Forest dark grass frightening wind, general night bow. Ping Ming looked for white feathers, not in the stone edge.
Li Guang was a famous hero in the Western Han Dynasty, who became famous as a teenager, was heroic, fought against the Xiongnu, and made outstanding military achievements. However, it is regrettable that Li Guang only received the title of general until his death, and did not receive the gift of the marquis that the military general dreamed of. So why did Li Guang, a generation of famous players, fail to reach the peak of his career?
There are many theories that Li Guang failed to reach the peak of his profession, some say that he was not born at the right time, and some say that the emperor deliberately suppressed the Li family and did it, so what is the real reason? I'll give you a good talk.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > the conditions for marquisship during the Han Dynasty</h1>
Those who are not the king of the Liu clan, the whole world strikes together, and if there is no merit and does not pay attention to it, the world will condemn it.
It is said that Li Guang is a famous general of a generation, so can a famous general be crowned marquis? The answer is definitely no. In ancient times, there were only two kinds of officials in the imperial court - civilian officials and military officers, and the peak of the profession of civil officials was to be the prime minister of the dynasty, and the peak of the profession of military attaches was to be a marquis. Therefore, it is not so simple to want to be a marquis.
Take the Han Dynasty as an example, Han Gaozu Liu Bang set the ancestral precept - not Liu Shi but the king, the world strikes together, if there is no merit and do not pay attention to the hou, the world is condemned. The meaning of this sentence is:
The big Han is the old shareholders together to lay the country, our shareholders' descendants, will always enjoy the dividends brought by the development of the group, if someone behind wants to share a piece of the pie, it is not impossible, as long as he can make enough contributions to us, it can be.
From ancient times to the present, no matter which boss you work for, as long as you make achievements, the boss will still consider giving you some more dividends, and Liu Bang is not excluded. So what are the criteria for this contribution?
1. Kill and capture local generals, and you can be enfeoffed
The Han Military Law stipulates: Those who behead the generals shall be given 2,500 jin of gold and sealed 5,000 households; those who behead the generals shall be given 2,500 jin and 2,500 households; those who behead the generals shall be given 2,500 jin and 500 households.
During the Han Gaozu period, there were 5 people, Wang Feng, Yang Xi, Yang Wu, Lü Sheng, and Lü Matong, who were sealed because they received different body parts of Xiang Yu.
So if you want to be crowned, at least you have to kill or capture the enemy generals, but we look at Li Guang, although brave, but only others have captured him, but no one else has captured anyone else.
2. Generals and soldiers charge into the battlefield, break through the enemy position, and seal the marquis
The Book of Han records that the general Lou Chuan took Tui Feng to trap Jian as the general Liang Hou.
3. It depends on the ratio of the casualties of the army to the casualties of the enemy
This is very easy to understand, that is to say, you can't blindly ignore the losses and costs in order to make meritorious contributions to the war, if your casualties are more than those of the other side or the casualties of both sides are not large, even if there are other military merits, it is not necessarily a marquis.
4. It depends on the degree of coordination and cooperation between various armies and between generals and soldiers
Whether ancient or modern, the army has never been a single branch, and many times it pays attention to mutual cooperation and takes into account the overall situation. For personal reasons, Gongsun Ao did not cooperate with Huo Zhiyi according to the agreed time, not only stripped him of his post, but also demoted him to a commoner, and Zhang Qian failed to join Li Guang on time, which was the same fate.
To sum up, in the Han Dynasty, if you want to be enthroned, these 4 conditions, if you do not have full occupation, you must at least occupy one, but it is not difficult for us to find that these four are both mutually developing relations and mutually restrictive relations.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > second, the real reason why Li Guang could not be enfeoffed</h1>
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" >1, meritorious to the Great Han, but not high enough</h1>
Now that we know the criteria for the marquis of the Han Dynasty, let's take a look at Li Guang's performance on the battlefield. Have you wronged him? According to historical records, the total can be summarized into the following 7 sentences:
During the reign of Emperor Wen of Han, he beheaded many Xiongnu first ranks and promoted zhonglang.
Hunting with Emperor Wen of Han, killing beasts was praised.
In the rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms, changyi city captured the flag, although this is a top achievement, it is a pity that it is not the head of the opposing general.
The Xiongnu were besieged and cleverly escaped.
The Attacking Huns were captured and cleverly escaped.
Attacking the Xiongnu, fighting bitterly, and escaping by chance.
The army is loose, so the soldiers like to follow him
According to historical records, Li Guang fought against the Xiongnu more than 70 times in his lifetime, showed bravery and martial arts, and killed many enemies in the great war with the Xiongnu, but unfortunately they were all small minions, no big people, so they did not meet the standards of the marquis.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" >2, with two hearts, not loyal enough</h1>
During the Rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms of Wu and Chu, Li Guang followed Zhou Yafu to quell the war, and not only took the banner at Changyi City, made great contributions, and also rescued the King of Liang. In order to express Li Guang's life-saving grace, the King of Liang gave him a golden seal, and Li Guang accepted it.
What does it mean that You Li Guang was a general of the Great Han Dynasty and accepted the military seal of a prince? Is it to conspire with the princes for something? Ancient emperors were suspicious, and it was strange not to suspect that Li Guang had two hearts.
Moreover, Li Guang's behavior is not unintentional, because Li Guang is not a "stupid white sweet". Li Guang was born into a famous family, his ancestors were the famous qin general Li Xin, his grandfather was a meritorious official in the early Han Dynasty, the official bai Hedong Taishou, his grandfather was influenced by the yin official Bai Longxi Taishou, his father was ordered by the yin official Bai Chengji County, and in Li Guang's generation, he had been an official in the dynasty for 4 consecutive generations, so since he was a child in the family of official eunuchs, it was impossible not to understand that the emperor had many doubts in his heart and did not understand the basic political rules.
Li Guang accepted liang wang jinyin, seemingly unintentionally, but in fact he did it intentionally, trying to tell the boss through this move, if you don't give me a promotion again, I will jump ship.
<h1 class = "pgc-h-arrow-right" >3, individual-centered, regardless of the interests of the group</h1>
In the first chapter of the TV series "Meritorious Service", when talking about Mr. Li Yannian, there was a squad leader who liked to engage in personal heroism, and when he fought a war, he only cared about killing the enemy, but he completely left his soldiers behind, regardless of their life and death, nor did he care about the entire war situation, and he only had the idea of killing more enemies and being a hero in his heart.
Li Guang was also such a person, and in his many battles with the Xiongnu, he also only cared to show his heroism, regardless of whether he could win the battle or whether he would go deep into the enemy's belly and fall into danger.
Li Guang's personal heroism is a typical example that is not suitable for leadership, if such a person is in a high position, it will definitely bring immeasurable losses, which is like some of the company's sales crowns, not only grab customers, but also firmly grasp the customer resources in their own hands, completely disregard the overall situation, thrive, and slowly the entire team atmosphere will be made up, and the performance will definitely cross.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > third, Sima Qian is the real reason for Li Guangming's unfairness</h1>
Li Guang is difficult to seal, this is Sima Qian's grievances for Li Guang, then Li Guang on the one hand does not meet the criteria for the title of marquis, on the other hand, there is still a suspicion of lack of loyalty, so why should Sima Qian be unfair to Li Guangming? This has to talk about the entanglement of interests between the ancient family clan and the self-made Xiaobai.
As the old saying goes, those who win the hearts and minds of the people win the world. But I don't think so, in ancient times, the one who got the master won the world.
In ancient times, the most powerless people were the common people, not only did they not have the right to speak, if they encountered a brutal king, even if they rose up to resist, it would be difficult to achieve great things, do not believe that look at the peasant revolts in ancient history, which one was absolutely successful? They were all lifted high and finally fell heavily, from the Dazexiang Uprising of Chen Shengwang Guang to the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom of Hong Xiuquan in the Qing Dynasty, without exception.
So why did the ancient peasant revolt end in failure? The reason is simple - there is no foundation, no family support, the traditional so-called height of thought is not high enough, in my opinion is not the most important reason.
If you think about it, the change of each dynasty in ancient China, in fact, there is a shadow of the scholar class behind it, which can be said to be the result of their choice, for example, the change from the Sui Dynasty to the Tang Dynasty, fundamentally speaking, it is a result of the Longxi nobles dissatisfied with the Sui Dynasty monarchs, thus finding someone to replace.
Sima Qian also belongs to the scholar class, and Li Guang also belongs to the traditional scholar class, fundamentally speaking, Li Guang and Sima Qian are "a family", and like Wei Qing and Huo Zhiyi, who started from scratch, actually came to grab the interests of the scholar family, in ancient times, they all put the family first, no matter how noble people, in the face of class family affairs, always choose to stand on their own class ranks.
In Sima Qian's view, Li Guang was born in the traditional scholar-doctor class, heroic, and dedicated himself to the country, but in the end it was a great regret that he could not be crowned a marquis, and the boss did not have long eyes, which was just like Sima Qian himself, with ambition but no ambition, and the two were the same disease.
In other words, Sima Qian was secretly satirizing the current dynasty--forgetting the book!
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > written at the end</h1>
The more time goes on, the more we will find that many things are not as simple as we know, just like "Li Guang is difficult to seal", it seems that Li Guang is not ambitious, in fact, he has problems, it seems that the dynasties and dynasties are complaining for him, in fact, the voices of the dynasties have always been the class of scholars.
