Chapter 300: Transformation
The situation at the scene has become orderly, the eunuchs have withdrawn, Jin Wuwei and the soldiers of Zhongyiwei are separated by a distance of nearly 100 steps, staying at the end of the long street, and the troops in all directions, with the time that Jiang Xinghuo has gained, have already blocked the intersection and completed the deployment, and they are no longer afraid of these thousands of students disturbing the city of Nanjing.
Under the increasingly bright swords and guns, the debate process of the national teacher seems to have become smooth.
From this point of view, convincing people with reason and convincing people with strength seems to have achieved the effect that one plus one is greater than two.
Seeing that the crowd-like scene had been effectively controlled, Jiang Xinghuo did not turn his face and used military force to evacuate the students.
Some people may think that it is not good to let the armorers clear the field directly? It's neat, how refreshing, why bother talking to these people? The scene has been effectively controlled, and after the siege is closed, I am not afraid that they will disturb the whole city, what happened to them in the end, and what does it have to do with Jiang Xinghuo? Anyway, they brought it on themselves!
However, the momentary refreshment and the long-term plan must be in conflict.
Changing the law and restoring the law is a matter that risks the world's condemnation, and Jiang Xinghuo will never be ambiguous about things that should be solved by violence, but there are some things that can obviously turn opponents into neutrals/supporters, but he has to use violence to make his enemies more and more, isn't this digging his own grave?
In the world, I have never heard of the enemy fighting more and more, and our side can win fewer and fewer battles, and if you want to defeat the strong with the weak, you must unite all the forces that can be united.
Jiang Xinghuo's voice echoed on Taiping Street, and in the quiet night, there was only the sound of breathing one after another.
"The main contradiction, well understood."
"All contradictions in things have a distinction between primary and secondary, as the saying goes, shooting people first shooting horses and catching thieves and catching kings first, everything, no matter how complicated it seems, has a dominant contradiction, which is called the main contradiction, and the rest is the secondary contradiction."
And Song Li, under the willow tree by the river, also has some new understanding of the national teacher.
As far as the matter of "changing the law" is concerned, what is the main contradiction? Naturally, it is a contradiction between those who want to enrich the people and strengthen the country, and those who have vested interests.
Is the contradiction between the law-changer and the troublemaker the main contradiction or the secondary contradiction?
Of course, some of the students are the children of the gentry, and some are from more diligent/wealthy peasant families, and half of them have stepped into the civil service system, which is not an ordinary person in the strict sense, but this part of the people is by no means impossible to win for, which is a secondary contradiction.
For secondary contradictions, it is necessary to use the solution of secondary contradictions.
These prisoners are not enemies, they are just pawns to be used, they are full of enthusiasm and youthful ambitions, and they have not yet been impregnated by the big dye vat of the civil system, just like Yan Song when he was a teenager.
Sometimes, at the crossroads of fate, it really takes a green light to lead them in the right direction.
Therefore, this is why Jiang Xinghuo faced the accusations of Qianfu, why did he stop them with the golden juice that was insulting to Sven, and why he had to go to great lengths to debate the scriptures.
Just let Zhu Di be angry, and lay down tens of thousands of corpses, how worry-free.
But at this price, the people at the scene have become one of the "corpses".
The enemy of the secondary contradiction will unite with the enemy of the main contradiction, and the odds of winning the change will become extremely low.
At the same time, most of the students also thought this clearly, and began to repent in their hearts.
In the process of the previous debate, it is not that there are no students who are not convinced, they are all young people, who was not vigorous when they were young?
It's just that the army that is slowly pressing up, many people don't dare to come forward without the anger they had at the beginning.
Otherwise, who will debate the scriptures with you calmly, and if you can't argue, you may start the quintessence of the three-character scripture, or "don't listen to it" from the beginning.
To put it bluntly, it's not because behind Jiang Xinghuo, there are countless armor soldiers.
This is also why Jiang Xinghuo thought that he could not use the army when he was in the War Bureau, but when he arrived in the Jinshen Palace, he did not object to Zhu Di's use of the army, only said that he had a way to stop these prisoners.
Because Jiang Xinghuo quickly realized that having a knife in the scabbard is not used, and not having a knife are two effects when talking.
With the backing of force, he can calmly reason with others.
And through the strategy of blocking their momentum many times, from the very beginning, the degree of control of the situation was developing in the direction that Jiang Xinghuo expected.
"What is the main aspect of the contradiction?"
Jiang Xinghuo pointed at Zong Chaoyi, who had just made a mockery of him, and said calmly.
"Actually, the gentleman who asked me just now was born of Yang and righteousness, or a member of the Yin and evil spirit who was born of a villain, that's a good thing."
Most of the people who listened were a little surprised when they heard Jiang Xinghuo take the example of what he had just mocked him about, and they didn't expect Jiang Xinghuo to face this problem so calmly.
"Take what he said just now about "Fisherman Asks the Right Question", in this article, if there is no yin, there will be no yang, and if there is no villain, the gentleman will not be successful, only the prosperity and decline will be in between."
"You see, the gentleman and the villain, are they a pair of contradictions?"
In the other way, Jiang Xinghuo already has a foundation in science, and during this time, he discussed it with the old monk, and the allusions to the famous works of science can be said to be at his fingertips.
Everyone bowed their heads, and Jiang Xinghuo continued.
"Then may I ask, how to distinguish the main aspects of the contradiction between the gentleman and the villain?"
Fan Weixing, who was the first to participate in the debate just now, thought for a moment and replied with his head held high.
""The Fisherman Asks the Right Question" has clouds, six points of yang, and four points of yin; Yin is six points, then Yang is four points; Yang and yin are half, then each five points is due to the rise and fall of the time when the gentleman and the villain are known, and the gentleman is six points when the world is governed, and the gentleman is six points, and the villain is four points, and the villain cannot win the gentleman, and the troubled times are the opposite. ”
Jiang Xinghuo bowed slightly: "This means that there are more gentlemen than villains, that is to rule the world, and there are more villains than gentlemen, that is troubled times. In other words, in the contradiction between the villain and the gentleman, whoever has the upper hand is the main aspect of the contradiction, right? ”
Without waiting for everyone to answer, Jiang Xinghuo asked aloud.
"So Jiang wants to ask today, is there more gentlemen or villains?"
"How is the people's customs and morale compared to the real governance of the world?"
Looking at the silent people, or the stubborn people who insisted on their hearts, Jiang Xinghuo's words struck on everyone's hearts like Huang Zhongdalu.
"You don't dare to answer."
"Why?"
"Jiangnan is rich and the poor have no place to stand!"
"Where can Guangsha avoid the cold?"
But anyone who has a little understanding of the society of the Ming Dynasty at this time knows that what the national teacher said is not wrong.
The Ming Dynasty has only been open for more than 30 years, and all kinds of hidden dangers have been buried everywhere like tumors, and even popping up and spreading more and more.
"Jiang Mou, may I ask, you are all people who have read poetry and books, don't you know what the main aspects of the contradictions in the world are today?"
"Four words."
"-The people are tired and the country is weak!"
When these four words were spoken, the so-called contradictions, the main aspects of the so-called contradictions, suddenly became extremely vivid.
The last fig leaf was also completely removed.
The friendship of Jianwen and Yongle, this era is by no means a peaceful and prosperous era.
The difficulties of people's livelihood and the difficulties of people and land have become more and more intense, and they have come to the prelude to an era destined for great changes.
"Students, Jiang Mou asks you to point to your heart tonight, what are you studying for?"
The inmates looked at each other blankly, but soon, the situation changed.
I don't know who spoke first, and the scattered voices began to gradually become neat as they were repeated over and over again.
This is the ultimate goal of all readers in this era.
In other words, the meaning of life instilled in them by science.
"Set your heart for heaven and earth!"
"Make a life for the people!"
"For the sake of the saints, continue to learn!"
"Peace for all generations!"
Wave after wave of four sentences across the canal, as if it is some kind of spell sweeping the crowd, in this world, it is like there is really a heroic breath, from the chest and abdomen of every student on Taiping Street, spit out along the mouth, condensed into an endless river.
Perhaps many of them have all kinds of thoughts, studying to be officials, to make a fortune, but at this moment, even the most despicable people will be infected by this momentum.
Even the soldiers who had experienced a hundred battles looked at the prisoners who were united in their minds a hundred steps ahead, and they were a little surprised.
On the wall of the palace, the sound of Taiping Street not far away reached the ears of dignitaries and nobles, and it was clearly audible.
"Your Majesty, are they determined to knock?"
Qiu Fu, the old general Qi Guogong, asked Zhu Di beside him.
Zhu Di twisted his brows and shook his head.
"What the hell is going on here?"
It was so far away that even young people with good eyesight could see the figures on Taiping Street, and they could not hear any other sounds except for the four sentences of Hengqu that echoed in the air repeatedly.
Recalling Jiang Xinghuo's extremely strong, even demagogic charm, Zhu Di said uncertainly.
"Maybe they will soon be completely persuaded by the national teacher."
Under the breeze and moon, Jiang Xinghuo clenched his fists and raised his arms vigorously.
"The sky is changing, and the Tao is also changing!"
"Contradictions are eternal, and there is never an eternal law!"
"The people are tired and the country is weak, and this is the main aspect of the contradiction in changing the law."
"Innovation and conservatism are the main contradictions in changing the law."
"Born in this world, just as my generation cheers up, since you and I are all of the same heart, where there is a conflict, it is a secondary contradiction!"
"Today, Jiang asks you to think carefully, can you let go of the secondary contradictions, grasp the main contradictions, in order to strengthen the country and enrich the people, live up to the heart of heaven and earth, establish a life for the people, continue to learn for the saints, and open peace for all generations?"
With that, Jiang Xinghuo put down his raised arm and shook deeply at the thousands of people on Taiping Street.
Jiang Xinghuo's words fell, and the scene fell into a long silence.
