Chapter 436 Liu Dan's Achievements

The business tax, property tax, and the death of King Jiaodong caused a lot of uproar, like a boulder thrown into a deep and wide lake, which may cause countless waves, but in the end it will all be calm.

Emperor Liu Dan's actions were nothing more than a small violation of the rules, which was nothing to the people of the world, especially not enough princes and princes were affected, and the people were not affected widely enough.

With the virtues of the four emperors Gao, Hui, Wen, and Wu, Emperor Ding was also not a person who caused chaos in the world. The society of the Great Han Dynasty can be said to be as stable as Mount Tai.

As the situation gradually calmed down, the focus of the world returned to the Southwest Yi war. Although many things were caused by tax collection, Sang Hongyang did succeed in collecting money, which was enough to support the needs of the army.

In Changle Palace.

Liu Dan looked at the generals in front of him with bright eyes, his face was full of excitement, and he said loudly: "I have collected all the money and food, and I will leave the rest to you ministers.

If you can win, everything will be fine.

If I can't win, I will personally conquer the Southwest by myself, but I want to see what kind of dragon's lake and tiger's lair it is, so that I can make my great man and heavenly soldiers return home without a feather. "

Emperor Liu Dan's tone was not harsh, but he was full of desire for victory. He personally presided over and strongly supported this war. If he wins, his prestige will be greatly enhanced, especially the victory of the imperial conquest. It will completely make up for all his deficiencies.

After finishing speaking, Emperor Liu Dan was still a little uneasy, and said: "Whether it is Guanzhong or Guandong, most of the soldiers of the Han army are from the Central Plains, and they must not be used to going to the wild lands in the southwest. I'm not familiar with it. This is because the right time and place are not in our army.

The only thing that is better than the barbarians is the excellent armor and strong personal ability of our Han soldiers. According to the strategy I formulated, don't take risks. The big man can't accept another defeat, understand? "

"Here!"

Liehou Xunchen headed by the general responded in unison.

There are more than 20 lieutenants in this expedition, and there are [-] private troops alone, plus [-] imperial guards. Soldiers can be called an army of one hundred thousand.

The army set out from Guanzhong in a mighty manner and headed southwest all the way.

……

Luo Sheng stayed in the city of Chang'an, quietly watching the imperial court's army go out to battle. The butler, who was also one of Luo Sheng's brothers who had not yet served in five uniforms, asked curiously, "My lord, do you think the imperial court can win?"

Luo Sheng smiled slightly and said, "As long as Han Ting is not greedy, he can win."

"Not greedy?"

Luo Sheng explained: "Could it be those Southwestern barbarians who hindered the victory of the Han army?

Since the great unification, since the development of iron smelting, and since the Han Dynasty became popular in martial arts, there has been no barbarian or di tribe that can threaten the survival of the Han Dynasty except the Xiongnu.

The east of the Han Dynasty is the sea, the north is the grassland Gobi, the west is the desert, and the south is the mountains. It has always been these natural terrain barriers that hinder the victory of the Han army.

There is a map of the world in the family, and the terrain in the southwest cannot be more clear. It is a natural separatist place. If the natives living there cannot culturally recognize the unity of the court, the prosperous Central Plains dynasty will be dragged down there. .

If it is just to maintain the counties in the plains, it is very simple. The Southwest Yi is not qualified to fight the Han army head-on, and can only hide between the mountains.

But at the court meeting that day, the emperor still knew about it, and there was a high probability that he would win. "

In fact, before the modern society, the Southwest region has always been semi-autonomous. The so-called Tusi rule, the idea of ​​reforming the land and returning to the local people is not impossible, but simply impossible. How many Sauron soldiers were killed by the artillery can be regarded as taking it down, is it because the mountain is so high and steep that it cannot be reached by manpower, so it is really impossible to open everywhere.

The butler suddenly realized that this was the case, and asked again: "My lord, when are we going to the Western Regions?"

Luo Sheng was supposed to stand for Liu Jin, but when Liu Jin disappeared, Luo Sheng decided to go to the Western Regions to meet his second younger brother, Wushuanghou Luo Shi, who is currently the Chief Protector of the Western Regions.

Luo Sheng waved his hands, and said worriedly: "Not in a hurry, stay in Chang'an first, watch the situation of the Southwest War, and also take a good look at the emperor, I hope he is not a reckless man who only knows martial arts emperor.

This big man managed to achieve today's prosperity. If he was defeated by an emperor, wouldn't everything the sages did for the big man become a joke? "

……

After the Han army entered the southwest, they changed from the last time they underestimated the enemy and never entered the mountains except for marching. Instead, they went to the southwestern barbarians. Because of the last victory, they looked down on the Han army, because these troops from the Central Plains, It wasn't as powerful as it was rumored to be, and as a result, it was taught a lesson severely by the Han army.

The Western Regions and the Xiongnu can get excellent armor, sharp bows and arrows, sharp swords, and even armored soldiers that are not inferior to the Han army from those places in Central Asia, but the Southwest Yi absolutely does not have them.

In this era when there was no southward migration, only the Lingnan Kingdom had the culture and technology obtained from the Han Dynasty. The difference in weapon technology and civilization between the Southwestern Yi and the Han Dynasty was too great.

The so-called one Han as five Hus refers to these miscellaneous Hus.

Without the emperor holding back, the Han army regained the lost ground like a broken bamboo. In the relatively gentle areas, between the gurgling streams and the small amount of farmland suitable for farming, there were blood and corpses everywhere.

The coarse clothes on the corpse were all tattered, and the stones scattered on the ground looked like farm tools from the sharp blades. When iron tools were basically popularized in the Central Plains, these Southwestern barbarians were still using stone tools, as if they were in a 3000 years ago, there was a feeling of time travel.

Seeing Yidi fleeing towards the mountains one after another, the general knew it was time to put away his harsh tactics and change to Huairou, so he ordered: "Destroy all suitable places to live, burn all the things necessary for survival, and then set up the banner of the big man. .

Tell those Yidi who are willing to surrender, those who are willing to surrender to the court, come down the mountain and swear in the name of King Su that this general will not kill them. "

The soldiers of the Han army cheered loudly, this is what the Han army should experience, victory!

Keep winning!
……

"How can the mere Southwestern Yi be able to stop the big man!"

Emperor Liu Dan laughed loudly, the laughter was so loud that even a trace of dust fell from the roof of the palace, he waved the battle report in his hand and said to the ministers in the palace: "This is the battle report just sent by the general.

After the army set out from Chang'an, after two consecutive months of marching, they crossed the Qinling Mountains, crossed the river, and arrived in the southwest.

Since the soldiers of my Han Dynasty entered the southwest, they have adjusted a little to adapt to the local area, and then immediately marched and raided the cities occupied by the southwestern barbarians.

All the victories in more than ten battles, big and small, have now regained all the land lost in the last Southern War, and regained all the cities. Now I can announce that the Southwest has returned to the territory of my Han Dynasty.

After the army recaptured the city, they fought fiercely with the Southwestern Yi who came to support them. The 5 Han troops fought against [-] Yi people, and killed more than [-] people from the Southwestern Yi. They also killed three Southwestern Yi kings. One of the few tribes that the Han soldiers caused the most damage.

The casualties of our armored soldiers were no more than a hundred, and the casualties of our soldiers were no more than [-]. The remaining barbarians fled into the mountains in order to avoid being chased and killed by our big Han soldiers, and never dared to show up again.

My lords, I am delighted!

The soldiers of the great man fought bloody battles and achieved such a result, how could I not be happy?
What do you think? "

Victory can cover up all contradictions, let alone such a big victory?
Many people even thought that if the current emperor had been the last battle in the Southern Kingdom, the 20 soldiers would probably not have bloodied the mountains and forests.

"Thousands of years of the great man! Tens of thousands of years, Your Majesty!"

The first person shouted like this, then several people, and soon the whole palace shouted like this.

Liu Dan laughed wildly, this is his goal.

Kill brother?

Raise taxes on the private sector?
Merchant bankruptcy?

Look at the eyes of these courtiers, there is only admiration, only awe, and there is no dissatisfaction at all.

Those things are all built on the incompetent emperor. As long as he creates unprecedented achievements, as long as he can push the big man to an unprecedented peak, what are some mistakes?

There is no one in this world who does not make mistakes. Thinking of this, Liu Dan even regretted killing those slanderers before, and he should let them see now.

I am the emperor most suitable for a big man!
Los House.

Luo Sheng also got the news of the Southwest victory, shook his head with a smile and said: "It seems that the emperor is much more capable than we imagined, and every decision in the Southwest War was correct.

It's really a good thing, as long as you show compassion to the people in the future, the big man will become extremely strong, so let's go to the Western Regions. "

"The tyrannical emperor", this is what the ancient Chinese called Liu Dan. In fact, compared with the tyrants in Western history, this emperor who appeared in the middle of the Han Empire is actually a capable emperor. He has Not inferior to his father's military talent, he vigorously supported the army with meritorious deeds, and the military expenditure increased significantly again. A series of military actions strongly maintained the empire's rule over the country. ——"Global History Qin and Han Volume Five"

----

In recent years, some sensationalists have used different perspectives as an excuse to quote the historical evaluation of Liu Dan by Western historians. This is not impossible, but I need to remind that the higher evaluation of Liu Dan in the West is mainly due to the It is determined by the tolerance of military emperors for a long time in history, which is completely different from the focus of our country's history. In this chapter, the author will give a detailed account of Liu Dan, an extremely key emperor of the Han Dynasty. ——"History of the Rise and Fall of the Han Dynasty"
