The development of anything is not a straight line. Smart people can see the curve in the straight and the straight in the curve, and seize the opportunity to grasp the rules of the circuitous development of things, and achieve the set goals through circuitous changes.

In the first year of Shunzhi (1644), after the Qing Dynasty moved its capital to Beijing, the regent Dorgon began to make strategic arrangements to unify the country by force. The military situation at that time was: the peasant army Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong had more than 400,000 troops; the newly established Hongguang regime of the Southern Ming Dynasty gathered troops from towns south of the Yangtze River and Huaihe River, with no less than 500,000 troops, and dominated the natural dangers of the Yangtze River; The Qing army numbered only 200,000 people. If they were to fight many opponents in the vast hinterland of the Central Plains, the Qing army would obviously have insufficient strength. Moreover, at the beginning of the capital move, people's hearts were unstable, which might lead to a situation of focusing on one thing at the expense of the other.

Dorgon sized up the situation and wittily and flexibly adopted the strategy of moving directly, first defeating the Nanming regime and concentrating his efforts on attacking the peasant army. As expected, the Nanming authorities relaxed their vigilance against the Qing Dynasty. Instead of resisting the Qing troops, they sent envoys carrying large amounts of gold and silver to Beijing to negotiate with the Qing court and sue for peace with the Qing Dynasty. In this way, Dorgon took the initiative both politically and militarily. In July of the first year of Shunzhi, Dorgon made great progress in his attack on the peasant army, and his rear became more stable. At this time, Dorgon believed that the time had come to finally eliminate the Ming Dynasty, so he launched an attack on Nanming. When the Qing army's high-pressure policies and atrocities in the south were thwarted, Dorxiang resorted to the art of moving to the south and sent Hong Chengchou, a general from the Ming Dynasty and a Han scholar, to appease the south of the Yangtze River. In the fifth year of Shunzhi, Dorgon used his strategy and courage to basically complete the Qing Dynasty's strategy of reunification across the country, which was very particular about roundabout means. Especially when confronting a strong opponent, the key to turning from passive to active in a short period of time is whether the means of relocation are clever and sophisticated. When the famous contemporary American entrepreneur Lee Ahoka was the president of Chrysler Automobile Company, in order to obtain a US$1 billion national loan to solve the company's difficulties, he used frontal attacks while On the one hand, he raised a realistic question to the government: if Chrysler goes bankrupt, about 600,000 people will be unemployed. In the first year, the government will spend 2? Is the government willing to spend 200 million US dollars in unemployment insurance and social welfare expenses, or is it willing to lend 1 billion in loans that are very likely to be recovered? On the other hand, for those members of Congress who may vote against it, Iacocca hopes that his staff will prepare a list for each member of Congress, listing all the dealers and suppliers in the congressman's district that have financial dealings with Chrysler. names, and included an analysis of the economic consequences that would occur in their districts if Chrysler failed, thereby hinting to lawmakers that voters who would lose their jobs due to Chrysler's failure would resent them if they voted against it. This would also jeopardize their parliamentary seats.

This move worked really well. Some congressmen who had been fiercely opposed to loans to Chrysler stopped talking. In the end, Congress passed a $1.5 billion government support package for Chrysler, $500 million more than originally requested.

As the saying goes: "Change will lead to success, generality will last!" Therefore, when experiencing some things that cannot be solved for the time being, we should learn to be flexible and not be stubborn. If this road doesn't work, just change it. If there is a better opportunity, seize it as soon as possible. You cannot go all the way. Life is not static. Sometimes when we turn around, we will suddenly find that there are opportunities hidden behind us, but we were in a hurry at that time. , and ignored those beautiful things.
