The viewers in the livestream were all shocked that Wang Xuance, a small envoy, had really borrowed troops and destroyed India!
One had to know that those were soldiers and horses, not ordinary people!
Although there weren't many of them, there were only seven to eight thousand of them.
However, he had lent it to an envoy so easily.
Just from this sentence, one could see the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty at that time.
If they didn't have the strength to intimidate the surrounding foreign countries, would the other countries borrow troops?
It was definitely impossible.
And the fact that he could use the soldiers he borrowed to dominate a country showed his military talent.
The audience, who were shocked beyond words, listened quietly to the lecture on the podium.
"Wang Xuance and his deputy Jiang Shiren led the Tubo and Napoluo armies to attack Chaling and Luocheng in Zhongtian Zhu.”
"After three days of fighting, we have conquered two cities, beheaded more than three thousand enemies, and drowned about ten thousand enemies.”
" Aronashun fled, gathered his scattered soldiers, and borrowed twenty thousand soldiers from the King of Eastern India. They fought again, and Wang Xuance captured Aronashun and killed thousands of enemies.”
"Captured 12,000 concubines and princes, 30,000 livestock, and 580 cities surrendered.”
" Wang Xuance's army was unstoppable and shocked the entire India.”
"It scared the East Indian King, Shijiumo, into sending 30,000 cattle and horses to the army. He also sent all kinds of treasures and was willing to pay tribute.”
"The Jiamailu Kingdom offered a foreign object and a map, requesting for my statue.”
"In the fifth month of the twenty-second year of Zhenguan, Wang Xuance sent the captured Aronashun, his wife, his sons, and tens of thousands of cattle and horses to Chang 'an to present the prisoners.”
"From then on, throughout the Tang Dynasty, the surrounding foreign countries did not dare to have any disloyalty. They always knew that there was a mysterious and powerful ancient country in the east!”
" Although there are no systematic historical records of our neighbor, A'san, you can still find it in the Buddhist scriptures and commandments of the eight spiritual towers. At that time, Wang Xuance was hailed by the Indian people as the king who was the demon king of Anayuga Dodayetiya who had descended to the mortal world to punish them.”
As Jiang Yuan's voice fell, the surroundings became silent.
At this moment, whether it was the audience watching the live broadcast or the staff of the live program team, they were all shocked.
In less than a month, 8,000 soldiers had swept through Central India.
The other neighboring countries were terrified and immediately offered treasures and tributes.
How could this not be shocking?
"Hiss…It's just an envoy, and he destroyed Central India?”
"This is a f * cking god! He was just a civil official, yet he had led his troops to destroy a small country.”
"F * ck! Although it sounded like they were borrowing soldiers to fight, in fact, only Wang Xuance and Wang Xuance were from the Tang Empire among the thousands of soldiers. It was not an exaggeration to say that they could destroy a country by themselves.”
"Damn it, I used to go on a business trip to A'san. I asked them about their ancient history and then told me the story of King Jieri. Later, I mentioned the story of Anayuga Daddaya borrowing troops from neighboring countries to punish them.”
“……”
Franklin's face was livid.
Not only did Jiang Yuan mention this allusion, but he also cited Buddhist scriptures as evidence.
However, in Franklin's opinion, Buddhist scriptures were greatly exaggerated and could not be completely believed.
Franklin asked with ill intentions again.
"Jiang Yuan, even if what you said about Wang Xuance is true, is there no record of it in the official history books?”
"I'm afraid you're exaggerating and making up a story.”
Hearing Franklin's question, Jiang Yuan sneered in his heart. This old man was really stubborn.
Immediately, he looked at Franklin with a sneer and asked,"Do you know who was the county magistrate of your county five hundred years ago?”
"You…"
Initially, Franklin thought that Jiang Yuan would definitely not be able to answer, but Jiang Yuan asked him this question instead, instantly making Franklin speechless.
He knew that Jiang Yuan was mocking him.
Franklin's face immediately darkened as he shouted angrily.
"Jiang Yuan, you are indeed sharp-tongued.”
"A mere county magistrate from 500 years ago, why would the history books record him?”
Hearing Franklin's angry shout, Jiang Yuan sneered.
"You've already mentioned that he's just a small county magistrate, how could the history books record him?”
" Besides, Wang Xuance's official position as an envoy is about the same as that of a county magistrate in the capital region. Why would a history book of petty officials waste time recording it?”
" In addition, the Tang Empire was full of famous generals at that time, and they had almost won every battle against the foreign tribes. Generals like Qin Shubao and Cheng Yaojin were more famous than Wang Xuance.”
Hearing Jiang Yuan's words, Franklin felt a lump in his chest and almost spat out a mouthful of blood.
What made him feel even more humiliated was that he actually couldn't find any reason to refute Jiang Yuan.
Wang Xuance's official position at that time was an envoy, equivalent to a county magistrate.
After he won the battle, he was promoted to Chaosan Doctor when he returned to Chang 'an.
However, a court official was only a fifth-grade official, slightly higher than a county magistrate, and did not have any real power.
Naturally, it was impossible for the history books to spend too much time recording such things.
Seeing Franklin's constipated expression, Jiang Yuan retracted his gaze and continued to explain to the audience.
"The first part talked about Li Shimin's achievements during his reign, as well as his son Li Zhi and Wu Zetian.”
"In the decades that followed, the Tang Dynasty was a prosperous era. Many famous officials and scholars were born.”
"Especially in the early and middle period of Emperor Xuanzong, he vigorously rectified the maladministration and promoted virtuous officials as prime ministers.
He cleaned up the corrupt administration of officials and established a set of inspection systems. He streamlined the bureaucrats, reduced redundant officials, and set up interviews to develop the regional governor system. However, this also led to the increase of local power, which was the root cause of future unrest.
In terms of economy, they advocated thrift, suppressed Buddhism, and almost abandoned the granary system. They also used methods such as household registration to alleviate the problem of fleeing households caused by land annexation.
Militarily, he changed the military system into a recruitment system, and revived the horse administration. He recovered Yingzhou in western Liaoning and Jiuqu in the west of the river in Tubo, and once again subdued the Khitan, Xi, Shiwei, and other ethnic governments.
The Western Regions annexed the Greater and Lesser Balur and destroyed Tuqishi. The Northern Saibei side subdued the restored Later Turks and later supported the Uighurs to wipe out the Later Turks.
Under the reign of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, it gradually entered a golden age. History called it the Kaiyuan Golden Age, which was the most prosperous period of the entire Tang Dynasty.”
"However, in the later years of Emperor Xuanzong, he became muddle-headed and married his daughter-in-law as a concubine. In the end, the An Lushan Rebellion erupted, causing the Tang Dynasty's national strength to rapidly decline.”
"In the hundred years that followed, the imperial court was often held back by the local governments, and peasant uprisings continued.”
In history, there were good and bad people about Li Longji.
In the early days, the government was clear and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment.
However, in the later stages, he became muddle-headed and ruined the fate of the Tang Dynasty.
In the next hundred years, the Tang Dynasty became the overlord of the three states.
The history that Jiang Yuan spoke of made people yearn for the Tang Dynasty.
And this was under the condition that he didn't talk about the poems of the Tang Dynasty, Li Bai, Du Fu, and other scholars.
