Chapter 22 The spring breeze does not reach the south bank of the Yangtze River
“Why is the Big Dipper so important in Chinese classics?
It’s because of the spoon made up of seven Big Dipper stars. If the first star Tianshu and the second star Tianxuan are connected, you only need to extend this straight line five times to reach a star, which is the Ziwei star.
Why does this phenomenon occur? Because people need him to locate the fixed astrological map according to the Ziwei star. This is called the "astrological thumbnail". If this "astrological thumbnail" is rearranged according to the mathematical table of the "Book of Changes", It became "He Tu Luo Shu"... Of course, there are other explanations for the emergence of "He Tu Luo Shu", you can just laugh it off, because it is a statement for stupid people, you must not take it seriously... From now on I will There will be detailed explanations..."
Listening to Mr. Ouyang Zhi's earnest teaching and persuasive teaching style, Yun Zhao said to Yun Yang, "Do you understand?"
Yunyang shook his head resolutely and said: "When I was listening to Mr. Ouyang's homework, I spent more time asleep than awake. Why, do you understand?"
Yunyang shook his head depressedly. Said: "I didn't understand it either, but it sounds very powerful. If you look at the way Huang Zongxi is shaking his head and enjoying it, you should know that he really understands it."
Yang Xiong was depressed on the side. Yun Yang said angrily: "Mr. Ouyang is talking about the calendar and solar terms."
Yun Yang said angrily: "Can the stars tell us when it will rain and when it will be sunny?"
Yang Xiong opened his mouth, and finally said with a smile: "What you are saying is that the "Hetu Luoshu" was carried out by the turtle from Luoshui and dedicated to the Holy Lord. Because it is born with the attributes of a god, it is omnipotent."< /p>
After speaking, he gave a document to Yun Zhao to sign. After Yun Zhao finished signing, he lowered his head and glanced at Yun Yang with disdain, and strode away from this place that made him angry. .
"I think he despises me." Yun Yang took out a piece of warm sweet potato from his arms and took a bite, looking at Yang Xiong's retreating back and thinking.
"He just despises you, no doubt about it." Yun Zhao glanced at the teacher who was concentrating on teaching from the window, and then replied to Yun Yang.
He was also deeply moved. When he and Yun Yang were studying in the academy, the gentlemen did not teach their subjects in such depth. Many things were mentioned in one sentence, and they were not taught in such detail. .
When the two of them were sitting in Mr. Xu Yuanshou’s small yard, a woman in Tsing Yi was walking out of the vegetable field carrying a basket. Seeing Yun Zhao and Yun Yang coming, she pointed to the yard. The pavilion said: "Your husband is taking a nap, please wait a moment." After saying that, he went into the kitchen.
"I don't like coming here." Yun Yang said softly to Yun Zhao: "Whenever I see Mr. Xu, I always wonder if I am a fool. His attitude towards my brother is worse than mine. Have a good attitude."
"You are a disgrace to the academy, and you don't mind that.Do you understand?
Yun Yang glanced at Yun Zhao and said, "You are just mediocre. You don't need to laugh at me like this, right?" ”
Xu Yuanshou walked out of the house dragging his soft shoes. He first looked up at the scorching sun in the sky, then closed his eyes to let his eyes adapt to the strong sunlight, walked slowly to the pavilion, and took a look. He let out a very comfortable yawn and said lazily: "Why did you come to see me today?
Yun Zhao clasped his fists and said, "I hope you, sir, can accompany me to Nanjing." "
Yunzhao's words immediately made Xu Yuanshou's remaining sleepiness disappear. He looked around and whispered: "As the master of Lantian County, you are not suitable to leave Lantian and trap yourself. In dangerous places. "
Yun Zhao sighed and said: "The situation is getting worse and worse, and our arrangements cannot keep up with the degree of corruption. Now, our layout in the north has been basically completed. After Li Dingguo pacifies the Hetao area, the west and north directions will be considered stable.
Our manpower is already in place in Henan, Shanxi, and Hubei. In Sichuan, Yunnan and Guizhou are remote, and our work has been going on. Although the progress is slow, it is only a matter of time.
Now, Southeast, Jiangnan, Fujian, Guangdong, and Guangxi are the focus. Our doctrine and our principles cannot make sense there. The only thing we can rely on is our superior force.
Since I almost wiped out Wang Wenzhao’s family last time, the officials, scholars, and scholars there have become more resistant to us. This is not good, we need these people to accept us. "
Xu Yuanshou shook his head and said: "You are dreaming. It is impossible for them to accept you. Even if you have a lotus tongue, it is impossible for them to accept you. Jiangnan and the southeast are rich and considered by those people to be their own territory. They can still tolerate what you do in the north, and these people even have the idea of taking over the river with you.
If you go to the southeast and Jiangnan at this time and tell them your requirements, I think it is tantamount to seeking the skin of a tiger.
However, I haven’t been back to Jiangnan for a long time. I have been homesick recently. I can take you there to see what those people really think, and then think of countermeasures. "
Yun Yang sighed and said: "Were we a little reckless when we killed Wang Wenzhao's family?
Xu Yuanshou sneered and said: "Kill Wang Wenzhao's family, the scholars there will be afraid. If we don't kill them, they will not even have awe in Lantian County." "
After hearing this, Yun Yang's eyes suddenly lit up, he patted the table and said: "Then kill some more, so that they are too scared to become an obstacle to us.
Yun Zhao shook his head and said: "We can't kill anymore. Those people are very good at writing books and have described us as demons in several books. So, I am going to send them a A more ferocious demon. "
"Li Hongji or Zhang Bingzhong? ”
Xu Yuanshou sighed and patted Yun Yang’s bald head and said: “You still had some spiritual energy when you were young, but when you grow up, your spiritual energy disappears and your whole person becomes filthy. Alas, onlyI can hope you will grow up a little more. "
Yun Zhao said: "The southeast and Jiangnan areas are too civilized. We should send some warriors there. "
Xu Yuanshou said with a smile: "Zuo Liangyu was chased by Li Hongji and Zhang Bingzhong in the land of the Great Lakes. He has no way to go to heaven, and no way to the earth. I think he has long wanted to enter the land of Jiangnan. .
He just lacks an opportunity! "
Yun Zhao smiled and said: "Then create an opportunity for him. ”
After ending the topic, the two of them had a few drinks with Xu Yuanshou and left Xu Yuanshou’s home.
Looking at Yun Zhao’s back, Xu Yuanshou sighed: "Why do you want to go to Jiangnan? Back then, King Wuling of Zhao disguised himself to meet King Qin, but it didn't go so well! "
After Yun Zhao came out of Yushan Academy, he also sighed and said to Yun Yang: "I have never fully understood the world we live in. All I know is Guanzhong and beyond the Great Wall.
The people here are tough by nature and live a difficult life, so they are willing to make changes for the sake of food.
Jiangnan and southeast are different..."
Yun Yang didn’t know where Yun Zhao’s thoughts came from, nor why Yun Zhao thought so and thought so much. In his opinion, as long as the army comes to the city, no matter how tough he is, he will obey.
Seeing Yun Yang's puzzled face, Yun Zhao has no intention of explaining.
Jiangnan, Southeast. In this land, the power of the scholars is unparalleled.
Over the years, Lantian County has never stopped infiltrating Jiangnan, but the results have been very low. Instead of forming a feasible network, it has fallen into decline. It has become a gang-like organization.
Lantian County can rob, kill, and even manipulate some officials in Jiangnan. However, if it wants to form an organized organization in Jiangnan that local people can integrate into, But there is no way.
The clans here are everywhere, the landowners here are all people with honors, and the people here put all their fields in the hands of these gentry to escape the heavy burden of the Ming Dynasty. Taxation.
Compared with the north, the gentry in the south were more gentle towards their tenants and tenant farmers who were named in their own homes. In addition, the water network in the south of the Yangtze River made it relatively easy to obtain food. Even though the Ming Dynasty was on the verge of collapse, giant bandits rarely appeared in Jiangnan!
Even if there were, they were only "fighting Sochi". When the slaves there couldn't bear it, He just took up arms to pursue the deed of betrayal from his former master, thinking that all the faults came from his master, and had no intention of overthrowing the Ming Dynasty.
Qian Duoduo did it in Jintan, Jiangsu. An experiment was conducted to incite the miserable slaves to rise up in rebellion. As a result, two years later, a large popular uprising did occur in Jintan. However, no matter how much money was used to guide it, the slaves there turned a good peasant uprising into a uprising. The uprising turned into a terrorist organization - the nose-cutting class.
The nose-cutting class is just as the name suggests.Righteousness is to cut off the master's nose to obtain the deed of betrayal.
They also exposed the crimes of the landlords and gentry, tied up the masters who abused them, beat them with sticks, and then handcuffed them in chains and marched them through the streets.
They also inspected the property of landlords and punished landlords who committed many evil deeds.
The nose-cutting class met at the Jintan City God's Temple and agreed that all slaves would not serve their masters. If they had second thoughts, they would get together and kill them. Therefore, these wealthy gentry and landlords, who usually open their mouths for food and stretch out their hands for clothes, have to take care of household chores such as food and drink themselves.
Things done are not grand at all!
Even if there are Lantian County experts who are bewitching and killing people, there are still a large group of slaves who think that although their masters are very bad to them, some people are still good and should not be killed.
Next, these slaves, who could only be called on strike, heard that the government had sent troops, and then they quietly went to serve their masters, and some even returned their own slaves. A contract of sale...
It is even more difficult to promote a peasant uprising in such a place. As long as the family still has some land, they will not bother to participate in any peasant uprising and regard themselves as superior to others.
The world is bustling, but Jiangnan is calm and calm.
Now that the experiment has been done, if Lantian County wants to advance its power to the south of the Yangtze River, it needs to re-understand this land and the people on this land.
