Chapter 872: Confucianism's Educational Reform
Fighting... no, perhaps it would be more appropriate to call it killing. After an hour, the battle was basically over.
This group of diehards were specially selected by Japan and are even more diehard than those in Shenxiang.
However, no matter how tough they were, they were no match for swords and were eventually killed by Fei Xiong.
"Thank you General Hua Xiong for your help!" Zhuge Liang thanked Hua Xiong politely. If Hua Xiong hadn't brought Feixiong with him, many of their men would have died.
"The general asked me to tell you to go back and command the battlefield and end the battle quickly! The prisoners will be killed on May 1st, and you will be left to deal with the rest." Hua Xiong looked at Zhuge Liang, then threw the order given to him by Guo Hao to Zhuge Liang.
After Zhuge Liang took it, he checked and found that it was indeed from Guo Hao's hand. He bowed silently and then led his troops back to their original position.
In fact, it was almost over before, especially after Lu Bu led the trap formation to directly destroy the teleportation gate, the battlefield had entered the cleanup stage.
The most prominent issue is that of prisoners of war, which is not too many, but not too few either.
If we were in the country, of course we would focus on appeasement. After all, broken bones are connected to the tendons, and maybe they can be converted into our own soldiers.
But in Japan, Guo Hao did not have this idea. He originally wanted to kill them all, but the domestic construction required a large amount of labor.
It is difficult to leave one's hometown. The conscription itself has already taken away a group of young and strong people who were transferred to other places to make a living, and the remaining local areas also need labor for construction.
Developing the northern border, developing the southern border, and developing the western regions all require a large amount of labor. Especially after the soldiers have retired from their jobs, they can be asked to make guest appearances before the battle, but they cannot be asked to make guest appearances all the time.
Today, this group of screened and strong labor force is of great commercial value.
He gave up the idea of massacre and instead enslaved all the prisoners of war, and then planned to send these people to the northern border for large-scale construction.
However, the authority had to be established. First, all the grassroots officers were withdrawn, and then the grassroots soldiers were 1st, that is, one out of every five people was killed at random, and the rest were reorganized and transported in batches to places in the country that needed development and construction.
Those who behaved well could be considered for civilian status, but even if the Han Dynasty did not deliberately withhold it, it was unknown how many would survive.
After all, they are all slaves. If the managers do not allow them to work a full sixteen hours a day, it can only be said that there is a problem with the local management and they need to be retrained.
"We originally planned to deploy Tiangong-1 in the war, but we didn't expect it to become a logistics base. Now we have to use it to transport experimental materials."
Guo Hao covered his face and watched the Sky Garden drive away.
The name "Sky Gardens" certainly had no market in the Han Dynasty and was rejected long ago. Now the official full name of this thing is Tiangong-1. Originally, this time the Mohist school wanted to find some problems in actual combat and make modifications.
After all, everything was just talk before, and there was no actual combat exercise, so it is hard to say how practical it is.
Moreover, Tiangong-1, which can theoretically carry 200,000 people without any impact, has not yet been tried with a full complement of people. All of these require further attempts and the collection of experimental data for modification.
However, after the chaos between Zhou Yu, Zheng He and Cecilion, the Mohists found new ways to improve.
Originally, they were carrying out localized modifications based on the blueprints. Their goal was mass production rather than creating a spectacle. The reason they made this thing big and clumsy was because they were doing scientific research.
In fact, the Mohist School has already begun to produce mechas and hovercrafts. The Heaven and Earth Essence Reactor, officially known as the Immortal Stone, is divided into models according to the different objects it is used for.
Theoretically, as long as the vital energy of heaven and earth is endless, there will definitely be no reason for lack of power.
Although the theory is solid, there are still a lot of bug problems. The only mature technology that can be implemented now is the suspension technology. The only drawback is that it cannot be used under clouds.
Originally, he had given up the idea of bringing the Tiangong series into the battlefield, but after seeing the self-circulating system of Zhou Yu and others, he had the idea again and was still determined to make this series of things into war weapons.
However, the Mohist School did not understand the self-circulation thing for a while, so the plan of the Tiangong series to participate in the battle failed again. But it was not a wasted trip, after all, they brought tens of thousands of slaves back.
By then, they could use these slaves to do some new research. For example, the human body refining and weapon spirit manufacturing proposed by the Yin-Yang School were very much to the Mohist's liking, so it was just right for them to bring a batch of experimental materials back to test the waters.
In the Han Dynasty, they could only use death row prisoners, and they were always in a hurry. This time, they finally got such a large amount of experimental materials, and they must conduct a large number of experiments.
As the saying goes, foreign barbarians are not considered human beings. These Japanese soldiers are used as experiments and they will not be criticized by any side.
Even those who accused them of using fermented bean curd from death row prisoners would never nitpick on this aspect. But if they use barbarian slaves for experiments and someone gossips about it, then don't blame them for being rude.
The Mohists advocated universal love and non-aggression, but they were definitely not pushovers. When they were at their most ruthless, they became a prominent school of thought along with Confucianism.
Guo Hao was really worried, so he transferred Feixiong to Tiangong-1. On the one hand, it was for safety, and on the other hand, with Feixiong controlling gravity, the speed of Tiangong-1 could be much faster.
It takes about a day to fly back to the test base in northern Xinjiang.
At this point, Japan fell completely under the control of the Han Empire, or in other words, under the control of the puppet Himiko regime.
But as we all know, things are one thing during the war, but after the war, it's time to settle accounts and turn against each other.
Under the instructions of the Han Dynasty, all the families or forces that had previously supported Oda Nobunaga were wiped out.
The Han Dynasty was so familiar with this approach that there was nothing wrong with using barbarians to rule the barbarians.
All the men were reduced to slavery and sent to work in construction, and all the women were sent to the Jiaofangsi. If there were willing soldiers, they could pay money to redeem them and take them home. This could be considered a means of distributing spoils of war .
Wars have always been fought for the sake of interests and politics. After the war, the Han Dynasty, as the winner, naturally had the right to take all.
The soldiers who were the greatest contributors naturally enjoyed first-class power. They not only had military merits and military pay, but also had the first power in distributing the spoils of war.
For example, for these girls in the Jiaofangsi, ordinary people might need a hundred taels to redeem them, but for these soldiers and veterans, it only takes ten taels to redeem them after going through the formalities. Anyway, welfare is what Guo Hao and Chen Xi value most.
There is a famous saying that goes, ZQ comes out of the Q pole.
As long as we hold the military power firmly, other problems will not be a problem. If we can't fight, then just start a war. In this age of militarism, a strong army can solve 99% of the problems.
By the way, after conquering Japan, they decisively adopted the same hierarchical system as Goryeo.
Simply classify the Japanese and Koreans as second-class people, and then encourage Han men to marry women from these areas. After marriage, they will leave their second-class hometowns, and within two or three generations, Japan and Korea will become history.
However, the Han Dynasty did not block all roads, and left a way out for these second-class people, which was to join the army. As long as they had military merits, they could escape from slavery and second-class status and become true citizens of the Han Dynasty.
This set was not created by Chen Xi and Guo Hao, but was jointly created by those serious scholars.
For these great scholars, this was a great achievement in education. Without even Chen Xi's urging, they spontaneously gathered together and began to work out detailed rules and regulations.
Han Confucianists, especially the great Confucianists in the current Han Empire, are basically the true descendants of Confucianism. They are completely different from those people in later generations who are itchy scalps because the water is too cold.
It is normal for them to absorb and educate the barbarians.
In fact, strictly speaking, today's Confucianism still follows Dong Zhongshu's idea of abolishing all schools of thought and respecting Confucianism alone, but the core content has been slightly changed to become inclusive and Confucianism-based.
There was no other way. Guo Hao and Chen Xi were determined to promote the policy of allowing a hundred schools of thought to contend. These great scholars had no choice but to change direction from exclusion and suppression to healthy competition.
Moreover, the leading Confucian scholars in this area also changed from Kong Rong and others to Lu Zhi and Cai Yong.
There is no way. Great scholars are also human beings, and they have to bow their heads before the rising empire.
There is no need to talk about Cai Yong. He had a prime minister as his son-in-law, which made him one of the most powerful and aristocratic class in the world. The royal relatives even became the second most powerful and aristocratic class.
Many people would rather offend Liu Yu and other royal relatives than offend Chen Xi.
As for Lu Zhi, needless to say, after being infused with internal energy, he experienced a second spring in life.
Strictly speaking, Lu Zhi's strength was not weak. He was a true general and a prime minister.
When the three heroes of the late Han Dynasty fought against the Yellow Turbans, Zhu Jun was defeated after siege, Huangfu Song won after a stalemate, and only Lu Zhi won battle after battle. If it weren't for the trouble made by the eunuch Zuo Feng, there would have been no need for all the trouble that followed, and the Yellow Turbans could have ended some time earlier.
Strictly speaking, Lu Zhi was not inferior to Huangfu Song before his awakening. The reason why he did not enter the Temple of Martial Arts was because he entered the Temple of Sages and Confucian Scholars.
"In the 21st year of the Zhenguan reign, Emperor Taizong of Tang ordered 22 ancient sages and scholars to be honored with Confucius, including Lu Zhi."
In addition, since disciples such as Liu Bei and Gongsun Zan were doing well, Lu Zhi's status rose further, and he successfully took over the position of the head of Confucianism.
Originally, this identity was occupied by Kong Rong for many years, as the identity of being a descendant of the Kong family was so popular.
But it's okay normally. But in this era when various schools of thought emerge, Kong Rong's ability is not good enough. To put it nicely, he is a refined scholar, to put it bluntly, he is just a keyboard warrior.
Kong Rong would not lose in a competition of classics, but if you get into the level of a hundred schools of thought, Kong Rong's ability was not enough, so Kong Rong was smart enough to give up his position to Lu Zhi.
There was no way out. The opponents were simply too tough. Just to name a few, Kong Rong couldn't defeat any of them.
As for military strategists, there were three great men from the Temple of Martial Arts in the Weiyang Palace alone, and there were also a series of descendants of military strategists such as Huangfu Song and so on.
As for medical experts, there is no need to say much about the value of Hua Tuo and Zhang Zhongjing. Recently, I heard that two more named Li Shizhen and Sun Simiao have come. Each of them is extremely powerful. I heard that they are now starting to study some kind of genetic modification surgery, which can directly turn ordinary people into little supermen through surgery.
The Legalists, such as Man Chong, Di Renjie, and Bao Zheng, were always thinking about promoting the rule of law and were considered one of their biggest enemies.
The Taoists, Zhang Jue, Nanhua, and Zhang Lu, each one is more evil than the other, have already started playing with the technique of summoning evil gods, and now their main focus is on developing some kind of secret technique.
Farmers are improving grain planting and promoting new grain varieties. I heard that they are also secretly developing some kind of crops made from the essence of heaven and earth. If they really come up with it, everyone will have to retreat first.
As for the Mohists, when Tiangong-1 flew over their heads, they realized that this was a challenge from the Mohists to their Confucianism. If they had really immersed themselves in the past, their Confucianism might have really become second-rate.
How could Confucians accept such a thing? It's just a competition, so a dozen great Confucians first urgently improved their physical fitness, with each of them cultivating their internal energy to above the level of Gang. Then they continued with improving the six arts of a gentleman to ensure the Confucians' combat effectiveness.
Then a set of ethical constraints were urgently published, and preaching was directly developed into a wave of psychotherapy.
They were respectively benchmarked against the Legalists and the Medical School. It was impossible to stop them, so they just absorbed and integrated them all and snatched things directly from their mouths.
That’s right, Confucianism is about suppressing all the various schools of thought at the same time, well...including the original Confucianism.
The style of the painting later became bizarre. Under the guidance of an unknown scholar, a second set of quotations was developed for the Analects, commonly known as "lunyu".
Finally, there is Lu Zhi, the head of the sect, who is researching and developing the ability to distort reality through will.
His talent is to transform words into blessings or combat power. Now he has begun to study how to use words to promote will and distort reality.
This set of ideas is entirely designed to deal with Mohism. In the eyes of Confucianism, Mohism is the biggest enemy. The theories of other schools of thought have limited influence on them, just like novelists who seem to be very successful but are actually in a difficult situation. After a few generations, they may retire from the circle.
Medical experts, military strategists, Taoists, etc. can all be used for absorption and merger.
But the only exception is the Mohist school, whose ideas are fundamentally in conflict with those of Confucianism, and they are real and powerful enemies.
You Mohists push the limits of physics to play with mechanical ascension, while we Confucians directly push the limits of will to play with spiritual energy.
When the time comes, I will suppress your thousands of mechas with just one word. I want to see what you Mohists can use to fight against us Confucians.
Under this healthy competition, the Han Dynasty not only achieved remarkable results in foreign wars, but also experienced explosive technological updates internally.
Even Liu Ying, during his long period of eating, drinking and having fun, began to vigorously develop the catering and entertainment industries, and for this reason, the novelist directly climbed up to her thigh and began to develop vigorously.
There are many novels based on the military generals of the Han Dynasty. Especially after a little artistic processing, almost everyone likes this style.
