Chapter 22 Abandonment
Time flies very quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it is July 17th.
These days, Chen Wen has risen up every morning when he smells the chicken and then explains "Spring and Autumn" to Wu Dengke who has arrived.
Originally, Chen Wen thought that Wu Dengke came to borrow books after listening to him that Guan Yu and Yue Fei were reading "Spring and Autumn" and begged him to explain it was just a whim.
However, he did not expect that since then, Wu Dengke would come early every morning and go to do some business after listening. Even in order to deal with Chen Wen's thoughts, he began to go to the old camp to find Sun Yu at lunch every day, just to let Sun Yu take the time to explain it to him so that he could deepen his impression and gain new inspiration. This also made Chen Wen start to change some impression of Wu Dengke.
After telling Wu Dengke the "Spring and Autumn Annals", Chen Wen began to prepare for the evening talk about ancient times, which usually lasted until lunch. After lunch, Chen Wen began to meet with some goals that had a preliminary understanding, and it would not end until dinner. After dinner, he would go to the threshing farm to talk about ancient times as scheduled.
After telling Yue Fei's deeds in the first two days, Chen Wen told the story of Ban Chao thirty-six people in Dingxi Province, Feng Feng was punished by the orders of King Shache, Fu Jiezi shocked the nations, Geng Gong's ambition to eat the meat of the barbarians, laughed at the stories of thirsty drinking the blood of the Xiongnu and Wang Xuance destroying the country alone.
As the day passed, the number of people who came to listen to Chen Wen talk about the ancient times every day gradually grew from more than 40 on the first day to nearly 100 on the second day. Today, there are already a total of four or five hundred people, so that the threshing farm in this village is no longer able to accommodate, and this seems to be continuing to grow.
Every day after dinner, people always come to the surrounding villages, towns to the south and old camps on the mountain. After the talks are finished, they will go home in groups. The villagers in the village also sell some wine and food here because of the water.
All of this seemed to be in the market for them.
Although when the number of people exceeded 200, he was about to change to a more open place to talk about the ancients, in front of the crabs sent by the village chief every now and then, Chen Wen suddenly found that his reasons seemed to have become weak.
After the ancients talk, Chen Wen developed new goals through conversations with the audience so that he could meet up the next afternoon. After that, he returned to the Sun family and continued to talk about the domestic and international situation with Sun Yu.
As for Chen Wen, he could only see Sun Yu during this day. These days, I don’t know what he was busy with in the old camp in Dalanshan. Sun Yu had to pay late every day to pay, and was so tired that he rarely listened to Chen Wen’s lectures on ancient times.
Such days are fulfilling and urgent for Chen Wen. Enrichment is that there is something to do every day, unlike when he lives on Dalan Mountain, he always doubts because he is doing nothing. The urgent is that the time when the Qing army encircled and suppressed the anti-Qing base in Siming Mountain in September is getting closer and closer!
It was late at night, and today's story was basically told, but everyone in front of him was still excited by the deeds of Gan Yanshou and Chen Tang killing the Xiongnu Zhizhi Shanyu.
"After killing the Xiongnu Shanyu, Gan Yanshou and Chen Tang reported the victory to the Emperor of Han. I had seen this memorial when I was studying, and there was a sentence that suited my heart. Therefore, yesterday I specially asked Sun Siku to borrow a book and copied this passage, and today I read it to you."
As he said that, Chen Wen took out a piece of paper from his arms and read aloud.
"I heard that the great righteousness of the world should be mixed together. There was Kang and Yu, and now there was a strong Han. Huhan Ye Shanyu of the Huns had already been called the Northern Vanguard, but Zhizhi Shanyu rebelled and did not condemn his innocence. To the west of Daxia, he thought that a strong Han could not be a minister. Zhizhi Shanyu was tragic to the people and was vicious to the heavens. He was Yanshou, and Tang generalized the righteous army and executed the heavens. He relied on His Majesty's gods and the yin and yang response. The weather was so smart that Chen defeated the enemy and killed Zhizhi's head and the famous kings. The barbarian residences on the Touji Street in Yixian County were shown to show that those who violated the strong Han would be punished even if they were far away."
"good!"
"Mr. Chen said so well!"
"I'm so happy to prolong my life, and I'm so Chen Tang. I'm so happy to offend a powerful Han even though I'm far away, I'll be punished. It really tells the prestige of my Han family in one word."
Seeing that the atmosphere on the threshing ground had reached its peak, Chen Wen said in his heart.
I used to see people saying online that "In the 315th year of the Ming Dynasty, there was no marriage, no compensation, no peace, no cede land, no tribute, the emperor guarded the country, and the king died; in the 275th year of the Qing Empire, there was no marriage, no kinship, no kinship, no kinship, no renminbi, no renminbi, no slaughter of land, no slaughter of people, the emperor abandoned the country, and no tribute!", I didn't think anything was there at that time.
At that time, Chen Wen only felt that the Qing Dynasty was wearing a feudal colonial regime, and it was not abnormal to do those things. After all, it was not painful to sell the gods. The previous Ming Dynasty words were clearly directed at it and used for comparison, and they didn't care too much about it.
But judging from the feedback from the audience these days, the word "Gangming" is really not a joke.
These days, whenever Chen Wen talks about jokes such as the marriage between the Han and Tang dynasties, peace talks between the Song dynasties, cedes of land, and annual monies, the audience below often show disdainful expressions, and some even emphasize the story of this dynasty on the spot. Especially after the Battle of Tumubao, the Ming court's deeds that would rather change the emperor than do the Mongols to the end were mentioned many times.
In the Ming Dynasty, the founding of the country was to expel the Tartars. Then an emperor died of illness on the road to the Northern Expedition. After being defeated and captured, an emperor never compromised. In the middle, another emperor went on the battle and even beheaded one level. Even at the end of the dynasty, the last emperor at the end of the dynasty. Although he was far less competent than being an emperor than being a long-distance runner, he still did not choose to surrender to the foreign race.
All of this was caused by the historical tragedy of the Southern Song Dynasty's joint efforts to destroy the Jin Dynasty, the Yuan Dynasty invaded China, and the weak Song Dynasty could not defend itself, which caused the divine artifact to be covered with dust.
Chen Wen remembered that in the process of destroying Jin and Song, the population of Han people in the north dropped by 60%, while the losses in the south also exceeded 30%. The Ming Dynasty had no reason to trust the barbarians because their ancestors had paid a heavy price for it. Just like in his time, although there would always be people in Japan, it is true that most people could not have a favorable impression of Japan's cowardly country that did not recognize aggression and atrocities.
In the eyes of the Ming Dynasty, barbarians and beasts were afraid of power but not virtue. When facing barbarians, there was only one sentence - fight, fight until they were subdued!
This also made Chen Wen consider whether to tell the story of the Wu Dao Tianwang Ran Min tomorrow. After all, the historical background of the killing of Hu Ling is quite similar to that of the present, and it seems that it can resonate.
After thinking for a long time, after the threshing farm was quiet again, Chen Wen, who had originally planned to end it, decided to talk about a relaxed topic.
"After Gan Yanshou and Chen Tang returned to the court, the problem of dealing with the head of the Zhizhi Shanyu caused an eternal strange story."
"At that time, the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, Kuang Heng and the censor Fan Yanshou believed that according to the Book of Rites, spring was the season for burying corpses, so it was not suitable to hang their heads; but General Xu Jia, the chariot and cavalry, and Wang Shang, the right general, quoted the allusion of Confucius' meeting in "Zuo Zhuan", believing that killing the actors and the heads came out from another door was in midsummer, so the Shanyu's head could be hung for ten days."
"This debate on searching for chapters and sentences is a classic work among corrupt scholars of all generations. During the Wanli period of this dynasty, Mr. Feng Menglong made a special comment in his work "Talk About" that in addition to the question of hanging heads that does not conform to the saints' teachings on skeletons in spring, he also needs to ask whether the beheading Zhizhi Shanyu is not in line with the law of beheading in the "Book of Rites"."
As soon as he finished speaking, the audience burst into laughter.
Chen Wen remembered that when he saw this joke in an article about the envoys of the Han Dynasty, he laughed so hard that his stomach aches, but the performance of the people in front of him was not unexpected.
But at this moment, Sun Ming, who was sitting in the front row, suddenly asked: "Brother Chen, the Mr. Feng you are talking about was from the Wanli period, so is he still alive?"
This little light bulb!
Chen Wen really has nothing to say about such naughty kids.
Will you not go home if you have any questions?
Just do you know that the Wanli period is only about thirty years apart from now?
Don’t you know that many things can happen in more than 30 years?
This unlucky child should let your brother not let you go, and copy "Flying to Luding Bridge" at home in a regular manner, and you will not be allowed to sleep if you can't copy it.
Even so, Chen Wen had to answer with the child's gaze of curiosity.
"Mr. Feng is a native of Suzhou Prefecture, Nanzhili. He has written many popular works in his life. I have read the 'Three Words and Two Pawns' written by him, and I still remember it vividly. When the Tartars went south, he published books such as "Zhongxing Weilue" for anti-Qing propaganda, and ran around himself regardless of his age at the age of 70. In the first year of the regent, he was brutally killed by the Tartars."
As soon as this said, the laughter came to an abrupt end.
"Dog Tartar!" After hearing Wu Dengke swearing in a low voice, everyone was silent.
After the announcement of the end, Chen Wen saw a tall man among the gradually leaving people, which was a key recruitment target in his plan.
"May I ask, it's Brother Li Ruixin, right?"
Li Ruixin, who was riding on a tall horse, turned his head, his face as cold as ice, and was completely different from the people Chen Wen had come into contact with on weekdays.
"Mr. Chen, I'm carrying firewood."
ah?
I'm not asking you this!
Chen Wen shook his head and said with a smile: "Are you free? Sit down and chat?"
"Next time." After that, Li Ruixin slapped his horse and left, and the dust splashed from the horse's hooves almost threw Chen Wen's face.
"Mr. Chen is willing to talk to him because he is shameless. This guy is so brave." Looking at Wu Dengke's clenched fists, he seemed to be really going to pounce on him and fight with Li Ruixin.
"Forget it, then next time." As he said that, Chen Wen smiled at Wu Dengke and pulled him around and walked towards the village.
……………………
At the same time, in the second hall of the Central Army Hall of the Dalanshan Old Camp, Wang Yi and Wang Jiang were listening to Hu Er's report.
After the last complaint incident, Hu Er found that Wang Yi seemed to have some special attention to Chen Wen. Since then, he has never said bad things about Chen Wen, but has just reported his recent situation truthfully.
Since Chen Wen started talking about ancient times, Hu Er immediately sent his wife and brother to listen to it, and then came back to tell him. He told Wang Yi and Wang Jiang the next day. It seems that his wife and brother are also dedicated. Even the first day of the Battle of Hunhe was heard from the audience on that day, so Wang Yi also learned some of Chen Wen's analysis of the bloody battle of Hunhe.
However, for Wang Yi and Wang Jiang, this is just a replenishment for dinner every day. These days, the food and weapons transported to Dongkeng have been secretly shipped under various names. The war on the southern line will begin as scheduled next month. No one has time to listen to the story told by a young man who doesn't know whether he will stay.
"Wang Xuance?" The name did not seem to have appeared in Wang Yi's memory. He turned his head and asked Wang Jiang: "Uncle Chang, do you have any impression of this name?"
Wang Jiang frowned and thought for a long time before saying in an uncertain tone: "I only remember that it seems that a book has been written. It seems that Emperor Taizong of Tang died because he ate the elixir brought by a minister from India. I don't know if it could be this person?"
"Have he mentioned this?" Wang Yi asked Hu Er.
Hu Er thought about it and found that his wife and brother had a good memory and were very obedient. He could repeat Chen Wen's words every time, so there should be no misses.
"No, but Mr. Chen said that this story was seen by him from an Indian history book."
"Indian history books?" Wang Yi and Wang Jiang looked at each other, clearly seeing the surprise in each other's eyes.
"That's right." Hu Er obviously noticed this, but for him, India had never heard of it except for Tang Monk's pursuit of scriptures in the West, until this time.
"According to Mr. Chen, this book was bought by a Thai merchant named Geely Country in his early years. Before that, he didn't know who Wang Xuance was."
"So that's it, you go back first."
"yes."
After dinner, Wang Yi took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Wang Jiang.
Wang Jiang took the letter, took out the letter from the already opened envelope, turned it over and looked at it several times, and then smiled at Wang Yi and said, "It seems that I can't afford to lose that 300 taels of silver."
"Let me give it to him tomorrow so that people can't worry about it." Wang Yi smiled.
Hearing this, Wang Jiang frowned and asked, "Are you not going to keep him?"
"If he wants to leave, he doesn't have to force it." Wang Yi sighed in his heart.
Over the past few days, although in his opinion, Chen Wen's knowledge seemed a bit broad but not pure, and mixed but not refined, his knowledge seemed a bit outrageous, which was not what he should have at his age. However, after the day's answer, he did not think that Chen Wen was a child prodigy like Yang Tinghe and Li Dongyang who could read a lot of books when he was young.
But Wang Yi didn't know that in the era of information explosion in later generations, the knowledge gained by a modern person through the Internet within a month was something that most ancient people could not reach in their entire lives.
However, even so, Wang Yi was still not going to keep Chen Wen, or he had a little resistance to the fact that he had planned to keep Chen Wen.
From childhood to adulthood, Wang Yi's Three Bonds and Five Constant Virtues have always occupied the mainstream of traditional moral concepts in his mind, both at home and in school. The king is the leader of his minister, the father is the leader of his son, and the husband is the leader of his wife. This is an eternal truth. Only when he is orderly can he be in peace and stability.
However, judging from Chen Wen’s history these days, this guy doesn’t seem to have any concept of hierarchy in his mind, as if everyone is equal in his eyes, which is too sensational.
If you think about his words and sentences over the past few days, he has no respect for Zhu Yuanzhang, Emperor Taizu of Ming, Emperor Gaozong of Song, Zhao Gou, or other emperors who appeared in ancient times. It would be fine if he just called him the name, but he even gave Song Gaozong a nickname, and even criticized him as having no son.
Is this what a loyal minister and filial son would say?!
You know, even though Emperor Gaozong of Song was a vicious and loyal person, he was also the orthodox emperor of China. How could a person with ambition to be loyal to the emperor say this?
Wang Yi has never seen such a person before, so naturally he doesn't know what such a person will be like in the future. However, after years of studying, in his impression, he always feels that only the demon kings like Chen Sheng, Xiang Yu, Huang Chao, and Liu Futong may be like this.
It is precisely because of this that Wang Yi was very scared. If Chen Wen was kept and entrusted with important tasks, if the one who was finally trained was a new demon king, then wouldn’t he become a sinner of the Ming Dynasty? How would he face his ancestors after his death?
