Cao cao's positive role in unifying the north. As mentioned earlier, at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, due to political darkness, social production was seriously damaged, and people could not live, and finally a vigorous Yellow Scarf Uprising broke out. However, under the historical conditions at that time, the peasant uprising could not achieve the final victory, which was followed by the disintegration of the Eastern Han Dynasty and the warlord scuffle. In the scuffle, not only Dong Zhuo, Li Jue and other Liangzhou warlords slaughtered people and robbed property everywhere, but also the eastern generals under the banner of diligent king. Therefore, there is a bleak scene of "people eat people and the state is depressed". Apart from the reactionary rule in the Eastern Han Dynasty, it is unforgivable to suppress the peasant uprising and the warlords who destroyed social production. But relatively speaking, there are still differences between warlords. Take Cao Cao as an example. Although he suppressed the peasant uprising and killed innocent people, from his political, military and economic performance, he was better than the warlord he eliminated. For example, he reclaimed land, built water conservancy projects and implemented the system of selling salt and iron by officials, which played a positive role in social and economic recovery and economic rectification.
As soon as Cao Cao embarked on his official career, he tried to use stricter laws to change the rampant situation of extravagance of powerful people at that time. However, because the curse lies in the central government, Cao did not dare to show his intentions. It was not until he came to power himself that the policy of restraining arrogance was fully implemented. He said: "the punishment of the husband is also the life of the people"; The policy of bringing order out of chaos should put punishment first. He used Wang Xiu, Sima Zhi, Yang Pei, Lv Qian, Man Chong, Jia Kui and other local officials to curb the lawless strongmen. If we compare Yuan Shao's and Cao Cao's political skills in Jizhou, we can see two different situations: "At the end of the Han Dynasty, politics was lenient and salt was lenient, so we didn't take it." Under Yuan Shao's lenient policy, "it is not enough to make the powerful and powerful arrogant, annex their relatives, make the people poor and weak, pay taxes on their behalf, and show off their wealth." As a result, it is naturally impossible to be "people-friendly to Qiang Bing". So Yuan Shao was defeated by Cao Cao, although he was big, with many soldiers and food. After the war in Jizhou, he immediately "emphasized the method of merging powerful countries" and thus received the effect of "making the people happy". Sima Guang said that Cao Cao's "turning chaos into governance" was not groundless. Moreover, the officials he elected should be "sensible" and be able to govern the country according to law. Cao Cao also advocates honesty. He used Cui Yan and Mao Jie for the election. "Everyone he uses is honest and upright. Although he was famous at that time, he didn't do what he should do, and he was finally admitted. " Thrift guides people, so people all over the world are inspired by honesty and thrift. Although your minister, dare not cross. "So the social atmosphere has improved.
Complementing the implementation of the rule of law policy is to concentrate on yourself as much as possible and not let the princes form a party. He ordered: "In this Qing Dynasty, even though personal relationships were better than others, it was useless to serve the country and the king." Fuck, in order to supervise the governors, the establishment of "school affairs" was opposed by the minister, who thought it was an "untrustworthy purpose" Cao Cao explained it this way: "If you want to stab, you can do a lot of things, but you can't." The so-called "sages and gentlemen" mainly refers to noble ministers, who have been officials all their lives, have branches and leaves attached, and have great fame and influence. On the one hand, we should win over the Rightists and make them occupy the upper position without real power; On the one hand, they also use ordinary school affairs to check their behavior. Is it necessary to do this? You can use Sun Quan's words to answer later. Sun Quan said: "The disciples of Chang Wen (Chen Qunzi) used to be able to keep good deeds and try their best to behave themselves, but they were afraid of being strict and did not dare to do anything wrong." Sun Quan followed suit and set up a school post, which showed that it was reasonable to set up a school supervisor in order to prevent the recurrence of the ministers' group at the end of the Han Dynasty and the small group of Yuan Shao Group. From the internal structure of Cao Wei regime, there are the most noble ministers, and the potential danger is heavier. Cao Cao planned for himself and future generations, and set up school affairs to wait on the ministers. Although it is harsh and political, it is difficult to subdue them without it. The history book says: "Cao Gong is strict and an official, so he often adds a stick." . Cao Cao also let the general's family live in his home to prevent them from fleeing from themselves, which is a reflection of the estrangement and contradiction between Cao Cao and his subordinates.
On the whole, under Cao Cao's rule, the Yellow River Basin has a certain degree of political clarity, the economy has gradually recovered, the class oppression has been slightly alleviated, and the social atmosphere has improved. Therefore, we say that the unification of the north and some corresponding measures still have positive effects.
Cao Cao's story
Bian Shi, Cao Cao's first wife, was originally an advocate, that is, a family of musicians specializing in music and dance in the Han Dynasty (synonymous with prostitutes in the later Tang Dynasty, only artists in the Han Dynasty). Later, she married Cao Cao and was abolished in the early years of Jian 'an, and Mrs. Bian became Cao Cao's wife. Cao Pi was honored as the Empress Dowager and Cao Rui as the Empress Dowager.
Although he was born in poverty, he has an excellent personality and a low profile.
The son she gave birth to.
1: Wei Wendi Cao Pi
2. Cao Zhang with superb martial arts.
3. Cao Zhi (a talented poet who has heard of the seven-step poem)
4; Xiao Wang Huai Cao Xiong
That society attaches great importance to fame and birth status, while Cao Cao pays more attention to character.
During the war, Cao Cao always seized some jewels, treasures, antiques and jewels. After he takes them home, Cao Cao will first give these things to Mrs. Bian to choose, because she is a good wife and mother, and Mrs. Bian always chooses a medium-grade jewelry, such as jewelry. Alas, this is very strange for Cao Cao, so I asked her. I found through observation that you don't choose the best or the best every time.
After the battle of Guandu, Cao Cao seized a large number of books, materials, documents and letters from Yuan Shao, and found that some of them were letters written by his own people to Yuan Shao. According to the reaction of ordinary people, this is evidence of collaboration and betrayal. We should take them out, take down the traitors one by one, and find out those waverers for me, but Cao Cao didn't. When Cao Cao found these piles of letters, he immediately ordered them to be burned. Cao Cao did a good job. At that time, many people didn't understand, so they asked Cao Cao why he had to destroy such important evidence, because Cao Cao knew very well that the weak was strong. To be honest, he has no confidence in himself, let alone in everyone. This collusion with Yuan Shao is not one or two, three or five, but dozens or hundreds.
Cao Cao is good at pretending to be deaf and dumb. Only by pretending to be deaf and dumb can he be tolerant. A tolerant person can win the hearts of the people and win the world.
I am young. I am a young man. I am afraid that I will be regarded as a fool by people in the sea. I wanted to be a county magistrate and do a good job in politics and religion, so as to establish a reputation and let the world know. Therefore, in Jinan, we began to go to the dregs and decontaminate, and we held elections with peace of mind, which violated all the regular waiters. I thought it was because I was angry with powerful people and was afraid of causing family disaster, so I retired.
After he became an official, he was still young and middle-aged. He is fifty years old, and he is not old. From the heart, it has been 20 years now, and when the world is clear, it will be the same as the person who started at the same age. So, I went back to my hometown at four o'clock and built a fine house fifty miles east of Qiaocheng. I wanted to study in autumn and winter, hunt in winter and spring, and find a place under the mountain. I wanted to drown myself in mud, so that guests could not come and go. But you can't get what you want.
Later, he was recruited as a captain and transferred to the imperial army. So he wants to make contributions to the traitor, and he wants to make Hou a general of the West. Then he wrote a tomb and said, "The tomb of Cao Hou, the general of the West, was recruited because of the Han Dynasty." This is also his ambition. And because of Dong Zhuo's difficulties, it is worthwhile to raise troops. It is time to combine soldiers to get more ears, but they often lose themselves and don't want more; Therefore, if there are more soldiers, it will be even worse to compete with strong enemies. So I fought thousands of battles in Bianshui, and then I went to Yangzhou to raise more money, but I couldn't recover more than 3,000 people, which was limited.
After leading Yanzhou, 300 thousand people broke the yellow turban insurrectionary. Yuan Shu also arrogantly called Jiujiang, and all the people obeyed. The aristocratic family said that the city gate was built and the clothes and quilts were made by the emperor, so two women competed for the title of queen. The ambition has been set, and people advised the arts to make it a throne, enlightening the world [,answering "Cao Gong is still here, but not yet". After begging for birds alone, the four generals gained a lot, so they died. When Yuan Shao occupied Hebei Province, he was powerful, isolated and really defeated. But the plan is to die for the country, to destroy the body with righteousness, and to respect it in the future. Fortunately Shao is Xiao's second son. Liu Biao thinks he is an imperial clan and is full of treachery, but at first glance, if he is a country, he will be alone in the world. As a prime minister, people and ministers are extremely expensive, and expectations have passed.
Today, if you talk about this alone, if you are arrogant and want others to say everything, you are not afraid. Leave the country alone. I don't know how many people will be king and how many people will be king! Or people are lonely and strong, but they don't believe in fate. They are afraid of selfish comments. They are arrogant and considerate of each other. Qi Huan and Jin Wen are so famous today that they can still serve Zhou Shi because they have great military potential. The Analects of Confucius says, "There are two things in the world. Serving Yin, Zhou Zhide can be described as the ultimate virtue. " Husbands can make big things small. Yesterday, I went to see Zhao, who wanted to be with him. Le Yi fell to the ground and wept, saying to him, "I am the king, but I am still the king;" If I commit a crime, I will be put in another country, and then I will die. I can't bear to find Zhao's apprentice, but Kuang is the heir! " When Hu Hai killed Meng Tian, he said: "I have accumulated my trust in Qin Sanshi since my grandparents; Today I will send more than 300 thousand troops, which is enough to betray. But those who know death and keep righteousness dare not humiliate their ancestors and forget their teachings. " Every time I read this kind of duet book, I feel sad and cry. Orphan ancestors, fathers, and even lonely people are all important responsibilities. They can be described as believers, and the Huan Zi brothers are too old for three generations.
Lonely non-disciples say this to you, often using wives and concubines, all to let you know this. Lonely words: "Take care of me for ten thousand years, and you and Cao should get married to spread my heart and make people know." Loneliness is important for the liver. Therefore, it goes without saying that people who are diligent in telling their confidants see that Duke Zhou has a book with a "golden belly", for fear that others will not believe it. But if you want to be immune, you can donate all the soldiers to pay back the deacons and return to Wuping Houguo. who is it? I'm afraid of leaving the army and getting hurt by others. For the sake of future generations, if we lose, the country will be in danger. This is a real disaster because you can't admire the name. This is not allowed. The previous three sons were named Hou by Chao En, but they refused. Today, they should accept it more, stop being proud, think of foreign aid and plan for Wan 'an.
Lonely smell of referral to avoid Jinfeng, Xu Shen fled Chu reward, not without giving up the book and sighing, but also introspection. In order to serve the prestige of the country, we fight against it, winning the strong with the weak, and the small birds on the ground are big. Your will, you don't violate anything, what you think, what you don't do, you destroy the world and don't disgrace the Lord's life. It can be said that God helped the Han Dynasty, not manpower. However, it is sealed in four counties and has 30,000 eaters. What a pity! The rivers and lakes are not quiet and do not give in; As for the city soil, you can quit. Today, there are still 20,000 households in Yang Xia, Zhegu and Ku counties, but they have eaten all the households in Wuping and slandered them on the grounds of sharing losses and alleviating loneliness.
