Ao Bai, born in an unknown year, died in the eighth year of Kangxi (1669), a native of Zhenghuangqi, Manchuria. His uncle Fei Yingdong followed Nurhachi in his early years and was the founding father of the Qing Dynasty. Ao Bai personally took Huang taiji around for conquest, and made outstanding achievements. After Shunzhi's death, Ao Bai was ordered by the testamentary edict to assist Emperor Kangxi, who was only 8 years old, together with his ministers Sony, Suksaha and Qibabilong, and became one of the four ministers of Fuzheng. In the eighth year of Kangxi, Ao Bai was detained for playing politics and died in a secluded place soon. Ao Bai's life can be described as ups and downs, great sorrow and great joy.
Ao Bai, as an important general holding the yellow flag, was loyal to the victims and never wavered. After the death of Huang taiji, he firmly established his son as the heir to the throne, even killing each other and finally winning the throne. To this end, he forged an enemy with Prince Dourgen. During the regency, the latter suffered many cruel blows and died three times. As a military commander in the early Qing Dynasty, Ao Bai's character was faithfulness, frankness, stubbornness and courage to fight. He was loyal to his late master, Huang Taiji, and always adhered to the Minister's Day when Shunzhi was in power. He was a rare loyal minister. In the current popular TV series, Ao Bai left an image of arrogance, greed and lawlessness. I'm afraid his loyalty to honesty and frankness is still little known.
Throughout his life, Ao Bai made great achievements in his early years. Although there were occasional twists and turns, he was honored for a while. He served the three dynasties, assisted the young master, and was loyal. But in the end, he was dismissed, deprived of his property and imprisoned for his death. What a pity.
yu chenglong
In the nearly 300-year history of the Qing Dynasty, there are not a few officials who are famous for their incorruptibility, but among them, the famous Dangtui was once praised by Emperor Kangxi as "the first honest official in the world", Yu Chenglong.
Yu Chenglong, whose name is Bei Ai, was born in Yongning, Shanxi (now Lishi, Shanxi). He was born in the forty-fourth year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty (16 16) and died in the twenty-third year of Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty (1684) in April. He came from an official family, and his ancestors and father were officials of the Ming Dynasty. Influenced by his family, Yu Chenglong is dignified, unsmiling, intelligent and diligent.
Yu Chenglong was an important minister in the Kangxi period of Qing Dynasty. In the 12th year of Chongzhen in Ming Dynasty (1639), he took part in the provincial examination and won the second prize, but his father was old and needed to be taken care of, so he didn't go out to be an official. It was not until the age of 45 that he was elected to the official department of the Qing court by the Ming Dynasty, and he was named as the order of Luocheng County, Liuzhou, Guangxi. Since then, he has served as a magistrate, county magistrate, Taoist priest and other local officials, and has always been a vassal (provincial judge, political envoy) and governor, with political voices everywhere he goes. In particular, he has always been honest and self-disciplined, doing more good deeds and winning the love of the people.
Nazhu
Pearl is one of the most important ministers in Kangxi Dynasty. She was once famous and powerful in the ruling and opposition, and people respectfully called her "Guo Xiang". He lived in the cabinet for 13 years, and was "in charge of world politics", which played a key role in discussing major events such as withdrawing the vassals, unifying Taiwan Province Province and resisting foreign enemies. At the same time, as a feudal power minister, he also used the emperor's favor to monopolize state affairs, take bribes for money, sell officials and titles, form political parties for personal gain, and crack down on dissidents. In the internal struggle of the feudal ruling group, he experienced ups and downs. However, due to his late political career, a lot of information about him was lost.
To some extent, Pearl's greed and domineering are the result of Emperor Kangxi's laissez-faire. Emperor Kangxi allowed the Pearl Party to develop out of the need to contain the Suoyutu Party. Once the Lord thinks that its influence will do more harm than good without restraint, it will begin to be rectified. In the twenty-seventh year of Kangxi, Kangxi ordered the removal of Pearl and Le Dehong from their positions as university students. Since then, the power of pearls has gone forever.
In the forty-seventh year of Kangxi (1708), Mingzhu died in Beijing on April 15th. After the death of Mingzhu, Emperor Kangxi sent Yin Zhi's third son to pay homage. Pearl's life is also a good beginning and a good end.
In the thirty-seventh year of Qianlong (1772), Mingzhu has been dead for more than 60 years. Emperor Qianlong pointed out when sorting out The Legend of the Pearl in the National History Museum that the sin of the nuclear pearl was that he was too selfish and made too many friends to keep the official ring. He was not as arrogant as Yan Song and Wen Style Ren in the Ming Dynasty, and he dared to exclude dissidents and hurt loyalty. Although Mingzhu also has great shortcomings, it can't hide his contribution. This should be regarded as a more objective evaluation.
Lancodo
In the Qing dynasty, only one person was called "uncle" by the emperor. It was this dragon that played an extraordinary role in the confusing and infighting imperial war between the emperors in Kangxi's later years, and was the most critical core figure when Kangxi and Yong Zhengdi alternated imperial power. Roncodo's political success is closely related to his life experience and foresight. In the process of his development and even his fame, the post of commander-in-chief of the army played an important role.
Roncodo is not without its merits. In the fifth year of Yongzheng, Longkodo was sent to the border to preside over the demarcation negotiations with Russia. Although his position was unstable at that time, he conscientiously performed his duties, conducted detailed field investigations, and resolutely demanded that Russia return the occupied large areas of Mongolian land. Perhaps he has a desire to please the emperor, but his behavior of safeguarding national interests should be affirmed. Unfortunately, Yongzheng had completely distrusted him at that time, but he was arrested and returned to Beijing for trial because of other problems. People only remember how a generation of powerful minister Long Keduo seized power to form a party, but ignored this story. I'm thinking about how to smile bitterly at the ghost of Ronco.
Nian Gengyao
People who have watched the TV series Yongzheng Dynasty will surely leave a deep impression on Nian Gengyao. This famous young general has repeatedly made military exploits and conquered the west of the town, and all the civil and military officials in the Qing Dynasty were brave. At the same time, he got the special favor of Yong Zhengdi, so he was proud of his spring breeze. But soon, the wind and cloud changed suddenly, impeachment papers were full, and various blows followed, until Yong Zhengdi cut the official position, listed 92 major crimes, and committed suicide. It's a pity that a once all-powerful general ended up like this.
From Nian Gengyao's own point of view, his death is really a little self-inflicted. He is self-reliant, arrogant, arrogant, does not know how to be humble and self-protective, does not obey the official's way, and does things beyond the official's duties, which is unacceptable to public opinion; Moreover, he planted and took bribes for personal gain, which was not allowed by the national law and was also hated by Yongzheng. This is a hero's taboo, and it will certainly not have a good end.
Liu Yong
Liu Yong grew up in a family with a scholarly family for generations and was proud of being an official in the imperial examination. Needless to say, he received a good education from an early age. Later, he became the deputy curator of Siku Quanshu Museum, which also proved his profound knowledge. But for some reason, Liu Yong, who is full of knowledge, has been slow to take the imperial examination. Until the 16th year of Qianlong (175 1), 33-year-old Liu Yong took part in the senior high school entrance examination and palace examination in those years as a benefactor because of his father, and was born a scholar, so he changed to take an examination of Jishi Shu in imperial academy. From the twenty-first year of Qianlong (1756), Liu Yong was released as a local official, and for most of the next 20 years, he mainly worked as a local official, from studying politics to being a magistrate to being a governor.
The relationship between Liu Yong and Xiao Shenyang has always been the focus of attention. People are used to describing their relationship as the opposition between loyalty and betrayal. Indeed, Liu Yong is not a vassal of Xiao Shenyang, but basically takes an independent attitude. After Liu Yong entered Beijing, he first adjusted his official strategy and turned it into a funny model, so he could not compete with the small Shenyang, which dominated the world. However, it is worth noting that Liu Yong, a college student in the Sports Institute, actively participated in the handling of small Shenyang and played an important role in it.
On December 25, Jiaqing nine years, Liu Yong died at his home in Shilu Hutong, Beijing, at the age of 86. In any case, Liu Yong died without disease, died without regret, and completed his merits.
Ji xiaolan
Ji Xiaolan (1724 ~ 1805) was born in xian county, Zhili (now Cangxian, Hebei). According to historical records, he was humorous, resourceful and brilliant all his life, leaving many stories for later generations, and was praised as "a romantic genius" and "a master of humor". He was a famous scholar, poet, bibliographer and novelist in Qing Dynasty. Generally speaking, his life is quite different from the image in folklore and on the screen.
According to historical records, Ji Xiaolan was "short-sighted". The so-called "sleep" is ugly; The so-called "myopia" means short-sightedness. Ugliness, shortsightedness and stuttering have become the important reasons why Ji Xiaolan can't really trust him because of his appearance.
Ji Xiaolan, who is ugly, happened to meet Gan Long again, so even if he is clever, it is difficult to get real attention, and it is difficult to participate in major political decisions, so he can only settle down in words. Ji Xiaolan can only be a ci minister of Qianlong, but it is difficult to be a favorite and important minister of Qianlong. Ji Xiaolan's two examiners, six examiners, and three officials of the Ministry of Rites in his life all reflected this opportunity. This kind of official position has no heavy power or real power, but the decoration of the Qing court.
Small Shenyang made a fortune very early and was appreciated by Qianlong in his twenties. Since then, he quickly became the overlord of the political arena of the Qing Empire and became famous throughout the country.
But people don't know much about his early life. Feng Zuozhe once made a detailed textual research in The Story of Little Shenyang. Xiao Shenyang should be a native of Manchu Zhenghongqi. His family was once carried into the Zhenghuangqi, and after being convicted, his family was classified as the Zhenghongqi. Some people say that little Shenyang was born "poor" and "humble". It is estimated that when Xiao Shenyang came to power, he was promoted too fast and too bossy, so he was hated by people. Those who were attacked and rejected by him deliberately spread rumors to show that he was not worthy of being prime minister. Of course, when Xiao Shenyang was born, his family was not rich, but it is a fact. As can be seen from many unofficial history, when I was a child, I received Mr. Xue's enlightenment education at home with my younger brother Lin. Because his father was the deputy governor of Fujian, Xiao Shenyang was able to join the Xian 'an Palace official school with his younger brother at the age of 10. Xian 'an Palace Official School is actually a national key school with strong teachers and high quality students.
In fact, according to historical records, Xiao Shenyang is an out-and-out handsome man with a well-proportioned figure, a good face, quick movements, dignified manners and funny conversation.
He has a strong memory, never forgets anything, and studies hard, so he is often praised by his teachers. In addition to being able to memorize the Four Books and Five Classics, the Manchu, Chinese, Mongolian and Tibetan in Little Shenyang are also quite good. In the future, small Shenyang will be around Qianlong, receiving elites from different nationalities in various languages. At the same time, he can draft imperial edicts in various languages and even know a little about the secret spells of the western regions. He can guess the psychology of success, making his career prosperous and successful, which is not unrelated to the foundation he laid when he was young. Xiao Shenyang has also practiced good handwriting. He is good at poetry and painting. Unfortunately, when he was punished, people despised him, so his works did not spread widely.
Zeng Guofan
In the 16th year of Jiaqing in Qing Dynasty (18 1 1), Zeng Guofan was born in Baiyangping, a remote village in Xiangxiang County, Changsha District, Hunan Province.
It can be said that Zeng Guofan really stepped onto the historical front desk and exerted his unique influence on China's modern history, starting with his organizing Yong Ying in his hometown and assisting local officials to organize "communist suppression". This is not only related to Zeng Guofan's life honor and disgrace, but also related to the fate of the Qing Dynasty. Since then, Zeng Guofan's talent and personality have gradually emerged; It was also from this time that people gave him various names and reputations.
When we exclude all kinds of political factors and proceed from historical reality, we can see that Zeng Guofan is a very complicated figure in the history of the late Qing Dynasty. He collected the essence and dross of thousands of years of traditional culture in China. He was a benefactor of the feudal dynasty in China. He "inherited the decline of the past" and "initiated the modern ethos", which realized the transformation from Neo-Confucianism to Westernization. He is the originator of modern warlords and the spiritual idol of the landlord and comprador class. He is also the embodiment of China's traditional morality.
Li Hongzhang
Li Hongzhang, whose real name is Zhang Tong, was born in Modian Township (now Feidong County), Hefei County, Luzhou City, Anhui Province for three years in Daoguang (1823). Father Li Wenan official to punishments card shark, registered suggestion. Therefore, Li Hongzhang was born in an official family.
In his own words, Li Hongzhang's life track can be summarized as "being a young soldier, guarding the border in his prime, and westernizing in his later years." Li Hongzhang was a power-hungry figure in the late Qing Dynasty, and his life was almost the same as that in the late Qing Dynasty. The fate of China in the late Qing Dynasty was closely related to Li Hongzhang. Li Hongzhang started by suppressing the peasant uprising, and his tripod was dyed red with the blood of Taiping Army and Nian Army soldiers. He visited abroad and founded a modern enterprise in China. He was a pioneer of Westernization Movement and left an indelible influence in the process of China's modernization. Treaty of shimonoseki and the Treaty of Xin Chou were both negotiated and finally concluded by him, and his words and deeds were related to the fate of the late Qing government to some extent. As Liang Qichao said in the Biography of Li Hongzhang, "In the past forty years, all major events in China have been related to Li Hongzhang."
Li Hongzhang is also a complicated person. He was keen on power, controlled the internal affairs, diplomacy and military power of the Qing government for a long time, and gathered a group of military and political talents for his use. A colleague said that he might have been killed. Kang Youwei refused to join the strong society, and Sun Yat-sen wrote to him to talk about political reform. This and so on make Li Hongzhang's life full of legends.
Liu mingchuan
Anyone who has watched the TV series Liu Mingchuan, the first governor of Taiwan Province Province, and Hundred Years of the Sea must be familiar with the name Liu Mingchuan.
Liu Mingchuan was born in the 16th year of Daoguang (1836) in Xiapanlongdun, Xixiang buried hill, Hefei, Anhui. His ancestors took agriculture as their occupation. His parents are honest farmers, and his father Liu Hui is called "Liu Laohao". It is said that his eyes are like lightning and his voice is loud, and his peers are afraid of him. Later, he went to a private school and didn't study as hard as his parents expected. Instead, he likes to be a "coach" and lead a group of friends to play the opening game. He disdains farming and doesn't want to take the imperial examination. He is not interested in the "Four Books" and "Five Classics", but likes to study books on war, war and five elements. It is said that he climbed the buried hill and sighed, "A gentleman was born with a title, but died with a title. How could he be dirty in the imperial examination room? "
In the first year of Tongzhi (1862), Liu Mingchuan led the troops to join Li Hongzhang's Huai Army. In the war to suppress Taiping rebels, Liu Mingchuan was highly valued by Li Hongzhang and promoted quickly. From Ganzong and Dusi to Zong Bing, at the age of 29, he was promoted to the governor of Zhili and became a famous soldier of Huai Army.
As Mr. Yao Yongsen wrote in Liu Mingchuan, Liu Mingchuan did three great things in his life: the first was to suppress the Taiping Army and the Nian Army; The second is to defend Taiwan Province Province and fight against the French invaders; Third, as the first governor of Taiwan Province Province, Taiwan Province Province will be developed and built within six years. This general, who came from a peasant family, once sold illicit salt and collected it in the mountains. His life is quite legendary.
Yuan Shikai
Yuan Shikai, named Weiting (also called Weiting or Weiting), is also called Rong 'an. Because he is from Xiangcheng, Henan, he is also called Yuan Xiangcheng. Born in the ninth year of Xianfeng (1859) on August 20th. He is short, with a thick neck and short legs, and walks one step at a time. According to folklore, he is the reincarnation of "Toad" in "Ten Vicissitudes of Xishan". Yuan Shikai was frustrated in the imperial examination hall when he was young, and abandoned Wen to join the army at the age of 22. He once led an army across Korea to suppress the rebellion. After the Sino-Japanese War, recommended by Li Hongzhang, he trained a new army in a small station and mastered the armed forces of more than 7,000 people. From then on, it was gradually relied on by the Qing court.
Yuan Shikai was an important political figure in the late Qing Dynasty, which was closely related to him from the Reform Movement of 1898, the Boxer Movement, the New Deal in the late Qing Dynasty to the Revolution of 1911.
