Research on Zhao Jin, Taizu of the Han Dynasty (5) (Complete, with Reflections and New Book Plans)

Previous Chapter

Almost all articles that study Zhao Jin's mental journey will eventually become a display of Zhao Jin's successful deeds, and this article seems to be vulgar.

A ten-year-old boy, a frightened ten-year-old boy, who only grew up in the poor and remote city of Xuzhou, did not leave the few streets where he lived, his father and uncle had a limited education, and he was biased towards professional soldiers, how could Zhao Jin have a later vision?

Many people attribute the reason to Wang Youshan, the father of Wang Zhaojing, the chief Wenchen of the Han Empire, Wang Youshan is a Jinshi of the Ming Empire, and has done imperial history, and is the upper-class intellectual of the Ming Empire, which seems to be the only reason.

According to the memories of Wang Youshan's former colleagues in the Ming Empire, Wang Youshan was an upright person, but like many upper-class intellectuals at that time, he was very loyal to the Ming Empire, and in that era, there was no reason for disloyalty.

A beneficiary of the civil official system of the Ming Empire will not have any special impact on Zhao Jin in any case, and judging from Zhao Jin's growth process, he regarded the Ming Empire as an antagonist very early on, or in the words of some literary and artistic works, the Ming Empire as a prey.

In recent years, another argument has emerged, they portray Zhao Jin's parents, that is, Zhao Zhentang and Zhao Zhenxing, as victims of the hereditary system of military generals in the Ming Empire.

In this long and wonderful career, Zhao Zhenxing has accumulated enough knowledge, perhaps formed his own judgment, and he taught these to Zhao Jin, and also influenced Chen Sheng, Wang Zhaojing and others who learned from him with Zhao Jin, and laid the ideological foundation of the founding fathers of the Han Empire.

This argument seems reasonable, in fact, the elements of the legend are quite heavy, a professional soldier with a low status, no matter how clear-minded, it is unlikely to form such a systematic understanding, according to the study of the Ming Emperor's ** world, Zhao Zhenxing educates Zhao Jin and others to be loyal and patriotic.

We have to note one thing, Zhao Jin had already seized the Ming Empire when he was in his thirties, and then it was a never-ending expansion, from land to sea, the Han Empire's desire for territory and ports surpassed any era in the Chinese world, and even surpassed the Mengyuan Empire, and the Han Empire was so mercantile and profitable, he encouraged his people to occupy the land outside of China, encouraged his people to earn profits, and used the huge fleet and merchant fleet that came from behind to buy and sell all over the world, and destroy the local industry, Earn local everything worth earning.

This kind of expansion and heavy profits are different from any era in the Chinese world, Wang Youshan and Zhao Zhenxing may be well-informed and knowledgeable compared to their peers of the same era, but how can they have such insights and opinions.

We should believe that there are geniuses in this world, who accept new knowledge faster than others, and also generate their own judgments and innovate faster than others.

Some geniuses are proud of their talents, some higher-level geniuses can lead other geniuses forward, and those who are unique in ten thousand exist to establish rules and create a new era, Zhao Jin may be such a genius.

After laying out so many deeds, so many analyses, and finally coming to such a conclusion, the inferences and analyses themselves feel absurd, but the truth can only be so.

It is true that people are the same, but some people are indeed stronger than others, physically speaking, intellectually, and even by luck, surpassing their contemporaries, who may be far away from us, but in terms of probability, they may be our neighbors.

Speaking of which, I think of the theories of reincarnation or divine grant propagated by some religious groups, but what we also see is that from the beginning of the founding of the Han Empire, even though the second empress had a strong religious background, the overall religious policy of the Han Empire was a very strong atheism, which could exist legally, but only the legal existence of church organizations was Buddhism, Taoism and Chinese Protestantism (the improved Wenxiang Religion), and other religions were severely and even cruelly attacked. Even when people from Europe had their place under the Han Empire, their beliefs were strictly confined to the family, and even the few churches that legally existed were closely monitored and heavily taxed.

If Zhao Jin and his family were any of the kind propagated by underground public opinion, they would not have such an attitude towards religious beliefs.

By now, we can conclude that Zhao Jin's great ambition may have been formed very early, but there is no possibility of any apocalypse, he is just a genius boy under the influence of his elders and peers, and in the analysis of the real environment, we can accept some of the Jesuit remarks about the adoption of new technologies, that is, there were secret Western preachers who went to Xuzhou, and Zhao Jin had contact with them and learned about the world outside China, after all, Zhao Jin's forces had a tradition of kidnapping missionaries and European professional technicians

It's time for us to conclude that Zhao Jin and his empire are great luck for everyone in the Chinese world, but for those outside the Chinese world, it is sad.
