尼可罗·马基雅维利《君主论》· The Prince · 认知 · 历史 · 领导
But it is impossible to hold with such tranquillity states constituted like that of France. Hence arose those frequent rebellions against the Romans in Spain, France, and Greece, owing to the many principalities there were in these states, of which, as long as the memory of them endured, the Romans always held an insecure possession; but with the power and long continuance of the empire the memory of them passed away, and the Romans then became secure possessors. And when fighting afterwards amongst themselves, each one was able to attach to himself his own parts of the country, according to the authority he had assumed there; and the family of the former lord being exterminated, none other than the Romans were acknowledged.

白话
像法国那样贵族林立、权力分散的国家,征服后很难安稳。罗马人在西班牙、法国、希腊遇到多次叛乱,就是因为那里有许多小君主国,只要人们还记得旧主,统治就不稳。直到帝国长久存在,旧记忆淡去,罗马人才真正坐稳。后来罗马人内斗时,各人还能按自己在那里的势力拉走一块地盘;旧主家族被消灭后,人们只认罗马人。所以,分散的旧势力必须被时间或武力彻底抹去,统治才牢固。

今日一问
你试图接管一个权力分散的团队或市场时,是否低估了旧势力记忆的顽固?
