Can you live forever

Chapter 412 Gemini Switching, Affecting Chiyu

Donglin Academy, Vimo Heart House.

This is the place where Xu Jie reads and works. For Xu Jie, who is like an old monk, Yan Na, who has always supported him, said excitedly at this moment: "Zisheng! Turn around! You can't do this. If you take this step, you will be lost forever." !"

"What they want is the independence of Jiangnan. Why are we doing this?"

"Are you afraid of the court to such an extent?"

"Would rather go to reform than be independent?"

Yan Na thinks that Xu Jie is crazy. Even though Xu Jie's reputation has been in the sky for more than a year, Yan Na still doesn't think Xu Jie can go this way, and he shouldn't even think about it!
This is voluntarily giving up the support of the entire Jiangnan!
Xu Jie didn't even open his eyes, but asked calmly: "In your opinion, what is the basis of the combat effectiveness of the new army we have trained?"

Yan Na said without hesitation: "Of course it is a new method of training troops, a new combat concept, and a brand new firearms and equipment."

Xu Jie shook his head and said: "These are just superficial strengths. The real strength of the new army is that we have completed the equalization of land and exempted taxation, and distributed the land to every household."

"It is the support of the people in the south of the Yangtze River for the selfishness of the land."

"So, they knew that Nanjing and the imperial court seemed to be at odds, and they knew that the Japanese riots in Jiajing were actually a war between the imperial court and Nanjing, and they were willing to fight."

"It's not that they want to start a war and help us overthrow Ming Dynasty."

"It's about protecting their own interests."

"They have expressed their choice of the two systems of Ming Dynasty with practical actions. This is an alternative vote, not a war."

Xu Jie opened his eyes and looked at Yan Na, but he didn't say half of the words.

Now it can only be counted as a vote, but if it is really independent and becomes a rebellion against Ming Dynasty, then the nature is completely different, and it will become a war.A war against the will of the people...

Yan Na was stared directly at by Xu Jie, and swallowed nervously, trying to explain something, but didn't know where to start.

He could only speak bluntly: "Jiangnan is so big, we don't just have these new troops, any of the various forces doesn't have an army under their hands, if there is a real fight, even if there is no new army, we can stand up to the court."

"How can the wealth in the south of the Yangtze River be compared to that in the north?"

"If we spend money on this war, we can win it!"

Xu Jie sighed, walked to Yan Na's side, patted his friend on the shoulder, and said, "Under a great reward, there must be a brave man. The word must shows that there are only a few of them."

"And there are some things that money can't buy."

"For example, military soul."

"The imperial court can hold high the banner of the Ming Dynasty, so the new army of the imperial court is the soldiers of the common people. They are to defend the family and the country, to promote the publicity of the world, and to open the way for the imperial court's reform."

"So they have sufficient will to fight, and they have sufficient subjective initiative."

"Up to the general, down to the soldier."

"They... are trying their best to win the battle."

"As long as you look at the battlefield of the Japanese Invasion and how crushed the imperial army is, you will understand the difference between whether an army has faith or not."

It's not that they can't see it, it's just that the success of the new army's training has given them an illusion.

They didn't think about what the core of the new army was.

It’s not about loyalty to the emperor and patriotism, but about the “fairness and democracy” that Xu Jie instilled in them in the Donglin Lecture Hall, and made them believe that everything Nanjing does is for fairness and democracy.

under past propaganda.

The Jiangnan gentry voluntarily gave up most of the land and completed the deeds of equalizing the land. They became "understand the righteousness" and supported the reform.

Xu Jie can put sheepskins on them, and naturally he can also take them off.

Therefore, after the training of the new army, Xu Jie was not afraid of the backlash from the gentry in the south of the Yangtze River. He had the confidence to carry out a vigorous reform, and pointed the finger of capital increase at these wealthy people.

"Zisheng, you... have you planned to do this from the very beginning?"

Yan Na felt that Xu Jie was quite unfamiliar. He always thought that he knew this friend very well, but he never thought that what Xu Jie did in the past was not to deceive the world and steal his name to seek fame and fortune.

but actually doing these...

His good friend turned out to be a true saint, not a hypocrite.

"I don't know if you can understand, but I don't have to do this. Everything I do is to defeat the court and defeat Zhang Zhixiang. If hypocrisy can be done, then I will be hypocritical."

"If hypocrisy is not enough, then I am more gentleman than Zhang Zhixiang."

"that is it."

Although Xu Jie is carrying out the will of the White Snake, his normal behavior is still based on his original body, so he is not a gentleman and saint, and everything he does is for himself.

It's just that now he doesn't care about fame and fortune.

"But……"

"But what's the benefit of promoting you? Leave your name in history? Impossible. The pen of history books is always in the hands of literati. You have offended the gentry to death. In the future, I am afraid that you will be the most treacherous official since ancient times, not for what. The sage who established his life for the people..."

Yan Na still didn't understand.

Those who were with Xu Jie didn't know the existence of the White Snake. Rather, they knew that Xu Jie had obtained the power related to the White Snake, but they hadn't explored what the White Snake was. Xu Jie was no longer human...

"Isn't Wang Yangming becoming a saint? His reputation will be even greater in the future." Xu Jie said indifferently.

Yan Na let out a "hey" and said, "Didn't Wang Yangming compromise? He didn't hand over the evidence to Wu Zong, and he didn't accompany Wu Zong to sweep the south of the Yangtze River, but persuaded Wu Zong to return to Beijing."

"Wu Zong's death is not directly related to him, but it is indirectly related."

"He didn't help, Wu Zong died."

"This level of relationship is inside. Do you think the gentry can discredit Wang Yangming? Wu Zong won the victory in Yingzhou. If Wang Yangming is really there to assist, Wu Zong may not be able to sweep Jiangnan."

"The big guy accepted his love, so he was promoted as a saint!"

Yan Na knew that Wang Yangming's ideas were indeed powerful, but what was the use of being powerful? If the gentry didn't praise him, he would be really offended, people would die, and if they couldn't be spread, what would be the use of ideas?
Who dares to learn from the mind-study scholar?

Not to mention changing one's mind.

Yan Na's rebuttal was also admonishing him, he didn't want his friend to go astray and die in the end.And he, Yan Na, will not be able to get rid of his responsibilities at that time, and I am afraid that he will also be notorious.

"Wu Zong's foundation is too shallow, and his steps are too aggressive. It's useless for anyone to help him, but his life will be ruined."

"The gentry are sympathetic, but what did Yang Ting and them do? Once the time has passed and Wang Yangming's military power is relieved, it's time to kill the regicide."

"Wang Yangming wouldn't have died so early if grief and anger hadn't formed."

"At the end of his life, he won't say anything about 'my heart is bright, so I can't say anything'. Although he has seen it through and knows that he is not wrong, but he also understands that the world does not understand him, and will slander him in the future. remove."

"If it weren't for Zhang Zhixiang, I'm afraid that when he died, he wouldn't have the freedom and ease of 'leave it for future generations to comment'."

Hearing what Xu Jie said, Yan Na couldn't help it: "No matter how the gentry treats Wang Yangming, at least he has Zhang Zhixiang who can help him rectify his name."

"If you die, who will help you rectify your name?"

"Is it Zhang Zhixiang?"

Xu Jie smiled and said, "That's impossible, he wished I could disappear into the historical records."

Seeing that Xu Jie was still "sober", Yan Na heaved a sigh of relief, and said, "So, Zisheng, let's change our method and take our time, and we can't let the people we betrayed."

However, Xu Jie replied calmly, "But I won't die."

Seeing that Xu Jie is so conceited, although Yan Na knows that Xu Jie has extraordinary power, but when there is real civil strife, it is not a matter of assassination or non-assassination. Surrounded by the army, can you survive?
"Even if you can win against the gentry, can the imperial court just sit back and watch in this civil strife?"

Yan Na tried his best to persuade him again.

Xu Jie smiled and took out a letter to Yan Ne, saying, "This is Zhang Zhixiang's reply to me. He said that before my reform is completed, I will not exceed the battlefield designated by the Jiajing Japanese Invasion."

"This……"

Yan Na looked at the letter and was still in a daze. He didn't expect Xu Jie to cooperate with Zhang Zhixiang, and Zhang Zhixiang really agreed.

"Is that why Zhang Zhixiang agreed?"

He still couldn't believe it, Xu Jie knew what he meant, and said: "There are no other conditions, I just promised him one thing."

Yan Na hurriedly said, "What's the matter?"

Xu Jie said in a faint voice: "He killed the black dragon, I can't intervene."

"Black Dragon?"

"Oh, it looks like this..."

After Xu Jie explained, Yan Na finally understood Xu Jie's true strength, and what Xu Jie had sold. Isn't this cold-hearted?When the black dragon is dead, Ming Dynasty has conquered Xiluozhou.

At that time, how could they defeat Daming who had a steady stream of resources from all over the world?

"Where is there any lip and teeth, I and the black dragon have never been on the same road, it's just that compared with China, other civilizations are better controlled."

"But the premise is that the Chinese civilization is destroyed."

"At the juncture of Daming, there is no need to go far away to develop in the valley."

"You don't know, even if you can fully inherit the technology of Ming Dynasty, it will take at least 200 years to sort out those Xiluo people who just came down from the tree and didn't spend their youth."

"Even if there is a black dragon to help them shorten the process, it will take decades."

"I can't wait that long."

"When the Longevity Revolution is over, everything will be lost, and there is no need to fight for anything."

The White Snake and the Black Dragon were not in the same group at all. It was just a coincidence that they got together in the previous life. It was just that the Xiluo people became powerful, and the Chinese civilization was weakened to the extreme, and they were running wildly on the road of Westernization. Cause the black dragon to sit big.

Otherwise, a mere black dragon, a lizard-like thing, why should it be compared with the final dragon.

……

At night, the city of Titlan, oh, is now renamed Chaoge.

The Shang Dynasty has died, and the Yin Shang and Fusang in Shangzhou have become history. The capital of Yin was razed to the ground by Mojiao a hundred years ago and has become a ruin. Titlan is the capital of the Aztecs. Not an ancient capital.

The capital of Fusang is Chichen Itza in the northeast of the Yutanca Peninsula. This place is in the middle of the North and South Shangzhou, and it is the most convenient place for North-South maritime exchanges.

It was also the territorial center of the Fusang Kingdom. After all, the Inca Empire was also part of the Fusang Kingdom.

However, Chichen Itza has now been captured by the Xiluo people, and the war has advanced to the front line of Guatemala. Most of the territory of the Mayan Empire has been lost, and it is completely supported by the Aztecs.

Of course, after losing the sacred dragon scale, Chichen Itza is not so important.

Although there is countless wealth there, and it can even be called the city of gold, it is only worldly wealth.

The Mayan heritage was not lost with the fall of Chichen Itza.

Instead it was transferred.

After the first emperor ascended the throne and became the lord of Shangzhou, those Mayan inheritances were transported to Titlan City, and Titlan City was also renamed Chaoge and became the capital of the entire Shangzhou.

The emperor, who likes to make big projects, did not carry out any construction on Chaoge. Since he ascended the throne, he has mainly focused on the integration of Shangzhou.

For him, war seems to be just a matter of convenience.

In fact, this is indeed the case. As long as the resources of Shangzhou can be coordinated and deployed, and the Yindi'an people can unite to communicate with each other and defend against the enemy together, the pressure on the Xiluo people will suddenly double.

Obviously, the Aztec emperor Monzumat II had been beheaded, and the plague had been spread in the city of Titlan.

But because of the arrival of the First Emperor, the advance of the battle line has stagnated, and even began to face the opposition of Yindi'an people, two months, or three months?Under the circumstances that Emperor Shihuang did not pay special attention to the war at all, the Xiluo people had already begun to retreat steadily, and they might be driven into the sea in a short time.

And in Chaoge's palace.

After sensing the arrival of a certain existence, Emperor Shihuang put down his pen and came to the gate of the palace to wait quietly. After a long time, Zhang Zhixiang's Yin God came over, and Shi Huangdi looked at Zhang Zhixiang and asked, "Can the Yin God also carry things?"

He could see clearly that when Zhang Zhixiang came over, he brought toys like rattles.

Compared with the palaces in China, the original imperial palace in Titlan City is very simple. Yiqiong has always lived in the palace belonging to the prince. One is to avoid suspicion. Although the first emperor did not have a harem, Yiqiong could not live in it. Those who intend to let Zhang Zhixiang's children inherit the throne.

"Generally speaking, it is indeed necessary for the Yang God to capture objects."

"There is a widely circulated story that Master Ziyang once traveled to Yangzhou with an eminent Buddhist monk, and the two picked a viburnum from Yangzhou. After returning to their senses, Master Ziyang had the flower in his hand, while the eminent monk had nothing in his hands."

"To this."

"Ziyang Zhenren said, My golden elixir Dao is to cultivate both life and soul. That's why when it gathers, it forms, and when it dissipates, it becomes qi. Wherever it is formed, the true god appears, which is called the sun god. Those who practice it do not understand the Dao at first. Desiring to achieve quick success, the body is like a withered tree, the heart is like dead ashes, the spiritual consciousness is kept inside, the will is unshakable, and the spirit of Yin comes out of the center of concentration, it is a ghost of pure spirit, not a fairy of pure yang, so Qionghua is not taken."

The First Emperor understood, and said, "This Yang God is not that Yang God."
