Have a chance to travel back in time to ancient times, what kind of identity would you most like to be? Doing business, being an official, or being a general?
That must be the emperor! Yes, the emperor in ancient times that he had the absolute power of life and death, and being an emperor was a cool word.
But how can anyone do the emperor's throne, and our great man famously said: "Out of the barrel of a gun comes the political power." When it is time to fight, it must have muscles, and the hardness of the fist was very critical in ancient times.
In ancient times, most of the emperor's "muscles" were either inherited by their own fathers or struck hard with the strength of others, at which time someone asked: "I can't be an emperor without my background?" Here I tell you, "Not really! ”
"He who has attained the righteousness of the country, only Han and Ming" this is not false,
Han Gaozu Liu Bang and Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang were two people
One is a gangster and the other is a beggar.
These two founding emperors, if they want blood without blood or background, they all rely on the courage to fight and fight to win the world, which is really justified.
▲Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang
The strong are indispensable to comparison, many people will argue about which of the two emperors is stronger or weaker, and the author does not bite everyone's appetite and express his views first.
This time the author sided with Liu Bang
。
▲Han Gao Zu Liu Bang
Then Zhu Yuanzhang's "fans" must have scolded me, right? Don't listen to me.
First, Liu Bang was not inferior to Zhu Yuanzhang
Both of them came from poor backgrounds, so this first contest was based on the difficulty of birth to determine a win or loss.
Many people say that Liu Bang's origin is much better than Zhu Yuanzhang's, at least he is a "Surabaya Pavilion Chief", and he is also a civil servant, and Zhu Yuanzhang is really from a poor background, a monk who wants food. In this regard, the author agrees, but Liu Bang's origin is not as "noble" as everyone thinks.
▲Liu Bang
Many people compare him with the heavy love and righteousness of the timely rain Song Jiang, but Song Jiang is a good villain who earns his own money to spend, this Liu Bang can be said to be what he wants, eating, drinking and having fun, he is the first, forty years old and still mixed at home, in today's words, it is a literal "nibbling old family". In the local area, it is also a small rogue, or a rogue rogue who has no ability.
Liu Bang's little Lu Xuan is very fond of gambling, once gambled and lost the money owed to the local leader, Liu Bang helped him out, but the leader was directly dumbfounded when he arrived at Liu Bang's house, it was simply a family of four walls, and finally had to leave in sorrow.
It is also this kind of righteousness, although Liu Bang has achieved nothing, he has befriended Xiao He, Xiahou Bao, Cao Gan, and other "big people" who have a bit of status in Pei County.
▲ Liu Bang carried the gambling debt for Lu Xie
Liu Bang's position as "Chief of the Pavilion in Surabaya" was also given by these friends, but the Chief of the Pavilion was not an official position in the Qin Dynasty, at best an official, not a "civil servant" of the Qin Dynasty at all, at best a "city manager" in the village.
However, this position is also paid, but Liu Bang's salary is used to eat, drink and have fun with friends in the same village.
▲ Lu Xie and other Fellows of Pei County
Speaking of Zhu Yuanzhang, he is much more miserable, not to mention the salary, he is about to starve to death on the side of the street. When I was a child, there was a famine in my hometown, and before the famine was over, there was a plague.
In ancient times, it was common for people to die of famine and plague, but Zhu Yuanzhang was so miserable that all his family members starved to death, but he survived when he was young.
Alone, he could only go to the temple of Pudu sentient beings to ask for a bite of food, but after becoming a monk, Zhu Yuanzhang was dumbfounded, which was simply a typical representative of more monks and less porridge. Eat less is nothing, at least there is, but soon the host let him go out to the cloud tour, this era of chaos and famine is to let him go to the cloud tour.
Zhu Yuanzhang, who was thrown out of the Buddhist Gate, was a complete beggar, so he had to go to ask for food again, and then join the army for his livelihood.
▲ When the monk went to beg for food again, Zhu Yuanzhang
Unlike Liu Bang, who saw Qin Shi Huang's motorcade, "the big husband should be like this", the young Zhu Yuanzhang could not even eat food and had time to yearn for the grand ambition.
It can be seen from this that although both men come from humble origins,
But Zhu Yuanzhang's starting point was even lower
Naturally, it is also a little harder.
There is no distinction between entrepreneurial teams
It is no wonder that so many people compare Liu Bang and Zhu Yuanzhang, perhaps not only because the two are clothed to fight the world, but also surprisingly similar on many levels.
First of all, let's talk about the wives of the two,
Liu Bang married 20-year-old Lü Yan at the age of 35, and after the Lü family was also considered a famous and prestigious family, he naturally provided liu bang with personal help.
Don't look at Zhu Yuanzhang's beggar origin, but the ability to marry a daughter-in-law is no worse than Liu Bang.
When he first entered the army, he was favored by the governor Guo Zixing, and married Guo Zixing's adopted daughter, the later Empress Ma, which was also regarded as a door-to-door son-in-law.
▲ Lü Yan Lü Hou
Liu Bang and Zhu Yuanzhang's wives have brought them a lot of help, but the world cannot rely on their wives alone, and the entrepreneurial team of these two is also indistinguishable.
Liu Bang's military generals included Cao Shan, Fan Duo, and Zhou Bo, who followed all the way from their hometown, and han Xin, a "soldier immortal".
The prestige of this Han Xin was a realm that would be difficult for future generations of martial artists to attain.
However, Xu Da and Chang Yu under Zhu Yuanzhang were masters who could compete with Cao San, and Tang He, Lan Yu, Fu Youde, and Deng Yu were even more able to suppress Liu Bang's Fan Duo Zhou Bo.
▲ Han Xin
Among the strategists, Zhang Liang and Liu Bowen are both the peak of the strategists for a while, and they are certainly unable to divide the victory and defeat. Xiao He, the rear assistant minister, was well-known, but Zhu Yuanzhang also had Li Shanchang and Song Lian'an in charge of logistics, and it can be said that the two of them could reach Xiao He in one.
If people say liu Bang's heroes, they can probably cite a lot, but Zhu Yuanzhang's men are not very familiar. truly
Although most of Liu Bang's entrepreneurial team are Fellows of Pei County, their abilities are uneven, but there are top martial artists and strategists. Although Zhu Yuanzhang's team did not have any particularly famous people, they were all good at not bad things, and they could be regarded as balanced quality in quantity.
▲ Xu Da
In terms of the entrepreneurial team, the author believes that there is no difference.
Third, the difficulty of environmental opponents Liu Bang won steadily
These two great unification emperors were in a chaotic world when they started, but the environment and competitors of this "entrepreneurship" were very different.
Liu Bang can be regarded as Zhu Yuanzhang's predecessor, but it is difficult to be on the "front" of this predecessor, and Zhu Yuanzhang said that the emperor at least had his predecessors to "give him a look".
And the predecessor Liu Bang simply touched the stone to cross the river to leave a "business license" for the younger generation, it can be said that Liu Bang gave all the cloth clothes to try to call the emperor out of the way, creating a good environment.
▲ Liu Bang's original Peixian team
At the end of the Warring States period, the hereditary system of aristocrats had existed for thousands of years, and this deep-rooted view in people's hearts was the most difficult to break, and it was not easy for Liu Bang to gather people's hearts and minds to follow him in this environment.
Although the overthrow of Qin was an inevitable event, at the time of the chaos at the end of Qin, those who could say their names had to be descendants of the imperial family, and Liu Bang could only do it under Xiang Yu's hands under his name. On the road to reunification, there were occasional Xiongnu attacks, and several times Liu Bang escaped death.
▲Liu Bang was called emperor
Zhu Yuanzhang was different, his situation was much better. Although Zhu Yuanzhang was a bug-level existence of "opening a bowl", he joined the Red Turban Army at the time of the uprising, and his road to becoming emperor can be regarded as a little capital to begin.
Along the way, it can be said that there is not much threat to life if it is not smooth sailing.
▲ Zhu Yuanzhang was called emperor
As far as the opponent is concerned,
The first thing Liu Bang had to face was Xiang Yufeng's Eighteenth Route Princes
These people are all the leaders among the people, not only the strength of the army but also the intelligence is higher than ordinary people.
In addition, there is also a god of war Xiang Yu who has the ability to suppress the EighteenTh Way Princes and does not dare to look at his back, even if Xiang Yu is lacking in power skills, but leading the troops to fight is really fierce.
▲Xiang Yu
On the other hand, Zhu Yuanzhang's opponents were only Chen Youyu and Zhang Shicheng, and the three families fighting for territory was indeed better than liu Bang's survival in the cracks, and the oppressive power of Chen Youyu and Zhang Shicheng was far less than that of the Eighteenth Road Princes and Xiang Yu.
▲Chen Youyi
Therefore, in terms of the environment of playing the world and the intensity of the opponent, Liu Bang is really more difficult.
Conclusion
The author analyzes from three aspects, Liu Bang and Zhu Yuanzhang are both one win, one loss and one draw, and it is difficult to distinguish between them.
Living to thirty in the turbulent years is considered a long life, but Liu Bang has nearly half a hundred when he started his business, and it is not easy to make up his mind to determine the world, let alone succeed, Zhu Yuanzhang, who started a business in his prime, at least has an advantage in physical energy.
Liu Bang, who walked in front of Zhu Yuanzhang, could be regarded as the first person who dared to go up to the Nine Heavens to bind the Dragon. If Liu Bang fails, then the world will still be divided by the princes, a unified dynasty will not exist, the king of the cloth may also become a myth, and future generations will not dare to try.
Liu Bang not only had to face powerful opponents and chaotic times, but also the people's hearts that had been sealed for a thousand years.
Based on this, the author believes that it is more difficult for Liu Bang to win the world.
The wheel of history is rolling forward, Liu Bang and Zhu Yuanzhang are both a generation of Ming emperors, no matter how strong or weak, the contribution to future generations is immeasurable.
