Humanistic perspective
Edited the I Nine Song
In real life, we hate capricious people the most, and such people are often not loyal. In the late Qing Dynasty, such a number one figure appeared, who rebelled against the Qing Three times, reneged twice, was capricious, and was called "the most unprincipled warlord" by historians.
This unprincipled and capricious person is Miao Peilin, who is a martial artist in Fengtai, Anhui, and a fellow villager with Zhu Yuanzhang. Miao Peilin was born in the Qing Jiaqing period, his family was poor, and his ancestors had been farmers for generations.
In ancient times, people like Miao Peilin could only change their fate through the imperial examination, and Miao Peilin, like countless readers, lived a life of "Chao Wei Tian Shelang, Twilight Heavenly Son Hall".
Miao Peilin once put the imperial examination in the main way to change the fate of life, and finally at the age of 30, he obtained the status of Xiucai, but Miao Peilin, who was admitted to Xiucai, did not change his life in the slightest.
Although he was born in Xiucai, his family was still surrounded by disciples and was destitute. This gap in reality impacted Miao Peilin's heart. At that time, it was the taiping heavenly kingdom period, Miao Peilin was under the guise of holding regimental training, and within two years, Miao Peilin's Miao family army grew rapidly, reaching more than 100,000 local forces.
After Miao Peilin's power grew, he was no longer satisfied with the identity of the regimental training regiment, and he learned from Zhu Yuanzhang. In 1861, miao Peilin used the excuse of Shouzhou's unauthorized murder case, and he jointly attacked Shouzhou with the Taiping Army and the Twist Army, and initially raised the banner of resistance against the Qing.
This Miao Peilin was very good at seeing the direction of the wind, and he had a premonition that he could not win the Qing army at that time, so Miao Peilin immediately surrendered. After Miao Peilin surrendered, I don't know how much it took, Anhui Inspector Weng Tongshu played an exoneration, and the imperial court only handed him over to the ministry for discussion, ordering him to "lead the regiment to make meritorious contributions", and did not deeply investigate the guilt of his defection to the Twist army.
Originally, Miao Peilin was able to live in peace, but after a year of peace, Miao Peilin once again united with the Taiping Army and attacked the Capital of Yingzhou (Fuyang, Anhui). Not long after, a large number of Qing troops gathered in Yingzhou Miao Peilin saw that the rebel army was invincible, and once again turned against the Qing, and the combined Qing army defeated the Tiantuo coalition army in Yingzhou, and surrounded Zhang Lexing on Yingshang.
However, this time to encircle and suppress Zhang Lexing, Miao Peilin lost, causing him to behave badly in front of the Qing Dynasty court. In order to make up for this mistake, Miao Peilin designed to trap Chen Yucheng in order to perform well in front of the Qing Dynasty Qincha.
After this, the connection between Miao Peilin and the Taiping Army was not severed. After the complete failure of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Movement, Miao Peilin knew very well what he had done, and the Qing court would certainly not let himself go. Miao Peilin felt desperate and once again raised the banner of anti-Qing.
However, Miao Peilin's power is no longer what it used to be, and failure is doomed. In December, Miao Peilin was killed in battle in Mengcheng, and the Miao family army that had been running through Huaibei for more than ten years collapsed in an instant. When we look back on Miao Peilin's life, we can only describe it in eight words: the heart is higher than the sky, and the eyes are shorter than the inch!
Miao Peilin, a capricious person who can bow down and bend the knee in order to survive, is doomed to have no good end. For his fate, Chen Yucheng angrily rebuked Miao Peilin: "I die today, Miao Thief dies tomorrow!" ”
Three times rebelled against the Qing, twice betrayed the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, only Miao Peilin can do it, and his end is just as Chen Yucheng said, after Chen Yucheng's death, Miao Peilin was also killed by the Qing army.
