Chapter 249: Clearing the court is really just clearing the court
Unable to bear it any longer, Li Ranran wrote down which episode and which part she had watched today, and then went to bed.
When Li Ranran woke up the next day, she found that her bestie had asked her to travel with her on WeChat last night. Although they had gone out together last month, they both had more time now... so they hit it off and discussed whether to go abroad or in China.
During the break, Li Ranran relied on muscle memory to open Station 13 and watch videos.
【Purge the emperor’s side】
(Night, heavy snow
Young men dressed in Japanese military uniforms rushed into the homes of ministers with guns in hand and carried out a bloody massacre.
Shouting: "Shoot!"
"Heavenly punishment!")
[February 26, 1911
"At dawn that day, a group of young officers who were worried about the poverty of the people, angered by the political corruption and depravity of the military elite, led 1400 soldiers in rebellion."
"Demand for the Emperor to reform and the Showa Restoration."
The Japanese national system should be "realized as one nation under the leadership of His Majesty the Emperor, who is the unbroken line of succession for all eternity." "The so-called elders, important ministers, warlords, financial tycoons, bureaucrats, political parties, etc. are all the culprits who destroy the national system." It is necessary to "eliminate the treacherous ministers and military thieves around the emperor and smash their core. This is our responsibility and should be done properly."
＜Governance, chaos, rise and fall are all things in dreams; worldly affairs are just like a chess game＞
＜The Japanese are really honest. They really only want to purge the emperor's side. Hahahaha, I really don't understand their train of thought [covering face]＞
＜So they are all quite weird. In ancient times, we were rebelling to clear out the emperor's side in order to become the emperor. The people involved in the February 26th Mutiny were different. They were really just asking the emperor to be a good emperor＞
＜But after the mutiny, it was Hirohito, their good emperor, who demanded that these hotels be dealt with seriously＞
＜Just a group of angry young people who want to save the country＞
＜Classic Japanese military uprising＞
＜If we really want to talk about the lower class overthrowing the upper class, we have to look at the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period in my country [吃瓜]＞
＜See, this is the result of not clearing the emperor’s court. I remember that the emperor’s brother was brought in, but it was a pity that he was delayed＞
＜They are all beasts. Those in the video are not good people. They are all fascists. You should know that after this incident, a full-scale war of aggression against China will begin＞
＜Dog bites dog. The only innocent victims are the civilians. Soon, the entire Japanese nation is caught up in the militaristic war＞
＜Don’t mention it, this bgm sounds pretty cool＞
＜Japanese Navy and Army at odds, calling each other idiot＞
＜From the perspective of Japanese society at that time, there was no room for young people in Japan to move up, as the upper echelons were all monopolized. At that time, life pressure was high, and the military’s outward expansion happened to solve the employment problem and also enable the plunder of wealth…＞
＜Expansion, right? Fighting to support war?＞
＜So even if the 226 mutiny was successful in the end, they would still start a war after coming to power. At that time, all the Japanese were brainwashed＜＞＞
＜The struggle between the Imperial Way faction and the Control and Unification faction: one wants to go north to fight the Russian bear, the other wants to invade China＞
[Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin: Hmm… should we say it is worthy of being called Japan? It is really weird]
[Tang Xuanzong Li Longji: You can know what to do by looking at history]
[He Zhizhang in the 25th year of Kaiyuan in the Tang Dynasty: Angry Youth? Angry young people?]
[Emperor Wu of Wei, Cao Cao, this is actually an internal struggle. Shouldn't he first control the emperor's younger brother? Then he can support the emperor's younger brother and command the ministers]
[Emperor Zhaolie of Han Liu Bei: Same as you, right?]
[Song Renzong Zhao Zhen: There are too many examples in the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms]
[Emperor Wu of Han Liu Che: Oh?! So these people are the ones who came to our land to cause chaos later—? Humph, they died well]
[Huo Qubing in the fifth year of Yuanshou in the Han Dynasty: Dogs bite dogs, so let’s kill each other]
[Qin Shi Huang Ying Zheng: A war of militarism?]
[Tang Taizong Li Shimin: In any country, if the upward channel is cut off, it will cause a disaster.]
……
Li Ranran didn't see clearly what the video cover was, she only saw the three big characters "清君侧" (clearing the emperor's side), and thought it was a summary of cases of clearing the emperor's side in ancient my country.
"The Japanese can't even purge the emperor's court... They are just beasts. Seeing this Japanese military uniform is annoying."
Under the light curtain, the people also found time to rest in their busy schedule and talk to each other.
"What is brainwashing?"
"Well... probably you think everything others say is right, and you will do whatever they say unconditionally."
"Uh, isn't this our life now?"
"So, are we also brainwashed?"
"Ah... well... don't count..."
"Let's talk about other topics."
……
Huo Qubing bowed to Liu Che and said, "Your Majesty, when the Xiongnu and the Western Regions are pacified, I will definitely march to Japan!"
"Good! You are worthy of being my champion marquis!" Liu Che felt happy. Although he had not told anyone about his plan to attack Japan, Huo Qubing's words hit the nail on the head.
"Don't worry. Once the big ships are built and the navy is established, it will be the day of our revenge."
Wei Qing knew that His Majesty wanted to avenge the suffering that China would suffer in the future.
Of course, Guangmu also said that Japan was called "Treasure Island".
In fact, Wei Qing didn't take the current Japan seriously at all. According to what Guangmu said, Japan has always been a vassal state of China.
……
Li Shimin thought of Huang Chao in the late Tang Dynasty, where the children of aristocratic families monopolized the imperial examinations, leaving no way for other people from the lower class to survive.
Forget it, let’s not discuss whether Huang Chao’s rebellion was right or wrong, but he did start to rebel because he had no channels for advancement.
Expanding outward and constantly fighting wars. Although it is possible to plunder the wealth of other countries, can the country really withstand the pressure?
The Japanese approach won’t work.
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration came to my mind. The country once known as the Empire on which the Sun Never Sets had colonies in every corner of the world, relying on the local resources and population of the colonies to continuously nourish the country.
So, this is the reason why Britain, although just a very small island country, was able to become the British Empire later.
……
Li Zhi now found the word "Emperor" offensive.
Barbarians, how can the Japanese be worthy of this word? !
This is total blasphemy!!!
……
Zhao Kuangyin himself came out of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, and he was the one who knew best how complicated that period was.
Although he knew through the light curtain that the Song Dynasty would not be a short-lived flash in the pan like the countries in the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, Zhao Kuangyin was still somewhat worried about his son Zhao Dezhao.
In order to temper Zhao Dezhao and make him cautious, Zhao Kuangyin decided to attack the Northern Han Dynasty next year and make sure Zhao Dezhao went to the battlefield.
After listening to the emperor Zhao Kuangyin's words, Zhao Pu was obviously a little stiff. Should he remind the emperor that your brother who was imprisoned in the West Garden of the Imperial Palace seemed to have also gone to the battlefield... but the result was not good...
Forget it. Why bother saying these things as they will only annoy the officials in the future.
Zhao Kuangyin mentioned in passing: "You should tell Dezhao more about the history since the middle Tang Dynasty in the future." Then he said to Cao Bin: "Let Dezhao go to your army to gain some experience."
Zhao Pu and Cao Bin both answered, "Yes."
Zhao Dezhao was extremely happy when he knew about this. His father was training him, and he couldn't let his father down!
……
Zhu Di recalled himself who had said that he would quell the rebellion in accordance with the will of heaven, and at that time he had also raised the banner of clearing the court of corrupt officials.
"Alas, a few hundred people rose up in Beijing, and the details that have come to this day can only be said to be God's will."
