Chapter 4 Rebellion is to be killed

Now is the fifth year of Wanli, Wanli Zhongxing, the last glory of the Ming Dynasty, the most famous thing in the Wanli period is the "Wanli Three Great Marches" and "Wanli Slack".

The Three Great Expeditions of Wanli refer to the three large-scale military campaigns launched in the northwest and southwest frontiers of the Ming Dynasty and Korea during the Wanli period.

They were the Ningxia battle in the twentieth year of Wanli when Li Rusong pacified the Mongols and rebelled; In the twentieth year of Wanli, Li Rusong and Ma Gui fought against the invasion of the Japanese Toyotomi Hideyoshi regime in Korea; and the Battle of Banzhou, in which Li Hualong pacified the rebellion of Yang Yinglong, the Tusi of Miao Territory, in the 27th year of Wanli, these three great wars consolidated the territory of China and maintained the dominant position of the Ming Dynasty in East Asia.

In fact, the large-scale military operations of the Wanli period also included the Ming-Burma War in the 11th year of Wanli, and the Battle of Sarhu in the 47th year of Wanli and the Later Jin, but both times the Ming Dynasty was defeated.

Wanli negligence refers to the fact that since the end of autumn and the beginning of winter in the 14th year of Wanli, Mingshenzong has been seriously neglecting his administration, not receiving ministers for a long time, not enjoying the temple in person, not engaging in the feast for a long time, and not dealing with the minister's negligence in a timely manner.

The efficiency of dealing with government affairs in the later period of Wanli was reduced, and his health also had a lot to do with it, and in the later period of his reign, he often could not deal with the government due to illness and sent a message to the auxiliary ministers.

During the Wanli period, foreign wars continued, seriously depleting the national strength of the Ming Dynasty, and there was Wanli neglecting the government, the national strength of the Ming Dynasty was plummeting, coupled with natural and man-made disasters, and the country was lost in just a few decades.

Fang Nan didn't know how much of the historical materials were true and how much were false, they were all compiled by later generations, even if it was compiled by this dynasty, it could be false, but Fang Nan can now experience the real history firsthand.

There are always children and even young people in the village who want to know what the outside world is like, and in the mouths of the elderly, the outside world is a world of "people eating people".

The landlords were trying to encroach on the peasants' land, and the peasants who had lost their land became tenants, who could only rent the landlord's land or work for the landlord, and were oppressed by the landlords in various ways.

The harvest year is better, even if you can't eat enough, you can live, once it comes to the disaster year, starvation is a common thing, in order not to starve to death, the common people can only sell their children.

Although the life of Qingshanzhai is poorer, it is good that everyone can eat enough in the harvest year, and they can barely survive in the disaster year.

No one wants to live in isolation, but the reality makes them drag their families and flee into the mountains, at least everyone can still survive by hiding here, and staying in the outside world will only be squeezed clean little by little.

Thinking about the history of the Ming Dynasty and recalling the life of the past twelve years, Fang Nan knew what he should do, for himself, for the sake of nearly 100 households in Qingshanzhai, Fang Nan wanted to let himself and the people of Qingshanzhai live a good life.

Fang Nan has not yet set his goal on the whole world, even if he is an extraordinary person, there is no way to ascend to the heights, and the people of the whole world can obey his call and overthrow the powerful Ming Dynasty.

However, the reality only leaves Fang Nan with one way, and without household registration, the people of Qingshanzhai can only embark on the road of rebellion if they want to live a good life.

It is very difficult to overthrow the Ming Dynasty from scratch, but for a traverser, the rebellion is the possibility of success, natural disasters and man-made disasters at the end of the Ming Dynasty, peasant uprisings from all walks of life, it was Li Zicheng's army that invaded Beijing and destroyed the Ming Dynasty.

The life of the common people at the end of the Ming Dynasty was not good, and the life of the common people is also not good now, the common people who occupy the largest number of people in the world, as long as they oppose the Ming Dynasty, then the Ming Dynasty does not need to exist.

However, how to get the common people to rise up against the Ming Dynasty is a big problem, even if as the owner of Qingshan Village, Fang Nan said, "We want to rebel and live a good life", there will not be a person in the village who is willing to rebel with Fang Nan, but thinks that Fang Nan is crazy.

Grandpa Fang Nan led a group of people who couldn't survive to escape into the mountains, if Grandpa Fang Nan wanted to take them to rebel at that time, then there would not be many people who followed Grandpa Fang Nan.

The common people don't know how to read and don't understand any big truths, but they all know that "rebellion is to kill the head", and Grandpa Fang Nan also knows this sentence, so Grandpa Fang Nan chose to lead this group of people to flee into the mountains.

Now the people of Qingshanzhai can at least get by, and no one is willing to risk the "crime of killing their heads" to rebel.

Fang Nan thought about it, but he thought of a way to make Qingshanzhai rebel with him: open the people's wisdom!

For the feudal dynasty, the lack of knowledge of the foolish people is best managed, as long as the foolish people know that "rebellion is to kill the head", only let the foolish people have something to eat, they will be quiet, which is conducive to the feudal dynasty to rule the world.

To open the people's wisdom is to let the foolish people understand all kinds of knowledge and truths, so that they can understand that "water can carry a boat and can also overturn a boat", they are water, and the monarch is a boat; Let them understand that all men are created equal, and they should not be oppressed and exploited by the landlords.

Writing is the method of recording knowledge and truth, obviously, to open the people's wisdom first need to let the people read and write, in the process of reading and literacy, you can learn a lot of knowledge and truth.

Fang Nan wanted to teach the people of Qingshanzhai to read and write, the key is that Fang Nan had never been exposed to books and words in the twelve years of his life, no one taught him, and he did not show the talent of "born to know" at a very young age.

At this time, the role of "foolish people" is revealed, compared with modern people, even the people of the Ming Dynasty, even scholars, magnates, and monarchs are "foolish people", and it is very easy to fool.

The simplest is the example of "gods descending to earth", which emerged in an endless stream in ancient times, the most famous is the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, it doesn't matter if the high-level of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom does not believe it, as long as the people at the bottom believe it, through this method to fool the common people, gather the common people, and fight against the Qing Dynasty together.

Fang Nan can say that in the three days that he passed out, he followed his grandfather to live in another world for thirty years, and learned a lot of things in that world, including words.

Now Fang Nan tells the people of Qingshanzhai about this matter, depicts another world, and writes words, then the people of Qingshanzhai will easily believe in this matter, and at the same time of believing in this matter, because of Fang Nan's "encounter", Fang Nan is no longer an ordinary person in the eyes of others, and has some prestige in the village.

After thinking things out, Fang Nan began to become abnormal in the eyes of the others in the village, who can fly in the sky, what does not need people to pull the cart led by cattle and horses, and what tools can transmit sound for thousands of miles.

The adults thought that what Fang Nan was talking was nonsense, but the children liked to listen to it very much.
