"When are the spring flowers and autumn moon, how much do we know about the past? The east wind blew again last night in the small building, and the motherland cannot bear to look back in the bright moonlight. The carved railings and jade masonry should still be there, but the beauty has changed. I ask you how much sorrow you can have, just like the spring water of a river.
Flowing eastward." Lou Yihe leaned on the railing at night and drank alone. What he just sang was "Poppy Beauty" by Li Yu. The artistic conception of this poem is profound, and it expresses the helpless vicissitudes of the world. But it is also exactly
Lou Yihe's state of mind at the moment.
Li Yu was originally the sixth son of Li Jing, Emperor Yuanzong of the Southern Tang Dynasty. He succeeded to the throne in the second year of Jianlong of the Song Dynasty (961 AD) and was known as the empress of Li in history. In the eighth year of Kaibao's reign, the country was defeated and surrendered to the Song Dynasty. He was captured in Bianjing and given the title You Qian.
General Niu Wei, a disobedient prince. He was later poisoned by Emperor Taizong of the Song Dynasty. Although Li Yu had no knowledge of politics, his artistic talent was extraordinary. He was proficient in calligraphy, good at painting, proficient in music, and had certain attainments in poetry and literature, especially his greatest achievements in poetry.
.Li Yu is also known as the 'Eternal Poetry Emperor' for his eternal masterpieces such as "Poppy Poppies", "Lang Tao Sha", "Crying in the Night" and other poems.
The evening breeze blew slowly, Lou Yihe's clothes were fluttering, and looking at the night sky like ink stars and the moon shining together, he felt a little lonely in his heart.
Lou Yihe held the white jade wine glass in his hand and drank the wine in one gulp again.
It has been one hundred and sixty years since the founding of the Yuan Dynasty, but the situation is now in turmoil. Who can save the building from collapse?
Putting the wine glass on the round table next to him, Lou Yihe stood up.
"Since my friends are here, why not have a few drinks together." Lou Yihe was still standing in the corridor looking at the night sky, but he didn't know who he was talking to.
"Hehehehe, Zhang admires the hall master's sharp six senses." As he spoke, he saw a person appearing from behind the roof of the main hall opposite the corridor. In the night, he was wearing a crimson robe with a jade belt around his waist, a black sofa crown on his head, and feet.
Stepping on the thin-soled official boots, the person who came was none other than Zhang Dakui, Jiangnan's political envoy.
Dakui exclaimed in admiration, and immediately jumped up, with a swallow flying three times in the air, tapping his toes lightly on a short tree in the courtyard, and then pacing in the air. When he landed, he was already standing in the corridor.
"Master Zhang is so handsome." Lou Yihe couldn't help but admire him.
Until this moment, it was the first time that Da Kui saw the famous Lou Yihe from such a close distance. Although Lou Yihe is now in his sixties, his body is as strong as that of his prime, especially his eyes.
Contains the essence of light. This is a sign that this is a sign that a person has reached the peak of his inner strength.
Dakui's deep internal strength is entirely restrained by external skills, so he is not outstanding on the surface. Looking at Lou Yiheguang's appearance, it can be seen that he has diligently cultivated internal skills and has reached the state of transformation. Although Dakui is quite confident in his own martial arts,
But he didn't dare to show off in front of Lou Yihe. At this moment, Lou Yihe had his hands behind his back, and he was completely defenseless. Dakui couldn't help but secretly sigh: A master is a master.
"Since you're here, you might as well talk to Lou, please!" Lou Yihe extended his hand to invite, and Dakui smiled and said in return: "Lord, please." Then the two of them sat down together like friends they hadn't seen for many years.
Lou Yihe filled a glass of wine for Dakui with his own hands, and then filled his own glass with wine.
"This is a fine flower sculpture. To get this flower sculpture, I spent a lot of money." Lou Yihe's words were purely joking.
"Wine is not good or bad, it all depends on who you drink it with." Dakui said and drank from the glass first.
"Sir Zhang is indeed generous, aren't you afraid that I will poison the wine?" Lou Yihe said, holding another wine flask and filling Da Kui with a glass of wine.
Dakui chuckled and said: "The master of the hall is famous in the martial arts world and is famous all over the world. How could he do such a dirty deed?" As Dakui drank another glass, Lou Yihe added another drink.
"I have heard for a long time that the martial arts master of the hall is unpredictable, but I don't know what sect he belongs to?" Dakui's words were a bit abrupt. How can he tell his opponent his true identity if he is a life-or-death enemy?
Unexpectedly, Lou Yihe actually said frankly: "Lou studied with Zen Master Huide of Songshan North Shaolin since childhood, and later joined the army to serve in the army. In the blink of an eye, decades have passed, and I can't bear to smile at the vicissitudes of life."
"Then what does the Hall Master think of the current situation?" Dakui asked with a smile.
"The forces of the world will divide and unite after a long time. It's just reincarnation." Lou Yihe answered with a smile.
"Otherwise." Dakui said no, and then said: "In a world where the one who wins the hearts of the people, the Yuanting treacherous party and the chaos of the government led to the disunity of all the people. This is the way to defeat."
Lou Yihe looked at Dakui for a long time and couldn't help but asked with a smile: "I heard that Mr. Zhang once served as the Minister of the Ministry of Justice and investigated the integrity of hundreds of officials in the south of the Yangtze River. In a blink of an eye, tens of thousands of people fell to the ground. I would like to ask, if all the officials of the Ming Dynasty were honest and self-responsible, why did they do it once?
With?"
Dakui was speechless when he heard this, but then he argued: "There is nothing that can be improved by knowing your mistakes. I, the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, learned from the experience and treated the serious illness with an iron fist. This is my Ming Dynasty's move to promote clean government."
Lou Yihe and Dakui talked about national affairs in this way, and repeatedly analyzed the overall situation of the situation.
Since Kublai Khan, the founder of the Yuan Dynasty, most of the emperors have ignored the affairs of the country, greedy for enjoyment, and become extremely corrupt. The ministers have intrigued and deceived the superiors and subordinates. The imperial court has imposed excessive taxes and expropriations, and the economy has become increasingly declining, which has aroused the resistance of the broad masses of people everywhere.
The peasant uprising pointed to the Yuan Dynasty. In the middle period of the Yuan Dynasty, emperors were frequently replaced. From 1307 (the eleventh year of Dade) to 1333 (the first year of Yuan Tong), 36 emperors were replaced. Their reigns were all short. They were all manipulated by powerful ministers and issued edicts.
Or issue an edict.
The emperor became a puppet and could not make major decisions. There were continuous disputes in the palace, and intrigues and intrigues appeared from time to time. Coupled with the backward economy, the majority of the people were in dire straits. The farmers in the Central Plains were particularly miserable, suffering from hunger and cold. The severity had reached an unbearable level.
situation.
In this way, the people were forced to revolt, and the peasants staged an uprising, putting forward the slogan of "Expelling the Hu barbarians, restoring China, establishing a program of discipline, and relieving the people", pointing the finger at the Yuan Dynasty. Today's Emperor Hui of the Yuan Dynasty favored Timur.
He reigned for a long time. He reigned for 35 years from June of 1333 AD (the first year of Yuantong) to July of 1368 (the twenty-eighth year of Zhengzheng).
But the reason for the decline of Yuanting was not the incompetence of the generals and the lack of bravery of the soldiers, but the result of the Yuan Dynasty's regime not practicing politics, not promoting the economy, endless internal struggles for power, and killing each other. In particular, Emperor Hui was a foolish emperor who changed orders every day and went back on his word.
The spirit of obedience to ministers. Therefore, the leaders of local forces refused the emperor's edict at critical moments and did not send troops to fight, resulting in fragmentation. No matter which dynasty was listed, the gangs that were destroyed were nothing more than the rebellion of the imperial court and the mutual hostility of the ministers.
Struggle for power, killing each other and the king's incompetence. This can also be said to be the basic law of the demise of a country.
The Yuan Dynasty was strategically indifferent and did not carry out an organized counterattack. When farmers from all over the Central Plains organized an uprising to rebel against the Yuan Dynasty, the imperial court was still having internal disputes, intrigues, indulging in wine and sex, and turning a deaf ear to the turmoil in the outside world.
It was not expected that the rebel army would go on to bury the Yuan Dynasty. Even when the peasant rebel army in famous places proclaimed itself emperor, the imperial court had no plan to devise countermeasures and could not take strategic measures. It could only issue sporadic edicts and use local troops to fight or suppress them.
In battles, the Yuan armies from various places did not carry out joint operations in a planned and organized manner, but fought independently. For example, Chahan Timur and Li Siqi each occupied one side and did not unite with each other. Later, they went to war to compete for each other's territory; Tu
Not only did the Jian Timur army not join forces with Timur to expand its territory, but they entered the capital twice. Aluhun Timur, the king of Yangzhai in Mobei, refused to be ordered by the emperor and had the ambition to seize the throne of Emperor Hui. This proves that
The power of the Yuan army is weakening, and it is not far away that the country will be defeated and the dynasty will be destroyed.
The Yuan Dynasty failed to seize the low ebb of the peasant uprising army in time and organized a counterattack; strategically promoting the opportunity. In September of 1354 (to the 14th year of Zhengzheng), Tuotuo Du led an army of one million people and laid siege in November.
In Gaoyou City, Zhang Shicheng and his wife were in danger and were about to surrender. Emperor Shun suddenly issued an edict to relieve Zhang Shicheng of the command of a million-strong army, allowing Zhang Shicheng to turn the corner. This was a big mistake by the Yuan court. The consequence was that the million-strong army collapsed, and the Yuan Dynasty
The army suffered severe bruises, while the peasant armies from various places turned from a low ebb to a climax.
The greatest victory of the Yuan army in promoting strategic counteroffensive was in the spring of 1363 (the 23rd year of the Zhizheng period), when Han Lin'er and Liu Futong of the Song Dynasty failed and the rebel armies attacked each other. For example, in the spring of the 23rd year of the Zhizheng period, Zhang Shicheng's general Lu Zhen led the army.
The siege of Anfeng led to the defeat of the Red Turban Army in Jiangbei of the Song Dynasty; in the autumn, Zhu Yuanzhang killed Chen Youliang, and a series of Red Turban armies in Tianwan and Han Dynasty were defeated. At this time, the Yuan army failed to organize a counterattack against Zhu Yuanzhang's troops, and warlords appeared in the Yuan Dynasty.
A melee and a battle between kings and clans. As a result, the Yuan Dynasty gave Zhu Yuanzhang a good opportunity and favorable conditions to go north to destroy the Yuan Dynasty.
Talking about this moment, Dakui was also filled with emotion. Lou Yihe and Dakui exchanged cups, and although there were no dishes, they were still in the same interest. The two of them were like close friends, chatting about state affairs. After drinking a pot of wine, Lou Yihe
He also ordered someone to bring a jar of wine.
This time, Dakui reached out and hugged the wine jar and said, "A wine like this is only good if one drinks it alone."
Lou Yihe chuckled and asked: "How to drink alone? I hope Master Zhang will tell me clearly."
"The master of the hall has incredible martial arts skills. How about you and I compete against each other and the winner drinks?" Dakui stared at Lou Yihe with murderous intent in his eyes.
Lou Yihe laughed loudly and said: "Warriors and gambling? It's very interesting, but I don't know that if the winner drinks, what will happen to the loser?"
When Dakui heard this, he seemed to have heard the greatest joke in the world, and he looked up to the sky and roared loudly that shook the whole world.
After a long time, Da Kui said: "The winner needs to toast the loser, three glasses is enough."
Lou Yihe nodded and said: "That's fine, let's just settle it." Then he pointed to the courtyard and said: "Please."
Dakui put the wine jar in his hand on the table, and then extended his hand to invite: "Master of the hall, please."
The courtyard here is very wide, with a radius of more than ten feet. Dakui and Lou Yihe both stepped into the courtyard and stood facing each other a few steps apart. The two held fists at each other again, and Lou Yihe took a T-step with his feet and extended his left fist forward.
But it is an index finger fist, and the right fist is used to protect the chest. This starting position may seem random, but it is the starting position of the Three Emperors Cannon Hammer.
The Three Emperors Paochui Gate has a long history. According to ancient records: "Emperor Pangu has ruled the world since then, and he is actually the ancestor of entrepreneurship. Therefore, those who have talents to help the world must have civil and military skills. They must have military preparations to practice writing, and they must have cultural preparations to practice martial arts."
With both civil and military skills, it can be said to be complete." Since the reign of Emperor Pangu, the Renhuang clan defeated insects, snakes, beasts, and the Chiyou tribe, creating a vast territory for the Chinese nation to live on. The martial arts method created thereby was later used
People call it the "Three Emperors Cannon Hammer".
