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

"You don't really think that after the founding of the Ming Dynasty, so many people would still want to restore the Ming Dynasty, do you?"

"Why did so many anti-Qing and pro-Ming uprisings spring up across the country at the very beginning of the Qing Dynasty? Haven't you ever considered the reasons?"

Old Zhu said he couldn't understand it at all.

Indeed, throughout history, many dynasties have been overthrown shortly after their establishment.

But in a truly unified dynasty, as long as the emperor isn't too incompetent and doesn't make any bizarre decisions, it's possible to achieve this.

At least there wouldn't be widespread rebellions in the early years of the dynasty.

A more prominent example would be Hu Hai and Yang Guang.

However, these two were clearly courting disaster.

He squandered the nation's strength to the point of near collapse, and the people's quality of life declined sharply.

In addition, the surrounding area is not stable.

During Hu Hai's reign, the remnants of the six former states were eyeing the country covetously. Even if he had been diligent and made no mistakes, let alone made repeated errors, the Qin Dynasty might not have been so stable.

Not to mention that, under Zhao Gao's deception, he actually believed that he had secured the throne and acted recklessly in all sorts of ways.

The fall of the Qin Dynasty is understandable.

As for Yang Guang, his three campaigns against Goguryeo cost the people and the nation countless resources, but in the end he returned empty-handed and even suffered a major defeat.

In addition, Yang Jian's methods of acquiring the country were not exactly aboveboard, and countless people coveted his Yang family's empire.

When public resentment was rising, various warlords seized the opportunity to rise up and overthrow the Sui Dynasty.

There are patterns.

First, there was widespread public discontent, then there were powerful figures eyeing the throne, which in turn sparked a series of rebellions that were enough to sweep across the entire country.

But what about the Qing Dynasty?

The various warlords were all disorganized; some wanted to fight, some wanted to maintain their own corner of the country, and some even wanted to make peace.

Under such circumstances, the people were able to unite as one to resist foreign enemies.

Even though the Southern Ming Dynasty was already so frustrated, the call to overthrow the Qing and restore the Ming still received overwhelming support.

One can imagine what kind of lives the common people led under the rule of the Qing Dynasty.

It was far worse than at the end of the Ming Dynasty. If it were even slightly better, the people wouldn't care who was ruling the country.

They will firmly support whoever can help them survive and live a good life.

In the early Qing Dynasty, war broke out everywhere, and uprisings with the banner of overthrowing the Qing and restoring the Ming emerged in various places.

It took decades just to quell the rebellion.

Could this be considered a normal dynasty?

"It is precisely because of the contrast with the early Qing Dynasty that the people felt that even the life at the end of the Ming Dynasty was bearable."

"After all, although officials were corrupt at the end of the Ming Dynasty, at least the Ming emperors treated them as human beings, and officials did not dare to exploit them too openly."

"Do you think that if Emperor Gaozu had entered the Central Plains and created his glorious Han Dynasty, would there still be people who would rather give up their good life and instead want to restore the Ming Dynasty?"

Liu Che was amused by Qianlong's remarks.

If the Southern Ming ruler had been a man of great talent and ambition, then it would have been fine.

Unfortunately, the Southern Ming was also in chaos, with no one willing to submit to anyone else. The emperor couldn't even maintain his own power, let alone win the hearts of the people.

In this situation, you still have to be stubborn and say that they will rebel against Liu Bang and demand the restoration of the Ming Dynasty.

All Liu Che could say was that Qianlong was still living in a dream.

"There's no need to create any golden age. Just stop the war, open the granaries, and provide relief to the disaster victims, and all the rebellions will cease in an instant."

“In many places, Emperor Gaozu might not even need to resort to force; the people will naturally find ways to extend his rule.”

Although ordinary people are easily fooled, they can certainly tell who can make their lives better.

Comparing the living conditions on both sides, it became clear that Liu Bang was no longer needed.

They would naturally try every means to bring their hometown into Liu Bang's territory!

What happened next in the sky confirmed their guesses.

Zhang Xianzhong risked being surrounded to rush back and rescue Li Dingguo. After reuniting with Liu Wenxiu, he turned to face the enemy.

Although we have done our best to avoid the crisis of being attacked from behind by the pursuing enemy, it was still a fierce battle.

After all, the Qing army and the surrendered soldiers were separated from the beginning.

Even if Dorgon secretly left, they would hardly notice in a short time.

Even their morale remains quite high.

This fierce battle continued until Xiang Yu had cleaned up the battlefield and Han Xin had gradually wiped out all the Qing troops.

The moment the army surrounded them, both the surrendered soldiers of the Shun army who had submitted to the Manchus and Zhang Xianzhong were stunned.

Zhang Xianzhong was indeed determined to die to stop the Manchus from taking control of the Central Plains.

The problem is, he never expected that his entire army would be wiped out like this!

The Qing army failed to rebel and instead fell into an encirclement by their own people.

Who can I talk to to explain this?

"Where is your commander? I want to see him!"

"I led my troops from afar to reinforce you against the Qing army, and I even helped you block the most crucial enemy. Is this how you treat your reinforcements?"

Zhang Xianzhong immediately dropped his weapon and shouted.

Judging from the enemy's encirclement, there should be very few Qing soldiers left.

The problem is, if they really want to solve this problem once and for all at this point, then the ailing Great Western Army behind him will certainly not be able to hold out.

"Oh? So what do you want?"

After receiving the message from the messenger, Han Xin arrived at the front of the battle.

Seeing Zhang Xianzhong's indignant expression, he couldn't help but laugh.

"The campaign to annihilate the Qing army has come to an end!"

"Let us go back to Sichuan!"

Zhang Xianzhong answered without hesitation.

"Why do you think I should let you go back? As long as we get rid of your Great Western Army here, the world will be ours."

"Even if I let you go, the final outcome will be the same, so why should I go through all this trouble?"

Han Xin shook his head slightly.

He was not an indecisive and mediocre talent like Xiang Yu.

He usually doesn't drag things out to a second battle if he can achieve success in one.

Even if this person had just been used by him not long ago.

However, he forgot that indecisive people who cared about empty fame were right next to him.

"We can let you go back, and we can also let your soldiers go back."

"But you must promise that you will never leave Sichuan in your lifetime."

Xiang Yu, who arrived in a hurry, didn't wait for Zhang Xianzhong to speak, nor did he pay any attention to Han Xin. He just spoke to himself.

Han Xin: "?"

I hate teaming up with brainless people like that!

Where is His Majesty? His Majesty, please come and subdue this monster!

If Zhang Xianzhong were to return to Sichuan, it would take an unknown amount of time to retake the region.

Governing the world also takes time!

"Never leave Sichuan?"

"That won't work."

"I know that most of this world will eventually belong to you."

After leading his troops through this ordeal, Zhang Xianzhong finally understood.

It's still too difficult to lead them to conquer the world.

The problem of not being able to adapt to the new environment was something he couldn't solve.

But he refused to promise never to leave Sichuan!
