In the late Qing Dynasty, there were four outstanding figures known as the four famous ministers of Zhongxing, they were Zeng Guofan, Zuo Zongtang, Hu Linyi and Peng Yulin.
I was fortunate to read the first and second volumes of "Qing Officials: Peng Yulin, a Famous Minister of the Late Qing Dynasty" written by Mr. Lin Jiapin, with a total of more than 800 pages. In the process of reading, various emotions such as pity, admiration, emotion, and powerlessness keep appearing. also understands why the author uses the Qing official to "label" Peng Yulin.
When he was young, he was "eaten out of the house" by his relatives, and he saw all the sorrows in the world. Because I've been in the rain, I want to hold an umbrella for others. Especially after more than a month, walking thousands of miles to the garrison of Zeng Guofan, and seeing the scene along the way, he knew the importance of "the people's hearts and minds".
Sympathy for the suffering of the people is a good thought in his heart. It is also because of the good thoughts engraved in his bones that he inadvertently saved the injured "medicine farmer" from man-made disasters.
Once lost, know how to cherish the present. He matched the marriages of the people around him, and told him that "life is like an opportunity, when the opportunity comes, don't be bound by old habits, make a decision at the right time, and don't leave regrets." ”
Peng Yulin can be literate and martial, he has the identity of a showman, is intelligent, gives advice, thinks about Zhou Xiang, and has martial arts, can arrange troops, and take the lead.
Xiangtan's defeat of Lin Shaozhang, Junshan's killing of Gong Sanming, Pengtai's defeat of the enemy's formation, Xuanhu Port's repulsion of Wei Zhijun, the attack on Hukou Kemeijiazhou, Peng Lang's recapture of his sister-in-law's return, and the strategy of "Ercheng" crossing the river to break the "encirclement of Wei and save Zhao" are all indispensable for his tricks and skillful use of troops.
To break the enemy, Peng Yulin has a set. To punish filthy officials, Peng Yulin will not be soft.
In order to open up the waterway of Poyang Lake, he suggested to Zeng Guofan to rectify military discipline, but he never imagined that the first knife would be cut at his nephew. Full of Zhuge Liang's sorrow of tears and slashing horses, he resolutely said: "If the army is not governed, how can you defend the country?" The law is unforgiving. ”
He was ordered to patrol the Yangtze River and rectify the sailors. He slashed his knife at his former subordinate again.
After beheading Li Hongzhang's nephew, he buried a deep hidden danger for the death of his only son.
His talent and character were deeply trusted by Zeng Guofan, the commander of the Hunan army, and occupied an important position in Zeng Guofan's mind. Zeng Guofan is also a talented Bole, he did not hide or suppress Peng Yulin's achievements, reported to the official family in time, and Peng Yulin was promoted all the way.
But what puzzled everyone was that Peng Yulin resigned all the way: "Resign eight times, please fire the vacancy nine times, and please fire the envoy six times." ”
The official position, which was regarded as a fat shortage, became a hot yam in his hands. He kept in mind that when he first joined the Hunan army, he made an oath of "no officials, no money, no life", "starting with a cold soldier and ending with a cold soldier".
Therefore, his residence is a thatched building, called "retreat hermitage". Retreat, retreat and stry, save yourself, and keep the Confucian style.
He has been poor all his life, "he has been in a high position for decades, and he has not forgotten the hairpin of the year", "he does not marry a concubine, does not enter the flower building, does not drink flower wine, does not get close to women, does not play cards and gambles, and does not chat with people." "But I always think a lot about the safety of the country.
"Lao Mei has no flowers, and her blood is pouring into the sea of ice."
