In the next few days, Xie Xin had a tail behind him.
Although it was apparently a convoy of merchants traveling through Tongtong, Xie Xin and the others understood that this was a surveillance force sent by Cao Cao to prevent Lu Bu or Xie Xin from joining Yuan Jun's army.
But after they followed for four or five days, they arrived at the place and stopped monitoring.
At this time, Xie Xin understood that Bingzhou was afraid that it had completely fallen into Cao Cao's hands. And the three people who were entrenched in Bingzhou, Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang, were afraid that they would either die or escape.
Let’s not talk about death, but if they are on the run, where can they escape to?
Xie Xin was certain that they would not be able to return to Yizhou at least, because according to the news they heard, Gongsun Sheng went south again and had already captured the last bit of Yuan Tan's territory.
Yuan Tan even showed his head to the public after being teased by Gongsun Sheng.
"Forget it, what happens to the Yuan family has nothing to do with me. All I have to do is continue on the road." Xie Xin muttered for a moment and followed the convoy to Jiuyuan.
In a blink of an eye, the group of people had arrived at the Great Wall.
"This is the Great Wall? What a spectacular long dragon!" Xie Ying looked left and right on the Great Wall like a curious baby.
"As a man-made wonder, can this be considered a world-class existence?" Xie Xin couldn't help but sigh.
I just changed my mind and said with a bit of regret: "It's just that the original intention of building it was a bit useless."
Isn't it? Because during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the princes were busy with civil war and had no time or mood to attack the Xiongnu. They were also afraid that they would go south to plunder, so this barrier was built to keep the Xiongnu soldiers out of the Central Plains.
.
To put it bluntly, the Huns are not good at attacking cities. With the Great Wall, only a small number of troops are needed to ensure that the Huns' grazing troops cannot achieve even an inch. The saved troops can naturally be invested in the Central Plains
In the midst of a battle for hegemony.
"The Huns do not cultivate, they have no country and no laws, the weak eat the strong, and the strong are respected. In the eyes of the Chinese princes, it is just a disease of mustard moss, and there is no need to worry about it.
In their eyes, only other princes with the same roots and clan are their biggest enemies in seeking the world, so naturally they focus on dealing with their own people." Lu Bu knew what Xie Xin meant,
So he stepped forward and explained.
"If one day, we ourselves are seriously injured in the battle, the available troops are less than 100,000, and they have to be dispersed throughout China, and each key place in the north is guarding less than a few thousand troops; but these mustard diseases have been recuperated and regenerated.
, with an army of one million, marching south in one fell swoop, will China still be safe and sound by then?" Xie Xin asked calmly.
"China is dead..." Nan Hua answered first.
"The Chinese people will never be destroyed, and China will never be destroyed!" Lu Bu replied affirmatively.
"Then if the Chinese people at that time not only have Han blood flowing in their bodies, but also a large amount of Hu people's blood, are they Chinese or barbarians? And the political power they establish, is it a Chinese political power or a barbarian political power?!"
Xie Xin asked casually.
"China is a kind of inheritance and a kind of soul. The regime established by those who are familiar with our Chinese culture, understand our Chinese etiquette, speak our Chinese language, and write our Chinese characters is the Chinese regime. It does not matter whether the blood is pure or not. However,
If there is one missing step, then it will be a barbarian regime!" Nan Hua answered affirmatively.
Thinking about the Tang Dynasty, the Li family of the Tang Dynasty had more Xianbei blood, but who dared to talk about the Tang Dynasty and the Chinese regime? Then enter the Mongolian, Yuan, and Manchu Qing Dynasties, why not say that the bo'er is only a catty? Yuan, or Aixinjueluo? What about the Qing Dynasty?
It should be noted that when talking about the Tang, Song, and Ming dynasties, we are accustomed to call them Li Tang, Zhao Song, and Zhu Ming.
Can this be seen as saying that the Yuan Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty were not actually our Chinese regime?
Then why should we include it in the history of China? One of them is to remember the shame and let future generations work hard to become stronger. Secondly, after all, during those two periods, China has been subjugated. In order to make it look better, let’s include those two countries as well.
To be a Chinese government, can we show the continuity of Chinese inheritance?
The thank you letter made him depressed. At this moment, he couldn't help but think, if he were still a student, would it be better to study the history of these two dynasties as Chinese history? Or should it be better to study foreign history?
"What are you thinking about?" Gongsun Ying suddenly appeared behind him.
"Nothing, I'm just thinking, the world is so big, why do the Chinese people stick to a small pond instead of taking a dip in the sea?" Xie Xin said, stroking the wall of the Great Wall.
"The south is full of poisonous miasma, there is a sea in the east that is constantly windy, there is grassland and desert in the north, and there are thousands of miles of yellow sand in the west. Maybe our ancestors have not tried it, but they are obviously lurking under the pressure of nature?"
Gongsun Ying said with a smile.
"But today's Jiangdong, Yangzhou, and Jiaozhou areas were once desolate and poisonous. There were no roads in the first place, but as people walked more, there were roads.
Besides, people are creative. As long as we are willing to study, we can find ways to avoid any natural disasters that lie in front of us, even if they cannot be directly controlled!" Xie Xin retorted.
"It's just that in an era when the king's power is supreme and the people are ruled by ignorant people, which king would be willing to spend a lot of time to study these issues?
Not to mention that there is a war going on now, and military expenditures account for more than 70% of taxes. The remaining money is enough for basic daily administrative expenses, so naturally there is no research funds.
The most important thing is that if Huaxia Academy had not taken the lead to open a research institute so that researchers could gain sufficient status, then which scholar in the world would spend a lot of effort to learn science and technology that cannot be an official or a high official?
"Nan Hua stepped forward and said with a smile.
"China has now become a country of one family, isn't it a country of the Chinese people? Maybe one day, when we make China a country of all peoples again, will China be considered the real China?" Xie Xin said, stroking the wall.
"Go back to the era of abdication?" Lu Bu asked with a smile.
"No, a more advanced era..." Xie Xin said with a faint smile.
"What era was that?" Lu Bu didn't understand.
"You'll know when the day comes. Anyway, it's not impossible for us to wait." Xie Xin said with a smile.
"Yes..." Everyone around them nodded.
When they raised their heads again, they discovered that something was not right.
Xie Xin touched his hand on the city wall, but the man stayed there, motionless.
"Uncle Master..." Tang Zhou asked worriedly.
"Grandpa Nanhua, my father..." Xie Ying also looked at Nanhua.
"He is entering samadhi. Maybe the previous words made him understand something?" Nan Hua explained with a smile.
Indeed, the letter of thanks is entering concentration.
Just after he said those words, the Great Wall seemed to be connected with his mind, taking his soul to travel across time and space.
In fact, it is not a real time and space, but the Great Wall is showing Xie Xin the memories it has stored for a long time, the memories of the soldiers who guarded the Great Wall, and the memories of the Han people who suffered the ravages of the barbarians.
"When will my king send troops to the Northern Expedition?"
"Can we, the Chinese nation, only rely on this city wall for defense and cannot take the initiative to attack?"
"Why does the civil war continue? Is there anyone left to control the barbarians who are going south?"
"If the Chinese don't fight the Chinese, we should always look outward!"
In the memories of scenes, he saw the unwillingness in the hearts of the Chinese people and saw their desires.
He understood that one family can only bring prosperity to China for a hundred years at most, but as long as the country is still in the hands of one family, China will never truly be at peace.
Some people blame Confucianism for China's weakness.
Confucianism was originally a school of thought, and there was nothing wrong with it. It was just that kings liked to obey the people, and there were traitors in Confucianism who liked to flatter the king, so Confucianism was changed again and again, and by the end of the Ming Dynasty it was basically beyond recognition.
To put it bluntly, Christianity and Buddhism are the same thing. They are both tools used to control the people under the rule of the imperial dynasty. The only difference is that Confucianism does not have a religious nature, so there is no need to worry about overriding the imperial power.
In other words, the culprit is still the fundamental issue of one family ruling the world.
Knowledge is not guilty, and the entrustment is not human. The Chinese people are not guilty, but there is something wrong with the one who lives in the temple.
The way out for China may be a republic, or communism, or a constitution, or a president. Anyway, the political system needs to progress, otherwise China will have no way out.
Did he come to this era to change everything before the catastrophe?
Xie Xin kept reflecting and asking questions, and finally he came to his senses.
Education for all, awakening for all!
Let the common people who have woken up decide how to take the road of China!
So, he realized it again...
He didn't know how long it took before he came back to his senses, looked at everyone looking at him, and smiled sheepishly.
"It's been a great harvest!" Nan Hua said with a smile.
"It doesn't really count, just a little gain." Xie Xin said modestly.
"From the out-of-body stage to the god-refining stage, is this a slight gain?" Nan Hua asked jokingly.
"Huh?" Xie Xin then realized that his cultivation level had actually improved accordingly.
"You can wake up by just touching the city wall. Don't be so awesome all the time. It makes me wonder if I want to change my family." Lu Bu said jokingly.
"Lou Gui, what are you doing?" Xie Ying said suddenly.
"I'm going to touch that city wall and have a look. After all, Master and I are both heaven-defying people who love Tao. If he can understand it, maybe I can too!" Lou Gui said with a smile.
But he didn't know that different personal experiences directly led to different things that both parties could comprehend. Xie Xin might be able to gain enlightenment by touching the wall of the Great Wall; but if Lou Gui touched it, he would probably not be able to comprehend anything.
