Chapter 966 The four seas are tumbling, clouds and water are angry (10)
"...You will be able to coerce the people and counterattack the nobles. By then, the interest tendency of 'jointly governing the world' that seems to have been accumulated for two hundred years will become a trivial problem... This is the only thing you have a chance of winning today.
A little bit possible..."
At Jianmen Pass at the end of May, Ning Yi's voice rang out on the mountainside in the sunshine. Zuo Xiuquan's eyes were serious and mixed with emotions.
Among the Chinese military forces at this time, the Zuo family had a special status. Therefore, Zuo Xiuquan was able to ask some slightly outrageous questions here. Of course, for them at this level, as long as they make their attitude clear and do not engage in substantive matters in private
These discussions can be regarded as a gentleman's debate. He was actually a little aggressive and pushy in his previous words, but what he didn't expect was that this discussion would reach this point, even in the same room.
Time made him regretful.
The Ning Yi in front of him actually pointed out a path and threw out a framework. It would not be wrong for him to accept it, nor would it be wrong not to accept it. As wise as he is, he can naturally vaguely see some things that can be extended from this framework. If
Considering the current crisis in the Fuzhou court, this direction does indeed provide some possibility of breaking the situation. However, the problem beyond this is that after the situation is broken, the future they face may become more terrifying and...
Dangerous stuff.
People's livelihood, civil rights, people's wisdom...this is what he did in the southwest, and it is only a small part...
You really shouldn't be trying to be clever, you shouldn't ask...and you shouldn't listen...
He sighed in his heart, was silent for a moment, and then said with a smile: "Mr. Ning is very calculating. If Fuzhou really promotes these things and fails in the future, it will be a dowry for Mr. Ning."
"If it fails, it will be like this." Ning Yi smiled openly and did not hide it, "But if it succeeds, maybe there will be a way out."
Zuo Xiuquan thought for a while: "...the so-called handling of the emperor's identity and explanation means..."
"One of the biggest obstacles to promoting human rights and equality is that the status of the emperor and ordinary people must be very different. The only possible way to avoid it is to do two things. First, within a certain period of time, the interests of the emperor must be consistent with those of ordinary people.
The interests of the people are highly unified. Just like today, Jun Wu told everyone, lend me your power, and we will attack the big clans that distract the country's power. After concentrating our power, we will defeat the Jurchen invaders. In this way, within a certain period of time, we will defeat the Jurchen invaders.
Within a short period of time, the imperial power can win the greatest favor and gain its legitimacy and sanctity..."
Ning Yi said as the two of them walked slowly in the mountains: "But this kind of legitimacy and sanctity will not last long, because once the external pressure is relieved, the emperor and the royal family will inevitably become the biggest interest class, and everyone will slowly realize
If you feel that this is unfair, then you can start to try the second thing, let the imperial power retreat, keep it sacred, let the bureaucracy become a firewall facing the people, and the emperor should not directly participate in the struggle for interests..."
"How difficult can it be for the people to deal with it?" Ning Yi tilted his head and smiled, "In the foreseeable few hundred years, even if human rights awaken, they will never get 100% fairness, unless the world is truly unified and everyone
They are all Yao and Shun, and everyone's responsibility to resist is exactly the same. Then everyone can get equal benefits. But this is impossible. As long as there is a gap in IQ and ability, the privileged class will always get the big head, and the people who get the small head will always get the big head.
They have food and drink, and they won't mind having a sacred symbol of the emperor in their country."
When he said this, he paused with a smile: "Of course, unless there is an ideological emancipation for decades or hundreds of years, and the emperor's ugliness is confirmed, it is possible to achieve another consensus. But not now, there is
The existence of emperors has been inevitable for thousands of years. If today's emperor can hand over power to a relatively reliable bureaucracy, and he no longer weighs arbitrarily, he will be respected by everyone, and everyone will not mind supporting and respecting such an emperor.
In this way, the royal family can complete the process of sanctifying the monarchy - this game method can be called a constitutional monarchy."
Zuo Xiuquan tilted his head: "In other words, let's concentrate the power today, and then wait until the Jurchens are defeated, and then use the throne to rule."
"Either without my ideas, the little emperor can directly find a way out, then pretend I didn't say it." Ning Yi stated calmly, "If this method is used, the decentralized scholar-bureaucrats and foreign enemies should be defeated.
It's possible. But if after completing the initial enlightenment of the people, the emperor still wants to stay at the peak of his power to show that he is different from others, sooner or later he will be dragged out and beheaded, and Xujun will be the only one who can do it.
The way to protect it.”
At this point, he smiled again: "Create a bureaucracy and watch the fire from the other side. If anything happens in the future, it will be messed up. It has nothing to do with the emperor. How wronged the emperor is. He is obviously the emperor, and the country belongs to their family, but for the sake of the people
, he took the initiative to retreat, was unable to manage politics, and endured the humiliation from generation to generation. Who would blame him?"
"Then the person in power at that time will be..."
"Prime Minister, Chief Assistant...anything will do. Replace him every few years. He is not the emperor, so he doesn't have to be the emperor for the rest of his life. Set the rules first and then retire."
"If you have the power to plot evil..."
"The basic enlightenment of the people has been opened up, which shows that education has become a system. The difficulties and greatness of the emperor's initiative to pretend to be an emperor, as well as the necessity of this system, are written into the textbooks for every child. As long as they do not encounter very extreme situations
situation, this system can be sustained for a long time..."
The two walked forward slowly, Zuo Xiuquan asked questions from time to time, and Ning Yi immediately answered. After a while, the look on Zuo Xiuquan's face became increasingly weird.
If his initial question could only be regarded as a little thought, trying to get some scattered opinions from Ning Yi, Ning Yi's answer really made him feel complicated and unspeakable.
But at that time, he still felt that those words were the inner demon's casual counterattack. Who would have thought that at this time, he would have deduced the entire framework in detail.
The devil's deceptive words, at this moment, almost make people feel that they are sincere.
Especially after arriving, I only heard Ning Yi say: "... Regarding some ideas and difficulties about constitutional monarchy, there have been a lot of deductions in the Chinese military in the past few years, and the information is still being registered. Mr. Zuo is interested.
This time I will ask someone to move you to Chengdu."
Zuo Xiuwen hesitated for a long time, and finally said: "Mr. Ning...could he really want Wu Chao to find a way out?"
"It's easier said than done. With just a few years of deduction by a bunch of kids and I, can we really get it done?"
"But... if Mr. Ning really tells the truth sincerely, at least... there is a possibility."
Zuo Xiuwen frowned and raised his hands. The uncertainty in his words was, "Is Mr. Ning really so open-minded?" But after all, he didn't ask. Ning Yi looked at him and smiled.
"Many people in the world now know that the purpose of our Chinese army is to destroy Confucianism, to enlighten the people's wisdom, and to achieve equality and awakening... From a core point of view, the little emperor of Fuzhou now wants to fight against the enemy by respecting the king and pushing back the barbarians.
To rule the world together, this is a change in the bottom-level thinking." Ning Yi pointed with his hand beside his head, "Mr. Zuo can imagine how difficult it will be, but in the Chinese Army, we must try to use the thinking of geophysics to fight against the past.
How difficult is it to use metaphysical thinking to use the order of thinking that puts reason first to fight against the way of thinking of emotions, principles, and laws, and to use human rights and equality to fight against the Confucian class concept of kings, ministers, fathers, and sons? Can Mr. Zuo think of it?"
Ning Yi smiled, his eyes were calm, as vast and cold as snow-capped mountains and the sea.
"Regarding the opening up of people's wisdom and the enlightenment of civil rights, we have considered many situations and methods in our deduction. Among them, there is opening up without the emperor, there is opening up with the emperor, there is opening up in times of peace and there is opening up in times of war.
, these deductions and ideas may not necessarily be useful, but Mr. Zuo, as long as you are interested, I will never hide anything, because the deduction is just a fantasy. If an experiment that enlightens the people's wisdom can be maximized in Fuzhou, even if it is in the monarch mode
By doing so, we can get the most experience.”
"The thinking foundation of our place and society is metaphysics. The characteristic of metaphysics is from the whole to the part, and emotions are higher than principles. For example, the sky and the earth are black and yellow, the universe is primitive, and the infinite creates two rituals and two rituals create four phenomena. It sounds very interesting.
Principles are passed down from generation to generation and are considered to be the truth, but where is its starting point, who observed it, and who can strictly prove it? Everyone is accustomed to accepting some principles that sound right, but why is it right? In fact, we used to
The thinking of geologists does not involve imagination...but the thinking of gewu studies must be reversed, completely reversed."
"The thinking of gewu studies should be from the part to the whole. We should first figure out every bit that we can clearly understand at hand. If we assume it has any laws or principles, we must make rigorous deductions. gewu studies does not talk about the heaven and earth being mysterious and yellow, and the universe is prehistoric.
He Deng, when we make iron plates, we want to get a flat surface. What is a flat surface? To ordinary people, it just looks like a table is flat. We use a water turbine to press two iron plates and rub against each other. The two iron plates are constantly moving.
The friction process becomes more and more slippery, and finally each of them tends to the most accurate plane. This can be proved through mathematics and geometry. This is the most primitive and most accurate plane..."
"To move from metaphysics to investigation of things, what needs to be changed is the lowest level of thinking - not even a certain way of thinking. It is not just patting the head and saying, oh, this principle seems right, this sentence seems very philosophical, just think of it.
That's right. Mr. Zuo, this is what the Chinese army wants to fight against. Today the Jin Dynasty's Dazhuoyuan is learning to study gewu, and Fuzhou is learning to study gewu. I encourage them from all over the world to learn gewu. If they don't learn, I will hit them with cannonballs.
Blast his head off. In this way, maybe for decades or hundreds of years, we can truly understand the way of thinking of physical science and materialism."
When Ning Yi said this, Zuo Xiuquan frowned and said: "But why...the thinking of physical studies is higher than metaphysics?"
Ning Yi shook his head: "It's not that it's higher than metaphysics. From some books from the west, I found that their thinking is from the part to the whole - that's the far west, maybe thousands of miles away, the end of the Silk Road back then.
.I used this kind of thinking to make various assumptions, and the hot air balloons, telescopes, cannons, and rockets you see today appeared... Metaphysical thinking can only be used for some big and unreasonable philosophical thinking. Confucianism has never existed since the beginning.
The idea of educating the world has gone so far, and it has chosen to castrate human nature. Confucius said that repaying evil with straightness, but now everyone knows that repaying evil with kindness is why, this way of governing people will not change in another thousand years.
Already."
"In the form of thinking from part to whole, there are countless possibilities. What you see today is just the beginning. Our innovation in papermaking at least gives hope to educate all people - it is time to understand this set of thinking.
, when this set of thinking has been completely exhausted, and then combined with the philosophy and humanities under the metaphysical system, maybe we can really see a unified world one day."
He waved his hand.
"It's hard for me to explain its necessity and urgency, but I've seen it, and I'm going to push it out. I can spread the ideas of gewuxue all over the sky, and the concept of equality in the Chinese military was born.
He Wen, a man from the south of the Yangtze River, learned to conquer the landlords and divide the land. Now he has established a fair party. Next, whether it is Lin'an, Liu Guangshi, Dai Mengwei and others, or Jin, they will choose more or less reforms. These reforms
Your attempts will become nourishment for the whole world."
"The one who will succeed next may not be our Chinese Army. Lao Niutou may go bankrupt, the Fair Party may turn into a fire and burn up. The Chinese Army may be really strong and easy to break. One day I die, and all kinds of ideas are blown out like lights.
, but I believe that the seeds have been left. If my idea cannot win, I would be happy to see Junwu of Fuzhou take the path of constitutional monarchy, because that will also open up the people's wisdom to a certain extent. I wish him success, and I hope
He succeeded."
When Ning Yi said this, the expression on Zuo Xiuquan's face finally stopped being complicated. He looked solemn and bowed his hands towards Ning Yi. Ning Yi held his hands and patted the back of them.
"Of course, there are many things that can be discussed next in terms of various details. First of all, Jun Wu should not continue these little clever things about my relationship with his master and apprentice. It is of course beneficial to spread it among civilians, but in
In the middle and upper levels, there are some big shots who are loyal to the Wu Dynasty and are willing to accompany the little emperor through fire and water. They may give up their support for him because of this rumor and his tacit attitude. Therefore, he must express his position openly and make it clear.
It shows that he is the orthodox figure of the Wu Dynasty."
"...On the other hand, I can open up the ideas and books to him, but I won't give him the results. He must train his own craftsmen and cultivate qualified materialist thinking among the craftsmen. I can also frankly say that he failed.
, this stall belongs to me, I don’t have good intentions.”
"... Of course, I can facilitate the training of craftsmen, the establishment of factories, the operation of schools and the enlightenment of education, as well as some organizational methods at the bottom, so that they can be referenced. For example, the children you stay here,
Wen Huai has made great contributions in Tanzhou recently. If you want, you can borrow them to go to Fuzhou to help establish some grassroots organizations. Of course, it is up to you whether you trust them and to what extent."
"There are still many things that can be discussed in detail later. Next is a turbulent era, so be prepared to welcome a magnificent change."
Ning Yi smiled: "Chengdu welcomes you."
…
The sun was shining from the sky. Zuo Xiuquan stood on the tower of Jiange, looking at the flying clouds in the sky. It was a clear sky under the scorching heat, and the air was not stuffy. There would be no rain, but there seemed to be something in his ears.
Bursts of thunder passed by.
What follows is a turbulent era...
Ning Yi's words were still ringing in his mind.
…
A few days before this, on the south bank of the Yellow River, the Lin'an envoy who went to the Jurchen East Route Army camp to lobby Zongfu Zongbi was kicked out of the camp by the Jurchens.
Afterwards, a fat man with a kind-faced but dignified face crossed the Yellow River in a small boat. He entered the military camp and met the two Jurchen princes.
There were threats, abuses, and verbal exchanges between the two sides, but in the end the two sides reached a preliminary consensus that they would rest and recuperate the next day, and then engage in an upright head-on battle to remove the opponent's head.
The armies on both sides of the Yellow River began to operate with each other in accordance with the agreed procedures. The mighty Jurchen East Route Army began to cross the river north. Wanyanchang, who was in the north of the Yangtze River, used military tactics to speed up the army and bypassed some fixed positions near Liangshan.
And stopped the burning, killing and looting of nearby cities and villages.
…
In Fuzhou, Junwu, Zhou Pei and others received the great scholars and dignitaries one by one or even in teams every day. The two sides tested each other, perfunctory, or simply pointed out something. Some people left, and of course some people stayed.
.
Compared to Jun Wu's firm will, Zhou Pei's attitude was milder. Because Zhao Ding's granddaughter Zhao Xiaosong saved her life, many great scholars found this connection and came to the eldest princess's mansion to ask if this situation could be resolved.
Something has changed.
In the past, when she was in Lin'an, she played a more conservative role, often discouraging Jun Wu, who was the crown prince at the time, from being too radical and causing bad relations with everyone. But by this time, she had already agreed not to mend things anymore.
The policy of this broken ship.
"Go back, there is no way."
At the end of the conversation, she often sighed like this. After all, she was young. Even though she had gone through many things, she was finally able to accept this path of risking everything and giving it a try. In the end, there were also some old people who were willing to entrust their wealth and lives to her.
Reform has begun to advance, and ominous prophecies and speculations are entering her ears every day. People are predicting their future self-immolation. Sometimes, she will wake up from her dreams, and under the stars, she will look to the east.
sea.
"...You assist Junwu, Xiaopei...you assist Junwu and pass on the Zhou family's world, pass it on...pass it on...ah?"
She remembered Zhou Yong's instructions before his death.
Father...
Can we still... get there...
Soon, boxes and boxes of things will be shipped from thousands of miles away in the southwest.
…
Not many people expected that in this vast world, the flames that were more intense and complex than those in the anti-Jin war actually began to appear after the Jin people's fourth southern expedition.
…
In the clouds.
The cause and effect of things are involved from very small places.
It was more than ten years ago that the Jurchens' second southern expedition invaded Bianliang, the capital of the Wu Dynasty. They kidnapped hundreds of thousands of Han people and sent them north as slaves.
The life of the Han slaves was extremely difficult, especially among the first batch of Han slaves captured during the Jingping Disgrace, nine out of ten had died of inhuman torture more than ten years ago.
Among them, there was once a family of officials from Bianliang. The whole family was captured and brought to the North. The men in the family became slaves and the women became prostitutes. In the few years since they were captured, several members had died one after another. To Tianhui
Ten years ago, the head of this family, who was originally an official of the Ministry of Rites of the Wu Dynasty, once reported a piece of news to his superiors in order to survive.
This news is: His son once abandoned literature and joined the military, serving as an officer in the Wurui Camp of the Wu Dynasty. Later, he followed the Black Flag Army Ning Yi to regicide and became the core member of the Black Flag Army. His son's name is Luo Ye
, they will definitely send people to the Kingdom of Jin to rescue their family in the future.
It was during the Xiaocang River War, and the God of War Lou Shi had fallen in the northwest. The official named Luo hoped that the Jin people could save their family's lives and go to the northwest to persuade them to surrender or they could be used as bait to trap Black Flag spies in the future.
A Jin official recorded the incident, but did not take special care of him.
It was not until the end of the Xiaocang River War that the Jin people, who had paid a heavy price in the northwest, began to pay attention to intelligence warfare. When Xi Yin ordered Wanyan Qingjue and others to organize forces and pay attention to the southwest, this record was found again. But at that time,
Many people in the Luo family, including the official surnamed Luo, are already dead, and due to the lack of information from all over the world, no one in the cloud could judge the authenticity of this information, so this information was once again shelved.
Soon after, a chief inspector named Mandu Daru noticed this information. At this time, only a half-crazy little daughter was left in the original Luo family.
This year was the fifteenth year of Tianhui. Shortly after mid-May, someone came to report that during the recent inspection, the crazy woman was missing. At this time, the news of the disastrous defeat of Nianhan's army in the southwest of Wu Dynasty had spread.
, many Han slaves in Jindi died innocently every day. The original order issued by Wu Qimai that those who killed Han slaves must pay fines could not be implemented for a while. A crazy woman died silently.
, not surprising.
The public security was in chaos, and the resistance and escape of the Han slaves would become fierce at any time. Mandu Daru still had many things to do at this time, but the intuition developed by many years of old headhunters made him pay attention to this matter.
On May 23, a convoy of businessmen drove to Yanmen Pass.
Lu Mingfang was in the convoy and looked back at the seemingly desolate scenery of Youyan.
He was actually a child who grew up in Bianliang. Before he was fully grown, the Jurchens came to kill him. He experienced the war and soon followed his father to Yunzhong to open up the situation. Not long after, his father died. He had been with You for half his life.
Yan is a companion.
In more than ten years, he only went south three times, twice to the Xiaocang River and once to the southwest. All he saw were desolate scenes. Now that the Chinese army had won a great victory and occupied the Chengdu Plain, when he went to Chengdu, he could see
A prosperous and prosperous southern city.
Thinking about it, the memory of the past has almost become distant. What did the prosperity of the Han people look like? When he thought about it, the only scenery that was clear to him was the scenery of the North.
Lu Mingfang died on the evening of May 24th.
Soon after, his mutilated body was transported back to the clouds, and the Jurchens began to spread the word that they had killed Black Flag's leader in the North.
Tang Minjie saw the almost unrecognizable corpse in the crowd. He recognized it for a long time and his cheeks twitched several times.
It seemed to be dusk at the end of May. He walked into an unknown dark alley and vomited once. In Yunzhong Mansion, the killing of Han slaves was becoming more and more intense. At this moment, he was the leader of the Black Flag Army in the North.
The real person in charge.
"Lao Lu... how do you keep yourself measured?" He was sitting in the alley, and the voice from not long ago sounded in his mind, "I mean, you are much more measured than me..."
Lu Mingfang sat there and answered. What did he answer? Although he couldn't remember it, but maybe thinking of his comrades, there was still a smile on the corner of Tang Minjie's mouth...
…
When An Xifu led the team across the Jiange and followed the crowd towards Chengdu, the atmosphere in Jin was becoming solemn.
Zong Han and Xi Yin led the dwindling West Route Army, and they were constantly planning their future direction on their way back north. Their letters were sent back to the Kingdom of Jin one by one, expressing their attitudes on the one hand, and clarifying the facts on the other.
, I hope that the future transfer of power will be completed in the most appropriate way, and I also hope that the senior elders in the Jin Kingdom will be aware of the threat of black flags and reach some consensus as much as possible.
This was an unprecedented defeat. But at the same time, Zong Han and Xi Yin's long winning record in the past can still explain part of the problem. In the palace in Beijing in May, someone thought a lot about the extremely weak Emperor Wu Qimai.
Throughout the letters sent by Zong Han and Xi Yin, the emperor of the Jin Dynasty had an extremely strong will. After suffering from a stroke and hemiplegia, he gritted his teeth and persisted for two years, waiting for the end of the Southern Expedition. On May 25, his consciousness rarely
The land came to its senses and left some instructions regarding the outcome of this southern expedition.
He followed the Aguda uprising and fought with Zong Han and Xi Yin for half his life. At this moment, the dying emperor still used his last strength to respond to the call for help from his comrades thousands of miles away.
…
The sun is setting.
Soon after, it sinks to the earth and will stir up the fiercest wave——
