New Shun 1730

Legal system, tradition, how much are these things worth? How powerful is it?

This is hard to say.

It was like the scene in Jerusalem in the later movie "Kingdom of Heaven".

Nothing

Everything

The same goes for Dashun at this time.

Bloodline has no power, because this is not a fantasy world. Bloodline brings such a big gap between people and paramecium.

But in the end, just as Li Shimin of Xuanwumen only caused chaos in the Tang Dynasty for three days, Zhu Di of Nanjing City only caused chaos in the Ming Dynasty for three years.

The traditional power of Dashun is still very strong.

The characteristic of this kind of force is that it may not be able to accomplish anything.

But if you want to stop something, there is definitely power.

Lao Ma said: [(After completing the step of summoning the heroic spirits), the social revolution of the 19th century cannot draw its poetry from the past, but can only draw its poetry from the future]

[It cannot begin to realize its task until all superstitions about the past have been eradicated.]

[Previous revolutions required recalling past world historical events in order to conceal their content from themselves (for example, the French summoned Caesar and the Gracchi brothers, and the British Protestants summoned Habakkuk)]

[The revolution of the nineteenth century must let the dead bury their own dead, so that they can understand their own content]

[In the past, words were better than content]

【Now content is better than words】

The same goes for Dashun.

Dashun wants to change, revolution, change, and truly move towards a great change that can affect more than one-third of the world's population.

So, this change.

"It cannot begin to realize its task until it has destroyed all superstitions about the past."

in other words.

The future changes in the land of China will require all old things, not just domestic ones, but even foreign ones, the old, traditional, and past paths to be walked over.

Until I discovered that all other roads were unavailable.

Until I discovered that all the superstitions about things in the past were nonsense, unrealistic, and unworkable.

Only then can we completely let go of our illusions and have to choose our own path, a brand new poem sung by small farmers and workers.

That is, before the real changes of the new era begin to realize their own tasks.

Dashun also needs a process of "eliminating all superstitions about the past."

In this process, in essence, Liu Yu, who was preparing to run away, and the old emperor, may also be regarded as "things of the past that can be superstitious" to people in the future.

Or, what Lao Ma said - "heroic spirits that can be summoned" and "undead that can wear their bones" are "card pool candidates".

That is to say:

Only when the rites of the Duke of Zhou, the dream of the well field, the scriptures of the Han Dynasty, the army of Juntian in the Tang Dynasty, the young crops of the Song Dynasty, the unlimited freedom of the grassroots tyrants of the Mongolian and Yuan Dynasties, even when the Yellow River water transport was cut off, the central government did not know, the official fields and large areas of the Ming Dynasty Rural vision, Dashun's equalization of half of the land, and then the reforms of the Practical School...and so on, and so on.

The roads that all the heroic spirits in the "ancient undead card pool" have walked are impassable, so that the people and the general public in the future will completely get rid of all superstitions about the past - including the distorted scriptures of the Real School. After all have been destroyed.

Only then will the real big changes in the new era come.

That is to say, when all kinds of roads fail in the end, you have to choose a way to go out on your own.

Therefore, on this stage in Dashun, if you want to sing wonderfully, and if you want to complete the opera of "eradicating all superstitions about the past" within thirty or fifty years, you need all kinds of people, Various policies, and at least one coup.

Because many of these policies that will be regarded as "heroes of the past" thirty or fifty years later are contradictory to each other, and many are completely opposite.

Therefore, it is impossible to rely on just one "emperor" to break all this.

Rather, at least two, or maybe three, are needed.

The previous one is backward and the next one is forward.

The former denounced the latter as being treasonous and immoral, while the latter denounced the former for being fooled by treacherous people and trying to sideline the emperor.

As Lao Ma said: [(Before things progressed to this point), the issue was no longer the debate about "a republic or a monarchy", but something else]

A republic is still a monarchy. At this stage, rhetoric trumps content. Because at this stage, republic is generally only a political form of revolutionary transformation of bourgeois society, rather than a conservative form of existence in bourgeois society.

In short, a republic, under certain conditions, is just a form of social transformation by the bourgeoisie under the conditions of a monarchy. In fact, it is possible for the bourgeoisie to continue to complete their social transformation under the monarchy. However, like France, because it needed to summon heroic spirits, it used the form of "words are better than content" to chop off the head of feudalism. Republic is just a "tool" at this stage, a political form, with the purpose of transforming Society, rather than really struggling with the rhetoric of "republic" or "monarch".

When the bourgeoisie continues to develop, it will find that they have invited the monarch back.

Until, when this step is completed, then it is the process of [content trumps rhetoric].

And when we get to the point where "content trumps words", that is when "all superstitions about the past are eliminated".

Therefore, at this point, the Emperor has become the content of the secret letter that has been broken, and it has no meaning as a [rhetoric].

Since it is neither content nor rhetoric, then the "Emperor", which is "there if you believe in it, and there is nothing if you don't believe in it; Nothing, Everything", does not exist at all.

A group of people are arguing about whether it is better to have sunshine for thousands of miles or white clouds covering the sky.

And a group of people who believe in darkness, do they need to debate whether it is sunshine for thousands of miles or white clouds covering the sky? Since there is no need to consider it, then naturally there is no sun. Because the sun itself is part of the superstition of old things.

In history, China has gone through the process of "breaking all the superstitions of old things and finding that those roads are not feasible" for a full 110 years since 1840.

During this period, we have gone through the imperial system, the restoration of the past, the restoration of the past, Christianity, the Westernization Movement, the Reform Movement, the republican form, the Blue Shirts Society, the low-profile fascists, the backward nations put in cages for exhibition, the military government that wanted to change the land for the butcher, the "free trade" without even tariffs, the federation, the division of warlords...

When all the old, the old of our country and the old of other countries, all failed, we found a way to break all the superstitions about the past of world history.

And Dashun, Liu Yu estimated optimistically. Perhaps, this process of breaking the superstition of past things, from now on, if there is a coup by an ambitious man with superb means, it may only take thirty to fifty years.

After all, the old emperor meant to build a new Great Wall and divide the inside and outside.

This is equivalent to "dual thread".

One thread is to run the "old road" to prove that the "old road" is not feasible.

A thread can run a "new road" and find that the "new road" is actually not feasible.

The old road is not feasible, needless to say.

And this "new road"...

Britain may be able to support millions of workers "aristocrats" with 35 million square kilometers, its first-mover advantage, and more than 200 million people in its colonial sphere of influence, and proudly support the British Empire; but this "new road" can support the world, but it cannot support about 350 million "aristocrats", who may have 400 to 500 million people, at least more than one-third of the world's total population at that time, as Dashun went to Nanyang and opened the Northeast to move to Fusang.

In short, are the people in northwest Gansu who lack water considered human beings? Are the poor people in the mountainous areas of Yunnan and Guizhou in the southwest who rely on corn and sweet potatoes to grow on the top of the mountain and have an explosive population growth considered human beings? Even when sea transportation replaces the canal, are the people in western Shandong considered human beings?

That's what I think.

Or, Liu Yu believes that not to mention the old emperor, even himself, and even the current practical school, may be "superstitious about past things" that will be broken in the future.

Can the old emperor be considered a "heroic spirit" among the "summoned dead" in the future?

Does he have a unique skill card as a hero?

It should be said that he does.

He raised his army by levying taxes and levies. Then he used bayonets and warships to expand abroad, and paid back "with interest" by providing disaster relief, reducing taxes, abolishing the canal to reduce the labor burden of the canal, and repairing the Yellow River.

This may also be considered a special "heroic spirit card skill" in the future, and it may be summoned once.

So, in other words, this means that Liu Yu believes that the old emperor's future "heroic spirit card" has been fulfilled.

It is unlikely to increase.

It is also unlikely to decrease.

Therefore, it doesn't matter what the old emperor thinks, designs, arranges, prepares, and plans now.

Liu Yu doesn't want to make any suggestions, nor does he want to be a loyal minister to advise.

Whatever the old emperor wants to do, then he will follow his ideas and say what he wants to hear.

In fact, at this point, the old emperor's layout is nothing more than how much blood will be shed and how painful it will be in the process of "the new era is born from the mother of the old era".

As for difficult labor and even two deaths, it is impossible.

Although Liu Yu is already considered a conservative of Dashun, he hopes to maintain the state machine of Dashun at least until the Yellow River embankment is completed, and hopes that Dashun can continue to move forward a few more steps so that the process of ending the old era with terror in the future can be faster.

Liu Yu just thinks that the fetus bred in the old era is not yet full.

He thinks that there should be a chance that the new fetus bred in the old era will not only be strong when it is born, but also hold a knife in his hand. It is definitely better to stab the mother of the old era to death with a knife right away than to strangle it to death bit by bit by struggling and rolling with insufficient strength.

However, if it really turns into radicalization, chaos, collapse, and continuous bloodshed for 40 to 50 years, it is not unacceptable. Anyway, even if it is in chaos for 70 to 80 years, it will only be 1840 in the Western calendar.

However, no matter what.

"Emperor" can only be a means for the old era to give birth to the new era.

It cannot be the final solution for this land, because this thing cannot solve the fundamental problems of more than one-third of the world's population.
