Lu Yizhong and Yan Hongkui only heard a burst of explosions outside, followed by a burst of gunshots, and the sound was accompanied by a few screams, and the two immediately understood that there should be another force intervening, and it was very likely that it was the Fu Han Army, otherwise it would be impossible to make such a mistake at the juncture.

It's just that the explosions and gunshots are very dense, which shows the fierceness of the battle, and Lu Yi can't help but be a little worried

He called his family members to hide in the backyard, thinking that if the Qing army won, he would go with them at that time, and the women, children, and children in this courtyard would not be able to suffer from this disaster.

"Senior brother, if the Fu Han army fails to rescue us, I'm afraid it will confirm our crimes....."

After all, Yan Hongkui is just a scholar, although he has always adhered to the ambition of opposing the Qing Dynasty, but now that the matter is coming, he can't help but feel remorse, he is not worried about himself, after all, it is okay to die at a great age, but if it affects the family of the ancestor Lu Liuliang, it is really a big sin.

After a while, the sound of guns gradually subsided, but Lu Yizhong himself was not so worried, he had gradually calmed down, and sighed softly: "The Fu Han army can win a hundred battles on the battlefield, presumably it must have some skill, we should be fine, just for the sake of prudence, it is better to be more careful." ”

When the gunfire completely stopped, before Lu Yizhong sent someone to check the situation, he saw a family member running into the study in a panic, his face was blue and red, and his legs and stomach were shaking.

"Master, the officers and soldiers are dead...... They waited outside the gate of the mansion, saying that they were in the name of the governor of the Fu Han Army, and took the old man and the old man to Jiangning......"

When Lu Yizhong heard this, his heart relaxed, and if the Fu Han army won, it would naturally be easy to say everything. It's just that after saving his life, he looked at his ancestral house again, but he couldn't help sighing......

The next day, more than 60 members of the Lu family were escorted by the military intelligence department of the Fu Han Army, all the way to the north.

For the Lu family, this experience is like a dream, just after yesterday's fierce battle, after the Lu family opened the door tremblingly, they immediately smelled an air full of gunsmoke, mixed with a faint smell of blood, and when they looked up again, they saw a dense pile of dead bodies lying in front of the house, and many men in grass clothes were mending knives, which was the most terrifying scene in the world.

Thankfully, that's all in the past.

In the carriage, Lu Siniang snuggled up to Lu Yizhong's side, she secretly glanced at the man in straw clothes sitting next to her from time to time, but found that the man happened to turn his head to look at her, with a smile on his face, but Lu Siniang was startled, so he quickly lowered his head.

Lu Yizhong glanced at the man and said loudly: "Thanks to your timely rescue this time, otherwise my Lu family may have completely disappeared." ”

The man smiled slightly, "The Metropolitan Governor knew that the Lu family was in danger and was very worried, so he sent me and others to help, Mr. is not polite." As he spoke, he glanced at Lu Siniang again.

Lu Yizhong sighed in a low voice and said: "My junior brother is acting recklessly, sooner or later the army will be able to pacify Zhejiang, and when the time comes, it will not be too late for my Lu family to come to the army of the Fu Han Dynasty, why do you need to make today's danger?"

When the man heard this, he laughed, but he saw that Lu Yizhong was a little puzzled, so he explained: "Although Lord Zeng is reckless this time, it can be regarded as a coincidence, in fact, even if there is no letter, the officials in Zhejiang will not let go of the Lu family, this gentleman should know better in his heart." ”

Lu Yi thought about it carefully in the center, it is indeed this principle, the Lu family is a Confucian sect in the south of the Yangtze River, and it has always adhered to the great ambition of opposing the Qing Dynasty, I am afraid that the Qing court has been under surveillance for a long time, if it is really waiting for the Fu Han army to come over, I am afraid that the family will not be able to escape imprisonment. It's just that when I heard that this ordinary man could see the situation so thoroughly, I was a little puzzled in my heart.

"Haven't asked Mr. Daimyo yet?" Lu Yizhong saluted very politely.

The man sighed slightly, "Originally, I joined the MIA, and this name can't be revealed to others, but the contemptible person will leave the MI in a few days, so it doesn't hurt to tell Mr. ”

"Gan Fengchi? Was it the Jiangnan hero who only carried a cow in his hand? ”

Lu Yizhong looked shocked, it was obvious that he was no stranger to the name Gan Fengchi.

Gan Fengchi's face was slightly ashamed, he was obviously not used to others praising him like this, and said humbly: "It's just some false fame, and it can't compare to the real heroes in this world." ”

"I know who the true heroes of this world are!" Lu Siniang, who had been eavesdropping, suddenly interjected, her little face turned red, and she said excitedly: "A character like the Grand Governor is a true hero in this world!" ”

Lu Yizhong and Gan Fengchi glanced at each other, but they laughed together, "Siniang, but you tell me, what kind of true hero is the Metropolitan Governor?" ”

Speaking of which, in today's Qing Dynasty, Ning Yu's image is quite unusual, and many words have written the story of Ning Yu, what wisdom fights Peach Blossom Mountain, what breaks the Qing soldiers, and even the story of Ning Yu and the Holy Maiden of the White Lotus Sect has been put into it, and a little lady like Lu Siniang likes to listen to such exciting stories every day.

Thinking of this, Lu Siniang was a little excited and proud, and told the two of them what she heard on weekdays, but Lu Yizhong and Gan Fengchi were dumbfounded, then Lu Yizhong had never seen Ning Yu after all, so he was only half-convinced, but after Gan Fengchi heard it, he was a little dumbfounded.

Gan Fengchi sighed softly: "I joined the Fu Han Army after the Jiangnan War, and later the Metropolitan Governor personally met me, so although I didn't stay with the Metropolitan Governor for too long, I also knew what kind of person he was." ”

"Everyone in the world thinks that the Metropolitan Governor is the god of war, and he came to the world with the mission of overthrowing the Qing court, in order to poke a big hole in this black and oppressive sky! However, I think this sentence is true, but it is not comprehensive. ”

"The contemptible governor of Dadu, he treats the Qing court cruelly and ruthlessly to the enemy, but he treats the small people so mercifully...... He can obviously enjoy more luxurious use, but he always saves and saves, but when he treats the soldiers below and the people, he can't wait to give them a better life....."

Gan Fengchi thought about it while whispering, and finally sighed and said, "It's a pity that the contemptible people have stayed in Dadu for too short a time, and I haven't been able to learn more...... But after a while, the contemptible people will have a chance......" Saying this, Gan Fengchi quickly reflected that he had violated the ban, and fell into silence again.

But his narration made the young Lu Siniang a little more curious about Ning Yu's image.

In the city of Jiangning, the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion.

"Metropolitan Governor, this operation was a great success, the Military Intelligence Department sent two action teams, led by Gan Fengchi, and defeated the officers and soldiers sent by the Qing court to arrest the Lu family, and now they are already on the way back."

Shi Xue's face was a little proud, although there were also shadows to assist in this operation, but the main one was the action team of the Military Intelligence Department, and the matter was done quite cleanly, and next time in front of Ning Luoyuan, there would be something to say.

Although the MI is separated from the shadows, now under Shi Xue's leadership, it has gradually developed its own style, just like there will be assassinations and other activities on both sides that need to be carried out, but the MI has a vigorous and resolute style, pays more attention to efficiency, and does not hesitate to sacrifice everything to complete the task. The shadow is more secretive, paying attention to killing with one hit, and leaving no traces of things.

Ning Yu nodded slightly, his expression relaxed slightly, Jiangnan Lu family can be preserved, it is a great thing for the Fu Han army, after all, in Jiangnan at present, the merchant is already caged under his own banner, and now with the Lu family, the hearts of this Jiangnan Shilin people have also been won over.

"When the Lu family arrives, they need to be settled, and they can meet any needs as much as possible, but they can't chill their hearts...."Ning Yu picked up the brush and thought about writing a few words, but put it down again.

"The hearts of the people of Jiangnan Shilin are not so difficult to grasp, and when the Metropolitan Governor completely calms the south, they will naturally regard our Han Army as a Zhengshuo ....."

Li Fu has a smile on his face, he is a master of Confucianism, and he knows better what kind of existence Confucianism is, to put it bluntly, as long as his fist is big, he can make them bow their heads. Of course, buying people's hearts is naturally also to be bought, but that is not a big deal after all.

But the idea in Ning Yu's heart is not just that simple, he knows that in this era, it is very naïve and ridiculous to want to completely abolish Confucianism, and it is also unrealistic to want to do it, of course, there is no need for this. However, if Confucianism is allowed to continue to develop, even if it replaces the Qing Dynasty, it will only make the original story repeated.

Reform begins with ideology and education.

"I have often thought that the development of this situation at the end of the Ming Dynasty is not just a family and a surname, thinking that the hundreds of millions of Li Shu people, if they can be turned into help, the world will be invincible, and Manchuria will not be able to enter the Central Plains with tens of thousands of people..... At the end of the day, Confucianism can be problematic. ”

This sentence is that Ning Yu can say it so bluntly, if another person says this, I am afraid that he will be drowned by the spit of the people who read all over the world, dare to say that there is a problem with Confucianism? Isn't this smashing the big guy's job!

Li Fu said in a low voice: "What the Metropolitan Governor said is also reasonable, but Confucianism is a big matter, but it is not something that can be touched now. To fight the world, we must fight for the hearts of the people, and even more importantly, we must fight for the hearts of scholars. This sentence seems to be in conflict with the previous one, but in fact, it is telling Ning Yu that he doesn't need to care too much about the Lu family, because sooner or later they will bow their heads, but they can't touch it at will, otherwise they will offend the people who are all over the world.

Speaking of this set of play, there was no problem at all before modern times, and winning over the gentry and scholars can basically ensure the peace of the world, which is a very realistic logic, because only these people have soldiers, food, money, and righteousness in their hands, and only these people can threaten the emperor, so these people need to be pulled and beaten, and what is needed is some Confucian things.

However, with the advent of the great era, when the Westerners brought ships and cannons to the country, this set of Confucian logic did not work, because the root of this set was self-castration, and it was to choose the weak internal way to ensure the stability of the foundation. If there is no threat from the outside world, this set can be played for hundreds or even thousands of years, but once it encounters an external threat, it becomes vulnerable.

Ning Yu couldn't help but sigh, no matter how Li Fu understood the logic of this set, he was only a person of this era, and his vision could not be separated from the limitations of this era. Do you want Ning Yu to tell him that in more than a hundred years, the Westerners will come with strong ships and cannons?

"As for Confucianism, it is naturally impossible for us to put it aside, which is not conducive to our unity....."

It is impossible for Ningyu to completely abandon Confucianism, because in this era, Confucianism and Western religion have actually played a similar effect, although the two are far from each other, but the key significance of Confucianism in the current society cannot be denied.

It is precisely because of the existence of Confucianism that today's China can be condensed into a nation and a country, and the idea of great unification ensures the great unification of Chinese civilization.

Besides, without Confucianism, it would be impossible for Ning Yu to come up with a new guiding ideology to fill the gap, not to mention that all the intellectuals who originally believed in Confucianism would also become the enemies of the Han Army, and even go to splitting, a scene that Ning Yu did not want to see.

"The collapse of the Ming Dynasty is not only a problem of Confucianism, but it is also necessary to realize that Confucianism actually needs to be reformed at the moment, otherwise we will have problems in the future....."

Ning Yu carefully considered the words, "The Lu family is an excellent chess piece that we will use to fight against the Kong family in the future, with the existence of the Lu family, the Fu Han army can bring the southern Shilin under its banner as much as possible, and it will be able to compete with the northern Shilin." Especially after the Lu family, the Fu Han army was also able to gradually transform Confucianism into an advanced doctrine adapted to this era. ”

Li Fu is a smart person, he quickly understood Ning Yu's subtext, these words were not actually what Ning Yu told him, but the information that Li Fu needed to pass on to the Lu family. These words can't be said directly by Ning Yu in person, because there are many things that can be done but can't be said, and if you say it, you will fall behind.

"The subordinates understand...... I am willing to do my best to live up to the expectations of the Grand Governor. ”

Li Fu had three points of surprise and seven points of helplessness on his face, he knew where Ning Yu's determination was, maybe the entire Jiangnan Shilin would usher in new changes and impacts in the future, and the Lu family and his Li Fu would also become the forefront of facing the impact...... But if the transformation is successful, their status will also become Dong Zhongshu and the like.

It's just that there are some things in it, but it has to make Li Fu tremble. It's not usually difficult to get started in the classics left by our ancestors, but it's still quite exciting to think about it the other way.......
