Su Songxia's family, the Hou family and the Gu family are in-laws, and they often meet at the Hou family's mansion in Jiading.

Needless to say, Xia Yunyi is a leader-level figure of the Fushe, Gu Xianzheng has been the official of Yan'an Mansion, the Hou family is a wealthy gentry in Jiading, Gu Xianzheng's son Gu Tiankui is Hou Qizeng's son-in-law, and Hou Qizeng's nephew Hou Xuanyu is Xia Yunyi's son-in-law. The three families share weal and woe, stand together through thick and thin, and often gather in Hou Xuanyu's house to "talk about current affairs and conspire with each other".

In fact, it is just a group of aspiring scholars. In the original history, these people participated in the resistance against the Qing Dynasty, and finally either committed suicide or died in the Jiading massacre.

"Beizhi and Shanxi have all enclosed land, and then shaved their hair and made it easy to wear. Gu Yanwu said well, the Tartars not only want to go down to my great world, but also want to kill me in the world of China. ”

Gu Yanwu often publishes articles in newspapers, and has recently become famous, and his knowledge has been appreciated by a large number of scribes, and Gu Xianzheng appreciates it very much.

"Yes, it's going to kill me."

In ancient China, there was no national concept, only the concept of the state and the concept of the world. Because this is a unified country, you are surrounded by the same people, the same language, and the same culture, and it is really difficult for people to have a strong sense of similarity and difference.

The most productive period was actually the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, when a concept was formed called Zhuxia!

Zhuxia refers to the various vassal states under the Zhou Dynasty, recognizing that everyone is a legal system that has been passed down from Xia Yu, so there is a Xia character, but the word Xia did not produce a national concept in the end, because the Qin State soon dominated the world, and everyone began to have the title of the Qin people, and the Qin State did not form a nation, because it was soon replaced by the Han Dynasty, and all the later generations had the names of the Han people, which came from here.

The scholar also advocated the Central Plains civilization in brocade clothes and gorgeous clothes, so he took another Chinese character, which was collectively called Huaxia, which represented civilization.

The world is distinguished by culture. The so-called entry into China is China, and entering Yi Di is Yi Di, this is the traditional ethnic distinction, Han Yuyun: "Confucius's work "Spring and Autumn" is also. The princes used the Yi ceremony to raze it, and the Yi entered China as China. conAd1(); ”

That is, it emphasizes the etiquette system to distinguish Huayi, which is the Huayi concept generally accepted by scholars.

Mencius said: "The ministers heard that Xia changed to raze, and those who did not hear of it changed to raze." ”

The fierce Meng Fuzi only recognized Yidi learning the Central Plains culture, but did not recognize the Central Plains learning Yidi culture. It is also regarded as a model by scholars.

Now the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs, and at the beginning of the implementation of shaving hair and easy clothing, as a result, under the rule of the uprising, Dolgon had to give up this policy, but in the two provinces of Beizhili and Shanxi, which implemented the enclosure, there was no need to give up, the land in these two provinces was occupied, and the people became clothed slaves, who cares if they will rebel. Anyway, if you don't shave your hair, they will rebel, and it is the most correct to completely conquer their spirit.

This situation made the gentry in Jiangnan extremely frightened, thinking that this was to change the summer with Yiyi, Gu Yanwu immediately threw out his view of the world, saying that the death of the country is not terrible, but the world is terrible. Said: There is a country that perishes, and there is a world that perishes. Said: The surname of Yi was changed, and it was called the death of the country. Benevolence and righteousness are filled, and as for leading beasts to eat people, people will eat each other. It is said to be the death of the world.

Gu Yanwu's statement has been widely recognized by the gentry class in the south of the Yangtze River, and to change Xia is to destroy the world, which is obviously different from the national and national views of later generations. But this kind of concept originating from traditional etiquette and culture, even Yang Chao doesn't understand it, giving up benevolence and righteousness is the death of the world? Then the world of the Hereafter is indeed dead!

"Those who defend the country seek it by their kings and their ministers, and those who eat meat; Those who protect the world are cheap and responsible. This sentence is wonderful! ”

Xia Yunyi's son Xia Wanchun exclaimed.

The rise and fall of the world in the future generations is the responsibility of the husband, and it is from here that it comes from.

"Have you read all the new newspapers in Nanjing?"

At this time, Hou Xuanyu hurriedly walked in. With a brand new newspaper in their hands, it is still a trend for these scholars and doctors to get together to discuss current affairs, as if they used to go to the Qinglou.

"Brother-in-law, show it to me!"

Xia Wanchun jumped up, was the first to take it and looked at it, and frowned when he looked at it. conAd2();

"How? Is there a new decree? ”

Yang Chao is in the process of eradicating bad governance, so in recent months, he has regularly issued decrees.

"Or is there another corruption official who has made it public?"

Whenever a criminal official is found, Yang Chao will inevitably publish it in the newspaper, making them famous all over the world.

Xia Wanchun said: "The Metropolitan Governor's Mansion recruits scholars to join the army. ”

This, which made Xia Yunyi and others stunned for a moment, recruiting scholars to join the army has not been done since ancient times, which dynasty and which generation does not give preferential treatment to readers, and who dares to let readers go to the battlefield.

Xia Yunyi couldn't help asking, "Do you recruit staff?" Or join the army? ”

Scholars enter the army, or they join the army as staff members, and it is obvious that their greatest reliance is knowledge, and there are obviously fewer people who give advice than those who wield knives and guns, and scholars are more willing to accept this kind of errand that has both status and does not need to take too many risks.

Xia Wanchun handed the newspaper to his father and sighed: "It's a direct recruitment of soldiers." The Metropolitan Governor's Mansion declared that it is the responsibility of the people who rise and fall in the world, and recruit the world's reading seeds to join the pen and fight for the country! ”

Gu Xianzheng snorted: "What kind of country is the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, the dynasty is in Guangdong!" ”

He always adhered to orthodoxy and believed that the Ming Dynasty was everywhere, that is, the dynasty.

Xia Yunyi said: "If you look at it from the perspective of protecting the world, the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion is more meritorious than the national dynasty. ”

While reading the newspaper and posting this comment, Xia Yunyi's face suddenly changed: "The Metropolitan Governor's Mansion wants to open a department!" ”

Gu Xianzheng snorted: "Didn't he do it earlier?" ”

Xia Yunyi said: "This time is different." conAd3(); Last year, it was just a imperial examination in the army, but this time it is going to be said. However, if this person does not join the army, he will not be allowed to take the imperial examination, won't he cut off the way for the world's reading seeds to enter! ”

Gu Xianzheng snatched the newspaper and read it carefully, only to see that the words on it were clear, claiming that all those who are under the rule of the Metropolitan Governor's Office, regardless of Shinong, Industry and Commerce, and who do not serve in the army in the future, shall not participate in the reliable and shall not be an official.

Gu Xian's forehand trembled: "Insult Sven, insult Sven." ”

Gu Xianzheng really couldn't accept the decree to let the scholars go into battle to fight.

What no one noticed was that after Xia Wanchun's complicated expression was entangled for a long time, he suddenly showed a sense of determination.

"Father, the child wants to join the army!"

"You?"

Xia Yunyi couldn't help but be surprised when his son suddenly said that he was going to join the army, but after seeing his son's resolute look, he nodded lightly.

"Now that you've thought about it, if you're willing to take the risk, go for it. Yang Dadu was born in a craftsman household, not my gentleman. The behavior and deeds are indeed biased, but without the assistance of the gentry, it is inevitable to do these absurd things. You go to the army to keep a useful body, and you will become an official in the future when you enter the court. Good for the right way! ”

As soon as Gu Xianzheng heard Xia Yunyi's words, he immediately turned his face: "You think that he is going to be the emperor, he is not the emperor yet, such disloyal and unfilial words, when I Gu Xianzheng doesn't know you." ”

After saying that, he brushed his sleeves and left.

Xia Yunyi couldn't help but smile bitterly. This in-law's temper is too strong, isn't Yang Chao the emperor, he is already the emperor.

The surname Yi has just been changed, but Yang Chao has not done it, but what he is exercising is the power of the emperor, and Xia Yunyi believes that Yang Chao has done what the Ming Emperor could not do and did not dare to do, to eliminate maladministration, anti-corruption and anti-corruption. Which emperor has done it well, even Zhang Juzheng has not done it, Zhang Juzheng's is just to let the local government pay more taxes, who will manage the officials and corrupt people to make a living, if it were not for these corrupt officials and corrupt officials, maybe the northwest would not be opposed, and there would be no harvest for several years, but they would have to be tortured to force taxes, and they could not get when they sold their children and daughters. How not to reverse!

"I think Gu Yanwu should also join the army."

Xia Wanchun said resolutely, he has admired this Gu Yanwu's article a little recently.

Xia Yunyi smiled: "He won't go." ”

Gu Yanwu really didn't go.

After Xia Wanchun arrived in Nanjing, he inquired in many ways and found that very few children from wealthy families like him came to sign up. It is difficult to have people in the same way, and soon I saw Gu Yanwu's article in the newspaper criticizing the recruitment of scholars to join the army, thinking that this is insulting to Sven, claiming that scholars have the ambition to put pen to paper, but they must not have the means to kill the enemy with a knife, and read the seeds. You shouldn't go into battle to charge, you should make plans to outwit Yunyun.

At this time, Xia Wanchun actually agreed with it in his heart, it was too wasteful to go into battle to kill the enemy, but in order to win a high position, he would persuade Yang Chao in the future that joining the army was just an expedient measure.

"Xia Wanchun?"

"I am."

"How old are you?"

"Seventeen."

"Can you write?"

"The Four Books and the Five Classics are like a stream."

"Read this piece of paper to me."

At the Xinjiang Estuary Recruitment Office, an officer picked out one of the thick sheets of paper.

Xia Wanchun opened his mouth and read: "The righteousness must be purely taken from the law and the world and contemplated by the ancestors." The righteousness of the scholar will be served to the parents and be the ruler. Therefore, although there is a Ming Jun, the scholar does not teach first, and it is not available. The people of the ancients will establish the noble and lowly scriptures......"

"Okay, okay, write the first ten sentences of the three-character scripture here!"

Xia Wanchun wrote it quickly with a stroke of the pen, and saw the recruiter sigh and admire, the writing was so good, much stronger than his second knife in the army.

"Well, good. Sure enough, it's a reader. Have you ever practiced martial arts? ”

"Nope."

"Do you know how to ride a horse?"

"Yes."

"Okay, take this note to report, and you will be a cavalryman in the future."

Xia Wanchun took two quarters of an hour to complete the assessment, and got a small note, which said that he was excellent in reading and writing, and asked him to go to the cavalry instructor Guo Tongwu to report.

Xia Wanchun entered the barracks and was assigned a dormitory, a bed, a cotton coat, dishes and chopsticks.

There were already several people in the room, all eagerly discussing their military careers.

found that these people spoke more gently, and when I inquired, I knew that they were all readers, and after three or two sentences, everyone warmed up with each other, especially when I heard that Xia Wanchun was from the Songjiang Xia family, and they were even more eager to him.

Except for Xia Wanchun, in the whole barracks, there are some small landlords in the countryside, the children of merchants in the city, and there is not a single wealthy family.

One is forced by his father, his family has been happy for generations, Yang Chao abolished the music registration, his family is grateful to Dade, and hopes to give Yang Dadu Governor a soldier to fight the world.

He heard that the scientific examination in the army was very simple, and he did not test the scriptures, but only relied on practical learning, and he knew how to keep accounts with an abacus, hoping to rely on a petty official in charge of money and food.

There are few people who are truly inspired to serve the country, and there are few people like Xia Wanchun who hope to gain fame by joining the army, so as to support the right path.

was stunned, and suddenly saw another person walking in, Xia Wanchun couldn't help but be stunned and called out.

"Brother Kexian!" (To be continued.) )
