Sixth Update

The relics of Hejia Village gave the four women a great shock, and also gave Cao Yue a lot of emotion.

In fact, this is the second time he has come to see the exhibition, but the last time he came alone.

The level of craftsmanship and manufacturing in the Tang Dynasty is really high, and the fineness of many cultural relics is a miracle in the eyes of people now.

The manufacturing process of an era is directly proportional to the national strength of that era. The country is strong, the people are rich, the culture is prosperous, and the level of productivity is very high, so that some people think about the production of these works of art.

You can't get enough to eat, are you still in the mood to toss these things?

The descriptions written in history books are all fictional, and reading them does not necessarily give people a realistic feeling.

But after looking at these objects, you can roughly feel the prosperity of that era. This feeling is even worse after visiting other exhibitions in Shaanbo.

The tens of thousands of Tang poems that have survived to the present day also illustrate this point from another side.

Eat well, eat well, and dress warmly, so that you are in the mood to toss these, the prosperity of that era, Tang poetry and the artwork of the Tang Dynasty are the best proof.

The Tang Dynasty is really the most glorious and powerful era in Chinese history, especially the hundred years from Li Shimin's Zhenguan rule to Li Longji's Kaiyuan Dynasty, when the Tang Dynasty was super strong in military strength and rapidly expanding its territory.

The economy and culture have also developed rapidly along with the strong military strength, and China's influence on the world is even greater than that of the United States today.

Li Shimin, Li Zhi, Wu Zetian, and Li Longji's martial arts made the prosperity of the prosperous Tang Dynasty reach the peak of the feudal dynasty.

The people are rich, the world is peaceful, the road is not left behind, the night is not closed, the level of productivity is developing rapidly, and the influence of Han culture on the world has reached the extreme.

"The Tang Dynasty was also a dynasty established from the ruins, and at the end of the Sui Dynasty, the world was in turmoil, and the population and social wealth fell like a cliff because of the war. When Li Yuan was proclaimed emperor in Chang'an, the Tang Dynasty was very weak, and the population of the country was only about 10 million. In the ninth year of Wude, not long after Li Shimin succeeded to the throne as emperor, the Eastern Turk leader Jieli Khan led hundreds of thousands of troops to the bank of the Wei River, and Chang'an was in danger. Li Shimin had to sacrifice a large amount of money in exchange for the withdrawal of the Turks, which was a great shame that this majestic emperor had been haunting for the rest of his life. ”

While visiting the Tang Dynasty History Exhibition, Cao Yue told the four women what he knew about the history of the Tang Dynasty.

"This is an empire and an emperor who will never give in, and after this great humiliation, Li Shimin and his ministers fought hard to seek revenge. Three years later, in the winter of the third year of Zhenguan, Li Shimin sent Li Jing, the most famous general of the Tang Dynasty, to lead a bunch of generals who were also famous in the annals of history: Li Shixian, Chai Shao, Wei Chi Jingde, Qin Shubao, Cheng Yanjin, Zhang Gongjin, Li Daozong, etc., to wave the Northern Expedition and prepare for revenge. ”

"When the war began, it was the eleventh month of the lunar calendar, the most unsuitable season for fighting in the northern region. Famous generals have their own shrewdness, Li Jing and other generals knew that the Turks would not expect the Tang army to go on a northern expedition in winter, so they chose to send troops at this time. As a result, Jieli Khan was defenseless and suffered heavy defeats one after another. Sixty-year-old Li Jing personally led more than 10,000 men and horses to pursue Jieli's 100,000-strong army on ice and snow. ”

At this time, Nie Qing, who didn't know much about history, interjected: "Jieli's 100,000 army can't beat more than 10,000 Tang cavalry?"

"Yes," Cao Yue said with a smile: "The Turks fled in embarrassment, but they couldn't escape the net of the Tang army. In the end, there were only more than 10,000 men left around Jieli Khan, and Li Jing continued to lead the army in pursuit. You can think about how much courage and courage it takes for a veteran in his sixties to brave the bitter cold of dozens of degrees below zero and risk his life to pursue the Turks who are accustomed to the harsh cold climate. ”

At the time of the final blow, Li Jing sent his vanguard general Su Dingfang, that is, the famous general Su Lie, Dingfang is his word, and led two hundred horsemen to raid Jieli's tooth tent. What is a tooth tent?" Nie Qing asked this question, Cao Yue was stunned for a moment, and immediately explained: "It is the big tent where the Turkic Khans live, and it can be said that it is their mobile capital. At that time, there were more than 10,000 elite soldiers under Jieli, hehe, the generals at that time were really not afraid of death, Su Dingfang led more than 200 horsemen, and even dared to sneak attack the Turkic tent guarded by more than 10,000 elite soldiers. ”

"What about the result?" Nie Qing was originally not very interested in history, which is common to most women. It's just that what Cao Yue said today completely aroused her interest, and she very much hoped that Cao Yue could tell more stories related to the history of the Tang Dynasty, and behaved like a curious baby, interjecting from time to time to ask.

"The result was naturally that Su Dingfang's two hundred horsemen won a big victory, and Jieli continued to lead the remnants to escape, and finally entered Li Shiyun, who was the ambush circle of Xu Maogong, who said that he was half human and half immortal in Tang Romance. In the end, Jieli Khan was captured alive and taken to Chang'an as a prisoner of war, until he died of old age, and the Eastern Turks were also declared extinct. ”

This battle laid the foundation of the prosperous Tang Dynasty, and the Tianwei of the Tang Dynasty has since spread throughout the north and south of the desert, the east and west of the Tianshan Mountains, countless Huyi tribes have come to surrender, and many Huyi leaders have competed to join each other. It was at that time that famous Hu generals such as Qibi He Li, Zhi Si Li, Asina Sheer, and Ashina Simo were attached to the Tang Dynasty. After they joined the Tang Dynasty, they fought for the Tang Dynasty and did not rebel until their deaths, and many Hu generals also became generals of the forbidden army, guarding the palace of the Tang Dynasty for Li Shimin. After Li Shimin's death, they cried one by one and shouted to wipe their necks for Li Er's funeral," Speaking of this, Cao Yue had a yearning look on his face: "The territory of the Tang Dynasty has also begun to expand rapidly. ”

"In the Xianqing period of the reign of Li Zhi, the territory of the Tang Dynasty reached the extreme, how big is it? Let's put it this way, it is almost twice the size of the current China, and it is more than 20 million square kilometers. The Andong Metropolitan Protectorate is in the present-day Korean Peninsula, the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate includes Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan, Afghanistan, and Iran, most of the Beiting Metropolitan Protectorate is in present-day Russia, the Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate includes Mongolia and the Russian Far East, the Antam Metropolitan Protectorate is in present-day Vietnam, and the Annan Metropolitan Protectorate is now Hanoi. Nine days to open the palace, all the countries to worship the crown, the prosperous Tang Dynasty and all the countries to come to the dynasty, is unimaginable now. ”

"There is a very interesting story in history that the envoys of the Wa Kingdom and Silla fought over who stood closer to the emperor. Because in the eyes of their envoys, the position of the court is closer to the emperor, which means that their country has a closer relationship with the Tang Dynasty, and their country is more valued by the Tang Emperor. Such an interesting story is enough to illustrate the status of Datang at that time in the minds of neighboring countries. Today's Lao Mei's influence on the world cannot be compared with the Tang Dynasty at that time. Tang poetry and Han culture were the most admired and liked culture and art in that era, and countless Hu people competed to learn Chinese and came to Chang'an, the place where we are standing now. At that time, the status of the Han people was not comparable to that of the Hu people. The Hu people are five big and three thick, but walking on the street of Chang'an, in front of the Han people is the grandson. It's a pity that in the current China, the status of the Hu people is completely above that of the Han people, and they often enjoy super-national treatment."

Speaking of this, Cao Yue showed a face full of regret: "Today's Huaxia has an influence that cannot be compared with the prosperous Tang Dynasty. When will China be able to restore the glory of the Han and Tang dynasties, and when will Han culture and Sinology continue to be respected all over the world?"

The four daughters who originally listened to it with relish were also gloomy for a while.

No one could answer Cao Yue's question, they knew that it would take too much time.

However, they have a further understanding of Cao Yue's patriotic feelings.

They even believed that if Cao Yue one day ruled this country, he would definitely do everything he could to revive China.

This is a man who is full of blood and passion, has a strong love for his country and nation, has a strong patriotic feeling, is a man who really stands up to the sky, of course, this is a man who makes them can't help but give birth to love, he is full of magnetism, which specifically attracts women's magnetism, and strongly attracts them.
