Terrible comback, Michigan has never conqured several people and created a hegemony where no one challaged them.
Nice arguments you got there fam
No, Song had the most powerful military in all of Chinese history, ironically. It is more like this
This is what happens when your dynasty was formed by a succesful general who rose up.
Learn to read, I never said China won those conflicts. However, if you read history you will know why they lost.
Top kek, Need citation because they have never taken territory from China, probably done it during unrest and division. But that just ended with them being eaten or forces to kowtow to our Emperor after all that shit ended.
When? They were mostly allies to the Chinese states
That is modern China, most of Ancients China's enemies where within what is Modern China.
Never got into the orginal Sinosphere. Xinjiang was never part of 中國(Central Kingdom(s). And the reason they took/re-conqured Chinese territory was only because of unrest/rebellion inside said Dynasty.
Same as the Khatanese, just because they worship Chinese Culture and take Chinese Titles does not mean shit unless they control the Central Kingdoms around the Yangtze and Yellow river
What are Eight Banners?
The Manchus were invited in to stomp down a rebellion against the Ming Dynasty en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Shanhai_Pass
Then they decided to stay and took the Mandate of Heaven affter liberating(?) Beijing.
The conquest of the Central Kingdoms where only possible with Ming troops, which the Manchus where succesful in hiring by promising wives to Han Chinese who fought for them.
Name these people. The only reason foreign invaders where succesful in esablishing states in the Central Kingdoms which have only been Mongols, Xiongnu, Jie, Xianbei, Di, and Qiang. Only the Yuan(Mongols) have ever managed to conqure and subdue all of the Central Kingdoms.
The only reasons these Barbarians were succesful was because there where no Chinese Dynasty to uphold Pax Sinica at the time. Basically China was divided into several states like Europe. And the Northern Kingdoms where usally weak from years of fighting eachother. Does not matter, the Wu Hu(Xiongnu, Jie, Xianbei, Di, and Qiang) got either genocided or assimilated.
DAILY REMINDER TO ALL YOUR FAGS "CHINA"中國(CENTRAL KINGDOMS) DOES NOT REALLY EXIST AS A COUNTRY, YOU CAN TELL THE HISTORY OF "CHINA" WITHOUT SAYING/WRITTING "CHINA" EVER ONCE."CHINESE"中國人 HAVE NEVER BEEN A TERM USED BY "CHINESE". DURING ALL HISTORY OF "CHINA" WE HAVE HAD DYNASTIES WHO CALLED THEMSELVES STATE OF HAN, TANG, QIN, QING. ONLY QING EVER USED THE TERM "CENTRAL KINGDOMS" TO ALL THEIR TERRITORIES. HOWEVER IN EVERY DOCUMENT THEY USE "QING STATE OF CENTRAL KINGDOMS"
WHEN IT COMES TO CITIZENSHIP ANCIENT "CHINESE" CALLED THEMSELVES 漢人(HAN PERSON), 唐人(TANG PERSON), 秦人(QIN PERSON) 清人(QING PERSON WHICH WERE NEVER USED BECAUSE MUH HAN SUPREMICY). AND ALL THESE STATES WHERE FORMED BY DIFFERENT PEOPLE WHO JUST HAPPEN TO CALL THEMSELVES HAN BECAUSE THEY GOT CONQURED BY THE HAN DYNASTY AND USED THIS TO JUSTIFY THEIR CONQUEST OF THE CENTRAL KINGDOMS
THE REASON WE CALL USSELVES HAN CHINESE IS BECAUSE THE HAN DYNASTY WHERE OUR FIRST GOLDEN AGE AND WHEN DIFFERENT PEOPLE ESTABLISHED NEW DYNASTIES THEY LEGITMICED THEIR RULE BY CONTINUING THE LEGACY OF QIN(FIRST EMPIRE) BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY THE HAN.
==AND THIS IS WHY WHEN WE USE THE TERM "CHINA" IN HISTORY WE FOCUS ON THE MOST POWERFUL HAN DYNASTIES
MODERN CHINESE STATE BUILDING WAS A MISTAKE==
See for why
Yes we have, the irony is that Chinese would be less shit with it.
Mainland Chinese actually make great Historical Dramas
