Although Liu Xiu, the founding emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty, "Guangwu Emperor", was the ninth grandson of Liu Bang, the ancestor of Han Gaozu, he did not have much family foundation in his generation. With a benevolent heart and personal talent, Liu Xiu counterattacked in the chaotic world of the Western Han Dynasty, and finally defeated the crowd and sat in the world.
Liu Xiu treated people sincerely and generously, and his words were faithful, so Ma Yuan, Dou Rong and other "Twenty-Eight Generals of Yuntai" were willing to submit, and these generals were impressed by Liu Xiu's personal personality charm, and benevolence became the key factor for Liu Xiu to win the world. In the process of unifying the world, some enemy generals had participated in the murder of his brother, but Liu Xiu was still able to surrender and treat them kindly regardless of the previous suspicions, and did not harm or embarrass these people. Because of Liu Xiu's reputation for "benevolence and righteousness", the other side's army surrendered in an endless stream. When the war was not over, he introduced a policy of benefiting the people, reducing the tax rate of the original government from one-tenth to one-tenth to one-thirtieth. Liu Xiu really let the people return to the heart of the world, and this glorious history is called "Guangwu Zhongxing".
In fact, Liu Xiu understood better than anyone that although "the gun out of power", although the army can conquer land and population, it can never conquer people's hearts! You have to make people really convinced!
Liu Xiu is worthy of being a rare "Renyi Emperor" in history!
