Can you live forever

Chapter 243 Civilization Awakening, The Universe Is Born (Two in One)

It is the strategy set by Zhang Zhixiang and Jiajing to force the country through Annan's reform.

The ideological change of the Southern Expedition Army is a very important part. Only when they have seen and experienced it can they understand the difference.

As for Li Weining.

He only saw the power that erupted after the liberation of the people under Juntian Freedom, but he never thought that when everything is reborn, it is full of strength and vitality. The problem lies in how to go in the future.

There is no revolution in the depths of the human heart, and some things will eventually resurface.

That's when it's called trouble.

Because people who eat ginseng to nourish their bodies all the year round, when they are really sick and need ginseng, the medicinal effect of ginseng will not improve after eating ginseng, and they will eventually die.

Whether it's drug resistance or boredom, it's all the same.

Daming died not only because of internal conflicts, but because of the gentry and rich merchants. It has been too long since Daming died. Even those gentry and rich merchants themselves have fallen into a pool of stagnant water. After dividing up their interests, they have grown tired of Daming.

They don't want to work under the banner of Daming anymore, they want to change to a new environment.

The law of historical cycles is not only reflected in peasant uprisings, but also in the rentier class. Capital needs to proliferate, and the rentier class will also be involved...

We often think about the bottoming out of the oppression of the exploited, but ignore the topping out from above.

this is not right.

What happened in the Six Dynasties was only a private plan of the family.They are a class, not a sect. Within a sect, there is a struggle for who is in charge. In many cases, the activities of careerists are the key to the real downfall of the building.

For example, the Anshi Rebellion in the Tang Dynasty had nothing to do with the common people.

Because of the actions of careerists like An Lushan and Shi Siming, the middle and late Tang Dynasty fell into endless chaos.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, those gentry and rich merchants were unwilling to play the old game of "Da Ming" and wanted to change to a new game. Otherwise, why would Jianzhou Jurchens rule the Central Plains?
It's just that I often walk by the river without getting my shoes wet.

Just play off.

Zhang Zhixiang and Jiajing did not easily set up the horse school in Daming because of this consideration. Even if they succeed in the initial stage and fail after dozens or hundreds of years, then this banner will no longer be able to play its due appeal. .

If you don’t want people to burn out, you must plan well from the very beginning, understand what you want, and find the correct answer.

Li Weining didn't understand these things.

He fell into a frenzy, the people in Annan were also enthusiastic, and the Southern Expedition Army was also full of enthusiasm. They saw what was in front of them, but they didn't think about what would happen after the land was equalized and the tax was exempted?
How many people will have victory in the war, and I will not be able to enjoy the thought of happiness?
Qin loves extravagance, and people also miss his family.

Human beings have selfishness, which is based on the living instinct of living beings, which cannot be eliminated. If we insist on eliminating it, we will deny life. Dayu's control of floods told us that floods cannot be blocked, but can only be channeled.

What comes from life should be attributed to life.

……

Zhang Zhixiang is the capital who left on the third day of May.

As mentioned earlier, Taihang Mountain has eight paths. After leaving the capital, you can go west to Taihang Mountain. In fact, there is a route connecting all the eight paths of Taihang.

Although there is a road after thousands of years of development, after all, in the mountains, the road to the south is not easy.

He didn't ride a horse.

After leaving the capital, Zhang Zhixiang began to fasten the valley, eating wind and drinking dew all the way, walking through mountains and forests, meeting many caravans and more bandits on the way.

Taihang Mountain stretches for more than [-] miles and is the junction of Mongolia, Shanxi, Henan and Hebei provinces.

There is an endless stream of business routes.

The mountains are high and the forest is deep, which is suitable for bandits to hide. Of course, not all bandits are bandits. Many bandits are actually people who evade taxes at the foot of the mountain.

Shanxi is rich in minerals, and the most transported cargo to the east, especially to the capital, is coal.

Large cities must have sufficient coal resources. This has been the case since the Northern Song Dynasty. In a big city like Kaifeng, firewood cannot supply millions of people, so coal must be burned.

The utilization of coal and the development of coke are the key to the further development of iron smelting.

The development of metallurgical technology in the history of our country has a context, and the application of coal is not only for life and metallurgy, but also a large number of newly built factories in the south. Coal is also needed for steam turbines.

Over the years, Shanxi merchants can be said to have made a lot of money.

The only flaw is that people from the south of the Yangtze River do not bring people from the north to play. There are no seats for Shanxi merchants in the Zhoushan Committee, and there is no room for Nanjing merchants. Shanxi merchants lack political capital.

Why is it that seven or eight out of ten of the richest people in the capital are Shanxi merchants?

They had money, so they had to spend it. However, in the Ming Dynasty, either Nanjing had the final say or the emperor had the final say. They didn't like Shanxi merchants very much, and Shanxi merchants failed to become popular after all these years.

This will not work.

No matter how many officials are bribed by the imperial court, you can’t form an organizational force. It’s just a mess. If something happens, it’s useless. No matter how much money you have, how can you do it without the power to protect it?
thus.

Shanxi merchants are not only entangled with the frontier generals of Xuanfu and Datong, but in this Taihang Mountains, many bandits were originally cultivated by them...

After Zhang Zhixiang learned all the way, he decided to take a detour.

After he reached the Flying Fox Trail, he turned back west and headed for Datong.

The more you go west, the more you feel the climate problem of the Ming Dynasty. The distance from the 400mm precipitation line makes the side west of Taihang Mountains obviously desolate. There is yellow sand.

It was only when we came to Datong that we realized that the frontier army was bitterly cold.

Even if it is close to the Yellow River, the sky is full of yellow sand. After leaving Datong and outside the Great Wall, I understand what desolation is, and I understand why Daming did not accept the Hetao.

Because there is no way to survive here, the vast wasteland, even the Mongols can't see it.

To keep going north.

Go to the northernmost part of the Yellow River "Ji" and cross the river, and you can see an oasis at the northeast corner of the Yellow River. There is Fengzhou Beach, which is a place with abundant water and grass recorded in the history of the Ming Dynasty.

There is the Hetao in the modern sense, and the Hetao in the ancient sense is within the Yellow River.

The hundreds of kilometers of land between the Yellow River and the Great Wall, the so-called Hetao area...is all desert, the Mu Us Desert.

Daming is no better than later generations.

In the Yellow River in May, the summer dry season begins. In the middle and upper reaches, the water flow is not like that of the mother river. In the winter dry season, the flow will be more frequent.

The desert that the Mongols didn't want was blown into a place full of water and grass, and it was stuffed into the south of the Yangtze River. The history of the Ming Dynasty even recorded that Xia Yan was beheaded because of his advice to regain the Hetao. It is simply a joke.

The desert is for you, you go to farm?
Moreover, since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, Hetao has never been occupied, so how can it be regained.

It's just that at the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, Mongolia was attacked from the north, and the defense line was extended to the Fengzhou Beach area.

During the Hongwu Yongle period, the grassland was originally the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and it was reasonable to abolish the border defense later. In order to integrate Mongolia and Han, the rich and noble children of Mongolia at that time were all sent to the capital to study and get married.

Qin Wang Zhu Xi married Wang Baobao's younger sister, and he took the lead, and recruited many Mongolian son-in-laws. (Wang Baobao's younger sister, Avalokitesvara, the prototype of Zhao Min.)
At one point, there were more than 2 Mongolian officials in Beijing.

Ethnic integration is the general trend. The grassland is so big, there will always be people to live and herd. You can't kill them all. You either let the Mongols graze, or you send Han people there.

Zhu Yuanzhang has sent Ning Wang Zhu Quan to Daning to graze, but the grassland is not limited to Daning?
The Great Wall has never been the border of Ming Dynasty, but the boundary between Mongolia and Han!
It is nothing more than the differentiation and integration of Mongolia.

Wuliangha is at the northernmost point. When the Mongolian tribes dared to move, Wuliangha took the back road. The most abundant water and grass in the east was given to Horqin, which is the closest to Xuanda. Only to the Mongolian orthodoxy of the Golden Family.

In this way, until the Yingzong period, Ming Dynasty actually controlled Mongolia.

In order to send Yingzong back to Beijing, the Tumubao Mutiny not only mobilized various Mongolian ministries, but even Jianzhou Jurchen came to help, which shows the status of the Great Emperor in Mongolia.

But what did Zhu Qiyu and Yu Qian do?
They supported Tuotuobuhua, the grand master of Wala, but Tuotuobuhua was Boerzhijin's family!He is a descendant of the Golden Family!It has the legal system to unify Mongolia!

He also killed Tuotuobuhua immediately, and gave Zhu Qiyu two horses to demonstrate.

However, Zhu Qiyu didn't give up at all, they continued to attack, and finally, they were killed by their own people first. Now it's all right, the Golden Family regained momentum, Mongolia was unified again, and the integration of Mongolia and Han was interrupted.

The incomparably close exploration and cooperation trade of Tumubao was also over.

Because of the civil fort, Mongolia became an "enemy country", trade was banned, and smuggling began...

Exploration and cooperation trade is a bulk commodity exchange, while smuggling is only for making money. The difference is huge.

The scale of trade cannot be increased, and there is no supplies. What can the Mongolians do?
Except for farming in Fengzhoutan, other nomadic places cannot provide for survival at all. It is a wrong perception that herdsmen eat meat. Most of the time, herdsmen do not eat meat. Their staple food is cheese, so it is They need tea to digest food, and life on the grassland is very bitter and cold. When winter comes, they must go south to invade the border.

Either looting supplies through war, or... reducing his own population.

This situation will not be alleviated until Wanli crowns Alta Khan queen and trade is opened up, and Mongolia is officially included in the sphere of influence of Ming Dynasty.

But before that.

The Tumu Fort affected not only the Mongolian people, but also died first, Oala declined, Mongolia was reunified, and the descendants of the Jin family continued to rule, and the north was threatened.

During the Zhengde period, the little Mongolian prince was eager to try.

If it weren't for Zhengde's severe defeat of Mongolia, the border affairs would have to be corrupted, and the repair of the earth like Liaodong would have to happen in advance.

It was also the Battle of Yingzhou in the 12th year of Zhengde. Now An Dahan is very peaceful. Although Mongolia has been unified, he has no disrespect to the Ming Dynasty, and only asks for trade.

however.

Open trade, how to smuggle?The smuggling group will not agree.

From the west of Datong, you can reach Fengzhoutan in more than [-] miles. This is the shortest route to Fengzhoutan. The Mongolians like to call this place Tumochuan. Later generations also established a city in Tumochuan——HHHT .

Zhang Zhixiang did not walk in a straight line, he first crossed the river to the west, walked a long distance in the desert, and only crossed Hebei after confirming that it was deserted.

But in the Hetao area of ​​later generations, most of them are deserts.

The water volume of the Yellow River is pitifully small. It was not until the Manchu Qing Dynasty that the entire north bank of the Yellow River would be able to be farmed due to diversion. Today, only Fengzhou Beach is an oasis in the north.

Traveling along the Yellow River, watching the river all the way.

Zhang Zhixiang sincerely felt the harbinger of the coming natural disaster.

Feel the injustice between the North and the South during the next year.

Zhang Zhixiang squatted by the river, picked up a handful of water from the shallow river, and nearly half of it was filled with sand... Planting trees can only prevent sand, and greening depends on the climate.

Only when the warm climate of the Han and Tang Dynasties is restored, Guanzhong and Hetao will become fertile plains.

Henan is referred to as Yu for short.

It’s not just the meaning of Tianyu Xiang, there used to be groups of elephants living in Henan...

As the climate warms and the 400 mm precipitation line moves northward, not only the Hetao area will recover, but also the Western Regions. The entire Northwest will have 31 billion mu more arable land. That will be the prosperity of Chinese civilization climate.

"The way of heaven, the way of humanity..."

Zhang Zhixiang slowly let go of his hand, allowing the sand to slip from his fingers. The demise of Ming Dynasty seemed to be helped by God, and the rise of later generations seemed to be helped by the way of heaven.

When he crossed, the 400 mm isoprecipitation line had already begun to move northward, and in another 30 to [-] years, the climate would return to that of the Han and Tang Dynasties.

And several major opponents have begun to collapse themselves...

In later generations, there is a "Entry into Customs", which is not actually a question of whether China enters the customs or not, but Shanhaiguan is rushing towards China, just like the entry of the Qing Dynasty in the past, regardless of China's wishes. Have you prepared well? When you look back, you will be stunned to find that you have entered the customs.

"The rise and fall of the world can only be passively accepted?"

"So, how can one escape the cycle?"

"How can we grasp the opportunity of the prosperity of the Han and Tang Dynasties if we can't stand the test of the Ice Age and perish? It's just waiting for the turn of the weather again."

"The way of heaven is not for us to accept, but for us to pass the test..."

Zhang Zhixiang suddenly had some insights, he understood why the practice should talk about the unity of man and nature, and also talk about going against the sky.

The way of heaven goes round and round, a simple cycle is meaningless, and since man was born in heaven and earth, it has its purpose and expectations, and man must transcend the cycle to support heaven and earth and master yin and yang.

Let the universe maintain a dynamic balance like Tai Chi, rather than in a large cycle of evolution, where yin and yang are switched and repeated.

The number of Dayan is fifty, escape one and live 49.

One is Tai Chi, it is Tao.

Human beings are one of a kind. Only by mastering the Tao, realizing civilization, breaking away from the cycle, and being able to step forward, lead to the starry sky, and master the entire universe, can civilization live forever and the universe live forever, which is the ultimate mystery.

It turned out to be the case.

When civilization is awakened, the universe is born.Civilization is the spirit of the universe.

　Well, the update in March is over.
