"Han Tang!" Zhou Yu and Zhang Xun said almost in unison.
"Why?" A smile crossed Luo Xin's lips.
"What else?" Zhou Yu said in a condensed voice: "During the Han and Tang dynasties, all countries surrendered. ”
"Why do all nations submit?" Luo Xin continued to ask.
"Whoever doesn't accept it will be convinced!" Zhang Xun said with a blushing face.
"Do you rely on us literati to fight?" Luo Xin said lightly.
"This ......"
Zhou Yu and Luo Xin were stunned, and Zhou Yu said with some dissatisfaction: "The warriors open up the territory to protect the country, and the literati govern the world." Now the people of the Ming Dynasty live and work in peace and contentment, this is the credit of our literati, and the Ming Dynasty is disturbed by the frontier, which is the dereliction of duty of the warriors. ”
Luo Xin shook his head lightly and said, "May I ask Brother Zhou, what is the difference between the Han and Tang literati and the Ming literati today?" ”
"What's the difference?" Zhou Yu asked in a strange voice. Zhang Xun also asked puzzled.
That literati in the Han and Tang dynasties didn't practice martial arts? That literati can't kill the enemy on the battlefield? Did the literati of the Han and Tang dynasties look down on the martial artists?
Zhou Yu and Zhang Xun were silent, in fact, they also knew in their hearts that the reason why the Han and Tang dynasties were strong was inseparable from the martial arts, and at that time, the status of the martial artists was not only not as low as it is now, but also surpassed the literati. Whether it is Wei Qing or Li Jing, there is no literati in the Han and Tang dynasties whose status surpasses them.
"At that time in the Han and Tang Dynasties, it was just an ordinary peddler pawn who saw those feudal people on the street looking down at them with their heads held high, looking at the Ming Dynasty today, but it was the other way around, those feudal people held their heads high in our Ming land, while our Ming people became cautious." Luo Xin said leisurely.
"But ......" Zhou Yu distinguished: "The martial arts are in chaos!" ”
Luo Xin looked at Zhou Yu beside him sincerely and said, "Have you seen the dynasty that will last forever?" ”
"This ......"
"Believe in my brother's words!" Zhang Xun said worriedly.
"Nothing!" Luo Xin waved his hand and said, "This is the three of us brothers, and I won't tell others." ”
Zhou Yu was moved when he heard this, Luo Xin regarded himself as a brother! So he no longer hesitated: "No, there is no dynasty for eternity." ”
"So this has nothing to do with the chaos of the martial arts. But there is one thing that has to do with the samurai. ”
"Which point?"
"If the status of the warriors is no worse than that of the literati, if the warriors of a country are strong, then even if the previous dynasty perished, the next dynasty will still be our people, but it will be a different dynasty. It's like a family changing a patriarch, maybe a side branch replaces a lineage. As the saying goes, the people are the water, the king is the boat, and the water can carry the boat and overturn the boat. The next king will not slaughter the city, because he knows that the people are his people, his kindred.
But!
If the status of a country's warriors is low, it leads to a weak warrior. Then it's not as simple as a person of the same race changing a dynasty, and will be trampled by the iron hooves of the alien race, presumably the two brothers have read the history of the Yuan Dynasty slaughtering 10 million households in the Central Plains to the point that only a few hundred thousand households remain, right?
It's not just a massacre, it's a massacre that has cut off our heritage and burned our precious texts! ”
Luo Xin sighed again and said: "And Song is a martial artist has a low status, and he has almost no dignity in front of the literati. And the Yuan was also the first dynasty in history to be successfully invaded by foreign races. Isn't that worth the alarm? ”
Zhou Yu and Zhang Xun were not ordinarily affected at this time, they had never heard of Luo Xin's thoughts, and the edification they received since childhood was that they were vulgar martial artists. But now think about what Luo Xin said, and then think about the records in history, are those famous generals in history vulgar?
If you think about it at a deeper level, which founding emperor was not a martial artist? Was there a pure literati who became the founding emperor?
The country is defeated!
This sentence suddenly appeared in the hearts of Zhou Yu and Zhang Xun.
That...... Why did the status of the warriors take a sharp turn for the worse once the country was conquered at the beginning of the Song Dynasty?
Warriors chaos in the country!
This sentence came back to the two of them.
A layer of fine sweat broke out on the bodies of the two of them!
It turns out that martial artists are not vulgar, and martial artists are not inherently inferior. All this is the emperor's needs, he is afraid that the martial arts will disrupt the country, and it is under the emperor's deliberate guidance that the status of the martial artists is caused today. If there is a big war on that day, the literati ......
The status of this literati and martial arts turned out to be between the emperor's backhand, but it is ridiculous that he has always thought that literati are inherently noble, and martial artists are inherently vulgar!
"If you look at today's literati, they are all industrious, they are stupid when they read, they are helpless, and they are useless. Today's literati have pushed themselves to a pathological position. Among the six arts, etiquette, music, archery, royalty, calligraphy, and mathematics, how many people still abide by them, and how many people still practice? Nowadays, people who read books just go to learn the rites, music, and books. Does anyone still learn to shoot, win, and count?
Not to mention archery, how many of today's scholars can ride horses? If there is another national war like the Yuan invasion of the Song Dynasty, let alone lifting a sword to kill the enemy, I'm afraid you won't even be able to escape, right? ”
"Brother Xin......" Zhou Yu's expression was a little hesitant, and finally gritted his teeth and asked, "Do you say that our Ming Dynasty will suffer a disaster like Song?" ”
Luo Xin said, will it? Definitely!
He remembered the history of the fall of the Ming Dynasty and the record of the slaughter of Yangzhou in ten days after the Qing Dynasty entered the customs. A dynasty that does not respect the warriors, a dynasty where the warriors have no status, how can the country not be ruined?
"This goes on ......"
Luo Xin said this, and he was not strict. But Zhou Yu and Zhang Xun had already paid attention to what he meant, and their faces couldn't help but become extremely pale.
"Southern...... The harassment of the pirates continued......" Luo Xin said softly.
"Small country!" Zhou Yu pouted disdainfully.
"yes!" Luo Xin sighed: "It's just a small country, so we have no way." If the future of the North ......"
"North?" Zhou Yu was stunned and said, "There is no big threat to the Ming Dynasty in the north today, right?" ”
Luo Xin sighed in his heart, where do you know the Jurchen!
But......
There's really no way to say this kind of thing, and no one will believe it.
"We'll see!" Luo Xin said sullenly.
The room fell silent, and after a half-ring, Zhou Yu said, "Do you agree with Brother Qing to join the army?" ”
Luo Xin grinned and said, "What if I don't agree? Don't say it's me, but what if my father doesn't agree? You don't know that my eldest brother is strong! And I don't think there's anything wrong with that, I'm from Wen, and my eldest brother is from Wu. ”
The room fell silent again, and Zhang Xun suddenly sighed and said, "Brother Qing's road is not easy to walk!" It is full of hardships and dangers. Not only must you charge into battle, but you must also beware of the literati behind you......"
