Chapter 330: Dahai's Ambition
Duoduo's abnormal behavior made Sun Baiyi puzzled.
Originally, the yellow flag and the white flag of Manchuria were like horns. After the white flag stopped advancing, the red flag became a lone army.
This is simply a fighter sent to the door!
Or, this is a trap that deliberately lures coalition forces!
Duoduo has not made a splash in Manchukuo for ten years, which shows that Duoduo must have something outstanding in the use of soldiers.
Out of awe of the future Prince Yu, Sun Yi cautiously sent out various expeditions.
The news of the successive returns of various roads shows that the rest of the Manchukuo forces have been led by Abahai to the south, and there are only two Manchurian armies that have advanced westward.
In other words, there could be no ambush near the yellow and white flags.
Calculations and deductions proved that the layout of the Manchurian troops was becoming more and more favorable to the coalition forces.
Sun Yi was even more puzzled.
According to Qing history, Chongzhen's 100,000 troops in the fifth year of Emperor Taiji expelled Chahar Lindan to Qinghai; As it turns out, this part of history is completely fake.
According to Qing history, Duoduo broke out in an instant after the Qing army entered the customs, and swept the Central Plains with the power of the wilderness; Could it be that this part of history is also fake?
No way!
The military operations of the Qing army after entering the customs are corroborated by various texts from different sources.
In order to have an in-depth understanding of Duoduo, Sun Yi specially visited Dahai in Manchukuo.
Ever since Sun Yi announced that Abahai had committed a crime against humanity, Dahai had been depressed and locked himself in the scripture pavilion of Mei Dai Zhao every day.
Sun stepped up to the dimly lit scripture pavilion, and Dahai was reading several books at the same time.
"Doctor, have you eaten?"
"Oh, Tabu, what's wrong with me?"
"It's nothing, just to see you."
Sun Yi sloppily and sat beside Dahai: "What kind of Buddhism is the doctor studying?" ”
Dahai replied, "It's not the Dharma, it's the Paspa." ”
Manchurian Khan Abba Hai Ming Dahai created a new Manchu script. Dahai absorbed the coalition pinyin plan, and already had a draft in his heart. In the past few days, Dahai has come into contact with the Mongolian Bas-pa script and has new ideas.
The traditional Mongolian character is a Vultures script borrowed by Genghis Khan. Its written origins can be traced back to the Uighur alphabet, the Syriac alphabet, and the Sogdian alphabet.
During the period of Kublai Khan in the Mongol Yuan Dynasty, the Phags-pa script was formulated by the national teacher Phags-pa according to the Tibetan script at that time, with a total of 41 square letters, 36 initials, seven finals, and no tones, to replace the traditional Mongolian script with inaccurate phonetic pronunciation.
The Phags-pa script can be used to determine the pronunciation of Mongolian, Chinese, Tibetan, Sanskrit, and Vultures, and was the official script of the Yuan Dynasty, and was once mainly used as a phonetic symbol for Chinese characters.
After the Yuan Dynasty was overthrown by the Ming Dynasty, the character Ba Si Pa was discarded, but it was still used in the Northern Yuan Dynasty for a period of time. By the end of the Ming Dynasty, the Mongols of the Mongolian plateau had switched to using the traditional Mongolian script.
The allied phonetic scheme is fully compatible with the traditional Mongolian script, and there is no obstacle in spelling Mongolian and Uyghur languages; After kneading into the spelling rules of the later pinyin and Latin languages, and adding the Pingqian marking, there is no problem with the simple spelling of Shaanxi and Shanxi dialects.
However, the pinyin of the coalition forces is still far from accurately marking the pronunciation of Chinese. For example, the official dialect of the Ming Dynasty has four tones of "Ping, Shang, Go, and In", and each sound is divided into Yin and Yang, with a total of eight tones of "Yin Ping, Yang Ping, Yin Shang, Yang Shang, Yin Go, Yang Go, Yin In, Yang In, Yang In". When several tones are read in a row, a "pitch shift" also occurs.
If Tibetan, Sanskrit, and Manchu are annotated in the pinyin of the coalition forces, it is even more difficult.
Sun Yi's brain swelled when he saw the complex symbols on the paper recorded by Dahai.
"Tabu Bag", Dahai said: "Chinese characters are broad and profound, but Chinese characters are really difficult to learn, so there are not many literate people since ancient times. Genghis Khan's Mongolian script, Kublai Khan's Ba Si Pa script, and the pinyin of the Federation are simple and easy to learn, if they can be carefully refined into customization and popularized among the people, then the peddlers and pawns can write, all of them are sensible, and the merits of the ages are immeasurable. ”
"But pinyin is a way, only the pronunciation is not expressed. As the saying goes, ten miles are not the same sound, not to mention that the pronunciation is changing as the years go by. Pinyin alone, over time, the same tribe of the same ancestor will also evolve several languages that are not incompatible, and even become enemies. This is why there were Xiongnu and Turkic first, then Worm and Mongol in the steppe, and in the end they were all short-lived and divided. ”
On the other hand, although the pronunciation of Chinese characters is different in different places, they follow the same way of writing, and the dynasties have changed for thousands of years, but they have always maintained the same meaning. This is why no matter how the Central Plains is divided, it can eventually be reunited, and the steppe tribes that go south are gradually sinicized after a long time. Even Korea, Japan, the Ryukyus, and Annam, which are far away from the state, are imperceptibly China-oriented. ”
Dahai concluded: "Characters are difficult to learn, and the foundation of Datong society is also; The sound is simple and easy to understand, and the root of vendetta and division is also. Only the parallel pronunciation of words and yin and yang, can be the great plan for governing the country and securing the country. Child's enlightenment first pinyin, and then literacy; Ordinary people can pinyin, naturally can teach farming, scholars are good at writing, and naturally can inherit etiquette. As the days go by, the people are rich, the family is mixed, and there is no war. ”
Sun Yi was dumbfounded by Dahai's words.
Sun Yi invented pinyin only for the purpose of communication coding. Dahai actually raised pinyin and writing to the height of building a communist Datong society and the ultimate direction of mankind.
Sun Yi crooked his neck and thought about it for a long time, but he actually felt that what Dahai said was reasonable.
There are two main streams of human beings: hieroglyphic and pinyin. The Han and Tibetan who adhered to hieroglyphics have always been able to continue their own culture and form a stable cultural circle. And the entities that use pinyin characters seem to be constantly diverging.
Historically, Latin has been derived from French, Italian, Spanish, and Romanian, as if these countries were indeed at war, and they had long forgotten that they were once a family.
In later generations, the former "sun never sets on the British Empire" has evolved into English, American, Australian, Canadian, Hong Kong, Indian, and Filipino......
I heard that the president of the Philippines has greeted the president of the United States: "Mr. Obama, you can go to hell." ”
Although hieroglyphs have a natural cultural centripetal force, hieroglyphs are really difficult to learn. There are too many illiterates at the bottom, resulting in a fixed per capita output in the hieroglyphic circle for thousands of years. Efficiency cannot be improved, and economic growth can only be achieved by increasing the size of the population. When the size of the population exceeds the supply capacity of the environment, it triggers a collapse and begins a new cycle.
As a result, although the East has gone through several major cycles, there has been no industrial revolution to increase per capita efficiency.
To put it simply, "knowledge changes destiny". Hieroglyphics not only inherit knowledge, but also limit the transmission of knowledge, so the East has not been "running in time". To break this cycle, just add a "plug-in" of pinyin characters.
In the final analysis, it is nothing more than to improve pinyin and promote pinyin based on traditional Mongolian language, and there will be no harm in doing so anyway.
Thinking of this, Sun Yi sincerely retained Dahai, who had great ambitions and saved the people of the world with words.
Dahai said indifferently: "Abahai first accepted Tumut's non-resistance and surrender, and then killed the grassland people for no reason. He committed crimes against humanity because no one could restrain him. I must go back and restore the Eight Banners Republic Law left by the old Khan, this is death, and I must also try to save my love Xinjueluo. ”
