Chapter 132, Vigilance

Now this blessing is not the blessing in history, and the reason why it is not is actually because of the "blessing" that he provided to the Manchu Qing in order to trap the Manchus. Longevity. anointing". Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoThis is really completely beyond Zheng Sen's expectations. For the first time, Zheng Sen found that history began to change beyond his expectations, although this change is still very small, although the inertia of history is still reflected to a certain extent, for example, this child is also named "Fu Lin", but this change still arouses Zheng Sen's alarm: you can't do all kinds of things that change history, and at the same time expect history to remain the same so that you can continue to predict the prophet.

Zheng Sen then reviewed his thoughts on "Fu. Longevity. anointing" and finally came to the conclusion that the "blessing. Longevity. The use of "ointment" was not as successful as I thought at the beginning, and some of them were quite successful, such as using it to provoke infighting among the indigenous people of Taiwan or something. Longevity. The hatred provoked by the "anointing" has been very deep, and almost all of their energy has been put into slaughtering each other, as well as sucking "Fu. Longevity. The ointment "went above." Now they have completely lost the strength or even the will to resist the Zheng family's development of Taiwan. In the past, the people of the Zheng family had to cut down those "sacred trees", and they had to worry about whether they would be attacked by the Taiwanese natives, but now, most of the Taiwanese aborigines will choose to cut down the "divine trees" and replace them with "Fu. Longevity. anointing". It can be said that when dealing with a lowly organized force such as the natives, "Fu. Longevity. Paste" was an unprecedented success.

But in the poisoning campaign against the Manchus, "Fu. Longevity. The role of "ointment" is far from meeting Zheng Sen's expectations. Zheng Sen originally hoped that "Fu. Longevity. On the one hand, "ointment" can bring him more income, and on the other hand, it can also poison the Manchu Qing Dynasty, so that the Manchu Eight Banners will become a "two-gun general" who cannot do without smoking guns, thus completely losing their combat effectiveness. But what is happening today shows that this goal has not been achieved at all. Although the sale of "Fu. Longevity. Of course, some of the wood exchanged from the Manchu Qing Dynasty, especially iron birch, was definitely earned, and when it was not possible to mass-produce high-quality steel, these iron birch became an important raw material (or even the only available raw material for some parts) for the production of the stressed parts of Zheng Sen's precious machines, and its role was irreplaceable. From this point of view, this is a success. But as soon as Zheng Sen made a decision to sell "Fu. Longevity. Zheng Sen himself had to admit that he had failed comprehensively on this issue. The Manchus did not appear that everyone smoked crows. The dilemma of the film, under the control of Huang Taiji, "Fu. Longevity. The side effects of the ointment were quickly contained, and it didn't even take much effort, Zheng Sen certainly got the iron birch and got a certain economic income, but the Manchus also got a very useful medicine, in this sense, the Manchus did not suffer a loss in this transaction, and this transaction was actually no different from their trade with the "Eight Families" in Shanxi. What was originally planned to be poisoning turned into a real deal.

"It's even a rival! Fundamentally, the reason for this failure is that I did not adhere to the style of seeking truth from facts, and did not notice that things are developing and changing. The Manchu Qing Dynasty today is directly equated with the crow of 1840. During the war, and even the Manchu Qing in the last years of the Manchu Dynasty. thought that since the British Empire in later generations would be able to use crows. If you come to poison my Qing Dynasty, then I can draw a scoop based on the gourd, but I didn't consider that today's Manchu Qing is not the Manchu Qing that has decayed to the point of being a mess many years later, and made the same mistake as 'carving a boat for a sword'. Zheng Sen thought like this, and unconsciously remembered his middle school politics books and middle school history books back then, "Speaking of which, when I was studying, although my grades in these two courses were also good, I really didn't learn these seriously at that time, I only regarded it as a thing to cheat scores, and even thought that the things on it were all fake." Now that I think about it, I find that some of the big truths mentioned above are actually very reasonable, and it can even be said that it is the crystallization of many people's life wisdom, such as seeking truth from facts, analyzing specific problems, and looking at problems from the perspective of connection and development. Moreover, if I have conscientiously studied history and truly studied the history book "Summary of the Successful Experiences and Failures of the Rebellions of the Past Dynasties", I should be able to soberly guide the most basic truth: the success of the successful should not be based on petty tricks and on the basis of relying on the opponent to faint. ”

Zheng Sen couldn't help but think of an article by Mr. Lu Xun that he had learned in middle school, the title of the article Zheng Sen was not very clear about the economy, but Zheng Sen remembered the sentence at the end of the article clearly: "Tricksters are skilled and effective, but they are limited." Therefore, there is no one who has done great things in this way. ”

"I sold crows to the Manchus. Isn't the film also 'ghost'? Just because I know a little bit about the development trend of history, I am arrogant, thinking that I can play with those influential figures in history as fools, and if I continue to do this, isn't it like I have plunged into the quagmire of 'ghosts'? A traverser, who has knowledge that people of this era do not have, clearly knows the general trend of history that others do not know, in such a situation, does not rely on dignified means, relying on better construction, more advanced ideas and organizations, and finally the crushing power advantage that comes from this to solve the problem, but wants to play conspiracy with the ancients. Engage in ghosts' to solve the problem, what is the difference between this and the kind of teasing woman who wears the Qing Dynasty and forgets any education she has received when she wears it to the Qing Dynasty, and pounces on it to engage in palace fighting? ”

"Criticism and self-criticism" is one of the magic weapons of a very successful organization in history, and now Zheng Sen is surrounded by a lack of people who can really criticize him, and his father and uncles are far from even superior to him in strategic vision, so it is often difficult to point out his mistakes. Under such circumstances, Zheng Sen feels that "self-criticism" has become even more important.

Zeng Zi said: "I have three provinces in my day." Although the content of reflection is different, Zheng Sen feels that this practice of reflecting on himself and self-criticism from time to time is exactly what he needs.

"The reason why I make such a mistake and dig a little deeper, isn't it because of laziness, a person who wants to take shortcuts? However, on the road to achieving great things, the idea of being lazy, afraid of difficulties, and taking shortcuts is very harmful. 'Bi Yao Shun's Geng Jiexi, both obey the way and get the way. He is rampant, and the only shortcut is an embarrassment. Qu Zi's words are so reasonable. ”

Thinking of this, Zheng Sen shouted: "Liu De, bring me pen and ink." ”

Liu De responded, and after a while, the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone were ready, Zheng Sen splashed ink, and wrote these two sentences of Qu Yuan on snow-white rice paper, then put down the pen, stood up straight, looked at it again, shook his head, and asked Liu Dedao: "Ade, how do you see my writing?" ”

"It was written by the Major General, and it was excellent at the time." Liu De said.

Zheng Sen listened, laughed and said: "Ade, to be a man to tell the truth, if you praise me for anything else, I may really believe it, but if you want to write, hehe, my words, probably can only be evaluated like this." Well, Ade, you remember, that's what to say: the paper on which the major general writes is very white and very white; The ink of the major general is also very dark; Tsk, they are all the best and the best...... Hahaha. Well, that's enough. ”

Then Zheng Sen looked at his work a few more times, shook his head and said: "Mr. Wang criticized my words, and used four words: 'full of craftsmanship', this word is indeed 'full of craftsmanship'!" Fortunately, I didn't write this to be a calligrapher. ”

Then he turned back to Liu De and said, "Ade, when the ink is dry, find some paste and stick it on the wall over here." Don't frame, you know? ”

Liu De obviously didn't quite understand what Zheng Sen meant, but he still agreed, and then went down to find the paste.

At this time, Zheng Sen sat down and seriously began to consider the possible impact of Fu Lin becoming the crown prince.

"Today's Fulin is Huang Taiji's eighth son who died young, and it is said that he is the son of Huang Taiji's favorite concubine called Hai Lanzhu or Xiao Yuer's woman, and it is said that he is very loved by Huang Taiji. He was predestined to be the heir as soon as he was born, but in less than half a year, he died before he even had time to pick his name. Well, it seems that it is said that his wife Hai Lanzhu was very sad because of this, and she was depressed from then on, and finally died of illness. It seems that when Hai Lanzhu was about to die of illness, Huang Taiji was leading the army to a decisive battle with the Ming Dynasty army in Songshan, and after hearing the news that Hai Lanzhu was critically ill, he immediately convened a military meeting, made specific arrangements for the siege of Xingshan and other places, and then left the army that was preparing for a decisive battle, and immediately rushed back to Shengjing day and night. It's really a bit of a taste of love for beauty on the river. However, when Huang Taiji returned to Shengjing, Hai Lanzhu was already dead, and Huang Taiji, who learned the bad news, actually fell into a coma on the spot, and since then his body has been worse day by day, and finally died in just two years. Although I don't know how true this story is, but now that this Fulin is not dead, I am afraid that I will have to prepare for Huang Taiji to live through 1643, and even until the collapse of the Southern Ming Dynasty, or even longer. I'm afraid that my expected opponent will also change from Dolgon, who can't even handle the relationship between his three brothers, to Huang Taiji. ”
