Human hearts themselves are unstable and may change at any time.
Whether in Jiangdong or in the Western Regions.
The Western Regions are undoubtedly a magical land full of contradictions and oppositions but unity, such as wealth and poverty, beauty and ugliness, barbarity and weakness, heat and bitterness and cold.
However, no matter how magical the land is, it is meaningless to humans.
This may be somewhat idealistic, but it is also a kind of reality.
Just like no matter how good the Western Regions are, if they are not beneficial to the Han Dynasty, it will be like waste.
What Fei Qian needs to do is turn waste into treasure.
In other words, brush away the dust that originally enveloped the Western Regions, and fish out the gold that was deposited under the water...
"If you want to accept it, you should know it." Fei Qian said slowly, "If you don't know what the Western Regions are like, then what about the Western Regions?"
Fei Qian was right about this.
Fei Qian has a deeper understanding of the Western Regions than all the Han people in this world, and even surpasses the Western Regions.
White clouds float slowly in the sky.
The troops on the ground marched slowly.
The three-colored flags were also shaking lazily in the wind.
Fei Qian looked around.
The Western Regions in the early morning are undoubtedly very suitable for marching. When the sun slowly rises from the distant horizon, the creatures in the grassland and desert also wake up. The dew shines with charming brilliance under the sun, like pearls falling on the land. The mountains in the distance begin to take off their gray-black robes and reveal their graceful figures.
Although it is winter, the soldiers with leather robes and cotton coats will not feel very cold.
What's more, it's not the coldest time.
In the current Western Regions of the Han Dynasty, there was more vegetation than in later generations, especially the vegetation on the mountains. There were also more oasis, shoals and waters in the Gobi Desert...
The blue sky is completely blue.
The white cloud is absolutely white.
This is a beautiful and magnificent view no matter what angle you look at, but the words between Fei Qian, Taishi Ci, and Zhang Liao are not so pure and flawless.
The purer the scenery, the more filthy the people's hearts are.
Because humans themselves grow up by eating corpses, animals' corpses, or plants' limbs. Perhaps only when humans can photosynthesise themselves can they match true purity...
"There should be people in the Western Regions. If there is no one, even if the land is abundant, it will be useless." Fei Qian still said slowly, "There should be Han in the Western Regions. If there is no Han, even if gold and silver are everywhere, it will be useless."
Taishici and Zhang Liao nodded.
There is no doubt about this.
All humans' standards for judging whether things are beneficial in this era were basically based on whether they are beneficial to humans themselves, until later humans opened Pandora's magic box...
Who can think of the ultimate short-sightedness in the future? As long as it doesn’t leave the world tomorrow, then you can still sing and drink wine today, no matter how bad his next stall is.
At the moment of the Han Dynasty, Fei Qian could set a standard for Taishici and others.
A standard that is more in line with the interests of the Great Han.
Actually, it is not unthinkable that no one has ever thought about this problem. It can even be said that not only Taishi Ci and Zhang Liao may understand it. Some people may have realized that because of political reasons, they can only stay in their ideas and cannot do it at all.
For example, when gathering people in the Western Regions, they naturally focus on calming their hearts. Although forced or robbed people can be used for a while, they will eventually become the fire of destruction and the cornerstone of decline.
The extortion of heavy taxes was the fuse of unrest and rebellion in the Han Dynasty. The excessive occupation and embezzlement of production and living materials by superstructure was the fundamental contradiction of the cyclical turmoil of feudal dynasties.
Of course, Fei Qian could not tell Taishici and Zhang Liao about productivity. He could only change a direction that was relatively easy for them to understand. "Who is the Western Regions?"
"Of course..." Taishici responded subconsciously, but after saying halfway, hesitated, "Lord, the Western Regions should be the land of the Han Dynasty."
Fei Qian smiled, "Han Qiang is the Han area."
Taishici and Zhang Liao looked at each other and remained silent.
On the other hand, if Han Wu said...
Fei Qian pointed at the back of the queue, where there were some monks, or monks.
"Look, these people are waiting for the Great Han to weaken. They are waiting, and the next generation will wait, and will the Great Han wait forever, and will the Great Han be permanently strong? So how can we ensure permanent strength?" Fei Qian said with a smile, "They seem well-behaved now, and they will even welcome death calmly... They are not afraid of death, and if they just kill them like this, they will make them...know why?"
Fei Qian did not kill these people.
The Semi people became monks. Fei Qian had never seen them in the Han Dynasty before, and now they have broadened their horizons when they arrived in the Western Regions. And similar to most feudal dynasties in history, these monks are obviously more knowledgeable and more cultural than the ordinary people in the Western Regions.
The old monk who claimed to be Bu Sen even knew more than a dozen languages, which made Fei Qian feel that he was an amazing talent. At least in terms of language talent, this old monk was extremely powerful. At the same time, this old monk not only understood various languages in the Western Regions, but also knew many "secret scrolls"...
To a certain extent, at least in the Western Regions, religion seemed to have become another kind of Confucian scholar of the Han Dynasty.
Preserve knowledge, spread knowledge, and harvest faith in the process.
The Confucian scholars did almost similar jobs.
So in the feudal dynasty, when Confucianism became a religion, would it be useful to kill a few Confucian scholars?
The same is true in the Western Regions. When the teachings of these monks have become deeply rooted, can killing these monks destroy the "teachings" of these monks in the Western Regions?
Obviously impossible.
It's like cutting the weeds in the Western Regions desert. Even if it sets fire, it looks like a large desolate area. But by next spring, you will see fresh buds growing out of the ruins and wreckage.
"If you are not my race, your heart will be different." Zhang Liao whispered, "Lord, but I always feel that this sentence seems to..."
Fei Qian nodded and signaled Zhang Liao to continue.
Zhang Liao looked at Fei Qian, then looked at Taishi Ci again, and then said: "The difference between good and evil is not so simple and direct. It is not my race. The difference between this race is more about customs and habits, and the corresponding laws of the country and the laws of the country... For example, in the Han Dynasty, the murderer paid his life, but in the grassland and Gobi, he felt that killing was just an ordinary thing... This is the difference between customs and laws..."
Fei Qian laughed and nodded.
The saying "If you are not my race, your heart will be different" obviously has certain limitations and can even continue to evolve. For example, for Li Shimin, this sentence can be expressed as "If you are not my parents, your heart will be different". Brothers will still kill them when they should, and then there are further things like this. For example, Wu Zetian said, "If you are not me, your heart will be different." Even your own children can also start...
Those who only know how to slaughter strange things will never become great.
Because there are too many "different"s, even if you can be defeated by killing for a while, no one in this generation dares to provoke you, and what about the next generation?
Different countries naturally have struggles from different countries, and different regions naturally have disputes from different regions. Even in the same family, husband, wife, grandchildren and other generations will have differences in their cognitive views. Could it be that as long as they are different, they will be killed with their swords?
All unity and morality are the product of compromise!
Don’t think that compromise is dirty, and politically speaking is despicable. If there is no compromise in this world and only disputes, then Yan and Huang have no basis for coexistence at all, and China has no cornerstone for existence.
"Wen Yuan's words are wonderful..." Fei Qian smiled and gestured to Taishi Ci and Zhang Liao, "The great way of the Western Regions is the four-character method, "seeking common ground while reserving differences"!"
Those who are not me will have different hearts, but people must work together to do big things, so they must "seek the sameness".
I am Yan, you are Huang, both of us hate the man You who either chops or chops the stone axe all day long. This is our "same", so we go together and take the big stick and turn him!
When Yan Huang attacked the man on the left and right, he naturally could not bear the humiliation and ran away with axe.
Yanhuang’s great victory!
And later on, China has the same country, same ethnic group, same clan, same hometown, classmates, and same friends...
If we cannot "become" at the so-called "physical" level, China can also create some "become" in spirit, such as common vision, same ideals, etc.
In the end, the highest form of "same" was formed among the feudal dynasties in China, and the same party.
Talk about feelings is to talk about money and interests.
The party is to fight against foreign powers.
Therefore, the more different the stronger the opponents are, the more they can promote the closest similarity. Of course, after the sameness, their own differences appear, which is the matter of generation after generation. Zhao Kuangyin and Zhao Guangyi were closely united brothers of the same clan when the founding of the country, and after the founding of the country, they were opponents in fighting for power and profit.
Those who always believe in the same people will be sold like fools, and those who always believe in the same people will be beaten like fools. Those who really believe in the same people will not have a great end in history, and most of them who do not believe in the same people will have no great achievements, or they are not even qualified to enter the historical stage.
After Fei sneaked to the Western Regions, the Western Regions coalition collapsed instantly, like a snowman melting under the scorching sun. It looked a little bit, and then it couldn't even help it up. Even the heads were brought to him by the old monk.
If it is said that it is a "conquest" to the Western Regions, then it is already successful and it is over now.
Because Fei Qian is now even the target of the "Strike" has died. But he really feels that everything is going well. When he returns to the court, he believes that in the near future, another new Tatha will appear.
The fire in the Western Regions has been lit up. Even if it is not visible for the time being, this fire will spread in the Western Regions like wild grass, and may eventually burn some people one day.
Now Fei Qian wants to let the flame burn in another direction...
To change the direction of the flame, you must first understand the structure of the flame. Know the root cause of its origin, its development path, and its final evolution.
"First of all, who do you want to ask for this?" Fei Qian looked up at the green that appeared on the distant horizon, some panicked herdsmen, and the shadows of the city walls and buildings farther away, and smiled, "We're here..."
This is the territory of Shanshan.
Although the Western Regions coalition had previously gathered 300,000, which seemed to have ignited the entire Western Regions, in fact, behind the front, many Western Regions people still lived a life that was no different from usual, grazing, and planting.
The first to explore the Silk Road in the Western Regions was a piece of black and white in history, well, the wooden slips were written about how hard, how difficult, how unswerving, and how persevering the Han people were. Finally, they created the Silk Road in the Western Regions, and developed prosperous commercial exchanges and trade exchanges.
Well, my butt is on the side of the big man, of course I can say that.
But in fact, you should know that there are some written and non-written in all the official texts...
According to the three or four hundred years of the Han Dynasty, farmers who clamored to be farming as the basis and did not cultivate the fields were all refugees, and they beat the unscrupulous people to death. How many people would have such a strong business spirit and go to the distant and unknown Western Regions? Therefore, the real Silk Road in the Western Regions was not the first step by the Han people, but the route pioneered by the Tocharians, and then a large number of Lite people traveled back and forth. Compared with the local Chinese farmer who did not like to stay away from their hometowns and said that they would return to their roots after death, the Tocharians may have been constantly migrating for the entire thousand years, and the Lite people seemed to be doing business forever...
It can even be said that these have become a habit and a life of the Tocharians and Lites.
Of course, it is not to say that people without Semen stopped and settled.
During the millennium migration, many Tocharians also stopped and formed different tribes or states of different sizes.
Therefore, on the Silk Road in the Western Regions of the Han Dynasty, more people in the Western Regions grabbed the camel's hair and brought goods to the Han Dynasty, and then returned to the Western Regions with goods, or went further away, such as Jiangdong and other...
So Sun Shiwan's blue eyes and purple beard...
Cough cough cough.
It is obvious that it does not make much sense to talk about the race of the geological period, because no matter how black, white, brown and yellow skin color, they are actually the children and grandchildren of "mitochondrial Eve". No matter where the future generations are distributed, they are mostly descendants of human ancestors who walked out of Africa 100,000 years ago. On the time scale based on the thousand years, it is also meaningless to talk about the nation and its righteousness.
Moreover, there is another "conjecture" in archaeology in later generations. The rise of the Western Zhou Dynasty and the might of the Zhou people are actually related to the Tocharians. This archaeological conjecture makes China, which claims to be the center of the world, feel a little uncomfortable, so many people are reluctant to mention it, but the two things about bronzes and chariots are really embarrassing to study...
Of course, the above so-called conjecture may be just a few tricks.
Fei Qian didn't know what was the real situation during the Zhou people. He just knew that China was just a concept, that is, the largest "university". To make this "university" bigger and bigger, what needs to be done is to maintain this concept and spread this concept to more people.
Fei Qian looked back at the monks in the queue. Perhaps from a certain perspective, what Fei Qian did now was actually similar to what the monk did.
sowing.
Watch the clouds roll and unfold.
Wait for the flowers to bloom, fall and bear fruit.
To sow seeds, of course, you have to find a good place to dig the soil, dig and dig...
The first person Fei Qian found was Shanshan.
Fei Qian smiled, like a farmer waving a small hoe, staring at a beautiful piece of land.
This land is the kingdom that will disappear in the future. Of course, it is now called Shanshan. The oasis kingdom in Loulan is the most powerful... Well, maybe it cannot be called powerful, it can only be said to be unique. After all, in an area like the Western Regions, where there are mountains and deserts in the middle, there are such a large oasis and the successful establishment of the country, from a certain perspective, Loulan was enough to shock the surrounding areas at the beginning.
Whether it is Loulan or Shanshan, at the earliest and most huge time, it is said that the entire oasis stretches for nearly a thousand miles, and now there are at least more than 800 miles. In another one or two hundred years, the oasis will gradually shrink and eventually disappear.
However, the decline of the Shanshan country has been reflected earlier than the shrinking of the topography and landforms.
Just like the little prince of Shanshan now tries to pretend to be a pure little lamb in front of Fei Qian.
The reason why it is called "pretty" is because Fei Qian knew that when this little prince stared at Bu Sen and the monks, his eyes were full of naked hatred because the monk chose to support him, Tong Groga, who was not him.
This may be just the first time that the flowers in the greenhouse suffered such a big storm, so they were completely disappointed with the world. However, the little prince's attitude towards his own tribe members allowed Fei Qian to see the opportunity to poach.
In today's era, ordinary people are often not regarded as human beings. Whether it is the Han Dynasty or the Western Regions, the upper class often regards ordinary people as ants. There is no difference between this little prince and the noble children of the rich families in the Han area. However, the geniuses in the Han area still know how to pack themselves and put a layer of kindness on themselves. The little prince may have lost his parents early, or perhaps it is because of the major inheritance deviation in his education, which makes the little prince's attitude towards the lives of his subordinates basically completely materialized.
Perhaps his subordinates did something wrong, perhaps it was just his anger of being abandoned, or something else, the little prince directly killed his subordinates, and stripped them down, making them into leather goods...
The key is that it is done in front of everyone.
The attitude of admiring the strong for the strong and bullying the weak for the weak reminded Fei Qian of some people.
Fei Qian didn't want to be the little prince's parents, and he didn't want to work hard to educate and correct him. However, it is still acceptable to take advantage of the little prince's own shortcomings to implement the grand strategy of "seeking common ground while reserving differences" in the Western Regions.
"Have you thought about the name of the Chinese name you have chosen?" Fei Qian called Shanshan's little prince and asked with a smile, "Don't be like your uncle Wang, who is called Tong or something, it's not nice and hard to remember..."
If Mr. Bu Sen is here, he would have known Fei Qian's sinister intentions.
This set of methods was actually learned from companies in potential future generations...
