Chapter 2 On Yang Kang
"I don't know you, I haven't seen you before, but I know your father's affairs." Yang Lian said.
"Then uncle, please tell me about my father quickly." Yang Guo said.
"Have your mother told you?" Yang Lian asked strangely.
"Every time I ask, my mother is vague and often crying. In order not to make my mother sad, I didn't ask after I became sensible." Yang Guo said sadly.
"What a filial child, let me tell you the story of your father." Yang Lian said.
"Your father's name is Yang Kang, also known as Wanyan Kang, is the biological son of your grandfather Yang Tiexin and the adopted son of Wanyan Honglie, the sixth prince of the Great Jin Kingdom. Doesn't it sound confusing? Let me start from the beginning. Things start from a snowy night with storms more than ten years ago. Quanzhen Sect Qiu Chuji passed by Niujiazhuang in Jiangnan..." Yang Lian began to talk.
Based on his memory, Yang Lian told the story of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" as objectively as possible until Yang Kang died and Yang Guo was born.
Yang Guo was speechless after listening to it.
"Uncle, my mother thinks that my father is greedy for wealth and wealth, recognizes thieves as fathers, and kills loyal and kind-hearted, so she is ashamed of speaking out and refuses to talk about my father's affairs, right?" Yang Guo asked.
"It should be." Yang Lian nodded slowly.
"Uncle also treats my father like this?" Yang Guo asked cautiously.
At this time, Yang Guo knew that his destiny was tied to Yang Lian. Yang Lian's view of Yang Kang directly determined the quality of Yang Guo's future life. Yang Guo already knew how to observe his words and expressions.
"No!" Yang Lian shook his head.
Yang Guo's eyes lit up.
"Your father's affairs are very complicated. It is not simply summarized by simply saying that you recognize a thief as a father and kill a loyal and kind person. The reason for your father's tragedy is not just that your father is greedy for wealth, but that it is a multifaceted factor."
"First of all, your grandmother, your grandmother, spoiled your father too much; secondly, your father's master Qiu Chuji accepted your father as his disciple, but did not sincerely regard your father as his disciple. It should be more of a dispute over meaning and a factor of justice. After all, Quanzhen Sect has always been under the rule of the Jin Kingdom. It is more of a purpose of strengthening Quanzhen Sect. Therefore, Qiu Chuji did not fulfill his responsibilities as a strict teacher."
"With your grandmother's spoiling, Wanyan Honglie's pampering, and Qiu Chuji's free-rangeness, your father has not grown into a traitor and evil person, he is already kind by nature. The most important point is that whether it is your grandmother Bao Xiruo, Wanyan Honglie or Qiu Chuji, he has not told your father's true identity."
"Imagine that you are a little prince from a wealthy family who grew up until he was an adult. Suddenly one day, someone came out to tell you that you are not the little prince, and Wanyan Honglie is not your father. Your biological father is a villager in Niujia Village. It can be imagined that almost no one can face such a huge gap." Yang Lian said.
Yang Guo nodded.
"If you want to evaluate your father Yang Kang, you can only say that your father has a loss of personal morality, his situation is too small, and his behavior is too despicable. Your father's biggest mistake is not to kill Zhongliang. In this era, it is impossible to say who is loyal and who is Liang, but he can only say that his position is different."
"The biggest mistake of your father is that he is too focused on using martial arts and lakes. In the eyes of outsiders, your father Yang Kang is the only son of Wanyan Honglie, the King of Zhao of the Great Jin Dynasty. Wanyan Honglie had the appearance of an emperor, and Wanyan Honglie's father personally promised that your father Yang Kang would be the future emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty."
"If your father does not participate in these messy things in the world and becomes the emperor of the Jin Kingdom, then he can join the Southern Song Dynasty and reject Mongolia in the north. Since your father's true identity is a Han Chinese, I believe the Emperor Song will be happy to see this situation and silently replace the royal blood of the Jin Kingdom with the Han Chinese bloodline. From a certain perspective, it can be regarded as a shame to Jingkang."
"Because of your father's special identity, the Song Dynasty will definitely spare no effort to support the Jin Dynasty in resisting Mongolia. The iron cavalry of the Jin Dynasty plus the massive amount of money and materials of the Song Dynasty, even if Mongolia is strong, the Jin Dynasty can withstand it, and then there will be a three-legged tripod. With the Jin Dynasty blocking it in front, the people of the Song Dynasty will not suffer as much as they are now." Yang Lian talked happily.
"It's a pity that your father has a small situation and a low vision. He only cares about the messy things in the world and has not played his true advantages. It's a pity."
"Your father has another advantage, that is, he is dedicated to his love and loves your mother in his life. Although your father's life tragedy is related to his choice, it is a comprehensive factor, and various factors and chances come together to make such a thing happen. If we talk about it from the source, we have to start with Qiu Chuji."
"If Qiu Chuji had not passed by Niujia Village back then, the Jin soldiers who followed him would not have died in Guo and Yang's yard. Similarly, Wanyan Honglie would not have seen Bao Xiruo because of this, and he would have been obsessed with her."
"If the Jin soldiers did not die at the hands of Qiu Chuji, then the Guo and Yang families would not be implicated in the future. Li Ping would not go into exile in the desert because of this. Guo Jing and Yang Kang would also be born safely in Niujia Village, and the Seven Monsters in Jiangnan would naturally not go to the desert."
"If Guo Jing had not helped him later, Temujin would have died at the hands of Zamuhe, and the Mongolian tribes would not be unified."
"If Mongolia could not be unified, there would not be any subsequent Western Expedition. Gunpowder would not have been introduced to Europe."
"Without gunpowder, the rule of the iron soldiers in Europe would not have been shaken. Then the dark medieval period would have been extended by a thousand years, and there would have been no Renaissance."
"If there was no Renaissance, there would naturally be no great voyage. North America would have always been the home of nomadic Indians. Then the Spaniards would not have introduced iron cannons to Japan. The Battle of Nagashino made Takeda win, and Japan would not be able to complete unification during the Warring States Period."
"If Wanyan Honglie did not have Bao Xiruo, he could only participate in the power struggle with all his might. The Jin Dynasty was therefore in a civil strife. Without Mongolia and the Jin Dynasty again, the Song Dynasty would not only not perish, but would not only be unified. The Song Dynasty focused on commerce, so the budding capitalism would appear in China."
"If it develops to this day, China will be the most developed country, far ahead of the world... Do you think Qiu Chuji is so idle that he has nothing to do? Why do you have to pass by Niujia Village?" Yang Lian said.
Yang Guo was stunned.
"Okay, don't be stupid. Since your mother has handed you over to me, I have to take on my responsibilities and obligations. Today, I will tell you the true nature of a world - that is, the axiom is only within the range of the sword waving."
"The essence of this world is that the strong are respected!" Yang Lian said.
"I don't quite understand." Yang Guo said.
"I don't understand very much? Then I'll give you an example. Look, this is the mansion I bought, and it will be yours in the future. I hired a guard and servant. Are they respectful to us, bowing their eyebrows and ears, and they do whatever they ask them to do. So the question is, why?" Yang Lian asked.
"Because the house is ours, we hired them and sent them money, so of course they have to listen to us." Yang Guo said with his eyes rolling.
"Okay, the answer is good, but this is just a manifestation. Look, the villagers in the distance are plowing the fields. The question is, the land is theirs, the food is planted by them, and they have to pay taxes to the government on time. What is the difference between this and the salary we pay to hire servants and guards?"
