Fan Yinbin said: "Xuanfu won the battle, so the imperial court sent people to ask for artillery. The question is, can the imperial court use the artillery?"
Zheng Gangzhong sighed: "Before I came to the west of Beijing, I would have thought that Wang Xuanfu won the battle with artillery, and other armies could too. After I came here, I realized that this is not necessarily true. I don't know much about the army. , but looking at the place, which other place can compare with Xuanfu's rule? The methods used by Xuanfu are actually not complicated to say. Can't they learn from those that are close to each other, such as Jingzhou and De'an? I just learned it, but in the end I never learned how to look like it.”
The others nodded in agreement.
Wang Xiaolie's method seems not complicated at first glance. But when I really wanted to learn it, I found that it was inconsistent with the existing system. If you want to truly make it look like it was under Wang Xiaolie's rule, almost everything needs to be changed. But if you change everything, can you succeed? In fact, I still can’t learn.
This is similar to later generations. As Europe rises, how many countries need to learn from it? But how many of them have actually learned it?
Radical people feel that their country is not good in everything and everything must be the same as the Europeans. Just like the cultural scholars in Chinese history, for a period of time, many people advocated that even Chinese characters should be changed and all traditional culture should be smashed. According to this method, can we learn about Europe? Kidding.
It took Europe hundreds of years to rise, and it took hundreds of years for the rest of the world to learn from it. Apart from the Americas and Australia, only a few countries in East Asia have really caught up with Europe. Why? Wang Xiaolie couldn't explain the reason, but it was definitely not a coincidence as many people said.
But one thing is that no one will succeed if they completely give up themselves and copy others. Those who have studied in Europe for a period of time feel that they understand astronomy at the upper level and geography at the lower level. They can point here and there, but they are actually of little use to the motherland.
The so-called learning means knowing what is happening but also knowing why it is happening, and using this reason to transform yourself. Rather than just knowing what is happening, not knowing why, and just copying what others are doing. You can't draw a tiger by looking at a cat.
The imperial court sent nearly a hundred officials at once, and it would be difficult for them to adapt if Wang Xiaolie was directly assigned to the place. It is difficult for these officials to adapt, so they will use their own known methods to do things, disrupting Wang Xiaolie's old system. Not allowing these people to visit places and understand the actual situation, and directly entering schools will not be effective. They always feel that what the school teaches is wrong and their own method is the best. After becoming an official, there are still many people who cannot hold back and try their own methods.
Li Huidao said: "I have been from Hebei for generations. I don't know how many generations have been there. When the Jin soldiers came, the country was destroyed, so I had to flee south. After several years of war, I know one thing. Only Wang Xuanfu can defeat him every time." Jin people. Only Wang Xuanfu can quickly expand the army and bring peace and happiness to the people under his rule. Once you get here, it will be good to do things according to Wang Xuanfu's method. The reason is not clear for a while, so what does it matter? Things are done well, Just get your salary with peace of mind."
After hearing this, Mu Ying shook her head: "We are all people who read the books of sages and won the Jinshi. How can we follow others' opinions? The court must have its own reasons for governing the place. Only when you know the reasons can you do things well."
Li Huidao: "When I arrived at Jingxi Road, I discovered a lot of things I had never seen before, and I also thought about the reasons. After thinking about it, I still can't figure it out. If you can't figure it out, don't think about it. Just be yourself and figure it out. Isn’t it bad?”
Xu Sui drank a glass of wine and put down the glass. Said: "You are all Jinshi with high rank. Everyone has an idea and has to explain everything. I am different. I am a Jinshi in martial arts. I have read a few military books, but I don't have so many ideals. Here in the west of Beijing There is a military academy, and I heard that officers all come from there. Originally, I wanted to enter the military academy, but it turned out that the method of leading troops was different from the military books I read, so I decided not to. I walked around the place and found that it was not necessarily the best way to govern the place. It is not in line with the books of sages, but it is different from other places. There is no shortage of money and food in Xuanfu, and the local people are happy. What else can I say? I don’t understand Taoism. It’s because you don’t read the books of sages well. How can there be so much to say! You just want Act according to Xuan Fu's words and think about the truth slowly!"
Zheng Gangzhong nodded: "Although Brother Xu is a martial arts champion, what he said is clear. Yes, this is how we should do things!"
Mu Ying said: "Yes, if we want to benefit the people, we must do this. Xuanfu has his own reasons for doing things, and he is different from others in almost everything. If it hadn't been for the continuous victory over the Jin Army in recent years and the lack of money and food under his rule, I'm afraid no one will recognize Xuan Fu. The biggest truth about things in the world is that it is the truth. If you can't figure it out, it's because you haven't figured it out yet, it's your own problem."
The others nodded together.
The cool breeze blew away the heat of the day. The slanting moon in the west unknowingly set over the mountain. There are stars in the sky, like countless people's eyes, blinking and blinking, looking at this world.
Zheng Gangzhong leaned on the small bamboo chair, looked at the night, and fell into deep thought.
As the third place player in Shaoxing's first-class team for the second year, Zheng Gangzhong came to West Beijing with his passion and all he wanted was to serve the country with his own life. After arriving, I realized that this place was completely different from what I had imagined. Whether it is the army or the local area, there is a set of governance methods unique to this place. Zheng Gangzhong thought about this method for a long time but still couldn't figure it out. Why do this? Wang Xiaolie must have his own reasons, but this reason only belongs to him now.
Many of the people who came together at that time have gone back. Most of those who stayed were people like Xu Chen and others, who were originally from the Central Plains, and their rankings in the imperial examination were not high, so they had no future in the south.
Zheng Gangzhong was different. He had a bright future and he was from Jiangnan. Many people advised him to go back. Zheng Gangzhong chose to stay and made great determination.
Seeing the stars shining in the sky, Zheng Gang felt a little confused, not knowing whether his choice was right or wrong.
After drinking for a while, Mu Ying said to Fan Yinbin: "Brother Fan is from Tangzhou. What did you think when I went back two days ago?"
Fan Yinbin said: "It has been over a hundred years since my ancestors moved to Jianzhou, leaving only the name of the village. When I went back this time, there were only ruins and no one in the village. I heard from people nearby that most of the people in the village were empty when the gold thieves came. They were killed, some were taken north, and the others all fled south. The so-called hometown is really only in my memory."
After speaking, he sighed deeply.
Fan Yinbin's uncle was the minister Fan Zhixu. During the Jingkang period, he was the Xuanfu envoy of Shaanxi and led the Sixth Route Army to rescue Kaifeng Mansion. As a result, in Qianqiu Town, they were defeated by the Jin Army in a battle, ushering in the troubled times on Jingxi Road. Later, when he learned about Dengzhou, he abandoned the city and fled when Wanyan Yinshu could attack. He was demoted to the deputy envoy of Anxuan Army and settled in Yingzhou. Although he was called to be a bachelor of Zizheng Palace in the third year of Jianyan, he died on the road.
For the Fan family, Fan Zhixu's behavior during the Jingkang years was extremely cowardly, which brought shame to the family. After Fan Yinbin became a Jinshi this year, he heard that there was a shortage of officials on Jingxi Road, so he came here without thinking. He wanted to see how Wang Xiaolie led a strong army in a place where his uncle was in despair.
From what I've seen these days, everything under Wang Xiaolie's rule is different from others. Fan Yinbin believes that this is natural. If he was like others, how could Wang Xiaolie be forced to come to Taiyuan Mansion, leaving Wanyan Yinshu helpless? Unlike Fan Zhixu, Yin Shu came to attack Dengzhou and could only abandon the city and escape.
