Chapter 125 General and Prime Minister Shi Tianze

 Especially after the victory in the Battle of Gorkha, Fukang'an, as a representative of the Qing Dynasty, participated in the formulation of the "Imperial Regulations for Dealing with the Disaster in Tibet" and the Golden Urn Drawing System while in Tibet.

This played a major role in consolidating the political relationship between the Qing Dynasty central government and Tibetan localities, safeguarding national sovereignty, unity and territorial integrity, and strengthening national unity.

From this point of view, the silver level given to him by the system should be commander-in-chief. After all, his political attributes are still a little far behind.

There are two summoned characters, the first is a bronze character, and the second is a silver character, which makes Wang Yu look at alien summoning cards with admiration.

[Ding dong, summon the third person, Liao Kingdom, Arich, level: silver;]

Ariqi, a fictional character in the classic novel Water Margin, was a general of the Liao Kingdom during the Xuanhe period of the Northern Song Dynasty, and a guard general of Miyun County in Tanzhou. Although his appearance was a swan song, just his defeat of the golden gunner Xu Ning in thirty rounds was enough.

Prove that he is stronger than Dong Ping!

You know, Xu Ning once fought with Dong Ping, one of the five tiger generals of the Ma Army, for more than 50 years in front of the battle formation, but they still couldn't decide the outcome. Although Song Jiang was afraid that Xu Ning would make a mistake, he asked Xu Ning to retreat, and the scene seemed to dominate.

Downwind.

But in fact, it didn’t really fall behind.

After all, with Song Jiang's strength, how can he see these skills?

He was at his peak just after he appeared. Alic was hit in the left eye by Zhang Qing, a featherless arrow, and fell off his horse. He was captured alive by the five generals of Liangshan: Lin Chong, Qin Ming, Li Guanghuarong, and Suo Chao, the pioneer.

Later, because he was in the middle of a battle and was captured by Liangshan, Arich's injuries could not be treated in time, so he died of pain.

It is a pity that a first-rate general was plotted by Zhang Qing, who had mediocre martial arts, and died in his hands. It can also be seen that Arich's defensive ability in battle is not as good as that of ordinary Liangshan leaders.

[Ding dong, summon the fourth person, Yelu Chucai, level: silver;]

There is no doubt that Yelu Chucai's silver level must refer to politics and intelligence!

After all, this was a great politician and scholar in China in the 13th century.

As far as his political activities are concerned, during the Wokuotai period, he presided over the governance of the Central Plains by the Great Mongolia, which made the Mongolian nomadic aristocrats take a big step forward in adapting to the feudal civilization of the Central Plains.

With his active activities, he made the places inside and outside the Great Mongolia Kingdom connect together in a distinctive way.

Although his career suffered setbacks in his later years, it was later restored and developed during the Kublai Khan period.

It can be said that Yelu Chucai's activities were in line with the historical trends at that time, so he is a figure worthy of recognition in history.

Many of his measures enabled the emerging Mongolian aristocracy to gradually give up their backward nomadic lifestyle and adopt Han Chinese traditional ideas and systems centered on Confucianism to govern the Central Plains.

The chaotic times with constant wars were transformed into a prosperous era of peace, which allowed the advanced feudal agricultural civilization of the Central Plains to be preserved and continued to develop, and also laid the foundation for Kublai Khan to later establish the Yuan Dynasty.

In particular, the resumption of the imperial examinations directly improved the status of Confucian scholars in the Central Plains and recruited a large number of talents for the country, such as Yang Huan, Zhang Wenqian, Zhao Liangbi, Dong Wenyong and others, who later became famous ministers in Kublai Khan's era.

He made a great contribution to the completion of the Chineseization of Mongolia.

This examination enabled a large number of Confucian scholars to improve their status and receive preferential treatment in classes, and they played an important role in various fields of culture, education, politics, and economy.

It accumulated strength and laid the foundation for the development and prosperity of the Mongol Empire during the Kublai Khan period.

Genghis Khan, a generation of genius, once said of Yelu Chucai: "This man is a gift from God to my family. From now on, we can entrust the military, state and government to him."

His son Wokuotai once said: "Without you, the Central Plains would not be what it is today. The reason why I have a peaceful pillow is because of your strength!"

It's just that Wang Yu didn't expect that such an awesome person has not reached the gold level.

However, we can also see from this the preciousness of golden figures.

[Ding dong, summon the fifth person, a famous general in the early Yuan Dynasty, Shi Tianze, level: silver;]

If the fourth Yelv Chucai has two silvers in politics and intelligence, then Shi Tianze has three silvers in commander, force and politics.

Shi Tianze's ancestor had strong financial resources and was a popular surname in the village. When his father Shi Bingzhi arrived, it was at the end of the Jin Dynasty. The country was in decline and the landowners in various places were armed and strongholds to protect themselves.

Shi Bingzhi loved reading, emphasized loyalty, and was very influential in the local area. Shi Tianze was Shi Bingzhi's third son. He was eight feet tall, had a voice like a bell, was good at riding and shooting, and had extraordinary courage.

In the eighth year of Emperor Taizu of the Yuan Dynasty (1213), he followed his father Shi Bingzhi back to Muhuali. Muhuali ordered Shi Bingzhi to still lead his clan and stationed in Bazhou (today's Baxian County, Hebei Province), and his son Shi Tianni was the leader of ten thousand households.

, Shi Tianze was appointed as the general manager in front of the account.

The following year, Shi Bingzhi, Suimu Huali, captured Dading Prefecture in Beijing (today's west of Ningcheng, Inner Mongolia), and was awarded the title of Minister of the Sixth Ministry for his merits. The political and military status of the Shi family began to be established from then on.

In the 20th year of Emperor Taizu of the Yuan Dynasty (1225), he succeeded his brother Shi Tiannidu as Marshal, led his army to defeat the Jin general Wuxian, and captured and killed Peng Yibin, the general of the anti-Mongolian red coat army;

Xuanfu envoy, Zhongshu right prime minister, deputy privy envoy and other positions.

You must know that this Wu Xian is no ordinary person. He is a famous general of the Jin Kingdom. He once defeated Meng Gong's army of the Southern Song Dynasty in the Battle of Shunyang. Although this does not mean that he defeated Meng Gong, it is enough to prove his ability.<

/p>

He once fought against Ali Buge and put down Li Fen's rebellion, which can be said to be a great achievement!

In the eleventh year of the Yuan Dynasty (1274), he and Boyan were appointed Prime Minister Zuo of Zhongshu, and led the army to conquer the Southern Song Dynasty. When they arrived in Yingzhou, they returned north due to illness.

The next year, he died of illness in Zhending at the age of seventy-four. He was given the posthumous title of "Zhongwu" as a posthumous title to the Taiwei, Taishi, and King of Zhenyang.

Shi Tianze had a great talent, a clear understanding of philosophy, knew the times and situations, and was able to adapt to changing circumstances.

Whenever there is a major event or disaster, or when discussing major political affairs, we must resolutely take responsibility for the world, sacrifice ourselves for the country, respect the Lord and protect the people as our principles, and never pursue personal wealth and power.

Be resourceful and decisive, use troops according to the enemy's situation, advocate attacking the heart first, and refrain from killing and plundering.

It is said in history that "he has been in and out of generals for fifty years without any doubts at the top and no complaints at the bottom." He has been compared to Guo Ziyi and Cao Bin.

Kublai Khan, the founder of the Yuan Dynasty, once commented on Shi Tianze: "Since my ancestors, you have been carrying armor and walking across the mountains and rivers, and you have exerted a lot of power. You are also the leader of the southern expedition. In the future, your success will be achieved because of your strength."
p>

Wang Yun, a statesman of the Yuan Dynasty, even praised him unstintingly: "The Duke was loyal and loyal, and he came and went for nearly fifty years. He was a hero of great virtue and a pillar of the four dynasties. He had hundreds of teachers and examples. He was almost as good as the ministers of the ancient society. He was very powerful."

Appearance is random, if you do nothing."

"When it comes to major events, discussing major political affairs, and facing great disasters, we should resolutely take responsibility for the world. We must be loyal to the country, respect the Lord and protect the people, and handle it with utmost sincerity."

"He regards wealth and power, and is afraid to avoid it. If he will do anything to himself, his good deeds will end in Guo Fenyang. His talent is broad, his knowledge is clear, and he is rooted in nature."

It is not surprising that Shi Tianze has such a historical evaluation. After all, he served the Yuan Dynasty for fifty years and made great contributions to the Yuan Dynasty in the battle to destroy the Jin Dynasty and attack the Song Dynasty, which greatly promoted the unification of the Yuan Dynasty.

At the same time, Shi Tianze was familiar with official administration, treated the people well, promoted the improvement of the political system of the Yuan Dynasty, and was a famous prime minister.

In addition, Shi Tianze was not greedy for power, and took the initiative to hand over military power, which stabilized the rule of the Yuan Dynasty, won the trust of the Yuan Shizu, and became a wise minister with great achievements and no scruples in government and opposition. He can be called the Yuan Dynasty version of Guo Ziyi.

Hence the evaluation.

【Please host to choose!!!】

"Remove Arich and Yi Zhixie, and summon from the other three."

[Ding dong, congratulations to the host for getting the famous general in the early Yuan Dynasty, Shi Tianze, commander: 97, force: 101, intelligence: 93, politics: 95, charm: 92;

Implanted identity: A member of the Bingzhou Shi family, the son of Yanmen Colonel Shi Bingzhi, now joins the Sky Guard and has won the trust of the host.

There are 6 people carrying the characters, namely: Shi Bingzhi, Shi Jindao, Shi Tianni, Shi Tianan, Shi Tianxiang, and Shi Huaide;]

[Ding dong, since Shi Tianze is only seventeen years old, his five-dimensional attributes have not yet reached their historical peak. The current five-dimensional attributes are commander: 92, force: 95, intelligence: 82, politics: 83, charm: 80;]

After seeing Shi Tianze being summoned, a trace of complexity flashed in Wang Yu's eyes.

In the history books of the Yuan Dynasty and celebrities of all dynasties, Shi Tianze's evaluation is extremely high. After all, he has achieved both general and ministerial status. Looking at ancient and modern times, it is also relatively rare.

But among the people, Shi Tianze's reputation is not that good, because many people classify Shi Tianze as a "traitor".

This is also the biggest controversy surrounding Shi Tianze's life.

No matter at that time or now, there was endless discussion about this matter, with two sides standing and arguing endlessly.

The so-called traitor refers to someone who originally sided with the Han people but surrendered to the enemy for various reasons and helped the enemy deal with his own people.

It is defined in Baidu Encyclopedia as: "Originally it refers to the scum of the Han people who betray the interests of the Han people, and later it is extended to the traitors who betray the interests of China."

The most common time for this statement was during the Anti-Japanese War. Even in many anti-Japanese dramas today, the role of the traitor is indispensable.

As a historical celebrity, Shi Tianze's judgment as a "traitor" has been debated endlessly. The most important thing is that despite his great achievements, he did surrender from the Han camp to the Mongols.

But if analyzed carefully, this reason is simply untenable.

Due to the chaotic situation at that time, the Liao, Jin and Meng Dynasties confronted the Song Dynasty successively, and the Jin Dynasty still occupied the capital of the Song Dynasty.

Many Han people have lived under the regimes of other countries several generations ago. After a long period of adjustment, these people no longer belong to the category of "traitors".

The Shi family where Shi Tianze belongs is one of them. Don't forget, their family is from Zhuozhou, Hebei Province. This place has been the territory of the Jin people since the Jingkang Disgrace.

In other words, Shi Tianze's family did not eat a grain of rice from his Zhao family. Besides, not everyone is like Xin Qiji and is willing to abandon his family and career for his own ideals!

Therefore, because Shi Tianze had been in the area occupied by the Jin people, and the monarchs and ministers of the Song Dynasty were almost useless, they only knew how to stay in a corner, which allowed Temujin to conquer the northern land.

So, as a smart person, you should naturally choose what is best for your family!

Therefore, the name Shi Tianze, a traitor, should not exist at all.

As for him defecting to Mongolia and accompanying the army to attack the Southern Song Dynasty, it was his responsibility as a general. As the old saying goes, everyone is his own master. When Shi Tianze lived under the Mongols, he would naturally obey their orders.

When Mongolia attacked the Southern Song Dynasty, Shi Tianze wanted to fight with him.

However, unlike the foreigners who committed massacres, Shi Tianze would not issue orders to massacre the city when attacking the city. At the same time, when many Mongol Empire generals wanted to massacre the city as a warning, Shi Tianze would always come out to dissuade, stop the killing, and save lives.

Countless people.

If it weren't for Shi Tianze's existence, the number of Han people who died because of the war would have at least doubled.

Who today accuses Shi Tianze of being a traitor and responds with cold words to him? Who can be sure that their ancestors did not die because of Shi Tianze’s persuasion?

If there really is, without Shi Tianze’s existence, where would you be?

From another perspective, Shi Tianze later became a civil servant and an able minister in governing the world.

The Mongol Empire was a horse nation and a warlike nation.

The grassland peoples all have one thing in common, which is conquest.

To attack the Jin Kingdom, the Song Dynasty, and even the vast territory of Europe, the Mongol Empire needed a lot of material reserves.

Although the follow-up war basically relied on plundering local supplies, the starting supplies still came from the poor farmers in the Central Plains.

At that time, the taxes in the Yuan Dynasty were extremely heavy and ordinary people were miserable. Shi Tianze generously donated money to help everyone. Then he put the issue of tax management on the agenda, implemented light corvees and thin taxes, and gradually restored the economy in the areas that had suffered during the war.
So from this point of view, Shi Tianze cannot be compared to Fan Wencheng, a real traitor.

Besides, Wang Yu is determined to build a great Chinese empire with fifty-six ethnic groups, so he will not let go of these foreigners, or those who have served under foreigners, as long as they are not morally defective.

Passed.

Don’t forget, Wang Meng, prime minister of the former Qin Dynasty, Zhang Bin, counselor of the later Zhao Dynasty and other outstanding figures were all Han people who took refuge with ethnic minorities!

Therefore, if Wang Yu treats these people with narrow nationalism, then looking at the entire history, there are several people who are innocent.

Therefore, the complexity in Wang Yu's heart dissipated in the blink of an eye.

With the birth of Shi Tianze, all the identities of these carrying figures flooded into Wang Yu's mind.

The Shi family was originally a Hebei aristocratic family, but due to exploitation by the local aristocratic families, with the help of the Wang family, they were able to move to Bingzhou and become a Bingzhou aristocratic family.

And, with the support of the Wang family, it became a first-class family in Bingzhou.

Nowadays, there are quite a lot of powerful families in Bingzhou. To sum up, one can be very powerful!

A top family, Taiyuan Wang family!

Several first-class families, and some quasi-first-class families.

As for the historian, due to the accumulation of knowledge over the years, its strength has reached the level of a first-class family.

"System, use random summoning cards to summon." After the system summoned Shi Tianze's family, Wang Yu continued to issue summoning instructions to the system.
