What is Conquest? What is the real conquest?

Relying on his fist to be big and hard, and smashing the other party hard, is this considered a conquest? Maybe this is the case in the eyes of many people, but in Lu Ren's opinion, this Nima is! Because a large number of historical materials have already told Lu Ren that the conquest achieved by relying solely on force is not a conquest at all, or an incomplete conquest. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 In order to achieve true conquest, in addition to achieving military hegemony, we also need the spiritual aggression of the cultural system...... Well, it can also be understood as brainwashing.

For example, after Qin swept away the Six Kingdoms with powerful force, because he did not realize the problem of cultural and ideological unity, he blindly pursued and superstitious power and violence, and the result was soon short-lived. Of course, most people think that this is the result of Qin Shi Huang's great success, and he does not know the result of treating the people well and recuperating the national strength, but it is not difficult to find that the Qin Dynasty actually did not have the core idea of culture, and later scholars also criticized that the Qin Dynasty's statecraft was to raise the people as pigs.

If you still don't understand, you can take a look at the next Han Dynasty. In the early days of the Han Dynasty, in addition to recuperating and alleviating social contradictions, the most important thing was to grasp the unity and dissemination of culture and thought, so that the people's thoughts had a sense of identity and conversion, which made the people gradually cohesion.

Don't think it's something mysterious and deceitful. Really look carefully at the popular concept in the early Han Dynasty, it is not difficult to find that the people at that time were still very biased towards the feudal system of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, to put it bluntly, everyone still thinks that the world should be divided into how many candidate countries, like Xiang Yu after the destruction of Qin How many kings, in fact, this kind of thinking is making trouble.

In the early days of the Western Han Dynasty, this kind of thinking still occupied the mainstream. It is said that the Han inherited the Qin system, and the inheritance is precisely the imperial county system that was implemented in the Qin Dynasty, until Liu Bang established the Western Han Dynasty and inherited this system, and did not dare to completely abandon the feudal system, the biggest reason is that the people's thoughts have not yet reached a unity, so Liu Bang played a side ball on this issue very smoothly, both the "White Horse Alliance" of the "non-Liu surname is not the king", and the gradual implementation of the county system, and after the conditions are ripe, the territory of the kings will be slowly reduced.

Some people may say that what does this have to do with the cultural and ideological unity of the early Han Dynasty? The answer is that while the feudal system still exists, the purpose of cultural and ideological unification is to make the broad masses of the people identify themselves as the people of the Han Dynasty, not the people of the feudal kings. This is a very important matter, because after the people's ideology is unified, if those feudal kings want to make some trouble, they will not be recognized by the people.

This can also be an example. The root cause of the rebellion of the Seven Kings in the Wenjing period was to cut the domain, and after the rebellion of King Wu, who provoked the head, a certain hero in his territory ...... This so-called heroic man is actually the predecessor of the gate lord wealthy family, and this heroic man ideologically identifies with the Han court, so immediately after the rebellion of King Wu, he went to the official army to quell the rebellion, and made a very good start to deal with the rebellion of the seven kings.

Now let's take a look at the ideological core of the Han Dynasty's adoption. In the early Han Dynasty, Lao Zhuang's "Dao" was adopted, which had a lot to do with the need for recuperation in the early Han Dynasty, so it was necessary to "do nothing" with the people, and then the people were naturally willing to identify with the Han Dynasty without being harassed by the harsh government and living a better life.

Next, of course, is Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty's "Confucianism". In fact, in addition to the need for political struggle by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the Western Han Dynasty did need a core idea to consolidate it after decades of "inaction", otherwise if this "inaction" continued, the people might become a plate of scattered sand. Although in the eyes of later generations, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty's "exclusive Confucianism" is very similar to the taste of literary prison, but in fact, in that era, such a unity was needed. There are two sides to everything, and you can't just look at one side.

After the Han Dynasty reached the unity of cultural thought and ideology, it truly achieved a comprehensive unity, and it had a huge impact on later generations. Why is the main body of China like the later generations called the "Han" people? Does this "Han" refer to the national meaning of blood? No! This is the "Han" of cultural thought and ideology! And the "Han nationality" of later generations, do you know how many blood-type ethnic groups have actually been fused?

Not only in China, but also in the world. There are many ancient civilizations in the world, and many of them once flourished with powerful force, but how many have really survived to the present? If you take a closer look at the ancient civilizations that have not been handed down, it is not difficult to find that they all have one thing in common, that is, they have not been able to fully spread their own cultural ideas and ideologies. And why is this happening? The reason is that their princes and nobles regard cultural knowledge as a tool for their own interests, and refuse to let ordinary people get their hands on it. In other words, what should have been spread out across the board became the prerogative of the princes, nobles, and priestly classes.

For example, in ancient Egypt, their culture could not be fully spread out, and it became the privilege of the aristocracy. What was the result of Egypt in the end? It was they who only knew that they had a glorious ancestor, but in modern society they did not know which system of civilization they should belong to, and finally they were incorporated into the Arab sequence. But does Egyptian religion actually have anything to do with the Arab clan system?

For example, Greece and Rome, these two civilization systems are basically the same thing, and their cultural systems are considered to have been spread out in the past, so they are recognized until modern times. However, they also made the mistake of aristocratic privilege in their later years, and were finally exploited by the more popular and commoner Christianity. The later civilization ideology of Europe can basically be regarded as the civilization ideology of Christianity. But then again, European scholars basically agree that Greek civilization is the cradle of European civilization, and Roman civilization is, in a sense, actually the successor of Greek civilization. Greek gods and Roman gods are almost the same thing, but they are called differently.

Well, that's all there is to it. And it is precisely because Lu Ren is aware of these problems, coupled with the limitations of many of his own software and hardware conditions, that he does not advocate excessive military conquest, and often adopts a soft knife type of cultural aggression.

For example, at this moment, why did Tuoba Yu propose to the patriarchs that they select the smart and studious children of the clan to study at Yizhou Academy? To put it bluntly, it is actually necessary to move the knife from their cultural ideology. Of course, if you insist on trying to shoehorn your own cultural ideas here, it is obviously impossible, so you should throw out the incense bait that "can make your life richer and more stable", let you take the initiative to come and learn, and then slowly stuff what I want to stuff you into your mind.

On the other hand, Xianbei itself is one of the ethnic minorities that has been completely integrated by the Han people, and according to the information collected by Lu Ren over the years, the Xianbei tribe is a nomadic people who are more inclined to Han culture, and there will be no too high resistance to them, but it is like the Xiongnu and Karasuma, who were relatively powerful nomads at that time, who have a great resistance to Han culture. This is also one of the reasons why Lu Ren did not spare Karasuma, but was quite patient with Xianbei.

And at this time, after listening to Tuoba Yu's words, the patriarchs all thought of the same question:

"Jade girl, do you want protons?"

Proton is to take hostages.

Tuoba Yu smiled indifferently at this: "Hostage? How can you think that? Didn't I just say that? Anyone in your clan, as long as he is a smart and studious person, can come, and it doesn't matter what bloodline or status is. As long as you are willing to learn, even if you are a slave or a subordinate of your clan, you can come. It's just that the people who are looked down upon and enslaved in your clan will be willing to return to your clan and continue to be enslaved by you after learning the real skills in Yizhou, I don't dare to guarantee this.

"In the case of all of you, if you have the ability to be valued and respected by others, are you willing to be a slave who is not valued by others? I don't want to say anything else, whether it's a good thing or a bad thing, I believe you know it in your own hearts, and Lu Yizhou and I will never force this matter, whether you are willing to send someone to Yizhou to study, you make your own decisions. ”

Saying that, Tuoba Yu picked up the wine glass and toasted to everyone who was both generous and amorous, and then smiled: "But you might as well say ugly things first." When the lives of other tribes are getting better and more prosperous, you don't have to say that I haven't given you such a chance. However, I can assure you here that the person who went to study in Yizhou was definitely not a hostage taken by me and Lu Yizhou. ”

The patriarchs looked at each other again, and at this time, there were a few small patriarchs who had already deliberately and completely turned to Tuoba Yu, and then expressed to Tuoba Yu that they were willing to send their clansmen to study in Yizhou. And after someone took the lead in this matter, those who wavered also began to think about it, saying that it is not very important for us to send a few people there, since they have become hostages, what does it matter if they are in the past?

So, a bunch of patriarchs agreed one after another, and the next banquet was naturally dispersed.

Yizhou, Mangjia.

Lu Ren held the telegram that Zhao Yu took back in his hand, smiled and put a heavy row on the table: "Well done!" After Tuoba Yu sent these people to Yizhou, it was basically certain that these tribes had fallen under our command. ”

Xun Yu on the side nodded, but he still couldn't help but ask with some concern: "Yihao, it's a good thing that these tribes are willing to surrender to us, but there is one thing I can't put my mind at ease." This Liaoxi, Liaodong, and Fuyu are all bitter cold places in the north, which are far from the warm climate of Yizhou. Isn't the farming method you taught them feasible in that bitter cold land? If it is not feasible, and those tribes do not get the sweetness they deserve, won't it be ...... then"

Lu Renle was happy. In fact, it is not unreasonable for Xun Yu to have this kind of worry, after all, according to the concept of people at that time, the bitter cold land in the north is not suitable for farming at all, so it is also considered a barren land over there.

But Lu Ren knew that it wasn't like that at all. In the Han Dynasty, Liaoxi, Liaodong, and Fuyu, the geographical location of the great supremacy was the three northeastern provinces of Liaoning, Jilin and Heilongjiang in later generations. Among these three lands, Jilin and Heilongjiang have little hope for the time being, so we can put it aside for the time being, and the main thing to deal with at present is the entire Liaoning Province in eastern Liaoning and western Liaoning.

And what is the head of Liaoning Province? Among the three northeastern provinces, Liaoning is the area with better hydrothermal conditions and better development of reclamation industry. At that time, it may be difficult for people to develop Liaoning, but it is not difficult for Lu Ren, a guy who has opened a golden finger.

What does Liaoning's agriculture produce? Corn, rice, sorghum, millet, soybeans, cotton, peanuts, tobacco, etc., as long as they are planted properly, the yield is very good.

And you must know that Liaoning Province in later generations is one of the largest silkworm producing areas and fruit producing areas in China, such as apples, and the export volume in later generations accounts for three-quarters of the country, but the production of apples is mainly in the Liaodong Peninsula, which is still the territory of the Gongsun family, and it has to be taken down later.

Then there is the output of garden ginseng, deer antler velvet and prawn in Liaoning, which also ranks second in the country. Anyway, Liaoning is a treasure land, and there is no need to worry about agricultural reclamation.

In addition, Liaoning is an important industrial base in China in later generations, and is rich in all kinds of mineral resources, such as iron, diamond, magnesium, boron, talc, boron, jade, and its mineral reserves are in the first place, coal, oil, natural gas, and radioactive minerals in terms of energy...... Far away, where are the radioactive minerals that Lu Ren dares to touch at the current point? But oil and gas, hehe! Think too much, think too much!

Anyway, in Lu Ren's YY, after starting in the territory of Liaoning and stabilizing the foothold with agricultural development, it is necessary to use Liaoning's rich mineral resources to vigorously develop industry. At present, I only have the industrial center of Yizhou, although it can cope with it, but there will always be a lot of restrictions in terms of resource supply, population base, etc. And to develop Liaoning and respond to each other with Yizhou and other places, many things will be much more convenient.

Of course, the current Lu Ren will not be enthusiastic, and at the same time, he knows very well that his road is just the beginning, and the road after that will go on step by step.
