Great Han Empire

Chapter 361 Roland

Thanks to Roland_Death Knight book friend for the book review, I am very grateful.

Book review one:

Watched "Deep Plains - The Legend of Heroes in Troubled Times" ".cmfu./showboo.asp?bl_id=10263"

For the first time, I felt like I saw a real historical novel
In my understanding, novels should run in strict accordance with the possible development track of the background and environment under the background set by oneself...

this is the real novel
The theme of the Three Kingdoms has always been my favorite, because I have a relative understanding of this period of history.

Later, I accidentally saw "The Big Man..." From then on, there was one more book that must be read every day...

Under Meng Zida's pen, a man with almost real settings is presented in front of his eyes
When I read books, I don’t like unlimited fantasies, I only like reasonable imagination, which is the so-called luck

In fact, Dahan is a country based on Taoism and scholars as its cornerstone.

The Romance of the Three Kingdoms is also a novel, and it represents the Three Kingdoms in the eyes of the people of the Ming Dynasty, just like so many crazy costume movies on TV now...

In the era of the Great Han Dynasty, loyalty to the emperor was not the main theme. Of course, hundreds of years of Confucianism still left countless successors. These are the literati represented by Zhu Jun and some party members. As for Wang Yun, Yuan Shao and the like are actually scholars. , They are for the benefit of their own family, for the benefit of the family, they can dance with traitors...

I think this is why Yuan Shao changed a lot before he started to assume the responsibility of being a patriarch.

As far as real history is concerned, apart from the fact that the power of the Great Han Dynasty was highly concentrated on the emperor during the reign of Emperor Wu and Emperor Guangwu, most of the time the power was entangled among eunuchs, scholars, and literati...

Everyone did not have a real sense of loyalty to the emperor. In that era, far from being able to realize the people-oriented thought of "people-oriented", they first thought of scholars, because in that era, they only thought of scholars now. It is the intellectuals, the bourgeoisie, they want money and money, knowledge and knowledge, talents and talents...

Scholars were the most powerful class at that time. To put it bluntly, in that era, the supporters of scholars won the world
This is why Liu Xiu can win the world so easily, because he has the support of scholars...

The rights and status of the gentry were really broken in the Eastern Jin Dynasty until the election of Emperor Taizong Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty before the plan was introduced...

So at the end of the Han Dynasty, to save the big man as a slave, the leopard had to make a choice between various interests... Only with supreme authority can he force the scholars to accept himself, and only the scholars who unite can be united. Molecules, in order to let their own ideas develop as much as possible, which is why Leopard must first be loyal to the people of the Han Dynasty, and to the court of the Han Dynasty...

Scholars are the real terminators of the big man, because they are greedy, so the big man finally forgot that the mighty Cao Cao united countless scholars under his own butcher knife, so he was the most powerful, but in the end Cao Wei still died in another The same is true for the "Sima family" of the Dashi family. The so-called success is also a scholar, and the failure is also a scholar...

This is also why so far, so many scholars who are optimistic and admired by Leopard have no one to help him except the Tian family...

However, Yuan Shao can get the support of so many scholars. It can be said that if there is no division of troops between Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, then the final outcome of Leopard and Beijiang is certain and will surely be defeated. What Tian Feng said is not wrong Unfortunately, Yuan Shao cared too much about the interests of the family, but forgot to take care of the interests of the gentry, so Cao Cao's division of troops was inevitable...

This gave Leopard and Beijiang a chance...

In fact, Leopard and Beijiang can be said to be the continuation of the Yellow Turban, but they are more rational and more in line with the wishes of the real people.In that era, if the people were suppressed, if they broke out, then the power would be infinite. This is also the reason why Great Qin and Wang Mang of the Western Han Dynasty perished, but the difference is that in the peasant uprisings in the late Qin and Western Han It was the scholars who usurped the achievements of the peasant uprising... How to intensify and guide the anger and outburst of the people is the key to the success of Beijiang and Leopards, and it is also the only chance...

Mengzi's big man intersperses all links, various classes, various schools, and various ideas. According to the development of the situation, everyone is divided and combined, and the combination is divided. As the saying goes, where the benefits lie, the trend of the trend..., everything is in harmony. So natural, so smooth...

This is also the difference between him and other so-called novels

YY can only be YY, not novels, because they are staged, disjointed, incoherent, and do not conform to the setting of the scene... just like the cartoons of many TV dramas in Japan...

But Meng Zi's "Big Man..." can be said to be a real novel. There may be some flaws, but it is already very valuable. It conforms to the flow of the trend restricted by this environment, and flows incomparably smoothly. flowing forward...

Black Qin Fengda’s Heroes in a Troubled Times will continue for a period of time, sometimes every day, and sometimes not for several months...

And Mengzi's "Big Man..." is basically available every day, which is even more precious...

"Buddha is the Tao" is a classic, but now it is obvious that the beginning and the follow-up plot are incoherent. The author has changed the main line drastically after he just started writing and writing to a certain stage, so left a flaw...

But "Big Man_" has no problems in this aspect at all... It is very smooth from the main line, which reflects the author's deep understanding of that era...

Many people may ask why so many famous military generals have been accepted by Leopards, not others...

This is understandable. Under the circumstances at that time, yellow scarves were popping up all over the place, Yuan Shao hadn't started yet, Cao Cao was the same, Dong Zhuo was still in northern Xinjiang, Huangfu and Lu Zhi's military power had been released..., and there were many talents in Hebei and Xiliang, And the generals of that era had a characteristic, most of them came from reckless backgrounds, and what they admired were heroes, so they would be proud of serving under the leopard tent first...

However, Sun Jian, Xia Houyuan, Ma Teng and others who were born in the gentry, and Guan Yu who had a close relationship with Liu Bei first considered the interests of the gentry (Liu Bei first considered the interests of the Liu family, and he wanted to use his own power to fight against the world's rebellion. It is also a very big potential factor why he wants to attack Sun Wu in the Three Kingdoms...), so they are definitely impossible to fight on the same front as the leopard...

Speaking of generals, let’s talk about literati, there are two types of literati who are attached to Leopard now, one is the literati of the gentry, and the other is the general literati. The gentry attached to him, thinking of using their force to help the country. Therefore, in many decision-making, they deviate from Leopard... There is also a class of ordinary literati who are attached to him because of Leopard's appreciation. They will really look at things from the perspective of Leopard, but their status is not enough. It has not yet been recognized by the gentry class in Hebei, so Leopard needs the literati of the gentry and the Jinyang court to ease. The Jinyang court and the literati of the gentry are a double-edged sword. His existence is a test of Leopard's luck and politics. awakened...

When it comes to politics, Leopard must transform from a warrior to a statesman who masters force, and this key person is Yuan Shu, who really made Leopard realize what politics is, and how much harm would be if he did not master politics... , it was Yuan Shu's words that distinguished Leopard from the real Dong Zhuo, so their endings must be different, and Yuan Shao and the others still regarded him as the second Dong Zhuo. This is the biggest ignorance... If you are the hero of one side, those who don't understand politics can only be reckless...Politics is a kind of "art", if you follow the law and use it with skill, then many things can be done without force... because "soldiers" are A bigger double-edged sword starts from the reckless and cannot be done without "soldiers", but to protect one side, one should subdue others without fighting...

…………

All of the above, I think Mengzi has grasped most of them very, very well...

That's why I like this book so much...

This is a seriously underrated book. It contains so much content that I am constantly changing my guess about Meng Zida’s origin...

It is impossible for a history student to make philosophy so clear...

It is impossible for a philosopher to understand history so well...

Are you saying that you are not engaged in literature?It is impossible to portray the characters so well and describe the plot so coherently...

Confused...

=============

Book review two:
The success of Dahan (for the purpose of attracting jade, welcome to express your opinions)
Many people say that the big man is too broken and can't stand it anymore. They say that the big guy is trying to make up for the word count, so...

For me, I don't dare to communicate...

First of all, I think that in a troubled world, there are many heroes, bears, villains, and villains...

So it is very normal for everyone to sing and I will appear on stage...

So things go back and forth...

Because it's human nature...

especially the gentry
The nature of the gentry is to be keen on power. They regard the emperor as their slave, the big man as their back garden, and the warrior as their watchdog...

Of course, this is the so-called loyal scholar with backbone...

There are still many people who are afraid of death, scholars, in order to live and live their own family interests, they can flatter this person today and seduce this person tomorrow, just like prostitutes who want to make money, as long as they have money, they are masters...

To put it bluntly, it's all human nature...

And as warriors, what they see more is life and death, they climbed out of the private heap, fought too many battles, and must think about why they fight...

What is the reason for the warriors of the big Han to continue to fight...

In fact, who doesn't want to be able to go home every day to accompany his wife and children?Who likes to fight every day?
However, warriors also have many camps. There are warriors from noble clans, warriors who use money to pile up their status, and warriors who come out of the Ming Dynasty...

So they look at things from different starting points, because their own success paths and reasons are different, so they must subconsciously have different views on the direction of the situation and how to grasp the situation...

So there will be disputes between them, and there will be separation and reunion...

These are all very normal...

And I think this is why Dahan is so successful, so real...

To put it bluntly, it is to see through human nature, to vividly describe the characters of each character, and to connect the paths each character has traveled and will go with his character and standpoint

When a character is not just a character, but as the bone of an event, through his personality and his standpoint, he connects the bones with the flesh and blood, and becomes a living person...

This is the big man...

Some people say that the big man's is cumbersome, repeated, and the more you look at it, the more confused you become
But I said that the big man is real, with flesh and blood...

===================

Book review three:
Analysis of the situation and prediction of the possible trend in the later period

Leopards are out of soldiers and food...

It is estimated that they will send troops to attack Tian Kai and Cao Cao in order to rob soldiers and retaliate against them...

As for Yuan Shao, Ma Teng and others, it is estimated that they will spend time in Guanzhong for the emperor...

After seeing Yuan Shao's actions, Liu Biao will probably find another faction to join forces. His target is probably Cao Cao, because Cao Cao still respects the emperor after all...

And Liu Bei is probably struggling in Xuzhou...

Yuan Shu estimated that he would join forces with the Sun family in Yangzhou to seize Xuzhou, or they would fight among themselves.

And it is still possible for Cao Cao to take advantage of the situation in Guanzhong to seek more territory for himself...

But when it comes to God, I think it's people who make things happen...

Regarding Cao Cao and Yuan Shao's move to decide the Yellow River, it is estimated that many scholars will not accept it. Yuan Shao has Tian Feng, Ju Shou, Guo Tu and others, so what about Cao Cao?
It is estimated that in this chapter, the leopard will have more hardships.

There are also those pure counselors who have not come out (those who are not concerned with family interests), seeing leopards give up their hegemony for the people (as others see, grabbing the emperor is a win, because the emperor is just a tool, a tool to command the world ).Then these people will go to join Leopard and lay the foundation for Leopard to be a counselor...

Speaking of Jia Xu?This man is still ambitious.And ambitious people will not seek refuge with leopards when their ambitions are still alive...

I think the so-called success depends on the fact that the leopards should recruit more talents.The generals have caught a lot.What about counselors?

Sima Hui commented that the reason why Liu Bei failed to achieve the overall situation was that he could not help his advisers, so what about the leopard?Also this factor...

For scholars like Xu Shu who were still traveling around the world at that time, Northern Xinjiang was their best destination...

Hehe, for Leopard, success depends on both people and the sky...

Because he is the weaker side, what he unites are the weaker groups, of course there are also some stronger groups, but they are not really for the northern border, for the world...

so for the leopard
[-]. There are too many groups that are weak. In that era, force was a factor, but it was by no means the most important factor, because force had too many restrictions, such as food, soldiers and officers, etc., and the most terrifying thing was A powerful gentry can manipulate the will of the people....Therefore, the leopard's ordeal must be great, because only in this way can the people understand who is truly reliable and who is really considering their own interests...

[-]. There are differences within the group, and they are not small, so they cannot be used together...

Three, the strength of the enemy.The enemy is strong not in force, but in politics, which is why no one can match Leopard and his generals in terms of military exploits.But politically speaking, the politics of northern Xinjiang is not in the hands of Leopard. Although some of his actions have gradually begun to control politics, it is still far from the real control...And some of his opponents control the politics of several states in the world, and some control the politics of one state...Moreover, for a politician, in terms of external situation, as Yuan Shu said, it is to make friends with everything that can be made friends with, and to attack everything that can be attacked (in fact, it is a combination of vertical and horizontal).But the asymmetry between Leopard's military strength and political weakness has led to the fact that all forces are enemies first..., then they may be irrelevant people, and only friends...That's why everyone says Leopard is a traitor, a traitor, and Dong Zhuo's second...

[-]. There are too many burdens in northern Xinjiang, and the population in northern Xinjiang is too large, so there is no shortage of soldiers. Others are soldiers, but he is a civilian.And he is the only force with compulsory military service.However, there is a serious shortage of food and grass. The problem of food needs to be solved first, so that no one can be starved to death, so that there is food for the troops to fight....Other forces don't have such a big burden, they only need to feed their soldiers.Farmers have aristocratic families to support them... so they have no pressure and no scruples.It can also be said that the real weakness of Northern Xinjiang is reflected in his burden. For the sake of the real righteousness, they bear the unimaginable pressure of survival of other forces... This is what really limits them... If war is victory Based on the fact that the people are starving to death, then the leopard will never be able to do it...

Therefore, many people hope that the leopard will be invincible once it raises its troops and goes out to fight... This is impossible and unrealistic.At least until the problem of food and clothing is resolved, then it is possible for him to really raise his troops...

It can be said that the current use of troops in northern Xinjiang is to save food and fight with as few people as possible starving to death.It is a battle that is forced to fight when it is a matter of life and death, and it is far from the time when you can fight freely...

When a series of reforms and constructions such as Daxing water conservancy, land system reform, and personnel selection reform begin to produce results, then Northern Xinjiang will have the strength to support the dispatch of troops, and the strength to carry out real strategic planning and active offensive. Only such a dispatch of troops In order to truly reflect the strength of Northern Xinjiang, it is estimated that Leopard has persisted to that point, then it will show its front, and everything will be confirmed, and it will be the final conclusion...

But for now, there is no shortage of tactical masters in northern Xinjiang, but a lack of strategic masters.

There is no shortage of military generals in northern Xinjiang, who are indeed able to rule the world.There is no shortage of people, but there is a shortage of talents.There is no shortage of strength, but it has not been able to concentrate in one place...

Strategy is selective defense and offense, but at present, it is more tactical.

Among the strategic masters in northern Xinjiang, there are too few that can be used by the leopards.It’s not that there are not many people, but that there are too few people with the same focus as leopards...and it’s even better if people can participate in decision-making. Many people are still in the stage of implementing decisions...and too many people don’t The common people take life and death seriously, although they hate Cao Cao and Yuan Shao's behavior of massacring the city and breaking the embankment, but many of them will do these things when they are in the position of Cao Cao and Yuan Shao...

As for others to fight the world, hehe, that’s right, for example, Cao Cao, Zhuge Liang and others, the result of their wars was starvation to death, death in battle, and then those stupid kings and gentry in the Western Jin Dynasty came to power, and the war continued... Finally Here comes Wuhuluanhua...

But as far as the leopard is concerned, he will not watch a large number of people starve to death, but save food and grass to fight...

And there is another biggest problem, that is, not all the food and grass in northern Xinjiang are in the hands of leopards.

It doesn't mean that people must be starving to death before going to war, but that at least they must be able to control the war.
In the end of the war, it actually depends on the logistics, otherwise the opponent's defense of the city can guard you to death.Force is a factor, but logistics are crucial.

Moreover, Beijiang is currently trying to reform the system. In fact, I told him that many things are not a question of whether they can be defeated, but also a question of how to manage them.Instead of waiting for the fight to come down, poor management, and a mess, it is better to manage your own territory first, and then fight slowly...

Moreover, the current burden on northern Xinjiang is indeed too heavy, and the slow development of strategic defense is the right way.

Moreover, the concept of being an official needs to be changed urgently in northern Xinjiang, so Leopard must lead by example, and the superiors will drive the inferiors to imitate. If he does not consider the common people more, then many people will no longer consider the common people.

Therefore, leopards often use lack of food to decide to give up the opportunity to send troops, which is also an extension of this kind of thinking.

In fact, in the final analysis, the key now in northern Xinjiang is to unify thinking internally.Clenching your fists tightly, everyone's hands are pushing hard in one place.Rather than being too scattered...

There are a lot of people, but unfortunately, there are too few people available, and even fewer people can participate in decision-making...

Strategy, that is, the direction and goal of power development, is very clear.How to develop, how to unite, how to attack, how to defend, etc...

At present, northern Xinjiang can only be said to be reforming.He aimed at the interior of the city.Externally, it can be said that you will not think about it unless you have to, and you have to do it if you really have no choice. This is not a strategy at all.

Both Yuan Shao and Cao Cao had to clarify their goals and directions, so they were very specific about how to take each step, so although they were difficult, their routes were clear.

But Northern Xinjiang is very confused...

He doesn't know who to unite with, who to hit first, how to drive apart who and who, etc... They just do it for the sake of doing it...

Xu You once said something on this level, but it was too fanciful... and had no practical significance...

For northern Xinjiang, a battle is easy to fight, but a national war is difficult, because they don't know how to fight...

As powerful as the Qin State in the Warring States Period, they can make friends from afar and attack close to them, and they can have allies. Why can't Northern Xinjiang?
There is a point of agreement between forces and forces, which can be united or confederated, but there are various contradictions between forces, or else it is one force, not two...

For Beijiang, at the most difficult time, they need to destroy other people's alliances when defending themselves and attacking others...

The imperial court needs to be respected, but Northern Xinjiang is a relatively independent force and must have its own development program and direction.Restructuring is one of them, but so is the improvement of the external environment...

I think the external development is not clear, who to fight, how to unite with others to fight him, how to divide his allies, how to isolate him, how to divide him, etc...

Cao Cao is now the target of public outrage, Northern Xinjiang can definitely lead everyone's conflicts to Cao Cao...

In a confrontation between power and power, when the difference in force is not too great, it is stupid and blind to rely purely on force to determine the outcome

Force is first and foremost for self-protection.And then to intimidate the enemy.For Beijiang, when the force is strong enough to conquer the enemy, his force is enough.After all, in the national war, force is firstly used as a catalyst, and only when the catalyst is ineffective, it has to be used as a decisive factor.

As a duel between different forces in a unified country, there is no need for everyone to fight to the death (except for the top leaders of the forces). Everyone has different interests, and they also have the same interests. There are too many articles to do here. .

Moreover, among the many forces, if we choose a target, we can unite with others to deal with the same enemy.We can divide his interior, divide his alliance, and unite all forces that have a gap with him.Let his friends sit on the sidelines or have more than enough energy (powerless to take care of), let his enemies and his friends' enemies deal with him together.

This is politics, but above all it is strategy, the direction of politics...

May I ask, are there any of these northern Xinjiang?
Therefore, the difficulties in northern Xinjiang are actually a very normal thing...

Northern Xinjiang has the same force as Qin Zhi in the Warring States Period.But there is no corresponding economic strength and foreign strategy.With one enemy against many...the momentum will slow down...

It can be said that in Northern Xinjiang, except for force, everything else is waiting to be done, and it is far behind...

If one fantasizes that the world can be pacified in one fell swoop, it is undoubtedly a fool's dream.

Only when he can't twist his internal forces into a rope, use all the people who can be used, and use all the people who should be used in the positions that should be used, then Beijiang will be able to develop externally...

The Han Dynasty in the era of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was powerful in force and economically sustainable, so they were strong...

The Tang Dynasty during the period of Tang Taizong was firstly powerful in terms of politics and ideology, and then in terms of strategy and military force, and they first occupied Guanzhong, which was the least invaded by war at that time...so they were also strong...

However, even if the Han and Tang Dynasties were powerful, what was left to future generations was a rotten empire in the great success and random actions of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty; defeat ending...

The strength of the Song Dynasty lies in the culture of economy and books, but it is extremely repressed in politics and ideology, so they are not strong...

The strength of Yuan lies in force, and the failure lies in the confusion that a pure warrior falls into when he loses his target...

The strength of civilization lies in the strength of the landlord class

The strength of the Qing Dynasty in the Kangxi Dynasty lies in the strength of its status, the feudal ideology passed down for thousands of years and the power of the ruling class in the hearts of the people... So even though there were corrupt officials under Kangxi, the Qing Dynasty in the Kangxi period was still They are powerful...but Qing is actually not strong enough in terms of politics, ideology, force, and economy, because they can hardly fight...

In fact, for a power to be strong, the strength of political thought is actually the most critical, and the strength of force and economic power are also indispensable.But what needs to be strong first is the mind of those in power.

Advanced thinking will produce powerful strength...

==================
Book review three:
Dahan is about to end?Don't be anticlimactic!Woohoo sad...

Some people say that the civil strife in northern Xinjiang has ended and internal disputes have been resolved...

This is extremely childish and ridiculous.

The civil unrest is temporarily over.But internal dangers still exist.

Leopard proposes checks and balances because he feels that power needs checks and balances in order to be right.But other people's unified checks and balances strategy is not because they feel that power needs checks and balances, but because the leopard's power needs checks and balances. For them, power must be in the hands of scholars.When warriors are in power, there must be checks and balances of power...

This can be seen from their previous practices in Xijiang and Chang'an.

Warriors in northern Xinjiang: They trust leopards, but don't trust scholars. This can be seen from the actions of Ju Yi and Yang Feng.They agreed to check and balance firstly because this was the general's idea, and secondly because they had no choice but to repay their fate when the general did not want to be in power for a long time.

The old civil servants in northern Xinjiang: They agreed to check and balance because they don't trust leopards, and they don't trust warriors.They feel that scholars should be in power in the world, the emperor is the seal, the eunuch is the traitor, and the warrior is the sword... They agreed to check and balance out of the need to limit the power of the leopard, and also to seek more power for themselves.

The emperor and court ministers: They agreed to check and balance in order to obtain some rights from northern Xinjiang and continue to seek greater rights.

……

Now the emperor is dead.

But the civil and military ministers were all there, and so were the scholars, and everyone's ideas didn't change much.

Everyone still thinks the general cannot be trusted.When he is a knife, they can give support, but when he is no longer content with a knife, they will not hesitate to turn themselves into the knife that stabs the leopard from the back...

Now the northern border seems to be in balance, but if there is a slight turmoil, this balance will be broken and endless internal strife will be attracted.Just like the chaos in northern Xinjiang this time.

The emperor is dead, and the child in Fu's stomach is only two months old, and Fu's father is involved in the rebellion. Let this possible child succeed him. After he becomes an adult, he will definitely be implicated in bloodbath to avenge his grandfather and grandpa. The civil servants and generals of the civil servants and generals, let alone not being left alone for a day, have to wait for more than 7 months, and there is only half of the possibility, no one can afford it.So this candidate was rejected first.

If you choose other clan children, then first of all it will involve a redistribution of power. First of all, the existence of the eldest princess will not be a buffer, and she has no more meaning.And if this is the case, ministers like Zhang Wen will work with the new emperor to restrict the leopards in order to check and balance the leopards.

There is another power struggle involved here...

Under such circumstances, the book ends immediately?

If the end of this book starts with the separatism of the heroes, and everyone claims to be emperors and stand on their own, then it may end soon.

If it weren't for the result above, if the Northern Xinjiang was used to unify the world and rebuild the Great Han, then this book is far from the end...

If it ends hastily, it will be another anticlimax.

If you feel tired, you can take a break and write again.

We can also review the previous chapters a few more times.

But don't rush to the end.

History is true, and differences in concepts have determined that northern Xinjiang is not monolithic.

Now that Northern Xinjiang can establish an emperor again, so can other forces. Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Liu Biao, Yuan Shu, etc. will all launch their own emperors.

Then when the time comes, where the scholars of the world go will no longer depend on the so-called righteousness, but for their own performance.

They think that whoever can make a great career will go to whomever they want.At this time, the pattern of the world may be reshuffled.

To end this book quickly, I can't see any other possible reasonable ending except for the death of the Han Dynasty.

Finally, I would like to say, big brother, don't end up hastily because of some people's nonsense.Now that I have written to this point, it is a big deal to take a break and start writing a sequel again later.But don't rush it, it will be very very very very disappointing.

Woohoo sad...

And the question of who the new emperor chooses is a very big one.

Don't look at the general who has released these civil and military ministers from the prison.They don't have to die.

But who the new emperor chooses (it cannot be the child in Fu's stomach, see the reason above), everyone's position and starting point are different.Don't look at the people who are grateful to the general now, but on this issue, they will not give in at all, and may even cause more civil strife in order to limit the power of the general as much as possible.

For those civil servants, checks and balances are not aimed at themselves. Checks and balances are for checking and balancing the emperor, for checking and balancing warriors, and for checking and balancing eunuchs.So they think samurai are swords...

Therefore, these civil servants will definitely work hard to take advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to establish some achievements and ambitions, and to cooperate with them in sweeping the warriors from northern Xinjiang out of the court.This will definitely trigger another chaos in northern Xinjiang...

Leopards can only want military power, but not other powers.But those who only have military power are often victims of political struggles, not to mention that Leopard is even letting go of military power... He has given the power to deploy troops to the court, so as long as he has military power, he will face an unprecedented situation in the near future. crisis.The crisis caused by the redistribution of power due to the establishment of the new emperor... This is a crisis where the possibility of death is far greater than the possibility of life...

And the root of the crisis is that no one in the imperial court really believes in the general...

Everyone wants to limit the general...

This is the cause of the eldest princess's sorrow, and it is also the sorrow of Beijiang
That's why it's impossible for the book to end just yet...

Unless the ending is the death of the leopard...or the death of the big man (because the big man is dead, then the leopard will not have to fight for righteousness, but can only fight for the community and his own dreams)...

So in the short term, I don't see any reason to end this book...

Hehe, yes, as long as we have military power, the opposition will not be small.But have to take power again...

Everything is helpless.

What a person can do in the tide of history is to guide him to the path he wants him to take.

And most of the time I just go with the flow...

have no choice……

However, I always feel that the ideas of people like Zhang Wen are changing a bit quickly.When the leopards were fighting corruption in western Xinjiang, they showed their faces without a doubt.

What they are really loyal to is not the country, nor the emperor, but the team they belong to, the theory they think...

So in fact, in their hearts, some things cannot be changed.

Just like the collapse of the country of the big man, they may still have the thoughts they said when they scolded the leopard for ruining the country.Although the leopard is now supporting the country, they believe that the root cause of the country's collapse lies in the leopard. If he hadn't been so reckless at the time, maybe they thought that the scholars could take advantage of the struggle between He Jin and the officials and thus gain power. Help the country.Relatively speaking, the concepts of Lu Zhi and Huangfu are more orthodox and reasonable.

The appearance of scholars is determined by their nature.Zhang Wen and the others are relying on you now, but when they have the chance to take power alone one day, they will immediately kill you...

The massacres of Dong Zhuo, Li Jue and others have caused heavy damage to the aristocratic family. People like Zhang Wen and Xun You first want to survive, and then their own interests, because society has changed.

Only when the big man survives can the elite survive. This is the most correct way to ensure the interests of the elite. As scholars and elites, they cannot be short-sighted, and they can't even see this.

When Hebei has the greatest power and the most orthodox imperial lineage, Hebei is of course their first place.

The success of Emperor Guangwu's Zhongxing great cause is entirely due to the support and help of the family and the unity of the whole family.

Today's Hebei is also in the same situation, except that there is no emperor like Liu Xiu.Therefore, when the imperial power is weak, ZTE's strategy requires enlightened and progressive politics, a strong army, and restricted power.

This may be a way. Whether it can be successful or not depends on the belief and unity of the team members.Otherwise, failure is inevitable
Hehe, I also feel that enlightened politics is the first condition for success.

However, in ancient times, limited by history, enlightened politics could only be formed under the control of a helmsman.

I feel that in the current northern Xinjiang, the helm is not a leopard with this kind of thinking.Nor is it the eldest princess who is close to this kind of thinking.The current northern Xinjiang lacks such a character, or some people do not agree with such a character (leopard).

I think this is where the problem lies.

Even in an era of constitutional monarchy or democracy, a person at the helm is needed.The most suitable helm in Beijiang is Leopard, but the people who assisted him at the helm did not trust him enough.Lu Zhi and Huangfu trust him enough, but it's a pity...

I think Leopard must first gain enough trust, and then he can make a promise (such as when and which level he will retire to the desert)...

Maybe this is a way out.

======================
Book Review [-]: Aristocratic Family and the Strategy of Checks and Balances

In the era of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the influence of the aristocratic families was extremely huge, so the emperors of the Eastern Han Dynasty kept relying on eunuchs, and even used party struggles to attack the aristocratic families...

You can imagine everyone's ideology at that time. Zhang Wen saw the leopard suppressing corruption in Xiliang. At first, Zhang Wen was only worried about causing a struggle between traitors and powerful clans.But once the leopards started to arrest corrupt officials who were born in a powerful family, they immediately began to join forces with traitors to frame and plot to assassinate the leopards...

Why?It's not that the powerful families lack checks and balances, but that they regard the world as their own backyard. They can ruin it, but others can't. Even if you are the emperor, you are the ten permanent attendants, even if you are the general...

Many emperors in the Western Jin Dynasty and Eastern Jin Dynasty lived like idiots, not because they wanted to, but because they had to...

Because the people who trained him first were all from aristocratic families, and his ministers in the future were all from aristocratic families.

Of course, it doesn't mean that all powerful families are bad. This depends on the direction of the powerful group's grasp of the direction or the degree of desire for benefits...

Compared with the aristocratic families in the period of Han Lingdi, the aristocratic families in northern Xinjiang are weaker, because there are many fewer big aristocratic families, they have taken refuge in Yuan Shao or Yuan Shu, and some have taken refuge in Cao Cao.But there are some more factors in the aristocratic families in Xinjiang, such as some former businessmen.

Imagine the hoarding of grain by the royal family and merchants when they first started in Northern Xinjiang. At that time, Northern Xinjiang needed more food... Imagine, when did they think about the national calamity they distributed for Northern Xinjiang? Many of the things they do are beneficial to Northern Xinjiang, but they are even more beneficial to themselves...

For them, it doesn't really matter who rules the world, because everyone needs their people to rule the world.For them, it doesn't matter whether you are Han, Wei or Jin. The important thing is that everyone can hold power and have so many benefits.

In fact, there is a problem involved here. At that time, the demand of the middle class of society was too large, and the supply was a bit short of demand.So they have some chips in their hands. If you are strong enough, I can obey you.If you are not strong enough and want me to help you, you need to meet some of my requirements.

Moreover, this middle class of society almost controlled the social and economic lifeline of the entire dynasty. The emperor only had the treasury, and he needed someone to help him manage the country, manufacture weapons, train talents, and so on.

Therefore, they must lack sufficient checks and balances. Apart from the army, there is no other force that can check and balance them. When the powerful families control the army, the danger is infinite. The reason why the regimes of the Southern and Northern Dynasties changed so quickly was because the powerful families controlled the army. …

As far as the present is concerned, there is not much difference between the clans in Northern Xinjiang and the clans in Chang'an period. They also regard themselves as noble. They don't see corruption by warriors or eunuchs, but they don't want others to deal with their own corruption...

Then there is this incident of official system reform, the clan wants to limit the imperial power and the military power of the leopards, why, first of all, it is because it threatens their power, and they hope to limit this threat.The harm they understand to the world is first of all a danger to the aristocratic family, and what is harmful to the aristocratic family must be harmful to the world.In fact, what the eldest princess does is also checks and balances. According to the theory of checks and balances put forward by the aristocratic families, the purpose of checks and balances can be achieved, but why are Cui Lie and others so disappointed?Because their power is more constrained.In their original system, in fact, the power of powerful families in the court is almost unrestricted. They can decide such and such major national affairs, but now all the decision-making power has returned to the royal family, so even if you are in power. , they will not agree.

From this perspective, it can be seen that their thinking has not changed much from the Chang'an period.

The aristocratic family's pursuit is to use the power of the aristocratic family to check and balance the army and the imperial power.But are the elites of this world really among these aristocratic families?Are those in power in the aristocratic family really the elite?Yuan Shu could make the heir of the Yuan family when he was in Chang'an, but is there anything commendable about his performance in Chang'an?In addition to playing tricks and playing politics.

Moreover, those in power of the really big aristocratic families first won the political struggle within the family. The commonality of this type of people is almost that they have the ability to play politics more than others.Many of those great clans that have lasted for hundreds of years are glamorous on the surface but corrupt on the inside. Their rulers can't even manage their own clans well, so they are expected to be able to govern the entire country well?Otherwise, why were there so many corrupt officials in the late Han Empire, and people like leopards couldn't be killed?

In any event, such a powerful family would first think about what benefits and disadvantages their own family could get from this event, and then how to do it.This is why Leopard's crackdown on corruption in Xiliang will be opposed by everyone in the imperial court. Although his actions are beneficial to the country and will benefit the future, he has no support from anyone , including the emperor.The emperor supported him because firstly he bought the emperor, and secondly the emperor needed a knife...

It can be seen from this that the so-called constraints of powerful families, eunuchs, imperial power, and even military power do not exist and are impossible to achieve.Because among them, the most important court officials who came from aristocratic families first think of the interests of their own families, not the interests of the dynasty.

Imperial power and military power need to be restricted, but this restriction should not be limited to the power of the aristocratic family, but should be restricted by some people and groups who really consider the interests of the world.A new middle-level force should be cultivated in this social system.People from aristocratic families can also join it, but if they join it, they are not allowed to participate in the housework of the aristocratic family, and they have to separate from the aristocratic family. Only in this way, these people will not first consider the interests of their own aristocratic family...

Only the emerging families of warriors, because they came out of the mountains of swords and seas of blood, know why there are wars and why they need to use knives, so they still retain some blood and principles.And because they came out of the dead, their power comes from force rather than politics, so these powerful families are relatively pure.

Therefore, the most important thing in the so-called checks and balances is not to need the quality and function of these forces, but to let these forces that can gain a foothold in the court first consider the world's society, first consider the world's ten thousand names, and then consider For yourself, consider your own family.Only then will the need for or lack of checks and balances make any real sense.

And now those court officials who only think about their own family or other brothers' families, their granaries are full, but the country wants to fight but can't afford it...

Such people, their first consideration is not to give away their illegal gains, but to seek greater benefits...

They will say what Zi said, or Laozi said, but is their approach the same as what Zi said, Laozi said gains and losses?
Since people whose words do not match what they do, can they be trusted?Are they trustworthy?Is it worth entrusting power to?
obviously can't

This is the essence of a powerful family.It can be used in business, but it cannot be used in court.

Such a person would sell the country for the benefit of the family.

That's why I say they are cancerous tumors that may break out.

In fact, the essence of checks and balances should consist of the following points:

1. First of all, the legal interests of all citizens should be guaranteed by law.Moreover, the law is that neither imperial power nor military power can be exceeded.We can use the provisions of the law to modify the law, but we must not go beyond the law.

2. Second, the change of concepts: the concept of "monarch, minister, father, son" and "family and country under heaven" should be changed to "people under heaven and country". The existence of "family, country, and world" gives everyone a good reason to consider the interests of their own family first, then the interests of the country, and finally the world... The existence of such an idea is doomed to the replacement of dynasties in China The change of the country and the country is doomed to the instability of the world.Because there are too many transcendences and too many unreasonable things.The transcendence and irrationality of those in power will definitely destroy the balance of the entire world, thus causing the world to lose power, and thus things like "Qin loses its deer, and the world chases it together" will happen every once in a while.

3. An important item in the evaluation of officials who are officials in the court: in court discussions related to the interests of their own family or other official families, whether the starting point of their speech is for the country or for the family. If they are for the family, they cannot be officials.

4. Those who are officials in the imperial court are not allowed to hold positions in the family.

5. Those who are officials must register their family property, and each term of office shall carry out a settlement assessment for one year.

Etc., etc
The method of using power to check and balance will eventually lead to division due to differences in power.This division may be a country, or a family, or a group institution
Everyone is here for profit

But in fact, there are not only benefits in this world. Our ancestors said that besides "profit", there are also "gong", "fame", and "lu".

We can't just focus on "profit".

In fact, the original intention of checks and balances is to restrict private desires, and to restrict the concept of "family country and world", but the restrictions established based on the concept of "family country and world" are simplified and lack the support of theory and strength. is fragile, is easily broken.

Some people say that what is broken can be rebuilt.But the price of fragmentation is huge, which will lead to huge losses of culture, technology, ideas and so on.

This is also why China's feudal society will lag far behind others after 2000, because we have actually been carrying out the cycle of "destruction and reconstruction, destruction and reconstruction".Every destruction brings back infinite loss of culture, technology and ideas.

====================
Book Review Five:
It's finally time to see the sun through the clouds.

Because of some actions of Emperor Han Ling, the ministers first thought of restricting the imperial power, but in essence, the aristocratic clan and the family's desire for power have no focus, so the so-called balance between the imperial power and the prime minister's power is actually the division of the royal family and the aristocratic clan. Let them restrict each other for several camps.In order to ensure the future of his subordinates, Li Hong joined the warriors...

But the aristocratic families, the imperial power, and now the military forces represented by Li Hong have too many places that are difficult to integrate.Because of the young age of the emperor and the admiration of the eldest princess for Li Hong, the imperial power can be said to be relatively partial to Li Hong.

But the aristocratic families don't want to see the power in their hands shrink. For them, everything is just a means. They don't have justice or injustice. be opposed to.It can also be said that these aristocratic families who have existed for too long are the only real cancer in this society.They work with you because it's profitable.Their essence has not changed, and it is true that this essence has produced a very classic old saying in China, "Wealth cannot last for three generations", because unscrupulous people will one day be overwhelmed by angry people.This is true of the royal family, not to mention the aristocratic family.

In the past, in order to integrate more forces, Beijiang had to rely on the power of the aristocratic families, and made compromises of one kind or another, because they were good for Beijiang at that time.But their nature determines that they are a cancerous tumor first, now and in the future, it's just when the toxicity starts to show up.

And now the effective combination of famous imperial rulers and warriors, as well as those young and conscientious literati is more beneficial to the development of northern Xinjiang.At this time, it is necessary to first expel some toxic figures politically.

In order to reconcile all these, the leopard and the eldest princess must unite.

In fact, at this stage, people who understand Leopard, even if he is the prime minister and married the eldest princess, will understand him and support him.And those who oppose him will always be opponents, because their ambitions are too great... and Li Hong is too loyal, so he is a traitor in the mouth of a traitor.

At this point, a strong emperor (eldest princess) is needed to lead young literati with conscience. He does not object to people from aristocratic families entering politics, but those who engage in politics must separate from the aristocratic families.And the aristocratic family as one or several independent forces must be eliminated.

As the representative of the largest military force, Li Hong had to continue to hold military power for a long time in order to save the lives of his generals at this point, but this was very dangerous for the community in the post-Li Hong era.Therefore, he must find a way out, and this possible way out is the combination of him and the eldest princess, and he becomes the royal family.

In doing so, those who truly consider the society will continue to support them, and those who are ambitious and hope to obtain more benefits (from the hands of the royal family, or from the hands of warriors, or never from the hands of literati who do not belong to their own aristocratic families) They use this so-called sage’s rebellious interface to make some small or big moves (just like many people in the book review area do, using the sage’s dogma to criticize your non-compliance, That one has a problem, that one doesn’t work, and this one doesn’t work either)

They like to take things apart and criticize you one by one, although the whole is very, very good...because they don't see the whole...

Dahan's success is first of all on the whole.

The details may need to be further perfected by the author in the future, but such perfection is not necessary for people like me, because I have seen what I want to see and what I need to see... those so-called A lot of perfect things are unnecessary for me.

This is true for the Han Dynasty, and it is also true for the northern border.Now is the time to make a choice. Since you are good as a whole, others will stare at your small parts. Since those who should support will continue to support, it is time to dig out those poisonous people with bad intentions and drive them out of the team. It's time.

That's all for the nonsense, everyone is welcome to follow up.But for the so-called dogma, I continue to ignore
====================
Book Review Six:
From the official history, we can see the powerful, powerful, and powerful families.

At the end of the Han Dynasty, the contradictions within the ruling class were very large. The party members and eunuchs thought that the contradictions between the aristocratic families and the royal family were relatively large.

Before the big man fell apart, there were two things:
The first one is: In the first year of Zhongping, Yan Zhong, a native of Hanyang, persuaded Huangfusong to "conquer the people of Jizhou, mobilize the people of Kyushu, go south to Luoyang, cut off the eunuchs, and finally overthrow the Han Dynasty and proclaim himself emperor."Was rejected by Huangfu.

The second is: in the fifth year of Zhongping, the attempted coup d'etat in Jizhou, Chen Yi, the son of the party leader Chen Fan, Xu You from Nanyang, Zhou Jing from Peiguo, Xiangkai the sorcerer, and Wang Fen, the governor of Jizhou, conspired to revisit Emperor Ling The machine of the old house is abolished by the emperor.

These two incidents show that in the eyes of party members and even some scholar-bureaucrats, the Eastern Han Dynasty is no longer as sacred as it is said in the scriptures. They have begun to stop thinking about the Eastern Han Dynasty for the benefit of their own group. .

After Dong Zhuo took control of the government, the world's powerful families and powerful families began to stand on their own and separate themselves.At this time, Yuan was the first to put forward the so-called "government at home" slogan.

The fourth generation and third son of the Yuan family in Runan, relying on other families and disciples in Ruyang, Yingchuan, and Nanyang, exerted a very great power on the political stage at the end of Han Dynasty, such as forming an alliance with He Jin.However, Dong Zhuo's entry into Beijing made Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu leave for Jizhou and Nanyang respectively.

Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu used their family influence to quickly establish a huge power in Jizhou and Nanyang.Here the Yuan Shao Group consists of three parts besides Yuan's clan: one is Defengji, Xu You, etc. who ran from Luoyang together; the other is Han Fu's Yingchuan fellows, Xun Kan, Xin Ping, Guo Tu; , such as Jushou, Tian Feng, Shenpei, Cui Yan, Qianzhao, Wang Xiu.Among them, in terms of power, Hebei Haoqiang is the strongest.

And Yuan Shu also got the support of the Sun family, the Chen family in Xiapi, and the Zhang family in Hanoi.

However, Yuan Shu also rebelled because of his eagerness to become emperor, and died of illness four years after Jian'an.

However, because of Yuan Shao's "external lenient and internal taboos, he was suspicious of employing people, and only relatives and children were appointed."As a result, there were many powerful and powerful factions inside, and finally Guandu collapsed due to internal problems.Of course, it is also related to Yuan's first shouting that "politics leaves the family, and wants to replace the Han and stand on its own", which caused many powerful families to leave for Cao Cao because of their dissatisfaction.For example, most of the people in Yingchuan defected to Cao Cao.

As for the Cao Cao Group, one is the Qiaopei Group of his own Cao family and Xiahou's family; .

In contrast, although there were some problems in the relationship between Cao Cao and Yingchuan Group, it has been repaired better.There is no self-abolition of martial arts like Yuan Shao.

And the subsequent Sima clan acting as Cao was also the result of internal compromises in the clan struggle.

In the later period of Cao Cao, he did not hesitate to kill Cui Yan and Kong Rong because of differences in thinking, and the Xun and Zhong clans who forced Yingchuan to retreat. Although they supported Chen Qun, the conflict between Cao Wei and the aristocratic family began to intensify.It was also under such circumstances that the Sima family, with the help of the Yingchuan family and Hebei scholar-bureaucrats, defeated the Cao Shuang Group (the continuation of the Qiaopei Group) step by step, thus gaining power and usurping the throne.

It can be seen that tyrants, aristocratic families, and scholar-officials played a very important role in the events of Cao Wei Dai Han and Sima Dai Wei.If Cao Cao is the leader, then the skeleton is these tyrants, powerful families and scholar-bureaucrats.

The strength of its power can be seen in general.

This is also why, during the Jin Dynasty, the influence of the aristocratic family was so huge.

Because they themselves are a combination of interests, and they want to share interests with each other.

Cao Wei was quickly replaced by the Sima family because he suppressed these tyrants, aristocratic families, and scholar-bureaucrats too much.

Think about it, today there are still no analysis of big men.Because I think I'll need to watch Dahan again to get the details.

I'm a look-and-see person.Learning what I want to learn and seeing what I couldn't see before, I am satisfied.The so-called literary expressions and details are rarely deducted.

====================
Book Review Seven:
Looking at the power changes on the political stage in the late Eastern Han Dynasty from the perspective of official history:

Regarding this faction, let’s talk about some of the ranking explanations in my opinion:

Gentlemen: They think they are the backbone of the society and the only elite. They regard the emperor as their own puppet and the emperor as their own backyard...

Families: first have a family, and then have others.All their starting point is to get more benefits for their home.

Party members: First there is the party, then there is the clan, then there is the emperor, and then there is the country...

Literati: There is a country, there is an emperor, and there is a heart to care about people's livelihood...

Warrior: Protecting the family and the country is the first priority, but brotherly loyalty is also required...

Eunuch: There are people who manipulate the emperor and seek profit for themselves. Although there are those who are sincerely kings, who can not be blinded by the words "right" and "profit"?
Common people: Helpless to bear everything for the big man, but get nothing...

Of course, some individuals may have several roles at the same time.

For example, a scholar may be a member of the party, or may have been a warrior, and may even come from a powerful family.

Under the historical conditions at that time, most of the elites in society came from aristocratic clans, including members within their families and protégés of their family members, and so on.

They have a common feature, that is, the first consideration is the interests of their own family.Rather than the so-called Dahan Sheji.

This can be seen from the party prison incident.

The cause of the Danggu incident was originally a political struggle between the eunuchs in the palace (inner court) and the outer court (officials from powerful families).

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the power of the clan was so strong that the imperial power fell to the side. The emperor could only fight against the outer court by relying on the eunuchs and relying on the inner court.And the so-called traitors and sycophants in the history books are not just treacherous and sycophants. I don’t know how many such things have been done by those powerful people.You know, the vast majority of local officials are from powerful families.And you must know that Cao Teng among the eunuchs in history is a good person (of course, this one seems to be the prime minister with Cao Cao later, and the historians beautified him).

The party prison incident is the accumulation and outbreak of contradictions.In the end, Emperor Heng used the power of the eunuchs to deal a heavy blow to the power of the clan, thus bringing the imperial power back into balance.The emperor's right to speak is even greater.

And in this incident, we can see that the clans formed cliques for the sake of profit game, and all of them regarded themselves as party members and were proud of party members. This is an act of disregarding the society.Furthermore, by the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the land of the whole country was in the hands of powerful clans...

Because of the two incidents of party imprisonment, by the time of Emperor Ling, the imperial power had been relatively stable. At this time, the power of eunuchs and powerful clans in the court was balanced. ".

Taking advantage of this opportunity, big families such as the Yuan family, Cao family, Sun family, and Gongsun family, as well as some imperial relatives such as Liu Biao, Liu Zhang, and Liu Bei, began to take the opportunity to cultivate their own power.After the Yellow Turban Uprising was suppressed, the clans have formed local forces to balance the central government.As a result of the powerful families, relatives and eunuchs shopping in Luoyang, Dong Zhuo, a martial artist from Xiliang, entered Beijing.Although the eunuchs were destroyed and the new emperor was established, the clan did not want the fruit of their hard work to be taken away by Dong Zhuo, a sparrow, so there were subsequent princes to discuss Dong...

After Dong Zhuo was destroyed, local separatist regimes became established. At this time, most of the clans were attached to Yuan Shao, and the power of former eunuchs was mostly attached to Cao Cao.

The struggle between Yuan Shao and Cao Cao was more like a struggle within the clan, so after the Battle of Guandu, Cao Cao could easily organize Yuan Shao's forces.

The struggle between Cao Cao and Ma Teng is like the struggle between the Central Plains clan and Xiliang clan.

You must know that as long as their family can get more benefits, they may betray you if your prospects are not good. This is why Yuan Shao and Ma Teng seem to have lost a battle, but they have no power to recover from then on.

Of course, this is also due to the fact that there are too many factions in Yuan Shao, and there are constant internal struggles among the factions, such as the struggles between Tian Feng, Curse and Fengji, Guo Tu, and Xu You, which lead to continuous civil strife at critical moments, and even Xu You's rebellion...

However, the Ma family and the Han family have similar status in Xiliang. Although they are brothers, when their interests are different, they still parted ways.

When Zhuge Liang was planning for Liu Bei, what he mentioned was that the starting point for the strategy of Jingshu was not accidental, but that Jingshu and Shu could accept Liu Bei as a royal relative since they supported Liu Biao and Liu Zhang.

Afterwards, Chibi was the key, thinking that the victory of Chibi strengthened Sun Wu's determination to fight by force, because since he could get more benefits, there was no need to surrender.

The gatekeepers are actually the real fools.

The big family members can conquer the world with their own troops; the small family members serve several families with brothers and sisters...

The most famous are the three brothers Zhuge Jin, Zhuge Liang, and Zhuge Dan, who serve Sun Wu, Liu Han and Cao Wei.

No matter who wins or loses in the battle for hegemony, as long as there is merit, the Zhuge family will still be the same great family...

After the Three Kingdoms, the rise and fall of the strength between Wei, Shu and Wu is closely related to the performance of the powerful families.Wei has consolidated the power of the powerful family, while Wu has been caught in the internal strife between the Sun family and the Lu family, and the Shu Han has no powerful family members...

In the end, Sima replaced Wei and won the world, but they won the world by compromise with the clan, and lost half of the country, and even lost the world because of the compromise with the clan...

And it was the iron cavalry of the Hu people that really destroyed the power of the clan, the iron cavalry of the half-Hu and half-Han regime after the replacement of Hu and the subsequent imperial examination system...

However, in the Jin Dynasty where clans were prevalent, the emperor was like a doll. The emperor’s teacher came from the clan, and the emperor’s ministers came from the clan, and there were frequent strife within the clan, and Jin was also the darkest time in the history of Chinese political culture...

And the root of all this is that the power of the clan is too strong.

Moreover, the disaster brought about by the clans lies in the confinement of thoughts by the clans. In that era, the clans decided the enemy based on their interests, and attacked everything about the enemy, and everything about the enemy was wrong.

It seems that "Zi said: Repay grievances with virtue" was listed as one of the moral standards in the Jin Dynasty, but the full text is "Zi said: Complain with virtue, how to repay virtue, repay grievances with straightness, and repay virtue with virtue." This can be seen in that era, The so-called struggle has become so ridiculous...

They attack purely for the sake of attacking, and completely lose the so-called normal moral concepts...

The so-called subset of classics and history is just a tool for them to attack each other.

This is the historical background of the book

We must know that under such a historical background, a person with no background must achieve the purpose of protecting himself, friends, refugees, and the community in the political arena of turmoil.

How far is the road ahead of him?
Just like defeating the coalition forces this time and occupying Qingzhou and Yunzhou, the existing elites in northern Xinjiang will definitely use the former imperial court's IOUs to seek the greatest benefit.And this incident is just to find a reasonable reason to suppress the powerful.It also prepares for potential political restructuring.So this is absolutely necessary.

It seems that I haven't written for a long time. What I wrote today is a bit rubbish. Let's go to work first.

Tomorrow I will start analyzing the big man...

Brothers, throw less bricks.

I must code well tomorrow. Today's level is really not good, and I am a little embarrassed...

Far from what was expected...

Code slowly, change slowly, and try to code to produce high-quality products

==================
Book Review Eight:
Before and after the eradication of corruption in Xijiang, Leopard has been busy with local wars, and what he is busy with is just a soldier's talent.So it was all wars, magnificent wars, many of his wars were on the verge of failure, and because of coincidences, they all won.Here is the contempt of others, and the Yellow Turban's ignorance of the cavalry.And when they were really ready, because of Zhang Niujiao's death, and...

As for the war in Western Xinjiang, some people will say, why did the war turn around so quickly when the leopards came?This is actually because of the monolithic Western Xinjiang, where all forces are intertwined. At this time, external forces are needed to break the balance, and the leopard's 5 army is obviously this external force.

The balance has been broken. In order to fight for merit, everyone...

Wordy so much.Let's start to get to the point:
Before the eradication of corruption, Leopard was just a pure warrior, a general.The difference from other warriors is that he has stronger combat ability.

In the eradication of corruption, because in order to protect the interests of his own people, he began to be involved in the political struggle among the traitors, party members and the emperor.He became a character who purges the party with integrity...

It can be said that before the eradication of corruption, the only thing Leopard can influence the court is whether he wins or loses a battle.

But after the crackdown on corruption begins, what he can affect is the balance of power, who can be stronger, who can hit the other side more...

So political make-up lessons are inevitable for Leopard, so there is Li Wei.Just as the majority of readers need to make up lessons on the political and cultural history at that time, Leopard also needs to make up lessons. , which is why Leopard was able to integrate the Yellow Turban and continue the Yellow Turban later).The impossible process is painful, long and irritating.But thoughts do not come naturally, they are gradually formed.

Therefore, in the future, there will be long speeches, talking about politics, culture, and history.Because Leopard needs to make up lessons for these, and many readers are the same, or the author is also the same, he is also making up lessons.

Politics is an extension of interests, so every change in the overall situation will bring possible redistribution of interests, and at this time, various political struggles will emerge in endlessly.When a war is about to be fought, there will be armaments; when there is a famine, there will be food; if a battle is won, there will be spoils; Many officials need to be supplemented; there are also potential young talents inside, and the aristocratic families want to snatch them;...

And these seemingly small political struggles and the distribution of interests will have a huge impact on the formation of new factions and the definition of faction interests, as well as the purpose and possible means of political struggles in the future.

Therefore, these tiny points cannot be ignored.Because this is a true and profound book, it is true that its development is logical, and it is profound that there is such a reasonable explanation behind every change.

The essence of politics is interest.The essence of mainstream culture is to serve politics.Confucian classics was established as an official school because it was willing to serve and sacrifice for politics.As for people who read books, many of them could stand among the temples with vegetation at that time.

At that time, among the academic schools of thought, whoever could view and analyze problems from the standpoint of the ruling class was the mainstream, and whoever would gain the support of the ruling class would be sought after by the students.It is also for this reason that Confucian classics have the so-called "teacher's law" and "family law" that cannot be surpassed.And these Confucian classics have always been more suitable, so in many cases, the views of those who put forward these academics will really affect the direction of politics.

Therefore, the characters in the book will often argue academically, and there will be lengthy discussions and disputes.It may seem good to write these as extra chapters or supplements, but I think it is better to write them in the book.Many people find it boring, think about it, I hoped to see a step forward today, but in the end it was all arguing... Everyone would be a little disappointed...

Starting from Hebei as a separate force, he must have his own theoretical support and political views.At this time, the quality of the chosen theory has a direct impact on the administrative system...

At this time, academic and political discussions are indispensable. Otherwise, who knows where your theory and system came from?Fall from the sky?

I think about a lot of things, and if I look back, I may suddenly realize it.It turns out that such changes are natural and are growing pains.

In my opinion, the change of style lies in the change of status, the change of the social class, and the change of the main method of struggle.

The early stage is the battlefield, and the later stage is the court...

At this time, the growth of the protagonist is very, very critical.

And for the growth of the protagonist, it seems that Mengzi has been given a cumbersome reputation...

But this is the trouble of growing up, the trouble of choosing and the trouble of learning...

is normal and reasonable

The greater the ability, the higher the status, the greater the responsibility. A big soldier can charge and kill at will, a low-level officer must consider the life and death of his colleagues, a mid-level officer must consider the survival of the team, and a senior officer must consider the overall situation of the battlefield. A marshal must consider the interests of the country, and to be the actual leader of a country must consider the life of the world and the historical process. This is also a style change that a mature historical novel should have.
====================
Book Review Nine:
My understanding of assertiveness and checks and balances:

What is assertiveness?

When doing multiple-choice questions, you can choose the right one.

It is good to be able to listen to other people's opinions and suggestions.

Three cobblers are worth a Zhuge Liang...

It is right to let people who are good at subjects that you are not good at do.

Many times, yours is right, but not the best fit.It is true that there is a group of people who can help you find the most suitable one.

A regime definitely needs checks and balances, and a regime lacking checks and balances will fall into crisis when the forces in charge of power are weak.This was the case with Qin Shi before, and it was the same with Han Wu.This was the case in the Song Dynasty after that, and the same in the Yuan Dynasty. The price of the Qing Dynasty's lack of success seems to be even more severe...

It's just the most suitable policy, there is no most reasonable and correct policy, so someone with power needs to constantly pursue and explore the most suitable policy and find the most suitable approach.And this requires competition, and a regime without checks and balances will always lack healthy and reasonable competition.The so-called fighting in the nest is a kind of internal strife and vicious competition.

What's more, for Leopard, he has the eldest princess in his hands, and the eldest princess is also in charge now.As long as the eldest princess is not lost, no one in the world can touch her in the slightest.

Did the Jinyang incident happen when he was in the desert?
With the eldest princess around, at present, no matter how he checks and balances, as long as he doesn't have unsuitable ambitions, it will be useless to him.That being the case, why care about checks and balances? If you want to, you can do it, as long as it doesn't affect the cause.He cultivates forces and groups that he thinks are suitable, and let them slowly form checks and balances, isn't that good?

In Hebei, he cultivated two forces successively, one was the old officials of Luoyang, and after taking over the emperor, he cultivated a Xiliang literati such as Jia Xu and others. These formed the inner circle of literati with the original Hebei scholars. checks and balances.On Chaotang, only when there are different voices, and after a reasonable discussion, can we find the most suitable solution as much as possible.That's what checks and balances are for.Not all checks and balances are infighting. In many cases, internal academic checks and balances can prompt everyone to work harder to find the most suitable solution.

Wars have to be fought, soldiers have to be recruited, and everything has to be fixed. If you want to speculate and bargain, this is reasonable.Reasonable bargaining, acceptable, is better than becoming an opposition force, right?Unreasonable bargaining, then refuse, nothing to say.

Internal sabotage, beyond the limit, there is nothing to say, the butcher's knife is still not old.

Prestige is not reflected by assertiveness, but by continuous success, continuous dedication, continuous efforts, and continuous hard work to convince others.

And the most suitable one is not something that can be taken for granted. It needs constant discussion, discussion, experimentation, improvement, perfection, and then...

Moreover, any system requires constant change to adapt to changing forces and social structures.

These are all normal.

Maintaining a court of checks and balances is a must.

And relative military checks and balances are absolutely impossible.Because that's the beginning of a split...

Soldiers reflect their value through wars and battlefields.

Civil officials, on the other hand, seek the most reasonable solution through discussion. This is their job.

So if everyone huddled together and gathered under one opinion, they would have nothing to do all day long, just nod and shake their heads.

At this time, they will make trouble instead of looking for trouble.

Under the circumstances at that time, it was unrealistic for everyone to work hard for their own ideas and plans, so it was more realistic for each group to work hard for their own ideas and ideas.

Generally speaking, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.

Powers and groups were not formed in a day, nor was Rome built in a day.

It's too late to look for it when you need it.

It is the right choice to search for it before it is needed and start cultivating it.

Talk about the so-called "leopard's theory of political idiocy"

Leopard is indeed a bit idiotic in terms of intrigue, some are too idealistic, and some are too persistent.

But in the general direction, I don't think he is an idiot, but very far-sighted.

First of all, he pays great attention to protecting himself. With the military power in his hand, he can say anything without turning the sky.

Secondly, secondly, he cultivated many forces in the imperial court, including warriors (soldiers and people from all over the world), powerful people (this faction has more, there are former Hebei, Luoyang veterans, and Xiliang, There are also those from Yingchuan, etc.), and those from poor families...

Also, is it really because of luck that a so-called political idiot can survive countless intrigues?

Of course, his paranoia destined his road to be difficult and hard.

The road is tortuous. In addition, the book is written by the author, so we can still look forward to a reasonable and happy ending.

So in many cases, after listening to the reports of your subordinates and arguing, just choose the one you think is the most reasonable.

This requires ability.In the end, these are your opinions.

Instead of saying that people say one and you say two, this is called opinion...

Everyone says one, only you say two, either a genius or an idiot...

But there seems to be no difference between a genius and an idiot...
