Spoiling History: Starting from the Three Kingdoms

It is no wonder that Emperor Ming was confused.

Science, technology, mathematics, era, innovation, popularization, and many other words are quite obscure. It is not difficult to guess the meaning by thinking about the meaning of the words, but Emperor Ming was still a little flustered when a lot of such obscure words were poured over him.

Not to mention that there are also nouns such as arithmetic series and axle frame warping that are still very confusing even after thinking about them, which is even more overwhelming.

Therefore, in the end, Emperor Ming noticed the last sentence among the words that floated by. After all, the meaning of retreat is very intuitive, so he shouted:

"What a pity for our Ming Dynasty!"

As a result, Empress Ma raised her eyebrows and slapped the table impatiently:

"Keep your voice down!"

"If you have the leisure time, why not go get a pen and paper to write something down."

Although he was annoyed, he was intimidated by the queen's prestige and went to get a pen and paper while protesting in a low voice.

Immediately, she was puzzled:

"Why don't you call one or two maids to write for me?"

Empress Ma didn't even turn her head, but just lowered her head and wrote down as many unfamiliar words as possible:

"At first, I didn't know whether it was a blessing or a curse. If it was a curse, how could I implicate innocent people?"

The emperor was silent. Now everyone knew that the queen of the Ming Dynasty was kind.

When the world was pacified, the solitary defender of Hezhou could comfort his family and decide to hold on. Later, after entering Yingtian Prefecture, he could sew clothes and shoes for the soldiers.

Chen Youliang had a strong army and could give all the gold and silk to reward the soldiers. In comparison, now I...

With a sigh, the emperor also wrote down the words that would be criticized by future generations.

However, this slightly worried attitude also caused Empress Ma to apologize:

"Among all the words, there may be some words about governing the country."

"Write it down now. If you don't understand, you can ask the officials and scholars, and ask the Tang Taizong and Huan Hou who seem to have watched it for a long time."

"But if you don't write it down and forget it, it will be too late to regret it."

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't point out the complicated thoughts, but just nodded and agreed, planning to ask later.

[Then still follow the convention and talk about it briefly near the end.

Another interesting thing during the Song Dynasty was the Sino-Japanese relationship, which was relatively simple compared to other dynasties.

During the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, Zhu Wen canonized Qian Liu as the ruler of Wuyue, officially established the country and made Hangzhou the capital.

Qian Liu's Wuyue Kingdom also had southern characteristics: making money!

Taking advantage of the port and shipbuilding, the Wuyue Kingdom's trade routes at that time extended from the Bohai Sea to the South Sea. Khitan, Goryeo, the South Sea countries and Arabs were all Wuyue's customers.

Although Japan was in a closed-door state at that time and prohibited ships from going out to sea, it had no right to govern outsiders. In addition, the Japanese nobles had been thirsty for Chinese products since the Tang Dynasty. Therefore, although there was no official contact, there were many ships going to Japan to do business.

As long as spices, ceramics, brocade, dyes, and medicines could be taken to Japan, they could get the gold sand paid by the other party. After all, Japan had nothing else, but gold and silver were really enough.

At that time, Sado Gold Island was already famous among the Japanese people. There was a rumor that "the streams were full of gold", and there was an endless stream of people from Japan going north to pan for gold.

Here, I would like to mention the scale of this gold island. From the official mining in the Japanese shogunate era to its closure, it lasted for 400 years, and produced 78 tons of gold and 2,330 tons of silver. In comparison, during the Ming Dynasty, the official record of the gold production of the entire Ming Dynasty was 40,000 taels, about one and a half tons. As for the three major silver mountains, I will not go into details. The richness of gold and silver in the archipelago is evident.

This state of trade continued until the Song Dynasty. Zhao Da, who founded the Song Dynasty, was busy with people's livelihood and did not think about Japan. However, as the trade between the two sides progressed steadily, the news of the end of the chaos in China was also reported back to Japan. In the end, the people could not hold back. In 983, Shang Ran, a monk from Todaiji Temple in Japan, entered the Song Dynasty through the trade route and met Zhao Er. The two sides had a friendly conversation, and Zhao Er finally granted him purple clothes and treated him well.

The first political exchange between the two sides took place during the reign of Emperor Shenzong. At that time, there was a drought in Bianjing and the monks prayed for rain to no avail. So someone suggested that the Japanese monks try. It happened that the weather changed and it rained. The overjoyed Emperor Shenzong gave the monks many rewards and wrote a letter to the then Japanese king.

This was normal, but soon the Japanese court took the word "return gift" in the letter seriously. After discussing for five years, they finally decided to reply in the name of Dazaifu and rejected the position of returning gifts in action.

In fact, to put it bluntly, they felt that the Tang Dynasty was destroyed and the Song Dynasty was defeated. Now I am in the East China Sea again.

It's just that Japan was really flirting with the blind at that time. After all, it took a long time for the letters between the two sides to go back and forth. In addition, after five years of discussion, most of the Song Dynasty didn't understand what happened. In addition, the Northern Song Dynasty was rich at that time and didn't care about this reward.

The Northern Song Dynasty was in this state of entanglement. It was not until Emperor Huizong of Song wrote a letter to Japan asking it to "serve the emperor with its rare products" that the Japanese court's self-esteem was finally touched.

After three years of intense discussion, Japan decided to officially sever diplomatic ties and only accept gifts but not reply to letters.

In addition to Emperor Huizong's letter, there was another incident that affected Japan's attitude towards the Song Dynasty and the political ecology of Japan at that time.

After the Treaty of Chanyuan, the war between Song and Liao ended, and Liao was able to free up its hands to deal with the remnants of Bohai in the north.

After Yelu Abaoji, the founder of Liao, destroyed Bohai, Liao tried to establish Dongdan and let Khitan be king, but the remnants of Bohai were unwilling to accept this and established Ding'an, Xingliao, and Yuan to resist fiercely.

However, after Liao was free, the remnants of Bohai in Liaodong were quickly wiped out by Liao. The remnants of Bohai were divided into four groups. One million people were moved to the interior of Liao and integrated into the Han nationality. About 300,000 people went to Goryeo and integrated into the Korean nationality. A small number of people sailed south to Song, and a considerable number chose to move to the Jurchen tribes, which also had fishing and hunting customs.

As Liao expanded its borders in Liaodong, the Jurchens during this period were unable to fight against the Khitans, and most of them chose to submit to the rule of Liao. However, some Jurchens chose to flee the rule of Liao by sea to the east after accepting the remnants of Bohai and digesting their shipbuilding and navigation technology.

In 1019, this group of Jurchens robbed Goryeo's ships and population along the way, and finally led a whole division to attack Tsushima Island. After replenishing supplies here for half a month, about 3,000 people drove more than 50 large ships and hundreds of small boats and officially attacked Japan.

Pirates basically burn, kill and plunder, but they also have the characteristic of being weak in succession.

After two consecutive successes, they finally had to retreat in the face of the strict vigilance of the coast of Kyushu Island. On the way back, the pirates were ambushed by the Goryeo Navy and destroyed.

According to later Korean historical records, the main force of this group of pirates should be the "Changbai Mountain Jurchen" and "Pulu Maoduo Jurchen" living in the Changbai Mountain area and along the Songhua River.

Japan recorded it as "Dao Yi invaded." 】

In Ganlu Hall, Li Shimin touched his chin and felt that his luck today was really good:

"Write it down and send it to Denglai as soon as possible!"
