroes of the Western Han Empire, and also became talents in all aspects, some are famous military generals, such as Zhou Bo, Fan Duo, Irrigation Baby, some become the ministers who govern the country, such as Xiao He, some are both literate and martial, such as Cao Gan, and some become professional talents, such as Xiahou Baby, why can these people from the bottom of society become talents in all aspects and join the ruling class?
Supple babies
There are three main reasons, and these three reasons are applicable to both ancient and modern times, and even in today's society, these three reasons can still make sense.
First, the choice is greater than the effort
Isn't there a saying now: Choice is greater than effort? Sometimes the direction chosen is wrong, you try hard is useless, choose the right direction, you have the possibility of success, Liu Bang's subordinates of these social low-level figures, the first reason why they can succeed is that they chose to follow Liu Bang, this choice was incomparably correct at that time.
The most typical example is Han Xin, Han Xin originally followed Xiang Yu, in the 3 years of anti-Qin war, Han Xin served as Xiang Yu's subordinate Lang Zhong, this name looks tall, in fact, is the samurai who served as a guard, in today's words is a guard, Han Xin If he has been following Xiang Yu, then there is no soldier immortal in Chinese history.
Han Xin
Han Xin's military talent was very high, it could be called the top of that era, and xiao He called the unparalleled soldiers of the country, such a high talent, Han Xin could not play if he did not follow Liu Bang, it can be said that among all the princes in the whole world at that time, Han Xin could only achieve his career by following Liu Bang, which was the right choice.
A similar example is Chen Ping, Chen Ping was born into poverty, because of the appreciation of the rich family, the rich family married his granddaughter to Chen Ping, Chen Ping developed as a result, Chen Ping in the late Qin dynasty chaos to many princes, the first to the restoration of the Wei king Wei Wei, and later turned to Xiang Yu, under Xiang Yu to become a lieutenant, but Chen Ping saw that there was no future on Xiang Yu's side, so he switched to Liu Bang.
Chen Ping later became Liu Bang's adviser second only to Zhang Liang, and also saved Liu Bang's life several times, at some critical times, Chen Ping gave Liu Bang the right advice, assisted Liu Bang to successfully seize the world, Chen Ping ranked 47th in the list of meritorious men, Andi, like Fan Duo, was 5,000 households, and also served as the chancellor of the Western Han Dynasty, and played an important role in quelling the rebellion of Zhu Lü.
Chen Ping
If Chen Ping followed Xiang Yu, could he have any later achievements? The most correct choice in Chen Ping's life is to choose to follow Liu Bang, only to achieve his fame and fortune, this is the correctness of the choice, the choice is right, even if the ability is almost the same, it does not matter, the choice is wrong, the ability is no longer useful.
Liu Bang also had people with the wrong choice, such as Cao Wuxian, who was Liu Bang's Zuo Sima but he secretly defected to Xiang Yu, and after Liu Bang took the lead in entering Guanzhong, Cao Wuxian reported to Xiang Yu that Liu Bang wanted to divide Guanzhong, use the Prince of Qin as a baby, and wanted to swallow all the treasures, which was to betray Liu Bang and turn to Xiang Yu.
Cao Wu's informant directly contributed to the occurrence of the Hongmen banquet, Liu Bang heard Xiang Yu at the Hongmen banquet saying that it was Cao Wu injury's secret, so the first thing Liu Bang did when he returned to the military camp was to kill Cao Wu injured, it was obvious that Cao Wu was injured and chose wrong, resulting in his loss of life, if he did not appear liu Bang, after Liu Bang succeeded, Cao Wu was obviously one of the heroes, which was the mistake of choice.
Cao was unharmed
There are many heroes in the world at the end of Qin, such as Xiang Yu's subordinates Long And, Zhong Liyi, Ji Bu and others, because of the different choices, the fate of these famous generals is also very different, Long and liu Bang was killed on the battlefield, Zhong Lixiao was betrayed and killed by Han Xin, and Ji Bu became an official of the Western Han Dynasty because he defected to Liu Bang, which is the difference in fate caused by different choices.
Therefore, if you want to succeed in the world of the end of Qin, the first thing to do is to choose, and the most important reason for the success of the low-level people under Liu Bang is that they choose to follow Liu Bang's correct decision.
Second, the victory of the team
Liu Bang's success is not the victory of one person or several people, but the victory of the whole team, Liu Bang is not fighting alone, but in the way of a team, he competes with The Xiang Yu team and other teams in the whole world, and finally all the members of the team work together to win the victory, which has achieved Liu Bang, and also achieved those subordinates in Liu Bang's team.
Liu Bang's success is the success of the team
On strategizing and making suggestions, Liu Bang's team had Zhang Liang; on appeasing the rear and having enough food for the troops, Liu Bang's team had Xiao He; on marching and fighting and attacking the city strategically, Liu Bang's team had Han Xin; on charging into battle, being brave and good at war, Liu Bang's team had Zhou Bo and Fan Duo; on clever tactics and unscrupulous means, Liu Bang's team had Chen Ping; on lobbying the princes and drawing together allies, Liu Bang's team had Li Zhi and What he did; on driving horses and horses, being loyal, and Liu Bang's team had Xiahou Bao.
Liu Bang has a strong and reasonable division of labor team, the team has a variety of, all kinds of talents, the members of the team perform their duties, get along well, more importantly, the team has a driving master, that is, Liu Bang himself, Liu Bang's greatest ability lies in this, he can distinguish talents and mediocre talents, can identify villains and gentlemen, can know the mistakes to change, can calm and deal with the contradictions between team members, can play the ability of all people in the team to the extreme.
Liu Bang and Han Chu Sanjie achieved mutual achievements
For example, Chen Ping is a person with a stain, in his body there are two big notorieties of "obscurantism" and "sister-in-law", "obscurantism" is embezzlement of money, and the sister-in-law is an innocent relationship with his sister-in-law, many of Liu Bang's generals are not accustomed to Chen Ping, and slander Chen Ping in front of Liu Bang, this kind of thing exists in any team.
If the leader of the team can not correctly identify and deal with this matter, it is easy to have infighting, Liu Bang also has doubts about Chen Ping, he summoned Chen Ping, Chen Ping said something, Liu Bang immediately understood after listening to it, immediately trusted Chen Ping, and no longer doubted him, this is Liu Bang's incomparable ability to recognize people and deal with things.
Without Liu Bang's trust, Chen Ping has long been vilified by others, and he can't stay in Liu Bang's team, and later Liu Bang won the siege of Han Xin and Bai Deng Mountain, it would be difficult to succeed if there was no Chen Ping's advice, but Liu Bang can correctly handle these things, in any team, whether ancient or modern, there will be contradictions, need the team's leadership to solve, can correctly solve these problems, the team can go further.
Liu Bang can correctly recognize and employ people
Another example is Han Xin, in that era who would give his military power to an outsider, and is an outsider with no work experience, Liu Bang can, Liu Bang let Han Xin lead an army alone to open up another front, to Han Xin soldiers and generals, let him play alone, this was an extremely bold move at the time, think about the failure of Chen Sheng and Wu Guang, it is because of the failure to control the military power, but Liu Bang can firmly control Han Xin, this is Liu Bang's ability, both you can control you, so that you have to serve Liu Bang and the whole team.
Xiao He, Han Xin, and Zhang Liang were able to become the three masters of the founding of the Han Dynasty because Liu Bang correctly employed people, as long as the team succeeded, some members of the team, even if they were a little less capable and born a little lower, were secondary reasons, which was the second important reason why those under Liu Bang's people who were born at the bottom could succeed.
Third, the survival of the fittest
In the process of Liu Bang's team fighting the world, not everyone can succeed, we only see That Liu Bang has divided 143 ranks, but there may be more talents who died in the war, but history only remembers the successful, and forgets the losers, and these losers do not even have names left.
Liu Bang's team defeated Xiang Yu's team
The 143 marquises in Liu Bang's team belong to people with strong ability and considerable ability, they won the war in the past 7 years, they are part of the "victory", those in Liu Bang's team who did not leave a name, either died on the battlefield, or left the team, or disappeared, are part of the "survival of the fittest", which is the survival of the fittest.
People are different, some people can follow the team to progress together, succeed together, and always survive to become the victor, such as Zhou Bo, Fan Duo and others, some people can't stand high-intensity war, in this process to leave, retreat or choose the wrong choice, such as Cao Wu injury, Chen Feng and other people, and some people are not incompetent, just bad luck and die on the battlefield, such as Ji Xin, Zhou Jiao and others.
People who can enjoy the fruits of the final victory must be people with outstanding ability and luck, although they are from the bottom of the society, but they will progress with the team, they will strive to keep up with the development of the team, the team's personnel are not fixed, but there are in and out, at any time will supplement new people, there will be old people quitting at any time, just like the current enterprise, in the whole process of Liu Bang's team entrepreneurship, it has always been the survival of the fittest, and the group of people who stay and enjoy the fruits of victory are unusual.
Birth is not directly related to success
Origin only shows what they were doing before, does not mean what they can do in the future, birth and success can not be equated, all success is for a reason, we just can't see their private efforts, one minute on stage, ten years of merit offstage, those under Liu Bang only need to continue to follow the pace of the team, and save their lives in the war, while also making great achievements, so they can succeed.
