He formulated combat strategies in the
military camp(謀謨帷幄)
There was a famous minister in the Eastern
Han Dynasty of China, his name was (Deng Yu).
There is a story about him recorded in
history books.
The founding king of the Eastern Han
Dynasty was Liu Xiu. After he joined the camp that Liu Xiu founded, Liu Xiu
asked him to lead the army in several battles.
He led the army with very clear rules, and
the soldiers in his army were very disciplined.
When his army was marching, he asked his
soldiers not to rob or use violence against ordinary civilians.
At that time, other revolutionary armies
and warlords' military management was very loose. Other revolutionary armies
and warlords' armies often robbed ordinary people of their money and food while
marching.
So his reputation is very good. When his
army passes through a place, the people of that place will take the initiative
to welcome him and his army.
He showed a very friendly attitude to these
ordinary people whom he did not know, and he was welcomed by the people
wherever he went.
After several battles, Liu Xiu made him the
prime minister of the country and asked him to govern all the people in the
territory of the Eastern Han Dynasty.
At his inauguration ceremony, Liu Xiu
addressed all the ministers.
Liu Xiu said
Deng Yu was a very filial and loyal man. He
was my good partner on the battlefield. I worked with him many times to
formulate battle strategies in the military camp at the front of the
battlefield.
He's very intelligent and has a lot of good
advice.
I feel like Confucius in ancient China, and
he is like Yan Hui, a disciple of Confucius.
Yan Hui was the most outstanding disciple
of Confucius. Not only did he have a good moral character, but he was also able
to unite the centripetal force of Confucius' disciples, so Confucius liked Yan
Hui very much.
I like him as much as Confucius liked Yan
Hui.
He has won many battles for our kingdom.
Although he is only 24 years old, I will give him a very important position
starting today.
I ask him to be in charge of all the people
in our current territory. I believe he will treat all the people with a
generous heart. He will teach all the people how to improve their personal
ethics and morals. He will make all the people treat us with more centripetal
force.
This idiom means that he formulated the
battle strategy in the military camp.
Dear friend, what inspirations or thoughts
do you have after listening to this story?
Do you agree with the behaviour of the
current leaders of your country? If you were asked to take on a very important
position now, do you think you are qualified enough for this position?
I hope this story can help you gain
something.
謀謨帷幄(He formulated combat strategies in
the military camp(謀謨帷幄)
中國的東漢王朝有一個著名的大臣，他的名字叫做(鄧禹)。
歷史書上記載了一個他的故事。
東漢王朝的開國國王是劉秀，他加入創立劉秀的陣營後，劉秀讓他帶領軍隊進行了好幾場的戰役。
他用很明確的規定管理軍隊，他的軍隊中的士兵很有紀律。
當他的軍隊在行軍的時候，他要求他的士兵不准搶劫與不可以用武力對付一般的平民。
當時其他的革命軍隊與軍閥的軍隊管理都非常的鬆散，其他的革命軍隊與軍閥的軍隊在行軍時經常搶劫普通百姓的金錢與糧食。
因此他的名聲非常的好，如果他的軍隊會行軍經過一個地方，那麼這個地方的百姓們都會主動迎接他與他的軍隊。
他對於這些他不認識的普通百姓表現出非常友善的態度，他所到之處都會受到百姓的歡迎。
經過幾場戰役後，劉秀讓他擔任國家內的首相，讓他管理東漢王朝的領土內的所有的人民。
在他的就職典禮上，劉秀對所有的大臣發表演說。
劉秀說。
鄧禹是一個很孝順又很忠誠的人，他是我戰場上的好夥伴，我好幾次都跟他一起在戰場最前線的軍營中訂定作戰策略。
他非常有智慧，他會提出很多好的意見。
我感覺我就像是中國古代的孔子，他就像是孔子的學生顏回一樣。
顏回是孔子的學生中最優秀的學生，他不但有很好的品德，而且他能夠凝聚孔子的學生們的向心力，因此孔子非常喜歡顏回。
我喜歡他就像是孔子喜歡顏回一樣。
他為我們王國贏得了許多場的戰役，他雖然才24歲，但我從今天開始要讓他擔任一個非常重要的職務。
我請他負責管理我們目前的領土中的所有人們，我相信他會用寬厚的心去對待所有的百姓，他會教導所有的百姓如何提升個人的倫理與道德，他會讓所有的百姓對我們王國更有向心力。
這句成語的意思是他在軍營中訂定作戰策略。
親愛的朋友，你聽完這個故事有怎樣的啟發或是想法呢。
你認同你的國家目前的領導者的行為嗎?如果現在要你承擔一個很重要的職務，你認為你有足夠的能力勝任這個職位嗎?
我希望這故事能讓你產生一點收穫。
