Spoiler History: Starting from the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 738: It's a pity that there is no Phoenix

"Go straight to the land of Youyan and reopen the sky of the Song Dynasty."

Zhao Kuangyin shook his head, then turned to Master Kong Jiong and said:
"Your title of descendant is false."

"But this ambition is far greater than yours."

"It rises and falls in a flash. Although it is similar to you, it can still be called majestic."

Zhao Guangyi didn't know what to say for a moment, and finally he could only refute in a depressed tone:
"If I were born in this chaotic world, my ambition would not necessarily be less than that of this person who pretends to be a god."

"That's right." Zhao Kuangyin nodded, which surprised Zhao Guangyi a little, but then he saw his brother continue:
"The time of defeat will definitely be shorter than that of the Han family."

After a brief comment, Zhao Kuangyin looked up without even looking at his brother's expression, and said thoughtfully:

"You are clumsy in military strategy. Instead of worrying about it, it is better to promote your strengths."

"Later generations called these religions evil cults, which shows that even if later generations had unpredictable powers of gods and ghosts, their people still could not get rid of the influence of religion. Most of the dynasties had laws to regulate religion."

"These supernatural things will not die out in troubled times, but will flourish in prosperous times. We should have laws to control them and prevent them."

Although the words were unpleasant to hear, they were considered quite mild for Zhao Guangyi, and the intention of making him completely commit himself to Buddhism became increasingly obvious. But at least he saw hope of improving his current situation.

On the other hand, Qian Chu was a little curious:

"Then this Great Ming, could it be that it is the Ming of the Ming Zun Sect?"

This remark immediately caused Li Yu to laugh:
"Qian Wende, you are really fanciful. Since the Hongwu Emperor claimed to restore China, how could he name the country in the name of a cult? It's too absurd!"

"The name of the Ming Dynasty must have been inspired by the government's use of states as names."

Qian Chu blushed a little. He felt that this guess was too unreliable, but being ridiculed by Li Yu made him angry:
"Then there are people in later generations who say that the Hongwu Kaiming was from the south to the north. My family has lived in Wuyue for generations, and we know Mingzhou, a distant continent, very well."

"If the Ming Dynasty had won the country with Mingzhou, it should have used its navy to rule the world. Why would it be trapped by the Japanese invasion?"

Li Yu was also speechless, but finally insisted:

"Even so, it is definitely not Mingzunjiao as the country's name."

Qian Chu sneered: "It is definitely not Mingzhou that is the country's name."

Seeing two elders confronting each other, Zhao Dezhao said he didn't understand. However, Zhao Kuangyin knew the rift between the two, so he just told his son:
"Ignore it. Just take a closer look at the lesson of the Yuan Dynasty's demise."

"Remember not to repeat Yuan's mistakes."

This kind of teaching by example was not the first time, but it was definitely the most special one. Zhao Dezhao even had doubts in his mind:

The fall of the Yuan Dynasty clearly happened hundreds of years later. Can it really be called an old story?

……

"Zhima Li, Peng Da, Wang Quan, Meng Haima..."

Now Zhu Yuanzhang really felt nostalgic.

To him, each of these names was once well-known and was passed on by word of mouth among the rebels.

In history, they were almost all people who died suddenly, like a fleeting star in the night sky. The Yuan historians called them thieves, but later generations called them righteous armies. Even Chen Shuozhen, who was hidden in the corner of the Tang Dynasty book, called it an uprising.

An indescribable complex emotion brewed in Zhu Yuanzhang's heart, and finally he suddenly said without any reason:
"Sesame Li... We remember that he donated a warehouse of sesame seeds to disaster victims, and the people remembered his kindness, so he got this nickname."

"My original name is Li Er, but unfortunately the word 'Phoenix' is missing."

After saying this, Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head and chuckled twice, which made Zhu Biao and his other brothers a little confused.

Empress Ma was very clear about it. Not long ago, people in later generations talked about the founding emperors of the Ming, Yuan and Tang dynasties together, and said that Kublai Khan admired Li Shimin very much.

But doesn't your husband admire and admire Emperor Taizong of Tang? And take him as a role model? Of course, now it's not Emperor Taizong of Tang but Li Erfeng.

But in short, in the past, my husband only looked up to Li Erfeng, but now that he knows her own evaluation, given his competitive nature, he probably wants to compare with her and wants to see who can be called the hero in this chaotic world.

So she squeezed her husband's hand and comforted him:

"In the matter of pacifying the world, people's backgrounds and situations are all different, and their methods of warfare are also different. How can we compare them?"

"But now that we have all gained the favor of the Light Curtain, it is just right for us to govern the country accordingly."

"Too."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded in agreement:
"We should ask how long Emperor Taizong of Tang has left to live. If he has already reached the 20th year of Zhenguan, then it would be a bit of a bully."

"Not only that, we also need to help Biaoer avoid disasters, strengthen his body, and take over our Ming Dynasty."

"Our Ming crown prince is definitely far superior to that Tang Gaozong!"

……

"A woman rebelled and proclaimed herself emperor?"

Li Chengqian listened to his father repeating a sentence beside him, and for some reason there was dissatisfaction in his words.

Then I saw my father turned his head and said:
"When you travel around the world, remember not to underestimate women."

"The Song and Yuan dynasties had many restrictions on women and were criticized for this, while many people praised the Tang dynasty for being lenient towards women. This should be kept in mind."

"Although this may lead to the danger of political chaos..."

At this moment, Li Shimin remembered several women's names in the history of the Tang Dynasty. He couldn't help but twitched his mouth, but still said:

"But if we publicize the harm of women, what will our children think? This behavior is even worse than throwing away the food with the bathwater."

Li Chengqian did not understand the complicated feelings in his father's words, but he still said carefully:
"Father, if you want to be lenient with women, I think you should start by giving them a name."

Li Shimin was stunned for a moment, then glanced at Empress Changsun, with a more cheerful smile in his eyes, and said:
"Yes."

"Write down your ideas into a plan and present them to me."

Li Chengqian bowed and accepted the order.

[You once said that the world is peaceful and there is no trouble. Now the Red Turban Army has invaded half of the country. What strategy do you have for dealing with them, Prime Minister?
The above sentence was a question asked by Emperor Shun of Yuan Dynasty while pointing at Tuotuo's nose.

It must have been very frustrating for Tuotuo: This is not what your Confucian classics teach.

But no matter what, we still have to send troops to suppress the rebellion first.

Within a year, Tuotuo sent three people to fight against the Red Turban Army, but as the peasant uprising became more and more powerful, Tuotuo had to lead a large army to quell the rebellion himself.

In 1352, in the first battle, Tuotuo captured Xuzhou and killed Li Zhima. Then the two sides entered a stalemate.

Although the peasant uprising army was powerful, they were still in a state where no one was willing to submit to the other.

As for Tuotuo, he once again used a very classic war operation of the Chinese regime: he began to establish military farms in Hebei.

After all, the currency system not only failed to improve the economy but made it worse, and war requires money and food.

However, at that time the Yuan Dynasty had all the elements that would lead to the demise of a dynasty. It was impossible for Tuotuo to take care of the internal affairs of the court while leading the troops outside. The idle Emperor Shun of Yuan began to favor flatterers and became obsessed with practicing the Tantric practice "Great Joy" which was presented to him by a minister named Hama.

You can tell what this thing is just by looking at the name, so I won’t go into details here.

In short, Tuotuo, who was riding a horse in Hebei and whipping it, saw Yuan Shundi riding a horse in the court and whipping it, and he completely hated Hama:
It's not that Your Majesty is not wise, it's just that there are treacherous people around the Emperor. 】
