Chapter 37: Lu Zizhi (II)
"Damn, it's really god, the ancients didn't know that the density of alcohol is less than that of water, and the higher the alcohol content, the easier it is for the wine to float on it, but they can also deduce the trick I use, this Lu Jiang is really not covered." Wang Yue was slandered in his heart.
"Sir, since his eyes are like torches, I don't know if you can guess what I think at this moment?" Wang Yue asked with a smile, getting rid of a gray wolf.
"What you are thinking about at the moment is how to recruit me, if it doesn't work, it is estimated that you will definitely not let me leave this Liangshan Shui Village. But judging by your expression, there is no murderous intent, presumably if it doesn't work out, it will be banned from me. Right? General Lu still said unhurriedly.
"Mr. Takami! Students ask Mr. Bai to be their teacher! Wang Yue got up and bowed to the end.
See you in the poor dagger, since you understand everything, we won't be polite to you! If you are willing to follow me, I will worship you as a teacher. I don't want to follow me, throw it into the cellar, don't beat you, don't scold you, and offer you delicious food and drink. Anyway, you are alone now, and you are not a well-known person, and no one has reported Yang Zhiqi missing! Wang Yue thought fiercely in his heart.
Hearing this, Wang Yue knew that it was almost there, so he immediately put the tea bowl at the moment, arched his hand towards Lu Jiang, and said: "Wang Yue has a reluctant request, I wonder if Mr. can agree?" â
"Leader Wang, please?" General Lu said calmly.
"Okay, I'll talk about it later." Wang Yue nodded and said: "Today, the emperor is mediocre, ignores the government, traitorous ministers are in charge, corrupt officials are rampant and domineering, outside the Jin Kingdom, Liao State, Western Xia, Goryeo are eyeing each other, it can be said that the internal and external troubles, the people are not living, the Great Song Dynasty is terminally ill, there is no cure, Wang Yue is not talented, I am willing to carry a three-foot sword, for the people of the world to kill a Lang Lang Qiankun, but please I alone, I don't know what year and month, so Wang Yue implored Mr. to go out of the mountain to help." After speaking, he bowed to the ground towards General Lu.
General Lu stepped forward and helped Wang Yue up and looked at Wang Yue.
"I don't know what the king's leader is up to?" General Lu asked with a serious face.
"The world is for the public, the selection of talents and abilities, and the cultivation of faith and harmony. Therefore, people do not only kiss their relatives, do not only have sons and sons, so that the old have the end, the strong have use, the young have growth, the widowed, the lonely, the lonely, and the disabled are all supported, and the men have a share, and the women have a home. If you abandon the goods on the ground, you don't have to hide them for yourself; The power of evil does not come from the body, and it does not have to be for oneself. It is because of the plot that it is closed but not prosperous, the theft and thieves are not done, and the foreign household is not closed. Wang Yue uttered the famous passage in the Book of Rites.
Lu Jiang learned to be rich and familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics, so naturally he knew this paragraph, and said at the moment: "Everyone dreams of Datong society, but it is difficult to achieve it. â
"There must always be a dream, if it comes true, it is man-made, although the road is difficult and dangerous, although tens of millions of people will go to it!" Wang Yue was suddenly shocked, and then said firmly.
Lu will be impressed by Wang Yue's sudden momentum, and immediately kneel down in his robe, bow his head, and say, "Lu will meet the lord." â
"Hahahaha, sir, please get up, please get up, with Mr. help, great things can be accomplished, and great things can be expected." Wang Yue excitedly helped up General Lu, laughed loudly, and said.
Historically, General LĂź was indeed abandoned by the imperial court because of his criticism of Hua Shigang's policies, and was not allowed to be an official. Later, Fang La rebelled in the south, so he took refuge in Fang La to give him advice, and Lu Jiang also made indelible contributions to the rapid rise of Fang La Group, allowing him to enter the core of Fang La Group at a young age, and became the chief think tank of Fang La Group in one fell swoop.
But because the book on his body is too angry, and his speech is ugly, it is like Wei Zheng, a famous minister in the early Tang Dynasty, who is outspoken about anything, and often says that the lord can't get off the stage, and Fang La doesn't want to see him after a long time.
After the Fangla uprising, he also organized some people to follow him at the mouth of Fuyang Shenlikou. It should be said that his strategic vision is very good. After Fang La occupied Hangzhou, he advocated first seizing Jinling, which was not heavily guarded, holding the Yangtze River, and then taking advantage of the situation to seize the southeastern prefectures and counties. Fang La, however, was overly optimistic that the corrupt Beizong Dynasty would not be able to send heavy troops soon, and the rebel army could calmly seize Jiangnan. Therefore, most of the main forces waved south, only caring about capturing two Zhejiang counties; In the north, where the main point was blocked, only a partial division of Fang Qifo was dispatched, which not only lost the opportunity to seize Jinling in order to achieve greater development, but also dispersed the troops, so that the rebel army was in a passive situation from the beginning in the face of the Song army's large-scale counterattack.
When the Song army approached Hangzhou, General LĂź said that "Hangzhou should be withdrawn immediately", believing that this was "the only feasible plan". Fang La was unwilling to give up the city of Hangzhou, which was won in a bloody battle. The result was a big defeat.
But General Lu is also good enough, a scholar, after being captured and escorting the capital, actually escaped from under Han Shizhong's nose (it is not denied that Tong Guan's army caused chaos because of the weapon fight in the army, but it is not easy for a scholar to slip away in the chaotic fighting scene). And after escaping, he still insisted on continuing to participate in the uprising (after Fang La was captured, there were still some people in southern Zhejiang who continued to fight). Nearly 70,000 people led by Xiangtong continued to fight against the imperial court until they finally failed and killed themselves.
It can be said that if Fang La had adopted General Lu's suggestion, at least he would not have lost so quickly, so miserably. Maybe Fang La doesn't like the book on Lu Jiang's body, Lu Jiang wants to be a minister like Wei Zheng, but the lord he met is Fang La, not Li Shimin, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, which is doomed to the end of Lu Jiang.
Here it is necessary to explain a little what is the Huashi Gang, in ancient times, "Gang" refers to a transport team, often 10 ships called a "Gang".
During the time of Huizong of the Northern Song Dynasty, the command of Huashigang at that time was the Hangzhou "Creation Bureau" and the Suzhou "Ying Feng Bureau", etc., and they were ordered by the emperor to loot the rare cultural relics in the southeast region. Because of the place where the Huashi fleet passed, the local people had to supply the money valley and civil servants; In some places, bridges were demolished and castles were chiseled to allow fleets to pass. Therefore, it often makes the people of Jiangnan miserable, and the "History of the Song Dynasty" records the battle of Huashigang: "Those who have poisoned the county for 20 years."
When the court heard that a common man had a stone or a flower or tree that was more delicate and chic, the official brought soldiers to break into that house and pasted it with a yellow seal, which was regarded as a tribute to the emperor and asked the people to keep it carefully. If there is even the slightest damage, they will be charged with "great disrespect", a light fine, and a heavy prison sentence. Some of the families were requisitioned with tall flowers and trees, which were inconvenient to carry, so the soldiers demolished the houses and destroyed the walls. Those errand officers and soldiers took the opportunity to extort money, and the families of those who were expropriated were often bankrupt, and some families sold their children and daughters, and fled everywhere.
Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty once got the Taihu Lake stone, four zhang high, carried a huge ship, thousands of servants, passed through the state and county, there were demolition of water gates, bridges, and the city walls were dug to pass. Unable to cope with the ships originally prepared by the Bureau, they forcibly used thousands of ships transporting grain, and even attached them to merchant ships, causing great harm for more than 20 years, with the period of political peace being the most prosperous. The officials and their gang took the opportunity to extort money and make a windfall, causing great disasters to the people in the southeast, and it was also one of the important reasons for provoking the Fangla uprising.
