The end of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period can be considered a relatively unpopular subject, but it is also a watershed in Chinese history, an extremely important watershed.

Because this period of history laid the foundation for the future direction of Chinese history.

Technology develops with the times, and barbarians cannot always remain barbarians.

Their culture is low and their technology tree is backward, but that doesn't mean it will always be like this.

At their peak in the late Sui Dynasty, the Turks had the intention of taking over the Central Plains, changing from nomadic life to establishing a country. Today they support Liu Wuzhou, and tomorrow they support Dou Jiande, helping Li Tang conquer Guanzhong, and helping Wang Shichong deal with Li Tang, in order to weaken the Central Plains.

Strength.

It is conceivable that if at this time the Central Plains fell into the chaos of the Three Kingdoms period, each would consume the other.

And in the north, there is another alien race with more than a million people who can control strings. They have reached the level of Rong and Di. They are unprecedented in ancient times. What will happen to them?

Fortunately, Li Shimin was too strong and defeated the two most powerful princes, Wang Shichong and Dou Jiande, in one battle. The Tang Dynasty unified the world with lightning speed and suppressed the Turks.

The situation in the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms was somewhat similar. The Central Plains was in turmoil, and the surrounding alien races continued to grow.

What is regrettable is that the successor of the Chinese civilization did not rise in a real sense. Not only did it fail to achieve unification, but it was checked and balanced by the other party.

In the end, Chinese civilization was destroyed twice by alien races.

Some people say that because there is no land to raise horses, they are destined to be defeated, so they do not blame the Song Dynasty. This is a big joke.

This is just like the reason why the Jin Dynasty invaded China because of the internal strife of Wei, Shu, and Wu, which led to a sharp decline in population and the decline of national power. The fault lies with Wei, Shu, and Wu, not the Jin Dynasty, not the Sima family.

There were no racecourses in the beginning of the Han Dynasty, but Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty conquered them.

When the Tang Dynasty started, there was only Taiyuan.

Yan Yundi couldn't defeat Yan Yun, but he didn't look for the reason from himself, and blamed the former dynasty who was already terminally ill and unable to recover. What's the truth?

Liu Bang, a gangster leader, started his business with a group of refugees and dominated the world. The Tang Dynasty started from Taiyuan and dominated the world. Every piece of their territory was acquired bit by bit, not given by recharging.

Mongolia and the Jin Kingdom were indeed powerful, but their journey to rise was also extremely difficult.

When Temujin was in despair, he hid in Tibet and could not even save his own wife. The same was true for Wanyan Aguda. Jurchen women had to sleep with Liao nobles before getting married.

Compared with them, the Zhao family directly inherited Chai Rong's Great Zhou Dynasty. The starting point was most of the world, with a group of civil servants and generals. In the end, they were destroyed and failed to complete the great unification...

Is it strange that the previous government didn’t give them land to raise horses? Doesn’t that make sense?

The author believes that the culprit is Zhao Guangyi's incompetence...

Therefore, every time I see this place, I can't help but think how great it would be if it was not Zhao and Song who rose up during this period, but another country that could subdue the barbarians and once again suppress the rise of the aliens.

Presumably there will not be a tragedy where the alien race is destroyed twice.

This is also the origin of this book. Although Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms is not a popular book, it is full of the author’s own good wishes.
