In fact, the empire is not not doing the thing of brainwashing~, but it is different from the brainwashing of the whole people~ The brainwashing should be loyal to a certain individual or a collective, and the brainwashing of the empire ~ is used in other aspects.

Loyalty is definitely not a thing that can be done well by relying on brainwashing ~ brain, if you want to make people loyal all the time in addition to brainwashing ~ you must also carry out the great cause of killing chickens and monkeys from time to time, such as picking out a weak or strong group, just find a reason or no reason at all to slaughter it, come to a national trembling, and then instill the idea that you must be loyal, and the disloyal group will become the next batch of slaughtered objects.

Similar things can always be found in history, such as "I Daqing" and Nazi Germany from 1933 to 1945. However, in general, the mustache is not as ruthless as the leaders of the Tunguska boar skin in the past, and even the Tunguska boar skin is better than the mustache in terms of cultural castration.

The brainwashing of the empire ~ is mainly to promote the immigration of the people to the vast and sparsely populated border counties, and very depressed said that the brainwashing ~ does not seem to be successful.

There is one thought that has been successfully implanted, and it is about plundering outward, but I have to say a very true word, any brainwashing ~ really needs to see blood, whether it is for the brainwashing ~ object or about the enemy, the idea of bloodshed is always easier for the human beings of the spirit of all things to accept. In a sense, Xunzi's statement that human nature is inherently evil does not seem to be without purpose?

Brainwashing ~ is used to be loyal to a certain individual or a collective, and the effect is definitely stronger than in others, that is because people have the primitive desire to worship ~ hope, for example, in the primitive era to believe in all gods, even when science and technology are extremely developed, they know that there is no "heavenly palace" and no gods on the cloud, but there are still a large number of people who believe that there is really a "heavenly palace" or the existence of immortals.

Brainwashing ~ is generally artificially carried out by the gods ~ movement, which is propaganda based on a certain prestige, and then relies on repetition over and over again, so that the original reverence of the psychology becomes extremely fanatical. This behavior has not been interrupted at any given time.

It's just that it's not so easy to create a god ~ to move this kind of brainwashing ~ brain, the first premise is that the information received by the brainwashed ~ brain must be expected to be received, and the brainwashing ~ brain is the most taboo to be known by some non-brainwashing ~ brainwashing information, and even negative information that denigrates the created god appears, so it must be a closed environment. (e.g. North Stick)

In addition, it naturally doesn't matter if the brainwashing ~ brain for individuals or collectives is not regurgitated, but as long as there is regurgitation, the consequences are usually very terrible. That will produce a kind of rebellious psychology, once there are some haunted groups to carry out targeted propaganda, the people who have been previously brainwashed ~ will turn to hatred for the object of worship before. Hatred will lead them to act stupidly, and it will be too late to regret it when they find out that they have fallen into a hostile force. (e.g. Iraq)

The empire does not intend to close the country, and the brainwashing of individual or collective worship ~ brainwashing is not feasible at all, and then the damage of brainwashing ~ to a nation is far more serious than imagined, it is a terrible ideological suppression, after the movement of the gods ~ the nation depends on when the god "disappears", and after the "disappearance" will affect a generation, resulting in the nation in any social progress is a state of stagnation. If you create divine luck~ it is generation after generation. After a few generations, a family and country will definitely lag behind in an all-round way, and it will be enough not to encounter external threats, and if it encounters a strong country to attack, its destruction can almost become a foregone conclusion.

Ruling has never relied on individual or collective brainwashing of the people~. There are no absolute fools in the world, and the situation may be stable when there is no comparison, but after the comparison, people will only use the standard of living to judge whether the ruler takes them to heart, and once life is not satisfactory, there may really be chicken soup for the soul or something. But there will definitely be a lot of people who are dissatisfied with the rulers.

What kind of countries usually close their borders? Either there are too many foreign enemies, and the country can't resist it, so it can only close itself off to reduce any interference; More often than not, the ruler wants to achieve the longevity of a family. Then it became clear that the internal contradictions were very big, and the reason why the contradictions did not break out was that there was no fuse, and once the fuse was ignited, it would inevitably be blown to pieces. In this way, in order to be able to make his family ruler for a long time, he can only choose to block any news.

Any country that is closed off is a fragile state, and they lock themselves up in a cage that will keep them out of touch with the outside world for a long time. Man is an animal that needs to communicate, and the country cannot have any communication, which will not guarantee that it can keep up with the pace of the times, and even make the country become isolated and targeted, and it is more realistic that it is more difficult for any country to achieve self-sufficiency, and it has lost the communication and necessary trade with the outside world, which is not only ideologically backward, but also doomed the country to long-term hardship.

"The reason why we want to communicate with those countries in Central Asia is not to bring them anything." Meng Tian can actually say something nice, but there is really no need to hide it from his own people. "We want to get something from them and then give them the influence we want to give," he said. ”

Liu Bang re-found Meng Tian out of a sense of apprehension, and the two had been communicating alone for a while.

What are you worried about? Liu Bang was worried about how long he needed to stay in the Western Regions, and he was also worried that if Mao Dun was not resolved, even if the envoy group could continue to go west, it was estimated that it would be extremely uncomfortable at that time.

The team led by Liu Bang was the first envoy group in Chinese history to travel tens of thousands of miles, not the kind of diplomatic exchanges under the same ethnic group before, nor the kind of foreign exchanges that traveled less than 10,000 miles at most, but an unprecedented envoy group that would travel tens of thousands of miles to communicate with some distant powers.

Under normal circumstances, there is always a phenomenon of communication between different ethnic groups, that is, they hold friendship in one hand and weapons in the other. Friendship will only exist when it is discovered that no one can help anyone, and once the strength of both sides is not equal, it must be the hand holding the weapon that is stretched out.

What kind of communication between the ethnic groups and the other races in the land of China was before? Looking back at the small tribe at the source of the Yellow River I don't know how many years ago, and then thinking about the recent Zhou Dynasty (Spring and Autumn Period and Warring States Period), it is not difficult to find that when the Chinese ethnic groups communicate with other races, they usually have wars, wars, wars...... War after war, and then victory after victory, even if it is defeated, it is not to the tragic situation of destroying the country and the species that cannot be defeated.

What if you lose? It is not that the Chinese ethnic group has not failed in foreign wars, but usually loses once, and the turtle shrinks back to cultivate, not necessarily how long it takes to cultivate. waited for the right time and pounced again, and it was like a never-ending posture over and over again. As long as you are not congenital weak-hearted, under normal circumstances, you can always consume the other party to death, once there is a "stalking fight" that does not take the initiative to attack, it is a choice of comprehensive passive defense, and it should be dragged by the other party's "stalking" to weaken the national strength, in fact, even if it is weak, it is nothing, weakness plus civil strife or some people die on their own, then there is nothing to say, anyway, it is over.

"Our ancestors developed from a small tribe at the source of the Yellow River to the present. It is built on foreign aggression again and again. Meng Tian said to Liu Bang very seriously: "Therefore, there is no friendship between ethnic groups, and there should be no peace between countries, because friendship and peace cannot be defeated." ”

Liu Bang was actually in a state of confusion, he was here to get down to business, but Meng Tian kept talking about concepts that he didn't understand too well.

Meng Tian naturally saw Liu Bang's state of confusion, but he was still happy to talk about those ideas.

"What's that......" Liu Bang couldn't stand it a little: "Aren't we discussing how to solve the matter of Maudun?" ”

"Maudun? It depends on when Wusun will be stable, how far the empire wants Wusun to be stable, and then when the transportation line from the mainland to this side can support a war of annihilation against Wan. Meng Tian smiled and said, "Let's continue to discuss how to export our values to those countries in Central Asia, right?" ”

Liu Bang's cheeks twitched and said, "I want them to agree with our values." Isn't it necessary to convince them first, so that they know or recognize our strength, and then proceed? ”

"That's right!" Meng Tian looked even happier with a smile: "What does it depend on to convince them?" ”

No matter how sluggish Liu Bang is, he should suddenly be surprised, it's not that the Western Expeditionary Corps doesn't want to fight. As generals of warriors, their fame and fortune are based on war, how can they not want to fight? He grasped a key point, that is, what seemed to be wrong with the supply line from the empire mainland to the Western Regions?

"Hmm. This is the case. Meng Tian bowed his head and said: "General Zhengbei with three legions has been fighting intermittently with the Jituo Xiongnu, so the war against Junji Mountain has begun. ”

The Battle of the Prairies? In order to capture the Junji Mountains and the surrounding grasslands, the empire made a lot of preparations. In order to either not fight, once the fight starts, it is bound to win, not only to win but also to complete the occupation of the actual goal.

Liu Bang didn't get any information about the battle of the grassland, and he asked a little presumptuously: "Is it ...... Something went wrong over there? ”

Meng Tian is a military system, and the military has an internal newspaper, which will report the ongoing war of the empire, and some battles with results will be more detailed, and there will be a rough war report for wars without results. Sent to the latest issue of the Di newspaper of the Western Expeditionary Corps, which contained a record that the Jituo Xiongnu were "hiding and seeking" with the Northern Expeditionary Corps.

"Huh?" Liu Bang is not so knowledgeable about military affairs, but his sense of smell has always been sensitive: "In other words, Ji Tuo doesn't care about territorial gains and losses at all, and even hopes that the Northern Expeditionary Corps will pounce on the Junji Mountain with complex terrain?" ”

"That's the case, before the elimination of enough Duoji Huns' living forces, the Northern Expeditionary Corps is not suitable to pounce into Junji Mountain, the war process between the two sides is in dodge and chase, so the Huns have learned smart from a series of lessons......" Meng Tian sighed: "Without forcing the Jituo Xiongnu to launch a decisive battle at the beginning, or to carry out a frontal positional battle, the prolonged war has become inevitable, in order not to have an accident due to insufficient baggage, it is necessary to strengthen the material delivery of the Northern Expeditionary Corps." ”

"So yes...... The Western Expeditionary Corps was unable to take campaign-level military operations, and then the envoys did not know how long they would stay in the Western Regions? Liu Bang was dumbfounded and almost desperate: "It is possible that other people will be rotated back because they are still in the Western Regions, and Chen Yu and I, as the chief and deputy envoys of the envoy group, have no possibility of being rotated, so we will not die of old age in the Western Regions, right?" ”

Meng Tian is still more sympathetic to Liu Bang and Chen Yu, and it is true that as Liu Bang said, it is not child's play to replace the national envoys, and there is no easy replacement unless it is absolutely necessary.

"You can't die of old age." Meng Tian comforted: "How the Western Expeditionary Corps should act does not depend entirely on our own wishes, but also on what kind of choices the opponent will make. ”

Liu Bang was stunned when he heard this, he looked at Meng Tian with suspicious eyes, and pondered in his heart: "This sounds very inflammatory~ inflammatory!" He wasn't suggesting something I should do? ”

The empire is supporting the new round of grassland battles of the Northern Expeditionary Corps, but it does not mean that the empire has no spare strength to open a second front. The current situation has nothing to do with the lack of resources in the Empire, let alone the lack of manpower to support transportation, but the fact that the Empire is trying to adjust its national focus in preparation for the upcoming disarmament, and also to control the pace of outward expansion. This point is not only understood by Liu Bang, but also by anyone who pays attention to the changes in national policy.

The more Liu Bang thought about it, the more he felt that there was that possibility, once the empire turned its attention to the Western Regions again, the Western Legion could benefit, and there was another meaning for Meng Tian.

Isn't Meng Tian's late lord Fusu about to leave on the way to the end? The main purpose of the Western Legion into the Western Regions was to meet the expansion needs of the Western Regions, and did it not mean to establish a feudal state for Fusu to serve as an outpost?

Fusu has two legions, benefiting from the strong support of the emperor, and there are also some Qin nobles who are more or less helping, it should be said that the situation of the two legions of Qin Fengguo is much better than that of Wei Fengguo's under-formed legion.

The fiefdom that Qin Fengguo was going to was very far, which was equivalent to crossing the entire Western Regions and then arriving at the original territory of the Sakya people.

"Recently, there has been some news that someone has suggested that the envoy corps should merge with the Qin King's team." Meng Tian glanced at Liu Bang deeply and said: "They think that the two teams are combined, and the armed men are equal to the three legions, and judging from some examples, the combat strength of the three legions is not bad, and they can eliminate the threat of Maudun, so that both sides can continue to complete their missions." ”

"&*......&%¥¥" In addition to the garbled characters in Liu Bang's head, the only thing left is scolding! (To be continued.) )
