Chapter 265: One word for the country

Li Xi and Duan Hongshi glanced at each other, and at this time they had a tacit understanding, it was indeed different, this involved their country, what is the highest goal.

The former set the goal of the country as the overthrow of the Manchus, but for Li Shi, this was only the goal of the stage surname. The latter encapsulates the country's ultimate goal, which is to revitalize China.

However, the actual step is to first condense the engine that will push the future of China, which is a process from the outside to the inside and then from the inside out. Using that ultimate goal, it seems to be a somewhat vague slogan, but it is more pragmatic.

Li Xi had a deep conversation with Duan Hongshi and others who were immersed in the way of God, and they all had a consensus, that is, the question of which is more difficult to fight the world or rule the world.

Ordinary people always think that first to fight the world, and then to rule the world, these are two separate processes. If we look at history in detail with the word "true," we can see many clues, the process of conquering the world, and at the same time, laying out the pattern of governing the world. Far from what people think, after the fight, the world is a blank sheet of paper, which is left to entrepreneurs to sketch at will.

This truth seems complicated, and you can understand one of the usual things in the founding of the Chinese Dynasty, that is, the killing of heroes. Why kill heroes? Not only to pave the way for future generations to take over the country, but also to remove the colors painted in the process of conquering the world, otherwise the founding monarch will always be unable to paint the world like a blank piece of paper.

Of course, even if the heroes were killed, the founding emperors didn't realize that after killing all the heroes, the world was not a blank slate. Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang kept killing officials, and even peeling and pulling grass, just for his ideal country.

A counterexample is the Song Dynasty, the world of the Song Dynasty has always been considered to be unjust to win the country, but it is because of this injustice that prompted Song Taizu to rely on the policy of Huairou to relieve the military power, divide the world with the scholars, and gain the softness of the world, and at the same time establish the stability of governing the world. No matter how later generations think that the Song Dynasty is weak, at the end of the Song Dynasty, the material and cultural prosperity is the culmination of Chinese history.

Another striking example is Meng Yuan, the so-called "immediately fight the world, and immediately rule the world", that is because it is indeed on the horse, that is, by force, to seize China. It rules the world, and naturally it is drawn by this force. At the same time that Yashan destroyed the Southern Song Dynasty, Jiangnan was still running horses and destroying fields, and at this time it was already doomed to the end of Meng Yuan's luck for a hundred years, and such a general trend could not be reversed by a few wise emperors and ministers.

The last case is the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the Manchu Qing Dynasty colluded with the Chinese officials and Confucianism to win the world, and it was a stealing occupation, and this process was destined to make it extremely weak and weak-hearted. It is also destined to be a combination of force and cynicism in Chinese civilization, it is a parasitic human virus, and Meng Yuan's wild wolf that swallows people's stomachs, and then benefits from the global trend, so it can have a lifespan of more than 200 years, and its longevity is not created by a few emperors, but by the process of "fighting the world".

Li Xi is against the Qing Dynasty, and Zhu Yuanzhang is against the Yuan, the situation is very different, for the real goal, Li Xi must fight the world and rule the world at the same time, and even rule the world first.

Therefore, taking "expelling the Tartars and restoring China" as the foundation of the founding of the country, setting off an anti-Qing wave, and going straight to Yanjing with all his heart, it seems to be happy, but in fact it is endless.

Besides, Li Shi couldn't set off an anti-Qing wave, this was not the Qianjia period, the intellectuals of this era were fighting with the Manchus, and the Manchus were their Zhengshuo. The Legalist policy of the former Ming Dynasty was carefully combed and perfected, woven into a tight and orderly net, tightly entangled with the grass people's **, and the science of the law is often further soaked, eroding and controlling psychologically, and the braid is the sign of intubation at the back of the head.

Judging from historical facts, in the late Kangxi period, Yongzheng and even most of Qianlong, the wave of anti-Qing Dynasty has basically been cut off, and the vast majority of "uprisings" are no different from the rebellions of previous Chinese dynasties, and do not have national colors.

From this understanding, it can be deduced that the slogan of "expelling the Tartars and restoring China" was actually the same as "obeying heaven and punishing injustice" to the general public at this time, and they were all the same mysterious. The backbone of the Chinese nation has been broken and is sleeping, and this banner cannot wake them up, because in their hearts, the Manchu Tartar is China, and the anti-Manchu is the Tatar.

It can't wake up the public, but it may disrupt its own pace, especially its own army, its own core talents, and twist the hearts of the people who are condensed up and down in a new direction.

Li Xian's country, there are two enemies, one is the external Manchu Qing, and the other is the inner human heart condensed by cynicism and harshness.

The time to mention the slogan "expelling the Tartars" was far from ripe, so Li Xi decided to choose slogans such as "Serve Heaven and Conquer the Grievances" in the article for the founding of the country, not mentioning how big our country should be and who we would destroy, but only what kind of country our country would be.

Writing a text based on this tone is naturally very empty, and it shows the intention of separating and standing on its own, but now this text is not the last one, so you don't have to pay too much attention to it.

The country was established as the king, the text set the tone, and then, the trouble of the country name was thrown back.

Everyone's burning eyes converged on Li Shi, and Li Xi only felt that his brain was grumbling and boiling, and between the knots, the heat rushed to his heart, leading his mind to a more distant prospect.

He felt that he was not so powerful, and that he could complete the series of great undertakings of overthrowing the Manchu Qing Dynasty, revitalizing China, and even dominating the world in one fell swoop in his lifetime. But with China rushing out of Asia and joining the game of global colonization and fattening, this goal can always be achieved, and in the process, it is absolutely inevitable to compete with the British who are climbing the peak of the empire.

The general trend of China has changed because of itself, will the general trend of the world change because of itself?

This English word, I'm afraid it's a topic that God has listed for him in advance, to see which English will win in this game in the future.

Judging from the habit of Chinese people who like to dismantle words to see meaning, this "English" character also has a profound meaning when dismantled. Under the grass, the original meaning of the central is the first birth, which can be interpreted as the first birth of plants and trees, which is full of vitality, which is suitable for the beginning of the country. To be strong, the central government is the center, which can symbolize the strength of the country. And then in the new era of the people's wisdom, the grass is for the people, the central government is for the king, the people are precious, and the king is light, I am afraid that future generations will say that he Li Xian's sacred heart is lofty, and he has arranged the national situation for a hundred years early, haha...... It's just that the deviation of this sense of substitution, as well as the trouble of confusion with the British, is too big, how to solve it?

"I'm British, not British."

The sense of substitution is strengthened a little.

"English changed to Yingli in writing!"

A little comforted.

"Britain or something, it's used in official documents. Self-proclaimed Yinghua Heavenly King, with the word Yinghua as the common name of the country, so that it can be referred to as the Chinese people and the army as the Chinese army. ”

Yes, the psychological construction began to work, and I faintly began to accept this setting.

Concentrate on it again, "I'm ...... British"

Well, it's a little bit of a feeling.

Seeing that Li Xian's expression was still changing, everyone said in their hearts, could it be that the fourth brother had a grudge against this "English" character in his last life? But I didn't know that Li Xi did have a grudge against the word "English" in his previous life, and he had hung English in college for four years, and his hatred was as deep as the sea...... Duan Hongshi was annoyed: "I haven't heard of a country that has become a Zhengshuo country by clinging to the previous dynasty!" Since it is a newly established number, it is naturally born, do you really want to get the two-character number of Chu Nanping and the like? ”

Li Shi smiled bitterly and shook his hand, Huaxia, China, and Zhonghua are all titles of cultural significance, and when they are used as national names, they can go further than the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

Ying, then Ying, just look at my British Celestial Empire, and the British Empire in the future has changed owners...... Duan Hongshi's later words are very reasonable, Xia, Shang, Zhou, Qin, Han, Tang, Song and Ming, including the Wei and Jin dynasties, in Chinese history, there is really no one who clings to the orthodox name of the previous dynasty to establish a country, and then it is also regarded as Zhengshuo by later generations and has achieved a great reputation, so it cannot take the same name as the previous dynasty. But if you want to start a new one, everyone has never heard of it, so it feels strange and powerless. Only when this country rises and becomes popular in the hearts of the people will it feel obedient and durable, and it will be enshrined as righteousness.

"Good! Our country name is Ying, in order to show that Huaxia Zhengshuo, commonly known as Yinghua, I will call myself...... Yinghua Heavenly King, build the Heavenly King's Mansion, and command the military and government! ”

Everyone happily bowed, Li Xi sat upright to accept the salute, collected his heart, and announced in a deep voice that this word is really important to the country.

On the side of government affairs, including the transfer of power with Qingtian Company, the official position setting of Tianwang Mansion, and the operation process of government affairs, Li Shi handed over all the work to Duan Hongshi and others, and he had to focus all his energy on military affairs, and the most important goal was naturally to take Guangzhou.

"Guangzhou has been guarding for ten months back then, are we enough people?"

Su Wencai was very worried, he was still thinking about whether to encourage the patrolmen to fight with Li Yan.

"It's easy to take Guangzhou, but it's hard to stabilize Guangzhou."

Looking through the glass window, the city of Guangzhou in the distance lies in the middle of the night, the lights are sparse and lonely, the silence is abnormal, and the noise of more than 100,000 people in Qingpu seems to have long dissipated.

"Guangzhou City, it's already in chaos."

Li Shi whispered, he didn't see or hear, but he could feel it.

In the west of Guangzhou, the yamen of the general of Guangzhou, screamed again and again, blood splashed everywhere, and He Mengfeng, a guerrilla in the rear camp of the military standard, stood stunned on the spot, until a few waist knives waved towards him, and he returned to his place in spirit.

"Wang Shenrong! What are you doing!? ”

He Mengfeng followed a group of guerrillas with the military standard, and was summoned to gather at the general's yamen, thinking that he was going to discuss the defense of Guangzhou. Li Shi raised the flag, and the shouts of long live almost spread throughout the city.

The next thing, just like when the three feudatories raised troops, Tang You, the governor of Guangdong, once broke into the enemy camp alone, and there was no news, and he didn't know whether he was alive or dead. Li Shi's soldiers also began to dig trenches and set up artillery outside Xiguan, apparently to attack the city overnight.

Not only are people panicking about their military standards, but also the Dongguan town standards that are being transferred to Guangzhou City are also ownerless. Li Xian's soldiers, the fierceness of the guns, those who heard it were already frightened, and those who witnessed it like He Mengfeng were even more frightened. In addition, this Guangzhou city was originally undefended against Li Shi's people, and he also led the official position of the magistrate of Nanhai County, and he didn't know how much internal eyeliner he had laid in the city.

He Mengfeng and his colleagues have a consensus that it is easy for Li Shi to take Guangzhou, but in contrast, how to stabilize Guangzhou is much more troublesome.

As for how these officers and soldiers should deal with themselves, they can only helplessly wait for the military orders of the officials. They are not soldiers, and most of their relatives are not local. When the fight started, these local soldiers became ordinary people as soon as they lost their weapons, but they couldn't escape, and the guillotines of the court were waiting for them.

But a group of officials entered the general's yamen and were taken to a remote place, and Wang Hua, the general of the military standard middle battalion, just appeared, and waved his hand and dropped a word: "Kill!" ”

Not only did Wang Hua's personal soldiers rush up, but a large number of flag soldiers appeared. He Mengfeng suddenly realized at this time that the group of officials who were summoned were all witnesses of the Qingpu Battle at the beginning of the year, and they were connected with each other in the later Guangzhou City Rebellion, instigating the rebels to besiege Guangxiao Temple, and their subordinates had been hanging by Li Shi's pension silver, and they were very close to Qingtian Company.

"Don't blame me! I was forced too! ”

Wang Hua's eyes were full of fierce tears together, and behind him, a figure appeared with a frosty cold air.

"Horse Leader!?"

He Mengfeng was shocked, and the person who came was Ma Harrier, a confidant of Guangzhou General Guan Yuanzhong.

"Hurry up and deal with it, and then go to the west gate to crush the rioters."

Ma Harrier said in a cold voice, now is a matter of life and death, these military standard officers cannot be trusted, and they must be solved by thunderbolt means, otherwise Guangzhou is in danger, and their tens of thousands of bannermen are in danger. For this reason, Guan Yuanzhong issued a strict order, but if anyone is not credible, go straight to it!

Hundreds of soldiers besieged and killed thirty or forty military standard officers who had been confiscated, scolding and wailing angrily, and the sound of sharp blades penetrating flesh and bones rang out.

Seeing that there was no way to live, He Mengfeng roared in his heart, he knew that Lao Tzu would have rebelled first!

Rumble...... The sound of artillery sounded near the general's yamen, startling the horse harrier to freeze on the spot, Wang Hua was even more frightened and threw himself on the ground with his head in his hands, Li Xi entered the city!?

"That's not right! It's the sound of the mountain-splitting cannon in our camp! ”

Wang Hua heard it, and then the noisy shouting and killing sounded.

"Broken...... The man who disposed of the soldiers missed. ”

The horse harrier said hatefully, the officials must be disposed of, and the soldiers must also be disposed of, and their flag soldiers have been staring at the military standard, which flood sheds are not credible, and which thorns are disasters, they all know in their hearts. The city gate was guarded by the Guangzhou city guard camp and the Dongguan town mark, and their banner soldiers went to clean up the internal troubles in Guangzhou.

Unexpectedly, those green battalion soldiers actually defeated the flag soldiers, and gathered to kill the general Yamen?

"Let's go!"

He Mengfeng was overjoyed, and took the military standard officer Zuo, who was lucky not to die, to hit a bloody road and join forces with his soldiers.

"Let's ......"

The colleague gasped and asked, the blazing flame in his eyes still pressed by a thin membrane.

"It's the other way around!"

He Mengfeng wiped the blood from his face, pulled out his subordinates' waist knives, waved them towards the sky, and shouted loudly.

"Kill the Tartars!"
