Chapter 182: Why
That small country is said to be just an island country, with few people and few people, but people have a kind of bushido spirit, and every time they commit suicide, they commit suicide by seppuku, which is said to be a very high way to die. Therefore, their spirit is obviously much stronger than that of many Chinese people who are used to being little sheep, and they are simply calling for wind and rain in Kyushu. In order to deter the Chinese people, they implemented a three-light policy, which was to kill, burn, and rob the light. Of course, almost all bandits do this, even if the bandit organization is a country.
Wang Qing found that as long as a foreigner wants to occupy the land of China, if he wants to integrate, that is, Sinicization, it can last a little longer. If you want to treat the Han people like pigs and sheep, you will have a short-lived life, the most famous is the Yuan Dynasty ruled by the Mongols. Even if the Mongol iron hoof was so powerful that it was called the Yellow Peril in later generations, it was still overthrown more than a hundred years ago, and it was the shortest-lived powerful and unified dynasty in Chinese history.
Therefore, Wang Qing assigned a task to all the people of the Wang family who can understand history and summarize by themselves, that is, why did these dynasties perish? There is a good saying: to forget history means to betray!
Maybe the Chinese people are docile, as evidenced by the Yangzhou tragedy and the Nanjing Massacre, maybe no one has resisted, but the arms control that began in the Northern Dynasties and the atmosphere of emphasizing literature over military force have made many Chinese people powerless, so that they have earned the nickname of "the sick man of East Asia". Those who resisted lightly were suppressed, so the slaughter of the city was a template for the so-called strong to show!
This was true of the Mongols of that time, and the same was true of the Manchus in later generations. This is true even of the island nation that seeks to dominate the whole of East Asia.
Wang Qing is helpless every time he sees foreigners saying that Huaxia is a sleeping lion, although it broke out at the last moment and kept civilization, but can you not sleep anymore. You don't move forward, but others do. Just like the story of the tortoise and hare race, it was clear that the rabbit was good at running and was many steps ahead, but the rabbit went to sleep, and then the slow tortoise outran the rabbit that led many steps. Wang Qing only hopes that Huaxia's lion is good or the rabbit is good. Don't go to sleep. Do your best!
When Wang Qing collected all the information and summarized them all, he planned to use the statistical methods of later generations, which seemed very simple and clear. This time. Reading history is the hottest topic in the Wang family. Even the Wang family in Nanliang is like this. They have put forward their own opinions. Of course, this matter is confidential, and it is not allowed to be connected. I wonder why the Qing Dynasty of the Eastern Jin Dynasty only talked about metaphysics, that is, the emperor who held the power of life and death was not allowed to talk about politics. It had to be changed, and then it became a trend.
Wang Qing didn't plan to go head-to-head with those people in the Northern Dynasty, it was better to save the country with a curve, there was no comparison, how could he know that his family was good! And there are a lot of things that can only be taken slowly. The most important thing is that when Wang Qing saw the two Taoist priests of Longhu Mountain, he suddenly had an idea, is it not only possible to use some talismans here, but even select some people to learn flower talismans! In this way, you can use the talisman in various lives. Wang Qing did it if he wanted to, tried it first, and found that it was limited to the primary talismans, not the intermediate and advanced talismans, Wang Che and they could only see the primary ones.
Wang Qing is already very good, in fact, Wang Qing's arrival has changed history, so it is okay to make a little change. Since Wang Che saw the wonderful use of Wang Qing's talisman, he has turned into a strongman who draws talismans, and he has practiced it very much.
But today, Wang Qing took a few older children into the conference room, most of the Wang family was present, Wang Che took a few children to spread out a long piece of paper, everyone looked at it, they were all columnars, looked at each other, no one understood, what is this? However, there are a few words at the top, which are 'the reason for the fall of the imperial dynasty', so I understand a little.
Wang Qing watched them paste the picture, and then Wang Che took his friends to sit aside. "Okay, I'll start with a few words. Everyone participated in this event seriously, which is why this histogram was drawn. Let's look at the first pillar first: when the emperor is incompetent, it is almost unanimously passed. Wang Qing nodded, and said a little ridiculously: "It can be seen that sometimes, dragons give birth to dragons, phoenixes give birth to phoenixes, and the sons of mice will make holes, this sentence is sometimes wrong, and the emperor's children and grandchildren may not be able to be good emperors." ”
Many people present burst into laughter, and after Wang Qing and the laughter were quiet, he pointed to the second one, "The officials are in a bad position, and they are basically unanimous, there is a good saying: The crooked-mouthed monk recites the scriptures, who did this official?" This is an important question. If it is for wealth and glory, for money and beauty, and for being able to overwhelm people, then how can this official be the master of the people? ”
"The third is land annexation, more than half of which are noted. In fact, when the land was concentrated in Haoqiang, a large number of people and land were no longer required to pay taxes, so the imperial court became more and more unable to collect money, and fewer and fewer people could be sent out to fight. As a result, the imperial court can only double the pressure on those who can pay taxes and serve, and make more people rely on Haoqiang. The imperial court also had to squeeze more, so a vicious circle was formed, until finally the entire dynasty collapsed and had to be reshuffled and restarted. Wang Qing nodded, this was also an important reason for the fall of the dynasty.
"The fourth reason is that the invasion of foreign enemies, especially the ethnic minorities in the north, often becomes the last straw that breaks the camel's back. In fact, as long as you think about every time you come to rob, the dynasty not only does not punish, but also often has to show the demeanor of a great country and give money and things, then it is no wonder that nomads often come to rob. Whenever Wang Qing thought of this, he didn't know how to comment on these hostile behaviors.
After Wang Qing complained, he pointed to the next article, "The combat effectiveness of the army has declined." At the beginning of the founding of the country, the combat effectiveness of the imperial court was still somewhat preserved, but with the passage of time, the swords and guns were put into storage, and the horses were put into Nanshan. Then it is already inferior to the generation, but the nomadic tribes in the north have always maintained a strong fighting force. ”
Wang Qing then pointed to the next one, "Some people also want to be emperors." As soon as this article was read, some people laughed a few times, but seeing that everyone was serious, they hurriedly restrained their smiles, Wang Qing nodded: "This is true, the Cao family robbed the Liu family's world, not too young, the Sima family robbed the Cao family's world again, this is really the emperor takes turns, come to my house this year!" "Many people can't help but think of the five dynasties and ten kingdoms, often the wall changes the king's flag, that chaos! It's too bad for everyone to want to be emperor.
Wang Qing finally said: "Have you seen it? The replacement of the dynasty is inevitable, once there are all kinds of contradictions in the dynasty, and the contradictions are irreconcilable, they will often break out because of natural disasters and man-made disasters and other reasons, and then the old dynasty will collapse and a new dynasty will be established. ”
"In fact, why the old dynasty came to this point, everyone should have some understanding, there are all kinds of reasons we just saw, in fact, I think there is one thing that is most lacking." Speaking of this, Wang Qing looked around the people sitting here, obviously no one came up with it, and some of them had their hands on their cheeks. Thinking carefully, some eyes scanned the books one by one, looking for answers, and some people stared at Wang Qing, hoping that she could reveal the answers.
Wang cleared his throat, "I can't tell you directly, but I can tell you a story, and I hope you can find the answer from it, and you will know what I mean." (To be continued......)
