"The emperor said: I know that the rebellion in the south of the Yangtze River is caused by evil demons, and the chaos is caused by the outside world, and it starts from Mani. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoThe root of the people's unrest in the world is caused by the evil cult and the foolish people, and the special edict is ordered to set up the envoy of the four states, Taizhong Doctor Zheng Zhi, to overthrow it with soldiers, return the people, set things right, calm the source of chaos, quickly calm the south of the Yangtze River, and stabilize the community. ”

"Fu Zhengzhi!"

Zheng Zhi thanked the Holy Grace, took the holy decree, and then handed it to Wu Yong, and stepped forward to greet the envoy, who was originally a chamberlain official of Zhongshu Province, surnamed Huang. Qin sent out, and Zheng Zhi naturally wanted to receive it.

Wu Yong took the holy decree, spread it out and looked at it for a long time, and saw the bright red seal made by Emperor Zhao Ji. I carefully read the Chinese characters again, and even the materials of the holy decree were carefully examined.

Zheng Zhi had already taken the attendant who had delivered the decree to the door, preparing to enter the city and settle down. Wu Yong followed him out, but he was still carefully studying the holy decree.

The imperial examination method for scholars is one of the greatest inventions of ancient Chinese rulers. With the imperial examination, theoretically speaking, everyone has a channel to rise, a channel to change from a commoner to a nobleman, and a channel to influence the country's policies and policies.

This is very different from the West, where the aristocracy, from generation to generation, is a nobleman, and is only passed down in a fixed circle. The nobility of China could be obtained by reading, which was also an important means for the Chinese dynasty to dominate a large area of territory for a long time.

It also solves the problem of many regular rebellions of the people at the bottom. Of course, there is a difference between theory and practice, and the children of the poor family, once they succeeded, they have been on the rise ever since, and this kind of plot is always only in the story. It won't be in reality, and even if it happens in reality, it's just the end of a success, not a smooth progress.

Ancient Chinese dynasties, people who worship the prime minister, people who enter the cabinet. There has never been a real low-level background, it is all the right of the scholars. Once the scholar clan is formed, it will also control the main reading resources, and a fixed aristocratic class will be formed. Even if the dynasty changes, most of these famous families will not be destroyed, and they can occupy a place in the new dynasty.

Even in the dynasties where Liu Bang and Zhu Yuanzhang came to power, the ministers of the court were mostly the world of the inherent scholars. Xiao He is also a scholar, and he is a big family in Pei County. Liu Bowen is a son of the two Zhejiang scholars, and he is also a Jinshi and the first in the Yuan Dynasty.

The theory that origin determines everything is universal from ancient times to the present, from the middle to the west. As long as classes are formed, they will only become more and more stable. Therefore, the counterattack of the bottom people will become an inspirational story, but after all, it is only an inspirational story, and it cannot become universal. The fact that it has become a story that has been told by everyone is itself a testament to the rarity of the event.

Regardless of ancient or modern, whether Chinese or Western. The people at the bottom are looking for the psychological balance of the class gap in this inspirational story.

Wu Yong followed behind Zheng Zhi with this holy decree until Zheng Zhi arranged the Chinese book attendant from Tokyo. Looking at the holy decree in Wu Yong's hand again, Zheng Zhi's face slowly lowered, and he opened his mouth and said to Wu Yong: "What are you still doing with this holy decree?" ”

Wu Yong didn't understand the meaning of Zheng Zhi's words, and replied: "The student saw the holy decree for the first time, and after watching it for a while, he turned around and found a treasure chest for Xianggong to lock up and put it away. ”

Zheng Zhi seemed to be a little angry, and said again: "Lock it up, it's full of words, it's nonsense!" ”

It turned out that Zheng Zhi was angry that this Zhao Ji still didn't know why the Jiangnan Rebellion started, but he didn't know whether Zhao Ji pretended not to know or really didn't know.

If Zhao Ji really doesn't know, then the Great Song Dynasty is really sad. If Zhao Ji pretended not to know, this Great Song Dynasty would be even more pathetic.

Zheng Zhi even made a statement in front of Zhao Ji in person, alluding to Zhu Mian and alluding to Hua Shigang. This Zhao Ji still blamed the reason for Fang La's rebellion on Manichaeism's demagoguery. If Manichaeism can really bewitch the entire Jiangnan and Zhejiang, then this army of Fang La must be like the assassins of that night, not afraid of death, how could the Great Song Dynasty still be able to quell the rebellion?

If you think about Fang La's leveling, Zhu Mian's Jiangnan Yingfeng Bureau will reopen. Zheng Zhi was even more angry.

In Zheng Zhi's heart, although he didn't have much awe for the Great Song Dynasty and the Zhao family, he couldn't talk about disgust. There is Tong Guan, there is a kind of teacher, there is Zhou Duwen, and in the future, Li Boji, Zheng Zhi is actually not disgusted with the Great Song Dynasty in his heart.

But at this time, Zheng Zhi already had a sense of disgust for Zhao Ji, and when he thought about the Great Song Dynasty, all he thought about was Wang Huang and Qin Hui.

Wu Yong heard Zheng Zhi's words, and bluntly said that the holy oracle was a bunch of nonsense, and he was shocked in his heart, and hurriedly said: "Be cautious, be cautious." ”

Zheng Zhi was angry, his steps hurried, and he replied: "Destroy Mani, Kai return to Minben, you look at Jiangning Mansion, which one is Mani?" The hearts of the people, which one has an evil spirit? ”

Wu Yong was suddenly taken aback by Zheng Zhiyi's question, and hurriedly caught up a few steps and said, "Xianggong, the assassin that day, could it be Mani?" ”

Zheng Zhi was reminded by Wu Yong's words, stopped, frowned, and said for a moment: "It seems that this Mani really wants to be suppressed." ”

Zheng Zhi's heart is already transparent, and the assassin's heart to die is vivid, and only sectarian brainwashing can explain it.

Wu Yong heard Zheng Zhi's words firmly, and his face was also gloomy, and he replied: "It seems that it is really Mani." ”

The two of them returned to the camp with an unhappy face, and Wang Hanzhi sent someone to send an invitation to invite Zheng Zhi to play in the evening painting boat on the table. Wang Hanzhi naturally wanted to thank Zheng Zhi, and he also wanted to entertain Zheng Zhi well, and the way of hospitality was nothing more than that.

Suzhou City is not far from Taihu Lake, Huashigang is also the earliest to rise here, around Taihu Lake there are Changzhou, Huzhou, Suzhou. Huzhou has fallen. Changzhou Suzhou was also the target of Fang Qifo's Northern Expedition, but now it has stopped in Jiangning.

Yang Keshi has been in Suzhou for half a month with seven or eight hundred personal soldiers, and the Suzhou Forbidden Army has also been fully integrated, with more than 1,000 people, but they are all practicing in the school field outside the city.

Yang Keshi naturally also brought the style of the Western Army, and trained the more than 1,000 Suzhou forbidden troops to be miserable, and the slackness of the people also beheaded seven or eight in a row, and even captured dozens of deserters to assassinate Cangzhou Prison City. In the past half a month, the Suzhou Forbidden Army has looked a little different.

Yan Qing came with the ship, disembarked in Fushan Town, opposite Tongzhou (Nantong), and went straight to Suzhou City. From Jiangning into the Yangtze River, when I arrived in Suzhou City, it was still three days later.

Yan Qing also inquired clearly, knowing that the person from Tokyo was in the military camp outside the city, so he went straight away, and he was still worried in his heart, not knowing if this person was Yang Keshi. When Yang Keshi entered Suzhou, he trained his soldiers in this military camp, and rarely went out, and most of the people in Suzhou didn't know what kind of general came.

It wasn't until Yan Qing took out his waist card and documents and entered the barracks to meet him that he knew that the person with a gloomy face in front of him was Yang Keshi, and hurriedly said: "The last general is the commander under the command of Zheng Xianggong, and he came to visit General Yang on the order of my family's minister. ”

In the past half a month, Yang Keshi has been anxious, although he has hundreds of soldiers in his hands, but in the face of Suzhou, which has only more than 1,000 people in this state capital, he doesn't know what to do, and he can't see a clue at all.

At this time, hearing Yan Qing report to his home, Yang Keshi smiled in a blink of an eye, and asked: "This Zheng Xianggong you are talking about is Weizhou Zheng Zhi Zheng Xianggong?" ”

"Exactly!" Yan Qing said again.

Yang Keshi was confirmed, stood up and asked, "Where is your father-in-law now?" ”

"My family is just in Jiangning, and he has just defeated Fang La's 20,000 troops and stabilized the situation in Jiangning. Yan Qing said.

Yang Keshi was overjoyed when he heard this, and said a few words: "Good, good, really good, with Zheng Xianggong presiding over the battle situation in Jiangnan, the big thing is decided." It's in vain that I have insomnia every day, if I had known that Zheng Xianggong had also gone south, why should I be so anxious. What did Zheng Xianggong command? ”

Yan Qing heard a few good words from Yang Keshi, and heard Yang Keshi's praise, and she was also extremely happy and honored in her heart. He replied: "What my family minister said is all in the letter, and I also ask General Yang to look at it." ”

While speaking, Yan Qing took out the letter in his arms and handed it over, Yang Keshi hurriedly unfolded the letter to read, read it for a while, and laughed: "When I was in the northwest, Tong Jingluo Yu Qin Feng sent troops to attack the party, and I was stationed in Xihe Lanhuang, until the war was settled, I sent troops to fight the Western Xia Zhuo Luo and Nan, Zheng Xianggong decided the first battle, and when I sent the army, the party members scattered as birds and beasts, although they even won several cities, they all relied on Zheng Xianggong's prestige. At that time, I regretted in my heart, it was a great regret in my life that I did not fight with Zheng Xianggong in this life. I didn't expect to get Jiangnan, and I could still kill the enemy with Zheng Xianggong, and I have no regrets in this life. ”

Yan Qing was even more dizzy when she heard it, and it was even more difficult to imagine how majestic the battle was back then. also said: "The last general was also born at the wrong time, and he did not hit the party with his father, and he regretted it for life!" ”

Yang Keshi was full of smiles, swept away the previous haze, just danced with his hands, waited for a while, and said: "The events of the year, let's talk about it after eating and drinking in the evening." Zheng Xianggong entrusted him, even if he died a hundred times, he didn't dare to slack off, but there were few soldiers in Suzhou, and together with the personal soldiers I brought, there were only 2,000 people. If you go south to attack Hangzhou, I am afraid that I will not be able to catch it, and this matter needs to be clarified. I wonder what the little general thinks? ”

Yang Keshi's admiration for Zheng Zhi can also be seen in his words. The battle of the Western Army was really hearty, and Zheng Zhiwei's name was naturally unmatched in the northwest. is even a commander under Zheng Zhi, Yang Keshi is also called a little general, and the respect in etiquette is self-evident.

Yan Qing also didn't expect Yang Keshi to ask him for advice, so he thought for a moment and replied: "When the last general was in Jiangning, he fought with the prime minister twice, and he knew a lot about the thief army. But they are all rabble, not to mention the military discipline, not to mention the armament. General Yang has a lot of elite soldiers under his command, and he can go south to fight a few battles first, capture some important cities, and even if he does not go deep alone, he can also drag down part of the main force of the thief army. When my father-in-law sends troops to Hangzhou, there will be less pressure. ”

Yang Keshi really didn't take these two thousand men and horses to fight before, and he also knew that the thief army was powerful, and two thousand was too little. At this time, when he heard Yan Qing's words, he was also arrogant, and said straightly: "Okay, according to the words of the little general, I will send troops to Huzhou tomorrow, and I will talk about it in the next few cities, so I can't lose face in front of Zheng Xianggong." ”
