Video spoilers history, starting with the blitzkrieg on Poland

Chapter 367: There is a lone loyal person in the northwest! How miserable was the Chu State when it was established?

And in the Tang Dynasty.

Li Shimin watched Zhang Yichao's performance.
It is also full of emotion.

Originally, Li Shimin had high blood pressure while watching this video.

Besides, Li Shimin was already quite old.

And Li Shimin,
I really have high blood pressure.

So see behind,
See the Tang Dynasty give up Longyou and Hexi.

When I saw the brutal rule of Tubo.

Li Shimin's emotions were somewhat out of control at one point!

Fortunately, until Zhang Yichao appeared,
We saw how he, with his humble status, fought his way out of the rule of the ferocious Tibetans and recovered eleven states!

Established a land ruled by the Han people.

This made Li Shimin both admired and moved.

Finally, she couldn't help shedding two tears and said slowly:

"Today I know that there is a loyal person in the northwest!"

……

The sky curtain also continues.

【According to the regulations of the Tang Dynasty court. 】

[Local military governors are required to have family members in Chang'an as hostages.]

[Although Zhang Yichao was not yet an official Jiedushi at that time. ]

[However, in 851 AD, Zhang Yichao still sent his brother to lead a delegation to Chang'an to report the latest war situation in Hexi region to the court.]

[The delegation received a warm welcome from all levels of Chang'an.]

【Tang Xuanzong was also very happy. 】

【Ordered to appoint Zhang Yichao as the governor of Guiyi.】

[Officially gave a name to the vassal state under Zhang Yichao’s jurisdiction. ]

【Return of the Righteous Army.】

[In 863 AD, Zhang Yichao led a mixed force of 7000 Han and Tibetan people.]

[Recovered the last Tibetan stronghold in the Hexi Corridor, Liangzhou. ]

[Thus, the Silk Road, which had been cut off since 763 AD, was reopened by Zhang Yichao after 100 years.]

【The century-old Silk Road reopens! 】

[In order to commemorate Zhang Yichao's achievements, his nephew specially painted a portrait of Zhang Yichao in the Mogao Grottoes in Dunhuang.]

【Thanks to this move. 】

【It allows us modern people to see what this hero looks like. 】

This mural.

[It is the famous "Zhang Yichao Leading the Army on a March." ]

[This picture from a high school history textbook records the majestic momentum of Zhang Yichao leading his army to fight against Tubo and recover Hexi.]

【There are more than 200 people drawn in the whole picture.】

[It can be seen that Zhang Yichao's Guiyi Army has a very neat military appearance and a magnificent momentum. ]

【Everyone is armed to the teeth. 】

[It looks like he is very capable in fighting, with a Tang Dynasty style. 】

[Under the leadership of Zhang Yichao, the Hexi region quickly recovered and returned to its pre-occupation state.]

[Historical books commented on the rule of the Guiyi Army as follows:]

[“It extends to Yiwu in the west and Lingwu in the east, covering an area of ​​more than 4,000 miles, with a population of one million and six counties with mountains and rivers that look just like the old days”]

【At the same time that the Guiyi Army began to rise and expand. 】

【Tang Xuanzong in Chang'an was also working hard to govern the country, which brought the last revival of the Tang Dynasty, known as the Dazhong Reign.】

[During this period, people once thought that the Tang Dynasty would become great again.]

【During this period when the Guiyi Army rose to power. 】

[The former Snowland Empire, Tubo, was reduced to ashes in the ongoing civil war. ]

【The old rival Tubo was destroyed.】

[And the Tang Dynasty is still alive and still has the last laugh. ]

[Although we know that the so-called revival and the so-called peace in the later period of the Tang Dynasty were actually just a matter of picking a general from a group of short people and making do with it.]

[But generally speaking, there was nothing to regret before the demise of the Tang Dynasty. ]

[Before the fall of the Tang Dynasty, it destroyed the Uighurs, defeated the Nanzhao, and outlasted the Tubo.]

[Almost all old rivals have been sent away.]

[Later, the Khitan, which became a major threat to the Central Plains dynasty, had not yet risen at the end of the Tang Dynasty.]

[It can be said that Datang left without any regrets.]

【For the Tang Dynasty, a dynasty whose martial virtues reached their peak. 】

【No regrets! 】

【And the appearance of Zhang Yichao also brought the last touch of brightness to the giant of the Tang Dynasty.】

[In 867 AD, Zhang Yichao's brother who stayed in Chang'an died.]

[69-year-old Zhang Yichao decided to leave his hometown where he had lived all his life and go to Chang'an, a place he had never been to, as a hostage.]

【When he arrived in Chang'an. 】

【The whole city is cheering for him! 】

【Zhang Yichao was promoted to the title of Right Divine Military Commander in the imperial court and was appointed as the governor of Hexi.】

[This 69-year-old man was able to spend the last peaceful time of his life in Chang'an, a distant place where he had served all his life.]

【He died in Chang'an at the age of 74. 】【Born in Shazhou, died in Chang'an. 】

【Zhang Yichao realized his dream with his efforts and his own footprints.】

【That is it.】

【Return to Tang.】

The curtain fell, and the final barrage of comments was swiping the screen like crazy.

《Return to Tang! My scalp is tingling! 》

"There is a lone loyal person in the northwest!"

《Fuck! He personally serves as a hostage!》

"This is the true loyalty of the Chinese military spirit!"

《After watching it, I was deeply moved! 》

"Mogao Grottoes scenic area in Dunhuang is giving money!"

"A fierce man of this level cannot enter the Martial Temple."

"Do you still remember the head of a man flying high under the Chang'an city tower in the seventh year of Xiantong?"

"The Tang Dynasty fell only after it had killed all its enemies."

"In any case, Zhang Yichao finally returned to his homeland, which he had never seen before."

……

I have finished watching a video about Zhang Yichao and the Guiyi Army.

The ancients were all deeply moved when they traveled through the ocean of history.

And I just felt refreshed.

At this time, a new sky gradually appeared.

【Eight hundred years of Chu State! Read the history of Chu State in one go!】

[More than 3600 years ago, the Chu tribe, who claimed to be descendants of the fire god Zhurong, was expelled by the Shang Dynasty at that time.]

【They were forced to leave the Central Plains and migrate southward.】

[After countless hardships, they took root in the then barbaric and humid southern region and called themselves Chu people.]

[Although I was in the southern part of the border at that time. 】

[But the Chu people have always had the ambition to return to the Central Plains. ]

【After following the Zhou Dynasty and overthrowing the rule of the Shang Dynasty. 】

【The Chu people finally established their own country.】

【However, the Chu people were not treated fairly by the Zhou Dynasty.】

[They had made great contributions in overthrowing the Shang Dynasty, but they were still only granted the barbarian land in the south. ]

【The title is only a Viscount. 】

【The land is only 50 miles. 】

[The first King of Chu, Xiong Yi, led his people to migrate to Danyang. After the official establishment of the country, they lived in extreme poverty.]

[The King of Chu built an altar in the city and wanted to offer sacrifices.]

[But sacrifices must have offerings.]

【At that time, the state of Chu was so poor that there was not even a cow to be found in the whole country.】

【In the end, I went to other countries next door and stole a cow. 】

【The Heavenly Offering Ceremony was completed.】

[Because they were afraid of being discovered by the calf's original owner, they killed him overnight. 】

【Turn a raw cow into a mature cow. 】

[This is also why the Chu State liked to hold sacrificial activities at night.]

【Later, King Cheng of Zhou called on all the princes in the world to form an alliance. 】

[Various princes sent people to pay tribute to King Zhou.]

[The poor and weak Chu State was really too poor. 】

[There is really nothing worthwhile to offer as a tribute. ]

[I could only choose the best thatch, wooden bows, and arrows from the country and go to the alliance. ]

【But because Chu was considered a barbarian, small country, and poor people, the gift was also shabby. 】

【So the first King of Chu, Xiong Yi, was discriminated against at the meeting. 】

[Not even qualified to sit down. ]

[I could only do odd jobs, adding firewood to the fire, filtering wine and pouring water for the Zhou emperor and other princes.]

【It’s time for the meeting to officially begin. 】

[The King of Chu could only stand guard at the door with the leaders of other Yi tribes and be responsible for watching over the torches.]

Outside the sky.

When Emperor Xin of the Shang Dynasty saw this, he could not help but sigh and say:

"Look, look, I told you Chu people are not smart."

"I, the Great Shang, am only asking you to vacate the land and move to another place to live."

"It won't humiliate you!"

"Like to rebel, like to follow the Zhou people?"

“Are Zhou people good people?”

"If it weren't for the Zhou people, they would have controlled two-thirds of the country, and their army would have been stationed on the other side of the river, and I would be powerless to stop them."

"Otherwise, I will definitely send 100,000 troops to destroy the Zhou people!"
