Edit the history, and count the top ten emperors at the beginning!

Chapter 38
The fact that Li Shimin killed his brothers and did not let go of their ten children made countless people feel chilled.

They couldn't help muttering in their hearts: "Is such a cold-blooded emperor really good to the people and the heroes?"

But in the end, the facts proved that Li Shimin did treat heroes and common people kindly, and he was actually tortured by his conscience all the time.

[Because Li Shimin's position was not right, the literati class dominated by Confucianism had a lot to say about it, so they didn't really submit to Li Shimin for a long time.

At the same time, there are also many officials from the former dynasty. They did not really approve of the arrival of the Tang Dynasty, so the court did not go smoothly. 】

[Finally, due to years of wars, the land of China was devastated, and the national power was extremely weak. Therefore, the early days of the Tang Dynasty were actually very difficult. 】

The tears in Li Shimin's eyes have not been completely wiped away. Hearing this, he couldn't help murmuring: "God Su, understand me."

[Chu Tang has many internal problems, but the external threat is even more deadly! 】

[When the Tang Dynasty was first established, tribal countries such as Beidi and Nanman continued to invade the borders of the Tang Dynasty, and even annexed them, which greatly endangered the national security of the Tang Dynasty.

In addition, under the rule of Songtsan Gampo at that time, Tubo was rich and strong, Vientiane was renewed, and the Tang Dynasty was poor and weak. Therefore, the excessive development of Tubo was also a great hidden danger for the Tang Dynasty. 】

[However, in this very unfavorable situation surrounded by external and internal troubles and surrounded by harsh environments, Li Shimin has opened up a new era by relying on his excellent military leadership, political talent and broad mind! 】

The video played here, and the music suddenly became high-pitched.

[It is undeniable that Li Shimin has his own flaws, but he belongs to hundreds of emperors in China, who can be a perfect existence? 】

[They are also human beings, and as human beings they make mistakes. 】

[As long as he knows his mistakes and can correct them, and he is brave after knowing his shame, he is worthy of the title of "Ming Jun". 】

[After Li Shimin succeeded to the throne, he humbly listened to the opinions of good ministers, reviewed the elegant words, selected and appointed many outstanding officials who were good at governing the country and the people.

[He ruled the world with culture, practiced frugality, and recuperated with the people. 】

[He taught farming and mulberry, set an example, and worked in the fields with Empress Changsun, which won the approval of the people. Agriculture has achieved greater development, and compared with other dynasties, it has survived the drought and floods more smoothly Year. 】

[Next, let’s take a look at Tang Taizong Li Shimin’s specific military exploits and achievements. 】

[In addition to the previously mentioned "four wars and five princes", Tang Taizong Li Shimin also launched four border wars, destroying two countries, conquering one country, and defeating one country! 】

Liu Bang laughed dumbly and said: "Did this guy beat up all the neighbors around once? Is he a war mad?"

However, Ying Zheng admired Li Shimin's behavior very much: "I have to conquer the world in my great China! If someone refuses to accept it, then beat him until he kneels down and begs for mercy! If he doesn't beg for mercy, then there is no need for existence."

Liu Che couldn't help shaking his head after seeing it, and sighed: "I haven't even completely solved a Hun, but he has ruined four countries."

"As expected of the man in my heart, I swear, I must actively prepare my military forces, and I, Da Song, can't be the coward in their mouths anymore!" Zhao Kuangyin swore secretly.

Zhu Yuanzhang sighed and said: "If the people's livelihood does not go astray, my Ming Dynasty should not be weaker than the Tang Dynasty, and we have to study hard."

With bright eyes, Zhu Di clenched his fists and said, "I, Zhu Di, will never lose to any emperor!"

[In the fourth year of Zhenguan, Emperor Taizong Li Shimin launched a war against Eastern Turks in order to eliminate the threat from the north. 】

Li Shimin raised his head suddenly, and said in surprise: "The fourth year of Zhenguan? Isn't that this year???"

In Li Shimin's world, countless ministers and soldiers also began to discuss.

"Your Majesty is going to use troops against the Turks this year? This is really unexpected!"

"You didn't even think about it, and the Turkic people couldn't even think about it! Your Majesty's trick is to kill you while you are sick, brilliant!"

"If this is the case, that would be great! I want to save my life and join the army, and I want to avenge my family!!!"

"With the war together, I don't know how many Tang men died on the battlefield. I think we should be more cautious."

"Hmph! Without strong force, without the men of the Tang Dynasty swaying their blood, how could you have a chance to moan here?"

"."

[Turks have always been active in the northern Mongolian Plateau and Central Asia. They split into two divisions, East Turks and West Turks, during the Sui Dynasty.The military strength of the Eastern Turkic forces is relatively strong, and it also caused a lot of troubles for the Sui Dynasty at that time. 】

[Interestingly, when Sui Yang Emperor Yang Guang was besieged by the Turks, it was the 16-year-old Li Shimin who conspired to relieve Sui Yang Emperor from being trapped!But in the end, it was Li Shimin who persuaded Li Yuan to raise troops and overthrew the rule of the Sui Dynasty. 】

[At the end of the Sui Dynasty and the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, the Turks were already very powerful.

Khitan, Shiwei, Tuyuhun, Gaochang and other ethnic minorities also all surrendered to the mighty Turks.

When Li Yuan raised his troops back then, he was worried that the Turks would cause trouble behind his back, so he personally wrote a letter to make friends with the Turks.

Later, Li Yuan seized the power of the Sui Dynasty and established the Great Tang Dynasty. The Eastern Turkic Khan claimed that he had helped Li Tang to make meritorious service, and harassed the border of the Tang Dynasty and detained Tang envoys.After making peace several times, the East Turks broke their promises several times. Anyway, they wanted to bully the Tang Dynasty, so as to show their big brother's style, but the Tang Dynasty in Li Yuan's period just dared to be angry and dare not speak out. 】

[After Tang Taizong Li Shimin succeeded to the throne, on the one hand, he gave the people in the country to recuperate and restore national power; on the other hand, he also trained soldiers to enhance the military power of the Tang Dynasty. 】

[After the national power was restored, Li Shimin began to use small groups of troops to wipe out some ethnic minorities dependent on Turks; at the same time, he also secretly supported Xue Yantuo and other ethnic minorities to isolate Eastern Turks. 】

[Because the wings were cut off, coupled with the heavy snowfall in the East Turkic region, natural disasters and man-made disasters continued, their strength was greatly weakened.

[Tang Taizong Li Shimin saw the opportunity came, and immediately ordered Li Jing, Minister of the Ministry of War, to lead a six-way army with a total of more than [-] soldiers to march into Turkic! 】

[Li Jing's army has been devastated all the way, advancing triumphantly!
Wherever the army went, the grassland tribes surrendered one after another, and the Eastern Turkic Jieli Khan could not resist, so he had no choice but to retreat northward.

Later, Li Jing led [-] fine cavalry, and traveled day and night, chasing the Turks, beheading [-] people, subduing [-] Turkic people, hundreds of thousands of livestock, and successfully captured the Eastern Turkic Jieli Khan.

So far, the Eastern Turks perished. 】

"Quick! Write it down!!!" Fang Xuanling immediately said to the officials around him: "Write down all these details, and at the same time send more people to block the news, not a single fly can be released from Taishan County!"

"Follow orders!!!"

After making these arrangements, Fang Xuanling couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief, "Fortunately, the arrangements were made in advance, otherwise the information in the oracle would leak out, and the consequences would be disastrous!"

As soon as they heard that Li Jing destroyed the Eastern Turks, countless people's thoughts came alive. After all, this is equivalent to a military exploit for nothing!

"Hahahaha! There was a heavy snowfall on the grassland last winter, and countless cattle and sheep froze to death. Yesterday, I was still thinking about whether to suggest to His Majesty to take the opportunity to go north."

"Old Cheng, your skin is still as thick as before. Cough cough cough" Qin Qiong teased Cheng Yaojin, but couldn't help but began to cough, "It's a pity that I can't go to the battlefield anymore with my body."

"Thank you for the compliment!" Cheng Yaojin patted Qin Shubao's back to help him calm down, and replied, "Don't worry, Shubao, I, Lao Cheng, earned your share of military exploits for you!"

"And my old cow!"
