Neon Clothes and Iron Clothes

Chapter 192
Hearing his friend's praise, the smile on Dinghui's face froze, and he turned his head to look at the sea.The stern look of my father at the time of parting came before my eyes again: "The moment you step on the deck, you must forget who you are and where you came from! A wise man can be at ease no matter what the situation is, and never forget the original intention of his pursuit." I am no longer The Nakatomi family from Fujiwara, Yamato, who am I now?What is my original heart?He gently stroked the smooth rosary in his hand with his thumb, and fell into deep thought...

Ding Hui didn't know how long he had been standing on the deck. When Tang Ren's officer woke him up, the ship was moored in a bay. With the help of the sailors, he went down the rope ladder to a ferry boat, and then rowed to the shore. side.With the ups and downs of the boat, Dinghui's heart gradually settled down. He still doesn't know what his original heart is, but time will eventually give him the answer, and the process should be regarded as the test of gods and Buddhas on himself!
Shore trestle.

The gangplank fell on the trestle bridge, making a dull sound. Before the gangplank was completely stable, the soldiers with their bags on their backs stepped onto the trestle bridge one by one. Because they had been on the boat for a long time, they walked ashore with strange steps. ——with legs spread apart, back bowed, and swaying from side to side when walking, as if he was still on a boat!
"Why are they all teenagers and half-old men, there are not many young people!" Gu Cihang complained.

"Don't talk!" Wang Wenzuo said in a low voice without turning his head, "There are many people here, so be careful not to talk but to listen!"

Gu Cihang muttered twice in dissatisfaction, but still kept his mouth shut. Wang Wenzuo sighed. Gu Cihang's eyesight was very sharp. At least the soldiers who got off the first few ships were in bad condition. Many of them were thin boys. Their faces are only sixteen or seventeen years old, and some of them have gray hair even though their heads are wrapped in black cloth. Only [-] to [-]% are young and middle-aged men.Seeing all this, Wang Wenzuo not only had an ominous premonition—won't it be like this on the next ship?

As more and more soldiers were sent ashore, the murmurs behind Wang Wenzuo became louder and louder. He no longer cared about stopping Gu Cihang's complaints, because he had bigger troubles to deal with—there were people around the pier. More and more people from Silla gathered together to point and point at these uninvited guests. Even if they were far away, Wang Wenzuo could guess what they were talking about.

"Is the imperial court in a daze?" Wang Wenzuo gritted his teeth and said, "It would be better to send fewer people here than to send a group of half-grown children and old men! It's okay if you can't fight, the people of Silla saw it." What will they think? They will definitely feel that Datang is at the end of his rope, otherwise how could they send such a group of people here. In this way, even the most loyal allies will have a different heart?"

Not far away, the voices of Silla people were getting louder and louder. Wang Wenzuo could even hear someone laughing wantonly, which made him more and more upset: Well, he admitted that he saw a group of people who even asked others to help them wrap their heads. It's ridiculous that half-grown children and half-old men go to war, but if these weak chickens are on his side, it's not funny at all, he turned around suddenly.

"Gu Qi!"

"The end is here!"

"Go and drive those spectators away!" Wang Wenzuo's voice was cold: "This is an important place for military aircraft, not a restaurant and fish farm!"

Gu Cihang was taken aback for a moment, and then became excited: "The last general obeys the order!"

Hearing the noise of fighting behind him, Wang Wenzuo didn't bother to turn his head. He knew it would bring him trouble, but he didn't care. He had already wiped too many other people's asses, and it was his turn to let others wipe his own. Ass now!
"You are Wang Canjun, right?"

The voice pulled Wang Wenzuo out of his irritability. He saw a lieutenant of the Tang Army come down from the diving board, and nodded: "Yes, I'm really here, are you?"

The school captain confirmed Wang Wenzuo's identity, and hurriedly crossed his hands to salute: "I'm Xue Huangshang, and I'm ordered to send two Japanese interpreters ashore!"

"Interpreter from the Japanese kingdom?" Wang Wenzuo glanced past the captain of the Tang Army, and looked at the two men following him: one was a monk in Chu Yi's monk's robe, and the other was wearing a hooded head, a blue round-necked short robe, and a waist. Hanging a dagger, dressed as a civil servant.When the two saw Wang Wenzuo, they hurriedly bowed (put their hands together) to salute, and said in unison: "The poor monk Dinghui (under Yiji Lianbode) sees Wang Canjun!"

"Excuse me, you two!" Although Wang Wenzuo was upset, he didn't want to get angry with the two Japanese translators who met for the first time, so he asked Xue Huangshang, "What's the matter with these two people? The general who will lead the reinforcements this time is Who? Where is he?"

"The commander in charge of the army this time is General Youweiwei Sun Renshi!" Xue Huangshang replied: "Due to encountering a Japanese ship on the way, General Sun's ship was damaged, so it stopped at a small island for repairs. The team will come a day or two late, and the front team will arrive first!"

"What, you encountered a Japanese fleet on the way?" Wang Wenzuo was taken aback.

"That's right!" Xue Huangshang's expression became serious: "According to the captured Japanese, they belonged to the Chinese army of the Japanese, with a total of nearly 2 people, and they were also the last Japanese army sent to Baekje. After meeting, we will join forces and attack Sibi City!"

"Is there such a thing?" Wang Wenzuo's expression changed drastically. According to the information he obtained from the Japanese captives in the ambush outside Xiongjin City: the Japanese troops who went to Baekje to support the rebels accounted for only one part of the total Japanese troops sent to the peninsula. A small part, but most of the Japanese army attacked the southern part of Silla from the sea, that is, the "four counties of Renna", which was also the primary goal of the entire strategic plan of the Japanese.If what Xue Huangshang said is true, it means that the Japanese have changed their primary goal to assist the Baekje people to defeat the Tang army and restore the country.

"How many soldiers are there on board?"

"A total of 8000 people!"

"Eight thousand?" Wang Wenzuo looked around and said in a low voice, "Why are they all old and weak? What about the young and strong in each military mansion?"

"Report to the king to join the army!" Xue Huangshang sighed: "The military houses in the neighboring states have no soldiers to recruit. These are all recruited temporarily, so they are like this!"

"Temporarily recruited? Are you saying that these people are not even military?"

"That's right, it's basically floating waves from all over the world, get down!"

"What? It's Fulang, Xiahu?" Wang Wenzuo couldn't help but his eyes darkened, and he almost staggered. Upper households, upper middle households, upper lower households, and middle upper households are the "upper households", middle middle households, middle lower households, and lower upper households are the "secondary households", and lower middle households and lower middle households are the second households. "Resignation".In other words, these temporary recruits are all poor people at the bottom of the society. Obviously, it is impossible to receive military training on weekdays, and their physical fitness cannot be compared with that of Fubing and military households.

　A few days ago, Weber saw someone speaking in the discussion area saying that Empress Wu had killed a few generations of gentry, accelerating the exit of aristocratic families.I would like to say a few words, the aristocratic families in medieval society did not monopolize violence, but knowledge.To establish an empire, the most violent imperial power had to compromise with the aristocratic family, granting them various privileges in exchange for intellectuals working for them.Why can aristocratic families monopolize knowledge?Because before the advent of movable type printing, the cost of knowledge dissemination and storage was very high. Only a very small number of families with strong economic strength were able to educate and train their children. Even if ordinary people have high talents, it is difficult for him The vast majority of intellectuals in society belong to aristocratic families to obtain opportunities for education and learning.In other words, unless there are enough intellectuals in society to replace the aristocratic families, the massacre of the gentry will only be counterproductive, because the massacre will cause social unrest and make the cost of knowledge dissemination higher. Finally, when the war is over, the surviving gentry will knowledge will be more valuable.For example, in the Rebellion of the Eight Kings, there must have been many more noble families killed than Wu Zetian. Did it hit the nobles of the gentry?Tuoba of the Northern Wei Dynasty almost wiped out the Qinghe Cui family because of the national history case, but within a few years, Emperor Xiaowen had to sinicize obediently and share power with the Hebei gentry.Empress Wu did kill a lot of ministers and use a lot of cold people. The question is, is she using the gentry in the same way as using the cold people?How did Shangguan Wan'er, Di Renjie, Song Jing, and Yao Chong use it; how did Lai Junchen, Xue Huaiyi, Zhou Xing, and the Zhang brothers use it?You still need to use your brain to read history, not blindly seeking pleasure.
