Chapter 273
After Qi Cheng returned home, he lay down on the sofa, picked up his tablet and started browsing.
Our country has gone through so many dynasties. Besides the Han Chinese, there have been many ministers from other ethnic groups, and some of them have done quite well.
Dayuan: You must be talking about me.
Daqing: Aren’t you talking about me?
Beichao: Are you finally going to mention me?
Let's first talk about a Han Dynasty figure, the Xiongnu prince Jin Midi. He was originally the son of King Xiutu. Due to military pressure from the Han Dynasty, the Xiongnu kings Hunye and Xiutu were forced to surrender.
[And during the surrender process, King Hunxie killed King Xiutu.]
After Jin Midi arrived in the Han Dynasty, he initially worked as a horse breeder in the Horse Department. Later, he gained the favor of Emperor Wu of Han and rose through the ranks from a minor official to the position of Imperial Concubine's Commandant.
[Later, after the Witchcraft Rebellion, a man named Ma Heluo and his brothers attempted to assassinate Emperor Wu of Han. Thanks to Jin Midi's quick thinking, he caught Ma Heluo before he could make a move and threw him to the ground.]
Later, he served as an important minister to assist Emperor Zhao of Han along with Huo Guang, Sang Hongyang and others.
His descendants were also loyal to the Han Dynasty and sided with the emperor when Wang Mang usurped the throne. As a result, they were persecuted, and some of them fled to the seaside of Lu Province.
【It has continued to thrive to this day.】
"Who is that general named Ma? He's so brave."
It is said that Jin Xuan in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms is his descendant.
The surname Cong!
Daqin
Qin Shi Huang looked at this introduction and found it somewhat incredible. How could such a person appear among the Xiongnu, who were little more than barbarians? Weren't they all just rough men who knew how to fight?
"Fusu, do you think it's possible now..."
"Father, it's really too far-fetched to think about this now. Not to mention the Xiongnu, even the people of the other six kingdoms cannot all be used by Qin."
"Let's first appease all the residents of Daqin and pick out a few who can be used."
Fusu hadn't said anything else. Since the Qin Dynasty perished during the Second Emperor's reign, the opponent must have many talented people. If the Qin Dynasty could pick out these people, it would be enough for the Qin Dynasty to use them.
big man
Liu Che first asked the guards to arrest Ma Heluo. This guy was really brave and even wanted to assassinate him.
As for Jin Midi, let him be the Weiwei and give him a title of nobility.
Jin Midi himself was also very happy after seeing the sky curtain, because it clearly mentioned that he had many descendants, which made him feel at ease.
……
Because of its tolerance and openness, the Tang Dynasty welcomed many generals from various ethnic groups, and even more famous generals. The one we are talking about today is called Heichi Changzhi.
【He was a Baekje native.】
When Emperor Gaozong of Tang conquered Baekje, he was recruited to surrender and serve under the veteran general Liu Rengui. He was subsequently promoted several times and served with Liu Rengui in defending Heyuan.
What really made him famous was the second defeat at Dafeichuan. At that time, the commander Li Jingxuan did not dare to rescue Liu Shenli and could only retreat and defend himself in a mud ditch.
[The Tibetan army was shooting arrows from atop the high ground.]
[Finally, Heichi Changzhi led a 500-man death squad and rushed into the Tibetan camp at night, forcing the Tibetans to retreat.]
Although the Tang Dynasty suffered a disastrous defeat in this battle, they did discover a great general like Heichi Changzhi.
Two years later, the Tibetans attacked Heyuan again. Heichi Changzhi attacked the camp at night and beheaded 2,000 people.
[In the battle against Tubo, he defeated Lun Zanpo, the younger brother of Lun Qinling mentioned earlier. As for whether he ever fought against Lun Qinling, I think he did.]
[Because he cultivated land in the Heyuan area and defeated the Tibetan army several times, theoretically he should have encountered Lun Qinling.]
It's a pity that such a brave general would fall into the hands of cruel officials in his old age. Although the Tang Dynasty later rehabilitated him, it's still a pity. Generals like him should be well cared for.
Tang Dynasty
Li Shimin slammed the table in anger. How could Li Zhi become the emperor? Such a great general actually died in such a miserable way.
Looking at Li Zhi who was still a baby, he withdrew the order to take the whip.
"Father, please don't be angry." Li Chengqian grabbed Li Shimin's sleeve, "I don't think my brother is that kind of person. If things go wrong..."
Well, Empress Wu was also someone that could not be mentioned in the palace.
"Black Tooth Changzhi may have just been born. We still have a chance to get him."
"Ah."
Li Shimin was worried about another thing. The news of Heichi Changzhi appearing on the screen might cause some uncertainty. In that case, who in the Tang Dynasty could stop Lun Qinling?
"Call all the generals of the Tang Dynasty and arrange for manpower to deal with the Turks and Tibetans immediately," Li Shimin instructed the waiter. "The Tang Dynasty has developed many things based on the sky curtain, and it's time to test them on these barbarians."
"Bring more thunder bombs and small cannons!"
……
Having discussed the Tang Dynasty, let's move on to the Ming Dynasty. Actually, due to the Yuan Dynasty, there were many Semites and Mongols in the Ming Dynasty, and many of them served as officials.
[For example, General Man Gui, who shone brightly in the late Ming Dynasty.]
Man Gui was a Mongolian, but he once wrote in a memorial that his ancestral home was in Shandong Province, so his ancestors may have always lived in Shandong Province.
He was first recommended by Yang Hao, and later gained the favor of Sun Chengzong, so he rose from an ordinary general to a general.
[Of course, he himself was also quite brave. When he was young, he often took the heads of Tartars in exchange for silver rewards. Later, he dared to lead troops to fight against the Manchus in the field.]
Later, when the Manchus invaded and besieged the capital, he was granted the Imperial Sword and commanded all the reinforcements.
However, at that time, the Eight Banners of Manchuria were still very powerful. Although they failed to capture the capital, two generals, Man Gui and Sun Zushou, were killed in the battle.
[Generals Ma Dengyun and Hei Yunlong were captured.]
Ming Dynasty
Zhu Yuanzhang felt that Tianmu was a little unfair. The two people mentioned above were both in the heyday of the dynasty, but by the time of the Ming Dynasty, it was the end of the Ming Dynasty.
Were there no foreign generals when the Ming Dynasty was prosperous?
Zhu Di also expressed his incomprehension. He could talk about his Zheng He, who was also a general of a foreign race.
However, he still liked Man Gui. He was a good general who could fight for the Ming Dynasty until the last moment.
Zhu Youxiao said that he knew another famous general. Since this general was so brave, he would arrange him to go to Datong directly and wait for him to arrange famous generals of the Ming Dynasty in all nine borders.
With the new recruits trained by Sun Chuanting, he was absolutely confident that he could defeat those arrogant and domineering Manchus.
Now he has followed the last instruction from Tianmu and given the imperial sword to Xiong Tingbi against all odds. The next step is to find another general in Xuanfu.
The Ming Dynasty will definitely be revived.
