The Song Dynasty is not the Song Dynasty six years ago.

Likewise, Xixia is not the Xixia it was six years ago.

Even the Kingdom of Jin is changing.

"Any field, any thing, and within things, as well as between things, contain contradictions."

At this time, Zhao Ding came out to speak.

Although this thing was created by Zhao Ning, a transcendent, in the Song Dynasty.

But when he heard the ancients talking about dialectics, he was still quite surprised.

"The unity and struggle between the two contradictory parties promote the movement, change and development of things."

Zhao Gou on the side was confused when he heard this, thinking to himself, what the hell is Zhao Ding talking about, why have I never heard of it?

Not only Zhao Gou was confused, Cai Mao was also confused.

If we look at all the countries in the Eastern world in the 12th century as a whole, their mutual conflicts erupted to extremes in the first year of Jingkang, pushing the entire situation to a new pattern.

Although there are many secondary contradictions, the main contradiction here is the contradiction between countries.

They fight fiercely against each other, and the fight always exists.

It will not disappear just because Zhao Ning traveled over, nor will it disappear just because the Song Dynasty became stronger.

Zhao Ning did not expect that Zhao Ding understood dialectics so quickly.

Zhao Ding continued: "In the first year of Jingkang, the contradictory situation was that Jin was strong, Song was weak, and Xixia was weak. After the Jingkang New Deal, it would not immediately become Song strong, Jin was weak, and Xia was weak."

Hearing this, Zhao Gou felt that Zhao Ding was talking nonsense. He couldn't help but stand up and said, "What the Prime Minister said is wrong."

Seeing that it was King Kang who spoke, Zhao Ding said out of politeness, "I wonder what your highness has to say?"

"Our dynasty has experienced the Jingkang restructuring. The people's lives are obviously better than before, and the combat effectiveness of the border soldiers is stronger than before. Let's talk about the number of armors, the number of war horses, military expenditure reserves, and the reform of the military system. Which one is not completely new?"

Zhao Gou stood there with emotion.

"Conquering Annan, occupying the city, conquering Goryeo, and defeating Xixia several times all show that under your majesty's hard work, the Song Dynasty has become a powerful force in the world. Now that Xixia is weak, the Jin Kingdom is huddled in the north and dare not look south. Isn't that right?

It’s a great time to send troops to destroy Xia!”

Zhao Ding continued: "Your Highness, Prince Kang, contradictions are not only of struggle, but also of unity."

King Kang, who was already enthusiastic, was once again confused by Zhao Ding's words.

He looked at Zhao Ding and asked doubtfully: "What does the Grand Prime Minister mean?"

Zhao Ding continued: "Contradictions are interactive and interdependent."

King Kang: "..."

Zhao Ding explained: "It's like the water in a pool. If you fill the south side with soil, the water surface in the south will not be higher than other places, because the water in this pool is integrated."

"The Song Dynasty became stronger, and the interdependent and interactive Xixia and even the Jin Kingdom will become stronger than before, and the world will be like a pool, unless..."

King Kang felt that this statement was very novel, and couldn't help but ask: "Unless what?"

"The principle of the pool is very simple. You fill the water in the southern part of the pond with soil. The water will flow to other directions within a certain period of time. In the end, the water surface will be the same level. Unless the water rising from the south has not had time to flow over, at this time, the east side of the pool will

The water surface is higher than other places, but the flow of water is a natural principle."

After speaking, Zhao Ding summed it up in one sentence: "Thus achieving the unity of contradictions between each other."

This is the dialectical development logic of things.

Zhao Gou was still a little confused, but he seemed to understand roughly.

"What the Grand Prime Minister means is that as the Song Dynasty becomes stronger, Xixia will also become stronger, and the Kingdom of Jin will also become stronger?"

"Yes, that's the truth."

"Then why didn't the Jin army go south?"

"The water in the south is flowing to the north. In order to be equal to the south, the water in the north will accept the water flowing over."

King Kang said in surprise: "You mean, the Kingdom of Jin is absorbing our dynasty's national policy of becoming stronger?"

"That's right." Zhao Ding said, "In the competition between things, if one party has superior technology and system, after defeating the other party, the other party will definitely start to reflect and learn, and within a period of time, the distance between the two parties will be shortened, thus reaching a contradiction.

a new balance.”

"The other party can also not reflect or learn." Kang Wang felt that Zhao Ding's theory was full of loopholes, so he continued to ask.

"If you don't reflect and learn, you will be frustrated one after another until things die." Zhao Ding continued, "But Xixia did not die, and neither did the Jin Kingdom."

Cai Mao seemed to understand what Zhao Ding said, and he said: "Liu Xi's defeat shows that Xixia is indeed getting stronger."

Zhao Ding said: "Yes, Liu Xi's defeat has verified the correctness of dialectics."

Zhao Gou asked doubtfully: "Dialectics?"

Zhao Ding said: "Your Majesty wrote Dialectics."

Zhao Gou's whole body was shocked. Is this actually His Majesty's argument?

Others also expressed surprise. When did Zhao Guanjia write this and such-and-such "Dialectics"?

Seeing that everyone was confused, Zhao Ning said: "So many things have happened in these years. I have been thinking about some things. I wrote a few words some time ago, but I haven't had time to tell you about it yet."

Everyone didn't know what to say for a while.

They couldn't immediately call Zhao Guan's family awesome.

After all, the dialectics Zhao Ding just mentioned is just the tip of the iceberg, and they cannot understand it immediately.

People have only two attitudes toward incomprehensible thoughts: one is to understand it, and the other is to destroy it.

Dialectics is a very profound philosophical speculation. It is impossible for everyone to accept it immediately after Zhao Guanjia wrote it.

Therefore, Zhao Ning only showed it to Zhao Ding first.

He didn't expect that Zhao Ding would learn so quickly and learn to explain with examples.

Zhao Ning said: "There is another way of saying dialectics, negation of negation, the development of things is a progressive and tortuous unity."

Except for Zhao Ding, everyone present was obviously confused by this sentence.

"The development of things must be forward, but it is not straight forward, but has to go through twists and turns." Zhao Ning said, "For example, the strategy against Xixia has been fighting continuously for more than a hundred years to take back Hengshan, but it is not always the case.

Everything went smoothly, but it was brought back and thrown away, and lost and brought back again, but today we take ten cities, tomorrow we lose five cities, and the day after tomorrow we take eight cities. Sooner or later, Hengshan will return to the hands of the Song Dynasty."

Everyone suddenly realized that the Zhao Guan family was so skilled.

"The reason why it is tortuous lies in the interaction and unity of contradictions. The strengthening of the Song Dynasty will definitely affect Xixia and bring the contradictions to a new balance."

Zhao Gou couldn't help but ask: "Doesn't it mean that Xixia will never be destroyed?"
