Brother Liu, a fortune teller

As we all know, Liu Xiu, the founding emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty, turned out to be just a young man who was keen on agriculture. He was dragged by his brother Liu and took part in the uprising at the end of the new dynasty. Ada once compared himself to his ancestor Liu Bang and laughed at Liu Xiu as Liu Jiao (Liu Bang's younger brother) who served crops. History has played a big joke. This time, it was not Liu Bang who succeeded, but Liu Jiao, a plowman! After leading the outlaw hero to annihilate the main force of Xin Mang regime, Ada failed to taste the fruits of victory, and Liu Xuan, a clan brother, rose to be emperor, while Ada died in the infighting of "revolutionary brothers"! The outlaw hero is actually a loose alliance composed of four armed forces. According to the territorial division of the players, some of them are called "recruits", and the leaders are Wang Kuang, Wang Feng and Ma Wu. Some of them are called "Xiajiang Soldiers", and the leaders are Dan, Wang Chang. Some of them are called "Lin Pingjun", and the leaders are Mu Chen and Liao Zhan. The fourth part is the "Fuling Army" of Liu Xiu's brothers in Ada. Stills: Before Ada joined the Fuling Army, the three teams fought on their own, much like Xiao Qiang. After a fight, they broke up, turned around and came back to life, and survived by robbing everywhere. With the help of Wang Chang, the leader, Ada persuaded three teams to work together with Fuling Army, first annihilating 20,000 main troops of the new dynasty in Lan Xiang, and then taking Nanyang and Xinye, the important towns of Nanyang. In the most crucial Kunyang War, Xin Mang regime was the most elite and the last one. 400,000 troops were wiped out by outlaw heroes! The battle of Kunyang is actually a knife to kill the xinmang regime! Therefore, it is Ada who has brought qualitative changes to this "rogue" team. He is a worthy leader. However, when they decided to choose a son of the Liu family as emperor, it was not chosen, but unknown! After Liu Xuan became emperor, he even killed Ada at the instigation of the hero leader of the Greenwood! Ada's death is not only a great loss to the outlaw hero, but also the collapse of Liu Xuan's regime, leaving a huge hidden danger. So, why is Ada, who has a strong private music, easily killed? Liu Xuan's apparent reason: Ada's fame made Greenwood heroes afraid of Ada's death. The Book of the Later Han Dynasty explains very simply: "The generals of Xinshi and Lin Ping indulged in pleasure, fearing the fame of Bo Sheng (Ada) and the cowardice of the greedy sage (Liu Xuan), decided to jointly formulate policies first, and then called Bo Sheng to express his opinions." "Ada stately, high popularity index, he became the emperor, brothers in the future. Liu Xuan is different. He is weak and incompetent, a kind gentleman and unarmed. He is just an ordinary clerk of Ping Linjun. When he became emperor, his brothers could still count. He should have fun. So, they put aside Ada and privately agreed to play with Ada. Ada was forced to admit that he founded Liu Xuan without any defense. After Liu Xuan ascended the throne, Ada was named as Da Situ. In the subsequent battle, Ada's amazing fighting capacity and prestige made Liu Xuan and others nervous. Especially when attacking Xinye City, Lin Pingjun couldn't beat it at all. The county magistrate said above the city: "If I can get Liu Situ's promise, I will surrender and offer the city! "Sure enough, Ada arrived at the gate, Xinye massacre to defect! Stills: Ada Obviously, a crown of Liu Xuan can't stop the threat of Ada! What shall we do? Then we must kill it, and quickly! Deep-seated reasons: I am afraid that the irreconcilable contradiction between the gentry class and the peasant class is somewhat pale. The outlaw hero is a loose alliance, and the contradiction goes far beyond this. Why did you risk killing Ada? You know Ada's department is the most powerful of these teams. Aren't they afraid of being killed by Ada? Unless, of course, there is a deeper contradiction between them. Yes, this contradiction is an irreconcilable class contradiction between the gentry class represented by Ada and the peasant class represented by the other three teams! Xiajiang soldiers, Xinshi soldiers and Lin Pingbing are all typical peasant insurgents. At first, they were just a group of refugees fighting for the wild water chestnut in Lvlin Mountain. Later, it gradually evolved into a rogue organization that robbed houses and ran around. Fuling army is different. It is composed of the children of the Liu family and the Li family in Nanyang, and it is a typical gentry group organization. The goal of the peasant army is simple: to eat a full stomach and serve the first demand of mankind! The cremation army is different. They never lack a sense of superiority in material life. Their goal is to overthrow Wang Mang's new dynasty and restore the family business of Liu's ancestors! The battle of Kunyang is a physiological need as well as a political need. Just like oil and water, how can it be integrated? At the beginning, Ada couldn't persuade the four armies to unite, so he asked Wang Chang to lobby. Cheng Dan and Zhang Jian bluntly said: "Since men are courageous people, why should they be subject to others?" "Give priority to each other, unrestricted, when a grass king, is their ideal! They are not afraid of failure, there are plenty of refugees in the world, and they will get together again after breaking up. Wang Chang used the failure of Chen Sheng and Guangwu to scare them and agreed to unite, but from the heart, they were the boss and didn't want to. This is the narrowness of the peasant class, which has no long-term goals and political pursuits, and can only become hooligans in the end! This idea is bound to conflict with Liu Yan, and the fighting capacity of Fuling army comes from lofty goals and strict military management. When Ada fixed his eyes on attacking the city and pulling out the village and destroying the main force of Xin Mang, the peasant army only looked at food, money and women. Ada's restrictions made them very unhappy. If nothing happens later, parting ways is their inevitable result! The tipping point of the backbone of Fuling Army: The fact that the consciousness of "the same goal" is different is that Xincheng, Xiajiang and Linping also gave birth to a "political goal"-to establish an emperor and establish political power! Why have they changed so much? Roots are still in Ada. Ada once preached his political blueprint to Wang Chang. Wang Chang's understanding is extremely high, and he fell in love with the blueprint at first sight, and conveyed the goal to the kings of the grass in a simple way: support Liu's restoration of the Han Dynasty, and you are either kings or sons of grace! This simple and rude so-called "political goal" is actually an expanded "physiological demand" for grass kings. However, this statement is easily accepted. In this matter, Ada made a mistake: he thought the goal was the same, and he was an inevitable supporter! Therefore, he made a promise to Wang Chang early: "How dare you be alone when things are done!" ! "It's as if the crown is at your fingertips, ignoring the differences between him and the kings of the three armed forces, hidden deep in your consciousness! In the minds of grass kings, it has become a simple formula: supporting Liu Weidi = having enough food and clothing for several lives! I didn't realize that to achieve this goal, I need a talented imperial clan child to lead them! The outlaw hero. That's why the unknown Liu Xuan was put on the throne. One side mistakenly thinks that the two sides have reached a consensus, and the other side mistakenly thinks that everything will be fine as long as one imperial clan child is introduced. Both sides don't realize that there is a huge gap in their consciousness! This practice of smoothing out class contradictions and attributing all contradictions to personal style makes it impossible for both sides to seek common ground while reserving differences. On the surface, the goal is the same, but the essence runs counter to it, which has become the fuse to detonate the contradiction between the two sides! The hidden danger of Liu Yanzhi's death: the contradiction between the two classes was covered up. Ada is dead. Did the grass kings achieve their goal? On the surface, it is realized. The outlaw hero successfully attacked Chang 'an and overthrew the new dynasty. Liu Xuan became the new owner of Weiyang Palace, and at that moment, the king of grass heads, big and small, became the princes and princes. But that's only a temporary glory. In just two years, they died in the Red Eyebrow Army. Many of them, some have been captured, and some are even hopeless to eat! That is to say, the political blueprint that pushed Ada himself to death brought a short-lived * * * to The Hero in the Greenwood, but failed to achieve the ultimate goal! Why did Ada's New Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty fail so quickly? The reason is the irreconcilable contradiction between the gentry class and the peasant class! Ada's death is a cover-up of class contradictions, not a solution. Ada is only the representative of the cremation class. His death does not mean that the influence of the cremation class is gone. In The outlaw, there are at least a large number of clansmen of Liu, headed by thomas lee, and a large number of gentry who defected from the new headstrong regime. That is to say, although Ada is dead, the strength of the cremation he represents is growing and political power is being re-established! As the core circle of restarting political power, the conflict between the peasant class and the growing gentry class will inevitably set off a new crisis again! Historical reflection: who was the protagonist of that era? Ada himself, for his own experience, should bear the main responsibility! This is a bit unkind, but it is. Liu Xiu recalled that Fuling Army, which represented the strength of the gentry, was only one of the four armed forces of outlaws, and tended to be the king of the gentry class, and was only the third commander of Xiajiang soldiers. Therefore, although Ada is very strong personally, he is only a "minority" in the Greenwood Army. Ada didn't realize this at all. The chicken told the duck that it had thrown out a political blueprint that ruined his life! If not, at best, the various parts of the outlaw hero will go their separate ways, and Ada's road will be a little harder. Why should it be fatal? Let's take a look at Liu Xiu's later road. From the beginning, he fixed his eyes on the gentry class and relied on the support of the gentry class to consolidate his foundation. Later, the peasant armies such as bronze horses and young calves were constantly absorbed, but these peasant armies were destined to be only supporting roles in Liu Xiu's camp and could not form political forces. For Ada, in that case, what he can do is to maintain loose cooperation with the three departments and not to fish in troubled waters; The second is to constantly absorb and develop the strength of the gentry and gradually transform the three departments, instead of rushing for success. Unfortunately, Ada has not done so. After all, he didn't realize that under the historical conditions at that time, the peasant class was destined to be the protagonist of history, and he chose the wrong support force! So, why did Liu Xuan, who has been sitting in the dragon chair, fail? We'll talk later!
