Chapter 525: Flower Monk Zhu Yuanzhang (8)

Zhu Yuanzhang and Yao Guangxiao had just walked not much distance when they were rushed by a group of cavalry shouting loudly behind them to receive the news. The bunnies were obviously very happy, and galloped all the way, not caring about the slightest bad influence.

Of course, it was impossible for them to notice the evil spirits behind them, and the dust they raised covered Zhu Yuanzhang's face, causing him to quickly wave his huge sleeves and keep fanning.

"So fast? is really worthy of being the first general of the Tang Dynasty. can be in the Tang Dynasty, where the famous generals are like clouds, firmly grasp the position of military power, and he is really a capable person, thinking about it, Xu Da often meets spring, and he is far inferior to this person! ”

Hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's exclamation, Yao Guangxiao said with some disapproval: "Your Majesty Taizu may not have noticed that those soldiers who reported victory did not have a murderous aura on their faces at all. In other words, these recruits have not experienced the baptism of iron and fire at all, so where did this victory come from? ”

"Could it be that he is lying about the military situation?" Zhu Yuanzhang, who heard this, was immediately shocked, the empire had just been established, and it was the time when everything was in ruins and in the ascendant. At this time, many people are high-spirited, they can't imagine that this Xue Rengui is so bold and dares to lie about the military situation at such a time, isn't he worried that after being found out, he will become the target of public criticism? Then how will he mix in the empire in the future?

"Of course it's not a lie about the military." Yao Guangxiaohe said with a smile, "It's just that they didn't rely on hard power to win this war, but what other good methods they used." ”

Hearing this explanation, Zhu Yuanzhang let go of his worries. For a famous general with great achievements, it is naturally normal to play some small tricks and use some scheming, and today it is difficult to leave his name in the history of war with the courage of his horseman.

"If that's the case, the progress of the Empire. It has a solid guarantee. ”

Yao Guangxiao, however, was very unimpressed, and development and expansion naturally required military force. But he knew very well in his heart that if he wanted to govern a region that was better than the government, he had to have a thorough cultural integration.

Among the four great ancient civilizations in the history of the world, the Chinese civilization is the worst performing except for the extinct Babylonian kingdom.

Although, Egypt's performance is not much better, but compared to Greece. The performance of Chinese civilization is far worse, when the Greek civilization gradually declined, the Roman civilization replaced them, but the glory of Greece is still burning, it shines on Rome. The history of the development of the Roman Empire, which did not even have its own writing, which is obviously unthinkable today, even the Liao and Western Xia. All had their own writing, and it was unbelievable that a mighty Roman Empire did not have its own writing.

However, they are not without carriers of recorded history. Because they consume spicy words. They inherited a lot of cultural treasures from Greece, so even if Greece was in a certain period of time. Basically has become like the nations, but the fire of his civilization. The continent of Europa is blazing, and as long as this fire is not extinguished, he can return to the country at any time.

Later, this tinder larva and the fire of life of the Renaissance, although it is inevitable to be suspected of being used, there is no doubt that this kind of exploitation is also valuable, why are other civilizations not used? I wasn't targeted by philosophers and artists!

Naturally, this has its own unique features. However, Greek civilization is not the best in this regard. The theocratic Arab empire built by a certain green religion was the best in this regard.

With a sword in one hand and a Quran in the other. This method has proven to be the most convenient form of expansion in the history of the world.

They relied on the sword to conquer their lands, and their scriptures to conquer people's hearts, and in this way, their empire soon occupied places that they had never occupied. And digest them step by step, giving them a deep, Muslim imprint. To this day, for more than 1,400 years, this mark has not been washed away by the long river of history.

And look at China, no matter how brutal the war is, the general outline of the territory is always the same, even if there is a change of dynasty, the new imperial court will not add much to the territory. There were even some dynasties that could not complete the real and complete unification at all. Not to mention the fact that the Arab Empire has fought more than a dozen times the territory.

After Qin Shi Huang unified Liuhe, he basically established the foundation of today's China's territory. Although in terms of area, it is far inferior to the contemporary territory, but from the perspective of development level, the Chinese homeland laid by Qin Shi Huang has always occupied a central position in the history of our country.

In the following 2,000 years, none of the descendants of Yan and Huang could make the civilized Xinjiang as stable as the homeland of Qin Shi Huang.

The 9.6 million square kilometers of territory we have today are actually sorry for the 2,000 years of development.

Why? Our swords are not sharp enough, and our books are not demagogic enough.

However, for the down-to-earth sons and daughters of China, it is normal for metal not to deceive people's hearts, because in the eyes of the people under the small peasant economy, scriptures should not be demagogic in the first place.

The sword is not sharp enough, which is also normal, because the mainstream doctrine under the small-scale peasant economy, in view of the irreconcilable contradiction between a certain amount of land resources and the growing population, has always advocated peace and harmony as the main theme, and they only blindly emphasize that they do not want accidents, but they have neither the ability to completely avoid accidents, nor the ability to solve them after accidents.

Now, what the newly-born empire needed to do was to sharpen its sword and write its scriptures to perfection, so that their new religion was born, which was Cosmopolitanism.

Along the way, Yao Guangxiao was discussing his ideas with Zhu Yuanzhang, and slowly, the two of them made up for each other, and saw that he had come up with a relatively mature system, at least, they discussed the meaning and goal of religious existence more clearly.

With this relatively complete theoretical system, Zhu Yuanzhang will be more comfortable in the face of the turmoil in Beijing.

However, the scholars and doctors under the poison of Confucianism have their stubborn worldview, and after thousands of years of various shocks, they still stubbornly exist, although it has seriously violated the original intention of Confucius at that time, but countless people still regard her as a guide. If you want to propagate the Datong Sect in his rule, you will have to confront them.

And the city of Beijing is where they are most concentrated. (To be continued......)
