"The rise and fall of the family and the country comes from time to time, why should the Wu people complain about Xi Shi.

If Xi Shi dissolves the Wu Kingdom, who will the Yue Kingdom die? ”

"Xi Shi": Luo Yin

- I'm the dividing line -

Today, children under the rule of the Taiping Army either study in specialized institutions or do child labor in the corresponding workshops; There is basically no other third option. Of course, this is not about extracting their surplus value.

In fact, in order to ensure the basic rations needed for these children to grow up normally, instead of being destroyed in the corresponding posts prematurely, the Taiping Army will also provide disguised subsidies for two meals in the morning and evening, and even continue to lose money.

But only in this way can they be freed from the poor and difficult family life, participate in the collective life from an early age, accept the influence and exposure of the corresponding system, and finally become the basic plate of high-quality labor and potential soldiers of the Taiping Army when they are basically adults.

In the third edition, it is Luo Yin's best and best world story/joke, which is full of laughter and scolding in three words; And there are corresponding lines that are clearly drawn and illustrated.

Seeing this, Zhou Huai'an was already quite satisfied; But what surprised him even more was the fourth edition of the "Bone Mirror" column: it was to expose the methods and tricks of those past officials and traditional bigwigs, and how to deceive and deceive the good.

The fifth and sixth editions are mainly the display of various construction achievements of the Taiping Army in recent years, as well as the announcement of the use, region and labor involved in the corresponding engineering projects in recent years. and even a reward for soliciting corresponding solutions and suggestions.

For example, the Lingqu water transportation from Lingxi to Hunan has a saturation trend; It seems that it is about to become a bottleneck in the connection between the two large regions in the rear. So there are currently several options with different cost-effectiveness,

Either carry out deep excavation and widening to increase overload shipping; Either another route is opened for diversion and transfer, or it is to find a way to optimize the fortune structure and improve the efficiency of shipping on the original basis.

The seventh and eighth editions are the travelogues of various people from Tianzhu, Zhenla, Cham, Zhuyuan and other foreign Fanbang terroirs; Among them, Du Huan's "Jing Xingji" is mainly serialized, which is to expand the horizons and cognitive needs of the corresponding audience.

The ninth and tenth editions are excerpts and excerpts from translations of foreign medical art, literature, and historical records; A large part of the article is from the Arab world. The reason is also very simple, as one of the circles of civilization that is enough to be juxtaposed in the world.

The ancient Wufang Tianzhu has been mired in the division of obscurantist and chaotic princes for many years; Since the Mauryan Dynasty, the Ghaznavid Dynasty, the Gupta Dynasty, the Kushan Dynasty, and the Ring Sun Dynasty, many treasures of civilization have long been lost.

And the barbarian ravages on the European continent in the dark age, and there is only one light of civilization left, Flynn, which is relatively beyond the reach of sea exchanges.

On the contrary, the Arab world of this era was still under the rule of the Abbasid dynasty at the end of the "Centennial Translation Movement"; It was therefore also the most open and tolerant period in the Arab world. In the Wisdom Palace of Baghdad, known as the "City of Repayment", it is still full of scholars of all kinds of faiths and ethnic groups;

They follow the so-called hadith of "seeking knowledge even as far as China", and strive to collect and translate the knowledge and writings of people from all regions and civilizations in Eurasia. It represents the light of civilization of the times that overwhelmed much of Europe under the monopoly of the Church and the Dark Ages.

It was not until hundreds of years later that it was destroyed by the Mongol army that invaded Baghdad, but many of the cultural achievements handed down from this era became the foundation of the European Renaissance in the 15th century after passing through the second and third rivers.

At this time, the sect promoted by the Abbasid Dynasty, which was heavily influenced by Persianization, was not the Sunni or Shia sect that was common in later generations, but was composed of many religious jurists. A Sufi who advocated asceticism, devout worship, and seclusion.

As a result, the extremist factions in the corresponding Arab world, whether Sunnis or Shiites, were severely attacked and suppressed by dynastic regimes; The so-called saints, who claimed to be the descendants of Muhammad, were killed one after another by the Abbasid caliphs.

Of course, this cannot hide the other side of the cruel and tyrannical teachings derived from the extreme environment of the desert peoples.

The so-called prohibition of idolatry in desert monotheism, like the iconovancing movement on the European continent, is a two-sided thing and a core; It is forbidden for the people to contact, learn and create, and anything that involves the spiritual world is expressed in the form of art outside of religious norms.

According to the corresponding theory, it is only in an increasingly closed, boring, and monotonous environment that the so-called faith becomes more pious and pure; It deprives the public of the potential to pursue aesthetic and artistic creativity, and limits their attention to religious beliefs as much as possible.

Just like when the Green Religion spread in the Western Regions, why did it massively slaughter Buddhist monks in the places it passed, demolish monasteries and use Buddha statues as the foundations of filthy places; Why is it that in modern times, the Taliban regime has ignored the call of the whole world to destroy the Bamiyan Buddha, which has existed for more than a thousand years and seems to have nothing to do with it?

This is because the cultural spirit and historical implications of the creations of these heretical beliefs of foreign religions naturally shake the foundation of these teachings that have spread from the desert.

As human beings gain more and more knowledge, the more frequent the desire to think, reflect, and explore, and the weaker and weaker the reverence and devotion to mysticism, which is almost an irreversible result.

So astronomers such as Bruno, who discovered the laws of the celestial bodies, were burned at the stake in the Piazza del Fiori in Rome; There is the female scientist Hipatia, who was chopped to death by fanatical Christians with mussel shells; Roasted alive in Geneva with his writings, Dr. Servette, the discoverer of the pulmonary circulation.

Then, in modern times, the Green Cultists, who wanted to squeeze the wealth brought by oil back to the international community from the fringes of forgotten civilizations, also began to use all kinds of cruel performance art in the form of anti-social and humanitarian expressions.

Therefore, when modern people see in the ancient city of Baramir, what they see is the treasure of ancient times and the crystallization of humanities and arts; But the princes and patriarchs who destroyed these murals were looking at natural references that challenged their authority and the right to interpret religion.

Therefore, the extremists do these heinous things that destroy the material heritage of mankind with simple reasons and mentality. Since the traditional teachings have not kept up with the times, it is impossible to expound and explain these new things; Then find a way to destroy these unexplainable things and make the world go its way.

Therefore, this is why there is a cold joke that has been widely circulated in later generations: "Refusing to believe in religion and refusing to die, which makes people very embarrassed".

But all in all, there is such a big writer who has three views and positions that are quite consistent and similar, and Zhou Huaian finally no longer has to go into battle on his own at every turn, and has to work overtime to write and publish corresponding editorials in addition to official duties to refute, correct, and guide the social atmosphere and public opinion.

In another part of the city, Luo Yin, who had just finished presiding over a discussion meeting, also rubbed his forehead a little tiredly, and returned to the small courtyard of his new residence. It is only one street away from the library building and the synagogue of the Great Seminar, so it is extremely convenient to get around.

The small courtyard itself is backed by the noisy street, and there are bookstores, printing bureaus, stationery shops, etc., which have a sense of quiet and bookish surroundings in the middle of the noise, and it can be said that they are careless in the selection of the site.

The pattern in the courtyard is not large, but it is fully furnished, full of green vines and wall vines, among the houses, which are not luxurious and rich at all, but in the clean and tidy, there is a sense of tranquility and elegance. It's just that every time Luo Yin steps here, there are still some sighs and dislocations in a foreign country, suddenly separated from the world.

Especially when he lies in the Sujin futon every night, listening to the sound and leakage outside, and feeling the heat of the warm stove around him, he can't help but recall all kinds of vivid and delicate life in Chang'an in his early years.

Then every time I open my eyes, I have to repeatedly confirm that everything around me is not in my own dreams; But I couldn't help but feel a little wet in my eyes and sideburns. Luo Yin lifted the curtain while thinking, but couldn't help but sigh.

For behind the curtain sat a figure kneeling, and in a magnetic voice that he was somewhat familiar with, he bowed:

"Slave Yunying, I was ordered to come and take care of the nobles' daily life. I don't want to give up. ”

At this moment, Luo Yin's mind seemed to be buzzing with a big bang, and his chest seemed to be pinched by some invisible and inexplicable thing, and he couldn't say any words anymore.

Seeing people's thoughts, it seems to be back to the sunny spring more than ten years ago, the fragrant grass is delicious, and the beauty with makeup in the Zhongling waterside banquet joked "Luo Xiucai has not yet taken off his white?" And let him read out the poem "Even Title" with emotion:

Zhong Ling was drunk for more than ten springs, and saw Yun Ying's upper body again. I am not famous, I am not married, and I may not be as good as others. ”

- I'm the dividing line -

In the land of Xichuan in Jiannan Road, in the wilderness of Hanzhou in the northeast of Chengdu, it has become a battlefield that lasts for more than ten miles.

The thin ice and snow that had just fallen for a short time were soon trampled into cold and slippery patches of mud by countless legs and feet that ran and chased and fought. Then it was soon covered in dumped corpses and flowing blood, and turned into mottled colors of gray and black.

And in the sky above these corpses and blood water, countless Chiyan banners of the Dongchuan Army that were struggling to shake and move forward, and the Feihuang Banner that escorted the Xichuan Army, the Blue Bird Banner of the Shanxi Army, and the Winged Tiger Banner of the Shence Town Army, were densely disturbed together, and they were cut off, broken, and trampled on the ground.

At the same time, in Jinguan City, there is also a city full of chickens and dogs; However, it was the Shence New Army who was responsible for staying in the city, together with the Xichuan Ya soldiers, and the whole city of Dasuo copied those giants, wealthy families, big households, and official eunuchs who might have something to do with and collud with Yang Shili, a thief in Dongchuan.

And on the gate tower of the sub-city where the Tang Dynasty Emperor refuge, Zhang Jun, a bachelor of Hanlin and a member of the military department, and Zhang Jun, a member of the branch of the military department, said bitterly to Tang Xizong, who was watching the movement with great interest: "Holy Lord Mingjian, this matter cannot be repeated, repeatedly. ”

"The Tian brothers are incompetent and incompetent, and they have repeatedly changed their ways with selfish intentions, but what is in the way of the Holy Lord's reputation and virtue is hindered."

The brothers Du Rangneng, a scholar from the Chinese Academy, and Du Honghui, a scholar from Hanlin, are also particularly chattering.

"If it is allowed to continue, where will Jiannan Sanchuan not be chaotic; Not to mention that it is not safe to walk on the left now. ”

"That's enough, Tian Gong Xingshu's escort is still quite effective, but it's just that there is nothing to do, and I have to continue to rely on it. This matter will not be pursued, but you don't have to mention it again. ”

Tang Xizong waved his hand a little impatiently.

At this time, a blood-stained colonel suddenly appeared in Taicheng on horseback and shouted loudly.

"The battle ahead is urgent, and I request that the Xingzai and Jieya quickly send troops to respond."
