- Sriwijaya is a large country that has been inherited for five to six hundred years. Its area includes the Malay Peninsula, Sumatra Island, and part of Kalimantan Island. Although its capital, Bolin State, cannot be compared with big cities such as Suzhou and Hangzhou, it is definitely not as imagined. of barbarism and ignorance.
The gold and silver output of Srivijaya is not small, and people usually use gold and silver as currency for their transactions.
In terms of culture, Srivijaya has its own text.
The main belief of the people is Buddhism. There are many temples and pagodas in the city. Many Buddha statues are not gold-plated, but made entirely of gold. When every king ascends the throne, a life-size gold statue will be cast to replace him.
The palace is three miles in circumference, and it is well-built and large-scale. Most of the utensils used in the palace are gold, and they are usually engraved with inscriptions or patterns of flowers and birds.
It can be said that although the productivity of Srivijaya is not developed, it is definitely very rich. Just like the Mayans in South America, their technology is not developed, but they are full of gold.
Yang Yi has nothing to be polite about. After taking control of Bolin City, he immediately ordered the "collection" of gold, silver, copper and other metals. We don't burn or kill, we just collect some metals. This is very civilized, isn't it?
Of course, if you go against civilized people, then you are a barbarian, and you should be killed with one shot.
As for whether this will cause the people of Srivijaya to have a deep hatred for the Yang family army, don¡¯t worry too much about this. After collecting the metal, just tell them:
You are a barbaric country, your civilization is not good, your faith is not good, everything about you is not good.
We are the civilized people and we are correct, so we are strong. If you fall behind, you will be beaten if you fall behind. This is only natural.
You should not hate us, on the contrary. You must deeply reflect on yourselves, abandon your barbaric customs, abandon your crude history, and learn from us.
As long as you instill these in them, there will generally be no problem.
In later generations, China was repeatedly ravaged by Western powers, from military invasion to economic invasion to cultural invasion, which caused heavy disasters to China. But how many Chinese people have you seen hating the West?
On the contrary, most Chinese people admire everything about the West. Western democracy is democracy, Westerners are civilized people, Western culture is the mainstream culture, and people with fair skin and blue eyes are uncles. With this mentality I am afraid that the Chinese people account for more than 60%.
In turn, scholars who were regarded as the banners of Chinese cultural circles, including Lu Xun and Hu Shi, launched a passionate national criticism of Chinese culture.
In their writing. Chinese people are basically dirty and insensitive, just like the walking zombies. People like Kong Yiji have become the representative image of Chinese literati. Even Runtu, who had some spirituality when he was a child, turned into wood when he grew up. The history of China is a history of cannibalism. Chinese culture is inferior to Western culture.
In short, it doesn¡¯t matter whether Lu Xun and others originally wanted to ¡°awaken¡± the people. But they did comprehensively negate Chinese history and culture, and this negation was extremely thorough. In their writings, you can hardly find the highlights of Chinese history and culture.
And this kind of nationwide criticism has never stopped, generation after generation. In this passionate criticism, over time, China feels that its history is so bad and its culture is so pedantic, and it has turned to worship Western culture;
Later, people no longer knew about Tomb-Sweeping Day, but it was just the Dragon Boat Festival. In the West, Valentine's Day and Christmas were celebrated lively. If you are a star, you must have an English name. Otherwise, you cannot be an international star.
Whenever something goes wrong in the country, there will be a lot of criticism on the Internet, and the matter will be infinitely amplified. The more harsh the criticism, the more people will applaud it. If the government does not do this, it is not enough to prove that the Chinese people's evil roots are difficult to eradicate and cannot be cured.
On the other hand, if there are some good things in the West, there will be a chorus of praise and admiration. The citizens are so proud that they only wish they had white skin and blue eyes.
Why is this so? Is China¡¯s history and culture really terrible? Is it really necessary to deny it so completely and abandon it so completely?
The reason is very simple. Our national backbone has been interrupted by others. We have been crawling on the ground for more than a hundred years, and we can only look up at others. Our inferiority complex has been deeply rooted in our bones.
Lu Xun's generation was at the juncture of historical change, and perhaps it was right to launch nationwide criticism in order to wake up the Chinese people with the strongest voice. However, subsequent generations of self-criticism in the cultural circles inevitably made the Chinese people produce a A self-denying mentality, but this is a fact.
The splendor and glory of the Han and Tang Dynasties are far away, and if you mention that glorious history again, you will be said to be a person who reeks of corpses and is rotten. Because most people have accepted the Western set of ideas, look at everything with their eyes;
Westerners say that we yellow-skinned monkeys are barbaric and backward, so we should be beaten. We also think that it is natural for us to be beaten. In order to find the rationality of being beaten, we continue to dig out our own bad roots and deny our past glory and historical correctness. sex.
In a word, human nature is so mean. If you don't say good things to someone who hasn't beaten you, you won't hate someone who beats you down, but you will admire them.
What Yang Yi has to do now is to show his ability and beat Sanfoqi until he is in pain, and then let him accept his own thoughts, let him deny himself, and dig out his own bad roots.
All the valuable things in Bo Linbang City can be moved to all of them, who dare to resist, do not kill, all capture back to the Great Song for free labor.
Yang Yi wore a crescent sword hanging on his waist, dressed in black cross-collared Hanfu, with big sleeves fluttering and walked into the Srivijaya Palace. Although this palace is not majestic, it is quite exquisitely built and has South Asian characteristics. It also introduces Some Buddhist elements, such as the roofs, are not carved with dragons and phoenixes like in China, but some Buddha statues, and some Sanskrit scriptures can be seen on the pillars from time to time.
Yang Yi sat down on the king's chair in the center of the main hall and told Zuoyou: "Bring Pu Tuo and Pu Luo."
"Here!" the guard left in response, and soon brought two middle-aged men with him. One of them was in his forties, with a slender chin but a bulbous nose. His facial features looked very uncoordinated;
The other is nearly forty years old and thin. Long waist and short legs.
They are wrapped in mancloth and silk fabrics. Seeing Yang Yi sitting on the king's chair, the two of them looked at each other with complicated eyes. Silent.
"Can you speak Chinese?" Yang Yi asked Pu Tuo casually. Pu Tuo lowered his head and did not answer. Yang Yi continued: "If you can, this king chair will probably be yours."
"What do you mean?" Pu Tuo raised his head and asked in blunt Chinese.
Yang Yi said calmly: "I don't like you talking to me in this tone. You failed to face your situation. Your qualification to inherit the throne has been cancelled. Someone, take him down and put him in a water prison first. After Rong Disappointed."
"Here." The guards from both sides rushed up immediately and put shackles on Putuo. If he resisted at the slightest moment, they punched and kicked him, and his nose was beaten until blood flowed.
Seeing his elder brother being treated like this, Pu Luo no longer dared to stand and ran towards His Highness with a bang. Yang Yi repeated with satisfaction: "Can you speak Chinese?"
"I know a little bit." Pu Luo's voice trembled a little when he spoke.
"Srivijaya ended up today because your brother Po Ying brought it upon himself. He inherited the throne without being the eldest son, which is unreasonable in itself. In spite of our many warnings, we intend to annex Puluo Zhong and send troops to cruise in the strait. Intercept merchant ships from various countries. Any merchant who does not enter the Bolin State to trade will have his goods confiscated or, at worst, executed. This is a barbaric act. It is unseen and unheard of in all countries. It should be severely punished. As his brother, you know that he has committed a serious crime. If you make a mistake and don¡¯t stop it, you should be equally guilty!¡±
"No, no, no, these things you mentioned were all done by my third brother alone and have nothing to do with us. We tried to persuade him, but he put him under house arrest. These really have nothing to do with us."
In Pu Luo's anxiety, he kept talking in Chinese mixed with some Tibetan dialects. Yang Yi actually just wanted to see his attitude. As for what he said, it didn't matter, because he didn't have the right to speak. The hand is in, but in our hands, what we say is what is important.
Yang Yi slowly guided Pu Luo, letting him see clearly the shortcomings of the people of Srivijaya, and realize the rationality, inevitability and necessity of the beating of Srivijaya.
Let him understand that a Srivijaya that does not take beatings is not a good Srivijaya; a Sriwijaya that does not become a semi-colonial country is a Sriwijaya with no future; a Sriwijaya that is not servile and fawning is a Sriwijaya without a future
In short, we beat you and ravage you to wake you up and to better teach you our civilization. We are not here to invade, we are here to save you and educate you. You should thank us. , worship us, move closer to us, and be on par with us.
"How about you all wear gauze?"
"not good."
"That's right, that's right. Children can be taught. Wearing a mantle is an act of ignorance. Our Hanfu is so gorgeous."
"I will definitely order the people to wear Hanfu from now on."
"Can you use that Fanwen?"
"not good."
¡°That¡¯s right, that¡¯s right, there¡¯s still a way to save it. Using Tibetan language is extremely foolish. Look at me, China, who has created countless masterpieces and classics. How can other countries have such a splendid culture? You have to learn from it.¡±
?"I will definitely let the people switch to using Chinese characters in the future."
"This alone is not enough. You need to make your people deeply reflect on their own shortcomings. Look how filthy and insensitive you are. No wonder you are still living like barbarians after five or six hundred years of founding the country. If you don't completely abandon your past habits, It¡¯s always a dead end.¡±
"Yes, yes, I will make the people reflect deeply."
""
Hahaha, don¡¯t laugh, history has proven that this method is very effective and works for most ethnic groups, including China.
In ancient times, in a world dominated by China, being backward did not necessarily mean being beaten. The surrounding small countries were all behind China, but as long as they did not actively invade China, they would basically not be beaten. Everyone got along well with each other. This is the order of the East.
If the Western powers invaded China when China was strong, and China defeated the Western powers and still dominated the world, then we would definitely not think that the saying "If you fall behind, you will be beaten" is correct, we would still think that benevolence and righteousness are OK
"When we accept this sentence, we have accepted Western ideas.
There are no assumptions in history. There is only a thousand days to be a thief, and there is no thousand days to guard against thieves. People just choose to attack China when China is weak. At the same time, they instilled in us a theory similar to that of bandits: if you fall behind, you will be beaten.
So we thought that the previous standards of benevolence and righteousness were wrong, and instead agreed with the bandit principle of "if you fall behind, you will be beaten".
This sentence has also become a self-healing medicine for us. We feel that it is inevitable and natural to be beaten. Who makes us fall behind? It would be unreasonable for you not to be beaten.
Therefore, instead of hating those who beat us, Chinese people look for reasons within themselves, thinking that everything they have followed in the past is wrong.
The reason why Yang Yi came to Sri Lanka was also influenced by the thoughts brought by later generations. He also admitted this.
