Zeng Guofan was not as stupid as Yang Fuqing imagined. His ass is heavier than anyone else's.

What is Zeng Guofan? It's just a sour one. A person who relied on the appreciation of the powerful ministers to take nine years to walk the road of promotion that others have spent half their lives, or even a lifetime can not complete. He was truly a rare beneficiary in the Manchu court, because he was, after all, of Han Chinese descent. He has never touched the sword, and the era he lives in is no longer the era when all scholars must place swords, and the book sword and the sword are the glory of the ancestors. He hadn't even read any war books, because to him, that thing was useless, and he was mixed with officialdom, not the battlefield.

Therefore, from the very beginning, he trained his troops to fight, using a stupid method that seemed the most stupid to others, and only the clever would understand the secret. Let's not talk about military training, maybe he didn't know when he was bored one day, he saw Qi Jiguang, and he left it in his impression, and now he learns from the cat and the tiger. Of course, he hasn't forgotten an "invention", the high army pays the soldiers, the people die for money, and the birds die for food. No matter how it is, people who don't like money anyway can't think of this way.

In this respect, he was obviously much smarter than the rest of the men who controlled the army, and he even snickered at the other high-ranking officers, those who tried to make a fortune by deducting their salaries. Loving money is not the kind of person who loves the law, if the soldiers run out, their net worth and life will be lost in the end, so who will spend the money for? Shallow, too shallow!

When it comes to fighting, he can't fight, but he's stupid and stupid. He only pursues results in everything he does, and applies this thinking to tactics, that is, step by step, it doesn't matter how long it takes to fight a battle, the key is to achieve the final victory. Therefore, he asked each battalion to serve with the battalion, and if he didn't bring anything, he should bring enough food and drink, and more importantly, use it. What shovels, pickaxes, hoes, etc., the more the merrier, once used, it must reach one person. Accompanied by sufficient logistical supplies, it is a tactical strategy that he and his subordinates never get tired of talking about. Didn't the Taiping army like to stick to the city or camp to wait for work? Well, let's get to their sights and build a fortification, then dig a deep trench and advance like a spider's web, little by little, until we reach the enemy's stronghold, or by the wall. As for whether it takes a month or a year to build a camp or break through a city, it doesn't matter, just fight slowly with them like mushrooms.

He is actually really smart, so smart that when the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs and said that it was the greatest shame of the Han nation, then if he was to make a fortune by exterminating the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, this shame would reach the pinnacle. It was he, a shameless man who claimed to be a master of Han Confucianism, science and culture, who put an even heavier history of shame on the Chinese.

It is regarded as a barbarian invasion and finally ruled the land of China, and there are only two in the long history of thousands of years, one is the Mongol Yuan, and the other is the Manchu Qing.

The Han culture is broad and profound, and etiquette governs the country. Perhaps because of this, although it has been powerful countless times in history, it has never been able to eradicate the invasion from the northern barbarians. The Han people are too kind. Kindness is so good that even those who surrendered to the Xiongnu in the strong Han still have to adopt a preferential policy, and there are even tens of thousands of people who surrender to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, all of whom are rewarded, rewarded, and the food and clothing are given to the county officials, and the county officials do not give them. The Son of Heaven is a loss of food, and he will take advantage of the public opinion to take advantage of it." In the Tang Dynasty, there was a ban on plundering the Turks, Tibetans, Uighurs, and Silla as slaves. They never thought of completely destroying the so-called barbarians.

On the other hand, the Mengyuan and Manchu Qing dynasties. During the reign of the Mongol Yuan, the Han Chinese were the fourth class, that is, the most humble people. While Meng Yuan brutally killed and bullied the Han nation, it did not forget to ravage the culture of the Han nation. Before the two Song Dynasties, the Chinese "worship the turtle is supreme, deepest and complete", and the family of all generations is from the Yellow Emperor, and the Yellow Emperor is a people with the turtle as a totem. In the legendary historical period, every time the Chinese nation took a step towards civilization, it all turned to or attributed it to the turtle. For example, helping Nuwa to make up for the sky, offering gossip to Fuxi, making decisions on the Yellow Emperor's battle against Chiyou, helping Yao Lide to govern the country, helping Yu to control the water, helping Cangjie to make characters, showing Tang and Xia, helping Zhou Gong to make gifts, building a city for Qin, and so on. Even the God of Wealth was not the Marshal Zhao Gong as people later knew, but a turtle. In thousands of years of history, the Chinese have regarded turtles as the most just, effective and realistic god of wealth.

In the Tang Dynasty, people pushed the worship of turtles to the peak. The traditional troop dispatch was changed to the Tiger Talisman to the Turtle Talisman, and the Metropolitan Protectorate on the northern border was changed to the Turtle Forest Mansion. By the time of the Two Song Dynasties, before the war, the Chinese even had to go to the turtle and ask for turtle help. During the war, the soldiers formed a strong belief: as long as there is still a turtle flag, they will be invincible in attack and battle. The turtle has become an irreplaceable military courage and military might. However, the national conquest of the Yuan Dynasty caused the turtle to fall into the abyss of filth from the supreme position. Because the Chinese worship turtles and have spiritual power that people today can no longer imagine, Kublai Khan believed that this was the general curse of his loss of troops. So, as a conqueror, he began to eliminate the "turtle plague" in an all-round way.

In the twenty-two histories before the Yuan Dynasty, there were people and things named after turtles in all dynasties. Since the three histories of the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, there is no trace of personnel named turtle. Even the "Eight King Turtles", one of the eight famous turtles recorded in the "Historical Records", was used as an "official star" and "God of Wealth" that people could not ask for, but it was also tampered with after the Yuan Dynasty to become the "Eight King Turtles". and then deduced "bastard", "bastard" and other swear words. Is it ridiculous? In the nearly 5,000-year history of civilization of the Chinese nation, the turtle culture of more than 4,000 years has been completely distorted in this way.

Although the rule of the Mongol Yuan was extremely barbaric, the Chinese retained their national costume and hairstyle. Perhaps the beginning of the Meng Yuan just took it as a label of an inferior nation, leaving it to be more convenient to distinguish.

The Manchu Qing Dynasty, on the other hand, was more vicious and purer in its destruction of Han Chinese culture to ten, hundred, or even a thousand times.

By the time of the fall of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the total population was only 5 million. As minority rulers, the Manchus instinctively pursued their "nationalism." Compared with the simple and crude "four people" system of the Mongol Yuan, the Manchu Qing Dynasty promoted the so-called "all-round nationalism", that is, an all-round "nationalism" integrating politics, economy, military, and culture.

On the 10th of Yangzhou, the beast behavior of the three slaughters in Jiading will not be said, and there is nothing to say. From a cultural point of view alone, the Manchus are indeed a barbarian, and they were only created in the Nurhachi era, and the cultural backwardness is self-evident. After entering the customs, the Manchu Qing Dynasty could only and most importantly attached great importance to using culture as a spiritual weapon to rule the Han nation. What they did reached the peak of the destruction of the Central Plains culture by the barbarians for thousands of years, and also reached the peak of the destruction of the spiritual culture of the Han nation.

The first expression is the shaving order that comprehensively strangled the self-esteem of the Han nation and the traditional culture of the nation. Historically, ethnic minorities invaded and entered the Central Plains, such as "chaotic with the Di, Qiang, Turkic, Khitan, and Mongolian winds", but most of them were assimilated by the Han people with a long cultural accumulation. The Yuan Dynasty also tried to change the uniform clothing of the Han people, but it turned out to be one of the important triggers for the Han rebellion at the end of the Yuan Dynasty.

The Manchu shaving order was not only a great insult to the Han nation, but also a devastating blow to the collective self-esteem and self-confidence of the Han nation. It also made the Han nation's thousands of years of hairstyle and clothing tradition suddenly suffer, and "Tang Dynasty clothing is gone" is still its appearance, so that the Han nation has lost its pride, self-esteem and self-confidence in the spiritual realm.

And the spiritual rule that is more sinister than the shaving order is the Zunkong. As soon as Dolgon entered the customs, he immediately worshiped the Confucian Temple with great fanfare. It's a big joke that brings tears to your eyes. The pigtailed soldiers of the Manchu Dynasty killed people and set fires, doing all kinds of evil, and at the same time worshipping the Confucian temple to show how they admired etiquette. The status of this "Confucian saint" is also in this flowing sea of blood and mountains of white bones, and has reached the unprecedented "lofty status" of "gathering thousands of saints and waiting for a hundred kings".

Who would believe this to be true? The descendants of the Confucian Mansion believed and begged their new masters of the Manchu Dynasty in a humble manner, hoping to preserve the clothes of the Confucian family that had lasted for more than 3,000 years, but what did they suffer? There is only the usual saying, that is, "keep your head without hair, keep your hair without your head"!

Not only that, but the Manchu Qing Dynasty also attached great importance to and used the "eunuch theory" of "Lixue" to enslave and slaughter the traditional spirit of the Han nation.

For the first time, science became an official school from the opposition, that is, when the alien race entered the Central Plains of the Mengyuan Dynasty, as an extraordinary political scholar, Kublai Khan had a keen sense of smell, and regarded science as an official science, so as to be more conducive to ruling the Han nation with a large population. Kublai Khan also commanded the world in the name of "the great master of Confucianism". But Kublai Khan's descendants rarely have such wisdom as him, and in the Mengyuan Dynasty, the cultural governance was quite poor, and even such a big measure as the imperial examination, which could buy people's hearts, was often wasted.

However, the Manchu Qing Dynasty not only inherited the iron-blooded policy of the Meng Yuan, but also was more cunning than the Meng Yuan, so that the Qing Dynasty had more than 260 years of "the prosperity of the right text, rare in ancient times". This victory of Youwen is not only manifested in Kangxi's "Edict of Erudition and Confucianism", but also the special grand event of the Siku Quanshu, which has a purpose, a plan, an organization, and a systematic unprecedented poison and wanton slander against the heroic history of the Han nation. The manchu Qing Dynasty's clever and vicious methods were not book burning, but also "total destruction, demolition, and stripping" and the like were not mentioned. The most insidious thing is to delete and modify the content of the ancient book, and its purpose is very, very clear, that is, to tell you "never think that there were people with a lot of backbone among our Chinese authors." ”

It should be said that they succeeded. After more than 200 years of spiritual enslavement by the Manchu Qing Dynasty, by this time of the Zeng State Domain, the Manchu Qing Dynasty had basically completed the goal of making the Han nation forget its blood history and never feel that there were any very backbone people in the Han nation. "The Qing people compiled and repaired the "Siku Quanshu" and the ancient books died"! What died is not only the ancient book, but what is lost is not only the hairstyle and clothing, which is the great rupture and destruction of the spiritual inheritance of the Han nation.

Mr. Lu Xun once said: "What reminded me of the boundaries of the Manchu and Han dynasties was not books, but braids, and it was the cutting off of many of our ancients' heads, which was planted." By the time we have knowledge, everyone has long forgotten the blood history, in fact, this blood history that everyone has long forgotten, the Siku Quanshu is still indispensable. ”
