Chapter five hundred and forty-eight vigorous sacrificial action
The emergence of newspapers has greatly enriched people's lives. At least they have something to talk about after dinner. Especially people in cities, even if they are illiterate, like to take time to sit in teahouses and tea stalls, looking for people who read newspapers.
.
Asking for a pot of tea and listening to a newspaper will quench your thirst and replenish your energy. You can go home and sleep with double satisfaction.
In fact, for a long period of time, the channels for ordinary people to obtain information were quite limited. Or to put it simply, they were almost zero.
First of all, books are very expensive, and secondly, miscellaneous books other than the Four Books and Five Classics are more expensive due to the scarcity of printing quantities, or they are simply expensive but not marketable.
I searched all over the world and couldn't find a copy.
Therefore, it is not surprising that many poor scholars only know a few things and do not know anything useful.
Ordinary people understand history and the outside world. In addition to the stories told by their elders, they are also some stage actors who tell stories and sing operas.
How much you can learn from your family depends on your elders. Usually, how much can a family that has been farming for generations know?
As for the entertainers, they are very eloquent, but if you listen carefully, you will know that what they say is completely different from history, and it is not the case at all.
In hard-hit areas like the Three Kingdoms, artists just pick up the lively stories from the beginning... Even after the Romance of the Three Kingdoms is written, in most cases, it will not reach the end, and it will even end before Zuomai City or Baidi City Tuogu.
.
After all, it becomes more and more sad in the future, and ordinary people probably have the same appetite as readers. I read the book for fun, so why should I write those sad parts and give us a happy ending?
If you make us sad, we won't watch it, don't spend any money, and let you drink from the northwest wind!
As a result, over time, a very interesting folk history will be formed... In folk history, the Tang Dynasty was created by a group of heroes from Wagang Mountain, and Li Shimin was a very weak figure.
The descendants of Yue Fei inherited his legacy and sent troops to the Northern Expedition. The gnawing Jin Wushu was captured by Niu Gao. There are also jokes that made Jin Wushu angry to death and Niu Gao laughed to death... In the universe of folk history
, the Great Song Dynasty was naturally revived.
Of course, we cannot deny the value of folk stories. They certainly represent a good wish of the people, are popular and spread widely, and there is nothing wrong with it.
It seems that there should be a real historical education outside the folk system, so that people can understand more about the truth, shape common memories, and cultivate common values.
This cultural accumulation is the source of Chinese civilization.
Today, the Ming Dynasty is taking advantage of the excellent opportunity of the Northern Expedition to decisively launch a make-up course operation.
After publicity in newspapers, many people learned about Wen Tianxiang for the first time, and learned about the demise of the Song Dynasty at the hands of the Mongols, as well as the tragic defeat of Yashan and the collapse of Shenzhou.
Looking further back, there is the shame of Jingkang and the injustice of Yue Fei... It is unbearable to read.
In the past, Zhang Ximeng's articles mainly targeted scholars, schools, and military officers. There is still a long way to go before it can be truly popularized by all the people.
This time is very different. At least for the citizens, it is the first time for them to have a relatively complete contact with history, and it is also the first time to know what Xianggong Zhang has been tinkering with over the years...
I am ashamed to say that I used to think that Prime Minister Zhang was the kind of living god who could pinch things and do calculations. He was sent by God to assist the Holy Lord Zuo Mingjun.
Now everyone has figured it out. It turns out that Prime Minister Zhang is speaking for everyone. Instead of using any means to fool the people, on the contrary, he advocates educating the people and getting more people to read and understand, all for the good of the people.
matter.
Unfortunately, it took more than ten years for Zhang Ximeng's ideas to finally spread to the people and become something familiar to many citizens... Is it very slow?
Not only is it not slow, it is even amazing.
After all, it took only ten years to gain support from so many people. If given another twenty or thirty years, it would not be impossible to change the entire world.
Understand history, remember Prime Minister Wen, know shame and then be brave.
Yanyun conquered the sixteen states, most of which were in the Northern Expedition, and regained their homeland.
In restaurants, restaurants, and on the streets, people are talking about these things more and more, and they are becoming more and more aware of the meaning of the Northern Expedition.
The Mongols took away the world and turned us into slaves.
To this day, we want to make the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains, expel the Huru and get back the land that belongs to us!
What are you taking it back for?
You can neither eat nor drink.
Is it necessary to increase taxes, corvee, work hard, and die in battle?
have!
Of course!
We are all from this country. Who doesn’t want to live a prosperous family life? Don’t want to buy a chair today and a bed tomorrow?
If our family wants to become more prosperous, our country will become bigger and bigger. We must hold on to the land that our ancestors did not lose.
The land lost by our ancestors must be brought back.
We must find a way to get the land that our ancestors have not occupied.
Green is better than blue, and life is getting more prosperous day by day.
Only in this way can we be worthy of our ancestors and worthy of our descendants.
This simple view quickly spread among the people.
The family and the country are united, longing for the Ming Dynasty to get better and better, and hoping that the land of China will become more and more prosperous... With the people's support like this, the support of the people is natural.
Among them, Fudan Academy in Shandong took the initiative to raise money and bought a 10,000-stone grain ship, which was donated to the imperial court for transportation of grain.
Fudan Academy's actions have made Jimin Academy extremely embarrassed. This earliest established academy, which claims to be the best in the world, has fallen behind and is simply unable to face the world.
Jimin School could only mobilize urgently, and teachers and students together donated 50,000 guan of treasure notes to be used for military expenses.
In addition, people from various places provided grain and cloth and took the initiative to work to help transport grain and grass.
The craftsmen in the military workshop used their rest time to rush to make weapons. They made 5,000 more weapons and sent them all to the front of the army for use by the soldiers.
From top to bottom, compared to previous mobilizations, the people were more proactive this time.
In the past, it was based on the equalization of land. When encountering war, the people had to take the initiative to serve, help win the war, and preserve the land.
This time, more citizens were mobilized.
For the Ming Dynasty, to make the country better...a kind of glory, responsibility, and mission based on the Chinese people is rapidly brewing and sprouting.
There is no doubt that Genghis Khan once inspired the Mongols to be ferocious and good at fighting. In the days that followed, the world in the East and the West trembled, trembled, panicked, and knelt down under the iron heel of the Mongols.
But now in the Central Plains, tens of millions of Chinese people, after they wake up, what they can bring to the world, even Zhang Ximeng cannot predict.
He just knows that the power from the people is becoming more and more powerful and grand.
People are no longer satisfied with paying homage to Prime Minister Wen... Zongze's tomb in Zhenjiang and Yue Fei's tomb in Hangzhou are all places where Zhu Yuanzhang once visited.
People gathered here, recited the sacrificial inscriptions of the past, and raised their arms and shouted together to expel the barbarians and restore China.
Both the elderly and children were immersed in strong excitement.
It turns out that this time we used troops to fight, collect taxes, and mobilize the people... It was not some side court that bled into the sea, and Emperor Zhu wanted to retreat, but to regain his homeland and take back the land of his ancestors.
As a Chinese citizen and a descendant of Yan and Huang Miao, it is time for us to make an effort.
In Shanyin County, Shaoxing Prefecture, countless people gathered beside Lu You's grave, including more than a dozen descendants of the Lu family.
Holding articles in their hands, they knelt down in front of their ancestors' graves and cried loudly.
"Have a look! Master Wang is about to embark on the Northern Expedition!"
"Master Wang not only wants to recover the Central Plains, but also wants to expedition to the north."
"The land of Yanyun is also going to be brought back! What the Song Dynasty failed to do, we have done it!"
"Long live the Ming Dynasty! Long live our emperor!"
People's voices rose and fell one after another, one wave higher than the other.
Wang Shibei fixed the Central Plains Day, and he did not forget to tell Nai Weng about the family sacrifices!
Unfortunately, it has been more than 150 years since Lu You passed away.
The Song Dynasty, which he had pinned his hopes on, was completely defeated after a few decades. Not to mention the recovery of the Central Plains, even he himself was lost.
Today, nearly a hundred years have passed since the Yuan Dynasty.
The heroes of the Central Plains, the descendants of China, finally accumulated enough force to not only regain the Central Plains, but also restore Yanyun.
This time we will definitely succeed!
It is worth mentioning that it is not just Lu You who enjoys the glory of the people's sacrifices. In Jinan, people also recite Xin Qiji's poems and gather outside the city to commemorate this poet whose ambition has not yet been fulfilled.
It's just that compared to other places, the people of Jinan have one more layer of people, that is, the supervisor of this Northern Expedition, Shaoshi Zhang, is also from Jinan.
It is the duty of Shandong elders to restore Yanyun!
Throughout the Ming Dynasty, various sacrificial activities continued, and the morale of the people reached its peak...
This powerful trend naturally spread to Fujian and under the rule of Chen Youding.
The Lord of the Eight Palaces, who once had a red crane crown, was now frightened and restless.
Although the Ming army's spearhead is in the north, it is also facing the crisis of destruction at any time.
Ironically, Chen Youding did not even dare to expand his troops and actively prepared for war.
He was afraid that his actions would attract Ming's attack. There was no one like him at this level.
It's just that Chen Youding didn't expect that he tried every means to guard against the Ming Dynasty, but he didn't expect that before the Ming Dynasty took action, his own rule would be in chaos.
Various commemorative activities of the Ming Dynasty, constant publicity, and many newspaper articles have flowed into Fujian and other places.
Quanzhou, in particular, was deeply affected.
Many young students gathered together to read articles, express their sighs and yearn for it.
Just when everyone was talking about their dreams, someone suddenly stood up.
"Why do we have the nerve to say this? Elsewhere, we are busy commemorating the heroes, working together, and joining the Northern Expedition. It's better for us. We betrayed the Song Dynasty and followed the Yuan Dynasty to become popular and drink spicy food. That family is shameless
They are still there to act arrogant and do good deeds!"
This sentence almost ignited the powder keg.
Many young people's faces turned red, they clenched their fists in anger and gritted their teeth.
"That's right, we are so embarrassed!"
Someone else said with red eyes: "What are you talking about? If we can, let's take action. If the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains doesn't work... let's kill the family in the south of the city!"
These young people finally couldn't hold it any longer. They rushed out, gathered their friends, and rushed directly to the Pu family mansion in the south of the city.
This is a super mansion covering an area of 300 acres. It supports hundreds of thugs alone.
The young people tried to rush in from the front, but were counterattacked by the thugs. Both sides suffered casualties... After a brief stalemate, several young people went around to the side, secretly climbed in, and lit the Pu family's granary with torches.
In an instant, the flame soared into the sky, like a huge candle, lighting up half the sky...
