Of course, this was an attitude toward the enemy, but a different attitude toward one's own people. They wanted to make a fortune together, so they began to think about controlling the government, and eventually started the most fierce party struggle.
Ling Xiao once heard a couplet: The sound of wind and rain can be heard in the ears, and the family and state affairs are concerned about everything in the world. The meaning of this couplet is very good. It was inscribed by Gu Xiancheng, the leader of the Donglin Party in the Ming Dynasty, at Donglin Academy. Therefore,
I have a good impression of the Donglin Party.
But later I realized that I had been deceived, because as the forest grew bigger, there were all kinds of birds, and as the Donglin Party grew bigger, it eventually became the defender of that kind of interest group, which means that after becoming powerful, they want to be richer.
The original intention I once had has long been lost in that corner. Of course, as a member, I have always been under the banner of serving the country and the people, but when it comes to implementation, it is for the benefit of the group.
The hypocrisy of the mother-in-law made Ling Xiao have a headache when he thought about this kind of party struggle. You must know that most of the people who can be involved in the party struggle are officials who have passed the imperial examination. The behavior between them can be described in one sentence: literati look down on each other.
Those Donglin Party officials who were very famous in the later period were indeed able to study and speak nice words, but when they were really asked to do things, not only did they do nothing for the dynasty, they often made trouble and liked to fight among themselves.
They also like to flaunt themselves as belonging to the Qingliu and make false and empty remarks. The members of the Eunuch Party are a bit more talented than most of the Donglin Party. In addition, after the Donglin Party came to power, for the benefit of the group, a large number of people in the southeast region were exempted.
Commercial taxes were imposed, but farmers were squeezed. This was one of the important reasons for the peasant uprising in the late Ming Dynasty. The peasants had no chance to survive.
After taking power, the Donglin Party members completely ignored the reduction in tax revenue and insufficient military expenditure when facing the emperor. They refused to retreat one by one and refused to allow peace talks, otherwise they would give him a death sentence.
But when the dynasty was over, how many Donglin Party members led by Qian Qianyi really died for the country? Especially Qian Qianyi, who first surrendered to Li Zicheng and then to the Manchu Qing Dynasty.
It is said that he once wanted to commit suicide by jumping into the river, but he walked ashore not long after entering the river and said that the water was cold, haha! Didn't he just not want to die? Where is the integrity of a scholar?
After all, the Donglin Party members are the kind of people who say they are the common people of the world, but secretly only care about their own selfishness. They are both high-minded in theory and dwarfs in action.
The Donglin Party members should bear some responsibility for the demise of this dynasty. They are obviously people with relatively high IQs, but they have no overall perspective and some of them exclude dissidents.
In addition to various shortcomings, there was another reason for the fall of the dynasty: at that time, the Little Ice Age entered, food production decreased, and the nomadic people in the north were also affected by the Little Ice Age and stepped up their invasions.
After thinking about these situations, Ling Xiao stood on the mountain and looked at the great rivers and mountains. She even let her soul attach to a puppet eagle and looked down at the earth. There were majestic mountains, flat plains, and flowing rivers.
Everything is so beautiful.
But in less than a hundred years, this place will become a huge battlefield, with people coming all the way to slaughter the city, leaving their hair intact. Later, there will be an invasion by the Eight-Power Allied Forces, and it will become a battlefield in World War II. There are countless Chinese
Children died under the enemy's butcher's knife.
How sad! Ling Xiao stood there with a lot of thoughts. She really didn't want to see all this happen again. Forget it, she had to try her best. The bloody nature of the Chinese people could not be wiped out again and again. She planned to wait for the original owner to get married.
Head to the north.
This is because she knows very well that the continuation of a civilization requires the support of force. A civilization without the support of force will only be squeezed again and again.
After the end of World War I in 1919, China spent a lot of manpower and material resources to win the war, but as a victorious country, it still could not get rid of the unequal treaties.
The so-called Paris Peace Conference actually rejected the legitimate demands of the Chinese people and returned the SD area originally occupied by Germany to China. Instead, it handed over the SD area to the Japanese. Is this surely the treatment of a victorious country?
The so-called Paris Peace Conference is still a conference for major empires to carve up the world. China, which has no force value, still did not get back its own land even if it refused to sign the relevant Treaty of Versailles.
Ling Xiao has always had a bad impression of the dynasty that once again enslaved the Chinese people. Slaves come and go all day long, and only one person is called the real master: the emperor.
Others are all slaves. Of course, some people may be proud of being able to become slaves. After all, generally only Manchus can call themselves slaves, and generally people from other ethnic groups cannot call themselves slaves.
This rule is really good! Anyone who wants to be a slave can become a slave. Anyway, Ling Xiao definitely doesn't want to be a slave. Only those who have no freedom are called slaves.
It was precisely because of the possibility that people with character would not step into the officialdom that Ling Xiao would remind Wei Ba that sometimes smart people see too clearly and are unwilling to understand the officialdom, thinking that they can stay away from right and wrong. However, this
This idea is unlikely to be realized.
The consequences of chaos in the world are that no one can escape. Ling Xiao also knows that she is not very sensitive to politics. She is the kind of person who prefers scientific research. The reason why she can give guidance to Wei Ba now is because she comes from later generations.
The reason why we have given up on the south these days is because the power in the south is too strong, and some things should not appear in the south. In fact, some scholars in their hearts still imagine that the emperor is wise and powerful, and they are always moved by the feeling that rain, dew, and thunder are all the kindness of the king.
.
The south is the place with the most literati. After thinking about it, she decided to change the place to light the fire. As for the original owner, she was about to get married, so she had completed her mission.
She decided to divide the money during this period, leaving behind the original owner's dowry and the Song family. The rest was money that she could use in this world.
During this time, on the one hand, she began to study more research work, and on the other hand, she began to prepare to teach new scientific knowledge, not just the emasculated Confucianism. She wanted people in this world to have more development.
She decided to inject something new into the people of this era. It was not possible to kill the emperor, which would bring chaos to the whole world, but she could develop people's wisdom at the bottom.
Let the Chinese people have more ideas and don't rely on the emperor's wisdom. In fact, there are indeed some wise emperors, but the proportion is relatively low.
After Ling Xiao thought about it clearly, she began to work hard. After some hard work, her tenant farmers began to read and write, so Ling Xiao had a new idea.
She asked her farmers to start summarizing their farming experience, and gradually began to think about how to increase grain production and the emergence of new grains so that more people could eat more.
Ling Xiao's reputation in this place gradually improved. Relevant officials, including people from the Wei family, also benefited a lot from the emergence of new grain varieties, and Ling Xiao also received some preferential treatment.
She built an academy near the Taoist temple and began to spread knowledge. But what made others find it strange was that this academy not only taught Confucian classics, but also had some strange places, teaching some mathematical, physical and chemical knowledge, that is, studying things.
Ling Xiao asked them to use this knowledge in their lives after learning, and asked them to try how to use this knowledge to better serve their lives and live a fulfilling life.
Ling Xiao went to see the original owner that day. Over the years, the original owner gradually adapted to the new life. She and Wei San became good friends. Wei San had a fierce temper and often took the original owner with him.
It was the first time for Wei San to feel the warmth given by friendly companions of the same age. She had always been crowded out by others before, and the original owner also liked Wei San's company.
When a girl grows up, she will have a lot of little secrets. She cannot tell Ling Xiao, nor will she tell Mrs. Qi. The only one who knows is her friend Wei San, and the two help each other.
After Ling Xiao found out, not only was she not unhappy, but she felt that the original owner had really come out of the shadows of the past and could no longer see the person she was before. You must know that she had always wanted to be a transparent person, but now she is becoming more and more transparent.
The beauty of women.
After learning that Ling Xiao had come down from the mountain, the seventh old lady also hurriedly met her, but Ling Xiao soon discovered that her face was very ugly. What was going on? Is there something wrong?
After Ling Xiao asked, he found out that something was wrong with the seventh old lady's brother, because he didn't know what happened and suddenly had a strange physical condition, which caused everyone in the family to panic. Some people knew that they wanted to kill him, saying
He is possessed by a demon.
Someone found out that they were unwilling to say this, so they spent a lot of energy with them, and finally ran to the seventh old lady, wanting to find her and let her make the decision to see what should be done?
After knowing the news, Mrs. Qi went to see her brother. She couldn't believe her eyes at first. Is this her brother? She saw that he was still alive and well before, but now he has turned into a bad old man who has no love in his life.
.
What on earth is going on? Why is it like this? Madam Qi was very surprised. Looking at the person who brought her brother to ask for help, she knew something.
Then she saw her brother having an attack with her own eyes. Even the seventh old lady was well-informed, but she was a little creepy when she saw that scene, because her brother's behavior had a very strange feeling, but she was still a good sister who loved and protected her brother, so she thought
what to do?
The first idea was to find an expert to crack it. At first, she wanted to find someone who didn't know her identity to crack it, so as to prevent her from causing trouble to her family.
But she couldn't find a suitable person, most of them were liars who only knew how to make false claims. After much deliberation, the old lady had no choice but to ask Ling Xiao. Fortunately, after the two families got married, they could be considered one family.
Just when she was about to find Ling Xiao, she got the news: Ling Xiao had arrived. The seventh lady was so happy that she hurried out to find Ling Xiao, even forgetting to send a greeting card first.
Ling Xiao looked at Mrs. Lai with some curiosity. You should know that Mrs. Seventh had two big dark circles on her face at the moment, and she even had a lot more white hair on her head.
The seventh old lady was also a little sick at the moment and rushed to seek medical treatment. She didn't know what happened to her brother. But what she knew was that if this matter spread, it would be her brother who would be unlucky.
If possible, she didn't want to alarm others, but her brother's behavior was too weird, and she couldn't solve this weird feeling, so she couldn't bear it and wanted to find someone.
In fact, she has basically visited all the temples and Taoist temples nearby, and obtained various consecrated items and various talismans for her younger brother to use. After removing demons and cleaning them again and again, she found that
There are no good changes at all.
She felt very sad, because what happened was too weird, and she didn't want others to know, because she didn't know how her brother would become like this, and she was even more afraid that those people would want to set fire to her brother.
After these days of hard work, her brother's situation became even worse, because he really didn't want to live anymore, and he didn't want to drag his sister down because of himself. His situation was too weird, and he might drag his sister down.
At this time, he was still very desperate. Even though he had done nothing bad, he still had to suffer this kind of torture. If possible, he would rather die early than delay others.
Even though he still felt very desperate in his heart, he was still a little lucky, hoping that God would give him a way to survive. He was a human being, and he still wanted to live well instead of dying in a very dishonorable way.
He almost died on the road. After these things, except for his sister, a relative who missed him, it was difficult for him to talk about other people. This was because he had just realized the idea: it is better to have his own sister.
As a family member, his sister never gave up on him, which made him feel warm in his heart. Those people had abandoned him before, but there were also people who stayed without any excuses. He also wanted to know the reasons.
Even if he died in the end, it wouldn't be so strange. Fortunately, my sister never gave up and kept thinking about how to find someone to treat him, which made her burst into tears.
Therefore, she wanted to find someone to take a look, and soon discovered that the doctor was absolutely not optimistic about her brother's illness. She once again tried to use mysterious methods to see if she could save her brother, but ultimately failed.
After hitting the wall so many times, the seventh old lady's last hope was that Ling Xiao could handle it all, because although she didn't know Ling Xiao's true ability, she still felt that he was reliable.
After Ling Xiao found out, she agreed to meet the seventh old lady's brother because she wanted to have a good relationship with him, but she also saw that this was not an ordinary matter, how could it come to this point.
She still doesn't know the cause and effect of the whole thing, but she still mentioned some news through the seventh lady. The old lady suffered a lot during this period, and she suddenly aged ten years.
One thing can be seen from the seventh old lady. Everyone has a bad opinion of the seventh old lady's brother. Some people even say that this person is seeing something strange! Seeing something strange? Is it a supernatural event? However, Ling Xiao does not believe everyone's speculation.
, what’s weird? It doesn’t exist at all.
Ling Xiao has been traveling through this world for some years, and she is the kind of person who sees everything clearly. She naturally knew that she had made a mistake just now, and there was no supernatural element at all.
Naturally, she didn't believe there was any trick. Even if it was really trick, she would fight it back hard. Ling Xiao went to a place under the leadership of Mrs. Qi, which was a relatively remote place.
