Chapter 881 Foehn ([-])
"Where is the Bloody Central Plains..."
March.
In the Chengdu Plain, in a small village called Chencun south of Jiading, the civil works that started last winter have reached a certain scale.
In the courtyard at the east end of the village, which was completed first, there was a small two-story building. In the room on the first floor, Ning Yi was reading the messages from yesterday one after another.Juan'er at the other end of the desk is responsible for sorting and filing these things one by one.
Although we live in the south, this seemingly remote village can be regarded as the most well-informed place in the whole world. All kinds of information from the Jin Kingdom, the Central Plains, and the Wu Dynasty are being sent every day, and the urgent messages are mostly brief. , and the follow-up supplements are relatively detailed.
The three ongoing battles in the Central Plains are the focus of attention right now. Of course, the siege of Damingfu has been going on for a long time, and the battle of Xuzhou is still in the initial stalemate, so there is not much information.The situation in Jindi is really changing three times a day. The person in charge of Jindi collects the information every three days and asks people to bring it over. Ning Yi frowned when he saw the news of Lin Zongwu's infighting. , and then throw that information away.
"Blind good stuff!" he scolded in a low voice.
Since the Huaxia Army returned to the southwest, the efforts to open up trade routes have been going to Jin from the very beginning. Later, after Tian Hu was killed, Tian Shi, Lou Shuwan and others took power. The priority was given to aid there, coupled with Tian Hu's ten years of management, Jindi's wealth was actually quite rich.
The division of Jin after Tian Shi's death was actually the re-snatching and distribution of these resources. Even for a guy like Lin Zongwu who had a festival before, Lou Shuwan and even the Huaxia Army made considerable efforts to get them to the top. Even some of the benefits that can be obtained are lost.Who knew that the fat man's chair was slapped in the face before it was hot, which made Ning Yi feel that it would be unlucky to see this name.
"What?" Juan'er came over.
"It's better for me to help a dog than to help him!" Ning Yi pointed at the piece of information and pouted, and Juan'er laughed. She has been in charge of the Huaxia Army for a long time. At times, you can see his relatively unscrupulous appearance.
Of course, it is also possible that he did it on purpose.
After a few messages from Jin, there is also news from the south. In the direction of Huainan, Han Shizhong's army has begun to accept refugees from the north - this is the "hungry ghost" led by Wang Shitong, who has descended thousands of miles. "Yu Bu, of course, is more likely to be the refugees from the Central Plains who have been destroyed and coerced in - after such a long disaster, the number of them is actually not many.
"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, and the number of survivors was between [-] and [-].This number is still decreasing. Due to the fact that the total number has dropped significantly, the southern government, under the instruction of Prince Junwu, has launched rescue and shelter work for these skinny refugees.
To Ning Yi's relief, Jun Wu 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 lost everything and most of them had eaten people. Refugees have had a huge impact on Jiangnan society.
It is conceivable that if these poor people are rashly put into the society of ordinary people, they who feel moral disorder and lose everything, they can do something to eat and drink.After experiencing the baptism of plundering and killing, it is bound to be difficult for these people to integrate into society like other refugees in a short period of time, join small workshops or work quietly in other places.
Such a fact has nothing to do with compassion.
Regarding Wang Shitong's dying request, Fang Chengye also added it to this message and brought it along.
Regarding Wang Shitong, Fang Chengye made a review. In the first half of last year, Fang Chengye should have launched his force to kill him.But firstly, Fang Chengye has a certain sympathy for Wang Shitong, so that his will to act is not firm; secondly, Wang Shitong himself is extremely smart. Although his goals are reckless, he has always been in control of the hungry ghost and around him. All are strict.The two reasons are superimposed, and in the end Fang Chengye did not find a good enough time to start.
By the second half of last year, the Jurchen had already gone south, and by this time the Central Plains had already been devastated.The front-line staff of the Huaxia Army thought that the hungry ghost might still have a certain blocking effect on Zong Bi's team, and the plan to assassinate Wang Shitong, which had a low success rate, was temporarily shelved.
Looking back, it might have been a better choice if Fang Chengye mobilized front-line personnel to kill Wang Shitong at all costs in the first half of last year.
Millions of creatures eventually occupy a position in intelligence, but there are not many.Ning Yi watched it twice and sighed. In fact, if he could really predict the development of everything, it would be easier for him to kill Wang Shitong and disperse the hungry ghosts in Zezhou.One of the prerequisites for Fang Chengye's failure to launch the plan was actually because Wang Shitong was a good person. After the millions of hungry ghosts formed, the success rate of trying to assassinate him inside was too low.
"The thing about hungry ghosts should be archived in the library. Maybe people can draw a lesson later."
Juan'er silently put the information aside.
The matter of the hungry ghosts has already been closed, and what has been passed can only be regarded as a summary. After this information, there are a few local news that may be valuable but may be just lively lace news. The situation in Lin'an City is the most popular among the various brothels and teahouses. The message is a copy, and the matter about Long Qifei is also in the middle. Ning Yi threw it aside after reading it, and ended the first job in the morning.
This was followed by a meeting on the policing system.
Since sending troops to occupy the Chengdu Plain last year, the people under the rule of the Huaxia Army have expanded by more than one million.To rule such a large area, it is not enough to have an army of tens of thousands who can fight, and in the few years of Hedeng three counties, although some affairs officers have also been trained, but after all, it is still not enough.
In the past Wu Dynasty, or in other words, in the entire Confucian system, it was always the way that the imperial power would not be subordinate to the county to rule the region, which was in line with the political resources of the feudal society.But for the Huaxia Army, it is no longer wise to assign the land to the country gentry. This is because the Huaxia Army's program incorporates part of the democratic thinking, and emphasizes civil rights and people's wisdom. situation.
In later generations, after a hundred years of humiliation, coupled with the support of a series of rather rigorous theories and programs such as "Das Kapital" and Marxism-Leninism, this radical change came out of a relatively stable framework.Right now, the Wu Dynasty has been lavish for 200 years, but humiliated for only [-] years. Too radical methods can easily become an unstoppable carnival. It is what Ning Yi wants to avoid.
At present, the Huaxia Army's formulation of "Huaxia" requires people to reform and improve themselves, to have their own power, and to defend their own power, but for a while, it cannot be deeply understood by the people at the bottom.After all, in the past thousand years, scholars have shouldered all social responsibilities, and hard work is the way of division of labor that is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.To make the army "self-improvement", military law can be used, and the people can be awakened but cannot be forced. Therefore, although the formulation of "Huaxia" can inspire people in difficult times like Xiaocanghe, it is difficult to become the core of everything in the peaceful southwest. idea.
So, in the southwest at this time, what can become the core concept?What Ning Yi chose was still the spirit of the contract.
Allocate retired or wounded veterans to various villages to become the spokespersons of the Huaxia Army, restrict the power of the local gentry, and write the basic human rights and legal spirit implemented by the Huaxia Army in Hedeng three counties into simple regulations, which are supervised by these veterans. In enforcement, it is better to make law enforcement relatively mechanized, and to combat the situation where the rich are not benevolent in various places, and it is also to gradually win the hearts of the people in these places.
And in order to prevent the corruption of the veterans by the local gentry too fast, continuous ideological work is extremely necessary.And this model is actually similar to the sheriff model in the early days of the United States.
From a practical perspective, the current situation of the Huaxia Army has always been a military government maintained by the modern military concept. Amid the threat of the Jurchen and the corruption of the Wu Dynasty, it relies on the military record and military discipline to maintain within a certain period of time. its power and efficiency.But if this kind of efficiency is gradually receding—that is, after the reincarnation of the recent generation of Huaxia troops will inevitably return to life—if Ning Yi puts down the concept, whether it is democracy, human rights, feudalism or capital can not take shape. , then the entire Huaxia Army will inevitably fall apart.
So far, Ning Yi has spent the most time on the contract spirit and basic human rights.Talking about contracts, having human rights, and doing business is actually preparing for the industrial revolution and even the first round of capitalism.Because no matter whether other doctrines will take shape or not, the germination of the industrial revolution promoted by Gewu is truly a future within reach for Ning Yi.
In the relatively short period of time now, it is also of another round of practical significance to make this security system operate as steadily as possible and completely complete the control of the Chengdu Plain.The Huaxia Army had about 5 troops in Hedengsan County, but now nearly [-] have gone to Xuzhou, and more than [-] people—even with a certain number of militias—are barely enough to ensure the rule of the Chengdu Plain.In the situation where the Jurchens are going south, if they really want to do something in the future, Ning Yi must get enough fresh troops from his hands as soon as possible.
The public security resources selected from the veterans are relatively sufficient. With the beginning of this spring, 190 literacy enlightenment level teachers in Hedeng Reserve have also been assigned to various places in the Chengdu Plain to start classes for a certain period of time, teaching literacy and arithmetic.
The military's medical resources were released as early as last year.At the same time, the Commercial Department of the Huaxia Army has been actively contacting local businessmen since last year to carry out agitation, matchmaking and assistance. It is near Liangshan. In the past, the business activities of the Huaxia Army have also been in contact with many people. By this time, the real trouble was the tense situation on the periphery of the Chengdu Plain. However, with the increasing threat of the Jurchen, after the Huaxia Army issued a cease-fire letter, the tense situation on the periphery had actually begun to ease in March. Business conditions on the plains began to pick up one after another.
These various things have made Ning Yi now enter a state of continuous rotation. In the afternoon and evening...listening to various reports, holding meetings, meeting people who want to see...when I come home at night, there are many children. After falling asleep, the yard is not so noisy. At this time, the meeting with several wives seems quiet. Sometimes I sit under the eaves with Yunzhu and tell her about the news from Lin'an...
"Ah, now the oiran there is called Shi Daidai, a woman from the Western Regions... sigh, the world is getting worse, and the name is too careless..."
Sometimes I make an appointment with Tan'er, Xiaochan and others to cook noodles for a late night snack. Although it is late, he does it himself, but he is not tired.
Sometimes he calls Jin'er over to press his head, sometimes he bullies Hongti, or is bullied by Watermelon... These times are his most relaxing moments every day.
Actually not much.
Although Southwest is calm, sometimes he wakes up from a dream late at night, and what he smells in his nose is still the smell of gunpowder in his dream.
"What's wrong?" The lightly sleeping wife also woke up.
"It's nothing... You didn't make a trick, and I didn't build a house."
This is a bit regrettable, but it is a very warm memory for the two of them.Then the wife will talk about the children.
"...The battle is over, let them build it."
The topic gradually turned away, and when Ning Yi looked at the moonlight outside the window, the smell of gunpowder still hadn't dissipated...
……
On the north bank of the Yellow River, in the drizzle, the sounds of fighting against each other rang out intensively, and a war was going on.
Arrows rained, horses neighed, shields and gun formations 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 blood-soaked Buddha. With a thunderous roar, this figure crashed into the crowd in front, holding a knife in both hands, and heading towards the direction of the opponent's handsome flag. Hack all the way.These Jurchen Han soldiers who surrendered were gutted by the blood-stained giant and turned to run away. The giant almost cut a bloody path in the weak resistance, and several soldiers who were slow runners were rolled on the ground by him.
In this encounter, the chances of defeating the army were not high. The vanguard's side was washed away, and the defeat was immediately apparent. The generals under Shuai's horse were about to flee, and the blood-covered giant rushed along the crowd. The figure is faster than a galloping horse.
In the rain curtain, one person, one ride, one behind the other, narrowed the distance on this chaotic battlefield. The general on the horse turned around and shot an arrow, and the figure swung out smoothly. As he got closer, the general was exhausted and shouted loudly: "I surrender, spare my life..."
However, the other party rushed up with a roar.
This is No.1 in the world, Lin Zongwu.
The huge figure leaned on the war horse from the side, and heard a bang, water splashed all over the place, the war horse was forcibly knocked out while running, and the general on the horse smashed and rolled in the mud, the general was dizzy, Before getting up, Lin Zongwu rushed to his side, grabbed his neck, and suddenly threw him up.
The body of more than [-] kilograms flew to the side like a cannonball, hitting a small group of fleeing soldiers. When he landed again, his body was already twisted. Lin Zongwu rushed over, grabbed the steel knife and slashed wildly, leading his subordinates. Soldiers, chase and kill all the way...
This small victory and slaughter boosted morale a little. The believers scoured the battlefield and returned to the stockade in the mountains more than ten miles away. It was already dark. Family members and the backbone of the army have begun to publicize today's victory. Lin Zongwu returned to his room, washed and changed his clothes.The night fell and the rain had stopped. He left the camp and walked through the stockade with a smile on his face. When he got to the outer darkness, the smile subsided.
He went into the dark.
Although he is huge in size, as No. 1 in martial arts, the ruggedness of the mountains cannot stop him, and for him, there is nothing that can be called dangerous.During this period of time, Lin Zongwu was used to silently watching the village and his followers in the dark.
In the small square behind the stockade, some believers are practicing martial arts, and some children beside them are also babbling.
At some point, Lin Zongwu returned to the stockade. He came out of the dark corner and appeared in front of a child who was waving a wooden stick. The child was startled.
"... Tathagata... Uncle?"
After seeing it clearly, the child issued such a name.
The child's name is Mu Anping, the son of the crazy Lin Chong. After learning the truth, Lin Zongwu already had an idea about the placement of the child.However, at that time he was still busy with the situation in Jindi, thinking about occupying a place in the world, the whole thing was delayed, and now, these busynesses are over.
Lin Zongwu touched his head and sighed.
"From now on, your name is Ping An, and you are my disciple...I will teach you martial arts. One day in the future, you will be No.1 in the world."
At this moment, there was no grand pomp, and no grand congratulations from everyone. Even the children in front of them were still blinking ignorantly, not quite understanding what was going on. Like this world, dancing in the rain...
……
boom--
Daming House.
The catapult is moving.
In March, the slaughter continued, the originally strong city wall was riddled with holes, and the defense line at the top of the city was in jeopardy. This tragic siege battle was about to come to an end...
Thanks to Gsshen's children's shoes for the reward, there is one more alliance leader in "The Son-in-law" ^_^
