Chapter 2347 Gao Han works together to protect his family and country
Liu Yu laughed and applauded: "Mu Zhi said it well, the rules and principles of this world are like this. The so-called separation between high and cold is nothing more than the high-altitude families who were in power in the past, in order to maintain the power between their own family and
It is nothing more than an excuse made up in the hands of future generations. The real advantage that high-ranking nobles have lies in this knowledge, collection of books, and the talents that this knowledge brings."
Liu Muzhi smiled and stepped aside, while Liu Yu stood in the hall and became the protagonist in everyone's eyes. His expression was firm and he said in a deep voice: "To talk about the hereditary possession of power, there is no more hereditary possession than the princes during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.
We, their power is called hereditary power. One country, one surname, one king and a group of officials from generation to generation. It seems that descendants can have power, but why did such a world of vassals eventually perish?
"
"It's because power is too tempting, especially the power from above. The more powerful the power, the more it can only be possessed by a few people. The princes all focus on the position of the emperor, the officials focus on the positions of the princes, and the scholars focus on the officials.
As a result, wars continued from the beginning of the Spring and Autumn Period, and ambitious princes fought for each other under various banners. In the end, the eight hundred princes became the Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period, and the Emperor of Zhou lost his etiquette.
When the power fell, everyone wanted to fight for it. In the end, the Qin State, which was originally just a slave tribe, gained the world and established a unified dynasty, truly ending the system of vassal states and the world."
"But the princes of various countries have since become the nobles of the empire. Since the Qin Dynasty, dynasties have changed again and again, and the dignitaries have also changed one after another, but they have always changed the soup without changing the medicine.
No matter who conquers the world at the beginning and finally takes over the world, he still has to rely on people to use literary talents to govern the country, and this literary talent must rely on reading and calligraphy to learn the skills of governing the country. This is what the fat man said just now, these books are collected and learned at home."
Wang Mi applauded: "That's well said. We all know that Liu Zhenjun is invincible in battles. We didn't expect him to have such a brilliant view on the general trend of the world."
Liu Yu smiled slightly: "What Wang Shangshu said reflects one thing, that is, the nobles of the aristocratic families still look down on us lower-level warriors, thinking that we only know how to fight, kill, and use bows and arrows, but we have no skills.
The ability to govern the country. This is also the reason why for hundreds of years, most of the literati and scholars in the world have looked down on warriors, thinking that they are low-level and vulgar, and they are not willing to let their own sons and nephews join the army."
Wang Mi's face turned red and he stopped talking.
Liu Yu looked around and said: "But the nobles of the aristocratic families seem to have forgotten an ancient saying, that is, since ancient times, the emperor is the one with strong soldiers and horses. The power of the world and the emperor's majesty ultimately depend not on the etiquette of the literati, but on the army and swords.
All etiquette and laws must be guaranteed by strong force. On the one hand, noble families do not want their sons and nephews to join the army. On the other hand, as long as there is a country, there cannot be no army and no warriors. The result is that warriors join the army.
, gradually took control of the army."
Wang Yu sneered and said: "Wufu joining the army is the mainstream of the army, but the generals in the army are often literati who are descendants of aristocratic families. General Liu should have heard of the term Confucian commander. When you first joined the army, you also Xie Xuan Xie Youdu
Take charge of the army, isn't he good at leading troops?"
Yu Yue also followed and said in a deep voice: "That is, among the children of the aristocratic family, there are also many people who read military books and tactics. Liu Zhenjun, you later learned the art of war from Xie Xuan and others in the army. Although you were the martial arts leader of the three fighting competitions in Jingkou before,
, but you are not good at organizing these battle formations. If I remember correctly, you had an accident during your first martial arts performance when you became the captain. Your command error led to the death of a teammate, and you were almost kicked out of the army. Doesn't this just explain?
Is a warrior still inferior to a Confucian general?"
Liu Yu smiled slightly: "You two are right, but the current situation is that since Xuan Shuai, the children of aristocratic families have refused to join the army. Just like Xuan Shuai, and even Xie An Xianggong in the past, they are in the army
When I was in the middle school, I ate and lived with ordinary soldiers, and practiced with us smelly soldiers every day. Only in this way could we gain our trust. If we even smelled the smell of sweat on our bodies, we would have to retreat a little.
In the army, people are still smeared all day long, and even when they hear a horse's cry, they are scared to death. How can such a person really gain the respect of the warriors and be willing to die for them? "
Yu Yue and Wang Yu were speechless, and Liu Yu's voice continued to ring around: "What's more, on one side, there are high-ranking children who are unwilling to join the army, and even if they are offered to join the army, they are not willing to take senior positions such as deputy general. You need to know these
Most ordinary warriors from poor families may not be able to achieve this position if they struggle all their lives and kill countless enemies. But they don't take it seriously. They can't even invite them. On the other hand, middle- and lower-class warriors like Liu Changshi and Xu Canjun
In order to get ahead, the children of ordinary people are willing to join the army and make meritorious deeds. They themselves have read a lot of books, and even in terms of real ability to govern the country and the army, they are far better than many children of high-ranking families who can only talk and recite poetry, but their original culture is not good.
A highly skilled warrior will gradually gain knowledge by spending time with these scholars and soldiers. At least the art of war is not difficult to learn. However, warriors with rich combat experience can more easily draw inferences and have their own experiences. Since ancient times, most famous generals have
Isn’t this the reason why we started in the army?”
Yu Yue gritted his teeth and said unconvinced: "But the children of today's aristocratic families have also realized this. In the past, it was because they had no worries about food and clothing and a rich family fortune that they could enjoy glory and wealth without joining the army. Now they need to use their careers to protect it.
As Tao Yuanming said before, it is because of the series of new laws and policies since Liu Zhenjun came to power that the children of the aristocratic family have to make changes. This is not a bad thing. Children of the aristocratic family can make a difference by joining the army, like the Jiang brothers.
Who can say clearly what will happen in the future? Maybe Liu Zhenjun himself will study poetry and books and become a member of our noble family. After all, our ancestors also rose to prominence through military exploits and blessed their descendants.
.”
Liu Yu said with a smile: "Of course this is the best. The country belongs to everyone in the world. It is not only your Majesty's, but also belongs to high-ranking families and poor people. If you don't make progress, you will fall behind and be eliminated. If you work hard, even if you are
Slaves and bankers will also have the opportunity to get ahead. This is the right way in the world. Our Jin Dynasty now has rebels inside and barbarians outside, and has experienced many years of civil war. It is not easy to restore the country successfully. It is because of your concerted efforts.
, when you are working hard and are promising, you can no longer enjoy it as you did in the past, suppressing promising people, and finally fighting for power and profit, causing the destruction of the country and the family. When the day comes when the Jin Dynasty is really destroyed, how can you maintain the wealth you have today?
Huan Xuan's rebellion happened less than a year ago, so no one would want to live like that again."
