Subverted This is the Emperor Chat Group

"Do you know what a real grand unification is?"

Suddenly, everyone in the chat group frowned and thought deeply.

171. Regional Unification (Seeking Monthly Pass)

Li Shimin frowned at the moment. Judging from the progress of the great unification, the first was the unification of territories, followed by the unification of ideology, and then the unification of nations mentioned by Sima Qian.

Qiangu Li Er:

"Are you talking about national unity?"

"After the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, the Xianbei people invaded the north, which also allowed the nomadic and agricultural civilizations to carry out the first great national integration."

"You don't mean that the Sui Dynasty established by Yang Guang was recognized by both the Hu people and the Han people, the Yanhuang nation?"

Li Shimin's heart moved. You must know that at that time, there was a saying of Sinicizing Hu people.

For example, Yu Kai, the most famous architect in the Sui Dynasty, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, he is a Sinicized barbarian.

Friends of Wives:

"Sima Qian is really powerful. He proposed the unification of the Yanhuang people."

"After it was used in the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, you can see how advanced this theory is."

"That must be the unification of the nation, let all the people in the Yanhuang territory agree, the Yanhuang nation."

Zhu Di also nodded, this is the strength of Yanhuang, with its strong inclusiveness and assimilation power.

This is also an extension of the grand unity of thought.

Li Shimin laughed.

Qiangu Li Er

"The unification of the nation is a great achievement for thousands of years, and it cannot be accomplished by Emperor Sui Yang alone."

"As long as it is a unified dynasty, it will gather the centripetal force of Yanhuang."

"It can be said that as long as it is a unified dynasty, all the kings have contributed to the unity of the nation."

"Can this be credited to Emperor Sui Yang alone?"

Chen Tong shook his head.

Chen Tong:

"Is this the grand unification you understand?"

"If we talk about the unification of territory, the unification of thought, and the unification of nations, in fact, the system and framework of the unification were basically completed during the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty."

"The kings of later generations, as long as they follow the system of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, they will definitely be able to solve these problems."

"The most difficult thing to accomplish in the true unification is also the homework left to future kings by Qin Huang and Han Wu, that is, regional unification!"

"What is regional unification?"

"For a long time, because of regional customs, cultural differences, and geographical natural dangers, resulting in:"

"Yanhuang, north and south confront each other, east and west are separated."

"This is the last problem to be solved in the process of unification, and it is also this problem that caused the division of the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties for more than 360 years."

it is this?

Cao Cao's eyes brightened, didn't he suffer the whole loss?

Friends of wives:

"That's right, the confrontation between the North and the South is because of the natural danger of the Yangtze River!"

"There is also the issue of cultural differences between the North and the South. The cultures are different. How can we win the hearts of the people?"

"I think back then, if it weren't for the danger of the Yangtze River, Cao Cao would have captured Sun Zhongmou alive and brought Er Qiao to Tongque Terrace."

Zhu Di also nodded.

Execute the prosperous hero of your ten clans:

"The confrontation between the North and the South was obvious even in the Ming Dynasty."

"Things are even more obvious. The east is much more developed than the west, and the west is a desolate and bitterly cold place. It is difficult to integrate into the development of the east."

Wu Zetian also agreed very much.

Heart of the Phantom Sea:

"At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, there were three kingdoms: Cao Cao in the north, Sun Quan in the south, and Liu Bei in the southwest."

"Liu Bei and Sun Quan relied on the natural dangers of geography."

"In the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, the division was more thorough, and the dynasties changed, relying on the geographical natural dangers, east, west, north, south, and blooming in all directions."

"The Sui Dynasty actually consisted of three parts: the Northern Zhou Dynasty in the west, the Northern Qi Dynasty in the east, and the Southern Chen Dynasty in the south."

"Could it be that the regional unification you are talking about means that various forces cannot rely on natural dangers to separate themselves from one side?"

Chen Tong laughed

Chen Tong:

"Not bad!"

"Regional unification does not refer to the establishment of a unified dynasty."

"Instead, he broke down the barriers between the North and the South, and opened up the regional barriers."

"Let the huge Yanhuang become a monolith. It can be said that since Emperor Sui Yang, Yanhuang has never been able to form a situation where the three kingdoms stand together."

"It is also very difficult for the North and the South to confront each other again. This is the last step in completing the great unification, the regional unification."

"From then on, there will be no longer a long-term separatist situation."

"For example, the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties were split for more than 300 years, but the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms were only split for less than 60 years. This is the impact of Emperor Sui Yang's completion of regional unification."

"He accelerated the process from division to unity."

Zhu Di slapped his thigh and suddenly realized that the reason why the north and the south faced each other across the river was because of the existence of the Yangtze River.

Execute the prosperous hero of your ten clans:

"I see. Emperor Sui Yang built the Grand Canal."

"The Grand Canal has been built, directly making it impossible for the north and the south to confront each other, and breaking the barrier between the north and the south."

Chen Tong:

"That's right, it's the Grand Canal!"

"The construction of the Grand Canal connects the north and the south, and the food from the south can be quickly sent to the north, so that the north can survive the disaster year safely, and there will be no peasant uprising due to the disaster."

"The soldiers in the north can also quickly go to the south to suppress the rebellion."

"And the significance of the Grand Canal goes beyond that."

"The completion of the Grand Canal has promoted commercial exchanges between the North and the South, allowing the North and the South, which were originally in conflict, to exchange and trade with each other."

"Let their interests tend to be aligned and their cultures more recognized, so it further promotes the integration of the North and the South and eliminates the differences and barriers caused by regions."

"In this way, the difference between the North and the South becomes smaller, and the greater unity is more recognized, and it is easy to win the hearts of the people."

"Natural dangers are gone, and the hearts of the people can be accepted. From then on, no Central Plains dynasty can rule across the river."

Cao Cao couldn't help but praise, what a god idea.

Friends of wives:

"If Cao Cao had the Grand Canal back then, Sun Quan would have been hammered!"

"This is indeed an unworldly achievement."

"Eliminate the barriers between the north and the south, strengthen the exchanges between the north and the south, and make the unification of Yan and Huang stronger."

Qin Shihuang and others also nodded. Such a large project is indeed beyond the reach of ordinary people. If you think about it, you have to dare to do it!

Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty indeed had great courage and grand layout.

But at this moment, Li Shimin smiled, and finally mentioned the Grand Canal. He had done his homework.

Eternal second:

"Indeed, with the emergence of the Grand Canal, the north and the south cannot be governed across the river."

"However, everyone should be clear that the Grand Canal built by the Sui Dynasty is completely different from the Grand Canals built by the Yuan and Ming dynasties."

"The Grand Canal of later generations is from Beijing to Hangzhou, and it follows a straight line."

"As for the Grand Canal in the Sui Dynasty, it was centered on Luoyang, and it followed the character of a herringbone."

"If you don't believe me, you can check the map."

"The Grand Canal built by Emperor Sui Yang will last for thousands of years, so it will pass."

When Li Shimin said this, the emperors thought for a while, and the news they got from Zhu Di was indeed that after the Yuan Dynasty, the course of the canal was greatly modified.

Human Emperor Xin pinched Daji's nose, with a smile on his face.

Anti-God Pioneer Ancient Emperor:

"Chen Tong, what do you say about this?"

Chen Tong laughed, this is the point of view that those who opposed Emperor Yang of Sui's favorite quoted.

Chen Tong:

"Indeed, there is a big difference between the Grand Canal of the Sui Dynasty and the Grand Canal of later generations. It is shaped like a herringbone, and the heart is in Luoyang."

"But, wouldn't it be easier to make a straight line from north to south?"

"Why did Emperor Sui Yang abduct to Luoyang in the west?"

"Haven't you all considered it?"

"What I want to tell you is that this is exactly the place where Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty was terrible, and it is also the place where the Grand Canal of the Sui Dynasty looked far ahead."
