XVII. Preliminary plan

He is not talking about the Battle of Changping, but about the Jin Tartars of this dynasty and the Guanwai Houjin!

Fang Yizhi's hand slowly put down, looking at Yu Guozhen's gaze, he was a little surprised, Yu Guozhen's words, almost half of the reason for the defeat of Zhao in the Battle of Changping was placed on King Zhao, if he was using the past to satirize the present, it would be too much to ignore the monarch's father.

But Fang Yizhi had no way to refute it, since the Dongyu uprising, the officials and troops have been defeated repeatedly, and the reason is just that the border officials and generals are incompetent!

This night, Fang Yizhi almost sleepless, he was deeply influenced by Donglin, "family affairs, national affairs, world affairs, everything cares" Donglin testament he kept in mind, he is also insightful, when interacting with friends, he talked about the current situation many times, thinking that when the Ming Dynasty reached the crisis of the wind, he saw that there was a big disaster, and he was also interested in helping the danger.

However, at this time, the thief Gao Yingxiang is not yet a problem, Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong are just ordinary bandit leaders, Hong Chengchou's defeat of Songshan and Sun Chuanting's defeat of Tongguan have not yet happened, otherwise, Fang Yizhi knows that Yu Guozhen's words refer to it even deeper.

The next morning, Fang Yizhi made up his mind to leave today, but before parting, he also wanted to hear Yu Guozhen's views on the current situation in Liaodong.

"Speaking of Guanwai, the younger brother heard a strange thing, in the summer outside the Guanwai, the daylight hours are longer than in our south, does the secret brother know the principle of this?"

Yu Guozhen is unwilling to say all his views on the current situation now, he understands the Confucian scholars of this era, and if he doesn't speculate, he may turn his face on the spot, and Fang Yizhi is the same.

"It's true, and I've heard about it." Since Yu Guozhen was reluctant to say, Fang Yizhi didn't ask.

The two talked about the polar day and the polar night from the phenomenon of long days in the north, and then talked about the Tropic of Cancer, followed by latitude and longitude. Originally, Fang Yizhi wanted to leave after a while in the morning, but he discussed geography, especially listening to Yu Guozhen talk about the history and philosophers of the Taixi Kingdoms, which made him fascinated, and unconsciously, he stayed here with Yu Guozhen for another whole day.

When night was about to fall, Fang Yizhi was shocked, and pointed at Yu Guozhen with a smile and said: "Brother Guozhen, you are so unkind!" ”

"What do you mean by that?" Yu Guozhen pretended to be stupid.

"If you want to keep me, you will say bluntly that every time you deliberately provoke my interest and make it difficult for me to make the trip...... I'd like to see what else you can get for me tomorrow!" ”

Yu Guozhen laughed out loud and saluted: "Brother Secret, don't blame, I am in the countryside, and it is rare to have friends with similar interests, so I keep a few more Brother Secrets, and I can't hide it from Brother Secret!" ”

Fang Yizhi smiled and said nothing, he thought that he could make the trip, but he stopped here for six days before and after Yu Guozhen, and then he really couldn't delay the trip anymore before leaving. At the time of parting, he bowed to Yu Guozhen at the bow of the boat: "Brother Guozhen, the foolish brother has been taught this time, if there is a chance, the foolish brother will definitely recommend the virtuous brother, so that the virtuous talent will not be left in the wild!" ”

For this sentence, Yu Guozhen thanked Bumin, in his eyes, this dynasty, from the emperor and the royal family, to the bureaucrats and gentry, the entire ruling class is already rotten, even if he has the advantage of a traverser, he cannot fundamentally save this dynasty.

If you want to save the country, you must start anew!

Fang Yizhi didn't take Yu Guozhen's resignation seriously, how can anyone in this world not want to be an official!

"Fifth young master, the second master and the fifth master invite you back to the town, and you have important matters to discuss."

The servant looked at Yu Guozhen respectfully, and didn't even dare to raise his eyes to look at him, this is inevitable, the heads of Li Jinbao and Xiao Shilang, who had been nitrated by lime, are still hanging at the gate of Wuwei County.

"Got it." Yu Guozhen said lightly, looking at the shadow of the big ship of Simingwa that had gradually faded away, and Fang Yizhi who was standing at the stern of the boat and waving to him, he sighed slightly.

Fang Yizhi is indeed one of the most outstanding Confucian scholars of this era, and in the past few days, the two have talked very speculatively in some aspects, but at the same time have had fierce disputes in other aspects.

For example, Fang Yizhi wants to reduce all the science of nature to the Book of Changes, which Yu Guozhen feels is a bit difficult.

In addition, in terms of their attitudes towards the Donglin Party and the Eunuch Party, the views of the two are also slightly different, but Yu Guozhen conceals his attitude well.

Although the eunuch party is not a good thing, is the Donglin party so noble? In other words, how smart can the current Donglin Party be compared to the Eunuch Party?

It has been a few years since Emperor Chongzhen ascended the throne and eliminated Wei Zhongxian and his accomplices, and there are not many people in Donglin who have been reused, but how much has their actions helped the Ming Dynasty?

The party is the same as the other, extremely active, fighting for power and profit, and actively participating, but if they are asked to take out even a copper for the treasury, they will cry and shout for their father and mother to seize profits from the people.

Even Fang Yizhi is the same on this issue.

"Fang Yizhi is relatively enlightened in Donglin, and he is like this...... It seems that Donglin can't be counted on. Yu Guozhen thought to himself.

In his original plan, he originally had the idea of using Fang Yizhi to take Donglin for his own use, but now, this idea has changed.

"I don't know what the second uncle and fifth uncle summoned me to order." Back in Xiang'an Town, Yu Guozhen asked.

Yu Yiqin smiled and beckoned him to sit down, but Yu Guozhen remained respectful and did not sit down immediately. His appearance made Yu Yixuan very satisfied, and he couldn't help but nod appreciatively.

"We discussed it, Guozhen, you are still young now, and you are not suitable for the position of the patriarch of the Yu family, but externally I am still the patriarch of the Yu family, and internally, the people, wealth, and things of the Yu family are all at your disposal." Yu Yiqin saw that he never sat down, so he could only open his mouth and go straight to the point.

Although he was mentally prepared, when he heard this sentence, Yu Guozhen still showed surprise.

He originally thought that his uncle and uncle agreed to cooperate with him in the practice of the family, and then give him financial support, this is the biggest gain, but what he didn't expect was that Yu Yiqin and Yu Yixuan made such a decision!

It's just Yu Yiqin alone, of course, he can't make such a decision, it should be Yu Yixuan's suggestion. So in the past few days, entertaining Fang Yizhi and inviting Yu Yixuan to accompany him every day has worked.

"Guozhen, in the past few days, you have discussed the current situation with Fang Mizhi, and I have also listened to it in my heart, although I don't know where you got such insight from, but it is generally always good, the world will be chaotic." Seeing Yu Guozhen looking at himself, Yu Yixuan coughed lightly: "Our Yu family and your generation, only you have a chance, you just let it go!" ”

Yu Guozhen nodded slowly, since this is the case, he will not delay.

"Second uncle, fifth uncle, what do you mean is that the people, wealth, and things of the Yu family are at my disposal, even the two of you are no exception?"

"Yes, neither of us is an exception."

"What about Uncle?"

Although the eldest uncle Yu Yijian is only a concubine, he has always been a shut-up gourd, and rarely expresses his opinions on major matters, but this time it is really a big matter, and Yu Guozhen must be confirmed in person.

"Your uncle, we will persuade him, if he is not happy, we will split up." Yu Yixuan understated the authenticity.

"That being the case, what am I going to do next...... The second uncle and the fifth uncle also support? ”

"Except for the things that cause the extermination of the race, we support everything!"

Yu Yiqin and Yu Yixuan were both convinced by the endless methods of their nephew, the total destruction of the four rooms, the fall of the water thieves, and the famous Fang Yizhi regarded him as a mentor and friend, these three things added up to make them realize that standing on the opposite side of Yu Guozhen would definitely not do any good.

In this case, if you can't write two Yu characters in one stroke, it is better to fully support Yu Guozhen.

"I'm going to go to Chaohu Lake to fight the water thieves next." Yu Guozhen said slowly: "Last time, that Xiao Shilang also had an elder brother Xiao Shilang, this person is a scourge, if you don't get rid of it, sooner or later you will kill to take revenge!" ”

As soon as Yu Guozhen's words came out, Yu Yiqin and Yu Yixuan both had a word in their hearts: "Cut the grass and eradicate the roots!" ”

Where is it because Xiao Shilang will come to take revenge, and he basically wants to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, this nephew's heart is really like iron and stone!

"It's just that the thief is in Chaohu, how can you find him?"

"I interrogated the location of the three nests they used to use last time, and threatened that the water thieves were all killed on the spot, so Xiao Shilang will not be suspicious, even if he has any suspicions, if there is no official government to check these days, he will also slack off."

Yu Guozhen's words made Yu Yixuan's eyes widen, he learned what happened at that time from the mouth of his second brother, he originally thought that killing all the water thieves was just to save some trouble, but now he knows that Yu Guozhen made up his mind at that time to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, and even did it first!

"On the side of the government, I asked the fifth uncle to take care of it afterwards, but I just said that it was to avenge the fourth room, and then stuff some silver, and share the credit with them, I don't think there will be any problem." Yu Guozhen said again: "This matter, the second uncle and the fifth uncle, do you think it should be done?" ”

"Yes, we said it, fully support you." The Yu brothers glanced at each other and said in a deep voice.

"This matter is settled, we have our own fishing boats, and when the time comes, we will hire a few more boatmen. There is another thing, the equipment used by our family is not as good as that of water thieves, and the second uncle came forward to ask the blacksmith in the town to make some swords. ”

Yu Yiqin responded, this matter is not difficult, although the imperial court prohibits the people from owning firearms, but the ordinary sword court still turns a blind eye.

"The third thing is that the number of family members is insufficient, the fifth uncle has read Qi Shaobao's military book, he is very particular about the selection of soldiers, the servants in our family are used to being servants but are not suitable for soldiers, so I intend to recruit some more teenagers. Hearing that Shandong Denglai Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming rebelled, and the displaced people in Jiaodong fled, the fifth uncle came forward to recruit a group of Jiaodong homeless teenagers, aged 14 to 16 years old, and the number was ...... Within a hundred people, it doesn't hurt to bring all of them. ”

"Ah...... That's a hundred...... I'm afraid this won't work, first, a hundred displaced families moved into Xiang'an, the movement is too big, and it is difficult for the government to hide it, and second, although we have some money and food in our family, it is still far from enough to support 100 households for food, clothing and chewing. ”

Yu Guozhen laughed, he stretched out a finger: "These two are actually a problem, lack of silver, if there is silver to deal with, the government will not be deeply involved in this matter, maybe give us a table, after all, the displaced people are easy to cause civil unrest, and we actually solve a big trouble for them when we contain them." The matter of silver, the fifth uncle does not have to worry, the fifth uncle, please take a look. ”

As he spoke, he took out another cloth bag from his arms, as soon as this cloth bag came out, Yu Yiqin and Yu Yixuan were stunned, and when Yu Guozhen opened it, it was really like the last time, the bag was full of round pearls!

"Second uncle and fifth uncle think that the pearl last time was really left by my father, but in fact, this pearl was raised by myself, with this skill, do we still need to worry about not having silver?"
