Chapter 62: Nanhai Railway Journey 2 In addition to the Xu Xiake brothers who are determined to go to Sanya to see the scenery of "End of the World", there are also some scholars from various backgrounds who also plan to go to Sanya.
However, they are naturally not going to Sanya to see the beautiful scenery of "End of the World".
In the past few years, I have followed the "Australian Song Emperor" there to seek wealth. , the "Ausong Kun thieves" only sent a partial army led by Wen Desi and Ma Qianzhu to land in Lingao.
It is said that they were "criminal Kuns" who were expelled from the Kun Song Dynasty and were sent out, similar to the "punishment" of serving as cannon fodder in ancient times.
With "disciplined troops", they can sweep across the Pearl River, bombard Guangzhou, and sneak attacks on Fujian, causing chaos in Lingnan and panic among the people.
Now, it was the "Emperor of the Australian Song Dynasty" who came in person with the imperial guards, which made people's faces change even more.
Although I heard that the "Emperor of the Australian Song Dynasty" left soon, and finally did not have a royal chariot to conquer the Ming Dynasty, he left the Supreme Emperor to sit in Qiongzhou, establish the "Sanya Xingzai", and also convened the "remainers of the old Song Dynasty" from all over to discuss the big plan , no matter how you look at it, it is still a pattern of plotting against the territory of the Ming Dynasty.
In this way, if "loyal men" like myself can go deep into the enemy's nest regardless of hardships and dangers, find out one or two secret military information, bring it to Guangzhou or Nanjing and present it to the Ming Dynasty officials, and win the favor of a certain "Ming Lord", maybe we can become With your career advancement, promotion and wealth are just around the corner.
Looking at the current state of the imperial court that is wandering around and creating smoke in all directions, according to the crude knowledge of these scholars, the Jiannu in Liaodong, the rogue bandits in the northwest, and the chaos in the south will not be over in a while.
The so-called chaos in the world and the rise of powerful forces are the time for our generation to make contributions.
Of course, there were also a few scholars who saw that the Ming Dynasty was almost exhausted and there were signs of chaos in the world, so they had other thoughts.
As the saying goes, a good bird chooses the tree to roost in.
Some of them have even explored the path of "joining the establishment and becoming a cadre" in Lingao County.
However, the poor treatment of having to shave their heads and starting from a petty official really discourages all self-esteemed scholars.
Fortunately, although the Australian and Song officials here in Lingao look down upon others, there may be some royal relatives, important ministers and officials in Sanya who can recognize talents with a keen eye.
It's just that even if you want to surrender to "Australia Song Dynasty" in your heart, you still have to put on a righteous and unparalleled face on the surface.
Isn't it sung like this in the drama?
Those servile wallflowers and softies, even if they are accepted by the king, they will not Often due to lack of integrity, they are looked down upon and have no hope of being reused, and there is even a risk of being dismissed.
On the other hand, those loyal ministers who behaved with integrity and uprightness were favored and valued by the king of the enemy country, and enjoyed the "official-level" treatment of visiting the thatched cottage and paying homage to the virtuous corporal.
In short, these ignorant, naive and pretentious scholars came to play as amateur spies with all kinds of intentions.
At the beginning, this group of people was a little nervous, fearing that they would be interrogated and examined by the thieves.
Unexpectedly, those thieves didn't seem to take them seriously at all.
They easily bought a train ticket to Sanya, and immediately relaxed greatly, and even had the energy to comment on others.
However, because Xu Xiake, the "shaved man" whom they criticized with words and writings, never responded, several scholars who thought they were very moral had been talking to themselves for a long time and found it quite boring, so they changed the topic and started Discuss the possible actions of "Kun Thief" in the near future.
"Brother Nian, you have all seen in the past few days that the Qiongzhou Prefecture is really raging with fierce flames and smelly everywhere.
Barbarians from all over the world have been trapped by the Australian and Song Dynasty bandits.
As I said on the dock, I See, the number of the giant ships alone is no less than hundreds, and the number of red ships on board is There are at least ten thousand barbarian cannons, tens of thousands of barbarian soldiers from various countries, and even flying boats flying rampant in the sky.
The imperial navy of the southeastern provinces are by no means a single enemy.
If the imperial court could not have done something earlier, If you take precautions, I'm afraid another catastrophe of Wu Huan Hua will happen again."
"Yes, the wolfish ambitions of the Australian and Song thieves have been exposed.
Otherwise, why would the king personally inspect and supervise the war?
If these ungrateful people are allowed to take over the world, I really don't know how they will prey on the people."
Another scholar stroked the stainless steel column next to him with compassion, and said, "Look at this colorful iron house and this railway that is hundreds of miles long.
They are all made of fine iron.
I don't know.
How many people in Australia and Song Dynasty were so arrogant and extravagant when they wasted human and financial resources?
The gentry and common people in Qiongzhou have been harmed by them.
If we could not make plans early to curb such arrogant thieves, half of the people in the south would be in ruins.
Only by doing our best to spy on the enemy, can we share the worries of the imperial court and the common people at the bottom.
To relieve the disaster and eliminate this serious trouble for the people of the imperial court."
All the scholars and Confucian scholars were convinced of this.
In their opinion, a place like Lingao with severe punishments and laws was really not a place where superior people like them could stay.
Not long ago, there was a new young master.
He just teased a common girl in the street and was arrested by the government before he slept with her.
No matter how much money the family spent on it, it was useless.

But he had fame.
The scholar of Song Dynasty actually said that everyone is equal before the law.
Bah, those ant-like untouchables dare to have the same status as the gentry.
It is really a ruin of etiquette.
It is intolerable.
As for this bustling market, it is nothing more than an illusion.
Previously, the bandits sacked Guangdong, defeated several sea pirates, and took away a large amount of goods, all of which were piled in this small Lingao.
How can this Lingao market not be rich?
Look at those flashy street lights, tap water, and railways - they are simply spending money to make outsiders look good and to confuse ignorant people - just like when Emperor Sui Yang was there It's no different than wrapping a tree in silk in Luoyang.
All in all, in a feudal society with extremely strict hierarchical concepts, the landlord class would feel unhappy whenever they saw the working people living a comfortable life, even if it did not harm their own interests.
They thought that these poor people had forgotten their duties and dared to keep good things.
Enjoy it for yourself, instead of paying tribute to the superiors and squandering it.
Poor people should swallow the chaff and eat vegetables.
A group of them starve to death every few years.
How can you want to eat meat and drink wine?
This involves both conceptual constraints and economic considerations, because according to the gentry's thinking, purchasing land and collecting rent is the safest business method.
In ancient Chinese society, land has always been the property with the strongest value-preserving ability.
It does not require complex knowledge or a lot of energy to have a stable income.
Even if there is a war, as long as you hide the land deed and wait until peace returns to the world, you can take it out.
No matter whether there is a change of dynasty or not, the government will acknowledge it.
Even if all the tenants die in the war, it doesn't matter, as long as you recruit more tenants, there are so many refugees anyway. .
Although the agricultural capitalist management method of running a farm may be able to make more profits, it is troublesome and energy-consuming after all, and there is also the risk of business failure and bankruptcy.
How can it be so easy to release land to collect rent and transfer all risks to tenants?
Just like in modern society, if someone inherits a company to do business, it will definitely be much harder than inheriting a house to collect rent, and the risks are also much higher.
But there is a premise for this easy way of living, that is, the only way out for all the tenants in the world is to farm for the landlords honestly.
If the most humble tenants have a better way of living, live a harmonious life, drink wine and eat meat all day long, can they still make cattle and horses for the landlords with peace of mind?
Even if they still grow crops for the landlords, they I have to eat a large part of it myself, and I can still have some left over to give to the landlord.
To put it simply, for the landlords under the tenancy system, in order to ensure the cheapness of labor, it is an unforgivable sin for poor people to live too well.
Therefore, whether it is a capitalist or a socialist system, if you want to If we want to develop the economy and achieve industrialization, we must eliminate the landlord class in order to release a large number of rural laborers who are tied to the land.
So, Jiang Gong led a group of party-state elites " After moving to Taiwan, they had to learn from their old enemies, implement land reform, forcibly deprive Taiwanese landlords of their land, and kill more than 10,000 Taiwanese landlords on charges of fraud.
Only then did Taiwan's economy have the foundation to take off.
Otherwise, today's Taiwan The situation in Taiwan was probably not as good as that in the Philippines.
Then, perhaps due to the reincarnation of cause and effect, the descendants of Taiwanese landowners organized the Green Party, which was like a "returning group" and launched a counterattack decades later.
In the same way, even if it is just to maintain this extremely cruel system of exploitation, the landlords and rich people have to make most of the poor people in the world struggle on the verge of death, and they have to come up with a set of theories to justify their own ingenuity.
Supported by plundering and cruel exploitation.
Such a long-term and persistent confusion of right and wrong has created an extremely deformed social concept over time.
These four words "people will eat each other" are naturally unforgettable for the refugees in hell.
But to the officials and gentry, it was just four words, no different from "moral turpitude" or "immorality".
Compared to Emperor Hui of Jin who said, "Why not eat minced meat?"
, they may have a little more common sense and know that meat is just more valuable than bran.
What to do when hungry people are about to starve to death?
Follow the teachings of the saints.
Starving to death is a small matter, but indiscretion is a big deal.
You should "die in peace and hunger".
The thief is just a small favor for the hungry people who are about to starve to death.

How can we have the kindness to educate all people?
Since you can't support yourself, you should follow the teachings of the saints and die in peace.
How can you shamelessly commit yourself to the thief?
It's really shameless.
You have no father, you bring shame to your ancestors, and you deserve death.
Although you have never read a book, you must be like Boyi and Shuqi who did not eat Zhou millet and starved to death in Shouyang Mountain to be called strong-minded.
In short, the scholars of the Ming Dynasty always liked to use the standards of saints to demand others, and at the same time they were only willing to enjoy the treatment of saints because in their understanding, the world should revolve around them.
If something violates Knowing this means that this thing should not exist "Hey, a mere untouchable dares to challenge the gentry.
Ever since the bandits came, the people in Lingao have been deceived into inhuman beasts by them.
They don't know what their duty is."
A scholar clenched his fists and roared in a low voice.
Said: "In this way, the barbarians are transformed into Xia, and it is a great sin to poison the people."
"Yes, these trains, ships, and other strange and ingenious things look evil, and they must be harmful to the country and the people.
When the king regains this place in the future, he must destroy all the evil things. , and then kill all the traitors who have been bewitched, so that Qiongzhou can have a prosperous future. " "Haha, I think the heroes have the same idea.
After the royal army crosses the sea and conquers Lingao, they must massacre the city.
Kill and burn this demon city and ghost land in seven days.
These people who have no fathers and no kings must be slaughtered.
All the false kuns were disemboweled, and then the Australian and Song dynasty thieves were driven back into the sea."
A Confucian scholar who seemed to have been taught a lesson by a fake policeman and had a few scars on his face and body raised his thumb and said so through gritted teeth.
In short, according to the above-mentioned way of thinking, several scholars made countless accusations against "Kun thieves" and "fake Kun".
It's a pity that there is no one to flatter and support, and after all, this is the territory of the thieves, and they dare not shout loudly for fear of being sent to jail and squatting in a dark room.
So, all the scholars had no choice but to compliment each other, and then found a place to sit down, some drank herbal tea, and some ate fruits.
However, what they didn't know was that just a short distance away from them, there were several real "pillars of the imperial court" who had been ordered to sneak into the bandit camp.
"It's rare, it's really rare.
I didn't expect that in the hinterland of the enemy's nest where the thieves are entrenched, there are still so many righteous men who are thinking about the kindness of the imperial court.
Although it is a bit rash to pretend to be shocking here.
But the heart of a pure person is still there.
Worthy of praise” On another iron bench in the waiting room, another elegant and heroic young man wearing a square scarf, a lake blue silk trousers, foundation soap boots, and a Korean folding fan in his hand was squinting his eyes.
Looking at these impassioned "loyal men" around me, listening to their words of loyalty to the emperor and serving the country, I couldn't help but sigh secretly in my heart. , "It seems that no matter how the world changes, the blessings of the Ming Dynasty for three hundred years are still there.
Even in Lingao, the den of thieves, there are still many loyal and righteous people who have not been deceived and have their hearts towards the Ming Dynasty.
With such people's support, even if A group of thieves are gathering in Qiongzhou, and they are coming fiercely.
As long as the imperial court can unite sincerely and take precautions in advance, things may be better in Lingnan."
Of course, those scoundrels who were beguiled by thieves to come here to work for the tigers after they had a good meal were basically not human beings in his eyes.
However, even though he had never regarded those untouchables as human beings, the young master also knew that if these ant-like untouchables refused to starve to death and instead made a fuss, they could also kill superior people like them. .
However, Kun Thief has been doing charity work and relieving refugees on the mainland in recent years.
Most of the naturalized people here who shave their heads and go to Kun are "life-saving", which is really deplorable.
However, the common people are ignorant and have no sense of righteousness, and are most easily deceived by personal favors.
The thieves have been making waves along the coast in recent years, winning every battle.
They have conquered so many territories because they have the help of these ignorant people.
Their plans are far-reaching.
The sinister intentions are really shocking With such thoughts in mind, the young master's heart became a little heavier.
He was born in a scholarly family.
In addition to reading poetry and books, he also traveled around the world and was involved in the market and officialdom.
Although he was young, he was already a well-informed young man with both civil and military talents.
Over the past few days, what he saw and heard in Lingnan and Lingao gave him a strong impression that the power of the Kun thieves was far beyond the imagination of the imperial court.

And their harm to the Ming Dynasty was probably more serious than the Donglu who repeatedly entered the pass and overwhelmed the court.
If there are more treacherous ministers colluding with each other inside and outside, I am afraid that even the paradise land of Jiangnan will fall into chaos and war.
Just as he was thinking so deeply, his pupils suddenly shrank.
I saw a Ming general wearing Mingguang armor and a bright red cloak, striding into the station surrounded by several "kun thieves" soldiers.
Next to this Ming general, there were several short Japanese warriors with swords hanging from their waists and wooden clogs on their feet.
They were chatting and laughing with the general in exotic Japanese.
They watched the general enter the station and stationed in the station.
The soldiers and "gentlemen" all immediately became solemn and quickly stood at attention and saluted him.
The conductor on the train also hurriedly opened the door, laid out another red carpet, and sent a servant to play the trumpet to welcome the man and the Japanese guests to the first-class carriage of the train, even though it was not yet time to depart.
"Young Master, is that one the invincible man who swept across Liaodong and killed the old slave chief Nurhaci alone?
Huang Pingman was once the vanguard general of the Pingman, so he got this honorific title.
In ancient times, the upper class would not call someone by name unless they were swearing.
What’s its name?”
Seeing this, a middle-aged scholar who looked like an aide couldn't help but lean into his young master's ear and asked in a low voice that in the fifth year of Chongzhen's reign, the Fujian general soldier Huang Shi had a close collusion with the Lingao "Kun thieves".
It’s no longer a secret in the land of Lingnan "It is this thief Huang Shi who was in Fuzhou in the past, and I once had an acquaintance with him."
The young master nodded with a sad face, "Hey, I am a beautiful lady, but these vulgar warriors who do not read poetry and associate with eunuchs really have no loyalty to thieves.
This man Huang Shi was praised by the late Emperor Tianqi back then.
Pillar of the imperial court Unexpectedly, he has now become a rebellious official who colluded with foreign enemies and brought trouble to the Ming Dynasty.
Not only did he liaise with Japanese pirates and bandits, causing harm to the imperial territory, but he also openly haunted the territory of the bandits.
It is a pity that the Dukes of Donglin did not count him as an eunuch at the beginning.
The party has taken care of it.”
When he said this, his expression suddenly changed, "It's not good that the Yellow Thief brought the Japanese envoy to Sanya at this time.
Could it be that the Supreme Emperor of Na'ao Song Dynasty summoned him to give him instructions and lead the Funing Army to rise?"
The army is in chaos, and together with the Kun thieves navy and Japanese Japanese pirates, they are cooperating internally and externally.
If Fujian and Guangdong are invaded, not only will the two provinces of Fujian and Guangdong be unsafe, but even the land of fish and rice in Jiangsu and Zhejiang will suffer military disasters."
"In that case, brother Mi, we have brought many martial arts masters with us on this trip, but the yellow thief doesn't have many guards around him.
Do you want it?"
Another young scholar who was traveling with him also came over and whispered, making a chopping gesture at the same time, "It can be regarded as imitating the past of this thief sneaking into Liaoyang alone and killing the old slave chieftain with his bare hands, thus eradicating the imperial court in one fell swoop.
"This is a serious problem" "Absolutely not!
Although Huang Shi is a deceitful and despicable person, he has experienced hundreds of battles and is highly skilled in martial arts.
Even the slaves of Liaodong have never been able to defeat him.
Even if we go into battle together, we may not be able to defeat him.
It’s better to ask for it, so it’s better to think about it in the long term.”
After hearing these ignorant arrogances, the leader of these real "imperial spies", Fang Yizhi, a famous scholar in Tongcheng whose nickname is "Mi Zhi", immediately broke into a cold sweat, "It's not that I, Fang Mi Zhi of Tongcheng, can't bear to do this.
With a body of seven feet, it was Mr.
Mu Zhai and the Dukes of Donglin who instructed us to sneak in.
Qian Qianyi, the "big leader of Donglin" in Qiongzhou's thieves' den, also known as Shouzhi and Muzhai, was to spy on the enemy's situation for the gentlemen of Donglin and the court in order to prepare countermeasures, rather than to show off his temporary bravery and imitate Jing Ke's assassin.
If all of King Qin's troops are lost and trapped here, who will report the military situation to the princes in the court?"
"Well, I've learned a lesson.
What Brother Mi said is absolutely true.
The one below is really Meng Lang."
Then, amid the different thoughts and hidden agendas of everyone in the station, the announcement to inform passengers to board the train finally sounded oshow7:
