640 [Exhausting soldiers and martial arts and giving up food because of choking]
Jinling University.
Wang Zhiliang did not lecture on the contents of the textbook today. Instead, he took out a fresh newspaper and said: "Squad leader, come here.
Read the excerpt from "The Constitution of Datong."
Nineteen-year-old Yan Wosi walked quickly to the podium and took the newspaper from the teacher's hand.
This man was born in the Yan family in Huzhou, and his family was in business. Although the land was taken away, the business grew bigger and bigger.
Mainly engaged in textile and printing and dyeing business.
Yan Wosi unfolded the newspaper and read aloud: "There is a saying in "The Biography": The constitution is the law, and it is said that the sage king and the heaven are in order to establish religion for the people below." I am frightened and dare not compare myself to the ancient sage kings who stole the constitution and established the religion for the world.
This constitution is the cornerstone of the country. The emperor, officials, and all the people must abide by it. From now on, the imperial court shall not issue laws that violate the purpose of this constitution.
Those who violate the constitution are violating the law..."
"Article 1: Heaven and earth are in harmony, and all things thrive... Datong is a country that inherits heaven and supports the people. This is Datong China!"
"Article 2: The people of the Nine Provinces and the world are all the people of China... All ethnic groups are descendants of the Yellow Emperor, just like separated brothers. The Han people are the elder brothers, and all ethnic groups are brothers. The Great Harmony of China is also the country of China. The Great Harmony of China,
It is also the great unity of all ethnic groups in China."
"Article 3: The country of China was born due to the fate of China and is responsible for revitalizing China. The place where Chinese civilization spreads should be the land of Great Harmony China, and it is indispensable."
"Article 4..."
These students have heard the spirit of the "Sanyuan Chapter" that follows, and the "Theory of Personality" that everyone is equal. They have already learned it in middle school, and it is also a compulsory exam.
"Go down."
Wang Zhiliang asked the squad leader to return to his seat and took out two other newspapers: "The place where Chinese civilization spreads should be the land of Datong China, and it must be indispensable." Regarding this sentence, combined with the newspapers of the previous two months, Zhu
What do you want to say?"
Lin Xiangzu raised his hand to express his opinion: "The pioneering intention of this hero is the Western Regions, Hetao, Monan, Uszang, Nuergandusi... These many territories are all the homeland of the Han family. Now they have fallen into the hands of the barbarians. Our generation
We should be determined to regain it and recreate the glorious atmosphere of the Han and Tang Dynasties."
However, Yan Wosi said: "The homeland of the Han and Tang Dynasties should be restored. But this time we sent troops to Ryukyu, destroyed the country and established counties, students thought it was open to discussion. Ryukyu is a small country with a small land and little food, so there is no benefit in getting it. And Ryukyu is a small country.
It has been our vassal country for a long time, and since it is invaded by Japan, it is okay to raise troops to help it recover. This is a trivial matter. Your Majesty's move to destroy the country seems to be contrary to the teachings of the sages. "
Lin Xiangzu immediately retorted: "You know, although Ryukyu is small, it is the backbone of all countries and has been an important maritime route since ancient times. If you get this place, you can control the maritime trade of all countries."
Yan Wosi sneered: "How can you run a country just for the small profits of merchants? In my opinion, your Lin family has gone to sea too much, absorbed the barbarian habits of foreign countries, and has forgotten the great road of China."
Lin Xiangzu, whose courtesy name was Yuyao, was from Fuzhou. His family was a maritime merchant.
Lin Xiangzu sarcastically said: "Your Yan family is weaving and dyeing silk in Huzhou. How can you make so much money if there are no merchants to sell it overseas? This is not the benefit of your family, but also the people of Huzhou who depend on it for their livelihood. An extra load of silk
, dye one more piece of cloth,
The common people will have more to live on."
Yan Wosi said: "We have great unity in China, with a vast land and abundant resources. The Chinese people can spin and dye the silk and dye the cloth ourselves, so why do we need to rely on the people of foreign countries?"
Lin Xiangzu was so angry that he laughed: "I'm too lazy to explain this. Go home and ask your father!"
"How can we talk about our parents when discussing matters? This is not the way of a gentleman!" Yan Wosi was also angry.
Seeing that the two were about to quarrel, Wang Zhiliang raised his hand to stop them and said to the student: "Who has any ideas?
Zhang Guangzu raised his hand and said: "Teacher, the student has something to say. The student comes from the countryside of Chenzhou Prefecture in Hunan. The land here is mountainous and narrow, and the people make a living by growing a variety of corn and sweet potatoes. When the student was young, there were only good fields in the river valleys in the mountains.
, are all occupied by the gentry and landlords. However, there are many small people in the mountains who have no land to cultivate. There are eight brothers and sisters in the student's family. The eldest brother, eldest sister, second brother, third sister, and fourth sister all died of illness, or died of illness.
Starved to death. Why?"
Zhang Guangzu glanced at the crowd, his eyes were a little red, and continued: "Because there are many people and little land, the land is barren and farming is not easy. In the years of famine, there will be no food to fill our stomachs, let alone buy medicine to treat diseases. Today, the Holy Emperor has raised an army, Chenzhou
The government gained Datong. The evil gentry in the mountains were punished, and the poor peasants were given land, and corn and sweet potatoes were sown. And the landless people also migrated to the north, and the mountain people also lived and worked in peace and contentment. The students were from poor families, and if they had no
The Holy Emperor implements benevolent policies, and even if he is able to study at Jinling University, it will be difficult for him to survive."
Some poor children in the class nodded their heads after hearing this.
Zhang Guangzu also said: "Datong Monthly is a must-read for students every issue. Today, China's population has reached nearly 100 trillion.
It may be possible to immigrate to the north at this time, but what will happen in a few years? By then, not only will the south be overcrowded, but the north will also have more people and less land. Although China has a vast land and rich resources, can it support hundreds of millions of people? This is the reason why the Holy Emperor has already
It was mentioned in the newspaper and also discussed in the "Datong Collection". There is only one feasible plan, and that is to expand the territory.
I heard that the land in Luzon is fertile. This is the land that the Holy Emperor opened up for the people of China. And Annan is the homeland of the Ming Dynasty. It can also be harvested and cultivated by the people!"
Yan Wosi said: "It is good to be able to expand the territory for the descendants of China. But the army is unstable, and who can guarantee victory in every battle? If the external army fails, it will be wasteful and stuck in a quagmire from which it cannot extricate itself.
How did the previous dynasty lose Jiaozhi? It was a foreign land with foreign people who refused to accept the king's rule. It cost countless money and food to capture Jiaozhi, and countless troops were spent on long-term garrisoning. The more territory and territory was opened, the more wars were on all sides. This was the case in the early Ming Dynasty.
a country’s finances,
It can only support the northern army. If Jiaozhi rebels, all the Ming Dynasty’s achievements will be wasted.”
What Yan Wosi is talking about is militarism, which is what many scholars are worried about.
The north is deploying troops everywhere, and at this time, it is also launching an expedition to Ryukyu. It seems that the emperor will fight many wars in the future. An agricultural country cannot support wars on all sides, and rebellion will rise if you are not careful.
Yan Wosi glanced at Lin Xiangzu and Zhang Guangzu, and said sternly: "You yearn for the prosperous times of the Han and Tang Dynasties, but you don't know that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty also issued a decree to punish himself!" He pointed at Zhang Guangzu again, "You said you were born.
Poverty, but if the imperial court goes to war, the poorest people in the world will suffer the most!
Zhang Guangzu hesitated to speak, not knowing how to refute.
Zhao Shilin suddenly stood up and said with a smile: "Are you being sophistical? Do you think that when we expand our territory, we must resort to violence?
Where to attack, where not to attack, when to attack and how to attack are all determined by the camera. It is like controlling floods. If a flood that has never happened in a century comes, who would be stupid enough to build a dike and block it? You should guide it and fight the war.
The same is true. The enemy has a strong and wise king. Why should I fight him? Is it because I have enough to eat? "
Zhao Shilin is from Chengjiang, Yunnan, just around the corner from Yuxi.
He studied with Monk Xingjue since he was a child. He is talented and intelligent and has a photographic memory. Monk Xingjue is not a serious monk either.
Because he could not stand the corrupt world, he abandoned Confucianism and followed Buddhism. Before he became a monk, he was a very talented scholar.
Not long after Yunnan was recovered, the first class of primary school students had not yet graduated, but Zhao Shilin was admitted to Jinling University.
The main reason was that the monks were aware of the power of the monks. During the reign of Mu Tianbo in Yunnan, he asked his friends to get teaching materials on Zhao Han's territory, taught himself and then passed on the knowledge to students.
Yan Wosi thought for a moment and said: "Now that the Holy Emperor is in power, it is natural that he will be invincible in foreign conquests. But what about several generations later? If too much territory is expanded in a short period of time, once the national power falls into decline, all the newly annexed lands will be defeated.
."
Zhao Shilin joked: "If you are afraid of the rebellion in the Hetao, why don't you take back the Hetao? If you are afraid of the rebellion in the Western Region, why don't you take back the Western Region? If you are afraid of tripping over stones while walking, just don't go out in the future."
"You're so silly!" Yan Wosi didn't want to argue with this person anymore.
Zhao Shilin said sternly: "Your Majesty said that when you expand the territory, you just set a national policy. It's like the elders of the clan set the family motto and let the descendants study, take the imperial examination and become officials. What's wrong with this? You insist on saying that this family's property
not abundant,
If all the children and grandchildren go to school, the whole family will not have enough to eat, and eventually the whole family will starve to death. I have four words for you: I will give up eating because of choking!"
"Well said, Brother Lin is a great talent!" Zhang Guangzu clapped his hands in praise.
Yan Wosi's face turned red with anxiety, and he suddenly didn't know how to refute.
Zhao Shilin took out an old newspaper from the past, pointed to the world map and said: "The Netherlands, a small country, has also invaded Southeast Asia. Spain, whose home base is not much larger than the Netherlands, has occupied a vast land in America. The Zhou Dynasty divided the world.
, the princes opened up the territory and expanded the territory, and China began to have Kyushu. Today's world is just like the time of the pre-Qin Dynasty. There are barbarians everywhere, and there is fertile overseas land everywhere. Why can't we descendants of China follow the ancients and conquer a larger Kyushu?
"
The more Zhao Shilin talked, the more excited he became: "At that time, all overseas countries will be our Chinese people, and the whole world will be our Chinese land.
When I arrived in Luzon, I spoke Chinese. When I arrived in Ryukyu, I spoke Chinese. Even in Annan and Tianzhu, they are all dressed in Chinese clothes. If this is the case, wouldn’t it be great? "
Yan Wosi didn't want to argue any more and just said in disgust: "Madman! Madman! You will definitely become a militaristic person in the future!"
Zhao Shilin rolled up the old newspaper and held it in his hand like a sharp sword. His expression was really crazy: "Under the whole world, is it the land of the king? On the shore of the land, is it the ministers of the king. With my sharp sword of China, I will open up the land of our descendants."
Good farmland!”
After shouting this, nearly half of the students in the class started shouting: "Use my sharp sword of China to open up fertile land for future generations!"
The Datong Army was always victorious and regained lost territory one after another, which made many scholars become ferocious. Zhao Han also published territory maps of past dynasties and world maps in newspapers, which immediately made these ferocious people even more fanatical.
Zhao Shilin grew up in Yunnan, surrounded by ethnic minorities, and his thoughts were radical and open.
Yan Wosi felt that he was surrounded by lunatics. If the government was controlled by these people, the country would be plunged into an abyss of eternal destruction.
There are many iron-blooded fanatics, and there are also many people like Yan Wosi. One-third of the students in the class feel that they should not resort to violence.
This is just a microcosm of scholars. When Zhao Han published it in several issues of newspapers, scholars from all provinces were busy holding debates. By the lake, in the river, in teahouses, restaurants, and even brothels, there would always be quarrels over this topic.
