Chapter 402 Don’t You See, Han Zhongjun
Through the window of the light curtain, Kong Ming and others had the opportunity to have a glimpse of another neighbor on this earth.
But after reading it, Jian Yong was rather uninterested:
"How are the histories of the East and the West so similar? We face climate change like a donkey."
Jian Yong's attitude made Kong Ming laugh:
"Is Shiyuan a fool?"
Jian donkey is a word used in Qin and Han Dynasties to curse people or to express self-pity. Its meaning is similar to that of lame and stupid donkey.
Pang Tong smiled and shook his head and responded:
"Faced with the climate change that has occurred over the past century, we may seem like a donkey, but I believe that we are more like a bird that knows how to prepare a house, or a dead fish that knows how to be careful when entering and exiting."
Jian Yong was thoughtful.
Fazheng nodded and said:
"From the Spring and Autumn Period to the present, our ancestors built water conservancy projects, cultivated and protected fertile fields, mined minerals and smelted iron, and felled trees to build houses. They were all measures to prepare for a rainy day."
Kong Ming agreed:
"Just like the canals that were built in the Sui Dynasty that ran through the north and the south, it might be that they saw the chaos between the north and the south in the Wei and Jin Dynasties, so they were prepared for a rainy day."
Such words have convinced Jian Yong, and he cupped his hands to show that he was taught.
After the discussion, which he didn't quite understand, Zhang Fei immediately stood up and said:
"What is this volcanic eruption?"
Everyone tried their best to imagine on the spot:
First there needs to be a mountain, and then the mountain should be filled with fire.
Then, with a bang, the mountain exploded?
Seeing Zhang Feifa vividly describing the imaginary scene, Jian Yong always felt that it was still difficult to imagine:
"Then why did this mountain collapse?"
Of course Zhang Fei didn't know, but he asked confidently:
"Then I dare to ask Xianhe, why did this earth dragon turn around?"
Jian Yong was at a loss for words for a while, but he always felt that it didn't make sense, so he could only frown and think slowly.
Zhang Fei was looking proudly over there, but Kong Ming on the side slowly frowned.
Yide's unintentional words suddenly reminded Kong Ming that his descendants also avoided talking about earthquakes, and now there is this volcanic eruption... Judging from the name alone, there is no doubt that it is a natural disaster, and most of it is a natural disaster caused by a mountain. It cannot be said that it is similar to an earthquake. .
Therefore, Kong Ming suddenly remembered something that he had ignored before:
Since we know that there is endless space outside the earth, what are the things and scenery inside the earth? Do you know about future generations?
Is it because future generations don’t talk about earthquakes because they have nothing to do with climate, or because there is no early warning?
Shaking his head, Kong Ming felt that Zhuang Zhou's words were indeed true. Life has limits, but knowledge has no limits.
…
"This Rome... is Byzantium?"
As the future patron of the Sasanian Persian royal family, Li Shimin was quite concerned about information related to this.
Therefore, after comparing regions and time, I finally tried to come to this conclusion with my brows furrowed.
Du Ruhui agreed. He still remembered some of the information he had written down relatively clearly:
"I remember that this great food dynasty was divided into the Umayyad dynasty and the Abbasid dynasty dressed in black and white."
Du Ruhui was not used to pronouncing these two pure transliterated names, so he continued:
"Both of these will be called the Arab Empire in later generations."
"This Rome is probably the same, just like the Antonine dynasty of Rome I mentioned last year, this Byzantium..."
Li Shimin knocked on his head and understood:
"Just like the Eastern and Western Han Dynasties."
It's just that the Eastern and Western Han Dynasties are rare in Chinese history, but the West seems to not care about it at all.
And thinking about the thirty tyrants who lived at the same time as the Wei and Jin Dynasties, could it be that the royal family changed thirty families?
Li Shimin was quite curious about the situation where his family was destroyed but his country was not destroyed, and he immediately decided:
"If the opening of the sea goes smoothly, I will definitely collect the history of the West, translate the original version, read the history, and understand the gains and losses."
Everyone in the Manna Hall nodded in unison, not to mention Your Majesty, they were also very curious:
After the West "deposes all religions and adopts Christian orthodoxy", what will the people be like?
With four emperors, what would be the situation of Rome's officials?
Among the people, the temple blessings of Christ and the magistrates of Rome, who listens to whom?
Who can give orders to two emperors who are administratively the same?
Moreover, as a genuine standard emperor, Li Shimin also had a special taste for the changes in Rome:
There seems to have been a powerful Senate in the Pre-Han Dynasty, but it was not mentioned at all later.
From the Senate to the shared rule of the Four Emperors, Rome's institutional attempts seemed to be much bolder than those of China.
It would be a pity not to use it as a reference!
Li Shimin was thinking about his own problems there, and Fang and Du whispered again:
"Is this massive volcanic eruption an unparalleled natural disaster? It can even change the climate."
Du Ruhui rubbed his wrist, looked at the few words about the Mediterranean Sea, and had a guess in his mind:
"I'm afraid it's a natural disaster unique to that place."
"Ban Dingyuan once said, if you don't enter the tiger's den, you won't get the tiger's cubs."
"The Mediterranean Sea has the convenience of an inland sea, but it also has unparalleled natural disasters."
This statement was all based on inference, but in the end Fang Xuanling nodded for the time being and suppressed the matter.
"But compared to this volcanic eruption."
Du Ruhui smiled and whispered:
"The Arabs, driven by the climate, are Rome's real enemies."
After all, no matter how severe the natural disaster is, it will eventually end one day, but it is different for a strong nation, and this is if you roughly know the history of this nation.
Fang Xuanling nodded, roughly said:
"This Arabia left its homeland, destroyed Sasanian Persia, defeated Rome, built a vast empire, blocked the key routes between the East and the West, and adopted the culture of the East and the West for its own use."
This is a thread roughly drawn from the simple words of the younger generation.
Fang Xuanling planned to sort out the complicated information on this light curtain into categories after completing the Jin Dynasty Book, otherwise it would be difficult to read.
And in the dimness, Fang Xuanling also had an idea:
"If I can read this Roman history and translate its meaning, I can call it my life's blessing..."
But then an idea popped up:
Will Rome write history like China?
Thinking about this completely different state of family destruction but country survival, Fang Xuanling was a little unsure:
Should... write it?
[Some people say that in the agricultural age, civilization is just a puppet manipulated by the climate.
This sentence is certainly not wrong, but it is also difficult to say that it is completely correct.
After all, the powerlessness of agricultural civilization in the face of climate change is well known to everyone, but our Chinese people have never been sitting idly by since ancient times, and Chinese history has always been a history of the struggle between man and nature.
Suiren made fire and Cangjie created characters, successfully separating the Chinese ancestors from the beasts.
Then, from ancient times to the present, the first emperor who unified China, the Han Wudi who forged the national integrity, and the Tang Taizong who opened the glorious era, step by step, forged the spiritual outlook of the ancient Chinese nation. 】
Everyone in the Ganlu Hall immediately focused their attention on one place.
Li Shimin, standing with his hands behind his back, had already laughed in his heart, but his face was still calm, his chin slightly raised, and he didn't say a word.
But Sun Simiao saw clearly that his majesty's hands were hidden in his sleeves and clenched tightly, and he looked very excited.
…
In the General's Mansion in Chang'an, Liu Bei also stood with his hands behind his back and his eyes were deep.
Ten years ago, he just wanted to establish a career in one place, five years ago he just wanted to resist Cao and revive Han, and now he wants...
Kong Ming and Pang Tong on the side looked at each other, and then smiled and looked at the lord.
【The history of China is like a brilliant galaxy. From childhood to adulthood, those familiar names have forged today's China step by step.
Like Cai Lun who invented paper and promoted culture, like Zu Chongzhi who spent his whole life studying mathematics.
Like Zhang Heng who started science, like Li Bai who engraved the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty.
Such names may take three days and three nights to finish. 】
When talking about these familiar names, the light curtain also played a resounding chant, which immediately captured the attention of the officials of the General's Mansion and Ganlu Palace in Han Chang'an.
In the warm room of Bianliang, Zhao Kuangyin and Zhao Guangyi also listened attentively. Zhao Pu's face moved slightly, and he simply pulled a piece of paper to copy down the resounding sound he heard.
At the same time, Kong Ming and Du Ruhui also pricked up their ears, and their hands did not stop moving, for fear of missing a word.
It was still a chorus of clear voices of young boys and girls full of power and vigor. These sounds were transmitted to Kong Ming's ears along the light curtain, and then flowed out neatly from the tip of the pen.
"Have you not seen Han Zhongjun, a young man who tied up the enemy and asked for a long rope."
"Have you not seen Ban Dingyuan, riding a light horse in a remote area, urging the battle clouds!"
"Song of Intellectual Youth Joining the Army" was published in the 11th volume of "Spirit of the Times" magazine in 1945, the 5th/6th issue of the special issue on intellectual youth joining the army, page 105. Author: Bai Lei.
There were several submitted military songs published at that time, but the one that is currently known to the public is the most complete.
