This article begins with a small riddle: "What in history has become bigger and stronger, and stronger?" The answer is actually "cut the faculty."
"Cutting the vassal" is naturally from the perspective of the ruler. This is not like the "I cut you" that people in the Northeast often say, because the "I" mentioned here is only the implementation subject, not necessarily the actual ruler; In a long-term situation where all parties believe that they are orthodox, the corresponding enemy force is the "fan". It is really lively if I cut you and you cut me, and it is the ordinary people who suffer in the end.
The most magical place in my country’s history is that there is a sense of “rhythm” and there is a constant “history repeating”; and under the same rhythm, there will always be some “variations” in the appropriate nodes, and finally Make our historical stage advance perfectly, thus forming the majestic and beautiful "historical symphony poem". To say the content of this symphony poem, to put it bluntly, is "cut". Fortunately, the history of our country as a whole is "cutting bigger and stronger". What kind of process is this?
"Symphonic Poem" usually scores four movements; in fact, the historical evolution of my country's social system is indeed divided into four parts, which is quite different from the simple and crude "slave-feudal-capitalism"! Strictly speaking, these four chapters must be "feudal-feudal centralization-centralization-republic". There have indeed been countless historical repetitions of "mutual cutting" in this process. However, the emergence of any "interlude or variation" History will always be headed in the right direction, and only then will we have today's harmonious unified situation.
Feudal period: the initial formation of the two enfeoffment and centralization system
Since the history of the Mingwen chronology in our country began in the Western Zhou Dynasty (that is, the " republic first year" in 841 BC), this The previous stage of "slavery" is indeed difficult to be classified as "official history", we just can't deny the existence of this process. From a rigorous perspective, Chinese history was a feudal society at the beginning, and the previous stage was only an "epic" culture, which is similar to the development process of Western society-the so-called "epic" is to allow fictional literary elements to exist. When unbelievable history.
more than two thousand years ago,King Wu had his first enfeoffment after his extermination of Shang. During this period, the enfeoffments were mostly relatives and heroes of and King Wu, and among them were the "Three Supervisors" (管叔, Cai Shu, and Huo Shu The three "Uncles") are the most powerful. The songs all sang: "The three monks had no water to drink." Soon, the "three prisons" caused turmoil, and then there was Zhou Gongdong ; When it was divided again, it kept an eye on it: Ji surnamed the clan princes as the main "fence", which formed restrictions on the heroic princes in the division of the fief, and at the same time, the "Zhou Li" was used to maintain the stability of the clan system. Western Zhou The "cutting of the three supervisions" of the dynasty brought the unification of the Central Plains, which is "cutting more and more."
entrusted the princes, the real "feudal" era
With the development of the thoughts of the philosophers, the late Zhou royal family gradually collapsed and the "soldier cunning way" began to gain the upper hand, so the Spring and Autumn and Warring States period The princes began to deceive and compete with each other, and Zhou Tianzi completely became puppets. In the process of "mutual cutting" in the centuries of competing in the Central Plains, 秦国 this "interlude" became the final big winner, this is "the more cutting the stronger"; Qin Shihuang knows that "distribution" is everything The root of the chaos, so the system of prefectures and counties replaced the enfeoffment system, and the " centralization system" with the emperor as the core was initially born.
Feudal centralization: a period when centralization and sub-sealing coexisted
Why do you say that the prefecture system in the Qin Shihuang period was only the rudiment of a "centralized system"? I believe that Qin Shihuang himself would never think so, but he just couldn’t prevent the wheel of history from turning too fast. Qin dynasty "Died for the second generation." After receiving Qin’s mess, Liu Bang couldn’t digest the surging multi-party forces for a time, so he had no choice but to “reverse the history” and return to the enclave. This made Qin Shi’s system of centralization only a short-lived and only called it. "Prototype". There is a saying that can confirm Liu Bang's "helplessness", because he knew in his heart what would be brought after the ban, and even left the divine prophecy of "Any Liu's world, he will be alive" before his death!
Liu Bang’s "God Prophecy"
As expected, first Zhou Bo to punish Zhu Lu and help the king Liu Heng to ascend the throne as Wen Emperor 20spanspanspan19 and later to help span19 The Emperor of the Han Dynasty Liu Qiping brought the to the Seven Kingdoms , which was brought about by Liu Qiping. The above is the first historical repetition of the eradication of the vassal and the "wiping the buttocks" of the enfeoffment system in the early Han dynasty. When it comes to "rhythm", this kind of historical re-enactment will naturally not only happen once, and at least three or four beats must be repeated before a "variation" can occur. Qualified musicians do this.
The policy that really made the centralized system leap into the main body was the " 推恩令" during the period of the Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. That is to say, the long history thereafter was actually a period of "centralization and segregation coexisting". The princes on the ground will no longer pose a greater threat to the central government. In many cases, some princes were lazy to get a fief after being divided, unless they were demoted. For example, the "Duan Wang" Zhao Ji ( Song Huizong) of the Song Dynasty, his fief was in Duanzhou (Zhaoqing City), Guangdong before he became the throne. But Zhao Ji wouldn't be able to travel all the way to Lingnan, which is different in size and essence from the former "prince of vassal".
Due to the uninterrupted local existence of the encapsulation system,Indeed, there have indeed been many incidents of chaos by princes and vassals in history. Just as "historical reenactment" requires at least three or four beats to have "variations", this last variation fell in the early years of the Ming Dynasty.
Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang was born similar to Liu Bang. He also reluctantly "reversed history" to entrust the vassal vassal and leave the tasks of cutting the vassal and centralizing power to future generations. At this time, the successor Jianwen Emperor Zhu Yunqi did not have as good luck as the Han Jingdi. His reign was overthrown by Zhu Di as the vassal king, playing the "strongest variation" in the history of the clan-cutting event! ——The reason for saying this is that Emperor Han Jing’s success in cutting the vassal consolidate the foundation of the centralized power system, while the success of Zhu Di’s "variation" successfully consolidated the Chinese territory in the early Ming Dynasty; because of the completely different historical endings and Chinese history It is always developing towards the good side; if Zhu Di's "Battle of Jing Nan" fails, it is still unknown whether the Ming Dynasty can keep the northern Xinjiang with Zhu Yunqi's talents!
Ming Chengzu: a unified regime formed by "rebelling against the clan"
Centralization: the peak of power on the spire
The Qing Dynasty is also a magical existence, because since Nurhachi started, Their regime has undergone the rapid evolution of "slave-feudal-centralization" in a short period of time, and finally settled on a complete "centralization", and there is no longer any place for enfeoffment forces! When still in the northeast, this group of golden men was still a serf force. After entering the pass, they were entrusted with such vassal kings as " Pingxi king, Pingnan king..."; after Emperor Kangxi cut the domain, Yongzheng The emperor finally took the power firmly with the "Military Department", and the Qing Dynasty has stepped into the pinnacle of autocratic rule, and there is no other one in history.
However, the "peak of power on the spire" is definitely not a good thing, because the heights are too cold, and once the tower base rots, such a lonely family will have nowhere to stand! After the fall of the Qing Dynasty, Puyi lost all clan power,A regime that relies on the support of foreign enemies is destined to be untenable. In response to the centralization of the "tower spire" feature, Sun Yat-sen only needs to concentrate his firepower on the base of the tower, and the top rule will be in jeopardy; the old saying is "capture the thief first capture the king", and what he dealt with is no longer a force of enfeoffment. "Hydra".
In the period of feudal centralization, a regime is a multi-power system with centralized power, so it is difficult for Liu Bang-style regime subversives to appear between the Han Dynasty and the Song Dynasty, because this is really difficult to deal with! Zhu Yuanzhang's success was not because he was able to "cut" such a bullish force himself, but because he was fortunate to stand in the era of the people's will and the alternate era of hot and cold weapons (systematic use of guns first appeared in Zhu Yuanzhang's army ), and finally won the competition.
True and false republic: the most suitable system for China's game
Since the end of the Qing Dynasty, the system in our country is a republic. The difference is that the republic based on parliamentary system is based on the republic of all the people. During the period of the Beiyang government, the so-called parliament was actually composed of the warlord forces of various regions. This was not much different from the past vassals. The later "Northern Expedition, change of flags and flags" were essentially the same as the "cutting of the vassal" in ancient times. Just under the banner of being tall and tall, Jiang was promoted to the presidential throne.
As we all know, the "Jiang Dynasty", as its name suggests, is a dictatorship that sells authoritarian dog meat with republican sheep's head. This shows that the pseudo-republic based on small circles of local forces is not suitable for our country. Even during the Liberation War of , there were still various parties in the Jiang family's dynasty with different systems of "kings" forces, such as "Sichuan Army, Dian Army, Gui Army, Northwest Army..." and so on. They were all in name only. Belonging to the Jiang family dynasty is not much different from the past Spring and Autumn princes.
In essence, the War of Liberation was also a war of "cutting the vassal" to capture the thieves and the king: through the three major battles, Chiang’s direct line of the Central Army was destroyed, and the other "princes" would have nothing to do. In the end, they can only surrender and surrender to our party. From the perspective of our regime, aren't the warlords of all factions all "fans"? After all, they are all "feuding" forces based on the republican system, and they are also ironclad evidence of the "false republic".
The Jiang dynasty collapsed, "comrades still need to work hard", and Mr. Zhongshan's republican idea will continue to be carried forward by our party. In the system game of the "true and false republics" in modern times, history repeats itself as a war of the appearance of "cutting the vassal vassal", but this time, it is no longer the party who is the dominant ruler who is going to "cut the vassal vassal". The first time in thousands of years of history; such a creative ending has become a footnote to the evolution of the system for thousands of years. No wonder it has become the perfect final chapter of this "historical symphony poem"!
Whether it is "cutting the domain" or cutting the resistance, the common goal is to cut the enemy's power. From the perspective of the winner, this is naturally "the bigger the cut, the stronger the cut" A historical process. The subject of "who cuts the other" is not important. What is important is that the historical trend must be conducive to the unification of the country and the people. So who should be "cut" the most in our country today? I believe that all people in the country have already reached a consensus!
