Chapter 354 Liu Che: This man must be crazy.

【Song Taizong·Zhao Guang】

[Military achievements: Unified the world without completely unifying the world. Basically, no foreign wars have been won. ]

[It failed to restore the old territory of the Han and Tang dynasties, and only maintained the basic territory within the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms.]

……

Great Qin.

Standing in front of Zhangtai Palace.

Ying Zheng looked up at the sky for a long time without saying a word.

"Hanjiang..."

The Han Dynasty inherited the Qin territory!

Qin land!

Qin was the first great unified country!
It should be the old territory of Qin and Han Dynasty!
Qin and Han!

"Humph."

He flicked his sleeves and turned to walk into the palace.

hateful!

Is the territory so huge?
It’s all my legacy!
My own!
Wait! Wait until the survivors of the six kingdoms are sealed off from the outside world...

I will show you what it means since ancient times!

"Bring the memorial!"

……

The period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty
Liu Che rested his chin on his hands and supported his knees, thinking in his mind.

The old territory of Han and Tang Dynasties?

If we work hard, we can still reach that territory.

As for the Tang Dynasty...

I think of the territorial map that soared during the reigns of Emperor Gaozong of Tang and Li Longji.

Liu Che felt it was unlikely that anyone could reach this level.

After all, one is not enough for everyone.

Without a second Li Shimin, there will be no second "Tangjiang".

……

Great Yuan·Shizu Period
Holding the lamb leg bone, cut off a piece of lamb meat.

Dip it in the fine salt in the small dish and throw it into your mouth.

"The old territory of Han and Tang Dynasties..."

Kublai Khan chewed slowly, savoring the tender lamb.

A smile of unknown meaning appeared on his face.

"Is it true that I, who restored the old borders of the Han and Tang dynasties for you, have unified the world?"

"Hahahaha!"

……

[The rashly launched Yongxi Northern Expedition wiped out all the elite troops that had been selected and trained since the beginning of the Song Dynasty.]

【The five major defeats at Gaoliang River, Mozhou, Qigou Pass, Chenjiagu, and Junziguan caused the Song army to lose nearly 300,000 people, and the morale of the Song army never recovered from that. 】

[At this point, the situation in the Song-Liao War was reversed, and the advantage returned to the Liao army.]

[Evaluation grade D, one point]

……

{Can this score points?}

{No matter how you put it, it is unified. And, after all, the country has not been destroyed...}
{Three hundred thousand elite founding soldiers were beaten into such a mess, he might as well die.}
{Funny, he calls this unification?}
{Whether it is unified or not...it is unified anyway.}
……

Datang.

"The failure of the Yongxi Northern Expedition and the general Cao Bin's confusion in advancing and retreating were the main reasons for the defeat on the main battlefield."

Sitting upright on the dragon throne, Li Shimin looked at everyone in the hall and exhaled in a deep voice.

"But Song Zong was commanding remotely from Kaifeng, and the frontline armies were not in a unified position, and lacked the power to make independent decisions, which was a deeper reason for the defeat!"

The ministers below looked at each other secretly.

But no one wanted to make the emperor unhappy.

It's not a big deal, why bother?

Let's just call him Song Zong. He's stronger than Che Zong anyway, right?
"He was in charge of both Northern Expeditions. Therefore, the Song Emperor cannot escape the blame for both failures!"

He angrily struck the pillow at hand.

What are you hitting!
Three hundred thousand strong troops! Three hundred thousand elite soldiers who founded the country!

Leave him to me!

I have eighteen ways to destroy the Liao Kingdom and recover our territory!
Eighteen kinds!
……

Great Song.

"Shame on you!"

"Shame on you!"

Zhao Kuangyin threw away the short whip in his hand, squatted on the ground and cried bitterly.

Count forward a thousand years!

Whose war of unification and founding a nation ended up like this!

hateful! hateful!
……

Song Taizong period
"What do you mean! Rutong!"

Zhao Kuangyi was so angry that he pulled off his teaching hat and threw it on the ground!

"Zhangzhou and Quanzhou! Wuyue and Yuezhou! Northern Han and Hanzhou!"

"These are all mine! I!"

"Can I be blamed for the Northern Expedition? Didn't those arrogant soldiers and generals also disobey orders?!" "I have already issued an edict of apology! What else do you want me to do?"

"Let me die to thank the world!"

Zhao Kuangyi, filled with anger, stared at the sky and gasped.

Only he and the breeze were left in the colorful back garden.

"call……"

He leaned over to pick up the hat and brushed off the dust on the wings.

He put it on solemnly and lifted the hem.

Sit down firmly again.

No matter what... I am the emperor.

……

Song Zhenzong period
A mouthful of wine got stuck in Zhao Heng's throat.

It's neither swallowing nor spitting.

How did you say this...

Aren’t the people of the world the ones who suffer the most when a country is destroyed?

……

【Institutional construction: Generally speaking, it continues the system of Emperor Taizu of Song. 】

[Many details have been strengthened, the first of which is the control of the generals. 】

【Abolish the military governorship of the branch counties, and make all prefectures and counties in the country directly governed by the imperial court.】

[The prefects and governors appointed at the same time replaced the Jiedushi. ]

【Since Emperor Xuanzong of Tang, the old system of feudal lords has completely withdrawn from the stage of history. 】

[After this, the local military and political affairs were managed by the governor of a prefecture and the governor of a road.]

[Most of the governors and prefectural officials were civilian officials. Using civilian officials to control military officials was more secure.]

……

Tang Dezong Period
Li Shi looked embarrassed.

Emperor Taizong of Song was not very good at fighting wars, but this decree was very good.

It is a very stubborn problem facing the Tang Dynasty today, and it has uprooted the feudal lords.

Although it cannot be implemented immediately, there is a way.

This is the way...it seems a bit off no matter how you look at it.

Rubbing his hands, Li Shi was a little undecided.

These arrogant and brave generals are indeed hateful, but they are indeed good at fighting.

He did not forget that Tubo is still eyeing the northwest covetously.

You still have to take it step by step. If you take big steps, you’ll easily end up talking nonsense!

……

Ming Dynasty Jiajing Period
"Emperor Taizu of Song never suffered a major defeat in his military campaigns."

Zhu Houcong wore a thin Taoist robe with moon-white collar and hem.
Decorated with pine-colored edges.

In her hand she was playing with a hairpin with a lotus and cloud pattern.

"One difference between Emperor Taizong and Emperor Taizu is that he dared to take risks and bear the loss of manpower and material resources."

“It’s hard to tell if this is a good quality of the emperor, because he succeeded in small ways but failed at the crucial moment.”

"Emperor Taizong of Song was not very capable, but he was extremely confident. He was keen to command the battles at the front from behind, and he would often give battle plans and instruct his generals not to change them without authorization."

“This kind of behavior is a problem in itself.”

"His biggest problem is that his self-confidence does not match his military capabilities, and he abuses this self-confidence."

"And suspicion grows with confidence."

Hai Rui, who was wearing his official uniform, knelt on the ground without saying a word.

……

[Established Chongwenyuan, created a secret pavilion in Chongwenyuan, collectively known as "Guan Ge". Lay the foundation for the Guan Ge system in the Song Dynasty. ]

【The roads were changed into routes, and the 300 states in the world were divided into 15 routes. The route became the first-level administrative unit in the Song Dynasty.】

【In order to clean up the bureaucracy, officials who have committed crimes due to corruption will not be allowed to be reappointed even if they are pardoned. This will be a permanent rule.】

【A civil official is appointed as Privy Councilor. 】

……

The period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty
"I remember... the Privy Councilor is the pinnacle of the military officer position, right?"

Liu Che was a little unsure, did he remember it wrong?
But Wei Zifu confirmed that he was not mistaken.

"The Privy Councilor... is indeed the pinnacle of military officers."

"hiss……"

Take a breath!
Liu Che couldn't imagine what it would be like for those doctors of the Five Classics to serve as generals.

"Is this guy going crazy from guarding against his generals?"

Although I don't want to admit it, you are Taizong!
The second emperor in a dynasty!

The source of all systems must set the tone with you!
Now you set the tone like this?

Do you know how much effort I have put in to fight against the Huang-Lao old system?

If you don’t have a genius like me after you, won’t your Song Dynasty be doomed?

Are you betting here? Betting that a genius will emerge in the future?

He could now imagine how great the challenges would be for the next generation of emperors who wanted to make a difference.

This is not the way to govern the military with culture!

This is suppressing force with culture!
