Chapter XXXIX

The sea breeze blows gently and the sun rises high. The Haimen Village Navy Camp is facing another sunny day.

"Ah~~~!" A terrible scream made everyone who fainted last night gradually wake up from their coma. Many people opened their eyes to see a bloody picture that they had never seen in their lives, and the tent was full of blood clots that had hardened and blackened, and there were dots of yellowish-white * in between. From time to time, someone screamed and found that half of his head was on his body, and at this time, Chaoyang Zhixian also slowly woke up, and touched his head as if something was on his hair. When I grabbed it, it was actually an eyeball that fell on my head, and Chaoyang Zhixian screamed in surprise and immediately fainted again.

The outside of the big tent was brisk and not optimistic, and I saw that the soldiers were all cut down to the ground. There were traces of a lot of blood flowing everywhere on the ground, and many soldiers were actually split in half.

Pi Yang felt that someone was calling him, and when he opened his eyes weakly, he saw the head of his own soldier with a bloody face. He immediately grabbed his head and shook it and asked, "Tell me!" Was it true last night? ”

The soldiers all nodded with tears in their heads and said, "Yes, everything was true last night, the general!" ”

Pi Yang quickly got up and stumbled behind the screen of the big tent, and when he saw the deep pit on the ground, he screamed: "Really! Last night was actually true~~! Oh my! Why don't you let me die, my money! Oh my God~~! ”

In Chaozhou City, Liren laughed loudly after getting new information, which made Chen Lin and the others at a loss. Chen Lin asked incomprehensibly: "Lord, how is this matter developing?" ”

"Good! It's just great! Ha ha! Everything went very smoothly. Unexpectedly, Haimen Village, which we always thought was impregnable, didn't hold on for even half an hour, and was captured by our people. The general whose name was Piyang actually saw Dasha's fierce appearance and sold Qin Cha. Ha ha! Li Ren was so happy in his heart that he laughed out loud without showing off the funny incident in the intelligence.

Chen Lin glared at his disbelieving eyes and asked, "What, the general actually dares to sell the Qin Mission?" ”

"Sold the chincha? How is it sold? Zhang Hu asked Zhang Lei in a whisper on the side, Zhang Lei knew a little bit of the inside story, and said to Zhang Hu with a smile: "Don't ask, listen to the lord, you will know everything in a while." It was just funny. Ha ha! Zhang Lei thought of the incident of the general's betrayal of the Qincha, and he couldn't help but cover his mouth and laugh.

Li Ren also saw Zhang Lei's private smile at this time, but he didn't criticize Zhang Lei for not behaving, but instructed Zhang Lei: "Zhang Lei, you tell me about that matter, so that everyone can be happy." After the order, Rihito returned to the desk and picked up the teacup and took a sip.

After Zhang Lei hugged his fists and received his life, he spoke and acted, telling the story of General Pi selling Qin Cha just to save his life. Chen Lin, Zhang Hu and others laughed heartily, and Li Ren also accompanied everyone to laugh again.

After everyone was happy, with an unfinished smile on their faces, Chen Lin calmed down his mood and said, "Hey! Why are the soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty so weak now, and there are often such things as selling out for glory? ”

"That's right! Why is that? Fang Ning also said with emotion at this time.

The others had never experienced such a thing, but they all felt the heavy mood of Chen Lin and Fang Ning. At this time, Liren stood up and walked in front of everyone and said: "Throughout the ages, how many dynasties have changed, these villains who sell their masters and seek glory are indispensable, but there have also been many loyal ministers and righteous people. But why do many insiders rebel against the enemy in the rivers and mountains established by our Han people? However, the recently destroyed Jin State is resolutely resisting to the end. Why? ”

Everyone is thinking now, and there is no certain answer in everyone's mind. At this time, Fang Ning said: "Is our system not good, so that these people don't like it or are forced? ”

"Yes! Neither is it! Rihito said as he looked at the soldier standing straight outside the door.

Chen Lin asked, "Why is this?" ”

Li Ren smiled slightly and said, "You all know the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, right? ”

Chen Lin and Fang Ning, who had already studied, nodded, and only Zhang Lei and Zhang Hu shook their heads. Li Ren smiled and said: "At the end of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the Qin Empire unified Kyushu. destroyed countless countries, and finally he burned books and pit Confucianism to unify Kyushu culture. However, within a few years, the remnants of various countries rose up against Qin. Why is that? Could it be that the system is bad? Speaking of which, Rihito looked at everyone and saw that they were all attentive, and he continued: "No! At that time, only the user could serve the purpose of stabilizing the parties. But why did the Qin Dynasty end up being shouted and beaten by everyone, this is because the system is no longer applicable. ”

After hearing Liren's words, everyone couldn't figure it out, and Fang Ning arched his hand and asked, "Lord!" Why is the system that worked so well at that time no longer applicable? ”

"Huh! You sit down and listen to me first, the system of the Qin Dynasty was very practical at the beginning, and it could quickly stabilize the rising forces of all parties, but the people were just working hard for his family, which made life difficult for everyone. In the end, the people did not have the minimum food and clothing guarantee, so they had to take risks, so that eight out of ten people in the world were against him. However, none of these people surrendered to countries other than Qin. After walking back to the case, Liren drank tea and moistened his throat: "This is a forced rebellion, not surrender." Therefore, they are forced to rebel only one way, and will not easily surrender to the enemy. ”

"When did surrender begin? This starts from the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. At that time, when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty's father was still in power, he used the Laozi doctrine and ruled by inaction. The people of the world have lived and worked in peace and contentment, and they have reached the level of not closing their doors at night. Rijen paused.

Chen Lin said: "This is very good, the people have finally gained peace after years of war. ”

"Yes! He was at peace, but he was humiliated by other countries. Li Ren retorted in time: "It is a very shameful thing for a big country to be bullied by a small country. However, the emperor at that time used the national policy set by Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty many years ago, is this also wrong, it turns out that the national policy at that time was indeed very wrong. So ushered in the reformists, Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. Li Ren smiled at this moment, looked at Chen Lin and then at Fang Ning and said, "Do you know what I'm going to say?" ”

"Is the lord going to talk about Confucianism?" Chen Lin was the first to react, and said without surprise.

"That's right! But I don't know that Mr. Chen and Mr. Fang are the protΓ©gΓ©s of Master Confucius? Liren also had to take care of his subordinates, so he hurriedly asked first.

"Huh! Although the lord said that neither of us is a true Confucian, and I am still a faithful member of the Legalists. Fang Ning spoke first and told the truth.

Rihito nodded and said, "Hmm! Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty replaced Taoism with Confucianism, which immediately made a leap forward in national power, and finally defeated the Xiongnu and drove them out of the vast steppe. He created a great page, but his descendants were slowly made by Confucianism to be uncivilized and unmartial, so that they were finally replaced by the Western Jin Dynasty. After several hundred years, the Tang Dynasty finally unified Kyushu, and they also prospered in Confucianism and finally lost to Confucianism. Let's talk about the current Great Song Dynasty, what did they lose to? ”

"It's still Confucian. When the Jin Kingdom did not enter the Central Plains, the cavalry and archery were very fast and the combat power was good. In the end, it was Confucianism that made them unable to fight with their hands and shoulders, so that they were finally destroyed by the Yuan people. Until now, many of the true Confucians and great Confucians in these dynasties have done very well in learning. But every time it comes to me that it is time to do things for the people, I always shirk it, and it is difficult to be confused about what to say. Whenever they surrendered to the enemy, they always said that there are virtuous people in the world. Whenever the country is about to die, it is the Confucian who surrenders first, and then in turn says that the rise and fall of the dynasty is determined by freedom. I would like to ask what is a day? God still cares about the change of your dynasty? What else is a virtuous person? ”

Speaking of this, Liren sighed very depressedly: "This is Confucianism, this is true Confucianism." Confucianism has emasculated the blood of the nation and constantly encroached on the dignity of the nation. It castrates not only us but also other races, and even all peoples who come into contact with Confucianism. But why did every emperor use it? It's because it's so good that you are unconsciously blinded by its doctrine and obediently become a little sheep. When the wolf comes, you can only wait to be eaten slightly, and it can also let you learn what groveling is, what is a real minion~! Li Ren finally spit out the depression in his heart, and then he said: "This is the truth of the traitor, or the ultimate truth, it is the traitor who single-handedly created the country and the nation by Confucianism!" ”

"Isn't there anything to be gained in Confucianism?" Chen Lin asked a little disbelievingly.

"Yes! It has merit, and its merit is to make it easier for the people to be ruled by the emperors. Liren said indignantly.

Chen Lin was still a little unbelieving and asked: "Is the strategy of Confucian generals people-oriented wrong?" ”

Li Ren was stunned for a moment and said: "Yes, Confucianism is right for the people, and it is precisely because it has a very right side that it can blind people's minds. ”

Fang Ning said with a smile at this time: "We all know what the lord is thinking now, that is, let the good side of Confucianism be used by me, and the bad side will be abandoned by me." Is it? Lord! ”

After hearing what Fang Ning said, Li Ren suddenly became enlightened, and immediately nodded and said, "Yes!" A good sentence is used by me and rejected by me. Mr. Fang really got to the point. ”

At this time, everyone was happy, and Chen Lin repeatedly considered Liren's opinions, and thought carefully in combination with his more than ten years of Confucianism.

At this time, Li Ren saw that everyone's mood was made heavy by the lecture just now, and immediately said loudly to everyone: "Okay, that's all for today's discussion, and we will discuss the revision in detail later." Now everyone's main task is to wait, wait for the will of the court, and then we are deciding what to do next. Speaking of this, Li Ren said to Fang Ning: "Mr. Fang has to work hard, and he must get information before the imperial court's will is conveyed here." ”

"It's the lord!" Fang Ning bowed down.

Li Ren turned to Mr. Chen and said, "Mr. Chen, don't worry about what we just said now, just remember that only when we are in charge can we change the current situation in one step." So what we have to do now is to continue to build up our strength. Besides, we will not have to face the attack of the Yuan people from the north in the future, so please cheer up and work hard for our cause. ”

"It's my lord! Chen has been taught! Chen Lin said with respect for Liren.
