□ [essence] was not possible in ancient circumstances. Without the steppes, the Mongols would not have been able to run far from the Mongolian plateau to Central Asia. The key is logistics. When the battle line is stretched too long, the gains will outweigh the losses. Maintaining a line of supply costs much more than fighting a war. Qin fought the Xiongnu, and only 1% of the grain could be transported to the front. In the Han Dynasty, Li Guangli conquered Dawan, and only one-tenth of the living were alive, and most of them starved to death. The United States still has this problem, let alone in the beginning, unless YY goes to the 25th century. syan

□ [essence] If in the pen of the Red Tiger, modern technology has appeared. China is 100 times richer than the rest of the world, just as the West and the poorest countries in Africa are facing each other today. Is it still necessary for China to conquer other countries with troops? The money is much greater than the benefits. Whatever you can get with soldiers can be obtained through trade. I'm putting aside morality and just talking about reality. Ethically speaking, it should not be. I really don't understand the logic of conquering the world. syan

□ Chihu boss clearly said that he cares about Wuhu Chaohua, which shows that his protagonist is not as omniscient and omnipotent as you said. His protagonist even made the creation of a monotheistic editor.,It can be seen that the burden is too heavy.。 Killing thousands of Xianbei people has already been killed, and probably something that is too empty will not happen. In the final analysis, the Red Tiger boss still thinks about realism to some extent, and he can't go to the sky to kill the god and go to the sea to kill the dragon. What I like is the constraints he puts on his protagonist, and the choices he makes under the constraints. This is probably a bit different from the requirement that the protagonist is omniscient and omniscient. syan

Brother □ Yu said, "We once set our feet on the Eurasian continent....'. I am the one who does not count the affairs of Genghis Khan as the affairs of the Chinese. This has nothing to do with modern Mongolians. If the history of conquest of everyone who has fought China is counted on the heads of the Chinese, this is too much. A little bit of a small opinion. syan

□ [essence] The Mongols entered the Central Plains through the gap in the collapsed Great Wall, and it seems that they did not go from Qinhuangdao. Liao, Jin, and Qing seem to have all come in from western Liao. This seems to be one of the reasons why Red Tiger is in Xi'an's house. syan

□ [Essence] Boss Red Tiger has a little bit of a similar idea to me. That is, we attach great importance to avoiding the chaos of the five nonsense. We believe that if the Han or other Han regimes had lasted for another 300 years without great chaos, many things would not have happened in China at all. The Roman Empire collapsed, and Europe struggled for at least 600 years before it began to recover. But China is also not doing well in this regard. In addition to the 400 years of turmoil from the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty to the Tang Dynasty, the unification of the Tang Dynasty was only more than 100 years old, and the turmoil began again. It wasn't until 960 that the Song appeared. In 770 years, it was unified and peaceful, but it was only 150 years. That is, 600 years were wasted.

If you waste half less, the situation will be very different. syan

□ [Essence] Many readers may not be familiar with Chinese history. Those who served as soldiers in the Han Dynasty were not high-class people. For example, in 102 B.C., the "Seven Branches" were issued, and the guilty were outlaws, sons-in-law, and Jia people, so they had city registration, and their parents and parents had city registration. Li Guangli soldiers, excluding those who carried grain privately, 70,000 soldiers, 100,000 cattle, 30,000 horses, and tens of thousands of donkeys and camels. Got dozens of good horses from Dawan, and a year later entered Yumen Pass with more than 10,000 people and more than 1,000 horses. Li Guangli was named Haixi Hou. syan

□ [essence] is different from fighting outside the country, and the Hu people and peasants rebelled, and the chaos in China is basically destroying the economy. Wherever you go, grab it and wrap the young and middle-aged into the rebel ranks. The more you roll, the bigger it gets. This is why Brother Chihu has a description of Zhang Chun's rebellion against the destruction of Liaoxi. In my humble opinion, this is also the reason why Brother Chihu attaches so much importance to grassroots organizations. From the perspective of the Qing Dynasty, it should be fortunate that the main force of the Taiping Army went down the river and stayed in the prosperous place south of the Yangtze River. Otherwise, starting from the northwest, the Qing army will pursue all the way, and even if the Taiping army is annihilated in the end, there will probably not be much good place left. A large part of what Zeng Guofan did was not to let the rebellion roll, and later the Qing army eliminated the Twist Army, which also encouraged local self-protection and fortified the wilderness. syan

□ [essence] Brother G said, "It seems that Brother Red Tiger has a soft spot for heavy horsemen, but the Gothic kingdom was destroyed by the Huns..." The Xiongnu entered Europe in the fifth century and disappeared a few decades later. Now the European heavy armor we see in the movies only appeared in the 13th and 14th centuries. Europe still used chain mail at the beginning, and later it was related to the development of the war, and the armor became thicker and thicker, and even had to be protected against early bullets. At the same time, the horses are getting taller and taller. The largest horse weighed more than a ton. Brother Chihu specifically mentioned Malaysia in Canada, and said that he generally can't afford it. It seems that at most a few number one generals will be given. As I said, there are no such horses in the East, and it is impossible to develop European-style heavy cavalry. syan

□ [essence] What is wrong with Confucianism? Of course, a learned Confucian is good. Like the knowledge of the three masters at the end of the Ming Dynasty, I admire it. Compared with the monarchs of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, the opposing Zeng Hu and others have a much higher ability to govern the country and the family. But Confucianism did not accomplish its goal, and the simplest indicator was to avoid famine and avoid starvation. Under Confucian rule, there were many more famines than in Europe. In the same way, you can blame Christianity for failing to prevent the plague, and as a result, 1/3 to 1/2 of the people in Europe died. The plague was one of the things that shook the position of Christianity and the source of the image of hell in Europe, and perhaps it also caused the great persecution of witches. I agree with that. syan

□ early European warrior knights were also a bit of a murderer, arson, and looting churches. Between 989-1054 two campaigns took place in Europe. The result is two documents of Christianity. One is called the establishment of the principle of attacking churches and unarmed civilians breaking the law. It also establishes the principle that Christians do not fight Christians. Of course, one of the consequences was the Crusader East government, which led the spearhead of murder and anger to the heads of foreign races. But for ordinary Europeans, this is a good thing. At least the murder and arson have been reduced. In the Rwandan massacre, many people took refuge in churches, because theoretically churches and within 30 steps were protected areas, and of course the killers still chased them in. syan

□ [essence] So Confucianism at least did not do enough in terms of how to alleviate the suffering of the people. Even if it is hypocritical, it should be hypocritical. As for some people say, "Without Wuhu civil strife, there would be no prosperity of the Tang Dynasty, and only after suffering can there be erection." This is a very unique view. I wonder if I am willing to bear the pain and let the future generations have a good life? However, there still seem to be many people who see China's historical suffering as an inevitability, a price to pay. Quite weird. Not even a review? syan

□ the four "Tongs" mentioned here are all books in the nature of a compilation of thematic literature. Ma Duanlin's "General Examination of Literature" is based on Du You's "General Dictionary" and is more detailed. Its contents include the field endowment examination, the numismatic examination, the household registration examination, the vocational service examination, the levy examination, the municipal examination, the Tugong examination, the national examination, the election examination, the school examination, the vocational official examination, the military examination, the criminal examination and other 24 aspects. In the final analysis, true Confucianism cannot but face the social reality and consider the art of helping the people through the world. It's not just just talking. Those who keep accusing others of not understanding Chinese culture may wish to talk about something specific about the art of helping the people through the world. Comparing how Western is not good, while Confucianism has already had an answer, so it is interesting to discuss. And insisting that the Red Tiger denies Chinese culture, I don't know what is the basis? Hasn't Guan Ning always been by Liu Bei's side? syan

□As far as I know, the Heavenly Father Sect in the Red Tiger Book is not found in China. But the rest is not necessarily a Western patent. Ming died in the Qing Dynasty, and one of Gu Yanwu's introspections was to live in the county. Some of the Red Tiger's statements are not necessarily more "rebellious" than those of the three masters in the late Ming Dynasty. It's a pity that after the Qing Dynasty system stabilized, the three major families in the late Ming Dynasty were also taken from what they needed, and the most "revolutionary" part could not be used. syan

□ Zeng Guofan wrote in a letter to his younger brother Guoquan: "The way of learning, those who can read the history of the scriptures are low-rooted, such as the two "Tong", Du's "Tongdian", Ma's "Tongkao" and the two "Yanyi" of Ma's "Tongkao", and the two "Tong" of this dynasty, Xu Qianxue's "Reading Rites and General Examinations", and Qin Huitian's "Five Rites General Examination" all extract the essence of the history of the "Six Classics", which is the key to the inner and outer kings. If you can be familiar with these six books, or one or two of them, you will have the beginning and the end of learning. Zeng Guofan: "To Brother Yuan" May 30, 8th year of Xianfeng, "The Complete Works of Zeng Guofan: Family Letter" syan

□ Three Kingdoms period, Confucianism did despise commerce. The contempt for commerce began in the Han Dynasty, and commerce was actually quite developed before. In my personal opinion, if you can live in the county, business will be prosperous. If a high degree of monarchical centralization is insisted upon, commerce will be suppressed. Many years ago, Zhu Kezhen mentioned this in an article. During the Warring States period and the Han Dynasty, China's Wenjing commerce was quite developed and the ideas were relatively active, but because the population caused the land annexation, the merchants were wrongly blamed. Suppression of commerce. The book of the Emperor Shi of the Han Dynasty mentioned that after the monopoly of salt and iron, the salt and bitter iron were brittle and expensive, and the merchants were few and expensive after the ship was calculated. Wu angered Emperor Wu and lost his position. But facts are facts. syan

□ do you like Confucianism here who are more proficient in Neo-Confucianism Xiong Shili, Tang Junyi, Mou Zongsan, Tu Weiming, and Liu Shuxian, talk about their views and practices, and educate everyone. It's much better than talking about how Chinese civilization is. I will definitely study with an open mind. I have only read some articles by Tang Junyi and Mou Zongsan. These people are indeed scholars, and their articles are broad and profound, and it is good to have someone to guide them. syan

□ [essence] By the way, if you have friends here who oppose the "compromise" of Neo-Confucianism to Western thought, or adhere to the views of Han Confucianism, Song Confucianism, Ming Confucianism, or others, please also elaborate your own views so that everyone can benefit. Truth is concrete, and abstract arguments don't seem to make much sense. In particular, please describe a little more about the people of the world. I like Hance because I talk about the specificity of problems, or public security, or salt and iron, or Qin's gains and losses. syan

□ famine and starvation. There were famines in Europe after the 10th century, but the number of people dying of starvation on a large scale was far less than in China. For example, in the Thirty Years' War, the Czech population decreased by 3/4, but it was probably not much from 60 million to 16 million between the Eastern Han Dynasty and the Jin Dynasty. Europe was attacked from three sides from the 3rd century to the 16th century, with Nordic and German tribes in the north, Muslims in the south, and several nomadic invasions in the east. The pressure is by no means less than in China. Many tribes settled in Europe and merged. Modern Europeans are nothing more than the consequences of these events. But as far as I know, Europe did not die so many people because of war or religious persecution or famine, if the consequences of the plague are not counted. That's clear enough. syan

□ what I'm talking about is not at all about freedom, democracy, and human rights. I don't care about any lofty theories, I just look at what has been done in history and how to avoid the death of ordinary people. Once a person is born, he has the right not to die a tragic death. Like the Northern and Southern Dynasties killing people like killing cattle and sheep, the emperor killed people with his own hands for fun, and he was like half crazy, I really can't say good. I know only one in European history, the Roman Emperor Caligula. Perhaps there was also a Hungarian countess who killed hundreds of girls for immortality, bathed in blood, and was finally executed. But the level of darkness is still not as good as that of the Northern and Southern Dynasties. If I'm lonely and unheard

Please advise. If you haven't seen this history, it's best to go and see it. Look at how cheap human life is. syan

□ China has not had feudalism since the Qin Dynasty. Otherwise, the great Confucian Gu Yanwu mentioned what to live in the county and county, and what to discuss in the Western Han Dynasty. Brother Chihu and I both advocated a certain degree of feudalism. Please don't misuse the word feudal. If ancient China could have a certain amount of feudalism, the situation would not be so bad. syan

□ resources are limited, and there should be chaos? Just damn it. If you die to a quarter and have more children, why can't you marry later, why can't you be like a man in the Buddhist countries of Southeast Asia who wants to become a monk for a period of time in his life, and why can't he adopt other methods to reduce births? These practical issues are important matters facing a country and a nation. I certainly feel European history
