Rebel

It turned out that one day, Gu Ao came to Chen Village to hand over his daily living assets to Dian Bushi. As soon as he walked to the entrance of the village, he met Chen Bo head-on.

Uncle Chen's gray hair has gradually turned completely white in the past few years, but his complexion has become more and more energetic. He only heard the old man shout from a distance: "Sir! The old man heard that you got all the children in the village. The Academy is going to school! This is really a great merit! Lizheng said, I want to invite you to eat with wine! Chen Jiang's mother also said that she would like to thank you personally!"

Gu Ao was stunned for a moment, then paused and said: "It's all right, don't worry about it. It's their struggle. When the rogues came, the masters in the academy thought of them."

Uncle Chen approached, took Gu Ao's hand, and said, "Hey! The old man knows that they are fighting for their strength! But if it wasn't for Mr., how could they have a chance of fighting for their strength? Our village is at the foot of Yunshan Mountain. He was born a big man, so he knew that reading is good! Look at how many people in the village spend their wealth for their children and grandchildren to study. How can there be any other villages outside that can compare? To tell you the truth, our Chen Village is different from other villages. It's really different! It's a pity that those masters before didn't have good eyesight, and didn't know how good the children in our village are! But you, sir, can recognize people with eyes, and we are all grateful to you!"

Gu Ao recalled the scene when he first came to Chencun, and thought of the present, and said with relief: "God helps those who help themselves, this is also the result of your hard work."

"Hey! Anyway, the elders in the village are all very happy!"

When Gu Ao heard the words, he smiled slightly: "I'm so happy, they may go out to explore the world after they study, how can you folks be willing?"

"Why can't we bear it! We can think about it! How can there be young eagles in their nests that don't fly off the cliff? We are willing to let them fly!"

Gu Ao said: "Well, since this is the case, if there is an opportunity to become an official in the future, I will help them pay attention."

"Oh, sir, what did you say out of the ordinary?" Uncle Chen laughed: "The elders in our village mean to say where the husband will be in the future, and let them follow! Let's all see, except for the husband, there is no one. People can see that they are good, Mr. has taught them for a few years, understand them!"

Gu Ao thought for a while, then nodded: "I will consider this matter."

"Hey, sir, you still have something to do, the old man won't drag you down." As he spoke, Uncle Chen waved his hand to Gu Ao: "Sir, you have something to do, hurry up!"

Gu Ao nodded, and said in a salute, "Then take a step ahead."

Crossing the field ridge, Gu Ao came to Dian's hut, and saw Dian Bushi leaning on the thatch pile in the courtyard from a distance, looking down at something.

Seeing this scene in his eyes, Gu Ao couldn't help being slightly stunned, he seldom saw a person who didn't know how to read a book.In my impression, Dian Bushi usually learned martial arts from the academy, either leading the children to do work, or waving left and right with weapons that were close to him. I don't know why he started reading books today.

When Gu Ao got closer, Dian Bushi was still concentrated and didn't notice it, just buried his head in his head.

Gu Ao lowered his eyes and glanced at what was held in Dian Buzhi's palm, and saw that it was a roll of worn-out bamboo slips that looked familiar, with a sense of simplicity, Gu Ao immediately remembered that this book seemed to be called "The Great Tomorrow King Kou Kou Kou Kou Kou Kou" Kou Xing Ji".

Gu Ao walked up to Dian Bushi and patted him: "What are you looking at?"

Dian Bushi was startled, he let go of the book and almost shook the book, regained his senses, stretched out his arms to fish it, then put the bamboo slip in his jacket belly, stammered for a moment: "... ...I...I'm reading the book my father left me!"

Gu Ao looked at the way Dian Bushi hid the book, raised his eyebrows and said, "Just read it, why are you sneaking around?"

Dian Bushi's face turned purple for a while, and he didn't know how to explain it, so he looked at Gu Ao in embarrassment without saying a word.

Gu Ao thought: "Look at the name of the book, and it was given by his father, so it must not be a pornographic book. So unwilling to show it to others, could it really be..."

Dian didn't know Gu Ao was still looking at him inquiringly, his eyes seemed to have understood it long ago.

Gritting his teeth feeling helpless, Dian Bushi finally raised his head and said to Gu Ao: "My father told me not to show this book to others, but Mr. Gu, you are not someone else, let me read it to you. It doesn't matter..."

Saying that, without knowing Dian, he stretched out his hand and handed the book to Gu Ao. Gu Ao raised his eyebrows slightly, took it in his hand, and then read silently with his eyes down.

It doesn't matter if you read it once, as soon as you read the first sentence, Gu Ao seemed to be sucked into the words, and stood motionless in place.

It's a bit strange that I don't know the classics. Although this book is said to be passed down by the ancestors, it is indeed taboo, but since I have been able to read it, I have read it for so many years, and it seems that there are only a few things written, which are straightforward and unremarkable. Surprised, why does Gu Ao look a little fascinated?

The writing in it is also extremely simple. I have read it many times, and I can almost recite it now, but it is just a few sentences:

"Heavenly King is lucky to be in Koukou County, and the common people will join the road to rejoice and provide food and rice for the army."

"Since the king of heaven is here, divide the fields and equal the land."

"As soon as the king of heaven is gone, the people are eager to follow the army. When the king passes through a village, the village is empty. When the king passes through a county, there are no more males in the county."

"One hundred thousand can make an army, ten thousand can make a commander, there is nothing like me to match the army of the whole world."

"Every time the king of heaven goes to a place, he will kill his son, hang the city as a policeman, open a granary to stimulate the people and the army, and the soldiers and the people will leave with food, full of joy."

"Heavenly King said: The key to becoming an army lies in the gods. If you have the help of gods, everything will go your way!"

"The sky is dead, and the king of heaven will be established. The year is Jiazi, and the world will be blessed!"

Dian Bushi looked at Gu Ao, saw that Gu Ao held the book in his palm and watched it for a long time, his face was as motionless as a mountain, he couldn't help wondering: "...Mr. Gu?"

Gu Ao turned a deaf ear and even waved his hands to signal him not to speak.

Dian Bushi was surprised, he felt that there was nothing wonderful about this book, why did it attract Gu Ao to read it fascinated?

What Dian didn't know was that, unlike himself, Gu Ao had studied the troubled times for 200 years in the Chengyuan Palace, which was full of literature, for five full years.

So Dian Bushi can't see the sound of the words, but Gu Ao can see it at a glance; Dian Bushi can't see the simple words, but it is like a small stone, thrown into the ancient knowledge, stirring up waves Ripples...

In fact, sometimes, people need an opportunity to wake up.

Some people have experienced too much, and they wake up from a dream when they see a yellow leaf falling and know autumn;

Some people travel thousands of miles, suddenly stumble and then become enlightened;

Some people cross thousands of mountains and rivers, and when they see the water dripping on the eaves outside the curtain, they suddenly realize...

But the words described in this book really woke up Gu Ao who had studied hard for five years!

The knowledge that Gu Ao acquired in the academy in the past, all started from the word "口" and the word "bandit" for suppressing bandits, but no matter how delicate and precise the knowledge is, it is like a jigsaw puzzle pieced together to form four squares. last piece...

Gu Ao looked at the bamboo slips in his hand, and countless clues came out of his belly in an instant.

The more he looked down, the more shocked Gu Ao was, and he felt a fire in his heart rising little by little...

It is true that there are many volumes and cases in the Chengyuan Palace, they only record the banditry of the Great Ming King back then, and also record the key points of how to suppress the bandits, but there is one problem that they avoid talking about as if they are speechless.

There are only records in the Chengyuan Palace that at the beginning, the so-called Great Ming King was not the Great Ming King, but a poor scholar who once fell into a bandit and was suppressed by the county guards to only eighteen riders. Mountain, so the county guard withdrew his troops.But when the spring comes again, the poor scholars have pulled out a team of 1 people from the mountains, and in the two months since the prefect reported to the court to ask for reinforcements, the poor scholars have already developed a 10 soldiers and horses. Under the banner of the Great Tomorrow King.

Gu Ao still remembered that in the art of war left by the Taiwei, the section on how to suppress bandits was a brilliant chapter...

For example, at the beginning, the county guards concealed the number of bandits and would try to say as little as possible. As a result, when the reinforcements from the court arrived, they couldn't keep up with the number of bandits.

As a result, many unambiguous creeds for suppressing bandits were developed:

For example, the nine clans of rogues were implicated, and the participants were executed Ling Chi.

——In this way, even if many people are starved to death, they will not become bandits.

For example, to prevent refugees from gathering, gathering is tantamount to rebellion.

——Although this may seem arrogant, it can prevent problems before they happen.

For example, once there is a food shortage, a porridge field will be set up outside the city, guarded by soldiers.

——In this way, even if the porridge and soup are not enough, people can slowly starve to death in hope, instead of rebelling in despair.

For example, to cut off the connection between the rogues and the scholars, even if the scholars accept any property from the rogues, they will be executed promptly.

——Without the guidance of scholars, rogues are often prone to make mistakes.

For example, encircling but not suppressing bandits who are still at rest, causing internal strife.

——The rogues do not farm by themselves, but live by plundering; therefore, as long as they are surrounded, cannibalism will happen.

For example, for the bandits who are fleeing, they only chase but do not stop them.

——The front part is the elite, if you stop them, they will be put to death and come back to life;

——The rear is the remnant soldiers. If you chase them, you can get most of the luggage looted by the rogues.

But in the numerous scrolls in Chengyuan Palace, it never mentions:

How did the rogues go from eighteen to over ten thousand in one winter?

How can it go from over ten thousand to one hundred thousand within two months?

And how do they do it, after the defenders report the number of bandits, the imperial army that comes to clear them up can never keep up with the number of new developments of the bandits?

How did the king of tomorrow do it?

... In this world, no one has ever dared to record such knowledge, because it is the crime of punishing the nine clans.

Ke Dian didn't know this volume, but in just a few words, it clearly wrote - the process of "Da Ming Wang" growing up little by little.

Dian Bushi couldn't see it, because he only had this piece of the jigsaw puzzle in his hand, but he didn't have the other six pieces.

And the reason why Gu Ao understood everything he had learned before at first glance, was because suppressing bandits and uprising are two sides of the same coin, Gu Ao has studied one side thoroughly, and the other side is naturally clear.

The ink and black characters on the bamboo slips are just simple narratives for those who do not know the classics.

But for Gu Ao, wherever he looked, it was a real anti-book. How to implement it step by step was clearly in his eyes, and he analyzed it step by step:

The so-called "When the king of heaven comes, open warehouses to stimulate the people and the army, and the soldiers and the people leave with food, full of joy." It is to say that the rogues do not farm by themselves, and the key to survival lies in plundering food. A village is called a land of plunder.

There is also "every time the king of heaven goes to a place, he will kill the prince and hang it on the top of the city as a policeman."

This means that the first step in plagiarism is that the key is to classify the people in the "land of plagiarism" into two categories, such as gentry and common people, rich households and ordinary people, and Bully and common people...

After marching to the end, either kill the gentry and make the common people become accomplices and share their assets; or kill the wealthy households and make the common people become accomplices and share their assets; or kill bullies and make the common people become accomplices and share their assets...

In this way, these good people such as the common people, Limin, and common people shared the crime of exterminating the nine tribes with the rogues. When the rogues withdrew their troops, the accomplices would join the army because they were afraid of the court's payment. road:

"As soon as the king of heaven is gone, the people join the army and join the army. The king passes a village, and the village is empty. The king passes a county, and there are no more men in the county."

By marching in this way, and bringing the people of the places where they have passed, you will soon reach this state:

"One hundred thousand can make an army, ten thousand can make a commander, there is nothing like me to match the army of the whole world."

Then how to make the people of the world willing to conspire with the bandits?

That is to make slogans early, such as: "When the king of heaven comes, divide the fields and equal the land."

Another example: "Kaicheng welcomes the king of heaven, and the king of heaven does not pay for food."

But even so, what if there are still people who are unwilling to conspire?

It also clearly states:

"Heavenly King said: The key to becoming an army lies in the gods. If you have the help of gods, everything will go your way!"

"The sky is dead, and the king of heaven will be established. The year is Jiazi, and the world will be auspicious."

That is to say, through the theory of ghosts and gods, everyone believes that plundering and dividing property is not unjust, but it is inspired by heaven, which means that the rich and the poor are equal.

The army of the dynasty, all the soldiers, those who transport food and grass behind them, and those who station at the post station, need a total of ten people to support one person.

However, it is not the case with the rogues. Wherever they go, where they eat, and after eating up the local food, they also take away almost all the labor of young and middle-aged people in the local area.

Climbing up like snow, if you meet a wealthy family who is afraid of being confiscated and takes refuge, destroying your family and revolting, the rogues will get guidance from scholars again, supplement them as generals, and grow stronger from then on...

This is the so-called eighteen horses to ten thousand, ten thousand to one hundred thousand, one hundred thousand to sweep the world... From this point of view, it is really not difficult at all!

What's more, the rogue army only passed through the border without guarding it. Every time the imperial court got a place, it had to divide its troops to guard it, but the rogues could fight on the move, and they didn't regard the city as their gain or loss.

And where the rogues passed by, most of the people in distress were relatives of the rogues, who tipped off the news, and there were many people who respected the army and provided food...

The more Gu Ao looked at it, the more thrilling he became, and he followed his eyes:

I saw that it not only records the process of "Da Ming Wang"'s rise, but also records the process of his downfall.

"Throughout the ages, treasures have been plagiarized and treasures are stacked like mountains."

"Ding clangs of jade, gold nuggets and pearls are thrown away, and the king of heaven regards them with no pity."

"How can you take all the Zizhu and use it like sand."

"Guangxiu palace, three thousand court ladies, and night banquets in the harem, non-stop day and night."

"The two sons fought for power, and the heavens died unjustly."

"The four great heavenly generals will divide their troops, and all of them will be trapped by the Taiwei."

Gu Ao's eyes then fell to the end of the writing, and the strokes were exhausted:

——"The record of the Great Tomorrow King's Conquest of the World, the school captain Sima, and the record of Dian Biao."

After reading, Gu Ao's palm holding the bamboo slips was soaked with sweat:

After these five years of poor experience, Gu Ao already knew that it is impossible to reunite the world through the imperial court or the aristocratic family. The predecessor's footprints are stained with blood, and it is a dead end to destroy the old and build the new from top to bottom...

but……

How can we solve this troubled situation?

How can we break through and then stand up?

How can the world be reborn from Nirvana?

If the "top-down" way is full of bones, and it has been written in blood by the predecessors that this way is impracticable, what about "bottom-up"?

...Since Gu Ao was teaching in Chencun, he has been thinking about whether there is a bottom-up approach...

But no matter how you look at it, it seems that the poor family can shoulder such a heavy responsibility alone. The highest poor family in the world is the prefect Lu of Hanzhong County, but apart from him, although there are rich and wealthy people in the poor families everywhere, no matter how rich they are, Wealth still needs to be guarded by soldiers in troubled times; and although there are people like Xun Fuzi who have become officials, most of them are not confidential.

If you look at it from the perspective of enterprising spirit, poor families are all striving for success, while aristocratic families enjoy luxury.

——But the family and surname, after all, hold the lifeblood of the world.

But now that I think about it again, if refugees are added to one place, it will be different...

In the past, Gu Ao has been thinking about this endless universe and chaotic world—where should we start?

Now, this book "The Great Tomorrow King Conquers the World's War Journey" has provided another possibility for Gu Ao...

in case……

Just if:

What would happen if someone reformed the rogue bandits and punished the sons of the evil family on the spot without harming the people, and farmed the fields by themselves and farmed with soldiers?

What if someone perfected that slogan a little more, besides 'equalizing the land', it could also integrate the concept of common people advancing and retreating together, and attract poor families and aspiring families to join the army?

What if someone can govern with sincerity, make their military discipline strict, and treat the people like relatives?

What if someone no longer makes the same mistakes as the King of Tomorrow, who avoids powerful officials, indulges the second son, fulfills selfish desires, sends troops recklessly, and forges ahead with sincerity?

If someone has been studying hard in Shanyun Academy with a salary from a young age...

Moreover, this person is well versed in the way of suppressing bandits... If such a person ends up becoming a bandit himself, who can destroy him?

How transparent Gu Ao is, one point is clear.

How many days and nights, he spent long sleep in the Chengyuan Palace, studying the history of wars and chaos, and delving into the reasons for the failures of his predecessors...

A lot of things, a lot of the past, under the thick accumulation, the complex and complicated in Gu Ao's mind is like a five-car belly, they seem to be shouting, shouting out of the ground, mocking, mocking, no one can trace the root of the chaotic world.

The so-called sudden self-awareness needs an opportunity, an opportunity to break through the ground.

"The Great Tomorrow King Conquers the World's War Journey" is full of details in the book, which suddenly makes Gu Ao enlightened and deafened.

A voice in my heart said:

"——This is the way to harmonize the world!"

Only the combined energy of bandits and poor families can uproot the family and integrate all the soldiers, horses, money and food from all over the world...

It turns out that this seemingly most feminine and fluid refugee hides a masculine masculinity that frightens the world...

Just like a gossip black and white fish, its head and tail are biting together, the black is all white, and there is a little black in the white pole.

Now that man-made disasters have already occurred, there is still a natural disaster and a name.

The so-called name is the grand banner of doing justice for the sky, holding the flag so that the world can't tell whether it's a king or a bandit.

Otherwise, how could the common people in the world think of him as a teacher of justice, upholding the justice of the world, winning grain and respect, and fighting for the king?

Otherwise, how can people from poor families compete with people with lofty ideals from aristocratic families?

What kind of name, it is a question.
