Liu Xiu, the founding emperor, pacified the world and unified China, and founded Guangxu Zhongxing in the peaceful and prosperous times.

After 202 years, the Western Han Dynasty was finally usurped by consort Wang Mang in 65438 AD ... Wang Mang abolished the young emperor at that time, called himself emperor, changed the name of the country to new, and was called the new dynasty in history. The Western Han Dynasty perished. After Wang Mang came to power, various policies were unpopular and brought great disasters to the people. Finally, fifteen years later, the new dynasty buried by Wang was overthrown by the peasant uprising. Two years later, another member of the Liu family proclaimed himself emperor and established the Eastern Han Dynasty, which revived the Han family. This man is Liu Xiu, Emperor Guangwu of Han Dynasty. Uncle Wen was born in 6 BC and died in 57 AD. He was born in Cai Yang, Nanyang, and is the ninth grandson of Liu Bang, the ancestor of Emperor Gaozu. He is gentle, respectful and polite, and is known as a "sincere person". He has been to Chang 'an, imperial academy, visited teachers and made friends with celebrities. After returning from Chang 'an, he changed to the grain business and became a big businessman. In the last few years of Xinmang, peasant uprisings against Wangmang broke out all over the country. Liu Xiu and his brother Liu Tuan also revolted in Chunling and joined the rebels.

In the winter of the same year, Liu Xiu and Liu Bian joined forces with insurgents such as Xinshi and Linping to oppose the follwed regime. Both Liu Xiu and Liu Bian are very talented. They commanded the outlaw hero to win several battles in a row and soon occupied Nanyang area. However, the leaders of the outlaws were jealous of their talents and made another family of the Liu family the son of heaven, the so-called "fresh emperor". Feng Wang, Wang Chang, Liu Xiu and other emperors were cited, and Kunyang was taken from the north. At this time, Wang Mang was very afraid and besieged the rebels. Kunyang is a barrier to the north of Wancheng, and it is also a traffic artery. Whether Kunyang can be saved is of great significance. At that time, the total number of insurgents in Kunyang City was only 89,000, which was outnumbered compared with Wang Mang's new army. At that time, some rebel generals saw that the enemy was so powerful and suggested quitting Kunyang. At this critical moment, 29-year-old Liu Xiu stepped forward, righteously analyzed the situation, insisted that everyone should work together in Qi Xin and stick to Kunyang, and put forward a set of careful and courageous military plans to defend the city, mobilize troops, counterattack and win. The insurgents adopted Liu Xiu's military plan.

In order to shake the morale of Wang Mang's army, they sent people to lie about the good news of liu dasheng in the city, and deliberately threw the good news to Wang Mang's army to meet them. As expected, Wang Mang's army was out of chaos, but the insurgents were more courageous. Then, Liu Xiu cooperated with the rebels in the city, defeated Wang Mang's army and killed his general Wang Xun. This is the famous "Kunyang Victory" in the history of our country, and it is a famous typical war example in the military history of our country. In this great war, the command gains and losses of the opposing sides are the main reasons for winning or losing. Liu Xiu led a division to rescue Kunyang, concentrated his forces and hit the enemy's key points, which was superior to the enemy in tactics and made the situation change greatly. In the first world war in Kunyang, the main force of Wang Mang's army was lost, and Wang Mang was defeated. Liu Xiu played a decisive role in the military activities to overthrow the Xin Mang dynasty. Liu Bian and Liu Xiu played an important role in the war to conquer Wancheng and Kunyang. However, Liu Xuan, the first emperor, was afraid that their brother's fame would be too great and pose a threat to himself, so he killed Liu Ji and his master Liu Ji under the pretext.

Liu Xiu knew that his strength was not strong enough at that time, and he was single-handedly unable to compete with the original emperor. He had to go to Wancheng with tears and apologize to the original emperor. Although his heart is full of sadness and anger, on the surface, he pretends to be indifferent to his brother's murder and does not mourn for him. Tears only secretly flow at midnight. When talking to Liu Xuan's subordinates, he only blames himself and never boasts about his contribution. In this way, he won the trust of the original emperor, was worshipped as general Lu, and was named Wu Xinhou. In September of 23 AD, when Liu Xuan, the first emperor, sent troops to tackle key problems, people in Chang 'an responded in succession and killed Wang Mang. Qin Shihuang worshipped as a teacher and asked him to pacify Hebei. Since then, Liu Xiu has started his independent activities. When Liu Xiu crossed the river to the north, Xian Di didn't deploy troops, only let him take Feng Yi, Wang Ba, Tiaoqi, You Zhu and other generals and a few attache. Liu Xiu followed the advice of Deng Yu and Feng Yi. Wherever he went, he always inspected officials first, repatriated prisoners, abolished tyranny, and paid great attention to gathering people's hearts.

His practices won the hearts of the people and were generally welcomed by people along the way. At that time, the situation in Hebei was chaotic, and the envoys sent by Emperor Chiang Kai-shek had different orders and could not be implemented. When Liu Xiu visited Hebei, the situation was also very difficult. However, with the support of a group of Hebei bureaucrats, he quickly eliminated Wang Lang, a separatist force in Handan who pretended to be the son of Emperor Han, and incorporated other armies, establishing an army with strict discipline and single-minded command. After he destroyed Wang Lang, he initially controlled the situation in Hebei and completed the mission of pacifying Hebei. In June of AD 25, he proclaimed himself emperor, with the title of Han, changed to Yuan Jianwu, and soon moved to Luoyang, which is known as the Eastern Han Dynasty. After Liu Xiu proclaimed himself emperor, he was not satisfied with being the "Emperor of Copper Horse" in Hebei. He is going to win Chang 'an and unify the whole country.

However, at that time, the situation in the whole country was very chaotic, with warlordism, peasant uprising, constant war and no peace. This made Liu feel that the task of reunifying China was urgent and arduous. After analyzing the situation at that time, Liu Xiu felt that there were many separatist forces and it was not easy to destroy them at once. Therefore, with a strategic vision, Liu Xiu adopted a military strategy of attacking from afar and attacking from near, so that the enemies could contain and consume each other, and then concentrate their main forces and defeat them one by one. After more than ten years of war, in 40 AD, Liu Xiu finally unified China. Liu Xiufu was honored as Emperor Guangwu of Han Dynasty after his death, because he inherited and carried forward the domineering spirit and outstanding martial arts of Emperor Wudi of Han Dynasty. After Liu Xiu proclaimed himself emperor, he adopted many harsh and cruel laws in Wang Mang's period and replaced them with a more relaxed and moderate legal system.

These policies and measures are very beneficial and effective to the national economy and people's livelihood. Therefore, after the reunification of the whole country, there soon appeared a prosperous situation in which singing and dancing rose, warehouses were full, people lived in peace and the world was at peace. This is the "Guangxu Zhongxing" in history. Historically, Liu Xiu was a wise king who knew people well and made good use of them. He was also a studious man who was good at coachable. His ability to pacify the world, unify China and create a peaceful and prosperous world is inseparable from his moral quality. Liu Xiu is generous and sincere to his deputies. Therefore, his subordinates, whether military commanders who are good at fighting or civil servants who govern the country through the world, can almost be loyal to their duties. He also has clear reward and punishment measures, often rewarding honest officials who enforce the law like mountains and cracking down on corrupt officials in bending the law. It is his virtue and virtue that make him another wise king of the Liu family who started the country and revived his glory.
