"The General's Affair: Quiet and Quiet, Ruling with Righteousness." —— Sun Wu"
The 5,000-year history of Chinese civilization has a long history, and after many wars, it has promoted the exchange and integration of cultures and formed today's splendid Chinese civilization. The frequent occurrence of wars has also produced many famous generals, such as Bai Qi, "Killing God" Bai Qi, "Door God" Wei Chigong, and so on, all of whom are very admirable generals in Chinese history, and their patriotic hearts and operational strategies are all worthy of our study and a powerful spiritual source and motivation to constantly motivate ourselves to forge ahead.
The Tang Dynasty was a dynasty in Chinese history that was very prominent in military, cultural, economic, diplomatic, scientific and technological aspects, and there were countless generals who fought mightily, but it was such a prosperous country that after Tang Taizong and Li Shimin, there was no young general who could be compared with Li Jing, Wei Chigong, Su Dingfang, Liu Renluo, and others.

The Tang Dynasty had very high achievements in political, economic, military, cultural and other aspects, and had a prosperous situation of "eight dynasties coming from all directions", and the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty was largely related to the Sui Dynasty. As we all know, the founder of the Tang Dynasty was Li Yuan, because the Sui Dynasty was faint, Li Yuan took the opportunity to launch a war, defeated the Sui Dynasty, and established the Tang Dynasty.
During the Sui Dynasty, the Grand Canal excavated penetrated the five major water systems, promoted economic development, and greatly facilitated water transportation. At the same time, the Sui Dynasty actively carried out monetary reforms, which greatly promoted the development of productive forces, and all of this laid a good foundation for the development of the Tang Dynasty.
Later, Emperor Taizong of Tang appointed talents and was humble in his counsel and adopted a series of measures to promote economic development, which greatly increased the income of residents and promoted the stable and harmonious development of society.
In addition, the Tang Dynasty also improved the imperial examination system, changed the situation that there is no cold door in the upper grade and no clan in the lower grade, and promoted the exchange and development of culture, and the emergence of the examination system also realized the flow of social classes to a certain extent, alleviated social contradictions, and promoted the harmonious and stable development of society, and the examination system also promoted social fairness and showed the development vitality of Tang Dynasty society.
In terms of diplomacy, the Tang Dynasty relied on the foundation of the Sui Dynasty to "subdue people with virtue" and promoted the friendly coexistence between the Tang Dynasty and the surrounding ethnic minorities through a series of ethnic policies such as peace and affinity, and at the same time, the opening of the Silk Road provided good conditions for economic and cultural exchanges between the Tang Dynasty and the countries in the western region.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="29" > many veterans and experienced</h1>
During the Zhenguan years of the Tang Dynasty, most of the generals under Li Shimin were gradually discovered in the chaotic era at the end of the Sui Dynasty, although they once came from different dynasties, different camps, and different nationalities, but due to Li Shimin's love of talent and various reasons, they eventually joined Li Shimin's command, and they all became the generals of the Tang Dynasty, making indelible contributions to the prosperity and stability of the Tang Dynasty, and were very powerful guardian gods in the hearts of countless Tang Dynasty people.
Li Jing, the most powerful of the many great generals of the Tang Dynasty, was born in a family of officials and eunuchs, influenced by the family environment, and was a "literary and martial talent" from an early age, and had a self-motivated heart. In several very important battles at the founding of the Tang Dynasty, Li Jing never dropped the chain, and none of the battles fell into the inferior position, and he was a very outstanding combatant and military expert, who was called Li Weigong by posterity. In addition, Li Jing went through three dynasties and was reused by Li Yuan, Li Shimin, and Li Zhi.
Another example is Su Dingfang, who fought countless battles on the battlefield when he was a teenager, but never became famous, but had very rich combat experience, when he sent troops to conquer the Western Turks, he defeated 100,000 Western Turk soldiers with 10,000 elite soldiers, which shocked countless people, and at this time, he was already sixty years old; there was also Liu Renluo, who was engaged in civilian duties, who never fought in his life, but unconsciously reversed the situation during the Tang Gaozong period, not only recovered Baekje, but also kept it in good order.
It is precisely because the Tang Dynasty has so many excellent generals that it has flourished so long.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="28" > Xue Rengui who broke the confinement</h1>
There were many generals in the Tang Dynasty, but most of them were generals who had been fighting for many years, and there were very few very young generals like Xue Rengui, for the simple reason that they appeared.
First, veteran generals have rich combat experience, the Tang Dynasty as a very prosperous country, the expansion of territory is inevitable, because the opponents are mostly good at war, such as Goryeo, veterans are very familiar with their combat habits, the advantages and disadvantages are in full view, and young generals cannot take on this big responsibility.
Second, the Tang Dynasty's door valve hierarchy is strict, because it is easy for veterans to gain the trust of Tianzi, and it is difficult for newcomers to have the opportunity to fight, coupled with the strict hierarchy, it is even more difficult.
But Xue Rengui was an exception, he put on a white robe, the fighting spirit was incomparable, so that Li Shimin focused on him at a glance, and was very proud that someone could finally replace the veteran.
However, xue Rengui, who was born ordinary, was looked at by Li Shimin differently, but it was difficult to be loved by the generals in the army, and in the Battle of Dafeichuan, Guo Zhi, who was born ordinary, did not obey the instructions, causing the Tang Dynasty army to be surrounded and suppressed by the enemy, and Xue Rengui's future was also ruined. In fact, perhaps if you understand Xue Rengui's ending, you will understand why there is no longer an answer for the young fighter.
Coupled with the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty, among the recruited soldiers, the children of the family clan are not in the minority, and the phenomenon of idle hands all day and not practicing soldiers well abounds, but they still think that their behavior is very dashing, after all, the strength of the Tang Dynasty is so strong, no one will beg for help to wage war against the Tang Dynasty, and gradually develop a conceited mentality, which is really a slippery slope.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="25" > conclusion</h1>
Heroes are born in the chaotic world, and heroes are buried in the prosperous world. The dispute has created a group of capable people to fight bravely for the country to kill the enemy, but due to the passage of time, the age of the hero has gradually increased, it is difficult to fight bravely on the battlefield, to reproduce the style of that year, and the strength of the country has also prompted countless ambitious people to bury their talents. Under the prosperity of the world, few people live in the temple and worry about their people, and those who are far away from the rivers and lakes are worried about their kings, and coveting pleasure is the true portrayal of most people.
Everything in the world has its own destination and its own destiny. As a soldier, the soldier who does not want to be a general is not a good soldier, current affairs cast heroes, but generals, heroes are not simply can be deserved, need to break through the heavy confinement, will be their lifelong learning in front of the world, let people shine, while let them always remember you, only in this way, can you succeed.
Thank you for watching, paying attention to me, and learning more about it.
