Volume 8: Chapter 284 of "Magnificent Rivers and Mountains": Expansion and Progress
Lin Bin thought about it very seriously, he didn't have many friends at all now. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
The world is so small, walking around are those few places, from obscurity to world-famous, the military overlord who accompanied the rise of Jin Ge Iron Horse is destined not to have many friends in his life, and there are enemies on his way that must be eliminated or postponed.
The alliance between the Han and the Western Regions is reliable and must exist for a short time, and they have a common enemy - the Xiongnu!
Because the military pressure of the Xiongnu brought the two forces together, they went from strangers to acquaintances, forming a kind of alliance based on the weak, this alliance state is not solid, once the pressure on the Xiongnu side is reduced or disappears, the two forces will inevitably collide, small-scale friction and conflict, and even the outbreak of war.
What Lin Bin has to do now is to help the people of the Western Regions, and in doing so, he is also helping himself, but he can't make the people of the Western Regions strong, and he needs to maintain a balance of power in the middle. With limited help, the Western Regions were able to barely resist the invasion of the Xiongnu, and at the same time, the Western Regions were inevitably weakened in the war with the Xiongnu, which was convenient for the Han to take the necessary military annexation or peaceful accommodation measures against the Western Regions in the future.
Each nation has its basic nature and strengths.
The Xiongnu believed that the means of war could subdue any enemy, so the Xiongnu had a military advantage, but due to the influence of national nature, the Xiongnu did not know how to create, and they used the instinct of national development: destroy, exterminate, and not make it coexist. There are national advantages and there must also be national weaknesses, and the achievements of the Xiongnu are limited by nature. They can rise and become strong in a short period of time, and the lack of a sense of coexistence also makes them more vulnerable to weakness.
The Xiongnu trusted and admired barbarism, so a people who only knew how to destroy would not go far. History has proven this.
Today's Chinese nation is very complex in nature, she has tolerance, but her tolerance has its own national boundaries, and all races that want to integrate into the Chinese nation must independently or passively admit that they are members of the descendants of Yan and Huang, and are willing to serve the dominant regime.
Take the Han Kingdom, for example, where there were fusion aliens in all aspects of the Han Kingdom, who served in the civilian or military classes. There are many aliens in the army system of the Han State, some of them are Xianbei people, some are Xiongnu, but without exception. They are being fused by the nature of the Chinese nation.
It turns out that each ethnic group is not static, and the Yan and Huang tribes in antiquity started from the source of the Yellow River, and they continued to recruit members in the movement, and the two growing tribes broke out into war over land. Succeed or fail to merge into a new nation. As a result, there are people in the world who claim to be the descendants of Yan and Huang, who have inherited the will of their ancestors and have an infinite desire for land, so that the consciousness of farming has taken root in the hearts of the descendants of Yan and Huang.
The Chinese people have changed from nomadism to agriculture because of their geographical relations, forming a certain social system, and they survive in a fixed sphere of influence. The effective social system allowed the descendants of Yan and Huang to give birth to their own civilization foundation, and the wisdom civilization brought relatively advanced ideas, which erupted into a family lineage, and the family unity continued to expand outward on the basis of cognition under the leadership class. Slowly from the source of the Yellow River to the rich Central Plains.
It must be recognized that the ancestors of the Chinese nation have never lacked the spirit of enterprising and expansion. The continuous conquest from the source of the narrow Yellow River and the establishment of the Chinese nation taking root in the Central Plains are enough to explain everything.
The impact of the expansion of the territory is to make this huge nation complicated, the family lineage care has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, so there is also self-interest, the difficulties encountered by each nation in the progress of the table are brought to the table, the strength of the family makes a central power of the dynasty weakened, so there is also the distribution of interest groups generated by the suppression of dynastic power to the minimum, this period is called the Spring and Autumn Kingdoms.
So the Chinese nation has never lacked the spirit of enterprising and expansion, when did this nation put a shackle on itself?
The source of the shackles is the current Liu Che Dynasty of the Western Han Dynasty, a great king who fulfilled the historical responsibility of expanding the living space, and at the same time brought a new turn to the nation......
The liberal and competitive school of thought died out under purposeful suppression, and a situation of dominance emerged. A nation that has lost its spirit of expansion and competition with other races will inevitably lead to decay, and under the restriction of one ideology, the thinking of the descendants of this nation will become ossified, especially under the doctrine that the school that dominates the people's thinking does not have the spirit of outward expansion, and the nation will inevitably breed countless infighting, and they will blindly wander around the most primitive center of interests, turning a blind eye to the interests within reach of the outside world.
One generation may not see the impact, but what is the result of generations of numb plagiarism of the five virtues established by the Confucian doctrine of yin and yang? It is this nation that never-ending carries out internal dynastic changes, constantly internal friction, continuous bloodshed, and then falls, and is enslaved by aliens more than once. What does it mean that advanced civilizations are ruled by backward civilizations, even though advanced civilizations are constantly passively integrating with invading backward civilizations? It means that the civilization that has reached the beginning of evolution is destroyed, and the development of the nation must start from scratch every time, and backwardness is inevitable.
Lin Bin always thought that coming to this world must have a meaning, he wandered and hesitated, and the first idea couldn't be simpler, that is, to stand under the female wall of the Liu Dynasty to witness the glory of the nation. Not surprisingly, his small vision did not materialize, and he embarked on a path that backfired, and he embarked on a difficult journey of self-preservation to develop into an autonomous political center.
At first, Lin Bin did not realize what his rise represented, he was still at a loss to act according to his instincts, and the only thought during that time was that "since he could not integrate into the Liu dynasty, he could also achieve the goal of contributing to the rise of the nation outside", and he began a new journey, using his limited strength to fight.
In the process of fighting, Lin Bin became more and more powerful, and the cruelty of the truth broke out, just like a proverb of the Chinese nation, 'one mountain cannot tolerate two tigers', waiting for Lin Bin to develop enough to threaten the Liu dynasty, which inevitably made the Liu dynasty hostile.
The two forces, which originally had the prospect of joint development, had developed a distrustful attitude, and they had lost hope for joint development, and the change of events made them have no choice but to go to confrontation.
Same root, same origin? Yes, although both sides are not very comfortable, but they do not deny that the two forces are of the same root, which is a very strange phenomenon, they are hostile, suspicious, and contested, but under external pressure, no war has broken out, and at the same time they know that there is a struggle for the dominant national status in the future, and the confrontation cannot be avoided when the external pressure disappears.
The hesitation of the supreme ruler is easily discovered by the leadership below, they cannot influence the will of the supreme ruler, but they can carry out subconscious guidance, and countless people are trying to reverse and dispel the hesitation in the heart of the supreme ruler. Some of them have taken practical actions, paving the way little by little, and the end of that road is to merge or be merged.
Three months is not long, but it is not short.
On the eve of the new year, the arsenal that dragged on for a month finally officially produced armaments, and the two arsenals inherited the streamlined management system of the pre-Qin Dynasty, and adopted the method of producing parts separately and then assembling them, and the output was very considerable because of the reasonable systematic system, and the new batch of strategic materials was accumulating, and if it entered a good cycle, it was enough to cope with the consumption of the Xiongnu war in the coming year.
Because two more small iron ore mines and one medium-sized iron ore mine have been surveyed, which are expected to provide the consumption of two arsenals and ensure that the supply will not be interrupted, the Quan Zheng Secretary has approved the plan and decided to build two more arsenals. The Department of Civil Affairs also won a share of the establishment of a private agricultural tool production factory under Xiao Yan's strong struggle.
The development of domestic affairs is booming, and the expansion of the military is also quite beneficial.
With the strategic policy of the Han Ministry into orbit, with the advantage of continuous support from the rear, the Black Flag Army and the Tiger Army have gradually gained the initiative in the battlefield of Wei's Korea, because of the correct strategic deployment, the supply channel in the western part of Wei's Korea has been cut off, so that Wei's Korea has to shrink again, and the Wei's Korean army in Liaoxi and Liaodong has withdrawn, and the area is being taken over by the Tiger Army.
No one can doubt that the war against Wei's Korea will be lost, victory is inevitable, the difference is that it will take a little time to wait.
On the other hand, Lu Yan, who was sent to Liangdi, had already organized an army of 30,000 Di people, and they reasonably accepted gifts from the central power of the Han State in the name of the Di people, and basically completed the initial preparations for war, and then they could go to the battlefield in the Western Regions to participate in the deployment of defenses.
There are good things and there are bad ones, for example, Lin Bin is being forced into strong contradictions in all aspects, and a new problem is bothering this not very smart ruler all the time. The subordinates didn't dare to ask directly, but Han Anguo didn't have that trouble, he was very straightforward, so straightforward that Lin Bin was a little annoyed, Han Anguo asked more than once: "Do you want to prepare to go south after the war between the Xiongnu and the Han State?" ”
Lin Bin has been forced to make a decision on whether to fight for control of the Central Plains, after all, the pattern of the consequences of the war will definitely change.
Time is still passing, after the initial annoyance, Lin Bin is really trying to make a judgment, and countless voices are reminding him: not going south to replace the Liu dynasty is a crime against the Central Plains civilization, the regime under his leadership is more dynamic, and the governance ideas beyond the times can make the nation go further......
