And what Zhao Yinggong thought most deeply that he had to leave his body for a while, and was deeply intoxicated and immersed in it, was a thing that looked quite brand-new, but had been rubbed back and forth to break out the mottled curled edges.

It was an excerpt from the later "Analysis of the Classes in Chinese Society" and "Report on the Investigation of the Hunan Peasant Movement", which was rebranded as a pamphlet entitled "Analysis of the Work and Strata of the People".

The opening sentence is: "Who is our enemy?" Who are our friends? This issue is the primary issue of Dingjie in the world. ”

"In the past, all the struggles and revolts of the common people in China had little effect, and the basic reason for this was that they could not unite their true friends to attack the real enemy."

"Under the small-scale peasant economy, the vast number of peasants at the bottom of society are actually ignorant and numb and afraid of change... Although they are always the first group to rise up against the past dynasties, under all kinds of injustice and cruel oppression, as long as there is the slightest possibility and sign of peace, they will continue to sink and endure. ”

"Merchants are the most active group in time, but they also have the least moral and ethical bottom line, as long as there is the slightest opportunity to pursue profits, they will not hesitate to run on the road, buy and sell everything in the world that can be priced, even if it is to hang themselves."

"The handicraftsmen and small workshop owners of the towns, bound and bound by professional guilds and their financial resources, are self-entrenched and do not want to make progress."

"In the troubled times, the scholars are also a group of people who are divided into different demands and seek a way out. Scholars from big families and eunuch families are unable to violate class attributes, but often steal their names and deceive the world under the banner of pity for the people's livelihood; ”

However, as soon as their vital interests are touched, their true colors will be immediately revealed, and the interests of the class to which they belong will be resolutely and brutally maintained; Treating everything without mercy and redoubling its cruelty, daring to rise up against and overthrow the humble existence of vested interests and the existing situation. ”

"Although there is no lack of sympathy for the suffering of the people and the existence of painful thoughts, most of them have the weakness and compromise to fear drastic changes. always like wishful thinking and hope for the least price, or bloodless payment; to impress the insatiable superiors and cede part of the exploited profits. Many end up trying to deceive themselves and perpetuate the painful and desperate situation. ”

Not far from him, another small group of people in a makeshift discussion group was also amazed and amazed; They look rather faceless and have a certain stiffness, brutality, or fierceness that lacks restraint. However, it was the new generals who had joined the rebel army from other departments and were selected to join this training class.

"This is the art of slaying dragons, even if it is the most superficial part, it is also teaching everyone how to compete for people's hearts and qi; He dared to release it so easily, as a well-known thing. ”

"Is that so arrogant? Aren't you afraid that after these things spread, they will fall into the hands of people who don't deserve them, and hinder your own great cause? ”

"Stupid, this is a great mind and boldness. Since people are not afraid and don't care about these things scattering everywhere, they are naturally confident that they have corresponding countermeasures and means of control, and there is no need for your careful thoughts and distractions. ”

This is the confidence and credential of the hope of being the master of a generation. Isn't it worth following and respecting and worshipping our generation? Giving up this great opportunity and future from the dragon, do you still expect to bring this thing back again, that's really stupid. ”

。。。。。。。

And on the stone city wall in Jiangning City, the rushing river and the swirling river wind serve as the background.

With a certain Li Ghost seeing Li Kui's curious mood, Zhou Huai'an also met this so-called "fellow door", a skinny and skeletal monk who could no longer tell his age, with a wrinkled face full of sorrow and a strange appearance;

"Shi Jiaxuzhong, I have seen the big boss Wan An."

Before he was brought, Zhou Huai'an already had a general understanding. This Xuzhong is actually a rare strange person known as a "poet monk" in this era, and Zheng Gu, a well-known partridge bachelor in the contemporary literary world, is also a close friend and close friend for many years.

However, because the imperial court awarded a generous reward a few days ago, Dasuo has people and things related to himself, a "rebel demon monk". As a result, the local officials were anxious to seek merit and achievements, and the one who was living in seclusion in the countryside of Yuanzhou and was quite famous and brought a "false" in the legal name, regarded the false rumors as the hidden comrades and internal responders of the anti-thieves, and was arrested, tortured, and interrogated.

Then, as the righteous army approached, he was escorted to the Zhenhai Jiedu envoy as some kind of merit certificate; As a result, on the way, because of the swarming rebel army in various places, they only stayed in Jiangning City by mistake. So, there was such a serendipitous meeting.

"Your great kindness of releasing the innocent and releasing the innocent should be remembered by the liberators."

In the void, but the voice with low eyebrows and pleasing eyes pleaded:

"Now that I have been freed, I also ask the big chief to remember that I am old and unbearable, and I am willing to pray for the rest of my life."

"How can this be, isn't Buddhism the most about cause and effect? Since you have suffered this unjustified calamity because of me, it is natural that there is cause and effect with me and the rebels; Naturally, we must also arrange corresponding methods and means to compensate. ”

Zhou Huai'an waved his hand and interrupted him undoubtedly.

"So before you pay off this cause and effect, you don't have to think about retreating to the mountains and forests, escaping the world and cultivating anything. Or stay honestly in the rebel army.,Wait for the corresponding arrangements.。。 ”

"By the way, since you are known as a contemporary poet and monk, have you ever known Pi Rixiu, have you ever known the tortoise Meng; Now they are all under my command for the living people; Presumably, with the compassion of the generosity of the monks, you have a common language with them. ”

"By the way, you claim to be a poet and monk for a while, and you can have many old friends who have dealings, and you can also name me to see if you can come out to do things for the righteous army and serve the people who are suffering in the world."

And Zhou Huai'an's intentions are not untargeted. Before that, he specially asked people to find his works to read one or two, and felt that in the case of poetry and poetry, this guy can be regarded as a rare clear stream in this filthy world; Although there is always a kind of escape plot because of the monks.

In the early years, when he returned from wandering, he really hid in the mountains and retreated, and also educated the people in the nearby countryside; Only then was the crime of "demagogizing and inciting foolish people" added. Even among the Buddhists, there are slightly high-level intellectuals, and those who are in the prosperous Dayi to gain fame and eyeballs, and take the prosperity of incense and the grandeur of the temple as their own responsibility, are completely different things.

However, Xuzhong was stunned and dumbfounded by this, but he had never seen such a brazen and arrogant person in his heart. However, he consciously resisted and was incompetent, which would only harm this body in vain, and he smiled helplessly and wryly, and folded his hands and said:

"The big boss is so gracious, poor monk. The poor monk is real. There is nothing to say. Only but from what I invited. ”

He bowed his head again and asked again.

"But I don't hurt Beren, and there are Beren who are troubled because of me. Although the poor monk was always reluctant to make a confession to the vest, he still inevitably implicated and hindered the net worth of several old friends in the past. Please also ask the big boss to be merciful and be able to wait for the opportunity to rescue or release him, so why should the liberator give up this skin to repay him."

"Well, I'm sure there will be news soon."

Zhou Huai'an thought for a while and suddenly remembered that in fact, in Yuanzhou, where he was arrested, except for a few rural dock forts that he had no time to take care of, most of them were already under the control of the Taiping army.

So, it's just a gesture; But you can get a well-known "poet monk" as a mascot on the table, which is also a good result. At least in the spiritual and cultural field advocated by the Taiping Army, it is also a shadow and a backhand that can be had.

is the so-called truth that blessing and misfortune do not go alone, and soon Zhou Huai'an got one bad news after another.

"The rebel army fighting in the south suffered great defeats under the cities of Jintan, Yanling, Lishui, and Liyang. ."

"What, Jurong City has also been lost."

Zhou Huai'an could only secretly hate and scold the last MMP, the combat effectiveness of most of the rebels is really scum, and it has completely broken through the lower limit that people have expectations.

"The Gaidu under the city of Qu'a has already sent people to break through the siege to ask for help from us."

What kind of joke is this, the other party's command is known as several times the army of his own, and it will actually be besieged. It's hard to know how to complain.

"Where the hell did so many officers and soldiers come from?"

。。。。。。

In Jurong City, which was newly recovered by the official army, the officers and soldiers who entered the city first could not wait to wave the banner of purging the remnants of the thieves, and began to plunder and loot people's homes everywhere.

Even Ding Congshi, as the main general, did not mean to restrain or restrict them in the slightest, because this was one of the benefits and prerequisites that he promised and promised in advance in order to drive them to work hard.

Looking at these groups of women carrying large and small burdens, leading livestock or dragging crying and crying, shuttling back and forth through the streets and alleys; Or wandering on the street from time to time smashing doors and knocking on windows, once they find any movement, they do not hesitate to smash in, provoking a scream and cry, or the officers and soldiers who retreat out with fresh blood stains on their faces full of gloom.

Especially a new pawn who was only the age of a middle-aged man, who had not yet taken off his childishness, came out of a shop with a flushed face under the clamor and coaxing of many evil pawns and veterans, and then was chased out by a naked woman, madly and hoarsely, screaming and criing, scratching and biting, and chopping his face with anger and chopping his face all over with blood;

Ding Congshi not only did not get angry and scolded him, but even showed a certain expression of remembrance and understanding.

Because he also remembered his early experience in the army, when he was still fifteen years old, he joined the village soldiers who rose up with his uncle in the Pang Xun Rebellion; then was recruited into the Changzhou regimental training; And his not-so-beautiful first experience was with an unnamed village woman.

Then he fought with the back and forth of the official army, constantly slaughtering and suppressing those hungry people, thieves, and even the local regiments and village soldiers from other towns; And the taste of women he can taste is also from the rough village woman to the small jasper of the wealthy household; and to the rich gentry's ladies, the group of teachers and courtyards. Even the noble lady of the eunuch's house has not encountered it...

As long as he can afford to hold a sword, this troubled world continues; Naturally, all kinds of women of identity will be sent to him after the family is broken. This is also the life that these local military disciples who have been licking blood from the sword for generations are accustomed to.

It was only after riding a horse for several blocks that he mediated and disposed of several cases in which different officers and military units crossed the line and competed with each other for goods. After the contradictions and conflicts that arose due to the uneven partition. But he never saw the existence of the gentry and virtuous people who put out the incense case as expected and used flowers to welcome the gentry and virtuous people of the official army.

"Is it possible that this city is full of goods that don't know how to lift?"

And the entourage beside him crossed the line and complained a little impatiently.

"It's all come to this point, and no one has shown up to thank us and reward the army, and we have wasted all our hard work and driven away the thieves' hard work and hard work."

However, at this moment, Ding Congshi became more and more cautious and cautious; Because it's so unusual. Then he had people crash into a large mansion that had been sealed and was already in disarray.

Then from the crowd that had gathered and been frightened and scattered, he finally found a small servant and an old man related to the family; Only then did I know a huge bad news from the frightened and incoherent narration of the other party.

It turned out that the people in the city who had a little weight in this sentence were all approached by those grass thieves according to the household register and map shortly after the fall of the city; One by one, they raided their homes and no clans, and almost all of them were escorted out of the city and disappeared.

Therefore, in the gardens of these wealthy mansions and official residences in the city, there are only some slaves and servants who have been forcibly dismissed by the grass thieves and are unwilling to leave; Others are far-flung clansmen who narrowly escaped the catastrophe. Or the poor and poor people who have been displaced by the city take the opportunity to occupy the eagle's nest and enjoy it.

After slashing and killing a batch of these mud legs that had defiled the nobles' residences on the spot and venting them well, Ding Congshi remembered another thing, and hurriedly ordered to the left and right:

"Stop the troops in the city."

"I'm afraid there's something wrong with this, but I promised them to be good."

One of his subordinates suddenly spoke up to dissuade him.

"If it's not appropriate, I'm going to do it too."

Ding Congshi showed a rare stern attitude.

"Take my personal guards with you, and you will be severely punished if you dare to push and pull and delay."

"This... This.. ”

Among the subordinates on the left and right, they still looked at him with some hesitation, but they were reluctant to move. After all, they were all newly ordered to be under Ding Congshi's command, so the authority of the imperial order to prohibit them was inevitably a little insufficient.

"You rat-eyed things,"

Ding Congshi couldn't help but become more and more angry, but he could only scold bitterly.

"The gentlemen and officials in this city who can work together and do things for us are gone. The treasury is also empty.,It's already a big trouble.。。 ”

"If they are allowed to go on unrestrained and wanton, I am afraid that even ordinary people will not be able to survive much; Could it be that we have to get to an empty dead city, as a place to stop and eat. ”

"In the long run, without these hukou Ding Zhuang, what will we rely on to provide food and clothing in the future, and who do we expect to pay for the army."
