Chapter 514 is nothing more than for the sake of mastery of ideas
After seeing Emperor Zhao off, Feng Zhou sat there, deep in thought.
Feng Zhou didn't pay much attention to the Northern Expedition at first.
But when Zhao asked him to be the head coach, Feng Zhou was tempted.
A few months ago, during the quarrying battle, Feng Zhou assisted Yu Yunwen in defeating a hundred thousand Jin army and captured the Jin Emperor Wan Yanliang alive, thereby becoming famous and powerful throughout the world.
At the same time, he also gained a large amount of merit and faith power. After several months of accumulation, his whole body's magic power has broken through to the intermediate level of Shodu Realm.
If he could lead the Northern Expedition, recover the Central Plains, and even recapture Youyan, then his reputation in the hearts of the people would rise to an unparalleled level.
This kind of illustrious martial arts that improves the morale of the army and the people, the reputation value and the power of merit gained are immeasurable. It may be possible to break through the mortal body in one fell swoop and embark on the path of immortality.
Of course, if you are on an expedition to the north and preaching at the same time, and every place you pass is filled with believers, then it is possible that you will ascend during the day.
Historically, the Longxing Northern Expedition launched by Emperor Xiaozong Zhao of the Song Dynasty left hidden dangers for subsequent failures from its initial victory.
Initially, the Song army was divided into two groups: one led by Li Xianzhong to receive the Lingbi, and the other led by Shao Hongyuan to capture Hong County.
In May, Li Xianzhong successfully captured Lingbi, but Shao Hongyuan was unable to attack Hongxian for a long time. Li Xianzhong then sent Lingbi soldiers to persuade him to surrender, and the Hongxian defender gave up resistance. Shao Hongyuan was ashamed that Hongxian's military exploits were not his own, and responded to
Li Xianzhong was resentful. Li Xianzhong took advantage of the victory to attack Suzhou, but Shao Hongyuan did not move.
Xiaozong was greatly encouraged by the capture of Suzhou, but the conflict between the two generals on the front line tended to intensify. Xiaozong promoted Li Xianzhong to Huainan, Jingdong, and Hebei as envoy, and Shao Hongyuan as deputy envoy. However, he was humiliated under Li and expressed to Zhang Jun that he refused to accept Li Xianzhong's appointment.
Temperance. Zhang Jun accommodated Shao Hongyuan's request. Later, Li Xianzhong and Shao Hongyuan had a dispute over the reward from the Suzhou treasury, and people's hearts were unstable.
Soon Jin general He Shi Liezhining led an army of more than 10,000 men to attack Suzhou, and was defeated by Li Xianzhong. However, the main force of 100,000 Jin troops arrived immediately. Li Xianzhong fought hard, but Shao Hongyuan did not move. The morale of the army was immediately weakened.
At night, Shao Hongyuan's central army controlled Zhou Hong's rumored rebel army, and the Song army collapsed without a fight. The Jin army took advantage of the opportunity to attack the city, and Li Xianzhong killed more than two thousand enemies. Finally, it was difficult to prevent the defeat, so he led his troops to retreat. However, the Song army did not go far.
The whole line collapsed, and all military supplies and equipment were lost. Fortunately, the Jin army did not know the details and did not pursue rashly, and the Song army gained a foothold on the Huaihe River. The old county of Suzhou was named Fuli, so history calls this defeat the "Fulli Rout".
"The Collapse of Fuli" dealt a major blow to Xiaozong's ambition, and he began to waver between war and peace. In the end, the Southern Song Dynasty gave up the recovered six states of Hai, Si, Tang, Deng, Shang, and Qin, and the borders between the two sides resumed the Shaoxing Peace Conference.
original condition.
It is said that the right time is not as good as the right place, and the right place is not as good as the people. Internal disputes led to the complete failure of the Longxing Northern Expedition.
However, if Feng Zhou, a powerful man, is now the head coach of the Northern Expedition, this kind of thing will never happen.
But if anyone dares to disturb the morale of the army, Feng Zhou will kill him and his team as soon as possible.
Even if everyone is killed in the end, Feng Zhou is guaranteed to be able to gather 100,000 soldiers and sweep across the Central Plains.
…
Feng Zhou walked out of the quiet room with his face as usual and continued to preach the Taoist mantra to his disciples.
"We not only have to practice Taoism, but we also have to preach. But when we preach, sometimes everything goes well, but more often we always encounter various problems. Therefore, in order to solve the problems that come, we need to figure out one problem, who
Who are our enemies of Quanzhen Religion? Who are our friends of Quanzhen Religion? This is our primary question in spreading Quanzhen Religion."
"You must know that in the disputes between Buddhism and Taoism throughout the ages, we Taoists have always lost more and won less. The basic reason is not that Buddhism has great magical powers, but that we cannot unite real friends to attack real enemies. Quanzhen Religion is
A guiding light for the people,
The people are in trouble. Most of them are caused by Buddhism, Taoism, and even the government's inaction or even excessive taxation, which leads to the suffering of the people. We, the Quanzhen Sect, want to bring good news to the world, and we must pay attention to uniting our true friends in order to attack our true friends.
Enemies. If we want to distinguish real friends from enemies, we must make a rough analysis of the economic status of various classes in Song Dynasty society and their attitudes towards the Quanzhen Religion."
"To do this analysis, we need to work hard to investigate everywhere. Although this investigation has not yet been carried out, we have already produced results."
"Our Wutai Mountain group has already had sufficient inspection experience. Next, I will release funds. You are all eight, each of you will bring four young assistants to each area to conduct in-depth inspections. You must communicate with local landlords, gentry, cultural
Have detailed exchanges with scholars, business travelers, craftsmen, and farmers. The more exchanges you have, the deeper your understanding of the Quanzhen Religion will be, and it will also promote the growth of your magic power."
"In general, if you want to cultivate perfection and gain supernatural powers and immortality, you have to put down your arrogance and inspect and communicate around. The more you gain, the more helpful it will be for your Taoist practice."
Feng Zhou talked eloquently, and all the disciples bowed to listen.
Over the past few months, Feng Zhou has taught everyone his Taoist cultivation skills, and everyone has gained something and achieved success.
But if they want to achieve greatness and become a great master, they must understand the world, life, and society.
It is said that only when you can see yourself and all sentient beings can you see the heaven and earth.
In fact, when cultivating Taoism, practicing Buddhism, studying and practicing martial arts, or even governing the country, you must remember to do things behind closed doors. Instead, you should be inclusive, learn from the strong points, discard the weak points, and constantly improve, so that you can achieve great achievements.
Flowering before and after the moon, they will only become flowers in the greenhouse, vulnerable to attack.
"Botong, you take your four junior brothers and visit Jiangnan East Road."
"Ma Yu, you and Fuji, each with four junior brothers, visited Liangzhe East Road and Liangzhe West Road."
"Qiu Chuji, you and your four junior brothers are visiting Jiangnan West Road."
"Wang Chuyi, Tan Chuduan, each of you will take your four junior brothers to visit Jinghu South Road and Jinghu North Road."
"Liu Chuxuan, Hao Datong, each of you will take four junior brothers to visit Fujian Road and Chengdu Fuxing Road respectively."
Seeing all the disciples bowing to accept the order, Feng Zhou nodded and continued: "This visit and inspection lasts for one year. It is not about preaching and teaching, but about allowing you to go deep among the people, truly understand them, and combine it with the Taoism and Dharma you practice.
, and finally be able to find your own path, and remember that the path to becoming an immortal is based on the reputation in the hearts of the people."
"Disciple, accept the order!" Everyone bowed and agreed.
After the disciples retreated, Xiaoqing came over, took a cup of tea, and asked: "My lord, you assigned the disciples to different places. Could it be that something big happened in Lin'an?"
"It's true that something big happened in Lin'an. I sent my disciples to various places to investigate, but it's not just to help them escape from the whirlpool. The biggest role is to help them truly practice Taoism."
"Then what will happen in Lin'an? Even my husband will treat it with caution?" Xiao Qing looked confused.
She had been married to Feng Zhou for several months, and had long since broken away from the life of a girl who had been in love for three years. Her understanding of the general trend of the world was not that of Wu Xia Amen. In addition, she had five hundred years of experience and knew that in Feng Zhou's words,
There is a big storm about to happen.
Feng Zhou smiled: "It's nothing more than killing people and having clear ideas."
