  Chapter 169 167 [Thieves] (addition for the leader "Genius945")

  Zhao Han read the article carefully again, and said with a smile: "You can find things from old papers."

  Wang Tiaoding's identity at this time is very strange. He not only conducts theoretical research for Zhao Han's rebellion, but also refuses to completely rely on Zhao Han. He said: "In the beginning, I turned to the theory of Emperor Taizu's Dian Xing Blessing from the "Yu Zhi Da Gao". But compared with the actions of the general town, this theory is completely useless."

  Zhu Yuanzhang's theory of "Dian Xing Blessed" can be described in four words: when and where!

   And the logic is confusing. He first explained that all the land in the whole country belongs to the emperor. As long as you have eaten in this country, then the emperor is kind to you, and you cannot oppose the emperor.

  Including Zhu Yuanzhang's own family members, although several died of starvation, they were also beholden to the emperor of the Yuan Dynasty.

   Then he said that the emperor of the Yuan Dynasty had no way, so some foolish people rebelled.

   Moreover, rebellion is wrong. Even if you are starving to death, rebellion is ungrateful, and such behavior must be condemned by God.

  As for Zhu Yuanzhang himself, he was forced to rebel, he entered the Red Turban Army by mistake, and directly called the Red Turban Army "violent soldiers". At that time, thieves and thieves rose together, and the world no longer belonged to the Yuan Dynasty. Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang was not rebelling, but was trying to calm down the world as soon as possible so that the common people could live a stable life.

  Through this theory, Zhu Yuanzhang does not admit that he rebelled, but he is the one who helps the world!

   And Zhao Han's theory of family, country and world is clearly intended to rebel, and it is completely incompatible with Zhu Yuanzhang's theory of prosperity and blessings.

  Zhao Han continued to read and ponder, and asked: "Don't the Gongyang School of Confucianism advocate great unification?"

"It was the Gongyang faction in the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty," Wang Tiaoding explained in detail, "During the period of Emperor Zhao and Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty, the Gongyang faction proposed the theory of passing on the name of the country. The Yang faction believes that the emperor has no way, and a wise man must be replaced as the emperor. Moreover, they begged the emperor to abdicate in person."

   "What's the end?" Zhao Han asked again.

  Wang Tiaoding replied: "The one who asked for the abdication of Emperor Zhao of the Han Dynasty was killed, and the one who asked for the abdication of Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty committed suicide."

  Zhao Han couldn't help laughing and said, "Haha, they really dare."

Wang Tiaoding said: "Although these two people died, the theory of passing on the Guoyi surname has spread widely, and even became the consensus of Confucian scholars all over the world. Therefore, Wang Mang usurped the throne, and no one opposed it. The whole world is waiting for him to pass on the Guoyi surname. "

   "The country's long-standing evils are deep, and changing the emperor can make it better." Zhao Han shook his head and sighed.

  Wang Tiaoding argued: "The Great Qin was unified, and the second emperor died. There are many things that the Confucian scholars in the Han Dynasty couldn't figure out."

   This is crossing the river by feeling the stones. For the first time, the Western Han Dynasty faced many problems of the unified dynasty. It could not learn from history, and could only explore various solutions that seemed naive to future generations.

  Wang Tiaoding continued: "The next article is about the theory of changing the surname of the country, which is different from that of the Han Dynasty, but it combines the theory of family, country and world of the general town."

  Wang Tiaoding’s article expounds in this way—

  The destiny is impermanent, and the virtuous live there.

   To lose morality is to lose destiny.

  How to count as immoral?

Quoting Mencius: "Jie and Zhou lost the world and lost their people; those who lost their people lost their hearts. There is a way to win the world: if you win the people, you win the world. There is a way to get the people. There is a way to get their hearts: get together with them as you want, and don't do evil to them, so do you."

  Those who have virtue can make the common people happy, bring all the people to their hearts, and rule the world.

  The hearts of the people are the destiny.

  The process of obtaining the Mandate of Heaven is the process of obtaining the hearts of the people.

  The heart of the people is not the heart of the gentry, but the heart of the common people.

  How to win the hearts of the people?

   It is necessary to observe the faults of the Ming court and correct them. Dividing the land and the people, appointing talented officials, suppressing the evil gentry and powerful, and punishing corrupt officials are all correcting the mistakes of the imperial court.

  As long as this set of policies is implemented in the world, you will be able to win the hearts of all people, and you will be able to obtain the favor of destiny.

   You can, pass on the surname of Guoyi, and ascend the throne as the emperor!

  The country in question is not the Ming Dynasty, but China's Shenzhou.

  Zhao Han asked with a smile: "Why don't you dare to spread the article and only come to me secretly?"

  Wang Tiaoding said: "Daming has no way, and the town has virtue to live in. If the country where the town was founded, if one day there is no way, wouldn't it also be home to virtuous people?"

   "Children who have no virtue will be destroyed." Zhao Han doesn't worry about his descendants, because worrying is useless.

  How can there be an immortal dynasty?

   "That's it," Wang Tiaoding cupped his hands, "I dedicate this article to the general town."

  By the way, the Mencius statement quoted by Wang Tiaoding was not used in the Ming Dynasty imperial examination.

  Because it was deleted by Zhu Yuanzhang!

  The idea that the people are more important than the emperor is less important was also deleted by Zhu Yuanzhang.

  Zhao Han said: "Don't call it "Chuan Guoyi Surnames", change the article to "Theory of Destiny". You go back and polish it, try to write as colorful as possible. After all, this stuff is written for scholars."

  "The Mandate of Heaven" should not only be shown to the scholars under the rule, but also let Xu Ying spread it in Nanchang.

   It is also possible to combine "Theory of the Family, the Country, and the World", "Theory of Dividing the Land in Datong", and "Theory of Destiny" into a booklet. All merchant ships that pass by Zhao Han's territory are forced to buy a copy, and it's up to them to see it or not, but they have to pay for it.

  If Zhao Han becomes the emperor in the future, these books will also be designated as royal textbooks, and every prince must memorize them fluently.

  Wang Tiaoding returned the manuscript with the manuscript, and returned home to continue to polish and perfect it.

  The bunch of rebel envoys were invited in, and each of them reported to their homes, which immediately made Zhao Han feel like a big dick.

  Only under the command of the Sweeping King, there are thieves such as Yizhangbing, Zhenshanhu, Nine-headed Bird, Feishangtian and so on. The Sweeping King is just the big brother who takes the lead, and the other thieves have strong autonomy, which is equivalent to an anti-thief alliance.

   Moreover, Sweeping King has already started internal strife. Due to the uneven distribution of spoils and territorial issues, there were several military frictions last month.

  In order to resolve internal conflicts, King Sweeper decided to cross the border and attack Huguang, laying down more territory and distributing it to the bandits.

  The Sweeping King sent an envoy, the purpose is very simple.

   This product cannot expand in Jiangxi, and the development space is blocked by Zhao Han. So I want to make an agreement with Zhao Han not to attack each other. Zhao Han will expand to the north, east, and south with peace of mind, and King Sweeping will go to the west to attack Huguang.

   In this regard, Zhao Han readily agreed and wrote a handwritten letter on the spot for several messengers to take back.

   "Whose envoy are you?" Zhao Han asked.

  The man replied: "My family's king is called Sailubu, and his territory is in Taihe County, next to the territory of Zhao Tianwang. My family's king said that he would like to honor Zhao Tianwang as the master, and ask Zhao Tianwang to designate a magistrate of Taihe County."

  Another envoy interjected: "My king also wishes to honor King Zhao Tianwang as his master, please make Yongning magistrate."

  Yongning County is Jinggangshan City hundreds of years later.

Zhao Han immediately scolded: "I have no objection to you killing the evil gentry and powerful people. Don't think that I don't know what dirty things you have done. Go back and tell your king that you are not allowed to do it under my banner." Evil, otherwise I will go to conquer after the autumn harvest! Get lost!"

  The two envoys were so frightened that they ran away immediately, for fear that Zhao Tianwang would kill them.

   "Which company are you from?" Zhao Han pointed to another messenger.

  The envoy was wearing a Confucian shirt, cupped his hands and said: "Below Shenghong, my brother Fang Shengchang is temporarily in Longquan and Wan'an counties."

   Zhao Han was surprised: "You also took Wan'an?"

  Fang Shenghong smiled and said: "Half a month ago, after the capture of Wan'an County, my brother immediately sent me to the north. My brother has no intention of being king and hegemony, and tried to restrain the people as much as possible, and did not cause too many murders."

   "What is the purpose of your trip?" Zhao Han asked directly.

Fang Shenghong said: "It's just that I belong to Zongzhen Zhao. My brother and I both studied at Bailuzhou Academy and listened to the teachings of Mr. Meng An (Li Banghua). Since Mr. Meng An has defected to Zongzhen, there must be something special about Zongzhen Please take over Taihe County as soon as possible, so that it can be connected with our Wan'an and Longquan."

  Zhao Han asked: "Do you know my Tianzheng?"

   "I heard a little about it before," Fang Shenghong said with a smile, "I have been visiting the countryside of Luling for the past few days, and I am impressed by Tian Zhengda, the head of the town."

  Zhao Han said with a smile: "When you rebel, you don't want to be rich and famous? Under my command, you can only keep 20 acres of land."

Fang Shenghong said: "My two brothers have already settled down in shabby households, and each of them can be divided into 20 acres of land. As for the glory and wealth, who would not want to? But the officers and soldiers of Guangdong and Fujian provinces, at most, they will lose their money next year. Can enter Jiangxi. At that time, my brother and I will bear the brunt of it, and we can only escape by relying on Mr. Zhao."

  Suddenly, another envoy interjected: "King Zhao, our southern Jiangxi rebels can't hold on anymore. The governor of Guangdong and Guangxi is very powerful, and the governor of Fujian is also very powerful. They still have a lot of firecrackers and cannons that can run in the mountains."

Zhao Han raised his hand and said, "Sorry, I won't be able to send troops again within this year. A while ago, I had a battle with officers and soldiers. Although the soldiers under my command did not suffer many casualties, they consumed a lot of food and grass. I have to wait until the food and grass reserves are sufficient. Go south to rescue you."

  The envoy from southern Jiangxi didn't know what to do, so he just sat there dejected.

Zhao Han then said to Fang Shenghong: "Brother Fang, to tell you the truth, I have newly expanded five counties and I am dealing with internal affairs. I am very happy that you are willing to join me, but I will not mobilize troops again within this year. "

  Fang Shenghong said with a smile: "Then we will go up ourselves, occupy Taihe County, and dedicate it to Zhao Zongzhen together. Those gangsters in Taihe County, burning, killing, and looting are doing all kinds of crimes, and they are a hundred times more hateful than corrupt officials!"

  If Fang Shenghong can really do it, Zhao Han will take the land of the three counties for nothing, and the land can be connected into one piece, directly bordering Ganzhou Prefecture.

   "That's it, wait for the good news." Zhao Han clasped his fists and said.

   There was only one envoy left at the end, Zhao Han asked, "Are you from the secret sect?"

  The envoy said: "I am the Nanfeng branch of the Mi Mi Sect. The Mi Mi Sect is willing to submit its religion to King Zhao."

   "What are your requirements?" Zhao Han asked.

  The envoy said: "After the matter is completed, please ask Zhao Tianwang to designate our leader Zhang as a heavenly master, and the two protectors Jiang and Zhou as great masters to protect the country."

"roll!"

  Zhao Han said unhappily: "I don't associate with demons."

   Just as they were talking, the main altar of the Secret Esoteric Sect was gone, and the leader, Zhang Puwei, fled into the mountains with the remnants.

   Zhang Yinggao, the magistrate of Guangxin, who was in his fifties, did not recruit troops to suppress bandits immediately after taking office. It is to rectify the administration of officials, crack down on corrupt officials, and abolish the tribute paper policy of Guangxin Mansion, which has won the unanimous praise of the paper industry.

  Including the Qianshan Fei family, many big families support Zhang Yinggao.

   Then, Zhang Yinggao abolished exorbitant and miscellaneous taxes to reduce the burden on farmers, thus conquering the hearts of ordinary people.

  With the support of the gentry and the common people, Zhang Yinggao recruited more than 4,000 soldiers, and recaptured Shanglu Town after only two months of practice, and now recaptured Qianshan County.

  The rebels in Qianshan County disappeared.

   Moreover, Zhang Yinggao is contacting Governor Li Maofang, saying that he can come to help in the next war, and then bring 5,000 elite soldiers to kill the Luling Zhao bandits!

  Alas, Jiangxi's rebels have sprung up, and capable ministers are also constantly emerging.
