Chapter 715: Strong Song Plan

"The two western expeditions did not fight to the end because the Mongolian Great Khan hung up at such a good time, and it deserves to be the two major religions in the world, and the luck is really not bad." Ye Chuchu listened to Sun Hui's story and understood, "So you want the Mongols to go west again?" ”

"Even if it's to speed up the course of history." Sun Hui nodded.

"What are you going to do with the Song Dynasty?" Wang Linlin asked, "You just told Kublai Khan that the enemy of the Song Dynasty is actually yourself. ”

"Yes, Brother Sun, I think Confucianism seems to have gone too far in the Song Dynasty, and it has penetrated deep into the bone marrow, and it is really difficult to change." Xiao Tiantian said.

"Yes, in fact, Confucianism in the Song Dynasty is equivalent to a second castration, the first time it was castrated in the Han Dynasty, my method is to use ten years to take back the castrated part." Sun Hui smiled and said, hearing that the four girls couldn't help but laugh.

"Seriously." Ye Chuchu pinched Sun Hui, "Don't tease us all day." ”

"The ancestor of Confucianism, Confucius, and the ancestor Zhou Gong both advocated military education, but the later filial sons and grandsons were castrated in the name of maintaining the status of the ruler for the purpose of currying favor with the ruler and obtaining their own interests." Sun Hui grinned and gave the answer, "We just need to engage in retro style and restore this piece again." ”

Sun Hui told the girls that in fact, in the Confucian "Six Arts of Gentlemen": archery, royalty, etiquette, and music are closely related to war, and regardless of archery and imperial chariots are compulsory courses for nobles to fight in the army in the Spring and Autumn Period, even if it is cultural etiquette, it also has war music and war, and martial arts and etiquette education are among them.

As the sage of Confucianism, Zhou Gong has effectively established the Confucian concept of social discipline, that is, the idea of governing the country with etiquette and virtue and virtue, so there is a reason why Confucianism obeys Zhou Gong. The biggest war during the reign of the Duke of Zhou was to quell the "Three Eunuchs Rebellion": at that time, Uncle Guan and Uncle Cai colluded with Wu Geng, the son of the king of Shang, and united the Dongyi tribe to rebel against the Zhou Dynasty. Threatening the rule of the Zhou Dynasty, at this time King Wu of Zhou has died, King Cheng is young, and the Duke of Zhou is on the order of King Cheng to raise troops to the east, (the ancient book "Shangshu" of the "Great Message" has a record of this history). Three years later, Duke Zhou successfully quelled the rebellion of the three eunuchs, beheaded Uncle Guan, killed Wu Geng, and exiled Uncle Cai. Ambush the remnants of Yin, seal Uncle Kang in Wei, seal Weizi in Song, and let him pursue Yin's sacrifice. After Zhou Gong took charge of Cai, he took advantage of the victory to advance eastward, destroyed more than 50 countries such as Xiang, and drove Fei Lian to the sea to kill him. The pacification of Huaiyi and other areas in the east was completed in two years. The princes were all Shun Zhou Dynasty.

Compared with the quick victory in the battle of Muye, it was extremely hard to pacify the chaos of the three eunuchs, because King Wu of Zhou was only facing slaves who were temporarily armed after the southern expedition of the merchant army, while Zhou Gong was facing a strong army of Shang troops who had already returned to help, and it was not easy for Zhou Gong to have this achievement.

As the true founder of Confucianism, Xuansheng Confucius was very warlike, and the six arts of Confucianism were basically established in his school system. In history, Confucius's father, Uncle Liang Su, was an extremely good warrior and could be a stone gate. As his son, Confucius, the sage of Xuansheng, was naturally also very warlike. Confucius also once said: "Those who have literary affairs must have military preparations, and those who have military affairs must have literary preparations." Zigong, a student of Confucius, also said: "The way of civil and military affairs is not falling to the ground, but in people." The sage knows the big one, and the unsage knows the small one, and there is no way of literature and martial arts. "There are not many records of wars related to Confucius himself in history, and the recovery of the city of Hewen relied on soldiers who surrendered without a fight. The only real battle was the pacification of the Gongshan Fei Rebellion. There is a record in "The Left Biography of the Spring and Autumn Period": "Zhong You is the slaughter of the Ji family, and he will be the third capital, so the uncle and grandson will be the emperor." The Ji family will pay for it, Gongshan is not ruthless, and his uncle and grandson are handsome and expensive to attack Lu. Gong and the third son entered the palace of the Ji family and ascended to the platform of the martial son. Attack it, Falk. into and on the male side. Zhong Ni ordered Shen Ju Xu, Le Qi Xia, cut it, and Fei people to the north. The people chased after him and defeated the contempt. The two sons rushed to Qi and paid for it. ”

After Confucius's disciple Ran Qiu defeated the Qi people, Ji Kangzi asked him where he learned military science? Ran Qiu's answer was that he was a professor of Confucius, and Ran Qiu valued art rather than courtesy, so for Confucius, his scholarship focused on practicality, and at that time, the study of military affairs was an important part of Confucian children. In the Han Dynasty, Dong Zhongshu, who was in the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, bewitched Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty with his "extraordinary" Confucian thoughts. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, for his own selfishness, promoted Confucianism, which had been emasculated for the first time, throughout the country. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was not stupid, but the falsified Confucianism was in the interests of the king's rule, and with the emergence of great unification and the centralization of power in a central society, the Confucian martial arts began to fade away. Subsequently, with the death of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the national strength of the Western Han Dynasty also fell from its peak, and it continued to survive until its demise. After the Xinmang Rebellion, the Han dynasty declined, the number of Taixue people increased sharply, and Confucianism became the mainstream of political Qingliu, and in the Eastern Han Dynasty, Liu Xiu was educated in Taixue and governed the country based on Confucianism, as a result, Confucianism flourished in the Eastern Han Dynasty, but martial arts was not completely abandoned. It was only in the Song Dynasty that Zhao Guangyi, Taizong of the Song Dynasty, for the purpose of consolidating his power, vigorously engaged in "advocating literature and suppressing martial arts", and after the persistence and development of several literati emperors, martial arts finally disappeared from Confucianism. As a great Confucian in the Song Dynasty, Fan Zhongyan was able to make certain achievements in the war against Western Xia, which can be said to be very difficult.

"Understood." Ye Chuchu raised his eyebrows, "Master Fan can be erected as a model and influence the entire Song Dynasty from top to bottom." I don't think it's going to be difficult, but how do you say it will take ten years......"

"This is only one aspect, and the other is to restore the enterprising spirit of the Song people in the early Han and Tang dynasties, as well as to change the traditional 'agricultural standard' thinking, and put industry and commerce in the same important position as agriculture." Sun Hui said, "All of this takes time, and letting the Mongols go west again is also to give the Song Dynasty time to fight for peaceful development." ”

"Brother Sun, when you conquer Vietnam, you actually want to develop maritime trade." Xiao Tiantian also understood Sun Hui's plan, "Let's have a Song Dynasty version of the Age of Discovery." ”

"Brother Sun still wants to build a navy and fight to Europe." Du Lili laughed.

"Lili, your brain hole is a bit big, but you can also consider it." Sun Hui said with a smile, as a military fan, he actually has a deep naval complex, and Du Lili's words are actually right.

"Then the world is really completely different." Ye Chuchu looked at Sun Hui, and his eyes flashed with a strange bright color, "I'm really looking forward to it......"
