From September to November of this year, a delegation with Li Jinglong as the main envoy was sent to Japan to investigate and prepare to wipe out the intelligence, baggage, and soldiers and horses needed to destroy the Jurchens.

In January next year, Jiang Xinghuo was released from prison.

In February of the next year, Gu Cheng led his troops to wipe out the Jurchens, and then in April and May, Chen soldiers Changbai Mountain, forced North Korea to return Jeju Island, and then set out from Ningbo by sea in June to July to transport troops to Jeju Island, and captured the pirate den of Tsushima Island with a thunderous force.

In this way, it was possible to clamp the northwest corner of Japan like a pair of giant claws.

During the storm period from August to November next year, the Ming Dynasty would not make the same mistake as the Mongols, and honestly trained troops on Jeju Island and Tsushima Island to prepare for a cross-sea landing.

After the completion of the training, the spring of the following year will bloom, and the Daming Naval Division will take the remaining three islands with an absolute advantage, complete Gu Cheng's strategic concept of "islands and lock the country", and then use exploration and trade as an inducement to force the Japanese shogun to cede or lend Japan's 'China' region.

If the shogun does not agree, then Zhu Di will not be merciful.

After all, Gu Cheng's concerns are only one possibility, as long as he can avoid the storm period in the waters around Japan as Jiang Xinghuo said, Zhu Di believes that his elite will definitely be able to sweep Japan!

At that time, I couldn't say anything, so I could only grieve the Japanese general Zhengyi to come to Nanjing to perform a prisoner sacrifice parade.

As long as he got Japan's gold and silver mountains, Zhu Di planned to let Jiang Xinghuo lead the Ming Dynasty's 'Silver Treasure Bank' plan.

As for Jiang Xinghuo's own wishes, who are bent on lying down and dying.

Well.

That will only have to be said then.

On the other side, the conversation continues.

"As you said, my hero, his enemy, the biggest reason why Yue Wang Ye can also build a temple in Liaodong is probably not that he subdued the Jurchens hundreds of years ago, which is untenable, but that Emperor Taizu Gao of the Ming Dynasty posthumously crowned Yue Wang Ye as a martial saint, so there is this phenomenon."

Jiang Xinghuo imagined: "Then let's assume, just assume, if there is another alien race similar to the Mongols in the future and dominates China, do you think that for this alien race, Yue Wangye is a national hero?" ”

As soon as this question came out, Jiang Xinghuo didn't need to speak at all, and the two of them discussed it on their own.

Zhu Gaoxu said straightforwardly: "Prince Yue is our Han people, and there will be a foreign race ruling China in the future, since it is not a nation, for them, Prince Yue is definitely not their national hero." ”

Li Jinglong asked, "Then they rule Huaxia, and at that time, how will Prince Yue be treated?" ”

"Think about it."

Li Jinglong has been so happy and sad that he has been mentally disturbed recently, and he has lost his mind, and he even dares to ridicule him.

"At that time, will Yue Fei be slandered as a sinner who opposes the integration of Huayi? Could it be that Qin Hui is praised as the prime minister who is painstaking and lonely and not understood by the world? Will you make up a play for Qin Hui, sign "Man Jianghong" with Qin Hui's name, and let Qin Xianggong recite it in public? ”

"Who dares to do that?!" Zhu Gaoxu said angrily, "Lord Yue is a great hero and hero that I have respected all my life, how can he be slandered and teased like this?" I'm sure to screw its head! ”

Li Jinglongfu smiled again: "At that time, you died a long time ago, can you still climb out of the coffin?" ”

Zhu Gaoxu was so angry that he threw away the leaves of the newly crooked neck tree with one punch.

One after another, like catkins flying, and like falling snow.

Jiang Xinghuo silently patted the yellow leaf on his head.

He can't deny this speculation, although Jiang Xinghuo has not seen the film and television works related to Qin Hui's obscure reversal of the case at the point in time, but in fact, he knows that what Li Jinglong said will definitely appear in the future.

When the wrong culture spreads to the extreme, it has already formed a deformed, even a pathological distorted concept.

Just like the robber states of later generations, they will always use one kind or another to flaunt themselves.

At the same time, it will also use various ways to discredit and distort the heroes of China.

Within the cultural sphere, such ideas have begun to spread and penetrate into the marrow of some people.

As long as one person takes the lead in speaking out, there will be countless soft bones who have received money to echo the voice, trying to reverse black and white and refer to the deer as a horse.

And the contradictions and controversies caused by such differences are difficult to solve thoroughly, no matter what era it is.

In the Jin Dynasty and the Yuan Dynasty, didn't there be many literati who smeared Yue Fei's exploits and historical significance?

Therefore, Jiang Xinghuo has no way to deny Li Jinglong's speculations, after all, these things are not groundless, but have long been traced.

At the same time, Gu Cheng, who was next door, also suddenly said to Zhu Di.

"Your Majesty, when you greeted the old minister at the post station on the outskirts of Nanjing, at that time, the old minister was on the second floor of the post station and read a poem, do you remember?"

Zhu Di just said: "I only listened to the second half of the que, 'The dragon and tiger are scattered, and the wind and clouds are destroyed; Hatred for eternity, who said, 'I think it's well written.'" ”

Gu Cheng said in a deep voice.

"Your Majesty, this word, the name of the word plate is "

"- "Man Jianghong"!"

Zhu Di was surprised in an instant, there was such an echo, there is no more coincidence in the world than this.

"This poem is that after the Yuan army invaded Lin'an, when the captives of 3,000 palace people returned to the north, when Zhaoyi Wang Qinghui passed through the Bianliang Yishan Post Station, the capital of the Northern Song Dynasty, he remembered the shame of Jingkang, and remembered the magnificent "Manjianghong" of Yue Wangye, which evoked the deep pain of losing the country, so on the wall of the post station, with blood as ink, he re-inscribed a "Manjianghong".

"Too liquid hibiscus, not the same, the color of the old times. I remembered, the spring breeze and rain dew, the jade building Jinque. After the famous Lan Xin concubine, the side of the king with a faint tide lotus face. Suddenly, the drum opened the sky, and the prosperity rested.

The dragon and tiger are scattered, and the wind and clouds are extinguished. Hate through the ages, who can say. To the mountains and rivers one hundred and two, tears and blood. The inn is a night terror and a dusty dream, and the palace car is running through the mountains and moons. Ask Chang'e, am I willing to be calm, and the same circle is lacking? ”

After singing the song "Man Jianghong", Gu Cheng's tears were wet and his hair was white, as if he was a little unbearable.

"The old minister's father and ancestor to operate the boat as a business, hard work for many years with savings, with the whole family settled in Yangzhou, Yangzhou was prosperous at that time, the old minister was able to afford to read when he was young, and lived quite a stable life, and also set a wishful family business. Later, at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, the old minister traveled abroad, and when he went home, he only saw Huma whistling, and the whole Yangzhou city was really as Baishi Dao people said, "Qingjiao blows cold, all in the empty city". ”

"When the old minister found her house, it had already been burned down, and in the end, he only saw half of "Man Jianghong" scattered on the table."

Zhu Di and others were also silenced.

No one thought that the old general would still have this past when he was a teenager, and Zhu Di thought that when Gu Cheng was on the second floor of the post station, he looked north in the direction of Yangzhou, Jiangbei, and recited this poem with affection, and he instantly had a different mood.

"Since then, the old minister has defected to Emperor Taizu Gao, and he will have the will to die and have no life in every battle, which is the reason for this knot."

"Hu Lu is not extinguished, and the old minister has no way to comfort the souls of his relatives in the sky."

But when the old minister heard Jiang Xinghuo's question today, he thought that maybe hundreds of years later, the old minister would be distorted and smeared like Lord Yue if he worked hard all his life, and the old minister was unwilling! If you are a ghost, you are not reconciled! ”

Gu Cheng, an old general with white hair, looked at Zhu Di almost with some kind of pleading eyes.

"Your Majesty, can't you do it?"

"Mr. Jiang, can't you help it?"

Zhu Gaoxu asked dejectedly.

"There's a way." Jiang Xinghuo said: "But I have to tell Ling first why Yue Fei is a national hero." ”

The eyes of the two were a little surprised, Yue Fei is a national hero, is there any reason for this?

Seeing the surprise of the two, Jiang Xinghuo said slowly but firmly.

"The reason why Yue Fei is a national hero is because what Yue Fei represents is by no means himself, but the thousands of Han people who were unwilling to be enslaved and humiliated by the Jurchen invaders at the turn of the Song Dynasty and the Song Dynasty."

"Yue Fei's anti-Jin Northern Expedition is not his anti-Jin Northern Expedition alone."

"Ten years of work was ruined in one fell swoop, and it was not Yue Fei's work that was ruined."

"Do you know that Yue Fei has been connected with Heshuo for ten years, and behind this, how many efforts, sacrifices, and dedication of the Han people of the two rivers are there? It is precisely because of their perseverance in resisting in the predicament that after Yue Fei swore to the Northern Expedition, the Central Plains revolted everywhere to respond to the trend of rebellion. ”

"After Yan Gou and Qin Hui, if you are hateful, you can be hated and surrender!"

"As soon as Yue Fei died, the spirit of the Han people in the north was broken, which means that even if it is the trend of the times and the will of the people, even if there is the strongest commander in the world, the most disciplined, the highest morale, and the most powerful army, it is still impossible to recover Heshuo and smash Huanglong."

"In the future, Prince Yue's Northern Expedition was a failure, and the Jurchens entered the Central Plains, in just a hundred years, the Northland Mo said that the sixteen states of Youyun, that is, the Han people in Lianghe, Shandong, and Henan, all recognized the Jin Kingdom as Zhengshuo, would they think that Yue Wangye was a national hero?"

Zhu Gaoxu didn't want to admit it, but had to admit: "No." ”

Seeing that Zhu Gaoxu was depressed and angry and about to explode, Li Jinglong was afraid that he would pull out the crooked neck tree again, so he hurriedly dissuaded.

Liu Bowen said that since ancient times, Yidi has not been able to control China, and the Yuan Yihu people have entered China, and the customs of a hundred years of fishy customs are really disgusting. Barbarians are barbarians after all, and the Jurchens, like the Mongols, have enjoyed the country for a short time, but only temporarily changed. ”

Jiang Xinghuo retorted with a straight face: "It's not a matter of a long time, this kind of thing involving major rights and wrongs can't be changed for a year, a month, a day, an hour, a moment, or a breath!" ”

"Lord Yue is a national hero, no one can change it, no one can change it!"

Zhu Gaoxu struck the knot with his hand and said in a muffled voice: "Just like the ancestor who crossed the river and the Northern Expedition, the middle stream attacked and said that the ancestor could not clear the Central Plains and recover the economy, just like the great river!" ”

Jiang Xinghuo stood up solemnly and said directly.

"The reason why this absurdity occurs to the extreme, the Han people living in the Jin country all think that Yue Wangye is not a national hero, is because, from ancient times to the present, the concept of 'nation-state' has not appeared in China, and it has always been just a private plan."

"And since it is a private plan, since the right to speak to spread ideas to the people is in the hands of the landlords who cultivate and read the heirlooms, then who gives these landlords greater benefits, or when the principle cannot withstand the interests and threats of foreign races, it naturally does not matter, and the people will be indoctrinated with wrong ideas."

"If we do not occupy this position if we do not occupy it if we are right, we will occupy it if we are wrong, and we must not give it up to others."

Jiang Xinghuo recalled that when he was in his sixth life, the one who once wrote "Draw a knife into a fast boy and live up to the head of a young man" was preaching his theory of "saving the country by curve" on the radio station, and couldn't help but feel deeply that he should really do something.

A scholar, there is only a pen and a mouth.

The eight journeys have made Jiang Xinghuo understand that if he wants to change the trajectory of history with his personal strength, the possibility is not very small, but it can also be said to be about impossible.

But

But

After he gets out of prison, he has to do something, right?

Do you want to be cheeky and rely on a beard to help, and the main task every day is to sleep like in prison?

Or do you want to go to the Qinhuai River to sell words to live, and the main task every day becomes to sleep with good girls?

It's too rotten, it's too depraved.

The most important thing is that Jiang Xinghuo has really slept enough.

So, is there any good way to find something to do for yourself while lying flat, try to make some changes, and not deliberately seek death but be killed by action?

Absolutely!

Just open the spray.

What feudal bad habits, what Huayi debate, what Cheng Zhu Lixue.

It doesn't matter how many pens you have, I'll refute it with one pen.

In this way, not only Jiang Xinghuo achieved his goal, but also gave himself the past to cross, and the breath of injustice accumulated in his heart was directly expressed.

It's hard to settle.

Why do you insects point out from above, and use your rules to do dirty things on the surface?

Why can you say that the oppression of the people is a farming heirloom?

Why should the people suffer when they encounter something?

Why should national heroes be discredited?

The more you argue, the clearer it becomes.

In a few months, I will let you know what is called bookish anger and what is called scolding Fang Xuan.

As for the vindicators who are anxious about themselves and want to play something real, it will be even better.

Better kill me, let me hurry up and get home, please.

Just when Jiang Xinghuo's thoughts were rare, Li Jinglong, who was beside him, said at this time: "This is Huayi's discrimination." ”

The distinction of Huayi, or the distinction of Yixia, is used to distinguish between China and barbarians. In ancient times, the Chinese ethnic group lived in the Central Plains and was the center of civilization, while the surrounding areas were relatively backward. In the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, the princes were hegemonic, and Confucius proposed to respect the king and carry forward the cultural righteousness in the Spring and Autumn Period. If the state of Chu claims to be a barbarian, and then civilization advances, and the princes of the Central Plains will ally with it, they will no longer regard it as a barbarian; And Zheng Guo was originally a Zhuxia, and if his behavior was not in accordance with righteousness, he was also regarded as Yidi.

In other words, in the Spring and Autumn Period, the division between barbarians and Huaxia was based on etiquette.

This is because of the Chinese emphasis on clothing and etiquette, "Spring and Autumn Left Transmission of Justice, Dinggong Ten Years" said: China has great etiquette, so it is called Xia; There is the beauty of uniforms, which is called Hua.

"The Mongols are Yidi." Zhu Gaoxu did not hesitate to say it as respect.

Li Jinglong said: "Yidi's definition should be the most accurate in the Han book, that is, Yidi's cloak is spread to the left, and they are all people with human faces and beast hearts, and the customs and food language of the Chinese chapter and clothing classics are different. ”

Jiang Xinghuo saw that the two of them basically understood what it meant, and he felt that things were a lot easier.

In fact, there are roughly three standards for the measurement of Huayi in Chinese history, namely, blood measurement, geographical measurement standard, clothing, etiquette and other cultural measurement standards.

The main criterion for distinguishing between Huayi in the pre-Qin period is the presence or absence of Chinese etiquette, and the main criterion for distinguishing Huayi after the Han and Jin dynasties is based on the distance and geography of blood.

This is because after the Han and Jin dynasties, when China faced a serious threat, this division could protect the survival of the Chinese ethnic group.

In Jiang Xinghuo's previous life, there were still many scholars who were influenced by modern Western ethnic theories and believed that there was no nationalism in ancient China, but in fact, the most prominent expression of the ancient people's nation-state consciousness was the distinction between Huayi, which had a profound nationalist color.

When the Chinese regime in the Central Plains was unstable and the barbarians invaded, the call for the distinction of Huayi would rise, and the distinction of Huayi became a powerful ideological weapon used by the Han regime to resist foreign regimes. Of course, the distinction between Huayi in the troubled times is just like the reverence of kings in the Spring and Autumn Period, and it is not the work of great nationalism, nor is it discrimination against different races.

From a deeper point of view, the concept of Huayi's distinction contributes to a kind of dignified and persistent national cohesion and centripetal force, which is condensed into a powerful spiritual force that stubbornly resists the conquest of foreign races.

"Huayi's argument, the hidden meaning here is, what is considered Huaxia, if Yidi enters Huaxia, then as long as they follow Huaxia's etiquette system, is it Huaxia?" Jiang Xinghuo asked.

As a soldier with simple patriotic fervor, Zhu Gaoxu naturally did not want to admit it.

Otherwise, what is the point of their fight against the Mongols, is it to overthrow China?

Jiang Xinghuo raised more difficult questions of speculation.

"Or, take a counterexample of the Guiyi Army in the Tang Dynasty, when the Huaxia Dynasty was invaded, the Han generals who were alone on the frontier led a small group of Han people and a large part of the local barbarians to resist the invasion of other foreign races, so whose national hero was he?"

"Let's take another example just mentioned, when the Jin Kingdom entered the Central Plains, and the Mongols invaded the Jin Kingdom, the Han people fought against the Mongols in order to maintain the orthodoxy in their hearts, so who is he a national hero?"

It was probably because the two of them were not messed up enough, Jiang Xinghuo continued to ask.

"I just talked about the Han people, if this person himself is a Sinicized alien race, and he can't even speak a foreign language, and he takes the Han and the alien race to resist the invasion of other alien races, then whose national hero is he?"

The three questions have already been when Zhu Gaoxu's brain is down.

But Zhu Gaoxu thought of another question at this time.

"Emperor Gao, the Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, recognized the Yuan Dynasty as Zhengshuo."

"That's just to show that Da Ming is Zhengshuo." Li Jinglong retorted: "Emperor Taizu Gao also said that when Hu Yuan entered China, he was ruined, polluted China, the school was abandoned, and the discipline was ruined. ”

See, some people are dead, even if they are lying in coffins, but their influence is still everywhere.

Zhu Gaoxu's brain was completely overloaded.

"Mr. Jiang, tell me directly, how to solve this problem. It can't really be that thousands of years later, Prince Yue has become some kind of bullshit sinner who hinders integration, right? ”

"The solution to this problem is to set a standard."

Jiang Xinghuo said slowly: "This standard is called a nation-state. ”
