Chapter 286 The countryside surrounds the town

Hiding the wealth in the country or hiding the wealth in the people are two different national policies, but which one is better.

Even in later generations, there are different views on this, of course, it is best for the country to be rich and the people strong, but it is not easy to say,

Perhaps under the influence of traditional culture, our country has been advocating the idea of national interests above all else since ancient times, which has maintained the power of the feudal emperor to a certain extent, and also maintained the strength of the country, but it has also caused the cowardice and even numbness of the majority of the people, because the starting point of this kind of thinking itself is contrary to the surname and exists, and the selfishness of human beings has always been greater than the public heart, which is undeniable.

My original plan was to take this opportunity to let the media make a big splash, hoping that I would discuss this matter with all the people, so as to reach the point of national discussion, but in the end I gave up this idea, after all, the thinking of the people in this era has not yet reached the state of later generations.

At present, the Great Song Dynasty has to face the mortal enemy of Northern Mongolia, so I have decided to put the ideological revolution later, and the reform of government affairs, military reform, science and technology is the most important.

In fact, the same is true of any policy, only a suitable policy can be applauded, otherwise it will become metaphysical, a mere formality, and ultimately biased.

A nail household like Tian Ming, compared to the kind of later generations, is too far behind, I believe that the subtext friends will deal with it very well, as long as the government can go to the dialogue in an equal way, the matter should be handled properly soon, relatively speaking, the ancient people are still very easy to handle,

On the shore of Qiandao Lake, a quiet small village,

In the evening, as the sun sets in the west, the remnant sun shines on the surface of the lake, with bursts of dim golden light, and occasionally a breeze blows, causing a slight ripple.

"Such a tranquil beauty, I really never get tired of seeing it."

Suo Wuji on the side looked at the lake in the distance and said, "That's because the master's heart is peaceful." ”

"Huh." The middle-aged man said with a smile, "The situation is born from the heart, Suo Lao is right." ”

"Master, the hour is coming, let's go inside."

"Well, it's time for a meeting."

After entering the house, the middle-aged man put on a delicate mask to cover his slightly vicissitudes of life but still young and handsome face.

Suo Wuji skillfully activated the mechanism in the house, and accompanied the middle-aged man into a secret passage behind the bookcase, and a moment later, the two appeared in another large room.

"See the Elder." There were about 30 people in the room who clasped their fists together and saluted, and said in unison,

"Everyone's friend, it's been another year, well, the old man just counted the number of people, a total of 37 members attended this year, 8 more than the 29 people at last year's annual meeting, which means that I will add eight new branches this year, which is gratifying." The middle-aged man smiled, stretched out his hand and gestured, "Everyone, please take a seat." ”

"President Xie."

The middle-aged man bowed his head and said, "Well, Suo Lao, let's start." ”

As the secretary general of the Alliance, Suo Wuji got up and said: "Suo Mou, first of all, on behalf of the members of the Alliance base, welcome all new and old members, everyone will gather in the nameless fishing village on the shore of Qiandao Lake this evening to participate in the annual Congress of the Alliance, which is also the second annual Congress of the Alliance. ”

The middle-aged man also stood up with everyone, and recited in a low voice: "Break the old dynasty, establish a new country, all beings live together equally, all things thrive, burn my body, sprinkle my blood, for this ideal, at all costs, all members of our alliance will take this as their goal for life, and their lives will not stop, and they will not stop fighting." ”

Immediately afterwards, the others also read it aloud again with great enthusiasm, "All members of our alliance will take this as their goal for life, and their lives will never stop, and they will not stop fighting. ”

"You may be seated." Suo Wuji said, "Next, we will have a formal meeting, and according to the old rules, first ask the newcomer to introduce himself." ”

After introducing themselves to the eight newcomers, all of whom were from more remote areas, the farthest being Jingjiang Mansion (now Guilin) on Guangnan West Road, Suo Wuji applauded and welcomed: "Okay, welcome to the eight new members." ”

"Thank you, Suo Lao."

"Now, please ask the elders to instruct."

After a round of applause, the middle-aged humanitarian: "Members, since the establishment of the association, rapid development, has established 26 branches in various places, the number of members has reached more than 7,000, which shows that the purpose of the association has been recognized by the people, the president of this first to thank all the members here, this is the result of your efforts, the old man is deeply gratified, there will be you who care about the world's elites, why worry about the big thing, back to the topic, the main content of this session is to analyze the current situation, and discuss the priorities for the coming year. ”

The middle-aged man wore a mask on his face, and everyone couldn't see the solemnity on his face: "Compared with previous years, today's situation has changed a lot with the ascension of the new emperor of the Song Dynasty, from the series of actions of the Song Dynasty emperor this year, the strength of the Song Dynasty seems to have been greatly improved, although the Song Emperor is young, but compared with the old emperor, the ambition has increased dramatically, and the biggest power struggle within it has also ended temporarily with the imperial power pressed to the relative power, for us, the changes in the Song Dynasty may add a lot of difficulties, The changes within the Song Dynasty made its government gradually move towards clarity, and the support of the people also increased, which is the main reason why you have found that the development of this association has been slow in recent times. ”

"Some time ago, the Luzhou army of the Song Dynasty regained the south bank of the Huai River, so that the prestige of the Song court rose to a new level, and the northern Mongolia since five years ago after the retreat, Kublai Khan has now firmly grasped the government, and now is also in the army, gathering forces, preparing for the next southern invasion, with the judgment of the old man, within five years, Kublai Khan is bound to go south again, and will be the strength of the whole country to try to destroy the Song Dynasty in one fell swoop, last year the plan set by the association is to seize the Song Dynasty to resist Mongolia, this plan is still unchanged, But we also have to adjust with the change of the times, the Song Dynasty and Mongolia are making changes in order to increase the national strength, this is the current situation, everyone, in the face of this situation, how should this council develop. ”

For a while, no one spoke at the venue.

After a long time, the dullness of the scene was broken by the voice of the first speaker,

The first to can't help but speak is Hu Feng, who is said to be in Jinhua Mansion: "Lord Grow, this kind of situation will be very unfavorable to me, after the subordinates were frustrated in Jinhua, they moved to Wenzhou Mansion, and there was little progress, compared to the past, the development of members is indeed much more difficult, and the people's confidence in the court seems to have begun to increase. ”

Fang Zhuo, who was next to Hu Feng, also said: "Elder, what Hu Huiyou said is exactly what his subordinates want to say, please instruct me to wait for the next direction." ”

The middle-aged man said: "Ladies and gentlemen, you all know very well that the behavior of this association can be called ' Revolution', and revolution is a long-term and arduous cause, the change of dynasties, who can do smooth sailing, the change of dynasties in history has told us the answer, no, in this long-term struggle carried out by the association, it is natural to encounter all kinds of setbacks, experience all kinds of troughs, this is unavoidable, then what to do, when you encounter difficulties, do you retreat, no, the old man thinks that you will not, because since the day you joined the association, you have the consciousness of fighting for the new country for life, when you encounter difficulties, you will overcome difficulties, enter the trough, and rush to the peak, this is the fighting spirit of this association, of course, we can not mess around, but to find a suitable way, in order to most effectively resolve the current difficulties. ”

"Please make it clear to you, Lord."

"Well, everyone, have you noticed that this year's new members are all from more remote areas?"

"Exactly, just how does it relate to the problem I'm going to have at the moment." Now even Suo Wuji asked inexplicably,

The middle-aged man ignored Suo Wuji's question and said with a smile: "Ladies and gentlemen, the problem you have encountered is actually known to the old man for a long time, but this problem is indeed very tricky, and the old man has also gone through several long examinations before he has set the direction of the work of the association next year." ”

When the members of the alliance heard that the elder had already taken measures, they concentrated their minds.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the development area of this association is the entire territory of the Song Dynasty, and where is the development center of the Song Dynasty."

Hu Feng said: "In Lin'an, in Wenzhou, in its more developed areas. ”

The middle-aged man nodded and said: "What Hu Feng said is true, if the association wants to develop, it should start from the weak areas of the Song Dynasty, and its weak places are in the remote roads and remote and backward rural and mountainous areas, so the focus of the association in the coming year is to go deep into the backward places, develop rural members, and finally surround the towns with the countryside." ”

If I had been there at the time, I would have been astonished to think that the president of the League was also a traverser, and that he had put forward the idea of a guerrilla strategy of encircling the cities from the countryside.

"What, start with the countryside."

"The countryside surrounds the town."

The middle-aged man patiently explained: "Friends, the art of war is cloudy, avoid the real and attack the weak, the old man's plan is to avoid the center of the Song Dynasty, work in the areas where its control is weak, and gradually develop and grow, let's imagine, a few years later, the Song and Mongolian war, no matter who wins and who loses, will both lose, and then our alliance will rise from the mountainous areas and rural areas, isn't it possible to get twice the result with half the effort." ”

"Seems to make sense." And they thought,

"Isn't it true that all the new members we have developed this year are from remote areas?" The middle-aged man said, "Therefore, your thinking must change in the future, and it should also be noted that after the incident in Jinhua Mansion, the government may know some of the situation of this association, so everyone should be more careful in the coming year." ”

"The subordinates are here."

"After the meeting, you can tell everyone how to protect yourself."

"Yes, President."
