I mean... its a very underated superpower but extremely effective

It is a quality everyone can develop too.

China's greatest heroes always win their battle through the ability of shamelessness

Do you watch TVB the Conquerer story?

Killing that many is brutal. But killing POWs isn't uncommon at all. But still, forcing those human to work repaire infastructure and starve to death is way more benifitial. Killing them is a waste of free human resources

When *exactly???* And what went down???

@@shanedoesyoutube8001 Oh boy, a lot of shit happened diplomatically durring the Imjin war. But for allmost a decade diplomatic communication between Japan, Korea and China was, let us call it unreliable, basically diplomats and messengers would change the letters they where carrying, to make them more digestible for the reciepient, also translators would also Lie about the letters contest to avoid insulting their own leaders. (Toyotomi had a bad case of decapitate the messengers syndrome.) Problem was Toyotomis letters to Korea and China consisted mostly of threats like “surrender or die.” And what the Chinese and Korea thought was insane demands, he demanded a marriage alliance between Japan and China, that China opened all ports to Japanese trade, the southern half of Korea, and that Korea sent a prince as a hostage to Japan. The Chinese decided to allow Toyotomi to become a vasal King of the Chinese emperor and be allowed to send tribute to the emperor. And imperial mission was sent out to crown Toyotomi as a vasal king. When the mission arrived and crowned Toyotomi with the crown, robe, and seal of a Chinese vasal king. Toyotomi thought he was recieving tribute from the Chinese emperor, He walked around in the crown and robe for and entire day, celebrating like and idiot, until a buddhist monk honestly translated the Chinese written decreas to their new vasal ordering him “to cheerfully obey the orders of the Chinese emperor.” Toyotomi Hideoshis response was to launch the second invasion of Korea, a genocidal campaign meant to avenge the insults done to him by China and Korea.

Liu Bei certainly tried to emulate Liu Bang to a heavy degree and I'd say that Zhuge Liang was his PR manager / brand director. His plan to place Liu Bei at the Ba/Shu and Hanzhong region was an attempt to relive Liu Bang' climb back to power. Liu Bei's strongest asset was his "Brand" as a descendant of the Han and its loyalist. So I think Zhuge was really leaning on this side of Liu Bei. Actually, most of the rebellions by the regional kings happened after Liu Bang became emperor and the difference here was that Liu Bang was cunning enough to nip all potential rebels in the bud before they became too powerful.

@@CoolHistoryBros You're right. Liu Bang also reminds me of Toyotomi and Yohannes. But both Yohannes and Toyotomi directed their vassals or kings towards foreign conquest instead of inward fighting.

He's a legend. Love his work.

He was also casting Qin Shi Huang and Goujian of Yue

He received the title "Emperor Yi". But he was just an emperor in name only.

@@CoolHistoryBros So more just to have a rank to match Qin and add legitimacy. Got it, cheers!

@@caocao4731 I am wondering if it's not so much to match Qin but "set the clock back" as it were to Spring and Autumn with the the Chu Empire, with Chu being the cultural milestone and negotiator between states as the Zhou Emperors tended to be (in theory).

Thanks R. Syre. Actually, that's how Zhou is supposed to be said in Mandarin. By the way, here is an easy trick for non-mandarin speakers to know how the dynasty names are pronounced: 1. Copy the Chinese character (from your info page, wikipedia, etc.) 2. Paste it into google translate and press the speaker button to have it say the word. translate.google.com/

You’re right, it is more like “joe” and not “zo”. Some Chinese people, especially of Southern descent, have trouble pronouncing the Northern-influenced English-equivalent “j” sound present in Mandarin. Funny thing is, this happens to many Chinese Americans I know, who can pronounce English words like “job” or “joke” just fine, but call it the “Zou Dynasty” 😆

In pinyin Haan is Han in the third tone. Sometimes it is difficult to differentiate Hăn and Hàn for those who are not familiar with pinyin, so Haan is sometimes used as a solution for this.

Couldn't agree more

It's his normal voice dooh 🙄

What u mean distracting? If anything its make it more enjoyable to watch

BC that's his accents and he hasn't learn how to adapt to a more English accent?

Dude, the fuck ? You do realise what an accent is ??
