Chapter 131 The Battle of Civilizations
"War of Civilizations? What do you mean?"
Zhuo Qun asked, leaning on the sofa.
"The war of civilizations is a war between the two major civilization systems of the Eastern and Western worlds. To understand it, our World War II is a war of that level, but there are no neutral countries. It is either war or death."
What Liao Yong said made Zhuo Qun feel a little heavy. It was nothing but civilization. The word civilization was too heavy, and it was connected with war.
"That is not a world war. In a world war, you can declare neutrality. No country will accuse a neutral country. However, if a civilized war breaks out, all countries in this civilized system will participate in the war. If you don't participate, you will die!"
Liao Yong smiled a little cruelly, but Zhuo Qun knew that he was telling the truth. This was a war between one civilization and another, just like a war between farming civilization and nomadic civilization that lasted for thousands of years.
But the difference is that the other party has its own cultural system like Zhu Xia, which means they are an unteachable sect.
"The Uncultivable Sect!"
Zhuo Qun muttered something.
Yes, the other party is different from the nomads. They are a maritime civilization with their own cultural system. Even though their civilization is not perfect, they do have their own cultural system.
This is different from the Dark Middle Ages in the Northern Song Dynasty. Those people in the Middle Ages were all illiterate. No matter whether they were high or low, they were illiterate. Only missionaries were qualified to be literate. Others, even kings, were illiterate.
If you don’t have your own culture, you can’t teach it.
But it was different after the Renaissance. They inherited the civilization of Greece. Don’t think that they must be called Rome. In fact, they really did not inherit the Roman civilization. They inherited the civilization of ancient Greece and the barbarism of the nomads, and finally formed
They have the thinking system of predators and the logic of bandits.
In Zhuxia, if we like something, we will buy it or exchange it, but stealing or robbing is the last thing we want to choose.
In the Western civilization system, if you like it, then go and rob it. If you grab it, it is yours. Taking the things of the poor to make yourself richer is normal in their view. You will not rob them if you don’t.
normal.
Zhuxia wants peace, but in Western civilization, if you want peace, it is because you are not as good as me, you are weaker than me, so you want peace, otherwise you will definitely do something to me.
This is how the first civilized war between the two sides broke out.
At that time, the bandits of Europa had taken over the entire American continent, and the Aztec civilization had been completely slaughtered. It was a real massacre, and they recorded it in their own history openly. What they said was that we gave the Americas
brought civilization.
The Fengtian Jingnan Campaign that lasted for hundreds of years in Zhu Xia was no longer a real war, but returned to the war pattern of the Spring and Autumn Period.
Just like the battle between Jin and Chu.
Everything is as recorded in Zuo Zhuan: The Jin people may not be able to advance with their broad troops, but the Chu people can't get rid of them. They advance less, and the horses return, and they pull them up and throw them to the balance, and then they come out. Gu said: "I am not as good as the great country.
also".
It is also like what Xianggong of the Song Dynasty said at that time, a gentleman is not seriously injured, and he is not a bird. In ancient times, the army was not built to block the passes. Even if the country is destroyed, a few people will not be able to line up without drums.
However, they did not suffer national subjugation.
At the beginning of this war, it was really fought at the risk of death, but it changed after the Donglin Party came out of power.
To a certain extent, everyone's goal has been achieved. The Donglin Party has gone away and will never come to power again, because the biggest financial backer behind them, Dahai Shang, is dead.
The current war is more about fighting for the orthodox voice of the Ming Dynasty. In their view, the Ming Dynasty in the land of Zhuxia lost the orthodox status of the Ming Dynasty royal family after the Donglin Party came to power, and Jiaqing and his son died.
It is unclear whether the new emperor found out the cause of their death and avenged their deaths. He was really not a son of man, so he stopped recognizing the local emperor as legitimate.
The local emperors did not want to lose their orthodox status, so they continued to fight. However, although the Sai kings wanted their orthodox status, they had no idea of becoming emperors. This is interesting.
The emperor and the kings of Sai were all relatives within the five servers, and they had complicated marriage relationships through several major noble systems. They were all real relatives after all, so the war pattern began to resemble that of the Spring and Autumn Period.
The model of sports war has changed. Even during the battle, no one kills each other. Except for some unlucky ones, no one dies in each war.
And this kind of war has become an annual entertainment activity. When the entire Ming Dynasty goes to war every year, a large number of people will engage in gambling, and the money involved each time is more than 100 million taels of silver.
And those old kings of Sai would also return to Yingtian Mansion in the Ming Dynasty to take care of themselves. The emperor of the Ming Dynasty would also give them a banquet every New Year's Eve. It was really a strange way of getting along with each other.
The cause of the First Civilization War was that the two Sai kings of the Ming Dynasty died. The Europa bandits used business as an excuse to enter the land of the two Sai kings. They launched a surprise attack when the Sai kings were entertaining merchants.
They attacked and killed them, and also killed their entire family, young and old.
They set fire to the city, fled back to Europe with the things they grabbed from the city, and publicized that they were like Pizarro killing Atahualpa and killing the king of the Ming people. The Ming people were unable to fight, and Europa
Can conquer the wealthy Ming Dynasty.
It only takes 20,000 people at most to conquer the Ming Dynasty. After that, a large number of schools will be established in the Ming Dynasty to instill European culture and ideas into the Xia people, thus annihilating the Ming Dynasty culturally. At the same time, a large number of Catholic churches will be established in the Ming Dynasty, and they will be established in the Ming Dynasty according to the region.
58 archbishops, thus turning Ming Dynasty into a Catholic country.
This letter was delivered to all the kings of Europe by those people, along with bloody porcelain and silk, so the whole of Europe was in commotion, and this letter also reached the Ming Emperor through certain channels
And in the hands of all Sai kings.
There was a King of Sai whose whole family was killed. Even during the Hundred Years of Rebellion, not one King of Sai died, let alone the whole family. This is even more impossible.
When this letter was sent to the Ming Dynasty, both the Ming Dynasty and the people became angry. King Sai, who treated him politely, had his whole family killed. This was unacceptable in the Xia Dynasty. When he saw this letter, the Ming Dynasty did not care.
Both men and women are shouting for war. No civilization has ever dared to speak of destroying the culture of Zhuxia, so war is inevitable.
Don't look at the Spring and Autumn Sports War that Ming Dynasty fought for decades, but Ming Dynasty's combat power is still the best in the world. In a short period of time, the Ming Emperor and King Sai reached an understanding.
