Chapter 81

"Forcing Li Li Shimin to sign a treaty beneath the city walls."

"The entire Tang dynasty emptied its treasuries to bribe the Tujue!"

"A treaty beneath the city walls—what an unparalleled humiliation!"

"Thus, in the second year of Zhenguan, Li Jing settled the Tujue on a snowy night! A single battle avenged the past shame!"

Su Qiao watched silently as Jiang Huan spoke loudly.

"Does Commander Jiang know when the next unparalleled humiliation for the Han people of the world will be?"

The moment the words fell.

Jiang Huan immediately rose from his stool on his own.

"How could I not know!"

"Naturally, it is the Humiliation of Jingkang!"

The Humiliation of Jingkang!

This is an unparalleled humiliation carved into the bones of all Han people in the world!

To a certain extent.

It completely reversed the historical trajectory of Han cultural development.

Since the Song dynasty, the obsession of Han people in the world with 'integrity' has reached a pathological degree.

Su Qiao nodded slightly.

"It is indeed the Humiliation of Jingkang!"

"How weak were the Two Song dynasties? Recruiting refugees to form the Imperial Guard, using recruitment instead of relief, making this state policy!"

"And the result?"

"After the Humiliation of Jingkang, Yue Yue Wumu was forcibly driven out!"

"One hundred thousand Yue Family Army, eight thousand Beiwei Army, forcibly fought from the Yangtze River all the way to Huanglong Prefecture!"

"Even the Son of Heaven was captured by others."

"Did the soldiers, morale, and public sentiment not collapse?"

"They collapsed!"

"But precisely because morale, army spirit, and public sentiment were all shattered."

"That is why there was Yue Yue Wumu! That is why there was the Yue Family Army!"

Upon hearing these words.

Zhu Yuanzhang in the adjacent prison cell's eyes instantly lit up.

Even Jiang Huan stared at Su Qiao in shock and asked.

"From the very beginning, my lord Su wanted to recreate the Humiliation of Jingkang and force the descendants of Great Ming?"

Su Qiao nodded slightly.

"Yes!"

"If the Han people do not know shame, knowing shame makes them invincible!"

What Jiang Huan did not know was that the same thing played out several times after the Hongwu reign.

...... 0

From the Oirat students to the Century of Humiliation.

The Han people will absolutely weaken.

Because a nation has no constant strength, and water has no constant flow!

But the Han people must absolutely not feel shame.

Because this is the most terrifying thing on this planet.

Su Qiao looked at Jiang Huan with determination and shouted loudly.

"If Commander Jiang does not believe, Su Mou has no way."

"But Su Mou can place a hand on his chest and tell Commander Jiang."

"Those Tatars outside the pass, when they behead one Great Ming vassal king, they will celebrate with joy!"

"The army spirit and morale of our Great Ming will scatter!"

"When they behead two vassal kings, they will cheer and jump for joy, thinking they are about to be carried into Wumiao by the blood of the Zhu family!"

"But when they reach the twenty-eighth king, the twenty-ninth king, the thirtieth king."

"Just watch whether they can still laugh!"

"No one knows the terrifying nature of the Han people better than the Tatars."

"Just watch how the Han people of the world will treat him!"

"Just watch how the Han soldiers and brave men under his command will act!"

"Great Ming is not the Two Song dynasties."

"Throughout the entire Song dynasty, they never obtained the Sixteen Prefectures of Yan and Yun, nor the land for raising horses!"

"Our Great Ming is completely different!"

"Forcibly driving out a Yue Yue Wumu who possessed Shanhai Pass and over one hundred thousand warhorses."

"I do not believe those Tatars can cross the Great Wall even half a step!"

Having spoken.

Su Qiao lifted his wine gourd, drank the wine inside in one gulp, and then, full and satisfied, lay on the table and fell into a deep sleep.

He did not notice at all that the Jiang Huan before him had already stood frozen in place.

The entire Imperial Prison fell into a dead silence.

76, the bloody battle at Xingshan!

Next to the imperial prison.

Zhu Yuanzhang sat in the adjacent cell, his face ashen.

Everyone around seemed as if a pause button had been pressed.

After a long while.

Zhu Yuanzhang finally looked at the chat group before him and sent a message on his own.

Emperor Taizu Gao:

"The battle in Liaoxi is lost; do not delay, report as soon as you obtain the news."

Emperor Sizong Lie:

"Your son obeys the decree."

Zhu Yuanzhang, having left the imperial prison, seemed to have aged over a decade in a single night.

He walked into the Qianqing Palace with unsteady steps.

Fu Youde and others knelt silently before Zhu Yuanzhang.

Just as the Huaixi generals thought Old Zhu would erupt in fury as in times past.

they saw Zhu Yuanzhang wave his hand and say,

"All of you return; let me be alone for a while..."

The moment his words ended.

everyone present first froze in surprise.

Then, each as if granted a great reprieve, quietly withdrew from the Qianqing Palace.

In the vast Qianqing Palace.

only Zhu Yuanzhang remained.

Watching Zhu Youjian in another timeline report on the situation of the Liaoxi battle.

"The Jianzhou Jurchens breached the dam of the Xiaoling River."

"The roads are muddy and impassable."

"Heavy snow in Liaoxi."

Zhu Yuanzhang, who had fought countless battles and crawled out of piles of corpses, already knew upon seeing these few memorials to the throne.

This battle, the Ming army had already lost.

The Long Zilongsun of the Zhu family would die fighting on the battlefield.

The Damingde Sect of the Great Ming, from after this battle, would have every family wearing mourning.
