Quick Travel: Records of Extraordinary Creatures

Chapter 99 Extra Story - Shangzhen Qinghuang Empress Guangwu
"Lin Daiyu's silence lasted for a full 20 years. During these 20 years, she seemed to only focus on running Lin's business firm and Lin's college, and no longer interfered in the affairs of the court. Her husband, Tu Huaixia, was indeed just A conservative king, he basically maintained his father's decision-making for 20 years, lived with the people, and ruled by doing nothing.

It's just that with the changes of the times, some policies have long been inapplicable, and various problems have appeared one after another many years ago. By the end of Tu Huaixia's reign, various social conflicts were already very acute, and there were many civil uprisings , but Tu Huaixia couldn't handle it at all.

He even passed the throne directly to his son.

To preserve the reputation of peace during his reign.

So Tu Junyu, who was 31 years old at the time, ascended to the throne, and immediately began to actively suppress civil uprisings, feeling like he wanted to make meritorious deeds as soon as possible and stabilize the throne.

As a result, the 20 troops he sent were defeated.

In the same year, the northern barbarians invaded and the border fell.

All of a sudden, the Tu family dynasty was a little bit stormy, facing internal and external enemies, and the country was subjugated. In this year, Tu Huaixia died suddenly of a sudden illness.

There are many controversies about this aspect in the history books. For example, there may be problems with Tu Huaixia's death, and why the officials agreed that a queen mother of a country who has never been on the battlefield before is also a big problem.

We leave these questions behind for the time being.

In any case, Lin Daiyu in the history books is indeed Dai Xiao, and the more legendary point is that she went to the enemy camp alone to meet the leader of the rebel army, and promised to pardon them innocent, etc. A series of conditions made them surrender.

Then even if more than half of the people agree.

The rest who disagreed were taken down by Lin Daiyu in cooperation with those who agreed. It can be said that this rebellion was suppressed by her alone, her reputation and popular support.

It can be seen that in the past 20 years, Lin Daiyu has a high reputation in the folk business and the people's aspirations, but there are also posterity who suspect that there are people who have been planted by her among the rebels, and even the overall rebellion is related to her.

Maybe it was her planning behind the scenes.

I think these conspiracy theories can be temporarily suspended, because the earliest such conspiracy theory is a certain unofficial history 300 years after the death of the empress. It does not make sense that no one questioned the time when the empress was in power or when the empress died. On the contrary, it was 300 years The later people are very smart and have discovered the clues, so those who say there is a conspiracy can be dispersed.

After the internal rebellion subsided, of course the next step was to fight abroad, and it was this battle of Lin Daiyu's personal conquest against the northern barbarians that best proved that Lin Daiyu was not incapable of suppressing the domestic rebellion by force, but that she had the ability , but couldn't bear the heavy casualties of the people in the country, so he took the risk to go to the enemy's camp to negotiate and make promises.

In this battle of the Northern Expedition, Lin Daiyu has always taken the lead, facing the Northern Man at the age of 54. In the words of some generals later, it seems to have seen the rebirth of the overlord, the birth of the killing god, no matter how powerful the Northern Man soldiers are, Lin Daiyu is not one of them. The enemy is almost a god blocking and killing a god, and a Buddha blocking and killing a Buddha. Two spiked, eighty-pound spiked hammers can be said to die when touched, and hurt when touched. As soon as the two sides confronted each other, Lin Daiyu raised With the wolf-toothed hammer, he went straight to the core of the opponent's camp.

And it only took a quarter of an hour to kill the panicked northern barbarian royal family. As long as the high-ranking northern barbarians who were targeted by Lin Daiyu basically died under the hammer of the mace, not only the northern barbarians were shocked and horrified, The imperial army was actually quite surprised, but after all, the Queen Mother belonged to them, so their morale was greatly boosted in addition to their horror, and they quickly defeated the northern barbarian army.

Many people think this is outrageous, but if we go back to the history books, we can find a very inconspicuous record, that is, when Lin Daiyu was seven or eight years old, there was a clear record that her father took the whole family back to the capital by boat. During the assassination, there were hundreds of assassins at that time, but they were all easily taken down by Lin Daiyu.

Later, when an assassin set fire to the boat, she cast a magical spell to extinguish the fire, and the boat tree created by that magical spell is still in the upper reaches of the Huaiyu River.

Therefore, Lin Daiyu's superior military strength did not come out of nowhere. She was very powerful since she was a child, but she never had room to show it. If the battle between her and the officials was not about fighting for words, but fighting for force, it is estimated that the world would have long been hers. , Which round will get those weak chicken scholars who have no power to restrain the chicken to speak.

Back to the topic...

After defeating the northern barbarian army, Lin Daiyu did not stop there, but simply took advantage of the victory to pursue the Northern Expedition. In this Northern Expedition, Lin Daiyu brought many graduates from Lin's Academy, and Lin's Chamber of Commerce also followed suit. The imperial court did not prepare in time materials, etc.

To put it more simply, in this battle of the Northern Expedition, the court, especially her son, did not cooperate very well, and even deliberately delayed the supply of supplies. Fortunately, Lin Daiyu's Lin's firm had sufficient funds and supplies. In terms of logistics, it was even faster than the imperial court, and Lin's academy was not short of talents, so the Northern Expedition War was able to continue. In the end, some people even said that the Northern Expedition would not waste the imperial court's food and silver.

It all depends on the empress dowager raising money by herself.

The final result is that Lin Daiyu has expanded the land for two thousand miles, using the power of Lin's Academy and Lin's Chamber of Commerce to control the newly added territory. More than half of the people in the upper class were all supported by talents from Lin's school, and they ascended the throne and proclaimed themselves emperor very smoothly.

The name of the country has not changed, but the name of the year has been changed to Qinghuang.

At this point, the empress has completely taken power. When she was the empress, her thoughts and ambitions, which she had never been able to display, were finally able to be displayed. A huge industrial reform and ideological emancipation kicked off.

Equality and equal rights stipulated in various laws.

It started from that time.

Abolish all privileges, and realize the true meaning of the law. The emperor broke the law and committed the same crime as the common people. In the same year, a big case was raised to liquidate all officials, nobles and family crimes. Even if it is an old case from 20 or 30 years ago, as long as evidence can be found , or find the family members of the victim, etc., all have to be retried and convicted.

And with this major case involving the whole country.

Lay the legal foundation.

Afterwards, the empress did many things. For example, my country’s foreign wars and foreign colonization started from the empress. It is closely related to the empress to have such a large territory. During the 60 years in power, the empress has truly reached the ancient The well-off and prosperous age, it was a Qinghuang prosperous age far surpassing any previous prosperous age.

In addition, the whereabouts of the empress is also a legend.

In the 61st year of Qinghuang, the empress passed on the throne to her great-great-granddaughter, and on the day of passing on the throne, she soared into the sky, leaving neither a mausoleum nor a corpse, but only endless legends and reveries, which will make future generations ponder. "

"Okay, this is the rough life of the Empress.
