At this time, the landlords and squires were still very benevolent, righteous and moral, except for a few who were stingy to the extreme, they all knew the truth of accumulating yin virtue. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info not to mention that Confucianism pays attention to "self-cultivation, family, governance, and peace in the world", that is, in the popular metaphysics of the Jin Dynasty, there are similar debates.

In addition, at this time, Buddhism was rising, and more attention was paid to doing good deeds and accumulating virtues, also known as accumulating yin virtues. Although it is unknown to people who have done good deeds in secret, there are ghosts and gods recorded in legends, so if someone accumulates more yin virtue, heaven will repay him. There is a cloud in "Huainanzi Human Training": "Those who have yin virtue must have yang retribution, and those who have yin must have fame." It is to persuade people to do good deeds and not to do things that are detrimental to yin morality.

After the development of the ancient landlords and squires, they all knew that they should do good deeds for their children and grandchildren, or run righteous schools, or build bridges and pave roads, or give porridge and medicine to beggars, etc., which can be regarded as doing many good things for the township. If the township and county want to pledge anything, these people are very positive responses, because they understand a truth, the court is stable, they can be stable.

If you are rich and unkind, you are poked in the back by your neighbors, and in this era when good things don't go out and evil things go thousands of miles, I'm afraid that few landlords and squires can withstand it, unless it's shameless, and future generations don't want to take the imperial examination. Isn't there a saying that "people are shameless, and the world is invincible"? Otherwise, you still have to keep your reputation, even if you don't need it, future generations can use it!

The landlord class can go through the vicissitudes of several thousand years, and it certainly has a role, at least in stabilizing people's hearts. As for the end it was defeated, it was just that it hindered the progress of society.

Of course, there are good and bad landlords, and we cannot generalize. But in the more peaceful era, the landlord and squire were still good, at least not as hateful as the so-called "Zhou Papi". Because in this era, Confucianism is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and the Gangchang Rites and Teachings will be consciously adhered to regardless of whether they are literate or not. This is the subtle power of thought, and Confucianism has done a very good job in this regard.

Of course, Lu Chenhuan, who was full of worries at the moment, didn't have the heart to think about this. He now has a headache as to how to get a group of landlubbers to cross such a wide pool of water to attack the so-called water thieves.

Of course, if you have a boat, and someone who can row.

But now the forbidden army basically walks on two feet, where to get a boat? Is it impossible to requisition those small fishing boats? I don't know how big the boat is that of the water thief, it's just an ordinary warship, those small fishing boats are just patchwork of sampans, I'm afraid I can't help but crash!

Even if he has never eaten pork, he has seen Lu Chenhuan who has seen pigs running, and every year during the Dragon Boat Festival, he will go to the Fenghe River to watch the dragon boat competition, and he vaguely understands some of the principles of commanding the navy.

In fact, water warfare is similar to the principle of land warfare, which depends on the weapon configuration of both sides. The difference is that during the period of cold weapons, land warfare looked at horse warfare, and whoever had more cavalry would be able to gain an advantage. In water warfare, it is based on the comparison of the ships of the two sides, and the number of people is secondary. If the ship wins, there is no need to engage in broadside battles at all, and it is more effective than anything else to aim and crash over.

The soldiers who fell into the water, no matter how powerful the water were, were in vain. No matter how good you are, you have to surface to breathe, right? As soon as you slap the stick, you won't have a place to cry!

Besides, even if a fishing boat is requisitioned, such a short fishing boat can't even reach the side of other people's boats, so what kind of broadside battle will it take? What a joke! Even if you shoot with a strong crossbow, people rush over you unreasonably, what do you use to resist? This is not to say that a small ship is necessarily faster than a large ship, but the power of a large ship can be used not only by manpower, but also by the help of wind, and even more, by a water wheel, that is, a boat powered by multiple people stepping on their feet. Such a fast boat, unaffected by the wind and water, can be as fast as a flying fish, which is not at all comparable to those slow and leisurely small fishing boats.

If you want to encircle and suppress those water thieves, it is simply impossible to have a boat!

Just as Lu Chenhuan frowned and watched the auxiliary soldiers carrying the grain and grass, the head of the official who delivered the grain and grass came up and said, "Presumably this is Commander Lu, right?" The small eyes are clumsy, and they dare not recognize it for a while. ”

Lu Chenhuan was worried in his heart, where did he have time to listen to him say these gossips, glanced at him, and said lightly: "It's Ben General, I don't know what is wrong with you?" ”

The official said with a smile: "The Yin of Qi Mansion told the little one to bring a sentence to the commander, saying that if the general wants to cross the water and encircle and suppress the water thieves, it is best to go to the west of Dongping Mansion, next to the water park, there is a water village established by a water division of the imperial court, and there are ships that the general wants." ”

Lu Chenhuan's eyes lit up when he heard this, he stepped on the iron shoes and had nowhere to go, and it didn't take any effort to get them, when he was about to fall asleep, someone brought a pillow, how could he not be surprised?

After the surprise, there were more doubts, how did this Qi Mansion Yin know that he was leading the forbidden army to come to encircle and suppress the water thieves? Could it be that the holy decree of the little emperor was given to this Qi Mansion Yin? If not, this is unreasonable, the rapid march of the forbidden army is at least more than 80 miles a day. Except for camping, there is almost no time wasted on the road, and meals are eaten while walking and eating dry food. Only when I arrived at a place with clear water did I take a short rest, fill my water bag, and continue on my way.

Now that he has only set foot on Shandong Road for less than half a day, the Qi Mansion Yin of Dongping Mansion knows his intention?

After Lu Chenhuan was pleasantly surprised, he asked the official this question very unceremoniously. The official smiled bitterly and said, "Liangshan is a water thief, and it is getting stronger and stronger. Not only my family's Fu Yin, but also other state pastors, Fu Yin, are also very unbearable. The previous forbidden army encircled and suppressed the Taiyuan Wang family, there are not many others on Shandong Road, but there are many spies of water thieves, as soon as the general arrives on Shandong Road, not to mention water thieves, even my family Yin knows it clearly......"

Lu Chenhuan was stunned, he thought that after marching in a hurry for so many days, he should be able to surprise the water thieves, who knew that these water thieves were so alert, and they actually knew the whereabouts of the forbidden army so clearly, so what was the point of a sneak attack? I knew it and walked over slowly, and I recuperated.

However, it is still too late to adjust the strategy, so don't rush into action. After all, in the water, it is still a familiar point for water thieves.

After listening to the words of the servant, Lu Chenhuan felt that something was wrong, the water thieves were so well-informed, there must be many spies. With so many spies, can there be fewer water thieves?

Lu Chenhuan hurriedly asked, "Dare to ask how many water thieves there are in this water pool?" ”

The official smiled bitterly and said: "The general has seen that in order to plunder the rich merchants in the past, the entire Dongping Mansion and even the Jinan Mansion are almost full of their spies. According to the small one, there should be 5,000 water thieves in the water pool. The small native of Dongping Mansion has known the water thieves in the water since he was a child, and the momentum of the water thieves has become even greater over the years......"

Hearing the number "five thousand", Lu Chenhuan almost didn't fall off the horse! Even the intelligence of the Supervision Department will be wrong, how powerful is this water thief? (To be continued.) )
