"Zhou De has declined, Jiuding is shaken, the world is divided into dozens of princes and doctors are in turmoil, until King Xuan revives and replaces the Zhou Dynasty, the world will be restored to one, and the people's lives can be restored to stability!"
When he heard this sentence for the first time on Shangqiu Street, Confucius's heart shook and he couldn't help but take a step back.
He knew that the "Shang Song. There is a saying in "Long Hair": "Xuan Wang Huan dials, and the small country is reached!" "The so-called King Xuan is the ancestor of Yin Shang! He was born from the Xuanniao, so later generations called him the Xuanwang......
After being surprised, Confucius also said in his heart: "King Xuan's revival? This is openly advocating the death of the Zhou family and the revival of Yin Shang, after Song Xianggong, does anyone in the Song Kingdom want to win the throne? ”
In the eyes of ordinary people, including Confucius, this so-called King Xuan is naturally Song Gong himself, but Song Gong is young, and the object of suspicion is placed on the great Wu Nanzi, who can guide public opinion......
"The Pastoral Oath" has a saying: The chicken has no morning to see, and the morning of the chicken is the only way to ask for the family. Unexpectedly, Song Guo was also the same as the king of the year, and became a woman's words! ”
Although dissatisfied, Kong Qiu had to admit that the first half of this passage was very much in line with the current world and the psychology of the Song people. The people of the Song Dynasty never forgot that Yin Shang died in the Zhou family, and after the king of Zhou Ping moved east and the royal family declined, he often disobeyed the king's orders and did not obey the king's affairs. Under this mentality, they described this legend as the first Tao, and many Heavenly Dao believers of the Song people already believed that as long as there was another "Xuan King" born to lead the Song Kingdom to revive Dayi Shang. The hard days of their patience will come to an end! The cohesion of the Song people has indeed strengthened a little bit because of this prophecy to a certain extent.
However, although Kong Qiu is also the queen of Yin. But having converted to Zhou's culture and etiquette, he looked at the white witch robe. Wu Zhu, who preached this prophecy, shook his head and left, and then said to the disciples next to him, Yan Hui, Zilu, etc.: "When Song Xianggong wanted to dominate, his brother Sima Ziyu once said that God has abandoned our descendants of the Shang Dynasty for a long time, and if you want to revive it, this is something that goes against the mandate of heaven, and it will never be realized......
Those things before, Confucius smiled and passed. But after hearing this, he tossed and turned and couldn't sleep.
"Small countries are vying to preside over the alliance, this is already a disaster, not to mention the current situation of the Song State, even the Zheng people who invaded the border towns cannot be expelled, and even the Xiang clan who have seized the east cannot be subdued, how can they be so ambitious and think about subverting the order of Chengzhou?"
He has also been in the Song Kingdom for some days, and he also likes the simplicity and stubbornness of the Song people. In addition to Lu Wai, this is his ancestral homeland, the second mother state, so Kong Qiu decided to go it alone. Do something.
On the second day, as if he had set up an altar in Qufu to give a public lecture, Confucius took his disciples with him. They gathered under a tall canopy of mulberry trees in the outer Guo district of Shangqiu, where they had been practicing ritual music for the past few months. There are often onlookers. In the face of learned people, the people of the Song Kingdom were more deferential and respectful than the people of the Lu Kingdom.
But today. After Confucius and his disciples finished practicing the ritual as usual, they did not say "benevolence" as before, but began to talk about "the way of heaven"!
The onlookers were a little surprised at first, even the famous Kong Zhongni began to convert to Taoism? But if you listen carefully, many of the things he said are diametrically opposed to the "supreme way of heaven" advocated by Dawu Nanzi.
"Heaven is far away, humanity is humane, and it is beyond reach!" Kong Qiu made a loud voice, starting with Zheng Zichan's famous remarks back then, which caused the Song people to be stunned.
When Confucius was in the Lu Kingdom, he fought against the etiquette and happiness, and when he left the Lu land, he also had to fight endlessly, and he wanted to set off the clarion call to refute the heavenly way and witches with personnel here!
……
Zhao Wuxian did not know that Confucius had become an anti-feudal and superstitious fighter in the Song Kingdom. At the beginning of September, after leaving a few soldiers and reliable retainers in Zhongmu and other places, he took 3,000 Zhongmu soldiers from the Buddha, a total of 20,000 people, across the Huanshui River to the north, and marched towards Handan and Hanshi.
After walking for another day, a wide river appeared in front of him again, and the horizon was full of turbid water for a while. ”
As a person who is more familiar with this area, the Buddha waits beside Zhao Wuxian to point out the roads and mountains, and he responds: "It is Zhangshui, which is divided into two turbid waters in the upper reaches, and the abundant water period in summer and autumn after the confluence is indeed very large, and it is the largest water in Jizhou in addition to the big river!" ”
The middle and lower reaches of the Zhanghe River are wide and slow, with meandering loops and twists, dotted with wooded islets and sandbars blocking the waterway, and punctuated by reefs below the surface. But it was nothing compared to the large river that was several miles wide, not to mention that it was late autumn now, and the width and depth of the water had been reduced, but it still took Zhao Jun a whole day to build a boat on the river to cross the river.
At this point, they officially entered the center of the Jizhou domain, that is, Hebei in later generations.
The degree of development of Hebei in the Spring and Autumn Period is very low, from ancient times to the present, only a few towns have been established, in the Xia Dynasty, here is the territory of the Yin merchants who moved south, and the Shangjia micro residence. In the Spring and Autumn Period of the Western Zhou Dynasty, it was the junction of Xing and Wei, and later Xing Wei broke the country and was occupied by Rong Di, and it was returned to the Jin State a hundred years ago and distributed to the Handan clan.
The Handan clan did not pay attention to this place, and only established a thousand-room small town called "Ye" to manage more than 100 miles of land nearby.
At the edge of Zhangshui, a few fishermen were fishing in the river, and a group of young girls playing by the river caught a glimpse of the heavily armed army arriving and fleeing at full speed.
The land on the banks of the river is low-lying and wet, with barren dunes and swamps under a blue-grey sky, and roads disappearing into weeds and tide puddles.
They passed through the villages along the way, only to see a dozen or so peasants digging in the barren fields, looking for plant roots, they looked at the Zhao army with godless eyes, and after making sure that the comer was not a threat, they returned to work.
When he arrived in Yeyi, Zhao Wuxian looked away, but was a little disappointed.
The Zhanghe River provides convenience for people and goods to pass through, and also makes Ye an important trading station, and in recent years, the population of Ye has increased to as many as 2,000 households. But compared to Chaoge and Zhongmu, it was far worse, there was not even a decent city wall, and a few days before the arrival of Zhao Wuxian's army, he was persuaded to surrender by Zhongmu's lobbyists, and was occupied by the forward, which came easily, but there was no oil and water.
"This land is really barren, in stark contrast to the wealth of Zhongmu...... a retainer sighed, in the concept of people at that time, the further north the more desolate, except for the clan centers of Handan and Bairen, there are few rich cities. As for the Yan Kingdom, it is simply the place where the birds and beasts that don't live in Rongdi......
Is it desolate? Chicken ribs? Zhao Wuxian observed the land, but he didn't think so.
Because only he knows that this place has great potential!
The location of Yecheng, the mountains and rivers are dangerous, the original Xi is flat, according to the throat of Hebei, it is not an exaggeration to call it the waist of Jizhou! Although it looks very barren and desolate now, a hundred years later, under the governance of Ximen Leopard, it will be reborn and become a big granary in Hebei.
Wei Ju's future son, the Marquis of Wei Wenhou of the Warring States Period, will be able to dominate the Three Jins!
Since the Qin and Han dynasties, Wei County has also been a strong county in Hebei. It was the land of Longxing in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and Yuan Shao in the late Han Dynasty took this as the foundation and once dominated the north. When Cao Wei controlled this place, he moved the administrative and economic center here, trained the soldiers and accumulated millet, and grew up in the Central Plains. Zuo Si "Wei Du Fu": "Erqi's territory, then the side of Qi, Qin, and the way of the Ji; open-minded Yin and Wei, straddle Yan and Zhao; The mountains and forests are secluded, and the rivers and rivers are reverberating". These flowery rhetoric is talking about Yecheng.
The glory of Yecheng lasted throughout the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, because the plains are thousands of miles, the Zhanghe River is transported in all directions, and it is extremely rich, and it has been designated as the capital by various secession regimes many times. Even in the Tang Dynasty, the Wei Bo and Tianxiong Festival envoys based on this Ye land are also strong vassals who can wrestle with the central government!
So standing in Yedi on the north bank of the Zhanghe River, Zhao Wuxian couldn't help but be fascinated, and thought to himself: "I can appoint a capable official here to be the slaughter, develop it well after the war, and govern Yedi a hundred years in advance, maybe in my lifetime, I can also build a Tongque Terrace here!" ”
As for which beauties are locked in the depths of this Bronze Bird Palace, only Zhao Wuxian knows in his heart......
Yecheng is only seventy or eighty miles away from Handan, and it will arrive in two days, and Zhao Wuxian decided to use this place as a base for attacking Handan in the north, so that the army can rest and rectify here. Yu Xi led a light horse to send Buddha to contact the surrenderers of Hanshi County and plan the next move. After all, his 20,000 people marched north with great momentum, and the guards of Handan and the Bank of China had already learned the news, and they did not dare not come when they retreated into the city, and they could not get any bargain in the rush to march in the past.
With a long-term plan to develop Yecheng, Zhao Wuxian is still very interested in Yecheng, after he met the local ministers and bureaucrats, he first feasted them with great fanfare, but then asked people to secretly pay private interviews, ask the elderly, and observe the people's livelihood and suffering.
That night, the cronies returned one after another and brought together the information about Yecheng that they had discovered.
Among them, the assistant official Cheng Jian even inquired about the key news: "General, the saddest thing for the people of Yecheng is that they have to marry Hebo every September, because of this, the local people are poor and can't make a living!" (To be continued.) )
