Chapter 272
After a while, Duan Yanqing walked back with a bag of silk, followed by two beggar disciples, but the beggar disciples were holding a high wooden frame.
At Lin Tian's signal, Duan Yanqing opened the silk and hung it on a wooden frame. Everyone recognized it at once, and the silk was painted on nothing else, but a map of the Great Song Dynasty and surrounding countries. However, the painting is very simple, just some outlines of the territory, and the location of the imperial city of a country.
For a long time, the surroundings of the Great Song Dynasty, whether it was the court or the people, the rivers and lakes, focused on the Western Xia in the west and the Great Liao in the north, after all, the dark history of the Han people was caused by these foreign barbarians.
If it is not within my people, its heart will be different! …… This sentence has a huge market at this time, even to the point of being extreme.
In the original book, Qiao Feng, the leader of the beggar gang, is a hero of the generation and has made great contributions to the beggar gang, but what is the result? After a turmoil in the apricot forest, as soon as the Khitan identity was exposed, pay attention to that time, his foreign identity has not yet been confirmed! was kicked out of the beggars. It doesn't matter if you don't take any credit for the past. Even just because Qiao Feng is a Khitan, there are a large number of masters on the rivers and lakes who want to kill him and become famous, of course, they all have the same set of rhetoric: eradicate the thief!
Qiao Feng later went to Daliao to serve as the king of the Southern Courtyard, although he had his own experience, at that time Ah Zi was seriously injured and his life was in danger, and he had to rely on ginseng to hang his life. But the deeper reason is because of where he grew up...... Da Song can't tolerate him anymore, and he has become a street rat.
Lin Tian even had the mentality of the characters in the rivers and lakes of this era, so on his map, the sixteen states of Yanyun were also clearly marked, but he was included in the territory of Da Liao. Sure enough, in response to this phenomenon, those heroes in the rivers and lakes couldn't help but be angry, scolding the Khitan miscellaneous bandits...... For a while, saliva was flying all over the sky, and even Qiao Feng's face was flushed, obviously excited to hear it. Lin Tian couldn't help but shake his head secretly, and said in his heart: Qiao Daxia, Qiao Daxia, don't you know, you are actually a Khitan baby!
After everyone scolded for a while, the old man stepped forward, stood in front of Lin Tian, pointed to the sixteen states of Yanyun, his face was angry, with a reproachful tone, and asked: "It's just that why did the lord of the Lin Sect draw the sixteen states of Yanyun to the Khitan barbarians?" This is the place for us Han people! It's ours! The barbarians just relied on the ferocity of the cavalry and forcibly occupied it, but this place does not belong to them! ”
Lin Tian looked at this old man with an angry look, not at all surprised, in fact, the older the person, the stronger the hatred for the alien race, on the contrary, the younger the person, living in a relatively peaceful period, has not experienced war, has not seen the cruelty and ferocity of the alien race, but the hatred is much less.
In the ruling area of the Great Liao, there are also descendants of the Han people, but these Han people only have the blood of the Han people in their blood, and in terms of actual ideology, they have long been different.
The population of the Khitan people is not large, and in the vast northern region, changes are scarce, so in the conquest battles before the founding of the People's Republic of China, the Great Liao often killed all the men and old people who occupied it, and only those under the very high chariot could survive. Of course, Han women, as a tool that could reproduce the Khitans, survived.
The people of the Great Song Dynasty actually despise and hate the Han people in the Great Liao, thinking that they have forgotten their ancestors and are inferior to pigs and dogs......
It is worth mentioning that most of the people who hold this view are the people within the power of the northern scholars. In the south, especially in the cities where commercial activities are very prosperous, the people are very understanding of them and do not condemn them.
This is probably the manifestation of a set of rules in the world of capital to the common people. In the world of capital, big fish swallow small fish, and if you don't want to be swallowed, you can only choose to surrender.
Of course, if some ambitious people say, "I don't want to be swallowed up, I don't want to surrender!" Then his fate will be miserable, because the big fish will not allow such disobedient and rule-breaking small fish to exist.
I often hear a critical word to describe a loser: ambitious and talented. In fact, their failure is not because they have empty ambitions and no talents. On the contrary, a person will only develop great ambitions when he or she has excellent talents. And people who don't have talent don't have any great ambitions at all. Because talent is the foundation of ambition.
However, in terms of political philosophy, for example, if a political ambition does not conform to the social rules of the time, then the person who has such an ambition will actually have to bear the oppression of the whole society, and his tragedy is doomed. Their defeat stems from their conceit, from their inadequate intentions to wage war against universal rules in their own personal strength.
Of course, there are very few who will grow up in adversity and become the leader of a new era, but this kind of legendary figure is quite rare, their names may be familiar, but those countless anonymous people who are crushed to death by reality are the fate of the common people.
Hey, people, if you don't want to be crushed to death, then you obey. If you feel pain, please numb your nerves.
The more prosperous the business, the more fierce the competition, and the people in this environment are more able to understand the cruelty of reality! Commercial competition, either annexed or annexed, won or lost, or both sides lost, truce, and fight again in the coming day, just like the battlefield, is not a place that pays attention to "gentleness, courtesy, and frugality".
The common people have become philistines in this environment, and the typical character of small citizens has gradually been raised. In fact, they can't be blamed for this, the general trend is so, and they can only choose to follow the general trend.
Of course, this kind of character can't be said to be bad, and there is no such absolute whether it is good or bad. Businessmen are of course realistic, for the sake of their own interests, they will disregard the interests of the country, and even do things that defect to the enemy and betray the country, which is morally and legally a sinner of the country and the nation, and a traitorous act, but in their own self, they only regard such behavior as a commercial behavior: the party that can bring benefits to themselves by investing.
But at the same time, the other side of the businessman is also extremely aggressive. For the sake of their own interests, they may disregard family affection in the family, and in the nation-state, they may ignore the general righteousness, and as long as the interests are attractive enough, their relatives and friends can be betrayed, and even the state and the nation. But once they find that they have great interests in other countries, and there is great resistance within other countries, they will consciously unite, integrate their own forces, and work together to conquer ......
At the beginning, the Eight-Nation Coalition powers divided China, and although they had internal contradictions, they only distributed the spoils unevenly. Their attitude towards the Chinese government at that time was unified and consistent.
