Since Yu Zhilong understood his previous mistake, he simply summoned Yu Shichang, Qian Zheng, Meng Chang, Jin Yan and others to discuss. Although Tan Ye is newly attached, he is also called. He was sincerely afraid, and he couldn't help but be cautious in his words and deeds during the discussion, and he didn't dare to speak lightly.

In terms of attitude towards things outside the body, Meng Chang is similar to Zhilong. However, after hearing Kong Ying's suggestion, he also echoed Kong Ying's opinion.

Meng Chang is free and easy, often informal, and has never been liked by the Confucian family in Qufu. Now that Meng Chang has joined the army, seeing what he has heard in the Jing'an army, it is all fresh, and he was quickly convinced by Yu Zhilong's ambitions and rules.

Summoned late at night, Meng Chang was not surprised or happy, and when he saw Yu Zhilong's eyes, he leaned over and smiled: "Those who know me say that I am worried, and those who don't know me say what I want." The ambition of adults is lofty, beyond the reach of the birds, and the subordinates admire them to the fullest! ”

Everyone knew that he had a noble temperament, but when they suddenly saw him slapping his ass in public, they were shocked, and they couldn't help but look at each other, and secretly said: Could it be that this person has changed his mind?

Meng Chang continued: "All the people in the world are divided by turbidity. However, there are few people who are clear, and there are many people who are turbid. The high and the low are not taken by the sages. Adults worry about the military and people's livelihood, and are willing to share weal and sorrow with our soldiers and small people, cut privileges, praised by the world, and this sincere saint's trip is also! ”

"However, the world is divided into regions, and there is a comparison between morality and morality. There are all kinds of desires, and there is even more greed for unrestrained demands. Can a gentleman be vigilant and self-reliant, dare to ask if there is a point? ”

Yu Zhilong was silent and replied: "I don't dare to force half a point." ”

He thinks to himself: There are thousands of people in the world, and there are very few people who are really like gentlemen in words and deeds.

"Yes! The general was determined to revive the Han dynasty, drive out the Tartars, and save the people from fire and water. Tens of thousands of people enthusiastically gathered under the banner of the Jing'an Army, willing to run for the adults, regardless of life and death. However, at its root, most of them are ordinary people, there are also joys, sorrows, sorrows, and sorrows, as well as parents who need to provide for them, and wives and children who need to be supported. Those who are sons of men do not miss the glory of the sect, and those who are fathers do not want to be crowned as wives and sons. It is food and clothing, and I also look forward to the bell ringing and food. This person's heart desires, and the way of heaven dictates it! Subordinates' bad opinions: Adults can be educated, and they can be legalized! But you can't rule the army and the world with high morality. ”

"My lord is the head of the Jing'an army, and his words and deeds are more important than Mount Tai. If the adult is pure and hard, even if the next person has sound and lustful thoughts, dare to have thoughts? In the long run, if you want to be unsettled, you will surely have disaster! ”

"My subordinates have read the Spring and Autumn Period, and I have not heard of a country that wins with virtue and conquers it, and passes it on to hundreds of generations with virtue. The Qin State is dominant in the Hangu and wants the world, and the Han Wu whip the Huns are far away, and they are not making great efforts, cultivating civil and military affairs, setting meritorious deeds, rewarding and punishing people, and there are courtiers who do their best. The state has national laws, the military has military regulations, if the adults have rules, the law is no exception, and the natural road is passable. ”

"The people may, let it be, but not, let it know." Meng Chang said, the chief.

He said so much, the core is that Yu Zhilong cannot only be moralized, but must also take into account the interests of his subordinates, but the rules must be customized and strictly and comprehensively promulgated, so as not to change people's hearts.

The people may, let it be, and not, make it known. From the Analects of Tabor, because there is no sentence tease in the original text, it is difficult for later generations to understand it, and the sentences are different, and the meaning of each other is very different.

For example, the people can make it happen, but they can't know it. That's the exact opposite.

Yu Zhilong pondered for a long time and sighed: "A certain common thought: governing the heavens, Mo Ruosi." The husband is only stingy, it is called early service. Early service is called the accumulation of virtue; If you accumulate virtue, you will be invincible; If there is no restraint, you don't know the extreme; I don't know the extreme, there can be a country; There is the mother of the country, which can last for a long time. It is said to be deeply rooted and the way to live forever. ”

Yu Zhilong is talking about the fifty-ninth chapter of the Tao Te Ching. Sitting down, a few scholars naturally understand. The core of this article is to correct oneself, rejuvenate agriculture, and cultivate virtue.

Since Kong Ying, Meng Chang, and Jin Yan joined him, Yu Zhilong often talked with him about the past and the present, and the disadvantages of the times. As for how to deal with governing the country, Yu Zhilong and Meng Chang have the most similar views. Most of the two think that the foundation of governing the country lies in the law, and the core of education is in Mingde. Regarding Tian Lie, Xie Lin, Fang Xue, etc., who advocated the idea of educating the people, putting morality first, and eliminating maladministration, although Yu Zhilong felt something, Meng Chang scoffed at it.

Kong Ying was amazed by Yu Zhilong's example and being strict with himself, and Meng Chang thought it was unnecessary.

Jin Yan believes that governing the country needs to take advantage of the first and guide according to the situation. Most of his family were merchants, and he had been involved in buying and selling since childhood, and although he was familiar with the poetry and books of sages, he was not a pure Confucian scholar.

Jin Yanjin said: "The ancestors said that the monarch and the minister, father and son are common, which is the foundation of the world. The sages of the past dynasties have those who govern the country with virtue, and those who pass on the world with filial piety, but the country is prosperous and strong, and it is sad to be the second, but it will inevitably turn into a plaster, and Qionglou Yuyu will become a wild cemetery. In a certain opinion: In everything in the world, the unchanging one is mercenary, and the world is bustling. Chasing fame and fortune, nature makes ears, as long as you don't lose your heart and don't mess up your mind, it is the best policy. Why? I think that adults should lure them with positive interests and guide them, so that they can get their lives and the world to return to their hearts! ”

Yu Zhilong said happily: "Good words! I should save it. "Ordered the guards to bring tea to everyone, and drink it with everyone instead of wine.

Yu Shichang and other generals listened to it in a daze, but Yu Zhilong was willing to adopt the suggestions of Kong Ying, Meng Chang and others, and Yu Shichang and others liked it. He is not as simple as Qian Zheng and other generals, but Yu Shichang thought that if his sister really married Yu Zhilong in the future, although it was said that he would marry a chicken and a dog and a dog, but this daily use could not wronged her.

The big cities in Shandong mainly include Jinan, Tai'an and Yidu. Hundreds of miles east of Yidu City, the land fertility is gradually inferior to that around Yidu City, and the population density and road network are also slightly lower. But along the way, there are still a lot of big tycoons, walled forts, and wang clans.

The most famous water system in Shandong is the Wen River, as well as the Da and Xiao Qing River, the Mi River, the Dagu River, the Shu River, the Jiaolai River, the Wulong River, the Huanglei River and so on. At this time, the Yellow River had not yet been diverted, and it was still taking Huai into the sea.

There are many river forks and water systems in eastern Shandong, but fortunately, there are no big rivers, and it is not difficult for the army to cross the river. As the vanguard, Qian Zhengbu collected wooden boats and planks along the way, and set up pontoon bridges, and the Jing'an army traveled all the way, because there were many rivers and streams, and it was convenient to camp and get water.

The Rizhao water system is mainly divided into Shu River, Wei River and southeast coastal water system, and the larger rivers include Shu River, Fu Tuan River, Chaobai River, Xiuzhen River, Wei River and Jufeng River.

Rizhao, Zhou is Judi, Qin belongs to Langya County, Haiqu County in the Western Han Dynasty, Chengyang County in the Three Kingdoms Wei Dynasty and Ju, Liangxiang County in the Northern Wei Dynasty. Sui returned to Ju County, which belonged to Langya County, and Tang and Song belonged to Mizhou. In the second year of Song Yuanyou, Rizhao Town belonged to Ju County, and the name of Rizhao began here. In the twenty-fourth year of Jin Dading, Rizhao County was established, which belonged to Juzhou, Yidu Prefecture. Yuan lineage.

When they arrived at the boundary of Chen Tong, the army was stationed along the lake in the wild, and thousands of soldiers were stationed in their own duties, some went to the village, some set up trenches and antlers, and some took water and buried pots to make rice. The sentry was released in all directions, at least more than ten miles. Except for the forward Qian Zhengyi who continued to move forward and was on guard, the rest of the people were busy.

There are many soldiers in the army, and there are also many auxiliaries. Yu Zhilong placed some of the surrenderers who were taken in along the way in the locality, and selected some young and strong soldiers as auxiliary soldiers, whose main functions were to work in the army, such as camping, collecting firewood, diving, cooking, feeding horses, carrying grain, armor, etc. In their spare time, there are also technical attacks and queue drills for these auxiliary soldiers, and there are regular examinations for auxiliary soldiers in the army, and those who are outstanding are promoted to combat soldiers.

At this time, the army was encamped, and it was the busiest time for the auxiliaries.

Yu Zhilong, as the commander-in-chief, naturally did not need these labors, he and Kong Ying, Jin Yan, Meng Chang and others sat on the floor in the tent to talk, because it was winter, and a piece of wool or fur was spread on the table to keep out the cold.

Xie Lin was temporarily detained by Yu Zhilong in Yishui, and controlled the government affairs of Linqu and Ju County, and he couldn't get away for a while, Tan Ye, as a new person, his loyalty and ability still need to be tested, so Yu Zhilong ordered him to accompany him this time.

Pang Biao of Qingfeng Village voted for Yu Zhilong, a few days ago due to the lack of capable generals in Zhao Shi, Yu Zhilong ordered Pang Biao to lead a group of soldiers and horses to Ju County to reinforce Zhao Shi.

Inside the camp, outside the tent, several generals gathered around the campfire to keep warm after ordering the stationing and patrolling.

"Old song, these days are simply a tour of the mountains and rivers! If it weren't for the few horses in the army and the slow pace of the march, it wouldn't take two days, and we would have reached Rizhao City! Yu Shichang didn't take off his armor, he just took off his cloth boots, nor did he take off his socks, and raised his feet close to the bonfire to bake, and he breathed a long sigh of comfort. Some numb, cold feet were quickly roasted by the warm campfire, and the smell of sweat, mixed with the curling white mist, gradually drifted from the cloth socks.

The sour smell of the Ninja took off his boots and socks, and stretched out a pair of bare feet towards the campfire, not afraid of sparks falling on the surface of his feet.

"Comfortable! It's cooler than drinking hot soup! Qu Bo sighed, "Lao Tan, Lao Bi, everyone is a straight man, don't come to the void, you can try it too!" ”

Tan Ye and Kong Bi are newcomers, with hundreds of households, and their positions are far inferior to Yu Shichang and Qu Bo, etc., but Yu Zhilong attaches great importance to him and specially orders them to follow the Chinese army, so Kong Bi also squatted behind the two of them tremblingly. He didn't dare to be unrestrained like the two of them, but he just approached the bonfire and stretched out his hand to bake it. After Tan Ye thanked him, he was half a step behind and half squatted to roast the fire.

Yu Shichang glanced at Kong Bi and shouted, "It's not an outsider, come together!" Yu Shichang now also understands that Qian Zheng, Huang Er, Wu Side and others have their own line, and it is difficult for him to mix with them for a while, Tan Ye, Qu Bo, Kong Bi, Wan Jinhai, etc. are all side lines, so they naturally have to be closely co-opted.

Combi thanked him, fell to his knees, and carefully approached the fire again. Although he had nothing but shoes and socks, he shrunk his feet and did not dare to stretch them out.

Yu Zhilong has already incorporated Tan Ye and other sect members into a team, and before leaving, he specially collected some winter clothes from Bai Shixuan and others, and gave them to protect them from the cold.

Kong Bi followed this Kong Ying and others to join the Jing'an Army, and now Kong Ying and others are highly valued by Yu Zhilong, he has the merit of protecting Kong Ying and others, and he is of the same clan, and the future is bright; But Tan Ye was born in Maitreya, and when the master Yangshuo conspired with Shi Zebo to seize Yishui, Wu Side was seriously injured, although Tan Ye was later attached to Zhilong, his qualifications and background were far inferior to these people, so he has always been cautious in his words and deeds.

Yu Zhilong and a few people in the tent talked about the scenery on the road, and there were people on horseback who hurriedly rushed back from the front, listening to the sound of horses' hooves, and the people in the tent turned their heads curiously to look out.

"Report ——,! General Qian Zheng was captured by the enemy ten miles ahead, and our forward line was scattered! ”

The sentry dismounted, scurried into the tent, and gasped for breath to report the news.

"What?" Yu Zhilong was taken aback, "Qian Zheng was captured, and the striker was defeated by the enemy!" ”

Kong Ying, Jin Yan and others looked at each other, in addition to the fatigue of the road, it can be said that the battle was easy, and they didn't expect to be close to Rizhao City, but they folded a general.

Yu Zhilong stood up abruptly in shock at first, and after being stunned, he slowly sat down. Let the sentinel speak slowly. "Don't panic, take your time."

"Honorable Order. The small one followed General Qian as the striker, and walked to the official road more than ten miles ahead, and there was no trace of the enemy on the road. Later, it was found that there was a large group of merchants' chariots and horses from Rizhao, no less than forty or fifty carts, loaded with tung oil, cotton cloth, silk, and jade. General Qian said that the merchant was an enemy and directly ordered the seizure of the goods; Someone in the caravan escaped, but soon a group of local rebels rode after him, asking for goods and people, General Qian refused, and the two sides moved their weapons, and General Qian was captured by the enemy! ”

"Who's coming? How many? Yu Zhilong asked worriedly.

The sentry hesitated a little before he said, "There are not many enemies, but dozens of horses, but the leader is a big lady." ”

"Big lady? What do you mean? Yu Zhilong said. Kong Ying and the others were also surprised.

"That lady is big, I'm afraid there are two or three generals Qianzheng!" The sentry stretched out his hands and gestured to his body.

Yu Zhilong suddenly turned out to be a fat sister.

He immediately thought about it, and laughed again, Qian Zheng was similar in size to himself, but he had been farming since he was a child, and he had studied the four books, so his skin was whiter. Since the lady has two or three Qian Zhengda, if she and Qian Zheng are standing together, it is really eye-catching.
