"You don't even understand the fundamental issue. What kind of politics do you still want to talk about? It's ridiculous. Do you really think that you can't fight a war if you don't want to? War has its own laws of operation, and it definitely does not rely on manpower. To control!"
"You fanatical believers in militarism have always believed in killing but don't know what construction is. Do you think a bloody butcher knife can deter the enemy? You are totally wrong..."
"No matter how bloody and cruel the killing is, it can't compare to the pressure of survival! When those alien races find that war means death, and not fighting means death. If they start a war, they can still get a chance to survive. Do you think they will make peace with you?"
"Xiang Ying! If the world operates according to your ideas, the final result will be nothing more than reversing the course of history, and we Han people will start hundreds of years of bloody fighting with the border peoples!"
"You still want to annex their land? Do you still want to build a multi-ethnic country? Go ahead and dream of your big dreams!"
"Xiang Ying, Xiang Ying! As long as you raise your butcher knife against the Manchus, once the curtain of genocide begins, there will be no turning back!"
Xiao Letian looked at Xiang Ying, who was pale and trembling, and sneered, "What are you thinking? Are you still thinking about how to justify yourself? Are you trying to say that you also have a unique economic policy for the border peoples?"
"Stop making excuses. You know very well that once you choose the strong idea of militarism, you will have no room for maneuver!"
"While advocating extreme national ideas and starting massacres of the Manchus, you are also talking about providing economic subsidies to the Mongolians, the Plateau and the Western Regions? Do you think the other party is mentally retarded?"
"In other words, even if you want to have a special economic subsidy policy for foreign races to maintain the territory and prevent it from being divided, have you ever thought about whether those fanatical militarists under you will agree?"
"Hahaha, they will immediately think that you are betraying. In their eyes, only the Han people can take advantage, and no other ethnic groups can have any advantage!"
"The person who helped you rise to power may be the one who brought you down! Since you chose to rely on the power of militarism to rise to power, you still want to change your mind halfway? Haha, I'm afraid you have underestimated the tyranny of this kind of thinking! "
"They can kill Emperor Tongzhi now! They can kill you in the future too!"
The bloody words hit the table, and sparks popped out. Xiang Ying was no match for the master. He was completely speechless after scolding him. He finally understood the difference between himself and the master. This was not a weight at all. Class.
If Xiang Ying's ideological system is a big river, then Xiao Letian's thought is the vast Pacific Ocean!
Xiang Ying has never analyzed a problem from this unique perspective. This is a blank spot in his knowledge. Xiao Letian stabbed in from here and directly removed Xiang Ying's proud and hard shell.
"I...I..." Xiang Ying was holding back tears. He was completely speechless. He suddenly realized that he was so wrong.
Xiao Letian obviously didn't want to let him go. He knew very well the principle of following the stick when hitting a snake. If he didn't strike while the iron is hot today and completely reshape the thinking of people like Xiang Ying, then when he gets older, it would be difficult for him to control the Chinese people. In the future, these crazy young people may cause many more troubles.
Xiao Letian took out a cigarette, and Wang Junlan next to him quickly struck a match. The spicy smoke lifted Xiao Letian's spirits.
"I don't know if you have studied the history of the Song Dynasty. For this dynasty, later generations of historians both love and hate it!"
"On the one hand, the people loved the prosperity of the Song Dynasty and the elegant scholars, but on the other hand, the people deplored the Song Dynasty's weak martial arts. When faced with the invasion of foreign tribes, most of the Song Dynasty was passively defensive!"
"The most representative of them is the Alliance of Tan Yuan! It was obviously a winnable battle, but in the end it ended with a contract. It was obviously Song Zhenzong who personally conquered the Song army. The morale of the Song army was high. Xiao Taolin, the commander of the Liao army, was defeated by the Song Dynasty. The army was shot to death, and the morale of the entire Liao army was low..."
"Under such an advantageous background, the Tanyuan Alliance actually asked the Song Dynasty to compensate the Liao Kingdom for millions of years every year! This treaty was regarded by countless people as a sign of losing power and humiliating the country, and it was a shame for the Han civilization!"
"But is this really the case? I'm afraid there are many issues worth pondering in the shadow of history!"
"We must admit that although the Song Dynasty was weak militarily, they truly reached the pinnacle of Chinese civilization in the Middle Ages economically and culturally. In particular, the commercial trade of the Song Dynasty was the highest in thousands of years!"
“When the Ming and Qing dynasties reached their peak, they did not dare to compare with the Song Dynasty’s economic scale!”
"On the surface, the Tanyuan Alliance is a shame, but you can't deny that it is precisely because of such a seemingly humiliating treaty that it brought a full hundred years of peace between Song and Liao. Come to a country where both sides are brothers, and the sound of fighting will no longer be heard at the border..."
"The Sui coins were indeed given to the Liao Kingdom for free, but at the same time you have to analyze the socio-economic structure at that time. You have to admit that there was a huge trade deficit between the Song Dynasty and the Liao Kingdom!"
"The Liao Kingdom basically needs all the commodities of the Song Dynasty, while the Song Dynasty only needs some of the commodities of the Liao Kingdom. Under this trade background, the Liao Kingdom's economy has gradually become an economic vassal of the Song Dynasty..."
"According to historical records, the prevailing currency in the Liao Kingdom at that time was Song money. Even Japan at that time also circulated a large amount of Song money!"
"Why is this? Because the smelting technology of the Song Dynasty is far superior to that of the surrounding ethnic minorities. By pouring the same furnace of coins, the Song Dynasty can keep the cost to the lowest and the quality to be the best!"
"The copper coins poured by other ethnic groups are not only of poor quality, but also cost extremely high. They are naturally uncompetitive in the currency market!"
"Look, even the basic currency has been controlled by the Song Dynasty. It is conceivable that the Liao Kingdom's economy has been completely annexed by the Song Dynasty's economy and turned into a miserable vassal!"
"Let's take the example just now. In the Song Dynasty, every trade and every commodity was like a water pump, constantly absorbing nutrients from the surrounding peoples. Through trade, the wealth of the surrounding peoples began to flow into the Central Plains in large quantities!"
"And the limited products that the surrounding foreign races can provide are like a few low-power water pumps that cannot run. They are completely incomparable to the water pumps in the Central Plains!"
"If things go on like this, these economically backward countries are destined to exhaust their currency reserves on the market. When an economy's base currency is drained, they will no longer be able to buy goods from the Central Plains!"
"You must know that the few foreign races rely on many products from the Central Plains for immediate needs. Among other things, just one thing, salt, can suffocate the races on the grassland to death!"
"There are also tea, cloth, ironware...these are the basic commodities that foreigners rely on for survival. When their folk wealth is drained and they have no money to buy, what can they do?"
"No one will just watch the people around them die. What other choice do they have besides war? The only way is to fight!"
"That's how the game of business is. There must be comings and goings. When you make money, you have to let others make money. Only in this way can the liquidity of business be maintained for a long time, so that both nations can survive in long-term peace and order!"
"The so-called Sui coins are actually an economic subsidy system provided by the Song Dynasty to the ethnic minorities at that time. The only purpose of this system is to ensure commercial liquidity as much as possible! Don't let the foreign economy collapse, because once it collapses, there will inevitably be war!"
