The fifth volume destroys the barbarians and sweeps the world

When the smoke rose from the cooking, the Dingnan army sent buckets of hot water and towels, and after the people washed honestly, they went to eat with the soldiers.

It was still yesterday's long table and bench, pickled vegetables, coarse grain buns, and noodle soup with egg splashes, and the people were happy with each other, and they ushered in a happy morning.

Yang Baihu walked in with a yawn, went to Li Erniu's side, and said: "There will be many people here today, Lao Tzu is tight-handed, you organize the villagers to take care of Lao Tzu." ”

Li Erniu hurriedly got up and said, "Although the general commands, Lao Er will definitely not dare to refuse." ”

Yang Baihu smiled and said: "That's good, let Qingzhuang help maintain order, and the women will go to boil water and cook."

You are all locals, and it is more convenient for you to talk and do things than under Lao Tzu.

Then pick some daughters-in-law and girls, and organize women to wash. ”

Li Erniu nodded again and again, and on the spot, he took his two sons and organized more than 100 young men to walk out of the barracks, and followed the Dingnan Army to start picking up people.

Greeted by a long queue, led groups of lost and depressed chaotic people to register, and while comforting, they were sent to the barracks to be taken inside to be cleaned up.

Half a moon later, on the blue waves, forty warships followed the hust, forty huge ships of fortune rode the wind and waves, and in the middle was a huge ship as majestic as a mountain.

When the monsoon at sea had just begun to turn, the Dingnan Navy finally showed its hideous face and marched towards Taiwan with 50,000 rebellious people.

At the head of the spacious giant ship, behind the majestic guns, several elegant chaise longues are lined up side by side, covered by a fancy awning.

Shen Shouchong was bare-chested, with only a pair of shorts under his dark skin, and was carefully cutting a fresh sea fish with great interest.

Then he picked up a thin slice of raw fish meat with a knife, stuffed it directly into his mouth and chewed it, and shook his head again and again to taste it, as if he was enjoying a comfortable and luxurious feast.

Watching Huang Zongxi staggering over, Shen Shouchong smiled and said, "After lying down for so many days, Huang Dagongzi is finally willing to get up?" ”

Huang Zongxi said angrily: "I didn't get my military salary in vain. Although he was lying in bed, he didn't delay his work. ”

Shen Shouchong didn't get up either, smiled and stretched out his hand to invite Huang Zongxi to sit down, and the two chatted with each other.

The combination of civil and military is a military regulation formulated by the Dingnan Army, and it is no longer a matter of civil dignity and military inferiority, the status of the two sides is equal, and the things they deal with are different.

After sitting for a moment, Huang Zongxi seemed to be talking to himself, and seemed to talk to Shen Shouchong:

"It is still the wisdom of the Marquis of Qin, the government and the opposition rely on hundreds of officials to seek power, the parties set off a party struggle to govern, the wealthy collude with officials to make huge profits, and the people want small profits from sending land, all of them are greedy and excessively damage the national strength.

How many people are willing to sacrifice for the Ming Dynasty?

Since people's hearts are greedy, it is better to guide them outward, and not to cause trouble on their own one-third of an acre. ”

Shen Shouchong asked, "Since the Marquis of Qin has won the trust of the Son of Heaven. There is also a force that can influence Donglin and the Restoration Society, why not promote the change of law to make the country strong, and enrich the country and the people? ”

Huang Zongxi laughed, then shook his head and sighed: "Changing the law, isn't it a trick to rob the rich and help the poor, and adjust the distribution of interests?"

Is it to reduce the interests of the heavenly nobles, or the interests of the Wenchen family, or the interests of the merchant people?

Messing around is either overturning and starting over, or balancing up and down. Finally, they walk into a dead end, and the cycle repeats itself.

Since the beginning of the summer, thousands of years. Which generation of famous ministers who have not changed the law, and how can they really set off the prosperity of China without swerving? ”

Seeing that Shen Shouchong shook his head and seemed to disagree, Huang Zongxi smiled and said: "Guan Zhong changed the law, Qi Huan was the hegemon, but in the end, it was the Qin State that ruled the world.

Shang Ying changed the law, and Yingzheng was finally called the first emperor, but he died in two lifetimes.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty chased the desert and the Han Dynasty was destroyed, and Tang Taizong shook the Western Regions and Tang did not. Fan Zhongyan and Wang Anshi turbulent the Northern Song Dynasty, and Zhang Juzheng of this dynasty died and died, who stopped the decline of China? ”

Shen Shouchong's eyes lit up, and he suddenly realized, "That's why the Marquis of Qin is running the sea with all his might, intending to feudal colonize overseas, you literati really see it through." ”

Huang Zongxi nodded and said: "As the Marquis of Qin said, the West is a small country with widows and people, and it is greedy both inside and outside, so it conquers the four seas and plunders the four directions for selfish desires.

I have a large number of people in China, and I am greedy inside, so I am encircled in the central country, cutting the flesh and blood of my compatriots in the Ming Dynasty with a knife to satisfy my temporary desires.

Marquis Qin's move is to tear apart the hypocrisy of China, break the comfort of China, and use the wealth of the four seas to arouse the greed of China again.

Only greed is the source of personal ambition, and only the nation's external ambition is the only way out for China's rise.

No matter in the past or in the present, no matter in the future, that is, if you are not a saint, you will be a sinner. ”

Shen Shouchong was silent, but there was a fire burning in his heart.

He suddenly remembered what Qin Haoming said at the beginning, this is the best era, and it is also the worst era.

The huge fleet of sailors, with their sails open and following the monsoon, seven days later, Taiwan was already in sight.

Shen Shouchong commanded the navy to cruise on the north side of Taiwan, on the decks of nearly 100 large ships, and the Dingnan army was crowded with people, looking at their future homeland.

Lu Xinrong, the governor of the navy, also sent a guide to explain the situation and arrangements in Taiwan to Shen Shouchong and Huang Zongxi.

"The island of Taiwan runs from northeast to southwest, narrow from north to south, wide from east to west, there are several calm deep water in the south that can be used as docks, and only one in the north can be used as a port, which is where our navy is stationed.

Lu Du considered that he would have to communicate with the imperial court in the future, and it was too inconvenient for the south, so he chose this place as the first garrison of the Dingnan Army.

The waters here can be used to moor large ships, and from here, the terrain rises from north to south to the central mountain range, and the east and west to descend. It is a hilly basin.

The land in the east is too narrow to be developed, but in the west there is a large basin that can be cultivated and settled. ”

Huang Zongxi stroked his palms and laughed, and Shen Shouchong said to everyone: "Cao Shengxin leads the sailors to patrol and protect the safety of the soldiers and civilians who have landed, especially to prevent the Hongmaofan in the direction of Penghu. ”

Cao Shengxin smiled: "The last general obeys the order!" Please rest assured, with the strength of my Dingnan Army at this time, who the hell dares to compete with us. ”

Shen Shouchong nodded, turned to Huang Zongxi and smiled: "I'm tired of Lord Huang asking two thousand foot soldiers to cooperate with you, inspect the construction of standards, divide the area, build a warehouse and barracks, and settle everyone down first." ”

Under Shen Shouchong's military order, more than 90 warships began to lay down small boats one by one, carrying boatloads of craftsmen and soldiers to Taiwan.

The soldiers immediately rowed hard, and the boat flew quickly towards the mouth of the Tamsui River like a thin dragon with more than a hundred small boats.

The blue sea shimmers with golden light, the moist and gentle sea breeze blows the ends of the hair, and the gentle freshwater river flows into the sea, and the emerald green flat on both sides of the river sweeps behind you.

The blue sky and white clouds, the gurgling water, the joyful singing of seabirds, and the dense schools of fish, the vibrant Taiwan, and the energetic future Taipei have opened their enthusiastic arms to the Dingnan Army.
