The black robe gritted his teeth and said bitterly: "These Jiehu bastards are really like devils and Shura. They are actually allowed to temporarily take over the world. They are humiliating and harming our Han nobles. It is really a shame.
Every time I read history here, I want to tear up all these history books and eat them!"
Doupeng laughed loudly: "Black-robed Venerable, please calm down. These ethnic groups and levels are no longer worth mentioning after we become immortals and succeed in cultivating immortals. However, like you, I also read
At the time of history, there was endless anger,
But now I have a little doubt, that is, if the Jiehu tribes in Shizhao are also the remnants of Guifang, then will the Guifang tribe be inferior to the Xiongnu in the future? After all, the tribe in Shile is just another tribe of servants of the Xiongnu."
The ancestor said calmly: "The tribe that Shi Le belongs to is not actually on the grasslands of Mobei, nor is it the earliest Guifang tribe. Their tribe was first in the Kangju Kingdom in the Western Regions. This Kangju is
It is the northwestmost big country in the Western Region, and it is also close to the land in the river, where the Guifang tribe first originated. However, after thousands of years, in the land in the river, whether its tribes or gods, the earliest and most ferocious ones
Help people, often
After moving to other places, those who stayed on the grasslands were no longer as ferocious as in the early days. After all, in the land of the river and on the grasslands, various military technologies and various ferocious spirits were created due to continuous attacks and killings.
In the past years of continuous foreign expansion, their advantages have gradually disappeared. Once the farming people have evolved military skills such as iron weapons, chariots, and phalanxes, they can use their numerical advantage to resist the attacks of these barbaric ghost tribes.
Invasion."
"It's just that in ancient times, large empires based on farming had not yet taken shape. The number of people was scattered and isolated tribes. Compared with the nomadic tribes on the grassland, they had no advantage at all. If they had war horses, they would still have war.
When Che's Guifang tribe attacked, he had almost no power to fight back and could only be massacred and slaughtered. But later,
In modern times, from the Zhou Dynasty to the Han Dynasty in the Central Plains, farming has become the mainstream. The number of people engaged in farming in the Central Plains is far greater than that of the nomadic tribesmen in the grasslands. The weapons and military technology for combat are also based on various iron weapons.
, crossbows, and iron armor, and in turn gained the upper hand, the Guifang tribe slowly declined and disappeared."
The black robe's brows were still furrowed: "However, even in ancient times, the Guifang tribe was still very powerful. According to you, ancestor, they have destroyed many large countries and civilizations, and have become rulers themselves.
, or in other words, their policy of enslaving the people and dividing people into four classes will slowly decline with the resistance of the people in the occupied areas and the struggle for power within their upper class. As you said before
Yes, the Assyrian Empire, which is the resting place of the two rivers, is just like the Qin Dynasty. Even if it conquers the world, its offensive and defensive strength will be different due to the lack of benevolence and righteousness, and it will eventually perish. Think again about the Shizhao Empire of Jiehu
, they are white-skinned and wolf-hearted, and they are also the remnants of the ghost side. Their demise is also due to the fratricide of the ruling clan, or even civil war, which leads to self-destruction. It should be the same as the demise of the Assyrian Empire.
reason."
Doupeng smiled slightly and said: "Yes, that's it. Yi Di only wants to fight for the territory. After occupying it, they want to give it to their descendants for thousands of generations. They enslave the conquered people to work, and they will not allow their own
Tribesmen, and even members of the same clan come to snatch their power. This is human nature.
They are selfish, ferocious, savage and cruel Yi and Di, the more so. The reason why our Chinese clan has been able to change from the state of primitive and barbaric tribes fighting each other to the later Confucian Zhou rites, loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness is probably because
We have experienced too many internal conflicts, and in the end the country was ruined and the family was destroyed. Only then did we learn the lesson."
The ancestor nodded: "Yes, the so-called Confucianism, Zhouli, benevolence, justice, loyalty and filial piety are actually just two words, rules. It is the rules that human beings themselves set for themselves in this world. There are
these rules
, we cannot arbitrarily use troops to conquer foreign countries, because the unjust army will eventually fight back, kill people and destroy the country, and will eventually end up with fratricide. This is actually the same as the cycle of chaos, and the two rituals are mutually reinforcing and restraining each other, and are consistent with the principle of justice.
of."
"As for the Guifang tribe, if they don't use their fighting power externally, they will definitely fight among themselves and fight to the death. This is the same as the current grassland tribes fighting each other. The Guifang tribes
Attacking and killing is particularly fierce. Generally speaking, only
Only the strong ones who survived the internal strife would think about further expansion to the outside world. Because of the great flood in the Central Plains of China, the Guifang tribe chose to use their troops elsewhere. After leaving for hundreds of years, they finally lost their lives because of a
Other reasons have come back."
The black robe frowned: "Other reasons? Could it be because the Shimao guard, or the Shimao tribe, once again colluded with the Guifang tribe to attack Taosi, the capital of Emperor Yao's country? I thought again
Do you want to destroy me, the Central Plains of China?"
The ancestor nodded: "The Shimao tribe was just because Yao wanted to pass it on to his own son Danzhu, so that the system of recommendation and abdication could no longer continue. I said before that Danzhu is different from the previous father-to-son succession.
In the past, it was just raiding tribes
Name, and Danzhu, is Yao's biological son, because at this time the paternal lineage has been officially formed. Once the father dies and the son succeeds, in terms of human selfishness and descendant sacrifice, the abdication system will be completely ended.
Already."
"But Yao was highly virtuous and had ruled the world for another seventy years. His power extended to all tribes, especially the princes here in Shimao. The guards were sent to guard the border because they openly opposed Yao's plan to pass the throne to his son Danzhu.
In other words, the princes who opposed the succession of father to son have already been cleared up by Yao, or almost marginalized. If they want to resist with force, I am afraid that Chongli's fate will be right in front of him."
Heipao sneered and said: "So, this tribe guarding Shimao thought of the powerful Guifang tribe on the grassland. With their power and the leadership of this tribe, they came to attack Tao Temple and destroy Yao in one fell swoop?
"
The ancestor smiled slightly: "Yes, but what we want to eliminate in this tribe is not actually Yao himself, not even Danzhu, but the system of father to son, to inherit the inheritance of the emperor, and to return to the previous abdication.
