If we only talk about the issue of these two fathers and sons, Confucianism can also do it. If New Learning only stays at the level of wise kings and wise ministers, then there will be no qualitative difference between New Learning and Confucianism. At most it is just a more fancy upgraded version of Confucianism.
A story must have characters, and it is natural to tell it around the characters to attract people.
This kind of political analysis based on script materials always needs to go deeper.
Because there were no wise kings and wise ministers in the Liao Dynasty, but at the same time, the straight women of the Jin Dynasty, who started out based on the Seven Hatreds, had wise kings
The first to bear the brunt was the tyrannical Jin Jingzu Although Wanyan Wugunai was a brave man, he was a murderer. In the later period, he massacred a large number of Khitans and Han people in the grain-free Liaodong in order to save food and reduce rebellion to survive the food crisis caused by bad weather.
After Jin Jingzu was Jin Shizu Wanyan Gailibo. His cruelty is even greater than that of his father. His father only killed people with his sword, and he initially established Meng'an Mouke's restraint. Ordinary people, whether Khitan or Han, were all slaves of Meng'an Mouke. Either drive or kill, it all depends on the mood of Meng An Mouke. From then on, the Nüzhi people did not rob gold and silver in wars, but only robbed Khitan and Han children as slaves. However, there was little food in Liaodong, and these landless Khitan Han children would not be able to survive without their slave owners.
This led to the fact that the more the Nüzhi people destroyed Liaodong, the more Khitan and Han slaves lost their land in Liaodong. Once these people lose their land, they can only live by relying on their Meng'an Muke. Meng'an Mooke, on the other hand, trained his slaves to participate in plundering together, and only by obtaining food and grass could he support his slaves. This is why many people who were beaten by straight women and whose families were ruined still fought hard to die in the war. Because if they don’t die, their slave families left behind will starve to death.
Once Xiao died and gained military merit, he also became a straight woman and became a murderer. He could have his own slaves, so he worked even harder.
Can such a prince be considered a wise king?
Even the Jin Taizu who completed the founding of the Jin Dynasty, although his military skills were unmatched in the world, he was equally good at governing the country and bringing peace to the people. Just like his grandfather for three generations. Meng An Mo Ke was also institutionalized by him.
It can be said that almost all the kings from the founding of the Jin Dynasty and before were tyrants who were like the reincarnation of the devil, and were completely incompatible with the Mingjun.
However, such a tyrant and tyrant actually defeated Daliao, which had a history of nearly two hundred years and was once more prosperous than Bianjing. Emperor Tianzuo, who was the strongest in the province, also ended up being shrouded in horse leather. What's the point?
At the same time, let's look at the offensive style of the three founding kings of the Jin Dynasty. In the beginning, Jingzu Wanyan Wugunai basically just plundered. All kinds of people were robbing food, goods and people along Daliao and Tokyo.
Later, Jin Taizu Wanyan Aguda completely upgraded to murder. Two hundred thousand people were killed in Liaoyang, Tokyo, and only 600 monks were left to carry the bodies.
The Jin Dynasty established its authority by killing people and driving border residents to flee to Beijing and the interior.
To attack is to kill. The more you kill, the better. The more you kill, the better.The more people know about it, the better.
Due to the transformation of the northern courtyard into the southern courtyard, mobility is lost. The tribes were already extremely crowded, and now the people on the front lines were retreating, which directly caused the tribal city lords in the rear to be in short supply of food and grass before they even started fighting. The shortage of food and grass also further worsened the war readiness of the second-line tribes. When the second-line tribes were defeated and a large number of people retreated to Zhongjing. Before the war started, Zhongjing's food reserves were already insufficient to last for a month.
So, in fact, before the battle started, Emperor Tianzuo in Zhongjing was already destined to lose.
Comparison can be found. The female straight people of the Jin Dynasty had a positive feedback and low-cost military mobilization system, and this system was not afraid of losing the battle. Because of the chaos in the internal affairs, it is impossible to survive without fighting. Regardless of victory or defeat, they will plunder outwards. This is why it has always been popular in the Jin Dynasty that growing grain is not as good as growing beans. Just plant beans to withstand drought and cold, and raise fat war horses to rob Daliao.
And Daliao is completely trapped in a high-cost negative feedback loop. A group of civil and military eunuchs with little experience and mutual constraints led the defense. There were corpses everywhere in the front, and there was a shortage of food and grass in the rear even before the expedition started. The ruined tribes are highly dependent on food trafficking. The reluctance of the grain merchants and gentry to sell directly caused the grain to reach sky-high prices. The military expenditures allocated by Emperor Tianzuo based on the grain prices in Beijing could not buy a few kilo of grain in Tokyo.
The novice civil and military team up with the arrogant eunuch. If he loses or makes mistakes, he will be punished and beheaded as a warning to others. It is difficult to accumulate experience. Those who are not held accountable are all cliques and cliques, and the experiences they leave behind are life-saving experiences. The emperor was still eager for success and wished that Liao would be defeated in five years and Liao would be defeated in three years. Therefore, the civil and military eunuchs of the Manchu Dynasty could only rely on deception to maintain superficial peace. When the Jin army attacked Zhongjing, Emperor Tianzuo truly understood for the first time that the situation was irreversible. Especially when you realize that all the officials are trying to please the Jin army and serve the dragon. He no longer even dares to kill people to establish his authority which he used to do in the past. Please remember to collect it, the latest and fastest website is free to read without anti-theft
