Hidden Dragon in Qing Dynasty

All the Chinese soldiers who were present perked their ears up. Even the German and French personnel who were accompanying them started to take secret records. Everyone hoped to get some top secret information from Xiang Ying.

But unfortunately, today they met Xiang Ying who resembled a ghost. What came out of his mouth were all the secrets of the Asian cultural system, not any of the current military and national affairs.

"We have been living in China for five thousand years. Ever since we had the name 'China', the concept of 'the barbarian warrior of the barbarian race' has appeared along with it …"

"This is just like the night when there is daylight. It is like Yin and Yang coexisting together!"

"What exactly is Huaxia and what is Shedi? When the Führer told me this, he did not even bother to write a sentence from an old book. Instead, he told me a very long and interesting story.

"Around 5000 B.C., this is even older than the Xia Dynasty. According to the Western Chronicles, this is almost six thousand years ago …"

"In today's Ningbo region of Zhejiang Province, there is a civilization called the Hamdu Civilization... "Don't ask me. I asked Master, but Master just laughed and didn't tell me how he knew …"

"Just listen to what you have to say! "As for the Hamudu civilization, they are actually a very primitive tribal civilization. They drink blood, have just learned how to grow rice, can burn some of the roughest pottery, and can even fish …"

"But in this civilization, there is an evil habit... That is cannibalism! "

"The people of this tribe will capture the people of the other tribes as if they were wild beasts when they are hunting. The most popular prey is the baby. They will stew the baby or the child along with the fish!"

"Don't puke …" This kind of cannibal humans still exist, the South America and many forests in Southeast Asia. Even today, there are still cannibals, this was how humans lived in the early days … "

Xiang Ying opened the water bottle and drank a mouthful of water, suppressing the disgust in his heart.

"Let me tell you again, in this same period of civilization, there was another civilization called Half-Slope Civilization by the Yellow River …" "It's better if you don't ask. Even if you do, I won't be able to explain the origin of this name …"

"This Half-Slope civilization is a little better than Ham Dow. At least it's a little more advanced in technology... They can grow corn, chestnuts and raise some chickens and ducks, and they can also fish and hunt... "

"More importantly, the pottery technology of the Banpo people is much more advanced than that of the Hamudu civilization... "The most important point is that this tribe has already abandoned their cannibalism. They are about to enter a complete farming civilization …"

"Well then, here comes the problem... May I ask which of these two tribes of the same period was civilized, and which was savage? If you really want to divide one, how do you think we should divide it? "

"Does that even need to be said? "Of course, the people on the other side of the Yellow River are a bit more civilized, and the man-eating Hamudu is naturally barbaric and barbaric!" A soldier answered loudly.

"That's right, that's the truth. In fact, if we can travel through time and space and return to the distant era of 5,000 B.C., would we be able to imagine such a scene?"

"It's the same tribe. If a civilization like Hamdu attacks the surrounding tribes, what will they do when the weaker and weaker tribes see that the attackers are cannibals?"

"Of course I'm going to risk my life! No one wanted to die, and even more so, no one wanted to be eaten! Therefore, even if these tribes are weak, they will risk their lives to resist it! "

"But what if the main characters of the conquest were to be replaced with a slightly more civilized half-po? They attacked other small tribes not for the sake of killing people or eating humans, but just for the sake of increasing the number of slaves in their tribes, because their farmland needs more slaves to grow! "

"Of course there will be resistance, but it will definitely not be as fierce as resisting the cannibals, because they know that the result of failure is nothing more than being slaves. They will be able to live on as if they were eating and drinking!"

"Even a slave's life would be better, because these people have beautiful pottery and more advanced farming techniques... The conditions for living and eating here are even better than when I'm free! "

"How should I choose? If we put ourselves in a different era, how will we choose? "Actually, this choice is the boundary between civilization and barbarism!"

"Master said that everything that appears in human society has a legacy, including the concepts of China and Yidi, these two concepts weren't created by a single person!"

"This concept has existed throughout the history of human civilization for hundreds of thousands of years!"

"This is a relative concept! Because the ultimate goal of a person is to pursue happiness, and what is happiness? At different times, there will be different standards, and the standards are relative and can be compared! "

"Since you're from the same tribe as the Yellow River, you can feed a hundred people a year, and I can support a hundred and fifty, so I'm happier than you …"

"Also the conquered, I was taken by the Bian Po people to be a slave, you were taken by the Hamu people to be stewed into meat soup … "Then I will be happier than you!"

"And the place where happiness resides is actually the most civilized and developed place, while the ancestors of China used two words to describe it!"

"We, are the most courteous, the most humane, and the happiest places … That would be China! "

"And the surrounding primitive tribes that were rude, dirty, cannibal, and barbaric... Of course, it's a barbarian army! "

"If that's the case, then you all understand!"

Seeing everyone's expression of realization, Xiang Ying sighed in his heart, "It's all thanks to Master's thorough explanation! If I had half the eloquence of Master, I wouldn't have sweated so much! "

"China and Yidi are actually what the westerner said about civilization and barbarism!"

"Just how are you going to compare them? You have to compare them with those who have gone through the same period of time, not those who have surpassed the times!"

"The cannibal race and those races that raise slaves are actually barbaric and backward in the eyes of the modern man. However, in that era, the difference between these two races was like heaven and earth!"

"Slavery and feudalism are the same. The modern man looks backward, but in that era of social transformation, these two differences were completely epoch-making, and could even be a huge gap between different dynasties!"

"What, then, is the contrast between feudalism and capitalism? This is the end of the battle between the two systems. I think everyone can see the gap between them now! "

"Of course, the people in the Qing Dynasty still can't understand this logic even though they are blind!"

"All the answers have appeared. The answers you want are all in these ancient historical stories!"
