C1608 Rule of law in the Qing Dynasty (1/2)
Sakamoto Ryoma was indeed worthy of being the first person in Japan to have a good look at the world. They were open-minded, had profound eyes, and were good at absorbing new knowledge.
To the Qing Dynasty, to the west, to the Central Plains culture, and even to Xiao Letian's traitorous thoughts, Sakamoto Ryoma would never take the prejudice and selectively study them. He would only accept and accept these thoughts with the spirit of Hai Na Bai Chuan.
His personality was extremely similar to Xiao Letian's, so they could chat at the same time. Sakamoto Ryoma's personality was naturally born, and Xiao Letian's personality was influenced by the network environment in his previous life.
People who had experienced the explosion of the internet knowledge had a much wider horizon than the ancient people. The knowledge was complex, but they were not adept at it. The elites of the ancient times were all specialized talents.
For Xiao Letian to meet an ancient person like the Mr. Ryoma, who was not picky with food, and was willing to accept all kinds of ideas, it was really not easy.
Using a third party's perspective to explain the story of the Central Plains to Zai Chun, Zai Chun felt that it was very suitable, no matter what it was.
If Wang Huaiyuan, Xiang Ying and the others were to come over and say the same thing, the little emperor would only think that he was here to provoke them.
”Undeniably, the fighting spirit of the Central Plains civilization has been declining gradually since the time of the Tang Dynasty. Needless to say, the Song Dynasty belonged to the power of the Mongolian and there was a small explosion during the first year of the Ming Dynasty. However, it gradually declined and was eventually defeated by the Qing Empire …”
”There are many reasons for the gradual disappearance of the martial spirit. The Prime Minister did not explain in detail to His Majesty, but the Prime Minister also said that the weakening of the martial spirit does not mean that the Chinese do not wish for victory!”
”In contrast, the unity of the Chinese is deeply rooted, and the expansion of the territory is an important criterion to judge whether an emperor is holy or not!”
”Especially in the Western Regions! This land bears countless dreams of the Han people, because the two top-notch Central Plains empires, the Han Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty, have once operated this land. In the minds of scholars, whether or not it could be inherited from the Western Regions is already the most important benchmark for whether or not a dynasty is top-notch! ”
”And all of this, was never expected to be realized in the hands of your Manchu! Western Regions, Outer Pass, Mongolia, Tibet … This series of lands that the Chinese never thought of actually appeared in the same map. The Great Clear Universe Map could really be said to be the peak of Manchu's martial power! ”
”The dreams of the Chinese for the past thousand years have been perfected by your Manchu. How can the Confucian Scholar Group not flatter them? In addition to the Qing dynasty's praise for the Three Priests of the Confucian Daoists, your rule has increased by a lot. This is actually a very important reason why the Qing Dynasty can rule the Central Plains as an alien for so long! ”
The little emperor was dumbfounded. He listened to every word with hunger and thirst. This was a truth that no Confucian teacher would teach him. This was what he meant by ”dry goods”.
”In other words, when the Manchu ruled over the Central Plains, where would the legal principles of the Great Qing Dynasty lie? The other is a respected scholar who can rule the world with the scholars. This way, the scholars who can control public opinion will naturally praise the orthodoxy of Manchu! ”
”And the second thing is that if you want people to flatter you, then you have to flatter me! ”And to expand the territory and satisfy the unreal desires of the Han Chinese for thousands of years is to flatter and flatter them!”
