Chapter 369: Reverse Blade Knife

Therefore, among the demon gates, the power of Taiping Dao is not the only one:

Except for the evil sect dominated by tomb robbers among the Taiping Dao forces that were divided in the past, the Suppression Dao dominated by eunuchs, and the Zuo Dao who made peace with the declining Taoist sect and third-rate monks, the remaining five major forces were all other forces that had fallen in love with the Mo family and killed each other!

Mending Heaven Pavilion, is a faction of assassins hidden in the darkness, as the ultimate weapon born from the struggle between human beings in history, the only rule pursued by the assassins is not to have any contact with any other forces except for tasks and money, so as to maintain their independence, and be able to receive murder tasks left and right! Therefore, although in the turbulent times that followed, the Assassins had to form alliances with other forces that were also hidden in the darkness in order to reduce their losses in surviving the crisis, and for the sake of the later Demon Gate, the independence of the Heavenly Pavilion itself remained unchanged as before.

In the eyes of the disciples of the Heavenly Pavilion, killing people is like a business, taking people's money, doing things for others, and taking what they need, and when the matter is completed, the money and goods are cleared, and from then on, the two sides have nothing to do with each other! - Isn't doing business just like that?

So from this point of view, it is not difficult to understand what the people of the Heavenly Lotus Sect have done!

The Heavenly Lotus Sect is the power gathered by merchants in the dark, because of the profit-seeking nature of merchants, they must also be left and right, but they will deliberately keep a distance from all parties, in order to pursue wealth as much as possible at the same time, try their best to avoid themselves in trouble, and the Heavenly Lotus Sect also has a strong independence in the Demon Gate.

The Huajian faction was the group of people who fell to the ruling class when the Momen was initially divided. In all fairness, when the Mo family split, due to the implementation of the policy of deposing the hundred schools of thought and respecting Confucianism exclusively implemented by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the life of this group of Mo disciples who split out was actually very embarrassing, after all, after the deposition of the hundred schools. The Taoist faction that was originally regarded as the guest of honor by the ruling class has come to a miserable end, and the Mohists, who have long been no longer the mainstream school of society, how good can they be? However, having made up their minds not to oppose the ruling class, this group of Mohist disciples had no choice but to endure hardship, and then in the face of adversity, they changed themselves to survive.

The choice of these Mo disciples in the past was not a betrayal of the Mo family heritage, but they thought that the war was dangerous, so they did not want to provoke a war to avoid the destruction of lives. That's why they fought so actively and resolutely against the militants in the Momen, which led to the fact that the Momen split later!

Many years later, when the descendants of the Mohist disciples in the midst of the war had to unite again to resist the crisis from the outside world, the descendants of the Mohist disciples who were once attached to the upper class had also undergone a great transformation, and they still retained their skills as a Mohist craftsman, but most of the artifacts they made had nothing to do with social production. It's just a delicate plaything, and the experience of the ruling class constantly clinging to the strong. It also makes this faction extremely sleek, proficient in world affairs and extremely cold in nature!

In fact, for historical reasons, the Hanama faction believes that they are indeed part of the Demon Gate, however, because of the same historical reasons. In addition to the Heavenly Lotus Sect, which is left and right because of the nature of a merchant, even the disciples of the Heavenly Pavilion believe that the Flower Sect is actually a heretic of the Demon Sect!

The Demon Xiangzong is the descendant of the Zongheng faction, which is in fact the only school other than Confucianism, which has a vested interest, in the academic disaster of deposing the Hundred Schools of Confucianism, that has not suffered losses. And Emperor Wu's later more famous ministers, such as the master father Yan, Zhu Maichen, Dongfang Shuo, etc., are also mostly from this faction, since the Demon Xiangzong has such a relationship with the ruling class, it is no wonder that the later Demon Xiangzong people will be so skilled attached to the power, the Middle Earth is not treated to go to the grassland, the situation in the grassland is not good, and then turn around and go away to the Western Regions, without him, the essence of the inheritance of the Zongheng family is like this.

The Demon Xiangzong is attached to the soil of power to survive, and at the same time, it does not actually have any ideological and political appeals, in fact, it is very deeply integrated with the ruling class, but because this faction is too dependent on power, therefore, the backbone of the Zongheng family itself is extremely weak, and this weak situation is just in the peaceful and prosperous era or in the internal annexation war of the Chinese civilization like the Warring States, in the unprecedented turbulent times such as the Three Kingdoms, Wuhu and Sixteen Kingdoms of the Northern and Southern Dynasties at the end of the Han Dynasty, The weak nature of the Zongheng family school was suddenly exposed, and it also brought the catastrophe of destruction to the Zongheng family itself, and it was the catastrophe that almost destroyed the school several times, which quickly gave birth to the transformation of the Zongheng family like the Demon Gate Demon Xiang Sect!

Because they also served the ruling class and did not have any ideological and political demands of their own, the relationship between Confucianism and Zonghengjia was also very unusual in the era of peace and prosperity, which was not only a competitive relationship with each other, but also like-minded companions who defended the power class! And in the long years that followed, the Zongheng family faction will be completely integrated into the Confucian ideological system, and occupy a very pivotal position in it - of course, that is also after a very long time, today's Zongheng family, like other sects of the Demon Gate, has suffered heavy damage in the troubled times, so it has to unite with other factions to form the Demon Gate, in order to tide over the storms in the troubled times!

Even at the end of the Han Empire in the past, even almost all the traditional schools of power, including the Taoist birth lineage, united and wanted to work together to overthrow the ruling power of the witch lineage that occupied the ruling center at that time, however, because of the strength of the witch line and the concession between the other factions, in the beginning of that troubled era, although the power of the witch line suffered certain losses and had to withdraw from the core position of the ruling class, but the main body still existed. And not because of the withdrawal from the core of the ruling class, the strength was greatly damaged!

In the time that followed, although the influence of the witch line gradually weakened, but relying on the support of a group of outstanding women in the sects such as Mrs. Bian and Yang Xianrong, even in the troubled times, the witch lineage still has a decisive influence in the upper society, but unfortunately, the witch line prospered because of people, and also died because of people, because the demon queen Jia Nanfeng corrupted the Jin Dynasty. The witch line almost became the target of the public and was once again strangled by the major forces, but fortunately was protected by the ruler at the time and was spared, and later, because the leader of the witch line, Zheng Cherry, was implicated in Ran Min's killing order and was killed, so that the power of the witch line was also wiped out in that chaotic battle!

In fact, although Zheng Cherry is the queen of the tyrant Shi Hu. And in order to stabilize his position in the court, he must have done such a tragic thing as mutilating Gong E, but if the tyrant Shi Hu's atrocities have a lot to do with Zheng Cherry, it must be a complete chase after the wind and shadows, and open his mouth, in fact, as the head of the witch line at that time, Zheng Cherry's behavior can be said to be very restrained compared to many predecessors and descendants, which is also because she knows that the Shi Hu she is attached to at this time will inevitably bring great danger to Shi Hu and everyone around Shi Hu in the future. However, Shi Hu's atrocities are not something that can be stopped by a mere Zheng Cherry and the witch girl forces behind her, so Zheng Cherry's restraint can only be the only thing she can do in a last resort, but it's a pity. This kind of behavior did not save the catastrophe of the witch who was attached to Shi Hu later!

After Shi Hu's death. A martial artist Ran Min killed all the members of the Shihu family under the instigation of Li Nong, the outstanding heir of the Zongheng family at that time, and Zheng Cherry was also killed because of this, and then Ran Min brazenly issued the famous order to kill Hu! As a result, the population of the Hu and Han sides in the following extreme period of time was drastically reduced! And in the midst of that chaos, the Zongheng family quickly united the forces of all parties who had strangled the power of the witch line before, and once again raised the butcher's knife against the witch line, and this time. No one or any force will stand up to defend the inheritance of the witch lineage, because the people of the world, both Hu and Han, hate Shi Hu's atrocities very much, so although the witch lineage at that time did not help the abuse. But it was a disaster of pond fish, and it really came to a crisis of life and death!

So in the humiliation, the witch line had to accept the extremely harsh conditions prescribed by all forces: except for the inheritance classics compiled and left by the virtuous and loving queen Yin Lihua of the former wise and martial Guangwu Emperor Liu Xiu, all other original inheritances inherited from ancient times must be destroyed, and the witch lineage must also be renamed "Yin Gui School" to make it clear that her inheritance comes from the original Taoist idea of "men are yang and women are yin"!

Of course, this was an extremely humiliating condition for the shrine maiden lineage at that time, but the situation was pressing, and in order to be able to continue to pass it on, the shrine maiden lineage finally had to accept such a condition! So since then, the witch lineage with an extremely long heritage has completely disappeared, whether in the years that followed, or in all the previous historical records - the Taoist who was born in the ancient witchcraft system will never let any descendants know the existence of the extremely bloody and cruel witchcraft civilization, and therefore, all the classical school civilizations born from the Spring and Autumn Period led by Taoism must wipe out the last remnants of the witchcraft civilization of the witch lineage, Don't let it leak a trace of history......

So since then, the ancient witch lineage that has been passed down from Jingnan for thousands of years, after the Han Dynasty and the Wei and Jin dynasties, and the Wei and Jin dynasties, has disappeared, and the name of this inheritance has been replaced, and its name is called: Yin Huang School!

Later, this bloody history of the internal fighting of the Demon Gate was artificially covered up in this way, because the loose Demon Gate Alliance could no longer afford the consequences of internal fire.

The trend of the times is unstoppable, and those who dare to be a car with their arms will inevitably be crushed by the giant wheel of history.

Shi Hu died because he deliberately provoked a fight between the ethnic groups from the frontier and the Han people.

Ran Min died because he blindly encouraged the Han people to take revenge on other peoples, but he could not intelligently distinguish the gains and losses.

Li Nong also died, at the hands of his husband Ran Min, because he tried to use Ran Min's power to disturb the world and fish in troubled waters, but he didn't think about the result, but the agency was too smart......

The devastated land of China is already eagerly hoping for the arrival of peace, so just as the eight major factions of the Demon Gate once attacked each other but eventually moved towards unity, the various candidates who attacked and killed each other in the world are gradually completing the unification process of this country.

After the reform of Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty, although the national strength increased greatly because of this, it left a great hidden danger because of the incomplete reform, coupled with the power vacuum caused by the sudden death of Emperor Xiaowen, a catastrophe, soon swept the entire Northern Wei Dynasty like a butterfly storm!

Empress Xiaowen. Empress Dowager Hu, the ruler of the last years of the Northern Wei Dynasty, believed in Buddhism, caused chaos in the country, and the soldiers stationed in the six towns of the northern frontier for many years and fought with Rouran were originally military nobles in the Xianbei nation, but in the Sinicization reform that Emperor Xiaowen did not perfect, the former military aristocracy has been poor to the point of being no different from prisoners, and the country's politics are dark. The angry soldiers and civilians of the Six Towns finally couldn't bear it anymore, so a vigorous uprising broke out in the Six Towns of the North.

The army of the Great Rebellion of the Six Towns in the North was led by Ge Rong, and it was held for several years in the north, until it was later defeated by Er Zhurong, but Er Zhurong brought the remnants of the rebellion of the Six Towns in the North and went straight to the center of the empire.

Er Zhurong was a peerless general of a generation, who defeated the rebels of the six northern towns in one battle with fewer victories, and later defeated Chen Qingzhi, a white-robed general in the Northern Wei Dynasty, in the suburbs of Luoyang. The victory of its soldiers, the people of the world dare not be restricted, so at that time, it was the Northern Qi Shenwu Emperor Gao Huan, the Northern Zhou Taizu Yuwentai, the father-in-law of the Three Dynasties Dugu Xin and other figures, all under the command of Er Zhurong.

Er Zhurong could have had a chance to dominate the world, but because of his killing order without careful consideration, everyone in the Northern Wei ruling class was put in danger, and Er Zhurong eventually died in a palace conspiracy against him. And the consequence of Er Zhurong being directly assassinated by the emperor he supported was the crumbling Northern Wei regime. Or Er Zhurong's army was quickly divided!

Gao Huan and Yu Wentai then took advantage of the situation and separately recruited a group of brothers to fight the world, until they later divided the northern land equally and replaced the Northern Wei Dynasty. Yuwentai's son, Emperor Wu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Yuwen Yong, won successive victories in the wars between the Northern Qi and the Southern Dynasties. It has laid a solid foundation for the final unification of the world!

So, how could the Guanlong military group headed by Yuwentai be able to overpower the other two parties and finally complete the great cause of reunification? Leaving aside the Xiao Liang and Chen regimes, which were more comfortable in the south, it is easy to see the causal relationship contained in them through the changes in the relative strength between the Northern Qi and the Northern Zhou.

At the beginning, Qi was strong and Zhou was weak, but the problem was that Yuwentai and his gang were brothers of life and death who were struggling to reclaim the barren Longxi Plain. Although Gao Huan is located in a prosperous and rich place in the east, his subordinates such as Hou Jing and others were originally the commanders of the Erzhurong era, and they were on a par with Gao Huan in the past.

Secondly, the rich and prosperous places in the east have also produced a hedonistic atmosphere, and the consequence is that there is serious political corruption, and social bribery has become commonplace, and this is incomparable with Yuwentai, who has to be strict in military discipline and honest in a difficult environment.

In addition, the Guanlong military group's approach to ethnic policy is also more than a step higher than Gao Huan's Eastern Wei Dynasty, and Gao Huan has tried to persuade both sides more than once in order to eliminate the contradictions between the Xianbei military aristocracy and the broad masses of the Han nation under his rule:

To the people of Han Min, he said this: Xianbei soldiers risked their lives to kill the enemy and defend their homes and the country, as a protected people, they should not be full of hostility towards the soldiers!

And when facing the Xianbei military aristocracy, Gao Huan said this: What we eat and use is from the hands of the Han people, and the Han people are our food and clothing parents, so we should not be too harsh on the Han people's demands.

It should be said that Gao Huan's efforts still had a certain effect, so when he was alive, the Han people and the Xianbei military aristocracy were still able to maintain peace and quiet, however, painting the ground as a prison, but after all, it could not permanently eliminate the contradictions, and with the death of Gao Huan, the rapid corruption of the Northern Qi Dynasty in governance, the contradictions between the Han people and the Xianbei military aristocracy were sharply antagonistic again!

Therefore, compared with Gao Huan, Yuwentai's means of dealing with ******** are much more clever: what Han people are Xianbei, let me integrate them all!

However, it is easy to speak, and you don't see the past of Fu Jian and Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty!

But then again, Fu Jian and Tuoba Hong failed because they always wanted to repeat the glory of the Han Empire in the past, but the goal of Yuwentai and the Guanlong military group was to eliminate internal ********, and the goals they wanted to achieve were different, and the focus of looking at the problem was naturally different.

Later, Yuwentai's sons established the Later Zhou Dynasty, and this Zhou character was the object that Yuwentai and the Guanlong military group decided to emulate: the Zhou Dynasty of the pre-Qin Dynasty.

And having said that, the Zhou Dynasty was indeed an excellent object of study, and the pioneering primogeniture system and patriarchal system not only profoundly influenced the process of Chinese civilization in later generations. The sub-feudal system was incomparably more applicable to the current situation of the Guanlong military group at that time, and learning from the Zhou Dynasty also had an extraordinary and profound significance to the Guanlong military group: in the beginning, from the perspective of the powerful Shang Dynasty, all the candidates including the Western Zhou Dynasty and Jing Chu. Isn't it also a barbarian? Moreover, in terms of geographical location, the area of Guanzhong occupied by the Guanlong military group was also the thriving place of the Zhou Dynasty back then, and Yuwentai and others aimed to learn from the Zhou Dynasty, in fact, not only to eliminate internal contradictions, but also promised a better future for all the members of the Guanlong military group.

Of course, although blindly retro learning from the Zhou Dynasty can indeed make the Guanlong military group gradually stronger, it is still far from enough for the Guanlong military group that wants to fully integrate the internal Guanlong military group, the reason is very simple, although the national boundaries of the pre-Qin Zhou Dynasty are not very clear. But after all, it is still the history of the Han people, and if you want to completely integrate the Xianbei military aristocracy with the Han nation, you can't do it without an appropriate amount of Xianbei, if you don't do this, not to mention the side, Yuwentai, the leader of the Guanlong military group, is completely unacceptable in his heart. However, it is not easy to carry out the right amount of freshness.

The Xianbei people are different from the Xiongnu. The Xiongnu already possessed a complete and highly civilized nomadic cultural civilization in the pre-Qin period of China, so they were able to become a serious scourge to the north of the empire in the Qin and Han dynasties. However, the Xianbei nation, until the decline of the Han Empire, is still in the era of ignorance, although the development and rise of the Han Dynasty since the end of the Han Dynasty is extremely rapid, but the shallowness of the background is really extremely pitiful, a very obvious chestnut: the Xianbei nation, and does not have its own writing!

So in the eyes of the upper echelons of the Guanlong military group. Any behavior that wants to carry out Xianbei in culture is SB, of course, this kind of retarded mind, including their worst enemy, Gao Huan, speaking Xianbei to the Xianbei nobles and Chinese to the Han people!

So what to do?

Rhetorical question: What is the most important and proud reason for the rise of Xianbei people? The answer is self-evident: the military system! So. Yuwentai's Xianbei is also the last point of this Xianbei person, and his approach is undoubtedly stronger than Gao Huan's thankless two-faced style, I don't know how many times!

So within the Guanlong military group, a Xianbei in the army began: all the Han military generals who made military achievements were given Xianbei noble surnames, and the Han soldiers under the command of the Han generals should all be changed to the same Xianbei noble surnames, so later the father of Yang Jian, the founding emperor of the Sui Empire, was given the surname Puliuru, and the grandfather of Li Yuan, the founding emperor of the Tang Empire, was given the surname Daye, etc., etc., such a change undoubtedly seemed to be a farce in the eyes of later generations, but at that time, Because of the fierce melee between the Guanlong military group and Gao Huan from the east, the Southern Dynasty in the south, and the Rouran in the north for many years, the sense of belonging of a single soldier to the army is extremely high, or that sentence, in the troubled times, people are always willing to follow the strong, and therefore, this Xianbei did not cause any dissatisfaction with the Han generals in the army, on the contrary, because of the surname, the cohesion within the Guanlong military group was greatly enhanced, because from then on, The Han soldiers within the Guanlong group no longer linger outside the Xianbei military aristocracy, but can truly participate in it and grasp the core power.

The Northern Zhou Dynasty, which was completely cohesive, fought against the Northern Qi Dynasty, which was full of internal contradictions, because Gao Huan was unable to weaken the Guanlong military group at the beginning, so when the Northern Zhou Dynasty became strong, it was only a matter of time before it was eliminated.

As for the Six Dynasties of the Southern Dynasties in a corner of the country, the six dynasties of the Southern Dynasties, those bullshit things that have been done are really disgusting to all those who know this history, of course, it is undeniable that the founders of the Six Dynasties, Sun Jian and his son, Sima Rui and Wang Dao, Liu Yu, the founder of Liu Song, Xiao Daocheng, the founder of Xiao Qi, Xiao Yan, the founder of Xiao Liang, and Chen Baxian, the founder of Nan Chen, are all heroes who are unique in ten thousand, but the problem is that they fled to the Shi family in the south. It was the Chinese civilization that had been corrupted at the end of the Han Empire, which had not been baptized by the war in the north, although the population of the south also suffered heavy losses under the initial plague, but this population decline did not promote the great transformation of civilization like the turmoil in the north, because the powerlessness of human beings in the face of natural disasters such as plague made the idea of timely pleasure more widespread in the six dynasties of the south.

Therefore, in any case, the six dynasties in the south will never be able to unify the world from the south to the north, because the biggest difference is not the physical fitness gap between the southerners and the northerners, but the obsolescence and innovation of culture! (To be continued.) )
