Spoiling History: Starting from the Three Kingdoms

Zhao Guangyi could feel that as he thought of the jade ax in his mind, his whole body stiffened. ▲𝐺𝑜𝑜𝑔𝑙𝑒 Search for 𝑠𝑡𝑜𝑐𝑜𝑚Read▲

The stone bench that comes with the stone table is not high enough, so you have to stretch your neck when you sit and look at the light curtain on the stone table.

Zhao Guangyi didn't dare to think how smooth it would be if the jade ax was swung down directly at this moment.

Of course, he also understood that his brother would not be so decisive.

It's only secondary that the two have the same mother. The most important thing is that the elder brother has always regarded himself as a benevolent king and a wise king.

Didn't he see those imperial officials who had no power to restrain a chicken and could make him speechless?

But after all, just thinking about this possibility still makes Zhao Guangyi feel a little cold down his spine.

So he slowly but firmly retracted his neck, then raised his head to look at the other side to strike first:

"Brother, do you have doubts about me?"

Zhao Kuangyin touched the jade ax out of habit, and then his eyes looked a little strange:

"Third brother, why are you holding your neck and talking?"

There were five brothers. The eldest brother Zhao Kuangji died early, Zhao Kuangyin was the second, and Zhao Guangyi was the third.

Zhao Guangyi coughed and realized that he had lost his composure. After seeing that his brother's reaction was not very big, he realized that there was something wrong in his heart, so he hurriedly sat upright.

Faced with his brother's change of attitude, Zhao Kuangyin laughed loudly:

"Third brother, you and I are brothers of the same flesh and blood, and we know our integrity and integrity, how can we do this unbearable thing?"

Zhao Guangyi's heart, which was about to jump into his throat, fell back into his stomach.

"But." Zhao Kuangyin's face was dark, and Zhao Guangyi had to work hard to read his brother's expression every time.

At this time, I didn’t dare to look carefully, and I couldn’t hear any emotion or anger from my words:

"But third child...how do you understand Buddhism?"

Zhao Guangyi's heart, which had already fallen back, jumped hard, and his throat became a little dry again.

But before Zhao Guangyi could come up with a best-of-both-worlds answer, Zhao Kuangyin had already laughed again and patted him on the shoulder:

"If the third child has read Buddhist scriptures, he should go to the temple to offer incense to the empress in his spare time to express his longing for her."

The Song royal family called their mother empress, and here Zhao Kuangyin was referring to his biological mother, Queen Mother Zhaoxian, who had been deceased for ten years.

Zhao Guangyi naturally agreed to this, but his heart was full of doubts: What is his brother's attitude?

Zhao Kuangyin thought about it in his mind. If he wanted to do something big, he should not act rashly and he would need the help of a capable assistant.

It's time for Zhao Zeping to be transferred back from Heyang.

…

In the Chengdu government office, Zhang Fei stopped eating fruit to pass the time.

After hearing what happened, I couldn't help but slap my thigh:

"This Tang Dynasty style is really overbearing... I really like it!"

"But why does this Japanese country still marry its own niece? Zhenno..."

These words made Liu Bei cough loudly as if he was choking on water, directly interrupting Zhang Fei's words.

Zhang Fei was very surprised, seeing his elder brother coughing while still having time to wink at him.

So Zhang Fei quickly understood, nodded to his eldest brother, then stepped over and slapped his eldest brother on the back with a wave of his hand.

So the guards standing guard outside heard the lord's roar:

"Yide!"

At the top of the list, there was a lot of excitement, and the brothers were in harmony. Kong Ming and others were asked to do what they should do, and lightly skipped this topic.

After all, Emperor Xiaohui and Queen Xiaohui are uncles and nephews, so this matter is really not a secret.

However, this period of Han history is indeed a bit messy... Kong Ming made a mental note that he would have to persuade Yide to read more carefully later.

Pang Tong thought carefully:

"Regardless of the merits and demerits of Guo Wuteng's behavior, there are a few things he can learn from this behavior."

Kong Ming also has his own suggestions:

"Even in a foreign land, everything is done based on the people's support."

"Be strict with the barbarian king and be lenient to the barbarian people."

After saying these words, Kong Ming also fell silent. It is not easy to achieve these eight words.

King Yanleyi needed to completely and utterly defeat the enemy on the battlefield.

Treating the barbarians leniently is more complicated. Based on the reference between Tang and Japanese, we must not only provide craftsmen skills to make them admire China, but also strictly prevent key craftsman skills from leaking out and harming China.

The difference needs to be adjusted specifically according to the other party's national conditions.

And...turning his head suddenly, Kong Ming's thoughts jumped further:

It is hard to say whether the Three Provinces and Six Ministries of the Tang Dynasty are suitable, but it seems that the general supervisor can already refer to it and make reforms to the Shaofu.

Nowadays, the engineering studies in Jingyi and Jingzhou are developing steadily, but the Shaofu offices are already mixed.

And the management of craftsmanship is related to the destiny of the country, and considering dealing with other countries in the future, it is time to ask the lord to implement a new system to take charge of craftsmanship.

Pang Tong also fell into silence, tapping the table with his knuckles, and thoughts passed through his mind, some of which were included in the list of candidates, and some of which were rejected directly.

If the target was another country, Pang Tong found that he seemed to be more at home on this journey.

The four barbarians are not as vast as the Central Plains, they are small countries and their people are ignorant.

One can prosper with one plan, but one can overthrow it with one.

Just thinking about it made Pang Tong feel particularly interesting.

How do you say this feeling in Yizhou dialect?

So fun!

…

In the Manna Hall, Du Ruhui looked at the light curtain's ridicule and felt from the bottom of his heart that Wei Zheng really should thank his junior.

Compared with this, Wei Zheng's harsh advice in the past can only be regarded as a breeze blowing on his face.

However, ignoring the messy affairs of the Japanese state, Du Ruhui still paid more attention to the credentials from the Tang Dynasty, and because of this, he frowned:

"Japanese King?"

Then it suddenly dawned on me that this Japanese country was so arrogant and so arrogant with Guangshen... Emperor Yang's credential claimed to be the emperor, which made Emperor Yang unhappy.

But Emperor Yang didn't care, but Gaozong cared about it very much. After all, the younger generation had ridiculed Gaozong's "Emperor" more than once.

From this point of view, Gaozong may still have the intention to seize the title of Japan, but...

"This Japanese country does not need an emperor."

Li Shimin also noticed the appearance of the certificate of credence, and at the same time, he thought it was very appropriate and appreciated it.

The only pity is that, judging from the rhetoric and habits of later generations, the title of Emperor of Japan was eventually passed down.

Li Shimin has the sensitivity of being an emperor, just like Tian Khan is not just a nice-sounding title of vanity, but what it represents is the establishment of the vassal relationship among the Hexi tribes, and the great cause of the Turkic War in their hands. .

Behind the title of Emperor, Li Shimin can also read:

I just don’t want to recognize Hua Xia as my father.

But precisely because of this, Li Shimin's interest in Japan became even stronger.

This is like a knight taming a horse. Li Shimin always likes to choose strong horses to start with.

Because the process of taming a fierce horse can make his blood boil, and often a fierce horse will become the best war horse after being tamed.

The same goes for the conquest of countries.

Especially when I think about the fact that the current person in charge of the Japanese country is a queen, my interest has increased sharply.

If the Haidong strategy can be achieved, will Li Shimin's achievements be added to:

The first Han emperor to capture the queen.

[The Haidong situation in the early Tang Dynasty also came to an end with the official loss of the Korean Peninsula.

But we can still talk about shipbuilding.

After all, our modern era is also called the era of sea power.

What is the era of sea power?

Nearly three-quarters of the planet Earth is covered by water. Today, 90% of the world's commercial transportation is completed through the ocean. Today, the vast majority of the world's population lives no more than a few hundred kilometers away from the ocean.

Only with a navy can we have sea power. Only with sea power can a country's political, military, economic and other fields be qualified to be complete.

China's modern history of humiliation largely came from the sea. The Eight-Power Allied Forces, Britain, and Japan all opened the country's door from the sea. The fundamental reason was also the loss of sea power.

Sea power needs to be guaranteed by the navy, and the navy requires a country to have excellent shipbuilding technology.

Then our China is an agricultural civilization and is not close to the ocean. Is there any inherent shortcomings in shipbuilding technology?

The answer is of course no.

Today's history can be divided into three peak shipbuilding periods: Qin and Han, Tang and Song, and Yuan and Ming.

Needless to say, the First Emperor's great talents and strategies were not only a series of brilliant achievements, but also the achievement of repairing the Ling Canal and straightening the water channel, and the Qin navy was involved in the conquest of the Huns and Lingnan.

Not to mention the record of Xu Fu going to sea, it is impossible for the shipbuilding industry to be underdeveloped.

In addition, the legend that Xu Fu is the ancestor of the Japanese people is not new to modern times.

During the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, Yichu, a monk at Kaiyuan Temple in Jeju, wrote "Six Notes of Yichu", which mentioned the story of Xu Fu's visit to Japan.

Someone asked how he knew it, and monk Yichu said that it was told to him by Kanfu, a senior monk from the Japanese country.

The records of Xu Fu's landing were also mentioned in the Japanese "Japanese History", but they were mostly classified as legends, because there were more than twenty commemorations of Xu Fu's landing in Japan, and there were five related Xu Fu monuments in the Xu Fu Temple and Xu Fu Temple. There are more than a dozen of them, and it’s hard to tell whether they are true or false.

But according to Zhangyu UP's own speculation, this matter is more likely a fabrication by Japanese monks. After all, Buddhist monks in Tibet were able to fabricate the rumor that Su Dingfang burned the Potala Palace in order to preach.

After Buddhism entered the Japanese territory, it quickly became inseparable from the local Shinto religion. In this case, it was quite normal to directly arrange Xu Fu as the ancestor of the Japanese people to preach.

But most of us modern Chinese people don’t really want to recognize this grandson.

The Tang and Song Dynasties were the second peak period of ancient China's shipbuilding industry. The Tang Dynasty invented the watertight compartment technology. The astronomical calendar in the Song Dynasty was very developed. In the later period, there was also the jib technology learned from Arabia.

Theoretically speaking, this period should be the best starting point for China's ocean navigation, but two reasons made this starting point aborted.

First of all, it is of course related to national policy. The feudal dynasties starting from the Tang Dynasty generally held a repressive attitude towards domestic farmers engaging in business or overseas colonization and immigration.

But this ban has no effect on foreign immigrants. The result is that in terms of cross-border trade, the Li Te people, the Khitan people, the Uighur people, the Persians, the Dashi people, the Shatuo people, etc. have successively made achievements in China. With great success, they achieved a commercial monopoly either through the Western Regions or by sea. These were collectively called Semu people.

For example, Zhou Shizong Chai Rong, who was forcibly inherited by Zhao Kuangyin, had followed the Jietiao family to sell tea in Jiangling when he was young. This Jietiao family was a standard Semu person.

During the Tang and Song Dynasties, the Semu people spawned immigrant communities of hundreds of thousands of people in Guangzhou and Quanzhou, controlling sea routes and monopolizing cross-sea trade.

Later, the West took stock of the eight major ports in the Middle Ages, and Guangzhou and Quanzhou were on the list. During the Yuan Dynasty, Ibn Battuta, a great Semu traveler, came to Quanzhou from Morocco and recorded his experiences along the way and praised Quanzhou's prosperity.

But according to his records, there were Moors, Arabs, Persians, Tocharians, etc. active on this Maritime Silk Road, but there were no Chinese.

How can we study navigation technology and develop ocean-going ships without sailing at sea? 】
