Mencius once said, "People will insult themselves, and then others will insult them", if you say it more seriously, it is "people do not improve themselves, and they will be humiliated." ”

Converted into an uneducated sand sculpture that netizens can also understand: If a person is shameless, then don't expect others to give face. If you are willing to be a salted fish all the time, you have to be mentally prepared to be slapped in the face sooner or later.

Again, this applies to a company or a country.

If you compare the American conscience with companies such as Tiktok and Huawei, Haier, etc., you will find that what Mencius said is simply the truth!

To put it bluntly, protesting and condemning every day will not bring peace, and kneeling and begging may not be able to survive.

But the emperors of the Great Song Dynasty who were enigmatic sand sculptures, as well as those so-called scholars who were full of poetry and books, but were actually hard inside and outside, obviously failed to understand Mencius's wise words of his old man-

The Tang Dynasty pressed the Wa Kingdom to the ground in the Battle of Baijiangkou and rubbed it, and the result was that the Wa State knelt and licked the Tang Dynasty frantically for more than two hundred years, until the first year of Tang Zhaozong Qianning clockwork, "The withering of the Tang Dynasty is loaded, let alone the questions of the court, and finally stopped in the Tang Dynasty." ”

On the contrary, the emperors of the Song Dynasty often personally received and rewarded the monks who came to the Great Song Dynasty through various channels, and took care of their Buddhist worship activities in China.

In the first year of Yuanfeng, the monk Zhong of the Wa Kingdom returned to China on the merchant ship of the Song Dynasty merchant Sun Zhong, and after receiving the report, Song Shenzong specially asked Sun Zhong to bring the "national sword" and the gift of the reward to the Wa court, because there was the word "return" in the official document, the Wa court reacted coldly.

Two years later, Song Shenzong, who did not receive any feedback, actually asked Song Dynasty businessman Huang Feng to take the opportunity of doing business to bring the "national court" to the Japanese, and the Japanese imperial court still decided to "treat it coldly" after holding five consecutive meetings of ministers to discuss countermeasures.

In the historical books such as "Dazaifu Tianmangong Historical Materials" of the Wa Kingdom, the words "the arrival of the Great Song Dynasty" appear many times, according to the combing, in the Northern Song Dynasty, except for Song Taizu, Song Yingzong and Song Qinzong, other emperors have sent documents to the Wa court and relevant parties in various forms, but the attitude of the Wa State has been quite cold.

To put it simply, the cowardly emperors of the Great Song Dynasty can use their hot faces to stick to the cold buttocks of the Wa Kingdom, but the Wa Kingdom dislikes them in every way, perhaps because they are not good-looking, or because their faces are not good enough to fit the shape of the buttocks.

The fundamental reason why there is such a situation in which the Japanese state can regard Su Dongpo as a god but treat the Great Song court as a piece of is not at all because of the political situation in the Central Plains as some people say, nor because the Japanese state thinks that it has surpassed China in terms of politics and culture, let alone because the Song Dynasty is unwilling to accept the "Song envoys".

The root cause is actually only four words:

The weak have no friends!

In the Heian period and the Kamakura shogunate period of the Wa Kingdom, it was the stage of the rise and development of the samurai regime of the Wa State, and the foreign strategy of "breaking away from the Song Dynasty" had its domestic political and geostrategic considerations, but fundamentally speaking, the main reason why the Wa State did not take the Great Song Dynasty seriously was in the Song Dynasty itself!

There is a famous saying called "a weak country has no diplomacy", although its source is "difficult to verify in detail", but this sentence contains an unbreakable truth -

The stronger a country's overall strength, the easier it is to carry out its diplomatic activities and the more friends it has in the international arena, while a weak country is just the opposite, as evidenced by the embarrassment of the Song Dynasty's relations with the Japanese state.

Three of the four great inventions were born, six of the "Eight Great Masters of the Tang and Song Dynasties", the imperial court's financial revenue created the peak of all dynasties, and the Great Song Dynasty, with a population of 80 million, was not strong enough!

In fact, the wealth of the Great Song Dynasty is only because of the superficial wealth caused by its statistical confusion, blindly retreating in the face of challenges, and negotiating peace again and again, in fact, it has meant that the Great Song Dynasty has taken the initiative to give up the status of the East Asian monster Fang Tuo.

Therefore, the Wa State dared not take the Great Song Dynasty seriously, so the Wa State dared to introduce the "sea-crossing system" that prohibited the people from going to sea, the "purchase ban" that restricted the purchase of goods from the Central Plains, and the "fixed age" that limited the number of times merchants and merchant ships from the Central Plains came to the Wa Kingdom.

But no matter what, no matter how fucked up the Great Song Dynasty, it is also its own country, and now he is the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, and if the Wa State does not give face to the Great Song Dynasty, it is naturally equivalent to not giving Zhao Huan face.

If you don't give face, it is equivalent to slapping the face of the peerless emperor Zhao Huan, who had overturned the world in his previous life and was preparing to overturn the world in this life.

This is the new hatred.

Not to mention the old hatred of the previous life.

Old hatred, old hatred, plus the new hatred now, especially in the case that once fifty-five VIPs are involved, it is easy to attract the dimensionality reduction blow of the river crab divine beast, Zhao Huan feels that it is more cost-effective to kill the Wa Kingdom.

Then, the question comes back to the original point of origin -

If you want to go on an expedition across the sea to conquer the Wa Kingdom, you must have a good enough sailor, and if you want to build a sailor who can overturn the world, you can't do without a warship that can sail across the sea.

And the warship of the Great Song Dynasty was burned by Zhao Jixiang's sand sculpture!

Now if you want to rebuild an invincible fleet, you need a sufficient amount of money and manpower in addition to the original blueprints. If you want to make further improvements to the battleship, you need more than just money and manpower -

For Zhao Huan, money is not a problem, as long as Emperor Zhao Jixiang has not hung up, he has a steady stream of small vaults to withdraw money. Manpower is also not a problem, because the most important thing in the Great Song Dynasty is people.

The problem is that if you want to play multi-riveting steaming steel, you need not only a sufficient number of masters, but also a sufficient number of scientific researchers.

But these readers of the Great Song Dynasty are all spoiled-

At the beginning, Zhao Da himself was not in the right position, and he had to play a trick of "sharing the world with scholars", in fact, just like Liu Yebo himself didn't believe in any nonsense about "respecting Confucianism", Zhao Da also killed when he should have killed scholars, and he never relented.

However, the fuck is that just as Confucianism has become a real Confucianism, sharing the world with scholars has also become a real world with scholars, Song Zhenzong Zhao Heng's sand sculpture can say "There are thousands of Zhongsu in the book, there is a golden house in the book, and there is Yan Ruyu in the book", and "Prodigy Poem" is even more righteous and bright shouting out the bullshit of "everything is inferior, only reading is high".

Then, the scholars of the Great Song Dynasty were almost abolished.

Let these scholars in the Great Song Dynasty study what Zi Shiyun is, then they must all be first-class masters, but if these people are asked to study how steel is made, then it can only be hehe.

"So, I'm a hard worker."
