Chapter 43 The Japanese War
Wang Yuanba married his daughter to Lin Zhennan, intending to plan the Lin family's "Evil-Repelling Sword Book". After all, Wang Yuanba can be said to be from the same era as Lin Yuantu, and is only about twenty years younger than Lin Yuantu. When Lin Yuantu was in the martial arts world, it was when Wang Yuanba was in the martial arts world.
At that time, Lin Yuantu was a top-notch master in the martial arts world, and was very powerful. He was famous in the Central Plains with a set of 72-way "evil-repelling sword technique", a hundred and eight-style "turning the sky palm", and eighteen "silver feather arrows". He had few opponents in the world.
If you marry your daughter to Lin Zhennan, you can also plan the "Evil-Repelling Sword Book". Although you are old and useless, you can leave it to your descendants and you will be prosperous for a hundred years.
However, Lin Zhennan married Lin Zhennan's daughter and hit it off. Because by marrying Lin Zhennan's daughter, he could get the support of Wang Yuanba's forces and extend the business of the Fuwei Escort Agency to the heartland of the Central Plains of Henan, and the entire situation was opened.
Wei Xian started chatting with these escorts. These escorts were very talkative, and they were experiencing the world, knowledgeable and well-informed, and they talked about many "interesting news" in the world.
‘Xiao-Xiao-Xiao-Xiao-Xiao-Xiao-Xiao-Xiao-Xiao-Xiao-Xiao-Xiao-Xiao-Xiao-Xiao-Xiao-Xiao-Xiao-Xiao-Xiao-Xiao-Xiao-Xiao-Xiao-Xiao-Xiao-Xiao-Xiao-Xiao-Xiao-Xiao-Xiao-Xiao-Xiao-Xiao-Xiao-Xiao-Xiao-Xiao-Xiao-Xiao-Xiao-Xiao-Xiao-Xiao-Xiao-Xiao-Xiao-Xiao-Xiao-Xiao-Xiao-Xiao-Xiao-Xiao-Xiao-Xiao-Xiao-Xiao-Xiao-Xiao-Xiao-Xiao-Xiao-Xiao-Xiao-Xiao-Xiao-Xiao-Xiao-Xiao-Xiao-Xiao-Xiao-Xiao-Xiao-Xiao-Xiao-Xiao-Xiao-Xiao-Xiao-Xiao-Xiao-Xiao
‘The young heroes of XX have picked up three bandits in a row, killing people’s heads and blood flowing into a river’
‘Some hero saw injustice, so he even picked a copycat to remove any harm to the local area’
Wait, there are nearly ten such rumors. Fortunately, bandits cannot be killed, and one group of fallen and another group of young heroes with strong demand are enough to practice to gain fame.
Wei Xian also learned about the situation in various places in the Ming Dynasty from them. The more he listened, the more he felt uncomfortable. Although since Emperor Hongzhi ascended the throne, he appointed virtuous ministers, eliminated the bad policies of the court, and implemented many good policies, his life was also called "Hongzhi Zhongxing", and he belonged to the lord of the revival. However, over the past 100 years, all kinds of disadvantages have accumulated, and they can be changed without repair. For example, in recent decades, the Japanese pirates have been very terrified, and the government has failed to kill, and it is not a joke. In addition, the land annexation is serious, and the landlord class's natural enthusiasm for land has made it more and more land occupied, which is difficult for ordinary people to survive. It is not a good idea in normal years, but not rich, at least they can support their families. However, in the year of disaster, they have to change their children and sell their children. Some people are even more determined to become bandits, so the provinces are actually not calm, and there are many bandits and bandits.
The garrison was corrupt, and the officers and soldiers had not been trained for many years, and they had no combat power. They were even more unwilling to suppress the bandits and bandits. The bandits hid in the deep mountains and forests, or moved their positions, and you could not find them at all. With fewer people, they were unable to deal with bandits and bandits. Therefore, the government had no intention of attacking bandits and bandits. They did not seek merit but did not seek any mistakes. Anyway, promotion was due to money from their bosses.
Three years of Qing Dynasty prefect, 100,000 silver silver!
This is definitely not just a saying.
Wei Xian sighed in his heart, no wonder the martial arts world cannot be destroyed. It really has a vast mass base. So what if your court sends millions of troops? At the same time, Wei Xian also mourns the hardships of people's livelihood. It is really prosperous and the people suffer; the people suffer when they perish!
The dynasty is really hard to escape the law of the three hundred years, but in the end it is the contradiction between land and population. The population continues to increase and the amount of land remains unchanged. The gentry and landlords continue to increase their own land possession through land annexation, which makes more people lose their land. In the end, the contradictions break out sharply, and it is often the time for the dynasty to change.
Besides, Wei Xian has never seen the luxury of the royal family. Wei Xian has never forgotten the hugeness and magnificence of the Qin King's Mansion.
"Zhao Laosan, is the Japanese attack on the coast really serious?" Wei Xian couldn't help asking.
"Seriously, very serious. Those Japanese pirates killed in heaven, either three or five hundred or thousands, attacked the coast from time to time, burned, killed, plundered and plundered, and often attacked a place. The place would experience a catastrophe. Even if it attacked the county town, even the county magistrate would be killed." The bodyguard 'Zhao Liu' said: "Once the government army went to wipe out, the number of people could not defeat these Japanese pirates. If there were too many people, they would not bother with the champion and retreated directly."
"The government does not allow the formation of rural heroes in various places. Alas, my wife's family was attacked by Japanese pirates last year. There was no living in the village. They were either killed or kidnapped. When the officers and soldiers arrived, the Japanese pirates were no longer visible." Zhao Liu sighed.
Wei Xian also knew the problem. If he remembered correctly, this problem mainly caused two aspects. On the one hand, it was the implementation of a sea ban policy, which made the Ming Dynasty not have any powerful navy. Without a navy, it would be impossible to take the initiative and could only resist passively. However, the coastal sea line was so long, how could it be defended? On the other hand, it was the smuggling maritime merchants who interfered with huge profits in order to monopolize maritime merchants. Later, there was a lot of evidence pointing to that many of the Japanese pirates were actually supported by maritime merchants.
After all, it was the corruption of the garrison and the military system, and the soldiers did not have the combat effectiveness of the early Ming Dynasty. In addition, civil servants now have an absolute advantage and suppress military officers and do not want to get on the sidelines, which made the Japanese strife unable to be resolved for a long time.
Wei Xian was very angry about these Japanese pirates. Not only is the current Japanese pirates harming the coastal areas and causing harm to the people of Daming, but also because the Japanese pirates caused a catastrophe in Shenzhou, which almost led to the fall of Shenzhou, and the Chinese nation almost destroyed the country and the race. The sins committed by Japanese pirates in Shenzhou are endless and cannot be forgiven.
Late at night, the escorts fell asleep against the wall one by one. Wei Xian was sitting cross-legged by the fire. However, Wei Xian did not practice his internal skills at this time. He really listened to the escorts telling the escorts about the storm of the coastal Japanese. The bandits and bandits everywhere disturbed Wei Xian's heart. Wei Xian wished to hold the three-foot Qingfeng and kill all the Japanese pirates, purge the bandits and bandits everywhere, and give the people a bright world.
But Wei Xian reasonably told him that these are all treatments for symptoms but not root causes. As long as the root causes of the problem are not solved, these problems will exist.
Open your eyes and look at the collapsed statue of the mountain god. If it was a prosperous era, people would worship it. However, in this day, people lived in dire straits and felt that the mountain god could not protect themselves. Fortunately, they did not give the mountain god incense, and even angrily pushed down the mountain god temple.
Wei Xian walked out of the mountain temple with his sword. The cold wind roared, and the heavy snow continued to fall. Wei Xian danced his sword in the snow. In the past, Wei Xian's sword seemed exquisite and dangerous, but at this time, it was unknown whether it was because his sword had killed people or whether he had the aggression of killing all the Japanese pirates in his heart and suppressing the bandits and bandits in the world. Wei Xian's sword technique was more sharp and more hostile.
After practicing sword for a long time, Wei Xian vented almost the same thing. He just returned to the temple, sat cross-legged and fell asleep.
