Chapter 1015 Dynasty Map
The two mentioned King Huainan and King Hengshan felt like the sky was falling. What should they do? Is it too late to admit their mistakes now?
They haven't rebelled yet.
"Emperor Wu of Han, your 'Enfeoffment Order' was truly effective. It reduced the Liu family members, Emperor Guangwu of Han to a commoner, and Emperor Zhaolie of Han to a straw sandal seller.
It was a blatant conspiracy that forced them to comply," Li Wu said with a smile. At that time, the implementation of the Enfeoffment Order was of great help to Emperor Wu of Han. As for his descendants, they were countless generations away and he had no control over them at all.
Liu Xiu and Liu Bei in front of the sky curtain could only smile bitterly. What else could they say?
We cannot say that Emperor Wu of Han's "Enfeoffment Order" was bad. We can even praise it as very good. If they were in his position, they would definitely use it.
Zhu Yuanzhang, the first emperor of the Ming Dynasty, frowned. As an emperor, he naturally wanted his descendants to live a good life and not suffer any more.
He has suffered enough and doesn't want his descendants to suffer anymore. There's nothing wrong with that.
But ever since I heard from the little immortal that his Ming Dynasty would be dragged down by his clan members, and he gave birth to more than a hundred children alone, how could this not drag down their Ming Dynasty?
Later he changed his mind and could only say that his children and grandchildren have their own blessings and he couldn't care less. He wanted to care, but he couldn't.
"Little immortal, please tell me whether this 'Enfeoffment Order' is good or not, hahaha," Emperor Wu of Han laughed. Anyway, he thought it was good and could help him break up the power of those princes.
He couldn't just watch the power of those princes grow stronger and stronger. Wouldn't it be easy for them to rebel then? Rebellion by princes was quite common in history, so he had to avoid it.
"That's indeed good," Li Wu nodded affirmatively. It's very good.
"Also, Emperor Wu of Han, your most important strategic goal is to 'destroy the Hu', that is, to eliminate the threat posed by the Xiongnu to the Han Dynasty.
In addition to recruiting Wei Qing and Huo Qubing to fight in the war.
During the Jianyuan period, he also sent Zhang Qian to the Western Regions in an attempt to form a military alliance with the Dayuezhi, the Xiongnu's arch-enemy, who had migrated to the Western Regions.
However, Zhang Qian was captured by the Xiongnu on the way, and after escaping, he was unable to convince the Dayuezhi to unite with the Han Dynasty. Therefore, the Dayuezhi's plan to form an alliance to "destroy the Hu" was not realized.
However, by accident, the Silk Road was opened.
Later, Emperor Wu of Han continued to expand the territory. After sending troops to destroy Nanyue, you set up the Nine Commanderies of Nanhai, and successively pacified the Western Qiang, Wei Dynasty Korea, Dongyue, Southwestern Yi and other places.
The eastern part of the present-day West Sea, the Korean Peninsula, the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau and other areas were incorporated into the territory.
The territory of the Han Dynasty doubled.
"Not bad, not bad. The Han Dynasty's territory is still very large. I remember showing you, our ancestors, the map of your own dynasty before, right?" Li Wu asked. She didn't remember much else.
Who could remember it so clearly?
The territories of many dynasties were much larger than those of their later generations. Speaking of this, we have to blame the Qing Dynasty. All they did every day was cede land and pay compensation, cede land and pay compensation, and they almost paid all the land.
She doesn't want to talk about the period after the Qing Dynasty, it's all shame. Many people say that the Qing Dynasty had treaties, which were all unequal and humiliating treaties!
"Little Immortal, I haven't seen it, so can you let me see it again?" Emperor Wu of Han smiled. He wanted to let others see the empire he had conquered.
Li Wu touched his chin and frowned, "Did I remember it wrongly? Have you really never shown it to me, my ancestors? If you haven't seen it, it's not too late to see it now."
The emperors in front of the sky were also looking forward to it. The immortal really didn't show them anything. He only showed them the world map and the map of future generations.
Of course they knew their own territory, especially that of the previous dynasties, and they wanted to know the territory of the later dynasties.
"Let's take a look now," Li Wu called up the maps of several dynasties.
"This is the territory of the Qin Dynasty. It's quite small, occupying only a very small area." The first one is naturally the territory of the Qin Dynasty.
Qin Shihuang saw the territory of his dynasty in front of the sky curtain. He had known this for a long time. Now the territory has expanded by more than just one or two points. It is no longer just a small amount.
The territories of each dynasty began to expand. When other people saw the territories of their own dynasties, some felt proud while others felt inferior. No, their territories were so small?
Compared with other dynasties, it is simply incomparable.
Especially the people of Daqin, no, how could they, Daqin, lag behind other dynasties? Moreover, the territories, when compared, are simply incomparable. They must rise up and conquer a vast territory!
"I've finished looking at it all." Li Wu was about to put it away when Emperor Wu of Han pointed at the large map and asked, "Is this the territory conquered by the Yuan Dynasty?"
Emperor Wu of Han's eyes turned red. This was much larger than the territory of his Han Dynasty. This alien race must have some strength.
"Yes, among all dynasties, the Yuan Dynasty had the largest territory, but it just didn't know how to manage it," Li Wu waved his hand and put it away. It was not easy to manage such a large territory.
"In the future, the territory of my Han Dynasty will certainly be larger, even larger than that of the Yuan Dynasty," said Emperor Wu of Han.
The same was true for Emperor Taizu of Ming and Emperor Wen of Sui. How could they be worse than the Yuan Dynasty? That was definitely not possible.
Now that they have traded so many things with the little immortal, it is natural that they want to conquer all the places they know.
"It would be best if you have this ambition. Eat, eat," Li Wu called out. She naturally hoped that the ancestors would conquer the whole world and leave only China in this world.
Those other countries, huh, it would be better if none of them existed.
"Then I will continue to talk about your deeds, Emperor Wu of Han.
However, the long-term wars on all sides also caused serious social crises within the Han Dynasty.
The people were exhausted, the granaries were empty, and the people were displaced.
However, Emperor Wu of Han not only failed to adjust policies and give the people a rest, but instead made things worse.
You promoted cruel officials, sold official positions and titles, and nationalized all businesses such as salt, iron, and wine, and managed them uniformly by the government.
Although these measures greatly increased the court's income, they also made the lives of the people, who were already struggling, even worse.
Later on, there even emerged a situation where "the whole world was in ruins and people started eating each other again."
As a result, society was in turmoil and thieves were everywhere.
"Alas, although Emperor Wu of Han has made great contributions, the people in your time did not have an easy life, and the same was true during the reign of Emperor Zheng," Li Wu sighed. Although Qin Shi Huang and Emperor Wu of Han were highly respected, they were only respected after their time. Before that, they were only criticized and few people admired them.
