In the Chengdu Plain, in a small village called Chencun south of Jiading, the civil construction projects started last winter have reached a certain scale.
There is a two-story building in the courtyard at the east end of the village that was completed first. In the room on the first floor, Ning Yi was reading the messages that came yesterday one after another. Juan'er at the desk was responsible for putting these things together.
Organize and archive.
Although it lives in the south, this seemingly remote village is currently the most well-informed place in the world. Various messages from the Jin Kingdom, the Central Plains, and the Wu Dynasty are transmitted every day, and most urgent messages are brief.
, the subsequent supplements are relatively detailed.
The three ongoing wars in the Central Plains are currently the focus of close attention. Of course, the siege of Damingfu has lasted for a long time, and the Battle of Xuzhou is still in its initial stalemate, so there is not much information. The situation in Jin is the
The real change happened three times a day. The person in charge of the Jin Dynasty compiled the information every three days and brought it over. When he saw the news of internal strife under Lin Zongwu that day, Ning Yi frowned and threw the information away.
open.
"What a waste of good stuff!" He cursed in a low voice.
Since the Huaxia Army returned to the southwest, efforts to open up trade routes have been directed to the Jin region from the beginning. Later, after Tian Hu, Tian Shi, Lou Shuwan and others were killed and they took power, many advanced crossbows, cannons and even equipment principles were used by the Huaxia Army.
Priority was given to assisting there, and coupled with Tian Hu's ten years of management, Jindi's wealth is actually quite rich.
The division of Jin after Tian Shi's death was actually a re-grabbing and distribution of these resources. Even for guys like Lin Zongwu who had previously had problems with each other, Lou Shuwan and even the Chinese army used considerable efforts to put them in power.
He even lost some of the benefits he could get. Who knew that this fat man would be slapped in the face before he even sat in the chair, which made Ning Yi feel that it was unlucky to see this name.
"What?" Juan'er came over.
"It would be better for me to help a dog than to help him!" Ning Yi clicked on the information and pouted, and Juan'er laughed. She has been managing the Chinese army for a long time, and is involved in affairs. Her majesty is getting worse, and she can only spend time alone with a few family members.
Sometimes, you can see his relatively unscrupulous appearance.
Of course, it's also possible that he did it on purpose.
After several messages from Jin, there was also news from the south. In the direction of Huainan, Han Shizhong's army had begun to accept the refugees coming down from the north - these were the "hungry ghosts" who were originally led by Wang Shitong and traveled thousands of miles.
"The rest, of course, are more likely to be the refugees from the Central Plains whose families were destroyed and who were brought here - after such a long disaster, their number is actually very small.
"Hungry Ghost", this catastrophe that lasted for more than a year and affected millions of lives in the Central Plains, finally came to an end. The number of survivors was approximately between 50,000 and 100,000. This number is still decreasing, due to
The reason why the total number has dropped significantly is that the southern government, under the instruction of Prince Junwu, launched a rescue and shelter work for these refugees who were already hungry and skinny.
What makes Ning Yi happy is that Junwu did not blindly let these people enter the southern society, but ordered the government and the army to carry out centralized treatment, on the one hand to prevent diseases, on the other hand to avoid these people who had lost everything and most of whom had eaten people.
Refugees have had a huge impact on Jiangnan society.
It is conceivable that if these poor people were rashly put into the society of ordinary people, they would feel morally disordered and lose everything, what they would do just for a bite of food and drink. After experiencing the baptism of plunder and killing,
In a short period of time, it will be difficult for these people to integrate into society like other refugees and join small workshops or work quietly in other places.
This fact has nothing to do with sympathy.
Regarding Wang Shitong's request before his death, Fang Chengye also added it to this message and sent it along.
Regarding the matter related to Wang Shitong, Fang Chengye made a review. In the first half of last year, Fang Chengye should have mobilized force to kill him. But Fang Chengye had a certain sympathy for Wang Shitong, so that he took such action
His will is not firm; secondly, Wang Shitong himself is extremely smart. Although his goals are reckless, he has always had strict control over the inside of the hungry ghosts and around him. The two reasons were combined, and in the end Fang Chengye failed to find a good enough target.
opportunity.
By the second half of last year, the Jurchens had gone south, and by this time the Central Plains had already been devastated. The frontline personnel of the Chinese Army believed that the hungry ghosts might still be able to hinder Zong Bi's team, and the success rate of assassinating Wang Shitong was not high.
Gao's plan was temporarily put on hold.
Looking back, it might have been a better choice if Fang Chengye had mobilized frontline personnel to kill Wang Shitong at all costs in the first half of last year.
Millions of creatures ultimately occupy a small position in intelligence. Ning Yi read it twice and sighed. In fact, if he could really predict the development of everything, he would kill Wang Shitong in Zezhou and fight.
Scattering hungry ghosts is actually easier. One of the prerequisites for Fang Chengye's failure to launch the plan is actually because Wang Shitong himself is a good person. After millions of hungry ghosts are formed, the success rate of assassinating him internally is too low after all.
Already.
"Things about hungry ghosts should be filed in the library. Maybe people can learn a lesson later."
Juaner silently put the information aside.
The matter of the hungry ghost has been closed, and what has been transmitted can only be regarded as a summary. After this information, there are a few tidbits from various places that may be valuable or just lively. The situation in Lin'an City, the most popular among various brothels and teahouses
The message was a copy, and the matter about Long Qifei was also included. After reading it, Ning Yi threw it aside and finished the first task of the morning.
This was followed by a meeting on the policing system.
Since troops were sent to occupy the Chengdu Plain last year, the number of people under the rule of the Huaxia Army has expanded to more than one million. To rule such a large area, it is not enough to have tens of thousands of troops capable of fighting. In the past few years in the three counties of Hedeng, although some people have been trained
affairs officers, but in the end it was still not enough.
In the past Wu Dynasty, or in the entire Confucian system, local governance has always been based on the way that the imperial power did not extend to the county. This is consistent with the political resource situation of feudal society. But for the Chinese army, it is no longer enough to completely attribute the local area to the gentry.
Wisely, this is because the Huaxia Army's program incorporates some democratic ideas and emphasizes civil rights and people's wisdom. However, at the same time, the practice of attacking local tyrants to divide their land is not suitable for the current situation.
In later generations, after a hundred years of humiliation, coupled with the support of "Das Kapital" and a series of quite rigorous theories and programs of Marxism-Leninism, this radical change came out of a relatively stable framework. At present,
The Wu Dynasty has been arrogant for two hundred years, but has been humiliated for only ten years. Overly radical methods can easily turn into an unstoppable carnival. Even if it does not follow Fang La's footsteps, it is actually difficult to produce good results. This has always been Ning Yi's
Want to avoid.
At present, the Huaxia Army's formulation of "China" requires people to change and strengthen themselves, have their own rights, and defend their own rights. However, for a while, they cannot be deeply understood by the people at the bottom. After all, in the past thousands of years,
Scholars shoulder all social responsibilities, and the hard-working people immerse themselves in work is a way of division of labor that is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Military law can be used to make the army "self-strengthening", and it cannot force the people to wake up. Therefore, the reference to "China" can certainly be used in Xiaocanghe
That kind of hard time is inspiring, but it is difficult to become the core concept driving everything in the peaceful Southwest.
So, what can become the core concept in Southwest at this time? Ning Yi still chooses the spirit of contract.
Deploy retired or injured veterans to various villages to become the spokespersons of the Chinese Army, restrict the power of the local gentry, and write down the basic human rights and legal spirit implemented by the Chinese Army in the three counties of Hedeng into simple regulations, supervised by these veterans
In terms of enforcement, we would rather make law enforcement relatively mechanized and combat the unkindness of people seeking wealth in various places, while also gradually winning over the hearts and minds of the people in these places.
In order to prevent the squires everywhere from corrupting the veterans too quickly, continuous ideological work is extremely necessary. And this model is actually somewhat similar to the early American Sheriff model.
From a practical perspective, the current situation of the Huaxia Army has actually always been a military-controlled government maintained by modern military concepts. Amid the Jurchen threat and the corruption of the Wu Dynasty, it relied on military performance and military discipline to maintain a certain period of time.
Its power and efficiency. But if this efficiency gradually declines - that is, after the cycle of life in which the nearly generation of Chinese troops will inevitably return to life is completed - if the ideas that Ning Yi put down, whether it is democracy, human rights
, if feudalism or capital cannot be implemented, then the entire Chinese army will inevitably fall apart.
Up to now, Ning Yi has spent the most time on, first, the spirit of contract, and second, basic human rights. Talking about contracts, having human rights, and doing business are actually preparing for the industrial revolution and even the first round of capitalism. Because regardless of
Whether other doctrines will take shape and the emergence of the industrial revolution promoted by gewu is a future that is truly within reach for Ning Yi.
In the short period of time, it is also of practical significance to make this public security system operate as solidly as possible and completely control the Chengdu Plain. The Chinese Army had about 60,000 troops in the three counties of Hedeng.
Now nearly 10,000 people have gone to Xuzhou, and more than 50,000 people - even with a certain amount of militia - are just enough to ensure the rule of the Chengdu Plain. With the Jurchens moving south, if something really needs to be done in the future
, Ning Yi must draw out enough new troops from his hands as soon as possible.
The security resources selected from the veterans are relatively sufficient. With the beginning of spring, the 198 literacy level teachers reserved by Hedeng have been distributed to various parts of the Chengdu Plain to conduct mobile classes in a certain period.
Teach literacy and numeracy.
The medical resources in the military have been released as early as last year. At the same time, the Chinese Military and Commercial Department has been actively contacting local businessmen since last year to encourage, matchmaking and assistance - being near Liangshan,
In the past, the Huaxia Army also interacted with many people in its commercial activities. At this time, the real trouble was the tense situation outside the Chengdu Plain. However, as the threat of the Jurchens became increasingly serious, the Huaxia Army issued a ceasefire statement.
By March, peripheral tensions had actually begun to ease, and business conditions on the Chengdu Plain gradually began to pick up.
All these various things have caused Ning Yi to enter a state of continuous rotation again. In the afternoon and evening... listening to various reports, holding meetings, meeting people to see... By the time he returns home at night, he has many children.
I have gone to bed, and the yard is no longer noisy. At this time, the meetings with my wives are still quiet. Sometimes I sit with Yunzhu under the eaves and talk to her about the news from Lin'an...
"Ah, now the oiran there is called Shi Daidai, she is a woman from the Western Regions... Alas, the world is declining, and names are not very particular..."
Sometimes he met up with Tan'er, Xiaochan and others to cook noodles for a midnight snack. Although it was late, he did it himself, but he was not tired.
Sometimes he calls Jin'er over to pat his head, sometimes he bullies Hong Ti, or he is bullied by Xigua... Times like this are the most relaxing moments for him every day.
Actually not much.
Although Southwest was peaceful, sometimes when he woke up from his dreams late at night, what he smelled in his nose was still the smell of gunpowder in his dreams.
"What's wrong?" My wife, who was sleeping lightly, would also wake up.
"It's nothing... you didn't turn it into a trick, and I didn't turn it into a house."
It was a bit regretful to say this, but it was a very warm memory for the two of them. Then the wife would talk about the children.
"...After the war, let them build it."
The topic gradually changed. When Ning Yi looked at the moonlight outside the window, the smell of gunpowder smoke had not dissipated...
…
On the north bank of the Yellow River, in the drizzle, the sounds of fighting and fighting sounded densely together, and a war was going on.
Arrows flew, horses neighed, shields and spears collided, and the army of believers with yellow scarves on their arms rushed into the formation in front.
"Wow -" On the front line of the battlefield, a running figure was like a Buddha covered in blood. With a thunderous roar, the figure crashed into the crowd in front, holding knives in both hands, heading in the direction of the opponent's commander's flag.
Killing them all the way. The surrendered Jurchen Han soldiers were frightened by the blood-stained giant. They turned around and ran away. The giant almost cut a bloody path in the weak resistance. Several soldiers who ran slowly were pretended to be by him.
Rolling all over the ground.
In this encounter, the chance of victory for the surrendering army was not high. One side of the forward was washed away, and the defeat was obvious. The generals under the commander's command rode their horses to escape, but the giant covered in blood rushed towards the crowd.
His body is faster than a galloping horse.
In the rain curtain, one man and one horse, one behind the other, closed the distance on this chaotic battlefield. The general on the horse turned around and shot an arrow. The figure swung it out smoothly. The arrow flew away without a trace in the blink of an eye. He saw that the opponent was getting closer and closer.
As he got closer, the general lost his courage and shouted loudly: "I surrender, please spare my life..."
However, the other party roared and rushed forward.
This is the number one person in the world, Lin Zongwu.
The huge figure leaned against the war horse from the side, and there was a loud roar, water splashed everywhere, and the war horse was violently knocked out while running, and the general on the horse was smashed and rolled in the mud. The general was dizzy.
Before he could get up, Lin Zongwu rushed to his side, grabbed his neck, and suddenly threw him up.
The body weighing more than 100 kilograms flew to the side like a cannonball and hit a small group of fleeing soldiers. When it landed again, the body was twisted out of shape. Lin Zongwu rushed over, grabbed the steel knife and slashed wildly, leading his men
Soldiers, chasing and killing all the way...
This small victory and massacre boosted morale a little. The believers scoured the battlefield. When they returned to the village in the mountains more than ten miles away, it was already starting to get dark. The village was full of soldiers and soldiers who believed in the Great Guangming Sect.
Family members and the backbone of the army have already begun to publicize today's victory. Lin Zongwu returned to his room, washed and changed his clothes. The night fell and the rain stopped. He left the camp and walked through the stockade with a smile on his face.
, when we reached the outer darkness, the smile faded.
He walked toward the darkness.
Although he is huge, as the best martial artist in the world, the rugged mountains cannot stop him, and there is nothing dangerous for him. During this time, Lin Zongwu has been used to watching silently in the dark.
Looking at this village and his followers.
In the small square behind the village, some believers were practicing martial arts, and some children nearby were also babbling and practicing.
At some point, Lin Zongwu returned to the village. He came out of a dark corner and appeared in front of a child who was waving a wooden stick. The child was startled.
"...Tathagata...uncle?"
It was only after he saw it clearly that the child called him such a name.
The child's name was Mu Anping, and he was the son of the crazy Lin Chong. After learning the truth, Lin Zongwu already had an idea about the child's placement. However, at that time, he was still busy with the situation in Jin, thinking about what to do next.
To gain a place in the world, the whole thing was delayed. Until now, all this busyness has passed.
Lin Zongwu touched his head and sighed.
"From today on, your name is Ping An, and you are my disciple...I will teach you martial arts. One day, you will be the best in the world."
At this moment, there was no grand pomp or grand congratulations. Even the child in front of him was still blinking in confusion, not quite understanding what was going on. The bonfires in the village were going on and off, and all kinds of sounds were noisy and chaotic.
Just like this world, dancing in the rain...
…
boom--
Daming Mansion.
The catapult is moving.
In March, the fighting continued. The originally strong city wall was riddled with holes, and the defense line at the top of the city was in danger. This tragic siege was about to come to an end...
