Chapter 83: A Province of the Earth Federation

The topic was too heavy, and Ding Siyu felt a little out of breath.

"Then if the sacrifice is sent, and the people are still not awake, still have no patriotism, and still have no cohesion, then what?" Ding Siyu raised a question.

Historically, in the Song Dynasty, Jingkang's shame took two emperors as sacrifices and hundreds of thousands of people as sacrifices, but it still did not awaken the patriotism of the people, there was still no cohesion, and they still wanted to negotiate peace. This time, the sacrifice was undoubtedly a failure.

"Then take care of each family, and don't bird them!" Li Qing said lightly: "When a country perishes, it often has too many negative assets. How to reduce negative equity, the lower level is ******, clean up harmful cells; The middle-level is reform, but this road is not easy to follow, and if you are not careful, you may change yourself to death; And the more extreme ones are revolutions, civil wars, and the elimination of negative assets, but this road is even more difficult to walk, and one carelessness is the economic regression of several decades, and the destruction of the country! ”

"Of course, there is another way, which is to start anew, go your own way, and take care of your own family!"

"What do you mean by that, to be specific?" Ding Siyu had a bad premonition again.

"After the First Punic War, some Carthaginians were so disappointed with the Carthage in North Africa that they felt that it was rotten and declining. A part of the Carthaginians left North Africa and went to Spain, where they founded the city of New Carthage! ”

"If the city of Carthage in North Africa is decaying and decaying; The new city of Carthage in Spain is full of life. Civilization is divided into several stages, the period of obscurantism, the period of barbarism, the period of pioneering, and the period of civilization. The period of ignorance is the period of infancy, the period of barbarism, the age of youth; The pioneer period is the prime of life; And the period of civilization is the period of old age! ”

"Carthage in North Africa belongs to old age; Rome, on the other hand, belongs to the pioneer period and belongs to the prime of life; The city of New Carthage, Spain, belongs to the barbaric period, belongs to the juvenile period. The only way to defeat Rome is the juvenile city of New Carthage, which is likely to defeat the Romans in their prime! ”

And Hannibal defeated the Romans again and again in Italy because Hannibal's subordinates were more barbaric than the Romans, and barbarism represented strong combat effectiveness. And the victory in the early battles was that the younger city of New Carthage defeated the older Romans! ”

"And the failure of New Carthage is mainly because I want to pull the old Carthage city and my brothers, but I was cheated by my brothers, betrayed by my brothers, and I have no place to bury my life.

The Romans, on the other hand, were much more savvy. At that time, Rome was divided into two halves, half of which was Western Rome, which represented the old powers, which represented the old age; Half of it was Eastern Rome, representing a new power, in its adolescence. At that time, Western Rome suffered a barbarian invasion and was about to be destroyed, but Eastern Rome did not come to the rescue, and did not go to pull the brothers along, which was typical of unrighteousness! ”

However, it was this act of unrighteousness that saved Eastern Rome from being killed by his brothers. Eastern Rome, also known as the Byzantine Empire, lasted for more than a thousand years, during which it resisted the attack of the barbarians, the attack of Charlemagne, the attack of the Arab Empire, and even the era of the Mongols, Eastern Rome did not die, and was not destroyed by the Ottoman Turks until later! ”

"When Hannibal could manage the city of New Carthage well, he didn't think about pulling his brothers to save Carthage in North Africa; It may have been in Spain that it was possible to become a hero, and it may have been there that the Carthaginian civilization was reborn against the Romans, and it was lucky enough to survive the decline of Rome and become another Carthage; If you are unlucky, you can also achieve a confrontation with Rome; Even if the luck is bad and it is destroyed by Rome, the losses of Rome will be extremely heavy! Many people fail because they have pig teammates; Maybe many people will still fail after losing their pig teammates, but they can lose a lot slower, and they may even turn around! ”

"But this, sitting back and watching the motherland perish, is something that no patriot will do!" Ding Siyu said.

"Yes!" Li Qing was silent, "This is the most rational way, but it is also the most ruthless way, and this is also the way there is no way!" ”

"Back then, Taizu defeated the Manchu Qing Dynasty in one fell swoop, defeated the Ming Dynasty, and ruled the world, how high-spirited he was. Pointing the way. It's just that Taizu didn't rejoice, some were just sad, and the country overturned every three hundred years, which seemed to be fate. The Han Dynasty can't escape, the Tang Dynasty can't hide, the Ming Dynasty can't escape, and the new dynasty may not be able to escape! ”

"Three hundred years later, the country that could be built will perish again. The demise of the dynasty is not terrible, but what is terrible is the reappearance of Mongolia and the Manchu Qing Dynasty, which subverted Chinese civilization in one fell swoop. In order to prevent the subversion of Chinese civilization, Taizu realized the feudal system, with China as the core, and divided the sixteen countries such as Donghua, forming a situation where Zhuhua stood side by side! ”

"Many people say that the juxtaposition of Zhuhua may lead to the rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms in the era of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty, the rebellion of the Eight Kings in the Western Jin Dynasty, and the Battle of Jingjing in the Ming Dynasty. However, Taizu refused, and formulated an ancestral system, prohibiting future generations from recovering these fiefs. Why? It is to make the Sixteen Kingdoms of Donghua and so on, become the new Carthaginian City, and become the Eastern Rome! ”

"Taizu knows that sooner or later the country will perish, no matter how patriotic the patriots are, they will still perish, just like the Han Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty. Therefore, he does not seek that the country will not last for thousands of years, and that the royal family will exist forever, but only that the Chinese civilization can be passed on, and the poetry and books will not be burned or abandoned by future generations! ”

"Don't put your eggs in one basket, you have to put them in multiple baskets to feel safe. And in order to let the Chinese civilization pass on, he set up seventeen baskets to store the Chinese civilization, even if a country is destroyed, the Chinese civilization still exists. Only when all these seventeen kingdoms are destroyed, can Chinese civilization perish! ”

Li Qing said.

Talking, talking, the more you talk about it, the farther it goes, the more you talk about it, the more you deviate.

But Ding Siyu became silent.

She is essentially a patriot, thinking about the tragedy of Carthage, and can't help but think of today's Donghua. Today's Donghua is equivalent to another Carthage.

Of course, Donghua's science and technology are very advanced, military science and technology are extremely developed, and there is an atomic bomb, even if Donghua's army is extremely wasteful, but no country has the ability to destroy Donghua militarily. Donghua will not be in danger of extinction like Carthage.

It's just that in today's era, there are many kinds of wars, economic wars, currency wars, cultural wars, financial wars, information wars, scientific and technological wars, etc., as for military wars, they are simply the lowest level, and they can't be played at all.

Sometimes, in some wars, Donghua loses, and it may fall completely.

Historically, after the fall of Carthage, it became a Roman province.

In the era of globalization, at the moment of the establishment of the Earth Federation, Donghua may become a province of the Earth Federation, just as Carthage is reduced to a province of Rome.
