Chapter 261 Proclaiming Emperor
He naturally hoped that foreign races would not exist for too long, otherwise it would be the Han people who would have a hard time.
Others thought the same way. They didn't have any good feelings towards foreigners at all.
The people of the Yuan Dynasty were silent.
The people of the Qing Dynasty were also silent.
No one dared to show up for fear of being scolded.
Although later generations acknowledged their existence, previous dynasties did not.
So they'd better be careful, otherwise they would be scolded like Wanyan Gou.
Who wants to be scolded for no reason?
Wanyan Gou???
No, no matter how many times he says he has abdicated, please stop scolding him, okay? He has been honest, please let him go.
"The Yuan Dynasty was established less than a hundred years ago, ninety-eight years. But if we count based on Genghis Khan, then it has been more than a hundred years. However, Genghis Khan did not establish a country and was busy fighting wars all the time. It was his grandson Kublai Khan who later named the country Yuan. So generally speaking, we count the Yuan Dynasty from Kublai Khan, and it was less than a hundred years in total," Li Wu shrugged. There was no other way. Genghis Khan did not establish a country like the Han people did and was busy fighting wars every day.
"With a history of less than a hundred years, this foreign race is really no match," Huo Qubing said arrogantly, his emotions written all over his face.
"Hehe, in fact, Kublai Khan, the founder of the Yuan Dynasty, did a pretty good job," Li Wu said, and three pairs of eyes looked at Li Wu in unison.
"Little immortal, how can you praise foreigners?" Xu Da said a little unhappy. If they were to ask the three of them who hated the Yuan Dynasty the most, it would definitely be Xu Da.
Huo Qubing and Xue Rengui lived before the Yuan Dynasty. Although they also hated foreigners, they had no idea how difficult life was for the Han people during the Yuan Dynasty.
Xu Da, he actually experienced the late Yuan Dynasty. If the people were not really given no way to survive, they would not have rebelled, right?
When Kublai Khan heard Li Wu say that he had done a good job, his eyes were filled with tears. He had gained the recognition of the little immortal.
He knew that he was not a Han Chinese, so after moving to the Central Plains and establishing his dynasty, he was very cautious and tried hard to learn the Central Plains culture.
No one in the barrage cursed Li Wu, but people were a little curious about this Yuan Shizu.
"Ahem, Senior Xu Da, I'm not praising Emperor Shizu of Yuan. The main point is that he did a good job. It's the emperors who came after him who were too outrageous.
Although the Yuan Dynasty did exist for a short time, its territory was vast. It was the dynasty with the largest territory in history, but the people who managed it were not very good at it. It is useless to have a large territory, you need to know how to manage it," Li Wu sighed, the territory of the Yuan Dynasty was really large.
The Qing Dynasty was the same, but they ceded too much territory and paid too much compensation later, wuwuwu (╥w╥`)
Damn Cixi!
Xu Da was silent. What the little immortal said is true.
Li Wu took out a tablet and stood up. "Seniors, please take a look. This is the territorial area of the Qin Dynasty," Li Wu flipped through the pictures one by one.
Qin Shi Huang stared at the sky with wide eyes. His Great Qin was too small. He had known from the map that his Great Qin was small, but he had never imagined it to be so small. That tiny bit of land was so pitifully small.
When they saw the Yuan Dynasty, everyone's eyes widened. The little immortal was right. The territory of the Yuan Dynasty was really large.
It is much bigger than later generations.
The previous emperor of the Qing Dynasty, huh? Why did their Qing Dynasty's territory become so much smaller?
So everyone asked in the barrage, the emperor and ministers of the Qing Dynasty remained silent and felt extremely guilty.
Cixi was still enjoying it, she was just looking at the sky curtain for fun.
After watching it, the three of them were also deeply impressed.
"The Yuan Dynasty did have a large territory, but the territory of our Han Dynasty will definitely be larger and more vast than that of the Yuan Dynasty in the future," Huo Qubing said loudly, severely comparing the Yuan Dynasty.
Hum(▼皿▼)
"Hahaha, well said, General Huo," Xu Da laughed.
Xue Rengui also nodded.
During the reign of Emperor Wu of Han, Emperor Wu of Han grinned and said, "Oh, Qubing is exactly what he wants. Look at what he said, how could he not like it?"
Others also expressed in the barrage that they would work hard to surpass the Yuan Dynasty.
"What the Champion Marquis said is right, let's conquer the whole world and plant the flags of China everywhere," Li Wu put away the tablet. After seeing this picture, he thought that the fighting spirit of our ancestors was even stronger.
"Hehe," Huo Qubing laughed foolishly.
"Let me continue talking about Senior Xu Da, who just mentioned the preparations for the Northern Expedition against the Yuan Dynasty.
In 1367, Zhu Yuanzhang appointed Xu Da as the General of Conquering the Enemy Army and Chang Yuchun as his deputy general, and led an army of to launch a northern expedition.
The Northern Expedition naturally had to have a reason, saying that the Yuan court was corrupt, licentious, and oppressed the people, and that its luck had run out. It also promoted the idea that Zhu Yuanzhang's Northern Expedition was for the people.
He wanted to gain the support of the people in the north.
This is not a bad idea. When fighting against alien races, there must always be a reason."
Xu Da said as a matter of course, "Isn't this reason enough? Under the rule of the Yuan Dynasty, the people have a hard time, and they have long wanted to overthrow the Yuan Dynasty."
The people of the Yuan Dynasty looked unhappy, especially those in the late Yuan Dynasty. They had already sent people to look for a man named Zhu Yuanzhang, intending to get rid of him first.
But I didn’t find it, after all, he was not called Zhu Yuanzhang at that time.
Many talented people had heard that the Ming Dynasty would succeed the Yuan Dynasty, and that the Ming Taizu had a humble background, so they also wanted to gain the credit of following the dragon.
Knowing that Zhu Yuanzhang was the final winner, he had more defenders.
"Enough, enough, enough. It's absolutely enough," Li Wu replied with a smile. How could it be not enough?
Sometimes war only needs a reason and it doesn't care what the reason is.
"Senior Xu Da, when you arrived in Xiapi, you ordered Zhang Xingzu to lead a group of troops to set out from Xuzhou and attack Jining and Dongping first.
Who would have thought that at this time, Wang Xuan and his son Wang Xin actually rebelled. They were originally defending generals of the Yuan Dynasty, but later surrendered.
It seems that they are just pretending to surrender on the surface.
The two men also fled to other places to recruit troops in an attempt to stop Zhang Xingzu from going north.
Senior Xu Da, you should immediately march into Yizhou and kill Wang Xuan, but Wang Xin escaped.
Later, Senior Xu Da, you led a large army to attack Yizhou. The Yuan Dynasty defender was no match for you, Senior Xu Da, and he took Yizhou directly.
They took advantage of the victory to capture other places, and Zhang Xingzu also captured many places.
Many Yuan generals also surrendered. The Yuan army was frightened when they saw how fiercely your side, Senior Xu Da, fought. The emperor of the Yuan Dynasty at that time, Yuan Huizong, did not even give orders to the Yuan generals.
By 1368, Zhu Yuanzhang saw that the Northern Expedition was going so smoothly, so he ascended the throne in Yingtian Prefecture and proclaimed himself emperor.
After the Ming Dynasty was established, Senior Xu Da was appointed as the Right Prime Minister. After the crown prince was enthroned, he became the crown prince's tutor, which means he was on the crown prince's side. "
Xu Da was helpless. Who among the civil and military officials in the court would not stand on the side of the prince?
Although he is the father-in-law of Prince Yan, he supports the Crown Prince. Besides, if nothing unexpected happens, the Crown Prince will definitely become the emperor in the future, and Prince Yan can only be the general.
