Chapter 7 A Hundred Years of Dialogue II

"Qin Shi Huang died like this? Just because he was scratched by Jing Ke's dagger and injured his middle finger? Zhou Zheng's eyes widened, incredulous. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Wen Siqi was confused, and said: "I told you, this is Qin Wangzheng, and Qin Shihuang is his son, that is, Fusu, the son at this time." You know all the other histories, how come you get here in the Qin State, you can't figure it out? ”

Yes, Zhou Zheng asked back and forth three times, and he was finally convinced that history changed from this moment. In the original world, Jing Ke was cut off his left leg, so he threw the dagger at the King of Qin, and smashed it on the copper pillar. And in this world, perhaps because of the flapping of the wings of a small butterfly in South America, there is a change in the air flow for a certain time. In short, Jing Ke's dagger cut through Qin Wangzheng's right middle finger and poisoned him.

After that, Gongzi Fusu succeeded to the throne, Fen VII's Yu Lie, Zhen Changce and Yu Yu, still unified China, and he naturally became Qin Shi Huang.

Fusu is benevolent and self-denying, so naturally he will not go to overhaul the Great Wall and build the Afang Palace. The emperor's festival used love for the people, and the Qin Dynasty naturally would not have died, on the contrary, the Qin Dynasty existed very tenaciously for 413 years.

And these four hundred and thirteen years are divided into two parts. In the first half of the Qin Dynasty, the Qin Dynasty adopted a military strategy of combining the border and the Chinese, that is, only focusing on cultivating the border army to guard against the Xiongnu, and then cultivating the central army of Xianyang to suppress the counties, hoping to avoid the situation of local secession like the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.

As a result, the Central Army has never been given the opportunity to fight, and Wen Tian has become a group of wastes. At this time, there were alien demons in the northwest who broke through the sky, and the local army was not enough to resist, so they could only dispatch the central army to clear and suppress it, but the central army did not use it...... After going around in a circle, in the end they could only send the border army to the northwest and then transfer the central army to the border pass.

Originally, the court thought that it would be no problem for the central army to waste and defend the city, but the central army has been abandoned for more than a hundred years, and the degree of waste is far beyond their imagination. There is no Great Wall of the future, after the Xiongnu broke the central army, bypassed the original Zhao Great Wall and the Taihang Mountains, directly took the Guanzhong Plain, surrounded Xianyang, and went on the 36th.

After this battle, although Xianyang was not conquered, the population of the Guanzhong Plain was greatly reduced, and it was almost white. The emperor learned from the painful experience and decided to abolish the central army and restore the local garrisons.

After that, the Qin Dynasty enjoyed a peaceful life for more than 200 years, and finally because of the decay of the government, local rebellions broke out. As a result, Qin lost his deer.

"Qin lost its deer, the world chased it, and those who were fast and high-quality were gained, and the country name was Ning. The car in front is overturned, and the car behind is a lesson. The monarchs and ministers of the Ning Dynasty felt the fall of Qiang Qin, and felt that the way of combining the side and the middle was definitely unreliable. But they didn't dare to delegate power to the local area like the late Qin period, after all, they were the local forces of rebellion, and they knew best how powerful they were. In the end, Taizu of the Ning Dynasty turned out the old way, or four words, feudal relatives. ”

"Isn't that the old way?"

"The national policy of the Ning State is to develop both the county and the state, trying to use the vassal king to defend the emperor while ensuring the local administration and combat capability, so as to achieve the purpose of checks and balances."

"I guess it won't be much better." Zhou Zheng shook his head, thinking that the national policy of the Ning Dynasty was not a copy of the early Western Han Dynasty. Not long after the founding of the Western Han Dynasty, there was a wave of rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms, if it weren't for Zhou Yafu's outstanding military talent, maybe the Western Han Dynasty would have changed.

Wen Siqi glanced at Zhou Zheng, and said angrily: "Nonsense, do you still have to guess this?" If the Ning Dynasty has a good result, where will there be a David Dynasty? ”

Zhou Zheng was originally going to return the favor, but later he thought about it, it was true, no dynasty could escape the cycle of two or three hundred years. It would be too harsh to focus only on the devastation of the dynasty when it fell.

"But if you really want to talk about it, you can't say that the Ning family's thinking is wrong, after all, they are different from ordinary people."

"What do you mean?"

"What are you pretending, don't you know that the Ning family has demon blood?"

Zhou Zheng was shocked, how could he have a good historical discussion and pull out the fantasy plot at once? Qin Shi Huang's middle finger was cut off his hand, this is already very weird, where is the bloodline of the demon clan!

"I really don't know ......"

Wen Siqi flattened her mouth, with an expression of "you just pretend", and said with some unhappiness: "The Ning family has the blood of the red-skinned little fragrant pig in Dapu Cave, Baitou Mountain, so there will be three for each litter. Especially the founder of the Ning Dynasty, he gave birth to seven children in one child. ”

"But what does this have to do with the combination of the county and the country?"

"The rules of the Ning Dynasty are like this, who is appointed as the crown prince not only depends on whether he is reliable, but also considers whether his fellow brothers are reliable. Because once the new emperor ascends the throne, his siblings will immediately tear up the land and become the kings of a land. The vassal kings of the earlier generation had to immediately abstain from the state, go to serve elsewhere, or simply retire. ”

"So, the country with both counties and states is the emperor's siblings, does that mean? Did the Ning Dynasty rely on this to restrain the vassal king? ”

"That's right, the Ning Dynasty relied on this, and to be honest, this policy was very effective in the early days of the Ning Kingdom. First, the vassal king and the emperor are siblings, and the affection is extraordinary, and they both know that the emperor and the foreign vassal are two sides of one body with both glory and loss. Second, they were also partners in the emperor's founding of the world, and they knew that power was not easy to come by. At this stage, the national strength of the Ning State was very strong, and because the vassal kings were all brothers, they cooperated seamlessly in war. The Ning State crossed the desert and attacked the Xiongnu in the north, forcing the Hulu in the north to bow down one by one. ”

"And then?"

"Cut, that's what you want to hear. And then naturally it will be as you wish, a good country, and it will not work in the third generation. After Ning Sanpang ascended the throne, he slaughtered the old ministers of the clan regardless of his blood relatives, and then killed his eldest brother. Do you think, how can the old vassal kings be captured? Since then, the old and new vassal kings have been fighting, and the good world has become a pot of porridge. The Hulu alien race, who had already surrendered, took the opportunity to rebel. All of a sudden, the land of Heluo was endless. ”

"And what's next?"

"What's next, are you kidding me? The next thing is to cross to the south and raise troops in the north, don't you know the history of the David's dynasty? Wen Siqi said with a dry mouth, thinking that when she got to the part of this dynasty, she didn't have to talk about it anymore. Unexpectedly, Zhou Zheng still spread his hands, saying that he didn't know, and she was so angry that she was about to vomit blood.

As for Zhou Zheng, he was angrily reprimanded by a little guy like Wen Siqi, and blushed for no reason. However, he held the idea of "there is no such shop in this village", and asked cheekily: "You know, I have amnesia." He pointed to his head.

Wen Siqi was still angry, took a sip, and said angrily: "I don't see that you have amnesia, I think you have lost your brain." The Ning Dynasty crossed to the south in clothes, leaving the people of the north to fend for themselves, and then the rebels swarmed up to sweep away the dust, and finally Emperor Ning abdicated and King Wei ascended the throne. ”

Zhou Zheng counted with his fingers, so to speak, the current era is probably the Sui Dynasty on the earth. And although the characters in the long history are different, the development trend of history is strikingly similar.

But if you think about it carefully, there is nothing new under the sun, the central and the local, the imperial power and the prime minister...... History is the manifestation of the constant transformation of the contradictions between primary and secondary in society.

After sorting out these things, Zhou Zheng was satisfied, and said to himself: "This is clear. ”

But Wen Siqi snorted coldly and asked, "Then tell me, what do you know?" ”

"I know the history, I know what ......" From Zhou Zheng's point of view, Wen Siqi's question is a little inexplicable.

Wen Siqi flattened her mouth and shook her head: "Since you said it, you know everything." Then let me ask you, who is the eternal winner in this historical development and dynastic change? ”

"Eternal winners...... Is there such a thing? Zhou Zheng chewed these words twice, frowned, and said: "First of all, it is definitely not the people, after all, the people are suffering when they prosper, and the people are suffering when they die." ”

"That's right."

"The royal family has benefited, but only for a while. When the dynasty collapsed, there were not a few who regretted being born in the emperor's family. ”

"Correct."

"Bureaucratic ...... Bureaucrats are also at risk, and if they don't surrender when chaos comes, they will die, and if they surrender, they will be second-class ministers...... Where is there a winner in this dynasty change, why don't I see it? ”

"You didn't see it." Wen Siqi glanced at Zhou Zheng and said, "I was about to tell someone, and someone was clear, it was really laughing." ”

Although Zhou Zheng has a good temper, the clay man still has three points of anger, especially Wen Siqi is so young, being lectured by her makes Zhou Zheng feel ashamed. Based on this shame, Zhou Zheng didn't care, stared at Wen Siqi's gaze, and said, "Then you should tell me, who is the winner behind the change of dynasty?" ”

Wen Siqi traveled with memories, and she had complicated feelings for Zhou Zheng. On the one hand, she expects to transform Zhou Zheng into her own ally; On the other hand, she also hated Zhou Zheng's encirclement of the Demon Sect like a dog and a rabbit in his previous life. The fusion of these two emotions made her willing to repair her relationship with Zhou Zheng, but she was also happy to see Zhou Zheng get angry.

"Eternal winner...... Wen Siqi paused, stared at Zhou Zheng's angry face for a while, and grinned: "Naturally, there are six major factions." ”

"The six major factions?" This term is unheard of in Zhou.

"That's right, it's the six major factions." Wen Siqi slapped it on the table like a storyteller, and said: "The six major factions are the winners behind the change of dynasty, and sometimes, they are even the driving forces behind the scenes. ”

Then, Wen Siqi explained to Zhou Zheng about the six major factions of the righteous path.

"In the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, there were hundreds of schools, and with the passage of time, most of them have died out or disappeared. Among them, there are six masters who have survived a long time and can still survive to this day, namely Confucianism, Taoism, Famo, and Yin and Yang soldiers. Among them, those directly involved in the operation of the imperial court were Confucianism, Legalism, Yin and Yang and Bing. The other two families, Taoism pays attention to birth, and rarely appears in the world; And the Mo family pursued Ren Xia, and the court was almost extinct. However, even so, the influence of these two families should not be underestimated. ”

"I can understand all of this, but why are they the winners behind the scenes?"

"You think, during the Xia, Shang and Zhou periods, the imperial power was dominant. Under the feudal system, blood relatives always rank first, and meritorious heroes rank second. But what about then? Why do you think the disciples of the Qin State are trying their best to advocate the county system? Because if it comes to separation, they still lag behind the emperor's relatives and relatives. However, the First Emperor also guarded against them, and used a combination of border and Chinese methods to keep the main military and political forces in Xianyang and watch them under his nose. ”

"It's all your own guess, isn't it?" Although Zhou Zheng was born in engineering, he was still a person who had passed the Marx test, so why didn't the Qin Dynasty use the feudal system? In a word, not suitable for the development of productive forces. As for the behind-the-scenes, the conspiracy...... This kind of vocabulary is quite the style of the literature of the later generations.

"You mean I care about kinky? Then you answer me, why did the Huns go on an expedition after conquering the land of Yanzhao, bypassing the Taihang Mountains and attacking Xianyang? Seeing Zhou's disdainful expression, Wen Siqi was not happy.

"That's because ......" Zhou Zhengyi opened his mouth, but he was speechless - the history of this world is a little different after all, and none of the books he read before can be used to explain this situation. In response to Confucius's famous saying, it is called "learning without thinking is reckless". Zhou Zheng rarely thought about the liberal arts books, and this time there were no ready-made answers available, and he realized that maybe he really didn't understand.

"The Central Army suffered a crushing defeat in the northwest, and had to mobilize the border army to eliminate the evil spirits, which was a secret among secrets. How could it be so coincidental that as soon as the border army walked on the front foot, the Huns knocked on the pass? Moreover, the Huns are like steppe wolves, always hitting with one blow, and then fleeing thousands of miles. After attacking Yan Zhao, they should plunder and then retreat. But they gave up the opportunity to plunder, and instead thanklessly bypassed the pass, why do you say that? Wen Siqi showed an undoubted expression, and said in an unquestioning tone: "You said that the six major factions were not involved, I don't believe it. ”

"And why are they?"

"I said it, in order to dismantle the imperial power, in order to get more power. They forced Emperor Qin to delegate power to the localities, and the localities absorbed more officials as a result, and these officials were all from the Six Congresses. But even so, there are still not enough officials, so what should I do, open the imperial examination! The people selected by the imperial examination are all from the six major factions. If a person wants to become a member of the clan, he can be blessed by God. But if a person wants to become a member of the six major factions, he just needs to worship a good teacher. The members of the royal family are desperately trying to give birth to children, and they are not as fast as the six major factions to accept apprentices. By the end of the Qin Dynasty, the six major factions were no longer in power, and their high power was still better than that of the emperor. ”

"According to what you say, after the six major factions have overpowered the emperor, they should work hard to govern the country, but why did the Qin Dynasty perish?"

"It was because of the defeat of the emperor that the Qin Dynasty would perish. Because after the defeat of the emperor, they began to fight among themselves. Taizu of the Ning Dynasty himself was born in a military family and knew the mystery, so he had to move out of the old routine of his feudal relatives. But he forgot that the most unreliable thing is the human heart. In the face of the coercion and temptation of the six major factions and the huge temptation of the throne, the princes and grandsons threw themselves into the disciples of the six major factions one by one, and became partners and even spokespersons of the six major factions. The civil war of the Ning Dynasty was a proxy war between the six major factions. ”

"This ......" was dumbfounded when Zhou Zheng heard it.
