In fact, it is not impossible to spread Hinduism in Japan. Historically, in Southeast Asia, Hinduism once flourished for a period of time.

In Indonesia, there have been several Hindu kingdoms in history. Even in the 21st century, Bali, Indonesia's famous tourist destination, is still a Hindu region. However, later Allah religion invaded Indonesia, and the more aggressive Allah religion regime completely replaced the Hindu regime in Indonesia. This also led to Indonesia becoming the world's number one Allah country, and only Bali still retains the Hindu belief.

This is enough to show that Hinduism can also spread in other parts of the world, not only in India. As for the religion of Allah, it seems to be more popular among nomads. But in agrarian societies, it's a little more difficult to spread. Unless, like ancient Southeast Asia, there are no powerful countries that can let them spread by force.

Why is this? Here I have to mention the two rules of self-restraint taught by Allah - one is the prohibition of drinking alcohol, and the other is the prohibition of eating pork...

If it wasn't for the prohibition of drinking alcohol, Maozi might have converted to Allah. Don't eat pork... Anyway, the Chinese and Germans will definitely not accept it...

In agrarian society, raising pigs is an important source of meat. Because, in the farming society, the land has been reclaimed into farmland, lack of grassland, unable to herd sheep, and the important production materials of the bull market... Therefore, the main source of meat in the farming society is pork...

You don't allow people to eat pork, you just don't let people eat meat... In this way, it is strange that people in farming society are willing to believe in Allah... Unless they are conquered - such as Indonesia, by the fierce Allah The regime was conquered by violence...

But this has also brought a huge social problem to Indonesia - Indonesia is obviously a farming country, but it believes in the religion of Allah, which is not allowed to eat pork. The result is that Indonesia is severely lacking in meat, and has to import a large number of cattle and sheep from Australia to supplement the meat supply every year. Otherwise, Indonesians will not be able to eat meat...

In fact, Indonesia is a very suitable country for raising pigs. Java Island has a large rice yield, which can naturally provide enough grain bran and other pig feed. If pigs are raised, the problem of national meat supply can be easily solved.

However, Indonesia is a country of Allah, and it is not allowed to eat pork, and naturally it does not raise pigs. Then, beef and mutton can only be obtained by importing cattle and sheep from Australia.

Because meat relies on imports, the price of meat in Indonesia remains high, and ordinary people naturally cannot afford it. According to a report that Marin read in a previous life, the per capita meat consumption in Indonesia in 2016 was only 12.9 kilograms. In the same period, Huaxia had 59 kg. Even North Korea, which has a difficult food supply, has 13.9 kilograms, which is one kilogram more than Indonesia... Only Asan is at the bottom, and the per capita meat consumption level of 4.1 kilograms can give Indonesia some confidence... And 120 kilograms in the United States, even less Fabby...

In fact,

Indonesia is not poor, with a per capita GDP of US$3,570, several times higher than North Korea's US$665. But it is because the canon prohibits eating pork, which makes it difficult for the people to eat meat and rely heavily on imports.

Therefore, if the cause of violent conquest is excluded, the religion of Allah can only spread among nomads. In an agrarian society, it is easy to be resisted. For example, in Eastern Europe, Greece has been occupied by Turkey for hundreds of years and has not converted to Allah, because the two canons of Allah hinder the spread of religion. Greece is an ancient civilization and an agrarian society. You don't allow alcohol or pork, aren't you tossing people? Therefore, Turkey has occupied the Balkan Peninsula for hundreds of years, and only the Muslims of Bosnia and Herzegovina belong to Allah. Other areas are stunned that they have not been greened.

Hinduism is different. Hinduism does not have these uncomfortable rules, only the one that is not allowed to eat beef is a bit uncomfortable.

If placed in Europe, Hinduism must be difficult to spread. Because Europeans like to eat beef. But in Japan, there is absolutely no such problem. Because, like China, it is forbidden to kill cattle. Even Japanese eating beef was a precedent for Prime Minister Ito Hirobumi at the end of the 19th century. Then, Kobe beef was also discovered...

So, there is no problem in spreading Hinduism in Japan. Moreover, it can be spread from top to bottom, fully safeguarding the interests of the ruling class.

Generally speaking, Hinduism is spread from top to bottom. Buddhism, on the other hand, is bottom-up. Because Hinduism safeguards the interests of the ruling class, while Buddhism is in line with the needs of the lower classes (in fact, it is also a fool). Therefore, in China, it is also the upper-level channel, and the common people believe in Buddhism. After all, Hinduism is not in the interests of the lower classes, and it is naturally difficult to promote it among the people. And Hinduism is very in line with the interests of the upper-level rulers, and naturally needs to be spread from top to bottom...

Marin wrote all these thoughts down, and after writing for a long time, he was also a little dizzy. So he came to the martial arts field of the palace to watch Kahn, the animal, practice martial arts.

When he is usually fine, Kahn usually wanders around the palace. If you have nothing to do, go to the martial arts field to practice martial arts, beat sandbags and wooden stakes. Either lift the 200-pound boulder into the air... and once Marin is about to leave the palace, Kahn will follow closely to protect Marin's safety...

Today, when Marin came to the martial arts field to relax and watch, he happened to see Kahn and a guard competing with the sword on a horse.

The palace performance field is very small, and it is impossible to rush up. Therefore, the two of them rode on horses, moved forward at a low speed, and then slashed each other with sabres.

Because they both wore full-body plate armor, the two sides didn't keep their hands when they chopped, and they attacked harder. As a result, the two imitation 65-style cavalry sabers collided hard together... and then, both knives were broken...

"Broken..." Marin was a little stunned. This is made by myself specially made of high carbon steel, why does it break so easily? And once it is cut, there are only two... Usually, the iron knives made by the folk blacksmiths are used to cut off the opponent's knives...

But Marin quickly reacted - can the steel knife vs the machete not win? High carbon steel sabers can be used to cut...

"It seems that high carbon steel is hard enough, but lacks toughness..."

Malin remembered that many treasured knives in ancient China seemed to use the stack forging method. That is, the "backbone" inside the blade is made of softer steel, which makes the blade full of toughness. However, the surface wraps the hard part, making the blade sharp and hard. When slashing each other, they can cut off each other's swords without gaps... Or, through special treatments such as quenching, the surface strength of the swords can be enhanced...

In later generations, spring steel was often used to make swords, but the surface edge of the sword was carburized to increase its strength. In this way, the toughness of the sword is there, and the strength of the blade is sufficient...

In other words, the harder the sword, the better. Although high carbon steel has high strength, its toughness is not enough. If a high-carbon steel knife is slashed with a lower-quality iron knife, it can naturally cut off the other side. However, if you can't cut the opponent's weapons, such as iron rods and heavy two-handed swords, it is easy to cut yourself off...

Therefore, in order not to affect the combat effectiveness of the cavalry, Marin felt that the performance level of the cavalry knife should be improved...

Of course, Marin was referring to improving the performance level of the cavalry knives used by his own army. As for export-type swords, we should continue to use high carbon steel. Anyway, high carbon steel swords are indeed much stronger than the pig iron swords that are popular in Europe now, and no one will say that the quality is poor when they are sold. But the weapons used by our own army naturally have to strive for perfection. It is necessary and necessary to improve the performance level... ()
