Chapter 2026 Pantheon Donglin Party (asking for double badi)
Different from ordinary people.
The closer ordinary people are to death, the more open-minded they become, because it is impossible not to be open-minded. Everyone knows that death will definitely come. If you have no expectations, you will naturally not be disappointed. Everyone knows that human beings can only live for a hundred years at most, and as time goes by,
The older you get, the worse your quality of life will be.
There is nothing to stop this. No matter how rich you are, the longer you live, the quality of life will inevitably get worse. Just like people in their thirties, they are definitely not as comfortable as those in their seventeen or eighteen years old.
Apart from anything else, the digestive ability alone is different.
When I was a teenager, I stayed up all night and was still in high spirits. I could go to bed immediately after eating. When I woke up, I pooped out and felt so comfortable all over. When you are in your thirties, it will be completely different. If you eat at night
If you go to bed with a late-night snack, you will find that your digestive system will be a little uncomfortable the next morning. If you go for an X-ray, you will also find that the late-night snack you had last night has not been completely digested!
So does sleeping.
When I was seventeen or eighteen years old, I could almost fall asleep immediately when I lay down. After my thirties, my sleep quality dropped off a cliff. Either I couldn't fall asleep or I couldn't sleep well. (This is the author's case. After the age of thirty-two,
, I feel that my body is not as good as before. I even used to update at three or four in the morning, and nothing happened when I woke up the next day. Now I can’t do it anymore. I go to bed at three or four, and I feel exhausted the next day.)
In addition to sleeping, other things are also changing.
When you reach the age of sixty or seventy, no matter how your body is, you will have some problems. The quality of life will inevitably decline.
No matter how rich you are, it doesn't matter.
Many rich people, in order to live longer, spend money on all sorts of messy medicines, and even some mysterious medicines. But the question is, is his quality of life really high?
When they reach that point, they may just live simply.
Of course, this is naturally out of reach for us ordinary people. But how does the quality of life of those wealthy people compare with when they were young?
At the end of life, it is even more painful.
When you close your eyes, you don't know what's going on. That's called happiness and mourning.
In this way, not only do you not have to suffer, but your family and friends also have less trouble. (The author has personal experience. His elders were bedridden for long periods of time, and the author personally took care of his grandfather. It was not an ordinary grind.)
The key is that the kind of torture will make you feel that life is worse than death!
Many old people are really dying when they reach their old age. There is a saying that a good death is worse than a good death. But in fact, when you really get to that point, you will find that a good death is actually better than a good death!
So the closer people are to death, the more open-minded they become, at least that's what the author sees. After all, it doesn't hurt anymore after death... This is true. I've seen it with my own eyes more than once!
But the gods are different, especially the gods of the Pantheon, because they cannot see their own death!
They can live for a long time, and they don't even know how long they can live!
So they have no expectation of death at all!
What they expect is to live forever, and the concept of 'eternity' has even begun to spread among the gods. They believe that they can live forever like those demons... Yes, demons can live forever... provided that
Have enough soul.
This is also the reason why gods made deals with demons back then.
Why do gods control so many worlds but still cause a shortage of the power of faith?
Instead of spending as much as you want?
The answer is that they must abide by the rules of the deal with the devil, and they must make offerings to the devil! A large part of those dead souls will flow to the devil dimension! In order to ensure the number, the gods need to constantly provoke wars and let themselves rule.
The world will never have peace!
I don’t know which demon king is so talented that he actually reached an agreement with the Pantheon, allowing the gods to have the ability to rely on the power of faith. At the same time, the demon king can obtain endless souls without doing anything.
Demons do like destruction and destruction, but that is just a hobby. Their main goal is the soul of the material universe.
If you can get your soul without doing anything, no devil can refuse such a deal.
The key is that such transactions can continue forever!
And the gods have achieved what they want. As long as their faith exists, they can live forever!
This gives them no expectation of death at all, which is impossible on Earth. When they were on Earth, they also had life spans.
The most typical example is the Egyptian god. Ra wanted to retire and let his son Seth take over. Osiris was old and wanted to let his son Horus take over.
If the gods were immortal, none of this would happen.
Even the change of power among the gods in ancient Greece is related to lifespan. If the parents were not old, the next generation would not be able to defeat them!
But now these are gone.
Because they can never die, the gods begin to feel that they are eternal!
Since they will never die, and their quality of life will never be reduced, why should they be open-minded about death?
Doesn't exist at all!
According to his age, Zeus should have died a long time ago. But what about now? He can still have sex and do things with beautiful women or beautiful boys every day. If he died, these would not exist!
Can he not be afraid of death?
This is not shameful.
At least that's what Zeus thinks.
"Who is not afraid of death? Even those gods of death who are named after death are also afraid of death! Yes, I am afraid, Kai. This is not shameful."
Zeus did not show too much anger when faced with Kai's questioning.
In fact, the moment he admitted that he was timid, not only did he not feel embarrassed, but he felt a sense of relief.
It’s like... a shameless person is invincible!
Once people let go of their shame, there really is nothing to fear.
Of course Zeus won't do this alone.
He turned to look at the others: "Aren't you afraid of death? Are you willing to face Geer?!"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The gods remained silent.
In fact, during previous meetings, many people proposed sending troops to attack Geer. But every time, they ended in vain.
Do you think there are brave people out there?
If you really think so, you are wrong!
Do you know the Donglin Party?
There are many different opinions on the reasons for the fall of the Ming Dynasty. Some people blame the emperor, saying that Emperor Wanli was lazy and lazy in politics, Emperor Tianqi was absurd and excessive, and Emperor Chongzhen was suspicious and indecisive. Some people blamed the eunuchs, saying that Wei Zhongxian and his gang caused harm to the country and the people and killed loyal people. Others think that it was the rogue bandits Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong who caused trouble.
They burned, killed and looted everywhere, shaking the rule of the Ming Dynasty. However, a careful study of the history of the Ming Dynasty will reveal that the culprits that led to the fall of the Ming Dynasty were actually members of the Donglin Party.
Speaking of the Donglin Party, the first impression of many people may be the Zhou Shunchang who is not afraid of power in "Tombstones of Five People", or the iron-clad Yang Lian and Zuo Guangdou. But if you have a deeper understanding of the history of the late Ming Dynasty,
You will find that not all Donglin Party members have a positive image, especially those in the later period, including a group of "angry youths" who pride themselves on being noble and not pragmatic. It was these people who pushed the Ming Dynasty into the abyss of collapse.
One of the distinctive characteristics of the Donglin Party members is that they like to talk loudly and often say that "everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the world." However, when the country is in crisis, they often stand by and watch, or even add fuel to the flames.
One of the distinguishing characteristics of the Donglin Party members is that they like to talk loudly, often saying that "everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the world." However, when the country is in crisis, they often stand aside and even add fuel to the flames. In 1642, the Ming Dynasty ushered in a rare opportunity.
At that time, the Battle of Songjin between the Ming and Qing Dynasties had just ended. Although the Ming army was defeated miserably, the Qing army was also severely weakened. Huang Taiji, Emperor Taizong of the Qing Dynasty, realized that it would not be easy to completely defeat the huge Ming Dynasty, so he took the initiative to propose to the Ming Dynasty.
Negotiating peace. Huang Taiji was very sincere. He personally led hundreds of civil and military officials out of the city for twenty miles to greet the Ming Dynasty envoys. His attitude was sincere, and the conditions he offered were quite friendly: Ningyuan and Tashan line as the boundary, non-aggression; repatriation to the Ming Dynasty
The Ming Dynasty provided silver and gold to the Qing Dynasty every year in exchange for ginseng and mink skins; the two countries became brothers. For the Ming Dynasty, which was suffering from internal and external troubles, this was undoubtedly a good opportunity to breathe.
If the Qing Dynasty negotiates peace and concentrates its efforts on quelling civil strife and reforming bad governance, it is entirely possible for the Ming Dynasty to continue its reign.
However, the Donglin Party members scorned this. They shouted "No marriage, no compensation, no cession of land, no tribute" and "The emperor guards the gate of the country, and the king dies for the country." In their view, how can the majestic heaven and the country compete with each other?
Negotiating peace with the barbarians? The person who proposed such a suggestion was simply a sinner of the Ming Dynasty! Under the pressure of public opinion, Emperor Chongzhen, in order to express his position, shifted all the responsibility for peace negotiations to Chen Xinjia, the Minister of War. He was charged with "liaison with the enemy."
Chen Xinjia was executed and flatly rejected the Manchu peace proposal.
Ming Dynasty missed an opportunity that could change the direction of history, and this was just the beginning of the Donglin Party's mischief against the country...
The Donglin Party members not only misled the country in foreign policy but also had many problems in domestic affairs. Their struggle with the eunuch group headed by Wei Zhongxian lasted almost throughout the Tianqi Dynasty. On the surface, the Donglin Party members seemed to occupy the moral high ground and shouted
In order to reform the current malpractice and create a clean and honest government, the eunuch group is their opposite. They monopolize power and destroy loyalty and corruption. The power of the eunuch comes from the emperor. Without the support of the emperor, the eunuch has no right to speak. Wei Zhongxian is looking at the apocalypse
The old slaves who grew up were loyal and respectful to the emperor. To put it bluntly, the evil done by the eunuchs was the result of the emperor's acquiescence. The Donglin Party's fight with the eunuchs was, in the final analysis, a challenge to the imperial power. These Donglin Party members fought against the emperor every day.
They talk about "loyalty to the emperor and patriotism", but they clearly know that the eunuchs are the emperor's minions, and they are the emperor who will fight to the end in order to check and balance the power they deliberately support. The eunuchs are corrupt and corrupt, and there are many greedy people in the Donglin Party.
When Li Zicheng invaded Beijing, the only ones who stayed by Chongzhen's side were a few eunuchs. What about those Donglin Party members who usually shouted "Father of the King"? They either knelt down and surrendered to Li Zicheng, or turned around and licked the Qing Dynasty.
The Donglin Party and the Eunuch Party were at each other's throats all day long, causing everyone in the court to be in a state of panic. How could they still think about governing the country? How could the Ming Dynasty, which was suffering from internal and external troubles, withstand such torment?
After Chongzhen hanged himself on Meishan, the Fu Wang Zhu Yousong established the Nanming regime in Nanjing. The Donglin Party members immediately began to display their "art of struggle". This group of people either secretly manipulated or blatantly used the Nanming court to scheming and fighting for power all day long. The country
They are almost dead and still scheming around there.
Another "unique skill" of the Donglin Party members is Qing Yi. What these people love to do most is to criticize the government and criticize this and that. On the surface, they are supporting justice and maintaining morality, but in fact they are just...
Just fishing for fame and satisfying my own vanity.
Qian Qianyi was a famous man in the Ming Dynasty and was known for his aristocracy. But when the Qing soldiers entered the country, he immediately changed his face and ran to serve as an official for the Qing Dynasty. Later, he even wrote a book "The Basket Throwing Collection" to record his surrender.
"Glorious" journey.
The Donglin Party also likes to engage in "party-like and anti-different" practices. Anyone who disagrees with them will immediately be labeled as a "traitor" or "villain". If this continues, everyone in the court will be in danger, who will dare to tell the truth?
During the Chongzhen period, there was a minister named Huang Daozhou who was originally an upright man, but because he opposed some practices of the Donglin Party, he was labeled as a "remnant of the eunuch party". As a result, this loyal minister was forced to leave the court and finally died in depression.
In the end, this group of people had been chattering all day long, but when it was time for them to contribute, they shrank faster than anyone else. In the 17th year of Chongzhen's reign, Li Zicheng came to the city with troops. What did the big guys of the Donglin Party do? Either they fled or they fled.
Surrendering the enemy, those Donglin Party members who usually shout "Father", why are they missing now? The Donglin Party members are just a bunch of "keyboard warriors" who only know how to show off their words. They flaunt how noble and noble they are all day long.
They are patriotic, but when the country is in danger, they can only escape or surrender. What qualifications do such people have to call themselves loyal ministers and good generals? Another fatal weakness of the Donglin Party is that they are seriously out of touch with the actual national conditions.
Tian was reading books from sages and talking eloquently in his study, but he knew nothing about the real difficulties facing the country.
Peasant uprisings in the Middle East and Forestry Party members always simply attribute the peasant uprisings to "robbery bandits" and believe that they can be quelled as long as they are severely punished and not given credit. They don't even think about why so many farmers have risen up. In fact, this reflects a deep-seated
Social contradictions and economic problems, but the Donglin Party turned a blind eye to this and only shouted for beatings and killings. Peasant uprisings occurred one after another during the Chongzhen period. The Donglin Party’s response was to send more troops to increase taxation, which was counterproductive. The increase in taxation made the farmers even more overwhelmed;
The army is increasing but there is no money and food to distribute. Isn’t this just trying to put out fires with wages? Donglin Party members always claim that “to fight against foreign forces, we must first stabilize the domestic situation.” They believe that as long as the internal situation is stable, foreign troubles will naturally be eliminated. This idea is simply ridiculously naive.
!In the late Ming Dynasty, the Manchu and Qing Dynasties had grown into a powerful military force. If they did not actively prepare for war, could "An Nei" alone solve the problem?
As a result, under the influence of the Donglin Party members, the imperial court invested less and less in border defense. By the Chongzhen period, it could not even pay military salaries. How do you think this battle will be fought? The result of this approach is that everyone in the imperial court is in danger.
No one dares to take the responsibility. Those who are capable do not dare to do anything for fear of being labeled as "treacherous ministers". Those who are incompetent are popular because they are good at flattering the Donglin Party members. During the reign of Emperor Chongzhen, the
There are nearly 50 cabinet ministers. Many times a minister is defeated by the Donglin Party members after he has just become familiar with the business and has not had time to do anything. Isn't this delaying national affairs?
