Chapter 102

As the sun sets, the twilight shrouds the continuous mountains; one of the deserted mountains makes the ground even more bleak.

The Great Han Dynasty has gone through six generations. Except for the new emperor’s mausoleum, there are already five imperial tombs in the mausoleum area; different from the other four, this imperial tomb looks extremely dilapidated, as if few people come to maintain it .

The mausoleum gate where it entered the mausoleum has been in disrepair for a long time. Not only the door nails on the board door are rusty and patinaed, but also the plaque written on it has long faded and the handwriting is difficult to read. The low ground barely hangs on top.

The Yan'en Hall, which is located halfway up the mountain, can't be seen from a distance, only some ruins remain; if someone comes closer to see it, they may be able to infer from the half-burnt beams and pillars that it was destroyed by fire.

As for the mouth of the treasure city that is deeper, even the seal of the mausoleum has not been covered. The gate of the underground palace is just like this, and it has gradually become a hotbed for snakes, insects, rats and ants.

And today's emperor's Lu book is passing under this almost abandoned imperial tomb at this time.

The little emperor, who was sitting in the jade chair, ordered Li Yuntang who was beside him to open the curtain to let in some air;

It was already late at night when I sent the first emperor's Zigong past here, so Li Yuntang didn't notice it; but this time on his way back to Beijing, he finally saw the "face" of the mausoleum clearly, and confirmed to the emperor:
"Your Majesty, the mausoleum in front of you is the Zhaoling Mausoleum of Emperor Taizong Wen?"

"En." The little emperor responded lightly, with a very perfunctory attitude, as if he didn't want to answer this question.

"Emperor Taizong's coffin was not enshrined in the Qianling Xuan Palace?" Although Li Yuntang could hear the displeasure in the emperor's tone, he still insisted on asking.

"Why do you ask knowingly?" The little emperor finally raised his head, and looked at Li Yuntang with a complicated expression, "What's the use of mentioning this kind of thing, it will only increase troubles in vain."

Hearing such a statement, Li Yuntang no longer insisted on asking questions, and while lowering the curtain, sighed softly:
"Emperor Taizong's aura is deep and resourceful, and he never thought that he would not be able to enter the mausoleum..."

As if touched by this low-pitched emotion, the little emperor turned his silence just now, and recalled the past in the early years of the Han Dynasty:
"Emperor Taizu ruled for fifteen years after he established the tripod god capital, during which time he abolished bad government, encouraged agriculture and revitalized religion, and made the world gradually get rid of the ailments;
The succeeding Emperor Xiang still followed the national policy of living with the people, but only two years after he took the throne, he raised his troops again——

Galdan of the Zhunbu invaded Mobei with the intention of controlling the Khalkha tribe, and then advanced to Zhili. The big man asks for help and expresses his heart of surrender.

The Mobei Gobi is thousands of miles across, and this place can be used as a barrier for the capital to prevent the overturning of the civil fortress of the Ming Dynasty; "

Li Yuntang often reads the memoirs of the Great Han Dynasty's successive emperors, and he is also familiar with the confrontation between the Great Han Dynasty and Jungar, so he naturally knows what happened next:
During the next ten years of Emperor Xiang's reign, he fought several battles with the Zhunge'er tribe; in the end, Galdan was awarded the head, and Monan and Mobei were all Han's concubines.

Of course, the price is heavy.

After all, the invasion of Jianlu in history has already caused the loss of more than half of the household registrations in the world.

The situation of the great Han who recovered the rivers and mountains was even worse; although he succeeded in regaining the orthodoxy from under the iron hooves of Jianlu, the process was even more tragic.

Jianlu, who was supported by some gentry, had a war potential that should not be underestimated; from the beginning of the battle of the two famous kings to the restoration of the god capital by the Han army, it took another 20 years to fight.

When the Han and captives were fighting, there was a back and forth tug of war from time to time; such an intense war would naturally make the already severely damaged population worse.

Taxation is the foundation of a country's operation, and population is the basis of taxation; therefore, the Han Dynasty, which was linked to wars and disasters, seemed a bit vain at the beginning of its establishment.

The first 15 years of recuperation was a good start, which restored the world to a certain extent, but the sudden chaos in Mobei dragged the new Han Dynasty into the quagmire again.

At the beginning of Emperor Taizong's accession to the throne, the country became a mess again; the people's livelihood in the world was in decline, and the Jian captives who had escaped from the pass for more than ten years were also licking their wounds and waiting for an opportunity to go south to knock at the pass.

Emperor Taizong, who had just stepped into the throne, faced a world that was waiting to be rebuilt, and his methods were quite sophisticated. He found another way to start with North Korea on the peninsula to solve the predicament.

Before the Jiashen national calamity, Huang Taiji sent troops to push Kaesong, and when he signed an alliance with the Joseon Dynasty under the city, the entire peninsula immediately became the territory of Jianlu.

However, the Great Han succeeded Ming Zuo, and the relationship with the Li Dynasty should be closer in legal terms. Facing the gradually restless Jianlu, Emperor Taizong sent envoys to the dynasty from the sea, hoping to open another town in Dongjiang, and make Jianlu suffer from enemies.

Perhaps it was because the envoys of the Han Dynasty belittled the Jianlu too much, or the monarchs and ministers of the Li Dynasty thought highly of themselves, and after categorically rejecting the proposal of the great Han, they went so far as to repay the favor of the old country, the Ming Dynasty, and attacked the Qing alone.

Although the Jianlu who are entrenched outside the pass are remnants, they are still brave and brave. They have not captured North Korea before. First, they are afraid of the Han army in the south. Second, they often have border conflicts with Shuchi Ulus in the north, and have no time to take care of the small countries in the southeast. .

However, if someone sent it to the door without thinking, the situation would be different.

Under the iron hooves of Jianlu, the army of the Li Dynasty was at the mercy of others like dough; Yue Le, who was devastated everywhere in the battle with the Han army, was like a killing god on the small peninsula; with only three thousand flags, Then he went straight to Kaesong again.

In order to better rule the Li Dynasty, Jianlu repeated his old tricks, united some two groups of nobles, and engaged in the act of shaving their hair and changing clothes; this behavior naturally aroused the resistance of the whole country, and they fled to North Korea in the south. The royal family took the initiative to cross the sea to ask for help this time.

Emperor Taizong saw this opportunity and proposed the method of asking for Pidao and re-opening Dongjiang Town to counteract Jianlu. Can make both parties win-win.

Then the Han Dynasty cultivated and thrived, and at the same time used Phi Island as a basis to raid Liaodong from time to time, disturbing the land and building captives who could not rest; while losing the remnants of the Khalkha tribe in Mobei and having no board to go to sea, they wanted to invade the invaders Inside the customs, there is only one road, Shanhaiguan.

For them, who are sparsely populated, it is tantamount to no way!

Therefore, the Han and Yu were strong, and the captives were weaker; after [-] years of hard work, Emperor Taizong divided his troops into three groups and started the northern expedition;

The Han army on the West Road came out of Juyongguan, joined forces with the servant army of the Khalkha tribe, followed the old route of Huang Taiji's attack on the Chahar tribe, and went straight to Shengjing;

The East Road goes out from the sea, taking Dongjiang Town as the base, and taking the opportunity to attack southern Liaoning;
And Emperor Taizong himself, even personally led the Chinese army to go out from Shanhaiguan via the Liaoxi Corridor.

Wherever the soldiers of the Han army pointed at in the three routes, the banners of the captives were built, and all of them were defeated!

"Taizong used North Korea as a starting point to leverage the entire Liaodong, and then wiped out Jianlu and cleared up Xia!"

Li Yuntang, who was immersed in memories, recalled this soul-stirring history, and couldn't help sighing:
"Then he used this help as a coercion to force Li Chao to cut off Ping'an, Xianjing, and Huanghai as military resources for the great Han to send troops; the four prefectures of the former strong Han and Andong of the giant Tang finally returned to the territory of China after thousands of years. !"

"What's the use of that?" The little emperor's voice was still calm, and there was a hint of sadness, "Taizong's western expedition to Jungar, lost many teachers, and he couldn't return. In the end, he died outside Jiayuguan and was not allowed to enter. Mausoleum."

"Nowadays people in the world only know Taizong's great defeat in the Western Expedition, how many people still think of Emperor Wen's contribution to Ping Liao?"
