Tracing China: Through history, dialogue between ancient and modern

Chapter 118 The host is messed up
"The essence of history... is the nomadic regime the real weak?"

"Wait, I'm a little confused!"

"Damn it, I suddenly realized it, then I was confused, then I was confused, and finally my mind was completely messed up."

"The host's point of view is really unheard of."

"The host is right. Winning a general in a foreign war can be said to be brave and good at fighting, but if you can win against your contemporaries in the Central Plains, you are invincible in the era."

"The commander-in-chief who can crush an era, thousands of years in China, is definitely one of the few!"

"Yes, so when offering sacrifices to the Wu Temple, there were only ten generals at the beginning. For example, Bai Qi, who killed the god, who would fight for the front in the Warring States period; for example, Han Xin, in the struggle for hegemony between Chu and Han, without a single defeat."

"In this way, even if Wei Qing and Huo Qubing lead troops to the west and kill the Roman king with one blow, it's still not enough."

"Hahaha, absolutely nothing wrong."

A point of view raised by Lin Feng has caused a lot of uproar in modern times.

In fact.

General Wei Qing, who set the record for drinking horses and banishing wolves to live in Xu, did not rank high on the "general list" in Chinese history.

Wei Qing was able to make great achievements. To a large extent, it was due to the fact that during Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the ironmaking technology in the Central Plains soared, and there were better iron tools. In addition, the Han Dynasty gathered the background of several generations and raised the power of the whole country.

In terms of vertical comparison, during the Wei, Shu and Wu Three Kingdoms period, Gongsun Zan was able to beat the Xiongnu.

for these.

Yang Guang, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, disagreed, and immediately said, "Young people, everyone knows that the nomadic regime belongs to a fierce and aggressive group. They were born with wild animals and fought against bad weather. In their blood, Always retaining the most primitive wildness of ancient times, they are not weak!"

Lin Feng asked back, "Emperor Sui, do you think our Central Plains regime is inferior to them in terms of blood?"

Yang Guang shrugged, saying that there is no objection?
Nomadic aggressive.

The Central Plains is elegant.

Anyone who has read the book knows its meaning.

Lin Feng said:

"The people of the ancient Central Plains were no different from the nomads in the blood of the human race. Before the formation of Confucianism in the pre-Qin period, the people of the Central Plains were brave and full of blood."

"The more famous figures in the pre-Qin period, such as Zhuan Zhu, Yao Li, Nie Zheng, Cao Mo, Yu Rang, Jing Ke, Zhu Hai, Tian Guang, etc., are the representatives."

"Even the common people at that time were very bloody, and they could draw their swords and punches if they disagreed with each other."

"Later, the first emperor hid the world's weapons and cast seven gold men, and the blood gradually retreated."

"In addition to the influence of Confucianism, we jumped out of the wild animal thinking, learned culture, and rose to a higher civilization. When there are more rules, we will be responsible in our thinking, and we will not be as aggressive and decisive as before."

Lin Feng was not talking nonsense.

In the past, before the rules such as "the king is the leader of the ministers" and other rules came out, even the first emperor of China, who was powerful in China, suffered countless assassinations.

To save lives.

The first emperor had to empty the palace and line up thousands of oil lamps to guard against those bloody and reckless assassins.

Yang Guang shook his head and said, "Why do we record those tragic disasters in our history books? What about the human tragedies caused by the killings by the nomadic regime?"

Lin Feng said, "Because the strong are the recorders of history."

Yang Guang, "..."

audience,"……"

Lin Feng grinned.

It is said that when the strong record their victories, they will also be particularly engraved with the only few failures!

After all, the strong care more about failure.

A great civilization can not only record its brilliance, but also dare to expose its scars and examine its flaws and insufficiencies.

The Central Plains regime did have several humiliating events in history, such as the shame of Jingkang, such as the Yashan shipwreck, such as Yangzhou Ten Days.

But don't other nations have such humiliating things?
There seem to be all those great civilizations in the history of the world.

The existence of such things does not prevent the Central Plains from creating a splendid history of civilization in the world.

"Haha, in the final analysis, the nomadic regime is actually too poor."

"For the Central Plains regime, it is pitifully poor."

"As long as the land in the north is suitable for living and farming, there is no such thing as nomads."

"In the eyes of people in the Central Plains, although the land in the north is quite large, except for sand and stones, if you give it to others for free, they may not be able to take it. Why do I want that land? First, I can't grow food, and second, I can't grow it. Score troops to spend money to occupy the defense. My own land is big enough, and I have everything myself, palace halls, gardens, pavilions, delicacies, bustling markets..."

"It's absolutely correct. It's like you let people from New York and Paris go to Uganda. If you say go, then I will leave you a villa. The land is all yours. Will they be willing?"

"However, there is really nothing we can do about the poor nomadic regime."

"Whoever says no, he is a poor beggar, barefoot is not afraid of wearing shoes, anyway, I am like this, I will beat you, and tell you to take off a couple of good clothes and I will wear them."

Another audience directly said:

"Just look at the Sui Dynasty. After the great unification, the Central Plains became extremely rich, and there were more than a dozen foreign races around. Except for Goryeo, who would dare not surrender?"

This is what Lin Feng wanted to express to Yang Guang.

Why do you have to raise troops again and again to conquer?
The land of Goryeo.

It's just a tiny place, cold, barren and barren, what's the point?

Have that spare time.

Eating, drinking and having fun in the palace every day, isn't it delicious?

Noticing Lin Feng's "exaggerated" expression, Yang Guang blushed and said in embarrassment, "Young man, the visitor is a guest. I will order people to prepare a feast tonight. You and I will continue to talk and drink. If you don't get drunk, you won't return."

Lin Feng looked under the palace, nodded and said, "Emperor Sui, please!"

Palace back garden.

There are cobblestone blue and white paths beside the pool, which are sparkling and reflect the nearby water pavilions.

When Lin Feng and Yang Guang approached a pavilion.

There are already maids walking around, bringing some dishes.

At this time, the dinner party is already over, and the dishes are mostly snacks, appetizers and the like.

Walking along the artificial steps, up the pavilion.

Lin Feng found that there were two women sitting at a small table beside them chatting and talking, the atmosphere was joyful.

One of them was his partner... White Deer.

Bailu is wearing Sui Dynasty women's clothing. After all, he is young and beautiful, with a tall figure, coupled with the luxurious clothing of the ancients, it is even more beautiful.

The woman who talked to Bailu was a beautiful woman.

She is beautiful and beautiful, with an appearance that is almost all over the country. She is an ancient beauty that is rare in a thousand years.

"Queen Xiao..."

Lin Feng lost his mind slightly, there was nothing he could do, Empress Xiao was so beautiful, that kind of soul-stirring beauty.

It's like walking out of a painting, the fairy looks lost, but a smile can captivate people.

unimaginable.

Modern audiences, what kind of mood are they seeing this scene.

After all, Empress Xiao's real appearance belongs to several levels above the ceiling. In modern times, it is impossible to find such a show actress.

"White Deer..."

"what are you doing……"

"You are teaching Empress Xiao..."

"With modern high-tech products..."

Lin Feng was dumbfounded. When he saw the products that the two women were tinkering with, he was in a mess in the wind.
