Jinling, also known as Nanjing in later generations, has become the center of politics and economy since Soochow. In later generations, the smoke and willows on both sides of the Qinhuai River were even more fragrant.

I don’t know the hatred of the country’s subjugation, but I still sing the flowers in the backyard across the river.” In the hundred years of the Great Xia Dynasty, Jinling has not been devastated by war since the Southern Tang Dynasty. Now it is also a place where merchants gather and poetry flourishes.

Something happened to Jinling? What could happen to Jinling?

"These are reported by Jinling's spies and officials, you should take a look first." Xia Kang pointed to the letter on the desk.

Jiang Ning started looking through the few letters he had opened, and Xia Kang continued: "I already know about the imperial business. You have single-handedly manipulated the Yang family into your hands. It is a pity not to be part of the world with such tactics. Jinling

The incident was far more serious than expected. I originally thought that Manichaeism was prevalent in the south and Shu, but it did not develop into an uncontrollable situation. Who could have expected that something would happen in Jinling."

Jiang Ning listened to Xia Kang's explanation and read the letter. After half an hour, he finally connected the information into a complete story line.

Manichaeism was officially introduced to China in the first year of Yanzai by Wu Zetian. It was banned by Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty in the 20th year of Kaiyuan, but it never disappeared. Manichaeism had so many followers that it later gradually developed into the Ming Sect and the White Lotus Sect.

Wait, many of the peasant uprisings that Jiang Ning knew were started through Manichaeism. Now that Manichaeism has appeared in Jinling, Jiang Ning

I am even more convinced that Fang La's uprising will happen sooner or later, and the capital after the uprising will be Hangzhou under his feet. In other words, in the future, it is very likely that Hangzhou will be devastated, but there is also a possibility that history will deviate.

For example, it is the Great Xia Dynasty now rather than the Northern Song Dynasty, and it was not Zhao Kuangyin who ended the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms.

Half a month ago, a large number of Manichaeans gathered outside Jinling City and launched a riot. Although the Jinling City defenders repelled the Manichaeans, Jinling City also suffered a great impact. The city walls were seriously damaged and the Moroccans

When the attack was blocked, the Nigerians turned to advance

Attack the towns near Jinling. They captured Zhenjiang ten days ago and looted Zhenjiang. Now General Tiance's Mansion has dispatched 50,000 troops to encircle and suppress them. They should be suppressed soon, but a person's name appears in Jiangning.

In the eyes of: Deng Yuanjue.

Xia Kang also mentioned Deng Yuanjue. This man was well-read in poetry and proficient in martial arts. He was known as Baoguang Tathagata in the world. He had a diamond shovel in his hand and could go anywhere. Zhenjiang garrison Minzhong died in his hands, so he was able to

Enter Zhenjiang.

"The 50,000 people in General Tiance's mansion suppressed the 20,000 Manichaeans. It shouldn't be a big problem. I wonder why Mr. Xia is so worried? Is there something else going on here?" Jiang Ning put down the letter he had read and asked.

Xia Kang rubbed his eyes: "Yes, the Great Yuan Dynasty had a conflict with our defenders in Shenyang Mansion. They wanted to provoke trouble and then attack from Shenyang Mansion. The Great Yuan Dynasty Yeluji and the Turkic Emperor Li Yuanhao

On mutual missions, Yeluji asked Li Yuanhao to make him the Great Sage and Emperor of the Yuan Dynasty. Do you know what this means?"

Jiang Ning's heart skipped a beat. He naturally knew what this meant, and after a long time he said: "The Turks will definitely not agree to the request of the Yuan Dynasty. To be canonized as emperor means to fight against each other. Although the two countries have been established for more than ten years, they still have to fight against each other.

We are all in the stage of recharging our energy. If I want to be canonized now, I want you to admit that I am on an equal footing with you. If you don’t agree, I will take action. In other words, there will be a battle between Turks and Dayuan sooner or later..."

"Yes, I did not misjudge you..." Xia Kang suddenly stood up, looked at Jiang Ning and smiled: "I don't hear anything outside the window, but my heart is full of things. Zichuan, you are indeed a great talent."

Xia Kang walked up to Jiang Ning and continued: "In this way, the attitude of our Great Xia Dynasty will most likely determine the outcome of this battle, and whether our land of the Sixteen States in Hexi can be regained is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

opportunity.”

Jiang Ning nodded: "Unite the Yuan Dynasty to attack the Turks, and we will be attacked from both sides. The Yuan Dynasty will inevitably compromise, and this target must be us. Only in this way can the Sixteen States be able to get it back without moving a single soldier. The price we have paid is nothing but

It’s just to recognize that the status of the Great Yuan Dynasty is equal to that of our Great Xia Dynasty.”

"Haha, the one who knows me is Zichuan..." Xia Kang chuckled and said: "And the officials are also well aware of this. In addition, the general and the Taiwei want me to enter the capital. If there is a war, I will

If the bait goes down, it’s time to close the net.”

Jiang Ning heard this and said hurriedly: "Then Zichuan will congratulate Mr. Xia in advance..."

Xia Kang was originally the prince. If this operation could take back the sixteen states in Hexi without a single soldier, it would be Xia Kang's contribution. There were rumors before that the Yuan Dynasty was at odds with the Turks. Now it seems that it was with Xia Kang ten years ago.

It has something to do with Kang's departure from the temple, and his return to the position of Right Prime Minister. It is not impossible to compete with Li Linfu on the same court.

Xia Kang shook his head and said: "I am concerned about the country and the people, but many things in the capital are beyond my control. Qiangjun has been promoted to the captain of the chariot and cavalry of the Wude camp, and he can also come in handy. His power is in the sky.

In General Ce’s Mansion, everyone can make the best use of their talents, but I’m just thinking about what Zichuan you said before..."

"As long as you don't become an official, Mr. Xia said it doesn't matter." Jiang Ning still shook his head and directly named his unconventional attitude.

Xia Kang smiled and said: "Of course not, it's just that the disaster relief brochure you brought emphasized the speed and execution of information. Now it is not easy to recover the Sixteen States. I want you to do me a favor."

Seeing that Jiang Ning didn't answer, Xia Kang continued: "I'm still thinking about how to do this. When I have a clue, I hope Zichuan can help me, haha."

Jiang Ning hurriedly returned the courtesy and said: "Mr.

"Okay, with your words, I feel relieved. Take this, you may need it when you get to the capital." Xia Kang reached out and took off a jade pendant from his body. On the jade pendant was engraved a picture of a tiger descending from the mountain.

Jiang Ning took the jade pendant and said, "In this case, Jiang Ning would be disrespectful."

"I called you here because I also wanted to talk to you. After all, I know some things that others may not know or understand. But Zichuan, you are an exception. You seem to know everything, but you don't seem to care about anything, so

What I am saying may be understood only by you. There are no intrigues in the court, there are not so many people and sophistication. As far as the development of things is concerned, it is the end of the matter.

Development, what causes what results, maybe one month, maybe two months, maybe after the New Year, I don’t know when I will go back, so I have some words to say to you first and listen to your opinions.

It's not bad either." When Xia Kang said it, he suddenly felt a little confused and ignored him, but Jiang Ning also knew that in this case, he would only have a talk with him today.

Jiang Ning walked out of the palace with a slightly heavy heart. Many major events would happen later. He tried his best to let things in this world run according to his original trajectory, but he found that although the things happening in this world were similar to what he knew, they were not the same.

It's not exactly the same, sooner or later one day

, Spain and Portugal will establish colonies, Britain will become an empire on which the sun never sets, century-old difficulties will still occur, and modern wars will not be avoided. He thought about what would happen if he did nothing, and what would happen if he did something.

What, suddenly Jiang Ning didn't know whether he was right or wrong.

This was the first time he began to doubt himself. In the court, there are many people who are arbitrary and authoritarian, many who seek glory, and many who form cliques. Democracy, freedom, centralism, and equality have no mass basis.

, the feudal monarchy still has its advantages. He asked Wang Ruoyan, Yue Ya, and even Qi Yunmeng,

For a woman as close to independence as Qi Yunmeng, the final answer is still inseparable from the Classics and History Collection and the Four Books and Five Classics, so some violence is not all wrong. Use violence to open your mind, one generation, two generations, and after three generations,

These ideas will replace the original ideas and become the real ideological basis.
