Chapter 146: This Begins with the King, and Ends with This (Seeking Completeness)

Chapter 146 The king begins with this, and will end with this (ask for a full book)

Shang Ying created the world's earliest military rank system, and also opened the earliest class promotion channel in human history, and added the most favorable brick to the process of starting the great unification of Chinese civilization.

However, things must be opposed, there is yin and yang in things, and there are no absolutely good things in the world, nor are there absolutely bad things.

When Shang Ying painted such an important and colorful stroke for the unification of China, he also found a new excuse for the dark desires and humanity of human beings.

This excuse, along with civilization, continues in the blood of the descendants of Yan and Huang.

Although war is cruel, there is still 'righteousness' in the war before the Spring and Autumn Period.

In the "Zuo Biography", an incident in the battle of Chu and Jin was recorded.

"The Jin people or the Yiguang team can't enter, and the Chu people are afraid to get rid of it, and they don't enter, and the horses are returned, and they are worried about pulling out and balancing, and they are out. Gu said: I am not as good as the number of big countries. ”

It means that when the Chu State wanted to win the Central Plains, the first time in the Battle of Chengpu Jin defeated the Chu Jun, which established the second hegemony of the Spring and Autumn Period of the Jin Wengong, and the second time in the Battle of Yi, the prince of Chu Zhuang led a large army to face the Jin general Xun Linfu, and defeated the Jin State and established his hegemony.

The armies of the two sides fought in the battle of Yi, and finally fled with a crushing defeat of the Jin army, and the chariot of the Jin State fell into a quagmire in the process of escaping, and the pursuing Chu Jun taught them how to remove the cross wheel in front of the chariot and pull the cart out.

The soldiers of the Jin Kingdom were ashamed and difficult to be dead ducks, and they ridiculed the people of Chu with their mouths: "We are not like a "big country" like you, who has fought few battles, and our ability to escape is not as good as yours!" ”

Although this story seems like a funny joke, it does exist in the Chinese etiquette of civilization thousands of years ago, and it has very important educational significance.

That is, on the battlefield, the enemy and us are mortal enemies, and they can throw their heads and shed blood for the country, for culture, and even for honor, but from the moment the war ends, everyone is the same person, even if the culture, language, and even position are different, but they still will not kill for no reason.

Cannibalism of the same kind, if the teacher is nameless, it is no different from a beast.

This is the brilliance of human nature, obeying the rules, abiding by morality, and respecting civilization more.

There is a movie called "Merry Christmas" about Britain, France and Germany in World War I on the battlefield full of corpses, the film relies on the power of religion to suppress barbarism, but more than 2,000 years ago, China can already rely on civilized etiquette to suppress barbarism.

But such a civilization eventually gradually disappeared into the long river of history, especially on the battlefield, and Shang Ying was the operator of the destruction that completely tore it apart.

The military merit system of Shang Ying's transformation of the law completely materialized life.

From generals to soldiers, whoever kills more people will be rewarded more, and the officials will do a lot of money, and the calculation standard for killing is based on the head or the severed ears, so whether it is to fight with them, or to surrender, or even to the common people, they should kill as many as possible.

War no longer has the so-called morality, rules, and wireless amplification of the dark side of human nature, as long as there are desires and goals, human nature will become fragile.

When a species begins to swing its butcher's knife at its kind, then its demise is inevitable because it is pathological, like Natsu, like Tsarist Russia, like slavery.

Jun starts with this, and will end with this, Shang Ying changed the law in order to strengthen Qin, and after all, Qin will also perish here.

Shang Ying's exchange of human heads for military merits not only destroyed human nature, but also destroyed the character of generosity and benevolence in the Chinese etiquette culture, as well as the foundation of putting death first.

In Chinese culture, even if the dead are extremely evil, when the person dies, the sins on the body should also dissipate, perhaps nailed to the pillar of shame as a model, but try not to whip the corpse and retaliate against the corpse.

Even if Wu Zixu took revenge on King Chuping for digging up the grave and whipping the corpse, such a justified move was used as a negative teaching material to educate future generations.

Therefore, this way of exchanging heads for military merits is actually a measure that is somewhat anti-human and even inciting the dark side of human nature.

But it is often the initiatives that exploit the dark side of human nature that have the most obvious effect.

Therefore, under such a trend of sexual evil, the wind direction of civilization has naturally become the theory of sexual evil.

Therefore, when Yingzheng ruled to destroy the Six Kingdoms, the effect of strengthening Qin was the most significant, so the Qin army was not only stronger than the Central Plains countries, but also stronger than the barbarian Rongdi!

The winter in Liaodong was supposed to be pure white and holy decorated with snowflakes, but because of the intrusion into the smear of Qiang Qin, this piece of heaven and earth has become a slaughterhouse of blood and black.

Gongsun Ge and Gao Yanli took the troops, and walked a few hundred meters away from the battlefield of Donghu and the Qin army in the wind and snow, and then stopped, the first is the Qin army's scouts have already issued a warning arrow.

In addition, most of the Yan army led by Gongsun Ge were reluctant to go further, or did not dare, because the wind and snow in the air brought not only coldness, but also suffocating blood.

The two-inch-thick snow was completely evaporated by the sea of blood, and the sea of blood, which had not yet dissipated its heat, looked like boiling water from a distance, boiling, and the corpses of people and horses were no longer distinguishable, all of them were smashed into random pieces by the powerful Qin Yu and spread on top of the sea of blood.

Not only Gongsun Ge, but even the Yan army that went out of the city with him had never seen such a cruel scene, and some cavalrymen with poor psychological quality were panicked and overturned from their horses.

Gongsun Ge endured the overturning of the river and the sea in his stomach, and ordered the 50,000 cavalry behind him to stop moving forward and camp on the spot.

Gao gradually left the already sickly white face, and became more and more pale, and Uncle Le and the other knights had already dismounted and began to vomit.

Gongsun Ge hammered his chest hatefully, and turned his head to look at Gao Yanli with the desire to vomit, "Why don't you go and report Mr. Gao first?" ”

Gao Yanli glanced at the somewhat unbearable knights behind him, nodded, and stretched out his hand, "Then borrow the general's tiger talisman to use." ”

Gongsun Ge frowned, a little hesitant.

"When the interruption continues, but suffer from the chaos, the general should not be indecisive at this time, don't go to the spring Shenjun's footsteps." Gao Yanli said with a faint smile.

Gongsun Ge grinned, "What Mr. Gao said is right, after all, Mr. Gao can hide more than 2,000 knights in Liaoyang City, and Liaoyang City is indeed full of holes, and it is difficult to support it alone." ”

After saying that, Gongsun Ge Jiang Yanguo Tiger Talisman and Xuanniao Order, as well as a Gongsun family's family head order, and a wooden box containing Su Lian's head were handed over to Gao Yanli, and he arched his hand and said, "There is Mr. Lao Gao." ”

Gao gradually left the result, and then shook his head and whipped Uncle Le, "Let's go, shame." ”

Uncle Le vomited so much that his bile was about to come out, and he weakly climbed on the horse, followed Gao gradually away from the two, and walked towards the sea of blood.

The drama with the sword box on his back did not change his face, as if he had seen a lot of things, and after patrolling and taking care of the knights, he came to Gongsun Ge's side, "Your army will definitely be defeated against the Qin army." ”

"These Qin troops are not people, they are all a group of beasts!" Gongsun Ge scolded, his voice didn't know whether it was anger or fear, "They are actually cutting off people's heads!"

"The enemy's head is the title of money and grain for the Qin army, so there is no difference between it and the pig, dog, sheep, and cow head in the eyes of the butcher." Ji Kang shrugged his shoulders fearlessly.

"Even barbarians! That's a human head, too! Dead are dead, why torture corpses? It's a beast's doing! Gongsun Ge said indignantly.

"Didn't you cut off Su Lian's head too?" Ji looked at Gongsun Ge suspiciously.

"Su Lian is a rebel and a thief, it is in accordance with etiquette and righteousness for me to take my head! But these butchers simply take it as pleasure, you see, they also put their heads on the ground? It's so neatly arranged! What's to be done? Planting melons?! Gongsun Ge saw that some Qin soldiers in the distance had cleaned up the corpses of the battlefield, but they put their heads neatly on the ground, and suddenly trembled even more.

"Shang Ying called this 'tyrannical head', when cleaning the battlefield, the enemy's head was listed on the battlefield, identified and verified by the officer, and then recorded the merits for the soldiers, of course, it also has the intention of sharpening the quality of the sergeant and deterring the enemy, you look at your army, aren't you frightened?" Ji Kang showed a mocking smile.

Gongsun Ge was speechless, turned his head to look at the mentally exhausted soldiers behind him, and sighed deeply, "Qin Zhiqiang, the world can't compete with it, the sorrow of the six countries, and the suffering of the people." ”

After sighing, he looked at the drama curiously: "You don't seem to be surprised by this kind of purgatory scene. ”

"What's this, when Wang Jian conquered Jingcheng ten years ago, he was bleeding and drifting, and my father took me to hide in a pool of corpses in a pool of blood for half a year before he was able to escape." The drama pouted, as if telling someone else's story.

Gongsun Ge gasped, Jing Cheng had naturally heard that it was a real tough battle, Wang Jian and Li Mu had been in a stalemate for a year on the main battlefield, and I heard that the tragedy at that time was no weaker than the difficulty of slaughtering the city.

With Gongsun Ge's only imagination, it is impossible to imagine how the father and son of the drama survived in that kind of environment that may be more difficult than Yizi.

But when Gongsun Ge looked at the childish and even innocent little face of Ji Kang again, he shuddered inexplicably.

This may be a monster that survived by eating human flesh and drinking human blood!

Gongsun Ge subconsciously moved his body to the side.

"I'm not a monster who makes killing people a hobby." Ji Kang chuckled and glanced at him, "And I don't like to kill people either, but Yan Wangxi, I will kill, if you are willing to help, I can owe you a favor." ”

Gongsun Ge's eyes lit up.

"As long as it doesn't violate morality, no matter who you want to kill, even if it's King Qin, I'll go." Ji Kang grinned.

"Yan Wangxi can't die yet." Gongsun Ge hesitated for a moment and shook his head.

"Don't worry, he won't live to be sent by you to the King of Qin to ask for merit, even if I don't kill him, he will kill him." Ji raised his chin with a smile.

Gongsun Ge was startled, and looked at Gao Yuanli, who had been hidden in the sea of blood.
