The Seventy Years of the Great Tang, the Hundred Years of the Halting Tang Kneeling to Reward
After the nine reasons for entering the rankings appeared.
At this moment, everyone was reading through the text and the videos that were posted when they were listed.
They all felt the pressure from Gigantic Tang!!!
What was a face-to-face arrangement?
This was called arranging noodles!
But the more this was the case, the more Li Shimin couldn't understand.
He was clearly already so powerful.
Why was he only ranked fourth??
According to his calculations.
He believed that the Qin Dynasty definitely had a place.
Qin was the first dynasty in history to establish an imperial system. The other party was stronger than him, so he had to admit it!!
However, there were still two empires that were more powerful than him, so he was a little unhappy.
Even after observing the past and listening to the conversations of these future rulers, he had never found a dynasty more impressive than his Great Tang.
And in reality.
Li Shiming was right.
Indeed.
Whether it was the Qin Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty, or any other dynasty.
No one could compare to the Tang Dynasty in terms of prosperity.
One had to know that just the fact that all the countries had come to congratulate and that the world was proud of entering the Tang Dynasty was already something that the previous and future dynasties could not compare to.
Your Qin Dynasty suppressed the world, but the other countries only feared you and did not like you.
Your Song Dynasty's literary talent covered the world, but the countries only coveted it and did not fear you.
Your Yuan Dynasty has made great contributions, but the countries only hate you and don't respect you.
You are an unyielding man, but the other countries only want to fight you and don't interact with you.
Only the Tang Dynasty gave way to all the countries in the world. It was afraid and loved, hated and delighted.
The powerful military made these small countries bow and scrape.
The terrifying culture was favored by these small countries.
The super strong economy made these small foreign countries linger.
It could be said.
In the first seventy to eighty years of the Great Tang, it was the most coveted holy land in the world.
For example.
In the modern era, Beauty Nation attracted the attention of the world.
Then, in this period, other than the beautiful countries, there were other countries in everyone's eyes.
For example, the mysterious East, the romantic Rome, and the gentlemanly Queen's Kingdom.
But during the Great Tang era…
Everyone in the world only had the Great Tang in their eyes. As for any other country, they were just small foreign countries.
To put it bluntly.
At that time, there was no first or second ranking.
In everyone's eyes, the Great Tang was unique.
Therefore, he had no choice.
The existence of the Great Tang was unparalleled.
Instead of carefully calculating how terrifying the glory of the Tang Dynasty was.
Then, if they were described according to different fields.
In military terms.
After the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, it relied on its powerful national strength to defeat Goguryeo, the Turks, and the Pacific Island. It stabilized the Tubo Empire and continued to expand the Western Regions until Central Asia.
In terms of land area.
According to statistics, during the Tang Dynasty's heyday, the land area was more than 12 million square kilometers, which was nearly three million square kilometers more than our current land area. The vast territory was bound to have a powerful army as its backing.
Take the wealth of the country as an example.
The business of the Tang Dynasty was very developed, and China's foreign trade was a huge surplus. In other words, they were making money until their hands were soft. Under the stable domestic environment, the common people's wealth was effectively accumulated, and their material lives were relatively rich.
In this context, take the equipment of the Tang army as an example.
The equipment of the Tang army was all luxurious, such as the well-known Mo Sword. It was forged in a complicated way and was made of metal. It was expensive and time-consuming.
But such an expensive item was not rare in the Tang army.
The difference between a rich country and a poor country could be directly explained by Xiang Yu.
When Xiang Yu rebelled, it was because he was too poor that he broke into Qin Ling to equip the soldiers.
Then, he took away the weapons in the hands of the terracotta warriors buried with Qin Shihuang.
On the other hand, the Great Tang.
Directly create!
Not only was it made, but it was also made of expensive metal.
This was something that many emperors did not dare to imagine.
However, not only did Li Shiming want to do it, he also did it.
With such a powerful combat ability, complete logistics, and huge economic support.
It was no exaggeration for the Great Tang to be called the Great Tang.
Similarly.
Because of the development of the economy, the strength of the military, and the vast territory.
From there, they nurtured one literary master after another!
Think about it carefully.
How many poems had been passed down since the birth of Huaxia?
Among the few poems that remained.
The poems of the Tang Dynasty alone occupied about 70% of the entire history.
Therefore, the culture of the Tang Dynasty was incomparable.
Even the later Song Dynasty had to call Tang Dynasty literature big brother.
......
And these were not the only places where the Great Tang was glorious.
In terms of invention, the Great Tang was not inferior to any other dynasty.
The invention of the curved beam plow in agriculture had almost made a qualitative leap in the development of agriculture.
Next, the most important invention that influenced the world, also known as the Four Great Chinese inventions, gunpowder, was also invented during the Great Tang period.
There were countless other things, such as the zodiac travel instrument, the water transport armillary sphere, astronomical instruments, engraving and printing techniques.
In summary.
The Tang Dynasty had reached an extremely high level in terms of national welfare, prosperity, economic development, cultural output, scientific and technological creation, international influence, and ethnic integration.
In this situation, it would not be an exaggeration to call the Great Tang number one.
but unfortunately
Unfortunately, the An Lushan Rebellion appeared.
The Great Tang, which had been glorious for more than half a century, had fallen to the bottom of the valley, into the abyss.
It was also because of the An Lushan Rebellion.
As a result, the Great Tang suffered a disastrous decline, which was why it was ranked fourth (third).
For this reason.
Later generations had also commented on the life of the Great Tang.
The 70-year-old Giant Tang, the 100-year-old Yong Tang, and the 100-year-old faint Tang.
