Chapter 237: Uncle, the mud-legged emperor is pretty good (please subscribe!!) "Come just come, who's afraid of you!"

Zhu Yuanzhang was ready to fight with Ouyang Lun.

Ouyang Lun glanced at it lightly and said: "Qin Shihuang eliminated the six countries, unified the Central Plains, and established the first unified dynasty in history. Qin Shihuang pioneered the emperor system, the three official and nine ministers systems, promoted the system of counties and counties, implemented the same track, and the book The same text and practice also unified currency, weights and measures, which had far-reaching influence. The "unification" dynasty model created by Qin Shihuang was inherited and developed by successive dynasties."

"My father-in-law was able to become emperor only because of Qin Shihuang. If his old man hadn't laid the foundation in front of him, would reunification be so easy?"

Zhu Yuanzhang's mouth twitched.

"Moreover, the Qin army has strong fighting power and is extremely brave. History proves it - the soldiers of Shandong were wearing armor to fight. The Qin people donated their armor and clothing to chase the enemy. They took heads on the left and prisoners on the right. The Qin army at that time Known as the Tiger and Wolf Division, the Six Nations were frightened by the news. When the Six Nations were preparing to unite to fight against the Qin soldiers, after seeing the capabilities of the "Tiger and Wolf Division", the joint policy gradually collapsed. Subsequently, the Six Nations were defeated one by one. .”

"The Xiongnu in the north are all warlike, and their fighting power is not a problem if one fights ten, but they are always unable to defeat the Qin soldiers! At the end of the Qin Dynasty, the Xiongnu never set foot in the Central Plains!"

"The Qin army was dressed in black armor and consisted of millions of troops. Their murderous aura made the whole world tremble. It was also the important combat power of the First Emperor to conquer the world."

"The generals of Qin are even more famous, including Wang Jian, Bai Qi, and Meng Tian."

"Is the Ming Army comparable?"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked stunned.

Ouyang Lun continued: "Let's talk about the Han Dynasty. The Han Dynasty not only expanded the territory, but also displayed the glory of the Han people, making "Han" synonymous with strength and bravery. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty counterattacked the Huns, not to resist in the border areas, but to take the initiative Attack and fight thousands of miles into the desert, "The enemy can go, so can I."

"It also allowed the Central Plains ethnic groups to undergo great integration and take pride in the Han people. Otherwise, there would be no way for my father-in-law to restore the Han family."

Zhu Yuanzhang twitched again.

"The lifelong pursuits of famous generals in the past dynasties: Feng Langju Xu, Le Shi Yanran, and Drinking Ma Hanhai were all created by the famous generals of the Han Dynasty. Wei Qing, Huo Qubing, and Dou Xian set examples. Ban Chao was even more fierce, "You can't get tiger cubs without entering the tiger's den. "We have been running the Western Regions for many years. How many of our Ming generals can do it now?"

Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't bear it anymore and shouted: "What's wrong with the Ming Dynasty? We drove away the Yuan people! The Ming army beat the Yuan army like chopping melons and vegetables. Who can Zhang Shicheng or Chen Youliang be able to defeat?"

"Famous generals? Xu Da, Tang and the two of them don't count?"

Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang's anxious look, Ouyang Lun smiled and nodded.

Very good, I like people who are tough-talking! "Come on!"

"Here comes the master!"

There was no need for Ouyang Lun to give orders. Zhou Bao knew very well and brought the bench and tea over.

Ouyang Lun Dama Jindao sat on the bench, picked up the tea and took another sip.

"Uncle, it's not me who said that the Ming Dynasty can't even compare with the Sui and Tang Dynasties, let alone the Qin and Han Dynasties!"

"From a global perspective, China during the Sui and Tang Dynasties should be the most powerful, prosperous, developed and advanced country. In terms of overall strength, no one can compete with the Sui and Tang Dynasties, not even the newly emerged "Umayyad Dynasty" "Not to mention the declining Eastern Roman Empire, our Ming Dynasty is still playing a low-end game against the Northern Yuan Dynasty!"

Zhu Yuanzhang: "Although the Sui Dynasty existed for a short period of time, less than 50 years, its influence was very great, even surpassing that of the Tang Dynasty. The imperial examination system we are familiar with is the contribution of the Sui Dynasty. What does the imperial examination mean? Based on the examination results When it comes to heroes, only children from poor families have the opportunity to change their destiny, and knowledge changes their destiny.

The imperial examination is a "ladder" for people at the bottom to climb up. It is an impact and destruction of aristocracy and clan politics. Doesn't my emperor's father-in-law rely on the imperial examination system to win over talents?If he has the ability, don’t use it! "

Zhu Yuanzhang: "There is also the Grand Canal that connects the north and the south. It still benefits China and is also the contribution of the Sui Dynasty. With the imperial examination and the opening of the Grand Canal, the Sui Dynasty was enough to challenge the Tang Dynasty. Unfortunately, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty was too profligate and exhausted the national power. , was abandoned by Guan Longxungui, and the Sui Dynasty became a "short-lived dynasty", but the Tang Dynasty basically inherited its mantle.

The Tang Dynasty inherited the Sui Dynasty's system, and the Tang Dynasty's institutional construction of the Sui Dynasty was almost development and improvement, with not many , the open and inclusive cultural ethos of the Tang Dynasty was able to absorb the cultural essence from surrounding ethnic groups and foreign countries, making Chinese culture once again full of vitality and vitality, allowing it to continue to develop.

The Tang Dynasty, a very "confident" dynasty, did not reject foreign cultures and spread its own culture to foreign countries, laying the foundation for the formation of the "Confucian Cultural Circle".The Tang Dynasty had such a great influence on the world that the Tang Dynasty became a symbol of China and was remembered by the world. "

"As for military achievements." Ouyang Lun smiled slightly and spoke slowly, "It only counts more than 30 enemies destroyed. Li Jing destroyed the Eastern Turks, Tuyuhun defeated more than 50 enemies in total, Su Dingfang destroyed the Western Turks Helu, Duman, Baekje, Tubo defeated a total of 40 enemies. Li Shimin conquered Goguryeo and defeated 3000 enemies, including Mo Brown reinforcements, beheaded 13, captured 5, and killed more than 10,000 people. Yang Sixu defeated Vietnam's Lingnan three times and wiped out a total of 20+ enemies. He was known as "killing 81 people and 50 Jingguan". After Wang Zhongsi was destroyed, the Turks broke through Tibet and attacked Khitan and wiped out more than 20 enemies. Among them, the Battle of Sanggan River was the The entire [-]-strong Khitan and Xi coalition forces were annihilated. Gao Xianzhi was granted the title of Chang to destroy Xiaobolu and Dabolushi Kingdom, etc., and a total of tens of thousands of Tibetan reinforcements were annihilated."

"Remember this is a foreign war, not a domestic war. Don't use your record against Zhang Shicheng and Chen Youliang as an example."

Zhu Yuanzhang froze on the spot, "I"

He never expected that Ouyang Lun was so familiar with history. After hearing these words, he felt that the Ming Dynasty under his rule was a bit poor.

No!

If he was persuaded by Ouyang Lun like this, where would he put his old face?From now on, Ouyang Lun may lose all face and confidence here, so he must not lose this war of words!

Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang glared at Ouyang Lun, turned to Zhou Bao and said, "Go, I want a bench and tea too!"

"Master, this"

Zhou Bao looked at Ouyang Lun.

Ouyang Lun nodded, "Go get it."

"Yes."

Zhou Bao quickly moved in a bench and a table, with tea, snacks and fruits on the table.

Above Changyuguan, both sides were condescending. Ouyang Lun and Zhu Yuanzhang sat face to face, as if they were having a round of talks.

"In terms of dynasty achievements, our Ming Dynasty has only been in existence for more than ten years. It is indeed incomparable now, but the future is uncertain!" Zhu Yuanzhang said loudly: "But in terms of talents! Hum, there are only dozens of virtuous ministers and generals in the Qin Dynasty, and the founding heroes of the Han Dynasty There are 28 people on the list, the first 24 in Lingyan Pavilion in the Tang Dynasty, and the 36 in the founding of the Ming Dynasty!!"

"These founding virtuous ministers and famous generals are the most numerous in our Ming Dynasty!"

"Aren't Chang Yuchun, Xu Da, Tang and those who are good at fighting? They are no worse than Wang Jian, Bai Qi, Han Xin, Fan Kuai, Li Jing, Qin Qiong, etc.!"

"In terms of civil servants, our Ming Dynasty also has Liu Bowen and Li Shanchang, who are completely comparable to Li Si, Zhang Liang, and Changsun Wuji!!" "Now the Central Plains belongs to our Ming Dynasty, and has been passed down for thousands of generations. The achievements achieved will never be compared to those of the Qin, Han, and Tang Dynasties. Three dynasties!"

pop-

After hearing what Zhu Yuanzhang said, Ouyang Lun clapped with a smile.

"I have long heard that my queen's mother-in-law is familiar with history books. Today I see that my uncle knows so much about history. It seems that this is true!"

"But, uncle, Kaiping King Chang Yuchun is indeed very fierce, otherwise he wouldn't have the nickname Chang Shiwan. It's a pity that he died young. As for Uncle Tang and Uncle Xu, they are somewhat inferior in terms of their records. , I can only say that they have the potential to become famous players in history, but they still need more opportunities to support them!"

"Liu Bowen did have something, but it's a pity that he died. He only left you with Li Shanchang. This old Prime Minister Li is very qualified to be a counselor, even excellent, but if he and Li Si, Zhang Liang, and Changsun are incomparable, Compared with Ji, he is still several levels behind! Without Li Si’s talent and learning, without Zhang Liang’s knowledge of people, and without Changsun Wuji’s calculations, otherwise my father-in-law, the emperor, would not have been able to succeed with Li Shanchang as a counselor. Try every means to bring Liu Bowen here."

"Looking at the entire Ming Dynasty now, the famous officials are withering away, and as for the famous generals." Ouyang Lun glanced at Tang He and Xu Da and smiled slightly, "Who can resist the banner?"

"Of course it's Xu Da and Tang He!" Zhu Yuanzhang said solemnly.

"They are both older, what else?" Ouyang Lun asked.

"Lanyu!" Zhu Yuanzhang continued: "He is younger than Xu Da and Tang He. He is very talented in leading troops and has a natural fighting spirit. He will definitely become the strongest general in the Ming Dynasty in the future!"

Ouyang Lun shook his head, "If Lan Yu is allowed to be such an arrogant and reckless person to become the strongest general of the Ming Dynasty, I think it will be a tragedy for the Ming Dynasty!"

"Don't compare Lan Yu with Zhang Han, Huo Qubing, and Xue Rengui. Apart from being ruthless and lucky on the battlefield, Lan Yu is absolutely useless!"

"Even if there will be some achievements in the future, these achievements will make him more arrogant and arrogant. The only thing that will greet him in the end is death. Not to mention opening up territory for the Ming Dynasty, it will even bring great disasters to the Ming Dynasty! "

"Under such circumstances, even if we put aside other achievements and only talk about the founding of the country, the Ming Dynasty still cannot be compared with the Qin, Han, Tang and Three Dynasties!"

"Of course, this gap will not only appear in the hands of civil servants and generals, but also in the hands of emperors in all dynasties. As the saying goes, a raging army means a raging nest of generals! If there is a gap in the emperor's level, the final effect will naturally not be very good! "

Zhu Yuanzhang stared at Ouyang Lun, "Do you mean that the Ming Emperor is not as good as the previous dynasty?"

Ouyang Lun spread his hands, "Isn't this obvious?"

"Of course I have to admit that my father-in-law, the emperor, is the only one in the world who started with a bowl and won with a mud leg. After all, the first emperor was from the Qin royal family at the beginning. Tang Taizong Li Shimin came from a noble family. Liu Bang, the great ancestor of the Han Dynasty, was a little worse, but he was still the pavilion chief at least. .”

"So the methods used are becoming more and more brutal."

"Uncle, do you think I'm right?"

Zhu Yuanzhang was silent and his face was ashen.

From a personal perspective, he naturally didn't think Ouyang Lun was right, but from a rational perspective, although his words were a bit unpleasant, there was nothing wrong with them.

You are right, don't say it again next time.

Tang He and Xu Da naturally listened to their conversation, looked at each other at the same time, and gathered together.

"We are not considered old, right? There are many older famous generals in history, but Lian Po, Huang Zhong, and Li Jing are not!"

"that is!"

As the founding general of the Ming Dynasty, he had served in the army for half his life and fought in no less than a hundred battles, large and small. Naturally, he did not want to accept the fact that he was old.

As he said that, Tang He and Xu Da looked at the grassland outside the Great Wall.

Feng Langju Xu, Le Shi Yanran, Yin Ma Hanhai. Huo Qubing can, they can too! Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang fall into silence and looking a little lonely, Ouyang Lun stood up on his own initiative, came to Zhu Yuanzhang, patted Zhu Yuanzhang's shoulder gently, and comforted him, "Uncle, we are just drinking tea and chatting today, you don't have to do this. Substitute!”

"To put it bluntly, whether it is developing the common people or dealing with the grassland people, these are things that my emperor father-in-law has to think about. We are just employees who work and fish. If you are interested, just chat a few words. Don't take it too seriously."

"Although our Ming Dynasty cannot compare with the Qin, Han, Tang and Three Dynasties in many aspects, and is even worse than the Song Dynasty economically, this does not prevent our Ming Dynasty from having its own bright spots. At least the emperor is quite tough and does not compromise with officials. The imperial power is highly concentrated, and the most important thing is that they will not make peace or pay tribute, and they will fight whenever they want!"

"A character like Daming's has also become the spiritual background of the entire Chinese civilization!"

After hearing what Ouyang Lun said, Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned again, and then asked: "Are you praising or mocking?"

"Of course I'm bragging!"

Ouyang Lun nodded firmly.

"Also, didn't you just say that? Our Ming Dynasty has only been established for more than ten years. There will be many emperors in the future. They will also make their due contributions. Maybe they will really surpass the previous dynasty in the future! "

"Don't be discouraged!"

"Yes." Zhu Yuanzhang nodded. After hearing what Ouyang Lun said, he felt much better.

Wait, in addition to Liu Bowen, Li Shanchang, Xu Da, Tang and other virtuous ministers and generals, there is another person in the Ming Dynasty! That's Ouyang Lun! The development of Kaiping County, Yong'an Prefecture, and now the entire Beizhili is everyone's eyes. It even doubled the tax revenue of the Ming Dynasty. In addition, the Great Wall is far beyond the previous dynasty! !

And Ouyang Lun is still so young, not much older than Huo Qubing.

Maybe he will be the future of Ming Dynasty! !

Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Ouyang Lun and his eyes became more and more uncomfortable.

His eyes glowed, as if he had seen a world-class treasure. Upon seeing this, Ouyang Lun quickly took a few steps back, "Uncle, what's wrong with you?"
