After Chen Youliang ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, the Han Emperor Chen Youliang, who had completely controlled the country and the army but was unwilling to be lonely, took advantage of the secret love between Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhang Shicheng to catch Zhu Yuanzhang, who was regarded as a thorn in his flesh.

The wild donkey, who wanted to rush forward quickly, did not care about the openings in other places, and launched his first war since the founding of the People's Republic of China towards Taiping, which was not far away.

At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang, who did not care about his face or body, was deeply trapped in the quagmire of the war with Zhang Shicheng. When he heard that the current war was tightening the fire monkey's ass, another terrible team stole his life.

The land of Longxing.

But when this terrifying team turned out to be Chen Youliang, who had no trade or military friendly exchanges with him, the hair on his back stood up and a chill ran down his back.

After hearing the news, Zhu Yuanzhang, who was confused and anxious, suddenly panicked.

You beast, beast!

You are a beast that kills masters and seizes power.

Sir, I didn't recruit you and I didn't offend you at all. You just brought trouble to the emperor of your Tianwan Kingdom in just a few days. Now, sir, why are you coming to the rear of my base? Could it be that you are planning to come again?

Is it harming me?

You are truly an animal, a beast.

I know that uncle, I am very busy right now, and when I have no time to deal with you and no strength to provoke you, you will take the opportunity to take advantage of me.

What you're doing is unreasonable.

You are truly a beast.

The trick you used to attack Taiping is that my hometown is not far away from Taiping. If you let me take another step forward, my efforts over the years will be completely in vain.

You're such a good move, you pinched my uncle's seven inches in one move.

Zhu Yuanzhang, who had just developed and whose comprehensive strength was still far inferior to others, was harassed by Zhang Shicheng and pressed step by step by Chen Youliang. In this extremely passive situation, when he was almost facing a two-sided war situation, he had troubles both before and after.

Zhu Yuanzhang, who had strengthened his troops and was in a dilemma, was really confused and was in a dilemma.

At this time, a decisive figure came to his army who could be said to influence the development of his future career.

After the arrival of this figure, as an absolute think tank and a high-level intellectual who could support everything, he quickly assessed the comprehensive strength of the two opponents and assisted Zhu Yuanzhang in making the next military focus.

.

His specific strategy is to avoid fighting on two fronts and adopt a strategy of defeating each other.

Defeat Chen Youliang first, then defeat Zhang Shicheng.

This person's name is simple but not simple, simple but extraordinary.

The specific name is: Liu Ji.

Some people may think that the name Liu Ji is a bit unfamiliar. Well, let us get to know his other scary name.

This title is: Liu Bowen.

After his death, in order to commemorate this great founding hero and praise his extraordinary life experience, later generations classified Liu Ji as the same figure as Zhuge Liang, the sage of the Three Kingdoms period. Many people even commented that his contribution was greater than that of Zhuge Liang.

.

In order to commemorate this great man, after Liu Ji's death, the world attributed his life to a proverb.

The proverb is as follows:

Zhuge Liang divided the world into three parts, and Liu Bowen unified the country.

In order to more clearly plan Liu Ji's extraordinary and great strategic achievements in his life, many people commented on him as:

Zhuge Liang, the military advisor of the former dynasty, and Liu Bowen, the military advisor of the later dynasty.

As for this person who Zhu Yuanzhang worked so hard to invite but did not give him a clear official title, it can be said that in Zhu Yuanzhang's mind Liu Ji has become his absolute military advisor. Liu Ji accurately carried out Zhu Yuanzhang's strategic route and offensive targets.

Unmistakably accurate classification, Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, also spoke highly of him.

Zhu Yuanzhang repeatedly called Liu Ji: My son (Zhang Liang).

I personally feel that Liu Ji's existence was a crucial factor for Zhu Yuanzhang. Although Liu Ji did not appear in real military attacks, battlefield battles and desperate battles, as a scholar, he

It is not suitable for appearing on such a life-and-death battlefield.

But as a scholar who can strategize, who can easily kill tens of thousands of soldiers and horses with a pen in his hand, and who can deploy the right tactics to win thousands of miles away, his identity is no longer just

He is a weak scholar character, but to be more precise, he is an absolute strategist and military coordinator.

In other words, he is a typical military theorist.

When many major wars came, many military problems that Zhu Yuanzhang could not solve were solved by this great man who was weak on the surface but upright and strong in his heart.

The reason why I call Liu Ji scary is mainly because of the following points.

First, in my personal opinion, Liu Ji does not have the ambition to dominate. If he really had such political ambitions, with his absolutely outstanding personal leadership ability and military wisdom, he would definitely not have the same ambition later.

Zhu Yuanzhang and the existence of the Ming Dynasty.

I think this is also the reason why Zhu Yuanzhang needed to use him everywhere after the founding of the country, but was always wary of him.

Second, many people say that Liu Ji only has military wisdom and no political wisdom. I absolutely disagree with this point. Because his political wisdom was clearly demonstrated in the handling of many subsequent crises.

If I must comment on Liu Ji's political talent, I can only evaluate him as: he is a good writer and military theorist, but not a good politician.

In the face of political competition, slightly dark methods and practices such as being good at playing politics, engaging in political struggles and intrigues are not suitable for him.

Although he looks weak on the surface but is upright in his heart, he is not suitable for staying in officialdom for a long time.

This is also the fundamental reason why he was in power all over the world during the Yuan Dynasty.

Regarding other Liu Ji’s life experiences, we will also talk about them one by one later.

Now let us get to know this great and terrible figure - Liu Ji and Liu Bowen.

Name: Liu Ji;

Alternative words: Bowen;

Ethnicity: Han;

Ancestral home: Nantian Township, Qingtian County, Zhejiang Province (now Wencheng County, Wenzhou City);

Title: Uncle Chengyi;

Main works: "Collected Works of Chengyibo";

Date of birth: July 1, 1311;

Death time: May 16, the eighth year of Hongwu (1375);

Posthumous gift: Taishi;

Life achievements: Assisted Zhu Yuanzhang to overthrow the tyranny of the Yuan Dynasty and help him conquer the Ming Dynasty.

Political identity: A famous military strategist, politician, writer, astronomer, military theorist in the late Yuan and early Ming Dynasties, and the famous founder of the Ming Dynasty.

The details of life experience are as follows:

In the first year of Taiding in the Yuan Dynasty (1324), the fourteen-year-old Liu Ji entered the Yuan Dynasty to study. Because of his outstanding memory and learning ability, he was familiar with the principles and memorized them by simply reading "Spring and Autumn" silently twice.

I am jealous of the teacher's praise, and I am honored to be called a unique person and an eternal genius by the college.

In the fourth year of Taiding (1327), Liu Ji, who had nothing to learn but stayed here to waste food, pollute the air and waste his youth, decided to leave the Fu Academy, study Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism under the famous scholar Zheng Fuchu, receive orthodox Confucian education, and here

Browse books from all over the world.

Historical records record that Liu Ji studied everything, from astronomy, classics and history to the opinions of nine schools of thought, and did not read extensively.

The general meaning is that he would not let go of any book, ranging from Confucius and the Hundreds of Confucius to the Yellow Golden Vase. He had read all the books, from astronomy to the Hundreds of Confucius, and had read and studied them all.

The more important point is that after Liu Ji read widely, he did not show off his knowledge at all. He was still modest and prudent when dealing with problems, and he was open-minded and eager to learn. He had a high reputation and evaluation in the mouths of teachers and elders.

In the first year of the Yuan Dynasty (1333), Liu Ji, who had already read extensively, went to Beijing to take the exam, and won the exam in one fell swoop, receiving the Jinshi degree.

But unfortunately, after passing the Jinshi examination, due to the internal corruption and political stupidity of the Yuan Dynasty, under the rule of the Yuan Dynasty, which was full of heroes, he, a genuine high-level intellectual, was left idle at home for three years.

Why don't you stay where you are? I won't talk to you until I'm done with my affairs here.

In the second year of Yuan Tong (1336), Liu Ji, who had already obtained his diploma, finally got the position he had been waiting for for a long time and obtained the first official position in his life: Jiangxi Gao'an County Cheng (eighth grade). His main job was to assist the county magistrate.

Handle daily government affairs.

When facing his first political identity in life, Liu Ji, who has always been upright, discovered that his immediate boss was a man who appeared to be benevolent and moral, but secretly engaged in some sneaky and bribery activities.

Liu Ji, a scumbag who had been cooperating for four years but could no longer sleep on the same bed or urinate in a pot with his boss, finally fell out with his boss one day after reluctantly holding office.

Liu Ji resigned and went home with a piece of paper.

In the third year of Zhizheng (1343), an emperor had been changed, but the emperor had changed the soup without changing the medicine. The emperor of the Yuan Dynasty, who had become corrupt to the core and pedantic to the core, felt that Liu Ji was a rare talent.

In response to the grand slogan used by the imperial court, officials of the Yuan Dynasty decided to re-recruit Liu Ji to the court as deputy governor of Jiangsu and Zhejiang Confucianism (should be equivalent to the current position of deputy governor of Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces), and concurrently as provincial examiner (director of the Provincial Department of Education)

, but the funny thing is that even though it is now a position like a deputy governor, its official rank is pitifully low. The actual official rank is: seventh grade.

With a rocket promotion from the eighth grade to the seventh grade with super-standard benefits, Liu Ji, who had been bored at home for several years, decided to come back due to the huge political and status attraction, accept the position, and prepare to work here

Do a great job in your position.

But no one expected that Liu Ji, who had been outcast for three years and should have some understanding of officialdom routines and political rules, would be in this position for less than a year, and his boss would be exposed due to reports.

The supervisor investigated the censor and other corruption cases and was collectively impeached by everyone.
