Short video: Shocking the world

"I understand why you didn't establish Zhu Di, the rebellious son, but chose Yunwen after you died." Zhu Yuanzhang said, "It must be because I saw that Zhu Di, the rebellious son, was useless, so I let Yunwen succeed to the throne."

【"As soon as Zhu Di returned, Alutai made a comeback and frequently took advantage of the Ming Dynasty's border. Zhu Di was furious."]

【"In the 21st year of Yongle, Zhu Di personally led 300,000 troops to start the fourth northern expedition, but it turned out to be a tour again."]

【"Hundreds of thousands of troops went around and finally found out that Alutai had already fled."]

【"Zhu Di saw that July was coming out, and now it was November, the weather was cold, and he went home to rest."]

【"The next year, Alutai came to the border town again, and Zhu Di was already sick at this time. The country was also sick because of his years of war, But he still ignored the opposition of his ministers and started his fifth and last northern expedition in his life. "】

【"As a result, he took 300,000 troops to travel on the grassland again, from April to July, and did not find any trace of Alutai. "】

【"Zhu Di ran out of food and grass, and was seriously ill, so he had to return to the east and eventually died in Yumuchuan. "】

【"To sum up, Zhu Di's five expeditions to Mobei did suppress and weaken the Mongolian tribes to a certain extent from a strategic point of view. Of course, Zhu Di also achieved the concentration of power through war and gradually consolidated the legitimacy of his rule. But compared with the huge consumption of manpower, material resources and financial resources caused by years of war. Zhu Di's five expeditions to Mobei achieved a little bit of loss. "】

Ming Chengzu plane.

Zhu Gaochi had long been unwilling to let Zhu Di go north, and now he took the opportunity to persuade him: "Dad, I know you want to establish great achievements and prove that you inherited the throne from Grandpa Taizu, but now everyone in the world knows about our family's affairs. We can't fight in Mobei anymore. The northern expedition has little effect, but it is very costly, and the grassland tribes can also see the sky. They want to hide, but we can't find them. When our national strength is consumed to a certain extent, the grassland tribes will even counterattack our Ming Dynasty!" Zhu Di remained silent and nodded helplessly. In the past, if Zhu Gaochi had persuaded him like this, he would have to teach his eldest son a lesson. [Five expeditions to Mobei, the investment and return are not proportional, it can't be compared with Wei Qing and Huo Qubing of the Han Dynasty, nor can it be compared with Tian Khan Li Shimin. ] [So this is the real history! I was so excited when I watched the TV series, and I always took those novels that said Zhu Di's five expeditions to Mobei and Fenglangjuxu were so powerful and domineering. ]

[If you had 500,000 troops, you would be so powerful and domineering. ]

[That's right! If you have 500,000 elite troops in modern times, with all advanced equipment, and enter northern Myanmar, do you think anyone dares to stop you? Do whatever you want. ]

[The grassland people are not fools. Zhu Di brought a large army to fight them. Why would they use eggs to hit stones? As long as they can exhaust the Ming army's food and grass, they will win. ]

Grassland people: Yes, yes, yes, we are not stupid!

[Zhu Di is better at fighting civil wars than foreign wars! ]

[The national treasury was emptied by Zhu Di. ]

[If Zhu Di could really do what Huo Qubing did, and beat the grassland tribes for decades, I believe that even if the crown prince Zhu Gaochi lost everything, he would support Zhu Di.

But the problem is that Zhu Di does not have Huo Qubing's ability. The five northern expeditions did not hurt the grassland tribes. It was a completely losing business. He was having a lot of fun anyway, and didn't care how much manpower and material resources it would take to wander around the grasslands with hundreds of thousands of troops for half a year. ]

[If Zhu Di had really solved the grassland problem, Zhu Qizhen would not have danced on the grasslands 25 years later. ]

Zhu Qizhen: You said Taizong... If you said Chengzu, just say Chengzu, don't mention me.

...

[If all the emperors of China randomly exchanged dynasties, would there still be regrets in history? #Huaxia#History]

"Emperors swap dynasties? People in later generations are really imaginative!"

"If you can really swap emperors, please let Emperor Taizong Wen of the Tang Dynasty save this chaotic world!"

"If you really want to swap, don't swap Yang Guang!"

["If all the emperors of China randomly swap dynasties, will there be regrets in history?"

["That day, the Forbidden City was suddenly shrouded in white fog, and then the entire Xianyang Palace appeared out of thin air. When Ying Zheng came to the Qing Dynasty, he fell into deep thought when he saw the unequal treaty in front of him."

Qianlong: Why let Ying Zheng come to my Qing Dynasty?

["On the other side, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at his black robe and almost laughed his stomach out. He started with the remaining energy of the six generations. This rich account, Zhu, has never been beaten in eight lifetimes. Then he called Meng Tian and set off immediately to attack Europe."

Zhu Yuanzhang: We have indeed never fought such a rich war!

【"At this time, outside the Xuanwu Gate, Zhao Gou looked at the approaching carriages and horses and fell into deep thought. Brother Li, Brother Li, please give me a guide to the Xuanwu Gate. It's urgent. I've been waiting online for two and a half hours, but I haven't seen Li Shimin reply."】

Li Shimin: What a great guide to the Xuanwu Gate.

Zhao Gou: It's not bad to be Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty!

【"It's just because his soul traveled to Adou, and he showed his skills in the turbulent times. With the talents of later generations, he took over Dongwu and defeated Cao Wei. He not only restored the Han Dynasty, but also achieved the unification of the world."】

"The imagination of people in later generations is really rich. If your majesty can travel to the body of the last emperor of the Han Dynasty, he will definitely restore the Han Dynasty!" The person who spoke was Zhangsun Wuji.

Li Shimin smiled and said, "If I could travel through time, I would like to see Prime Minister Zhuge Liang with my own eyes."

【"However, just when he was about to reward people for their merits, Zhuge Liang gave up the title and reward, and just asked before his death: I just want to ask, Your Majesty, you don't have to answer, where did my useless Majesty go?"】

［They kept changing, all of them were feudal systems and ideas of ruling the world, and backward cold weapons. The ancients had never accepted new democracy, Marxism, or the concept of social equality, so their ideas were destined to lag behind Europe. ］

［It can't be said that he who knows the times is a hero. I don't know when this sentence appeared, but the ancients were definitely not stupid, especially Ying Zheng.

What's more, the Qin Dynasty started with reforms, which made Qin rich and powerful, giving it the strength to sweep across the six countries.

If Ying Zheng could really travel through time to the end of the Qing Dynasty, he would definitely choose reforms, and then use the money from the treasury to buy advanced Western weapons, no matter what channel he used, whether it was legitimate transactions or smuggling. In order to strengthen the country, Ying Zheng would definitely get those technologies. ]

[Don't say that the Qing Dynasty was poor. The Qing government was not poor, but the common people were poor.

Think about the money paid out at the end of the Qing Dynasty, as well as the money for Cixi's birthday, daily expenses, and the money for repairing the Summer Palace.

The Qing Dynasty was not without money, but it did not use the money in the right place.

At that time, Japan introduced Western technology and carried out an industrial wave, and it developed in just twenty years.

The Qing Dynasty had a vast territory and a large population. If it could use the money in the industrial field and cultivate talents, it would not be a problem to beat Japan and dominate Asia. ]

[It's a pity that there is no if in history! ]
