"The world situation is a bit complicated to explain, and it involves a wide range of aspects. I will explain it to you bit by bit later. Our current combat is actually mainly three types: land, sea, and air. Literally, land, sea, and air, but there are also many virtual wars, such as information warfare. This is also very important. The more you see about future situations, the more you will understand.
Li Hongzhang's decision seems incomprehensible and wrong to us in retrospect, but given the circumstances at the time, his concerns were actually not unreasonable. I will not comment on Li Hongzhang as a person, but I do want to scold two people here, one is Shi Jingtang and the other is Sima Guang.
Please remember these two people. One day I will tell you in detail about the good things they did. They all gave away land to others, and each one was more generous than the other.
clear
Li Hongzhang listened to Zhou Jia's words in a daze and did not speak for a long time.
Zuo Zongtang looked around at his compatriots, and finally looked at the emperor on the dragon throne and knelt down.
"Your Majesty, since I was able to carry the coffin out to reclaim XJ in that world, I have the courage this time too! No matter how difficult it is, I must reclaim XJ! The Qing Dynasty must do the same!"
The sound of kowtows was particularly obvious in the empty hall.
Despite Zhou Jia's assurance, many people still did not dare to take that step to support him. They had been kneeling for too long, and their spines had been broken into pieces. They were not Zuo Zongtang, and they did not have his courage to burn his boats. They all stayed where they were, waiting for the emperor's instructions.
Shi Jingtang and Sima Guang, who were named, naturally looked unhappy. They didn't understand why they were being scolded for what they had done.
Song Dynasty
Zhao Kuangyin was furious when he heard Shi Jingtang's name. He threw the teacup beside him in anger and shouted, "Shi Jingtang!"
The Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun!
He raised his eyes to look at Zhou Jia, wanting to ask him whether he had taken back the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun and whether he had completed the unification.
Sima Guang of the Northern Song Dynasty also immediately received the eager gazes of his compatriots next to him, and Sima Guang stood among them with a red face.
When the banished foodie Su Shi heard Sima Guang's name, he said unhappily, "Sima Niu really deserves to be scolded."
If Sima Niu was in front of him, he would immediately go up and spit at him.
When Yue Fei of the Southern Song Dynasty heard Shi Jingtang's name, he silently looked towards the direction of the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun.
I have the same questions as Zhao Kuangyin.
Can he recover the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun in his lifetime?
He looked towards Zhao Gou in the imperial city with disappointment.
Zhou Jia took several deep breaths to suppress the anger in her heart and continued:
"Okay, let's get back to Princess Wencheng. As mentioned earlier, Songtsen Gampo was the Tibetan king, and he was familiar with Han culture. So in the 15th year of the Zhenguan reign, which was 641 AD, he requested a marriage alliance with the Tang Dynasty. So what about Princess Wencheng?
Princess Wencheng, to be more precise, was not originally a princess. She was just a daughter of the royal family of the Tang Dynasty. Her name is not recorded in history books. She was only given the title of Princess Wencheng because of the marriage with Tubo.
Zhou Jia paused.
"Throughout history, many women did not have their own names, only a title. I don't know what Princess Wencheng was called, including Empress Zhangsun, Empress Ma, and Empress Xu, who were both praised as virtuous empresses. Their names were not recorded.
Their existence in history books is simply as an appendage of the emperor. So I want to ask, emperors, didn't you care deeply about and dote on your empresses? Why is it that not even their names are recorded in history books? Do you really think they are just your appendages?
She spoke very calmly, without any fluctuation in her voice, but the sarcasm in her eyes almost overflowed from the screen.
Tang
Li Shimin's face grew increasingly grim. Although Zhou Jia didn't start scolding him, it was clear that she was extremely resentful of this. It seemed likely that many people in later generations would not understand or support this. Name...
He looked at the historian beside him with a cold gaze, "Why didn't you write the Queen's name in the history books? What on earth did your history books write about?"
The historian lowered his head, his body trembling, "Your Majesty..."
What should they say about this? Since ancient times, women have had a low sense of presence. Who would have nothing better to do than write about a woman's life in such detail?
Oh, except maybe Lu Zhi.
bright
Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di were both embarrassed by what Zhou Jia said.
Empress Ma and Empress Xu tried to persuade her, but Zhou Jia continued on the screen:
"I don't really want to call these women who have made outstanding contributions Princess Wencheng or Empress Zhangsun, but I really don't know how to address them. So, sisters, I'm sorry. If you are willing to tell me your names, I will naturally address you by your names, rather than the identities given to you by others.
I also want to say something to all the girls here: before you become someone's daughter, wife, or mother, you must first be yourself. Love yourself well and don't pin all your hopes on men. It's unrealistic."
The topic had strayed off again, and she forcefully pulled it back.
Princess Wencheng was born in 625 AD. In 640 AD, the 14th year of the Zhenguan reign, she was given the title of Princess Wencheng by Emperor Li Shimin. A year later, she married into the Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture of Tubo. She was only 16 years old at the time, but by the time she arrived in XZ, she was already 19 years old. It took her three years to reach Tibet.
I remember when I was in school, I learned that Songtsen Gampo built a magnificent palace, the Potala Palace, specifically to welcome Princess Wencheng.
