Chapter 276
In Lin'an City, there were many people, and I don't know how many people rushed to the streets, just waiting to see the departure of the Chen army, who had caused a shocking disaster in the capital a few days ago.
From Lin'an Taixue to Houchaomen, on both sides of the streets and alleys, there are all people rushing out from the high places. After every window on the street shop, there is a scholar in Confucian uniform. As mentioned above, there are 100,000 scholars in Lin'an City! This number is a bit exaggerated, but 50,000 is definitely more than 50,000! There are more than 10,000 people with officials alone.
During the Lin'an Incident the day before yesterday, scholars in the city disappeared. No one drew their swords, nor did anyone jump into the West Lake to sacrifice for the Song Dynasty. They all hid in the dark and watched the situation.
Today is the day when the Chen family army marched to the Northern Expedition. These traitors who caused rebellion in Lin'an, robbed princesses, killed envoys, and forced Zhao Yun of the official family to abdicate, were finally leaving Lin'an.
But can Lin'an City be transformed into the world of literati and civil servants?
At this moment, there was a discussion about current affairs in the private room in the private room near the window of every restaurant near the Imperial Street.
The people involved in these discussions are not the ruling factions on the table. The people in power have all gone to the outside of Houchao Sect to send the Chen family army to the northern expedition. Even a few of them who are unwilling to be with the rebel ministers are all pretending to be sick behind closed doors, as if they are about to die and have no interest in politics.
Those who come out to post now are all so-called pure and simple figures. Some are students with different status, some are student aides of some Taoist masters, and some are "famous scholars" who sneaked into various places outside Xingdu. In short, they are all inconspicuous people, but they can influence Xingdu public opinion.
After the capital change, the military officials raised their heads and the civil officials were weak. It was an indisputable fact. The people inside and outside Lin'an City were helpless. They did not expect to regain control of the four vassal states for the time being. However, Chen Dexing and Chen Huaiqing used martial arts to win the soldiers. This was a violation of their bottom line.
The Song Dynasty was known as the king and the scholars and officials sharing the world. What is this "scholars and officials"? It is the heroes who came out of the article, which does not include martial artists who are skilled in martial arts, proficient in military tactics, and able to kill enemies for the country on the battlefield. The Song Dynasty was actually the Song Dynasty, which was a senior scholar! The official family was actually the agent of senior scholars!
Although the military man's status grew more and more after the southward transition, he could never shake the core of the Song Dynasty's political system - the article to select scholars! The system of taking the examination to be an official should have originated in China. Theoretically, this system of selecting officials, regardless of blood ties and only articles, was very fair. He gave most male subjects in the Song Dynasty the opportunity to become officials.
Compared to the bloodline, I don’t know how much progress has been made by reincarnation! Therefore, for nearly a thousand years, the imperial examination system has always been the most mainstream mechanism for the generation of officials in China. In modern times, the "civil servant examination" and "civil servant examination" were still popular in many advanced countries. The selection of grassroots civil servants through the examination became the mainstream of the world.
Therefore, the progress of the imperial examination system is unquestionable!
But there is a lot of work to do if you can get an official exam!
Testing the poem? Testing moral articles? Or... Testing the military and martial arts? Speaking of practicality, writing poetry and moral articles is probably not as good as military and martial arts? If all the officials of the Song Dynasty were proficient in military techniques and had excellent martial arts skills, how could various Tartars succeed so easily in China?
As for managing local governments, the ability to manage military tactics and martial arts is not necessarily more useless than writing articles with poetry.
Therefore, the only advantage of the imperial examinations that write poetry and write articles is to guide the heroes in the world to abandon martial arts and follow literature! Everyone does not learn military tactics or practices martial arts. It is useless to study poetry and books. If you pass the exam, you will be useless to fail.
In short, I will not threaten the Zhao official family's world! The plan of Emperor Taizu of Zhao Song and Emperor Taizong was very successful in a sense! In the original history, the situation of kings and scholars sharing the world was maintained until the Southern Song Dynasty was destroyed in Mongolia!
Even if a powerful traitor like Jia Sidao meets a foolish official like Duzong, there is no possibility of usurping the throne and seizing power. In other words, he met Chen Dexing, a soul that had traveled through time in later generations, and deliberately pulled up a "brainwashing army" with the majority of Han people in the north. Only after a mutiny was used to completely tear off the decency of civil servants and scholars.
By using martial arts to win the scholars is to dig the foundation of the Southern Song Dynasty, the literati regime! For the scholars who gathered in Lin'an, using martial arts to win the scholars is to cut off their futures or their nephews. So how can they not make them hate them so much that they are itchy at all?
Before, the Chen family army was stationed in the capital and martial law was strictly enforced day and night, so they naturally did not dare to say much. But today, the Chen family army went on a war, what else do they have to worry about?
"...We all grew up reading Master Wang's "Poems of Child Prodigy". We have known since childhood that the emperor values heroes and teaches you articles. Everything is inferior, but only reading is superior. Now, everything is inferior, but only martial arts is superior!"
"... Now the emperor is not the emperor in Xingdu. It is Chen Huaiqing and Chen Dexing, the thief father and son! If they can't read their own books, they will be ashamed of others. If they are jealous of the wise and can do this, they will not be able to achieve any kind of climate. They will not know when they will be defeated!"
"...There is no such simple thing? It is bad news for us to win the soldiers of Jiangnan by using martial arts. It is good news for the generals from the north and west! We are sure to beat them by the articles. How can we fight for the scholars when we compete with martial arts?"
"Hmph, this is the old man Chen Huaiqing showing kindness to the generals and soldiers! He wants to win over the generals and foreign aid and usurp the Song Jiangshan together!"
"The traitor and the traitor are delusional. They will be the same as Dong Zhuo in the future, and Li Jue!"
"... Nowadays, the Chen family is not alone in the court. Jia Pingzhang, Pu Dasan, and Wu Xianggong, Jiang Dasan, Ma Dasan, and Zhao Lao Gong from Jiankang must be waiting for the opportunity and are preparing to eliminate the treacherous one stone!"
Just as the scribes were talking in various restaurants and restaurants on both sides of the Imperial Street, the people on the street suddenly burst into the biggest cheers!
The Northern Expedition Army has already opened the Imperial College Camp!
When the soldiers of the Northern Expedition Army in the brigade and armor appeared in the eyes of the people, the people who had arrived from the slums in the east of the city were suddenly shouting loudly under the organization of the Ming people.
All the scholars and literati stopped talking and looked around the window. The first thing they saw was Chen Dexing’s figure riding on a tall horse. This young general who had overturned the family law of the Song Dynasty for 300 years in a few days, wearing iron armor and riding on the horse slowly had a kind of self-righteous demeanor. The staff of the Northern Expedition Army and the newly formed cavalry generals of the Northern Expedition Army were surrounded by him. These people were as young as Chen Dexing, but everyone had a bright eyes, and their bodies exuded the kind of refined smell that only soldiers who had been on the battlefield had, and a strong murderous aura. Just coldly swept the pavilions on both sides of the road, which made the green-shirted scholars shudder!
Then rows of officers dressed in light armor walked at the front of the Northern Expedition Army. They were all graduates or school students from the camp military academy, and were the absolute backbone of the Northern Expedition Army. At this moment, what they held was not weapons, but a pole to the Mongolian military flag. The most eye-catching one was the nine-super Sulu ingot spear - they were the legendary nine-stop white flags! They were the symbol of the Great Mongolian Kingdom and once belonged to the Mongol Da Khan!
The big flag that once made countless countries and people in the East and the West shudder now hangs on the ground, swinging weakly. This scene is very clear to tell the people of the Song Dynasty Xingdu - Chen Dexing is invincible, and even the iron cavalry of the Mongolian Khan is also their defeated general!
And you either follow, be patient, or die!
Three thousand tigers, plus less than 10,000 people who joined the army in Lin'an, have been replaced with brand new battle jackets, some of which are covered with iron armor, and spears or big swords are heavily carried on their shoulders, and a dazzling flash in the sun. Six cannons that have blasted the Chaotian Gate are also in the team. Each cannon cart is dragged by six tall horses, and artillery soldiers wearing red jackets are following the left and right. The black muzzles and the pitch-black cannon body are shining in the sun, as if they are some magic weapon from hell!
When the Northern Expedition Army passed the Yan Bridge, the curtains were gently opened up the floor of a spice shop. Pu Shougeng and Liu Xiaoyuan were quietly looking at the heroic soldiers who were heading for the Northern Expedition. Liu Xiaoyuan was now wanted, but Pu Shougeng was safe. In fact, Chen Dexing already knew that he was enlightened, but he didn't want to use the power of the Southern Song court to force him to jump over the wall... This wool should be cut slowly, and it would be bad to kill the sheep in one go!
"Brother Haiyun, can Yousufu's people solve this problem with Chen Dexing?" Liu Xiaoyuan suddenly closed the curtains and looked back at Pu Shougeng. His face was so gloomy that water was about to drip out of water.
Pu Shougeng was also a little numb. Chen Dexing is no longer Chen Dexing before entering Lin'an! The Song Dynasty court in Lin'an also has his own family! If Chen Dexing knew that he wanted to deal with him, he could mobilize the power of the Song Dynasty court!
"Brother Haiyun, don't worry... I have a way to help you get the secret edict from the official family! You are a minister of the Song Dynasty. The name of killing thieves is righteous. Even if you fail, Master Jiang from Fujian will protect you." Liu Xiaoyuan gritted his teeth and showed another trump card!
"The secret edict of the official family?" Pu Shougeng was stunned for a moment, "How is it possible? Princess Shengguo and Chen Dexing are together!"
Liu Xiaoyuan sneered: "The Supreme One is the Supreme One, and the official family is the official family!"
"But the mind of the official..."
Liu Xiaoyuan snorted coldly: "There is a father in the official family! The Supreme Master takes care of the princess, but he only knows that Chen Dexing wants to seize the Song Dynasty!"
Chapter completed!
