Several 'tofu cubes' that smeared the Mongolians made Zhao Bing happy, but after careful study, he found that he was trapped in a narrow conceit. Mr. Lu Xun, who he remembered, once said: "Chinese people have never dared to face life, so they have to hide and deceive, and thus they have also created literary and artistic conception of hiding and cheating..." "People must have a memory from now on, observe all directions and listen to all directions, eliminate all previous self-deception talks, tear off all the masks of self-deception, and exclude all the methods of self-deception..."

Now the scholars who came to Qiong have made everyone crazy, thinking that they are the orthodox world, but they forget that they have been invaded, massacred and enslaved by the so-called barbarians. Zhao Bing thought that improving national self-confidence was not a bad thing, but becoming an extreme nationalism ignores the other party's strength and strengths, that is nothing more than a waste of dementia. The blind arrogance towards extremes can only lead to self-destruction.

Whenever people mentioned Mongolia in their previous lives, Zhao Bing's first reaction was grasslands, horses, roasted whole sheep, and desertification and snow disasters. When talking about Mongolians, they were rough, aggressive and drunk, and had the simplicity and hospitality unique to the nation. Then they remembered that Genghis Khan had appeared among the Mongolians, and they couldn't remember anything else.

However, what is puzzling is that after entering modern times, the Mongols still lived a nomadic life, feeding subsidies every year, and needing relief if there is a slight disaster. In theory, the geographical and environmental resources that the Mongols live in are very rich, and the natural mobility of the Mongols' lives also determines that the Mongols' horizons should not be narrow. Furthermore, they are one of the top ten ethnic minority populations, and they should not lack talent. Even though some people later split out to establish a country, they failed to reappear the glory of their ancestors, and instead gradually became vassals of other ethnic groups, and their lives were extremely difficult.

There is no doubt that in the modern world, the Mongols are one of the very poor nations. Faced with the rapid development of science and technology, increasingly fierce competition, and increasingly globalized economy, the Mongols have also shown extremely serious dullness and lack of progress. It is really unimaginable that the development of the future world will be in the future. Will there be any Mongols in this huge earth?!

Zhao Bing also had close contact with the Mongolians during his study and work, and found that they were actually very conceited and thought they were arrogant heroes. Therefore, under the cover of the Mongolians' honest and simple appearance, the jealousy, resentment and suspicion between each other are also very extreme, not less than other ethnic groups, or even more serious. This emotion seriously reduces the loyalty between people, and leads to a lack of cooperation, hindering the unity and integration of Mongolian society. Of course, this will also lead to a lack of tolerance, especially the tolerance of losers. Whoever fails, his friends will leave him immediately.

In fact, every Mongolian knew exactly what the situation of the Mongols was and what consequences would be if this state continued. However, Genghis Khan's descendants had not inherited any fine traditions from their ancestors except for the passion at the table. And the world only knew that after the short-term, stormy glory and glory of the Mongols fell into a long silence, just like what Ah Q often said - my ancestors were also rich!

So what is the reason and what fundamental factors restrict the progress and development of the Mongols? At present, Zhao Bing can cross the long river of history to witness the process of Mongolia's decline from the most glorious moment, and can also reflect on why the Han people were defeated by the barbarians, find ways to break the enemy from another perspective, and end their turbulent life as soon as possible, and enjoy the beauty of being an emperor.

When Zhao Bing thought about the days he came to this world, it was not difficult to find that even when he achieved "great unification", there were still frequent wars on the Mongolian Plateau and they were still killing each other. The price he was conquered and the price he paid was tortured or enslaved. The cruelty was absolutely outrageous. If he had a brief peace, it was because a stronger tribe had conquered other weak tribes.

In fact, the history of the mutual conquest of Mongolian tribes lasted longer. After Temujin's father was killed by the Tatars, his tribe members left him and fled to other tribes. After his defeat in the battle with Wang Han, most of the retainers who followed him on his way to escape were not Mongolians, but people from other nations. This situation was not spared even in the era after Genghis Khan, and Kublai Khan still relied on the Semu people and the Han people to serve as guns for him.

This reminded Zhao Bing of the Mongols in their previous lives that they thought they were a heroic character. It seemed that they were inherited from it. Unity and cooperation are always important points that the Mongolians lack. In this case, as long as the scheming alien rulers adopt a plan of discord, publicly praise or reward a tribe of the Mongolians, or give a certain tribe a special right, it is easy to sow seeds of discord among the Mongolians, provoke disputes within the Mongolians, make them fight intra-fight and attack each other, thereby achieving the goal of weakening the Mongolian nation and becoming the ruled nation.

Another consequence of pretentious personal heroism is that it is easy to be driven by blind passion. It plans to do a big thing, but it rarely carefully evaluates its risks and consequences in advance. The second attack on Japan and attacking Champa, Annan may have to kill and expel the Yuan Dynasty envoys, which triggered Kublai Khan's "passion" element. They were blindly sent to the army without careful arrangements. Maybe he thought that his mother-in-law was a manifestation of timidity, and if it happened, he would be very proud and proud. He thought that everything in the world was just like this, and the vanity of personal heroism would be greatly satisfied at the same time!

As far as Zhao Bing knows, Kublai Khan was preparing to organize a third expedition to pacify Japan, but it was not implemented in the Yuan Dynasty. It can be seen that the Mongolians lack the courage to admit their shortcomings. Self-esteem and self-confidence are very fragile in a sense. After failure, they are prone to falling into inferiority and self-doubt and are easily depressed. The two defeats, coupled with the death of Queen Chabi, made Kublai Khan depressed. However, the inherent character of the Mongols made him unable to scapegoat others, so he could only drink and get relieved from his drunkenness.

In previous lives, people often used the cold weather and lonely nomadic life to defend the Mongols' appetite for alcohol. However, Zhao Bing thought that the ambitious Kublai Khan became a drunk, which was the manifestation of his nation's aggressive character. Since they thought they were heroes, they would definitely not be willing to live an ordinary life and be mediocre like a mediocre person, which made him pursue extraordinaryness. However, when reality gave him a blow, he would like to love the love of wine or drugs like those men and women who broke up and frustrated literati.

Kublai Khan thought that the competition at the table also provided a fighting atmosphere to a certain extent, which could fully reflect an alternative heroic spirit to create impulse from the ordinary. Everyone knows the harm of alcoholism. It goes without saying that drunkenness is full of morality, and it will hurt itself, and fatty liver is light. And the collective appetite for alcoholism in the entire nation is indeed a tragic and terrible thing. This bad habit will definitely have a profound impact on the descendants and future of the Mongols.

Genghis Khan also realized the dangers of alcoholism. He once issued an edict saying: Drunk people become blind, he can't see anything, he becomes deaf, when he calls him, he can't hear, he becomes mute, and when someone talks to him, he cannot answer. When he gets drunk, he is like a dying person, he can't sit up straight, he can't do it, he is like a numb, dazed and damaged person... The king cannot preside over major events, proclaims admonitions and important customary laws; soldiers who are addicted to alcohol cannot control the ten-man team, a hundred-man team or a thousand-man team; guards who are addicted to alcohol will be severely punished. But nature is difficult to change, what's the use of saying it...

After Zhao Bing came to this world, he was often "advised" by several masters, criticizing him for being impulsive, utilitarian, practical, and skillful in doing things, and often making decisions based on momentary passion. In addition, he did not pay attention to etiquette, did not listen to the saints' words, did not follow the saints' teachings, and was arbitrary, brave and happy to kill. He handled government affairs simply and roughly, sometimes based on personal likes and dislikes, regardless of consequences, etc. That meaning he was incompatible with the current society, and was no different from the barbarians. Of course, this was not said.

Whenever he was scolded, although Zhao Bing hummed and agreed, he knew that he was perfunctory and could not accept it all. However, he did not think much about himself and the present, but thought it was a conflict of ideas between modern Chinese culture and ancient culture. You should know that he also grew up under the red flag, wore a red scarf, was a three-good student, studied five lectures, four beauties, and three loves. He once helped the old lady cross the road, and even picked up a penny and handed over to the police uncle. A good person praised by the teacher is also a traditional Chinese virtue, so why is it useless to them?

Speaking of him as pragmatism, Zhao Bing remembers that the motto of the university he went to is to apply what he learned and convert the knowledge he learned into social value to the greatest extent; after work, the boss also wants them to be pragmatic and not to be innocent. And without their own practicality, and adopt different countermeasures based on the development of the situation, can we have today's Qiongzhou? If we build the so-called Datong society according to them, we are afraid that we will be forced to jump into the sea before we get involved.

When he said he was utilitarian, he simply said that he could get money. Zhao Bing knew that as long as the ideal communist society was not realized, the Song Dynasty, which was still in a feudal society, was also unable to move forward. He was not utilitarian, and he would eat, drink, and use what he used to fight against the people who followed him. If he didn't try to get money, everyone would probably have to live in a straw hut and eat white rice and eat dried fish!

Listen to the words of the saints, in modern society, they will starve to death and be trampled by others forever. The workplace is playing with the rules of the jungle and the wolf nature is emphasized. If anyone abides by those things and acts completely according to ethics, he will be a otakus for life. Even if his wife can't make it, he will have to eat the minimum living allowance and use instant noodles all day long.

As for being vigilant, it is a helpless move. Many times, no one can trust you except your parents. The teacher sees you as a wallet and treats you as the object of making money. The boss sees you as a machine and wants to power you up and let you work for 24 hours. Friends often regard you as a tool that can be used, and once you lose the available value, they will no longer know you. The colleagues you get along with every day are simply your enemies. Not only should you be careful of your report, but you should also be careful of stealing your job one day. Even if you want to believe in a tutor and find a spiritual support, you will be deceived and lose everything. In such an environment, do you dare to be vigilant from time to time?

"Oh, it is said that the times create heroes, and this environment will also change people's personality!" Zhao Bing reflected on his two lives of experience and couldn't help but sigh, and suddenly understood why the Mongolians became like this.

The grassland belt in the hinterland of Eurasia where the Mongols lived was not a land suitable for cultivation. The geographical environment determined that the lifestyle of the Mongols in history must be the so-called "living by water and grass". However, the nomadic economy is a very single economy, and many necessities in life cannot be obtained from livestock. There are two ways to obtain these things, one is trade and the other is plunder.

In ancient times, the method of trade was very fragile. It was affected by too many factors such as climate, transportation, state, and ethnic relations, so it was not as easy and convenient as plundering. Therefore, for the ancestors of the Mongols, plundering through war was also an important method of production. In other words, it was not that the Mongols were born barbaric, but they were only forced to do so. Kublai Khan said it very incisively, roughly speaking, which means that when our dynasty was established, he never garrisoned the city and plundered the land, but just to obtain useful things.

It can be said that the constraints of the geographical environment and the nomadic lifestyle have gradually cultivated the Mongols' martial spirit through long history, thus giving the Mongols a brave, tenacious, active and extensive spiritual temperament. However, everything has its advantages and disadvantages. This martial spirit also brings many negative factors to the Mongolian character:

He handles things in a simplistic way, impulsive way, and does not consider the consequences, and believes that passion can solve everything. He hates red tape and complex rational thinking; he has low cultural education, but he looks down on cultural people; he is reckless, generous, irritable, not care about the details, and likes to go straight; he lacks rationality, lacks calm analytical ability and insight, so he becomes mediocre and slow.

The Mongols hardly liked any metaphysical thoughts, and there was no practical function on the surface. The philosophy deep in the heart of the Mongols was unwritten pragmatism. Only ideas and skills that were useful to real life would be valued. Therefore, the early Mongols would definitely include various craftsmen and craftsmen who were not massacred and taken away after each capture of a city.
