Thank you to the Dang Han brothers for the two monthly tickets!

The emergence of 2,000 years of feudalism is actually derived from Marx's unscientific classification and distribution, which simply applied the time period to place the European time period on top of China, making the 2,000-year feudal statement deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

The term feudalism was first used to describe the status quo of medieval European society, in Europe at that time, countries were like China during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the so-called king was like the Son of Heaven of the Zhou Dynasty, in most of the time, it was just a general storage zài like the lord of the martial arts alliance, under which there were many lords with independent rights such as taxation, military power, personnel appointment and dismissal, just like the various princes and princes of the Zhou Dynasty.

Of course, when the Vikings were later the Danes, they invaded European countries from the sea, and they were frightened to break away from the barbarian dialect in the name of religion and feudalism.

And in order to guard against Viking pirates who come and go, the various lords of European countries have built castles of all sizes, so to guard against Viking pirates, again, the feudal state or feudal secession, it can be said that the castles of all sizes have once again been angry and have a sense of survival.

However, in this period of European history, the land of China has already entered the strong Tang Dynasty, and the centralization of power reached its peak in the Tang Dynasty, and the conquest of the Tang Army can be said to be blossoming in all directions.

Needless to say, the destruction of several small countries on the peninsula, even the ancient Western Regions and even Central Asian countries were mostly destroyed under the Tang army.

The orders of the emperor of the Tang Dynasty can be passed from Chang'an to Central Asia, and the emperor of the Tang Dynasty has an elite army of nearly one million people, and the majesty of the imperial power has finally gotten rid of the frequent changes of government due to the chaos of the five Hu and the frequent changes of the government due to the big family.

If we also say that the Tang Dynasty at that time was a so-called feudal society. Then Tang Taizong will probably jump out of the grave.

Of course, feudal secession can be described as a derogatory term in later generations, but it is not easy to say now, at least in Cao Cao's view, feudal secession. In fact, it is one of the earliest means to maintain the longevity of a dynasty for a long time.

The most famous dynasty in ancient China is undoubtedly the 800 years of the Zhou Dynasty, and none of the later dynasties can surpass the Zhou Dynasty, even the Han Dynasty of more than 400 years.

After all, the real lifespan of the Han Dynasty was only more than two hundred years. Although the Western Han Dynasty and the Eastern Han Dynasty were both Liu royal families, with the demise of the orthodox Emperor Wu of the Western Han Dynasty, the lifespan of the Western Han Dynasty was only more than 200 years, and the next Eastern Han Dynasty could only be regarded as a new dynasty re-established on the ruins of the Western Han Dynasty.

The dynasties after the Zhou Dynasty will not survive for more than three hundred years, and the real reasons are varied, such as the emperor's mediocrity and land annexation. Warlords sit big and so on, but in the final analysis, the root cause of this qiē is nothing more than the uneven distribution of power, the so-called people do not suffer from the few but suffer from the unequal, and that's it.

The destruction and rebirth of successive dynasties is just a centralization, shuffling, and redistribution of power, but with the passage of time, power will inevitably be concentrated in the hands of a few, and so on. It is the moment when the dynasty is present to destroy the miè.

After the Qin Dynasty completed the great unification, land was relegated to the lowest level as a commodity to be freely traded, and according to the inertia of the concentration of power in the hands of a few, land annexation would be inevitable.

And after the Qin Dynasty. Due to the reason of the great unification, the family world became the mainstream, and the dynasty collected taxes according to the land, which was equivalent to concentrating all the hidden dangers brought about by the land annexation on the state machinery of the dynasty. As long as there is another natural disaster**, and the central government of the dynasty cannot react, then the peasants and people who have been resentful for a long time, those who have long been unable to eat, will set off an uprising.

After all, since you can't eat enough, it has become normal to fight to overthrow those dynasties that oppress yourself and others, and in Chinese history, the huge peasant uprisings in the past dynasties, such as the Yellow Turban, the Red Turban, etc., are almost all because of this.

Before the Qin Dynasty, the rules of the Zhou Dynasty's Son of Heaven Anzhou Xia and Shang dynasties divided the land of the world into meritorious ministers, and the land that really belonged to the rule of the Zhou Dynasty was actually very little, most of the time, the territories of those huge vassal states only nominally belonged to the Son of Heaven of the Zhou Dynasty, and those princes who were called Zhou Chen, were only nominally obeyed by the orders of the Son of Heaven of the Zhou Dynasty. Sometimes the princes don't even want nominal obedience.

The feudal state of the Zhou Dynasty undoubtedly greatly weakened the rights in the hands of the Son of Heaven and the territory of the Zhou Dynasty itself, but it was precisely because of the grievances accumulated by the vast number of peasants and people in the world because of the land that they did not sit on the state of the Zhou Dynasty, but vented it in the disputes and wars of the vassal states, and the eight hundred years of the Zhou Dynasty can be said to have come from this.

In medieval feudal society, it was precisely like this, because there were many subordinate lords, and the vast disputes were vented in the fighting wars of the lower lords, and did not fall on the state of each dynasty.

Of course, in the history of Europe, there was also an incident born of territorial disputes, that is, the Crusades, in the name of God, went to the East to seize territory and wealth, which was the largest long-term accumulation in Europe for hundreds of years, and the contradictions that were not consumed erupted.

Of course, Europe is not all feudal countries, one of them is not, that is, France, the Hundred Years War between Britain and France in European history, although it consumed most of France's national strength, but after finally winning the Hundred Years' War, France's centralization reached its peak, the prestige of the king reached its peak, and France finally entered the imperial era at the end of the Middle Ages.

However, after the centralization of power, the same thing happened in France as in ancient China, and the contradictions of the common people were concentrated on the state machine, and the so-called periodic state collapse events that occurred in the history of China broke out in a more gorgeous way in France, that is, revolution!

In fact, if you look at it in another way, the subsequent revolutions in France will be almost exactly the same as the so-called periodic collapse of ancient China. (To be continued.) )
