C3193 Cannibals and Slavery (1/2)
All the Chinese soldiers who were present perked their ears up. Even the German and French personnel who were accompanying them started to take secret records. Everyone hoped to get some top secret information from Xiang Ying.
But unfortunately, today they met Xiang Ying who resembled a ghost. What came out of his mouth were all the secrets of the Asian cultural system, not any of the current military and national affairs.
”We have been living in China for five thousand years. Ever since we had the name 'China', the concept of 'the barbarian warrior of the barbarian race' has appeared along with it …”
”This is just like the night when there is daylight. It is like Yin and Yang coexisting together!”
”What exactly is Huaxia and what is Shedi? When the Führer told me this, he did not even bother to write a sentence from an old book. Instead, he told me a very long and interesting story.
”Around 5000 B.C., this is even older than the Xia Dynasty. According to the Western Chronicles, this is almost six thousand years ago …”
”In today's Ningbo region of Zhejiang Province, there is a civilization called the Hamdu Civilization... ”Don't ask me. I asked Master, but Master just laughed and didn't tell me how he knew …”
”Just listen to what you have to say! ”As for the Hamudu civilization, they are actually a very primitive tribal civilization. They drink blood, have just learned how to grow rice, can burn some of the roughest pottery, and can even fish …”
”But in this civilization, there is an evil habit... That is cannibalism! ”
”The people of this tribe will capture the people of the other tribes as if they were wild beasts when they are hunting. The most popular prey is the baby. They will stew the baby or the child along with the fish!”
”Don't puke …” This kind of cannibal humans still exist, the South America and many forests in Southeast Asia. Even today, there are still cannibals, this was how humans lived in the early days … ”
Xiang Ying opened the water bottle and drank a mouthful of water, suppressing the disgust in his heart.
”Let me tell you again, in this same period of civilization, there was another civilization called Half-Slope Civilization by the Yellow River …” ”It's better if you don't ask. Even if you do, I won't be able to explain the origin of this name …”
”This Half-Slope civilization is a little better than Ham Dow. At least it's a little more advanced in technology... They can grow corn, chestnuts and raise some chickens and ducks, and they can also fish and hunt... ”
”More importantly, the pottery technology of the Banpo people is much more advanced than that of the Hamudu civilization... ”The most important point is that this tribe has already abandoned their cannibalism. They are about to enter a complete farming civilization …”
”Well then, here comes the problem... May I ask which of these two tribes of the same period was civilized, and which was savage? If you really want to divide one, how do you think we should divide it? ”
”Does that even need to be said? ”Of course, the people on the other side of the Yellow River are a bit more civilized, and the man-eating Hamudu is naturally barbaric and barbaric!” A soldier answered loudly.
”That's right, that's the truth. In fact, if we can travel through time and space and return to the distant era of 5,000 B.C., would we be able to imagine such a scene?”
”It's the same tribe. If a civilization like Hamdu attacks the surrounding tribes, what will they do when the weaker and weaker tribes see that the attackers are cannibals?”
”Of course I'm going to risk my life! No one wanted to die, and even more so, no one wanted to be eaten! Therefore, even if these tribes are weak, they will risk their lives to resist it! ”
”But what if the main characters of the conquest were to be replaced with a slightly more civilized half-po? They attacked other small tribes not for the sake of killing people or eating humans, but just for the sake of increasing the number of slaves in their tribes, because their farmland needs more slaves to grow! ”
