Chapter 133: Conditioning Pig-like Opponents and Teammates

As the saying goes, 'If you are not afraid of a god-like opponent, you are afraid of a pig-like teammate', the original history of the Song Dynasty Lianjin to destroy Liao and Lianmeng to destroy Jin is a counterexample of this sentence, 'not afraid of a pig-like opponent, just afraid of god-like teammates' The Song Empire couldn't even win the two teammates in the primitive tribal alliance stage, and the highly centralized [***] farming empire lost to the two teammates of the primitive tribal alliance who had just been promoted to a military slavery nomadic empire. This not only reflects the high vision of the Song Empire in selecting teammates, but also reflects its own weakness and great foolishness.

It is very clear to the public that China has always been unable to win against the ethnic minorities in the north, and that a local government of an ethnic minority with a total population of less than 500,000 can destroy a highly advanced mainstream majority with a population more than 100 times larger than its own. When the Khitan, Jurchen, Mongol and other ethnic groups established their own national power, they basically just unified from a scattered number of tribes to a tribal alliance, and after a transition period of a few years to decades, they could become god-like killers of the Han civilization. Why is that?

Most of the reasons are due to internal problems. Every defeat to the enemy is because of internal division, turmoil, corruption, and cowardice. All this stems from the misreading of the policy of valuing agriculture and suppressing commerce in the Han civilization system. Before the emergence of this policy, China has always been out of a state of expansion, the Yan and Huang people transformed into the Han before the Xia and Shang dynasties, the Spring and Autumn Warring States and the Qin Kingdom era, there is no shadow and necessity of heavy agriculture and suppression of business, Shang Yang tinkered out of this policy of heavy agriculture and suppression of commerce is also to facilitate the implementation of the strategy of farming and warfare, and strengthen the national strength and military combat effectiveness of the Qin Kingdom, but he cannot imagine that China is still holding high its own backward policy of strengthening the emperor and national strength in this feudal era after entering the highly centralized imperial era. The consequences of not keeping up with the times are tragic.

The appreciation of capital is extremely slow, and the rich have fixed their capital on the land, which has limited the development of technology and industry and commerce. The social structure can only evolve around the main theme of wealth distribution, and the technological innovation and institutional innovation that promote wealth creation have been repeatedly suppressed. A typical ideology centered on the distribution of power has been formed, and the ideological foundation of the official standard and the power standard has been shaped. For 2,000 years, the minds of all elites have been framed by this outdated thinking that does not keep pace with the times, and how to make the emperor more powerful or how to maintain it without letting the emperor lose power.

**Relatives, eunuchs, princes of feudal towns, leaders of peasant uprisings, and ministers of the auxiliary power, you sing and I appear, the last Manchu of the northern nomadic fishing and hunting civilization established the Qing Empire, which absorbed the strengths of all families, eliminated all the internal troubles that could threaten the imperial power** Relatives, eunuchs, feudal town princes, peasant uprising leaders, and ministers of Zai Fuquan were all eliminated, but I didn't expect that after the Opium War, there was a strange picture of Cixi who listened to the government, and the peasant uprising of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, Zeng Guofan, who was backed by the Hunan army, and Li Hongzhang, a disciple of his own disciple, came to make guest appearances in the feudal towns of the powerful ministers and warlords, and finally let Yuan Shikai, the master of the collection, bury the Qing Dynasty ruled by Manchu and Mongolia.

This idea of a monistic surname naturally leads to the result that the power and responsibility are not clear, and the credit and responsibility are borne by the emperor alone. The slightest faintness of the emperor is in danger of destroying the country, which is naturally extremely typical. There are many loyal ministers and good generals in the Great Song Empire, but they can't stand Huizong's brains and blind tossing.

If China does not have the shackles of heavy agriculture and suppression of commerce, capital can flow into commerce and industry, and the improvement of productivity can naturally easily solve border troubles and natural disasters, and the land in the north will no longer be worthless. Losing the land', the various agricultural and sideline products and resources produced are enough to make up for the cost of maintaining the occupation, and naturally there will be no basis for the growth of ethnic minorities (the Chu people who dealt with the southern barbarians only became the hegemon only because they had advanced technology); natural disasters will also lose the energy to shake the national capital under the abundant material reserves produced by the developed agriculture with advanced technical support. In this way, a peasant uprising is impossible, and the energy of the ministers and the emperor will also shift from fighting for the right to share the cake to making the cake, and all the eunuchs and eunuchs will lose the meaning of existence, because the emperor no longer needs them to be used as a tool to fight for power with the ministers. Without external troubles, the warlords in the border towns would have lost the basis for their existence, and it would be impossible for self-respecting warlords like Li Chengliang and Wu Sangui to appear.

The current Great Song Empire is at a critical turning point, and the sworn enemy of Jin Guo, which determines its fate, has been firmly controlled by the traversal people, and now the traversal who have the initiative to actively change the ideology of heavy agriculture and suppression of commerce needs to slowly start from all aspects. The students trained under his command and the huge vested interest groups are the necessary software and manpower base, and the factories and mining facilities in various regions and industries are the hardware, and the only thing that is lacking now is an environment and major events that completely subvert people's thinking. I think that if it weren't for the changes promoted by Shang Ying to successfully make the Qin State strong and finally unify the Six Kingdoms, the idea of valuing agriculture and suppressing commerce would not have penetrated into the hearts of the rulers of previous dynasties.

In order to recreate the miracles of the past, the traversal needs a mercantile success story to reverse the ideology. At this time, Jinguo, which has successfully grown into a regional hegemon, has become the best case target. Making the country a miraculous presence would be enough to convince everyone to accept the ideological change. It was certainly a miracle created by the Qin State to unify the world with a thousand times of a thousand times, but this miracle took six generations, and in order to achieve the same miraculous effect, the Crossing Masses needed to build the Jin State established by the Jurchen tribe with a total population of less than 200,000 into a powerful empire comparable to the Qin State in a single generation or even less.

There is no doubt about the strength of the Jin State, and with the support of the crossing people, it is even more powerful, as evidenced by the fact that the Goryeo and Liao States basically did not have the strength to fight back. But the god-like Jin Guo is not a teammate of the traversal, but a lackey who has not yet been completely domesticated. While this lackey is becoming stronger, the Liao and Goryeo countries are relatively weak. For example, the economic growth rate of the Jin State is 20% per year, while the Goryeo and Liao States are only 1% of the agricultural era per year, and will soon be surpassed by the Jin State in an all-round way. These countries that have been colonized by the Crossing Nation are too weak, so it is necessary to support and maintain the balance of power in the region. As the strength continued to grow, the list on the ranking of the opponents was constantly changing, and the rankings of the various groups subdivided in the vested interest groups of the Great Song Empire, such as the Jiangmen, the old party, the new party, the royal family, and the wealthy families in various places, continued to decline. God-like opponents almost slowly disappear as the forces of the Crossing Force grow stronger, while the number of pig-like teammates increases with the increase of the Crossing Crowd's stakeholders.

Many of the new partner families of Liao and Goryeo were fortunate enough to be on the list of teammates who crossed the crowd like pigs. In order to prevent these teammates from being killed too quickly in the Jurchens' strong activities that squeezed their living space, thereby damaging the Travelers' own reputation and centripetal force, the Travelers had to start training them. It's useless to just send money, but also to send a lot of instructors and instructors, arms, sign various underwriting contracts, and steadily and continuously strengthen their self-protection ability (pig-like teammates can only use 'it'). Otherwise, it is very likely that in a rapid advance of the Jurchens' self-confidence, they will be directly attacked by Wanyan.

And after many god-like opponents gradually weakened into pig-like opponents because of the strength of the crossing crowd, in order to increase the playable and stable surnames of the game and layout, the crossing crowd definitely woke up a few smart people of the opponent family, let them realize their own tricks and methods, increase some of the troubles of their subordinates, and by the way, assess the adaptability of their subordinates and increase some of their own fun.
