When the mist rises in the morning, there are company camps all over the mountains and plains around the high mountains and low hills near Hangzhou.
The low temperature in the early morning froze the smoke and blood that was still in the air not long ago, and the war frenzy that had lasted for several days had subsided. From the barracks of the besieged city to the Hangzhou city wall, countless corpses, blood, arrows stuck on the ground or on the corpses, and destroyed siege equipment formed a bright red and pale, warm and deadly landscape. The corpse fell on the ground, leaching red blood, and the flames ignited the vicinity, throwing out black ashes. Above the entire battlefield, red, white, and black were intertwined and stretched, extending into the drifting fog, covered under a thin layer of ice after a night.
Occasionally, twos and threes of war horses will go out from the military camp. In the direction of the battlefield, there will occasionally be a shadow at one or two points in the deadly scenery. These are soldiers who have a certain right to go out of the camp. Looking for the corpses of friends, or a small number of speculators in the army secretly came out to search for the property on the dead bodies. Most of these searches are futile, but there are occasional small gains, which can also be tempting.
On the opposite city wall, the light spots of the torches are floating faintly, like a ghostly charm shrouded in the misty sea of clouds and mountains.
Around the year 1000, the impermanent climate of the Little Ice Age briefly prevented the battle. After five days of sieging the city in turns, Tong Guan finally temporarily interrupted the idea of taking Hangzhou in one go, and let the soldiers besieging the city stop for a while. Take a break and count again.
Although the army besieging the city was silent for the first time in five days, the side defending the city still could not relax. Tong Guan is not a mediocre player in the art of war. In five days, the army launched attacks from three directions in Hangzhou. The offensive was like a continuous wave, but each wave of offensive was strong, weak, and solid. The 150,000 forbidden troops heading south were considered the elite of the world at least in the Wu Dynasty at this time, and their combat effectiveness was still far superior to that of a group of uprising peasants in the city. If it weren't for the Fang La faction, it would be considered a gathering of elites in Hangzhou at this time, with sufficient manpower. With the weather getting colder and colder, Tong Guan would have to find an opportunity to tear open the wall several times.
That's why, even if the siege army has stopped attacking. The defense on the city still had no room for relaxation, and no one knew whether Tong Guan would suddenly launch a new wave of attacks.
The city of Hangzhou, which was only a little lively after the fierce battle of the soldiers again, fell into a tense and pale atmosphere at this time, but compared to the panic in the city when Fang La's army attacked the city last time, half of the city in Hangzhou at this time was Has become a rebel, now present here. Another ecological environment.
The vicinity of Xiliu Street belongs to the outer periphery of the Ba Dao Camp. At this time, it has been surrounded by a long fence and a high arrow tower. At this time, it was more like the Ba Dao Zhuang, which was hundreds of miles away, and it had been surrounded by a cottage. To say that this kind of alert is to defend against the Tong Guan army outside the city is unbelievable. Since the complete break with Bao Daoyi, Liu Dabiao ordered such a layer of things to be made outside, mainly because of his relationship with Bao Daoyi. conflict is intensifying. Fang La and the others couldn't fight anymore. However, the real reason that not many people know is that there is something going on in Xi Liu Street at this time. Liu Xigua didn't want to be disturbed, so he took advantage of the topic and brought out the Ba Dao Camp like this.
After Fang Qifo, Wang Yin, Si Xingfang, Deng Yuanjue, and Shi Bao returned from the army, Tong Guan's army was approaching Hangzhou, so they didn't have any conflicts between Ba Daoying and Bao Daoyi. However, after the siege of the city, the two sides temporarily put aside their desire to seek revenge against each other, and each chose one side of the city wall to help.
During this period of time, the elites of the Battalion Battalion, who were ordered to accompany him with Fang Qifo's containment of Tong Guan's army, suffered heavy losses. In the past few days of defending the city, those who belonged to the Battalion Battalion were not assigned too many. task, but try to fill in the gaps in safe places. on the other hand. It is also because no matter how self-willed Liu Xigua is, the people of Ba Dao Camp are still Fang La's strongest supporters. No matter if the city may be destroyed or chaotic in the future, such forces as Ba Dao Camp still belong to Fang La that needs to be protected. core force. As long as the Battalion Battalion is free, the city will not be too chaotic. Even if someone is intrigued to replace Fang La as emperor or to think about the future of the seller, La Bo, they will be afraid of the existence of Ba Daoying and dare not take action.
At first, with Fang Qifo attacking Jiaxing, there were more than 3,000 main force in the Ba Dao Battalion. Later, Liu Dabiao turned back halfway, and there were still more than 2,000 people who stayed with Fang Qifo. In order to realize the strategic idea of dragging Tong Guan’s siege time past the autumn, Fang Qifo led a group of soldiers to drag the pace of Tong Guan’s 150,000 army abruptly. The losses of his men were actually quite heavy. Most of the people in the battalion were killed and injured along the way, and only a few hundred survived.
With such heavy casualties, it finally gave Hangzhou City a lot of time to build its defenses. At the beginning, Liu Xigua gave some of the progress of the battle to the people in Xiliu Street. After the army returned to the city this time, the atmosphere in Xiliu Street naturally couldn't rise. But after a few days of siege, the people on the streets were finally able to rest in the early morning due to Tong Guan's resignation. In the not-so-dense fog, there were occasional pedestrians on the street, and they all spoke softly. In the main house of Ba Dao Camp, there is a window, which has been lit since the early morning. At this time, the two people in the room are having a conversation about some things.
"...Mingui, Sheji, Junqing... When I said it, I said that everyone is equal. It is difficult to understand from Confucius, and it is best to understand from Mencius. Liu Xiyang is everyone in this regard, although his article It's a bit more casual, I'm afraid it's not sincere, but it's easy to understand, and it's not bad. It can be used as a primer in the future... I think it's worth a fight... "
"Since there is no sincerity, why give him a fight... I only allow five liters."
"It's not that there is no sincerity, there is still some sincerity..."
"Anyone can do a simple solution, just go to the street and pull a group of people, there are also a lot of articles like this. Since he is a great scholar, of course he must be forced to write a few articles that are worth scrutiny. Moreover, he has deep knowledge, but he writes simple articles. I'm here to fool people, obviously I have a conflict in my heart, I took a bucket of rice, I won't be able to solve the second part if I don't finish it... I only give five liters."
"Okay, Liu Xiyang's five liters... Guo Jiliang's article is a little deeper. Since I want to beat Liu Xiyang, Guo Jiliang's article is seven liters. In addition, Han Fangjun's article is a little weak... "
The lights shook slightly, and the two people talking in the room were Ning Yi and Liu Xigua who were reading articles. Although they are both serious, it sounds a bit weird that one liter and one bucket are used. Liu Xigua was also in the city recently, and took a little rest yesterday. I got up early this morning, so I called Ning Yi to discuss matters, chatted with each article for a while, and then talked about Manichaeism.
"...that woman Wu Yunying has no brains. Loyalty is loyalty, but she's not from Ba Dao Zhuang, and she's not with us. You have to pay attention to her." There are still quite a few Chinese sects, but the Ba Dao Camp is already strong, not lacking. This sect that pays attention to sharing weal and woe and uniting the power of the peasants has a poor level of belief in Ba Dao Camp. Wu Yunying is the helmsman of Manichaeism in Ba Dao Camp. Liu Xigua does not take her seriously because she It is the saint who is named by Manichaeism here.
"She's fine. She's been taking classes recently. When I asked her, she said that this statement has something in common with the teachings."
"Oh... good."
"But they usually preach, and the helmsman doesn't have much to study the classics. Wu Yunying didn't even read the "Lower Praise", so it's hard to tell her to help reform the teachings."
"Other helmsmen still understand it very well, but Wu Yunying is a bit stupid... But you don't need to know too much when preaching in the countryside. Uncle Fang said, it's enough to be the same as four words..."
"That's the truth... There's not much else to do, oh, a few articles I got recently..."
"If I were to change my name, what do you think would be better?"
"After showing it to those kids... what?" Ning Yi was stunned.
"Uh... Change your name." The girl named Liu Xigua, who was wearing a simple single-clothed shirt but a big cloak, waved her hand lightly, "Let's talk about your business first... Uh, anyway, I'm just asking... Of course I don't really want your help. Take... you are still quite learned, let's see what you think."
"... A child read it and asked some questions. I wrote two short essays. I think he still has potential... Change his name to Liu?"
"Of course... Who is that child?"
"Chang, whose name is Changqing, I'm going to reward him with something, of course. There's no shortage of rice in his house. When the time comes, I'll get a certificate, and you can help me write a word... er, let's put a seal on it, the one that can be framed. Kind of… The surname is Liu, how is Liu Yifei?"
"Oh, take the cover yourself, I'll put it all on the table, I'm not telling Uncle Tiannan... What did you say?"
"Liu Yifei." Ning Yi began to put away the articles on the table. He said this casually. He was thinking about other things, but he didn't take it seriously, and smiled to himself.
"Liu Yifei... No, there are nine people named Liu Yifei on the street... Forget it, I'm just asking for fun. Go back first, if you have time in the afternoon..."
"Nine out of ten, is that so?"
"Yeah, the day before yesterday I heard that the aunt and grandmother of cousin Liu Ahua's cousin was also called Yifei, and Wen Kejang's nephew's second wife kept a cat, also called Yifei Yifei. Wen Kejang wanted to kill him at first. You, ask someone to stew that cat to eat when you have time... You have business, go first, I'm just asking casually."
After Ning Yi left, Liu Xigua took out a piece of paper full of names from the drawer, wrote the new name on it, then put it away and continued to deal with the business...
********************
After the official break with Bao Daoyi, Ning Yi was no longer closely involved in this matter. Liu Xigua asked him to be responsible for some more pragmatic or practical work in his Ba Dao Camp, which is to change the entire Ba Dao Camp. issues of institutional basis. At the time, it seemed like a joke.
The Battalion Battalion has already held its first so-called election, and it doesn't seem good to stop it erratically. However, when Tong Guan's army is heading south, the pressure is imminent, and when the future of the Battalion Battalion is uncertain, it is absurd to really use the strength of the entire Battalion Battalion to cooperate with some "reforms" that are like child's play. But in any case, since we are fighting, we must be prepared to lose, and we must be prepared to win. If Fang La can really persevere, in the future Liu Xigua will be the head of one county and one county, and give her a piece of land. There is absolutely no problem in tossing, what to do in the future, how to do it, you can start to arrange it now.
Thoughts like democracy and freedom are mostly weapons used to fool Liu Xigua, but at the real psychological level, Ning Yi really wanted to do an experiment. Of course, the fundamental issue of democracy has never been a problem of the system, but a problem of people's hearts. In this era, the so-called democracy is just a tree without roots, and few people will think about it. Throwing a system to the Ba Dao Camp, copying the electoral system and imagining the establishment of a Datong world. That is absolutely impossible.
In fact, as far as Ning Yi knows about the poor history, he has also heard that in the history of China, there have been many experiments in Datong society. Some rich people or scholars donated their family property to create a village similar to a commune, where everyone eats big pot of rice and children go to school together. Everyone worked together, and some things were voted on by the elders, but in the end, they all failed without exception. Regardless of whether this is the case in Datong society, it will never be useful to just give people a system. The essence of democracy is the dictatorship of the majority over the minority. To achieve democracy, first of all, we need culture, and we need people to strive for it spontaneously and recognize the legitimacy of their struggle. have such a theoretical basis.
After having the power to act, Ning Yi first took a group of literati from Wenlie Academy.
He held a short class every day, gathering many literati inside and outside the academy. Every day, the relationship between production and distribution is explained, and Das Kapital is taught. In this, a simple social essence is separated, that is, the essence of a country is a group where everyone gathers together to help each other to obtain benefits. In this essence, no one is superior or inferior, and social progress is to make distribution Continually achieve fairness. Then ask people to explain these basic cooperative relationships in any language that others can accept and write an article. The theory of Confucius, Mencius, Mozi, Han Fei, Laozi does not matter, you can use the grandson's to give me a nonsense, if there is quality. Delivery is also possible.
At this time, Hangzhou has turned into a wartime state.
Although it was said that when Fang La occupied Hangzhou, it was still the autumn harvest, and a lot of resources were gathered to prepare for the battle against Tongguan, the resources of Hangzhou City were still sufficient. However, in the wartime state, all kinds of materials have been difficult to circulate, and it is difficult for anyone with money and food to take them out. The Confucian scholars and literati of Wenlie Academy had once again become idlers, so Ning Yi made such an offer. There are articles and food.
Ning Yi made various modern theories as simple as possible. In short, those who have read books can generally still understand them. No matter whether they agree or not, they are forced to be nonsense, and they are far-fetched to follow the way of Confucius and Mencius and the way of the saints. It doesn't matter whether they are right or wrong. In the future, you can use these articles as enlightenment for children, turn lies a thousand times into the truth, and then let people gradually verify and improve in their lives, and show them to others. There will always be some rebellious people who can see that some things seem to make sense. s things.
But first of all, there must be an article. He is bored horizontally and vertically. What he needs to do now is to break up the "Das Kapital" and rub it together with Confucius and Mencius. As for what this bomb will become in the future, he also never mind.
In this way, when he came out of the main house, he met Chen Fan, who he hadn't seen in a few days. He hung up again, with a strong smell of medicine on his body, but he still looked like a fierce dragon. After saying hello, he said that he had been on the battlefield in the past few days.
"For things like war, the first thing you depend on is not your martial arts skills, but your luck... Although you're a master, you're not lucky, so don't go to the top of the city. You just came out from there? , did she hang the lottery?"
"Looks like her luck is better than yours." Ning Yi laughed, "I heard from Director Tiannan that you almost fought her again a few days ago, what's wrong?"
"Just kidding. I didn't do it. At that time, she was on the city wall, and she suddenly said, if she changed her name, I think it would be better to change it... Recently she keeps asking people about this, it's mysterious, and I said, her father's name is Liu Dabiao, it's not very good for her to be called Liu Dabiao and Liu Xigua at the same time, it's better to combine the two..."
Speaking of this, Chen Fan couldn't help but laugh, leaned down, and Ning Yi's mouth twitched: "Uh, what's it called?"
"Hehe, let's combine it, of course... Haha, huhu... I'm called Liu... Liu Da Xigua, you can also call Liu Da Xiguabiao, hahaha..." Chen Fan couldn't stop laughing, very flattering, "Then, Then she collapsed and drew a knife to slash me. On the battlefield, she couldn't get her hands down. I died laughing, hahahaha..."
He couldn't stop laughing, and the corners of Ning Yi's mouth twitched for a long time, and finally patted him on the shoulder: "I think you'd better not let her see you recently."
"Of course, of course, oh, wait, I'm looking for you for something, something..." When Ning Yi walked over, Chen Fan grabbed him and laughed for a while before standing up solemnly, trying his best to keep his face in Chinese characters. "It's like this, Tong Guan has been attacking for five days, the weather is getting colder and colder, and when it really snows, he won't be able to fight. The city should be able to hold, but the master said, with Tong Guan's character, plus the northern war situation Nervous, he may not give up, and he should attack one or two times next. Anyway, when he is free, he wants to see you, let me tell you first, it may be recently, if Tong Guan is free to live , maybe this afternoon…”
Ning Yi thought about it, nodded, and the two chatted a few more words. After Chen Fan left, he stood there for a while before he let out a breath and smiled.
"Fang Qifo..."
