These stories illustrate that many people fight to build a country, but those who truly succeed in establishing an empire and achieving long-lasting peace are the ones who plan carefully and act accordingly, have a comprehensive plan, use systems and rules to constrain themselves, and pay attention to solving the problems of ordinary citizens.

Let me tell you the stories of two dynasties, which may benefit many people for a lifetime.

During the Chu-Han Contention, Xiang Yu conquered the world through military force but indulged in power after his victory, burning cities, killing captives, and losing the hearts of the people; Liu Bang was not noble, but he always constrained the power of himself and his subordinates, setting three rules before entering the Pass, exchanging system for order. In the end, Xiang Yu did not lose to Liu Bang, but was abandoned by the world.

During the transition from the Ming to the Qing dynasty, Li Zicheng's rebellion entered the capital, and after his victory, he indulged in military discipline, looting and burning, quickly exhausting public opinion. When the Qing army entered the Pass, Dorgon also wanted to plunder (here's the key point: the Manchu people are a hunting and fishing nation, plundering is in their nature) but chose to restrain himself under the advice of his strategists, preserving the old systems and stabilizing order, ultimately completing the takeover of the regime.

What determines success or failure is never who is more ruthless, but who can better restrain themselves. Any force that indulges in self-circulation, small circles, and endless resource acquisition will only end up repeating Xiang Yu and Li Zicheng. Those who can go far are always those who hit the brakes at the moment of victory.

In fact, in the later period of the Kuomintang and Communist Party, the reason why so many people in the Huangfan area were anti-Chiang was also due to Chiang Kai-shek's failure to restrain his troops, and even in the minds of the common people in the Huangfan area, the impact of Chiang's army on the local area far exceeded that of "natural disasters and Japan." Later, during the Battle of Xuzhou, which determined the trend of the Kuomintang and Communist Party, the local people rose up against Chiang Kai-shek.

Of course, on the other hand, the Shanxi warlord Yan Xishan was very meticulous in managing power constraints and wealth distribution, and the Kuomintang and Communist Party experienced the most intense and prolonged battles in Shanxi.

History is monotonous, and many things have a certain rule. Zhao Kuangyin of the Song Dynasty also ended a chaotic era by using rules～
