Spoiler History: Starting from the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 614: The accompanying troubles
[Looking back at history now, we must admit that the grassland conditions are extremely unique.

Sitting on the four grasslands of Hulunbuir, Ulanqab, Xilingol, and Horqin, once a power rises among them, the Central Plains Dynasty may need several generations of hard work to solve it.

In this regard, the Liao Kingdom is relatively close to the water, because the Khitan originally rose on the grassland, so the founding of the country focused on attacking and subduing the grassland Thorny Wugu tribe and the enemy tribe, and established its rule over the grassland.

In comparison, what the Jin State did was not average. The extremely unstable political ecology within the Jin State, the super-national treatment of the Jurchen nobles, and the attitude of never having peace talks with the Southern Song Dynasty at the founding of the country made the Jin State have a negative attitude towards the grassland. The control is somewhat inadequate.

Especially from about 1130 to 1148, the century-old trend of East Asia at that time was basically determined by the actions of these few people:
Yue Fei, Wan Yan Gou, Yelu Dashi, Hebule, Jin Xizong Wan Yan Dan.

We all know how strong Yue Wumu is, how pitiful Wanyan Gou is, and how powerful Yelv Dashi is.

Among them, Yue Wumu's Northern Expedition was able to succeed frequently. Of course, it was because the Yue family's army was strong and Yue Fei was a handsome man through the ages. But another reason was that Jin Xizong put a lot of energy into the grassland at that time.

Yelu Dashi's two hundred horses fled westward, and they were able to establish Western Liao in just eight years. Of course, it was not because these two hundred people would be divided, but more because of the remaining power accumulated by the Liao Kingdom over the grassland for two hundred years. It is supported by grassland tribes like the Man tribe.

At that time, the emperor of the Jin Kingdom could not help but worry about this situation. After all, the Northern Expedition of the Southern Song Dynasty would only recover a little lost territory. If the grassland tribes united under the call of Xiliao, the old nest would be really in danger.

Therefore, the political situation in Asia during this period was very simple:
Yue Fei attacked the Jin people, and Wan Yangou attacked Yue Fei. The Jin Kingdom fought against Yue Fei while conquering the grasslands. The grasslands listened to Xiliao, but Xiliao went to the west.

In 1141, Yelu Dashi defeated the Seljuq Empire in the Battle of Katwan, gaining unlimited prestige.

The Khitan left the grasslands and went deep into Central Asia. The Jin Kingdom was unable to conquer the grasslands from the beginning to the end. The Southern Song Dynasty was too far away to even watch the excitement.

The Jin Kingdom either failed to win, had a mutual victory or defeat, or suffered a major defeat. In desperation, the Jin Kingdom proposed peace at the expense of cutting off twenty-seven regiments and giving some living supplies to the grassland every year, and consecrated Hebul Khan as the Mongol King. , both sides officially stopped fighting.

It’s really a great time!
The counting method of this climate map is very novel, but according to what Light Screen said and compared with historical records, Zhenguan monarchs and ministers can still understand most of the meaning, especially the changes in temperature that are extremely conspicuous.

Mongolia's independence began from then on, and Genghis Khan was born in this environment and began to conquer the unified grassland. 】

However, the Western Liao, which had penetrated deep into Central Asia, obviously had little common interests with the tribes based on the East Asian grasslands. The Naiman tribe separated from the Western Liao, and the Khitan's two-hundred-year control over the grasslands was completely eliminated.

The Heavenly Khan couldn't stop shaking his head:
"As will be said by later generations, the Kingdom of Jin could have taken advantage of these hundred years of warm seasons to build up the country and rejuvenate the country, extending the country's development and prosperity."

"Mengwu Kingdom..."

"really……"

On the other hand, during this period, the Jin Kingdom and Hebule of the grassland fought five wars.

"In the end, they indulged in pleasure and ultimately gave away this good time to others."

Li Shimin remembered something, hurried to his desk and rummaged around, and soon held the climate change map in his hands.

At this moment, this picture was passed around the Ganlu Hall, and everyone could clearly see that from the Han Dynasty to the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the climate could be said to have been extremely prosperous only three times, one in the early Han Dynasty, one in the early Tang Dynasty, and the other in the late Southern Song Dynasty. At the beginning of Yuan Dynasty with Mongolia.

And the people in the temple are very clear about the great role of climate - every year when praying for blessings in the circle, how can we not pray for good weather?
Among them, Wei Zheng felt particularly pity:
"If Yue Wumu can express his ambition, as long as he can restore Hebei, and take advantage of the weather for ten or twenty years, he may not be able to overturn it."

"After all, he was thirty-nine years old when he died. Even if he were to fight twenty years later, he would still be in a body that could fight. How many lands could he revive in twenty years, how many elite soldiers could he train, and how many generals could he raise? "

But in the end, everyone knows this idea, and it can only stay at the word "if". So in the end Wei Zheng stopped himself and sighed softly the poem he had just heard:

"It's true... the evil spirit pleases others, and the saint of poetry does not deceive others."

Wei Zheng was still sighing quietly, while Li Shimin's face already looked a little solemn.

What he noticed was the initial comment about the prairie.

Although I don't know how future generations will divide the four grasslands, I can sympathize with them when they say that once there is a hero in the grassland, it will take several generations of the Central Plains to pacify it.

Liu Han was to the Xiongnu, Li and Tang were to the Turks, and the Song, Liao and Jin Dynasties were to this Mongolia.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty mobilized a powerful army to chase the Xiongnu to the north, so that the Huns fled far away and the northern border was safe.

When Li Shimin was the king of Qin, he often fought against the Turks. After he ascended the throne, he was humiliated by the Wei River. Therefore, he had references for the methods used by Han Wu and Sui Wen to manage the Northern Territory.

What is obvious in the battle between Han and Hungary is that if elite troops attack with force and perform great feats, they can seriously injure the enemy's vitality. On the contrary, if a large army sends out people to eat horses and chew them, it will be a defeat unless it is a great victory.

Therefore, Li Shimin admired the old general Li Jing very much whether he attacked Dingxiang with three thousand soldiers in the snow at night to destroy Jieli, or chased him north to destroy Tuyuhun.

Of course, the Battle of Tuyuhun now deviates quite a bit from history. The artillery battle showed off its power, but Hou Junji, who was supposed to have made a contribution here, instead chased him south to Nanyang. In the letter sent with the rice seeds a few days ago He said he wanted to bypass Linyi and continue to the west. I don't know what happened now.

Hmm...thinking too far.

In short, Li Shimin felt that facing the tribes on the grassland now, he might have figured out the most effective way to fight and attack, which may not be the easiest to use.

So the remaining question is - how to control the grassland so that it does not cause disaster?
The Han Dynasty fought with the main caretakers as assistants, forcing them to surrender. In Sui Dynasty, it is to make distant friends and close attacks, to separate the strong and combine the weak, making it divided into two parts: east and west.

Judging from the history of the Tang Dynasty told by later generations, he did not solve this problem until his death, and after that, neither the Pheasant slave nor the Wu daughter had a good solution.

Not to mention Li Longji, An Lushan was born in a Turkic tribe, which was enough to give him a glimpse of the limitations of the Tang Dynasty's strategy towards Turks.

The Khitans were originally from the Monan tribes but eventually rebelled against the Xia rule and suppressed the grasslands for two hundred years. It may be regarded as using barbarians to control barbarians, but judging from the looks of it... the effect may be really limited.

If there is anyone in the palace who can figure out what is best, it is Changsun Wuji.

The relative watched His Majesty tap his finger lightly on the position marked "Yuan" on the climate map and remained silent. He pondered for a while and said:

"Why are you worried, Your Majesty? The Xiongnu have been in trouble since the Han Dynasty. The Mongolian and Yuan Kingdoms can only last a hundred years. I think Zhu Ming also has a way to check and balance. As long as this light curtain is still there, we can always see it."

Li Shimin nodded and sighed:

"It's a pity that no one from the Ming Dynasty can be seen in this light curtain."
