Li Shimin
Li Shimin lived in a noble family. At the age of 18, he followed his father to rebel against the Sui Dynasty, led the three armies, and made the number one military contribution for the Tang Dynasty to unify the country. He then became the second emperor of , of the Tang Dynasty, known in history as Taizong. The leaders of the northern grassland ethnic group, Turkic , have been peeping at the fertile fields of the Central Plains for thousands of miles. When Emperor Taizong was not yet stable, they personally led 200,000 cavalry to threaten the Chang'an . The troops were at the city, and the Tang Dynasty fell into storm.
At the critical moment of life and death of the country and nation, Li Shimin, who was strong by nature, was calm and was not surprised by the chaos and personally led his army to repel the powerful enemy. Then Li Shimin judged the situation, and opposed the opposition, and made a difficult choice to make peace with the powerful Turks in exchange for the time of the country's birth and development, thus preventing the country and nation from the danger of destruction and extermination.
with great ambitions and a tough personality Tang Taizong is determined to lead the military subjects to revitalize Tang as soon as possible, eliminate the Turks that have dominated the north for many years, realize national unification, and revitalize the grand ceremony of the Han Dynasty. In the next three years, Li Shimin slept on firewood and worked hard to govern. On the one hand, he developed production and strengthened national strength, and on the other hand, he strengthened military training and improved the combat effectiveness of the Tang army, creating a cavalry that could compete with the Turkic cavalry.
The Tang Dynasty's counterattack against the desert heroes finally started. According to Li Shimin's careful plan, an elite cavalry with super combat capabilities detoured thousands of miles behind the Turkic army to launch a raid. The soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, full of enthusiasm for serving the country, shared the same hatred for the enemy and won a great victory. With extraordinary courage and military talents, Emperor Taizong of Tang defeated the powerful nomadic peoples in the north in one fell swoop, realizing the great unification of the country.
After the war, in order to quickly move the country to the track of peaceful construction, Taizong tried his best to abandon hatred and implement a policy of ethnic unity. He boldly migrated hundreds of thousands of nomadic tribes in the famine to the mainland, allocated fertile fields to them to cultivate, and allowed nomadic tribes to survive.
This large-scale population migration saved the people on the grassland. They were deeply infected by Emperor Taizong of Tang's broad mind of loving all ethnic groups. The contradictions accumulated by the wars over the past few hundred years have been resolved. The children of all ethnic groups live in harmony within the vast territory of the Tang Dynasty, jointly build an Eastern power, and further realize the great integration of the nation.
