First of all, his native place is a muddled bad debt.
Zhang Yao was born in 1832. The Draft of Qing History says that Zhang Yao "went to Shangyu first, changed his nationality to Daxing, and then returned to Qiantang", which means that he was originally from Shangyu, Zhejiang Province, and later changed to Daxing, and soon changed to Qiantang. Why change your native place? The language is vague. The Draft of Qing History is an official history book. It is extremely rare for a celebrity's native place to be unclear, but Zhang Yao met it.
Zhang Yao's family is poor, so he has no chance to study. He wandered the streets when he was young. Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces are prosperous and gambling is extremely prosperous. Zhang Yao worked in the casino all day and became a rogue. One day, I met a relative named Chen. Relatives hated iron and gave him a good scolding. Zhang Yao felt humiliated and couldn't get along in this area, so he ran to Gushi, Henan Province to find his uncle Kuai and Sun.
Kuai and Sun are the county decrees of Gushi. Knowing that Zhang Yao can't read is useless, he didn't arrange any errands, just let him eat a bowl of idle rice in the yamen.
If nothing happens, Zhang Yao will spend his life in the yamen of Happy Uncle Sun. However, at this time, the Nian Army rose fiercely in Henan and soon hit the vicinity of Gushi. The squire in Gushi panicked and collected some money for Kuai and Sun. Kuai and Sun stepped forward and raised 300 Yong Lian.
The line is up. Who will lead the team? There was chaos at that time, and no one wanted to lead the team. Zhang Yao volunteered, but Zhang Yao couldn't find anyone, so he had to agree.
Zhang Yao didn't take the team for a few days before Nian Jun rushed in. Kuai and Sun panicked, but Zhang Yao was as cool as a cucumber. He thinks that these 300 people are too few to defend the city. It's better to ambush Nian Jun outside the city, but Nian Jun doesn't know the truth or the truth, otherwise it will retreat unexpectedly and keep the safety of Gushi City.
Kuai and Sun have nothing to do, so they have to keep their words.
That night, Zhang Yao quietly left the city with 300 people and raided the Nian military camp in the middle of the night. At the same time, the city of Gushi was full of noise and cheers. Nian Jun was attacked. I don't know how many Qing troops there are, so I got flustered and lost.
At that time, when Prince Sengqin rushed to help with his cavalry, he found that the Qing army was chasing the Nian army. Before, only the Nian army chased the Qing army.
Prince SengQin admired Zhang Yao very much. On the recommendation of Prince Sanchin, Zhang Yao was awarded Lanling. Later, Kuai and Sun were transferred to other places, and Zhang Yao made up for his shortcomings, and was awarded the position of Gushi county magistrate and entered the officialdom.
Zhang Yao was brave and good at fighting, and repeatedly repelled the attack of the Nien Army. His official position is also "sesame blossoms are rising day by day", and he has served as magistrate, county magistrate and Taoist platform. 186 1 year, official of Henan province.
At this moment, the suggestion Liu Yunan reported to the court that Zhang Yao was "illiterate". How can he be an envoy in charge of a province's finance and civil affairs? When the court found this to be true, it transferred Zhang Yao from a political envoy to a company commander. Company commanders rank is second-class, higher than the deployment, but the status is far less than the latter, so Zhang Yao is very depressed.
Zhang Yao learned a lesson from this painful experience and began to study and read carefully. He engraved the seal of the word "illiterate" and carried it with him to encourage himself to study hard.
After studying hard, Zhang Yao has made great progress in his studies, and his calligraphy is as good as imitation. Later, because of his outstanding military achievements, he once again changed from a military attache to a civilian, and the official went to the governor of Shandong. There is no governor in Shandong, and the governor is equal to the governor. In addition, he is the river chief and the prefect.
This is another story, not here. Peter said that when Zhang Yao was still an official in Henan, a very familiar person-Liu Yunan came. When Liu Yunnan was working in Feng Ying Road, Anhui Province, he was impeached, lost his official hat and returned to his hometown in Xiangfu, Henan Province. When Liu Yunan was desperate, he came to please Zhang Yao.
Everyone thinks that Zhang Yao is going to laugh at Liu Yunan. Unexpectedly, Zhang Yao received him warmly and thoughtfully and gave him a gift. Not only that, every time Zhang Yao writes to Liu Yunan, he has to put a small seal of "illiterate" at the end.
Some people also wrote a poem about it: "Go back to fuck the golden harp and ring the bell to clean up this matter." Rivers and mountains are used for chanting. Who says the general is illiterate? "
This is a well-known story inside and outside the ruling party and the opposition party.
