"I think the biggest difference between humans and beasts is that humans have wisdom. The strength of a beast must be reflected by its claws; but the strength of a human does not necessarily have to be expressed by muscles. People who only know how to use brute force
, how is it different from a wild beast?"
Ding Yuluo said with a half-smile: "You haven't read the book, but you have the tone of a scholar. Yes, if this rhetoric were taken to Kaifeng Mansion, it would be very popular with those scholars, but it won't work here. I often hear that
There are people outside the world, and there is heaven outside the world. However, although I practice martial arts, I don’t think there are martial arts in the world that can defeat ten thousand enemies. Otherwise, why would I have an army?
However, martial arts is by no means just a way to strengthen the body. The northwest is close to the barbarians, and martial arts is very popular, so everyone respects force the most. For example, if a person joins the army and has good martial arts, he will be appreciated by the superior.
With the admiration of your colleagues, it will be easier for you to stand out. Martial arts is not only your personal martial arts, but also the stone for your advancement. For those who have nothing with bare hands, joining the army and making meritorious deeds is the first shortcut to their career. As for you,
If General Cheng Shixiong, who became a border guard general from a domestic slave, heard these words, he would definitely not agree with them."
Ding Hao asked in surprise: "Guangyuan General Cheng Shixiong was originally someone else's slave?"
"Yes", there are probably three days left to reach Guangyuan, and today is the food delivery date. It has been delayed for three days. Guangyuan has more or less surplus food, so it will definitely be able to survive, so Ding Yuluo
He was in a good mood, so he patiently explained to him: "Cheng Shixiong was originally a domestic slave in the house of Jin general Du Chongwei. Du Chongwei was the sister-in-law of Jin Emperor Shi Jingtang. Shi Jingtang gave the Youyun Sixteen Prefectures to the Khitan people, and also gave it to the Khitan people.
He claimed to be his son-in-law to the Khitan people, but his brother-in-law was just as spineless as him.
Du Chongwei was famous for his greed for money and lust when he was an official. In the place where he served, he almost scraped off three feet of land. When it came time to fight, he retreated when encountering the enemy and was timid and afraid of death. Later, the Jin Dynasty fell.
Du Chongwei's family was also ruined, so General Cheng fled to the Song Dynasty and joined the army as a soldier. Within a few years, he was promoted through promotions based on his ability and became the famous border guard general he is today."
Speaking of this, she paused for a moment and then said: "Of course, he was able to be promoted successively not only for his own abilities, but also for the appreciation and support of the nobles. He, this nobleman, is the Zhe family of Fuzhou. Since the time of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty,
, after more than two hundred years of troubled times, the world's powerful clans and clans have been almost wiped out, but the clans and clans are not completely gone. In southern Fujian, as well as in our northwest region, such clans and semi-vassal towns still exist.
Take our northwest region as an example. The Yang family in Linzhou, the Zhejia in Fuzhou, the Li family in Jinming, and the Wang family in Fengzhou are all well-known powerful family members. Their tyranny in force is not something we, the Emperor of the Song Dynasty, would obey.
They not only had soldiers, but also money and grain. Tang, Qin and Zheli were the four famous merchants in the northwest. Among them, the Tang family and the Li family were dependent on the Zhe family. The Zhe family itself was a branch of the Zhe family and did business.
And the big businessman surnamed Li is a branch of the Jinming Li family..."
Ding Hao listened calmly. He had a strange origin, so he had always been secretive about his true identity. Not only did he not dare to mention it to anyone, he also did not dare to reveal any clues. When he had just traveled through time, he asked Xinzhu'er and found out
I knew that the Tatar country in the north was called Tietuo Country, and I thought that history had changed a lot. Now it seems that, except that the name Daliao has changed to Tietuo, the history is basically the same as the one I know.
Thinking about it, this is also the case. The premise of the butterfly effect is that it does not receive any reaction force. But if you really travel through time, the changes you can affect can only be local. The people you come into contact with and the things you experience will naturally have their own changes at that time.
People react to it in various ways to counteract its impact.
If someone really came to ancient time and space before me and had a certain influence, it would indeed change some things that were already established. However, as long as the general development trend remains unchanged, those heroes who should have stood out due to the times and circumstances will
If his appearance had not changed the destiny of life, then the world would still be roughly the same.
After thinking through these problems, Ding Hao felt relieved. Since Shi Jingtang, the eternal sinner, is still there, and since Daliao just changed the name of Tietuo without changing the medicine, then...
Ding Hao suddenly asked curiously: "Is there a Tang State in the south of our Song Dynasty?"
People in this era have little information. Many old farmers who have never left their homes ten miles away only know that the person sitting in the Jinluan Palace is the emperor. As for the emperor’s surname, they don’t know anything. Major changes in dynasties are sometimes not known until the world has been peaceful for several years, so Ding Hao
Ding Yuluo was not surprised by this question. She nodded naturally and said, "Yes, the Tang Dynasty has been passed down for three generations, and the current king is called Li Yu."
"As expected..." Ding Hao felt excited. It was indeed very exciting to be able to see with his own eyes a world that could only be seen from old papers, even though it had changed a little.
Li Yu, I don’t know how many years it will take him to become the king of subjugation. He is very similar to Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty. Both of them are kings of subjugation, and both are great talents. One is the emperor of Ci, and the other is the sect of Ci.
Each of them was a foolish king who used traitors to harm the loyal and good. Li Yu was extravagant, believed in Buddhism and sycophants, favored the treacherous minister Huangfu Xun, and killed the famous general Lin Huzi in vain; Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty used the "six traitors" to create a mess in the court.
Li Yu wrote the poem "The flowers are bright and the moon is dark and the mist is shrouded in light mist. I will go to Langbian tonight. I put my stockings on the fragrant steps and carry my gold-laced shoes", which created the image of Xiao Zhouhou, the best lover in the history; Song Huizong wrote a poem "
We drank together in front of each other, hugging each other by the soft jade lamp. We looked back and hugged each other, and it was always affectionate." This made Li Shishi the first prostitute in the Song Dynasty.
The difference is that Li Yu died at the hands of a Han emperor, so the men of later generations sympathized with his misfortune, and the young bourgeoisie women admired his romance and talent, completely forgetting his ignorance and incompetence. However, Song Huizong died at the hands of a foreign emperor.
In his hands, he rubbed an extra pinch of salt on the scars of the traumatized souls of future generations, and the result is that he has been scolded for thousands of years until now..."
"Ding Hao?" Seeing that he was in a daze, Ding Yuluo couldn't help being a little scared and called him quickly.
Ding Hao suddenly woke up and couldn't help but laugh: "I wonder what these things are for. In this life, I can make a fortune in the northwest and live a happy life. My merits will be complete. Those affairs of the emperor's family are none of my business."
Ding Yuluo saw him in a daze and giggling for a while, and couldn't help but feel angry and funny at the same time: "This time, because the people who were originally responsible for transporting grain had spies inside, none of them dared to use them, so they hurriedly used these motley crew to form this grain transport team.
Team, I was very worried at first, but then you behaved differently, and I finally calmed down. Don’t be smart and stupid sometimes, I completely rely on you now."
Ding Hao laughed and said: "No, no, I just think the weather tonight..."
He looked up at the sky, and before he finished typing, he suddenly closed one eye and lowered his head.
"What's wrong?"
"Hmm...nothing, a snowflake just fell into my eyes. I said it's so warm tonight, so it turns out it's going to snow..."
After finishing his sentence, Ding Hao suddenly paused and was quiet for a moment. He suddenly raised his head and looked at Ding Yuluo, a slight smile froze on her face.
The two looked at each other for a long time, with inexplicable fear slowly showing in their eyes, and they both slowly raised their heads.
The sky is like ink, and when you look up, you can't see anything. It's not until the dim red light of a string of lanterns on the high pole covers the area that you can see that the snow is falling down one after another, covering the sky and the ground, and the snow is as big as a mat.
