not really

pretty true
>Always under thread from foreign nomads
also true
>Always Eunuchs causing trouble
not really
>and ambitious ministers
sort of yes
>Always some General is summoned to deal with invading tribe
yes, troops tend to be led by generals
>This General always breaks a local dam causing a massive amount of destruction and kills an untold number of Chinese peasants
i can think of exactly 2 times this happened
>he calls it a water attack
i assume he would
in short, you need to go back
if i had a nickle for every time a chinese general killed untold thousands of his own people in order to stop a foreign invasion by breaking a dam i would have two nickles. which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened twice
>twice
are you counting when Chang Kai-Shek did it?
Off the top of my head I can think of at least 3 intentional floods that killed a lot of people in the Han dynasty.
2 of those happened during the end of the Han Dynasty, and it wasnt a dam being broken up but rivers being rerouted to flood fortified cities. Which is a standard Chinese siege technique.
>flood cities
>common siege technique
why
why not lmao
this IS china we're talking about here
its yast not poshibul
There's a lot of rivers in China and many cities are near them. if a standard siege assault fails or is delayed, smart commanders get their engineers to reroute/blocl rivers and flood the town.
Also

Its a great way to force cunts to surrender. If defenders persist and the siege lasts more than a few weeks, a month or so into the siege, stagnant water with dead bodies & animals floating in it would become this festering soup of disease, impacting the ability of the defenders to fight.
Why surrender at that point though? They're already fucked, it's not like the attackers help them rebuild after that.
People mostly die in Chinese wars due to famine, disease, and starvation than actual combat. Once combat is done and the other party surrenders, losing combatants are either held as prisoners, or as usual in Chinese civil wars, defected to the winning side. Outright massacre of prisoners and surrenderers was not commonplace nor readily accepted- usually the people punished were their leaders and generals- and in the times when that happened, it was usually seen as an atrocity. Like when Gen. Bai Qi buried alive thousands of Zhao POWs who surrendered after the Battle of Changping in 226 BC.

There is nothing more boring than Chinese history
Chinese is a slave race.
good morning sir pajeet
Did Pajeets get raped by barbarians and be forced to shave their head?
yes, in a manner of speaking.
ever heard of the Mughals m8?
Surely you mean the British.
Yes, and the British.
Or the Kushans
Mughals were Persians. Manchus = tribal naggers. Imagine being raped by naggers for 300 years.
>Mughals were Persians
they were afghan/uzbek steppenaggers who adopted persian as a court language
>Imagine being raped by naggers for 300 years.
Pajeets are literally brown colored. What's your point
pajeets have it far worse. they completely forgot their own history. the british discovered sanskrit and the ancient maurya empire, which the pajeets had no clue about.
The history of India is indigenous swarthy savages being righteously conquered and governed by lighter skinned minorities. Indigenous rule is a literal aberration for the Indians.
>history covers the interesting bits
no shit, "dynasty walls out the nomads and is at peace for centuries" isn't much of a story so no one focuses on that part
