Five hundred and sixtieth chapters overthrow everything
"Nowadays, most of the land in the Song Dynasty is in the hands of the princes and wealthy families. The people have no choice but to practice martial arts to strengthen themselves, which has led to the rise of martial arts. The warriors refuse to obey the government's discipline and occupy mountains and enclosures, or establish sects.
, self-sufficient, or roaring in the mountains and forests, causing trouble in all directions!"
"But no matter whether it is a sect or a mountain village, they do not pay taxes. In fact, it is of no benefit to the country. The court is unable to attack, so they have to live in peace. However, the country is weak, which is already a serious problem. In my opinion, the Song Dynasty will not last more than ten years, or the Northern Territory
They were all divided up by foreign tribes, and the Song Dynasty moved south. Or, internal and external troubles arose, and the country was completely destroyed." He Xie said in the end.
Although He Xie is a bit exaggerated, it is not too exaggerated to say that the Song Dynasty will usher in the humiliation of Jingkang in another thirty-four years.
Neither Duan Yu nor Qiao Feng refuted, but their expressions were solemn.
Those who were born and raised here know what the Song Dynasty is like. They are just boiling frogs in warm water. They were born into this environment, and they have become numb.
In many cases, the ancients were not ignorant, but they were caught in a torrent and were unable to change.
"Let's talk about Daliao," He Xie continued, "Daliao was founded by force. Since the Chanyuan Alliance, there has been no war for nearly a hundred years, which has led to the ruin of the military system and the extravagant enjoyment of nobles. However, around Daliao, the Black Tatar tribes and
The Black Water Jurchen has a strong army and is already on the rise, and these grassland tribes all hate Daliao. If there is internal chaos in Daliao at this time, it may be a sign of annihilation!"
Qiao Feng and Duan Yu looked stern at the same time. This was the first time they had heard of this argument. Historically, Daliao had always been a high mountain above the other four countries. It was hard to imagine that Daliao would suddenly perish.
In fact, the Liao Kingdom fell two years earlier than the Northern Song Dynasty. At this time, Wanyan Aguda had already assembled a team of a thousand people and was fighting in the east and west to expand his tribal territory. Thirty-two years later, his
The son took over the war hammer and sounded the death knell of the Liao Kingdom with his own hands. In another two years, the Jurchens basically brought down the entire Song Dynasty royal family.
"As for Xixia, this country is very militaristic and its government has always been chaotic." He Xie shook his head, "Xixia is adjacent to the grassland, and everyone in the country is good at fighting. As the saying goes, how can we allow others to snore on the side of the bed? It is only a matter of time for this country to perish."
In fact, Xixia persisted for a long time. Genghis Khan fought for twenty-two years before completely destroying Xixia. He himself died in Liupan Mountain. This shows that the Dangxiang people are really good at fighting.
Moreover, the vitality of Xixia is also very tenacious. After the destruction of Xixia, some Xixia people traveled thousands of miles and settled in Shu. They established a small political power called "Western Wu". It was not until the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty that they were completely eliminated.
"It has been more than a hundred years since the Tibetan tribes were divided. Now that the esoteric religion is prevalent and the forces of each tribe are balanced, I am afraid that the situation will continue for a long time." He Xie continued.
At this time, Tubo was a collective name for many tribes. In fact, there was no unified political power at all.
Jiu San Lao Niu coaxed that he was the Tubo National Preceptor, but in fact he was just the "National Preceptor" of one of the small tribes. The so-called "Da Lun Ming King" was also canonized by the leader of this tribe.
It's just that this person is very good at packaging himself. When he meets people, he tells people that he is big, or even top three. Over time, everyone feels that he is bluffing.
"From top to bottom in Tubo, everyone works for the Buddha. The common people only have one gold, one silver, or even a needle and a thread, and they all use it to worship the monks. It is really miserable. Once the battle situation in the Central Plains grassland is clear, the winner does not need to spend a single soldier.
He can summon all the Tibetan tribes to surrender."
When He Xie said this, Duan Yu felt a little guilty, because his country in Dali worshiped Buddhism too much. Dali has been neglecting military affairs all year round, cultivating health and recuperating, but the treasury is still empty. The reason is that the ancestors of all generations have built Buddhist temples and spent all their money.
about there.
Think about the Shenjie Temple that He Xie went to before. In such a remote place, there is such a luxurious Buddhist temple. Compared with the Song Dynasty, in addition to the smaller area, it is even inferior to the Shaolin Temple in terms of luxury.
As for Dali Tianlong Temple, if it weren't for its poor reputation, its title as the No. 1 temple in the world would really have nothing to do with Shaolin.
Next, He Xie talked about Dali.
"Dali..." He Xie glanced at Duan Yu, "Third brother, please forgive me for speaking nonsense. The mountains and rivers of the Song Dynasty are shattered, and Dali will no longer be able to protect the country."
Duan Yu smiled bitterly: "Brother, don't worry about it. I, Dali, rely on the Song Dynasty for my survival. How could I not know?"
In fact, Dali was destroyed earlier than the Southern Song Dynasty.
However, the Duan family survived and was named the general manager of Dali by the Mongols. It was not until the period of Zhu Yuanzhang that the Duan family's rule over Dali ended.
It lasts for a hundred years, or as short as a few decades, and the cycle goes on and on, but it never stops?"
"Among the various ethnic groups, either you will kill me or I will kill you. They have always hated each other and fought against each other. Since ancient times, how many ethnic groups have been wiped out due to wars? Will the Song Dynasty do the same one day?"
These words made Qiao Feng and the other three people shudder. It was hard for them to imagine the doomsday scene He Xie described.
"The people suffered when they prospered, and when they died, the people also suffered!" He Xie said pitifully, "It's a pity that for thousands of years, the only lesson people have learned from history is that people will not learn lessons from history at all! What if it happened again?
Wu Huanhua is afraid that every inch of these mountains and rivers is filled with the flesh and blood of the dead souls."
The three of them were silent for a long time.
Wang Yuyan imagined the scene He Xie was talking about and couldn't help biting her lips and turning pale.
She was thinking that at that time, the mountains and rivers were shattered and countless innocent souls were wailing. Among them, would there be a cousin covered in blood and laughing?
"When people prosper, people suffer, and when they die, people also suffer..." Duan Yu tasted this sentence, and the more he felt it, the more flavor he felt. He couldn't help but sigh, "Brother is really a Bodhisattva."
But what Qiao Feng appreciated even more was the awkward sentence "For thousands of years, the only lesson people have learned from history is that people will not learn lessons from history at all."
He was silent for a long time, looked at He Xie and asked slowly: "Brother, have you thought of a way to achieve eternal peace?"
As soon as these words came out, Duan Yu and Wang Yuyan were shocked and looked at He Xie.
"That's right!" He Xie looked solemn and said slowly, "Thousands of years of history tell me that the imperial dynasty cannot bring peace to the world, let alone the well-being of the people. If you want long-term peace and stability, you can only overthrow everything in this world!"
These words were like a thunderclap, causing the expressions of the three people in front of them to change drastically, making them horrified and frightened.
"Brother, you..." Duan Yu said in shock, his voice trembling.
However, Qiao Feng looked solemn and stretched out his hand to stop Duan Yu. He stared at He Xie and asked slowly: "How to overthrow it?"
