Chapter 553 Rebellion, Reinforcement
Huang Fu looked at the memorial carefully, and when he saw that Fang Xing proposed to smelt the finished copper and then ship it back by sea, he couldn't help shaking his head and sighing: "Dehua, the canal has already been opened, and the decline of sea transportation is irreversible. Why are you doing this?" Woolen cloth!"
Fang Xing said resolutely: "Mr. Xi, even if Fang has been involved with shipping in his life, if shipping is not going well, Fang will not give up!"
"Forget it, I don't care about you anymore." Liewenwang WwΔW. LieWen. Cc"
Huang Fu handed over the memorial to someone to deliver, and said gratifiedly: "The school has already started recruiting, De Hua, this is the beginning of Cochinism! You have done a great job!"
"Just do it, little things."
In fact, Confucianism is the most fond of cultural aggression, so the entire East Asian region is almost a Confucian cultural circle. From this point of view, Confucianism has contributed a lot.
That's why Fang Xing thought of using Confucianism to brainwash the Cochin people, especially the introduction of Cochin history with extra ingredients, I believe it will bring many more people to the sugarcane planting army.
So Fang Xing went to a school in the city to attend.
The classroom is not bad, at least it looks very solid, Fang Xing felt a bit extravagant with that person hugging thick and thin wooden pillars.
Inside sat more than forty boys ranging from seven or eight years old to more than ten years old, and the one above was a Confucian scholar.
The Confucian scholar is reading a book with a book. When he reads a sentence, the students below will follow suit.
"At the beginning of man..."
"At the beginning of man..."
"Sex is good..."
"Sex is good..."
"..."
These children read along loudly, and some of the pronunciation is not standard, but the teacher doesn't care, as long as they can keep up with the rhythm.
"Uncle, most of these students are Cozhi people."
The old man at the gate introduced me.
Fang Xing nodded, the Sinicization of Jiaozhi is not very ideal at present, according to the records, it was after the Li Li Taizu came to power that he began to vigorously promote the Sinicization.
But don't think that this is getting close to Daming,
The underlying reason is that in the East, only Han people have systematic cultural knowledge.
You are not given a choice.
There are also many consequences for not learning. For example, the people of Mengyuan, who were powerful in martial arts for a while, roamed the world.
But force can only flourish for a while, after a long time, just like a man enjoying himself, he will soon be beaten back to his original shape, or even collapsed.
"Mr. Rock."
Fang Xing's thoughts were disturbed by the friendly greeting from the old man at the side. When he turned around, Mr. Li Zhengyang was looking at him with his hands behind his back.
Fang Xing walked over, and the two stood at the door. In the end, Li Zhengyang asked first: "Since you are deeply wary of cochin, why are you willing to let them learn the Four Books and Five Classics?"
"There are still articles."
There are a few cochin children on the opposite side who are biting their fingers and looking at this side, Fang Xing smiled slightly: "Mr. Panshi, it's not that Fang has underestimated Confucianism, but I just ask, can Confucianism strengthen a country?"
"Of course!" Li Zhengyang said proudly: "Since the establishment of Confucianism, which dynasty has never had prosperity?"
"What about after prosperity?"
Li Zhengyang was stunned, and then retorted: "Sunrise and sunset, rise and fall, this is the way of heaven!"
"Can't it be avoided?"
"No." Li Zhengyang said firmly.
The old gentleman was very honest, and he didn't use any words that my Ming Dynasty must be forever.
"But if words can strengthen a country, then why do we need swords and guns!"
After speaking, Fang Xing nodded to Li Zhengyang and walked away.
Zheng He's fleet has already arrived in Champa, and according to the schedule, they will be able to return to Daming in July and August.
Made! I want to take a sea boat of this era!
But Zheng He had already left Champa, Fang Xing could only do nothing.
"Uncle, Mr. Wang has a battle report."
A fast horse stopped Fang Xing on the street and brought the latest news from Wangdu and Wu Yue.
"Let Fang Zheng come right away."
Fang Xing opened the battle report on the street, glanced at it, and hurried to the chief secretary's office.
Huang Fu knew something was wrong when he saw Fang Xing's posture, and hurriedly asked, "Is there something wrong?"
Fang Xing handed him the battle report, and said in a deep voice: "They have already arrived at Xinping Mansion, and found that those wealthy families have gathered in Huazhou. What is this for? Are you going to fight us to the death?"
"Originally, the Cochin nobles were a mess. With this sudden gathering, there must be a leader among them, a powerful and prestigious leader!"
After reading it, Huang Fu said solemnly: "Dehua, this person should not be underestimated. I have been in Cochin for many years, and I have never seen such a powerful family with such prestige."
Fang Xing stood up and said, "Is it very prestigious? This is exactly what I hoped for. This person has contributed a lot to wipe out the last wealthy family."
"Dehua, don't underestimate the enemy!"
At this point in the battle situation, Fang Xing must lead the army to reinforce, finish the final battle, and then the whole territory of Jiaozhi will be considered peaceful.
As an old man in Jiaozhi, Huang Fu worried that Fang Xing underestimated the enemy.
Fang Xing said with a smile: "I still think about my wives and concubines at home, so I dare not underestimate the enemy."
During the reign of Xuande, Liu Sheng died in battle at Jiaozhi, as if the whole army was defeated after being attacked by surprise.
"I'm going to take Shen Hao's Qianhusuo and the other two Qianhusuo to Huazhou, and I'll leave the north to you."
Back at the barracks, Fang Xing summoned more than a thousand households to discuss matters.
Fang Zheng stood up and said, "Uncle, don't worry, I promise to take care of the north."
...
Cochin in summer is uncomfortable, and those who are a little lazy stay at home and don't want to go out to bask in the sun.
But on the dirt road in Zhengping Prefecture, a team of more than 4,000 people was marching towards the south under the scorching sun.
There are more than 3,000 sergeants, and the rest are all civilian husbands driving chariots.
The ground was a little dry and cracked, and the dust aroused by people walking by shrouded the sky above the team.
Xu Jingchang's current image is a bit funny, with a bamboo hat on his head, the armor on his body has been removed long ago, and it is too hot to wear only a single shirt.
Fang Xing was also dressed in unlined clothing, but he sat on the horse without saying a word, and looked at the mountains and forests on both sides from time to time, as if an enemy would come out of it in the next moment.
"I said Dehua, what are you chewing?"
Fang Xing stopped chewing, thought for a while and handed him a green one.
"what?"
Xu Jingchang threw it into his mouth, and immediately squinted his eyes and praised: "It's mints!"
"Just chew it to relieve the heat, don't swallow it!"
Ruan Shuai and Li Liang ravaged the south quite badly, and the people they met on the road ran away when they saw the army, which is evident.
The woods on both sides are deep, and from time to time there are beasts running through the middle that are alarmed by the sound of footsteps.
There are no enemies!
Fang Xing relaxed a bit. If there were enemies lurking, the birdsong should not be heard in the forest.
By lunch time, the scouts had already received a small banner department sent by Wu Yue.
"I've seen Uncle."
The ground was scorching hot, Fang Xing saw the little flag officer's legs tremble when he knelt down on one knee, and said, "Get up, tell me about the situation in Huazhou."
The little flag officer got up, grinned and moved his knees, and said: "Uncle, the enemy's situation has been found out. Li Chengming, the chief thief, has more than 10,000 people under his command. Including the strength of other wealthy families, the rebel army should have 30,000 to 40,000 troops." Dingkou. They are currently in Anren County."
Fang Xing signaled the little banner officer to join the line, then frowned and said, "Are they trying to escape to Champa? No!"
Xu Jingchang chewed mint-flavored gum, and lazily said: "Champa and Cochin are feuds, and the rebels with 30,000 to 40,000 people will die if they go."!
