The imperial examination was repeatedly ranked second and excluded from the system. Why did Zuo want to counterattack and be a military minister?

Left Command Battle Author: Lai He is the last beautiful scenery in the sunset of Qing Dynasty. If you look at his life, you will find that life before the age of 40 is full of dullness, but the rest of his life is full of legends. There are always people who lament that life is hopeless after 40. Before the age of 40, if you carefully observe Zuo's life track, you will find that he hesitated for the first half of his life, with no hope and no progress in life. If the family is 40 years old and still in its early years, the wife who complains about her husband can look at it. What did you do from the age of 20 to 40? How unlucky was he before he turned 40? But he was not in the imperial examination system, but at the age of 69, he became a military official. At sunset, Mito 1 God closes a door for you, so that you can see that window with the widest vision. Zuo was smart since childhood and had dreams in his youth. 18 16 (twenty-one years of Jiaqing), during his study in Changsha, the provincial capital, he won the second place with excellent results. In his youth, he was frivolous and arrogant, boasting that Zhuge Liang is today, and often calling himself "bright today" and "old bright". Studying in the provincial capital, I have the opportunity to contact more different books, and I have a strong interest in China's history, geography, military affairs, economy, water conservancy and other contents. His masterpieces, Collection of Classics of Emperors in Past Dynasties, Diseases of Counties and Countries in the World, Summary of Reading History Books, Waterway Outline, etc., are all regarded as treasures. Obviously, he was seriously partial to stereotyped writing in the imperial examination! The lecture hall of Xiangshui School was opened in Changsha, Hunan Province, founded by Wu Rongguang, governor of Hunan Province. At that time, it was a very small number of pragmatists, with practical courses and a new style of study. 183 1 year, left to study in Jingshang, Xiangshui School, with excellent results. In this year's exam, he ranked first seven times, which reflected his extraordinary talent in this field. He has done quite well in this respect, but his performance in the eight-part essay is not satisfactory. 1832 in the rural examination held in Changsha, the provincial capital, an examiner died suddenly and unexpectedly, and the examiner was responsible for repeated audits before gaining the reputation of a juror. Just when his family had high hopes, Zuo's next performance was disappointing: he failed the exam three times in six years. To make matters worse, 1835, Zuo went to a meeting again, and turned out to be the 15 in Hunan Province. I didn't expect him to be removed because there were too many people, and he was also dubbed "transcription" with a nice name. Well, it's no use at all. As a passport to enter the official career at that time, the imperial examination undoubtedly closed the door for him to display his talents. Imperial examination, showing off and serving the country, obviously this road has been difficult to get through. There is a phenomenon in biology. Research shows that the hearing of blind people is much more sensitive than that of ordinary people. God closes a door for you just to open a window with a wide view for you. Zuo's sculpture "2 Down and Out Life" is conducive to the study of pragmatism. He has been a scholar for generations, and his family was originally good. However, his mother died when he was 0/5 years old, and his father left three years later. In addition, he is the youngest, and at one time he became an orphan who lost his parents or even his source of livelihood. During this period, poverty and poverty, coupled with the drought in those years, crops often failed, and even eating became a problem. Fortunately, he and Zuo's father were classmates and had a good relationship. Zuo Guanlan was engaged to him and Zhou when Zuo was very young. But times have changed, and the two families are very different. By this time, Zhou Xiyu had passed away, and his wife, Wang Ciyun, was a knowledgeable and capable person. See the left family down and out, marry the past, and your daughter suffer? The Zuo family has three brothers, while the Zhou family has only three daughters. Only by persuading Zuo to come to his house to marry and adopt children can we have the best of both worlds. This "son-in-law" is embarrassing for Zuo anyway. This is evidenced by Zuo's poems: he lived in Xiangtan for nine years as a family member, and he was ashamed to live in the next place. However, this is the door-to-door son-in-law for thirteen years. In the old secular view, it is not a beautiful thing for a man to be a son-in-law. I feel wronged in my heart, but I can't help it! Fortunately, Zhou is knowledgeable and sensible, and she is also a talented young woman. She is hardworking and virtuous, and her husband and wife love each other. In the meantime, I failed the exam three times, and my family spent a lot of money. Zuo feels embarrassed. In order to avoid the suspicion that outsiders "eat soft rice", Zuo moved out of his "home" and went to the west wing. How can Zhou, who is virtuous and smart, be puzzled by these actions? Zuo wrote a self-named portrait of 29 years old in eight chapters. She responded to four of them: "Jessica Hester Hsuan's brow is lonely and red, correcting the spirit of sea cranes." After many twists and turns, Shu actually wanted to rise the morning sun. In the Qing dynasty, the virtuous and handsome had nowhere to escape, and it was easy to retreat from the mountain. Tree art and sericulture are far away, and the origin of Wang Dao is farming and mulberry. "Zhou family didn't complain at all. Zhou Zhiduan wrote a poem instead, explaining that the imperial examination was not the only way to comfort him since ancient times. You will often meet the best person at some point in your life and light the brightest light for you in the darkest days of your life. Thanks to you, the world is really big. Zuo also wrote "Don't Seek the Future with the Imperial Examination", and since then he has devoted himself to the pursuit of true talents and practical learning, and deeply cultivated the book of practical application. In the past, Zuo boasted that he was proficient in the art of war, compared himself to Zhuge Liang, and often called himself "the Ming of today." Here, changing its name to Hunan farmers is the beginning of convergence and impetuousness. With ""not half an acre, I am worried about the world; Read through thousands of books, make friends with the ancients and encourage yourself. Finally, Zuo bought a field and built a house in his hometown with his salary accumulated from teaching in Anhua for eight years. 13 got rid of the career of a door-to-door son-in-law, finally got a real home of her own, and felt the boldness of a man. During the period of helping to manage the affairs of Taoists, he read extensively the books of Taoists, managed Liu Zhuang, studied agronomy, studied the situation in Xinjiang, and paid close attention to the Opium War. Besides, Zuo is over 36 years old, and he really can't see anything out of line in his ordinary life. However, through his efforts to master practical and pragmatic ideas, especially geographical knowledge, he made positive preparations for his military career and spectacular energy explosion in the future. Zuo's wife is a late bloomer, and Lin Zexu didn't return to China until June 1850. It was in this year that he and Zuo met on a boat in Changsha. The two talked all night, covering the ancient and modern situation, praising each other's knowledge and everything they did. Half a life has passed, and finally a great man affirmed his talent. It was at this time that his life began to change. That was 1852, when the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom troops besieged Changsha. At that time, Zuo came out of the mountain at the invitation of Hunan Governor Zhang. Zuo braved the bullets and entered the city. When Zhang got the savior, he handed over all the military posts to Zuo full-time care. Left day and night to actively mediate, showing his military talent, finally made the Taiping Army besieged Changsha for three months and withdrew to the north. Zuo Yisheng's fame began to kick off. At this time, Zuo was nearly forty years old. With the support of Luo and Zeng Guofan, Zuo eliminated the disadvantages, increased revenue and reduced expenditure, stabilized the currency, vigorously raised arms purchases, and rectified military discipline, which made full preparations for the later Xiang Army. From 1852 to 1873: completely pacify the Taiping Army; Cultivate shipbuilding technology and naval talents. Established Fuzhou Shipping Bureau (also known as Mawei Shipping Bureau) and became the first new shipyard in China; Lead the army to quell the rebellion and suppress the Nian army; There is a mantra: Hunan is indispensable in the world and Hunan is indispensable in the left. This proves the left's military superiority and reliability. It didn't stop until he was 6 1 year old. At the age of 62, Empress Dowager Cixi awarded a bachelor's degree. Maybe this time she realized Zuo's dream of imperial examination. Where would you be now if you didn't rely on your own strength? Carrying a coffin and vowing to recover Xinjiang, his most beautiful moment is fixed at the age of 62 to 70. He pushed his way through the crowd to convince the court of the importance of recovering Xinjiang. At the age of 70, he carried a coffin and vowed to go out and recover Xinjiang, wiped out the Akuba forces that invaded Xinjiang, and successively recovered northern and southern Xinjiang, making contributions to the great cause of territorial integrity of later generations. After Xinjiang returned to the territory, it wrote to the imperial court to establish a province, and formulated a series of policies conducive to national unity economically and politically. Zeng Guofan: I am not as left as in On War; Dedicated to serving the country, with high season as the crown. The country is fortunate to have left. Even Li Hongzhang, who has always been at odds, has to evaluate: 30 years of getting along, harmony but difference, arrogance and indisputable, only Mr. knows me; Yao Yao nine imperial edicts, govern the internal affairs by Wen, govern the appearance by Wu, and cherish the public for the world. The premise of recovering Xinjiang 4 and hunting for a magnificent life is to lay a good foundation for a lifetime of hard work. There are always people who lament that after 40 years old, they have no hope for life and give up their efforts too early. If you carefully look at Zuo's life track, you will find that he hesitated back and forth in the first half of his life, and there was no hope and no progress in life. In fact, under the blank of his years, he is working tirelessly. The calm fate before the age of 40 laid the groundwork for his pragmatic struggle. After the age of 40, he repeatedly made outstanding achievements, and it was not until his sixties that he climbed to the position of military affairs minister. Who would have thought that he would be mediocre before he was 40? Some people say that standing at the age of 40, before the age of 40, mediocrity is doomed to be dull in the second half of life, and before the age of 40, it is the retreat of life. Jiang Taigong still achieved nothing in the first half of his sixties. He fished by the river with a fishing rod and talked nonsense all day about "people who want to take the bait" Finally, when he was in his seventies and eighties, Zhou Wenwang invited him out of the mountain. Later, Jiang Taigong assisted Zhou Wenwang and Zhou Wuwang, made great achievements, cut down merchants and destroyed them, and established an inheritance of 800 years. 65438-0969, Chinese Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine accepted the research task of antimalarial drugs, and Tu Youyou was the head of the science and technology group. During artemisinin research, there was no progress for three years, and it failed 190 times; 20 15 10, Tu Youyou won the nobel prize in physiology or medicine at the age of 85; Left, because its name "Tang" means, commonly known as reading. Deciduous trees The fruit is small, astringent and has no edible value. How can it be understood that his father kept his name so small? However, he refused to admit defeat, refused to be a loser, boasted that he was Zhuge Liang today, and often called himself "the bright future of today" and "the bright future of the past", struggling to save face for this cowhide that was almost blown out for most of his life. He was not in the imperial examination system, but at the age of 69, he became a military official. Don't always feel sorry for yourself in life, "old age"! Don't be disappointed when you encounter difficulties. Ordinary doesn't matter. What matters is whether you have tried or not. The first half of his life was blank, but the second half was magnificent, but it was his unremitting efforts that laid a magnificent life. Who said that the magnificent rosy clouds at sunset did not move?
