Chapter 1025

"...you will be able to coerce the people and retaliate against the gentry. At that time, what seems to be a tendency of interests that have been accumulated for 200 years will become a trivial problem... This is the only thing you have a chance of winning today It's possible..."

At the Jianmen Pass at the end of May, Ning Yi's voice resounded on the mountainside under the sun, and Zuo Xiuquan looked serious with mixed feelings.

Among the forces of the Huaxia Army at this time, the Zuo family had a special status, which was why Zuo Xiuquan was able to ask some slightly out-of-the-ordinary questions here.Of course, for their level, as long as they express their attitude clearly and do not engage in substantive cross-border in private, these discussions can be regarded as a gentleman's debate.In his previous words, he was actually a little aggressive and aggressive, but what he didn't expect was that this discussion would come to this point, and even for a while, he regretted it a little.

Ning Yi in front of him actually pointed out a path and threw out a framework, so he didn't accept it, and it didn't matter if he didn't accept it.As wise as he is, he can naturally vaguely see some things that can be extended from this framework. If you consider the immediate crisis of Fuzhou Chaotang, this direction does indeed provide a possibility of breaking the situation. The problem is, after breaking the game, the future they face may become something more terrifying and dangerous.

People's livelihood, civil rights, people's wisdom... This is what he did in the southwest, and it's just a small part...

I really shouldn't be playing tricks, asking...or listening...

He sighed in his heart, and after a moment of silence, he smiled and said, "Mr. Ning is easy to calculate. If Fuzhou really promotes these things and fails in the future, it will be a dowry for Mr. Ning."

"If it fails, it will be like this." Ning Yi smiled frankly and did not hide it, "But if it succeeds, maybe we can find a way out."

Zuo Xiuquan thought for a while: "...the so-called treatment of the emperor's identity and explanation refers to..."

"One of the biggest obstacles to the promotion of human rights and equality is that the status of the emperor is definitely different from that of ordinary people. The only way to avoid it is to do two things well. First, within a certain period of time, the interests of the emperor must be in line with those of ordinary people. The interests of the people are highly unified, just like today, Junwu told everyone, you lend me your strength, we will fight those big clans that disperse the power of the country, and after concentrating our strength, we will defeat the Jurchen invaders. Within a short period of time, the imperial power will win the greatest favor and gain its legitimacy and sanctity..."

Ning Yi said that the two walked slowly in the mountains: "But such legitimacy and sanctity will not last long, because once the external pressure is relieved, the emperor and the royal family will inevitably become the largest interest class, and everyone will gradually realize Seeing the unfairness above. Then you can start to try the second thing, let the imperial power retreat and keep it sacred, let the bureaucracy become a firewall facing the people, and the emperor should not directly participate in the competition for interests..."

"How hard can the people deal with it?" Ning Yi tilted his head and smiled, "In the foreseeable hundreds of years, even if human rights are awakened, they will never get [-]% fairness, unless it is true that the world is unified, and people They are all Yao and Shun, everyone has exactly the same responsibility to resist, then everyone can get the same benefits, but this is impossible, as long as there is a gap in IQ and ability, the privileged class will always take the big head, and the people who take the small head only need to With food and drink, they wouldn't mind having a sanctified emperor symbol in their country."

When he said this, he paused with a smile: "—Of course, unless it is a decades-to-hundred-year ideological emancipation that confirms the ugliness of the emperor, it is possible to achieve another consensus. But not now, there is The existence of the emperor has been inevitable for thousands of years. If today's emperor can hand over power to a relatively reliable bureaucratic system, and he no longer wants to weigh himself, he will be respected by everyone, and everyone will not mind supporting and respecting such a The royal family, in this way, can complete the process of sanctifying the monarchy - this game method, we can call it, constitutional monarchy."

Zuo Xiuquan tilted his head: "That is to say, we will first centralize power today, and wait until the Jurchen is defeated, and then rule by the false king."

"Either without my idea, the little emperor can directly kill a way, then I didn't say it." Ning Yi stated calmly, "If this method is used, it should be easy to defeat the scholar-officials and foreign enemies. It is possible. But if after completing the initial public enlightenment, the emperor still stays at the pinnacle of power to show that he is different from others, sooner or later he will be dragged out and beheaded, and Xu Jun will be the only one who will be himself at that time. safe way."

Speaking of this, he smiled again: "Create a bureaucratic layer and watch the fire from the other side. If something happens in the future, it will be messed up. It's none of the emperor's business. The emperor is so wronged. He is obviously the emperor, and the country belongs to them, but for the sake of the people. , he took the initiative to retreat, unable to govern, and endured humiliation for generations, you say, who would blame him?"

"Then the person in power at that time is..."

"Prime Minister, Chief Assistant...you can do anything, change him every few years, he is not an emperor, he doesn't have to be an emperor for a lifetime, first set the rules, and then he will retire."

"If you have the right to conspire against you..."

"The basic enlightenment of the people has been opened, which shows that education has become a system. The emperor's difficulties and greatness, as well as the necessity of this system, have been written into the textbooks for every child. As long as there is no extreme Under the circumstances, this system can last for a long time..."

The two walked forward slowly, Zuo Xiuquan asked questions from time to time, and Ning Yi immediately answered them.After going on like this for a while, the expression on Zuo Xiuquan's face became more and more weird.

If it is said that his initial question could only be regarded as a little bit of careful thinking, and he wanted to set up some fragmented opinions on Ning Yi's side, Ning Yi's answer really made him feel complicated and unspeakable. But at that time, he still felt that those words were the casual counterattack of the demon. Who would have thought that at this time, he had fully deduced the entire framework, and if he said that the things he threw were like The demon's deceptive words, at this moment, actually make people feel a little bitter.

Especially after arriving, I only heard Ning Yi say: "... Regarding some ideas and difficulties of constitutional monarchy, there have been many deduction in the Huaxia Army in recent years. This time I will ask someone to move you to Chengdu."

Zuo Xiuquan hesitated for a while, and finally said: "Mr. Ning... Could it be that he really wants Wu Chao to find a way?"

"It's easier said than done. With me and a bunch of kids deducing it for a few years, is it really possible to get things done?"

"But... Mr. Ruoning really told you sincerely, at least... there is a possibility."

Zuo Xiuquan frowned and arched his hands. What he couldn't be sure of in his words was "Mr. Ning is really so open-minded?" But after all, he didn't ask, Ning Yi looked at him and smiled.

"Many people in this world now know that the purpose of my Huaxia Army is to destroy Confucianism, to open up the wisdom of the people, and to achieve equality and awakening... From the core point of view, the little emperor of Fuzhou now wants to fight against the king and the barbarians. Governing the world together is a change in bottom-level thinking." Ning Yi pointed his hand next to his head, "Mr. Zuo can imagine how difficult it will be, but in the Huaxia Army, we have to try to use the thinking of physical science to fight against the past. Metaphysical thinking, how difficult it is to use the order of thinking that puts reason first against the way of thinking of reason and law, and to use human rights and equality to fight against the Confucian class concept of monarch, minister, father, son, and son? Can Mr. Zuo think of it?"

Ning Yi smiled, his eyes were calm, and his eyes were as vast and cold as snow mountains and seas.

"With regard to the opening up of people's wisdom and the enlightenment of civil rights, we have considered many situations and methods in the deduction. Among them, there are openings without emperors, openings with emperors, openings in peacetimes and wartimes. , these deduction and ideas may not be useful, but Mr. Zuo, as long as you are interested, I will never hide it, because the deduction is just a fantasy. If an experiment that can open up the wisdom of the people can appear in Fuzhou to the greatest extent, even if it is in the monarchy mode We can get the most experience as well.”

"The thinking foundation of our place and this society is metaphysics. The characteristics of metaphysics are from the whole to the part, and emotion is higher than reason. For example, the heaven and earth are mysterious and yellow, the universe is prehistoric, and Wuji produces two forms and two forms produce four phenomena. The truth is passed down from generation to generation, and everyone thinks it is the truth, but where is its starting point, who observed it, and who can strictly prove it? Everyone is used to accepting some truths that sound right, but why are they right? In fact, we used to The thinking of gephysics is not imaginative...and the thinking of Gephysics has to be reversed, completely reversed."

"The thinking of Gewuxue should start from the part to the whole. We first figure out what is clear at hand. Assuming there are any laws and principles in it, we must strictly deduce it. He Deng, we make iron plates and want to get a flat surface. What is a flat surface? For ordinary people, it is just like a table that looks flat. During the friction process, it becomes more and more slippery, and finally each of them tends to the most accurate plane, which can be proved by mathematics and geometry, this is the most primitive and most accurate plane..."

"To go from metaphysics to investigation of things, what needs to be changed is the bottom-level way of thinking—not even a certain way of thinking, not patting the head and saying, oh, this truth seems right, this sentence seems very philosophical, and you can think it That's right. Mr. Zuo, this is what the Chinese army wants to fight against. Today, Jinren Dazaoyuan is learning to study things, and Fuzhou is learning to study things. I encourage them to learn to study things. If they don't study, I will use cannonballs to fight Blow his head off. In this way, maybe tens of hundreds of years, we can truly understand the way of thinking of Gephysics and materialism.”

When Ning Yi said this, Zuo Xiuquan frowned and said, "But why... the thinking of Gephysics is higher than metaphysics?"

Ning Yi shook his head: "It's not higher than metaphysics. From some books passed down from the west, I found that their thinking is from the part to the whole - that is the extreme west, which may be thousands of miles away. The end of the Silk Road back then I used this kind of thinking to make various assumptions, and the hot air balloons, telescopes, cannons, rockets you see today appeared... Metaphysical thinking up to now can only be used as some big and useless philosophical thinking. The idea of ​​enlightening the world has come to the present, and he has chosen to castrate human nature. Confucius said that repaying grievances with straightness, and now everyone knows that they are repaying grievances with virtue. Why, the way of governing people will not change in another 1000 years. .”

"From the part-to-whole thinking form, there are countless possibilities. What you see today is just the beginning. Our innovation in papermaking has at least given hope to educate the people--then it is time to thoroughly understand this set of thinking. , Wait until this set of thinking is also eaten up, and then combined with the philosophy and humanities under the metaphysics system, maybe we can really see the great harmony of the world one day.”

He waved.

"It is difficult for me to explain the necessity and urgency of it, but I have seen it, and I am going to push it out. I can spread the ideas of Gewuxue all over the sky, and the idea of ​​equality in the Chinese army was born. Lao Niutou He Wen from the south of the Yangtze River learned how to fight against landlords to divide the land. Now that he has established a fair party, whether it is Lin'an, Liu Guangshi, Dai Mengwei, or Jindi, he will choose more or less reforms. These reforms Your attempt will become the nourishment of the whole world."

"The next success may not be our Huaxia Army. The old bull head may go bankrupt. The Fair Party may become a big fire and burn out. The Huaxia Army may be really strong and easy to break. One day I die, and all kinds of ideas are shattered like lights. , but I believe that the seeds have already been left. If my idea cannot be successful, I am happy to see Junwu of Fuzhou follow the path of a constitutional monarchy, because that will also open up the wisdom of the people to a certain extent. I wish him success, hope He succeeded."

After Ning Yi's words came to this point, the expression on Zuo Xiuquan's face was finally no longer complicated. He looked solemn and bowed to Ning Yi. Ning Yi held his hands and patted the back of his hands.

"Of course, in terms of various details, there are still many things that can be discussed. First of all, don't continue with Junwu's cleverness about the relationship between me and his master and apprentice. It is of course beneficial to pass it on to the common people, but in In the middle and upper classes, there are some big figures who are loyal to the Wu Dynasty and are willing to accompany the little emperor to the end. Because of this rumor and his tacit attitude, they may give up their support for him. Therefore, on the bright side, he must make a statement and must put aside It shows that he is the orthodox posture of the Wu Dynasty."

"... On the other hand, I can open up to him the ideas and books of Gewuxue, but not the results. He must train craftsmen himself, and cultivate qualified materialistic thinking among craftsmen. I can also say frankly that he failed. , this stall will belong to me, and I have no good intentions."

"... Of course, I can give convenience to the cultivation of craftsmen, the establishment of factories, the operation of schools and the enlightenment of education, and some organizational methods at the bottom, so that there can be references there. For example, those children you stay here, Wen Huai has made great contributions in Tanzhou recently, if you wish, you can borrow them to go to Fuzhou to help assist in the establishment of some grassroots organizations, of course, it is up to you whether you trust them and to what extent you trust them."

"There are still a lot of things, and we can talk about them in detail later. Next is the era of turbulent wind and clouds. Get ready for a magnificent change."

Ning Yi smiled: "Chengdu welcomes you."

……

The sun was falling from the sky, Zuo Xiuquan stood on the tower of Jiange, watching the clouds flying in the sky.This is a clear sky under the scorching heat, and the air is not stuffy, and there will be no rain, but there seems to be bursts of thunder passing by his ears.

Then came the turbulent era...

Ning Yi's words are still ringing in his mind.

……

A few days before this, on the south bank of the Yellow River, the Lin'an envoys who went to the Jurchen East Road Army camp to lobby Zongfu Zongbi were kicked out of the camp by the Jurchens.

Afterwards, a kind-faced but majestic fat man crossed the Yellow River in a small boat. He entered the barracks and met the two Jurchen princes.

There were intimidation and abuse between the two sides, and there were verbal confrontations, but in the end the two sides initially reached a consensus that the rest will be completed in the next day, and there will be an upright decisive battle to remove the opponent's head.

The armies on both sides of the Yellow River began to operate with each other according to the agreed steps, and the mighty Jurchen East Route Army began to cross the river to the north.The Wanyanchang and Shuliesu troops in Jiangbei bypassed some fixed positions near Liangshan, and stopped burning, killing and looting nearby cities and villages.

……

In Fuzhou, Jun Wu, Zhou Pei and others received one by one or even teams of great scholars and dignitaries every day. The two sides tested each other, perfunctory, or simply clarified something.Some people leave, and of course some stay.

Compared with Junwu's resolute will, Zhou Pei's attitude is more gentle. Since Zhao Ding's granddaughter Zhao Xiaosong saved her life back then, many great scholars found this relationship and came to the Princess's Mansion to ask if the situation could be resolved. There is a turnaround.

When she was in Lin'an in the past, she played a more conservative role, often dissuading Jun Wu, who was the prince at the time, not to be too radical and ruin the relationship with everyone.But by this time, she had also agreed with the policy of not repairing the broken ship.

"Go back, there is no way."

At the end of the conversation, she often sighs like this. After all, she is young, and even though she has experienced many things, she is finally able to accept this kind of road of breaking the boat and giving it a go.In the end, there are also some elderly people who are willing to entrust their wealth and life to them.

The reform has begun to advance, and ominous prophecies and speculations are entering her ears every day, and people are predicting their future self-immolation.Sometimes, she would wake up from her dream, and under the starlight, she would look towards the sea to the east.

"...You assist Junwu, Xiaopei...you assist Junwu to pass on the Zhou family's world, pass it on... pass it on...huh?"

She remembered Zhou Yong's entrustment when he was dying.

Father...

Can we still... go there...

Before long, there will be crates of the stuff, delivered thousands of miles from the Southwest.

……

Not many people expected that in this vast world, the flames that were more intense and complicated than the War Against Jin began to appear after the fourth southern expedition of the Jin people.

……

in the cloud.

The cause and effect of things are implicated from very small places.

It was more than ten years ago, the Jurchen's second southern expedition, they captured Bianliang, the capital of the Wu Dynasty, and they kidnapped hundreds of thousands of Han people and went north to serve as slaves.

The life of the Han slaves was extremely difficult, especially the first batch of Han slaves captured during the Jingping Disgrace. Nine out of ten of them died under inhuman torture more than ten years ago.

Among them, there was once a Bianliang family of officials and eunuchs. The whole family was arrested and brought to the Northland. The men in the family became slaves and the women became prostitutes. Several members died one after another within a few years of being arrested.In the tenth year of Tianhui, the head of this family was originally an official of the Ministry of Etiquette in the Wu Dynasty. In order to survive, he reported a piece of news to his superiors.

The news is: His son once abandoned literature and went to martial arts, and served as an officer in the Wu Rui Camp in the Wu Dynasty. Later, he followed the Black Banner Army Ning Yi to kill the king and rebelled, becoming the core member of the Black Banner Army. His son is named Luo Ye In the future, they will definitely send people to the Kingdom of Jin to rescue their family.

At that time, during the battle of Xiaocanghe, Lou Shi, the god of war, had fallen to the northwest. The official surnamed Luo hoped that the Jin people would save their family and go to the northwest to persuade them to surrender, or they could become bait to trap black flag spies in the future.

An official of the state of Jin recorded the matter, but did not take special care of it.

It wasn't until the end of the Xiaocang River War that the Jin people who had paid a heavy price in the northwest began to pay attention to intelligence warfare. Xiyin ordered Yan Qingjue and others to organize forces and focus on the southwest. This record was found again, but at that time, Many members of the Luo family, including the official surnamed Luo, had already died, and due to poor news from all over the world, everyone in the cloud could not judge the authenticity of this information, and this information was shelved for a while.

Not long after, a chief arrester named Mandu Dalu noticed this information. At this time, the original Luo family only had a half-crazy young daughter still lingering.

This year is the 15th year of Tianhui. Not long after the middle of May, someone came to report that during the latest investigation, the crazy woman disappeared.At this time, news of the disastrous defeat of the Nianhan army in the southwest of the Wu Dynasty had spread. Many Han slaves in Jindi died innocently every day. Wu Qimai originally issued an order that those who killed Han slaves should pay fines It is not surprising that a crazy woman died silently.

Law and order has become chaotic, and the resistance and escape of the Hannu will become fierce at any time. Mandu Dalu still has many things to do at this time, but the intuition developed by the old headhunter for many years made him pay attention to this matter.

On May 23, a convoy of business travelers headed for Yanmen Pass.

Lu Mingfang was in the middle of the convoy, looking back at the desolate scenery of Youyan.

He was actually a child of Bianliang, who was not yet a full-grown man. When the Jurchen came to kill him, he experienced the chaos of war, and soon followed his father to Yunzhong to open the situation. Not long after, his father died.He has been with You Yan for half his life.

In more than ten years, he only went south three times, twice in Xiaocang River, once in the southwest, and all he saw were desolate scenes.Right now, the Huaxia Army has won a big victory and occupied the Chengdu Plain. When he goes to Chengdu, he can see the prosperous and prosperous southern city.

Think about it, the memory of the past has almost become distant, what kind of scene is the prosperity of the Han people?Thinking about it in his mind, the only thing that was clear was the scenery of the Northland.

Lu Mingfang died on the evening of May 24th.

Not long after, his mutilated body was transported back to the cloud, and the Jurchens began to claim that they had killed the leader of Black Banner's secret service in the Northland.

Tang Minjie saw the almost unrecognizable corpse in the crowd. After identifying it for a long time, his cheeks twitched several times.

It seemed to be the dusk at the end of May. He walked into an unknown dark alley and vomited once. In Yunzhong Mansion, the killing of Hannu was intensifying.At this moment, he is the real leader of the Black Banner Army in the Northland.

"Old Lu... how do you keep yourself in place?" He sat in the alley, and the voice from not long ago sounded in his head, "I mean, you are much more measured than me..."

Lu Mingfang sat there and answered. What did he answer?Although I can't remember it anymore, maybe because I think of my comrades in arms, there is still a smile on the corner of Tang Minjie's mouth, which evokes...

……

When An Xifu led the team across the Jiange and followed the crowd towards Chengdu, the atmosphere in Jindi was becoming chilling.

Zong Han and Xi Yin lead the West Route Army, which is no longer numerous, and they are constantly planning their future direction on the way back to the north. Their letters have been sent back to the Kingdom of Jin one by one. On the one hand, they express their attitudes and on the other hand, they clarify the facts. , I hope that the future power transition will be completed in the most appropriate way, and I also hope that the high-level elders in the Kingdom of Jin will be aware of the threat of the black flag and reach a consensus on a certain aspect as much as possible.

It was an unprecedented fiasco.But at the same time, Zong Han and Xi Yin's record of long victories in the past can still explain part of the problem.In the imperial palace in Shangjing in May, someone read the letters sent by Zonghan and Xiyin several times to the extremely weak emperor Wu Qimai. This emperor of the Jin Kingdom was extremely tenacious. Two years later, waiting for the end of the Southern Expedition, on May 25, his consciousness was rarely awakened, and he left some will for the result of this Southern Expedition.

He followed Aguda in the incident, and fought together with Zong Han and Xi Yin for half his life. At this moment, the dying emperor still used his last strength to respond to the call for help from his comrades thousands of miles away.

……

Daylight is setting.

Not long before it sinks to the ground, it will stir up the most blazing tide——

　The title is finished, the layout of those mighty big things is completed, and the next chapter begins, returning to the easy display of the small perspective.

I mean, what do you guys think about Ning Ji's journey to Invincible...
