Kingdom of Heaven and Han

Zhao Ding couldn't help but be stunned as he watched the Song Army quickly break through the Jin Army's right wing.He opened his mouth for a long time before saying: "This, this, the Jin Army is so vulnerable!"

Wang Xiaolie turned around and glanced at Zhao Ding before saying: "It depends on who the opponent is. The Jin army originated from the white mountains and black waters. They drink blood like hair. It is true that they can fight hard. In more than ten years, they destroyed the Liao Dynasty and the Song Dynasty. It seems arrogant. However, as long as there are no problems with the Central Plains Dynasty's army and the court has a clear mind, how could it be overturned by such a group of people? The Central Plains Dynasty's problem lies with itself. "

Zhao Ding nodded blankly.

The army is an organized armed group, and the core of combat effectiveness lies in the organization.As long as we keep this in mind and strengthen the organization of the army, the army can ensure a certain level of combat effectiveness.Coupled with the huge quantitative difference between the two sides, the result cannot be too bad.

At the turn of the Song Dynasty, there were tens of millions of forbidden troops across the country. How many troops dared to say that they were qualified?The imperial court knew that when it suppressed the peasant uprising army.A few thousand Imperial Guards can break through tens of thousands.Then it is not surprising that the same result occurs when facing an army that is more organized than itself.

The combat effectiveness of the Jin Army can be seen through the changes in the Song Army's own strength.After several years of fighting, the strength of several generals has been strengthened.Up to now, basically Han Shizhong can draw a draw when facing the Jin Army.The troops of Zhang Jun and Yang Yizhong were not as good as the Jin army.Yue Fei's army is stronger and can basically guarantee victory in every battle against the Jin army.In other words, the current combat effectiveness of the Jin Army is similar to that of the armies of several generals.

Two or three years ago, Wang Xiaolie's army was slightly stronger than the Jin army.Now, it is much better.This is just like during the Jingkang period, when Tong Guan was able to suppress Fang La with ease, he was a hundred times more confident.When they encountered the Liao and Jin armies, they were beaten to the point where they lost their armor and seemed to be vulnerable.

The Gushen opposite now is like Tong Guan in Yanjing.According to previous experience, I made almost no mistakes, but suffered setbacks everywhere.Not because of anything else, because the Jin army at this time was far inferior to the Song army on the opposite side.But Ceres himself has not yet realized this.

The right wing of the Jin army collapsed and was immediately out of control.Ceres pushed his reserve troops forward, but could not stabilize the formation.They had no choice but to retreat while fighting, leaving nearly [-] corpses behind and retreating to the military camp behind.The military camp could not be defended, so they had to continue withdrawing all the way to Taigu.

Wang Xiaolie stood on the hillside, looking at the messy battlefield, and felt as peaceful as ever.It can now be confirmed that the combat effectiveness of our own army is much stronger than that of the Jin Army.In the Taiyuan Basin, with 20 troops, they still had the upper hand against the Jin Army's 33 troops.

It took China more than 800 years from the Song Dynasty, which was hit like a wake-up call, to finally recognizing the source of the army's combat effectiveness.If he hadn't traveled through time from later generations, Wang Xiaolie wouldn't know how to deal with the Jin people.

If we look at the dynasties from the Song Dynasty onwards, seriously speaking, the combat effectiveness of the Central Plains dynasties has declined since the Wei and Jin Dynasties.The Five Barbarians disrupted China. On the one hand, the Hu people mastered new knowledge, and on the other hand, the Central Plains dynasty itself fell.Until the Tang Dynasty, after a long period of integration with the Hu people in the north, the northern dynasty was finally replaced by Han people and became the Central Plains dynasty.

The period when the Tang Dynasty's military power was at its peak was not too long. Among them, the most talked about by later generations was the title of "Khan of Heaven" by Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin.

Is "Khan of Heaven" an honor?For the Central Plains Dynasty, of course not.In fact, the emperors of the Tang Dynasty had similar titles. After the Anshi Rebellion, the emperor himself abolished this title.Because the people of the Tang Dynasty knew that this was definitely not an honor for the Central Plains Dynasty.

Emperor is a supreme title that cannot be added to.Any modification of the title of emperor is a derogation.

When adding "Tian Khan", Li Shimin made it very clear. "As the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, am I doing the things of the Khan?" He knew very well that as the emperor, all the powers of the "Khan of Heaven" were included in it. Acting in the name of the Khan was naturally a downward move, but it was just a downward move. Solace for the peoples of the north.

Of course, the reason for accepting this title is that "Tian Khan" is not only a title, but also a system in the Tang Dynasty.For the northern peoples, they were still governed according to their national customs, and the imperial decree used "Tian Khan" to imprison them.In other words, it was the one country, two systems of the Tang Dynasty.Due to political reasons, later generations regard Li Shimin as the "Khan of Heaven" as an honor, which can only make people sigh.In fact, serious historians rarely regard this as an honor.When you really can't avoid it, you can only be ambiguous.

The uniqueness of the title of emperor determines that there is only one emperor in the world.The emperors of Vietnam, North Korea and other countries next to them, and the emperor of Japan, are either arrogant or claiming to be false.As for the emperors of European countries, it was because the intellectuals at that time were defeated by the West and they rushed to give them the title of emperor.

Wang Xiaolie recalled an example similar to his attitude towards the title of "Heavenly Khan".

In the age of mobile phones, short videos often appear.Of course, this short video may also be a continuation of the previous text era.

At the beginning of the video, a beautiful voice will say, do you know the biggest failure in name change in China?Most of the time, various special effects will be used next. It is said that the most failed one is Chang'an's transformation into Xi'an, which is a pity.

Chang'an is a county that has never been renamed Xi'an and still exists today, but was changed to a district.If it is the current jurisdiction of Xi'an City, it has never been called Chang'an in history.The scope of Xi'an City was called Neishi by Emperor Qin Shihuang, and the Three Assistants were established by Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty. The scope of Xi'an City was called Jing Zhaoyin.In subsequent dynasties, until the Song Dynasty, this place was either called Jingzhao Yin, Jingzhao County, or Jingzhao Mansion.It was not until the Yuan Dynasty that it was renamed Anxi Road and Fengyuan Road.

In the Ming Dynasty, Fengyuan Road was renamed Xi'an Prefecture, from which Xi'an got its name.

It can be said that the renaming of this place to Xi'an not only did not fail, it was also very successful.If you have to look for Chang'an City at this time, Chang'an County is still there.

Xi'an is called Chang'an, similar to Luoyang being called Luoyang.Not because they are called this name, but because there is a county below them called this name.Before the Republic of China, Luoyang City was actually Henan Prefecture, with Luoyang County below it.If you know Henan Prefecture, you will not have any doubts about how the name of Henan Province came about. In fact, the origin of the name of Henan Province is not because the province is south of the Yellow River, but because there is an important place below it called Henan Prefecture.The origin of the name Henan Prefecture is because it is located on the south side of the Yellow River.The difference is that Chang'an County or District in Xi'an has always existed, and there is no Luoyang County under Luoyang.

The actual situation is that Fengyuan Road was renamed Xi'an Prefecture, and Chang'an was never renamed Xi'an.As a county, Chang'an has always existed, but now people don't use the name of a county to refer to a prefecture-level city.This is a myth because the people who say this neither understand history nor reality.But there are many people at this level, which does not delay its spread.

There are many such mistakes in history, such as Emperor Taizong's "Heavenly Khan", the so-called transformation of Chang'an into Xi'an, and people in the Song Dynasty not eating beef.There are also many things that seem correct but are actually unverifiable.

Speaking of the Song Dynasty, one will inevitably say that its weakness was due to "advocating literature and restraining military force."When it comes to the decline of the Jin Dynasty, most people will say that it was because the Jin Dynasty was Sinicized too quickly and too deeply, and its military force was weakened by Han culture.In the Qing Dynasty, the rulers created this myth out of political needs. Unfortunately, the facts did not prove this myth.

At the end of the Qing Dynasty, how effective were the Eight Banners disciples who had always been martial?How is it better than Green Camp?Where does it prove that the Song Dynasty "advocated culture and suppressed military power"?
Without the rise of the people's army, we might still have to believe these lies.With the People's Army as an example, why should we believe this?

The army is an organized armed group, and the core of its combat effectiveness is its organizational capability.It is extremely reactionary to say that the Song Dynasty's lack of combat effectiveness was due to "advocating culture and restraining military force." It directly negates the experience of the people's army.

From the time when Yiguan crossed south to the turn of the Song Dynasty, which lasted almost 800 years, the military power of the Han people declined to the extreme.From the turn of the Song Dynasty to the founding of the People's Republic of China more than 800 years ago, the Han nationality's military power re-emerged.The blood and tears in the middle cannot be counted, it can be said to be stained with blood.When we look back at history, you tell me that the Song Dynasty was weak in combat because it "advocated culture and suppressed military force." I don't need to suppress the Han people like the Qing Dynasty. Why should I believe it?
Wang Xiaolie now has more than 20 troops, and he is unstoppable in the world.And the reserves are abundant and almost endless.For many things, you no longer need to be as cautious as before, you can just let go and get started.
