Chapter 161: Wanzhou Academy
"Then how to deal with the affairs of Wanzhou?" Zhou Chongde didn't have any idea at all, so he could only ask Xu Lang and Han Wantao. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Lord Zhou, here's what we're going to do." Xu Lang replied, "We have a few things that we must do at the moment. First, our army is stationed in Wanzhou to take over the defense of Wanzhou. We can't use the Wanzhou army at present, so we will take care of them first, and then slowly screen them, and they are willing to join us and directly integrate into the Yazhou army. Second, tomorrow, I will ask Lord Zhou to post a notice to calm the people, saying that the Li people have been surrendered, and then we will organize a patrol team to maintain law and order in this Wanzhou City, and the streets of Wanzhou still need to be calmed. Thirdly, we want to build a academy in Wanzhou. ”
"Engage in a academy?" Zhou Chongde glared at him and asked, "Brother Xu, why did you suddenly remember to make the academy, why did you make this thing?" ”
"Lord Zhou." Han Wantao explained, "Even if we can stay in Wanzhou in the future, we can't keep too many people here." When we leave, it's hard to guarantee whether this Gu Bin and Cao Hui will have any more ideas, so we have to support some trustworthy people, and now, this Ma Qiji is a suitable candidate. ”
"It's just this academy?" Zhou Chongde's mind turned a few times, "Brother, I don't recognize a single big character, besides, let those showmen get together all day long, nothing will happen." ”
"Don't worry, Lord Zhou." Xu Lang said with a smile, "Since this Chongzhen Lord ascended the throne and Wei was ambushed, the academies in various places have been restored one after another. In fact, the academy is just a pretense, and having such a group of people watching Gu Bin and them for us can be regarded as helping us. ”
Zhou Chongde thought for a while and didn't speak again, but asked, "What about those Li people?" ”
"We are about to discuss the matter of the Li people with Lord Zhou." Han Wantao replied, "We have also discussed with Kunta, what do you think of leaving some Li people in Wanzhou?" ”
"Leave them in Wanzhou?" Zhou Chongde was taken aback by Han Wantao's idea, "How can this be made, what if they make trouble again?" ”
"No, it won't." Xu Lang picked up the wine glass and drank a glass himself, "We also have Li people in Yazhou City, so there are even more Li people in Yulin Bay, and these Zhou adults also know about it." They are all people, as long as there is good, no one wants to make trouble. Lord Zhou can think the other way around, with these Li people here, then Gu Bin and Cao Hui don't have any ideas. ”
Zhou Chongde was confused by what Xu Lang and Han Wantao said, and thought for a while before asking: "Two brothers, what is going on in this Wanzhou City, I can't think of a chou Yin from my brother." There is Lord Wang Kezong here, and you Yulin Bay below, old brother, I just want to know now, what benefits can I and my brothers have? ”
"Lord Zhou is really a refreshing person." Xu Lang secretly said in his heart, Zhou Chongde, Zhou Chongde, you are not stupid at all, "Can Lord Zhou remember what he promised last time?" After we control Wanzhou, we won't just care about that bit of land, do you want to be the same as Sister-in-law Wu? ”
Zhou Chongde's eyes shone brightly: "Since Brother Xu said so, then the old brother will thank Brother Xu first, as for what to do next, the old brother has all asked the two brothers, you let go of your hands and do it, I will never have any obstruction, old brother." ”
"So." Han Wantao and Xu Lang raised their glasses at the same time, "Thank you, Lord Zhou." ”
Early in the morning of the second day, Han Wantao and Xu Lang went to visit Ma Qiji together.
"Two adults." Ma Qiji sat in the hall of his house and said to Han Wantao and Xu Lang, "The student first thanked the two adults for quelling the Wanzhou rebellion. ”
"Ma Xianggong is polite." Xu Lang returned the salute, "But I don't know what Ma Xianggong thinks about the general trend of the world now?" ”
Ma Qiji was stunned for a moment, and did not answer Xu Lang, this question was too direct.
"Hehehehe." Xu Lang couldn't help but smile when he saw Ma Qiji's performance, "Ma Xianggong, you are worried about the country and the people in your letter to us, why do you have any concerns now?" ”
Lord Xu smiled. Ma Qiji carefully recalled the letter he wrote, there should be no big rebellious words in it, so he said, "The student is just worried about the affairs of Wanzhou, how dare the student speak out about the general trend of the world." ”
"Hehe, Ma Xianggong." Xu Lang suddenly said, "In the first month of the fourth year of Chongzhen, Shaanxi Liukou rebelled, and in August, Houjin besieged Dalinghe, an important town in eastern Liaodong, and the city surrendered in October. In September, Yang He was arrested and treated for ineffective appeasement, and the rogue became even more popular. In leap November, the Dengzhou guerrilla Kong Youde rebelled, and Shandong was in ruins. Ma Xianggong, do you need me to continue? ”
"Lord Xu." Ma Qiji didn't understand why Xu Lang said this to him, so he had to deal with it, "These are all matters of the imperial court, how can we comment on them arbitrarily." ”
Han Wantao suddenly interjected: "Ma Xianggong, the rise and fall of this world is the responsibility of the husband. I heard that Ma Xianggong is also a person who worries about the country and the people, but I don't know why his words flicker. ”
"Two adults." Ma Qiji was a little anxious, "The student dares to ask what the two adults want to say to the student?" ”
"Since Ma Xianggong asked like this, then I will say it directly." Xu Lang knew that it was time to tell the truth, "We want to ask Ma Xianggong to open a academy in this Wanzhou City." ”
"Open a college?" Ma Qiji didn't answer Xu Lang's words, but muttered to himself.
"Ma Xianggong." Xu Lang continued, "Let's talk about this Wanzhou first. Now that we have brought down Gu Bin and Cao Hui, but Ma Xianggong also knows that these two people are still unable to move, and we will not stay in Wanzhou for a long time. Isn't Ma Xianggong worried about how they will deal with Ma Xianggong after we leave? ”
"You guys." Ma Qiji was really anxious, "You promised the students at the beginning. ”
"Ma Xianggong, don't be in a hurry." Xu Lang saw that Ma Qiji was really anxious, but smiled instead, "What we promised, we naturally won't break our promise." I might as well reveal it to Ma Xianggong in the future, this Gu Bin has nothing to do, but our Lord Wang Kezong of Yazhou will rise one more level this year. This Corporal Lixian of Lord Wang, presumably Ma Xianggong has also heard of it. ”
"Lord Wang's reputation is naturally known to students." Ma Qiji suddenly changed the topic, "Two adults, if the student has a question, please let the two adults understand it." ”
"Ma Xianggong, but it doesn't hurt to ask." Han Wantao replied.
"Are you from Yazhou or Yulin Bay now?"
"Hahahaha." Xu Lang looked up to the sky and laughed, "It turns out that Ma Xianggong is worried about this, this Yazhou is Yulin Bay, and this Yulin Bay is Yazhou." Not only that, but in the future, this Wanzhou will also be Yulin Bay. I don't know if Ma Xianggong is satisfied with this answer? ”
When Ma Qiji heard Xu Lang say this, he suddenly stood up and bowed deeply: "Thank you two adults, the students obey the orders of the two adults." ”
"Ma Xianggong is very polite." Han Wantao hurriedly stepped forward to help Ma Qiji up, and asked, "I just don't know why Ma Xianggong trusts me so much in Yulin Bay?" ”
"Excuse me, sir." Ma Qiji said slowly, "Students don't dare to say that they have read the books of sages, but they are also literate and hyphenated. Now that the Ming Dynasty is in turmoil, the students are not talented, and they have also thought hard, but they can't think of any good plan in the end. It's just that since you came to this Yulin Bay, who in the entire Qiongzhou Mansion doesn't know that Yulin Bay is a paradise. Although the students have never been there, some of the students' children and nephews are there with you, and some have joined your Yulin Bay militia group, so the students also know a little about Yulin Bay. Especially recently, I heard that you have reached an agreement with Zheng Zhilong, a guerrilla in Fujian, that you will send troops to Liaodong, sweep away the rebellion, and save the people of the Ming Dynasty from fire and water. Imagine if my Ming officials and soldiers are like Yulin Bay, why worry about the Tartars and Liukou. ”
"Ma Xianggong has lifted me up Yulin Bay." Xu Lang said with a smile, "We are also the remnants of the Great Song Dynasty after Yashan." My Huaxia bloodline has been cut off once, and I can't repeat the same mistakes now, no matter what. ”
"I just don't know the two adults." Ma Qiji asked again, "What is the role of this academy?" ”
"Does Ma Xianggong know about Donglin Academy?" Xu Lang answered the question.
"Of course this student knows." Ma Qiji replied, "It's just that the students are only shallow, how can they be compared with the famous people of Donglin." ”
"Ma Xianggong is too worried." Xu Lang smiled, "Naturally, we can't compare with them, but in Wanzhou and even Qiongzhou, I think Ma Xianggong can still do it." ”
Coming out of Ma Qiji's house, Han Wantao and Xu Lang went to find Kunta again. When the two of them returned to the barracks, it was already dark, Han Wantao didn't even eat dinner, blasted all the people out of the tent, pulled Xu Lang and asked:
"It's been holding me back for a day, you tell me the truth, what do you mean by this academy, it won't be as simple as just wanting to watch Gu Bin and them, right?"
"Wan Tao, you don't eat, I'm hungry." Xu Lang stood up and smiled.
"Don't change the subject." Han Wantao pressed Xu Lang back into the chair, "I don't read as much as you, and I don't have as much as you." But you have to tell me clearly, after we come to Wanzhou, are these things you do your own idea or the meaning of the committee? ”
"Does it matter?" Xu Lang asked rhetorically.
"Of course it is." Han Wantao said, "This time, the two of us came out, you promised Zhou Chongde so many things, and now you let Ma Qiji run a academy, in case the committee has any different opinions in the future, how will we explain when we go back." ”
"Wan Tao, don't worry." Xu Lang pulled Han Wantao to sit down, "What about these things, I just promised them a rough idea, and the committee has to decide what to do in the future." But I think so, just with more than 300 of us, it is difficult to achieve our goal, so we have to transform the Ming Dynasty and let the Ming Dynasty develop according to our ideas. However, it is also not an easy task to transform a country with a population of more than 100 million. Interests are one thing, but we still have to reshape ourselves ideologically. These two hands should be hard. ”
"You asked Ma Qiji to open the academy to transform the thinking of the Ming Dynasty?" Han Wantao asked, "Let the people of the Ming Dynasty transform the people of the Ming Dynasty?" Will this work? ”
"I haven't figured out exactly how this should work." Xu Lang took out two cigarettes and handed one to Han Wantao, "You allow me to think about it, I will write a letter and make a detailed report on the situation in Wanzhou and at home, and you can find someone to send it back quickly." Let's wait here for a reply from home, but don't be idle these days, and work with Zhou Chongde's people to screen the army in Wanzhou, reorganize and incorporate it into our own system, and don't forget that your mixed brigade is still seriously short of people. ”
"You want to write a letter? That's right, you ask the family, how many troops are left here in Wanzhou, who is in Wanzhou between the two of us, or send another of their own people at home. If I don't have one of my own, I'm a little worried. ”
"Okay, I'll write that too." Xu Lang spat out a puff of cigarette, "If you have any questions, let's talk about them together, and I'll ask the family." ”
"Nothing else." Han Wantao put the cigarette Xu Lang gave him in his hand but didn't light it, "It's just that what will happen after the armies of other states and counties come in a few days?" I have to find a way to send them away, and I have to think of a reason to explain the affairs of these Li people. ”
"I know that." Xu Lang replied, "I have to think about it, I have to think of a reasonable reason, and if this matter is not good, I have to report to Guangzhou." ”
