C795 refutation fallacy (1/2)
”From the Song Dynasty onwards, there have been cases of different civil and military approaches. When the Ming dynasty was founded, the status of the military general rose. However, after the change of the stone house, it was completely suppressed by the civil officials. The lowly civil officials appeared once again …”
”As for the Great Qing Dynasty, when the foreign invaders came to the Central Plains, the Han Chinese thought that the national destiny was not very long, but no one expected that the Manchu's methods of governing the Chinese people would be so effective …”
I have to say that Master Kang Xi is still very powerful. After the Great Qing Dynasty entered, the earliest authority fell upon the hands of the ministers, such as Dorgong and Ao Bai. And these people, when governing a country, had the characteristics of a minority, which was simple, direct and crude …. ”
”It was only until Kang Xi captured Ao Bai and pacified the three vassals, that the old man finally understood that the tradition left behind by the Han people was truly a treasure! ”Thus, the national policy of the Qing Dynasty was to raise the eight flags with high salaries, but to not allow the Baji to participate in the civil affairs, in other words, to eliminate the phenomenon of the military and general affairs of the Manchu …”
It will be the same as before. Although the Chinese Officer do not dare to act like a lord in front of the Eight Flags Soldier, but in front of the officers of the Green Camp, that is absolutely a heavy pressure. No one can think of turning over and causing trouble!
”Actually, to go back and forth was the same thing as practicing noble and martial arts. Moreover, Master Kang Xi had also absorbed a lot of Chinese Officer and adopted the policy of sharing the world with them … Zai Chun! When we return to the Forbidden City, let's burn a stick of incense for Master Kang Xi. Without the help of the old man, your Manchu would still want to rule for 200 years! ”
Zai Chun muttered to himself, ”So that means Feng Fu's explanation is very reasonable?”
”Stupid!” Once Xiao Letian heard this, his head felt like it was about to explode. ”You've followed me for a year, yet you haven't learnt anything? You can't even make such a detour? Who said that there was no rebellion in the world of martial arts? ”Who said that when a high-ranking officer raised a soldier like a pig, he wouldn't rebel?”
”What is a soldier when he has no thought? Wouldn't that make him a slave to the pay? With your current chaotic financial situation in the Qing Dynasty and you can't even give out military salaries, what are you trying to be loyal to? Do you believe that I will dig up your soldiers with silver? Don't you only want silver? There are plenty of people in this world who can bid even higher! ”
Xiao Letian's low roar scared Zai Chun to the point that his face paled, and he almost fell to the ground on his butt. An army without ideas might be stupid and loyal, but such an army was more likely to be bribed and rebelled against! If they really did meet someone with money … Zai Chun did not dare to think of the things that would happen later.
”Please teach me, Master …” ”Please teach me, Master …” Zai Chun's knees went weak and he kneeled on the ground. Xiao Letian heaved a long sigh, and pulled him up from the ground. The topic of conversation had finally reached the most core and most taboo.
”Zai Chun! ”Actually, all of your confusion is due to power. Whether it's the reformation of a new world or the reform of the military, what makes you at a loss is the influence that will have on the imperial power …”
”The entire history of human politics, in fact, is just a game of pendulum between centralization and division of power. Power is the public utility, and everyone wants to eat more. Just like I said before, it's just a huge pendulum, moving back and forth between the two critical points of centralization and division of power.”
”The pinnacle of centralization is the dictatorship. The pinnacle of decentralization is the separation of powers and the division of power. Why is it that Europe has not formed an effective and unified empire? Why was the Ancient Rome Empire destined to fall? ”Actually, it has something to do with their geography.”
