Chapter 60 Sun Quan's Celtic Saying
Chapter 60 Sun Quan's Celtic Saying
"This method should not be difficult to understand. Under normal circumstances, we obtain materials outside the region, mainly through trade." Guo Kang said: "For example, the output of the Venetians is actually not enough to support themselves. The acquisition of living materials is done through commerce.”
"But as we said just now, nomadic areas are much poorer than other areas. People here are short of supplies, and there is nothing valuable to trade. Farming areas also have their own breeding industry. Cattle, sheep and animal products are not Necessities, but conversely, agricultural products and workshop products in farming areas are irreplaceable for pastoral areas.”
"What's more serious is that both the Republic of Venice and the Golden Account of the Yuejibehan era have controlled important transportation hubs and trade lines - Mobei has absolutely no such thing."
"So here lies the contradiction. In fact, it should not be difficult to understand: For example, if you urgently need supplies, but you don't have money, what can you do in this situation?"
"Then we have no choice but to not pay," Tuo Huan said.
"Look, it's not difficult for him at all." Guo Kang said.
"..." The Zhu brothers and sisters were silent for a while.
"In short, I think this question is unsolvable." Guo Kang continued: "It has nothing to do with what era or ethnic group, nor has it anything to do with moral character and religious belief. In this environment, people can only maintain this kind of life. Status. This is the first question I asked, what is nomadism."
"Knowing this conclusion, we can also determine the follow-up issues. Nomads are not a fixed ethnic group, but a general term for people who use a way of life. This is why, since the Zhou Dynasty, everyone has been fighting with northern nomads , but it never seems to end.”
"There is no clear boundary between nomadic areas and farming areas. Most of our historical records are stories from the perspective of the Central Plains, so the impression is always that nomads are constantly trying to enter the Central Plains, but in fact, there may be more in the other direction." Guo Kang pointed to the Monan and Hetao areas on the map: "People from the Central Plains are actually constantly entering the grasslands, and the scale is larger than the former, and the time is longer than the former."
"Is there such a saying?" Zhu Wenkui became interested.
"Historical Records says that the ancestors of the Xiongnu were descendants of the Xia Dynasty. Xia Jie's concubine gave birth to Chunwei, who was expelled by the Shang Dynasty and fled to the north. After that, the Xiongnu tribe gradually formed." Guo Kang introduced: "This may be It’s just a fabled legend, or a story fabricated by the Huns to gain connections, but behind the story, there is a phenomenon that has been happening continuously since ancient times.”
"Actually, there is another thing. I don't know if you have noticed it." He thought for a while, and then gave another example: "During the Qin and Han Dynasties, the Dayue clan first lived in Hexi. It is said that at that time, the people there They are barbarians with high noses and deep eyes, more like the Persians now. But over time, tribes like the Da Yuezhi were driven to the west, and now there are people who look like people from the Central Plains.”
"The same is true on the grasslands. According to records, the Wusun people in the Han Dynasty looked like 'blue eyes and red beards, and they looked like monkeys'. Think about it, what are these characteristics?"
"Isn't this the Celtics?" Theodora was quite surprised, and couldn't help asking: "But this metaphor...is really not polite."
"Don't be so surprised." The queen glanced at her and said, "Many of the barbarians have colorful hair, which is not unusual."
"I'm just a little surprised, they have traveled so far, they have all reached the east." Theodora explained.
"It's possible that they are indeed similar ethnic groups. But it's not that they went to the east, but that these people originally came from the east." Guo Kang corrected: "During the time of the Yellow Emperor, their hometown was in the north of Beihai, and then they went south all the way. , to the west, they ran everywhere."
"Really?" Theodora couldn't believe it: "Where did you see this?"
"Back then, I followed a group of well-educated Confucianists." Guo Kang made an excuse casually: "It's too unpopular, and it's normal if you don't know about it."
"Then why did they travel so far, across more than half of the continent, to Gaul and Britain, but didn't they go south?" Theodora asked, "They have already arrived in the Western Regions, why have they never heard of these people?" Appeared in the Central Plains."
"Because Seris at that time was ruled by some wise rulers called 'Holy Kings'." Guo Kang prevaricated solemnly: "The Holy King is very benevolent, and these barbarians are ashamed of themselves and are not worthy of being the people of the Holy Prince. Therefore, Not only did they dare not go to the Central Plains, they didn't even dare to stay in their hometown. They only wanted to be as far away from here as possible, so that it became the territory of the Orientals. It can be seen how great the virtues of the Holy King and how great their achievements are. Sublime."
"..." Theodora was speechless.
"I believe that this is the knowledge taught by the great Confucianism." Rang Na smiled and said, "The tone of speech is the same as that of Mr. Huang."
"It's okay, you don't have to worry, what he said is not entirely true." Tuo Huan comforted: "Brother, I happen to know about this. The Celtics are indeed going east."
"Huh?" Theodora looked even more disbelieving: "Where did you learn it from?"
"It's written in the story book. I thought you had read it before." Tuo Huan said, "During the Three Kingdoms period, Sun Quan of the Wu Kingdom had purple-red beard and hair, and blue-green eyes. Obviously he was also a Celtic." people."
"???" Theodora looked blank.
"Didn't you read "Gallic Wars"?" Tuo Huan reminded: "The Celts beat us Romans, and they often came by hundreds of thousands and hundreds of thousands, and then they couldn't beat them. This Sun Quan also often brought Take a hundred thousand soldiers, and then you can't beat them and walk away."
"I think his performance against the Central Plains people is similar to that of the Celtics against us. We Romans are similar to the Central Plains people, so Sun Quan should indeed be a Celtic."
This time, even Guo Kang was dumbfounded.The room fell silent again.
