Chapter 855 Vanishing Shanhaiguan
That's right. Along the way, Zhao Xing really plans to tear off this landmark building that may become the spiritual imprint of the Chinese nation in the future!
Because he felt that it would be better to leave a spiritual wall symbolizing retreat and forbearance to future generations, and to jam the footsteps of the Han people heading north into the Great Wall, it would be better to completely erase such a cowardly mark from the earth, and display his own sculpture of "prancing horse wielding a spear" in various territories!
Facts have proved that the Great Wall, which has been repeatedly repaired by later generations and relied on as a safety line, has never really been able to withstand the jackals, tigers and leopards in the north, and the greatest value of its existence is to provide a little comfort to those in power. It's like a eunuch without a "second child", and when he sees all the soft stick-like objects, he will feel some kind and familiar flavor in them.
Zhao Xing has been asking himself, why should he educate his children and grandchildren to be "filial sons and grandsons" who are safe and defend themselves, but he can't educate his children and grandchildren to be promising people who are flying and enterprising, and expanding their territory?
In the final analysis, it is still the people who are grandfathers and Lao Tzu who want to pass on their inheritance from generation to generation, and want to set all the rules and systems in a big way without changing them! And this kind of conservative, selfish, and arbitrary, coupled with the terrible idea of infinite self-palace, has always become a stumbling block hindering Huaxia Shenzhou from reaching glory and peak!
Zhao Xing's idea is very simple, that is, to demolish the Great Wall, and from then on make the northern desert the back garden and horse farm of the Han Empire, so that his descendants will be proud of having guarded and patrolled the northern desert for generations!
Taking 10,000 steps back, even if a stronger country will rise in the north in the future, and may challenge the backward and unenterprising countries in the south, without this artificial wall blockage, it can also make the countries in the south have less time to resist and end the unbearable era as soon as possible.
In Zhao Xing's view, as long as it is not for the foreign culture to occupy and rule the land of Shenzhou, whether it is from the south to the north, or from the north to the south, it is not a problem. The eliminated side has its own reason to be destroyed, and why should the innocent people serve as pawns and cannon fodder for the ignorant and incompetent rulers?
Turning over the history of the two Song Dynasty, it is full of humiliation and unwillingness, and it is often seen that the northern nomadic tribes with backward productive forces have flourished, and the Great Song Dynasty has been beaten to the point that the nose and face are swollen. The Liao, Xixia, Jin, Yuan, Khitan, Dangxiang, Jurchen, and Mongols are far inferior to the long-standing Great Song Dynasty when it comes to cultural inheritance, and they are not even one-tenth of their economic strength, but they can ravage the Song Dynasty one after another, forcing the Song Dynasty to sign an alliance under the city again and again, forcing the Song Dynasty to cede land and sue for peace again and again, and claiming to be the emperor!
Then turn over the history of the rise of the Ming Dynasty, full of resistance and unyielding, often see the Han army infantry will Genghis Khan's descendants to the head of the rat, even if into the northern desert is not thorough enough, Ming Chengzu Zhu Di is every once in a while to lead the army into the north to patrol a look, at every turn to find a reason and excuse to start a war with the Mongols, and finally died on the road back to Beijing in the sixth northern expedition!
Later, Zhu Di's descendants began to build the Great Wall again, that is, later generations saw the Great Wall of the Ming Dynasty, but sadly, this time the Great Wall still did not stop the relatively backward Manchurians and horses from stepping on the Central Plains!
Why is that?
Zhao Xing walked all the way north along the Great Wall, thinking hard but not sure the final answer. And what he is doing now is to remove this potential crisis at its root.
Since crises have repeatedly come from the north, then I will eliminate and sinicize all the foreign nationalities in the north! This is Zhao Xing's most unreasonable idea.
Lao Tzu asked people to lead troops all the way to the Arctic Circle, clean up the primitive and ancient alien races such as Jiankun, Ding Ling, and Su Shen in the north, let people bring polar bears back to the zoo to watch, and let people go to the Arctic for generations to explore and inspect, and see where you still emerge from a group of wild people and miscellaneous hairs who can kill me in China!
Zhao Xing's team finally left Daqingshan and continued eastward, crossing the pass of the Great Wall for the third time and arriving at Yuyang City, the capital of Youzhou.
Seeing the old Mr. Sima Zhi of Youzhou who was over sixty years old and had white hair because of hard work, Zhao Xing's heart touched a lot.
Although he accepts traditional Confucianism, he abides by the bottom line of being a man and doing things, and always puts the well-being and well-being of the people in his heart. Back then, if it weren't for Zhao Xing's timely help, Sima Zhi might have been forced by the dim-witted court to hang himself because he had no money to buy officials. But even so, Sima Zhi would not turn his head and stretch out his dirty hand to the people under his rule like other corrupt officials.
Because of this, Zhao Xing has always paid attention to Sima Zhi's physical health problems, and every year Hua Tuo or Zhang Ji has to personally diagnose and regulate the old man, for fear that this good official who is the master of the people "A good man will not live long".
In Sima Zhi's mansion, the spirited old gentleman asked Zhao Xing with some puzzlement: "Guochang, I recently received a notice that you personally requested that all the Great Wall in the north be demolished and that the demolished stones be used for water conservancy construction?"
Zhao Xing nodded and replied, "This is indeed the case! ”
As Zhao Xing carefully explained his national strategy to Sima Zhi, Sima Zhi finally showed an expression of understanding and support. After all, Lao Zhou Mu has been in politics for decades and has a vision and judgment that ordinary people can't match, and he knows that Zhao Xing's method is much more resolute and thorough than hiding in the fortress and passively defending. If Zhao Xing can live to be 70 or 80 years old, then in the next 3 to 40 years, two generations of successors of the Han Dynasty who are deeply influenced by Zhao Xing will pour into the northern desert, and at that time, the northern desert will really become the back garden of the Han people.
Youzhou's policy basically kept pace with the Jin State, because the two places were close to each other, whether it was in terms of government decrees, news dissemination or official transfers, they were very timely, so Zhao Xing did not stay in Yuyang for long, and after two days, he set off to the east, heading straight to Shanhaiguan (originally named Linyu Pass by Gongsun Du), which had been renamed.
After everyone was greeted by Lu Xiang, the blue wolf army who came to meet them, in the west of Shanhaiguan, Zhao Xing and a few others looked at Shanhaiguan that had disappeared in the distance, and couldn't help but be stunned.
Everyone often heard Zhao Xing talk about how majestic Shanhaiguan is along the way, and their hearts were full of yearning and curiosity, but before they really came to Shanhaiguan, they found that there were crowds of people here, and they were dismantling the stones and bricks on Shanhaiguan, preparing to transport them to the Daliao River outside Zhengyang City to build a big wharf!
Zhao Xing asked Lu Xiang with some confusion: "What kind of trouble is this? Why did Shanhaiguan even dismantle?"
Lu Xiang has been following Zhao Xing for a long time, and he is not worried that telling the truth will make Zhao Xing feel embarrassed. He smiled, and then said, "Lord, have you forgotten that you personally gave the order to demolish Shanhaiguan!"
Zhao Xing suddenly realized that the feeling of Shanhaiguan originally belonged to a part of the Great Wall defense system, he asked Li Ru to inform all places to demolish the Great Wall for other purposes, his precious son is in the northeast, he must be the first time to respond positively, and he will also dismantle Shanhaiguan with his hands and feet!
Zhao Xing took a deep breath and said loudly at the Shanhaiguan Pass, where only the pedestal was left in the distance: "It's been demolished so well! From now on, the Northeast Land will no longer have anything to do with the inside and outside of the customs, regardless of the distance between each other, all of them are the territory of my Han Dynasty!"
