Chapter 5726 Everyone's equality trend
Speaking of this, Liu Yu gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "If the Qing Dynasty had a great emperor like Emperor Wu of Han, and such emperors had not been born in their early and middle periods, then perhaps the advantage they had gained on the battlefield temporarily would be spit out with profits, just like the Huns had once relied on leading the Central Plains to take advantage of the military forces in Maodun period, forcing the Han Dynasty to marry for decades, but in the end, when Emperor Wu of Han was in full swing against the Huns, and passed the hundred-year Han-Hung War, and finally won."
The ancestor said coldly: "What you imagine is an impossible situation. I know these barbarians too well. They dominate with their strength, attack and kill each other, and fight for survival. With these combat experiences, coupled with the bitter and cold outside the border, it is difficult to survive, which forces them to survive by fighting. Then, for this little power, they are slaughtered by each other and kill each other. In order to avoid such a thing, they have to separate the tribe, which makes the core tribe unable to be strong enough to suppress the entire grassland."
"Decades and hundreds of years later, the separated close relatives and tribes also became distant relatives and enemies. The idea that descendants of one surname and one clan could rule the grassland was as ridiculous as the Zhou emperor thought that the princes of the Ji surname could control the world. Therefore, on the grassland, there were no etiquette and rules, and war and vendetta were repeated forever. It was almost impossible to have a powerful ruler and command the desert."
"Of course, it is not completely impossible. Both the Huns and the Northern Wei Dynasty can unify the grasslands for a period of time, and then go south to invade the Central Plains. However, after they entered the Central Plains, the way of dominating power was still not easy. The people of the Central Plains do not recognize this, and they cannot kill all the people in the Central Plains, so no one can serve them in farming. Therefore, in the end, they can only learn from the Zhou Li Confucian style that governs the Central Plains, and finally integrate into what you call the Chinese nation and become the people of the Central Plains."
"However, the result of this is that they will be lured by the flower world of the Central Plains, corrupt and degenerate, and become like the corrupt aristocrats and aristocrats and gentry officials in the Central Plains. They are not enterprising and lose their power. Although they can stay in the Central Plains in the end, they are no different from the ordinary original farmers in the Central Plains. The Qing Dynasty you mentioned was established by the Manchus, in your description later. After entering the Central Plains, they also learned the lifestyle and values of the Han people, and they will inevitably become accustomed to relying on the Han people's farmers to support their own lifestyle. After entering the Central Plains, they will lose a lot of opportunities and resources to ride and shoot on the grassland like Yan State. If they do not take the initiative to stay on the grassland to maintain their original lifestyle, they will sooner or later become the Han people in the Central Plains."
"The Western powers you mentioned defeated the Qing Dynasty's army with strong ships and powerful cannons, forced them to sign humiliating treaties, and even together with their Qing Dynasty officials and new comprador capitalists, they began to rule and enslave the Han people of the Qing Dynasty. These Manchus, who were originally foreign races, would not truly regard the people of the Central Plains as their own people and people. When they could not defeat the foreign enemies, it was almost the only choice to enslave the people of the Central Plains with foreign enemies to maintain their own rule. What you said is almost impossible to call Emperor Wu of Han or King Goujian of Yue, unless……………”
Speaking of this, the ancestor smiled slightly: "Unless the people at the bottom spontaneously revolt, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang were born, and these corrupt and degenerate upper-class rulers were overthrown, just like you Liu Yu, who could rely on military merits and Jianyi to seize power, and then rely on strong military power to defeat foreign foreign powers. In this way, it can be said that they will win the hearts of the people, follow the will of heaven, reverse the world, and rebuild China, and can naturally change the dynasty."
"You have always said that there were saints in later generations that could change the thoughts of China for thousands of years, and make the dominance theory of the herdsmen who were ordered by heaven and on behalf of heaven, and become what to serve the people. They have power in their hands, but they have to do things for the people of the world. Perhaps only if such great heroes who reverse the world or even those possessed by gods and immortals can make extraordinary achievements make the people of the world believe in this."
Liu Yu curled his lips and said, "It's not entirely true. First of all, this invasion of Western powers is not only military, economic, but also cultural and values. They relied on military victory to preach missions in various parts of China, and made some donations with small favors. Just like the five dou of rice, the people help each other in the way of the church to fight against the oppression of the government. Then they will attract many people to believe in these foreign religions. Their missionaries, with their special identities, can not comply with the laws of the Qing Dynasty, and even be regarded as foreigners by local officials and dare not offend them. So they can use the incense money of the people, or the money earned after conducting commercial trade in China to attract more people to believe in religion and become religious people."
"These religious people accepted the ideas of foreigners. They no longer believed in the Confucian style of Zhou Li in the Central Plains, no longer regarded the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty as the emperor, but only recognized God. This God sect advocated equality for everyone. Although this equality for everyone is hypocritical and just a slogan, it at least made many people lose their awe of the imperial power and began to reflect on the meaning of life. Could it be that from birth to death, they kept working as cows and horses to serve the officials, nobles, and even the emperor as a blessing?"
"If it were in the past, the imperial power was strong and if they wanted to revolt, they would be destroyed by the landlords in neighboring villages and villages, and the powerful people would be destroyed, not to mention large-scale rebellion, which would be impossible to defeat the imperial army, just like I would now destroy the demon thieves of the Tianshidao. However, if the imperial army was vulnerable when facing the army of Western powers, then whether it was the people who wanted to rebel or the ambitious landlords, they would have other ideas, thinking that the Qing Dynasty's official army was just like this. If there were foreigners to help, it would be possible to uprising and overthrow the Qing Dynasty and change the world."
