The 421st chapter new cavalry (six)
Watching the cavalry begin to advance step by step, although it is slow and a little confused, it seems to have a good start. These cavalry are working hard to adjust their queues to avoid exceeding too many of them, so that they will be punished. And because of the corresponding military discipline, these soldiers dare not violate Zhu Chunlin. After all, two people have been locked up. If they continue like this, they may be punished. The effect of this dense queue is obviously becoming more and more disciplined.
"It's very good. This may be the power of our civilization." Chen Fei said.
Zhu Chunlin immediately asked: "Dr. Chen, what is the power of civilization?"
"Civilization, that is, culture, and the level of thinking progress of the entire nation. For example, the inheritance of books from China from all generations spreads the culture of our ancestors to us, and finally we carry forward our things and pass on our things to future generations. In this process, we formed ideas, as well as various governing ideas, even ordinary poems, novels, and various Confucian classics, which can be included in civilization." Chen Fei said.
Zhu Chunlin immediately said: "Is that true that only scholars can have civilization?"
"No, even if you are illiterate, there are even our farmers. Even ours are civilized. For example, in ancient times, people did not eat food given by pity, which is the moral integrity in people's hearts. If you were asked to eat something to feed dogs, would you eat it?" Chen Fei asked.
Zhu Chunlin immediately said: "I would rather starve to death than eat dog food!"
Chen Fei felt quite satisfied, and Zhu Chunlin was still morally honest. This is what civilization brought about, which makes people have dignity and their own moral thinking, rather than those barbarians on the grassland who dared to do anything. In the Turks, in fact, the whole society is the law of the jungle. It relies on force to govern the country. And their complete law of the jungle will ultimately not be able to produce too many civilizations. If humans can make progress, they will inevitably be inseparable from civilization. If they rely on personal force to obtain benefits, they will only be able to obtain a slightest bit, and the entire society will not be able to make progress.
Because of civilization, humans have mercy and various emotions, and are no longer the beasts of the past, and can do anything to survive. And with civilization, everyone has cultural heritage, so that the country and nation can continue to last, and not change at any time like nomadic peoples. Although China has experienced two catastrophes of foreign invasions, it can finally preserve its civilization and wait for the opportunity to revive again. However, those nomadic peoples were defeated and there was no chance of revive at all. So this is the civilization brought by culture. There is only time for the things that can destroy civilization. Even the later Mongolians and the Qing Dynasty were unable to destroy Chinese civilization. Instead, many of them have been integrated into China in turn. There are also corresponding examples in the West. Although the Romans conquered Greece, the entire country became Hellenized, and it is impossible to judge who wins and who loses.
"Although my China has been bullied by nomadic peoples, our China has civilizations that nomadic peoples can almost never have. Although they may be able to gain an advantage for a while, once they reach the later stage, the more we reach the later stage, our advantage will become greater and greater. At that time, we can completely gain the greatest advantage through our civilization. Without civilization, that is, there is no discipline. Without discipline, there will be no way to implement these new cavalry. The combat effectiveness of new cavalry is definitely several times that of the Turks in a certain scale of combat, so we will definitely be able to win."
Although Chen Fei's new cavalry, although it seems that the individual strength is not as good as the Turks, Chen Fei knew a famous saying by the French emperor Napoleon later. That is, two Mamluk soldiers can definitely win 3 French soldiers; 100 French soldiers and 100 Mamluk soldiers are evenly matched; 300 French soldiers can defeat 300 Mamluk soldiers, and 1,000 French soldiers can defeat 1,500 Mamluk soldiers. This sentence means that France can defeat the Mamluk cavalry, which is known for its personal combat effectiveness through team combat methods. The origin of the Mamluk group is a group of Turks. They ran to the Turks after being eliminated by the Tang Dynasty.
Later, during the Napoleonic period, France had much more civilization than those of the barbaric Mamluks, so it was better to say that it was civilization that defeated them than France that defeated them. Although the Tang Dynasty did not seem to have many advantages against the Turks now, the biggest advantage of the Tang Dynasty was the civilization that had been passed down for many years in China. Civilization was the core of defeating the Turks, because only civilization could train well-trained troops, continuously improve weapons, and then develop weapons. The Turks were still using cold weapons, and they were all fighting with personal heroes. Can they not fail?
However, the foundation of civilization must be accumulated continuously. At least at this time, Western countries have not been able to accumulate enough civilization. The most powerful thing in the East is the Chinese civilization, so there is no need to be afraid of any foreign invasions. As for the two foreign invasions in history in the Central Plains, in Chen Fei's opinion, they were all internally committed suicide in China, otherwise they would not end up like this. If it weren't for the internal struggle in the country, how could China be dominated by foreign tribes?
"Dragon Zhong Chen, what you mean is that through a civilization that has been passed down for thousands of years, will our Tang Dynasty definitely defeat the Turks?" Zhu Chunlin asked.
