Princess Consort of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 96

Although Shen Sanwen hated what the Wa Kingdom did in modern times, he would not use any method of subjugation and extermination to deal with it, nor did he think of harming the people of the Wa Kingdom in the past.If one day Shen Sanwen can dominate the politics of the Tang Dynasty, he will not have the heart of aggression.

After all, they are just some of the lowest-level exploited machines.

In order to satisfy their own ambitions for power and desire for wealth, the rulers of the Japanese country have trained these machines that only know slaughter and obedience for generations, and formed a system.These robot armies were taught military salutes, regulations, and obedience, but they were not taught what is human, what is humanity, what is racial reverence.

The culture on the European continent, and by extension the culture on the American continent, is far less bloody than this small island country.

Shen Sanwen wanted to resolve the disaster from the root cause.Although he also remembers what Marx said, if there are three times the profits, then many people will abandon all morality and responsibility and devote themselves to profit.But he is willing to give it a try and pass on China's excellent ideology and culture to the Wa country, as well as the surrounding Silla, which has a similar level of thought as the Wa country. If it really comes to a certain day in the future, many tragedies may be avoided.

He communicated carefully with Cui Shenji and the Japanese envoys, and learned about the current situation of the Japanese country.

There are three generations of people studying the Tang Dynasty in the Wa Kingdom.

The first generation was Emperor Tenchi, who learned the political system of the Tang Dynasty, initially abolished the land private ownership and slavery system of the Wa Kingdom, adopted the feudal land system, and completed the transformation from slavery to feudalism.

The second generation is Emperor Tenmu, who learned from the imperial power system of the Tang Dynasty, strengthened the centralization of power, and consolidated the feudal land system.It was also the Emperor Tenmu who changed the title of the king of the Japanese kingdom to the emperor, established the emperor-centered ruling order and the eldest son inheritance system, and used astrology and blessings to deify the emperor's power and increase the Japanese people's ideological awe of the emperor.

The third generation is the current Emperor Jitong. This is the first female emperor of Wa to exercise imperial power on her own, and she succeeded to the throne almost at the same time as Emperor Wu.During Gaozong's period, because of the war with Silla, Wa broke off diplomatic relations with Datang for Silla.Then Silla was defeated, and the Japanese re-sent envoys were coldly received by Gaozong.After the new emperor succeeded to the throne, seeing the establishment of Wu Zhou, he sent envoys to study culture and art.

The Japanese imitated the Tang Dynasty, but only got the fur, lacking the understanding of the inner spirit, the character of the people of the Tang Dynasty, the respect for the strong men, the respect for the heroes, the morality of not killing innocent people indiscriminately, and the deep national pride. I don't know.

They only learned the spirit of martial arts, the magical effect of order, the military training method of the Tang Dynasty, and the discipline of obedience, and evolved it into a cruel ninja training system that has no respect for life and no pity for life. A deformed Bushido spirit was formed.

This should be related to the learning direction of the Japanese.The coastal location, lack of food, and frequent disasters make people in this country cherish life more and fight harder.They are eager for the skills and knowledge of the Tang Dynasty that can improve their lives, but they sneer at the true cultural essence.

Live enough savage.

But such a Japanese country, why should it learn Datang's world-leading technology at this time?
It's not scary that the savage leader leads a group of uneducable orcs. What's scary is that each of them holds a sharp weapon and treats the same race and the same kind bloodily, walking farther and farther away from the road of humanity.

It has been wrong since accepting the first batch of envoys sent to Tang Dynasty. One is to teach the wrong direction, and the other is to teach the wrong people.Of course, the people at that time cannot be blamed for this. After all, the Wa country is far away in the sky, and there is no way to verify it. The people of the Tang Dynasty only cherished the joy of spreading culture and cared for the friendly countries who were willing to come to congratulate.

However, these cannot be corrected.

As for why you are not willing to use force to treat these people?
I once read such a passage, "There is no omnipotent culture on the earth. China is immersed in farming in a closed environment and is self-sufficient. It is neither necessary nor possible to go abroad to plunder. But internally, it is necessary to pay attention to the vast Yellow River, the The Yangtze River Basin is governed in a unified way to avoid mutual harm in irrigation and disaster prevention between different river sections. This kind of farming ecology has precipitated into a cultural psychology that pursues stability, unity, conservatism, and centralization, even with navigation technology like Zheng He , and have no intention of maritime strategy.”

Even though Tang Taizong and Gaozong had world-leading armies, they did not subdue the Quartet, but allowed all ethnic groups to multiply and respect the Tang Dynasty.Not because of the pursuit of stability and conservatism, but because China at that time was the most glorious moment and the moment when the sense of national identity was strongest. There was no need to carry out this kind of war of attrition and bully the weak to show strength.

Even if Gaozong expanded his territory, it was more of a passive challenge with neighboring countries and seeking justice for historical issues.The expansion of Goryeo, the numerous bones left behind by Emperor Sui Yang's three expeditions to Goryeo, and the destruction of families caused by the seizure of Tubo and Turkic customs, one by one, this nation has never forgotten for generations.

The Chinese are not allowed to be bullied and trampled, and all blood debts will be recovered one by one. This is the answer sheet that this nation has given to all invaders throughout the ages.

However, this nation has a heart of benevolence and righteousness, and has never thought of aggression.

In his bones, since the Spring and Autumn Period, there has been awe of life, compassion for the same kind, and adherence to morality.

This nation has never lacked people who are willing to dedicate their lives to the country and to the righteousness of the world.There are those who are loyal to the emperor and patriots who die for their confidantes, those who act in solidarity and love for allies, those who are diligent and dedicated to their lives, the kindness that prospers the people and the people who suffer, the fairness in judging cases according to the law, and the integrity that promises everything.

Enlightenment had a profound impact on this nation.

The idea of ​​human nature formed by long-term historical development is also the characteristic that distinguishes this nation from other nations.

Therefore, although there have been tragedies of changing sons and eating during famines, tragedies of massacring cities after they have been destroyed, and tragedies of plundering and mutilating civilians by troops with lax military discipline, they have never affected the correct concept of this nation and its understanding of human nature. The pursuit of truth, goodness and beauty.

Perhaps people have different evaluations of many famous figures in history, but for the culprits of the above-mentioned tragedies, every reasonable person criticizes them with words and pens.

Enlightenment does have some effect. However, Shen Sanwen wonders how long it will take to establish true cultural beliefs in other countries and correct many unreasonable systems only through cultural transmission.

If the feudal land system was implemented smoothly enough in the Wa Kingdom, where the people’s economy was self-sufficient enough, it would be relatively easy to transform the public opinion in the Wa Kingdom. If the survival of the people was a problem, it would be ridiculous to talk about human nature.

Moreover, the Tang Dynasty also had many social problems, so he was actually worried about the transformation of other countries?
It is even more urgent to reform the Tang Dynasty.

　Thank you Gun Duzi for your reward, thank you for your recommendation tickets, and I will list the names when I have some time.It feels difficult to complete Chapter 23 at 30:2.I stayed in Nanjing for a while, so this chapter can be regarded as my thinking at that time and now.The current positioning of this article will not be written as a hegemony article, and it will be played here and there.
