Crossing the Unknown Country

Chapter 518: Comfort will only make people jealous

Su He went to the border town and brought some food. More supplies will be shipped over later, and people have been sent to various farms.

She asked each farm to transport half of its stored grain, and each farm had to keep the other half for emergency use. In case of special circumstances, the remaining people would need to take the grain and flee to a safe place.

There are many young and strong men in all the villages, and they are prepared when buying people. They can take up arms in wartime and protect their families and property when troubled times come.

In this era, Su He only feels that he is not well prepared, and never feels that he is well prepared. War is cruel, and you will never win all the time. There will always be winners and losers.

When you win, all your preparations are sufficient. When you lose, all your preparations will have loopholes, and even a small loophole can cost you your life.

She had experienced the fear of being plundered, so she didn't want it to happen. She took out the stored food in the hope that the soldiers in the border town would be well fed and have the strength to fight off the foreign enemies.

Ansheng is a peace-loving country, not warlike or aggressive, and governs the country with culture. This may be the innate nature of the Chinese people, the nature of the country, a country of etiquette, and does not engage in war.

Such a country must be better developed than its neighboring countries because it is internally stable. The people have time to do farming, and the grain output is relatively high. Other products are also relatively abundant, and naturally it becomes a huge delicacy.

How could the surrounding countries not be jealous when they smelled the fragrance? As long as they defeated this country, they could get these things without any effort. The people here could submit to them and be enslaved to death without anyone caring.

Some people don't understand that if I was captured or joined another country, I could escape. No, your skin is Chinese, and you are Chinese in this life. Even if you go to another country, you are still an alien.

It would be fine if there is no war between the two countries, but if a war breaks out, the first people to suffer will be the people around you. Otherwise, if you look through history, you will find that the United States, Germany, Indonesia and other countries have all done large-scale cleansing of foreign races.

When wars reach a certain point, people of the same ethnic group will kill each other, not to mention those who are obviously not of the same ethnic group. In Chinese history, during the Yuan Dynasty, the Qing Dynasty, and the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the Han people were plundered and killed quite brutally. If it were not for the Chinese nation's tradition of being like wild grass that can never be burned out by wildfire and will grow again in the spring breeze, this nation would have long since disappeared or become a minority.

Although the ultimate ideal of mankind is national integration, regardless of race, but at that time, humans in different regions, even within one ethnic group, could be distinguished, not to mention the obviously different facial features and skin colors.

Su He was doing business with the people of Dongjie State. She believed that the common people did not want to fight. However, those in power in the royal family never took the feelings of the common people into consideration. In their struggle for power, they had to gain benefits from the war to win.

If the old emperor of Dongjie died, the princes would inevitably be in chaos, because there was only one person who could ascend the throne. The others were destined to be eliminated if they did not fight for it, because the temptation of the highest position was too great.

Money, power, beauty, these are the things that many men love most in life. How can it not drive people crazy? Some people can get them as long as they work hard. What do you think the mentality of those princes is?

There is no need to think about fighting. Use your own martial arts to conquer others, or you can use your own martial arts to directly crush and kill others.

At this time, the most lacking thing is supplies, and the fat piece of meat of Ansheng Kingdom is the best supply. No matter which of the princes has the upper hand, when they gain military power, they will launch an aggressive war.

Your comfort is the biggest temptation, and your enemies will surely come to plunder you. People who are comfortable for a long time will lose their fighting spirit and will fantasize about a beautiful world, being good to their neighbors, and the disappearance of evil people.

But on the contrary, wherever there are people, there will be fighting; wherever there are people, there will be dangers; as long as there are countries, war is inevitable.

Power and interests will allow some people to spontaneously drive wars and make profits from them. Maybe they cannot enjoy these, but it does not prevent them from doing things that harm the majority of people.
