Jeanne's point of view made everyone a little confused for a while. There is no way, even if a well-informed person like Monk Daoyan is probably the first time he has heard of this theory.

"If you say that, it's not impossible......" Guo Kang started the round.

"Sometimes you don't have to dwell too definitions. Really, how many civilizations in the world have never been barbarians? Isn't the history of civilization more than 2,000 years old for the Persians? It was the same before, and it was the same as before, and it was annexed to the Medes, and then it was widened. All the way to the present, except for the Central Plains, I can't think of a second one. ”

"So in the end, 'barbarian' should be more of a relative concept." He simply took himself as an example and comforted: "If I have to say it, I am a barbarian myself." My family also ran out of the Central Plains and settled here for several generations. In real terms, what is the difference between it and legends like Taber and Chunwei? It's better for them to be 'civilized'. ”

"I just think they're too concerned about these issues." Xiao Jeanna said dissatisfiedly: "I am entangled there every day about who is a barbarian, and in the end, even my relatives are counted as barbarians." ”

"Well, that's not much." Guo Kang comforted: "The system of Zhuxia - Barbarians was proposed by Zhou Tianzi. But Zhou Tianzi himself took the lead in not abiding by the defense of Yixia, married Rong Di every day, and was finally killed by Xirong's father-in-law. The Son of Heaven is like this, and the princes have also learned. Like Jin Guo, there are also many similar things. ”

"Therefore, it is too normal for there to be barbarians among relatives, it is better to say that everyone often jumps back and forth between Zhuxia and Barbarians. Some princes, who obey Zhou Tianzi today, are Zhuxia, and after a few days of disobedience, they were expelled from Xia and became barbarians. So it's not a problem at all. ”

"You just have to work hard. In the future, if you can make a career, some people will recognize you as a Chinese. He told Jeanne: "When the time comes, you don't need to say it, everyone will have to be related to Lingpan." ”

"I don't expect these ......" Xiao Jeanna was probably just dissatisfied with Zhu Wenkui's words, but when he said this, she was a little hesitant.

"I just think people are weird. All over the world, they are particularly entangled in the problems of this ethnic group and that ethnic group. We've never seen anyone think about this, so don't we live the same? By French standards, Celtic-speaking Bretons and German-speaking Lorraine are French. The criteria for this distinction are looser than those of the Yuan Dynasty. ”

"It's easy." Guo Kang said with a smile: "On the Central Plains side, there is actually no room for expansion. The agrarian civilization has reached the end of what the geography allows, so it can only keep drawing out the enemy, and then everyone fights each other - the loser becomes a barbarian and is driven out. ”

"Of course, it can also be reversed. If you can't beat someone yourself, you'll be kicked out, and it's okay to declare that everyone else is a barbarian. This example is also close at hand, so it can be seen that it is not uncommon at all......"

"This cycle goes on and on, that's why they pay special attention to the distinction between ethnic groups, which is that there are too few things that can be divided. On the contrary, if there are too many things, people will immediately change their opinions and ignore them. When you look at the pre-Qin period, everyone didn't care much about these things, in fact, isn't it because there is still a lot of room for expansion, so they are willing to accept these people. ”

"It seems to be the same when you think about it......," Zhu Wenkui muttered, "I never thought about this before." They said that Grandpa Tai started by expelling the Tartars, and I have always remembered that......"

"The slogan is true, but this is mainly about the legitimacy of the regime." Guo Kang helped him analyze: "You can't see it just by looking at the Ming Dynasty, but if you look at other countries, it's obvious." ”

"The Grand Duchy of Moscow was the number one taxman and thug of the Golden Horde; The Timurid regime, a branch of the Chagatai faction, also served as a vassal for Eastern Chagatai; The Ottomans were the agents of the Ilkhanate in Asia Minor. You see, these regional countries in the 'post-Mongolian era' basically worked for the Mongols, and then they were recognized and took advantage of the opportunity to develop. ”

Zhu Wenkui thought about it and found that this was really the case.

Actually, Guo Kang didn't finish speaking. The Safavid Dynasty, which later reunited Persia, was also supported by the Ilkhanate. Their order was supported by the Khanate and was able to grow and develop.

Later, the Mughals in India, the Safavid in Persia, the Ottomans and Russia in Eastern Europe, a string of powerful countries, can be said to have started with the doglegs of the Mongols, with few exceptions.

"Compare them to see why there is an emphasis on 'expelling the Tartars'. This is not an expulsion against an individual, and perhaps not even against a group, but a de jure one. Guo Kang analyzed: "In order to show his own special and point out his legitimacy, he deliberately emphasized it. ”

"Is that so?" Zhu Wenkui wondered.

"Of course." Guo Kang said: "In terms of the number of Tatars expelled, the Ming Dynasty is not as good as the Great Yuan. ”

"Uh......"

"The enemies that the Ming Dynasty fought when it opened the country were basically Han Chinese." For example, he said: "Look at the warlords who were nominally loyal to the Yuan Dynasty: Wang Baobao's subordinates, the main force was the wealthy clan of Henan, and the regiment was formed to train the army; Li Siqi's subordinates, the main force is the Hao clan armed forces in Guanlong; The main force of Polo Timur's subordinates was the Hao clan in Sichuan...... To put it bluntly, it is a group of Han people and squires who are armed to defend the Great Khan. ”

"At that time, the ordinary Mongols rebelled earlier than the Han people, and before the Red Turban Army came, the Mongols near Shangdu began to rebel in three days. In the end, the Hongjira tribe mutinied, and the local nobles fled to Dadu and basically abandoned there. ”

"The Red Turban Army may have become the most special peasant army because of this. They set out from Bianliang and fought all the way to the grassland, and they could still replenish their troops. Guo Kang explained: "Unlike the Zhao and Song dynasties, which the Central Plains people did not dare to want, the Han and Song dynasties were even able to be incorporated by the Mongols. ”

"That tribe, isn't it the tribe of the queens of the Yuan Dynasty?" Jeanne Jr. wondered.

"Indeed." Guo Kang nodded: "But the nobles are relatives of the emperor." What does this have to do with herders. ”

"It seems to be ...... too"

"So, I don't think that's the problem." Guo Kang said, reminding: "As for the more core reason, it is not obvious in China, but if you compare it with other people, you will know how strange it is that your grandfather has not worked for the Mongols." ”

Guo Kang is actually not sure whether Zhu Yuanzhang really accepted the title of the Yuan Dynasty, but this actually doesn't matter. At least he saved his own family money, and he didn't take the initiative to ask the Yuan Dynasty to fight. This alone is different from almost all other countries.

Even the later Muscovite state dared to brazenly say that it was a regime that rebelled against the Mongols, and the curve succeeded in saving the country. Then Zhu Yuanzhang blew this sentence, there is nothing to be guilty of at all.

The Zhu Wenkui brothers and sisters were speechless for a while.

I enlisted the help of a friend who could draw to make a "The Sinful Life of Socrates". Easter eggs were put at the beginning.,2333 will be serialized slowly in the future.
