Someone in the room finally calmed down and saw Mo Lun wilted like an eggplant beaten by frost. The leaders of various tribes sitting in the same room seemed to have not understood why they were still chatting and laughing and scolding Fang Qiu just now. The city guard became taciturn all of a sudden. This seemed to be somewhat related to what the Jiedushi had just said, but outsiders like them couldn't figure it out.
Seeing that all the leaders were a little surprised, Wu Feng smiled and said to everyone: "Mo Chengshou's throat is a little uncomfortable, but it's not serious. Let's all enjoy the show together. Well, Lord Nasht, I can't see what you are doing. The folk dance of the Bu people is so vigorous, full of passion and vitality, no wonder all your people are good at singing and dancing."
"Thank you for your compliment, Master Jiedushi. We Tubu people have lived on the grassland since we were young. The vast grassland has long imbued our people with bold and rough characters. Therefore, all men and women in our Tubu people can sing and dance, and so can the young people." Marriages are made through competitions in archery, riding and singing." With a respectful nod, the leader of the Tubu tribe, Lord Nashit, who is now called the lord, also received Wu Feng's invitation and made a special trip to celebrate. Yang participated in this grassland national unity and peace conference.
Until now, he has not completely let go. After all, the Tubu people were on the wrong side in the war. Fortunately, the northwest side did not seem to have any intention of abolishing him and still allowed him to continue to serve as the leader. This was simply disappointing. He was overjoyed. After receiving the invitation, he worried for a while, worried that Li Wufeng would go back on his word or trick him into being put under house arrest in Qingyang. But then he thought about it, if that was the case, he would have to go too. The current situation I can no longer help myself. It wasn't until he arrived in Qingyang and saw leaders or representatives from the Mote, Qiur, Gaoyue and even Baiin people that he quietly felt relieved.
"Both the Tubu and Mote people are great peoples on the grassland. They are natural riders and singers and dancers, and they also have a long history. However, history is developing. If a nation is always intoxicated in the glory of the past and rests on its own laurels, I am afraid that the decline of this nation is not far away. Whether it is on the grasslands or the entire continent, there have been countless nations that have flourished for thousands of years, but only a few of them can continue to this day. ? If we don't realize this correctly, maybe we are all likely to be abandoned by the times." Wu Feng glanced at the two lords sitting on his left and said with profound meaning, "Today's era is like sailing against the current. Progress leads to retreat. The concepts and thoughts of the Luobi people are lagging behind the times, so they will be beaten. This failure is just the beginning. If they still cannot learn from it, I think the Luobi people will not be able to succeed as a nation in a few decades. It would not be surprising if it was erased from the Tengger Steppe and only reappeared in history.”
Although there was a lot of singing and dancing in the center of the field, the huge noise could not suppress Wu Feng's deep and deep voice, whether it was Nashit and Gursufu sitting on his left, or Kapok and Shiliu sitting on his right The two Gaoyue clan elders were shocked by Wu Feng's words.
"Sir, what do you think the path of our grassland people should take?" Guersufu finally broke the silence. He had realized the intention of Wufeng's words and immediately followed up and asked.
"It should be said that the development path of each nation has its own characteristics, but it is inseparable from the trend of history. The grassland people have lived on the Tengger Grassland for thousands of years. Whether they gather together or rise or fall, according to the I have observed and understood that the grassland peoples have never been able to surpass or even catch up with the farming peoples in terms of civilization. However, the grassland peoples still survived tenaciously and gained many advantages in the war against the farming peoples. This is another reason. What’s the reason?”
Wufeng's words asked what was in the hearts of Guersufu and Nashet. Although Li Wufeng had won many wars against the grassland tribes, he also defeated one of the two traditional strongholds in the Tengger grassland - - Luobei people, but this does not mean that the farming nation has changed this outcome. The victory of one nation over another cannot be proven by simply two or three wars. The nomadic people have defeated the farming people countless times in the ups and downs of thousands of years, but they have never been able to defeat any farming people in the true sense. This is the same reason.
"There are many reasons for this. We can briefly summarize a few. The first is geographical reasons. Even at the peak of their heyday, the countries established by the farming peoples never really wanted to conquer the nomadic peoples, because in the eyes of their leaders, defeating them would be impossible. It is enough, the habitat of the nomadic people is too far for them. The second nature is the logistical supply reason of the war. Due to the long front line, the farming people have gained the advantage in many cases. In the war, due to the long front line and limited logistical supply, The lack of military combat effectiveness often results in failure, but the nomads can overcome this with their strong mobility and unique national endurance and lifestyle. Therefore, many times the farming people take the lead but fail in the end."
"Of course these are just the two most basic reasons. The real root lies in the mutual understanding and incompatibility between the two nations in all aspects, which makes it impossible to eliminate the hostility between the nations. But I don't know if you have noticed that all this But things are changing quietly." Wu Feng spoke with fully prepared words.
"Oh? Please make it clear, sir." Everyone's eyes fell on Wu Feng, including the two elders of the Gaoyue clan and the representatives of the Qiur and Boyin people sitting in the back. They also pricked up their ears and wanted to hear. Hear the vision of this legendary man.
"This is the change brought about by the rise of industry and commerce!" Wu Feng's words were brief and powerful.
"Industry and commerce?!" The leaders and representatives of each tribe were unable to understand the meaning of Wu Feng's words for a while.
"Yes, it is a change brought about by industry and commerce. You can think about it. In the past twenty years, with the continuous extension of roads and the increasingly developed means of transportation, roads were opened where there were no roads before. Two-wheeled vehicles that were previously inaccessible have become , four-wheeled carriages can easily go straight to the deep inland, and the waterway transportation industry is developing rapidly. Ships are getting bigger and bigger, the cargo capacity is getting larger and larger, the ship speed is getting faster and faster, and the scope of news dissemination is also getting wider and wider. Extensive, these are all changes brought about by the rise of industry and commerce. When these changes penetrate bit by bit into the depths of the lives of the people of all ethnic groups, these people will gradually discover that the world is so wonderful and that life can be so beautiful. . Yearning for a better life is a person’s indelible nature. When the entire nation’s yearning for a better life is ignited, anyone who wants to stop it will be crushed to pieces!”
"Think about it, how many people in the clan have experienced and enjoyed silks, porcelain, glass, tea, coffee, woolen cloth, cotton, carriages, books, and works of art in the past, and how many people can enjoy them? But now, industry and commerce The benefits brought by the development of the country to people's lives have been deeply imprinted on people. Not only the middle and upper classes of all ethnic groups have begun to enjoy the convenience and benefits brought by these changes, but the middle and lower classes are also gradually realizing that a good life is not illusory. , through one's own hard work, through one's own struggle, raising sheep, herding horses, weaving, logging, farming, working, doing business, serving in the military, and being in politics, everything can be achieved through labor and hard work, and life can have more. choice, who do you think can stop this historical trend from rushing forward?"
The extremely provocative eloquence clearly revealed what Wu Feng wanted to express, and everyone was impressed by what Wu Feng said. Yes, no matter which ethnic group you are here, if you ask the upper-class nobles to return to the life they had twenty years ago, ten years ago, or even three years ago, no one will be willing, even the middle- and lower-class small herders and The herdsmen are enjoying the benefits brought by these changes with peace of mind. People all have bad natures. If they have always been like that, maybe nothing will happen. But once they are used to a good life, if they are asked to go back to the hard days of the past, I'm afraid that the leader of this nation really needs to be replaced.
Seeing the thoughtful expressions on everyone's faces, Wu Feng consciously paused for a while to give everyone a buffer period to digest his words. The singing and dancing in the audience were still enthusiastic and exciting, but the people in the room seemed not to Whenever people are interested in taking a look there, they fall into a state of contemplation.
"Sir, you still haven't explained what we should do now to be the wisest choice?" Gu Ersufu deliberately cooperated with Wu Feng and guided everyone's thinking. Even Wu Feng had to admire that this guy was indeed a natural. Supporting material.
"The historical trend is unstoppable. Instead of passively waiting for the historical trend to change us, we should bravely embrace the historical trend. Only by standing at the top of the historical trend can you truly have an overview of the overall situation, a high-level view, and grasp the development of history. direction, only in this way can you and your tribesmen strive for greater benefits for your nation in the collision of historical tides, and if you are unable to do this, then you and your tribesmen can only passively survive. Struggling in this turbulent whirlpool, if you are not careful, you will fall into the abyss and become a sinner of your own nation." The ups and downs of the tone made everyone once again feel the painstaking efforts of Lord Li Wufeng, who is the military and political envoy of the northwest.
"Now our northwest has a considerable advantage in the territory of the Eastern Continent. The Luobi people have declined. Needless to say, in the east and inland of the empire, many heroes have emerged. As long as we are willing to join this chess game, many people are already willing. Provide us with unimaginable rich returns; in the south, the rich and prosperous Andean plains are waiting for us to conquer. The weak Andes are simply not worthy of monopolizing such a luxurious granary. We will create another miracle in Northern Luzon!"
