Spoiler History: Starting from the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 627 The late emperor appears
[In fact, in the Xixia Kingdom at that time, there were still people who wanted to do things.

When Mongolia first destroyed the Jin Dynasty, it was Xia Xiangzong who negotiated peace with Mongolia.

Later, Li Zunxu, who was quite talented and took the first place in the Xixia imperial examination, directly abolished Xia Xiangzong and established himself as Emperor of Xixia. This was later Xia Shenzong.

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

However, when Mongolia went west to capture Khwarezm, Xia Shenzong began to actively stir up trouble. First, he refused Mongolia's request for conscription of troops and food, and then actively sent envoys to repair relations with the Jin Kingdom and discuss a plan to form an alliance against Mongolia. , and even sent envoys to Sichuan many times, hoping to gain the support of the Southern Song Dynasty and "discuss major plans" together.

But no amount of thinking could change the fact that Jinxia was weak at that time. Facing the disobedient Xixia, Mongolia directly deployed troops to surround the capital of Xixia, so Xia Shenzong could only obey and had no room for resistance.

When the news of Mongolia's extermination of Huarazmo came, Xia Shenzong also had expectations for the fate of Xixia. Not wanting to be a subjugated king, he simply imitated the style of the Song Dynasty, gave the Zen throne to his second son, and became the Supreme Emperor of Xixia.

In fact, Xixia is like this now, no matter what it does, it is too late.

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

In the Mongolian war to destroy Xixia, the death of Genghis Khan was more suspicious.

The "History of the Yuan Dynasty" describes his death with precious words, so some scholars speculate that Genghis Khan's death method may not be very honorable to the Mongols.

From the Yuan to the Ming Dynasty, the descriptions of his death methods in unofficial histories were generally in two directions:

The first is that Temujin was injured in battle, and eventually died due to old age. There are many theories as to the reasons for the injury, including falling from a horse, being injured by an arrow, etc.

The second one is that Temujin forcibly took possession of the Xixia princess, but was assassinated while she was sleeping. There are many theories about the princess's crime tools, including daggers, poisoned wine and teeth.

Another one that seems fake is the record of John Plano Garbini, a Portuguese who was sent to China as an envoy to China 30 years after Temujin's death. He swore that Temujin was killed by lightning. This probability can only be said to be too low. .

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

In his opinion, the Song and Jin parties were mortal enemies and would never be able to reconcile. In this case, it was entirely possible to join forces with the Song Dynasty to destroy the Jin Dynasty, and he believed that the people of the Song Dynasty would definitely agree.

In the subsequent Mongolian-Kinyan War, the general direction of the script was also very different from Temujin's estimate.

It's just that the differences in details are quite large. 】

"This Princess of Xixia is really a fierce woman, and she can actually commit an assassination."

"But since he is a bed attendant, how can he carry a dagger with poison and wine? But if he kills this Mongolian genius with his teeth, it will definitely be called fierce."

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

There were countless conquests and countless enemies. In the end, even the method of death was scrawled down, but there was only one question:
"Even if Temujin is old, he should be able to win against the princess. How did he succeed?"

"This……"

Liu Bei pondered for a moment and had a guess in his mind, but looking at his sworn brother's sincere eyes, he could only suppress his thoughts and shook his head:
"I really don't know."

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

"I do not know either."

Instead, Kong Ming tapped Zhang Fei with his feather fan and said:

"What's the use of worrying about this? Whether the princess used wine, a knife or her teeth, she had the intention of killing her when she stabbed her, and she wanted to destroy her country and her family."

"You must praise his heroism and know his will to die. That's all."

Zhang Fei nodded and accepted the instruction, and then listened to the military advisor continue:

"On the contrary, it's normal for someone to lead an army in battle and die from falling off his horse or being killed by a stray arrow. It's better to take a warning and be on guard against these things."

Lu Su was dazed for a moment and shook his head slightly. Zhang Fei nodded heavily to indicate that he had taken note of it.

Liu Bei thought about it and said:

"Later generations said it was difficult to be struck to death by lightning...could it be that the military strategist Zhen Ru of later generations also studied the thunder and lightning that only flashed for a moment, and used it to turn thunder into lightning and tame it to make lamps?" Liu Bei was very envious of the bright lights and wanted to see them with his own eyes.

But the helpless military advisor also solemnly said that the idea of ​​triggering thunder and turning electricity was just a conjecture, and he didn't even have a clue about the verification method.

Oh no, it can’t be said that there is no clue. Kong Ming read through ancient records and said that when thunderstorms occur, lonely trees in the wilderness can often attract thunder, and the attic on the top of a mountain can also attract thunder.

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

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

Several people discussed in low voices but to no avail, so 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 spoke eloquently:
"This man is good at building ships, and they are called Galen ships. Yueying has set up a workshop in Chang'an to build a Galen ship the size of a child to study its principles."

"And if we look at it historically, it was the beginning of Portugal's invasion of China from the west."

"Based on the calendar, the Portuguese fleet entered Nanming more than two hundred years after this person."

More than two hundred years is a long time, enough to accommodate the Wei and Jin Dynasties.

More than two hundred years is a short period of time. Regardless of the Han, Tang, Ming, or even Zuo, the country of the Southern and Northern Song Dynasties, it was longer than this time.

In the end Liu Bei shook his head and said:
"If we want to go west at this time, we only have to face the changes in Rome. Tang Chang and I have been waiting for more than four hundred years, so we need to prepare in time."

Kong Ming raised his eyebrows, feeling that this statement was a little far-fetched. If he remembered correctly, in the early Tang Dynasty, the only major 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.

But it’s not a bad thing to remind him early, so he nodded.

〖Liu Bei: Your Majesty Erfeng, Kong Ming told me that Portugal invaded the east from sending envoys to leading the fleet in less than three hundred years. The rise and fall of the country was like a blink of an eye, so we need to take this as a warning. 〗

In the Manlu Hall, Li Shimin was slightly dissatisfied:

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

Du Ruhui and Fang Xuanling looked at each other helplessly:
You have always talked about Wuhou every time before, so it is no wonder that Emperor Zhaolie passed it on from generation to generation.

However, Fang Xuanling still said solemnly:
"What Marquis Wu said is true. If the two hundred knights of Yelu Dashi flee to the west, they will be able to establish a powerful country in Central Asia."

"The history of our Tang Dynasty today is very different from that of later generations. It is impossible to say that those who fled to the west are similar to the hero of Yelu Dashi, who endured for hundreds of years like Temujin and rolled back to conquer things."

"Therefore, even if the Western Region is restored, it will not be full."

Li Shimin suddenly felt helpless:
"How come I don't know? And the only patients in the Western Regions who can be called Turks now."

"On the contrary, it is Liaodongnan Ocean that requires more thought and effort, and it is difficult to be complacent."

……

Mingzi in Kunning Palace certainly remembered the time of Temujin's death.

Let’s do some math now:
"Twenty or thirty years after Temujin's death, and more than two hundred years later... wouldn't that be more than a hundred years after the founding of the Ming Dynasty?"

"By saying this in the name of Emperor Zhaolie, doesn't it mean that we will have to face the invasion of a Western country called Putao within a hundred years of the founding of the Ming Dynasty?"

"The bandits came from the west, from the sea?"

In a short period of time, Zhu Yuanzhang was so shocked that he even had the urge to chop the thing into pieces with an ax and throw it into the stove of the imperial dining room.

But as the emperor, and having accepted the assumption that the bandits came from the sea, he would not be the one who deceives others, so he also guessed:

"Could this be the appearance of Emperor Zhaolie and Marquis Zhuge Wu, thinking of our merits in expelling Hu Yuan, so they are warning us?"
