Chapter 563 Yanjiang Upstairs Talks about the World
He Xie and Qiao Feng Duan Yu became sworn sworn friends, and their favorability levels increased rapidly. Whether he can drag the two of them into his chariot depends on what happens next!
He had to be cautious. After all, even He Xie himself knew how subversive what he wanted to do would be to the world?
This is not a game for hegemony, but a turmoil and change sweeping the world!
As for whether the revolution he led has a market in this era, to a certain extent, Qiao Feng and Duan Yu are the best touchstones.
Duan Yu is considered an anti-war person. Although his status as a vested interest is an obstacle, he has the blood to dare to sacrifice.
Qiao Feng has a special status. After today's disaster, he may have a deeper understanding of the concepts of race and peace.
He Xie has sincerely devoted himself to them, and they are all people with clear grudges. If even these two people strongly oppose him, it proves that no one in this era can accept his ideas.
If this is the case, no matter how high He Xie's martial arts skills are, how many pots of blood can he do if he is covered in blood?
Then he'd better give up this crazy idea as soon as possible.
He Xie has been preparing for today for a long time.
He did not directly talk about his "dream", after all, the person standing in front of him was not a dream mentor.
"Two worthy brothers." He Xie smiled slightly, "In your opinion, what is the fate of the five countries in the world?"
He started the most important conversation in the world with a question.
The three people present at this time had no idea what this "Guiyou Secret Talk", which was always talked about by later generations, signified.
And they didn't know that because of the conversation that followed, the Yanjiang Tower would become a tourist attraction in later generations, and the idiom "Yanjiang Zhi" also came from this.
At this time, Qiao Feng and Duan Yu were just thinking about the question raised by He Xie, and even Wang Yuyan was also thinking about it.
After a slight silence, Duan Yu smiled and spoke first: "I'm young and a little ignorant, so let's start with some ideas."
"The Northern Song Dynasty was as rich as a giant elephant, but its armaments were lax over the past century, as if it had been pulled out of its teeth; the Liao army had strong generals, but it was a pity that the political situation was chaotic, the nobles were greedy for pleasure, and the army could only bully its neighbors, like an old
Tigers; the country of Xixia is poor and has few people, and everyone is a soldier, like a hungry wolf; the tribes of Tubo have been warring and divided all year round, and because of the prevalence of Tantric Buddhism in the past hundred years, they have only stopped fighting, like a pack of wild dogs; as for me in Dali, we have few soldiers and few generals.
It counts as a buffalo."
Duan Yu paused and continued: "Although the giant elephant has no teeth, it is strong and strong. Tigers are old and covet the giant elephant, but as long as they have meat to eat, they will not rashly fight. And although the hungry wolf wants to eat the giant elephant,
, but they are thin and weak; the wild dogs have no time to take care of themselves and can only wander on the plateau; as for the buffaloes, they are carefree and harmless, and are content."
"So I think that although there are disputes among the five countries, peace for a hundred years can still be expected."
After saying that, Duan Yu smiled: "My humble opinion made my two brothers and Miss Wang laugh."
He Xie smiled: "Third brother is indeed optimistic and kind by nature. Second brother, what do you think?"
Qiao Feng shook his head: "My younger brother is not as optimistic as my third brother. I, the Beggar Gang, often work for the Song Dynasty, and I know that the Song Dynasty's army... let's not mention it! Xixia has long coveted the fertile land of the Song Dynasty, and Daliao has long been coveted by the Song Dynasty.
The Song Dynasty is watching with eager eyes. If the Beggar Gang had not assassinated several generals and princes who were leading the Liao Kingdom in recent years, I am afraid that the war between Song and Liao Kingdom would have been ignited long ago."
He paused and continued: "In my humble opinion, there will definitely be a war between Song and Liao within ten years! By then, Xixia will not be lonely and will join forces with Liao to attack Song. By then, I am afraid that even Tubo will come to share a piece of it.
So we can divide the land of the Song Dynasty. With the armament of the Song Dynasty, we will definitely be defeated, and we are afraid that we will give up the great mountains and rivers to our hands."
He finally sighed and said: "It's a pity that the people of the world are in such trouble."
Qiao Feng and Duan Yu are at two extremes, one is pessimistic and the other optimistic. It is inevitable that there will be suspicions of overgeneralization.
He Xie couldn't deny it. He glanced at Wang Yuyan and said, "Miss Wang, since it's the right time, why don't you also say it."
"Okay." Wang Yuyan didn't know how to be modest. When Qiao Feng and Duan Yu were talking about these things, she was thinking about it. As soon as He Xie said it, she agreed without thinking and poured out her thoughts.
.
"I think among the five kingdoms, Song and Liao are the strongest, followed by Xixia and Dali and Tubo," she said.
Duan Yu couldn't help but smile bitterly after hearing this.
The goddess called Dali "again", but he couldn't get angry at all.
"There will definitely be a battle between the two powers." Wang Yuyan continued, "But there will also be a casualty. The winners will probably be Xixia and Tubo, while Dali is in a corner and will only watch the fire from the other side. If there is a surprise attack at this time, I'm afraid
The mountains and rivers of the Great Song Dynasty will be shattered, and the country will be destroyed."
Although she spoke vaguely, He Xie knew that the "foreign army" she meant was Murong Fu.
It seems that this girl not only wanted to help Murong Fu in martial arts, but also thought a lot about the restoration of the country, otherwise she would not have blurted it out like this.
He Xie pondered slightly, knocked on the table, and spoke slowly: "What the two worthy brothers and Miss Wang said are not unreasonable, but you just speculated based on the current situation and failed to get to the root. If you want to know the final fate of the five countries,
Where it will go needs to be speculated based on the national characteristics of the five countries."
Qiao Feng and Duan Yu both clasped their fists: "I'd like to hear from you, big brother."
He Xie was not modest, but said directly: "Since Taizu, the Song Dynasty has worshiped literature and suppressed martial arts. Since the Chanyuan Alliance, Zhenzong, Renzong, and Yingzong had forgotten to fight and sent out troops. There were very few available troops, and
There are no permanent soldiers, and there are no permanent generals. It can be said that all military equipment is useless. From then on, the Song Dynasty was greedy for peace and paid tribute every year. If the Liao Dynasty is really determined to attack the Song Dynasty, I am afraid that the Song Dynasty has only one way to move south!"
When He Xie said this, the topic suddenly changed: "However, even if there is no foreign invasion, the national destiny of the Song Dynasty will probably not last long. Taizu released the military power with a glass of wine, appeased the soldiers with gold and silver from the fields, and made them disarm and return to the fields, and also established a land system
Without establishing or suppressing the national policy of annexation, for a hundred years, powerful officials and wealthy surnames have occupied unlimited land, and mergers and acquisitions have become a common practice. I am afraid that within a few years, the rich will have a promising field, and the poor will have no outstanding land.
Got it!"
These words made Duan Yu and Qiao Feng feel heavy in their hearts, but they didn't know how to refute them. They also knew history and knew that since ancient times, except for the pre-Qin period, the annexation of land was the fundamental reason why all dynasties and dynasties perished.
In fact, although the Song Dynasty is now wealthy, people with insight have already seen the crisis. Since the failure of Wang Jinggong's reform, the political situation of the Song Dynasty has been dark, with constant party disputes, depleted armaments, official corruption, and powerful gentry everywhere, and the people have long been in dire straits.
If it hadn't been for the rise of the Five Elements and Eight Works in the Song Dynasty, which prevented all farmers who lost their land from starving to death, I'm afraid they would have rebelled all over the country.
