I watched Er Chuang’s short video, and everything went numb!

【Since then, Wang Xuance has completed the diplomatic feat of"one man destroying a country"】

"Awesome! here you go!"

"Wang Xuance: Now I can return to Chang'an in an upright manner."

"color! Promote national prestige!"

"Aronashun's family is now in order!"

"Good guy, he really led a group of mercenaries to destroy the country."

"Total War: Envoy of the Tang Dynasty!"

"Everyone is really capable of fighting, and this Jiang Shiren is also very fierce."

"Ahem, so I think I can mention that since ancient times, you know"

"That's right, that's right, since ancient times...hehe"

"This is"friendly" diplomacy, hehe"

"Nothing wrong, diplomacy = diplomatic war"

"This can’t be considered as one person destroying a country, right? The soldiers you borrow are also soldiers."

"It has to be so awesome, right? Didn't he get the soldiers somehow?"

"It's more reliable to say that it was he and Jiang Shiren who destroyed the country."

【In May of the 22nd year of Zhenguan, Wang Xuance sent the captured Alonashun, his concubines, and others, as well as 12,000 captive men and women, and more than 20,000 cattle and horses to Chang'an as prisoners.】

【If it were not recorded in history books, it would be hard for me to believe how he did it. Bringing so many people back to Chang'an from Tianzhu can only be said to have amazing management capabilities.】

"Li Er: I asked you to go on a visit, but who asked you to destroy the country?"

"Li Shimin: How do I remember that the person I sent out was a civilian official?"

【Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin, was overjoyed and granted Wang Xuance the rank of fifth-grade Chaosan doctor.】

"Why is it only fifth grade? Is this one person destroying a country? It seems like I just upgraded to a level?"

"Not only that, Wang Xuance’s previous level was not very high, he had at least been promoted by two levels."

"It’s actually not that low from the fifth level."

【There are very few records about Wang Xuance in later history books. It may be because he was only in the fifth rank and his official position was not high. It may also be because Wang Xuance never made any big achievements in the future.】

"It is enough to be able to do such a big thing in a lifetime"

"Perhaps in the eyes of historians at the time, this was indeed not a big deal."

"Famous generals in the early Tang Dynasty: What? Is it unusual to destroy a country? Is it necessary to talk too much?"

"Perhaps in the eyes of the Tang Dynasty at that time, Tianzhu was just a country that was not worth mentioning, so what Wang Xuance did was not worthy of attention."

"……"

Great Qin plane

"Although this man was a civil servant, he was also a strong and brave man. Qin

Shihuang commented on Wang Xuance.

Apart from him, many ancient people from other dynasties before the Tang Dynasty also praised Wang Xuance.

At this time, the giant screen in the sky continued to slide.

A new video appeared.

【Where was the most suitable place for separatist rule in ancient China? Where is the most suitable base to dominate the world? 】

As soon as this video title appeared, many ancient people in the past dynasties immediately became energetic and stared at the giant screen high in the sky.

Especially in those troubled times at the end of the dynasty, when all the heroes came together, the leaders of all the forces looked at it even more intently.

These two issues have strong strategic guiding significance for their strategy of striving for hegemony in troubled times.

【The answer to this first question can actually be easily found by induction. Just look at where the number of separatist regimes is highest.】

【After statistics, the answer is Shu and Shanxi】

【If the Shu region started from the ancient Shu state when Sima of the Qin State invaded Shu, to the Ming Xia regime established in the mountain city at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, it had been divided 13 times in total.】

"As expected"

"The transportation environment of Shu in ancient times was too bad and it was very suitable for separatism, but it was also difficult to develop."

"Remote mountainous areas are definitely the most suitable for separatist rule"

【Shanxi was divided 9 times from Jin in the Spring and Autumn Period to Yan Dashuai in the Republic of China.】

"Millet in Shanxi supports people"

"If Marshal Yan is included in Shanxi, Marshal Liu should also be included in Shu. The Shu region was divided 14 times in total."

【The logic that Shu and Shanxi are suitable for separatist rule is the same, both because of the geographical environment.】

【Let’s talk about the land of Shu first. It is surrounded by mountains. The road to Shu is difficult, and it is difficult to reach the sky. Then there is a large piece of the land of heaven in the middle.】

【This terrain was born to be used for separatist rule.】

"The Land of Abundance is the Chengdu Plain"

"That's true. The location is perfect."

"Yes, Shu is the first choice for separatist rule. Although it cannot compete for world hegemony, it can wait for the situation in the world to be decided and surrender voluntarily. As long as it is willing to surrender, the outcome will generally be pretty good."

"Bashu Xichuan, the granary of the world"

"Shu: Advantages: easy to defend but difficult to attack; Disadvantages: easy to defend but difficult to attack"

"It is impossible for a unified dynasty to be born in Sichuan and Shu, because the geographical restrictions are too great"

【Then look at Shanxi. The terrain is not as"clean and tidy" as that of Shu, but overall it still conforms to the characteristics of"surrounded by a large number of grain-producing areas"】

【To the south, Wangwu Mountain, Zhongtiao Mountain, and the Yellow River can prevent soldiers from the Central Plains from entering.】

【On the right is the Taihang Mountains, and the North China soldiers in Youji area cannot enter.】

【On the left is Luliang Mountain and the Yellow River. It is also difficult to come from the direction of Shaanxi.】

【Finally, to the north, build a Great Wall along the Yinshan Mountains, block the nomadic cavalry, and work together】

【Mountains and rivers are dangerous on three sides, and the Great Wall is difficult to cross on one side. Shanxi in the middle is basically stable.】

【In the interior, Shanxi has many rivers and plains, with water and grain-producing areas. It is very suitable for developing the population and then launching an army. This is the perfect place for separatist rule.】

"Advantage is mine"

"The ancient separatist Shanxi went to Yanmen Pass and did not need the Great Wall."

"The most important thing is that there are salt ponds in Shanxi. You can even handle the salt yourself."

"Stop talking, Shanxi people will be scared after hearing this"

"So is this the reason why Shanxi has the most preserved ancient buildings?"

"We can be self-sufficient in salt, iron and food. It’s perfect for separatism. It’s the chosen place."

【The second question is, where is the most suitable base camp for unifying the world?】

【Let’s use the inductive method first and see where the initial headquarters of each unified dynasty was.】

【Qin, from Guanzhong】

【Han, also Guanzhong】

【Jin succeeded Cao Wei, and Cao Wei's initial base was Shandong and Henan.】

【Sui Dynasty, inherited from Northern Zhou Dynasty, base camp in Guanzhong】

【Tang, Guanzhong】

【Northern Song Dynasty, Henan】

【Yuan Dynasty, Mongolian Plateau】

【Ming Dynasty, Jianghuai generation】

【Qing Dynasty, Northeast China】

"The Han Dynasty was divided into two dynasties, and the Eastern Han Dynasty was not Guanzhong"

"Tang Qi's family should be in Shanxi, right?"

"Yuan should be North China"

【Statistics along the way show that the land of Guanzhong appears most frequently. Among the nine unified dynasties, four of them started in Guanzhong.】

【So, the answer is obvious】

【In terms of probability, if you wanted to dominate the world in the troubled times of ancient China, putting your base camp in Guanzhong would have the best chance of winning.】

"There is something wrong with this kind of statistics. It seems to be that the reverse effect is the cause. It is similar to carving a boat to seek a sword."

"The premise for Guanzhong to unify the world is that Shanxi has no power, otherwise it will easily be cut off."

"This is not quite right. We must consider that climate change has led to changes in Guanzhong's environment. After the Tang Dynasty, Guanzhong was no longer suitable as a core area."

"The correct answer is that before the Tang Dynasty, you could focus on Guanzhong, but after the Tang Dynasty, you should focus on Hebei."

"After the Song Dynasty, the center of gravity of the world gradually moved southward."

"Before the Song Dynasty, only Guanzhong and Hedong could compete for supremacy; after the Song Dynasty, only Jiangnan and Liaodong"

"The best combination is Guanzhong as the main one and Shu as the auxiliary. Qin, Han and Tang all conquered the world in this way."

"I think Huguang is also quite suitable. Han Guangwu started his army from Hubei."

"Hubei is not suitable. It is the land of the Four War and the southern version of the Central Plains. It is too difficult."

"……"

In the troubled planes of the past dynasties, the leaders of different forces and their advisers stared closely at the giant screen, analyzing quickly in their minds.

Later generations had different opinions, but they made the advantages and disadvantages of each place very clear. They could make choices based on this information and their own specific circumstances.
