Close to the side courtyard where he was studying, there were guards at the door, two sixteen or seventeen-year-old boys, pretending to be doormen, seeing Xiao Lan coming, he hurriedly stopped him: "This general, he is studying inside, please don't trespass." ”

"Really?" Xiao Lan smiled indifferently: "Go and tell the people inside, just say that Xiao Lan of the Taiping Army is visiting." ”

"Taiping Army Xiao Lan? Yes! You are the generalissimo of Pingtian in the mouth of the Taiping Army?! The great thief who is the scourge of the world?! Hearing this, the two doormen were so frightened that they couldn't help but scream, and hurriedly turned their heads and shouted inside: "Oh no, dean, the big thief Xiao Lan is here......

"Huh?" Xiao Lan couldn't help but smile bitterly, it seems that his reputation in the scholar clan is really rotten, and it is really difficult to recruit any Wenchen strategists in the future, fortunately, he has never thought much about this, after all, if he can't recruit him, then he has to rob it!

Hearing the doorman's shout, the sound of reading inside, suddenly stopped, after a while, dozens of scribes and sons, rushed out, most of them were dressed in splendor, with a noble face, obviously from everyone's people, of course, there are also a lot of poor scholars in rough clothes, poorly dressed, looking at the thin and black face, it makes people unbearable, unexpectedly, there are still poor scholars in this Yingchuan Academy.

The first fifty-year-old man, with a serious expression, two sharp eyes, and a pair of indiscriminate eyes, like an abyss, gave people a heavy sense of depression, as if in front of him, no matter how to disguise and disguise, it was difficult to escape the eyes of the law and be seen through.

"You are Xiao Lan, the leader of the Taiping Army?" The old man touched Xu Ran with a calm expression, and asked out loud, between his words, there was an indescribable wisdom and calmness.

"Not bad." Xiao Lan smiled indifferently, and between his words, there was also an indescribable domineering, after all, unlike before, now he is already the overlord of half of the world. is also undergoing a transformation that has never been seen before, and every move is all sharp and terrifying.

"What exactly do you want to do? Isn't it enough to cause chaos in the world? It's hard to connect this small academy. Don't you want to let it go? The old man spoke in a deep voice, his eyes were full of indescribable majesty, and he coldly scolded Xiao Lan.

"Hehe, that's a joke. Ben Shuai He once said what to do with Yingchuan Academy. Xiao Lan said indifferently: "Besides, Ben Shuai also wants to state that my Taiping Army has not caused trouble in the world. ”

"What a joke." A student in Chinese costume said coldly: "If the Taiping Army did not cause trouble in the world, how could you stand here like this today and talk to us?" ”

"It's all born and raised by parents, why can't Ben Shuai stand here and talk to you?" Xiao Lan sneered, and said: "Yes, many of you are the children of the wealthy families of the Shi clan, so naturally you are high up and look down on us people from poor backgrounds. ”

As soon as this statement came out. The students in the fancy clothes couldn't help but change their faces, and some of the poor students around them glanced at him quietly, although Xiao Lan's words were suspected of sowing discord, but it was also true that these scholars looked down on the poor students.

"Humph!" The old man who spoke before couldn't help but snort coldly, "Xiao Lan, you don't want to be rampant, you invade Yuzhou." It will be known to the alliance of the princes of the Eighteen Roads, and now that the army that is crusading against you is already on the way, aren't you afraid? ”

"What is there to be afraid of?" Xiao Lan smiled indifferently. He said: "I'm not afraid to tell you that the six princes of Yuan Shu, Zhang Miao, Zhang Chao, Bao Xin, Qiao Mao and Tao Qian have returned from Sizhou, a total of 130,000, and are currently on the way to Yuzhou. ”

"Of course! Later General Yuan Shu is the fourth third prince of the Yuan family! The elite soldiers of Danyang under the command of Lord Tao Qian can be used as ten. The other four adults are also fierce soldiers, how can they be compared to a rabble of the Taiping Army! A brocade-clothed scribe of about twenty immediately sneered and said: "If I were you, I would have fled first and hid in the mountains and old forests before the official army came, maybe there would be a chance to live." ”

"Hah!" Hearing this, Xiao Lan couldn't help laughing: "Young man, your bluff is really bad, well, Yuan Shu is just a straw bag in my eyes, Tao Qian, Zhang Miao are also the ones who defend the city, Bao Xin, Qiao Mao, and Zhang Chao are just small roles." ”

A scholar of the scholar clan sneered: "Say big things! ”

"Big talk?" Xiao Lan glanced at him disdainfully, and said: "Do you know that now Qingzhou, Xuzhou, Yanzhou, Yuzhou, and Yangzhou have been completely occupied by the Taiping Army, and the commander now has 700,000 troops and 1,000 generals. ”

"Arrogance!" A student scolded: "At the beginning, Zhang Jiao led the Yellow Turban to rebel against the imperial court, and there were more than one million soldiers, but in the end, you were still defeated by the heavenly soldiers, and you Xiao Lan could not be an exception!" ”

Xiao Lan said with a smile: "The reason why Zhang Jiao's uprising failed was because the uprising plan was betrayed by traitors, so that the uprising had to be launched in a hurry, and the mutual cooperation between the rebel armies in various places had great difficulties. Second, the uprising touched the interests of the imperial court and the nobles, and attracted too many enemies to suppress it frantically. Third, his vision was too low, the Yellow Turban Army lacked strategically minded military leaders, and the formulation of its uprising plan was extremely incomplete. ”

With a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, Xiao Lan boasted: "Fourth, at that time, there were still some fierce generals in the imperial court who could fight well, and their ability to command troops, military command talents, and the use of tactics and strategies were higher than the leaders of the Yellow Turban Army, so they were often able to win more with less, defeat the strong with the weak, and finally defeat the Yellow Turban Army." Fifth, it was because although the Yellow Turban Army began to carry out a peasant uprising, after the uprising, it completely deviated from its purpose at the beginning, brutalized the peasants more frantically than the government at that time, lost the basis of the peasants' support, and completely turned into a bandit, unable to win the support of the broad masses of the people, coupled with the suppression of the government, which was the biggest reason for its failure. ”

"What a sharp mouth!" A poor student said in a deep voice: "This is the reason for the defeat of the Yellow Turban Army, but in the future, this will not be the reason for the defeat of your Taiping Army." ”

"Of course not." Xiao Lan responded with a smile and said: "Because, from the very beginning, Ben Shuai formulated a detailed policy to overthrow the imperial court, chose the best time for the uprising, kept it strictly secret, and once it broke out, it completely occupied the entire Qingzhou. Third, Ben Shuai has recruited many generals who can fight well, the army is well-trained, and the combat power is only stronger than the official army, not weaker, and fourth, when there is a great chaos today, Dong Zhuo and the princes confront Luoyang, and they have no intention of caring about anything else, and they can't gather all their strength to target the Taiping Army like they did before dealing with the Yellow Turban Army. Fifth, the Taiping Army pursued the policy of cracking down on local tyrants and dividing the land, and formulated the Taiping Constitution to govern the jurisdiction, which could protect the fundamental interests of the people to the greatest extent and win the hearts of the people, which was the capital of the Taiping Army to fight against the world's corporal clans. The Yellow Turban lost five times, and the Taiping won five times, what do you think? ”

Hearing this, the people in the academy couldn't help but be stunned, and only after a long time did one of them say: "If you kill the scholar clan indiscriminately, even if you win the world, how should you govern it?" After all, it can only let the people of Li fall into a dire situation. ”

"Hmph." Xiao Lan sneered and said: "Who said that the people must be able to govern the world, the Taiping Army has opened a department to take office, and anyone who has the ability and virtue, no matter what status, can be an official." As he spoke, he glanced at the person who spoke: "You are a member of the Lai family, you are very hard, your family has greatly violated the Taiping Constitution by oppressing the people and disregarding people's lives in the past. ”

"Ahh Hearing this, the student couldn't help but scream in his mouth, and then the whole person fell backwards suddenly, he pointed at Xiao Lan, and said in his mouth: "You, you, how dare you?" ”

Xiao Lan said with a smile: "I know, your Lai family's protégés are all over the world, so what, the prince is guilty of the same crime as the common people, is it because your Lai family is powerful that you can get away with it?" He snorted coldly, and said indifferently: "Come to class, everyone, I want to see what Yingchuan Academy will teach students, self-cultivation and Qi family rule the country and the world?" Slimming this point, it seems that it is not very good? The Qi family is even more vain, the families where the vast majority of the students here belong have committed a lot of crimes to a greater or lesser extent, so let's talk about governing the country, who will come first? ”

Everyone was stunned when they heard this, especially the scholars of the Shi clan, most of them looked at Xiao Lan with resentment, and some of them were full of shame, in contrast, the poor students no longer had their initial disgust for Xiao Lan, but there were still some instinctive resistance left, and they watched this change coldly.

At this moment, the old man who was directly confronted by Xiao Lan snorted coldly, and said indifferently: "Since Generalissimo Xiao wants to test your studies, then you should let Generalissimo Xiao give advice and advice, and let him know that there are many scholars in the world, and there is a reason for him." ”

"What's so hard about that!" A scholar immediately raised his voice and said: "Those who govern the country should love the people, make the people use the country, light conscription, key taxes, and the people will be safe." ”

"It is precisely that in the past, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, deposed the hundred schools, and respected Confucianism alone, so that all industries were revitalized, the country and the people were safe, and my Han Dynasty was admired by all nations, dominating one side, and Confucianism was the only and best choice for governing the country." This time it was a scribe in his twenties, with a delicate face and attentive eyes, and while this person was speaking, he did not forget to glance at Xiao Lan, with both curiosity and fear in his eyes.
