If the Tang Empire won, it would say to its opponents: "You damn well behave yourself in the future, or be careful that I wipe out your entire clan. Pay tribute obediently every year!"
<...Of course, there was no America in that era. Even the country that would later become America's mother, Gay Country, was still playing in the mud, and the whole of Europe was hopelessly infatuated with God.
The "America" that Zhao Huan mentioned was something he just made up on his own.
After meeting Xu Churen and Shen Lang, Zhao Huan, at Shi Ziming's invitation, took Li Gang and Zhong Shidao with him to the Military Academy.
The first military academy of the Song Dynasty stood majestically on the banks of the Bian River.
The May breeze ripples across the Bian River, carrying the sweet scent of water plants and causing red banners to flutter along the riverbank.
The BMW sped through the streets of Tokyo. Zhao Huan glanced out from time to time. The city was bustling with people and vehicles, busier than ever before.
In ancient times, especially in the capital, the height of all buildings was restricted, and no building was allowed to exceed the height of the imperial palace.
Since the emperor abolished the height restriction order, tall buildings have begun to rise in the city.
The imperial court is undertaking a massive construction project in Tokyo, and has even cleared out a large vacant lot in the north of the city in order to rebuild the imperial palace!
Through the curtains, Zhao Huan saw a man in his forties walking down the street with a smile on his face, chatting and laughing with a few friends.
They were probably all recruited by private caravans to work on the construction site.
In the past, when corvée labor was heavy, their labor was free. They gave up their farm work to work for the imperial court and government. After a few months, their children might starve to death.
But things are different now; the imperial court is giving money!
Turning his gaze away, Zhao Huan felt a sense of relief.
Two generations later, when education levels have caught up and the empire's economic structure has matured, their descendants will have many highly educated individuals who will become the empire's elite.
At this moment, Zhao Huan's mood can be described as "riding high on the spring breeze, seeing all the flowers of the capital in a single day."
The emperor was in high spirits, and under his leadership, the Song Dynasty showed signs of becoming an unprecedented empire.
The atmosphere in Tokyo also changed rapidly. The current emperor pursued grandeur and magnificence in many things, and all newly built buildings had a spacious layout, revealing a sense of grandeur.
From a distance, the rising buildings stand out against the azure sky, like a sky city in the South Heavenly Gate!
When Zhao Huan arrived at the military academy, Zhong Shidao, Li Gang, and Shi Ziming were already waiting there for a long time.
Zhao Huan alighted from the imperial carriage, and everyone bowed in respect.
"No need for formalities."
He looked up and saw that the military academy's buildings were layered, with upturned eaves like an eagle spreading its wings, and long corridors winding like a dragon lying down.
In the open space at the very front, there is a stone statue of Sun Tzu, the strategist.
Sun Tzu gazed into the distance, towards the direction conquered by the empire's military might.
Shi Ziming said, "The academy has been completed. Please, Your Majesty, bestow a name upon it."
Zhao Huan thought for a moment and said, "How about we call it National Wuhan University?"
Shi Ziming was slightly taken aback, but immediately understood the emperor's meaning.
Learn from Emperor Wu of Han in establishing the nation!
At this time, there was no such thing as Wuhan. Wuhan was called Ezhou and was under the jurisdiction of Jiangling Prefecture.
In orthodox history, Yue Fei stationed his troops in Ezhou when he marched north to resist the Jin dynasty. Later, Yue Fei was even enfeoffed as the Prince of E.
Among the universities of later generations, Zhao Huan felt that the name National Wuhan University was the best, as it also carried the meaning of national self-strengthening in times of crisis.
Whether in times of war and chaos or in times of peace and prosperity, a nation must never forget the martial spirit inherent in its bones.
Although Liu Che had squandered almost all the savings accumulated by three generations, he still managed to build the glorious Han Dynasty.
For the first time, the orthodox Chinese nation was formed as a unified ethnic group called the Han!
Before the Han Dynasty, there was no such thing as the Han ethnic group.
The Tang people were also called Han people, the Song people were also called Han people, and the Ming people were also called Han people. The Qing dynasty kept using the false slogan that "Han people are one family".
The Han people have endured for two thousand years without decline, and even in later generations, the glorious military achievements of that emperor from two thousand years ago are still imprinted in the veins of the nation.
May the Han Dynasty live as long as the heavens and shine as brightly as the sun and moon!
The more the Confucian scholars of the Song Dynasty disliked Emperor Wu of Han, the more Zhao Huan wanted everyone to turn the pages of the magnificent history of the Han Dynasty and return with him to the heroic spirit of the lone smoke rising from the desert more than a thousand years ago, and the Marquis of Champion sealing the wolf's lair.
Li Gang and Zhong Shidao naturally knew the meaning behind the emperor choosing this name.
One was the Privy Councilor, and the other was the Marshal of the Central Army. They were in charge of military affairs, so they naturally had no objections to the emperor's plan to promote military achievements and restore order to the country.
The crowd exclaimed in unison, "Your Majesty is wise!"
Zhao Huan then led everyone into the National Wuhan University.
Zhao Huan said, "In the first phase, the best officers from each major war zone will be selected regularly to study at National Wuhan University, where Marshal Zhong will personally teach them! By the way, Han Gonglian's Academy of Sciences also needs to send people. All newly promoted officers must master engineering. For officers who are not proficient, we need to assign proficient ones to assist them! In addition, the natural sciences I mentioned are also one of the compulsory courses for officers! Shi Ziming, you make the specific arrangements for them! The Privy Council, the Central Government, and the Academy of Sciences should all cooperate well with Ziming!"
"yes!"
"Li Gang!"
"Your subject is here!"
"How are my firearms battalion preparations going?"
"Your Majesty, the organization and registration of the firearms battalion have been completed, and all requirements have been submitted to the Academy of Sciences and the Ordnance Bureau."
Zhao Huan nodded and said, "General Zhong, you must find me the commander of the firearms battalion as soon as possible!"
"Your Majesty, rest assured, I have already instructed the major war zones to select candidates from within the military!"
Zhao Huan walked swiftly, his blue robes fluttering in the spring breeze.
He walked up to the stone statue of the Marquis of Champion, Huo Qubing, riding a warhorse, his figure graceful and spirited!
