Nurhaci was completely bewildered!
He hadn't even processed what was happening when a fist the size of a sandbag slammed into his face.
"Stop!"
"Quick, stop!"
"I didn't do any of those things he's talking about!"
"........."
But no matter how much he struggled, Emperor Gaozu of Han had no intention of stopping.
Not only that, but Zhu Yuanzhang also lunged forward.
Halfway there, he had already heard Zhu Youjian explain that the Great Ming had been lost to the rebels and the Jurchens.
Now, hearing how the Jurchens were slaughtering the people of the Great Ming, how could he stand idly by?
Soon, Qin Shi Huang also came to his senses.
Were the people of the Han Dynasty not descendants of his own Qin people?
Damn it!
"Beat him!"
He shouted at Zhao Kuangyin and then was the first to pounce.
The scene instantly turned chaotic, and Nurhaci felt incredibly wronged.
"Stop hitting me!"
"These things he's talking about, they really have nothing to do with me!"
"Zhu Youjian, what are you still dazed for!"
"Why don't you step forward and prove it for me!"
"I haven't even entered Shanhai Pass yet, how could I have slaughtered Han citizens?"
He shielded his head with his hands, curling his body into a ball as much as possible, and loudly called out to Zhu Youjian for help.
Zhan Tianyou, who was standing nearby, was also a bit stunned. He had only thrown two punches before Emperor Gaozu of Han flung him aside. When he tried to squeeze back in, he found he couldn't get involved at all.
Hearing Nurhaci's defense, he immediately refuted.
"You didn't do it!"
"But it was your descendants who did these things!"
"A father's fault is in his son's upbringing!"
"If you can't catch Dorgon and Fulin, you'll have to suffer on their behalf!"
Nurhaci was beaten for more than ten minutes. In the end, the Heavenly Fire Army, who had brought them over, feared that someone might die and they wouldn't be able to explain it to Fang Er, so they stepped forward and forcibly separated everyone.
Liu Bang got up cursing, feeling like he hadn't had enough of a fight, but he still had to give face to the Heavenly Fire Army.
After all, unlike Qin Shi Huang, he wasn't formally invited!
He had been ambushed and tied up by Wang Xuance...
After the beating ended, Zhan Tianyou was once again forced to do his job and began to tell everyone about the history of China.
He didn't have as many reservations as Chongzhen, nor was there anything he dared not say.
The Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors began, Yao, Shun, and Yu passed down.
Xia, Shang, and Western Zhou, Eastern Zhou divided into two periods.
Spring and Autumn, Warring States, unified Qin and the two Han dynasties.
Wei, Shu, and Wu divided into three, followed by the two Jins.
The Northern and Southern dynasties coexisted, followed by Sui, Tang, and the Five Dynasties.
Song, Yuan, Ming, and Qing followed, completing the imperial dynasties.
The Dynasty Song he recited was summarized by the great scholars of the research institute and scientists from the Republic of China.
Such a long history could certainly not be finished in a year and a half if told in detail. He only chose to recount some more important events.
At the same time, he sent people to call others from different periods to provide corroboration.
Just as he was discussing the historical materials of the late Song and early Yuan dynasties, Zhao Kuangyin produced a chair leg from somewhere and smashed it at Genghis Khan.
"Barbarian, you stole my Zhao clan's empire, die!"
Genghis Khan seemed to have been anticipating this move. He leaned back slightly, dodging the blow.
Then, he kicked out his right foot, and Zhao Kuangyin's figure was sent flying backward.
Watching the old Zhao crash through the window and fall outside, Genghis Khan curled his lip in disdain.
"Want to fight?"
"Weigh your own strength first!"
"Haven't you heard this brother? Your Great Song already fell in the Northern Song! That was done by the Jin, what does it have to do with my Mongols?"
"By the time of the Southern Song, you were merely clinging to a corner of the land!"
"All of this is your own doing, you old Zhao family!"
"How many good generals you failed to cherish, only to consistently favor the civil over the military!"
"Were Yue Fei, Yang Jiye, Di Qing, Zhong Shidao, or any of the loyal generals skilled in military strategy not well-known?"
"I heard about them since I was young, but they protected your Zhao family's empire with their lives. How did your Zhao family treat them?"
Zhao Kuangyin's face flushed red at the scolding, but for a moment, he didn't know how to defend himself.
He himself had risen to power through a military rebellion, and he was most afraid of other generals following the same path.
Therefore, favoring the civil over the military was a state policy he had personally established!
He really wanted to jump up and fight Genghis Khan, but he chickened out...
In terms of martial prowess, he was no match for him.
"Hahahaha!"
Chongzhen, who was watching this scene, suddenly laughed ungenerously.
"What do you call this?"
"In King Kun's words, this is showing off but getting yourself screwed!"
Zhu Yuanzhang merely glanced at him indifferently, making no move.
He had already taken out that brick from his sleeve and was weighing it in his hand.
The empire of the Great Ming was taken from the Yuan Dynasty.
When the person in front of him finished speaking about the Song history, it would be time for the Yuan and Ming dynasties!
Zhan Tianyou did not keep him waiting for long and soon got to the point.
"It is said that in the late Yuan period, the court was tyrannical, natural disasters occurred frequently, and amidst the great chaos, various rebel armies rose up!"
"After years of war, the Central Plains finally returned to the hands of the Han people."
"And all of this is thanks to Zhu Yuanzhang, who started as a beggar!"
Genghis Khan instantly turned to look at Zhu Yuanzhang: "Is he talking about you?"
Zhu Yuanzhang, with a look of vigilance, stood up, holding his brick.
"That's right, it was me!"
"Do you want to fight?"
Genghis Khan, however, made a surprising move. He pointed to the chair Zhu Yuanzhang had just vacated and said.
"Sit, sit, sit!"
"The Central Plains were originally yours, the Han people. It is the will of Eternal Heaven that you took it back."
"I, this Khan, never ruled the Central Plains; it was my descendants who did."
"Therefore, I don't care about all of this at all."
After saying this, he paused for a moment and spoke leisurely towards the west.
"This Khan only wants to know, to whom did the lands my Mongol cavalry once tread return, after my death!"
Zhan Tianyou's eyes widened.
Only now did he fully understand the identities of these people.
Holy cow!
Is this a mixed gathering of emperors from different dynasties?
What does King Kun intend to do by bringing them all here?
Genghis Khan, seeing him pause, impatiently urged, "Don't just stand there, continue speaking!"
"After you finish talking about the Central Plains, tell this Khan about the Western Regions!"
"Yes, yes, yes!"
Zhan Tianyou dared not refuse and quickly continued his historical lecture.
Important matters were explained simply, and simple matters were glossed over. With this narrative style, they quickly reached the late Ming and early Qing dynasties!
Zhu Yuanzhang, who had sat back down, pricked up his ears, afraid of missing any important information.
When he heard that Nurhaci had risen in Liaodong with eighteen suits of armor, the brick flew out of his hand instantly.
"Bang!"
Unexpectedly, it hit Chongzhen in the face!
"I'll beat you to death, you unfilial descendant!"
"So it turns out the Great Ming was defeated by the two of you!"
"See if I don't beat you to death!"
Nurhaci: ???
Holy cow, you scared me to death...
