Putting down the burden and riding on the donkey, Sun Yu, who seemed to be a little more relaxed, rushed to the duty.

It was only about half an hour later, and Chen Wen's plan to make up for sleep was completely interrupted by Hu Er, who suddenly visited.

"Mr. Chen, Wang Jing is slightly invited."

Looking at Hu Er's smiling face, Chen Wen's anger suddenly ran out of channels for release. informed Sun Ming that if Wu Dengke came to listen to "Zuo Chuan" in the morning, he would be asked to bring those township parties to find Chen Wen in the afternoon. After that, Chen Wen and Hu Er went to the old camp of Dalanshan together.

Entering the hall of the Chinese army, Chen Wen was as polite as a courtesy. Then Wang Yi waved away the idle people and others, leaving only him and Wang Jiang, and said, "Furen is doing these days? ”

Chen Wen bowed. "Thank you for your concern, it is very good for Treasurer Sun's family to stay here."

"Treasurer Sun has always been cautious in his words and deeds, but he is highly respectful of Furen."

Chen Wen knew that what Wang Yi was talking about was his past recommended by Sun Yu. "Treasurer Sun praised it falsely, and he didn't dare to be it."

Looking at Chen Wen's expression, Wang Yi knew very well that this was obviously just Chen Wen's humble words, and then he said: "This official and Wang Vice Xian have discussed for a long time, and now there is an important matter ready to be entrusted to Furen, I wonder if Furen can share the worries of the two of us?" ”

"Wang Jingluo said that it doesn't matter, and he should do his best."

Wang Yi paused and said, "His Royal Highness is ready to send Feng Shilang as an envoy again to Japan to borrow troops to help in the war. Furen is well-read and knowledgeable, and his eloquence is even more remarkable, and this official intends to recommend Furen to His Royal Highness as the temple master of Honglu Temple, serving as a deputy envoy, and walking with Feng Shilang. ”

Beggar in Japan?

This history is very clear. From the first year of Hongguang in 1645 to the thirteenth year of Yongli in 1659, the Zhejiang Anti-Qing Group went to Japan eight times to beg for teachers in the name of the Lu Jianguo court, of which the first four were led by Zhou Hezhi, because he had an old relationship with the Japanese Satsuma feudal lord; The last time was Zhu Zhiyu's personal behavior.

The remaining three times are the fifth time Feng Jingdi "cried Qin Ting" in Nagasaki, the sixth time Feng Jingdi and Huang Zongxi went to Nagasaki again, and the seventh time Lu Jianguo was defrauded by Japanese monks.

Chen Wen thought about it, according to the records of the historical books, now until the outbreak of the Battle of Zhoushan, it seems that the Lu Jian State and the Xing Dynasty have never gone to Japan to beg for teachers again!

Did Huang Zongxi write it out?

Or is my little butterfly wings a little too hard?

None of that matters, though.

Chen Wen remembered that regarding the begging for soldiers in Japan, in fact, the anti-Qing people in Zhejiang at that time were not monolithic, and even Yu Huang, the secretary of the military department, and Huang Binqing, the secretary of the military department, all expressed opposition to this. Among them, Huang Binqing was afraid that Zhou Hezhi, who supported this proposal, would use the power of the Japanese Satsuma Domain to disadvantage him, and after Zhou Hezhi was no longer dominant, he sent his younger brother to follow Feng Jingdi to Japan; And Yu Huang thinks that this move is to lure the wolf into the house.

On the other hand, the party that agreed included Zhang Kentang, the first assistant, Feng Jingdi, Huang Zongxi, the imperial historian, and Zhou Hezhi, the marquis of Pingyi.

Among them, Feng Jingdi, in order to refute Yu Huang, put forward the strange argument that Wu Sangui borrowed Qing troops to lead to the current situation in which the Manchu Qing Dynasty occupied eight or nine out of ten of China, and at this moment borrowed troops from Japan because there was no land to lose, and it was a strange argument that defeating the Qing army was earned. In addition, on the issue of military discipline of the Japanese army, Feng Jingdi said that the Japanese pirates who rebelled in the Jiajing Dynasty were all pirates and ronins, and the ones he wanted to borrow were all Japanese regular troops, so they could not be said in the same day.

After reading this history in the book, Chen Wen did not hesitate to include Feng Jingdi in the collection of Donglin party sticks. Therefore, when Wang Sheng asked Chen Wen to meet Feng Jingdi with him, his first reaction was to find an opportunity to escape, because he was really not interested in reasoning with this kind of person, even if he was the kind of loyal minister who could repay the king with death.

And as a modern person, Chen Wen is an absolute supporter of Yu Huang on this issue.

At this time, the remnants were in danger, and Chen Wen could understand their mentality of eagerly grasping the life-saving straw. But as a Chinese from the 21st century, he knows very well who the country that has hurt the Chinese people the most in modern times. Even if it didn't matter to him today, he would never be able to agree with such an approach.

Because it's a matter of principle!

Although he didn't know Wang Yi's opinion on this matter, Chen Wen knew that Wang Yi had a great relationship with Feng Jingdi and Huang Zongxi, and even had a close relationship with Huang Zongxi, so he had to pay attention to the wording.

"When I was a child, I saw such a thing."

"In the second year of Xiangxing, the Battle of Yashan, the Song army was defeated, and Lu Xiufu, the prime minister of Zuo, threw the Son of Heaven into the sea, and more than 100,000 soldiers and civilians who accompanied him also jumped into the sea and died one after another! The news reached Japan, and the whole country of Japan was vegetarian for three days to mourn the demise of the Great Song Dynasty. ”

This story is not a history of self-confidence, and there is no relevant record on the Japanese side, but Chen Wen saw it on the forum.

Hearing this, Wang Yi and Wang Jiang agreed that Chen Wen agreed with the national policy of going to Japan to beg for teachers. But at this moment, I saw Chen Wen's words turn around.

"After this incident, while Japan and Korea, which was still called Goryeo at the time, mourned the death of Huaxia at the Tatar captives, another trend of thought emerged, which they called Huayi perversion."

"The so-called Huayi metamorphosis means that when Huaxia died in the Tatars, the barbarian king Yijun entered the Central Plains, and the Han people, the creators of Chinese civilization, were reduced to an inferior nation. Then, the former China has become barbarians, and the barbarians who have accepted the Chinese cultural ideas have correspondingly become the new China. ”

The so-called Huayi metamorphosis actually comes from the report on the situation in China reported by the Nagasaki Domain to the Tokugawa shogunate in the early Edo period of Japan, also known as the Tang Chuanfeng storytelling. The book covers the period of the Manchu Dynasty's accession to China, which is considered by Japan to be the process of China's transformation into Yidi. Therefore, Japan called the events and periods recorded in the book the Huayi metamorphosis, and this kind of thinking actually had a profound impact on the attitude of later generations of Japan towards China.

In the eyes of the Japanese and Koreans at that time and later generations, during this period, China gradually became a barbarian colony, the Han family was strangled by the harsh punishment of shaving their hair and easy to wear, and the Taoism of Chinese civilization was cut off by the Manchu Qing Dynasty's frenzied killing. Then, when the former China gradually evolved into barbarians, the barbarian country that they survived and left behind the Han family became Huaxia.

And this is the source of the famous "there is no China after Yashan, and there is no China after the death of the Ming Dynasty" on the Internet in later generations.

Chen Wen knows very well that in the story he fabricated, the idea of "Huayi perversion" has a serious time and space travel. However, in his opinion, the official exchanges between the Ming Dynasty and Japan were far less frequent than in the Tang and Song dynasties, and the non-governmental trade was more of a smuggling situation.

Sure enough, after hearing these words, Wang Yi and Wang Jiang were stunned, they never imagined that there would be such a thing anyway.

Seeing this, Chen Wen knew that he had succeeded, and then said: "As far as I know, there are many princes in Japan now, and they have always been captive and evil when they fight on their own land, let alone in other countries. At that time, if Japan really sends troops to come, it will inevitably be mixed with the Japanese and the Tartars. ”

"Besides, I don't believe that Japan will send troops at all." Speaking of which, Chen Wen once again came up with a housekeeping method of reasoning with facts.

"During the reign of Emperor Xian, hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers from Japan invaded Korea, and were hung up and beaten by the royal division with a cap of no more than 50,000. Now that the king is still invincible, what virtue does the Japanese ruler have, how can he dare to risk the country's turmoil and the destruction of his family to send troops to his death? ”

Chen Wen knew that in history, Japan's begging for help from the Southern Ming Dynasty was actually not monolithic. The Satsuma and Nagasaki feudal clans were inclined to agree to this, because it would give them the opportunity to increase their strength; The Tokugawa shogunate obviously saw this, so they had a negative attitude towards this matter, but they were afraid that Nanming would really be able to turn the tables and trouble them at that time, so they gave more materials as aid.

Whether emotionally or rationally, Chen Wen didn't want to go to Japan to beg for a teacher again, so from the beginning, every word he said was to let Wang Yi and others understand that the life-saving straw they were trying to grasp was actually just humiliating themselves.

"I only know that this anointed land of Kyushu is obtained by the ancestors of my Han family through hardships, whether it is Beiyu, Nanban, Dongyi, Xirong, as long as you dare to offend my Huaxia, you should fight to the end. Even if I can't be defeated, as long as my Han family's sons and daughters are not killed, sooner or later there will be descendants who will avenge our shame, and it will not be the turn of those barbarians to mix! ”

Chen Wen's exuberant tirade made the Chinese military hall cold for a long time, and then Wang Jiang played a round, saying that they would consider Chen Wen's suggestion, and then personally sent him out.

When Wang Jiang returned to the hall of the Chinese army, Wang Yi seemed to be still thinking about something. Seeing this, Wang Jiang burst out laughing.

"Wanxun, Wanxun, you and I plan to use this incident to suppress his temper, but I didn't expect to be educated by him, this guy is really a character who can't be provoked."

At this time, Wang Yi sighed and said: "Uncle, it seems that we are really wrong, this matter must be reported to His Royal Highness the Prison State, and it must also be said that with Feng Jizhong and Huang Taichong, as for this matter of going to Japan to beg for teachers, we must not do it again." ”

………………

When Chen Wen returned to Sun's house, it was not yet lunchtime, but Wu Dengke and his fellow villagers had already arrived, crowding the small courtyard of Sun's house.

Chen Wen, who felt that he had just dialed Wang Yi's kindness for the second time, did not hesitate to tell everyone what had just happened.

Hearing the news that the imperial court was preparing to go to Japan again to beg, Wu Dengke and others were furious. In the eyes of these Zhejiang men, there is no difference between the Japanese and the Manchus, they are all barbarians, once they arrive in China, they will definitely burn, kill, loot, and plunder, just like their ancestors decades ago. Wouldn't the imperial court lead the wolf into the house by doing this?

And after hearing Chen Wenyi's refuting of this point of view, everyone seemed to be angry, especially when they thought that Chen Wen gave up the noble official position from the sixth grade, and even more admired him.

A person from Beizhili, in order to protect the people of Zhejiang from the Japanese invaders, did not hesitate to refute Shangguan's rude request, and even resolutely rejected the kindness of adding officials to the knighthood, what kind of spirit is this? This is a distinct nationalist spirit!

Let's ask, if you are not a hero, how can you make such a decision?

Receiving everyone's compliments, Chen Wen smiled secretly in his heart, all this was expected by him. In modern times, the Zhejiang people he knew generally did not like Japan, and when he talked about Qi Jiguang yesterday, he completely refreshed the upper limit of his understanding of the Zhejiang people's hatred of the Japanese in this era.

At this time, he must still add fuel and vinegar to this matter, just to prepare for the next sentence.

"You don't have to compliment you anymore, these are all things that should be done, in fact, I can also be regarded as a native of Zhejiang, so naturally I can't allow the Japanese to plague the people of Zhejiang again."

"Huh?" As soon as this remark came out, everyone was surprised, because Chen Wen has always claimed to be a person from Beizhili, what happened today?

Seeing that everyone really showed incredible expressions, the shameless traverser once again extended his black hand to an ancestor who was far from being born at this time, after fabricating his origin, family, uncle, and wife.

"As everyone knows, my family is from a hundred hereditary households of Tianjin Right Guard, and this hereditary position was obtained by my ancestor during the Hongwu period."

Then, Chen Wen fabricated a story about a person from Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, who joined the army of the Ming Dynasty during the Yuan Dynasty and became the personal soldier of Li Wenzhong, the king of Qiyang.

"The ancestors must be the first to climb the battle, and after retreating to the palace, they have been in the army for more than ten years and have accumulated merit and been promoted to the commander of the guard, and even the king of Qiyang is full of praise for the ancestors, and he has personally taught the ancestors some of the tricks of military training. In the fifth year of Hongwu, the ancestor of the family followed the northern expedition of the king of Qiyang, and the battle of the Aluhun River, and the ancestor died bravely. Emperor Gao took the eldest son of his ancestor as the left guard of Qingzhou and was hereditary. ”

This story is made up from beginning to end, just like Qi Jiguang's ancestors.

"When Emperor Chengzu, the Qingzhou Left Guard was changed to the Tianjin Right Guard, and my family settled in the Tianjin Acropolis. Therefore, although the family has left Zhejiang for more than 200 years, it should still be regarded as a person from Zhejiang, right? ”

After getting this answer, everyone immediately stopped doubting because of the long-term brainwashing of Chen Wen's ancient teachings, and then became even more excited.

The man, who had always been called Yin Ergou by Wu Dengke, gave a thumbs up and said loudly: "Brother Chen's ancestor is our hero from Zhejiang, how can Brother Chen not be from Zhejiang, at least his ancestral home is Zhejiang." ”

In the eyes of modern people, even if a person's ancestors are from Zhejiang, but his family has moved to another place for more than 200 years, how to say that he should be regarded as a person who moved to the place, not according to his ancestral hometown. But in the Ming Dynasty, as long as the genealogy can be followed, even if the family has been away from this place for a thousand years, his ancestral home should be here.

With the conclusion of the coffin closure of Chen Wen's ancestral case, the relationship between this group of Jinhua people and Chen Wen has become more intimate.

Seeing this, Chen Wen felt that it was time to see the dagger.

"In my opinion, only the Qi family army can sweep away the Japanese Tartars. So, I plan to rebuild the Qi family's army! Then, Chen Wen stood up and stretched out his hand to everyone. Although I can't do it, I'm willing to give it a go. I wonder if any of you are willing to fight with me to drive out the Tartars and recover the lost land of the Han family? ”

Chen Wen was quite surprised to not get the expected enthusiastic response, and seeing this group of people panting and looking at him directly, Chen Wen felt a little goosebumps jumping out.

At this time, Wu Dengke got up and said loudly: "Brother Chen's words really entered our brothers' hearts, I won't tell you, I didn't sleep all night after listening to Qi Shaobao from Brother Chen yesterday." I got up early this morning and asked the brothers out to discuss this matter with Brother Chen, in order to hope that you could stay, and I didn't expect you to think the same way, which is really good. ”

"Oh?" This time, it was Chen Wen's turn to be surprised.

This time, it was that Yin Ergou glanced at Wu Dengke with disdain, and said loudly like a victorious rooster: "We have discussed a few of us from Dongyang County, and my brothers are willing to serve Brother Chen as the commander, and when the time comes, Brother Chen will lead the troops, Sun Juren will preside over government affairs, and everyone will return to Jinhua's hometown in a group, erect a flag to recruit troops, rebuild the Qi family's army, and sweep the world." ”

As he spoke, Yin Ergou actually laughed, as if the wish to sweep the world would be realized immediately.

Seeing that he was robbed by Yin Ergou, Wu Dengke said in a louder voice: "I think the same way, Brother Chen is erudite and talented, even Sun Juren is full of praise for you, and the interpretation of the art of war and the battle situation when you talk about ancient times on weekdays is also in place, as long as you have been in battle twice, you will definitely become a good general." Our brothers are willing to serve Brother Chen as the main and rebuild the Qi family's army! As he spoke, Wu Dengke knelt on the ground and kowtowed respectfully.

Seeing Wu Dengke like this, everyone also said that they thought the same way, as if they had caught up with a once-in-a-lifetime decision, and fell to their knees one by one.

"I'm the boss?" Although this was what Chen Wen had hoped for, he didn't even open his mouth before he could open his mouth, but hesitated.

"Of course." Saying that, Yin Ergou stood up and said in a natural tone: "Brother Chen, don't be modest, you are from Jiangmen, and you are a southerner born in the Northland, which is not much different from Qi Shaobao's background, this must be God's intention to be so coincidental." Besides, you went all the way from the north to the south, and you went on the road alone, so you were naturally determined. There is a saying that the disaster of the three armies starts from the fox, and the commander naturally wants you to be the army in order to win the battle. ”

What the?

"The plague of the three armies originated from the fox?" Wu Dengke obviously had reservations about this sentence, but he didn't know what was wrong.

"Naturally, it's a fox." Yin Ergou said firmly in an unquestionable tone: "What is the most suspicious thing in the forest, of course it is a fox." Brother Wu, I still need to read more. Then, this Yin Ergou naturally showed a look of pity.

Although he was ridiculed by Yin Ergou in the end, Wu Dengke also seemed to feel that what he said made some sense, so he didn't say anything more.

Chen Wen knew that this Yin Ergou was one of the few people in this group of Jinhua people who could know some words, but the level was probably similar to that of Xiaoyanzi and Lord Wei.

Next, everyone in the small courtyard expressed to Chen Wen in groups that they were also supporters of this decision, and promised to obey Chen Wen's orders. And this also made Chen Wen completely see the geographical composition of this group of Jinhua people, but all the counties that can be called Jinhua Mansion have been gathered.

The largest number of people is Wu Dengke's group from Yiwu County, with more than a dozen people; Then there is Yin Ergou's group of Dongyang County people, and there are less than ten people; The least is Lanxi County, where there is only one person; Among them, Jinhua Fuzhi and Yongkang County can be counted as a team, which probably has something to do with Sun Yu.

"There is no party in the country, imperial thought; There are no factions in the party, and there are all kinds of strange things. ”

That's true.

There were less than fifty people in total, and they could be divided into so many small groups, which reminded him of the group of classmates who were always in groups of three or five when he was in school.

At this moment, Chen Wen thought viciously that it was probably because this group of people couldn't come up with a compromise plan with each other, and then they were instigated by Wu Dengke's prestige among this group of people and Yin Ergou's feudal superstitious thoughts. As a result, there was a system in which he led the troops and Sun Yu handled government affairs.

Chen Wen remembered that Sun Yu and Wu Dengke's group of people seemed to have come out of Yin Can's subordinate Zhou Qingui. In his memory, the anti-Qing forces led by Zhou Qingui seem to have persisted in the rebellion of the three feudatories during the Kangxi period before they were suppressed. Since this group of people belong to different places, why did they leave there together and come to Dalan Mountain, where they are unfamiliar?

Putting aside these irrelevant matters for the time being, Chen Wen raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and then said: "The gentlemen have recommended me for trusting me, and I will not live up to everyone's kindness." However, I hope that everyone can understand that it is not so simple to rebuild the Qi family's army, and we need to pay a lot for it, and even sacrifice some personal interests. ”

Seeing everyone's thoughtful looks, Chen Wen continued: "Since everyone has elected me as the coach, I will naturally not let everyone suffer. The sacrifices are only temporary, and they will be repaid in other forms in the future, and they will be much more than what we have paid. ”

Chen Wen knows very well that as a leader, if he can't even guarantee the interests of his team members, then the team can't achieve anything.

"Maybe everyone will wonder why I am so confident, the reason is very simple, I not only have confidence in myself, I also have confidence in the righteous men of the Han family in front of me, and I have more confidence in King Qiyang and Qi Shaobao. I believe that from today onwards, we will go to victory after victory until the day when Kyushu is recovered! ”

After hearing this, everyone cheered, as if the day when the ancestors would be glorified and the day when they would return to their hometown was approaching.

And outside the gate behind this group of excited people, a guy with a completely different painting style suddenly appeared in Chen Wen's sight.
