"Han Tang!" Zhou Yu and Zhang Xun said almost in unison.

"Why?" A smile flickered across the corner of Luo Xin's mouth.

"Why else?" Zhou Yuning said: "During the Han and Tang Dynasties, all nations surrendered."

"Why did the nations surrender?" Luo Xin continued to ask.

"Whoever refuses to accept will be beaten!" Zhang Xun said with a blushing face.

"Do you rely on us literati to fight?" Luo Xin said lightly.

"This……"

Zhou Yu and Luo Xin paused, and Zhou Yu said with some dissatisfaction: "Warriors opened up borders to protect the country, while literati ruled the world. Now the people of Ming Dynasty live and work in peace and contentment, this is the credit of our literati, and Daming is disturbed by the frontier, it is the dereliction of duty of the warriors. "

Luo Xin shook his head lightly and said, "Brother Zhou, what is the difference between Han and Tang literati and today's Ming literati?"

"What's the difference?" Zhou Yu asked in a strange voice.Zhang Xun asked inexplicably.

That literati in the Han and Tang Dynasties didn't practice martial arts?That literati can't kill the enemy on the battlefield?Did the literati in the Han and Tang Dynasties look down on warriors?

Zhou Yu and Zhang Xun were silent. In fact, they also knew in their hearts that the reason for the prosperity of the Han and Tang Dynasties was inseparable from warriors, and that the status of warriors at that time was not as low as it is now, but even surpassed that of literati.Whether it is Wei Qing or Li Jing, no literati surpassed them in the Han and Tang Dynasties.

"At that time in the Han and Tang Dynasties, even an ordinary trafficker and pawn saw those vassals on the street and looked down at them with their heads up high, looking at the Ming Dynasty today, but it was the other way around. The land of Daming is holding its head high, but we Daming people have become cautious." Luo Xin said leisurely.

"But..." Zhou Yu said differently: "Warriors are messing up the country!"

Luo Xin looked at Zhou Yu beside him sincerely and said, "Have you ever seen a dynasty that lasted forever?"

"This……"

"Believe me carefully!" Zhang Xun said worriedly.

"It's nothing!" Luo Xin waved his hand and said, "This is the discussion between the three of us brothers, I won't tell others."

Zhou Yu was moved when he heard this, Luo Xin regarded himself as a brother!So he stopped hesitating and said: "No, there is no dynasty for all ages."

"So this has nothing to do with warriors disrupting the country. But there is one thing that has something to do with warriors."

"Which point?"

"If the status of warriors is not worse than that of literati, if the warriors of a country are strong, then even if the previous dynasty perishes, the next dynasty will still be people of our same clan, but it's just a different dynasty. It's like changing a family. It’s just the patriarch, maybe it’s a side branch that replaced the direct line. As the saying goes, the people are water, and the king is a boat. Water can carry a boat and overturn it. The king of the next dynasty will definitely not massacre the city, because he knows that the people are his. His people, his kindred.

but!

If the status of the warriors in a country is low, the warriors will be weak.Then it’s not as simple as people of the same race changing dynasties, and they will be trampled by the iron hooves of other races. Presumably the two brothers have read the history that the Yuan Dynasty slaughtered 1000 million households in the Central Plains, leaving only hundreds of millions of households?
This is not just as simple as a massacre, this massacre also broke our inheritance, and how many precious books we have were burned in the flames of war! "

Luo Xin sighed again and said, "The Song Dynasty was a warrior with a low status and had little dignity in front of the literati. The Yuan Dynasty was also the first dynasty in history to successfully invade by a foreign race. Isn't this worthy of our vigilance?"

The impact Zhou Yu and Zhang Xun received at this time was not ordinary. They had never heard of Luo Xin's thoughts.But now thinking about what Luo Xin said, and thinking about the records in history, are those famous generals in history vulgar?

If you think about it at a deeper level, which founding emperor was not a warrior?Did a pure literati become the founding emperor?

Jiangshan was defeated!
These words suddenly surfaced in the hearts of Zhou Yu and Zhang Xun.

Then... why did the status of warriors plummet once the country was conquered from the Song Dynasty on?

The warriors are in chaos!

This sentence came to the minds of the two of them again.

A thin layer of sweat immediately appeared on the bodies of the two of them!
It turns out that warriors are not vulgar, nor are warriors inherently inferior.All these are the needs of the emperor. He is afraid that the warriors will disrupt the country, and it is under the emperor's intentional guidance that the current status of the warriors has been created.If there is a great chaos on that day, the literati...

The status of the literati and the warriors was originally in the hands of the emperor. It is ridiculous that I still think that the literati are inherently noble, and the warriors are inherently vulgar!

"If you look at today's literati again, every one of them is not diligent and can't distinguish five grains, and every one of them is stupid when they read books. They have no strength to restrain a chicken, and they are useless. The scholars are talking about us scholars. Today's literati I have pushed myself to a morbid position. Among the six arts, ritual, music, archery, censorship, book, and number, how many people still observe and practice? Nowadays, scholars just learn the ritual, Le, book. Is there anyone else who wants to learn archery, imperialism, and counting?
Let alone archery, how many of today's scholars can ride a horse?If there is another national war like the Yuan invasion of the Song Dynasty, let alone killing the enemy with a sword, I am afraid that they will not even be able to run away, right? "

"Brother Xin..." Zhou Yu looked hesitant, and finally gritted his teeth and asked, "Do you think our Ming Dynasty will encounter a disaster like Song's?"

Luo Xin said, will it?Will!

He recalled the record of the ten-day massacre of Yangzhou after the fall of the Ming Dynasty and the entry of the Qing Dynasty.How can a dynasty that does not respect warriors, a dynasty that has no status for warriors, not ruin the country?
"It goes on like this..."

When Luo Xin said this, he kept his mouth shut.But Zhou Yu and Zhang Xun had already understood what he meant, and their faces turned extremely pale.

"The south... Japanese pirates keep harassing..." Luo Xin said softly.

"Small country!" Zhou Yu curled his lips in disdain.

"That's right!" Luo Xin sighed, "It's just a tiny country, and we have no choice but for Ming Dynasty. If the north in the future..."

"Northern?" Zhou Yu was stunned and said, "The northern part is not a big threat to Daming right now?"

Luo Xin sighed in confidence, how do you know Jurchen!

but……

There is really no way to say this kind of thing, and no one will believe it.

"Let's wait and see!" Luo Xin said sullenly.

The room fell into silence. After a while, Zhou Yu said, "Do you agree with Qingdi joining the army?"

Luo Xin grinned and said, "So what if I don't agree? Let alone me, what if my father doesn't agree? You don't know that my elder brother is stubborn! And I don't think there's anything wrong with it. Big Brother Congwu."

The room fell into silence again, Zhang Xun suddenly sighed and said, "Young brother's road is not easy to walk! It is full of hardships and dangers. Not only do you have to charge forward, but also beware of the literati behind you..."
