Chapter 664: Zhang Kewang Liang Rises
PS: Please pay attention to the 428399767 of the book friends group. In addition, the brother in the book review area, yes, I also returned my river and mountain 1929.
Zhang Kewang's personal soldier leader Liu Qi is the same as Zhang Kewang and Zhang Dingguo, they are all children who grew up under the command of the Eight Kings of Xiying. However, today, it is as if a door has been opened, and he has a feeling of being cheerful and seeing a new world.
On the wooden board dyed with white ash, Wu Xing, who lectured and taught the apprentices, kept writing lines of big characters on it with the brush in his hand, and then led everyone to read. It was nothing else, but a few words made Liu Qi's mind feel as if he had been struck by a bolt of lightning.
The first line says that if you don't eat for seven days, you will die, and below is that the cultivator has his land, and the last line is that the officials and gentry will pay grain in one place with rent and interest reduction.
"If you don't eat for seven days, you die? The cultivator has his field? Rent reduction and interest reduction, the official gentry pay grain in one? Liu Qi chewed the meaning of the words, and the more he pondered it, the more he felt that it was the most reasonable words in the world. His parents starved for several days, went to fight with the victims to eat Guanyin soil, and finally died of swelling. If it weren't for the fact that his parents secretly kept the last few grass roots and a few pieces of elm bark for him, he was afraid that the sentence in front of him would die if he didn't eat for seven days, it would be his final fate.
Thinking that even the corpse had become food for other people's stomachs, Liu Qi's heart, which had already become cold, couldn't help but sour, and his eyes, which were used to seeing the scene of flesh and blood, and also brought countless fears to others, couldn't help but be a little moist.
raised his calloused right hand, gently wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, but made a disdainful tone in his mouth: "This is very interesting, everyone teaches Zi Shiyun, but this gentleman teaches this." What kind of doorway is this? ”
Zhang Dingguo was about to explain to Liu Qi, the old brother, but Zhang Kewang glanced at him and told him not to move. Zhang Kewang looked around, patted the shoulder of the person in front of him, and asked in a low voice: "Township Party, where are you from Shaanxi?" "Listen to Zhang Kewang's accent. This person immediately smiled and said: "Oh, I didn't expect it to be a fellow countryman, I'm from Weinan, and my cheap name is Liu Qi." Zhang Kewang also smiled and said, "I'll extend it." At that moment, the two exchanged pleasantries, and the relationship suddenly became a lot closer.
After the greetings, Zhang Kewang asked: "Township Party, there are three lines of big characters written on this whiteboard, what are they all written, and I look at the words on the official notice." It doesn't seem quite the same. ”
Hearing this, the man whispered: "What do you ask, the gate road, let me tell you, this is where the morality of our righteous army lies, in the words of Mr., it is justified to call the uprising." ”
Zhang Kewang was immediately interested when he heard this, and he hurriedly asked, "How do you say this?" The man smiled, knowing that the men in front of him were newcomers. Suddenly made a look that I know more than you do, and said, "This thing is not difficult to understand. Quite simply, if you don't eat for seven days, you die, that is, if you live, you have to eat. But where does the rice come from, from the ground, so. Those who farm should have their own land. But now the land is owned by the rich and the royal family, and the common people can't survive, so what should I do? It is necessary to reduce rents and interest rates, and the officials and gentry will pay grain in one piece. These things were originally handled by the imperial court, and only by handling these things well. Only our poor men have a way to live. But now that the Ming Dynasty doesn't give us a way to live, then it is only natural for us to rebel. ”
Zhang Kewang, Zhang Dingguo, Liu Qi and others couldn't help but nod their heads like chickens pecking at broken rice, all of them were thoughtful, at this moment, Liu Qi pulled the corner of his clothes and said, "Young marshal, be soft, that gentleman has come to our side." ”
After several questions, several people were named by Wu Xing to stand up and answer the questions, and some people raised the doubts in their stomachs and asked Mr. Wu Xing to explain. That Mr. Wu Xing also knew everything, and he never beat the palm of his hand to those who couldn't answer the questions. Just let him go back and think about what he said in class, and ask him the next time.
Seeing that the lecture was over, Wu Xing packed up his things and was about to leave, Zhang Dingguo hurriedly pulled the sleeve of Luo Hu's robe and asked him to come forward to introduce him on his behalf. Seeing this, Luo Hu hurriedly said: "Mr. Wu Xing, I haven't seen you for many days, but it's always good." Wu Xing turned his head and saw that it was Luo Hu, and couldn't help but smile and said: "Who should I be, it turns out to be General Luo!" If you don't see you for many days, you'll be fine. But you haven't forgotten our agreement, you asked me how to govern the country and the people, I gave you homework, don't forget your homework like my ignorant students. ”
Luo Hu and Wu Xing exchanged a few simple polite greetings, and then introduced Zhang Kewang and Zhang Dingguo to Wu Xing.
"But it turns out that the two are the young heroes Mao Tang and Ning Yu under the account of the Eight Kings." Wu Xing hurriedly put down the sundries in his hand and clasped his fists to salute, "I don't know that the two young marshals are here, but it's a little slow." ”
Zhang Dingguo hurriedly said: "Where did Mr. come from?" Fang Cai secretly listened to Mr. Wu Xing's teachings, and suddenly made Dingguo feel like seeing the sun. Only then did I realize that our righteous army acted in response to the will of heaven and the will of the people, and was secretly in line with the general trend. So that Mr. learned that on the way to Daliang, the students helped thousands of victims, what does Mr. think of such a thing? ”
Zhang Dingguo, who was full of joy, wanted to get a compliment, but unexpectedly, Wu Xing said loudly with his eyes upward: "What are you pretending to be in front of me?" Who doesn't know that now relief to the victims is also a good thing to earn silver dollars, you and I can't be blind. What is the use of rescuing more than 1,000 people? At present, the number of displaced and hungry people in the Central Plains is calculated at 100,000 at every turn, what is the use of your more than 1,000 people? ”
Zhang Dingguo also said disappreliantly: "Mr. Wu Xing, is this a test student?" Mr. Fang also said that the process is not important, the purpose is not important, the important thing is the result, not to mention that Mr. also used the example of Zigong and Niu just now to explain the relationship between righteousness and profit. As long as the people of the world can be happy, it doesn't matter whether the person who does it is a sage who has the world in mind or a market man who is bent on personal gain. ”
Wu Xing couldn't help but smile when he heard this, he pointed at Zhang Dingguo and said: "You young man, you are slow to learn everything else, and Mr. Xuexue occasionally laughs and talks quickly." But it's okay, although it's far away in Henan, I've also heard some about your Xiying, the eight kings are benevolent and righteous, and helping the victims has always been admired by Wu. But remember, this little kindness is still far from saving the country and the people. Don't let up. ”
After Wu Xing finished speaking, he continued to pack his things and prepare to leave, Zhang Dingguo hurriedly bowed his hand and said: "Sir, the students still have many questions that have not been asked to Mr. for advice, I wonder if Mr. is free tonight, can he go to the student camp to talk about it." ”
"Mr. Wu Xing. Since Brother Ning Yu has something to ask, how about you deign to do it? I was accompanied by the generalissimo's order, and I asked my husband to make it easier. ”
Wu Xing pondered for a moment and said, "Okay, it just so happens that I also want to know carefully whether General Luo Hu has completed his homework well these days." But it's okay to drink and eat, and other things are free. ”
Zhang Dingguo hurriedly nodded yes, and just like that, the three of them agreed to eat in the camp of the soldiers of Xiying in the evening. In the evening, Wu Xing came to Zhang Kewang and Zhang Dingguo's camp as promised, and the two had already asked Luo Hu to wait in the camp. Liu Qi was ordered to greet him at the gate.
After the guests sat down and changed the cups, Zhang Dingguo first talked about what he saw, heard and did when he went south. Of course, some particularly bloody and undisciplined things Zhang Dingguo inadvertently skipped over, but fortunately, Wu Xing didn't ask much. That's it, a few people laughed and chatted. As he spoke, Zhang Kewang suddenly asked, "Sir, I'm a rough person." Listen to me if you don't speak, forgive me. You always told my brother just now that you want to end the war and restore peace to the world. But the world has been fighting for decades, and the children of those who died earlier have all died in the war, and if this group of people had caught up with the peaceful years, they would have already married their mother-in-law and had children, and there would be a bunch of dolls behind their butts. Is there a big end to this battle? ”
Wu Xing took a sip of wine and said, "There is a head." Of course, there is a head, the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States fought for hundreds of years, and finally Qin Shi Huang ruled the world. It is the law that if you divide for a long time, you must be together, and if you divide for a long time, you must divide for a long time. How can there be no head. ”
Zhang Kewang heard this, but he still couldn't let go, so he continued: "What you said Lao Tzu of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period Qin Shi Huang didn't understand, Lao Tzu wanted to know, how can the world be peaceful today?" Wu Xing saw that Zhang Kewang was very serious, so he put down the wine glass and said: "If you want to talk about how to be peaceful, someone has already pointed out the clear road, and that person is none other than Ning Yuanbo, who has close trade contacts with us, and that road is in Shandong." ”
Zhang Dingguo was interested when he heard it, so he asked: "Shandong is indeed stable and rich now, and there are 10,000 roads to govern the country. ”
Wu Xing smiled and said: "This matter was determined by Old Master Kong, and it was said by the ancestors of those scholars who were scattered by Ning Yuanbo and Ning Yuanbo. As soon as this remark came out, Zhang Dingguo and Zhang Kewang were stunned, and seeing that they were puzzled, Wu Xing explained: "Confucius once said, do not suffer from widowhood but suffer from inequality, and do not suffer from poverty but suffer from anxiety. Of course, Confucius did not say this completely, in fact, it should be that the more wealth of the country, the better, and the fairer the distribution, the better. In this way, everyone has something to eat, and the gap between them is not particularly large, so naturally there is no desire to fight with each other. And now Shandong is implementing new agricultural tools with improved varieties and increasing wealth. At the same time, rent and interest reductions are used to buy seedlings, so that the poor will not be too widowed. What Ning Yuanbo did was to educate the saints, how could he not stabilize the rich people in the world. ”
After listening to Wu Xing's words, Zhang Dingguo and Zhang Kewang both nodded. However, Zhang Kewang may be the upper body of the god of death, so he opened his mouth and asked a question that should not be asked: "Mr. Wu Xing, since Uncle Ning Yuanbo is so good, when Brother Luo Hu took you from Shandong that day, even if you were sick that day, then when the illness is cured, why don't you run back to report it, it can't be that you really can't run out, right?" ”
As soon as these words came out, the faces of Zhang Dingguo, Luo Hu, and Wu Xing who were present suddenly changed! Zhang Dingguo stepped on Zhang Kewang fiercely when he heard this, and at the same time looked at him with a murderous eye, and almost slapped him on the spot. Wu Xing was stunned at first when he heard this, but after a while, his face was as usual. He sighed and said: "Don't say that I ran away, although I was kidnapped, but General Chuang Wang Luo is a reasonable person, if I want to leave, ask them for instructions, and they will naturally send someone to send me back to Shandong." But I don't want to go back. Because although Li Shouhan is good, it is a pity that he Li Shouhan can't take the Central Plains. ”
Although they often say that their father Zhang Xianzhong will definitely be able to win the world, they secretly regard Li Shouhan as the most popular seed player in the world, but now Wu Xing says that there is nothing to do with Li Shouhan in the Central Plains, which is also incredible. And Luo Hu, who was the guest with a seat, was smiling and happy.
Seeing the stunned appearance of the two, Wu Xing simply spoke more clearly, he said: "Li Shouhan has four major problems that are difficult to solve, and if these problems are not solved, then he will not want to get involved in China." ”
Zhang Kewang understood a little at this time, so he hurriedly asked: "What are the four major problems?" ”
Wu Xing replied unhurriedly: "A little." Li Shouhan has been running Nanzhong for 20 years, although the army is strong and the power is consolidated, but at the same time, the advisers are all southerners, and if they enter the Central Plains, there are two choices. One is to re-recruit the generals from the Central Plains as a new force, and the other is to let the old ministers enclose land and build houses to strengthen their interests. But no matter which one you choose, it will seriously hurt the foundation of the country and internal unity, Li Shouhan may be fine when he is alive, but once he returns to the west, there will be chaos. Not to mention, now the officials and gentry in the Central Plains are almost offended by Li Shouhan. I can't recruit even if I want to. As for the righteous army, the generalissimo's camp, the generalsimo's Cao camp, and the Guibu Xiying of the Eight Kings of Lingzun, which one does not have the ambition to dominate the world and annex the universe? It's not a last resort, who will listen to Li Shouhan's orders? ”
Zhang Dingguo nodded and said: "It's true, the north to unify the Central Plains is not in line with the interests of the southern lieutenant generals, but what if Li Shouhan uses the territory of Shandong, Guangdong, and Fujian to train officials on the spot?" ”
Wu Xingyi smiled and said: "This is the second point, the Central Plains is vast. The people's sentiments are complex, and the so-called hundred miles are different. Three miles of different tones. It would be good if he was content with the old Ming system, but now Li Shouhan advocated the implementation of the Qin law, which went further than the Qin law of ten miles for a pavilion, and the mayors of villages and towns everywhere had to be stationed by Shangfeng, which inevitably required a large number of officials. And just a few places in Denglai and Shandong have already consumed the officials under Li Shouhan's seat. Officials had to be recruited from the local area. Several of them are people who follow the generalissimo and the general to walk in all directions, when they know that the territory of the Ming Dynasty is vast, and there are countless bearing prefectures and counties, if they take over the world in the future, then where do these massive officials come from? ”
Zhang Kewang didn't seem to agree. He said: "What's so difficult about this, it just takes a little time, there are ten or twenty years, and no matter how many gaps are filled." ”
Wu Xing shook his head and said, "It's easy to say, how can it be so easy to fight for in the past twenty years." This is going to talk about the third point, Nanzhong has developed industrial and mining commerce, rich people's livelihood, and has made huge profits in trade with Daming. And going north to the Central Plains will inevitably damage the interests of the merchants in the south, so the old people in the south will inevitably gather like the Ming officials and gentry, and the success or failure is unpredictable. And how could the gentry of the old land of the Ming Dynasty sit idly by while Li Shouhan trained officials? It is bound to sharpen his head and get into Li Shouhan's official team in the past 20 years, the so-called rope sawing wood and water dripping stones, in the past 20 years, I am afraid that those officials are no longer the initial batch of Li Shouhan's training. If you want to achieve the effect of the finger again, it is difficult! ”
Zhang Dingguo and Zhang Kewang were all dumbfounded when they said this, they never thought that Li Shouhan, who seemed to be strong, would become unrelated to China in an instant. But they still had questions, so Zhang Kewang said: "Even so, the infantry and horses of Li Shouhan's naval division are all strong, and it is not enough to fight hard." ”
Wu Xing sighed and said: "This is the fourth point that is more troublesome, now that the military system of Nanzhong is very strong, the water division is extremely powerful." This is also common sense, the Li family area, there are many islands, and they obtain wealth by sea transportation, and the natural sailor is strong. But once the world is seized, it is inevitable to recruit more land divisions. The water division's food and salary will inevitably be transferred to the land division, and it will not hurt to do it for three or five years, and there will be a dispute between water and land over time. I'm just afraid that the Central Plains hasn't fought yet, and his own sailor Lu Shi will fight out of control first. ”
After saying this, Zhang Dingguo and Zhang Kewang both nodded, shocked and couldn't help but secretly surprised, because Ning Yuanbo has these four major problems, doesn't it mean that his side's opportunities have increased greatly? In order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, Zhang Kewang asked again: "So, Ning Yuanbo has no chance at all?" ”
Wu Xing shook his head and said: "Not really, although there are four problems, the most critical is the first one, as long as there are people, there is everything." The key is whether Li Shouhan can cultivate in the shortest possible time a contingent of mainland officials who can fight wars and govern the country, have a firm will, and at the same time can be completely trusted. If Li Shouhan can do it, then it is not a problem to unify the country, if he can't do it, even if he barely occupies the Ming Dynasty, but the second, he has to go back to Nanzhong. What's more, although Li Shouhan is in the prime of life at present, it is rumored that he has many wives and prosperous heirs. Moreover, Li Shouhan followed Li Yuan's example, so that all the sons came out to lead the troops to do things, and they did not make a candidate for the throne. If Li Shouhan one day gives up and returns to the West, these sons each have a set of teams, and they have a strong army base to open a mansion, but they are afraid that a rebellion of the five princes, or even a change in Xuanwumen, is also possible! ”
After speaking, Wu Xing took another sip of wine, and then added: "As far as I have seen and heard, although Li Shouhan's cadre training system is indeed powerful, it is not enough to overcome the problems I talked about. Therefore, in terms of knowledge, ability, soldiers, horses, food, etc., it is far inferior to Ning Yuanbo, but I can assert that as long as time is given and Ning Yuanbo is learned, the success rate of the generalissimo and the two generals in fighting for world dominance is far greater than that of Ning Yuanbo. This is the fundamental reason why I chose to stay under the Generalissimo. Of course, the eight kings of Lingzun are not without opportunities, but who wins and who loses is not the swords and guns on the battlefield, but who can build their own territory well. The so-called success of Henkel, the merit lies in Xiao He, this is the truth. For now, with all due respect, the generalissimo is far superior to the Eight Kings of Lingzun and General Luo. The two generals were invincible in battle, and they conquered the city. However, it must be known that the competition for the world has always been carried out, but it does not necessarily have to be decisive on the battlefield. ”
After that, the four of them continued to push the cup and change the cup to drink and have fun, Zhang Dingguo was nothing, but Zhang Kewang was secretly ruthless in his heart, I can't control it now, but in the future, I want to see who is better than whom.
The next day, Wu Xing did not have a course, but took a group of apprentices to handle various official duties in the lobby of Xiangfu County. In addition to having such an errand to give the professors he learned to the generals selected by the Chuang Cao family, his own position is Kaifeng Mansion Yin. This official position is naturally the official of Luo Rucai, who usually likes singing and dancing and listening to operas, and crowned Wu Xing with a little joke.
Among the apprentices, there were a few more people, Zhang Kewang, Zhang Dingguo led Liu Qi and a group of personal soldiers to follow the apprentices' team closely, staring at Wu Xing's every move when dealing with various government affairs without blinking, and ordered people to record them from time to time.
"Mr. Wu, I hope there is something to ask for, and Mr. Wanwang will agree." Quietly, Zhang Kewang changed his name to Zhang Kewang. The two names of the same sound have very different meanings. However, don't say that Wu Xing can't hear it, even Zhang Dingguo can't hear it. In the various letters and official documents in the future, he found out that his eldest brother quietly changed his name when he opened it. couldn't help but be so angry that Zhang Dingguo scolded. This is a matter of no further aside.
"General Maotang, please speak."
"I intend to leave Liu Qi and other twenty people in front of Mr., and ask Mr. to teach him day and night, so that he can serve the generalissimo in the future. I hope that Mr. will not refuse. ”
In front of Wu Xing, Liu Qi led twenty carefully selected personal soldiers to line up in two columns, and bowed down to Wu Xing: "I've seen Mr.!" (To be continued......)
