[Noble Phantasm Description (True Name Release):]
[Upon unleashing its true name, the imagery of 'slaying the white serpent' will reappear, inflicting massive damage on the enemy; simultaneously, when this Noble Phantasm is activated, it will create the territory of 'Han,' boosting the morale of allies and imposing a psychological pressure of 'the mandate of heaven has been lost' on the enemy.]
This panel looks quite luxurious!
Especially the "Foundation of Humanity" and "Knowing People and Appointing Them" skills, they feel like strategic-level capabilities.
The description of the Noble Phantasm's effect doesn't seem very strong.
However, that's not important. We'll only know how effective the Noble Phantasm is after we use it.
As a treasure of Emperor Gaozu of Han (Liu Bang), it's no surprise that its power was considerable.
just
“I’m not surprised by Luck EX, after all, he was an emperor, and an emperor at that age.”
"But how come your strength, endurance, and agility are all at B level?"
“You are not a military general known for your personal bravery.”
Su Yunqing was not surprised by Liu Bang's EX-level luck. It was impossible for him to have bad luck, given that he could have risen from a minor official in Pei County to the emperor in just a few years.
But how come Liu Bang also achieved a B in strength, endurance, and agility?
Don't think that B is not high. Many generals who have made a name for themselves in history only had this level of stats; even some top Servants are not much different in these aspects.
You know Gilgamesh, right? He only had this number in these three categories.
Can Liu Bang and Gilgamesh be compared? He was a hybrid of human and god.
Liu Bang was not surprised by this.
"Isn't this normal?"
"Do you think I managed to get Fan Kuai and Xiahou Ying to follow me willingly back in Pei County?"
"Just talk?"
"Back then, as a village head, catching thieves, mediating fights, and escorting laborers—everything required physical strength. Without some power and skill, you would have been overpowered by those hooligans long ago."
"Back in the days of the prefectures and counties, when it came to fighting, even three or five people couldn't easily get close to me!"
"Later, I committed a crime and fled to Mangdang Mountain. That was the real test."
“In the desolate mountains and wilderness, not to mention snakes, insects, tigers and leopards, we also had to be wary of Qin soldiers searching for us; we ate in the wind and slept in the open, crossed mountains and ridges, and it was common to go several days without a full meal.”
"Without exceptional physical strength and endurance, I would have fallen ill or been captured long ago; back then, I even fought with wild wolves for a bite to eat."
"As for agility."
"You people of later generations call me Liu Paopao, so of course I'm agile."
Su Yunqing was stunned for a moment, but after thinking about it carefully, she realized that it made sense.
How could someone who could raise an army during the chaos at the end of the Qin Dynasty, fight repeatedly despite setbacks, and eventually conquer the world be a weak scholar who couldn't even kill a chicken?
His physical abilities must have been tested in harsh living environments.
No, wait a minute, saying "fighting on despite repeated defeats" doesn't seem entirely accurate either.
Liu Bang only appeared particularly pathetic when he fought against that monster Xiang Yu, winning more often than he lost.
But his opponent was Xiang Yu!
That overlord who could charge in and out of thousands of Han soldiers with only twenty-eight riders!
To survive and repeatedly regroup in the face of such an extraordinary existence is an extraordinary skill in itself.
His win rate against other opponents is actually quite impressive.
It's just that because his opponent was Xiang Yu, whose defeat was so famous, coupled with Han Xin's brilliance, people subconsciously overlook his victories over others.
Su Yunqing shook her head, not delving into the delicate balance involved.
Historical evaluations are always complex, and what stands before her now is a heroic figure, not the real Liu Bang.
"Let's leave it at that for now. I also need to contact Qin Hongtian and the others to see who they summoned."
"We're preparing to encircle and annihilate Liu Hongxuan."
In the chat group, everyone also "watched" the summoning ceremony and learned who the heroic spirit Su Yunqing summoned was.
But precisely because I knew it, I was somewhat surprised.
The Nine Sons of Qin: "Was it Liu Bang who was summoned?"
The Nine Sons of Qin: "You have indeed summoned the spirit of Xiang Yu, who, in a sense, truly 'defeated' him."
Ying Zinian said with some emotion.
He truly hadn't expected that the heroic spirit summoned by Su Yunqing would actually be Liu Bang, the founder of the Han Dynasty.
Himouto! Umaru-chan: "Liu Bang was the emperor who succeeded the Qin Dynasty and established the Han Dynasty, right?"
There was a hint of hesitation in Umaru's tone.
After all, Ying Zinian is the seventh prince of the Qin Empire, and the First Emperor is also in the chat group.
Discussing the founders of the Han Dynasty is somewhat sensitive.
The Nine Princes of Qin: "That is indeed the case, but there is no need for that. Both my father and I have nothing but admiration for Emperor Gaozu of Han."
Ying Zinian chuckled as she read Xiao Mai's words.
Ying Zinian harbored no narrow-minded hostility or resentment towards Liu Bang, the "enemy" who ended the Qin Empire and established the Han Dynasty that lasted for four hundred years.
Putting aside the fact that he himself was a time traveler who knew the whole picture of history, even his father, Qin Shi Huang Ying Zheng, could only admire Liu Bang after reading the history after the Qin Dynasty.
First and foremost, it has epoch-making significance in setting a new benchmark for achievements.
Liu Bang was the first emperor in Chinese history to rise from humble beginnings to lead a peasant uprising, eventually ascending the throne and establishing a long-lasting, stable, unified dynasty.
Under the Qin system, the village head was not a nobleman, nor even a formal official; he was closer to a clerk and was naturally considered a commoner.
He truly realized Chen Sheng and Wu Guang's famous saying, "Are kings and nobles born with a special destiny?" He broke the deeply entrenched pattern of hereditary aristocracy monopolizing supreme power since the Xia, Shang, and Zhou dynasties, and ushered in a new era of "commoners becoming generals and ministers."
This breakthrough in social mobility, with its symbolic significance and potential impact on social mobility in later generations, cannot be overstated.
Secondly, regarding its foundational contributions to Chinese civilization, Ying Zinian clearly understands that the Qin Dynasty in history was inferior to the Han Dynasty.
Although the First Emperor standardized writing, cart axles, and ethical norms, laying the foundation for territorial expansion, his reign was ultimately short-lived, and his laws were harsh, causing the foundation of his rule to become unstable in the later years of his reign.
If he were still alive, he could naturally suppress everything for the time being; but he died, and the Qin Dynasty perished after only two generations.
The Han Dynasty established by Liu Bang not only "inherited the Qin system" in terms of institutions, but also inherited the effective centralized framework created by the Qin Dynasty, such as the prefecture-county system and the Three Dukes and Nine Ministers.
More importantly, its policy of "allowing the people to rest and recuperate" eased social conflicts, stabilized the regime, and consolidated and continued the unified state.
The Han Dynasty lasted for four hundred years, and its name "Han" gradually evolved into a name for a nation, a language, and a cultural system.
"Han nationality", "Chinese language", "Han culture".
It can be said that the Han civilization, which was consolidated and developed by Liu Bang and his successors, truly shaped the basic form and core identity of Chinese civilization for the next two thousand years.
This foundational work, which bridges the past and the future, cannot be ignored.
Furthermore, there was Liu Bang's exemplary wisdom in employing people and his charismatic leadership.
The famous statement came to Ying Zinian's mind:
"In devising strategies within the tent and securing victory a thousand miles away, I am inferior to Zhang Liang; in governing the state, pacifying the people, providing supplies, and ensuring uninterrupted supply lines, I am inferior to Xiao He; in commanding an army of a million, ensuring victory in every battle and conquest in every attack, I am inferior to Han Xin."
The ability to so clearly recognize one's own shortcomings, to unhesitatingly utilize talents who are far superior to oneself in certain aspects, and to enable them to give full play to their abilities and form a powerful synergy, is itself the most brilliant leadership.
Zhang Liang was a fallen nobleman, Xiao He was a county official, Chen Ping had the infamy of "stealing his sister-in-law and accepting money" but was given an important position, Fan Kuai was a butcher, Zhou Bo was a musician, and Han Xin was a commoner who had suffered the humiliation of crawling between someone's legs.
Liu Bang's ability to overcome prejudices and prejudices to gather and manage such a group of people demonstrates his exceptional magnanimity and keen eye for talent.
In any era, the key to achieving great things lies in "gathering people" and "using people effectively," and Liu Bang almost perfected this.
In the Battle of Pengcheng, an army of 560,000 was routed by Xiang Yu's 30,000 elite cavalry. Fathers and wives were captured. What a miserable defeat!
If it were someone else, they might have already given up.
However, Liu Bang was able to quickly gather his defeated troops, stabilize his position, and retreat to the Xingyang-Chenggao line, where he engaged in a long-term standoff with Xiang Yu.
Despite being at a significant disadvantage, he maintained strategic initiative, sending Han Xin to open up the northern battlefield and uniting with other warlords such as Peng Yue and Ying Bu to constantly harass Xiang Yu's rear, ultimately turning the strategic situation around little by little.
This resilience—the ability to withstand setbacks, never be worn down, and always seize opportunities to recover or even fight back—is an essential quality for those who achieve great things.
Before Ying Zinian traveled through time, someone raised a question.
If all the emperors in Chinese history were placed in the same chaotic era, who would be most likely to win the world?
In terms of the overall advantages of an era, later dynasties often have a late-mover advantage in technology, economy, institutional details, and even military equipment.
The emperors of the Tang, Song, Ming, and Qing dynasties, at their peak, brought with them the resources and technology of their time, delivering a devastating blow that the preceding dynasties simply could not withstand.
But if we strip away these external conditions and bring everyone back to almost the same starting line.
For example, they both came from humble backgrounds as commoners or low-ranking officials, and faced similar fragmented times and resource-scarce initial environments.
This question becomes exceptionally interesting and puts one's abilities to the test.
In numerous discussions and deductions about this issue, Liu Bang's name appears with extremely high frequency.
It even appeared more frequently than another emperor who also started his great career from humble beginnings, Zhu Yuanzhang, the Hongwu Emperor of the Ming Dynasty.
Of course, Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu's name is often mentioned; but since everyone's talking about Liu Xiu, what else is there to say? I'll just give it to you.
However, without considering factors such as "great magician" or "chosen one," Liu Bang and Zhu Yuanzhang are the more frequently compared and debated figures.
From Ying Zinian's perspective, he felt that Liu Bang's chances of ultimately winning the empire were slightly higher than Zhu Yuanzhang's.
The title "Great Han Succubus" is no joke.
He possesses a magnanimous, discerning, and somewhat "rogue" yet not off-putting quality.
Liu Bang's down-to-earth nature and "unconventional behavior" allowed him to naturally eliminate the psychological distance between himself and these grassroots heroes, disillusioned scholars, and even "those who had been convicted of crimes," quickly becoming one with them and establishing a "brotherly bond."
He could win the heart of the proud Zhang Liang, persuade the greedy and lustful Chen Ping to offer his brilliant strategies, and make the "husband who crawls between someone's legs" Han Xin feel the warmth of "national territory".
This ability to attract and manage "extraordinary people" was invaluable in the early, chaotic times when talent determined everything.
Zhu Yuanzhang was also a very charismatic leader, but he had not yet reached the point of being a succubus of the Ming Dynasty.
But ultimately, none of the founding emperors lacked personal charisma.
There is no truly acceptable "outcome".
The First Emperor: "Indeed."
Ying Zheng also said this in the chat group.
The First Emperor said: "Liu Bang was a man who could gather and employ people with ease, and he was able to withstand defeat without collapsing. His wisdom from the streets and his imperial skills were indistinguishable. He acted only to achieve practical results and was not bound by empty fame."
The First Emperor said: "Such people, if born at the right time, can certainly achieve great things; even if born at the wrong time, they are not destined to be ordinary."
The First Emperor said: "Since I know the rise and fall of future dynasties, I will not be bound by future grudges."
The First Emperor said, "How can we abandon such talents who are good at gathering people, capable of handling affairs, and adept at adapting to changing circumstances, just because they were once enemies?"
The First Emperor said: "Fusu is benevolent, but he is too lenient and lacks resourcefulness. He is easily misled by empty talk and trapped by pedantic scholars. I have appointed Liu Bang as his teacher, so that he can learn the essence of 'pragmatism,' 'comprehensiveness,' and 'knowing people' to make up for his shortcomings and temper his mind."
For Ying Zheng, who had already joined the chat group, knew the original course of history, and personally reversed it, what happened in the "future" was nothing more than old events that occurred on another branch of time that he had never set foot on.
What he holds onto is his "present" and "future".
Whether it was Liu Bang or Xiang Yu, in his eyes they were both "talents" who could be used.
Since they have not truly raised the banner of rebellion in this world, he will naturally not discard them as long as they are willing to submit and serve him; on the contrary, he will make the best use of their talents.
Liu Bang was a man who knew how to seize opportunities. Almost the instant he understood the First Emperor's will, he readily agreed to comply.
Or rather, before the collapse of the Qin Dynasty, he was a village head under the Qin government, and obeying Ying Zheng's orders was only natural.
Therefore, Ying Zheng appointed him as Fusu's teacher, essentially as a psychological mentor.
After joining the chat group, I learned about the future. Ying Zheng's upbringing of Fusu, or rather, of the princes and princesses of Qin, was based on the standards of that future era.
Literature, mathematics, physics, chemistry, and astronomy are basically all included.
As for whether such a heavy academic workload will leave them exhausted?
Ying Zheng never had any doubts about this.
As the crown prince of the Great Qin, he bears the future of the empire, enjoys the offerings of the people, and shoulders immense responsibilities. What are a little bit of academic hardship compared to that?
Since they have enjoyed the treatment they deserve in this position, they must bear the corresponding responsibilities.
Moreover, the Great Qin has already embarked on the path of cultivation, and Fusu's body has long been strengthened, so he only needs to sleep for one hour a day to recover.
There's absolutely no need to worry about getting tired.
