For several days, Wan Jun taught the seven people basic formation movements, and then the seven people trained the others.

After a few days, the effect is obvious. Judging from the current standing posture of everyone, they already have the appearance of an army. However, Wanjun does not yet have the strength to unify military uniforms. Moreover, Wanjun has not thought about how to equip them with weapons.

Yi Wanjun's idea was of course that each man had a gun. However, in the Ming Dynasty, although firearms had begun to develop greatly, the mainstream was still cold weapons. Firearms had not really begun to surpass cold weapons in an all-round way.

When Wan Jun was in the army, he was extremely familiar with the structure of guns. He could assemble a gun with his eyes closed, but if he was asked to build a gun, it would be basically impossible to succeed.

There were two guns recorded in Zhao Boyuan's statistical book, but after Wan Jun went to the warehouse to look at them, he gave up thinking about them. That gun was too heavy to use as a fire stick.

Historically speaking, the thirty years before and after Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty was a time of great changes in world military strategy. The European continent began to generally adopt more convenient and reliable flintlock muskets.

Subsequently, the modern infantry developed on the basis of flintlocks ushered in the era of European colonization. Later, Europeans relied on new firearms and modern infantry to become invincible in every corner of the world!

At the end of the day's training, just when Wan Jun was worried about the construction of the new army, Zhang Sheng came back with the first load of grain he had purchased, and at the same time he brought back a piece of news.

On March 19, the seventeenth year of Chongzhen, Li Zicheng broke through the Forbidden City, the imperial capital of the Ming Dynasty, and Emperor Chongzhen committed suicide on Long Live Mountain.

Wan Jun had learned this history in a book, and was very surprised when he heard it. According to the time, it was the day the test cabin crashed.

For many people, it was an ordinary day, but at the same time, an emperor of an empire was martyred thousands of miles away, and a modern man fell in an experimental cabin. Countless things were happening at every moment.

Unclear story!

Everyone stayed on the spot for a moment, Zhao Boyuan murmured, "Did the Ming Dynasty die like this? Li Zicheng is really destiny!"

Perhaps in the eyes of many people, Ming Dynasty is like that day, which seems far away, but you are living in that day. Although you scold it, you never thought that it would really disappear.

But now, the Ming Dynasty is dead!

Wanjun knew that after Chongzhen died, not long after Li Zicheng took over the throne in Beijing, Wu Sangui led the Manchus into Shanhaiguan, and then pushed them all the way to the south, destroying the Central Plains.

Seeing everyone's expressions, Wan Jun said, "From the 270th year of the Ming Dynasty to today, the country's mountains and rivers have declined and the people have no means of living. Bureaucrats, gentry, clans and royal relatives, who are not rich in food and clothing because of the Ming Dynasty? But they don't care about the country.

Don’t ask! When Li Zicheng marched toward Beijing last year, the treasury really couldn’t come up with money to mobilize troops, so Emperor Chongzhen called on his relatives, nobles, civil and military officials to donate money. Do you know what the result was?”

Seeing that everyone had focused their attention, Wan Jun said slowly, "As a result, the father-in-law of Emperor Chongzhen and the head of state of the Ming Dynasty only gave out five thousand taels of silver. The city was full of officials and gentry, ranging from a thousand taels to a hundred.

two

, the huge city of Beijing only managed to scrape together 200,000 taels of silver. Tell me, by whose hands did such a great Ming Dynasty fall?"

Hearing this, everyone looked angry. Zhao Boyuan was so angry that he clenched his fist with his right hand and smashed it on the table, "What a shame. The mountains and rivers are broken. The Ming Dynasty died at the hands of these moths!"

Wan Jun continued, "The ancients had a saying of 'destroying the family to relieve the disaster', but today people are doing it for their own selfish interests, causing the country to be destroyed and the mountains and rivers broken. How can it be attached to the skin without the hair? It's ridiculous, hateful and sad! It's just the same surname.

The destruction of the country is just a change of dynasty. Now the Manchus are watching outside the pass, entering the pass many times to plunder, and running rampant in the capital. No one can stop them. Now that Li Zicheng has invaded Beijing, the foundation is not stable. The Manchus will never let go of such a God-given opportunity! Only

I'm afraid that like the Song Dynasty, the world will be destroyed at the hands of the barbarians, and all the nine continents of China will be stink."

Everyone was speechless after hearing this, and there was a look of loneliness on their faces. The world is so vast, what can everyone do in it? Even Emperor Chongzhen, who has worked diligently for seventeen years, will face disasters and man-made disasters tomorrow.

The sun is falling, and now that one's body is dead and the country is destroyed, what can ordinary people do?

What is destiny? Wanjun also sometimes thinks about this question. For thousands of years, the Chinese people have been as strong as the Han and Tang Dynasties. Now they have become the dust of history, and the Ming Dynasty has ended like this. Why are the Chinese people destined to have such a disaster? God's will

Why do you take care of Manchu and not Han!

Wan Jun never wants to see such a thing happen. Even if, as later generations said, all the nations in the Chinese land are one family, then Wan Jun also doesn't want to see the "prefer to be friends with friends, not domestic slaves" thing to happen.

Since Wan Jun appears here in this timeline, he must do his best to change some things!

Wan Jun looked at the crowd and said, "The emperor thousands of miles away has died. Why do you all look like you are mourning for your heir? No matter whether the emperor is here or not, everyone has to live a miserable life. Now that the emperor is dead and the Ming Dynasty has died, then

We just rely on our own strength.”

Gui Dongliang and others were more open-minded this time than Zhang Sheng and Zhao Boyuan. They were originally poor people who didn't have enough to eat. The emperor was too far away for them. After hearing Wan Jun's words, they all nodded in agreement.

"No matter who becomes the emperor, we will still live our lives. If we want to live a good life, we have to rely on ourselves!"

Zhao Boyuan and Zhang Sheng are scholars. Although they knew this truth, they still couldn't let go. Zhao Boyuan asked, "I wonder what Brother Wan has planned?"

Wan Jun said, "I think everyone will never be able to get rid of the idea and identity of the bandit while staying in this mountain stronghold. We might as well wait for the new army to be trained, and then we can go down the mountain."

Zhang Sheng said, "It's just that we are single and weak. We can still defend ourselves in the mountains by relying on danger. How can we protect ourselves if we go down the mountain?"

Wan Jun said, "With the sixty elite soldiers we have trained during this period, we can protect ourselves from small things. If we are defeated, we can just retreat to the mountains to avoid it. But where will we take the first step out of the mountains? Please tell me where to go."

Let’s think about it together.”

Zhang Sheng said, "Brother Wan, although I am here to train elite soldiers, I will go down the mountain to buy some supplies in the next few days, explore the surroundings, and then make a decision!"

After everyone discussed the matter, Zhao Boyuan said, "If we go down the mountain, what flag should we set up? We must make a quick decision.

Ah, the wrong choice is better than no choice at all!”

Wan Jun said, "I already have an idea about this matter. I remember that during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, there was a man named Li Zhi in Fujian. This man once said that all bureaucrats are tigers that devour the people. 'In the past, tigers crouched on grass, but today tigers sit in government offices.'"

If they are big, they will swallow up humans and animals, but if they are small, they will not leave any fish or shrimps behind.”

Zhao Boyuan's eyes lit up when he heard this, and looking at Wan Jun's eyes he couldn't hide his excitement, "What does Brother Wan mean?"

Wan Jun said, "The reason why there are monarchs in the world is because of the people. Without the support of the people, the monarch is just a tree without roots. I am willing to establish a destiny for all the people, so that the poor people in the world will no longer suffer from the pain of chaos, and build

A paradise where everyone can live and work in peace and contentment."

Everyone had surprised expressions after hearing this, and the excitement on Zhao Boyuan's face became increasingly difficult to conceal. He Chu said, "I'm afraid we are too few and our strength is too weak."

Wan Jun laughed and said, "Li Zicheng only had eighteen riders when he fled to Shangluo Mountain. When Zhu Hongwu, the great ancestor of the Ming Dynasty, rebelled against the Yuan Dynasty, he only had twenty-four riders. We are much better than them."

Seeing that everyone was silent, Wan Jun said, "We will stop here today. Tomorrow I will announce our flag to everyone in the village!"

After everyone had dinner, the night in the mountains was getting darker. Wan Jun was sitting alone under the dim light, thinking about the future. Suddenly Zhao Boyuan's voice sounded, "Brother Wan, are you asleep?"

Wan Jun said, "It's still early, Brother Zhao, come on!"

Zhao Boyuan came in with a rather strange look on his face. He sat down and hesitated a few times before asking, "I'm quite curious about what Brother Wan said today. Is he also from the Taizhou school?"

Wan Jun asked back, "What do you think, Brother Zhao, of what I said today?"

Zhao Boyuan said, "To be honest, I accidentally read a copy of "The Burning Scripture" a few years ago, and many of my brother's words were included in it."

After the two talked, Wan Jun found out that Zhao Boyuan had been a student member of Huang'an County in the early years, and his family was also considered to be from a family with the surname Huang An. However, Zhao Boyuan was not very interested in gaining fame in the exams, and his family had high expectations for Zhao Boyuan. Later, I don't know where he came from.

I got several banned books, including this "Burning Sutra".

"Burning the Classics" is the work of Li Zhi, a well-known thinker in the Ming Dynasty. He lived in Huang'an for several years. During this period, his writings and lectures were very influential. Later, Li Zhi was framed and committed suicide. Because in his works, he said many things: the people are more important than the emperor.

All were listed as banned books by the Ming Dynasty.

In Huang'an County, there were many scholars who listened to Li Zhi's lectures, and the books Zhao Boyuan obtained were preserved by these people.

Zhao Boyuan read what was said in the book and agreed very much. This kind of thinking seemed to be the source of trouble at home. Later, fearing that something would happen, he was asked to leave Huang'an for a study tour.

Wan Jun listened to Zhao Boyuan's words and admired him very much. He was a person who was deeply educated in modern times. It was understandable that he had such thoughts. Zhao Boyuan was born in this feudal dynasty. It was really remarkable that Zhao Boyuan had such courage and thoughts.
