Emperor's Award Ceremony: Beginning with the award of the Eternal Emperor

Li Jing was even more flattered. When Zhou Yi commented on Huo Qubing before, he didn't seem to have such respect in his tone.

"Li Jing was originally born in a family of officials in the Sui Dynasty. He is the nephew of the famous Sui Dynasty general Han Qinhu."

"His grandfather, Li Chongyi, served as governor of Yinzhou, and was granted the title of Duke of Yongkang County. His father, Li Quan, served as prefect of Zhaojun."

"Li Jingsheng has a burly appearance and was influenced by his family. He has been "both civil and military" since he was a child, and he has an enterprising spirit. He once said to his father that if a man meets a wise monarch and era, he should make contributions, not just do it. A scholar."

"Every time Han Qinhu talked about military matters with him, seeing that he had his own opinions, he couldn't help feeling that you are the only one who can discuss Sun Wu's art of war with me."

"At that time, many dignitaries in the Sui Dynasty saw that Li Jing had the talent of Wang Zuo."

"Yang Su, the left servant of the Sui Dynasty, once pointed to his seat and said, sooner or later you will sit in my seat!"

"Yang Su's vision is really vicious, and it will come true in the future!"

"Li Jing was just a small official at the beginning. If there are no accidents, he will eventually become an official of the Sui Dynasty step by step."

"But we are meeting the rare tyrant, Emperor Sui Yang, who will bring the great Sui Dynasty into chaos, and everyone's fate will be changed."

Yang Guang, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty who had been reborn, lowered his head in shame when he heard this.

"During the Daye period, Li Jing served as the county magistrate in Mayi, and served in 523 under the account of Tang Guogong Li Yuan who stayed in Taiyuan to fight against the Turks."

"At that time, peasant uprisings were raging in various fields in the Sui Dynasty. Dou Jiande, Li Mi, Zhai Rang and others were powerful. Countless Sui Dynasty officials also began to raise the banner of opposing the imperial court. The Sui Dynasty was already in jeopardy."

"And Li Yuan secretly recruited troops, ready to wait for the opportunity."

"Li Jing is aware of this situation and plans to go to Jiangdu to report."

"He disguised himself as a prisoner and escaped the search, but when he arrived in Chang'an, Guanzhong was already in chaos, and he couldn't go because the road was blocked."

"After Li Yuan attacked Chang'an, he was captured."

"Li Yuan was annoyed that he dared to accuse him of being black, and wanted to behead him in a fit of anger."

"Li Jing's ambition was not rewarded, so he was naturally unwilling to die. Before he was taken to the execution ground, he yelled, Tang Guogong originally raised troops for the sake of the world, but now that the big event has not yet been accomplished, he wants to kill a hero because of personal grievances?"

"Throughout the ages, many people are at the juncture of life and death, because one sentence saved their lives and changed the fate of the whole world."

"Li Jing also happens to be one of them."

"Li Yuan saw that what he said was reasonable, and Li Shimin admired his talent and courage, so he pleaded with his father, and Li Jing was cast into King Qin's tent, serving as the third guard, and began a magnificent life.

Chapter 3 Attacking Nanliang

Chapter 3 Attacking Nanliang

"In the third year of Wude, Li Jing followed Qin Wang Li Shimin to Luoyang and attacked Wang Shichong, who claimed to be the emperor. Li Jing began to emerge."

"When Li Shimin and Wang Shichong were at war, Xiaoqian of Nanliang, who was entrenched in Jiangling, took the opportunity to send a navy to go upstream, trying to capture Xiazhou, Bashu and other places in the Tang Dynasty, but was repelled by the local prefect. Li Yuan transferred Li Jing to Kuizhou to destroy the Xiao Gun."

"Li Jing brought only a few people to take up his post."

"When passing through Jinzhou, the local barbarians rebelled against the Tang Dynasty. Li Xiaogong, king of Zhao Jun, led the Tang army to defeat the battle. Li Jing led eight hundred strong men to attack the enemy's camp at night and smashed the rebel army."

"Later, he laid an ambush in a dangerous place, wiped out more than 5000 people in one fell swoop, and captured the leader of the rebel army."

"Li Yuan was overjoyed when the good news reached the capital."

"And told people around, I heard that it is better to use people who have made merit than to use people who have made mistakes. Now Li Jing has really made a great contribution."

"He comforted Li Jing, Qing has made great achievements, and he has made great achievements for a long time, only to realize that you are very loyal, and you don't have to worry about fame and fortune."

"I have already forgotten the past."

"This incident made Li Yuan completely change his prejudice against him."

"In the four years of Wude, Li Jing presented ten countermeasures to eliminate Xiao Ju according to the actual situation of the enemy and ourselves."

"Li Yuan attached great importance to it, and appointed Li Xiaogong as the general manager of Kuizhou, and Li Jing as the general manager of the army, who also served as Li Xiaogong's military commander. Li Yuan also said that Li Xiaogong was not good at military affairs, and that he was appointed as the commander of the three armies. Li Jing was actually the commander in chief of the three armies."

"Li Jing ordered people to build boats and ships, and the four armies rushed to Jiangling from four directions."

"At that time, the autumn rain was soaring, and the Three Gorges River roared, and the sound shook the valley."

"Xiao Ju thinks that the water is rough and the boats are difficult to navigate. The Tang army will definitely not be able to sail eastward, so he doesn't take precautions."

"In fact, Xiao Ju thinks so, and most of the generals of the Tang army are also afraid, and ask to wait until the flood recedes before marching~"

"Li Jing used his superhuman courage and strategy to overcome all opinions. He said that the speed of the army is precious, and the opportunity must not be missed."

"Now that the army has just assembled, Xiao Qian definitely doesn't know about it. Taking advantage of the river's surge, we went down the river and suddenly appeared under the city of Jiangling, catching him by surprise."

"Even if Xiao Jue knew about the situation, there was no time to organize a fight in a hurry. We will surely capture Xiao Juan and we will succeed."

"Li Xiaogong followed his advice and commanded [-] boats to go down the river. Because Xiao Ju was not prepared at all, the Tang army broke Jingmen and Yidu towns, took advantage of the victory and marched to Yiling."

"Xiao Qian's confidant General Wen Shihong led an army of tens of thousands to garrison the nearby Qingjiang River. As soon as Li Xiaogong's army arrived, he wanted to attack immediately."

"Li Jing dissuaded and said that Wen Shihong is a brave general, and the soldiers are even more brave. Jingmen has just fallen, and they are the army to save the defeat. They are bound to be unstoppable. We should temporarily avoid the edge and not fight them head-on."

"When their morale is low, we will attack again, and we will definitely defeat them easily."

"But because of Li Xiaogong's successive victories, he was a little proud and underestimated the enemy. He didn't take the opponent seriously, and he didn't listen to Li Jing's advice."

"He ordered Li Jing to stay in the camp and personally lead the army to attack."

"Sure enough, as Li Jing expected, the Tang army was defeated as soon as the two armies fought."

"Scholar Hongda was victorious, and his troops looted everywhere. The soldiers gained a lot, but everyone focused on looting, and the army became a piece of scattered sand."

"Seeing this, Li Jing took the opportunity to order the army to attack."

"Wen Shihong was unable to gather the soldiers and organize an effective fight, and was beaten to pieces by the Tang army."

"More than 1 soldiers were killed and drowned, and more than 400 ships were obtained."

"To capture Yiling, Li Jing led five thousand vanguards to Jiangling, the capital of Southern Liang, with Li Xiaogong's army behind."

"Scholar Hong was defeated. Xiao Ju was very frightened. He had just recruited soldiers in the south of the Yangtze River, and he couldn't arrive yet."

"Li Jing defeated Xiao Ju's general Yang Junmao and others, and captured more than 4000 soldiers."

"At the same time, Li Jing asked Li Xiaogong to give an order to throw all the boats and other materials he got into the river."

"All the generals were puzzled. Why did they throw away the spoils they had finally obtained?"

"Li Jing explained that Xiao Ju's territory is huge, and our army went deep alone. If the siege is not over and their reinforcements arrive, we will definitely become the turtles in the urn."

"But now that their reinforcements see the supplies drifting along the river, they must think that Jiangling has been breached, so they have no intention of rescue."

"Li Jing's strategy of suspicious soldiers is so ingenious, the reinforcements in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River saw this, and they all hesitated to move forward."

"There are countless generals who didn't check the facts and went directly to Li Xiaogong's camp to surrender."

"It was precisely because the reinforcements hesitated and did not rescue in time, Xiao Ju was besieged for more than a month, ran out of ammunition and food, and finally had no choice but to surrender."

"Li Jing led the army into the city and strictly ordered Qiu to commit no offense."

"His generals have suggested that those enemy defenders be executed. In this battle, the Tang army also suffered a lot of losses."

"And Li Jing once again vetoed everyone's opinions."

"He said that the two armies are fighting each other for their masters, and they are loyal to their masters. This is a loyal man, completely different from those traitors."

"If we kill those loyal and fierce generals, who will dare to surrender to my Tang Dynasty again?"

"Li Jing is far-sighted, magnanimous, and does not covet gold and silver treasures, which is far beyond the reach of others."

"Although Jiangling was broken at that time, the nearby cities were not captured. But when they heard the news about Jiangling, they surrendered one after another."

"As for the reinforcements in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River who had hesitated for many days, they finally decided to come to the rescue. When they arrived near Jiangling, they heard that Xiao Qian had surrendered and received preferential treatment, and they all surrendered one after another."

"No more costing a soldier."

"In just two months, Nanliang, the most powerful force in the south of the Yangtze River, was wiped out, all thanks to Li Jing. (Li Liaohao)"

"Li Yuan was overjoyed, and made Li Jing the Lord of Shangzhu Kingdom and Yongkang County, and gave him [-] pieces of gifts."

Zhou Yi paused, scanned the audience, and then looked at the audience in front of the video, with a faint dao level.

"This battle fully demonstrated Li Jing and Li Pharmacist's extraordinary strategy. When the river was rushing, he sent troops unexpectedly. After entering Jiangling, he did not kill the enemy generals who had surrendered. This completely won everyone's hearts."

"General Nanliang no longer has any worries about surrendering and being killed. This not only disintegrates everyone's fighting spirit, but also sends a positive signal to all other enemies."

"The Li Tang Dynasty put benevolence and righteousness first, and would not kill them all. As long as they put down their weapons, not only can they save their lives, but they can even gain glory and wealth."

"The teacher of the kingly way, the kingdom of the kingly way, has never used force as the only means."

"The benevolent is invincible, that is the true mystery!".

Chapter 311 Killing Fu Gongyou

Chapter 311 Elimination of Fugong Tuo

Li Shimin couldn't help agreeing.

"The benevolent is invincible, this is a good saying!"

"As an emperor, one must have a benevolent heart, the way of a king, and the power of dominance. Governing the country only depends on hegemony, and it will completely rely on force."

"It is easy to degenerate into a tyrant."

"A kingdom of kingship must not only focus on benevolence, but also supplement it with domineering. Both are indispensable."

"Too much kindness but lack of force. This is not true kindness but cowardice. The people under my rule will be grateful, but it has no deterrent effect on foreigners."

"They will always be eyeing tigers. Once they are a little weaker, they will take the opportunity to show their ape's teeth."

"The king absolutely does not rely entirely on force, but force is an indispensable weapon."

Zhao Kuangyin and other Song Dynasty emperors could not help but bow their heads.

What Tang Taizong Li Shimin said was precisely the disadvantage of their Song Dynasty.

Song Dynasty didn't have much military power. Although it was kind to the people inside, it had no deterrent effect on the foreigners in the north.

And because the various tribes in the northern grassland were not strong enough to annex the Great Song Dynasty at that time, the two sides have been confronting each other.

They want to occupy the Central Plains, but 523 cannot.

The Song Dynasty had the opportunity to exercise its domineering power, but it always gave up force, and in the end the Song Dynasty fell into the hands of foreign lands.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che couldn't help but fell silent.

He can be said to be kingly and domineering in parallel, but his domineering spirit is heavier.

In addition to expanding the frontier and land, internally, the various punishments for the common people are too cruel.This may be what Mr. Zhou Yi said, lacking a certain kindness.

Of course, compared to the Qin Dynasty, the Western Han Dynasty was simply a paradise on earth, and the common people naturally didn't realize it.

But the people in the Tang and Song Dynasties made a little comparison, and they couldn't help but feel horrified.

Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Di and others could not help but remain silent.

The Ming Dynasty was kind to the common people, and its force was very strong, but it was only very harsh on the officials. This is not a real kingly country.

They both looked at each other.

Judging from the situation of later generations Wanli and Emperor Jiajing, etc., they were in at that time.

It was precisely because the Ming Dynasty was so harsh on officials in the early days of the founding of the country that after the Tumu Fort change, the civil officials came to power and began to counterattack frantically, winning most of the power.

Even dominated any decision-making of the emperors.

When the monarch did something and was able to frighten the officials, their power would not be completely taken away.

But in the later period, when Chongzhen's faint and incompetent king was in power, he could only become a puppet for the officials, and the Ming Dynasty finally suffered internal and external troubles, and these officials ruined the country.

"After listening to Mr. Zhou Yi's words, the widow suddenly realized what I am missing?" Emperor Wu of Han nodded.

Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Di and others were silent.

Especially Zhu Yuanzhang, he has killed all the founding heroes and offended everyone.

Now if he changes his attitude towards officials, even the new ministers who will come in later will definitely not appreciate it.Then you don't need to change anything.

His reputation was already rotten, and no matter what he did, those officials couldn't really believe it anymore, so he simply didn't change anything.

"In July of the sixth year of Wude, when Du Fuwei, who had long surrendered to the imperial court, entered Chang'an, Fu Gongyou, who was at odds with him, stole Danyang and raised troops against the Tang Dynasty."

"Tang Gaozu Li Yuan once again appointed Li Xiaogong as the commander, Li Jing as the deputy commander, and led Xu Maogong and other seven generals to lead the army to crusade."

"Fu Gongyou ordered his general to lead [-] naval troops to garrison Dangtu, and ordered [-] infantry to garrison Qinglin, and then locked the Yangtze River with iron locks to block the waterway."

"More than a dozen moon cities were built, stretching for dozens of miles. Many armies are distributed around, echoing each other from afar. As long as there is an attack on one place, other armies from other places can support them at any time."

"Li Xiaogong called his generals to discuss (cgef) the military situation. All the generals said that the enemy's navy and infantry troops are ambushing everywhere and occupying favorable terrain. They obviously want to rely on natural dangers to defend instead of taking the initiative to fight and drag us down. .”
