Spoiler History: Starting from the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 626 Tang Feng Picture Album
"Are there invaders coming from the sea?"

Tomorrow's face changed a little, and he turned to look at the long coastline on the screen of light, silent.

This is enough, Queen Ma nodded in her mind.

To be able to rise from a commoner to the throne, one naturally has a tenacity that is unimaginable by ordinary people.

But what this tenacity brings is the same unusually stubborn temper.

Fortunately, such a temper is not unexplainable, at least her rational words can still be listened to.

And she didn't need to say too much, because the beloved man in front of her was just a little stubborn, but he could never be called stupid.

"Just like Khwarezm, like those Russian princes."

"I'm afraid I wouldn't have guessed that Hu Yuan would travel thousands of miles to rob them, even if I didn't think hard."

Tomorrow Zi spoke slowly, as if speaking to others, and also as if sorting out his inner thoughts:

"As much as we think about it now, we can't guess that any barbarian will sail a boat to knock on the gate of the Ming Dynasty."

"If the bandits come from the sea to imitate Hu Yuan's conquest, they will definitely attack Yingtian Mansion and go straight to our heart."

"Linjiang defends the pirates. Could this be the so-called emperor guarding the country?"

Queen Ma was stunned for a moment:
So, it seems to make sense?
But, if it is true...

Where is the bandit?

Extending along the coastline from Daming, the couple almost immediately had their first guess:
"Japanese pirates!"

Queen Ma mentioned an old incident:
"In the first year of Hu Yuan's reign, the Japanese turned merchants into bandits, plundered the Qingyuan Mansion and burned it with fire. Hu Yuan's army could not resist, and the barbarians became arrogant."

Zhu Yuanzhang remembered more clearly:

"More than twenty years ago, our rebel army won consecutive battles on Liaoyang Road. However, while we were fighting Hu Yuan at the front, the Japanese attacked Jin Fuzhou from behind, killing countless people and taking wealth..."

Shaking his head, he still remembered that Liu Futong, who started the uprising there, still held the banner of "reopening the Song Dynasty", but in the end Liu Futong...

Thinking of the brave general on the water, Zhu Yuanzhang sighed with emotion and simply skipped it:
"We originally thought that this Japanese pirate only had the guts to steal money."

"It seems that Xu underestimated these pigs and dogs."

……

Genghis Khan's Western Expedition also silenced the monarchs and ministers of Ganlu Palace.

They have been sightseeing for a long time, and have even seen the scenery of the earth, but because of this, they also understand better how far this journey is.

Thousands of miles away, there are thousands of tribes and different winds, and hundreds of countries stand in great numbers, all of them are trampled by iron hooves, giving them the color of Mongolia.

Li Shimin suddenly remembered the words of praise from later generations when the Han Dynasty also expanded its territory at such a rapid pace:

"Drink the vast sea of ​​horses, seal the wolf to live in Xu, draw the great river to the west, and form the counties of Qilian."

"It's a pity that even Genghis Khan didn't have the power to drink from the Mediterranean."

So Wei Zheng stood up and wanted to come forward to dissuade him, which made Li Shimin laugh and appease him:
"Why should Xuancheng be anxious? Although I envy his vast land, I also remember the words of later generations that he only knows how to bend a bow and shoot big eagles."

The emperor of the Tang Dynasty had always been magnanimous towards these trusted ministers. It would be false to say that he was not envious of such an unprecedentedly vast empire, but he could also clearly see the dangers involved.

Just like this, at the end of Maharaja, in five years, the vast territory of Central Asia was acquired, and everyone at that time thought that a powerful country had suddenly emerged. As a result, not to mention the Mongol invasion, just the harem's involvement in politics, the abolition of elders and the establishment of younger ones caused domestic turmoil. In the end, Temujin destroyed the country in two years and shattered into dust.

On the contrary, the eldest son, who was disliked by the Queen Mother of Khwarezm, still had the ambition to resist, and the demise of his country is a pity.

And even this Mongolia, how long can it stand?
In later generations, won't Central Asia collapse into a bunch of small countries like Stan?
Therefore, Li Shimin thought very broadly:

"Rome is thousands of miles away, and it is difficult for me to leave. As long as I, Tang Youen, can go there and draw the scenery of the Mediterranean on paper for me to see, that will be enough."

The Yan brothers were looking at the light screen to add details to the vast map in their hands that stretched from the Mediterranean Sea in the west to the Japanese island in the east. After hearing this, they couldn't help but look at each other, and they both felt a little moved.

In the end, Li Shimin also said casually:
"It is advisable to open up the sea and establish a foundation that lasts for thousands of years. Don't be complacent and imitate the practice of bringing light and clavicle!"

Although I don’t know where the junior’s accent came from, he said it twice, but after reading it twice, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty said...it’s quite fun.

Saying this made Empress Changsun feel a little regretful:
"At that time, we should have asked Master Xuanzang to stay in Chang'an for a longer period of time."

"I'd like to learn some painting techniques from Supervisor Yan, so that I can retain some of Tianzhu's style."

"We, the younger generation, once said that in order to understand the history of India, we still need to read the travel notes of Master Xuanzang. It can be seen that the history of the country has also been cut off, which is very pitiful."

This sigh made Li Shimin suddenly have an idea in his mind. Then he turned around and met the worried eyes of the Yan brothers, so he quickly comforted:

"How can I ask you to go west? And you don't have to say self-invitation, I will definitely not allow it."

As a result, the two brothers' previous feelings of apprehension and excitement turned into a state of dumbfounding.

But Yan Liben thought about what Empress Changsun said, and suddenly an idea came to his mind:
It’s not just that the later generations of the Zhu Kingdom didn’t know its current appearance?

Look at the later Han Dynasty's admiration for "Along the River During the Qingming Festival" and their research on "Zhang Yichao Traveling Picture".

It can be seen that the common sights of prefectures and counties in the Tang Dynasty and the style of the Tang army are difficult to know for future generations.

In this case, why not cultivate more people who can make fine brushwork, and imitate the "Yongle Dadian" of the Ming Dynasty to compile an atlas that can show the style of the Tang Dynasty?

This idea is definitely feasible!
[After Genghis Khan returned to Mobei after completing his Western Expedition, the first thing he faced was the rebellion of the Xixia Kingdom.

This sentence is a bit strange to read at first, because the power comparison between Mongolia and Xixia is not only very different, it is almost the same as Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty fighting Han Shang Emperor. How dare Xixia?

But in fact, if you look at the history of the Liao, Song, and Jin Kingdoms, it is not difficult to find that life in Xixia was really hard after the arrival of Mongolia.

In the past confrontations between Song and Liao or between Song and Jin, Xixia was caught in the middle and had both sides.

As long as your knees are weak enough, your submission is sincere enough, and your etiquette is thoughtful enough, Xixia will be able to live in peace.

Not only that, this stupid wealthy man in the Song Dynasty was also willing to give away coins. If he said a few kind words, he would receive a steady stream of coins, silk, grain, and tea. His life was not too comfortable. He was a real Roman kneeling clan.

But after becoming a vassal to Mongolia, life began to get weird.

Mongolia's foreign wars, whether it was conquering the Jin Dynasty, conquering the Western Liao Dynasty, or conquering Khwarazmo, Mongolia required both money and food as well as troops and horses from Xixia.

But after Mongolia was defeated, the division of spoils had nothing to do with Xixia. It was almost the same as the current paid work.

The kneeling tribe of Rome turned into the kneeling tribe of mules and horses, and Xixia couldn't stand it anymore.

So when Mongolia was busy heading south to India and north to Vietnam in the Caucasus, Xixia made a decision:
Lianjin fought against Mongolia. 】
