Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    "In our Frankish state, after every king dies, the land will be divided equally among all the sons. That is, each son can get the distribution of the land, and then the country will be divided." Maupassant said helplessly.  After hearing this, Jing Wen suddenly felt very speechless.  This is indeed a serious attempt to commit suicide. I have never seen such an attempt to commit suicide.  Since ancient times, China has been afraid that the princes will be too powerful, so Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty implemented a grace order to equally divide the land of those princes to each child, so as to prevent the princes from being able to resist the central government.  But this Frank is so good that he actually took the initiative to divide the country equally among his children, so that everyone can own a part. Then wouldn't the country be divided?  In later generations, in order to maintain national unity, all countries in the world will try their best to hand over the unified land to one person instead of dividing it among countless people.  And if a powerful country divides it like this every time, then even a powerful country will be divided into small countries. Isn¡¯t this very speechless?  After a few generations, even a big and powerful country will be turned into a weak country by his own death-defying methods.  Even if they are all members of the same family, they may not cooperate, so this kind of equal sharing of territory is simply a suicide for a powerful country.  But Frank actually did this, which really left people speechless.  "Our king is actually aware of this, but what can we do? This is the custom of our Franks. If the inheritance is handed over to one person, there will be riots in his own family first." Maupassant also  Said with a sigh.  Of course Jingwen knew that. Wasn't it possible that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty's favor order was opposed by those princes?  But what can they do?  Because once this order of favor is implemented, the second sons of the princes and various bastards will also start to side with the emperor to compete for inheritance rights.  Originally, they had no inheritance rights.  But now that they have the opportunity to inherit, even if it is only a small part, they will be willing to do so.  So this kind of attack hits a person's Achilles' heel.  So those Frankish kings were aware of this problem.  But they have been caught up in the internal conflicts of the family, and they just can't stop.  So Frank is actually experiencing a split every time.  The reincarnation of unity, division again, and unity again.  And this kind of reincarnation is very tragic. It happens every few decades, which is much more intensive than the hundreds of years in China.  In fact, they are all kings of the same family, but their national habits have also caused this result, so it is very tragic.  "Maupassant, how do you think our Eastern China compares to your Franks?" Jing Wen asked.  "The East is much better than us. At least even if it experiences division, it can reunite and become a powerful country. But for us in the West, it will be difficult!" Maupassant said.  Of course Jing Wen knows that the idea of ??great unification in China has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Since Qin Shihuang unified China, the entire country has been deeply rooted in the idea of ??great unification.  Whenever the world is in chaos, those princes all take it as their duty to unify China.  If you don't want to unify China, you will be destroyed sooner or later.  Precisely because this idea of ??great unification is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, although China will be divided during troubled times, it will one day be unified. This can ensure that the country will not be divided.  But the West is different. Once the West is divided, it will be difficult to unify.  The West of this era.  In fact, property inheritance rights are divided equally, which makes their country easily divided.  This was actually the case in East and West Rome back then. Ancient Rome was divided into two parts: East and West.  The reason was actually that the emperor of ancient Rome wanted to divide the land between his two sons.  Once Rome was divided, it was never reunited until its demise.  While the Western Roman Empire has perished, the Eastern Roman Empire has not yet perished. According to history, they will perish in more than five hundred years.  But the West does not have any unified thinking. Once they are divided, it will be really difficult to unify.  This is caused by Western civilization. Frank may not be able to solve this problem at present, even many years later.  And if Jingwen¡¯s memory is correct, then even if Pepin usurped the country later, it would be in the hands of Pepin¡¯s descendant Louis.  And Louis has no intention of re-splitting again.  As a result, his three sons carried out a palace coup and ousted him.  Louis then became a bare emperor, and his sons split again after his death.  And the land after the division of these three sons.  That is what later became France and Germany.  There are also the earliest territories of the three Italian countries.  After that, Frank officially became history, and no one could successfully unify again.  "It's a big death! This is really a big death. A really big country is actually being killed.No more trouble!  "Jing Wen also sighed and said. "And Maupassant immediately said: "Sir, I hope to spread Eastern culture, so I think it can help us Frank."  Because the East pays attention to unity, which is completely different from us in the West.  I hope that the idea of ??unity in the East can be spread to our Franks, so that our Franks may not be divided again, and then we people will experience war again.  " Jing Wen saw that Maupassant actually had such an idea. The reason why he wanted to spread Chinese culture was because he hoped that Frank would not continue to be divided. After all, it is better to be a peace dog than a person in troubled times. This is not only true in the East, but also in the West.  The same is true. During the World War, weren't ordinary people also very miserable? So this is something that everyone understands. No one likes the division of the country, even Westerners.  But the so-called traditional national culture is a factor that promotes division. Therefore, Maupassant hopes to spread Chinese culture to the West so that the West will not continue to be divided. This will be beneficial to them. And Maupassant spreads Chinese culture!  It's because he loves his motherland that he does this. But if he knew Jing Wen's true intention of cultural export, he might not think so, but this does not prevent Jing Wen from using him.  To be continued)?¡­
