Chapter 298: The First Update
is still full of 50 monthly passes, and Da Luo Luo is rolling all over the ground asking for a monthly pass
On the north bank of the Yangtze River, Shazhou Wharf. [ads:This site has a new URL,Shorthand method:,]
It's another scene ready to go. Along the Yangtze River, hundreds of warships, large and small, pulled out a long line.
The autumn wind from the northwest was tight, and the cool autumn rain was also misty. In the midst of the wind and rain, countless soldiers and civilians were silently boarding the ship. This time there were more than 20,000 officers and soldiers and nearly 30,000 civilians on the long journey. Civilians consisted mainly of the families of military generals and a small number of artisans and sailors who were coerced.
Leaving one's homeland is always a sad thing, even if there is a brilliant future waiting for everyone in the distance. I don't know when it began, the civilians on the dock began to cry in a low voice, and the soldiers of the Northern Expeditionary Army all looked sad, as if the strong man was gone, and he would not return!
On the Lichun Pavilion near the pier, a pre-parting wine banquet is being held on to Yankuai. The east is Li He, the Yangzhou observer, and Cheng Dayuan, the Zhenzhou observer. Both of them were Huaishang generals, not big or small warlords, and before the Lin'an Change, they led their troops to garrison Huaidong. Zhao Kui moved to Jiankang, and after Li Tingzhi entered Lin'an, Huaidong was empty, and Li He and Cheng Dayuan picked up a bargain, and they all became a state observation. These two people, speaking of which, can be regarded as the blessing of Chen Da's traitor, this posture is naturally very low, not only to send each other to the sandbank in person, but also to prepare a generous gift full of color. In his words, he regarded himself as Chen Dexing's subordinate. Hearing that Chen Dexing and the princess were about to get married, both of them patted their chests and said that they wanted to congratulate them in person!
Chen Dexing kept smiling and listened to these two old military leaders who were as old as his grandfather saying unnutritious compliments. When Cheng Dayuan talked about giving his granddaughter to Chen Dexing's newborn younger brother (born to Chen Huaiqingna's concubine), Chen Dexing stood up lightly: "Cheng Observation, Li Observation, I don't know if I can have such an opportunity to talk to the two of you alone?" β
The two old military leaders glanced at each other, and the four old eyes rolled, and they all said: "I don't dare to ask for ears." Chen Dexing stood up and bowed slightly to his father and Liao Yingzhong: "Don't accompany you." β
Then he led Cheng Dayuan and Li He through the screen and out of the back door of the hall. On the corridor in the backyard, lanterns are hung. The halo flows, and it has a unique charm.
Guarding the courtyard are Chen Dexing's young guards, and these half-grown children take turns to serve as guards by Chen Dexing's side. It is to study in the cadet class of the military academy - the course arranged by Chen Dexing for them is the closest to the future generations. If you read all the courses, you can basically reach the level of junior high school students in later generations. And because the level of the instructors is relatively low, and they almost teach while learning, it takes a longer time to complete all the coursework, which takes four or five years. But it's hard to get started. When this group of students debuted, only a few of them were really talented in science, and Chen Dexing planned to accept them as disciples by his side, impart more scientific knowledge, and then let them go to the branches, and then it would be a new school!
Chen Dexing waved lightly at the future masters of the school, asking the future masters of the school to retire for the time being. In the courtyard, only Chen Dexing and the two elderly military leaders remained.
"The two of you observe, there is a mention of yΓ¬ in a certain family, and I want to talk to the two of you." Chen Dexing was silent for a while. Finally said lightly, "A certain family's mention yΓ¬ wants to restore some Zhou rites. β
"Zhou ...... Courtesy? β
The two old military leaders were stunned at the same time, and they all looked at Chen Dexing fixedly-from Zhou Fuli or something, it was all a dream talk of science and sourness. Chen Dexing's head soldier or a rebel thief, what kind of coaxing?
"Captain Chen, what are you talking about...... The gift of Chai Zhou? Cheng Dayuan asked tentatively. He guessed that Chen Dexing was going to move the descendants of the Later Zhou Chai family out to fight against Zhao Song. But how many years has Chai Zhou been in total? How can it be compared with the Great Song Dynasty, which has been maintained for 300 years?
"It's not Chai Zhou, it's Ji Zhou for more than 2,000 years!" Chen Dexing slowly said his thoughts.
"Ji Zhou ......"
Cheng Dayuan and Li He were stunned and stunned, they really didn't understand what kind of medicine was sold in Chen Dexing's Hulu?
"The origin of the government of the past dynasties of Guanwu Huaxia is nothing more than the Zhou system and the Qin system. The Zhou system was feudal, dividing the land and the princes, with the Zhou on the top and the states on the bottom. Respect the king, go on a blind date, and protect the 800 years of Ji Zhou.
The Qin system advocates centralization of power and collects the land of the world and counties. Collect the world's soldiers to cast bronze people, but also collect the world's wealth, and collect the world's people's power for the king's poverty and luxury, so the second died. The Later Han Dynasty followed the Qin system, and also took the county system as the power to gather the world, and passed it down to the Great Song Dynasty through the two Jin, Sui and Tang dynasties. Although there are improvements. However, its fundamental system still originated from the violent Qin. β
Chen Dexing actually wanted to restore the feudalism of the Zhou Dynasty, so that all the feudal towns and princes could legally become kings!
Cheng Dayuan and Li He both shook their heads, and Li He said: "The Zhou system is divided into the world, so that the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the world has been in chaos for more than 500 years, and there is a reunification." Therefore, the first emperor went to the county and set power. Now there is a strong enemy Mongolia outside, and if it is divided internally, I am afraid that it will be broken by the Mongols......"
Li He's feudal town has been in time too short, and his thinking has not changed, and he still believes that under the current situation, it is still better to unify and centralize power than to divide it.
Chen Dexing looked at Cheng Dayuan, Cheng Dayuan smiled bitterly and shook his head: "If the world is unified, where should we, the lords of a town, go?" β
Li He was stunned: "This ......"
It seems like so! If the world is unified, the fifteen feudal towns of the Great Song Dynasty, as well as a bunch of Han marquis on the Mongolian side, how can the big guys mix? Give the terracotta territory to the imperial court, and then go to the Storm Pavilion!? Who will!
"That's it!" Chen Dexing nodded and said: "It doesn't matter whether the Qin system is good or the Zhou system is good, what matters is what kind of system can be practiced in the world today." Now the southern dynasty feudal town, the northern Han marquis numbered by tens, sitting on millions of elite soldiers, the Lin'an court is not able to pacify at all, not to mention that there are two or three hundred thousand Mongolian barbarian warriors in the north...... Relying on the imperial court is not equal in any way. Therefore, the imperial court has no capital to practice the Qin system at all, and the only way out is to practice the Zhou system and restore the Zhou ceremony. β
This is the only feasible way out - because the Southern Song Dynasty court simply did not have the strength to wipe out the feudal towns, let alone even the princes in the north to be bulldozed for a while!
"And what about the North?" Li He shook his head and asked again, "We can't beat the Mongols together, if we break it down into more than a dozen parts, won't the Mongols be wiped out?" β
This concern is taken for granted, the power of unity is always greater than division, right? Of course, this is good, but it must be true unity, not a reunification that has fallen apart, but you lie to yourself that it is reunification.
Chen Dexing waved his hand and said with a smile: "Can't be extinguished!" How many Mongolian talents are there? He stretched out a slap, "Kublai Khan has at most 50,000 Mongols under his hands, and the troops of our 15 towns in the Southern Dynasty are added together, and there are 500,000 on the books!" Moreover, there is also the Hanhou of the Northland! There were no less than three or four hundred thousand men and horses. Combined, there are millions of people! How did Kublai Khan fight? β
In fact, in this era of the Han dynasty, the Han people's force was not weaker than the invincible Mongol Empire, not to mention Kublai Khan, the puppet Khan - the Mongols in his hands accounted for only a small fraction of the total Mongols. The Han people were the main force of Kublai Khan to defeat Ali Buge, and they were also the main force of Kublai Khan's destruction of the Southern Song Dynasty......
"But how did the Northland Han Marquis be willing to go to war with the Mongols?" Li He is still a little skeptical.
Chen Dexing said lightly: "If the time, the place, and the people are all available, how can the Han Marquis not be anti-Mongolian?" He paused, snapped his fingers and said, "After the death of MΓΆngke Khan, Mongolia was divided into two, and the Great Khans of the North and South fought each other, and there was already a decline, which was not conducive to Mongolia.
Our Northern Expeditionary Army crisscrossed the sea, was invincible, and then reoccupied Liaodong according to Goryeo. The coast of the Northland, I can come and go, even Yanjing may not be able to go! This is a geographical advantage that is not conducive to Mongolia.
The Han Marquis of the Northland, a generation of many heroes, how could he be willing to be a Mongolian slave? Loyalty and dedication are forced by the general trend and lured by interests. Now that the general trend is no longer favorable to Mongolia, if it can be tempted to benefit again, how can the Han Marquis not betray Mongolia? β
"Is this a repetition system?" Li He asked again.
"The resumption of the Zhou system is only one of them, and the second is the king of the first to restore the swallow!" Chen Dexing said word by word.
"The king of the first to recover the swallow is ......"
Chen Dexing said in a deep voice: "Of course it's the co-lord of the Northland!" β
Chen Dexing's plan is to assemble the princes of the conference, and make an agreement with Mengmeng, and whoever recovers Yanjing first will be the co-lord of the northern land! And the lord of the northern land of the Han people, ten Yankuai is the co-lord of the world - Chen Dexing is equivalent to taking out the whole world as a prize, in order to win over the northern Han marquis who has the ambition of the emperor!
It's hard to say how attractive this trick is to other Northland Han Hou, but Li Cuixian and her father Li Pu will definitely enter the urn. Chen Dexing entered from the east and west of Liao, and Li Pu went up from the northeast of the mountain, if the powerful Han Hou Wanhu like Shi Tianze and Liu Heima had a different heart, and there were people in the southern dynasty towns who wanted to fish in troubled waters, then even if Kublai Khan had three heads and six arms, it would be difficult to save the overall situation.
Of course, Cheng Dayuan and Li He's troops and territory are very limited, and they never dare to think about the co-masters of the Northland.
The two looked at Chen Dexing with some incomprehension. Cheng Dayuan said: "What does Taiwei Chen want the two of us to do?" β
Chen Dexing said: "I want to propose in front of the heroes of the world on the day of my wedding to the princess, 'restore the Zhou system, first restore the king of Yanyun', and then swear with the heroes of the world to chase Mongolia and protect the Han family." β
Cheng Dayuan and Li He immediately understood. Chen Dexing wants the two of them to take the lead in publicly agreeing to ...... In other words, Chen Dexing will negotiate with the feudal towns of the Southern Dynasty and the Han Marquis in the north one by one before formally proposing this "recovering the Zhou system and restoring the king of Yanyun first", and reach an agreement in private. When the time comes, it will be time to make an alliance, take an oath, and proclaim the world!
And after this "wedding alliance", Kublai Khan, the lord of the northern land, is almost done! (To be continued.) )xh118
