The short video shows the ancient times, and the emperors cried with envy!

Chapter 470: The Ottoman Empire! The rise of native chickens! Li Shimin: A descendant of the Turks?!

[The provocative gene of native chickens is engraved in their bones, and it has existed since their ancestors, the Turks! ]

"Oh? Turks? They're old acquaintances?"

In the Tang Dynasty, all the ministers looked at each other and instantly became interested.

In particular, Li Jing, who had just dealt a fatal blow to the Eastern Turks, looked up at the sky, wanting to see what kind of empire this group of descendants of the Turks had established.

"But how did these people get there? They ran so far!"

Li Daozon complained.

Judging from the map on the sky curtain, this native chicken is actually five thousand miles away. The Turks are really good at running.

[Once upon a time, Turkey was part of the Ottoman Empire, which conquered the Eastern Roman Empire and was the powerful country of Qin in Chinese history. It spanned Europe and Asia and was powerful for a time.]

"Oh? Osman? Boss, find me the letter that our brother Timur from the Ming Dynasty sent a few years ago!"

This time, when it came to Emperor Yongle, Zhu Laosi's DNA moved.

Crown Prince Zhu Gaochi, with a body weighing more than 300 pounds, nimbly moved among a pile of letters and documents, with a hint of sweat on his face.

"found it!"

Zhu Gaochi pulled out a roll of parchment.

It contains greetings from Timur Borjigin, the Khan of the Timurid Empire, to the Ming Emperor Zhu Di, and of course there is nothing good in it.

But the most important thing was to ask the Ming Dynasty to open up trade, because the trade route to the west was blocked by the Ottoman Empire.

"It seems that this Osman is not bad! He was able to stop Timur's attack? And he let that old dog come to me and cry poor."

Zhu Di originally thought that this Tuji was like the Yelang Kingdom and the Dian Kingdom during the Han Dynasty, a regime that established its own territory.

I didn’t expect that his ancestors were so wealthy, and they lived in the same era as me!
Before he could continue, the eunuch Zheng He who had been waiting beside him reminded him:
"Your Majesty, we sailed to the West because there were no trade routes in Hamiwei. I think it was because Osman and Timur were fighting every day!"

Upon hearing Zheng He's words, the first person to get angry was the usually gentle Crown Prince Zhu Gaochi.

He uttered a rare curse and cursed:

"They are all a bunch of killers! When the Yuan Dynasty was in power, Hami could collect at least five million taels of silver, but now there is not a single ounce of silver left!"

"Hmph!" Zhu Di snorted coldly, and he no longer had a good impression of Osman on the screen.

[However, times have changed. A hundred years can show the coming and going of dynasties, and a thousand years can show the rise and fall of dynasties. The Ottoman Empire has become a thing of the past.]

[In modern times, native chickens have been mired in the quagmire of two world wars. In addition, they are located at the junction of Asia and Europe, with many domestic conflicts, and have enjoyed the blessings of the two battlefields in the east and the west. ]

[However, such happiness quickly turned Turkey into a shrinking small country. Some of its once vast territories were abandoned, and some became independent, eventually becoming the current territory. ]

"Tsk tsk, a country's downfall is just a matter of seconds. You should take this as a warning!"

In the Southern Liang Dynasty, Master Xiao spoke earnestly to his sons, especially Xiao Gang who was always disobedient. However, this man looked indifferent and didn't seem to listen.

In another time and space, the Northern Dynasty, Daxia. Helian Bobo compared his own Daxia with the experience and situation of Osman in the video, and felt a little melancholy.

Damn it, it’s both a crossroads, both were founded by grassland groups, and both have many ethnic conflicts in the country. Isn’t this a coincidence?

Is it possible that my Da Xia will become like this in the future?
The strong sense of crisis made Helian Bobo nervous. After thinking for a long time, he decided to build a huge and indestructible city. He wanted this city to stand forever in his country.

Let’s call it – Tongwan City!
[However, whenever a country is about to perish and evil is rampant, the nation will always focus all its love on one hero. ]

【And the hero of Tuji is named Kemal. 】

[As a Muslim, he personally used the scepter of the country to pull down the Muslim caliph and sultan from the altar, and even used his own prestige to open the prelude to the rebirth of the empire! ]

[After World War I, Turkey lost nearly three million young and strong people, a loss that was enough to wipe out the entire nation. At this time, Kemal stood up.]

[He did not fall into traditional self-pity, nor did he pray to the great Allah for salvation. Instead, he created a political party and sought a new political system!
Republic is his choice! The biggest problem of Tuji is not feudalism, but theocracy! 】

[So he can't be an emperor, nor a religious leader, he can only be a commoner, he can only be a secular person! ]

[“All I can do is to let our nation stand on the earth again, instead of bowing our heads and only asking Allah for everything!”]

Kemal stood outside the cathedral, looking at the glazed roof in the distance. Beside him were countless priests and elders dressed in divine robes.

Only he was wearing a suit, standing tall, as if mocking the almighty God!
In the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Emperor Yuwen Yong looked at Kemal, who was determined to go forward despite the opposition of thousands of people, and felt a sense of confidant.

"What a good man!"

His hands were stained with the blood of thousands of Buddhist and Taoist monks, but he never expected that there was such a close friend among the descendants of the Turks!
By the way, Yuwen Yong’s wife was a Turkic princess, so the look he gave Kemal was more appreciative and gentle.

At this moment, another Zhou Dynasty emperor, Chai Rong, also looked at Kemal in the video with admiration.

"Secularization? Although it's a bit hasty, it's not bad! It's just that the knife is not moved enough?"

Compared to Yuwen Yong's simple killing, he did something even more extreme. He ordered that all monks and Taoists in the country needed official certification before they could be approved to become religious figures.

This is similar to Kemal's advocacy of secularization of religion. After all, it is better for faith to be just a psychological massager.

Getting involved in politics is a big trouble!

However, as Chai Rong just commented, Kemal was ultimately unable to overcome the hurdle in his heart and was too lenient towards those theocrats.

The changes in the secular system are ultimately no match for human nature. Turkey did enter a new era with the arrival of Kemal, but it was only a new era.

Because the scars were too deep, this once huge empire can never be restored.

[After the death of the founding father Kemal, the native chicken took a different path, like a flat-headed brother who keeps fighting after repeated defeats, exhausting all his strength towards an unknown direction. ]

"Haha, the father of the nation? He is nothing more than a paperhanger who does some repairs."

Some people like Kemal while others look down on him. For example, Emperor Qin Shi Huang Ying Zheng curled his lips at this moment.

In his opinion, Kemal did not have any great achievements, and was not even able to restore the country's glory. He merely pulled the country back from the brink of collapse.
