Chapter 67: Military Training 2

For these master and their education, they are used to seeing the words "suppressing the peasant uprising" and jump eight feet high, just like discovering the New World, what a great crime. We really should think about what the so-called "peasant uprising" is. Does it really represent the "people" and "farmers"? When it comes to the origin of the "peasant uprising", it is very simple to say that the words bandits and thieves in traditional history books have been turned over by some masters, and they are all called peasant uprisings. Not only Huang Chao and Li Zicheng are "peasant uprisings", but also "farmers" like the mountain carvings in "Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom" 100 years earlier, it is also "farmers" The uprising, unfortunately, was born too late and crashed into the hands of the great people's regime, so it could only be settled as "bandits". In ancient times, it was called "Jianghu", now it is called "Underworld", in ancient times it is called "falling grass as a bandit", and now it is called "organized crime". It is so simple that it is not so great at all. In history, at the end of a dynasty, natural and man-made disasters, social unrest, and people's livelihood withered. There are many people who have gone into robbers. In a society that is turbulent and crime is rampant, of course, the incompetence and corruption of the government should be blamed first, but there is no need to praise robbers and crimes in turn, because they themselves are part of the turmoil and evil of this society. Isn't this the most obvious truth? The large-scale "peasant uprising" is nothing more than two types. One is a magic stick. A certain magic stick pretends to be a ghost and deceives a group of people to worship, so it expands its ambition and wants to be emperor. There is nothing to say about this kind. Its followers themselves are fooled, deceived, and are the tools and cannon fodder of ambitious people. The "Yellow Turban Army" of the Eastern Han Dynasty and Fang La in the Northern Song Dynasty belong to this category. In addition, there is Zhong Xiang Yang Yao, who was dealt with by Yue Fei. It is said that he raised the witch religion, which roughly belongs to this category. The other type is more complicated, indeed because the people can't survive under natural and man-made disasters, and they take risks, so they become the trend of ablamingyuan. What do you think? On the one hand, they naturally sympathize with their misfortune, but on the other hand, they should also see that after experiencing a huge disaster and using all kinds of burning and looting to survive, they may not have any compassion for their own kind who are still suffering from disaster. On the contrary, due to their extreme experience, Its morality and rationality may have fallen below the lowest level of human beings! Historically, such as Huang Chao, Zhang Xianzhong and others have walked such a road. Anyone who knows history will see that the emergence of these people is by no means a "righteous force". On the contrary, they are created by the oppression of the dark age and in turn become one of the most destructive, cruel and evil parts of that dark era. Perhaps this is a frightening fate of Chinese history.

Whether it is Zhong Xiang and Yang Yao, who has occupied several counties in several states, or the mountain king with only one mountain, once he has mastered the power to kill others, his degree of prestige may not be much less than that of the emperor of the Song Dynasty. This is not a problem that can be solved with the label of analysis. Therefore, for these forces called the "peasant uprising", even if we do not regard them as "bandits and thieves" of traditional historians, they can only be regarded as power centers and separatist forces opposed to the imperial court at that time. According to the saying of some high-level people, it is classified as the "ruling class". If you have to ask who is better and who is worse, and who should win, you can only analyze specific problems, and you can't absolutely think that those "farm uprisings" are extremely righteous.

Huang Chao is just an example of the so-called "peasant uprising". Of course, we can't say that all the "peasant uprisings" must be like that. However, from what I have seen, the description of Zhong Xiangyang Yao's activities: "Burning government, cities, temples, temples and powerful right families, killing officials, Confucianism, monks, witch doctors, divination and people with hatred." You can also see the style of this armed group that started with witchcraft. Regarding Yue Fei's pacified Zhong Xiang and Yang Yao's rebellion, in the imagination of some high-level people, it is naturally full of scenes such as "tired bones" and "the head of thousands of Li people". Unfortunately, the fact is to disappoint them. In the process of pacifying Yang Yao's rebellion, Yue Fei was extremely smooth, just like destroying and rotten. Yang Yao's generals Huang Zuo, Yang Qin, Yu Duan, Liu Xin and others defected one after another, and even tens of thousands of people fell at a time. In less than a month, the "Great Holy King" Yang Yao became widowed. Man, chased by his own troops led by the Song army, had no way out, jumped into the water, and was caught and killed by Niu Gao. The rest surrendered. Yue Fei personally went to various camps to comfort him. The old and the weak were released to the fields, and the young and strong were incorporated into the army. Later, tens of thousands of Yang Yao's troops became strong soldiers of the Southern Song Dynasty sailors and Yue's army. This is also seen in the history of Song.

The important thing is not why Yang Yao failed, but why did such a situation happen? In addition to the high prestige and great charisma of the national hero Yue Fei, the most important reason is that Yang Yao's armed group had no way out at that time. Zhong Xiang and Yang Yao took the opportunity to rise in the Dongting Lake area when the Northern Song Dynasty collapsed and social chaos. However, with the anti-war activities of Yue Fei, Han Shizhong and others, the Jin people's offensive was stopped, and the social order in the vast southern Song Dynasty ruled areas was quickly restored, and social production and economic development became the need of the society of the Southern Song Dynasty at that time. Yes. A society that always spends in the state of robbing houses and occupying mountains is not a normal society. Except for being appreciated by some masters full of "continuous revolution" and "revolution to the end", it could not be recognized by the real majority of ordinary people at that time. Therefore, there is nothing more in their interests than letting the surrendered old and weak go home and let them live a normal life. On the other hand, in terms of ethnic relations, the people of the Southern Song Dynasty still face heavy pressure and may be invaded and plundered by the Jin people at any time. In public and private, Yang Yao's followers have no reason to follow Yang Yao to the end. Of course, some high-level people can put a ridiculous label of "traitors in the peasant uprising" for Huang Zuo, Yang Qin, etc. However, the actual situation is that in addition to those fools who really believe in the "The Virgin Mary and the Heavenly Father came down to earth", they participate in the "peasant uprising" just to make a living. When the "peasant uprising" is obvious Why do you follow along when there is no future? Zhao'an and Zhao'an, in their opinion, are as ordinary as job-hopping, just like Mu Guiying, a general of the Yang family, talking about Niu Gao in Yueli. The choice of Yang Yao's subordinates is wise. What is ridiculous is the shameless people who still worship Yang Yao, the leader of the armed gang who has been abandoned by their subordinates, as treasures.

Therefore, Yue Fei pactched Yang Yao's rebellion, won the support of the people, and even received the support of Yang Yao's own followers. We should justly announce that Yue Fei's pacing Yang Yao's chaos is neither a stain nor a sin, but another great achievement of Yue Fei's resistance to gold.

Cao Muwen thought that, like Yue Fei, Wang Shouren is not a bad person, let alone a "suppression of peasant uprisings". If you really want to comment, you can only have a different understanding of how to solve the current social crisis. Cao Muwen thought that a small sense of guilt in his heart had just disappeared. Chi Zhongrong, Xie Zhishan, Lan Tianfeng, Zhan Shifu, and Chen Yaneng, who are wandering around, Gong Fuquan, are righteous and reasonable, but we... Cao Muwen rarely used "we" once and looked in the direction of Wang Shouren. I think we are also righteous. Although neither side is so 100% righteous and righteous, this is not a reason to affect us. What should be done is always done.

At this time, there was a sudden cheering outside. Cao Muwen listened to the cheers of those trainers. It seems that Liu Qianhu has conveyed Wang Shouren's instructions to let him rest. Listening to the slightly noisy sound outside, Cao Muwen's heart is full of mixed feelings. These people are just ordinary people, but also ordinary people who only want to make a living...

The voice outside also seemed to disturb Wang Shouren. At this time, he raised his head from the copywriting all over the table. Cao Muwen noticed it and hurriedly said, "I'm going out to remind Liu Qianhu not to let his soldiers make such noise." After saying that, he raised his foot to go out, but he didn't expect Wang Shouren to smile, wave his hand holding the pen and said, "Forget it. These days, they have also trained hard." Wang Shouren stood up at this time and walked in the tent again. Some said, "You have worked hard these days."

When Cao Muwen heard this, his face turned red and hurriedly said, "No, my lord is too modest. I'm just following you these days..." Cao Muwen thought about what to say. "You are busy dealing with these military affairs every day, and you have to do some things in the governor's government. You have to go to two places every day. It's hard to go back and forth.

Wang Shouren laughed and said cheerfully, "After what you said, I run a lot every day, but thanks to Gong Chen, I just took a look at some daily * transactions and instructed him to copy according to the script, and I also exerted a lot of strength." Wang Shouren thought for a while and said, "Since we have been working hard these days, let's go back to the city earlier today." Go back to rest early." Wang Shouren walked to the table and poured himself a cup of tea.

"Well, I understand, my lord." Cao Muwen nodded and said that it was noon now, but Wang Shouren had not had lunch yet. I don't know when he planned to go back or had lunch first in the camp?

"My lord, it's noon now. It's time for lunch." Cao Muwen asked, "I don't know if it's here or going back?"

"What? Is it already noon?" Wang Shouren was shocked when he heard this.
