Looking at the businessmen in front of him who were excitedly discussing how their business would be convenient after the unification of the "barbarians" in the grassland, Xiao Mo really didn't know whether to cry or laugh for a while. WEnXUeMi.。! Surpass. Speed! More. new

The Chu Dynasty has been comfortable for too long, and for more than 170 years, except for the reign of Tian Xian, the Taizu of Chu, the biggest war was just a peasant uprising of more than 1,000 people.

The long period of comfort and peace made everyone forget the horror of war and the aggressiveness of the steppe peoples.

Xiao Mo clearly remembers that when he was still in school, a historian once said in a very vicissitudes of tone in class: "One of the main lines of Chinese history is the contradictions and wars between the farming people and the nomadic peoples. ”

After Xiao Mo came to this world, he read through history countless times, and he had a deep understanding of this sentence.

With the thousands of years of history of the Chinese nation, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a history of war between farming peoples and nomadic peoples.

With the alternation of the strength of two peoples with different cultures and customs, there have been countless wars over the past thousands of years.

The agrarian peoples themselves are less aggressive and not very obvious. And the nomadic peoples of history, as long as they are strong and unified, represent the beginning of the endless suffering of the farming peoples of the Central Plains.

The powerful Tang Dynasty, the prosperous Song Dynasty, and the powerful Ming Dynasty...... There have been too many powerful dynasties in history, which were destroyed under the trampling of the iron horses of the nomads.

Originally, during the Song Dynasty, the germ of Chinese capitalism had already begun to appear, and gradually began to grow over time.

Unfortunately, due to the strength of the Mongolian nation, while destroying the Song Dynasty, which was at its peak, it also destroyed the budding capitalism that had just emerged.

Such wars were not inevitable, if, at the time when the nomads were growing stronger, the agrarian peoples were stronger at the same time.

For example, during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, or during the period of Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty......

However, does the current Great Chu really have the strength to defeat the Northern Di clan?

Although Xiao Mo was just a commoner and didn't know the true strength of the Chu Dynasty, looking at the ease shown in the conversation and laughter of these businessmen in front of him, thinking of everyone's ignorance and contempt for the Di people in the north, as well as Xiao Mo's understanding of the Chu Dynasty over the years, the answer he got was not optimistic.

The Chu Dynasty seems to have flourished for a hundred years, but at the same time, the accumulation of various internal contradictions, the relaxation of military equipment, the emphasis on literature and light on military force in the whole society, the rotation of 39 that once made Chu Taizu Tian Xian proud all his life, and everyone's unpreparedness for war......

The most important thing is the difference in mentality.

As Qiu Hong said just now, when the Di people in the grassland often fight for a few acres of grassland and the fate of a few cattle and sheep, the people of Dachu are fighting for wealth, but they are fighting for power, but they are asking immortals for Taoism, but they are chanting poems......

This makes the nomads more adapted to war and more combative, and the most important thing is that once there is a war between the nomads and the farming peoples, the nomads fight for survival, while the farmers and herders are only for self-preservation.

At the beginning of Xiao Mo's crossing, after learning the news of the rise of the Di clan in the north, he had already vaguely guessed this day, but according to Xiao Mo's conjecture at that time, it would take at least twenty years for the fragmented Di clan to have the strength to threaten Great Chu.

But Xiao Mo didn't expect that just when he had gradually forgotten about this matter, unexpectedly, this day appeared in advance.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Just when Wu Gou, Qiu Hong and others were arguing about which restaurant Qiu Hong should be in after the reunification of the grassland, Xiao Mo was silent, and his face was a little ugly.

"Xiao Gongzi, what's wrong with you?"

As the master, Wu Gou keenly discovered Xiao Mo's abnormality and asked with concern.

Next to him, other big businessmen were also asking about it with flattery.

Xiao Mo took a deep breath and slowly exhaled it, his face finally returned to normal, knowing that it was just a waste of time and energy to publicize the threat of nomads to these businessmen who only knew how to seek profit and wealth, and even if Xiao Mo said it, these businessmen would not be convinced, so he just shook his head and smiled: "It's nothing, it's just that my body is suddenly a little uncomfortable, I'm afraid it's because I have been socializing too much these days, and my body is a little tired." ”

Without waiting for everyone to say anything, Xiao Mo had already stood up and apologized to Wu Gou: "Shopkeeper Wu, I'm really sorry, I suddenly feel unwell, I can't say that the younger generation is going to leave first, and I ask Shopkeeper Wu to forgive me." ”

Hearing Xiao Mo say this, all the businessmen at the banquet were full of regret, but it was not easy to keep them, so they could only get up together, hug Xiao Mo's side, and send Xiao Mo outside Wu Gou's mansion.

Before parting, Xiao Mo suddenly smiled at Qiu Hong and said, "Shopkeeper Qiu, I know that you are well-informed over there, and I am quite interested in the affairs of the grassland, can you find a way to help me find out?" ”

Qiu Hong was slightly stunned, not understanding why Xiao Mo was interested in the affairs of that barren land, but he still nodded and smiled: "As long as Xiao Gongzi wants to know, I will definitely try my best to find out for Gongzi, although the grassland is not very stable now, there are still many tribes that have a good relationship with me, and it is not a big deal to inquire about some news." ”

After Xiao Mo nodded, he said: "Please also ask Shopkeeper Qiu to try to find out as much as possible, the more detailed the better, in a few days, the younger generation will visit the senior's mansion." ”

Qiu Hong became more and more suspicious in his heart, but when he heard that Xiao Mo was going to visit him in person in a few days, he was quite flattered, and after looking around triumphantly, he nodded in agreement one after another.

Under the chorus of farewell from a group of big businessmen, Xiao Mosuo rode in a carriage, and under the control of Deng Shangquan, slowly drove towards Zhu Ruide's Mansion.

Sitting in the carriage, Xiao Mo's face was a little dazed.

Xiao Mo is cold by nature and does not have much sense of responsibility, even if he is forging ahead now, what he does is just for self-preservation, and he will never take it for granted to add any historical mission to himself.

But rather a peaceful dog, not a troubled world.

Although the Chu Dynasty now has one or another drawback, after all, it has been stable for a hundred years, so that Xiao Mo is obviously aware of the crisis, but he ignores it, and it is impossible to let the war appear when the Chu Dynasty is unprepared.

What's more, the current Chu Dynasty is quite similar to the Great Song Dynasty in another time and space, capitalism has sprouted, the status and strength of merchants have gradually improved, history is evolving towards its original laws, and Xiao Mo does not want the tragedy of the Song Dynasty to reappear.

But, even if he sensed the crisis, what could Xiao Mo do?

Don't look at Xiao Mo who has now made such a big name in Da Chu, he is recognized as a master of Confucianism, a top poet, a master of law, and a first talent, but if Xiao Mo says everything he thought of just now, not only will no one be convinced, but it will also make people in the world treat Xiao Mo as a fool.

At that time, Xiao Mo's reputation will be damaged, and it will even give people with intentions an excuse to attack Xiao Mo, destroying the good situation that Xiao Mo has created with great difficulty.

The people of the world have become accustomed to comfort, and they are all superstitious about the strength of Great Chu, in this case, they will not believe that the barbarians in the north will dare to provoke a war with Da Chu, let alone that Da Chu will be defeated by the barbarians in the war.

Even if one day, the facts begin to prove that what Xiao Mo said is correct, but what Xiao Mo is facing will not be a good thing.

Think about it, when Xiao Mo's prophecy came true, all the people who didn't believe what Xiao Mo said before were dumbfounded and blamed by the world, and repeatedly mentioned "Xiao Mo saw this back then, but you just don't believe it" Yunyun, what will these people think of Xiao Mo?

At that time, what Xiao Mo was facing was endless hatred and isolation.

Sometimes they make themselves too clever, but they make others fools, and they will only be hostile and even besieged by fools.

The human heart is unpredictable, and it has been like this since ancient times.

Or there will be clever people who believe what Xiao Mo said, but history proves that clever people often only account for a very small number of people in the world.

"What should I do?"

Xiao Mo half-snuggled in the carriage and muttered to himself.

After a moment, Xiao Mo shook his head and muttered again, "What can I do?" ”
