Hearing the other party talk to himself like an old friend, Kublai Khan's heart couldn't help but be moved.

As the emperor of the Great Yuan Empire and the supreme Great Khan of all Mongolia, he is actually very lonely. I remember that after the defeat of the Song Dynasty, when he was most depressed, the persuasion of his old friends and old subordinates Boyan made him feel similar to today.

"Thank you." Kublai Khan calmly faced Sun Hui, "But why do you want to help me?" Am I not the greatest enemy of the Song Kingdom? ”

"The Great Khan was not the greatest enemy of the Song State." Sun Hui said, "The biggest enemy of the Song Kingdom is actually himself. ”

"What did you say?" Kublai Khan was taken aback when he heard this.

"The greatest enemy of the Song State, or the Han people, is himself." Sun Hui smiled and said again.

Kublai Khan was stunned for a moment.

Sun Hui knew that although Kublai Khan was a Mongol, he was greatly influenced by Confucianism and admired the concept of Confucian governance, but at this time he did not recognize the side effects of Confucianism, and the current Song Dynasty was the direct victim of those side effects.

China's Confucian culture, with its broad and profound ideological connotation, has profoundly influenced the ideological concepts of the Chinese, and its immortal value and rich human charm are still shining on the road of human civilization development until later generations. But the side effects should not be underestimated.

After Confucianism entered the ideological core of the Central Plains nation, one of the biggest side effects was the elimination of the combative character and martial spirit of the Central Plains nation.

The Central Plains nation used to be a very brave and aggressive nation, and it is precisely because of this martial spirit that the ancestors of the Central Plains nation laid a broad territory and won a huge space for the development of their own survival. But since the Confucian culture gained the right to spiritual domination, the martial spirit of the Han nation was suppressed with all its might, at this time people no longer admired those warriors with superior force, nor did they respect those heroes who were powerful in the world, they liked poetry and songs, thinking that these can improve their spiritual cultivation, can be closer to nature, and can achieve the unity of heaven and man.

It is precisely because Confucian culture has eliminated the martial spirit of the Han nation, and there are very few "Confucian generals" similar to Zhou Yu and Zhuge Liang among Confucianism, coupled with the basic idea of Confucianism to convince people with virtue and complain with virtue. It does not like to expand its territory, and for a long time, the territorial territory of the Central Plains ethnic groups has not been developed. Even with advanced science and technology, and no other forces can stop it, there is no room for expanding the living space of the Central Plains nation.

And since the Song Dynasty, the Confucian scholars were so afraid and disgusted with war. Whenever war broke out, it was also a time when Confucian culture was weakened, because most of the Confucian scholars were "powerless" bombastic people, so they liked to promote peaceful coexistence, and then spread their own Confucian ideas through economic exchanges, and then assimilate the enemy. Even if they really fight, they also like the kind of remote-controlled tactics of "strategizing in the middle of the battle and winning a decisive victory thousands of miles away" and "talking and laughing, and the strong captives will be wiped out." The front line is generally reluctant to go.

And the Confucian school hates competition, they think that "it doesn't matter if he is three feet", even if it is a national territory, they also think that it is just such a little territory, so what about letting a little, everyone is peaceful, don't let it be difficult to get along in the future, and give face. They do not like to work hard for the country's enterprising, and their enterprising is generally only for the sake of obtaining higher positions and more rights for themselves. They are unwilling to blaze new trails, believing that these are tricks and tricks, thus seriously suppressing the enterprising and pioneering spirit of the Central Plains nation.

Confucianism also simplified the direction of literati's study and the content of learning, so that the intellectual class only became a professional civil service base. The Confucian premise is that the intellectual class has only one mission in life, and there is only one purpose in studying, that is, to be an official. From the beginning of enlightenment, there can only be one kind of content of study, that is, the study of being an official, that is, the study of "governing the world". Because of this setting, Confucianism completely reformed the content of learning. Confucius's "Six Arts" in archery, driving and other survival skills, because they have nothing to do with being an official, are all deleted; engineering, water, medicine, agriculture, etc., all of them are not admitted to the school; Scholars can only take the Four Books and the Five Classics as their guideline, and there is nothing else to do with this. In the Song Dynasty, Confucianism made a social explanation in popular form: the book has its own golden house, and the book has its own Yan Ruyu, as long as you become an official, you have all the enjoyment and privileges, and you don't need survival skills at all. Therefore, all the "last branch of study" is out of character, and all of them cannot be learned. Under these social policies, China has a peculiar class that is unique in the world, called "scholars". The image of this so-called "reader" in the minds of the public is: the four bodies are not diligent, and the grains are not distinguished; Ignore what is going on outside the window, and only read your own books; Clothes come to stretch out their hands, and food comes to open their mouths; Yellow rolls and green lights, Hao's head is poor; As well as the powerless, unkempt, gentlemanly and so on. As a result, the "reader" has a social name - nerd. For the phenomenon of nerds, "readers" not only do not feel sorry at all, but they flaunt this kind of idiot style as a thing of ability, which is really speechless.
