Seeing that no one came forward to answer his question, Cao Yue continued: "China's national strength began to decline from the Song Dynasty. Zhao Kuangyin, Emperor Taizu of the Song Dynasty, began to implement the policy of worshipping culture and restraining military force in order to avoid the chaos of the separatist regime in the late Tang Dynasty. The status of civil servants has been further improved, the status of military generals is getting lower and lower, and the status of soldiers has also dropped to a historical low point. "

"As a matter of fact, the civil and martial arts of our country are just like two feet of a person. In any aspect, the slow development and lagging development will bring great trouble to the body and become a lame walker. The same is true of the country. If we blindly advocate culture and suppress military force, and suppress the status of military generals and soldiers, who is willing to join the army? All the soldiers in the army are forced to join the army, and the army will lose its combat effectiveness. The low combat effectiveness of the army has made it difficult to suppress civil strife and even foreign aggression. The tragedy at the end of the Northern Song Dynasty must not be mentioned by me, but we all know it. "

At this time, a classmate stood up and refuted Cao Yue's statement: "monitor, I saw on the Internet that the combat effectiveness of the army in the Song Dynasty was very good, and the victory rate of the Song Dynasty was also very high, reaching more than 70%, while that of the Tang Dynasty was less than 30%. How can you say that the Tang Dynasty was strong and the Song Dynasty was weak? "

"Idiot theory," Cao Yue couldn't help cursing: "if the fighting power of the Song Dynasty's army was very strong, and the winning rate was 70%, why could not even the Sixteen States of Yanyun be recovered? Why was it necessary to pay tribute to Liao's years, and in the absence of civil strife and sufficient state taxes, was killed by the Jurchen, and the Southern Song regime could only survive in the south? "

Cao Yue continued: "if the combat effectiveness of the Tang Dynasty's army is really so poor, with only a 30% victory rate, then why can they defeat Koryo, Baiji, Congling, East and West Turks, and reach the Aral Sea, the Arctic Ocean, and now Iran and Vietnam? How could it be that at the end of the Tang Dynasty, any army of vassal towns could defeat the barbarians? In the Tang Dynasty, civil strife continued, but the threat of foreign nationalities was not strong, and they were not hurt by foreigners. Even if the Tubo narrowly broke Chang'an, they could recover quickly. "

"If the song army has such a high winning rate, the earth will be unified by the Song Dynasty."

There was a burst of laughter from the class. The classmate who stood up to refute Cao Yue was a little embarrassed, but he continued to argue stubbornly: "the Song Dynasty was weak, it was because the Tang Dynasty lost the horse ranch. If there is no pasture, there is no way to raise horses; if there are no horses, there is no way to build cavalry; if there is no cavalry, there is no way to compete with the Hu people. This is the fundamental reason why the Song Dynasty could not recover the Sixteen States of Yanyun. "

"Classmate, you're wrong," Cao Yue said, adding that Cao was a bit ironic and immediately refuted. "No matter which dynasty, it can be said that it was built from the ruins. Han, Tang, song and Ming are the same. You said that because of the loss of pasture land in the Tang Dynasty, there was no place to raise horses in the Song Dynasty, so the combat effectiveness of the army was poor. There was no large number of cavalry, and there was no way to resist the iron cavalry of the Hu people. Then I ask you, when the Chen Qiao mutiny, how many thousands of troops of the Northern Zhou Dynasty were under Zhao Kuangyin's command? "

"More than four hundred thousand!" did not need the student to answer, Zheng Hongbing, who was familiar with the history of the Song Dynasty, rushed to answer.

"In the Tang Dynasty, how many troops did Li Yuan have Without waiting for others to answer, Cao Yue gave the answer himself. "Certainly not four hundred thousand. According to historical records, when Li Yuan started his army, ten thousand cavalry were unable to gather together, and the total strength was less than 50000. Li Yuan according to Taiyuan, do you have a horse ranch? Certainly not. By comparison, we can find that Li Tang's military strength was far less than that of Zhao Kuangyin and Chen Qiao's mutiny. After the Tang Dynasty, there were so many herdsmen's fields, which were not left to them by the previous dynasty, but were made by the strength of the troops under their command. However, Zhao and song, who had more powerful forces at the time of starting the army, was not able to capture the pasture land. "

After listening to Cao Yue's words, the classmate didn't say anything and sat down.

"Of course, the topic is a little far away. I'm not a Tang fan, not to mention song Hei. I'm only proud of the powerful era in Chinese history, and I'm sad for the decline. I have said so much today just to prove that Confucianism is not terrible, nor is it the cause of the decline of China. I do not support the view of Mr. Lou. There are many reasons for China's decline, but I think the most important one is the policy of advocating culture and suppressing military force by self castration. "

"Although the combat effectiveness of the army is not the whole embodiment of national strength, it is the most important embodiment. Chinese men have been full of blood since ancient times. During the Han and Tang Dynasties, so many famous officials were able to serve as generals and dismount as phase. Even scholars like Li Bai liked to travel around the world with swords. During the Han and Tang Dynasties, the individual combat ability of the soldiers was no worse than that of the Hu people. However, after the Song Dynasty, the status of the literati was infinitely elevated, and the world respected all kinds of inferior products. Only the idea of "reading high", the bloodiness of the men of the Han family was gradually eliminated and castrated, and the scholars became scholars with no binding power. Without a strong army, without good men who are full of blood and passion and willing to fight for the country, the country is doomed to decline. That's my point. Thank you. "

After finishing the last few concluding words, Cao Yue sat down.

After a short pause, thunderous applause broke out in the class. Everyone was shocked and convinced by his wonderful speech and the passion on his face. Even Li Xiaoyu and other students with different views and teacher Lou Shuguang clapped for him.About half an hour after the class, Cao Yue received a message from Zheng Han: "younger brother, I didn't expect you to be so knowledgeable. It's shocking."

"What?" Cao Yue doesn't understand.

"Just now, your statement in ancient Chinese political culture is very wonderful. I feel shocked and applauded for you." After Zheng Han's news, there are several expressions with fists raised.

"How do you know?"

"Someone sent a video, and I later found the complete video. Hee hee, I didn't expect you to be so passionate in class."

"Did someone take a video and send it to the Internet?" Cao was more surprised, "which rabbit is so boring?"

After seeing Cao Yue's news, a series of surprised expressions appeared. Zheng Han, holding a mobile phone and waiting for Cao Yue's information, couldn't help but chuckle again.

"Younger brother, you are very good and warm-blooded. My sister gives you a compliment and is going to treat you to dinner tonight and reward you. Would you like to thank you? "

While editing the message, Zheng Han was sitting in the classroom.

Or a lesson she didn't like to listen to was the history of the development of Western literature.

Cao Yue gave a wonderful speech in class. At first, after seeing the video of friends' circle forwarded by Zhu Xiaopin, she found the complete video on Tudou. Of course, it was done after class.

After watching Cao Yue's video, she was shocked. Unexpectedly, this guy has a lot of research on history, and his opinions have stunned the whole classroom. Of course, the more happy she was for Cao, she couldn't help sending a message to Cao Yue in class.

As a result, her behavior of sending messages was seen by Zhu Xiaopin, who was sitting beside her.

"Hanhan, and more and more information with Cao, so happy?" Zhu Xiaopin lowered his voice and asked Zheng Han curiously.

She saw the video of Cao Yue in class from another friend, so she forwarded it to Zheng Han. She knew that Zheng Han must be interested.

Zheng hanheng glanced at Zhu Xiaopin and did not answer her inquiry.

"Hanhan, that Cao Yue must be a rich second generation?" Zhu Xiaopin did not give up and asked again.

when she saw it that day, Cao Yue was sitting in a range rover. She knew the value of that car.

A student who can afford to drive such a luxury car is undoubtedly a rich second generation. However, Zhu Xiaopin knows that Zheng Han is not a gold digger. She is not cold to the rich second generation and the official second generation.

"You are not so interested in him, are you?" After seeing a message just sent by Cao Yue, Zheng Han joked, "do you want to tell you his wechat?"

"Hanhan, is he really excellent?" The fire of eight trigrams in Zhu Xiaopin's heart began to burn. "I don't dare to rob your boyfriend with you, but tell me his wechat. I can help you stare at him and avoid being robbed by others."

"I'll treat him to dinner tonight. Would you like to come with me?" Since Zhu Xiaopin knew the relationship between her and Cao Yue, Zheng Han did not hide it.

"Ah? You invited him to dinner Zhu Xiaopin is surprised that the most popular goddess of Jiangsu and Zhejiang University will invite the man who pursues her to dinner? It's amazing. "Forget it, I still don't want to be a light bulb. I just wonder why he attracts you? He has just come here a few days ago. How could you easily fall into the enemy's hands? "

"He is very excellent. There is no male student in the whole university of Jiangsu and Zhejiang."

"Really? !”
