Chapter 336: The Siege of Jiangning (10)
"Luo Yiren..." Huo Chong felt that this name made him unconsciously think of Mu Renzhi.
"Teacher, is Chen Mingtai crazy? He actually sent someone from a Qing official's house." Wan Qian asked.
Huo Chong looked at the bulging belly of his six apprentice, and could only pretend to be unseen and smiled: "Maybe Mr. Chen thinks we should be surrendering and betraying."
Hearing this, Wan Qian couldn't help but roll her eyes and muttered: "He can't help but think too much."
Huo Chong did not take this incident, but just asked the personnel arrangements behind the Statistics Bureau she managed. After hearing this, Wan Qian grabbed Huo Chong's arm and said, "Teacher, I will come back to work after giving birth. Don't drive me away."
"Lao Liu, the Chinese imperial court was not the Qing Dynasty, and women could not be officials. As an official, you are not at the retirement age. You can leave as long as you want? You think too much."
After hearing what Huo Chong said, Wan Qian felt a little relieved. She chatted for a while before leaving.
When Wan Qian left the door, Gong Yu was brought in, "Lord, I don't know who I want to meet."
"It was sent by Chen Mingtai, so it should be interesting."
Gong Yu frowned, "The person sent by Chen Mingtai... this is a straitor."
"Anyway, there must be many places that are better than me, otherwise Chen Mingtai would probably not have sent such a Yangzhou person."
"Sir Zhang or Luo?"
"Oh? Do you know each other?"
Before Gong Yu could answer, the guard had already led Luo Yiren in. Luo Yiren clasped his fists and saluted, "Hello Mr. Huo."
Huo Chong looked at it and saw the young man opposite him in his twenties, chubby, bright and sharp eyes, and a feeling of dissatisfaction. He should have been a little resentful towards Huo Chong.
Before Huo Chong could speak, Luo Yiren's eyes fell on Gong Yu. He subconsciously tilted his head, and his eyes became even more unfriendly.
Gong Yu laughed, "Brother Luo, I can't miss you too."
"Brother Kong, how are you? I heard that he is already the governor of Jiangsu."
Seeing that the two of them were a little nervous, Huo Chong was a little confused about the grudges between these guys. Instead, he found it even more interesting. He said desperately: "Little kid, sit down."
Luo Yiren sat down, and was not polite, and told Huo Chong directly what he thought.
Regarding the difficulty of making a living in the world, those Hakkas who had to go to the south to explore because they had no land were of course the most difficult. However, in terms of the overall difficulty of making a living, the two Huai Rivers are undoubtedly the most difficult in the world.
Since the Yellow River has been south for hundreds of years, a group of lakes has been forced to be found in Anhui. Because these lakes do not have a smooth outflow channel, the lakes themselves are very shallow, and they will flood in the rainy season. The people are in danger and their lives are very painful.
"Mr. Huo, I think you are too arrogant. The people in the Huai River live so fiercely that they produce dentist soldiers. If Mr. Huo implements land reform in the Huai River and recruits people, 100,000 elite troops will be at their fingertips. With 100,000 orbital soldiers to conquer the world, the Qing Dynasty will be inadequate."
Huo Chong was a little surprised after hearing this. Luo Yiren's view on the lives of the people in the Huai River was the same as Huo Chong, but Huo Chong was considering how to solve the floods in the Huai River. If possible, Huo Chong really hoped to open up rivers so that the Huai River could restore the situation of fish and rice in the Southern and Northern Dynasties.
Before Huo Chong could speak, Gong Yu said coldly: "What you think is how to be eager for quick success or instant benefits."
Luo Yiren rolled his eyes and replied disdainfully: "The world is about you who finished the show. Although my method is for quick success and instant benefits, it also gives the people a way out. The so-called plan forever is just those people putting gold on their faces. Is there really a way to keep it unchanged for a hundred years? Just like Zhu Yuanzhang established a military household and had a nine-sided military town. In just a few decades, the military households have become slaves. The military town is also guarding the court. If Mr. Huo has today's situation, it means that Mr. Huo can take the lead in reforming."
Huo Chong could understand what Luo Yiren said, but when he saw this between Luo Yiren and Gong Yu, he became curious. It seemed that there was really a deep grudge between the two.
Gong Yu retorted at this time: "Did you think if you use a large number of Lianghuai Tooth Soldiers..."
"I'm just worried that the two Huai fangs will become a climate in the army. Why is this difficult? If we say that the two Huai fangs will be easy to use. If we say that the two Huai fangs will be easy to use. If we say that the two Huai fangs will be easy to use. If we say that the two Huai fangs will be easy to use. If we don't need them, we can always use them to defend the city. As for other fangs, we can just recruit them from the two Huai fangs. I think Mr. Huo is unwilling to let these brave and unconceptualized people become officers and have the weight of speaking in the army. Let's do what we say, give them three years, only two years. At most, three waves of people will be six years. Once the world's general trend is achieved, how can we swallow the world for so long? At most, it will be more than ten years. At least three or five years. After the fall of the Qing Dynasty, Mr. Huo used the good family you recruited in a wealthy place to form an army, and wouldn't he still suppress the place one by one?"
Huo Chong felt that he was really moved. Luo Yiren's method was indeed eager for quick success and instant benefits, but Luo Yiren had already set a goal of quick success and instant benefits, which was not a problem.
The entire plan is from beginning to end, with self-consistent logic and reasonableness. Even keeping trust and law, it really means being both benevolent and righteous.
"Kid, what do you want?" Huo Chong asked.
Luo Yiren asked readily: "Mr. Huo, I would like to ask one thing. Why are you so persistent in land reform?"
"...This is a political concept. The so-called foundation of a country is that it cannot bully people."
Luo Yiren was neither excited nor moved. He stared at Huo Chong with bright eyes and continued to ask: "In Mr. Huo's eyes, who is the human being?"
"Ha?" Huo Chong was mentioned such a sharp question for the first time, but he couldn't answer it immediately.
"Mr. Huo wants to seek benefits for the people. I know. But Mr. Huo treats the people as human beings, so the one who oppresses the people is probably not human beings."
"Well. I really want to say that, it's true. But I don't want to say that."
"Mr. Huo, don't blame me. I thought I thought officials and gentry were good people. Before I saw Mr. Huo's proposition, I knew that the landlords and gentry were not self-cultivating farmers. They did not do production and rely on exploitation. They said that they would not wrongly accuse them. However, some people did this, but some people didn't like it, but they couldn't escape. Although Mr. Huo pointed out that the endless exploitation guys were all beasts and evil ghosts in human skin, did Mr. Huo want to tell the people of the world that they turned people into ghosts, but did Mr. Huo tell the world how to turn people from ghosts into humans?"
Huo Chong was stunned and suddenly became suspicious for a moment. Could this Luo Yiren also be a time traveler?
If Luo Yiren was not a time traveler, why did this sound so familiar? And Luo Yiren could actually express a deep meaning to this.
"Hmph! Mr. Luo, you said it nicely at this time, how did you do it before!" Gong Yu's voice was full of hatred.
Luo Yiren snorted, "What crops can grow on the saline-alkali land? Everyone thinks that the world is wrong, but they can only grow into monsters and monsters. When I was young and frivolous, I thought of overthrowing the court, but in the end I didn't understand what I could do. Besides, you think I was betraying you, and I still think someone among you betrayed me. If you have a chance in the future, you will definitely find the truth!"
Huo Chong felt more and more interesting. Originally, Huo Chong always felt that scholars in the Qing Dynasty supported the Qing Dynasty system, but they did not think that there were anti-institutional elements in every era. With Huo Chong's understanding of Gong Yu, Kong Bugeng, and Weber, they were such guys.
However, there are people in the world. It seems that Gong Yu’s old acquaintance Luo Yiren was one of them, and he had a very inhumane past with this small gang.
When Gong Yu heard this, he snorted, and his expression was full of murderous aura. Luo Yiren didn't care at all and continued, "Mr. Huo, who can dominate the affairs of the world? Mr. Huo is both morally and capable, and has made the Qing Dynasty shaky. So far, there are only some marginal figures in the world, or those involved, who have been involved, to join Mr. Huo. Right?"
"Well. I also think the Qing Dynasty's subordinates are very loyal." Huo Chong nodded in agreement.
"That was Mr. Huo who saw the Qing Dynasty highly. The reason why those people seemed loyal in the past was that they believed that the Qing Dynasty was still orthodox, and that was the court in the world. Mr. Huo thought how the Ming Dynasty destroyed the country? Why did no officials defect to Li Chuang and other thieves before the country was destroyed, and no officials defected to the Qing Dynasty. Even when the north was in corruption, the Qing Dynasty kept entering the pass to plunder, and the situation was still maintained."
Huo Chong didn't expect that there were people in this era who could tell history like this, and he was really interested, "I haven't studied this..."
"In the Battle of Songshan in the north, the official army led by Hong Chengchou was destroyed. Sun Chuanting in the northwest was destroyed. Lu Xiangsheng in Henan was destroyed. Since then, the Ming Dynasty field army was completely destroyed. Whether it was the Jiubian Army Town or the officials in various places, they thought that the Ming Dynasty was over. If Chongzhen could have been like Yu Qian, the emperor was captured during the Tumu Fort Transformation, but he did not rush to mobilize the elite troops from the world into the capital, but stabilized all parties. In this way, the field army was still there, and could echo the government and military towns in various places. However, Chongzhen was eager for quick success and instant benefits, and saw that the situation was critical, he would gamble. He lost all his hands and lost all his money."
"Oh... So that's it." Huo Chong only felt a bright feeling in his heart, and many things that once felt were obvious at a glance.
Even though he was praised by Huo Chong, Luo Yiren looked calm. It can be seen that this was definitely not the first time he said such a thing, nor was he the thought he had just had. Before saying this to Huo Chong, Luo Yiren not only formed his own view of the world, but also improved and understood it thoroughly.
Luo Yiren continued calmly, "Mr. Huo. You are extremely dangerous when you raise an army in Shandong. However, there are people in Shandong who are looking for Mr. Huo. The people in Shandong think Mr. Huo is a good man. It was because of Yongzheng's cruelty that he wanted to kill Mr. Huo. Therefore, Mr. Huo fought against the Qing Dynasty, and all those who had nothing to do with him stood by. When Mr. Huo occupied Shandong and defeated 100,000 official troops. The people in Shandong understood one thing, and only Mr. Huo said it in Shandong. Although he was forced, he also admitted that Mr. Huo was the biggest in Shandong."
Huo Chong couldn't help but defend himself, "Hey! Kid, isn't this because I breathe and share the hardships with the people?"
Luo Yiren was not polite, "That was Mr. Huo and Mr. Huo's subordinates who shared the same breath and hardship. The people of Shandong would not think so. They just knew that as long as Mr. Huo was still there, the court would not be able to take care of Shandong. The so-called county officials were better than to take care of them now, that's what happened."
Seeing Luo Yiren like this, Huo Chong could only sigh. He was indeed young and energetic. Moreover, if these literati really had a rebellious intention, it would be astonishing.
"Mr. Huo killed Yongzheng, and the Qing Dynasty's world was already shaken. Many people in Jiangnan talked about this matter, and they said that Emperor Tianqi of the Ming Dynasty died casually. He said that Emperor Tianqi fell into the water and died of illness not long after. Chongzhen died casually and hanged himself on the coal mountain. After that, the Emperor of Southern Ming died easily, and he died casually. When he arrived at the Qing Dynasty, Huang Taiji died casually. He said that he was killed by Dorgon. Shunzhi died casually. He said that he died for a woman. Although Kang Si had been emperor for 60 years, he rode around on horseback two days ago, and then his head was chopped off. Over the past two hundred years, the emperors have appeared one by one, and just like ordinary people. Everyone thinks that these people should not be emperors, but become emperors. So they were backfired."
"Die casually... Is there anything else to say? Haha." Huo Chong was amused.
However, Luo Yiren looked very serious, "Mr. Huo, don't laugh. You said you share the same fate with the people. When Kangxi was alive, he also did a lot of things. He built rivers and sorted out the land. He made many plans because he wanted to preserve the country of the people. But it was not the truth to say that he did nothing good. But what can this be done? As soon as Kangxi died, Mr. Huo had risen a few years ago and disrupted the world. If he only knew how to share the same fate with the people, it was just a flash of light and pity on himself. People like to say that today is not as good as the past, that is nonsense. Even when Kangxi was in great prosperity, with Mr. Huo's current strength, would he be afraid that Kangxi would not succeed?"
Huo Chong felt that Luo Yiren was afraid of his flattery, but when he heard this, he felt relieved. The reason why Huo Chong did not rebel during the Kangxi period was not because he was afraid of Kangxi. It was because Huo Chong really had no power. If he had enough power, there was no difference when he rebelled.
"Mr. Huo. Although I don't know if Mr. Huo planned this way, it was right. If Mr. Huo had no plans, he was even more talented and would return to the destiny of heaven. As long as more than 100,000 Qing troops in Jiangning were destroyed, Huo Xiansheng would live a life of your good family to maintain the situation from Shandong to Jiangsu and Zhejiang. He used the elite soldiers of the two Huaiyao soldiers to kill all the way to the upper reaches of the Yangtze River. If he could capture Baidi City and block the gateway to Sichuan into Huguang. Everyone in the world understood that the Qing Dynasty was no longer the court. Although the loss of these 100,000 people, it would not really be a loss that could destroy them for hundreds of thousands of people and millions of Eight Banners. However, once the Qing Dynasty was considered to be nothing but the Qing Dynasty, not the court. The people of the world immediately abandoned themselves. At that time, Mr. Huo surrendered and rebelled and rectified the local area. The situation of the Southern and Northern Dynasties had already been achieved. And...huhhh..."
Just when Luo Yiren was showing off, Gong Yu suddenly shouted: "Did you say enough?"
Luo Yiren looked at Gong Yu's anger and couldn't help laughing out loud, "Haha, not bad. The one behind is what Brother Gong saw, so I almost took it out to show off."
Huo Chong turned to Gong Yu, and before he could speak, Gong Yu said, "Lord, we were young and frivolous back then. He also made some big talk. If the situation came so, the Lost Master would send a side army north to cross the Yellow River and regain the capital. Then he went west along the eight passes of Taihang to capture Taiyuan. The people of the Qing Dynasty were cut off. If the Qing Dynasty had only the northwest, no one would have thought that the Qing Dynasty was the court. The Manchus and Mongolia were just barbarians in the north at that time. Although the world was ravaged by the Qing Dynasty, my China had been restored. It was just how to regain the old land in the northwest."
After hearing this, Huo Chong realized that these guys had no idea that they had enough knowledge and then came up with a plan of rebellion that was in line with the Qing Dynasty. Instead, they first came up with such a set of things, and then decided to come to Huo Chong to propose this set of things to Huo Chong.
The entire model is very similar to Zhuge Liang's right to Liu Bei's Longzhong.
Interesting. Huo Chong touched his chin and found it really interesting. It turned out that this is how the literati of this era did things.
I was considering it. I heard Luo Yiren say, "Mr. Huo. I want to ask, does Mr. Huo really not make people have private land?"
Huo Chong didn't have to think and answered decisively: "Land is owned by state or public, this is justice. Children, this is justice."
Luo Yiren asked, "I wonder why Mr. Huo thinks it is justice?"
"Justice is one's unshakable belief. If it is shaken, it is not called justice. Justice itself is the most bloodthirsty, the most brutal, and the most firm. Because the means to achieve justice on the political level is war." Speaking of this, Huo Chong wanted to compare Luo Yiren's thoughts, so he asked: "Children, what do you think war is."
"There is no righteous battle in the Spring and Autumn Period." Luo Yiren answered very decisively.
"That's right. Because the Spring and Autumn War was entirely for the sake of interests, not justice. The Qin State unification of the world can certainly be said to be the interests of the Qin State. However, this kind of war has justice and injustice. War is the continuation of politics. The real war is to impose my justice on others. I, I firmly believe that the public ownership of the land is justice. And the comrades who believe in my justice gather together. What we have to do is not to join the group to keep warm, nor to be self-pity. We want to publicize our justice in the world. Therefore, we chose war. In this war, whoever chooses to survive in the war must accept our justice. Those who want to gain status in this war must support our justice and serve our justice."
After Huo Chong finished speaking, he felt that Luo Yiren might be crushed by this heavy justice.
Chapter completed!
