Chapter 208: Upward Spreading Confrontation (10)
In early November 330, the Knights Templar suffered an unforgettable defeat. Of the more than 13,000 employees of the Order and its employees who set out from France, only three barely escaped alive, and the rest were wiped out. This defeat inflicted heavy losses on the Order.
Among the other forces involved in the war, the fleet of the Eastern European Division of the Great Song Dynasty found the battle boring. Probably the only highlight of the crushing battle was that the fleet had set up a small trap for the Knights Templar fleet to assemble in the harbor. Kill them from behind when they land, and successfully complete the situation of closing the door and beating the dogs. Such a battle allowed the Mongol troops on the shore to capture a lot of prisoners, increasing the war gains a little.
At the time of the battle, the Egyptian Canal was quietly opened. The Great Song boats, laden with olive oil, laurel oil, and bitter salt soil, passed through the canal and headed for the port of Mumbai in the Great Song Dynasty. Although the Great Song Dynasty in Hangzhou did not know the specific situation, one of the basic conditions for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to discuss the future of Europa was the passage of the Egyptian Canal on time.
"Will the officials send troops to seize the canal?"
"What do you think?"
"I don't think so."
"Some people who think the official family will send troops raise their hands."
No one raised their hand. Everyone in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs felt that the Zhao family would not make such a radical choice in the current internal turmoil.
"Those landlords know that they are stubborn." Someone muttered.
After saying this, the expressions of about thirty percent of the guys in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs fluctuated, they were born landlords, and now they dare not risk losing their official positions and must choose to oppose it, but their own family members have been evaluated like this, and they cannot agree loudly.
"Sinhala hasn't been pacified yet?" Someone found a topic to avoid awkwardness.
"Now Sinhala is under the control of the domain." Someone immediately replied regretfully. The Great Song Dynasty organized its own native soldiers in the major families of Sinhala, and with the addition of the Three Buddhas, Sinhala has been officially placed under the management of the Li Domain.
"It won't be long before there will be no matter left in our Ministry of Foreign Affairs."
"It's not all like that. If you get an inch, you will be the king's inch, and if you get a ruler, you will also be the king's ruler. Although the Zhao official family emphasizes benevolence, righteousness and etiquette, it is not Song Xianggong. ”
"What is the housekeeper going to do with Europa? Looking at it now, it's just a matter of making a few forces bigger. ”
"There's a choice when you get bigger." A young voice came from the door, and Luo Yiren entered the house from outside the door. With the vigor of the young man's ambition, Luo Yiren, the acting minister of the Ministry of Justice, said happily: "Hao Ren and Boyan are the two weakest of the forces. And if they can rise, they will disrupt the situation. ”
"Disrupting the situation can also become Gu cultivation." Foreign Minister Lu Baifeng asked. The Gu raising he mentioned at this time in the Great Song Dynasty generally believed that it was to put all kinds of poisonous insects together and let them kill each other, and the last remaining poisonous insect was strong in itself, and it devoured the poison of other poisonous insects, and it would become extremely powerful.
Luo Yiren pulled a chair and sat down, "Gu worms will grow up, so if the Great Song Dynasty is stumped, will he remain motionless and let other countries chase after him." The vitality of a country lies in progress and development. If the Great Song Dynasty continues to make progress by itself, all the forces will be just passers-by named Wang Qianqian in front of my Huaxia. Sinhala is not proof of this. ”
"Minister Luo, there is a saying recently. The imperial court will exchange the land outside the country for the land at home. A Foreign Ministry official asked hopefully.
"Haven't heard of it. I've only heard that getting something for nothing is judged as a moral negative. Zhao's family wants to redefine good and evil in the world. Luo Yiren replied cheerfully.
Hearing this, the faces of most of the landlords' children became even more ugly. Luo Yiren did not play on his own, but the upper echelons of the Great Song Society had already set the tone, and the life of a large landlord with thousands of acres of land was no longer a model that the official considered worthy of appreciation. The latest model is 'where a happy life comes from, it must be created by labor'. This sentence was also compiled into a children's song and became a compulsory song in school.
Lu Baifeng looked at everyone's appearance, and in order to ease the atmosphere, he smiled and said: "Everyone, I have read everyone's resumes, and most of them work in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and earn more than local owners in the countryside. ”
Luo Yiren followed up and said: "I have the task of political propaganda, so naturally I have to say something out loud that is not welcome. Completing the task is the task, I think what I said above is right. A few of you can really stand the days of no running water, no flushing toilets, no boiler rooms, and not so many shops. And most importantly, who of you would let your children stay in the countryside and not go to school. I don't know others, I can accept walking in the countryside, but I can't accept living in the country. ”
As Luo Yiren said, the children of the landlord felt that his words were harsh. Harsh to harsh, the urban population with a government errand has to admit that Luo Yiren said what was in everyone's hearts. These people have chosen city life, are accustomed to city life, and returning to the countryside is no longer a choice they willingly choose.
After Luo Yiren came to do this, he got up and left. Lu Baifeng went out with him, and the people in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs felt that the two were going to talk about business, and no one dared to follow them. The courtyard of the former Ministry of Rites is divided into two, and there is no door on the courtyard wall in the middle. Lu Baifeng sent Luo Yiren out of the door, and the two walked slowly along the wall.
Hangzhou paid great attention to urban greening and landscape when it was built, and there is a small garden next to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which is only open to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Governors. The two ministers went to have a few words. Inside, Luo Yiren thanked Lu Baifeng: "Brother Lu, thank you." Let me finish this propaganda. When are you going to speak to us, let me know in advance. ”
"It's all work. However, the official family made up their minds, which was a little surprising. ”
Luo Yiren smiled: "Don't be surprised. I can't remember which meeting or class I heard about it, and people of the same class are particularly cruel to their own class. It's easier to open up to other classes. ”
Lu Baifeng was stunned after hearing this. These days, he is also thinking about the landlords, and no matter how he thinks about it, he doesn't feel right. Luo Yiren's words made him feel like he was empowered in an instant. Although he couldn't say the truth yet, these words were like a hammer in Lu Baifeng's heart, and he had to be moved.
Looking up at Lu Baifeng's expression, Luo Yiren hurriedly explained: "Listening to the style, this must have been said by the official first." ”
"Hmm." Lu Baifeng nodded repeatedly. Zhao Guanjia often uses this style of one-knife speech to say something, and some people try to learn this style, but their words only make people feel bitter and mean, but they do not have the kind of incisiveness that makes people suddenly enlightened.
Luo Yiren said with emotion: "The landlord is about to be removed from the ranks of the Great Song Dynasty to rule the world." The dispute between the new party and the old party has finally been settled. ”
"Xiao Luo, you feel this emotion." Lu Baifeng was a little overwhelmed.
"My ancestors have been members of the Yuanfeng Party." Luo Yiren replied.
Lu Baifeng was stunned, he thought for a while, and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "My ancestor has been on the Yuanyou Party Monument. ”
So Luo Yiren, the acting minister of the Ministry of Justice, and Lu Baifeng, the minister of foreign affairs, stared at each other for a while, and suddenly smiled bitterly together, and then laughed.
"Come on, shake hands." Luo Yiren said with a smile.
Lu Baifeng stretched out his hand, and the hands of the sons and daughters of the new party and the old party who fought to the death two hundred years ago were clasped together.
In the eighth year of Yuanfeng of the Northern Song Dynasty (1085), Song Shenzong died, and Zhezong, who was only nine years old, succeeded to the throne, and the Empress Dowager Xuanren handled military and state affairs at the same time, and Sima Guang served as the prime minister in the same year, completely abolishing Wang Anshi's reform and restoring the old system. It lasted nine years. At this point, the new party, a political faction that supported the reform, was called the 'Yuanfeng party' by the contemporaries, and the old party that opposed the reform was called the 'Yuanyu party'.
When the old party was in power, in order to punish the old party for being suppressed by the new party for a while, Sima Guang and others asked the Empress Dowager Yuan Fu to establish the 'Yuanfeng party membership', reprimanded the new party, and planted the root of the curse.
In the first year of Shaosheng, Zhang Dian was the prime minister, restored the system of Xifeng, denounced Sima Guang as a traitorous party, and degraded the old party from the dynasty. In the first year of Huizong Chongning, Cai Jing was the prime minister, and he did his best to restore the law of Shaosheng, and returned his body to his way to imitate the story of the old party of Yuan You, erected a monument in Duanli Gate, and wrote Sima Guang and other three hundred and nine people's crimes, and then destroyed the monument due to star changes. Later, the descendants of the old party members were even more proud of the ancestors of this monument, and re-engraved it. And the descendants of the New Party are also proud of their ancestors being among the members of the Yuanfeng Party.
The struggle between the new party and the old party finally ended with the Jin State moving south, and Huizong and Qinzong surrendering. It is generally believed that it was the vicious struggle between the new party and the old party that led to the shame of Jingkang, and the vicious struggle between the two parties was nailed to the pillar of shame. The new party and the old party have disappeared, and the children and grandchildren of the two parties have fled south, and two hundred years have passed in the blink of an eye. At this time, although Lu Baifeng did not regard himself as the old party, he was still a little worried in his heart. After he shook hands with Luo Yiren, he couldn't help but ask, "Can you really close the coffin?" ”
The society said that the old party represented the interests of the landlord class. The struggle never ended. Jia Rudao carried out the reform of public land, but he did not play the banner of the new party and the old party, and in fact, the struggle was no different from that of the past. Once the landlord class was eradicated, the disputes of those years would of course be settled. ”
"Landlord...... Where would it be so easy to be eradicated. "Lu Baifeng is already over 30 years old, and in a few years he will reach the age of 40 when the 'loess buries his chest'. He wasn't optimistic at all.
"It's man-made." Luo Yiren, who is in his twenties, is full of the spirit of a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers.
Lu Baifeng's family belonged to the middle landlord, and looking at Luo Yiren's appearance, he felt in his heart. Luo Yiren, like many young people from the city, had never come into contact with a landlord. They just go to school, they work. They listen to what schools and societies say. These people will meet and deal with landlords, but their lives will not intersect with landlords at all.
In Luo Yiren's eyes, the landlord is just a symbol, a noun, someone who has seen or heard of it, or a class that the society talks about. No matter how they define landlords, Luo Yiren and others never think that landlords are actually a way of life.
