Chapter 187: More Understanding
Unexpectedly met Gao Yu and Lu Qian, Wu Song felt that after he crossed over, history had really changed.
The order in which everything develops will not be at all what was written in the book of the previous life.
He took Pan Jinlian and returned to his residence, where he had Xu Fu and Xu Yan's father and daughter serve him carefully. Pan Jinlian went to rest, and Wu Song, according to the usual practice, insisted on practicing a section of the "Dharma Heart Sutra", and read a section of "Situ's Testament", and then went to bed to rest.
Lying on the bed, I saw the dissolved moonlight shining in through the window, sprinkling on the ground in front of the window, a silvery white.
"Moonlight in front of the bed,
Suspected frost on the ground.
Raise your head to look at the bright moon,
Bow your head and think of your hometown. β
The current Wu Song is a man who is born brave and practices martial arts, not a sentimental poor literati. However, this situation still reminded him of the ancient poems that he would recite when he was only a few years old before the crossing.
It's just that his hometown is not just in the countryside of Qinghe County, thousands of miles away, but in Changsha thousands of years later!
After crossing over, he experienced such things, especially the feeling of traveling in Bianjing City in the past few days, which made Wu Song think a lot in his heart at this time.
Now Bianjing is prosperous; The current Great Song Dynasty is peaceful and prosperous. However, as a traverser, Wu Song knew that if history did not change, then, in a few years, the Jin soldiers would go south and the Northern Song Dynasty would perish. All the prosperity in this Bianliang city will become a dream in an instant, and the people of the Great Song Dynasty, who are accustomed to a peaceful life, will ruin the country and destroy their families, and countless people will fall into the tragic fate of being slaves of the country, either death or becoming slaves of different races!
If that happens, not only other people of the Great Song Dynasty, but also Wu Song, Pan Jinlian, and his brother Wu Dalang will also have a miserable fate!
Especially his brother Wu Dalang, such a short person, he can still make a living by selling cooking cakes in the peaceful era, but in the troubled times, can he still survive?
Therefore, at this moment, Wu Song understood the path he wanted to take after crossing over.
Before the crossing, I had seen many crossings. Those modern time-travelers often rely on the knowledge asymmetry of later generations to soar in the post-travel era. For example, some people often rely on some scientific and technological knowledge and business knowledge of later generations to get rich in business, get promoted and make a fortune in history.
However, now that he is a traverser, Wu Song knows that it is actually delusional. After all, in this era, there is no patent protection, and there is no perfect market economy. Moreover, Wu Song himself is not a person who is good at business.
Some traversers relied on some classic poems and songs learned by later generations to shock the world and get ahead in history. However, this does not apply to Wu Song either. First, he was not the kind of sour literati himself before he crossed over, and he couldn't remember how many poems and songs, and second, after crossing over, he found that later generations thought that the classic poems and songs were actually too advanced in this era, and it was impossible for them to really be liked by people.
In this era, there are outstanding people such as Su Shi, Wang Anshi, Li Qingzhao, Sima Guang, Ouyang Xiu, and Fan Zhongyan, especially according to historical deduction, Su Shi should have died not long ago, and the talented woman Li Qingzhao is still alive. Under their brilliance, can a person who has traveled through later generations really be recognized and loved by people by remembering a few poems and songs?
Wu Song can't go through this road. Obviously, Wu Song now has the "Dharma Heart Sutra" and the "Situ Testament". The only way he can go is to rely on martial arts and strategy to make contributions.
He should cheer up, hoping to be able to rely on his martial arts cultivation and master Cui Hao's strategic wisdom, so as to rise step by step and rise rapidly in this era, so that he can have the strength to change the political and military pattern of the Great Song Dynasty, change the fate of the Great Song Dynasty, and let the prosperous and peaceful Song Dynasty not collapse so quickly!
After all, the fall of the Northern Song Dynasty had a profound impact on Chinese history, and even the modern Chinese nation was almost wiped out under the invasion of foreign powers, and there are also national culture and psychological genes planted by the fall of the Northern Song Dynasty!
What's more, only by maintaining the prosperity and peace of the Great Song Dynasty can it be possible to live a good life for himself and his elder brothers Wu Dalang and Pan Jinlian. By the way, there are also those people of this era who I liked before I crossed over, including Lin Chong's lady, including Li Qingzhao, and so on, all of whom changed their fate.
At this moment, Wu Song understood the path he was going to take better.
Therefore, early the next morning, he decided to go to the South Kaoru Gate.
Pan Jinlian knew what he was going to do, and was very confused, and said, "Brother Wu Song, there is something to say that a good man should not be a soldier. You also said yesterday that you don't want to be a forbidden army, why do you want to go today? β
Wu Song said: "I thought about it carefully last night. For people like me, it is not possible to go to school and rely on the champion, nor can they do business, let alone go back to the countryside to farm. Since someone is willing to take care of me, let's go and see, starting from the forbidden army, it is not impossible to establish a military industry, and there is also a path to rise! β
Pan Jinlian said: "That, Brother Da Langγγγγγγ β
Wu Song said: "Don't worry. That's why I decided to go to the Forbidden Army. If you become a forbidden army and have an official and a half-position, it will naturally be more convenient to find someone in this Bianjing City. β
Pan Jinlian said: "However, you clearly said that the person who recommended you to participate in the special selection of the forbidden army yesterday is a bad person!" β
Wu Song smiled: "He may really be a big bad guy." However, at least for now, this big bad guy has not harmed me, but has been useful to me and can help me, so why should I refuse? β
As a traverser, although Wu Song knew that Gao Yu was a big traitor, he would not refuse to take advantage of his power to let himself develop first.
After all, Gao Yu is bad, and it is not necessarily that Wu Song will follow him in the future. What's more, there is an example in front of him: Cai Jing is a traitor, but as Cai Jing's protΓ©gΓ©, Xu En, the county governor of Qinghe, is generally still a rare official with feelings for the people and reform aspirations.
Pan Jinlian understood Wu Song's plan, so naturally she would not dissuade him. In fact, now she is only Wu Song, even if she follows Wu Song to break into the sword mountain and the sea of fire, she will go.
However, Wu Song went to participate in the special selection of the forbidden army, so it was naturally inconvenient to take her there.
When you come to Nanxun Gate, there is already a long queue here. There were a lot of people who came to participate in the special selection of the forbidden army.
It seems that Gao Yu did not deceive Wu Song. If the general forbidden army recruits people, people are often afraid to avoid them. At that time, only those who committed crimes would be assigned to the army as soldiers, and who would want to be a soldier in a normal family? After all, in the peaceful years, what do you do at home to make a living, and you don't have to be a soldier?
But this special selection of the forbidden army has attracted many people to come.
Moreover, Wu Song could see at a glance that almost all of the people who came to participate in this special selection of the forbidden army were good-looking, and they seemed to have some ability. Among them, there are many people who are richly dressed and are actually children of wealthy families, and they also want to participate in the special selection.
