Spoiler History: Starting from the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 602 The Empire Fleeing West
Li Shimin is still thinking about ways to make money.

Du Ruhui has already figured it out:
"Zhao Gou's ability to prosper to this extent... is probably inseparable from the exorbitant taxes."

Fang Xuanling also understood and said clearly:
"Then the Northern Song Dynasty had three reforms and two increases in taxes, but the country was destroyed without any reduction."

"At the founding of the Southern Song Dynasty, new taxes were added in the name of fighting against the Jin Dynasty, but Xiaozong did not disobey Gaozong..."

Speaking of this, Fang Xuanling suddenly remembered that there was also Emperor Gaozong in the Tang Dynasty. After a moment of confusion, he changed his words:

"There is no ability to disobey Zhao Gou. From this, we know that after the Longxing peace negotiation, the Lin'an small court was more able to exploit than before."

"In this way, those who promoted business in Lin'an in the Southern Song Dynasty either used the name of Deshou Palace to tax Zhao Gou, or waited quietly for exploitation by hundreds of officials. No wonder..."

Before he finished speaking, he heard Changsun Wuji agree:
"No wonder later generations called these two Song Dynasties prosperous."

"The harsh punishments suffered by merchants, workers, traders, and foot soldiers were several times greater than those in the Tang Dynasty. If you don't work hard to survive, it is tantamount to waiting for death."

"Zhao Gou of the Southern Song Dynasty did not do anything to benefit the world. Instead, the people of the Southern Song Dynasty became those who put their own feet on the top to benefit the world."

"If the officials are healed and strengthened, the thieves and thieves will retreat, and the people will be more peaceful."

Zhang Fei touched his head:?
Kong Ming and Lu Su also worked on it themselves, so they quickly understood what later generations said.

"It's a shame?"

……

How does this dung tyrant live? Isn't it clear to future generations?

Wei Zheng shook his head, his face full of sadness and sigh, and he obviously didn't want to comment any more.

Xuan even is Daqi:

"If Zhao Gou can die early, it will really benefit the world without causing any harm."

"This dung tyrant is nothing more than a thief in the city, but he can run rampant in the countryside."

And from another perspective, it is also quite rare for later generations to say that there is no one who can outdo someone who is selfish.

"What does this shit bully mean?"

"If an ordinary man is selfish, his neighbors will be evil; if the emperor is selfish, he will bring disaster to all the people."

But a bucket of "domestic sewage" can beg money from big households and extract money from ordinary people.

Liu Bei suddenly felt helpless. He had also discovered that the more military advisors there were around his third brother, the less he thought about it.

So in the end Liu Bei sighed:
"How difficult it is for the people!"

And it is conceivable that in the Southern Song Dynasty, when there were many people, little land, and high taxes, how much food could be grown on one acre of land to support his wife, children, and children?

This... Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui looked at each other without laughing or crying, does it seem to make sense?
They themselves understood the profound meaning of the Yang Zhu School's saying that "you should be reborn without losing a single hair."

"If Xuanzong dies early, he can keep his reputation as a wise king."

But now it is Mencius's evaluation of Yang Zhuzhi's words, which is more suitable as an evaluation of the Southern Song Dynasty Emperor.

Zhang Fei now only hates that this light curtain can only be seen, otherwise he will be directly stabbed to death, thinking about it, it will also make the other party feel a lot more relaxed.

In this case, the importance of field fertilizer is self-evident.

"I only praise the prosperity of the capital, but ignore the accumulated disadvantages of the countryside. Calling it a management loophole is appropriate."

Lu Su whispered:
"To be able to maintain dominance for a thousand years is no different than what you can see by looking at the sky or measuring the sea."

"I'm afraid there are Chai Ba, Mountain Ba, Road Ba and the like in places we haven't heard of yet."

Kong Ming and Liu Bei nodded and kept this in mind. For them, Yizhou, Hanzhong, and Guanzhong were all conquered by leading troops. People from all over the country have seen with their own eyes how powerful the army is. Many of the people's children and grandchildren are even still in Xuande Gong's army. It has only been pacified for two or three years now, and there has never been such a situation. Waiting for the thieves to settle down.

But what about another three to five years, another ten or twenty years?

Kong Ming felt that preventing problems before they occur is also an important task of government management.

[So, here we go again.

Jin Emperor Zhao Liang showed his loyalty to the Southern Song Dynasty, and Song Emperor Wan Yangou showed his filial piety to the Jin Kingdom.

Then was there no emperor who could be considered a normal person at that time?

Of course! But when it comes to this king who was contemporary with Wanyan Gou, we might as well turn our perspective back a bit. 】

Li Shimin straightened his back.

For some reason, he vaguely felt that what the younger generation said next might have something to do with Tang.

And then I watched the map of East Asia on the light screen begin to change rapidly:
The scattered small country was reunited into a weakened empire.

The weakened empire began to expand again.

Immediately, Li Shimin looked at the shrinking numbers in the upper right corner and vaguely understood what had happened.

The final time was fixed in 682.

[When we talked about the famous generals of the early Tang Dynasty before, the famous general used at the end was Pei Xingjian, who unfortunately died of illness.

In 682 AD, Ashina Chebo, the pseudo-khanate of ten surnames of the Western Turks, rebelled with his troops and intended to restore the Turkic Khanate.

Gaozong - Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty ordered Pei Xingjian to be the general manager of Jinya Road and take charge of the quelling the rebellion. However, in the end, Pei Xingjian died of illness before the army was launched.

At that time, Emperor Gaozong was seriously ill, so the counter-rebellion was still pending. In the end, Wang Fangyi, who was stationed in Tingzhou (one hundred kilometers northeast of present-day Urumqi), led an army to attack boldly and rushed to the aid of Gongyue City.

Wang Fangyi was Pei Xingjian's old partner before. His most famous achievement was building a city in the Western Regions called Suiye City. Well, it was the Suiye City that was said to be the birthplace of Li Bai.

But it is difficult for Wang Fangyi himself to realize how much his career has changed world history.

After rushing to the rescue of Gongyue City, Wang Fangyi won a great victory. Seeing that the situation was not good, Ashina fled westward. The two sides finally faced off at Rehai (now Issyk-Kul Lake in Kyrgyzstan).

Rehai is located in Central Asia. It is the base area of ​​the Western Turks. The surrounding nomadic tribes have been inextricably linked with the Western Turks for two hundred years.

Relying on the shadow of their ancestors, Ashina Chebo quickly gathered a hundred thousand people from the surrounding areas.

After Wang Fangyi's pursuit failed to break the formation for the first time, Ashina Chebo began to try to use his "Golden Family" surname to instigate the Turks under Wang Fangyi's command.

This behavior was not very successful. Wang Fangyi united with the Turks under his command to use the trick, and finally succeeded in raiding the royal tent of Ashina Chebo, defeating the Turkic coalition forces, and finally pursued them all the way to the Chu River. Seeing that the time had begun to enter winter and the rivers were freezing, Wang Fangyi Choose to retreat.

This battle had a far-reaching impact. First of all, the defeat of Ashina Chebo was equivalent to the current Pope being beaten in the Vatican. His prestige was completely lost and he could no longer command the Turkic tribes. The Turkic Khanate was thus swept into the garbage of history. heap.

The Turkic general Chiqi Hongfu, who was loyal to Wang Fangyi, was promoted to a guerrilla general, and was promoted all the way, and finally reached the rank of general, Jia Shangzhu Kingdom. Then he used his influence to integrate the Turkic tribes loyal to the Tang Dynasty. His third name was Ge Luo. Lu then entered the stage of history and was a decisive force in the Western Region and Central Asia until the Yuan Dynasty.

The Turkic rebels who escaped Wang Fangyi's pursuit crossed the Chu River and wandered westward under the leadership of a leader named Wu Quan. At that time, the Mukanna Uprising broke out in the Abbasid Dynasty in Arabia, and this Turkic people joined in.

Although they were quickly defeated, the defeated army successfully crossed the territory of the Abbasid Dynasty and entered the Khwarezm area. After intermarrying with the local ethnic groups, this Turkic people established the Oghuz Yehu Kingdom. Call themselves Oghuz.

In the mid-10th century, the Seljuk tribe, which belonged to the four major tribes of Oghuz Yehuguo, became independent under the leadership of its leader.

Starting from the 11th century, the independent Seljuk Turks successively conquered the entire territory of Persia, marched into Baghdad, and took control of the Abbasid dynasty of the Arab Empire. In the subsequent war, they were led by Sultan Arslan and defeated the Byzantines head-on. The Seljuk Empire reached its peak by capturing its emperor Romanus IV.

But the good luck of the Turkic Seljuk Empire did not last long. Fifty years later, the eliminators of the East Asian monster house joined the Central Asian battlefield. 】
