"Xiao Nao, you shouldn't be thinking about the will of the empire." Chen Xi looked at Fazheng, his original laziness had subsided a lot, and he said seriously with a hint of seriousness on his face, "To put it bluntly, Kushan's The will of the empire has become a general trend and it is difficult to stop it. I only realized it before. If it had been earlier, there would have been other ways to break it."
These days, it is difficult for anyone to understand the will of the empire better than Chen Xi. In this situation, it is inevitable that Nan Gui and Bei Gui will be integrated into one. With the size of Guishang, it is only a matter of time before the will of the empire emerges. Liu The emergence of Hao only furthered this necessity.
Now, actually relying on external forces to stop it will only further accelerate the process.
"Hey, my spiritual talent is mind telling. At other times, I can only use it to fight and calculate other people's thoughts. But this time is different. The will of the empire is the human heart. Then I really have some other ideas. ." Fazheng said with a smile, "How can there be no disadvantages in inducing pregnancy?"
Chen Xiruo nodded thoughtfully. Indeed, in this case, the imperial will of Guishang must absorb people's hearts. Then what if this people's hearts are poisonous?
"You just said before that the large Yuezhi population will enter the southern cities and intervene in social operations as managers. Isn't this an opportunity? Even if this trend has been finalized, I don't believe that most Brahmins will really have no reservations. Agree to this kind of thing." Fazheng said with a smile.
"The majority agree, but those who disagree can't stop this. I'm afraid the Brahmins at the top have already decided." Chen Xi nodded and said, "In fact, the question of moving from Vesuthiva I to the core city of Brahmin Women's City has already made an exchange of interests."
"But will those local Brahmins let the Yuezhi seize their local power? This time it is not about the emperor being far away, this time the people of the Yuezhi are being devolved to their city-states and taking over their power. power." Fa Zheng smiled sinisterly.
The core power of Brahman, that is, the right to interpret religion, Vesudeva I did not touch. He only relied on the coming of gods and Buddhas to make a series of refutations, proving that the existence and greatness of gods and Buddhas were not substantial. association.
Therefore, although the right of religious interpretation of the Brahmin class is retained, it is equivalent to cutting off the tentacles of Brahmin interference in political power by relying on theocratic power. Perhaps such tentacles can grow again in the future, but at least for now, after the Great Yuezhi enters the place, The power of the Brahmins was bound to shrink.
In this case, it is nonsense to say that there are no conflicts. At best, the upper management has proper control.
Although Fazheng didn't say it clearly, Chen Xi understood five points from the beginning.
"Then go ahead and do it. Whether it succeeds or not, it will only take some time at most." Chen Xi touched his chin and agreed to Fazheng's plan.
In fact, Chen Xi is not optimistic about Fazheng's plan. The current problem with the Brahmins is because of Sima Zhang's stab in the back, which caused the Brahmins to fall into the mortal world. There is no trust between them. In addition, Sima Zhang left behind a back-up plan before his death. Brahmins in various places died from time to time.
If at other times, a Brahmin member died, he would definitely be investigated, but at this time, it can only be ended hastily, and then it will be a shit basin for human beings to learn without a teacher. Now, Brahmins can no longer trust each other. .
After all, trust takes time to establish, but it is fatal to destroy it.
In the past, there was a very important restriction between Brahmins, that is, they were not allowed to kill Brahmins. Back then, Rahul was so mad that he even promoted Dalits to Kshatriyas on a large scale, went to war and conquered, etc. It can be said that the red line was crossed.
However, even if he behaved like this, Rahul was only imprisoned for more than ten years. If we really want to talk about abuse, the Brahmin senior officials of Qunu City did not abuse Rahul.
Even the Kshatriyas who were canonized by Rahul and the high-ranking Brahmins of Qunu City only suppressed them in the same way as Kshatriyas were dealt with. They did not humiliate them. Even if they died, they were buried as Kshatriyas. There was no Denying Rahul’s canonization actually recognized Rahul’s qualification as the mouth of Brahma.
Such behavior was fair and aboveboard, so even before Rahul was plotted, he was at most dissatisfied with the behavior of other Brahmins and had no idea of killing these people. The continuation of the system for nearly a thousand years has naturally made all Brahmins have the same position - We do not kill our own kind.
That's right, only Brahmins and Brahmins are of the same kind. Other castes, not even Kshatriyas, will enjoy this kind of treatment.
Precisely because they have built trust in these thousands of years, no matter what kind of opponent they are, they can deal with it. At most, they are dormant for a while. Anyway, as long as the other party still needs them to manage India, it is impossible to really do anything to them, so Brahmins can unite easily;
This is also the reason why Sima Zhang discovered that no matter what he played, as long as he was a Brahmin, he would be coerced. Because the Brahmin's innate position is the same, even if they fight with each other, they will maintain a bottom line. In this case, there is no sacrifice. Sacrificing yourself will reveal the fact that you are not a Brahmin.
Only when you really die as a Brahmin will you become a real irreversible deadlock. After all, you will die as a Brahmin. Why is not important anymore, because you are really dead.
It is precisely because of this true sense that the mutual killing between Brahmins ended this innate position, and the evil of human nature appeared. It could be said that it was Sima Zhang's backhand at the beginning, but later it was actually a fight between Brahmins. Fighting is the key to the shutdown of Brahmin society.
There is no time to run a society, all that is left is to assassinate each other and find ways to survive.
This is also the reason why Brahmins have evolved relatively quickly recently. The living environment of these people has entered the Warring States period from the Spring and Autumn Period. In the past, no matter how fierce the fight was, there was still a life-or-death interval. Everyone was the boss. After defeating the shouting brother, he was still Brother, now it has become a matter of death for me!
In such a cruel environment, evolution is of course very fast.
However, it was also because of this situation that the Dayeshi had the foundation to decentralize their young people to local Brahmin city-states for management.
In fact, Bankim and others took the initiative to promote this matter because they found that the Brahmins themselves had no way to prevent this situation, and even they were in the game.
To be honest, if Sima Zhang hadn't estimated that the forced assassination of Bankim and others would be easily exposed, and directly killed the top Brahmin guys like Bankim and Trivedi in the chaos of Brahmins killing each other, then what would have happened? The whole Brahmins will be completely in a crisis of confidence.
At that time, no one among the Brahmins will be able to spare their hands. Unless a certain Brahmin is strong enough to hold down all the others, no one will be able to stop for more than ten years.
But after more than ten years of killing, even if you stop, you can't go back to the beginning. Once trust is broken, don't mention such emotionally hurtful things again.
Just like the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, once the lower limit is opened, don't think about going back to the beginning.
Therefore, after the arrival of the Da Yuezhi people, although the local Brahmins would be resentful of the other party's seizure of power, only part of this resentment must be against the Da Yuezhi, and the other part must be against the high-ranking Brahmins.
After all, although Brahmins are equal according to scriptures, the Brahmins near Qunu City are obviously more equal than other Brahmins, so this resentment will not fall on the Da Yuezhi too many, plus a few years For the Brahmins who had never experienced such cruelty before, the existence of Da Yueshi at least made them no longer need to worry.
Compared with the loss of power, at least personal safety will no longer be threatened. When the time comes, the Brahmins as a whole will definitely not have a single emotion towards Da Yueshi. The results of individual living conditions may be completely different, but overall they will not be all angry. blame.
Under this premise, the effect of Fazheng's temporary plan will definitely not be very good.
But if it’s not good, it’s not good. It’s just a small gain. It’s the best if you can do it. If you can’t, it won’t be a loss.
"Wait a minute, Zichuan, are you thinking wrong?" Fa Zheng looked at Chen Xi's somewhat perfunctory look and said very unhappily, "Don't you think that this is the best I can do, and it's not a loss if I don't? , am I that bad?"
Chen Xi laughed twice when he heard this, but felt that there was no point in lying to Fa Zheng, so he nodded and told Fa Zheng what he knew.
"Why am I fanning the Brahmins?" Fazheng glanced at Chen Xi, "What are you thinking? Of course I'm fanning the Yuezhi! Compared to the Brahmins who have a complex mentality now and have been killing each other for several years, they were finally contained. Even if they have other thoughts, most Brahmins will probably feel that there is no need to worry anymore, and their desire for power will have to wait until these people calm down."
Maybe for some people, the desire for power is greater than the desire for survival, but for most people, survival is much more important than power. And when the Dayue clan intervenes in the southern city-state of Kushan, they are also concerned about most people, at least very much. A few extremely dissatisfied Brahmins, Da Yuezhi can send gods and Buddhas to heaven, and they can also send you Brahmins on their way.
Since the founding of Kushan, the Northern Guishan and the Southern Guishan have been at odds with each other, the insane Xiu Mi family has not sided with each other, the military spirit has not stood for the Southern Guishan, and the Kushan royal family has not considered any balance. If one of the above three conditions is missing, The capital in the north is Mengchui, and the capital in the south is Guizhou.
Although due to problems such as size and hematopoietic function, as well as Brahman's constant supply of logistics, Bei Gui can blast Nan Gui, but it is really impossible to kill Nan Gui. But in this situation, how much attack does Brahmin have to use to be enough for Bei Gui? This group of people fight.
"Don't fan the Brahmins? Why are you fanning? You can't be from the middle and lower castes. If you can fan the middle and lower castes, then many things will be easier to solve." Chen Xi said casually, but as he spoke, Chen Xi seemed to react. In addition to these, there seems to be another person who can fan and is easy to fan, and that is the people of the Dayue clan.
"It seems you understand." Fazheng said with a smile, "The Xiliang cavalry were all confused by the prosperity of Luoyang back then. What is the difference between the mountain people of Da Yuezhi and the Xiliang cavalry? What is the difference between the colorful world of Nangui and Luoyang? What's the difference."
Chen Xi restrained his ridicule and had to say that this idea was very reasonable.
"I don't even need to do anything. The people in the mountainous areas of Dayuezhi will inevitably cause the same situation as when the Xiliang cavalry entered Luoyang. And if I push the handle and release the desire of Dayuezhi, the movement will be Bigger, whether it's asking for money, exorbitant taxes, bullying men and dominating women, isn't that a matter of course?" Fa Zheng smiled gloomily.
"You're really good at it." Chen Xi admired after hearing this, "You're much better than me at this kind of thing."
"Okay." Fazheng said angrily, "It's not so much that you realize it, but that your mind is not on this aspect. After I said it halfway, you will understand everything that follows. I don't know where it is. It's just You’re not interested.”
Chen Xi thought about it and decided to accept Fa Zheng's flattery. He was used to it anyway.
"Speaking of which, it's rare to see you working so hard." Fazheng only praised him twice, then returned to his normal state and asked with a bit of curiosity, "Think about the last time you worked so hard. It seems that Xia Liangshi will still be caught. Going forward, it seems to be during the First and Five Dynasties Meeting, and going forward further, it feels like it will be during the Taishan Period."
Chen Xi's face twitched when he heard this, "Am I as lazy as you say?"
"No, it will only make you lazier than what I said." Fazheng said solemnly. Chen Xi was so suppressed that he lost his temper and did not have the nerve to argue.
"Forget it, I can't argue with you. There are actually quite a lot of jobs here in the Ganges." Chen Xi sighed, "We already have a population of nearly 10 million, and we can unleash the potential of these nearly 10 million people. They can do many things, but Now we can only say that we can barely make these nearly 10 million people self-sufficient and control each other so as not to create chaos for us when we leave."
Fazheng nodded. There is really nothing they can do about this. Chen Xi has 10 million people who can support the operational framework of an empire, and they have a population of 10 million. Just to keep these 10 million people from causing trouble. Considerable energy.
You must know that when Guo Jialai conquered Fahrenheit City in the Ganges, the Han Dynasty almost fell into a security war. At that time, they had less than 100,000 people, so how could they manage the middle and lower reaches of the Ganges with a population of 6 to 7 million.
In addition, the Brahmin class in various princely states were dissatisfied with the division of interests of the Han Dynasty and incited the people to harass and fight against the Han army, which exhausted the Han Dynasty.
After Li You arrived, he directly conducted human torture on the Brahmins and transferred the conflicts within the Brahmins. Only then could the Han Dynasty be freed from the hidden danger of the security war. However, after beating the Brahmins, Li You was also carried back. Yes, the management framework here has not been established yet.
As for Zhong Yao, he did indeed do well in Samajuzha, but that is based on the premise that the local Han migrant population and the local population are close to one to one. There is no such population ratio in other places, and there is no such expenditure for a character like Zhong Yao. Focus on dealing with civil affairs.
