In history, there is a Zhao monarch in the middle and late period of the Chinese Warring States, his name is Zhao Wuling Wang, perhaps everyone is not very familiar with his name, but everyone must know that he has a very famous thing in his body, that is, the continuous reform of Hufu riding and shooting, which has also become a good story that future generations continue to emulate, and can also provide a certain reference for the reform and development of the future market.
First of all, let's introduce the basic positioning of King Wuling of Zhao, he is the son of Marquis Su of Zhao, the monarch of the state of Zhao in the middle and late Warring States period, a politician and reformer, can get the title of reformer, there are really not many kings in China's dynasties, and King Wuling of Zhao is one of them.
During his reign, Zhao Guo learned the clothing of the Mongols and ethnic minorities through the policy of riding and shooting in Hu costumes, and learned the techniques of their cavalry on horseback archery.
As a result, the Army of the State of Zhao was greatly enhanced in terms of combat effectiveness, which in turn was able to destroy Zhongshan, eliminate Lou Fu, and open up three new territories in the Yanmen gate and the Generation of the Cloud, and build the Great Wall of the State of Zhao, which had their own intellectual property rights.
But the last years of this king were also very tragic, he was imprisoned and starved to death in the dune rebellion, but we will not talk about his results for the time being, we will see the true wisdom of King Zhao Wuling.
It is absolutely desirable to know King Zhao Wuling from hufu riding and shooting, facing the situation on the side of the world's chaos. Each other country had no leisure and attention to pay attention to the Zhao state, so King Wuling of Zhao was immersed in rectifying internal affairs, he learned the characteristics of the cavalry of the nomadic people in the western region, and established cavalry in his own country.
Therefore, the Zhao state used cavalry in the military, and the cavalry had a faster speed and the ability to shoot arrows from a distance. This greatly strengthened the military strength of the Zhao state.
But interestingly, in the process of using the Hu costume to ride and shoot, he was blocked by the opinions of the minister of the country. So he tried to make sure that the minister could listen to his advice.
That is, he used limited cavalry and won the victory by taking the measure of riding and shooting in the continuous war, so the firm fact persuaded many ministers in the country, and also greatly encouraged the people of the Zhao state, and the final remarkable and impressive result was that through the reform of king Wuling of Zhao, the State of Zhao could suppress the State of Qin.
Just as in 298 AD King Wuling of Zhao exerted pressure like the State of Qin. He forced Empress Xuan to appoint Lou Huan as chancellor of the State of Qin. Because the appointment of Lou Huan as the prime minister of the Qin state could later send more benefits to the Zhao state.
Subsequently, King Wuling of Zhao also made a surprising move, that is, he disguised himself as an entourage to follow him around into the Qin state for investigation, and after arriving in Xianyang, in the process of visiting, he discovered the strength of the Qin state and the prosperity of the Qin Empire's capital Xianyang, and he also felt very jealous, so after returning to the country, he rectified the internal affairs on a large scale and developed the internal economic construction.
The good strategies that made the Qin state Zhongxing were used by the Zhao state. In turn, the development of the unity economy within the Zhao State was also realized. Therefore, it can be said that the contribution made by King Zhao Wuling in comparison and development should not be underestimated, and the concept of this set of reforms he established has also been continuously inherited and developed for future generations.
Then we should also try to learn some life wisdom from King Zhao Wuling, first of all, we must be good at change, as the saying goes, only constant changes can meet the needs of the situation, Hufu riding and shooting is that he constantly reforms his military philosophy and military attack methods.
In turn, it adapted to the needs of fighting in the plains, and gave the strong fighting power of a small number of nomadic peoples to the infantry of the Central Plains. Therefore, being able to successfully gain a place in the Seven Heroes of the Warring States, the concept of such reform is also worth learning from our descendants.
Then what we have to keep learning is to be good at practice. Because it is precisely because the so-called empty talk misleads the country and practical work can rejuvenate the country, we must continue to practice, we must be diligent in practice, and we must be good at practice. And then make a difference.
