Chapter 1015 The Wave

The May night can already make people feel a little dry and hot. In the imperial study room, the words of the young king were loud and deafening. For a moment, the audience present showed awe-inspiring expressions and bowed their hands to listen to the training.

The night wind blew in quietly, blowing the gauze curtains and lights, the room was silent for a moment, Cheng Zhouhai and Wenren looked at each other, then cupped their hands: "...Your Majesty's words are very true."

"Your Majesty has this understanding, and the country is very lucky."

Zhou Pei on the side also nodded, Li Pin handed over, but did not immediately accept the order.Jun Wu pressed his hands on the table, took a few breaths, and then sat down slowly. Seeing the exchange of eyes of the people below, he asked, "What's the problem?"

Wen Renbuer took a step forward: "Your Majesty's words are enough to establish the future policy of our Wu Dynasty. In my opinion, it is a great thing. The situation of the decisive battle in Hanzhong is exciting. Your Majesty said that you want to let it go, so let it go." Go out...but before that, I have something to say."

Jun Wu blushed slightly: "Say."

"Your Majesty, from the Southwest War to the decisive battle in Hanzhong, the news that the Huaxia Army defeated the Jurchen, as long as it is released, it will surely please the hearts of the people. Our Wu Dynasty has been bullied by the Jurchen for many years, and countless people in the Wu Dynasty died at the hands of Jinren. It is also necessary to block the news. It is indeed not in line with the way of a benevolent emperor. Therefore, I support His Majesty's decision, but under the general direction of this decision, there are some minor problems, which I think must be investigated."

Wenren Buer paused: "First, when the people know the news of the Battle of Hanzhong, how should we let them know the reason why the Huaxia Army won; second, what His Majesty said today is open and deafening. The will to forge ahead and break the boat is also the reason for the revitalization of a country. So, when we release the news of the decisive battle in the Southwest, do we simply share the joy with the people, or hope that when they know the news and feel relieved, they can also feel it. With the same determination and sense of urgency as His Majesty, according to Wei Chen, if we want to achieve the best effect, we must make certain modifications..."

His words were not fast, and his words were carefully considered.For a long time, Junwu's temperament is relatively modest, conservative, and good at accepting advice. Although he is generous at the moment of life and death, he is just doing what should be done.To be so impassioned today is obviously greatly motivated by the Southwest War, and has his own real understanding of the word aggressive.

Whether it is the way of the king or the grand strategy of a country, radicalism and conservatism are not wrong in many cases. What is more important is that the person at the helm chooses a direction and then carries out a series of correct advancements.Although Jun Wu's choice seems difficult, it is definitely not unreasonable. Even in the deepest part of his heart, everyone is more willing to move in this direction.

When Wenren Buer said this, Jun Wu sat up slowly, his eyes lit up: "It makes sense, what I said just now was reckless, I drank some wine... There is a lot of room for manipulation in this matter... "

Wen Renbuer nodded: "The Huaxia Army's defeat of the Jurchen in the Southwest War and the Hanzhong Battle means that the turning point of the world is not an exaggeration. Then, how to turn the world and where do we want the world to turn? For example, Your Majesty used to think To promote the study of Gewu, there is a lot of resistance from the court and the people, and many people don't know the benefits of Gewu, so now is an excellent opportunity..."

"It makes sense, it makes sense..." Jun Wu knocked on the table, then got up and took down several wooden models on the back wall, "I have been inquiring about people these days, the Chinese army used it in the Battle of Wangyuan Bridge What is the weapon? In fact, the principle is that it is a big second kicker, but their medicine filling is more powerful, and the flying is more accurate. This is what the Huaxia Army used to take 7000 Yanshanwei with [-] people..."

The sky is full of stars, and the night of Fuzhou City is quiet. It is also against this quiet background. When the emperor in the imperial study talked about the study of objects, his eyes lit up, and he couldn't help jumping. Realized something, and the mood became more excited.Zhou Pei walked out of the room and ordered his servants to prepare porridge and rice for supper. In the study, the voices of Cheng Zhouhai and Li Pin also occasionally sounded.

"... Regarding the advancement of the matter of the Ministry of Industry, this is also an excellent reason..."

"... Regarding the concept of the Huaxia Army's military governance, I can also deduce it..."

"...This matter needs to be quick, but also needs to be comprehensive, and be fully prepared..."

"...In addition, you might as well order General Yue to take Quanzhou quickly, so you don't have to wait any longer..."

There was chatter in the room, and after a while, another staff member was called to discuss more matters.Zhou Pei walked out of the courtyard and walked to the quiet courtyard next door. By candlelight, she read all the information about the entire Southwest Campaign brought by her servants one by one, page by page. , I kept seeing Wanyan Sheyema being killed and Zong Han Xiyin fleeing in despair.

Then sat quietly for a long time.

……

The early morning of the first day of May gradually passed, and the sea level in the east rose slightly pale.The curfew was lifted, the fishermen began to prepare for the sea, the port and wharf officials were counting, and the refugees gathered in the east of the city were waiting for the early morning porridge and the start of the daytime statistics into the city. The city seemed to be busy again. But on an ordinary day, Li Pin, who hastily washed himself, rode through the streets of the city in a carriage.

Noisy.

There were many emotions brewing in his heart, and he pinched his fingers lightly, counting the names one by one.

When he returned to the courtyard where he lived, he immediately summoned his servants, employees of the newspaper, and Confucian scholars who sat here to discuss the Tao and help from time to time, and quickly began to issue orders and arrange work.

Some people were assigned to be in charge of meals, some were to be in charge of chariots and horses immediately, and more people received a list one by one, and began to recruit people from all over the city... This is the manpower reserve that has been paid attention to in the past few months. They are all young Confucians with radical thinking, and there are also some older Confucians with active thinking, but only a small part of them.

The people who received the order left the newspaper courtyard and merged into the bustling crowd, just like water drops into the sea.For Fuzhou, where tens of thousands of people gather at the moment, their total number is not many, but something has been brewing in such a deep sea...

……

The sun gradually rose, illuminating the city slightly hot.

Something big is going to happen...

At the end of the hour, Chen Cangji, who walked through the streets of Fuzhou and arrived at Feng Heng Academy in the west, felt a different atmosphere. Many Confucian scholars had already gathered here.Some of them are old acquaintances with each other, even if they don't know each other, you can see that many people have extraordinary bearing. They were all summoned by Li Pin, and Li Pin was near the emperor's side The popular people gathered in such a hasty way, it was obvious that they were about to make a big move.

People who are acquainted communicate with each other, but nothing is gained for a while.

Around Si time, it is estimated that hundreds of people have come here, and I saw Li Pin coming from outside.He first greeted everyone roughly, and then went to the steps in front of the courtyard—the inner courtyard of the academy is a closed structure on all sides, so he could speak clearly—he stood by a table, waved his hand to silence everyone, and then Clasping his hands, he restrained his smile: "Everyone can treat this gathering as an imperial examination."

This sentence is very heavy.

After finishing speaking, the crowded crowd in the courtyard seemed to be a little quieter than before, and people thought in their hearts: The emperor is going to hire someone.

Of course, many years later, more people will remember the words they heard later on this day.

Li Pin looked around in silence, and then said: "What I want to tell you today is some very important things, and you will be surprised and shocked. Because there are so many people, I would like to ask everyone to prepare first. No matter what kind of news you hear, please don't make noise for the time being, don't talk to each other, starting today, there will be countless hours of discussion... Then, I will start talking."

He pressed the table with one hand, and immediately stepped on the stool to go to the Eight Immortals table. Standing on a high place, he could see clearly even the people at the end of the courtyard, and then he continued:
"What I want to tell you today is the decisive battle between the Huaxia Army and the Jin Guoxi Road Army in the southwest... About this incident, bits and pieces of news have been passed around in Fuzhou in the past few months. I know that everyone present here has heard a lot, but the external situation is chaotic, and all kinds of news are strange. What you hear may not be true. For some reason, before this, the court did not explain it to you in detail. I heard about these messages... But starting today, these messages will be published, including the messages that took place before and after the entire war in the southwest, and the information received by the court will be shared with everyone, and then through the articles you write, Through the newsprint, inform the people of the world!"

There was a faint "hum" sound in the crowd, but it was still quiet immediately. Li Pin took a breath: "The first thing I can tell you is that the war in the Southwest has been fought. April 24, The decisive battle in Hanzhong ended, Wanyan Zonghan and Wanyan Xiyin attacked Qin Shaoqian's 2 people with an army of 2, and were defeated by [-] people! Qin Shaoqian chopped up his son Wanyan Shiyema in front of Zonghan, Zong Hanxiyin fled in embarrassment, and since then, the Jurchen West Road army has been completely defeated in the process of going south, and there are not many people left..."

"...Quiet! I know you are all very curious. I will show you all the information later... After receiving such news, the court actually had two thoughts. One of them is of course to block the news. Wu Chao and I Everyone knows about the discord in the Huaxia Army, and some people think that this news should not be revealed, it is to make the enemy's ambition destroy their own prestige, but in the early morning of this morning, His Majesty said something..."

"Everyone! Your Majesty said so—"

Li Pin bowed on the table, and then began to repeat what Jun Wu said aloud. There were modifications and deletions in it, but the ambition of striving to catch up was all conveyed in the words.Someone couldn't help but speak, and there was another thin "buzzing" sound in the yard.After Li Pin finished his retelling, he waited for a while.

"Everyone! Your Majesty's words are indeed the words of a Mingjun and a sage, but what is the deep meaning of your Majesty's words? In these years, the Wu Dynasty has never defeated the Jurchens, and the Huaxia Army in the Southwest has won. There must be their reasons for defeating the Jurchens. We can fight against the Huaxia Army, but we cannot ignore this reason. We must open our eyes to see why they are so powerful. We must learn what is good, and catch up with what is not enough! The world is changing, these days I sit and discuss with you, one thing is clear, sticking to the rules will not work—”

"Why do you want to release all the news about the Southwest - I tell everyone that many adults in the court are unwilling, but we have to face up to the Huaxia Army and learn their benefits. This matter can't be done in a day or two , nor can it be explained clearly in a few words. So starting today, His Majesty hopes that a group of people with flexible thinking can start to learn to face it and analyze it..."

"You have to find out the reasons why the Huaxia Army is strong, and use your articles to tell the people of the world these reasons! You have to tell the people of the world what we are going to do! At the same time, you must not think that the Huaxia Army defeated the Kingdom of Jin, So as long as the Huaxia Army must be good, you have to see for the people of the world what problems and shortcomings the Huaxia Army has! You also have to tell the people of the world what we can’t do and why we can’t do it—”

"You are all smart people who have studied writing all their lives and hope to serve the country with a useful body. Everyone, the Wu Dynasty has been in danger for more than two hundred years. When we arrived in Fuzhou, there was no way to retreat. Many people knelt down , the small imperial court in Lin'an knelt down, countless people knelt down, and the Huaxia Army repelled the Jurchens for a while, but they were extreme, they killed the emperor, they wanted to destroy my Confucianism... Their way is not going to work, but ours The road needs to be corrected, we have to watch and learn from it, learn its good points, and avoid its bad points!"

"Next, you don't just look at the information about the Huaxia Army. Why did you gather here today? Where is it next to Feng Heng Academy? Some of you know it, and some of you don't. In a branch after coming here, the Huaxia Army promotes the study of gewu, delving into the rules of everything in the world. Regarding the various strange weapons and firearms that appeared on the battlefield during the Southwest War, especially during the battle of Wangyuan Bridge, gewu The Academy has already started deduction and research, these are some of the most important things about the Huaxia Army and the future of this world, and everyone will have the opportunity to see and understand them later."

"And if you understand it, you will be able to tell all people in the world what the so-called Gewu in Southwest China is."

Li Pin paused: "The report on the Southwest and Hanzhong battles is expected to be published in the newspaper tomorrow. You should read and think about it today. Of course, if there is a good article, I can give it to me tonight, maybe tomorrow. It may first appear in the newspapers. But in general, there is no need to worry. You can write about this war according to your ideas, and write about the principles and lessons in it. If you write well, you will be able to spend the next month or several months. , we will put it on the newsprint, distribute it to the world one after another, and even make it into a book, your words will be read by countless people, even your majesty will read your articles..."

"Next, if you have any ideas, you can tell me, privately or publicly."

The sun had already risen, and the city was as busy as usual. Li Pin spoke hoarsely in the yard, with sweat dripping from his forehead. After a short while, various voices rang out one after another, and he began to talk one after another. answer.

Those who gathered here were only the first group of people he could think of. There might not be many people who could be used, but it didn't matter. More people would come one after another.The dawn of a revolution was emerging, of course not many people could have imagined its significance at the time.

When Li Pin talked about these things in Feng Heng Academy, Jun Wu had personally asked about various things about Gewuyuan, including how to introduce the principles of Gewu to those visiting scholars, how to choose words, and how to scare and scare people.In the court, arrangements for the reform of the Ministry of Industry were brewing, and in private, Cheng Zhouhai took over the work of spreading various public opinions and rumors.Although the people of the world are entitled to know the news of the Jurchen's fiasco in the southwest, it doesn't mean they have to build momentum for the Huaxia Army.This is an adult world.

The order to instruct Yue Fei to stop the slow negotiations and quickly capture Quanzhou has also galloped along the road with the horses.

It was raining heavily in Lin'an, with occasional thunder.

A few days later, Wu Qimei and others received the news and learned of the unusual movement in the direction of Fuzhou...

　I recommend a new book about spy wars in the Republic of China, "The Spy", which is written very sophisticatedly and sincerely: forensic doctor Lin Jiangbei traveled to the Republic of China by accident and became an agent of the military command.He used his own identity to hunt down Japanese spies, help underground organizations, and compose a passionate legend of Chinese men in this age of gunpowder!
