Chapter 623 What is the prosperous Tang Dynasty (2)?
The King of Water Margin Volume 1, Chapter 626: What is the prosperous Tang Dynasty? So don’t be deceived by those bricks, and don’t think that Temu is really a hero with a broad mind when watching a few episodes of The Legend of the Condor Heroes - yes, he is a hero, but that is just a hero of the Mongolians, or even a hero of the Golden Family. Even Guo Jing will die under the iron hoof of the Mongolian army, let alone a little fool like you and me? If you were really born in that era, you would probably not have time to cry. If you can be a slave and work until you die, it would be considered burning incense.
The next level is the Three Kingdoms, the Sui Dynasty, the Song Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty. These dynasties are much better than those above. At least they are still considered to be the masters of the Han people, and at least they have basic order and culture, but they also have obvious flaws.
The flaws of the Three Kingdoms are naturally divided into three parts of the world. Although Ah Man, Huang Shu and Sun Quan are both powerful leaders of the generation, and their literary, martial and political power have been superior in all dynasties, but this is not a good thing for the three lives in an era, just like the top three boxing champions of the Beidou Shenquan in the history of the North Point God Fist, the Saint Tocci and the protagonist Kenjiro, as well as Federer, Nadal and Djokovic in the current men's tennis world.
Emperor Wen of Sui Dynasty, Yang Jian, said that in addition to the two minor problems of fear of inner self and suspicion, he was definitely a hero of a generation. However, he gave birth to Emperor Yang Guang, an unscrupulous person. After killing his father and brother to ascend the throne, he was very happy to be successful. He conquered Goryeo, built canals, and built palaces, and rebelled against the eighteen rebels. In just a few years, he defeated all the thick foundation his father had. He and Hu Hai were called the biggest prodigal son in Chinese history! So in total, the Sui Dynasty could only be placed in this position. Yang Guang, a pig teammate, definitely dragged his father down.
Then let’s talk about the Ming Dynasty that overthrew the brutal rule of the Yuan Dynasty. In fact, like the Jin Dynasty, the Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang drove the Yuan Dynasty back to the grasslands and restored the rule of the Han people. It was a rare case of the south ruling the north in all dynasties. Most of them were made into a pot of porridge in the north, and then unified the north and sang small songs, humming small songs, drinking small wine, and sweeping the south. After all, the south and the north were not on the same level in terms of force.
However, Zhu Yuanzhang was a little bad, and his small peasant consciousness was a little stronger. He was like King Goujian of Yue, who was "only sharing hardships, not wealth and honor". Once he got the world, he wiped out all the heroes, "Ga Li Kazha" as ruthlessly as autumn wind and leaves. Even Xu Da, the first general in the early Ming Dynasty, was no exception. No matter how old or small his children and grandchildren were, his IQs, even a pig would still be crowned king.
This man is doing it, God is watching. Zhu Yuanzhang is extremely domineering in his life, and no one dares to provoke him. His power is much greater than the two great gods of Qin Emperor and Han Wu, but his descendants are retribution. First, Zhu Yunwen, the crown prince whom he personally chose, listened to the words of a few scholars and wanted to reduce the vassal states, but he did not have the ability of Emperor Jing of Han and Wu Emperor, but was beaten by his uncle Zhu Di, and he didn't even know whether he was alive or dead.
Next, Zhu Di, the Emperor Yongle, always felt uneasy after usurping the throne. While tampering with history, he insisted that he was born by Empress Ma. Moreover, what his father wanted to pass the throne to him was Zhu Yunwen who secretly changed his order. At the same time, he set up a spy from the East Factory after his father's Jinyiwei to monitor all officials and see if anyone said bad things about him. Later, his descendants and grandchildren were promoted to add a West Factory again.
This spy organization is so terrible enough, let alone the number of three. It is as tyrannical, dark and gloomy as the rule of the Ming Dynasty is. Especially in the later period, the eunuchs who were in charge of the spy organization were often the most trusted eunuchs by the emperor. Therefore, Liu Jin, Wei Zhongxian and other most famous villain eunuchs in history were all from the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, it can be said that Zhu Yuanzhang himself tore up all the big cards of the big and small kings, and Zhu Di took away all four old ks and four qs. The remaining descendants could only survive against a bunch of small cards.
Then there is the Song Dynasty. In fact, the Song Dynasty was at the forefront of history in terms of culture, economy, population, artistic attainments, handicrafts, etc., and it was definitely a match with the prosperous Tang Dynasty. However, the military power of the Song Dynasty was too weak, and it was a fighter among the weak, a veritable fighter.
It is generally okay to say that other dynasties are weak in the first few years. After all, they have just conquered the world and have a lot of elite soldiers and brave generals. However, the Song Dynasty was very weak when it was founded. Song Taizu Song Taizong was beaten to the Liao Kingdom and ran away with his humble words and generous coins. Then, the later generations were worse than those of the generation. Even the small Xixia, which occupied a corner of Hetao, could not take over. Finally, it was a "draw" by money, and finally it was swept by the Jin soldiers and created the most shameful "Jingkang Shame" in Chinese history. The Northern Song Dynasty has since perished.
Then the illegitimate son of the Northern Song Dynasty was even more innate. After Emperor Gaozu of Song, Zhao Gou and the traitor Qin Hui, he harmed Yue Fei to please the father of the Jin Dynasty, and barely saved half of the country. They were not ashamed but proud. They still "warm wind makes tourists drunk, and they only regard Hangzhou as Bianzhou". They continued to close the door and live a free and easy life. Hangzhou in later generations was of course much more prosperous than Bianzhou. Don't forget that in that era, they were mainly in the north, so soon after they survived, they were beaten by Mongolia, who was ten times more cruel than the Liao Dynasty and Jin Dynasty, and then they were destroyed.
So from a military perspective, the entire history of the Song Dynasty is a bloody and tears story of being ravaged and bullied by various alien races around. This is not a good thing to beat people, but it is even worse to be rubbed on the ground from beginning to end. So although he did well in other aspects, he could only be ranked in this ranks, just like you were very good at taking exams and easily went to Tsinghua University and Peking University, but you were so weak that you even had to carry someone else to walk and use a yarn. What kind of talent can you be considered?
