Chapter 310: Accumulation Change (33)
Shao Ping's situation is only the tip of the iceberg of the Black Turban Army, and it is by no means an ordinary isolated case, the reason why Bai Liyan (i.e. Wei Xian) concluded that the Black Turban Rebellion had subsided for ten years was precisely because Shao Ping's corruption was so fast that it was jaw-dropping.
At the beginning of the new establishment of the dynasties, relatively speaking, the most basic justice and integrity were guaranteed. The reason for this is that the generation of people who fight the country knows that it is not easy to fight the country, and it depends on the will of the people to sit firmly in the country.
Therefore, where the country is newly created, all dynasties have made great efforts to develop the economy, stabilize the society, and open up the way.
The Black Turban rebels have only been in trouble for a short year, and they have not yet dominated the world, and there is already a sign of decay at the end of the dynasty within the current ruling territory.
In addition, the rebels have their own opinions and opinions, and their strategic policies are at odds with each other, and the struggle for power within them has greatly constrained their cohesion. Since ancient times, there has never been a precedent for any power to dominate the world under the circumstances of huge internal divisions, and there is no earth and this world will not have it.
Even though Gongsun Yue is extremely intelligent, he does not have the two generations of Baili Yan as a human being, and he has a clear understanding of history and the laws of world development.
The defeat of the Black Turban Army was precisely the final result of its inability to recognize the objective laws of reality and its insistence on going its own way, which was exactly the same as the mistake of Gong Shukuo who put forward the strategic policy of crossing the ocean to garrison the country, swallowing up the Xian country, and advancing from east to west.
Manpower is always exhausted, not to mention the current bronze-dominated agrarian social system, has not yet completed the transition of iron, in the internal system has not been purged, technology has no essential leap in support, rashly open the east and west two fronts, provoke all the big countries in the territory, in Bailiyan's view, the black turban army set ancient and modern strategic drawbacks, from the beginning of its uprising, doomed to inevitable failure.
Sensei said that in this time and space, throughout the history of the earth, there is no country or nation that can open two fronts and provoke all the powerful countries under the situation of serious internal corruption and degeneration, and the contradictions cannot be reconciled, and the one who has successfully defeated and survived in the end has not.
The limitations of history and the narrowness of the scope of cognition eventually led the two schools of foolishness and eloquence astray, and Gongsun Yue's self-confidence was only the material basis for piling up in violation of objective laws.
It is undeniable that the material basis is the main reason for the victory or defeat of the war, but it is not the whole of it, and it is the people who ultimately dominate the war, and the will, quality and determination of the people are the core of the final victory in the war, especially in agrarian societies.
"Gongsun Xiangguo, Wei does not deny that Xiangguo has worked hard to manage a lot of heavy grain and grass for the rebels, but everyone like Shao Ping is full of private pockets, and those in power are extremely arrogant and lascivious, what are the similarities and differences between this and the late dynasties of the past dynasties, compared to the current Xianguo, it is even inferior.
Could it be that the unification of the country planned by Xiangguo is just for another group of people, who are extremely extravagant and exploit the people, or is it that Gongsun Xiangguo just wants to be a coward who is a disaster party, stinking for thousands of years, and being scolded! ”
Xu Shi talked about Gongsun Yue's sore spots, and when he mentioned the foolish school, Gongsun Yue's emotions were extremely excited:
"That's enough, what does the foolish faction do, what does it have to do with the country and the Tao."
"As the saying goes, it can be seen that Shao Ping's population is only tens of thousands, how many Shao Ping are under the rule of the Black Turban Army, how many cities are under the rule of the Foolish Sect, and how many baggage are greedy by officials like Shao Ping, and how much does your grandson Xiangguo know.
The Xianguo is still a small country, and the king of Xian connived at the evil of the country, and was constrained by the national body, and the clan was constrained by it. The land occupied by the Black Turban Army is four times the size of the Xian Kingdom, and the officials are all new figures of various factions, and there is no blood bond between them.
There is no degree, and there is no national body, how can people's seven emotions and six desires be satisfied, in the long run, everyone is greedy for ink, everyone is arrogant and lascivious, and the black turban army can not succeed. Even if they hoard grain and grass, often for a long time, no one can guarantee that every grain of grain will enter the stomach of the soldiers. ”
As long as there are people, there must be rivers and lakes, in other words, as long as there are rivers and lakes, there must be mountains.
Under the feudal monarchy, the monarch is the largest hill and landlord, and the closest relationship between the monarch and the foreign relatives is the so-called clan.
The clan is the several forces that the monarch always relies on, and the blood bond is to ensure that the clan and clan can unite around the monarch to the greatest extent, followed by the clan's own mountain, as well as the mountain formed by the monarch's appointed civil and military generals.
These three hills constitute the core of the monarchy's centralized power, and they are also a group of people at the top of the pyramid of interests in the entire state system, and then the whole country is constantly differentiated and evolved from these three hills, and finally extends its tentacles to every corner of the whole country, and finally forms a perfect interest bond under the feudal system.
The Black Turban Army, on the other hand, was like locusts, swarming up when the incident occurred, using all kinds of cult ideologies and concocted utopias in the air, wantonly plundering wealth and land.
There is neither the core blood bond of the feudal monarchy, nor the modern party system, but more like a rabble gathered in several Wagang villages. The situation is unfavorable, and they turn to the cult ideology to propagate a sanctimonious change of life against the heavens, but in fact it is still a war launched by a small poke of people to seize power.
A change of regime is essentially a group of people ousting another group of people from a position of power in order to achieve the goal of coming to power again. No matter what the era, no matter who comes to power, the motive of ruling is always for profit.
Some are for the interests of the public, but more for the interests of a small group of interest groups, the feudal dynasty is for the interests of the monarchy, and the Black Turban Army is more like a group of thieves who take what they need.
"In Wei's view, the Black Turban Army is just a group of thieves, not even a thief, at best, a thief who deceives the world and steals the authority of the world for his own selfishness.
How can you have a little compassion for the people of the world, if there really is, why did the people of Xianguo fall to the place where their lives are miserable today. Today's debate between you and me is both a longitudinal and a conclusive conclusion.
Since ancient times, those who have won the hearts of the people have won the world, and the Black Turban Army has coerced the people of the world with crooked reasoning and heresy. For a long time, the people will not be able to share the benefits and benefits, and how can the Heavenly Sect that is admired by the foolish sect be maintained.
Prime Minister Gongsun, it's time to wake up and surrender, there is no need to let these soldiers be buried with you. They have wives and children in their families, and if you have even the slightest mercy, you should know that everything you have done is in vain, and at most it will increase your life. ”
"No, eloquence will never be defeated, no!" Gongsun Yue roared, an unprecedented gaffe.
"The hearts of the people in the world are mighty, and the brutal will not end well after all. Even if it is not done by you and others, how can it not be done by you, and the absence of blood on your hands does not mean that there is no blood debt.
On the contrary, because during the more than ten years when your Gongsun Yue was in power, the number of people starving in Xian alone reached one million, and your Gongsun Yue could not escape the blame. You can know that the Male Dao is undefeated, but in fact, the Male Dao has completely failed at the beginning of its establishment a hundred years ago, do you know why! ”
"Why?" Gongsun Yue was stunned, and the confusion in his eyes was unprecedented.
"Because evil does not prevail over good!"
"Evil does not prevail over good!"
At present, there is no such thing as "evil does not prevail over good," and a large reason is that it is due to the confusion of the "program of principles."
Unlike the benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and faith of the Spring and Autumn Period of China, and the etiquette of the Warring States Period, there is no basic bottom line between the vassal states and the vassal states, and the bottom line is the basis of the basic principles.
When order loses its basic principles, the result is that evil and thieves are rampant, and the more evil and cruel the means, the more they are regarded as clever schemes, and on the contrary, the more they pay attention to moral integrity and shame, and they are regarded as pedantic.
In particular, the major schools of thought at the top of the ideology, the royalist ideology headed by the Chengdao faction, have been unable to promote the reunification of the territory for a long time.
In the end, the result was that the suffering of the people in the middle of the division of the princes and kingdoms deepened, prompting other schools of thought to change their ways and further accelerate the unification of the territory, so that the people of the world could be liberated as soon as possible.
In Bai Liyan's view, neither religion nor cult is conducive to the stability of the political situation, and it is only a Q-style self-consolation of the spiritual victory method, which is no different from drinking a donkey to quench thirst.
Compared with the foolish school, the Tao is more radical, but all means to hasten the unification to achieve the end are regarded as a sharp weapon. He can even go so far as to aggravate the current suffering of the people, seek stability in the overall situation, and call it "sacrificing the small self to complete the big self".
Like Gongsun Yue, those who use the authority of Xiangguo to harm the people of Xianguo and seek strategic benefits for the sake of eloquence have this kind of thinking.
In Bai Liyan's view, the actions of the eloquent and foolish schools are all crooked and heretical bastards, and the only way to achieve the true righteousness is to let the people have enough food and clothing, three meals a day, eat firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea, the law must be just, the society must be stable, and unscrupulous means to achieve the goal can only be to drink water to quench thirst and bring about self-destruction.
The reason why Xianguo has been able to survive until now is that after King Xian enabled Zhao Xun and Bailiyan, he adopted a series of loose policies, intensified public opinion propaganda offensives, improved productivity, and brought new economic income to technology and cognition, which further stabilized the society and united the people.
More importantly, the old feudal magnate system has not yet collapsed, the idea of the ruling of the magnates is deep-rooted, the political power is still firmly in the hands of the elite class, and the canonization system of the Liang State is even more legal orthodoxy, and it is the Black Turban Army that has adopted the wrong strategy in the wrong time and space.
Of course, history also played a huge joke at the same time, and the appearance of Baili Yan eventually led to the Black Turban Army stopping on the banks of the Yongxing River, and all cause and effect had both its accident and its inevitability.
If Bailiyan's appearance is accidental, it can be predicted that even if there is no Bailiyan's unexpected appearance, the Black Turban rebels will be defeated sooner or later.
The Black Turban Army cannot bring real social stability, and will inevitably be replaced by other emerging forces and ideas, and the emergence of Bailiyan has only accelerated this process.
"Xiangguo, come down, the king is not a cruel person, he will definitely give you a decent result."
"No, I haven't lost yet!"
Gongsun Yue tried to make the last struggle, but Bai Liyan saw the fierce face of the Xiong Argument faction more clearly, Gongsun Yue's so-called did not lose, but it was the unreachable Guangxin, and the Black Turban Army must have secretly sent troops to attack Guangxin while using the Chenling mutiny.
