Chapter 58: Distress and Awakening

The history of the world of Red Mansions overlaps with the official history for the most part.

In the fifty-first episode of "Dream of Red Mansions", Xue Baoqin made ten nostalgic poems, and the ninth poem "Pudong Temple Nostalgia" and the tenth poem "Plum Blossom View Nostalgia" tell the story of "The Legend of the West Chamber" and the story of "Peony Pavilion", which are apocryphal and temporarily put aside.

The first eight stories, all of which have history, from the Western Han Dynasty to the Tang Dynasty, tell the story of Han Xin Pingqi, the Battle of Chibi, the Southern Expedition of Horse Aid, the digging of the Grand Canal, the old affairs of the Six Dynasties, Zhaojun's exit from the fortress, Ma Wei's hanging, etc.

Not to mention the moral of the nostalgic poem, just to say that this history is the same history, Huo Bao can use "history" as evidence.

In the troubled times of the dynasty, most of the heroes rose up, but there were few who could get a good death, and most of the people who changed the dynasty in the end were others.

The fall of Qin began with the uprising of Cheng Sheng and Wu Guang, but it was Liu Bang who built the Han; The death of the Han Dynasty began with the Yellow Turban Army, and it was the Three Kingdoms that could replace the Han; The fall of the Tang Dynasty began with the Huangchao Uprising, but it was followed by five dynasties and ten kingdoms.

This is the limitation of the peasant rebel army, which swept like quicksand, raised the banner of righteousness, and did not do righteous deeds. The upper side is unable to resist the imperial court to quell the rebels, and the lower side has lost the hearts of the people, such as a rootless Ping and no water source, which is doomed to ashes.

"There are no rules, there is no circle, and other places can't be controlled, Quyang white shirts, you must always be worthy of the word 'righteousness'." Huo Bao said: "Otherwise, we will be in the same stream, and we will all act out of order, and I am afraid that it will not be long-term." ”

"It's time to set the rules, the white dog is the white dog, we borrowed their name, but we can't really be beasts!" Deng Jian said happily: "I know that you have an idea, just say whatever you have!" In Quyang, one acre and three points of land, our masters have the final say, if you are still angry here, then it is better to go home happily! ”

"My nephew has some thoughts, the 'Five Precepts' of Buddhism can be used, and the 'Three Chapters of the Law' of Han Gaozu can also be used, but they are all insufficient. The 'Five Precepts' are good for binding the disciples, but when they are used to restrain the soldiers, they will make the soldiers lose their blood, and the 'Three Chapters of the Law' is rough and comprehensive. What rules should be made, my nephew will think about it. ”

Speaking of this, Huo Bao said: "Binjiang and Quyang are dependent on each other, and my nephew asked my cousin to send my father over, not only for family affairs, but also for this matter." ”

Deng Jian listened and agreed: "Yes, the two counties are one family, so they should advance and retreat together." ”

Huo Bao hesitated for a moment and said: "Uncle Cousin, no matter how carefully we manage these two counties, they are only two counties, if the state capital is in chaos, it will be difficult for us to be peaceful here." The state capital and Lingshui are blocked in the north, these two places are stable, and we are really stable here. Let's discuss a charter first, and just send a letter to the state capital while the state capital has not yet been taken? ”

Deng Jian looked at Huo Bao with an inexplicable expression.

Huo Bao was calm.

"Painting the land is king", self-contained, although comfortable, but it is unrealistic at the moment.

The land of the two counties, there is no natural danger and no geographical advantage, and no matter how good the business is, it is just a piece of fat that others can swallow at any time.

At present, it is not only necessary to use the banner of the White Shirt Army, but also to join forces in the White Shirt Army.

The third disciple is already an ally, and the relationship will be smashed even more solid, and he can't give away 15,000 people for nothing.

"You're such a good nephew!" Deng Jian was a little dissatisfied.

"Cousin, rest assured, there is only one voice in the realm of Quyang. In other places, it is natural that people who are close to us speak well. Huo Bao said.

Deng Jian snorted lightly twice, but didn't say anything.

Because of taking care of Huo Shun and waiting for Huo Wu, Huo Bao's uncle and nephew stayed at the Sifang Inn that night.

Huo Bao and Xiuxiu borrowed pen, ink, paper and inkstone, in addition to the "five precepts" and "three chapters of the law" mentioned earlier, there were few "three disciplines and eight attentions" written on it.

The "five precepts" of Buddhism will be put aside first.

The "Three Chapters of the Law" enabled Liu Bang to gain the support of the gentry class, and finally won the world, and also became the foundation of the Han law.

The "three major disciplines and eight major attentions" are aimed at enhancing the army's combat effectiveness and strengthening military-civilian relations.

These two are blended together, and they can be used.

"All actions are under command, not a stitch from the people, and all seizures must be returned to the public." These three can be used, but they can't be used directly.

"All actions are subject to commands" means "orders and prohibitions," and this should have been the case.

"Don't take a stitch from the people" is easy to say, after all, the white-shirted army is known as the "Buddha Army", destroying the demons of the world and saving the world.

As long as there is looting, there is no need to burn, kill and loot during the looting, and it is forbidden to kill, injure, and humiliate, but if you really want to seize all of them and return them to the public, you will arouse the indignation of the masses.

Everyone has selfish intentions, and fighting a war is aimed at getting rich, and cutting off people's financial means is like killing their parents.

"All seizures must be returned to the public," and the words "all seizures shall be distributed by the public."

If we agree on a distribution system that is acceptable to everyone, it will be over.

How to add the "three chapters of the law" to the three major disciplines?

Add the fourth clause "the punishment of the murderer who kills, the adulterer, the wounder, and the thief"?

This doesn't match.

The "Three Chapters of the Covenant" were used after the war.

The "Three Disciplines" do not emphasize wartime and post-war, but in fact they are more in line with wartime.

"Bang", the knock on the door, interrupted Huo Bao's train of thought.

"Uncle Bao, it's me!" Huo Bao was separated by the doorway.

"Come in!" Huo Bao got up.

Huo Bao came in, his eyes flickered, and then he turned around and helped the door, looked around, and saw no one else, so he closed it carefully.

"Sneaky, what's this for?" Huo Bao frowned.

"Uncle Bao......" Huo Bao leaned over and whispered, "My nephew just went to see the second uncle...... Just in time for the second uncle to wake up, the second uncle returned to Quyang...... Revenge ......"

"The other party's status is high? Marshal Liu's clansmen? Township Party? ”

"It's Marshal Liu's nephew, and it's also Marshal Liu's brother-in-law!"

No wonder Huo Bao was so nervous.

If this leaks out, the Liu and Huo families will be in a situation where they will never die.

If the Liu family does not avenge the blood of their in-laws, they will lose their prestige; If the Huo family puts down the blood feud and votes for the enemy, it will be a loss of style.

"Who else knows about this?" Huo Bao Dao.

"Only the second uncle, Uncle Bao and I know." Huo Bao said: "The second uncle didn't kill people directly in Lingshui, he used a method, and outsiders only thought that person was drowned......"

But in this world, as long as you have done it, you will reveal your deeds, where is the real secret.

To solve this matter, the best way is to "die without proof", once and for all, is it possible to choose?

The reason why Huo Bao passed on his father, in addition to official business, private affairs are how to settle Huo Shun.

Let's not talk about the depth of feelings, just say that Huo Shun is still holding Uncle Huo and Shi behind him, and there are tiger and leopard brothers watching on the side, so it must be arranged properly.

There are only a few people in the Huo family, and they can't really be separated and divided into camps; can let Huo Shun enter the "White Shirt Army", even if he only bears a false name, it is too inconsiderate.

"Your fifth grandfather should arrive tomorrow, listen to what his old man has to say first." Huo Bao Dao.

Huo Bao hesitated for a moment, and said in a low voice: "Why don't you let the second uncle go far away and come back when it's too peaceful?" ”

Huo Bao shook his head and said, "Uncle is worried about the second brother, how can he be willing to let the second brother go away." ”

It sounds like "go away", but it's actually similar to "exile", but if you really want to do that, it's not good to fall twice.

not only threw the handle outside, but also chilled the hearts of Uncle Huo's family.

Huo Bao lowered his voice and said, "Uncle Bao, since the two families of Liu Huo are separated by blood feuds, they cannot coexist. That Marshal Liu only had 8,000 soldiers and horses, and his biggest reliance was the name of the head of the Huainan Taoist sect...... Can't think of ideas? ”

Huo Bao's eyes blinked.

yes, how did you forget that!

The previous leader of Quyang County ran away, and the remaining backbones made Huo Bao a bad name as a "true and false believer" and became a "false believer".

Master Deng took the initiative to be the "head of the sect", and his tone was also released.

Quyang is like this, so can the entire Huainan Dao also create a sect leader?
