Good will be rewarded with good and evil will be rewarded with evil. It is not that the time has not come. The Mongolians did not change their traditions in a century of war, but instead strengthened the descendants of legacy. Zhao Bing rarely drank with the Mongolians in his previous life. One was that he knew that he could not bear to drink, and the other was that he could not bear to make trouble after drinking. After drinking a few drinks, they were "invincible" and their cruel and irritable nature would explode to a certain extent. His unique rudeness and freedom and indulgence made it difficult for ordinary people to accept, and they could no longer listen to different opinions.

The indulgence of the Mongols in history also provided a reason for hating the Mongols to the descendants of a large number of nations. Although the mainstream values ​​in the contemporary world are equality and tolerance, many people still remember this hatred for centuries. This is also the case that even in the globalized modern world, the Mongols cannot gain the respect of the world and are increasingly isolated.

They could only explain impulse after drinking, but Zhao Bing thought that this word could be fundamentally equal to passion, but it showed two sides. Impulse can be the source of creativity to a certain extent, and the excellence and richness of folk stories, poems, and songs passed down from Mongolia are proof of this creativity that is contained in impulse. People living in such an atmosphere may become the most respectable and outstanding figures; on the contrary, the existence of this passion may also become abominable and fearful destroyers, driving the Mongols to carry out large-scale conquests and massacres.

When the Mongolian army followed Genghis Khan on horseback, waving his sabre to fight and kill, sowing the seeds of the Mongolians everywhere, and experiencing the pleasure brought by impulse and cruelty, they never thought that after the so-called Daluwachi left behind after the attack, these Mongolian descendants would have to bear the revenge and oppression of others, and the former conquered people would repay them ten times or a hundred times.

In addition, Zhao Bing discovered that the loyalty of the Mongols comes from extreme personality cults and blindly following the rulers and successful people. Whether in life or work, you can never convince the Mongols to do something that is beneficial to everyone through reason. Although your idea is wonderful and feasible, the Mongols are very cold to your preaching. If you think you are lacking infectious, you will try to convince them further. You will soon find that the Mongols can never convince them through reason. The final result is that the Mongols have alienated you, making you feel that you have offended them in some ways.

But in fact, this is not your fault, but because there is a conventional hierarchical relationship among the Mongolians. Among them, there are always leaders and authoritative figures due to the trust relationship between individuals. These people are either noble from a family, rich in wealth, or simply able to fight. If you cannot find these relationships, you cannot find these top figures and convince them to help advance your plan, and you can't do anything. They only believe in "authority", even if they may bring them into the ditch.

The current Mongolian ruling class also handed over almost all the right to judge and grasp the situation to authoritative figures they trust. From the early Yelu Chucai to the current Ahama and Kublai Khan all obeyed the rules. This also led to the Mongolians lacking the ability to understand themselves and the opportunity to reflect on themselves, making them not good at and unable to make decisions about their future.

Whether it is scholars or Semu who are valued, they contribute their passion and efforts to the leaders without reservation, but they are never sure where the authoritative figures they trust will bring them, and they do not know what the ultimate goal is and what level they can satisfy the king. However, they will definitely make mistakes in doing things, which will lead to attacks from political enemies and lead to failure. But they are often the ones who bear this consequence at this time...

Zhao Bing also likes to ask experts if you have something to do, and there is no need to say anything about technical issues. In government affairs, he relies on Ying Jieyan and Liu Fu; in military affairs, he trusts Zhao Mengjin, Liu Zhu and Jiang Feng, which can be said to be well-known in the court. However, he did not let them serve as prime ministers, nor did he grant totalitarianism. Instead, he appointed Lu Xiufu, who had disagree with his views, as prime minister, and Zhang Shijie, who strongly opposed his ascension to the throne, as Privy Councilor, but did not replace them. This unexpected surprise was beyond human surprise.

However, Zhao Bing knew that in addition to the need to stabilize the court, he also knew that even if only three people participated in the view of the same matter, they would be divided into three opinions, left, middle and right. This is not only due to different perspectives on the problem, but also due to human nature. He knew how good he was in governing, and he could not escape this responsibility, so he had to listen to opinions from multiple aspects, even if it was an opposition voice, so he could not avoid the mistakes in his governance.

If you promote the person you trust to a high position, someone will think that Your Majesty only trusts his confidants, and the meaning they convey is the holy will, and no one will give an opinion; furthermore, Zhao Bing believes that people's butts often determine the head. Who can guarantee that their position as the most powerful minister will not attack dissidents and eliminate dissidents? This is inevitable that there is only one voice in the court, which is not conducive to his own administration of the government.

On the contrary, even if someone has opinions about his or her policies or even strongly opposes it, Zhao Bing thinks it is not a bad thing, which means there may be opinions that need improvement. Of course, he or she can also look at different opinions with the mentality of correcting them if there is something or not. If it is useful, he or she can explain and discuss them if it is useless, and he or she can ignore those who are complaining without illness, thereby reducing the chance of making mistakes. Therefore, there is still a difference between his or her appointing experts and Kublai Khan's belief in authority.

In addition, Zhao Bing thought that as a "young man", he was inevitable to act impulse, and even did something extraordinary. It was understandable that he would even do something out of order. In the Battle of Qizhou and Ocean, the situation was so dangerous. If he didn't stand up and lead the army to intercept him, he might not have the current situation. If it weren't for the impulse to board the epidemic ship to save Ni Liang, who would have believed that he was a person who values ​​love and righteousness and thus loyal to him!

Of course, Ying Jieyan often criticized Zhao Bing for being too impulsive about military reform and the establishment of a new army, and he rashly introduced the plan without discussing the ministers. But he did not agree, and he still knew how to think twice before he could do it. Although these plans were newly released, they were not written so much in a slap in their heads. When fighting Guangzhou and Quanzhou seemed impulsive and extremely risky, he also considered it carefully. If he had not robbed so much stuff and money in the two cities, where did Qiongzhou get the development funds, and how to solve the embarrassment of the emptiness of the treasury and financial difficulties in the treasury, and overcome the various difficulties after moving to Qiong.

Some people criticized Zhao Bing for being bloody at a young age, beheaded thousands of surrendered officials in Quanzhou, and slaughtered all the Pu family for personal grudges. But he knew best that those royal relatives had no relationship with him, but he still wanted to kill them, in fact, to show his attitude. You must know that Pu Shougeng killed thousands of royal relatives. If he didn't even give up one, it would inevitably make people think that he was weak and incompetent, and he would not even avenge his family grudges, so that he would not talk about national hatred. The killing of those surrendered officials was also to shock the unstable elements in the court and the army, so that they knew that this would be the end of being dared to betray him.

At that time, some people said that killing prisoners was ominous and that it was a loss of the benevolence and righteousness of the king, but more people said that they killed well and were happy. Therefore, Zhao Bing could not humbly accept his reputation as bloodthirsty, and that he had a purpose, not a rash act, and was definitely not a bloodthirsty nature of the Mongols who slaughtered for massacre. Not to mention that the devil who was impulsive to kill all the people in the world, and wanted to turn the whole country into a ranch, or for personal grudges, he could slaughter all the people in the capital of Xixia...

After reflecting for a long time, Zhao Bing suddenly realized that his personality was a bit similar to that of the Mongols. He and the Mongols also believed in the jungle law of the survival of the weak, advocated arousing revenge, believed that impulse was the driving force for creating a new world, and had a pure heart but a devil was hidden in it, etc., but in the end, two completely different melons were born on a vine.

Zhao Bing was troubled by this problem for a long time and felt that there was no taste when he ate until he had not thought it thoroughly. But when he touched the Analects of Confucius on his pillow, he suddenly understood that it was culture. Of course, he did not refer to cultural knowledge in a narrow sense, but culture in a broad sense, which refers to the history, geography, customs, traditional customs, lifestyles, literature and art, behavioral norms, thinking modes, values, etc. of a country or nation that is condensed in matter and wandered outside matter, and can be inherited. It is a kind of inherited ideology that is generally recognized by human communication.

Zhao Bing did not take the book "The Analects of Confucius" seriously before, and he was even a little disgusted in his heart, and often used the loopholes to make fun of and attack the scholars. But it was in this kind of resistance that he studied it more deeply with a critical attitude. Of course, his original purpose was to store "ammunition". But in this process, he found that it was not all dross, and some things were still affecting the thoughts and behaviors of the Chinese people until modern times.

Zhao Bing lived in his previous life as an era when technology was extremely developed and Chinese and Western cultures blended with each other. People's thoughts were unprecedentedly active, and they dared to challenge authority, question traditions, and tried to get rid of the constraints. But at this moment, he could only smile bitterly. Cultural traditions had long penetrated into all aspects of life, penetrated into the bone marrow, guiding his words and deeds. He realized that the ideas that enable a society to maintain long-term stability and development are precisely those theories that are superficially useless.

The development of the West after the Renaissance was precisely based on the resurrection of classical thoughts of ancient Greece and Rome. Lenin once clearly expressed similar thoughts. He believed that if a nation wants to move forward, it cannot leave rational thinking for a moment. These theories stand behind human thinking, and through imagination and hypothesis, they directly stimulate the birth of new methods and new skills. This cognition is exactly what the Mongols lack.

Since the Genghis Khan era, the Mongols have never paid attention to education. Perhaps the Mongols at that time believed that they were born rulers. As long as Kong Wu was powerful, they could achieve the world. There was no need to pay attention to the weak stingy literature. However, hundreds of years have passed, and the development of history has proved that the Mongolians' martial arts and light literature have brought endless harm to their descendants.

It is true that the establishment of the Yuan Dynasty broke the artificial cultural shielding phenomenon that had occurred in history before. The reality of Chinese cultural diversity was widely recognized, and the diverse and integrated pattern became a fact in a unified environment. However, the source of the Mongolian ethical concept is mainly shamanism and Tibetan Buddhism. One of the main characteristics of shamanism is ancestor worship. As an empiricist learning method, generations of Mongolians have learned the norms of being a human being from the ways and methods of ancestors dealing with interpersonal and social problems.

However, everything has two sides, positive and negative. All the adverse effects these two concepts bring to the Mongols are a kind of sad slavery, an inheritance of tradition without criticism, respect for the deification of ancestors, and a literary flaw for the shortcomings of ancestors. This slavery is like water and fire compared to the heroic spirit of the Mongols. It eliminates the spirit of daring to resist for itself and the nation, and eliminates the nation's self-esteem and motivation for progress.

In the minds of the Mongolians, those who passed away were gods, and what they said and the traditions left behind were irreplaceable. All this made them follow the old without reason, lack the motivation to innovate, lack the courage to doubt authority, and the laziness and selfishness that arises. They do not like changes in life, nor do they actively seek changes. When obvious crises come, they will not think of avoiding them; when obvious opportunities come, they will not think of grasping them.

Based on this belief, the Mongolian culture showed strong stiffness and lack of change. When the living environment undergoes major changes and the experience provided by ancestors cannot solve new problems, the weaknesses of this culture will be exposed, and the overall social maladaptation of the nation will occur, and the progress of the nation will be seriously hindered. There is no doubt that the Mongolian lifestyle has not undergone major changes and innovations in the past few centuries, which is inseparable from this worship of ancestors.
