Chapter 445 (2/2)
Therefore, the foundation of the whole tribe is the clans and clans, big and small, not you, the superior chief!
Now, you, the superior chief, make use of the power given to you by many ethnic groups to seek personal gains. To paraphrase the words of later generations, what credibility do you have?
Throughout the history of human development, almost none of the dynasties at all times and in all countries can last forever.
There has been a change of power in any dynasty. One of the reasons for the change of power is the invasion of foreign enemies, and the other is the bottom-up opposition of the people of the country.
Let's not talk about the invasion of foreign enemies. It was caused by interests. And the bottom-up opposition of the local people is all kinds of uprisings!
Therefore, there is an idiom in China that makes the most incisive summary of the phenomenon of power change from bottom to top: the government forces the people to revolt!
The foundation of a country is the general public. As long as the general public can eat and sleep, who will revolt.
But once there is a problem in the upper class of a certain Dynasty, which oppresses and exploits the lower masses too hard, it will naturally cause the opposition of the masses.
As the saying goes, home is the world, that is to have a home before a country. The overall interests of the country are the interests of many families.
When the highest level of a dynasty desperately exploits the general public of the whole dynasty for its own self-interest, it is a violation of public anger. Naturally, the public will overthrow you and avoid being cruelly exploited.
There is such a phenomenon in dynasties or countries at all times and in all over the world. Although these primitive and backward North American Indians do not understand these general principles, they do not need to know too much about this kind of things. As long as the people feel that you, the chief or tribal leader, are not good, then the phenomenon of power change will naturally occur.
To be honest, junaluska did a good job.
If what he did this time is not revealed by stone bear and his brother Hengdao, then it will be gradually suppressed as time goes on. After all, junaluska has such power, and he can take over everything of gaoshu tribe by ”strengthening the power of the tribe”.
But still that sentence, like this disgraceful thing, you can do it quietly, and then use the power in your hand to slowly make it a reasonable thing. But you shouldn't say it so loud.
Once you put this kind of thing out, but also rightfully and grandly said, then immediately changed the nature.
You are not working for the interests of all the people. You are only working for your own interests.
Moreover, for self-interest, you do not even hesitate to use the power given to you by your clansmen to rob others and even want to kill them.
Who is not afraid of such a chief?
Now even the people of the four guard tribes of the royal court, even the people of the royal court, have changed their eyes when they look at junaluska
