Chapter 5716 The History of Suffering Invasion of Great Powers
Liu Yu said calmly: "Whether Hu or Han people are all human beings, most ordinary people are kind and simple people. If they were not forced by survival, who would have been fighting and killing all day long and licking blood on the knife? The reason why the barbarians look wild and cruel is that the living environment on the grassland they live in is too harsh, so bad that they cannot survive without fighting or killing, and without robbing or robbing."
"In our era, the barbarians of grasslands were no longer a problem, because after a powerful country was established, they would take the initiative to find trouble in one side and support from all directions. Where can there be natural disasters and famines? The whole country would mobilize surplus food in other places to help the victims. If such means are available, why would the barbarians of grasslands rebel and fight and kill?"
The ancestor frowned: "What you said is somewhat reasonable. I think when the Han Dynasty married in the early Han Dynasty, the Han Dynasty gave the Huns the dowry and soup money for the princesses. In other words, in the name of giving the princess living expenses, they gave the Huns a lot of food and cloth every year so that they could live a life of full food and clothing without war and robbery. Therefore, although the Huns occasionally robbed south for decades, it was not as frequent as before, and they could generally maintain the overall peace of the Han and Huns for decades. If the grasslands were also taken under the rule of their rule and became the people of a country, then there would be more reason to help them."
Liu Yu said calmly: "The dispute between Han and Hu, the dispute between farming and nomadic grasslands, is ultimately a conflict caused by material deficiency, not unmediated. The nomadic people on the grassland are mostly descendants of Yan and Huang, but they have differentiated into different ethnic groups because of the different environments. If science and technology develop, technological progress, and land output can feed more people, people in the world will no longer worry about food and clothing, then this contradiction is naturally
The conflicts will gradually be eliminated. In this era, I have my mission. In addition to letting the people of the Central Plains and even the world open up the wisdom of the people, knowing that everyone is equal, and starting to work hard to strive for progress, we must also eliminate the hatred and contradictions between the Han and Hu, farming and nomadic people for thousands of years, and form a unified nation with the descendants of Yan and Huang as the main body. Only those built on this nation will be a strong country with common cognition and centripetal force."
The ancestor said thoughtfully: "What do you mean, in later generations, a unified country with the Han people as the main body, and other things, and ethnic minorities as the auxiliary?"
Liu Yu nodded: "Yes, in later generations, China faced the threat of Western powers and Japan from the East. Later generations, this Japanese country was called Japan. These countries were controlled by capitalists and became capitalist powers. Later, they all embarked on the path of imperialism, that is, they expanded madly to conquer and enslave various weak countries and nations, and did not take these conquered places as existing and treated the people as their own people. Instead, they carried out colonial rule, supported puppets in these places, ruled on behalf of others, and plundered the property of these countries, and forced them to offer sacrifices regularly, but did not give them any benefits."
The ancestor sneered: "That is to say, as long as the resources, food, cloth and so on in these places, regardless of the lives and death of the people in these places, the local nobles will rule on their behalf, just like the Central Plains dynasty ruled in various barbarians before, right?"
Liu Yu curled his lips and said, "It's a bit of that, but it's not exactly the case. In short, you can temporarily understand it, because in our era, technological progress and institutional technology have been greatly developed, and finally we have formed what we call industrial civilization. We can use a lot of methods similar to institutional technology to produce. As you said before, these institutional people, or institutional tools, can be used to farm, irrigate, repair cities, paving roads and other actions. On the road of the country, there are various trains, cars, and other things. No matter how you need to rely on livestock such as horses or cattle to pull a cart, especially trains, which can be used to drive hundreds of thousands or millions of pounds, and within a day, you can drive from Chang'an to Luoyang."
The ancestor widened his eyes incredibly: "With such technology? I can't help but want to see it with my own eyes. However, as long as the magic is strong enough and there are various ways to move mountains and ridges, the great masters with high magic power can also do it."
Liu Yu smiled slightly: "But we are mortals, and we can do it through technology. Gods still consume magic power. But we use this kind of train and automobile, so since the industrial revolution, a large number of agricultural population can be saved to engage in industry and manufacture these institutions that can replace human production. This is the Western industrial revolution, which has made these Western countries stronger. In less than two hundred years, they surpassed China, which had always been ahead of them in technology. Later, their army could finally take advantage of the giant ships controlled by mechanisms to climb over tens of thousands of miles of oceans and come to the sea east of China."
Speaking of this, Liu Yu thought of the century-old painful history, his eyes became dim, and he murmured: "These Western imperialist powers, just like the Guifang tribe back then, took large armies and ships to our seashore, forcibly demanded that the Central Plains dynasty at that time, open ports and provide them with opportunities for business and trade. Not only that, they also had to spread their religion, namely, a sect called God's omniscient and omnipotent god, to spread in the Central Plains."
The ancestor curled his lips: "It's nothing strange. The past external invasions have been this process. It is said that rituals first and then soldiers are the ones. But if you say that the Central Plains dynasty has not developed much and is still in a stagnant state. However, Western powers can drive giant ships to the sea. The Central Plains dynasty will definitely not be able to defeat military powers, unless all the people of the country come together to resist, so that the great powers cannot get what they want."
