Da Qin: Rebuked the dissatisfied ministers, held the sword towards the emperor at the beginning

Chapter 123 God Emperor!

Tu Ju's attitude was very firm and he accepted death extremely.

That is to say, Tu Ju firmly believes that the absolute military power can definitely maintain the empire's political form of colonization and military slavery for generations!
So is that really the case?
Yin Lie expressed his extreme disagreement.

The Central Plains and the Baiyuan Border are not small places, or have very small populations.

To be precise, even if the millions of officials in the Central Plains were eliminated, there would still be a total population of 900 million!
The total population of Baiyue is more than two million...

Yin Lie's data was recorded in the "Book of Han" of later generations: the population of the Nanyue Kingdom was 1307 million.

The population of Dongou and Minyue is 3 million.

That is: the detailed total population of Baiyue Land is 240 million people.

Equivalent to one-third of the total population of Guanzhong.

Guanzhong now has about 700 million.

What does this mean?

Tu Ju simply wanted to occupy Guanzhong and then militarily enslave the Central Plains and Baiyue!

however……

The combat power of Da Qin's army has not yet risen to an epoch-making level!
That is to say, for Zhongyuan and Baiyue.

You, Da Qin, are not invincible!

The Central Plains has vast strategic depth...

The deep mountains and old forests of Baiyue are also everywhere. If all the people go into the mountains to fight guerrillas, they will be slowly exhausted by the Qin army.

Da Qin was also very uncomfortable.

And the military strength of the Central Plains...

Tu Ju’s conclusion is: The kingly way can never defeat the overbearing!

But the problem is...

When extreme oppression occurs, the royal way of the Central Plains will also quickly give birth to new tyranny to compete with the tyranny of Great Qin!
After all, the population base and land area of ​​the Central Plains are there. According to Tu Ju's theory, it is impossible for the empire to swallow them in a short time.

The reason why Yingzheng was able to unify for ten years.

Politics, diplomacy, military, economics, espionage and penetration are multi-pronged.

It's not all about military force.

In summary.

As long as the 800 million people in the Central Plains are given buffer space and time to accumulate hatred!

The Central Plains will surely breed its own domineering banner!

If you can't beat it, then join directly!

What a simple truth.

The best example is Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu!

In a way.

Xiang Yu's tyranny is even more extreme than that of First Emperor Ying Zheng... much more!

Ying Zheng tells the truth...

There was no order to massacre the city directly.

Including the six royal families, they are also relatively tolerant.

and so.

Ying Zheng chose the method of frequent eastward patrols to shock the people of Kyushu.

But Xiang Yu betrayed his faith and massacred Zhang Han's 20 troops!
Not only that.

After Xiang Yu captured Xiangcheng, he chose to massacre the city and kill all the civilians in the city.

And the Chengyang Massacre, killing all the civilians in the city who assisted the Qin army in resisting.

Xin'an Massacre, after conquering Xin'an, the Xin'an City defenders who resisted tenaciously were massacred.

The massacre of Qi Dynasty, the entrapment and killing of Tian Rong and the unknown number of surrendered soldiers, the large-scale looting and burning and killing, forced the post-restoration Qi State!

And Tian Rong has a younger brother named Tian Heng...

Tian Heng was a very charismatic person. After his death, all his disciples and five hundred soldiers committed suicide and were buried to follow him!

At last.

Well known.

Xiang Yu entered Guanzhong and stayed there for more than a month. When the troops of the princes arrived, Xiang Ji was appointed as the commander, and he killed Ziying and the clans of all the princes of Qin.Then they slaughtered Xianyang, burned their palaces, captured their children, collected their treasures, goods, and wealth, and divided them among the princes!

Due to Xiang Yu's hatred for Da Qin and the blood feud between Xiang Yan and Xiang Liang, Xiang Yu massacred the Qin Dynasty palace in a rage, divided the palace's treasures and beauties, and burned Epang Palace...

The fire has been burning for several months and has not stopped!
This should be domineering enough, right?

But Xiang Yu's final outcome was that Wujiang committed suicide and reaped the consequences!
One of the very important reasons is that Xiang Yu went too far when he entered Guanzhong!

All the people in Guanzhong were eager to eat his flesh and sleep on his skin, and this gave Liu Bang a political base!
The same reason.

Now Tu Ju wants to do even better than Xiang Yu and slaughter millions of Central Plains officials...

At the same time, Da Qin also wants to start a war on two fronts, the Southern Expedition and the Northern Expedition!
Yin Lie said it politely.

If Tu Ju really does this!

There will definitely be a person in the Central Plains who will lead the hegemonic banner. Then this person will turn around and unite with the barbarians in the north and the Baiyue people to attack on three fronts!

Can Da Qin withstand it?
As for the alliance with the barbarians, it is tantamount to seeking the skin of a tiger.

It depends on the situation.

Your Qin State is going to engage in colonialism and military enslavement for generations!

I will also abide by the so-called distinction between barbarians and barbarians!

Isn't that a real living person who was suffocated to death by urine?

all in all!
Anyway...

Tu Ju's strategy to dominate the Qin Dynasty obviously can only exist in theory, and it is absolutely unworkable in reality.

It's too extreme!

……

on the throne.

Ying Zheng counted it in detail and said: "Political and national policies, commercial and economic, land system, legal core... I just mentioned it, what about the rest of the culture?"

Ying Zheng still gave Tu Ju a chance to speak.

Just like he would give Yin Lie a chance to remonstrate before.

Ying Zheng is willing to listen to different opinions.

of course.

Will it be used in the end?

The First Emperor will understand after meeting and listening.

suddenly.

"His Majesty!"

Tu Ju's voice suddenly rose and he said: "As long as our country, the Qin Dynasty, takes the legalists and military strategists as the core, and the political strategists as the auxiliary, we can already be impeccable at the cultural level!"

"As for the Confucian ideals, decadent kingly ideas, etc. in the Central Plains, I still say the same thing, they must be abandoned!"

"What our Great Qin really wants to do is to wipe out the royal ways and purge Confucianism, lest these things weaken the will of our children in Guanzhong, confuse the minds of our people in Guanzhong, and poison the future country of our Great Qin, Zuo!"

……

Tu Ju spoke out about the attitude towards culture under the policy of Ba Qin!

First of all, we respect the magic weapon and serve as his deputy!
That means...

In terms of literature, we will continue to practice Qin law, that is, military law!
In essence, military combat power is still the first core reference!
In terms of martial arts, he must be a military strategist.

Since it is extreme hegemonic militarism.

There is no such thing as martial arts.

The main reason why we need to enforce laws is to facilitate the management of the people, quickly collect taxes, and concentrate strategic military resources.

Simultaneously.

The law of Qin exists around the people all the time, and accompanying the growth of the descendants of Guanzhong.

This makes Guanzhong men's ability to enforce military law extremely high!
Just give the order!

Go forward even if you die!

The wound must always be on the front and chest. If the back is injured... it is really a shame for the Great Qin warriors!

have to say.

By doing this, Tu Ju could indeed maintain or even improve Great Qin's military strength.

But still that sentence...

Da Qin's army does not have an epoch-making combat advantage!

Not to mention the tripartite alliance of the Northern Territory, the Central Plains, and Baiyue, the whole world attacked Qin!
Let’s just talk about the future of Yingzheng after his death.

Da Qin faced the heroes of the Central Plains alone... What a real fight...

Maybe someone will say.

Except for Xiang Yu, all the eighteen princes are young people.

If Han Xin, the soldier immortal, loses Liu Bang, he will probably never be able to get ahead in his life.

But Yin Lie still said the same thing.

There are still many ruthless people in the Tian family of Qi State, and even if Long Qie, the most powerful general under the Overlord's command, is gone, they will still be unable to withstand them.

Needless to say, Zhao Guo...

The blood feud between Qin and Zhao is too numerous to write down!

There you go!
As long as the original three parties of Zhao, Qi, and Chu form an alliance, even if Han, Wei, and Yan are playing soy sauce on the side, it will not be a big problem.And most importantly...

As long as Xiang Yu forms an alliance, there will be no intrigue over whether you go first or he goes first.

Because Xiang Yu will definitely rush out and fight the Qin army immediately!

And there is a high probability of winning...

Feather's bravery!

Unparalleled!

Xiang Yu's bravery must not be underestimated.

Yin Lie believes that among the many famous generals in Da Qin, there is one who can face Xiang Yu directly on the battlefield and withstand the pressure.

Besides Li Xin, there was only Tongwuhou Wang Bi.

note!

It is the vanguard who faces the battle...

After all, Duke Heng is still old.

Anyway, after all.

Xiang Yu's fighting style is equivalent to the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms. You can change it in any way you want. If I hit you with a palm that has accumulated all my inner strength, you must be able to catch it before anything happens.

otherwise!

Xiang Yu can penetrate the enemy's lineup with one direct blow and defeat it!
That's why.

Only in history will the famous defeat of Pengcheng occur.

Xiang Yu's 56 elite troops were actually able to crush Liu Bang's [-] army!
And the Battle of the Giant Deer!

Xiang Yu also managed to defeat Zhang Han and Wang Li's 40 troops with only tens of thousands of troops!
Especially Wang Li was captured alive!
20 Great Wall Legion...

It's all over!
therefore.

Only Yin Lie would say that the third generation of the Junwu Wang family is really not good.

He had recommended Wang Li to plant trees before, and there was absolutely nothing wrong with him.

After all the ruins, the Baier Qinguan will eventually belong to Chu!

Tu Ju did not overestimate the military strength of Great Qin Pass...

But one thing is for sure.

That is, Tu Ju obviously extremely underestimated the military strength of the Central Plains.

Perhaps only Zhao Bianqi, led by Li Mu in the past, could gain Tu Ju's respect.

At this time.

"Directly destroy the royal way and eliminate Confucianism?"

Ying Zheng frowned and said, "Then the Confucian etiquette can no longer be used by Da Qin?"

Ying Zheng is quite fond of Confucian etiquette.

the reason is simple.

Ying Zheng once had a curiosity.

Why do the Ying royal family and ordinary civilians have one head and two hands...

Why can the Ying family be naturally superior?

Of course it’s because of the existence of etiquette!

It is etiquette that establishes class divisions from an ideological level.

It is etiquette that elevates the majesty of the Ying family to an unattainable position, and instills fear and admiration in the people!

If we really follow what Tu Ju said and completely deny the existence of Confucian etiquette...

So what to replace?

"His Majesty."

Tu Ju thought for a while and said: "The witchcraft rituals of the Yin Yang family can be used to replace the Confucian etiquette! It's just that... then your majesty will need to change his name from the emperor to the god of the Yin Yang family!"

"With divine power superimposed on royal power, Your Majesty has completed his self-deification as a god!"

"In this way, from the ideological level, we can replace the Confucian etiquette of monarchs and ministers and turn it into the worship of the supreme divine authority!"

"At that time, His Majesty will not only be the First Emperor, but also the God Emperor!"

……

Tu Ju was not hostile to the Yin Yang family.

Quite the contrary!

In order to completely eliminate the Confucian kingship, Tu Ju would rather pull out the Yin and Yang family to replace him.

Only the Yin Yang family has this qualification.

Besides, Yin Lie had laid the groundwork before.

It's just that Tu Ju directly tampered with Yin Lie's proposal of the separation of the three powers of destiny into a religious ideological rule superimposed on divine power and royal power!

to be honest!
The emperor is the supreme god!

The people should have unlimited faith in the God-Emperor!

This primitive belief in gods is more inspiring and more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people than the concepts of loyalty to the king and country created by Confucianism!
"What a name for the God Emperor!"

Yin Lie didn't want to refute anything, he just took it as Tu Ju's last words.

Let's see what kind of shocking words this great minister of the Qin Dynasty can say at the end of his life.

"When the Confucian concept of etiquette and law is eliminated, how will the imperial authority deal with the patriarchal system that involves the people's system at the bottom?"

Yin Lie previously wanted to use Confucian witchcraft rituals, Feng Shui, witchcraft and dance culture, etc., to seize the underlying foundation of the Confucian patriarchal legal system in terms of marriage and marriage.

no doubt.

As long as the senior officials of Da Qin can set an example and praise it highly, even if the Yin Yang family's shamanic rituals cannot compare with the thousand-year-old Confucian rituals, they will definitely set off a new trend.

So come on.

The public sentiment and public opinion of the people at the bottom of Jiuzhou are no longer the words of Confucianism!

That is to say: What Yin Lie wants is for Confucianism and Yin and Yang schools to check and balance each other.

But Tu Ju wanted to completely eliminate the idea of ​​kingship and all Confucian concepts of etiquette from the physical level.

Not to mention whether it can be done.

Suppose you really let Tu Ju do it.

So where will Da Qin go in the end?
"Ha ha!"

Tu Ju sneered twice and said: "Why does Qin Yucheng ask questions knowingly? If Confucianism does not exist, the patriarchal system will naturally disappear."

"The various systems at the bottom are filled in by the Legalists and Yin-Yang families, and a series of sacrificial rituals can be held according to the customs of the Yin-Yang families."

"As for the patriarchal system of father and son, respect for relatives, and filial piety as the first priority... we can all replace it with belief in the God-Emperor!"

……

have to say.

Tu Ju is still somewhat acumen in politics.

Replace Confucian ethics of loyalty and filial piety with religious beliefs.

It does work in theory.

however.

And only in theory.

Notice.

Etiquette has been passed down for thousands of years.

Take the core concept of the military strategist: glory, and the glory of the nobles in Guanzhong... A big part of it is loyalty!

I offer my loyalty and life to His Majesty the Emperor!
His Majesty the Emperor bestows upon me military merit and glory!

This is the core culture of the deepest logic of the military strategist!
and also……

"Cough cough!"

Yin Lie twitched his lips and said: "Guowei, first of all, Legalism originated from Confucianism, and military strategists and Confucianism also have many similar concepts..."

"If you want to completely eliminate all traces of Confucianism, it will inevitably affect the underlying ideological logic of Legalists, military strategists, and political strategists."

"For example, turning loyalty to the king into faith in the God-Emperor... It seems to be just a nominal difference, but in fact it is far different!"

……

Yin Lie believes that Confucian kingly culture is extremely resilient!
It’s hard to completely wipe out…

In other words, it is simply impossible to eliminate all traces of Confucian culture!
Looking at more than three thousand years from Ji Zhou to modern times.

The Confucian royal way has failed many times.

But every time, they used both large and small methods to assimilate the other party.

and so.

Tu Ju's worries were actually correct.

The ideological encroachment of Confucian kingship is even more terrifying than the hegemony of military force.

unless……

Only with the complete explosion of modern ideological trends can the Confucian kingly thoughts of the imperial and centralized dynasties be replaced.

to be honest.

It’s just that the time hasn’t come yet.

No matter how hard Tu Ju tried, even if his worries were in the right direction, it was all in vain!
