Chapter 37 Xuanwumen Incident, Li Shimin collapsed in pain
Although Li Shimin's poems are not many, they cover his achievements very well.
All the emperors after the Tang Dynasty were convinced by Li Shimin. Even Ying Zheng, Liu Bang, Liu Che and others could see the power of Li Shimin and the Tang Dynasty at a glance.
The music and drums gradually became smaller, and the title of this video finally appeared,
[The second among the ten most meritorious emperors in history: Tang Taizong Li Shimin!]
[Producer: Su Qian]
Changsun, who was watching the sky video with Li Shimin, showed a smile that confuses all living beings and said:
"For thousands of years in China, my second brother has actually been able to rank second in the rankings of many emperors. This is an honor that belongs to my second brother and also to the people of the Tang Dynasty!"
Tang Gaozu Li Yuan, who had followed "secretly", couldn't help but snorted coldly when looking at the video in mid-air, saying: "You are just the second child of a thousand years, huh!"
Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and others all bowed in the direction of Li Shimin: "Congratulations, Your Majesty! Congratulations, Your Majesty! This is the glory that belongs to Your Majesty, and it is also the glory that belongs to our Datang Empire!"
"This is the expectation of tens of millions of people of the Tang Dynasty and the honor of countless officials of the Tang Dynasty!"
[What are the achievements of Li Shimin, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty? Why can he be regarded as a role model by later emperors?]
[Today, we will first take stock of Li Shimin’s great achievements!]
The scene in the video suddenly shifted from the prosperous times to the troubled times.
White bones are exposed in the wild, and there are no roosters crowing for thousands of miles.
One of the hundreds of things left behind by the living people will break people's hearts even if they think about it.
This is the tragic situation in the late Sui Dynasty. This is the mess left by Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty.
[When the Sui Dynasty fell, the country's population was halved, the royal family was basically wiped out, and the world was completely divided. The barbarians on the border were watching with eager eyes and might invade the Central Plains at any time, reenacting the situation of the Sixteen Kingdoms era!]
The three generations of emperors of the Liu family couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.
In real life, Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty Yang Jian's fingernails had sunk deeply into his flesh and blood, and blood dripped down his palms slowly to the ground.
[At the end of the Sui Dynasty, rebels from all over the country swarmed in. Li Yuan, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, took advantage of the situation and raised his troops, which kicked off the Li family's struggle to conquer the world. 】
[Tang Taizong Li Shimin was the son of Tang Gaozu Li Yuan and the second emperor of the Tang Dynasty.]
[In the first year of Yining, the fate of the Sui Dynasty came to an end. Li Shimin secretly plotted an uprising. He often lowered his status and praised scholars, and used his property to support his followers. Among the heroes and thieves, no one was willing to die. 】
[In the same year, Li Shimin encouraged his father Li Yuan to rebel against the Sui Dynasty, for Jinyang.
Li Shimin personally led an army to attack Xihe and announced a decree.
After capturing Xihe, Li Yuan granted Li Shimin the title of Duke of Dunhuang, the commander-in-chief of the army on the right, and the commander of the three armies on the right!]
[Li Shimin was one of the few monarchs in Chinese history who was particularly good at fighting. He had made countless military exploits. It can be said that without him, there would be no Tang Dynasty. 】
【Longxi battle between Xue Ju and Xue Rengao.】
[Xue Ju occupied Longxi, claiming to be the overlord of the Western Qin Dynasty and later the emperor. He was also the only person who gave Li Shimin a taste of defeat.
Xue Ju defeated Qin King Li Shimin, captured Liu Hongji, Murong Luohu and other famous generals of Li and Tang Dynasties alive, and became famous for a while. Unfortunately, after his death, his son failed to live up to expectations. Li Shimin adopted a post-attack approach in the battle of Qianshuiyuan, defeating the enemy by exhausting the enemy, and pursuing the enemy with a strong wall.
Using a fierce attack strategy, he defeated Xue Ju's son Xue Rengao. Not only did he take revenge, he also destroyed the Western Qin regime.】
[The Battle of Liu Wu and Zhou Baibi in Hedong.]
[Liu Wuzhou's regime was somewhat special. He relied on the Turks, occupied most of Hedong, which had sufficient supplies, and threatened Guanzhong. He was a great threat to Li and Tang at that time.
Especially after Liu Wuzhou defeated Qi King Li Yuanji, his power became stronger and stronger.
Later, Liu Wuzhou continued to advance south, and Li Shimin led his troops to attack and stationed troops in Baibi to maintain a stalemate with him.
After occupying the favorable terrain, Li Shimin used the strategy of waiting for hunger, holding on to the wall, recharging his energy, and waiting for work. Finally, he defeated Liu Wuzhou in the Battle of Baibi and eliminated Liu Wuzhou's forces in Hedong.]
[Wang Shichong and Dou Jiande at the Battle of Hulao Pass.]
[This battle can be called the most classic battle in Li Shimin’s life. This battle also directly laid the foundation for Li Tang’s unification of the world!]
[Qin King Li Shimin led his army to Luoyang and defeated Wang Shichong's army (Zheng army) and Dou Jiande's army (Xia army) at Hulao Pass.
At that time, Li Shimin's militiamen besieged Wang Shichong, and Dou Jiande led an army of 100,000 (known as 300,000) to rush to the rescue. Li Shimin divided his troops into two groups and continued to besiege Wang Shichong in Luoyang. He himself led 3,000 light cavalry and rode to Hulao at starry night to resist Dou Jiande.
Li Shimin's three thousand elite cavalry keenly seized the opportunity and launched an attack with lightning speed when Xia's army was tired. Xia's army was defeated!
In this battle, Li Shimin defeated Dou Jiande's 100,000 troops with 3,000 cavalry, and became famous all over the world!
Dou Jiande was captured after his defeat, and Wang Shichong also chose to surrender because he had no reinforcements.
This time, Li Shimin defeated more with less and destroyed two kings in one battle, making him the leader in the "world of emperors who know how to fight."
【Liu Heitai's Battle of Mingshui.】
[Liu Heitai was a general under Dou Jiande. After Dou Jiande's death, he raised troops to rebel against the Tang Dynasty.
He successively defeated famous Li and Tang generals such as Li Shentong, Luo Yi, and Li Shiji, seriously threatening the Tang Dynasty's rule in Hebei.
So Li Shimin personally went out to fight against Liu Heitai. In the early stage, he chose to close the base and not fight. He used surprise troops to cut off the enemy's food routes. When his food was exhausted and his energy weakened, he attacked with fine cavalry and drained the Ming River to help the battle. He defeated Liu Heitai's army and Liu Heitai's army was defeated.
Ta led the remnants of his army to flee into the Turks.]
[Four classic battles, destroying five princes!]
[With such powerful military talent, I am afraid that only Emperor Hongwu and Emperor Guangwu can compare.]
Among these ten emperors, those who have led troops include Li Shimin, Zhu Yuanzhang, Liu Xiu, Zhao Kuangyin, Liu Bang, Yang Jian and others. Even Ying Zheng, Liu Che and others who have not led troops still have very powerful generals under their command.
These emperors who are on the list all have one thing in common, that is, they have made achievements in civil and military affairs. The difference lies in the number and the mistakes they made.
[When Li Shimin succeeded to the throne, the internal and external environment of the Tang Dynasty was not very stable. 】
[The biggest problem in the internal environment is that Li Shimin is not in the right position.]
Seeing this, Li Shimin and the people in his parallel world all changed their expressions, and said to themselves: "Here we come!"
[When Liu Wenjing was killed and the Yang Wenqian incident occurred, the conflict between the King of Qin and the Crown Prince reached an irreconcilable point.
In order to keep his position as the crown prince, Li Jiancheng, with Li Yuan's tacit approval, successively expelled Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui, important counselors in the Qin Palace. Li Jiancheng also planned to deal harsh blows to Li Shimin's general Wei Chi Jingde and others. This series of actions aroused Li Shimin's anger.
huge rebound.]
[However, even though the conflict between Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin was like fire and water, Li Jiancheng still rejected Wei Zheng and others' suggestion to kill Li Shimin. He still hoped that his brother would change his mind.
