791 Martial Politics

Feng Fu took a sip of tea to moisten his throat, "Before I was in Beijing, I was already aware of Xiao Letian's problem, he was able to buy the latest Western weapons, he could arm soldiers to the teeth, and he could turn decay into magic and transform Longxugou, all of which relied on the power of money......"

And this year, Xiao Letian's bank began to get involved in the treasury of the Qing Dynasty again, and the bank deposits in the household department were not as much as his, so you can imagine how many merchants' strength he has gathered...... If you open the window, you can see that the port of Naha is a city that never sleeps, and the docks are still brightly lit and the shops are still trading......"

"I asked before, the tax collectors of the Ryukyus are all working three shifts a day, and there is no time to rest at all, and the wealth of the world is pouring in like the flowing sea, and the merchant power we have lost has taken away all of it......"

"If Xiao Lotian just stretched out his hand to the businessman, then he would not be difficult to deal with, although everything in the world is made of money, but the more money is accumulated, the more people will be hated, and the more people will be concerned, so Xiao Lotian hopes to restore the politics of the martial arts while mobilizing the power of the businessman!"

There was a buzz, and there was a commotion in the study, for the word samurai politics, civil officials are too sensitive, and this is the mortal enemy of civil officials by nature.

In fact, in Chinese history, before the Sui and Tang dynasties, there was no distinction between civil and military, and at that time, the society still admired the all-round talent of civil and military.

However, after the fall of the Tang Dynasty and the establishment of the Song Dynasty, which began to consciously become too high civil officials, the society began to discriminate against military generals.

In fact, this is also normal, the Tang Dynasty was destroyed in the feudal town, the five dynasties and ten kingdoms are basically the remnants of the feudal town's power, from the beginning of An Lushan's rebellion, the Central Plains began to be devastated by the military feudal town, until the founding of the Northern Song Dynasty, the Central Plains was completely controlled by the military group, and the time of war was far greater than the time of peace.

In the fourteenth year of Tianbao of the Tang Dynasty, that is, in 755 AD of the Western calendar, the An Lushan Rebellion began to rebel, until the establishment of the Northern Song Dynasty in 960 AD, and the rule of the feudal town finally came to an end, with a total of 205 years in the middle.

Modern people are very unfamiliar with the history of those 205 years, what happened in the late Tang Dynasty and the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, few people know the details, but everyone knows that these 200 years are the 200 years of civil war, and they are the 200 years of hell.

The warlords of the feudal towns in various places kill me, I kill you, and the common people have really become cattle, sheep and livestock, and you coerce me to fight for them, and the population has completely become a resource like cattle and sheep, forests and mines.

It's hard for people in peacetime to imagine what that era was like, can you imagine your three-year-old son being thrown into a pot and boiled into minced meat without paying attention?

Can you imagine that the little sister next door of your childhood sweetheart was kidnapped and bullied to death by thieves in a blink of an eye?

Can you imagine that the mountain village with a bumper harvest is about to be looted by the soldiers in an instant, there is not a grain left, all the women are **, and all the men are captured and strong?

……

In peacetime, people could not imagine that a skeleton could be kicked out by walking on the street three or four steps, and a rotting corpse could be found at five or six meters.

Modern people can't imagine that when a person leaves his hometown, what he worries about is not that he is afraid of others robbing and stealing, but that he is worried that others will eat him.

People are actually two-legged sheep in troubled times!

It was precisely because he had witnessed the tragic experience of the people at that time that the Northern Song Dynasty began to greatly improve the social status of civil officials and began to desperately suppress military generals, because the painful memory was really terrifying, and even became a scar that the entire Chinese nation did not dare to touch easily, so there are really not many people who study that period of history.

After the two Song Dynasty, the Yuan Dynasty, the Mongol butcher's knife made the Han people's suppressed blood courage have a rebound, but after the Tumubao Change, the short-lived military generals also ended, and the Ming Dynasty civil officials became strong again.

Waiting for the war at the end of the Ming Dynasty and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, the smart Manchus quickly realized the benefits of the Han civil officials, with the suppression of these people, the blood and courage of the Han people could not raise their heads, as long as the blood and courage of the Han people were suppressed, then the Manchu nobles did not mind reaching an alliance with the civil system, and the world was together.

Anyway, as long as we don't lose the blood of our people, the Han people are honestly the best two-legged sheep.

To be sure, because the history of China is too long, the main body of civilization has not been broken, and the coherence of written and historical records has not been destroyed, so that any kind of thought can find its own corroboration from the long history.

There are pros and cons to civilian rule, you say that he can find a bunch of evidence, you say that he is bad, he can also find a bunch of evidence, and the military generals are also good and bad, you can just pick it up in the long history, and any of your theories can be found to corroborate.

Therefore, China's politics often falls into very serious internal friction, and the two sides do not care about right or wrong, black and white, both take what happened in history, and countless quotations of the sages begin to attack each other, and miss the opportunity to change the times in the internal friction.

Today, Feng Fu's analysis suddenly brought out the hidden worries in the hearts of the civil officials present, and the people asked in horror, "No, is Xiao Letian going to be a feudal town? It's terrible, relying on merchants and warriors to build a country, what is this country like? Isn't it a country in the last days?"

"Demons, it's really the demons from the Xiyi Sect!"

When it came to this topic, Jae-chun was already a little incomprehensible, and the ink in his stomach was obviously not enough to analyze such a complex issue as the change of dynasties, so he asked in confusion, "Is it so serious?" I admit that the Ryukyu army is strong, but the Ryukyu army is very well-behaved! It has never bullied the common people, and it gives money to buy things, and the military discipline is very good!"

Feng Fu patted his thigh and said sadly, "This is the most terrible thing, the army is the army, what should we think about? How can the army have its own thoughts? If we have our own thoughts, we will have our own behaviors, and when the time comes, we will inevitably have other thoughts......

"If they follow the orders of their minds, they will carry them out to the letter, and if they do not follow their minds, will they not rebel?

Jae-chun was confused, "But...... However, what the Ryukyu army thinks is not wrong! Isn't it good to make the country rich and the people strong? Isn't it good to be disciplined? Isn't it wrong to love the people like sons?"

"Wrong! Your Majesty is so confused...... These things that compete for the hearts and minds of the people can only be done by the emperor, and can only be done by us civil officials! A group of stinky soldiers actually dare to win the hearts of the people! Do you want to rebel!" Feng Fu's expression was a little hideous in the angry shouting.

Note: Many people in the book friend group want to collect a paper book of the Great Qing Yinlong, and now the number of people is being counted, and the heart net plan is to print the first three or four hundred thousand words at the beginning, and the estimated cost will not exceed fifty yuan by means of custom printing.

If you want to buy a book collection, please add a group 116253076 it is now being counted, and the more people who buy it, the lower the cost.

I think that with the quality of the Great Qing Yinlong, if it is printed as a paper book, even if it is placed at home for the elders in the family to see, it will not say that you are not doing your job.
