Spoiling History: Starting from the Three Kingdoms

【In fact, there were still people who wanted to do things in the Western Xia Kingdom at that time.

When the Mongols destroyed the Jin Dynasty for the first time, it was Xia Xianzong who negotiated with the Mongols.

Later, Li Zunxu, who was quite talented and had won the first place in the Western Xia imperial examination, directly abolished Xia Xianzong and established himself as the emperor of Western Xia. This person was later known as Xia Shenzong.

At the beginning of his accession to the throne, Xia Shenzong still followed the national policy of being a dog for Mongolia.

But when Mongolia went west to attack Khwarezm, Xia Shenzong began to actively make trouble. He first refused Mongolia's request for conscription and grain, and then actively sent envoys to repair relations with the Jin Kingdom and discuss plans to form an alliance against Mongolia. He even sent envoys to Sichuan many times to obtain the support of the Southern Song Dynasty and "discuss major plans" together.

But no matter how many ideas there were, they could not change the fact that Jinxia was weak at that time. Faced with the disobedient Western Xia, Mongolia directly dispatched troops to besiege the capital of Western Xia, so Xia Shenzong could only obey obediently and had no room for resistance.

When the news of Mongolia's destruction of Khwarezm came, Xia Shenzong also anticipated the fate of Xixia. He did not want to be the king of a fallen country, so he simply followed the style of the Song Dynasty and abdicated to his second son, becoming the emperor of Xixia.

In fact, Xixia is now in this state, no matter what he does, it is too late.

Two years later, Temujin officially returned and began to settle accounts with Xixia, and Xixia was destroyed.

In the battle of Mongolia's destruction of Xixia, the death of Genghis Khan was more suspicious.

The "History of Yuan Dynasty" describes his death sparingly, so some scholars speculate that Genghis Khan's death may not be very glorious for the Mongols.

From Yuan to Ming, there are probably two directions in the description of his death in unofficial history:

One is that Temujin was injured in the battle and eventually died due to his advanced age. There are also many theories about the reasons for the injury, including falling off a horse and arrow wounds.

The second is that Temujin forcibly took the Xixia princess and was assassinated while sleeping with her. There are many different opinions about the princess's murder weapon, including a dagger, poisoned wine, and teeth.

Another fake is the record of John Plano Carpini, a Portuguese envoy to China 30 years after Temujin's death. He swore that Temujin was killed by lightning, but the probability of this is too low.

However, before his death, Temujin had clearly arranged the fate of Song and Jin.

In his view, Song and Jin were mortal enemies and could not reconcile. In this case, he could completely implement the strategy of uniting with Song to destroy Jin, and he believed that the Song people would definitely agree.

The general trend of the subsequent Mongol-Jin war was also similar to Temujin's estimate.

However, the difference in details was quite large. 】

"This Xixia princess is really a brave woman, she is capable of assassination."

"However, since she is sleeping with the emperor, how can she carry poisoned wine and a dagger? But if she kills the Mongolian pride with her teeth, she can be called a brave man."

Zhang Fei shook his head and sighed, thinking that the founder of the country in later generations was right to say that Genghis Khan only knew how to shoot eagles with a bow.

He fought countless battles and made countless enemies. In the end, even the way he died was hastily recorded. There was only one question:

"Even if Temujin was old, he should have been able to win the fight with the princess. How could she succeed?"

"This..."

Liu Bei pondered for a moment and had a guess in his mind, but looking at his brother's sincere eyes, he could only suppress his thoughts and shook his head:

"I really don't know."

Zhang Fei turned his head to look at the two military advisors, and Lu Su waved his hand hurriedly:

"I don't know either."

On the contrary, Kong Ming tapped the feather fan lightly. Zhang Fei said:

"What's the point of worrying about these? Whether the princess used wine, a knife or teeth, she was determined to die when she assassinated him, and she wanted to avenge the destruction of her country and her family."

"You must praise her heroism and understand her determination to die, that's all."

Zhang Fei nodded to accept the advice, and then listened to the military advisor continue:

"On the contrary, it is very common to lead troops in battle and die from falling off horses or being shot by stray arrows. It is better to take it as a warning and be careful of these things."

Lu Su was stunned for a while and shook his head lightly. Zhang Fei nodded heavily to indicate that he had taken note.

Liu Bei pondered for a while and said:

"Later generations said that it was difficult for her to be killed by lightning... Could it be that later generations really did what the military advisor said, and studied the lightning that flashed for only a moment, and turned lightning into lightning to make lights?"

Liu Bei envied the lights that could be seen everywhere in the scenery of later generations, and wanted to see it with his own eyes.

But the military advisor had solemnly said that turning lightning into lightning was just a guess, and there was no clue about the verification method.

Oh no, it can't be said that there is no clue. Kong Ming looked through the ancient books and records, saying that when thunderstorms occur, a single tree in the wilderness can often attract lightning, and a tower on the top of a mountain can also attract lightning.

Based on this, if someone is wearing armor and riding a horse in the wilderness during a thunderstorm, or standing a single tree, it can attract lightning, but how to store lightning is the most clueless problem.

The third brother was eager to try, but was slapped back by Liu Bei.

After a few people discussed in a low voice but to no avail, Liu Bei turned his attention to this name:

"The Portuguese... this seems to be the country that invaded the Ming Dynasty?"

Kong Ming had a photographic memory, nodded and said:

"They are good at building ships, and they are called galleons. Yueying has set up a workshop in Chang'an to build galleons the size of children to study their principles."

"And if we calculate it according to history, it was Portugal that started the Western invasion of China."

"According to the calendar, the Portuguese fleet entered the South Sea more than two hundred years after this person."

Two hundred years is a long time, enough to accommodate the Wei and Jin dynasties.

Two hundred years is very short. Whether it is the Han, Tang, Ming, or even the Northern and Southern Song dynasties, their national life spans are longer than this time.

Finally, Liu Bei shook his head and said:

"If we want to go west now, we only need to face the changes in Rome. The Tang Dynasty is more than 400 years longer than us, so we need to prepare in time."

Kong Ming raised his eyebrows, thinking that this statement was a little far-fetched. If he remembered correctly, at the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, the only great powers on the east and west sides of the Mediterranean were the Eastern Roman Empire and the Frankish Empire, and there was no trace of Portugal.

However, it is not a bad thing to remind him early, so he nodded.

〖Liu Bei: Your Majesty, Kong Ming told me that it took less than 300 years from the time Portugal sent envoys to the time it led the fleet to invade the east. The rise and fall of a country in 300 years is like a moment. We need to take this as a warning. 〗

In Ganlu Palace, Li Shimin was slightly dissatisfied:

"Why didn't Wu Hou tell me in person?"

Du Ruhui and Fang Xuanling looked at each other helplessly:

You mentioned Wu Hou every time before, no wonder Emperor Zhaolie passed it down.

However, Fang Xuanling still said solemnly:

"What Wu Hou said is right. Think about that Yelu Dashi's two hundred riders fleeing westward, which can shock the powerful countries in Central Asia."

"Now my Tang is very different from the history of later generations. It is possible that there are also heroes like Yelu Dashi who have endured for a hundred years like Temujin and then turned back to conquer the east and west."

"So even if the Western Regions are recovered, we should not be complacent."

Li Shimin was helpless:

"How can I not know? And the only trouble in the Western Regions now is the Turks."

"On the contrary, Liaodong and Southeast Asia require more attention and it is difficult to be complacent."

...

The Ming emperor in Kunning Palace naturally remembered the time of Temujin's death.

He then buried his head in calculations:

"Then twenty or thirty years after Temujin's death, and then more than two hundred years later... Isn't that more than a hundred years after the founding of our Ming Dynasty?"

"This is said in the name of Emperor Zhaolie, doesn't it mean that our Ming Dynasty will have to face the invasion of a Western country called Putao after a hundred years of its founding?"

"The bandits are coming from the west, from the sea?"

In a short period of time, Zhu Yuanzhang was shocked, and even had the urge to pick up an axe to chop this thing into pieces and throw it into the stove in the imperial kitchen.

But as the emperor, and having accepted the assumption that the bandits came from the sea, he would not be the one who covered his ears and stole the bell, so he also guessed:

"Could it be that this is the appearance of Emperor Zhaolie and Zhuge Wuhou, thinking of our achievements in expelling the Hu Yuan, so they warned us?"
