The origin of Idioms

Ban Gu's biography of Wang Mang in the book of Han in the Eastern Han Dynasty: "if you are angry, you will be exempted from being a British official. Later, he became quite conscious and said, "Britain is not to blame."

Wang Mang (from Daming County of Handan) established a new dynasty after usurping the Han Dynasty, which intensified the contradiction between Wang Mang and the ethnic minorities in gouting of Gaizhou. The struggle against Xinmang is in full swing. Wang Mang successively sent generals Feng Mao, Lian Dan and Shi Xiong to attack gouting, and imposed heavy taxes on the local area as the army's food and salaries. After several years of fighting, tens of thousands of soldiers were killed and tens of thousands of local people were killed, and the local people were also deprived of money and food. However, the resistance of the gouting people could not be put down. Feng Ying, the local official of Xindu (ancient place name), wrote a letter to Wang Mang, urging him to stop fighting and devote himself to the development of production. In a rage, Wang Mang dismissed Feng Ying as an official. Later, he came to realize that Feng Ying's opinions were not to blame, so he sent him to Changsha as an official.

Idioms and allusions

Wang Mang, the nephew of the empress of the Yuan Dynasty of the Han Dynasty, usurped the throne by means of conspiracy and established a new dynasty. After Wang Mang became emperor, he arbitrarily changed the border policy of the Western Han Dynasty and lured king Gouding to the county and city to be executed. Many ethnic leaders in Yizhou county have set up troops against the imperial court. When Wang Mang learned of the turmoil in Yizhou, he sent a general to recruit soldiers and levied heavy taxes on the people as military expenses to attack Gouding. The war lasted for nearly three years, consumed a lot of money, but the turmoil still did not subside. Seeing that the general was unable to deal with the situation, yumang recalled him to Kyoto and executed him. At the same time, another general was sent to recruit 200000 troops to attack Guding. A large number of grain and rates can only be provided by the counties along the road. Feng Ying, a local prefect, thinks that this will add new disasters to the people who have already been tortured. For this reason, he refused to provide, and wrote to Wang Mang, asking to stop sending troops and end the war. In a rage, Wang Mang immediately ordered Feng Ying to be removed from office. But later he thought that this would cause dissatisfaction among the local people, so he said to the people around him hypocritically, "Feng Ying, in fact, can't blame him too much for this. "In this way, Feng Ying's official position has been preserved, but she has been transferred to another place to be a prefect.

Idiom application

Bloodless palace coup

In other words, although Yuan Shikai was slow in the process of running for the provisional president in the first year of the Republic of China, he was able to peacefully convert the two thousand year old monarchy within two months, which is astonishing efficiency. At that time, if Yuan Shikai could really hold up the banner of righteousness and set up a coupd'etat as expected by the party, so as to eliminate the widows and orphans in the court and the princes and princes in the city at one stroke, we can't say whether he would be able to do it well. If you want to be quick, you will not be able to achieve it. There will be flames everywhere. In the streets of corpses and alleys, and in the city of Beijing, all the jade will be burned. What will be the help to the development of the revolution? Therefore, Yuan's steady approach, which is to slowly carry out a bloodless palace coup, is not to blame.

In terms of personal morality, the ancients said that no poison, no husband, bloody coup, widows, orphans and Manchurian relatives should be killed at one stroke. Those who do such things should be cruel. Comparing people with others, Yuan's family was not cruel enough and his hands were not hot enough. He had a little bit of womanhood and couldn't bear to attack widows and orphans. He is more or less a bit of Eastern Confucian and Buddhist forgiveness.

Let's put it another way. Even if it's an obscene practice of "end justifies means" which only cares about the eyes, it's still a question whether the means of bloodshed are more effective than those of no bloodshed! Is it easier for yuan Ru to usurp the throne by killing widows and orphans than by keeping them? The effect is obviously the opposite. Yuan Shikai was not a ruthless butcher. His forgiveness and his mother-in-law behavior made the revolutionary party lose patience with him, and he lost his gold medal. Whether this is a mistake, we dare not say it. So what tactics did he use in these two months of turmoil, and how did he achieve his goal through a bloodless palace coup? True history is much more interesting than false novels. Here we might as well give a brief outline.
