Chapter 394: Taking Responsibility for History

Shi Bufan's doing this actually had a good effect, especially when the East Asian countries began to be hostile to this Japanese state. www.biquge.info I am afraid that this Japanese country has been hostile to students from East Asian countries, so they will be in trouble in the future. Moreover, most of the people sent to the Tang Dynasty by this East Asian country are young nobles who come to gild, and their influence in the country is huge. Even if they plan to come over to gild, after they go back, they will either inherit the status of the family, even if it is not a direct inheritance, it will be promoted and reused. Their influence on domestic policies has been very strong, and it has directly affected the perception of East Asian countries towards the Japanese state, so that the Japanese country may be isolated in the future.

In contrast, the Wa Kingdom has great potential for development and has even realized the need for reform. However, although the Wa Kingdom was aware of the reform, the influence of the traditional aristocracy was still very large, and it took not a little time to let the talents at the bottom of the society go to the top. At that time, Shang Ying opened up a way to the top in order to open up a path to the bottom of the society, and even died in the end and became a victim of reform. The Shang Dynasty reform was successful, allowing many people at the bottom of society to rise to the top through military exploits, but at the expense of themselves.

If Japan wants to take this path, it will also face more hardships. At present, the degree of class solidification in this East Asian country is very serious, and their social system is still retained in comparison with the Spring and Autumn period in China, and the social hierarchy is still very clear. Although there are still social hierarchies in the Tang Dynasty, and although there are still scholars, the social class is not as serious as in East Asian countries. It was a period of real transition from slavery to feudalism in East Asia, and during this period, Silla, Goguryeo, and even Tibet were all undergoing social system reform and social transformation. However, in the end, the social transformation was only completed by the Daehua reform of the Wa Kingdom, and after the occupation of the peninsula by Silla, the gradual transformation of the kings of Jindeman, Jinshengman, and Chunqiu was successful. Tibet went through the transformation of Songtsen Gampo, so that the social transformation was gradually completed.

In fact, the historical status of Songtsen Gampo is similar to that of Shang Ying and Qin Shi Huang in ancient China, which completed the final blow of unification and completed the social transformation. The Wa Kingdom also underwent social transformation around this time, and even Silla did the same. Therefore, this era is the peak of the transition from slavery to feudalism in East Asian countries, and it is not an isolated case of the Japanese state. To put it mildly, even if the Japanese did not receive the cultural support of China, they would have been able to complete the social transformation through other means, which is also a historical necessity.

"China has completed a social transformation about a thousand years compared to them, which is China's advantage, but it is also China's disadvantage. China has completed its social transformation and has missed that era of very aggressiveness. The aggressiveness brought about by the social transformation in the bones has long since subsided. If we do not enter the second social transformation as soon as possible, China's first-mover advantage will be greatly negated. Taking advantage of the second social transformation of China's productive forces, it is necessary to strive for the annexation of East Asia, or at least East Asia. In the future, there will only be one language in East Asia, and that is Chinese! Shi Bufan thought.

Shi Bufan turned around and prepared to leave, and this time these international students could take a temporary vacation. Because it is almost impossible for any school to come to class on the first day, it is to give some time for free activities and familiarity with the local area. However, this international student college uses a credit system, so you can choose your own tutor to listen to the class, and you can even choose the class time by yourself. As long as there is no conflict between the class schedule, you can arrange your life time almost freely.

Under the credit system, it relies heavily on self-study, and if you don't take the initiative to learn, you will definitely be eliminated in the end. Why do many students herd sheep once they enter college? Because universities generally adopt the credit system, it is difficult to have enough initiative without supervision.

"It's up to them, whether it's a dragon or a worm, it's up to them. When you enter this school, what you need is not to defeat the enemy, but to overcome yourself. Only by defeating oneself is defeating the enemy. Shi Bufan thought.

"Master, most of these international students are going to Chang'an to see everywhere and buy things everywhere. They were obviously fascinated by the flowery world of Chang'an, and even ...... Even ......" Ren Yaxiang was a little difficult to say.

"Or even what?" Shi Bufan asked.

"There are even people who go to prostitution...... "Ren Yaxiang replied.

Shi Bufan snorted coldly, this is the virtue of these guys.

"What about the Japanese people?" Shi Bufan asked.

"I have heard that they have made arrangements to act collectively. Even they supervise each other and supervise each other who does not study seriously. Master, I finally know why you are most worried about this Japanese country. I'm scared of this madness. Back then, in fact, even back then, I didn't work so hard. Ren Yaxiang said.

Shi Bufan nodded and said: "Putting aside national prejudices, in fact, the Wa Kingdom is a crazy nation. This is not a pejorative term, but a real spirit of perseverance without a purpose. ”

Shi Bufan remembered that before the reform of Japan's Dahua, those Japanese study gods in China had stayed for more than ten years, and when those old students who had studied abroad for 33 years returned to China, they sold all their wealth in China. What he brought back was not any gold, silver and jewelry, not all kinds of expensive souvenirs, but books. He exchanged all the wealth he had accumulated in China for thirty-three years, from the Sui Dynasty to the Tang Dynasty, into books.

From this point of view, it is not the time to praise the Japanese state, but it is really the vision and ideological realm of the Japanese country, which is more powerful than many other countries in East Asia. Others covet precious treasures, all kinds of precious luxuries. However, the Japanese people preferred to choose things that seemed to be of little value, that is, books. Their ideological realm is much more powerful than that of other East Asian countries, and they know that books are the carrier of knowledge, and knowledge is the hope of a strong nation. If there is no knowledge, all gold, silver, jewelry, and luxury goods are all empty and empty.

"It seems that we must urge, this Liu Renliang trains the navy as soon as possible, and he can't be slow!" Shi Bufan said again.

"Sure enough, it is a world of great controversy, if you look at it from the perspective of future generations, this world is actually dominated by the Tang family. But in fact, many of the nations that later Chinese civilization had a headache were brewed in this era. Japan in the East, and later made the Middle Tang Dynasty, the late Tang Dynasty, and even the Song Dynasty like the great enemy of Tibet. The Arab cannibals of the West competed for hegemony in the Western Regions during the Tang Dynasty. These peoples, who gave China a toothache for the future, began to rise in the early Tang Dynasty and began to undergo social transformation. ”

"Once they have completed the social transformation, they and China have entered a feudal society, so under the same social level, there will not be a big difference. Although we in China are one step ahead, it seems that we have a first-mover advantage. But they also have a late-mover advantage, and the late-mover advantage is also very difficult. Shi Bufan scratched his head and thought.

Ren Yaxiang said: "Master, in fact, I don't think you need to be too anxious, we are too far ahead of them in Huaxia, we are thousands of years!" What do we have to be afraid of? ”

"The advantages of thousands of years may not be great. A civilization is nothing for a thousand years. Especially their late-mover advantage, although we are one step ahead, but the late-mover advantage is also a big advantage. Shi Bufan said.

Ren Yaxiang shook his head and said, "But I know that the first strike is stronger!" ”

"Ren Yaxiang, you know what? It's like two people racing in an unknown place, even a place full of dangers. One person is ahead, but he must take the risk of finding a way for those who come after him. The frontrunner may look great, but it is also dangerous. They are in charge of finding their way, and whatever danger they encounter, they may have to face it alone, and the roots have no experience to follow. Even if it is not good for a while, it will face the result of being directly forced to quit halfway. ”

But the people behind can learn from the lessons of the people in front of them and avoid going the wrong way. In this way, although the person in front of him seems to be much ahead, he also has to take the risk of finding the way. Step by step, they will be forced to slow down. And those who come later have a reference and can get through these difficulties relatively easily. Maybe it takes ten times as long for the frontrunner to complete the path, but the latecomer is only a tenth of the time and cost to spend it, do you think that the latecomer will get closer and closer? ”

"The same is true of a civilization, and we Chinese people are certainly ahead. However, once they learn from our Chinese civilization, they may also follow in our footsteps. Once we have an accident, once we have an accident, they can quickly surpass it. This is not a fiction, but a real possibility. ”

Ren Yaxiang also had nothing to say, because this is very possible. Taking the first step may seem like an advantage, but if you are in a non-standard runway with no experience, and you don't even know what dangers are waiting, such an outcome will definitely create a lot of unknown risks. To be ahead, you must take the risk of pathfinding. Walking behind is temporarily behind, but it can be approached step by step, until in the end, it may only be a small difference. As for the people who are exploring the path in front, once one is not careful, they will be surpassed by the latecomers.

"I hope that in my lifetime, although I don't expect my Chinese civilization to rule the world, I will at least guarantee that there is only one country in East Asia, China, and only Chinese as the official language."

But Ren Yaxiang asked: "Master, since you know that the Japanese people are very dangerous, why do you still teach them?" Aren't you doing this to make an enemy? Actually, since you are worried about this Japanese country, there is no need to help them develop, and if you do this, then we will not be able to become a great trouble for us at that time? As long as we don't teach them, even if they want to change it, it will take more time, so that I can have more time to destroy them. ”

"Ren Yaxiang, you know what? Yes, I'm kind of an enemy, and I know that if I don't teach them, they'll develop more slowly. However, I think that it is very sad for a country and a civilization to be very sad if it does not have a real rival that can match itself. The ancient sages also said that being born with words and dying in peace is the same for a country, and the same is true for a civilization. We must be responsible for history and the long-term history of our Chinese nation. ”

"Although I may be suspicious of being an enemy, if I don't have a real opponent who can threaten me, then it will definitely slow down in the end. There is no development without threats, that's for sure. Even if I am an opponent, I must find a way to create an opponent, because we have to be responsible for history, born in sorrow and die in peace! ”

This one was born in sorrow and died in peace, and this is a true great wisdom. Don't talk about it far away, let's just say that Shi Bufan has watched all kinds of data in later generations. At a time when the United States and the Soviet Union were vying for hegemony, the development of science and technology, culture, and even all aspects was the most rapid. The Cold War may have brought a lot of suffering, but it was also the time when civilization developed at its most rapid. Once the Soviet Union collapsed, it was not an absolute good thing for the Americans, but because of the collapse of the Soviet Union, the entire development speed was reduced a lot. If there is no threat, if there is not enough threat, then in the end the development will inevitably be very slow.

If the times are extraordinary, from a long-term historical perspective, in fact, an invincible China is not necessarily a good thing. Because at that time, China will decay. Once the whole world is unified, it may be the day when Chinese civilization gradually declines, and even mankind becomes hopeless.

Because China in East Asia has not had enough enemies to match again and again, it has turned out to be internally strife and decay internally. A civilization that does not have enough enemies will eventually decay. Therefore, Shi Bufan believes that he is also responsible for history, even if there is no enemy, he must create an enemy. Although this is a bit risky to do, but where does the rainbow come from without experiencing wind and rain? Perhaps there will be a stage of temporary backwardness in Chinese civilization, but it will also have the motivation to be motivated and have the goal of catching up because of the enemy. But if there is no enemy, then the final self-decay is also the most terrible.

"It is far more difficult to defeat yourself than to defeat the enemy. Therefore, in order to be responsible for our China, in order to be responsible for China's history, we should appropriately fund the enemy and make China feel that there are nomadic people chasing after it, so that they can really feel the danger. Otherwise, the Chinese civilization will definitely 'die in peace.'" ”

It is precisely because of this mentality that although Shi Bufan has long planned to destroy Japan, he will also take the initiative to teach them. Because a completely invincible China will also decay in the end. There really aren't too many examples of dying in peace from history. From countries to enterprises to individuals, such results are really countless, and there is no opponent, and that is the greatest sorrow of a civilization.

Shi Bufan intends to create an opponent who has a certain threat, but he is not an opponent who can absolutely threaten. This even allows China to maintain the courage to keep progressing, and not to be forced to decay because there is no threat. Therefore, what Shi Bufan pursues is not to unify the whole world, because unifying the whole world is harmful to Chinese civilization. On the contrary, it is more beneficial for Chinese civilization to maintain an adversary with a suitable threat.

Because with an opponent, that is to defeat the enemy. And without an opponent, it is too difficult to defeat yourself. Victory comes, the enemy can't defeat himself, there are simply too many examples. Once China reaches its peak or even dominates the world, it may be the day of decay.

"We must be responsible for history and history, and that is why we must support the enemy. Proper support for the enemy will help maintain the driving force for the progress of civilization, and this is the responsibility for history. (To be continued.) )
