The history teacher once told us that people, not heroes, made history. But in fact, many historical figures have changed the historical trend by their own efforts.
For example, the following eight:
8. Left Tang Zong.
1865, Agubo invaded Xinjiang, and later established "Zhede Sarkhan State", which occupied most of Xinjiang. 187 1 year (ten years of Tongzhi), Russia reoccupied Yili, Xinjiang.
On the question of whether to send troops to recover Xinjiang, there was a dispute between coastal defense and fortress defense in the Qing court. The coastal defense faction is headed by Li Hongzhang, and the fort defense faction is headed by Zuo. Finally, the Qing court decided to support Zuo to send troops to the northwest.
Left to live up to expectations, with sixty thousand troops. It took only two years to recover Xinjiang.
Without the Left, the territory of China today might be very different.
7. Wang Yangming
In the fourteenth year of the Ming Dynasty, after decades of preparation, King Zhu of Ning rallied hundreds of thousands of people to revolt.
During the Ming Wuzong period, the rule of the Ming Dynasty was not very stable, and peasant uprisings often broke out. If Wang Ning's rebellion lasts too long, it will inevitably cause chaos in the world and deal a heavy blow to the Ming Dynasty.
But the appearance of Wang Yangming changed the original historical trend. It took Wang Yangming only 43 days to quell the rebellion and arrested Ning Wangzhu under the guise of imperial orders.
6. Lou Jing in Han Dynasty.
Lou Jing was a nobody in the early Han Dynasty, but he really changed the history of the Han Dynasty.
In the fifth year of Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty, Lou Jing was sent to the Shaanxi border and served as a garrison in the State of Qi. When I passed through Luoyang, I met Liu Bang, the Emperor Gaozu, through the introduction of my fellow villagers. Someone suggested to Liu Bang that Chang 'an should be the capital instead of Luoyang. Liu Bang consulted Sean and adopted his suggestion.
Therefore, Liu Bangci Lou Jing changed his surname to Liu, conferred the post of doctor, and was named Feng Chunjun.
When Liu Bang attacked Xiongnu, Liu Jing proposed not to attack Xiongnu, but to ambush in the meeting. Liu Bang didn't listen, and as a result, a "siege of Deng Bai" happened, which almost killed him.
Liu Jing also proposed to kiss the Huns and let Lv Hou's daughter, Princess Luyuan, marry modu chanyu, thus avoiding trouble forever.
Although Liu Bang did not fully adopt the last two suggestions, Liu Jing changed history.
5. Han Xin.
Han Xin was one of the greatest contributors to the establishment of the Han Dynasty. He brought thousands of old, weak, sick and disabled people to pacify the north and created a miracle in military history.
After Han Xin pacified Qi, Kuai Tong, an adviser, advised Han Xin to rebel and divided the world into three parts. Han Xin refused.
Han Xin's thoughtlessness makes China lose a "Three Kingdoms era".
4. Reese.
After Qin Shihuang unified the world, most ministers suggested that Qin Shihuang should follow the example of Zhou Dynasty, enfeoffment scholars and establish vassal states to maintain the rule of Qin Dynasty. Only Reese put forward different opinions and advocated a thorough county system.
Finally, Qin Shihuang adopted Lisi's suggestion.
Of course, if Qin Shihuang knew what was going on underground, he would definitely regret his guts.
After the death of Qin Shihuang, all his 19 sons died, except the youngest one who voluntarily committed suicide to follow Qin Shihuang. In the face of Zhao Gao's pursuit, there is no strength to fight back. The Qin dynasty also died.
3. Shang Yang.
Shang Yang's political reform is the most important reason why Qin can unify the six countries. Shang Yang's political reform not only changed the state of Qin, but also changed the whole history of China.
2. Confucius
Confucius was just an ordinary taxi driver in Shandong, but he opened private schools, recruited disciples and publicized Confucianism, which changed the history of China for thousands of years.
1. Duke of Zhou Ji Dan.
Zhou Wuwang died only two years after the downfall of Shang Dynasty. Zhou Wuwang laid the foundation of the world before he came to power. After the young king succeeded to the throne, the Duke of Zhou assisted in the administration of state affairs, formulated the system of rites and music, put down the "three prisons chaos" and enfeoffed the princes on a large scale.
In fact, Confucius' Confucianism advocated the system of rites and music formulated by Duke Zhou and developed it. Duke Zhou is the real founder of Confucianism.
Of course, there are far more people who change history by their own efforts. You can also express your views.
