When Zhou Yu faced the choice, Cao Cao also faced various problems, but it was obvious that Cao Cao was more decisive when making choices, especially in dealing with the boxers of the Han Dynasty.
In the Han Dynasty, or in most feudal eras in China, the number of male boxers greatly exceeded that of female boxers. Therefore, the sudden rise in female boxers in later generations can be roughly regarded as a spring rebound.
Boxing was originally based on actual combat, that is to say, for self-defense and physical fitness. However, as people cheered on, the purpose of boxing gradually changed. In order to win more applause, boxing began
After all, the benefits of boxing will naturally come as your reputation grows. The boxers of the Han Dynasty were also very clear about this.
Especially the boxers who have changed from "clear discussions" to "clear talks"...
Originally, Cao Cao's attack on Jingzhou could be regarded as giving some benefits to the boxers who were boxing in Yuzhou. After all, there were more items on the market, and there were also more food, drink and entertainment options. It can even be said that these boxers in Xu County can now start from
The reason for calmly boxing in front of the public was due to Cao Cao's conquests on the front line. Otherwise, in history, even the children of the Xiahou family in the Cao family would have had to go out of the city to collect firewood, and then Zhang Fei robbed a little loli.
, not to mention other ordinary people.
From another perspective, these are also the butterfly wings of the hussar general Fei Qian. After all, the current population and economy preserved by the Han Dynasty are much larger than those in history, so in comparison, materials and so on will also be
They are more affluent than the big men in history.
But the problem is that boxers don’t care about this. These people just want to punch beautifully. From the day they wanted to win applause, boxers’ boxing skills have actually gradually gone out of shape. But these people may
If you know and pretend not to know, maybe you can’t stop fighting anymore...
Among the current Han Dynasty, especially in Jizhou and Yuzhou, the descendants of the Han gentry have basically transformed from the original "Qing Discussion" to "Qing Tan".
Although there is only one word difference between "Qing Yi" and "Qing Tan", the meanings they represent have completely different meanings in the history of Chinese culture and the feudal political structure.
The former, as a consensus among the intellectual class, enabled the scholars of the Han Dynasty to appear on the stage of history as a complete group for the first time, and the strong idealism and uprightness displayed during the Qing discussion process
The outspoken style has always been a reference for future generations of scholars in terms of life values and a model of character, and its influence has been profound.
And the latter...
The originally spectacular "Qing Discussion" in the Han Dynasty turned into an empty shell of "Qing Talk" in the Wei and Jin Dynasties. This transition may seem confusing on the surface, but it is actually forced by the social and political situation.
The Han Empire has gone through hundreds of years of rise and fall. In the hands of Emperor Shun of the Han Dynasty, it was already declining due to the interference of small groups in politics and the monopoly of foreign relatives. The mighty Emperor of the Han Dynasty was actually killed and deposed at the behest of a few wretched-looking eunuchs.
, Chao Gang was so bad. At this time, although all the officials remained silent, a group of imperial students outside the court stood up and expressed their indignation.
These frail scholars who had originally buried themselves in history gathered together due to consensus, and wrote letters one after another to dispute current affairs and criticize the government. This was called "Qing Yi" in history. Of course, according to the official view of the Han Dynasty, it was "slandering the government."
It is said that if someone "slanders the government", the court will naturally arrest and kill some of them. This is the two subsequent "party imprisonments". The Qing Dynasty discussion is the cause, and the party imprisonment is the result.
Those who opposed the feudal court were not only those in the Han Dynasty, but also in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, as well as in the Pre-Qin Dynasty. There was no need to make a fuss at first, but the difference between the Qing Conference was that it was very large, with tens of thousands of scholars participating in the Qing Conference.
Secondly, the righteousness revealed by the Qing Dynasty. Those scholars were either imprisoned or killed, but despite this, they continued to fight without flinching. This made the rulers afraid.
Please note that when the Qing Dynasty debate first began, these gentry children did not seek fame. Even knowing that there was a risk of death, they still moved forward calmly. For example, after the death of Li Gu and Du Qiao, the imperial court issued an order not to collect the body, so someone took it with him.
Axes and other suicide tools risked killing lives to drive away the flies for the rotting corpses, crying and lingering. Such a strong and strong character was naturally respected by others. Later Lu Xun also sincerely lamented: "There have always been few failed heroes in China.
There are few tenacious resistance, few warriors who dare to fight fiercely alone, and few condolences who dare to caress the traitors. When they see a sign of victory, they gather together, and when they see a sign of defeat, they flee."
Well, the above sentence was indeed said by Lu Xun.
Indeed, an upright person who dares to put aside his wealth and life for the sake of his undying ideals and forge ahead bravely and indomitably is worthy of admiration at all times, and will also be admired and praised by future generations...
But the problem is that there are too many "smart people" in China. When some people see these people being admired and praised, some people's eyes light up and they start to imitate boxing to show their resistance. On the surface, they may be honest.
Criticizing the current abuses, but in fact, it is just coveting the fame that boxing can gain and the three melons and two dates that fall in the boxing ring.
Just like Cao Cao has generally accomplished the strategic goals and has negotiated an alliance with General Fei Qian, but the boxers are not satisfied. They feel that they can fight again, and even started to make public and semi-public accusations.
Cao Cao is a traitor to the Han Dynasty, a lackey of Xijing, and a villain who betrayed the interests of Shandong...
"I heard that the general withdrew his troops from Wancheng, do you know whether it is true or not?"
"It's probably true!"
"How can this be possible? Nanyang is the hometown of the emperor, how can we give it away so easily?!"
"There must be something fishy in this!"
"As an important minister of the court, the general is highly regarded by the emperor and relies on Qiancheng. How can he do such an unethical thing? Isn't it like being an enemy?"
"What does this mean? You must know that the general has an army of 100,000, and when he goes out for an expedition he does not reveal his territory, and when he retreats he does not hand over his military power. What is the use of the emperor?"
"You need to know that those who call themselves Hanchen are not necessarily Hanchen... Didn't Yuan Benchu call himself a Hanchen back then?"
"In the past, Yuan Benchu, today hehehehe..."
"It's obvious that we can accomplish this in one battle, but we just stopped and stopped fighting!"
"This place is very suspicious!"
"The Master said, "It is better for the Yi and Di to have kings than for the Chinese to have none!"
"Of course! As the saying goes, "If a king treats his ministers like dirt, then his ministers will regard him as a bandit!"
"It's sad, it's a pity. Brother Zhang has the ambition to clear up the world, and Brother Wang also has the talent to sweep away the universe, but why can't he use it!"
"Thank you, thank you...Brother Li is also a unique genius...We should help the country to rectify the world, so that we can live up to the teachings of the saints and live up to our ambitions!"
"Exactly..."
"Insert..."
As a result, Cao Cao sat in the festival hall of the General's Mansion with a dark face.
"Ming Gong, this... the mouth to defend the people is better than the river..." one person said.
Cao Cao turned his eyes away and said, "So I have to put up with the right and wrong and let him make money?"
Another person held up his hand and said, "When the Zhiju comes to the nest, the wind comes from the hole. If the one who entrusts it is true, then the wind will be different..."
"Since the accusation is groundless, the crime can be forgiven..." Cao Cao raised his eyebrows, "But the insinuation is especially forgivable?"
Cao Cao kept saying something, and after everyone fell silent, he looked at Xun Yu, who had been silent all this time, and said, "What do Wen Ruo think?"
Xun Yu lowered his head and cupped his hands and said, "I'm afraid there will be chaos."
Cao Cao pondered, and after a moment he said: "If you just ignore it, will there be no chaos?"
Xun Yu couldn't answer. Because this question is obvious. When everyone can talk nonsense without taking responsibility, there will always be some people who like to talk nonsense to attract the attention of others.
"I met Qiaoqi and was deeply touched." Cao Cao raised his head and said, "Beside Chang'an, there is Qinglong Temple. You must have heard a little bit about it... In Qinglong Temple, people can't help but talk about it, or talk about it.
Policies may be discussed, business affairs may be discussed, current affairs may be criticized, and people may be criticized. There is no limit to the matter... There are also hussar officers who write down internal notes. If they have good strategies and suggestions, once they are adopted, their names will be honored, their money will be rewarded, and they will be rewarded.
In the world..."
"Of course!" Cao Cao's eyes widened, "In Chang'an City, since the Qinglong Temple has been established, it is not allowed to be seen in public and gathered together to discuss! Violators will be punished! What do you know? Is the hussar's method so cruel?"
Xun Yu sighed and said: "Because in Qinglong Temple, there are all disciples of scholars... But in Chang'an City, there are many ordinary people..."
"That's it!" Cao Cao clapped his hands and said, "Wen Ruo's words are accurate!" Then he looked around, "Do you understand?"
Some of the people present were stunned, some scratched their heads, and some glanced left and right.
Xun Yu added an explanation: "Scholars, you should read more poems and books, and you should have your own opinions on right and wrong... However, the people are stupid and do not understand right and wrong. If they deliberately instigate it, they will cause chaos..."
At this moment, many people understood and began to ponder.
"What's wrong with the people!" Cao Cao patted the table and said, "Look at all the people who are working so hard, and all they want is a ladle to drink and a basket to eat! Apart from that, the young and old can be taken care of and the family is healthy.
! Why do you have the intention to talk about one thing and another, and comment on characters? There is someone..." Cao Cao glared at a certain person, "In the name of "people", he talks about his personal desires! What kind of "mouth to defend the people", dare to ask what kind of "people"
"Only then can you open your mouth to the world and shut your mouth to the country?"
The official from before quickly shrank his neck and said that Cao Cao can't see you, you can't see me...
Who are the people who gather around the boxer to watch the boxing, applaud and make noise?
Will it be those ordinary people who are holding on to their increasingly thin five-baht coins, worrying about the price increase of millet and millet, the price of soybean and salt, and then worrying about the elderly being sick and the children being raised?
But the boxer still didn't care about this, and the people watching the boxer's boxing didn't care either. When they saw that there were fewer people gathered, they even shouted loudly, "There's boxing here! Come and see! If you don't see it, you must see it!" And then even
He didn't hesitate to recruit some navy troops, well, the audience looked at them, standing within a three-foot circle, moving left and right, having a great time fighting, but they didn't notice that outside the city, it was already full of rain and thunder.
For these boxers, the number of onlookers proves their worth. Therefore, even if the boxers know that their boxing skills will lead people to ditches, they will still destroy them.
Cao Cao squinted, looking from left to right, then from right to left. He had tried very hard to be a listener, not a dictator, but now he was gradually losing patience...
"There is also a place with flowing water in the bamboo forest outside the city, but I just don't go there!" Cao Cao frowned, "I prefer to stay in the city, gather people to discuss, and make noise in the courtyard! What does it mean? Huh?! That's it!
How can we tolerate this kind of people?!』
Cao Pi had discussed it with his disciples in front of the main hall before, and Xu You and others had gathered in the bamboo forest outside the city. However, some things happened at that time, which prevented the bamboo forest from being as large as the Qinglong Temple. This naturally has some consequences.
Part of Cao Cao's own factors led to the fact that no one was willing to go to the bamboo forest to discuss politics.
But now Cao Cao obviously does not admit this.
"Order!" Cao Cao said in a deep voice, "There are many reed houses in the bamboo forest outside the city, and they were renamed Qiuyan Forest. However, anyone who wants to discuss can go to the forest to discuss! If you have a good idea, I will not hesitate to reward you generously! If so,
Anyone who incites the people and makes noises about right and wrong in public will be charged with slander! We will also announce that it will be carried out on the first day of the next month! Don't say that someone will be punished for not teaching!"
"Wen Ruo, Boning stay, the rest will go on their own!" Cao Cao shook his sleeves.
A large number of civil servants in the hall raised their buttocks in response and retreated slowly in small steps.
Xun Yu was silent for a moment, but finally spoke: "My lord, if this happens, there will be another storm..."
Cao Cao put his hands on his legs and sat motionless, "I want to see who will stir up the wind and rain! Boning..."
"I'm here." Man Chong lowered his head slightly.
Cao Cao said: "This matter will be entrusted to you, but if you need anything, come and find me!"
Man Chong nodded first, then looked at Cao Cao, "If..."
"Repay to someone!" Cao Cao's expression was as hard as a rock and could not be changed.
Man Chong lowered his head, and seeing that Cao Cao had nothing else to do, he said goodbye to Cao Cao.
Cao Cao nodded, and then waited for Man Chong to leave, his expression relaxed a little, looked at Xun Yu, and then said: "Follow me... I will return soon..."
『?)?Д?(!』 Even though Xun Yu was usually calm and composed, he still couldn't help showing surprise and joy after hearing the news.
"I am not allowed to garrison troops for two hundred miles around Wancheng, so I changed my position to serve as a filial piety..." Cao Cao sighed, "Hussars... Haha, this is a demonstration..."
Xun Yu didn't know what to say for a while. Is it great? But this is almost equivalent to the condition of losing sovereignty. Is it too bad? But after all, Guo Fengxiao's return was beyond Xun Yu's expectation.
"The hussar is determined to be in the world..." Cao Cao stretched out his finger and drew a circle, "Someone still underestimated him... This world is not just the land of Shandong and Shanxi... This hussar has actually sent
Liu Xuande marched into Jiaozhi..."
"Jiaozhi?!" Xun Yu was stunned.
Cao Cao pinched his beard and said, "Yes, the land of Jiaozhi is full of barbarians. What's the merit?"
"Jiaozhi" was originally a word used in ancient Chinese books to describe the customs of the "Southern Barbarians". It later evolved into a regional name. "Book of Rites: Kingship" says: "China's Rong and Yi, the people of the five directions, all have their own nature, and they cannot
As time goes on...the south is called barbarian, and there are people who eat without fire."
"Diaoti" means there are patterns on the face. "Jiaozhi" does not mean that the toes are crossed, but means that the feet are crossed when sitting or sleeping.
The sitting etiquette of the Han Dynasty is largely derived from the ancient Spring and Autumn Period. Not to mention sitting cross-legged, even "sitting with a dustpan" is an extremely rude behavior.
Even when sleeping, the ancients would lie on their sides. Although they would bend their knees, they would rarely cross their legs. This is because the ancients believed that "lying on your side with your knees bent is better than lying on your back."
It even describes the standard of this side-lying posture in more detail, "When lying on the left side, bend the left foot, bend the left arm, put the head on the hand and extend the right foot, and place the right hand between the right thighs. When lying on the right side, instead...
…』
It is precisely because of this etiquette that people in the Jiaozhi area of South Vietnam had this habit of crossing their legs, which impressed the ancient Chinese people so much that they even called it "Jiaozhi".
During the Western Han Dynasty, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty attacked South Vietnam not because Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty had any deep understanding of Southeast Asia, but because at that time, after the Pre-Qin Dynasty, the South Vietnam Kingdom verbally recognized the monarchy of the Han Dynasty, but in fact it did not directly accept it.
It was under the jurisdiction of the Han Dynasty, and the relationship between the central government of the Han Dynasty when Zhao Tuo and Queen Lu were in power was tense for a time. Although they later rebelled and surrendered again, it was still a problem until Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sent troops to destroy Nanyue and establish three counties.
But after Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty obtained a large amount of war plunder and wealth when he destroyed South Vietnam, there was almost no additional profit in the future. Even the so-called Maritime Silk Road was a small effort, otherwise there would be no need for it.
It was not until the later feudal dynasty that it was expanded...
Therefore, in the thinking and cognition of Cao Cao and Xun Yu, what does Jiaozhi have? What can it have? What exactly does the hussar general Fei Qian want to do when he sends Liu Bei to attack Jiaozhi?
Even though the two of them are considered extremely smart people nowadays, they are missing some key pieces of information, making it difficult for the two of them to get a full picture no matter how hard they try to piece it together. In the end, they have to wait and see.
Give up the exploration of Jiaozhi and keep your questions for subsequent answers.
"My lord," Xun Yu said to Cao Cao with some worry, "the strategy of hussar is feasible in Xijing, but it is difficult to apply in the east capital... Times are different, and places are also different. If we copy them blindly, there may be many mistakes."
OK..."
Cao Cao frowned, which was completely different from his previous aggressive attitude. He sighed and said, "Why don't you know? It's just that there are so many constraints now. How can we win in the long run?"
Cao Cao was not unclear about the plans of the Shandong nobles. After all, there were many people in Shandong, and even if there were losses, they would recover quickly. In addition, Liu Xiu had used this method to finally conquer Chang'an and gain the unification of the Han Dynasty, so
The Shandong gentry also believed that this time it would at best be a repeat of the old incident in Kuai Xiao.
Cao Cao thought the same way before, but...
After the Battle of Wancheng, Cao Cao discovered that things might not be that simple.
Cao Cao instinctively felt that something was wrong, especially after meeting Fei Qian. This feeling of something wrong became even stronger, and it even made Cao Cao start to examine his previous behavior, wondering if he had fallen into Fei Qian's trap again.
Amidst such suspicion and scrutiny, Cao Cao's control of public opinion in Shandong Shilin this time is the first step in his strategic change...
"When Fengxiao comes back..." Cao Cao looked into the distance, as if looking at a certain figure, and sighed slightly, "We will discuss it in detail then..."
