  Chapter 643 640【Arrogance of the army and giving up food because of choking】

   Jinling University.

  Wang Zhiliang did not lecture on the contents of the textbook today, but took out a freshly released newspaper and said, "Come here, monitor, and read the excerpt from the "Constitution of Great Harmony."

  Nineteen-year-old Yan Wosi walked up to the podium quickly and took the newspaper from the teacher.

  This person was born in the Yan family in Huzhou, and his family is in business. Although the land was taken away, the business grew bigger and bigger, mainly engaged in textile and printing and dyeing businesses.

Yan Wosi unfolded the newspaper and read it aloud: "There is a saying in the "Biography": 'The constitution is the law. It is said that the sage king will follow the heavens and establish the education in the world." .This constitution is the cornerstone of the country, and the emperor, officials, and all people should abide by it. From now on, the imperial court must not violate the purpose of this constitution when issuing laws and regulations. Anyone who violates the constitution will be a violation of the law..."

   "Article 1, the heaven and the earth communicate with each other, and everything breeds... Datong is a country that inherits the sky and responds to the people. This is Datong China!"

"The second article, the people of the world in Kyushu are all Chinese people... all ethnic groups are descendants of the Yellow Emperor and Miao, just like separated brothers and sisters. The Han people are elder brothers, and all ethnic groups are younger brothers. Datong China is also the country of Huaxia. Datong China is also the country of Huaxia. The Great Harmony of all ethnic groups in China."

   "Article 3, the country of Huaxia was born with the destiny of China, and it is responsible for the revitalization of China. The place where Chinese civilization spreads should be the land of Datong China, and one of them must be indispensable."

   "Article 4..."

  The spirit of the following "Three Origins" and the "Gate Theory" that everyone is equal, these students have listened to it countless times. They have already learned it in middle school, and it is still compulsory.

   "Go down."

Wang Zhiliang asked the squad leader to go back to his seat, and he took out two other newspapers: "'The place where Chinese civilization spreads, should be the land of Datong China, and one of them must be indispensable." Regarding this sentence, combined with the newspapers of the previous two months, What do you want to say?"

Lin Xiangzu raised his hand to express his opinion: "This hero intends to open up the Western Regions, Hetao, Monan, Uzang, and Nuergandusi...these many territories are all the homeland of the Han family, and now they are in the hands of barbarians. Make up your mind to recover and reproduce the glorious Han and Tang dynasties."

However, Yan Wosi said: "The homeland of the Han and Tang Dynasties should be restored. But this time I sent troops to Ryukyu and destroyed the country and set up counties. The students thought it was open to discussion. Ryukyu is a small country with limited land and little food. It is not beneficial to obtain it. And Ryukyu It has been my country for a long time, and since it was annihilated by Japan, it is okay to raise troops to help it restore the country. This is a small matter, and your Majesty's act of destroying the country seems to be against the teachings of the sages."

  Lin Xiangzu immediately retorted: "You know, although Ryukyu is small, it is the bridge of the world, and it has been an important sea route since ancient times. If you get this place, you can control the maritime trade of Ecuador."

  Yan Wosi sneered: "How can you covet small profits from merchants in governing the country? In my opinion, your Lin family has gone to sea too much, and you have been exposed to foreign and barbarian habits, and you have forgotten my great road to China."

  Lin Xiangzu, courtesy name Yuyao, was born in Fuzhou, and his family was a maritime merchant.

Lin Xiangzu sarcastically said: "Your Yan family weaves silk and dyes cloth in Huzhou. If there are no merchants who sell it overseas, how much money can you make? This is not for the benefit of your family, but also for the people in Huzhou to live on. An extra load of silk , one more piece of cloth dyed, the common people will live on one more.”

  Yan Wosi said: "I have great unity with China, with vast land and rich resources. We can spin and dye cloth, and the Chinese people buy it. Why do we need to rely on the people of foreign countries?"

  Lin Xiangzu laughed angrily: "I'm too lazy to explain this, go home and ask your father!"

   "How can we talk about parents when we talk about things? This is not the way of a gentleman!" Yan Wosi was also angry.

   Seeing that the two were about to quarrel, Wang Zhiliang raised his hand to tell them to stop, and said to the students: "Who still has a high opinion?"

Zhang Guangzu raised his hand and said, "Teacher, the student has something to say. The student comes from the countryside of Chenzhou Prefecture, Hunan Province. There are many mountains and narrow land, and the people live by cultivating corn and sweet potatoes. When the student was young, there were only good fields in the mountains and valleys. , were all occupied by those gentry and landowners. As for the small people in the mountains, there are many who have no land to cultivate. There are eight brothers and sisters in the student's family. Death. Why is this?"

Zhang Guangzu glanced at the crowd, his eyes were a little rosy, and continued: "Because there are too many people and little land, the land is barren, and it is not easy to cultivate. In the famine years, there will be no food to fill the stomach, let alone buy medicine to cure the disease. Today, the Holy Son of Heaven is raising troops. Chenzhou The government will gain great unity. The evil gentry in the mountains will be punished, the poor farmers will be given land, and they will be able to grow corn and sweet potatoes. And the landless people will also migrate to the north, so the mountain people will live and work in peace. Students are poor families. The Holy Son of Heaven implements a benevolent government, not to mention being able to study at Jinling University, it may be difficult to survive."

  Some poor children in the class nodded their heads when they heard this.

Zhang Guangzu also said: "Students must read every issue of Datong Monthly. Now China's population has reached nearly 100 trillion. At this time, it may be possible to immigrate to the north. What will happen in a year? At that time, not only the south will be overcrowded, but the north will also be overcrowded." There are more people and less land. Although Huaxia China has a large land and rich resources, it can support hundreds of millions of people? This situation and reason have been discussed in newspapers by the Holy Son of Heaven, and also discussed in "Datong Collection". There is only one feasible plan, and that is to open up borders. Tuotu. I heard that the land in Luzon is fertile, and this is the land opened up by the Holy Son of Heaven for the people of China. It is also like that Annan, this is the homeland of the Ming Dynasty, and it can be harvested to let the people cultivate it!"

Yan Wosi said: "It is good to be able to expand the territory for the descendants of the Chinese people. But soldiers are unpredictable, who can guarantee victory in every battle? If you fail to use troops abroad, you will spend too much money, and you will be stuck in a quagmire from which you cannot extricate yourself. How did the previous dynasty lose Jiaozhi? Foreign lands and peoples refused to obey the king. It cost countless money and food to seize Jiaozhi, and the long-term garrison cost countless. The more territories and lands were opened, the flames of war were everywhere. This was the case in the previous Ming Dynasty. A country's finances can only support the northern army, and if Jiaozhi rebelled, all previous achievements of the Ming court would be wasted."

   What Yan Wosi said was militarism, which is also what many scholars worry about.

  The north is using troops everywhere, and at this time it is going to the Ryukyu. It seems that the emperor will fight many battles in the future. An agricultural country cannot support wars on all sides, and rebellions will peak if you don't pay attention.

Yan Wosi glanced at Lin Xiangzu and Zhang Guangzu, and said sharply: "You yearn for the prosperity of the Han and Tang Dynasties, but you don't know that with the wisdom of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, you can also sin against yourself!" He pointed at Zhang Guangzu again, "You said you were born Poverty, but if the imperial court resorts to military force, the most suffering will be the poorest people in the world!"

  Zhang Guangzu hesitated to speak, not knowing how to refute.

Zhao Shilin stood up suddenly, smiled and said: "You are sophistry. To expand the territory, is it bound to be militaristic? Where to fight, where not to fight, when to fight, and how to fight are all based on the camera. It is like controlling water." Who would be so stupid as to build embankments when a flood that never happens in a hundred years hits? It is self-guided. It is the same in war. The enemy has a powerful and wise king. Why should I fight him? I am full?"

  Zhao Shilin is from Chengjiang, Yunnan, in the area of ​​Yuxi.

  He studied with the monk Awakening since he was a child. He is talented and intelligent, and he has a photographic memory. The awakened monk is not a serious monk either, he abandoned Confucianism and followed Buddhism because he couldn't get used to the corrupt world. He was a talented scholar before he became a monk.

  Not long after Yunnan was recovered, the first class of elementary school students had not yet graduated, but Zhao Shilin insisted on being admitted to Jinling University.

  The main reason is that the Awakened Monk is very powerful. During the rule of Mu Tianbo in Yunnan, he asked his friends to get the textbooks from Zhao Han's site, and after self-study, he passed on the knowledge to the students.

Yan Wosi thought for a moment and said: "Now that the Holy Son of Heaven is in power, foreign conquests are naturally invincible. But what about after a few generations? If too much land is expanded in a short period of time, once the national power falls into decline, all newly attached lands will be reversed." .”

  Zhao Shilin joked: "If you are afraid of the Hetao, you will not take back the Hetao? If you are afraid of the Western Regions, will you not take back the Western Region? If you are afraid of being tripped by a stone while walking, just don't go out from now on."

   "Nonsense!" Yan Wosi didn't want to argue with this person any more.

Zhao Shilin said sternly: "Your Majesty said that when he said to expand the territory, he just set a national policy. It is like the elders of the family set the family motto and let the future generations study and become officials. What's wrong with it? You insist that the family's property If you are not rich, your children and grandchildren will go to school, the whole family will not have enough to eat, and finally the whole family will die of hunger. I give you four words: give up food because of choking!"

   "Well said, Uncle Lin is a great talent!" Zhang Guangzu clapped his hands in praise.

  Yan Wosi blushed with anxiety, and suddenly didn't know how to refute.

Zhao Shilin took out old newspapers, pointed to the world map and said: "The Netherlands, a small country in Quer, has also invaded Southeast Asia. Spain, whose mainland is not much larger than the Netherlands, occupies a vast land in America. The Zhou Dynasty divides the world, The feudal lords opened up the frontiers and expanded the land, and China began to have Kyushu. The world today is like the pre-Qin period. There are foreign countries and barbarians everywhere, and overseas fertile soil everywhere. Why can't we, the descendants of China, follow the example of the ancients and lay down a bigger Kyushu?"

The more Zhao Shilin said, the more excited he became: "At that time, all the people overseas will be my Chinese people, and the world will be my Chinese land. When you arrive in Luzon, you will speak Chinese. When you arrive in Ryukyu, you will speak Han. That is Annan and Tianzhu. , are all my Chinese clothes. Wouldn’t it be great if I had this?”

  Yan Wosi didn't want to argue any more, but said in disgust: "Madman! Madman! You will be a warlike person in the future!"

Zhao Shilin rolled up the old newspaper and held it like a sharp sword in his hand. His expression was really crazy: "Under the whole world, is it the land of the king? On the shore of the land, is it the king's minister? Use my sword of China to open up the future of future generations. Good land!"

   After saying this, nearly half of the students in the class shouted: "Use my sword of China to open up fertile fields for future generations!"

  The Datong army was always victorious and undefeated, regaining lost ground one after another, which made many scholars become iron-blooded. Zhao Han also published historical territory maps and world maps in the newspaper, which immediately made these iron-blooded people even more fanatical.

  Zhao Shilin grew up in Yunnan, surrounded by ethnic minorities, and his thinking is even more radical and open.

  Yan Wosi only felt that there were lunatics all around him. If the government was controlled by these people, the country would surely be brought into the abyss of eternal doom.

  There are many iron-blooded fanatics, and there are also many like Yan Wosi. One-third of the students in the class feel that they should not be violent.

  This is just a microcosm of a scholar. When Zhao Han's newspapers were published, scholars from all provinces were busy holding debates. By the lake, in the river, in the teahouse, in the restaurant, or even in the brothel, there will always be quarrels because of this topic.
