Great Wei Overlord

Chapter 775
Chapter 780 The critical moment is still better than a fist

Hearing this, Ran Ming decided to learn more about the ancient Confucianism.With this understanding, Ran Ming discovered that Confucianism in later generations had been tampered with beyond recognition, especially in the Ming and Qing Dynasties.

In this way, there is no need to ban Confucianism, since it exists because it makes sense.Otherwise, history would have been eliminated long ago.

Confucius said: "Wen is better than quality, history is better, quality is better than writing, and style is gentle, and then a gentleman."

Confucianism at the end of the later ages, who claimed to be a gentleman, but did not know how to exercise, did not know martial arts, and those who were more literary than quality, could only be called historians, and those who had literature but no quality could only be called bookworms.

After more than a month of training, the physique and mental outlook of the students have improved a lot, especially after the bloody training, these more than 100 students are masculine with elegance, and elegance with a sense of deterrence, and then put on all clothes Served by the Confucian sect, a upright and restrained cultural connotation naturally flourishes.

At this time, Ran Ming was satisfied and said fiercely to Wang: "This is very useful!" At the same time, Ran Ming also had the idea of ​​reforming Confucianism.

Because of Zhang Gun's meritorious service in slaughtering dogs, especially his performance during the battle, he, the second child of the three masters of Fengle Academy, became the uncrowned king of the academy.Although Zhang Gun is only a ninth-rank doctor, this is the lowest rank official in Wei's nine-rank official system.As the head of the academy's first batch of students who became officials, Zhang Gun has also become a benchmark for everyone.

Ran Ming was the imperial envoy for the tax infringement case in the Heluo area, but Ran Ming was a bit out of business.

For more than a month, if you want to talk about Ran Ming's achievements, the only thing that is remarkable is the students of Fengle Academy who have practiced hard for more than a month.

At the same time that Zhongfengle Academy entered Yecheng in full dress, Ran Ming entered the palace immediately to meet Ran Min.

During this period of time, Ran Min couldn't hide any of Ran Ming's actions, and Ran Min was also somewhat dissatisfied with Ran Ming.As an emperor, Ran Min actually didn't have the so-called emperor's political methods. At any time, Ran Min was like a general, even more like an emperor.

After Ran Ming saw the ceremony, Ran Min said coldly: "Is the prince here to reply to the order today?"

Ran Ming said: "My son is not here to answer the decree today, but to ask Father for help!"

Hearing this, Ran Min felt a little better.

Finally, Ran Ming didn't disappoint him, and Ran Ming still remembered what he had to do.In this world, anyone can make love with each other, but Ran Ming can't.Because this world belongs to the Ran family, Ran Ming has the responsibility and the obligation to pull out the tumor buried inside.

Ran Min said: "How many people do you need to help you investigate tax infringement cases?"

Ran Ming said: "We don't need manpower, all we need is an order from the emperor to his son and ministers, and send out an infantry army."

Ran Min said: "My elite battalion can intimidate the world in battle, but they don't know how to check accounts, so they can do math!"

"What I want is for them to intimidate the world. Use them to deter Heluo's gentry. There is a battalion of elite infantry stationed in Heluo. I can assure you that none of Heluo's tyrants dare to move. The matter of checking accounts is naturally a joy. The students of the academy are handled by the 140 seven callers appointed by the emperor just now."

Ran Min's troops stationed in Yecheng for a long time followed the example of the Eighth School of the Northern Army in the Han Dynasty. During the dynasty, the establishment of the Northern Army was too small. Among the eight schools, there were more than [-] soldiers and less than [-] soldiers. The total strength of the Northern Army was less than [-].

However, Ran Min's army stationed in Ye was much larger than the Eighth School of the Northern Army of the Han Dynasty.Taking the infantry captain as an example, there are as many as six battalions in the infantry alone, with [-] soldiers, and between [-] and [-] soldiers in the middle base, Shesheng, Yueqi, and Tunqi.

Except for Captain Changshui, who is nameless and has only more than [-] troops, the other armies are more than ten times the size of the Northern Army of the Han Dynasty.

The military focus of the Wei army is to focus on the north and light on the south, and the intention to adopt a policy of weak branches and strong trunks in the future is very obvious.It may not appear at this time, but once the real peace comes, the corruption of the capital garrison will be a matter of course.

Although Ran Ming knew that the Song Dynasty's million-strong imperial army was vulnerable to a single battle, he did not criticize Ran Min's military proposition.At this time, the state of Wei was in a period of rapid growth, and the army's voice for going north and south was very loud.There is no danger, but in the future, it will be hard to say.

However, no matter what, Ran Min's guards are still the most terrifying army in this era.A battalion of soldiers is enough to deter the Heluo tycoons.

This time, Ran Ming can be regarded as very powerful. Not only did he put on a full set of ceremonial guards for the prince, but all the Qilin guards were also dispatched, accompanied by the captain of the sixth battalion of Buying, Feng Lei, who had accompanied Murong Ke in raiding Huanwen's old lair. .

Feng Lei is a general of Ran Min's direct line. After his meritorious service, he was promoted to the commander of the Sixth Battalion of the Infantry Army, the commander of the Sixth Battalion, and the left middle guard of the General Wei.This is a prominent official position with both real power and rank.

After Ran Ming came out of Yecheng, his speed suddenly accelerated, and the 140 seven Yezhe doctors headed by Zhang Gun all dispersed.Each person led a team or several people under the guard of a village or a department, and went deep into the counties and counties.

In ancient times, the emperor's decrees could only reach the county level.Below the county level, it is basically governed by the tyrants or gentry agents of each county.The Ming Dynasty fell, in fact, because Zhu Yuanzhang hated corrupt officials and was afraid that corrupt officials would bully the people, so he ordered the county magistrate not to leave the county for no reason.

Therefore, the Ming Dynasty had very limited control capabilities.When the scholar-bureaucrats of the Manchu Dynasty were corrupt, even if some officials wanted to do something, they were actually powerless.Because the real power is not in the hands of officials.

So in this way, among the forums of hundreds of schools, the view that the Ming Dynasty died because of the loose system.

In fact, this is not a lack of the Ming Dynasty system, but the practice of the past dynasties.This has both advantages and disadvantages.During the period of the Five Husbands, the Hus were raging in the Central Plains, but there were still more than 100 large and small Wubao in the Central Plains, and local autonomy was implemented.

Even the tyrannical Shi Hu, Murong Jun, including Fu Jian, did not wipe out these stubborn tyrants.

These tyrants don't care who you are as the emperor, anyway, they only want benefits.When Ran Min was powerful, they bowed their heads to Ran Min. If Ran Min was weak, don't expect them to lend a helping hand.

Both Haoqiang and gentry have a very obvious disposition through the ages, that is, it is easy to make them fall into trouble, but it is too difficult to expect them to give charcoal in a timely manner.It cannot be ordered from above. Although this is not a separatist regime, it is actually a separatist regime.

The case of tax infringement caused by these tyrants and gentry is neither big nor small.If Ran Min was punished without committing a crime, then Ran Min would definitely get the title of "tyrant". After all, they are the real power controllers of this era, and they are also the guide of public opinion in this era.

They say one is good, even if this person is so bad that he has sores on his head, pus on the soles of his feet, and smells like a pile of dog shit, they can still make him a favorite.

But if Ran Min doesn't take it seriously, this will form an unspoken rule.That is, gentry and tyrants can extort money from places.As usual, they are attached to the country, knocking the bones and sucking the marrow.

In the view of Heluo Haoqiang and the gentry, if they are treated harshly, it will have a bad influence on the Jin State in the south in the future.Ran Min will definitely make concessions to them for the so-called great cause of unification.

But they didn't know Ran Min's real purpose.Ran Min once told Ran Ming that when he joined the army, it was actually for the sake of dignity and to live like a human being.Ran Min did not want to be king or hegemony for himself, and those generals who followed him did not do it for the sake of their own wealth and splendor.Although there are too many slanders against Ran Min in the history books, one thing is very clear.Even when Ran Min was at the end of his life, the generals of the Wei army did not surrender.Even if Ma Yuan finally surrendered in Kaesong, Yecheng would run out of food and everyone would eat each other.

Ran Min's purpose is simply to make all the gentry and tyrants unbelievable. He just wants to make many Han people no longer be slaves or handmaidens, no longer like sheep and slaughtered by others.Ran Min just wants to let those people who are struggling on the line of life and death live a good life.

Ran Ming led the Sixth Battalion of the Infantry Army out of Ye City. Since the news spread, some gentry with keen political sense realized that Ran Min must be serious.They also clearly know that if they continue to be tough, there will be no benefit.As for rebellion, these tyrants never thought about it.

You must know that even if Ran Min didn't need to use Yecheng's garrison, Zhang Wen who was stationed in Luoyang could destroy them in minutes.If they were Hu people, these tyrants would take advantage of the luck that Hu people are good at field battles and are not good at attacking fortifications, and they can retreat and rely on Wubao to defend themselves.As long as the Heluo area takes the lead, the tyrants in other counties and counties will definitely be moved by the news.However, the main force of Wei's army was the Han people, who were always good at attacking and defending. Although Wubao had a good defense, it was not a real city, and heavy trebuchets could easily smash down the fort wall.

What's more, it's not that Ran Ming didn't give them a way out, as long as they guard themselves, ten times the penalty for tax evasion, and ten times the money and food is not a small number, but it won't hurt them.

It's not that Ran Ming didn't give them a way out, as long as they bowed their heads and accepted the punishment, they would forget the past.In this way, the powerful offensive and defensive alliance in the Heluo area was broken.There are also some people who are lucky. They think that they have managed a large network in the local area, and if the water doesn't get in, they can naturally prevent Ran Ming from finding out the facts.

Yongqiu is also about Qi County in later generations.It is also the birthplace of the word unfounded worry.The state of Wei has developed commerce, so the roads along the way are in good condition. Even the road sections that were washed away during the flood last year have already been repaired.When Ran Ming arrived in Yongqiu, all the gentry and local officials had already knelt down at Shili Pavilion to welcome Ran Ming.

In fact, welcoming Ran Ming is only one aspect. The most important thing is to see if Ran Ming has the means and ability to find out the facts.The county magistrate of Yongqiu said to Ran Ming: "The wine and drinks are ready, His Royal Highness, please move to the table!"

Ran Ming looked at it and said: "The terrain here is open, the scenery is beautiful, and it is surrounded by mountains and rivers. Let's camp here!"

Ran Ming wanted to set up camp here, so Feng Lei passed down the military order.As the elite of the Wei Dynasty, Buying was only a temporary camp in the territory, but Feng Lei still strictly implemented the specifications of the war camp.Countless scouts have dispersed to the surrounding area of ​​the open space to scout the environment around the campsite and set up temporary checkpoints. This is military law.

The soldiers took off their armor, and after getting the logging tools from a cart, they also went into the woods and started logging.There are also some soldiers who have taken some connected grooves from the cart.Started bringing the spring water up the hillside.Countless carts are connected end to end.Formed a rough defensive formation.

Ran Ming looked at the eight-ox crossbow bed crossbow, and a small catapult was placed behind the chariot formation.All the tarpaulins on the top were removed, and the huge crossbow guns on the eight-ox crossbow had been placed. As long as the enemy appeared, they would fire immediately. The soldiers quickly dragged the wood from the mountain forest. The roots were nailed into the soil.Not only camping, but even horse refusal and trenches are arranged meticulously.

Only two village gates, one front and one back, were left on the outskirts of the camp, and arrow towers were erected at the four corners of the camp. This is not like a temporary camp at all, this is war!
Wei Jian pointed at these busy soldiers and said, "Brother Zhang, this general is a bit of a fuss. We just stay here for one night. Is this a border, or going deep into the enemy's country, is it more than that?"

"This is Your Majesty's guard army, which was expanded from the old foundation at the beginning." Zhang Gun said: "According to the instructors during the training, this is the military regulations of the Great Wei. Although it looks a bit stupid, it is also a bit trivial. It's a masterpiece, and in fact that's what makes this army unusual."

At this moment, Ran Ming sent down an order, ordering the doctors among the audience to set up camp by themselves.Zhang Gun received Ran Ming's warrant and went to the quartermaster to get supplies and tools such as tents and shovels.If it was in the past, these Fengle Academy students would definitely not know these things, but now they are already familiar with these things and cannot be more familiar with them.
