Chapter 2935: Spiral Ascension
Seeing this thing, Chen Xi inevitably needs to compare the impression in his mind. To be reasonable, civilization does not have an absolute suppression effect on barbarism before it develops to a certain extent. Let’s take a look at this report...
Since Rome has already pointed out the lathe and the windmill transmission has also been pointed out, not to mention the industrial revolution, at least there should be no problem in the slightest hitting the surroundings.
Even if these two things cannot allow a civilization to make a big stride, the equipment standardization and standardization it brings alone is enough to allow a civilization to crush the surrounding countries.
I think the Qin Dynasty also relied on these things to cut down the six kingdoms. Of course, a large part of the reason why the Qin Dynasty could reach this point is due to the expansion brought by its system itself.
The military merit system established by Shang Yang's reforms greatly improved his combat effectiveness in any aspect, and the advantages of these weapons and equipment are probably the icing on the cake.
Of course, when thinking about Rome on the other hand, it is enough to have an advantage in weapons and equipment. The quality of Roman citizens themselves is not bad, and they have such advantages in military preparation. If it is really reasonable, it should not be possible. How can this be said to have a capsized ship?
Then Chen Xi thought about it and realized that Rome had killed himself. It was meaningless to have these things, and it was completely Rome's own problem.
If you think about it carefully, how much does the reason for the capsized Rome have to do with the barbarians? In essence, it is just like the blame for the Five Barbarians going south to Cao Liu. It looks very well-informed. In fact, what really wants to say is just that future generations are embarrassed by themselves and have no energy to bear, so they can only be thrown to the dead.
In the late Han Dynasty, the Five Barbarians of the Northern China seemed to be like children's toys, and they could be killed casually. The descendants of the Western Jin Dynasty could not afford such toys of their predecessors at all, and then they directly destroyed the later generations due to a series of accidents.
Should the first person take the blame for this matter? Maybe it should take the blame, but when taking the blame, if the first person can stand up, you must ask, your generation is dead!
Just like the official Han Dynasty and historical books directly recorded that the Han Dynasty was the Five Barbarians, and the Hu people could not refute it. In that era, this was a final thing.
If you don’t accept it, you will be beaten to death. During the Three Kingdoms period, any princes along the way would summon the Hu people and sway them. They dared to talk nonsense and kill them directly. The Hu people would be killed.
From the time of Emperor Huan Duan Jin, Dong Zhuo and others were almost discolored in the northern border. In the early days, there were guys like Gongsun Zan who were flying up like a wave. When they were in Yuan Shao, they dared to force Hu Qi to use it as their subordinates in just one sentence. Then, when Cao Cao went north to slaughter Wuwan, the Hu people could not get on the table at this time.
The strongest Hu people, who were swearing, would just stand up to a few words of these big bosses in the late Han Dynasty, and then they were killed. Which one could be on the table?
Even Gongsun Yuan, the prince who was the most unsatisfied in the Three Kingdoms, was able to give titles to the Xianbei people and conscript the Hu people to fight for him before Sima Yi was pressed into the soil and rubbed him with friction.
Gongsun Yuan was so scum in the Three Kingdoms that he could not even be considered a slim player in the national team. As a result, he still dominated the king in the places where Hu people in Liaodong were crowded.
Although his grandfather Gongsun Du was in the background, the problem was that Gongsun Du from Liaodong belonged to the lower nine vassals in the Han Dynasty. He did not even have a state, but only a county!
Just this is Gongsun Du, who was not even considered a miscellaneous fish in the real battlefield at the end of the Han Dynasty, attacked Goguryeo in the east, attacked Wuhuan in the west, and captured the Liaodong Peninsula in the south, and beat all the Hu people around him to kneel down and call him dad.
In this case, it would be strange if the Han Dynasty could think that the Hu people would become their own enemy. It would be strange if Cao Cao and others could foresee that these people could overwhelm their descendants in the future.
The princes in the Han Dynasty were not all the strange things like Gongsun Zan who hated the Hu people. Most of the princes had a flaw in their views on the Hu people. Who would have thought that future generations were so unsuccessful? Yes, it was that later generations were not prosperous. It was not that the Hu people became stronger, but that later generations became weaker!
Before the Three Kingdoms, the Han Dynasty had never fought a few bad wars against the Hu people. After the Three Kingdoms, forget it, let’s change this to a few bad wars that had never fought or bad.
"..." Chen Xi couldn't help but sigh when he thought of this, threw the official documents aside, and then straightened out the things his brain was thinking about. History is really unreasonable!
If the four classical empires at the end of the second century were based on the information collected by Chen Xi now, the last one to overturn their enemies was a reasonable situation except that Anxi died in Rome.
The other three, whether it was the end of the Han Dynasty, were back-stinged by the Five Barbarians in the rebellion of the Eight Kings at the end of the third century, and then fell into poverty for hundreds of years, until the birth of Emperor Wen of Sui Yang Jian, was reunited.
Or was the Roman Empire Alexander Severu ended, and the crisis in the third century began. In less than fifty years, twenty-six emperors were kneeling down, until Justinian I fought for decades, and was only one step away from recapturing the entire Mediterranean, but it was a success.
Or the Kushan Empire, Visutva I turned the tide and integrated the Kushan North and South to rebuild the empire until the Second Ascends the throne, the northern nobles turned to Ardashir, and the empire collapses in a blink of an eye.
If you really want to be logically speaking, these three things are unreasonable!
If you even think about it carefully, these so-called opponents who ended these empires are really opponents in this era when the end of the empire is not!
The Five Barbarians in the northern part of the Western Jin Dynasty did not exist, but had always existed, but were just rubbed by the Han Dynasty in the soil.
The barbarians in northern Rome did not exist, but they also existed all the time, but they were once rubbed by Rome in the soil.
Even the hidden dangers in the north of the Kushan Empire did not exist, but they also existed all the time. However, no matter how strong the religious forces in the north and south were, they could not stop the crushing of the imperial wheel.
"This is really..." Chen Xi reached out and picked up the official document again, and couldn't help but sigh. The higher he stood, the further he saw, especially when he could compare history, many history was inevitable for Chen Xi.
"The empire has never fallen under the opponent's hands, it has always fallen under its own hands, and this kind of necessity is almost a spiral of history..." Chen Xi sighed softly, and the feeling that was like reincarnation clearly appeared in Chen Xi's heart.
The Roman crisis in Europe, the Eight Kings Rebellion in the Central Plains, the civilizations that had been passed down for a long time and had never experienced a real catastrophe in the sense of the truth collapsed, and the country also collapsed. In the form of mutual conquest and fighting each other, Rome fell and the Central Plains sank.
Two empires, known as the light of world civilization, instantly fell into the darkest era. In that era of constant fighting and endless fighting, neither the Central Plains nor Europe could see the slightest possibility of restoration.
However, in just two hundred years, Europe's Justinian I recovered the Roman land before his death, and the Roman Empire would be completely restored if Justinian's adopted son was powerful and the last gap was recovered, the Roman Empire would be completely restored.
More importantly, after completely restoring the Mediterranean bathtub, the difficulty of the Roman Empire's rule will plummet, and it is almost a matter of time to restore the glory of the Roman Empire.
However, Justinian I was called the last great Roman emperor, which means that his adopted son failed.
If his adopted son succeeded, then time would just meet Yang Jian's unification of the Central Plains. However, if it failed, Rome completely lost the possibility of liberation. It was even because of this that they later lost everything they once proud of.
The Central Principle is to successfully resume, follow the trend, ups and downs, and still sit on the mahjong table and play mahjong with other civilizations a thousand years later.
Sometimes, it was really a step difference, a world of difference. The last few years of Justinian I and the ten years after his death were almost the last chance to completely restore glory. However, Rome was not sure and no longer had glory.
"I really feel like reincarnation, even a horror that even the law of dynasty cannot describe." Chen Xi couldn't help but sigh when he thought of the world history in the next three hundred years. There were too many such things, but fortunately there were no coincidences.
"Forget it, it's meaningless to think too much. At least this time it is indeed possible to transcend the dynasty law. The Roman citizen system. My Han Dynasty has to support 100 million nobles this time!" Chen Xi sighed and said softly, "The empires all died in deeds, and very few died from foreign enemies."
Just like the future that Diocler once thought about but had no choice but to give up, Chen Xi really planned to take this path that no one had taken.
When the granaries are full, you know etiquette; when you have enough food and clothing, you know honor and disgrace. Chen Xi believed in this sentence. He cultivated all the tens of millions of people now and hundreds of millions of people in the future, which were almost small landlords like Roman citizens. At that time, just one guided this group of people to burst out and promote the wisdom of the entire era. Chen Xi believed in geniuses, but Chen Xi believed in the wisdom of the people more.
Seeing the mediocre people, when their next generation and the next generation have the opportunity to receive a complete education, and can no longer be trapped by food and no longer be bound by survival, Chen Xi dared not imagine what wisdom would burst out in these hundreds of millions of population resources.
It is true that the average starting point is indeed lower than that of the aristocratic families, but the huge base is enough to create miracles. After all, the ratio of aristocratic families is too low. Even if a generation can cultivate dozens of them, facing a scale of hundreds of millions, the proportion of this class can occupy will decrease day by day.
The future is the future of the people after all. If you don’t want to return to the spiral of historical mistakes, then this is the only way to choose.
