In this environment, Guo Kang very much hopes that the core concept of "Romans" can be determined and a stable group like the Central Plains people can be formed.

It's not like no one has tried it before, but to be honest, the level on the European side is really not good. Even the Romans themselves could not figure out what could be used to form a consensus of "Romans" across geographies other than citizenship.

The Greeks tried to bind Rome to Greece. But they soon got into the rhythm of constant "expulsion from Greece", and it was clear that they could not continue like this.

Although it gives everyone a very unreliable feeling, the Greeks are already the oldest and most culturally developed civilization in Europe. He can eat deflated for more than 2,000 years, provided that he can really live for more than 2,000 years. The other barbarians, although they can indeed fight, are not as good as the Greeks to expect them to do this......

Therefore, Guo Kang feels that it is still necessary to refer to the example of the Central Plains. Like Yongzheng's "regional" theory, it can be used directly.

The Purple Horde could have declared the "Barbarian family", and as long as it was under Roman rule, everyone was a Roman. Different languages and cultures are normal, because regional differences will lead to such differences.

Ordinary people here don't have a view of the world, but they at least know the Heavenly Father and Heavenly Brother. I can tell you that the world was created by the Father, and all people come from the same ancestor. Everyone is of the same origin, and in the end they will definitely return to oneness, which is the goal of Brother Tian's establishment of universal faith, and it is also where the salvation of man lies.

This theory is not even afraid of the impact of science on theology in modern times. Because even with biological analysis, human beings did evolve from one ancestor.

On the other hand, the belief in the Heavenly Father of the Purple Horde was inherently bound to Roman knowledge.

The Roman Church believes that there is a correspondence between the kingdom of heaven and the kingdom of mortals, and that the definition of Rome can cover all people in the world, and that the concept of "Roman nation" can be created to directly replace the concept of members of the Roman Church. In this way, even if various modern methods are used, the self-consistency of the theory can be maintained. This theoretical foreshadowing can also be carried out from now on.

As for the concept of "tianxia", it can also be derived slowly, not only will it not be abandoned in modern times, but it will be continuously strengthened by the improvement of transportation and the strengthening of connections around the world.

In Guo Kang's world, modern Seris people still have the concept of the world, but their own strength is not good. They are just like the Great Song Dynasty, although they still have a foundation in theory, they are not capable of being the masters of the world, so they can only give up this requirement for the time being. But in fact, it was a question of military strength, and it did not have much impact on Rome.

In short, this trick can also be learned from the people of the Central Plains.

The concept of ethnic groups in the Central Plains is a theory that can be expanded infinitely. From the Xia tribe, to the Huaxia Alliance, to the concept of the Han people, it is constantly "stacked" from generation to generation.

When it comes to the speed of cultural expansion, the Central Plains people are actually not good at it, and their method is progressing very slowly. But the good thing is that this expansion is very stable compared to the barbarian culture where "it rises and falls".

Not to mention the Central Plains people, even the other secondary civilizations attached to it are like this. After Vietnam defeated Champa, it washed away the local Hindu and Tianfang cultures in a generation, and never re-emerged - you know, these two are already very advanced civilizations in the world.

In modern times, the construction of the concept of the Seris state is a reproduction of the process from the Chinese to the Han Chinese, which is equivalent to another upgrade and expansion. Judging from the results, compared with history, this expansion has been unusually smooth, and although there are counterattacks and resistances, they can be regarded as negligible compared to other civilizations. Obviously, this is the best place to refer to.

Although it is claimed to be a reference to the ethnic construction of the French, this oriental ethnic model is clearly a different case. According to European theory, there is no way to explain this structure. In Guo Kang's previous life, because the historical foundation was too poor, a series of troubles arose, but these were also technical problems, not conceptual issues involving the core of civilization.

This model can be roughly divided into two parts, one part is the model of the Red Horde, and the other part is actually the "Yongzheng model" after several magic reforms in modern times. As for the red tent model, Guo Kang felt that it was better to give up directly. The level of this thing can only be said to be inferior to the Qing Dynasty, so forget it......

And the biggest problem of Yongzheng's thinking is not difficult to solve here.

Can "Huayi Family", "World", and "Legitimacy" all be obtained? Actually, it's not impossible.

The biggest problem in Yongzheng Theory is that he wants legitimacy and forbids others to gain legitimacy. In fact, as long as he gives up the superior position of the Eight Banners, he can directly realize the "Huayi family"; As long as the hereditary system is not adhered to, legitimacy can be obtained directly. However, these two points are precisely the most unlikely.

In the middle and late Qing Dynasty, there were already serious livelihood problems in the Eight Banners. Because the Eight Banners Salary, which is commonly known as "hardcore crops", is only issued to those who serve as soldiers. If the Eight Banners man didn't have a knighthood and didn't become a soldier, he wouldn't be able to receive it directly.

The population of the Eight Banners is growing, but the number of flag soldiers has always been the same. By the time of Qianlong, there were about 600,000 men in the Eight Banners in the capital, and the number of soldiers was only 120,000. As for those with knighthoods, less than 1% of the total number of banner people, and the remaining four-fifths have no money to get.

Moreover, the Qing government did not allow them to farm, work, or do business, and they had no income at all. What should I do if I don't have anything to eat? Figure it out yourself, anyway, the court doesn't care, it's your own business to starve to death.

This is still the best treatment in Beijing, and other places can be imagined.

In this case, the shortage of soldiers has become the top priority of the banner family, but the number of places is limited, and most people just can't make up for it anyway. Qianlong tried to reduce the number of men in the Eight Banners and cut a large number of Han Eight Banners, but this phenomenon still could not be alleviated.

What is very black humorous is that the real improvement in the situation of the banner people was the Taiping War at the end of the Qing Dynasty - because many flag cities were destroyed, a bunch of vacancies were vacated at once, resulting in the rest of the flag people living a better life......

But even so, the Qing Dynasty verbally emphasized preferential treatment of the banner people. This is not an economic problem, nor does it have anything to do with reality, but is the result of the ruling theory of the imperial court. Eventually, this "you can do it but you have to say" situation that offends everyone.

Therefore, the best way is to avoid this situation outright: don't bind Rome to a group that cannot be expanded or changed, otherwise it will only be abandoned by everyone.
