Wang Meng may be the only hero in Chinese history whose achievements are greater than those of Zhuge Liang
Zhuge Liang has become the embodiment of wisdom in the legends of Chinese history. His literary skills, military strategy, and loyalty to the country can be described as There has never been one before, and there will be no one after. However, when reading Chinese history, I found that in Chinese history, even though Zhuge Liang seems to be unmatched in folklore, in the real history, I at least found one person who was both literary, Taoist and military, and loyal and brave for the country. It seems that they all surpass Zhuge Liang, and whether it is their growth experience or the environment they live in, they are very similar to Zhuge Liang, but their great achievements in life are not even higher than Zhuge Liang's. This person is the Five Hus and Sixteenth of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Wang Meng, the prime minister and general of the former Qin Dynasty during the Qin Dynasty. Why is it said that Wang Meng is the only person in Chinese history who has surpassed Zhuge Liang? We can analyze it from the following seven aspects:
First, they were both born in war-torn times. Zhuge Liang was born in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. At that time, China was in an era of warlord warfare, while Wang Meng was born in the Eastern Jin Dynasty during the Five Hus and Sixteen Kingdoms period. It was also an era of warlord warfare. The two had basically similar backgrounds.
The second is that both of them have gathered their talents and are waiting for a wise king. At that time, Zhuge Liang cultivated Nanyang, read poetry and books, and surveyed the world. He had a great ideal of serving the country. He was known as Wolong in the world, and he was waiting for a wise king to be heard by the princes. In his youth, Wang Meng also observed the changes in the war, studied hard, and absorbed a wide range of knowledge, especially in governance and military affairs. He was cautious and solemn, deep and resolute, ambitious, and extraordinary. Xu Tong of Later Zhao was surprised when he saw it. , asked him to come out of the mountain, but he evaded and refused to answer. He lived in seclusion in Huashan Mountain in Xiyue, expecting the Ming Lord to appear, and waiting for the changes in the situation before taking action.
Thirdly, the two of them also met the Mingzhu at a critical moment. Zhuge Liang finally waited until Liu Bei came out of the mountain after visiting the thatched cottage three times, and shocked Liu Bei with Longzhong's countermeasures. From then on, Liu Bei was like a fish in water, Zhuge Liang also heard about it among the princes, and Liu Bei, who had the weakest auxiliary power, finally had one-third of the world. Wang Meng finally waited for Fu Jian, talked about the world, talked about the rise and fall of major events, speculated every word, and helped Fu Jian establish the former Qin in one fell swoop. Although the former Qin Dynasty was the weakest among the many regimes at this time, its future was immeasurable because of Wang Meng.
Fourth is the governance of the country, Wang Meng is even better than Zhuge Liang. Zhuge Liang has a long-standing reputation for governing the country. However, when Zhuge Liang helped Liu Bei govern the country, he was rebuilding on the ruins of the overthrow of Liu Zhang's regime. Although it was difficult, it was a blank piece of paper on which he could write new rules. Therefore, Zhuge Liang's Part One "Shu Ke" can order the entire Shu Han to make the country legal and feasible. Zhuge Liang is unique in dealing with ethnic issues, promoting the integration and unity of the nation, vigorously developing production, and allowing the people to live and work in peace and contentment. However, Shu Han still cannot escape the fate of being the weakest among the Three Kingdoms. Wang Meng's governance was implemented under the complex background of the old forces. Is it comparable to that of Shu Han? Wang Meng, with the support of Fu Jian, implemented four systems. One is that guilty must be punished, talented people must be appointed, and punished A large number of old bureaucrats have been eliminated and a large number of new talents have been promoted; the second is to organize education and cultivate talents; the third is to adjust ethnic relations and promote ethnic integration so that all ethnic groups are equal; the fourth is to build water conservancy projects and reward farmers and mulberry trees, which has greatly With the rapid development of social production, the weak former Qin Dynasty finally became the most powerful political power in the north.
Fifth, Zhuge Liang can hardly compare with Wang Meng in military terms. Zhuge Liang's greatest military achievement was the Southern Expedition, which quelled the rebellion of the southern ethnic minorities. However, the five Northern Expeditions resulted in almost no victory, and in the end he failed to obtain a piece of land for the Shu Han. Wang Meng's military achievements are that he must conquer every attack, win every battle, and never lose. Although the former Qin was surrounded by enemies on all sides at that time, through political and military means, the Xiongnu Liu tribe, Wuhuan Dugu tribe, Xianbei Meiyi cadres and Tuoba tribe were successively surrendered, and then they defeated Qianliang and eliminated the former Yan. , and finally made the Xianbei Qifu tribe in Longxi, Tuyuhun and other regimes between Gansu and Qinghai surrender. From 366 AD to 376 AD, it took ten years to pacify all the northern regimes in one fell swoop, and finally unified the north. Qin ranked seventh in the world. Directly confront the southern power of the Eastern Jin Dynasty.
