The video takes us to ancient times; Li Er transforms into the Tongtian Emperor of Shu Han.

"You can lose, but how can you admit defeat!"

"I admit that Xiang Yu was indeed brave, and Han Xin was quite skilled in warfare, but so what?"

Is that why he was convinced?

"Can't we just raise more supplies and funds, and regroup our troops to launch a counterattack?"

"Even before my Great Qing Dynasty took control of the Central Plains, the people of the Central Plains have always been the most fearful of my Great Qing Dynasty!"

"Think about how powerful the Ming Dynasty was, yet every time it was plundered by our Qing cavalry, didn't it have to obediently bow its head and admit defeat?"

The more Emperor Qianlong scolded, the angrier he became, and the angrier he became, the more he wanted to scold.

If the successive defeats had caused Dorgon to completely disgrace the Qing Dynasty, then...

The scene of Dorgon sincerely expressing his willingness to submit on the sky and in front of everyone completely exposed the Qing Dynasty's true colors!

Even if you admit it in your heart, you can't admit it out loud!

"What else can we do if we don't admit defeat?"

"From outsmarting each other to outmaneuvering each other, and then to outmaneuvering each other, we were completely crushed in every way."

He couldn't outwit Han Xin, couldn't outfight Xiang Yu, and in the end, he was utterly defeated by Li Dingguo even in a fight of ruthlessness.

Dorgon's lofty ambitions vanished in an instant during his short journey through the Central Plains.

He now has probably only one thought left in his mind.

No wonder so many predecessors obediently bowed down and submitted to the Central Plains dynasties.

If he had made the same choice from the beginning, would there have been no such defeat, and would so many Qing warriors have been spared from dying far from home?

"It's not just being crushed; the moment he sets foot on the battlefield, he instantly becomes Han Xin's puppet."

"He would obediently do whatever Han Xin wanted him to do."

This is the most terrifying aspect of being enemies with Han Xin.

He can easily deduce how you will react to his next move based on your past performance.

Incidentally, he will make the next steps based on his deductions.

No matter the situation, he can always see two or even three steps ahead.

Faced with such an enemy, let alone Dorgon feeling desperate and suffocated, most other normal commanders would have been crushed in the same way when they encountered Han Xin.

Only the most elite generals could truly challenge Han Xin in military strategy and tactics.

But it is clear that Dorgon was far from being among the most outstanding.

Li Er thought about it and realized that if he were on this battlefield, he would probably be able to do much better than Dorgon.

Although there's still not much certainty of winning, there's also no guarantee of losing.

But he is the Supreme General of the Heavenly Strategy. There is no other military genius in this world, and there will never be another Supreme General of the Heavenly Strategy!

"To be honest, Dorgon in this state is no different from being dead."

"As for his claim that they should return to their old ways of plundering the borders to survive, I can only say that he is delusional."

"Do they really think Emperor Gaozu was the same great Ming Dynasty that was beset by internal and external troubles?"

Zhu Di sneered.

During his time, the major tribes outside the Great Wall, including the remnants of the Yuan Dynasty, could only be suppressed by him to the point that they dared not even raise their heads to fight.

Han Xin and Xiang Yu would only be more radical than him!

With two such capable generals leading the charge, how could Dorgon possibly get what he wanted?

They were still hoping to return to the borderlands, continue plundering the people there, and then submit to the Central Plains dynasty once the situation stabilized.

"Putting everything else aside, those who have the blood of ordinary people on their hands must pay for their crimes in blood!"

How many of those who slaughtered civilians in the past came to a good end?

Even though he, Boss Cao, had done it himself, he still admitted it.

Sima's eventual usurpation of the Wei dynasty was perhaps divine punishment for his massacre of the people.

Since Heaven doesn't punish the Manchus for the blood debt they committed, Liu Bang should bring them the same punishment!

"Hey, Cao Cao, you know I usually don't agree with you, but this time, I think you're right."

Even Liu Bei, who was known for his benevolence, said that it was only right for blood debts to be repaid in blood.

Repaying resentment with virtue, why repay virtue?

Moreover, if we want to civilize the barbarians, the first thing we must do is let them know the might of Heaven!

Even before Zhuge Liang educated the southern barbarians, he had already captured Meng Huo seven times!

"Let's win first and talk about the rest!"

Watching these people discuss the fate of the Qing Dynasty in the upcoming challenges, Emperor Qianlong could barely keep his teeth clenched.

"It's not over yet!"

"Zhang Xianzhong is not dead, and Li Dingguo is still alive. Once the Great Western Army returns to Sichuan, they will become a tough nut to crack!"

"With Liu Bang's small army, even if they could unite against our Great Qing, who knows what would happen when he attacked Shu!"

The Qing Dynasty has already lost, and in this challenge, Dorgon has completely surrendered and is unlikely to take any further action to resist.

With his underwear gone, he could only pin his hopes on his former formidable adversaries to stop Liu Bang's unification of the country.

At least you have to cover your last shred of dignity with your hands!

"Moreover, the Ming Dynasty only moved south; it didn't really perish!"

"Although I don't want to admit it, the majority of the people in the Central Plains still yearn for the Ming Dynasty. Even though the Ming Dynasty has been gone for so many years, there are still people who shout for the overthrow of the Qing and the restoration of the Ming!"

"Don't assume Liu Bang has definitely won; he's in for a lot of trouble!"

The Ming Dynasty has been gone for so many years, yet there are still people who oppose the Qing and seek to restore the Ming?

Are those people crazy?

Old Zhu was stunned.

While the Ming Dynasty was still in power, everyone rose up in rebellion against it.

So now that the Ming Dynasty is gone, a bunch of people are starting to feel nostalgic, right?

But he soon reacted.

Why did some people immediately oppose the Qing and seek to restore the Ming after the fall of the Ming Dynasty?

That's mostly because without comparison, there's no harm done.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, uprisings against the Ming occurred everywhere because the people felt that the court was not giving them a way to survive. Under the rule of the Ming Dynasty, everyone was starving.

On the contrary, the high-ranking officials and nobles in the imperial court were all fat and bloated.

Are they wrong to want to fill their stomachs and overthrow the Ming Dynasty?

At least in Lao Zhu's opinion, he was right.

Their mistake was that they failed to persevere to the end, or rather, they shouldn't have allowed the Manchus to take over the Central Plains after overthrowing the Ming Dynasty!

Originally, they were just hungry and at risk of starving to death.

After the Manchus entered the Central Plains, they found that they still couldn't get enough to eat, and even under these circumstances, they had to be treated like livestock to work.

There's even the occasional risk of being cooked and fed to others.

Such a life is far more miserable than that at the end of the Ming Dynasty!

Once they realized this, how could the various rebel armies not shout "Overthrow the Qing and restore the Ming"?

At least those bloated and corrupt officials at the end of the Ming Dynasty would still talk about disaster relief.

When it was the Qing Dynasty's powerful officials, they simply seized land and turned countless people from commoners into slaves.

It's quite easy to tell which is better and which is worse!
