Spoiler History: Starting from the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 636 Hu Fulai
Zhu Yuanzhang was originally careless.

As for the History of Yuan Dynasty, he just skimmed over most of the contents such as palace secrets and power struggles because some of the names were too difficult to pronounce.

But he never took anything related to the battle lightly.

Therefore, the Cao Youwen mentioned by the younger generations actually knew a hundred times more details than this. Even before Fu Youde pacified Sichuan, he went to the ancient battlefield of Jiguanai to pay tribute and wrote a memorial reviewing the Mongolian attack on Shu.

Therefore, he took a rather cursory look at the story of the war, and paid more attention to those rather novel aspects.

The lifelike map makes you feel as if you are actually on the ancient battlefield.

If we could use this miraculous map, we could pacify the world at least two years earlier!

If these young men with red lips and white teeth were in Yingtian Prefecture, they would probably be trampled by matchmakers...

But soon, these wandering thoughts were quickly brought back.

With the death of "Cao Youwen" on the screen, the Mongols also left the scene one after another, heading west into Sichuan, and only the bodies of the dead servants remained on the screen.

But soon, with the rapid changes of light and darkness, green grass began to grow here, and then a few shadows flashed a few times like flying, and small tombs were built.

Queen Ma saw the clue:

"It seems like...time is passing by quickly."

Then the emperor suddenly realized that the alternation between light and darkness was the rapid alternation of day and night.

Only then did he notice that there was a number below that was increasing rapidly.

Starting from 1236, to 1600, and then to 1700, the numbers rotated so fast that they could no longer be seen clearly, and finally slowly stopped at around 2,000.

As the scene changed rapidly, he could see the green here fading quickly, low thatched houses were built, but they quickly became deserted, and roads crawled by like a slithering snake, but were soon covered by weeds again.

A group of soldiers who looked three-quarters like the Ming army passed by here from west to east with loud laughter, which made Zhu Yuanzhang subconsciously guess that when Fu Youde conquered Shu, he claimed to attack Jinniu Road, but eventually entered Shu from the west. Could this be the place where he passed by on his way back to victory? But soon he didn't have the energy to pay attention to this.

Thatched huts and low city walls were built here, and a small town began to take shape. But in the end, a group of soldiers with shiny heads and rat-tails on their backs razor-sharp ground the town to the ground, and once again marched from east to west with the same expression as Hu Yuan on their faces, which also made Emperor Ming feel nervous.

As the numbers continued to push forward, he was surprised to see a long line of soldiers, holding red flags embroidered with white feathers, marching from west to east with a heroic attitude. From their clothes and equipment, even if he could not understand them very well, Emperor Ming could still read the poverty from them. However, he was very familiar with the expressions on the faces of these soldiers, just like those young men who came from all directions to join the army when sweeping away the remnants of the Yuan Dynasty. They all held the same belief.

"Fight against the barbarians..." Emperor Ming Tian whispered quietly, a voice that only he could hear.

As the numbers changed rapidly again, the next scene was completely different:

A group of excited people worked day and night to build a long dragon of railway tracks, stretching from east to west deep into Bashu.

A long iron box was flying above it, carrying people or goods coming and going.

The faded green has grown back, the ground that was trampled several times has been leveled again, green plants have broken through the soil, growing upward tenaciously, and finally blooming golden flowers. If the picture continues to rise, you can see that the hundreds of miles of flower fields wrap around this railway track and cross it from east to west. A small town has also sprung up next to it. Looking north again, the earliest tombs have long disappeared into the sea of ​​flowers. After quietly gazing at the three words "Yangping Pass" on the big house next to the railway track for a long time, Emperor Ming finally said leisurely:

"So lovely."

Queen Ma also nodded and was speechless for a moment.

How could the two of them not understand at this moment? This screen showed the changes in this battlefield over the past hundreds of years. Although it was still difficult to distinguish the truth from the false, this kind of method was almost supernatural.

Tomorrow the emperor will think about something else:

"According to what he meant, all our efforts have been in vain? Did the barbarians invade China again?"

Zhu Yuanzhang himself did not believe that the Ming Dynasty could last for ten thousand years. After all, if one reads the history books more, one will know that the rise and fall of dynasties are indeed common, just as Zhang Tiangang, a Han Chinese official of the Jin Dynasty, said.

But no matter what, the Ming Dynasty is different from the previous dynasties, right? Then it shouldn't be too greedy to pass it down for a hundred generations. According to this idea, how can it only be three or four hundred years?

Moreover, even if the descendants were incompetent and destroyed the country, it would be fine if the Song Dynasty replaced the Tang Dynasty... or if the Tang Dynasty replaced the Sui Dynasty, but how could they be dressed up as a group of barbarians and brought into Bashu? This was what he found most difficult to let go.

This time, even Empress Ma didn't need to speak, Zhu Yuanzhang had already thought about it and started talking:
"No, maybe this thing is here to bring disaster to our country... Wait until we find Luo Guanzhong and Liu Sanwu, and confront them to find out the truth."

But having said that, Emperor Ming's eyes were always fixed on the beautiful scenery on the light curtain from beginning to end.

Seeing the sea of ​​flowers swaying in the wind and a group of people dressed quite boldly taking a walk in the sea of ​​flowers, he couldn't help but sigh again:
"Why can't our Ming Dynasty govern the country with such a scene?"

Queen Ma comforted her:

"If it is true, since this young man admires you so much, it is possible that those who left Shu to fight are all following the example of Emperor Hongwu, going north to wipe out the barbarians, clearing the world and restoring the Han Dynasty."

"But what they wear doesn't look like the Han clothes..." Zhu Yuanzhang hummed, but he knew in his heart that the clothes of those people playing near the sea of ​​flowers were even less like Hu Tong's.

Empress Ma ignored Emperor Ming's habit of verbally refusing to admit defeat and just smiled and said:
"If it looks good, take a closer look. Regardless of whether it's real or fake, wait for Luo Guanzhong to arrive and confront him before you worry about it."

She knew the character of the man next to her very well. Regardless of whether what was said on the screen was true or false, it was likely that this Baba, whom she called Emperor Hongwu, would have to work hard for it.

[Cao Youwen's death in battle was a tragedy. He was one of the few famous generals in the Southern Song Dynasty who dared to fight against the Mongols and Jin in the field and was able to win.

And if we speak seriously, Cao Youwen's death in battle was essentially a tragedy born out of the national policy of controlling military power with culture established in the Zhao II era.

After all, except for Cui Yuzhi, a famous minister with both strategy and tactics, the Shu generals at that time, from Zheng Sun, to Gui Ruyuan, and then to Zhao Yanna, were basically just a bunch of lousy generals, and none of them were worth looking at.

This actually involves what was mentioned before: the biggest problem after the literati in the Song Dynasty took control of the military and political affairs was that they were overly naive in military strategy.
