Why was Liu Bang able to control a large number of masters in the era of princes everywhere?
In fact, tai shi gong has already explained this problem to us clearly, let us analyze it from the two aspects of Liu Bang's guiding ideology and the details of his command.
One day in May of the sixth year of Han Gaozu's reign, Liu Bang feasted on his courtiers at the Luoyang Nangong Palace, during which Liu Bang asked zhu why he was able to gain the world, and why did Xiang Yu lose the world?
At this time, Gao Qi and Wang Ling said to him: "Your Majesty is slow and insulting, and Xiang Yu is benevolent and loves people." However, His Majesty has made people attack the city, and those who have descended have given it to them, and they have the same benefit as the world. Xiang Yu is jealous of the ability of the sages, the meritorious people harm them, the sages doubt it, they overcome but do not do the work of others, and they gain the land but do not benefit others, so they lose the world. Gao Zu said: "The public knows the first, but the unknown knows the second." In the midst of the husband's planning and planning, the decisive victory is thousands of miles away, and I am not as good as the sub-room. The town and the country, care for the people, give rewards, and do not stop grain, I am not as good as Xiao He. Even with an army of millions, the battle will be won, the attack will be won, and I am not as good as Han Xin. These three are all masters, I can use them, so I take the world. Xiang Yu has a fan increase and cannot be used, which is thought to be my capture. ”
Obviously, in the dialogue, "with the world as the same benefit." "It is the guiding ideology of Liu Bang's employment of people in the period of entrepreneurship, and it is precisely because Liu Bang can achieve the same interests as the world and his subordinates, so he can control people.
Speaking of details, the historical record describes Liu Bang's first meeting with Li Shiqi in more detail:
Pei Gong went to Gaoyang to pass on the house, so that people could summon Li Sheng. Li Sheng arrived, into the gurudwara, Pei Gong Fang made the two women wash their feet, and saw Li Sheng. Li Shengjin, then Chang Yi did not worship, saying: "Do you want to help Qin attack the princes?" And want to lead the princes to break Qin also? Pei Gong scolded, "Shu Ru! Fu Tianxia has been suffering from Qin for a long time, so the princes have led the attack on Qin, what is it to help Qin attack the princes? Li Sheng said: "It is necessary to gather disciples and righteous soldiers to curse the Dao Qin, and it is not appropriate to see the elders." So Pei Gong quit washing, got up to take clothes, and Yan Lisheng sat up, thanking him.
Let's see how Liu Bang tamed people:
First of all, Liu Bang was washing his feet and enjoying it very intently, the boss did not get up to greet or even give the job seeker the most basic respect, and the job seeker did not perform the kneeling salute.
There are two reasons why the boss does not get up to greet him, the first point is that Liu Bang originally looked down on Confucianism (deliberately), and the second point is that it is possible that Liu Bang was informal, of course, it can also be interpreted as Liu Bang does not understand politeness, after all, he is from the grassroots, has not read any books, and is forgivable.
Li Shiqi does not bow down because he feels neglected and does not get the respect he deserves, so he is unwilling to bow down.
Next, they began to talk, and Li Yiqi deliberately asked Liu Bang whether he wanted to help Qin or break Qin? Thus angering Liu Bang.
After receiving a positive reply, he criticized Liu Bang for not treating the elderly with such an attitude.
After being criticized, Liu Bang did not put the boss shelf to refute (generous and tolerant), but immediately stopped washing his feet (accept criticism and immediately corrected), then dressed and asked Li to sit on it (to take remedial measures).
This combination of fists and clouds and flowing water must have made Li Shi feel quite deeply, he was immediately impressed, took the initiative to offer advice, and asked Miao to "nibble" Chen Liu for Liu Bang through his sharp teeth, Chen Liu, And Li Shiqi was named Guangye Jun.
Open-minded and generous, obedient, obedient, and clearly distinguished in rewards and punishments, how can such a wise master not die? So he quickly let his brother Li Shang bring thousands of people and horses into the company, and in the future helped Liu Bang "nibble" down one city after another with sharp teeth.
Washing one's feet can lead to such a big deal (no wonder people now like to go to a pedicure shop) - getting a city, getting a lot of food and grass, and making two people and thousands of soldiers in vain. I have to wonder whether Liu Bang deliberately washed his feet after summoning Li Shi to do so. You know, Liu Bang first summoned Li Shiqi, and in the case of knowing that the job seeker might come, he also "made the two women wash their feet", if it is really deliberate, then Liu Bang's way of driving down first and then yang can be powerful - think about it in a different position, if you put you in the position of Li Shiqi, will you also do your best to assist and follow with a dead heart?
There are many similar things in the historical records, such as allowing subordinates to make mistakes - Li Shiqi later made a wrong suggestion - engraving and sealing the descendants of the Six Kingdoms, Liu Bang, after being awakened by Zhang Liang with "eight no's", only scolded the sentence "Shu Confucian, several defeats and official affairs!" Then he destroyed the seal, and did not criticize Li Zhi too much, because Liu Bang himself often made mistakes, of course, he knew that no one is perfect, and people will make mistakes.
Another example is full trust in subordinates and obedience to his words - when Xiao He recommended Han Xin, Liu Bang basically knew nothing about Han Xin's ability, but whether it was fasting and bathing, building altars and worshiping generals, the reason why they obeyed them one by one was nothing more than trust in Xiao He, not only trusting Xiao He's organizational ability to "town the country, care for the people, give rewards, and never stop grain", but also believing that Xiao He had the wisdom of people.
Moreover, there is no doubt about the employment of people - after Han Xin was worshipped as a general, he explained to Liu Bang the inevitable defeat of Xiang Yu and the inevitable victory of Liu Bang, which was recognized by Liu Bang, and then changed the military system and put forward the strategic policy of "Ming Xiu Zhan Dao Darkness Chen Cang", and Liu Bang agreed to them one by one. At this moment, the mutual trust between the two sides should be almost the same as that of Liu Bei and Kong Ming in the future.
Liu Bang's insight into people, the records in the History of Gao Zu Benji, cannot be described as intriguing," and Lü Hou asked, "After Your Majesty is a hundred years old, Xiao Xiangguo will die, so who will replace him?" Shang: "Cao Sanke." Asked secondly, Shang yue: "Wang Lingke." However, Chen Ping could help. Chen Pingzhi had more than enough, but it was difficult to take on his own. Zhou Bo was heavy and thick and Shaowen, and Ran An Liu's person bi Bo Ye could be made a lieutenant. Lü Hou asked secondly, "After that, I don't know about it." ”
”
I don't need to read this passage too much, because the early history of the Western Han Dynasty has proved that Cao Shan, Chen Ping, and Wang Ling successively served as ministers, and Zhou Bo did play an important role in the process of stabilizing Liu Han's regime. Liu Bang's knowledge of people to this point is indeed impressive, and it is not too much to say that it is a prophecy, no wonder Grandpa Mao also said that Liu Bang "made the right decision and used people properly."
Looking back at Liu Bang's entrepreneurial stage, he was born in cloth, so he was familiar with the life of the people at the bottom of the society, understood the psychology of the masses, and could understand the essence of human nature, and therefore, he was more aware of people, and knew how to use and tolerate people.
Therefore, even Chen Ping, who has the name of "thief of sister-in-law and gold", is willing to follow Liu Bang with a dead heart.
He adheres to the purpose of "benefiting with the world", and then the meritocracy is used, eclectic, open-minded, and obedient.
Its cleverness lies in being good at grasping the general direction, goals and strategic guidelines, as for the methods, details, strategies, etc., it is enough to listen to more questions and keep yourself able to judge rationally and make correct choices.
The way of employing people and the way of getting along are the same as the ancient and modern, and they can benefit from others, and what harms people is not good for me.
