Chapter 263: Indelible
Hey, this is a bit incredible, you know, after the previous contact, Wuda always thought that this Tian Ya was a suitor who was eager to restore the Qi Kingdom, but he didn't expect to say such open-minded words.
It really made Wu Da a little impressed, and he sighed and comforted: "What is history? History is a line, a trajectory, from ancient times to the present and into the future, what has indeed happened, and what will happen. The meaning of its existence is to allow people to summarize the past, enrich the future, take history as a mirror, and use the past to discuss the present. As long as it's been around for years, it's bound to be meaningful! ”
Tian Ya looked at Wuda and smiled brightly: "Really?" Is it really meaningful to Qi Guo, who was once one of the seven heroes? ”
Wu Da smiled and said affirmatively: "Of course it makes sense!" For the Warring States Seven Heroes, I actually have some research! You know, it was a brilliant era, a hundred flowers blooming, and the nations were vying for hegemony, which was really an indelible and singing and crying time! ”
This is not to please this Tian Ya, but Wuda's heartfelt words.
Speaking of which, it is out of control, like a surging river.
"In 221 B.C., the main force of Qin, under the leadership of the famous general Wang Ben, suddenly attacked from the south of Yan to the north, and went straight to Linzi, the capital of Qi. King Jian of Qi surrendered under the persuasion of Xiangguo Housheng, the once glorious eastern overlord Qi State perished, and King Yingzheng of Qin completed the great cause of unification. After the unification of the Qin state, due to the adherence to the Legalist strategy of governing the country, it mainly revolved around three cores: centralization, agrarian ideology, and cultural autocracy. ”
Tian Ya took the lead in expressing disberence: "The insatiable desire of the tyrannical Qin is a cruel country!" ”
This Tian Ya is a descendant of the Qi Kingdom, of course, she is very unconvinced by the destroyer, which is also a normal thing.
Hardly surprising.
Of course, Wuda would not refute him about this, but nodded with a smile and said: "That's true, then let's look back at the Warring States Period, another big country with the ability to unify the world, the Qi State, after Jiang Ziya established the country, adopted a proper policy of peace of mind, and vigorously developed commerce, advocating the openness and exchange of ideas and culture, so that Qi quickly became rich and powerful." Qi had the most prosperous economic and cultural center in the world at that time, so it seems that Qi culture and Qin culture are just the opposite, the former has always been more superior, and it is easier to develop into a democratic, rich and powerful superpower. ”
This highly appreciated Qi Guo, saying that Tian Ya's eyes were shining, and she couldn't wait to go up to give Wuda a warm hug, and she had expressed her return to Wuda, but she still held back and asked deliberately: "Oh? Then can our Qi country really unify the world? Seems unlikely. ”
Wu Da smiled, if he followed Tian Ya's words, he would be a fool, he said with a smile: "It is not a joke that the Qi State can unify the world. After the reform of Guan Zhong during the reign of Duke Huan of Qi, the national strength of Qi grew rapidly. In the early Warring States period, the two wars of Qi were fought until the former overlord Wei turned from prosperity to decline. In 314 B.C., the "Rebellion of the Son" occurred in the Yan Kingdom, and King Xuan of Qi took the opportunity to order Kuang Zhang to lead the "soldiers of the five capitals" and "the people of the northern land" to capture the Yan Kingdom in more than 50 days. In 301 BC, Qi united with Han and Wei to attack Chu and defeated Chu. In 298 BC, Qi united Han and Wei to attack Qin, and attacked the Tianwei Hangu Pass, on which Qin depended for its livelihood, forcing the Qin king to cede land and claim to be a vassal. In 286 BC, King Xiang destroyed the Song Kingdom, invaded the Chu State in the south, and invaded the Sanjin Kingdom in the west, and the Qi State reached its peak. King Xiang intends to annex Erzhou (although it is a pit dug by Su Qin) and become the Son of Heaven. Even after the Five Kingdoms conquered Qi, under the rule of Tian Dan, the national strength of Qi still recovered rapidly, although it was not as good as the peak, but it was by no means inferior to Zhao, Chu and other countries. ”
Tian Ya nodded again and again when these words said: "Yes, yes, what Mr. said is very true, this is worthy of Mr., what you see is long-term and different!" I really don't know how many times I can outperform others. ”
Wu Da smiled and continued: "In other words, the State of Qi directly started a war with several powerful countries in the world at the same time in the first few decades of the Warring States Period, and beat the opponent quite embarrassed. At that time, the king of Qi had the idea of being the emperor of the world, and at that time, the Qi country was rich, the national strength was strong, and the back side was close to the sea, so there was no such worries as the Qin State in terms of strategy, and it was not impossible for Qi to unify the world. ”
"Then why didn't you dominate the world in the end, but was destroyed by the Qin State?" Tian Ya asked curiously, even she herself never thought that Qi Guo would still have a chance to dominate the world, Wu Da's words were really thought-provoking.
Wu Da looked at Tian Ya, and said sharply: "However, behind the strength of the Qi State, it has already laid hidden dangers for the later decline. The various crusades of the Qi State during the strong period were formed with all countries. Indeed, as a powerful country throughout the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the State of Qi has always had an extremely important influence. However, on the one hand, the submission relationship during the Warring States period was fragile, and it was also a country of a thousand times, and it might turn its face one day; On the other hand, the strength and weakness of the Warring States period were relative, and all countries were actively changing their laws and looking for ways to become strong. Second, the crusade of the Qi State during the period of strength was not like that of the Qin State, which did not go through a unified plan, that is, the purpose was only to achieve hegemony, not great unification. The long peak of the Qi State made the monarchs of the later dynasties lose their sense of distress, and there were few majestic kings like Duke Huan of Qi in later generations; In addition, after the invasion of the Five Kingdoms, Qi produced a huge psychological shadow, adopted the strategy of "non-alignment", and gradually withdrew from the disputes during the Warring States Period. The vassal states lost the support of the Qi State, and the Qin State had no worries about whether it destroyed the Three Jin Dynasty or the Chu State. ”
"This is the lesson that Qi has left us, and this period of time can never be erased." Wu Da finally ended his words solemnly, his eyes full of depth.
Tian Ya's whole person was stunned in place, Fang Cai's smile was still frozen on her face, if it wasn't for the fact that Wuda had left a too good impression on her before, I was afraid that she would be like thunder.
But Wuda's words were indeed reasonable, which made Tian Ya's heart full of desolation, but she couldn't get angry, and finally sighed and said: "I perished together, and it is really not a loss, I have to ask Mr. for words today, so that Tian Ya was stunned!" Thanks! ”
After that, Tian Ya really saluted and thanked Wu Da directly.
Wu Da hurriedly avoided and said softly: "The past cannot be admonished, and the comer can still be chased!" Princess, now, although Daqi has long perished, his history is still there, his legend is still there, his meaning is still there, this is the eternal and indelible existence, as long as we Han people can continue, these will not be annihilated! ”
