Short video: Shocking the world

"Zhao Kuo is the one who only talks about war on paper."

"The Battle of Changping was a competition between the national strength of Zhao and Qin. Zhao's grain production was not as good as Qin's."

"Lian Po held his ground and wanted to consume the Qin army's spirit and food, and seize the opportunity to defeat the Qin army in one fell swoop. Unfortunately, he was replaced by the King of Zhao before he got the chance. Zhao really couldn't afford it at that time!"

"How many Qin soldiers died in the Battle of Changping?"

"There is no detailed record in history books. Some say that the Qin army suffered 200,000 to 300,000 casualties, while others say that the Qin army suffered only 50,000 casualties."

"50,000 Zhao soldiers died in the battle, and were Four hundred thousand people were buried alive and the whole army was annihilated."

"Zhao Kuo had no experience in major battles, and the logistics, military equipment and food were insufficient. The King of Zhao kept urging him to fight a decisive battle with the Qin army, which made him lose his sense of proportion."

["Ninth place, Li Jiancheng, the founding prince of the Tang Dynasty, whose achievements surpassed those of Emperor Taizong of Tang."]

["Li Jiancheng is indeed capable and has made contributions, but if he wants to surpass Li Shimin, shouldn't he think again?"]

["Looking at the entire history of China, how many people are qualified to be compared with Li Shimin?"]

Dear Li Shimin: Tell the truth, and tell more truth.

【“The tenth, Liu Chan, the last ruler of Shu Han who ‘made Sima Zhao laugh to death.’”】

【“Like many people, I think Liu Chan is a good man, a mediocre ruler, but not a tyrant,”】

【“After Zhuge Liang’s arranged officials were used up, Shu Han began to go off track and eventually fell.”】

【“This alone shows that he is not capable enough to run a country.”】

“That’s right!” Zhao Gou in the historical plane was very happy and said, “Liu Adou is a waste. He used up all the officials recommended by Zhuge Liang and had no one else to use. He also reused the eunuch Huang Hao. He is completely mediocre and incompetent. How can he compare with me?”

Equally happy was Emperor Yingzong of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Qizhen.

These two people were upset that people in later generations said that they were not as good as Liu Chan.

"Even so, Liu Chan is still better than Zhao Gou and Zhu Qizhen, at least he is obedient!"

"Liu Chan is suitable to be a puppet emperor. As long as he has wise ministers to assist him, the world will be peaceful and the people will be safe."

"If Zhu Qizhen was as obedient as Liu Chan and handed over the fighting to those civil and military officials, there would not be the disastrous defeat of the Battle of Tumu!"

——

[Give him a world map, does Qin Shihuang, who can fight through Europe, count? ]

[Yes. ]

"Why is this tyrant not listed among the Ten Sages of the Net Temple?"

[The most outrageous ones are still Zhu Qizhen and Wanyan Gou. ]

People in the historical plane: They are indispensable everywhere!

Zhao Gou: I have made contributions. I defended half of the Song Dynasty. How can Zhu Qizhen, that waste, compare with me?

Zhu Qizhen: ▼_▼

[Guo Jia is a staff officer, and he really can't show any famous achievements. What achievements does Zhuge Liang have? ]

[Solved the internal and external troubles of Shu Han, pacified Nanzhong, launched five northern expeditions, and entered Hanzhong. He also knew music, painting, calligraphy, invention, architecture, water conservancy, law, astronomy, weapons, agriculture, metallurgy, armor making, etc. There are also literary works, such as "The Memorial to the Emperor on Leaving the Capital", "The Book of Admonitions to My Son", "On Friendship", "On Guangwu", "On the Philosophers", "On Concession", as well as military works and military deductions, etc., aren't these? ]

"I have admired Wu Hou since I was a child!"

"Do you understand history? The Zhuge Liang in the novel is in your mind."

"Prime Minister Zhuge, a god!"

"What else can't Zhuge Liang do?"

[Did the Northern Expedition win? ]

[How many people won the Northern Expedition? Xie Xuan and Liu Yu also failed in the Northern Expedition. Didn't they fail? ]

[It is not a credit to make Liu Bei one of the Three Kingdoms from nothing? Isn't this considered the founding of a country? The world was divided into three parts, and Wei and Wu did not unify the world. ]

[Zhu Yuanzhang succeeded in the Northern Expedition, so he is the best. ]

Zhu Yuanzhang: It's guaranteed.

[Li Shimin and Li Jing both praised Zhuge Liang's military ability. If you say they don't understand military affairs, just ignore what I said. Chongzhen wanted to escape or not. ]

[Zhuge Liang's strongest point is not military, but politics. ]

[Of the thirteen states in the world, Wei occupied nine states, Wu occupied three states, and Shu only had one state.

With one state against Wei's nine states, the other side was defeated step by step, and the other side was afraid of Shu like a tiger, and the government and the public were shocked.

Moreover, the weaker side was the attacking side, and the food, grass, and manpower were all at a great disadvantage. Even before the Northern Expedition, the Buffs were stacked up.

There were no soldiers and generals, Meng Huo was stirring up trouble, Cao Wei was watching covetously, and Dongwu was watching like an eagle and a wolf. The previous Yiling Battle burned all the elite troops in a big fire.

The enemy had three reinforcements, and one of them was larger than the entire army.

In terms of supplies, the road to Shu was difficult, as difficult as climbing to the sky. Every time we retreated, we basically retreated because of insufficient food and grass.

Even a good cook cannot cook without rice.

I really don't like this situation.Who can succeed in the Northern Expedition? ]

"Isn't Zhu Yuanzhang powerful? Let him go. And Li Shimin."

"It's useless for any of them to go, unless they can bring the technology of later generations."

"Later generations said that if Zhu Yuanzhang lived in the late Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms, he wouldn't even have the chance to beg for food."

[The most critical point of Emperor Xin's failure was that he underestimated human nature, and the people were not enlightened at that time. He abolished human sacrifice and gave slaves a chance to succeed, but in the end, it was not only the nobles who had their cakes touched, but also the slaves who were not regarded as human beings by the nobles who rebelled against him. ]

[It was Zhou Gong who abolished human sacrifice. After Zhou Gong abolished human sacrifice, the tradition of human sacrifice was still retained in the vassal states built by the remnants of the Shang Dynasty. ]

[Human sacrifice was abolished, but slaves still existed. I saw that when the Zhou emperor died, a large number of slaves were killed to be buried with him. ]

"Damn slave owners!"

"The tomb of the Zhou emperor should be dug up and his bones dragged out and paraded through the streets."

[Ran Min is a famous general in the forum. He was praised as a hero who rebuilt China. It's so funny. It's as if Zhang Gui of Former Liang didn't resist the Five Barbarians. ]

"Who is Zhang Gui?"

"Zhang Gui was the Taizu emperor of Former Liang. He killed the barbarians to protect Han culture and made Liangzhou a paradise for the Han people."

[If Ran Min can be praised, Wu Sangui can also be praised. Ran Min rose to power by the blood of the Han people. ]

Wu Sangui: Should I be happy or angry if he is listed with Wudao Tianwang?

[I really don't understand what Li Hongzhang contributed? I remember that a few years ago, I commented on a video and was scolded for a week. ]

[I really don't know what he contributed. ]

[A few years ago, everyone praised Li Hongzhang. When you are young, you don't know Li Hongzhang. When you are old, you know the real Zhongtang. ]

[This sentence is pure sarcasm. Look at what contribution Li Hongzhang made. He suppressed the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, which was a contribution to the Qing Dynasty. His family received a lot of benefits.

He made a lot of money by promoting the Westernization Movement.

He negotiated with foreigners and gave Japan 100 million silvers less, and gave the Eight-Nation Alliance 450 million silvers. This became his contribution.

He signed an unequal treaty. In the eyes of the world, he became the scapegoat pushed out by the Qing Dynasty. ]

[The 450 million silvers were paid in installments for 39 years, and the interest was compounded to 980 million, and finally 576 million was paid. ]
