Chapter Twenty-Seven: White Left
In later generations, there was a special word to represent Zhang Han's kind of people, that is, Bai Zuo.
This word, which was born on the Chinese Internet, has been translated back by Westerners in English mode, and has aroused common repercussions in society.
What is White Left?
The definition of the white left is understood differently among different groups on the Internet, but in general, it mainly refers to that part of the biased naΓ―ve elitists.
They ignore social realities, use double standards all year round, only care about immigration, minorities, environmental protection, etc., and are ignorant of the more serious problems in the real world, obsessed with political correctness, pity the rest of the world, and consider themselves saviors. β
Although the term appeared very late, the term regressive left was used to describe them, and by the time of the Internet age, the white left had evolved for several generations.
With the exception of the last generation of drug addicts, homosexuals occupy the main strata of the group, in fact, the first three generations are all famous "big shots" in history.
However, even if it was the earliest Voltaire, it was still two hundred years before he was born, and Zhu Zhanji did not expect that a white leftist figure like Zhang Han would be born in today's Ming Dynasty.
However, he does fit the label of the white left, naΓ―ve, paranoid, elite, and only a superior life will give birth to an unrealistic figure like him.
If you are really born in a poor family and can't even eat every day, how can you still have the heart to care for others.
In fact, there is nothing wrong with them caring for others, but the fault is that they are too naΓ―ve, always thinking that they are right, and those who oppose them are wrong.
They are too bigoted, as long as you don't agree with my thoughts, you are evil and you should be defeated.
They are too condescending to know that their concerns are often trivial, and they turn a blind eye to really serious problems.
In his second life, Zhu Zhanji studied the role of white leftism in the Syrian war, and the root cause of the farce in which they used refugees to make a mess in Europe, and then shirked each other's responsibilities.
The first generation of Voltaire and Rousseau, they advocated love and tolerance, but they did not love the people around them, but admired the enslaved people in other regions.
But in the second generation of Hegel, they became absolute liberalism, socialism, communism, anarchism and egoism.
The Hegelians gathered in Berlin bars all day long to brag and blacken him with the dialectics they had learned from Hegel.
The routine of this group of people is basically the same as that of the Donglin Party at the end of the Ming Dynasty and the imperialist struggle for hegemony in the 19th century.
That is both collusion and struggle, and sometimes they boast to each other, you say that I am the most important thinker of the nineteenth century, and I say that you are the brightest star of post-German philosophy.
Sometimes they look down on each other and spray at each other, he says you are Hegel's lackey, I say he licks Fichte's ass.
Sometimes they cooperate to cheat, sometimes they dig into each other's corners, and in the process of their collusion and struggle, these important ideas are gradually perfected and formed.
It wasn't until one of them who was disgusted with their endless fantasies and mutual sprays, and their deceptive careers under the guise of love and tolerance, resolutely broke away from the tavern of the Young Hegelians and wrote a series of eloquent essays by the young man's name, Max.
The mark of Max's parting of ways with the second generation of the White Left was Ludwig Feuerbach and the End of Classical German Philosophy.
This bull-explosive Xiongwen was compiled and translated in Chinese similar to the "Myoho-renge-hua Sutra", most people do not know what to do, but if you look at the original or English version, it is not difficult to see that there is only one central idea expressed in the whole text: I am not targeting anyone, I mean everyone here is spicy chicken.
After the first world war, the rapid changes in the world, the third generation of white leftists were disappointed and confused by many isms.
Led by Horkheimer and Ardano, Marcuse and Habermas, Derrida and Sartre, and Foucault, they established academic circles one after another, and they did have some academic achievements, but they had begun to differ significantly from the original White Left.
They like to expand their influence and promote themselves, but when the forest is big, there are all kinds of birds.
Let those mediocre people who follow their idols and mentors and like to cheat on anti-war demonstrations become the ancestors of the postmodern white left.
From the confused generation of anti-war after World War II, to the hippie and yuppie era, these white leftists have really degenerated.
They are like experts who have become bricks, who can only compare and compare, but they have lost the essence of their own thoughts.
In Zhu Zhanji's previous life, Bai Zuo went farther and farther down the crooked road, and he was more and more despised.
In short, they are a group of people who originated from Western civilization itself, but have become the opposite of Western civilization, and mistakenly regard the problems and by-products of the development of Western civilization as Western civilization itself.
Exploitation in society, the widening gap between the rich and the poor, gender discrimination, racial discrimination, monopoly, one-dimensional man, entertainment industrialization, and environmental pollution are of course the problems that arise in the development of civilization, but these are only by-products of capitalism and civilization, and the white left regards them as capitalism and civilization itself, and opposes them indiscriminately.
For example, in order to promote freedom of personality, they demand the legalization of drug use and homosexuality. In response to the obstruction of illegal immigration, the government often moves out humanitarianism.
In order to promote homosexuality, the opposite sex has the right to go to the men's toilet if they want to go to the men's restroom, and go to the women's restroom if they want to go to the women's restroom.
They ignore social morality and order, and even turn a blind eye to the serious social problems caused by it.
An important characteristic of the white left in later generations is its shallowness, ignorance and fanatical exclusivity, which is caused by a lack of systematic study and research, and fanatical exclusivity is a by-product of shallowness - it is difficult for them to understand different points of view anyway, so they simply choose not to listen at all.
So in the end, people will find that the words of the contemporary white leftists have no logic, they come up full of judgments, no arguments, and all shouts.
Whoever opposes it is a heretic and needs to be eliminated and defeated.
Therefore, Zhu Zhanji was very disgusted with Bai Zuo.
Of course, from the perspective of dialectical thinking, today's white left thought has just sprouted, and there are very few people like Zhang Han.
And the knowledge he received from a young age allows him to look at the problems of society as a whole systematically, and there may be some solutions.
Zhu Zhanji did not expect him to become Marx, but as long as he could become a person like Voltaire, Rousseau, and Hegel, he could also play a great role in leading social change in Europe.
In the face of such changes, everything can be controlled in the hands of the Ming Dynasty, and it will be difficult to control if Europe is really allowed to develop freely.
If the Ming had conquered Europe with an army, the people would have rallied under the wing of the Church and let the idea of rebellion pervade.
Unlike Europe in the nineteenth century, the Ming Dynasty needed the resources of the East, so when they could not occupy the Qing Dynasty, they supported agents and plundered interests.
For the Ming Dynasty, the other continents have been occupied, leaving only a barren Europe for the whites. If you don't have enough benefits, it's not cost-effective to send troops, send people, and bother to conquer them.
And letting the General Administration Department and people like Zhang Han go to Europe to engage in separatism, sabotage, and guidance can play a much stronger role than occupying Europe.
How to use people like Zhang Han has become the direction of Zhu Zhanji's consideration.
It was not difficult for him to become the father of the Enlightenment in Europe. As long as Da Ming protects him and prevents the church from assassinating him, some of his ideas will definitely set off a wave of ideas in Europe.
When the people are at odds with the Church, when they find themselves dependent on the Ming Dynasty for development, when they lack the means of production, the chaos in Europe will continue.
In this process, Daming can use the principle of talent siphoning to attract people of insight from Europe, which increases the difficulty of European development.
This is the purpose of people like Zhang Han, and Zhu Zhanji can't let him spoil his own business.
Therefore, the main purpose of today's feast is to completely conquer him ideologically.
Only with this idea of subjugation will he actively devote himself to the great cause of liberating the peoples of Europe. As for Da Ming, he is already more civilized than he expected, what else does he have to say?
Hearing Zhu Zhanji's question, he got up and first hugged his fist at Zhu Zhanji, and then said to the hundred officials: "Your Majesty has just made a detailed analysis of the phenomenon of Europa and Daming, and the ministers have benefited a lot. Xiaochen has been studying the different social structures of the Ming Dynasty and the West, and he also has some shallow insights into the differences between the two sides, and I hope that His Majesty and you will correct it. β
Zhu Zhanji nodded and said, "But it doesn't hurt to talk about it." β
Zhang Han nodded at Zhu Zhanji, and said to the hundred officials: "My Ming Dynasty respects the imperial power, and Europa, including Dashi and Persia, is respected by the divine right, which is the biggest difference between the two sides in terms of social structure.
However, it is only the difference between theocracy and imperial power, but it is not the most fundamental difference between the two structures, and the real difference lies not in the imperial power and theocracy, but in the class connection.
Although my Daming Lehu is still a lowly family, it is also like ordinary people, and has a channel for upward development.
As long as you are willing to study and have a skill, you will have the opportunity to change your fate. An ordinary person, by reading and studying things, can become a technician and an official, as long as he is not afraid of death and can lead the army, he can become a general and a nobleman.
And the noble class, the official class, if they break the law, may become criminals and become commoners. This is where my Ming Dynasty really leads Europa and Persia, the big cannibal.
Their social structure is rigid, and the common people can only become knights at most, and if they become nobles, they will always be nobles. The lord did not have the right to rule over the earthly nobility, which led to the whole society being like a stagnant water.
They only have the passage of the church open, but in this way, the power of the church has increased greatly, and the power of the church has increased greatly, and in turn, it has suppressed the royal power and suppressed the administrative power, so that their people are at a loss, and the people's livelihood is becoming more and more difficult.
The ministers thought that if they wanted to develop in Europe, the Great Cannibals, or the Persians, they had to open the channel between classes, and only in this way would the flowing water not rot. β
Zhu Zhanji nodded and said: "You can see this clearly, but the backwardness of Europe is in the interests of the Ming Dynasty." β
Zhang Han saluted sideways and said, "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that only when there are more fish in the pond can there be more harvests." β
At this time, it is inconvenient for Zhu Zhanji to directly express his opinion, because his words are the golden mouth and jade rule, and if he expresses his objections, absolutely no one dares to refute them.
So he looked at Zhang Hai, who was eager to try, and asked, "What is Guangyuan's opinion?" β
Zhang Hai is afraid that his younger brother will become the target of public criticism today, which will affect the Zhang family. So he took the lead in objecting: "Your Majesty, it is a good thing to have more fish, but beware of raising big fish that can eat people." β
Zhu Zhanji nodded, and looked at Xie Yun who raised his hand again. "What is Xie Aiqing's different opinion?"
Xie Yun is extremely talented, and he is famous for being a pioneer in the cabinet, he bowed down and said: "The minister went to the court today, and met the son of a small merchant who was unwilling to go to the school, and was beaten by a small merchant. The minister wanted to stop him, but he was nameless...... The minister just wanted to ask Captain Zhang Qidu, if this situation happens, what do you want? β
Zhang Han shook his head and said: "If the son makes a mistake, it is natural for the father to beat the son, and the lower officials naturally have no reason to discipline him. β
Xie Yun asked again: "This is still the business of my Ming people, and it is inconvenient to interfere, so what does it matter to you about the affairs of Europa!" You are no longer on duty in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, nor are you on an errand in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, nor are you called by the Imperial Court, so why should you be so concerned about the affairs of Europa? Your Majesty, this heart can be punished! β
Zhang Han's face turned red when he was told by the other party, but he was unwilling to be slandered by Xie Yun so much, and then he wanted to refute it.
Li Xian came out to be a good person at this time, he deliberately interrupted Zhang Han's words, and said with a smile: "Master Xie is a little restless, Zhang Qidu Lieutenant is so kind, this is a good thing." It just so happened that the Huai River was flooding this autumn, and countless fertile fields were destroyed. β
Zhang Han's face became embarrassed. Hubu Shangshu Bai Gui asked again: "In the annual report of the South Continent of Dongzhou last year, there was an earthquake in the land under the jurisdiction of King Su, with more than 1,000 casualties. β
Seeing that the ministers attacked Zhang Han's Madonna watch, and he had nothing to say, Zhu Zhanji had no choice but to speak out.
Although he couldn't see Zhang Han's Madonna, now that he wanted to use Zhang Han, he couldn't let the ministers beat him to death with a stick.
White leftists like Zhang Han and others do not distinguish between priority and urgency, distance between distance and proximity, and their positions cannot help but be questioned.
You can't even take care of the people around you and your relatives, but you have to run to help people of different races, and no matter how you refute it, your ass is crooked.
The ministers of the court are not well-informed and experienced, and they can even be regarded as cunning and cunning.
A young man like Zhang Han, in their hearts, is not an opponent at all, just a few words, he will not be able to form an army.
Zhu Zhanji relieved Zhang Han and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, this ruler is short and long, everyone's ability is different, and they can play different roles in different positions.
The imperial court established multiple official evaluations, the purpose of which was to tap the abilities and strengths of officials and let them play a better role.
Although Zhang Han is inferior to you in serving the country and the people and serving the government as an official, his ideological consciousness is also worthy of praise. As young as he is, as a landlord, he is naturally beyond his ability, but if he is allowed to serve as a school attendant, do you think he can be competent? β
Zhu Zhanji waved his hand, and several chamberlains took out a stack of mimeographed Zhang Han's manuscripts and sent them to the hundred officials. Everyone looked down.
Zhang Han can't figure out what Zhu Zhanji wants to do now, judging from his actions, this grandfather is still more fond of him, and now he even makes a name for himself in the court.
But why do you want to be questioned here today, instead of being taught in private?
While the officials were reading Zhang Han's manuscript, Zhu Zhanji asked again: "Guangbo, since you intend to break the church's rule over the European people, do you have any plans?" β
Zhang Han bowed and said, "On the way back from Europa this time, Xiao Chen has been thinking about how to go in the future. After thinking about it, there are two immature plans. β
"Tell me about it."
"The minister is also proficient in Latin, so he has the heart to translate the laws of my Ming Dynasty, so that the white people of Europa know that there are far more advanced laws than them in my Middle Earth. The minister now has no job, so he wants to go to Europa to give lectures. β
Zhu Zhanji was slightly stunned, he didn't expect that Zhang Han himself had already thought of this, and now he didn't need to bewitch himself, he took the initiative to have this mind.
He asked quietly, "What about the second plan?" β
Zhang Han said: "I have a Ming Dynasty that controls the press, and only a few yamen have the power to run newspapers, but Europa does not have this restriction. The minister intends to open a newspaper in Europa and open up the wisdom of the people. β
Zhu Zhanji couldn't wait to applaud Zhang Han, but at this time, he pretended to be flat and said: "The two roads are carried out at the same time, which means that you have carefully considered yourself." However, have you ever thought that if you act like this, but you have violated the taboo of the church, you are not afraid that the church will target you or even assassinate you? β
Zhang Han's young face showed a hint of determination. "Although tens of millions of people are gone!"
Seeing Zhang Han's resolute attitude, Zhu Zhanji knew that there was no need to fan the flames in this regard, the fire was too strong, and it would only be too much.
Zhang Han is willing to go to Europe to light the fire, so let him go to it, and the court will follow behind to pick up the gaps, which will be more effective.
As for whether Zhang Han can survive or not, it depends on his life.
Zhu Zhanji raised his voice and said: "Today's Zhang Han and Zhang Guangbo's affairs are only known to the heads of various ministries, and no propaganda is done. As for what Zhang Han did in Europe, the various ministries of our court did not interfere, but only provided necessary assistance at a critical juncture. β
Everyone should be. Only then did Zhu Zhanji turn the topic back and asked: "Just now you said that the barriers between my Ming classes are not clear, which is the biggest advantage over the solidification of the Europa class. So, I ask you, how do you want to solve the problem of Europa's class solidification, and how do you ensure that my Ming Dynasty has always had an absolute advantage over Europa in all aspects? β
Zhang Han paused for a moment, and didn't understand what Zhu Zhanji meant.
Zhu Zhanji saw that he was a little confused, and he knew that he was not so thoughtful, but only acted with enthusiasm, which was also one of the most distinctive characteristics of the white left class, and did not consider the overall situation.
Zhu Zhanji said: "I have a clear class in the Ming Dynasty, and Europa is also a clear class. Let's not talk about Europa for the time being, just take my Ming Dynasty as an example, the royal class and the noble class, these are the two stable classes. Subsequently, civil officials, military generals, and ordinary people were clearly distinguished. After that, it is the foreign class, the criminal household class, and the seven classes have been formed within my Ming Dynasty.
These seven classes constitute the overall social structure of my Ming Dynasty, except for the royal family, the other major classes are not fixed classes, even if it is the lowest class of happy households, there can also be a chance to rise to the noble, official class, this kind of circulation, is the main reason why my Ming has always been strong.
Now, you want to enlighten the Europeans culturally and let them learn from our Ming Dynasty, have you ever thought that if they become the same as the Ming Dynasty, how can I still maintain an advantage over them? β
Zhang Han said in surprise: "I have more than 20,000 people in Daming, and the total population of Europa is less than 20 million. My Ming occupies most of the world, they are just a corner, how can they become a threat to my Ming? β
Zhu Zhanji shook his head and said: "Although you are rich now, the knowledge you have learned is a knowledge system formed by my ancestors after thousands of years of accumulation. Do you think that what you have learned is yours? While you learn this knowledge, you also shoulder the responsibility of carrying on the past and forging ahead into the future. Do you now want to pass on this knowledge accumulated by our ancestors to the rest of the people, worthy of our ancestors? β
Hearing Zhu Zhanji say this, Zhang Han knelt down with a frightened plop. "The minister didn't dare to ,...... It's the minister's simple thinking. β
Zhu Zhanji said loudly: "Since I have allowed you to give lectures in Europa, I am not afraid that you will promote my oriental civilization, but you can't spread everything without reservation, but you must have a bottom line and know which aspects should be reserved." β
Having said that, the ministers present actually understood Zhu Zhanji's intentions, only Zhang Han is now in the bureau and has not yet understood.
Although Zhu Zhanji's words were so, he actually had no worries in his heart.
First of all, the Ming Dynasty has a unified political regime and a stable political structure. And it is impossible for Europe to have a large number of small countries, each in its own way, and to want cultural unity.
Secondly, the cultural essence of the Ming Dynasty is the imperial power, Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism culture that has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people for thousands of years.
Even if Europe learns to use law as a surface, it will not learn to use morality as a model. Not to mention that there is also the essence of benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and faith that has been precipitated for thousands of years.
If they just learn from each other, they are destined not to be the opponents of Da Ming, if they really want to learn from Da Ming, their barbarians will only be the end of Handan toddlers.
Zhu Zhanji told Zhang Han that there was only one purpose, that is, to let him follow the arrangement of the imperial court and take a path that was in line with the interests of the Ming Dynasty, instead of becoming the opposite of the Ming Dynasty.
Of course, this is very unlikely. Because if Zhang Han brings the imperial power and class theory to Europe, it is more likely that it will be like igniting a nuclear bomb in Europe and blowing Europe to pieces.
