Chapter 167: Civilization has always been elusive
Since Dong Zhongshu actively promoted "deposing hundreds of schools of thought and respecting Confucianism alone" and obtained the approval of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che, Confucian learning has Completely integrated into the blood of the Han people.
Among them, the most important thing is actually ethics.
Etiquette is a thing that determines human ethics.
From the titles between relatives to the etiquette of weddings and funerals, there are extremely strict definitions.
What is civilization?
Civilization means that when your father passes away, you remember him and bury him instead of roasting him on the fire and eating him!
What is civilization?
Civilization means that you know that you cannot marry or mate with your blood relatives, and a son cannot marry his mother or his own biological sister!
What is civilization?
Civilization means that if you want to have enough to eat, you have to work by yourself, if you want to wear clothes, you have to weave by yourself, and you have to cover your body parts with something and not be naked. Walking around the world with your body intact, you should have a sense of shame!
So, etiquette is actually a watershed that defines the difference between humans and beasts.
For thousands of years, ethics and ethics have become a guide for people's living standards.
Of course, this is the earliest etiquette. The later etiquette is very annoying. Groups of Confucian scholars deliberately added more behaviors to it in order to make everyone a model of Confucian behavior. specification.
Then the dregs came out.
The more these contents are filled in, the more constraints will be placed on human behavior.
Until Zhu Xi, after thoroughly carrying forward the ethics, ethics basically became a rat crossing the street that everyone shouted and beat.
Yun Zhao called Zhu Xi’s behavior superfluous.
If you think about it, you will understand that before the Ming Dynasty, although men and women also received some restrictions on their behavior, these restrictions were generally useful to society.
In that era, men and women were actually the main breadwinners of the family. In the Song Dynasty, women could even travel alone. If they were dissatisfied with their marriage, they could even divorce.
The ethics even make it clear - the way of husband and wife is to get together if there is righteousness, and to go if there is no righteousness.
It didn’t happen later...
By the Ming Dynasty, Confucianism had actually reached its end.
Once anything reaches the end of its development and does not know how to find new support points, decline is almost certain.
Confucianism’s restraint on human nature is very cruel and very effective.
The weakest link of Yushan New Learning is the restraint on human nature.
After all, in a school that values success, people can easily become people who do whatever it takes to pursue their goals.
Therefore, in the Yushan Imperial Court, although the policies issued were all bright, the methods used by the officials to do things were always inconsistent.It seems very sinister, which is why to this day, Yun Zhao still cannot take off his hat as a bandit.
Back then, the eight great bandits in the world were the eight poisonous dragons tumbling in the sky of the Ming Dynasty, just like the eight Gu worms raised by God in the bowl of the Ming Dynasty. Now, Yun Zhao has won and became the new Poison King. .
The reason why people have this impression of Yun Zhao has a lot to do with culture.
Because the Lantian people act like bandits, talk like bandits, and even look like bandits, so in the eyes of the people, they are bandits.
If you want to get rid of the label of thieves and bandits, you absolutely cannot do without the traditional culture that everyone is familiar with.
Since you can’t live without it, take the initiative to accept it.
Therefore, Yun Zhao adopted a new education method in Yun Xian’s education.
In other words, this is a big trend, a sign that the Lantian Imperial Court is no longer rejecting the old doctrine.
Yushan County, Jiangyun Tower.
Liu Rushi got up early in the morning. After seeing her daughter from the wet nurse, she cooked a pot of porridge herself, mixed it with some minced rice noodles and pickles and sent it back to the room.
Qian Qianyi had already gotten up and was sitting in front of the window combing his hair with a comb. When Liu Rushi came in, he smiled and said, "Is Winter Melon okay?"
Liu Rushi smiled and said: "It should be Dong Gua'er who greets the master."
Qian Qianyi shook his head and said: "Liu Rushi is wrong. This is an inverted year and a yellow bell." In the years when the earthenware cauldrons are destroyed and thunders are heard, there is no distinction between yin and yang, the four seasons are uncertain, thieves and bandits are high in the temples, and the doctor is hidden among the traders and lackeys.
Everyone is proud of his gains and ashamed of his losses. I don’t know that the loss is actually more shocking than the gain.”
Liu Rushi smiled and said, “Why do I see more smiling faces from those traffickers and lackeys?”
Qian Qian? Yi smiled and said: "That's what Dei is doing. It has to be said that Yun Zhao's governance has allowed the people to get more, and there are naturally more smiles on the people's faces. But he doesn't know that it is the nature of human beings to have insatiable desires. When a little When their gains cannot satisfy people's hearts, they will turn into demons and ask for more from the world."
Liu Rushi finished combing Qian Qianyi's hair and pinned it on the hosta. : "Could it be that the people have lost too much, and now that they have received it, it is a kind of compensation?"
Qian Qianyi chuckled and said: "Liu Rushi also believed in the propaganda of the Lantian Imperial Court. What kind of thing is that?"
Liu Rushi nodded and said: "The people's life was too hard during Zhu Ming's time." Qian Qianyi sighed and said: "After all, order is the key. The first one."
Liu Rushi said: "The flames of exploitation were everywhere, and eventually the ship sank. No one escaped punishment, and order no longer existed."
Qian Qian. Yi said: "Only moderation can protect oneself."
Liu Rushi smiled and said: "Is the master preparing to enter Guanzhong to teach the second prince?"
Qian Qianyi said: "The skin is ugly and tight."
Liu Rushi said again: "Master, you still decide to go, right?"
Qian Qianyi nodded and said: "The spring in Yushan is humid. You might as well go for a walk in Guanzhong."
Liu Rushi said with a smile, "You said the world is upside down again."
Qian Qianyi laughed and said, "It doesn't matter. Say hello to Dong Gua'er." Say hello, I’m in a good mood!”
The next day, Qian Qianyi took Liu Rushi and Dong Guaer to Lantian.
"Lantian Daily" was very concerned about Queen Qian Duoduo's request for a husband for her son. It published this news in the newspaper and wrote a commentator article, boldly guessing the candidate for the prince. .
Even though Lan Tian didn't have a good opinion of Qian Qianyi, everyone felt that Qian Qianyi had a high chance of becoming the prince's chief gentleman this time.
Early when Yun Zhao made this decision, both Xu Yuanshou and Zhang Xianliang were very dissatisfied with the decision. Xu Yuanshou came to Yun Zhao twice and found that he could not be allowed to change his approach.
So, Mr. Zhang Xianliang returned to Ningxia Town again, preparing to teach Yun Zhang personally.
Yun Zhao is still very satisfied with this result.
In May, Han Lingshan returned from the Uzang Plateau.
At this time, Hanlingshan was basically no different from the Us Tibetans, dark, strong, rough, and savage.
According to Han Lingshan, the chaos on the Uzang Plateau will continue for some time. After Lantian cleared out all the people and troops in Uzang, the people of Uzang spontaneously carried out vigorous land reform.
The results were very good, because with Living Buddha Morigen presiding over the work, every serf had his own piece of land.
The living Buddha Mo Rigen also conveyed Yun Zhao's will. From now on, there will be no slaves on the Uszang Plateau. Everyone is a free person who owns his own land, cattle and sheep.
This is a process like a grassland on fire, starting with Lhasa and then spreading in all directions from this point. The number of slaves participating in the rebel army is increasing, and their ranks are becoming more and more powerful.
Therefore, these people vigorously promoted slave reform, and the process of land reform became faster and faster.
These honest slaves did not realize that in this process, it was always those brothers who looked like Han people who played an important role.
Once any Uzang brother has a certain prestige, they will always die in a fierce or not fierce battle with the slave master.
And this is the degree of control Yun Zhao requires.
“I plan to establish a legion of about 20,000 people in Uzang. This legion will become the most powerful protector of the people of Uzang, whether it is enemies from the Western Regions or from The enemies of Nepal will all be the enemies of this Uzbek Army.”
After hearing Han Lingshan’s words, Yun Zhao thought for a moment and said.In other words, a Uzang can no longer satisfy you, right? "
Han Lingshan said: "Uszang is a lonely plateau, but around it is a land of fish and rice with a mild climate and abundant water. Now that we have occupied the Uzang Plateau, our condescending advantageous position cannot be wasted.
Moreover, I also found that people around Uzang generally seemed not very smart. I think we have a responsibility to tell these people what a truly civilized life is. "
Yun Zhao smiled and said: "Use the army? "
Han Lingshan nodded and said: "This is the best way to deal with them. ”
Yun Zhao said: “Then let’s wait for the meeting to decide.” ”
It can be seen that Han Lingshan has two main tasks to deal with the aftermath of Uzang.
One is to select the strongest and most obedient warriors from among the rebels. , compile and train into the Blue Sky Army.
The other is to prepare a strategy to replace the Tao Zang.
Uzang's flames are now beyond control.
Recruiting the strongest fighters from the rebel army into the regular army can effectively disintegrate and deter some people with bad intentions, and at the same time make some ambitious people stop their own small ideas.
In Ukraine. When the war in Tibet cannot stop, consciously guiding the remaining rebels to the Western Regions or Nepal is a very good option.
When these Tibetans taste the real plunder zone. After the benefits come, the Us Tibetans may become brave and capable Tubo people again.
And those Us Tibetans who have truly become warriors will become the guardians of this land. , Of course, the people in this legion will naturally be mainly Us Tibetans, but it is difficult for the officers to say.
“This is where we failed. "
After reading Han Lingshan's overall plan, Yun Zhao couldn't help but sigh.
"You mean it's not fair enough? "
"Yes, I always feel that we are a little sneaky in what we do now. This is not what a country should be like. ”
