Chapter 1042: Once Upon a Time in Greece
"Many of those aliens are not ignorant natives, they know how to read and write, and they have a good spiritual quality."
"You're talking about the Greek city-states, right?"
"Hmm. I observed for more than half a month, and found some characteristics of the Central Asian side, even if they were still the same slaves, the Greeks seemed to be in a leading position. ”
The Greeks have been strong for hundreds of years, reaching their peak after the accession of Alexander to the throne of Macedon, and since then the culture of the Greeks has represented the Mediterranean, and the Greeks have become the most noble people in their range.
After Alexander's expedition to the east and west, and defeating Darius of Persia, there was no rival around the Mediterranean. In order to increase the influence of Greek culture, he designed the drachma currency to make it a circulating currency in the sea of earth.
Alexander once said, "If you want to conquer people's hearts, conquer their pockets first", and the advent of drachmas soon added gold money to the silver variety.
Under Alexander's strong military power and deliberate coercion, the drachma immediately became the currency used by the most city-states in the Mediterranean, because the drachmas that Alexander urged to mint were of good quality, and the drachmas were quickly put into circulation.
"So ......" Huang Ye thought with a face: "We will find an idea that mastering currency is equivalent to mastering the economy." The Macedonian named Alexander, who conquered the Greek city-states with currency before he began his crusade. ”
Huang Ye's process of knowing this is rather strange, he is preaching the long history of the Chinese nation to some Greek slaves, and then telling the glory of the long history.
Before 206 B.C., was there a glorious period in Chinese history? If it were from the war between the Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor and the Yan Emperor, and from the Yan and Huang Emperors to jointly wage war against Jiuli Chiyou, the Chinese civilization would seem to be ...... Seem...... It's true...... It has a glorious history.
The Greek slaves had a sense of absurdity when they heard Huang Ye's history in the pre-Qin period of ancient times, which was not funny about Chinese history. It's because the history of the ancient pre-Qin period recorded by Confucianism (probably written) doesn't sound like history, but more like a kind of utopian novel, with absolutely no flaws in any leader.
"Our leaders are not perfect, and even our gods are not perfect. They are great and at the same time closer to the facts. "The most glorious period of the life of the Greek named Sherrianto was as a lord, and the Greek local lords were actually nobles, but they were the lowest nobles. To be a nobleman, you don't necessarily need to be educated, but he is a person with a certain amount of culture, so he has read relevant literature. "Our greatest emperor, Alexander, was a bisexual man, but that didn't stop him from writing a glorious chapter in history," he said.
What is a bisexual person? Huang Ye quickly figured out what it was. He was not surprised by the so-called bisexuals, and many of the nobles in China were actually bisexuals, and many of them not only had homosexual pedophilia, but also did not prevent them from marrying wives and having children. He was more interested in what Sherrianto said about what the emperor Alexander had done.
"That's going to be a long story......" Sherianto was full of emotion and nostalgia. He said: "The story begins with Philip II......
Huang Ye has time, and he also knows that if he wants to achieve his goal, he can't help but understand the history of aliens.
Philip II was the father of Alexander and the king of Macedonia, at a time when the Greek city-states were intricate and conflicting with each other.
Alexander's father, Philip II, was a man of skill, who used diplomacy, monetary inducements, and military offenses to meddle in Greek affairs. After a long period of hard work, the specific laws of the Greek parliament ~ are also destined to be a little. That is, as long as you are willing to spend money, it is simply an invincible thing, and Philip II spent a lot of money to buy one so-called dollar after another. Then he used military means to subdue the disobedient city-states, and finally established hegemony over Greece in 337 BC.
Philip II, who established the hegemony of Greece, knew very well that the long division had made it difficult for Greece to become a whole again, and that it was necessary to find an opponent with sufficient weight and historical entanglements to make Greece a whole again, and he knew very well who the whole of Greece hated the most, so he convened a state assembly in Corinth. He declared a cessation of war between the states, established a Pan-Greek Alexander Crusade League with him as its leader, and decided to declare war on Persia under the pretext of "revenge".
Revenge? What kind of revenge is it? It is not enough to talk about the invasion of Greece by Darius the Persian Darius I, but to talk about the threat of Persia to the Greek city-states, and it is necessary to unite to fight against Persia.
"Actually, Philip II's intentions were wrong from the beginning. At that time, the city-states had a great hatred for each other, and who cared that the bard sang about a hundred and fifty years ago? ”
"Huh? Minstrel??? ”
"Oh, forget that you don't have that profession on your side. It was a poet who made a living by writing songs and performing on various occasions, and they usually needed to have a good face and a good voice. They not only sing history, but also compose a variety of poems according to the requirements of customers, and sing well to win the favor of the noble lady, and it is the dream of every bard to stay with the noble lady overnight. ”
"What!? The noble daughter of a noble family, go and ...... with a servant who sells her art Tenderness? ”
"So our culture is different. On our side, you can indulge as long as you like it. ”
"It's incredible!"
"What's there? As long as there is no prerequisite for marriage, youth is always short-lived, and it can make each other happy, and there is no more romantic and real feeling than that. ”
At that moment, Huang Ye's mind was a little confused, not that he felt that it was incredible, ******** or something, it was not that kind of situation did not exist on this side of the land of China, it should be said that it was relatively common.
Huang Ye felt incredible, how could the young lady of the aristocratic family be like that! The people who will do that kind of thing should be ordinary people, and they should not appear on the noble lady, and even if the noble lady wants to find a **** object, how can she find a man who matches her identity, how can she find an extremely lowly servant!
The real situation is that the two are happy on the land of China. It's really very common to find a place******** like Confucius is the "crystallization" of a kind of "wild cooperation". Sima Qian wrote in the historical record 'The Seventeenth Family of Confucius': Shu Liang Su and Yan's female field joined together to give birth to Confucius. Pray to Nichud Confucius. Lu Xianggong was born in the twenty-second year of Confucius, and was born on the top of the polder, so because of the name Qiu, the word Zhongni, and the surname Kong.
It's not just Confucius, his father and mother will be like this. A lot of people will be like that, so the general public in society really won't blame anything because of "wild cooperation". What changed this phenomenon was with the progress of society, but that was also during the Eastern Han Dynasty, when Confucianism was in power.
Confucius, the founder of Confucianism, was born in "Yehe", but it is not so clear why later Confucianism would reject "Yehe" so much.
Although he felt very incredible and surprised, but after hearing Xue Lianto say a few real examples that happened in Greece, Huang Ye couldn't help but feel a sense of envy, and he couldn't help but have a sense of envy with someone's noble lady or something.
Of course, Huang Ye thinks so. If he had a relationship with a lady from a noble family, it could never be just a physical relationship, but a real union. As for him, he will also develop by becoming the son-in-law of a noble family, so that he can realize his dreams more advantageously.
"Actually, not only the ladies of aristocratic families, but also the queens of Greece can also meet people."
“……”
"Don't you believe it? Philip II's wife is said to have had a long-term lover, so Philip II suspected that Alexander was not his own son. ”
"Really...... Is...... Incomprehensible! ”
"yes, incomprehensible. However, Philip II did not strangle Alexander in infancy after all, otherwise there would be no such glory in the future. ”
Huang Ye found it incomprehensible how a queen could go to find a lover. What is even more incomprehensible is that Philip II knew that his queen was looking for a lover and did not kill the pair of adulterers ****, but simply imprisoned his queen, and it seems that he has not found out who the queen's lover is.
It was almost time to reach the county seat, and the group of people paused temporarily.
Due to the empire's emphasis on transportation, the roads in the prefecture have actually been improved in recent years, but only the original roads have been simply repaired. And it didn't expand.
They stopped on the side of the road, and some people from various towns who came to the county seat to do business would take a few glances when they passed by, because the clothes on Sherianto and the others were too conspicuous, and it was really special for two scribes and two soldiers to be in the same place with a group of strangely dressed and strange-looking people.
"Did Alexander get the throne in the end?"
"Well, yes. Philip II was assassinated, and as the first in line to the throne, Alexander would rightfully succeed to the throne. ”
Li Qi also wondered, since Philip II suspected that Alexander was not his own son, and had done a vigorous investigation, and even imprisoned his own queen, wouldn't it mean that the whole kingdom knew about it? He listened carefully, and Philip II did not have more than one son in Alexander.
"The people on their side really think differently from us." Li Qi said to Huang Ye with a confused expression: "It's okay if you don't kill the queen, that Philip II didn't cancel Alexander's inheritance." ”
Huang Ye nodded, Greece is indeed a strange-looking civilization, both in terms of thinking and universal values, which are incompatible with Chinese civilization.
"They worship what they think is a great king, but they don't shy away from it." What Li Qi is talking about is that when Xue Liantuo talks to outsiders about people he thinks is great, he dares to say anything.
Huang Ye is also a little confused.
Indeed, when Sherrianto was telling that period of history, some of the slaves who knew what had happened were the same attitude. What attitude? It's a group of people who almost verbally attack their own great people, and then don't prevent them from having a feeling of worship.
Li Qi shook his head and said, "It's so contradictory, it's so incomprehensible." ”
Here in China, a great man will never have any flaws, even if there are flaws, they should be covered up, and flaws should not be allowed to affect the brilliance of the great man, otherwise it will be a kind of disrespect. The result? It is a great man of Chinese civilization who is usually very less like a living person, more like a perfect god.
The gods weren't perfect in Greek culture either, and Sherrianto had just talked a little about their beliefs, and that was the Olympic gods.
"Oh my God! What kind of chief god is Zeus, who is called Zeus, ...... I even thought about sleeping with my daughter day and night!? Li Qi was so surprised that his mouth grew up: "Then, their gods will often appear, go to the human world to **** women, and give birth to half-human and half-god creatures." These creatures of demigods, who are constantly in conflict with the Olympic gods? ”
"Athena, the goddess of wisdom and war, who combines wisdom and beauty." Sherionto grinned and said, "That is the goddess of dreams in all Greece, and the Athenians are willing to shed their last drop of blood for her." ”
"It's this Athena, the demigod she helps the most?" Huang Ye felt like he was going to go insane. He hesitated and said, "It's not that I can't understand it. Her father wants to **** with her day and night, and she helps some people to go against them, probably because she can't be angry, right? ”
"I can imagine that you can't understand our gods." Schoriantto felt compelled to explain, saying, "It is not a shame for Zeus to want Athena. In our culture, anything beautiful should have the desire to occupy ~ hope in order to support her beauty. In addition, the life of the gods is unimaginable, and many times things that seem incomprehensible to us mortals may be a small game between the gods. ”
"Your gods, the way of playing is truly unique." A soldier in charge of the guard, he did not hide his contempt at all: "No wonder you don't think that it is against humanity to fall in love with a mother and son or a father and daughter to fall in love. ”
"No, it's not what you say." Sherrianto explained seriously: "We don't advocate that kind of behavior, we just think that no one can restrain anyone's mind, especially that thought does not cause harm to others. ”
The soldier was stunned, smiled and said nothing. He realized that these messy aliens had nothing to do with any amount of fucking things, and it was better to have fun.
"Freedom of thought?" Huang Ye has been a long acquaintance recently, the more he comes into contact with more alien races, and he knows more about the history or ideas of foreign races, which is really unacceptable at first, but usually there is nothing to learn from when he thinks about it......
