Chapter 30 The real war

Ning Yu sat in the front hall of Cui's residence, facing the teacher Cui Wancai.

Just like last time, the faint sound of the piano still came from the house, which made Ning Yu think a lot.

According to Ning Yu's understanding, Cui Wancai's first wife died early, leaving her daughters waiting to be married, and there seems to be no reunion now.The person who wants to play the piano in this mansion is his daughter.

Thinking of this, Ning Yu felt a little strange, what is the teacher's intention?Want to betrothed to yourself as a wife?But I am young after all, and it is a busy time now, will I refuse later?Or agree?It was really tangled, Ning Yu sighed in his heart.

"Turned?" When Ning Yu was thinking about something, Cui Wancai suddenly said something.

Ning Yu couldn't help but blushed, and said with a guilty conscience: "Teacher, the students don't know what the teacher means."

Cui Wancai smiled and said, "As a teacher, I'm your age, but I'm not as hypocritical as you. Well, what do you mean when you come to the house today?"

Ning Yu told all about his recent situation, with a look of exhaustion and confusion on his face, and said, "Teacher, it's really hard to do things in this world."

Cui Wancai said softly: "Why do you feel powerless in doing things? On the surface, it seems to be a human problem, but it is actually a general problem."

"In today's peaceful age, even if people starve to death, they can still survive. Since they can survive, people will be greedy for comfort and enjoyment. If you want to push them to do something, it will be very difficult. "

These words, like seeing the sun through the clouds, explained the troubles in Ning Yu's heart.

After all, now is the Taiping Years, and it is absolutely difficult to do anything in the Taiping Years.

Cui Wancai smiled and said, "I don't know how you comment on the former Ming Taizu?" Ning Yu was terrified by what he said. It is a big taboo in this dynasty to talk about the affairs of the former dynasty. .

As for leaving a few words?That's even more serious. Ever since Kangxi succeeded to the throne, major writing cases have arisen frequently. How many people's heads were beheaded in the Nanshanji case eight years ago?
Ning Yu thought for a while, and said: "Emperor Ming Taizu started at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, but he was able to carve out a world among the heroes at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, defeated Chen Youliang and Zhang Shicheng one after another, and even expelled Bei Yuan into the desert. Great generation."

Cui Wancai nodded and said with a smile: "Emperor Taizu can afford it because of one word—power. Neither Dayuan nor Chen Youliang Zhang Shicheng and other forces have gained power."

"What is a trend is a kind of control and utilization of the general trend of the world. If you know how to take advantage of the trend, you will not worry about the general trend, because you can take advantage of the trend, and in the end you will be the general trend!"

The words are pearls, and the sound fills the ears.Together with the sound of the piano in the house, I don't know when it stopped.

Cui Wancai took a sip of tea, smiled and said to the room: "Keep playing, don't stop."

Ning Yu said slowly: "Teacher, based on what you have seen, where does the power of this court come from?"

Cui Wancai didn't speak, but just pointed at Ning Yu.

"Me?" Ning Yu couldn't believe it.

Cui Wancai still didn't speak, and pointed at herself again.

"Teacher, what do you mean?" Ning Yu didn't understand.

Cui Wancai sighed: "The momentum of the Qing Dynasty came from Han people like you and me from the very beginning."

Ning Yu was a little silent, and said, "Please teach me more, teacher."

Cui Wancai stood up, looked outside the house, and said in a subtle voice, "Since the Qing Dynasty entered the customs, it has been conquered by the strength of the Han people. It all depends on the green battalion to manage the soldiers."

Cui Wancai said in a deep voice: "Nowadays there are 60 registered soldiers in the green battalion in the world. They are stationed in Tangxun dotted around the country. There are no more than three to five hundred soldiers in each place. They control each other and do not belong to each other. Once something happens, they will be stationed. Waiting for help. This mosque has really learned the lessons of the previous Ming to the bone.”

Cui Wancai sighed and said: "It's okay if it's just a green camp, a rootless tree can't last long, but this Qing Dynasty is obviously owned by an expert, who took advantage of the situation in a proper way, and rewarded them wantonly when they entered the customs. , making the big tree of Luying grow taller and taller."

Ning Yu also knows this, just like the Huguang Green Battalion has only 4 people in total, but these 4 people are divided into dozens of battalions, and hundreds of them are stationed to prevent floods, control every main road, and suppress everything.

Ning Yu tentatively said: "Then the lifeline of the Qing Dynasty is above the green camp?" If outsiders heard this, they would probably be scared to death.

Cui Wancai shook his head and said: "Fool, this green camp is just a facade. Although this situation has been achieved, it is after all a firefighting effort. Naturally, the emperors and ministers of the Qing Dynasty are worried and anxious. They use it and prevent it."

Then Cui Wancai asserted categorically: "The Qing court never dared to completely trust the Green Camp. Just 30 years ago, Cai Yurong, governor of Huguang, was arrested and imprisoned, and then the five thousand elite supervisors under his banner were abolished. The position of Governor of Huguang was abolished on the basis of 'the lack of the governor is useless', which led to the rebellion of the green battalion soldiers."

"Although this rebellion was little known, it had a great influence. Xia Fenglong, the leader of the rebellion at the time, forced the new governor, Ke Yongsheng, to death. He even had tens of thousands of people, and captured Wuchang, Xianning, Jiayu, and Puqi one after another. , Hanyang and other surrounding counties, the momentum is so great that it shakes the government and the public."

"Later, after the chaos subsided, thousands of Eight Banners soldiers were stationed in Jingzhou, forming the full camp of Jingzhou today. Since then, the Holy One has been particularly afraid of the Green Camp."

Ning Yu sighed silently: "My great-grandfather, grandfather, including my father, are all generals of this green battalion, and I think they know it well in their hearts."

Cui Wancai said meaningfully: "Nowadays, most of the Qing Dynasty is in the hands of these landlords and gentry. If there is any chaos, it doesn't matter if the 60 green battalion soldiers on the books are wiped out. If the landlords and squires still stand on the side of the Manchu Qing, there will still be hundreds of thousands or even millions of young and strong people who can fight."

Ning Yu suddenly understood, thoroughly understood, that the Manchus' ability to win the world has nothing to do with the Eight Banners riding and shooting Wushuang, even if these 10,000+ Eight Banners soldiers are made of iron and copper, how long will it take to consume energy?

The key lies in the momentum, and taking advantage of the momentum to form itself is the general trend.

And the power of the Great Qing Dynasty does not lie in the more than one million Eight Banners disciples, but in the hundreds of millions of Han Chinese.

It seemed that a ray of sunlight penetrated the thick black fog, and Ning Yu discovered for the first time the possibility of destroying the mountain in front of him. This is a real war.

This war is in people's hearts, in the general trend, and in the way of heaven.

Cui Wancai looked at the disciple in front of him with gratified eyes, needless to say everything.

That lofty king of the north, are you ready for this war?
