Zhang Shicheng: Losing to Zhu Yuanzhang became inevitable, Wen Taowu was not as good as Lao Zhu, and he was forced to commit suicide
In the turbulent years of the late Yuan Dynasty and early Ming Dynasty, the names of two heroes resounded all over the world - Zhang Shicheng and Zhu Yuanzhang. Their destinies are intertwined, but they are completely different, and in the end, Zhang Shicheng's defeat has become a historical inevitability.
Zhang Shicheng, from a humble background, but with great ambitions, pulled up a team in troubled times to resist tyranny. His bravery and good fighting made the rebel army overwhelming in a short period of time, and his reputation was also rising. However, the shadow behind this light is gradually revealed.
In terms of cultural governance, although Zhang Shicheng has tried, he lacks long-term planning and vision. His reform measures are often superficial and difficult to penetrate into the hearts of the people. In contrast, Zhu Yuanzhang is more clever. He was well aware of the importance of the people's support and implemented a series of practical and effective policies, so that the people could live and work in peace and contentment, and the country would become stronger and stronger.
In terms of martial arts, although Zhang Shicheng is brave, his tactics are outdated and lack innovation. He often relies on traditional tactics and strategies, and it is difficult to cope with Zhu Yuanzhang's flexible and changeable style of play. In the confrontation again and again, Zhang Shicheng gradually fell into passivity and suffered heavy losses.
More importantly, Zhang Shicheng is not as good as Zhu Yuanzhang in terms of leadership ability and personality charm. Zhu Yuanzhang is good at employing people and can gather a group of talents to work for him. Zhang Shicheng, on the other hand, appeared to be authoritarian and difficult to listen to the opinions of others, which made his team gradually detached.
As the battle deepened, Zhang Shicheng's sphere of influence was gradually eroded by Zhu Yuanzhang. His generals surrendered one after another, losing his territory, and eventually he was forced to retreat to the lonely city. In desperation, Zhang Shicheng chose to commit suicide and ended his life.
Zhang Shicheng's failure is not only a tragedy of personal fate, but also the inevitable result of his inferior literary and martial arts. His failure reminds us that in the torrent of history, personal efforts are important, but more important is to conform to the trend of the times and constantly improve our ability and quality.
From Zhang Shicheng's story, we can draw several inspirations:
First, the vision and mind of the leader determine the success or failure of the cause. Although Zhang Shicheng is brave and good at fighting, he lacks long-term planning and vision, which makes his career difficult to last. Zhu Yuanzhang, on the other hand, was able to gain insight into the current situation, conform to the will of the people, and finally achieve great achievements.
Second, innovation is an inexhaustible driving force for career development. During the war, Zhang Shicheng stuck to the old rules and found it difficult to cope with the new situation. Zhu Yuanzhang, on the other hand, was able to be flexible and adaptable, constantly innovating tactics and strategies, and achieving victory.
Third, unity is the key to the success of the cause. Zhang Shicheng was arbitrary and arbitrary in leading the team, and it was difficult to gather people's hearts. Zhu Yuanzhang, on the other hand, is good at employing people, and can give full play to everyone's strengths to form a strong synergy.
Although Zhang Shicheng's failure is a sigh of relief, his story has left a profound warning to us. While looking back on history, let us constantly reflect on ourselves and strive to improve our abilities and qualities to meet the challenges of the future.
Finally, I would like to leave you with a question: If you were Zhang Shicheng, how would you choose and act in the face of an opponent like Zhu Yuanzhang? Perhaps we can find more inspiration about success and failure from this question.
