Chapter 445: The War Begins (17)
"You don't know, do you? Let me explain, because we Han people practice civilization and set up all kinds of conditions that allow us to live in peace. These conditions include manners, laws, and morals. Although you Turks may be very disdainful of these moral laws and other rules, you just think that these are the incompetence of our Han Chinese. But have you ever thought about it, you are on the grassland, everything is respected by the strong, and the strong can wantonly loot ordinary herdsmen, and then take all the herdsmen's things for themselves. ”
"And in this way, your so-called strong people will continue to gain a rich life by devouring those herdsmen who are not as good as you. This is also the law of survival on your grassland, and your laws are maintained by violence, and once you lose violence, you will be swallowed by others. ”
Obsessed with Sili asked again, "Is there anything wrong with this?" Isn't that how it should be? I think that many of you Han people are also like this, and they exploit ordinary people. ”
"But the gap is big, and there is no courtesy, righteousness and shame in the exploitation of your grassland, and every time it is solved by killing. You may be cruel to us Han Chinese, but you are also cruel to your own, and every plunder ends in the death of one of you. But we Han people are different, we Han people are relatively moral, even if they exploit the people in law, even if they plunder what they need, they are all people who leave a line, and rarely completely force others to death. Because we have civilization, it's not like you're all a bunch of beasts. This is also the living conditions of our civilized people, which can protect the vast majority of people as much as possible. And you are killing each other. Do you understand what I mean? Chen Fei said.
"Shouldn't it? The weak deserve to die! Obsessiveness immediately shouted.
Chen Fei snorted coldly: "No wonder so many of you nomads have perished, you all think so?" You think in your hearts that the weak deserve to die, and that is why you keep perishing. And we Han Chinese. The establishment of legal morality and etiquette can protect the weak to a great extent, and prevent the strong from wantonly killing the weak, so that the vast majority of the weak can survive. You should also know that the strong are strong because they are above the weak. If you kill all the weak, then is it necessary for your so-called strong to exist? The civilization of our Han people can allow more weak people to survive. We can continue to strengthen our national strength. And you Turks and other nomads will only kill each other, and you will not be able to protect the weak. Sympathize with the weak. And your order still exists in the mode of the beast, relying on the method of the jungle to survive. So you do everything for your own benefit, and never think about the whole nation as a whole. So. You will never learn this way of working together. You are all born to defend your own interests. There is no corresponding civilization to safeguard the interests of the collective and the whole nation, so you simply cannot learn. ”
Everyone somewhat understood why Chen Fei said that the Turks could not learn this cavalry method. In fact, they simply cannot comprehend the unity of the entire national collective, and they are all people who rely on sacrificing others to gain benefits for themselves.
In the hearts of these Turks, each of them is full of calculations, and at any time they want others to sacrifice and then let themselves live. The Turks have always been selfish. A group of selfish people cannot be brought together as a huge whole to fight. Even the later Mongols. Even if they can almost sweep the world, they are all dependent on profit to survive. Because the Mongols plundered the wealth, and then allowed their bandit group to maintain the bond of interests. But then the Mongols stopped plundering, and their nation was completely divided. Judging from the original history, the Mongols were not really a nation, at least not a nation before the Ming Dynasty, they just had tribes. The reason why they were able to fight together was nothing more than the attraction of interests.
And this is the advantage of civilized people, who have corresponding morality, law, and the idea of unity. Only with civilization can human beings strive for the collective, and not fall apart for their own selfish interests. It is impossible for the Turks to have a corresponding civilization, they are all fighting for profit in their bones. Once they encounter danger, their first thought is to let others die for them, rather than sacrificing themselves to protect their comrades. So even if the Turks learned this kind of cavalry wall charge, if they encountered danger, they first wanted to take care of themselves, and then gain merit for themselves. Even if they kill the enemy together, the first thing they think about is to kill themselves, not to give it to others. And none of them will have the courage to give their backs to their comrades, they will not learn to trust at all.
Don't look at it as just a wall charge, but there are too many civilization factors condensed in it. Although this tactic was invented by the West, when Westerners invented it, they also had their own national culture, so they were able to use this tactic. If a country does not have its own national cultural beliefs, then this tactic will definitely fail, because they simply cannot twist a group of people without any cohesion into a rope.
"You know what? Don't look at it as just a wall charge, but there is great wisdom in it. And this cavalry can be said to be the embodiment of our Chinese national spirit and represents order. And why should human beings have order, it is for everyone to survive better, so that more people can survive. But they, the Turks, want their own selfish interests, and they do not show mercy when they kill their own compatriots for their own selfish interests. But their whole nation also thinks so, and thinks that it is reasonable for the strong to kill the weak, how terrible is this! Thus they are doomed to destroy themselves. Although we Han people seem to be relatively weak, we rely on our civilization to keep everyone alive as much as possible. As long as someone can survive, there is still a basis for survival. The Turks have no concept of sacrificing themselves or sacrificing their lives for the country and the nation, they think it is all naked personal self-interest, so do you think they can learn? Chen Fei snorted. (To be continued......)
