Confucian self-cultivation: Scholars start from Daqin

Although Gao Jing helped this group of Baiyue refugees, why didn't he take this opportunity to practice it?

It's really satisfying to see results.

After the conversation, Yan Lingji stayed in Wubao, and it wasn't until the next day that she rushed to Gao Jing in a hurry, and blurted out, "Why do you think Tianze will kill them?"

Gao Jing: "..."

Yan Lingji said angrily: "I was fooled by you yesterday. The premise of what you said was that Tianze would let me kill them, but why would Tianze kill his own compatriots?"

Gao Jing: "...you just realized it?"

"..."

Yan Lingji suddenly felt that she was really a little stupid, and her mind was a little confused, she shook her head and said: "No, I didn't mean to ask this... outsiders only know that Tianze is dead, how do you know that Tianze is still alive?

Even I left Baiyue just after hearing the news, intending to go to Korea. "

Gao Jing asked curiously: "How do you plan to go to South Korea? There are many Baiyue survivors in Chu State, and you can pass through easily, but South Korea...do you know the way?"

Yan Lingji proudly said: "I heard that a businessman named Emerald Tiger in Korea has been looking for beauties everywhere... Am I beautiful?"

Suddenly, Gao Jing nodded sincerely and said, "Beautiful!"

It's so beautiful to be locked in a water tank!

Yan Lingji could feel Gao Jing's sincerity, and Gao Jing's eyes were clear and his thoughts were pure. Knowing that this was a sincere compliment, she unconsciously became happy in her heart, and said, "I plan to throw myself into a trap and let the Emerald Tiger send someone to pick me up." When I go to Korea, the Wushuang ghost will secretly follow behind, maybe they will lock me up with my master Tianze..."

"You think too much."

Gao Jing was speechless, and said, "Then why did you detour here again?"

Yan Lingji said: "I just heard that someone helped the Baiyue people build a city, so I came to see it..."

Gao Jing pointed around: "Is this considered a city?"

Yan Lingji didn't speak, but just stared at Gao Jing with some kind of resentment in her eyes.

Gao Jing thought about it for a while, and then it dawned on him that even if King Goujian of Yue defeated the State of Wu and brought the State of Yue to a bright moment, Baiyue at that time was still a tribal system.

Not to mention that after the decline of the Yue Kingdom, it was reduced to "Baiyue", and each tribe was independent. In many places, a tribe is a country...

For Baiyue people, this Wubao is a city!

Rural children still lack knowledge.

Gao Jing looked at Yan Lingji with pity, and said, "Then you can look around more, and you can learn to build after helping Baiyue restore the country in the future..."

Yan Lingji looked at Gao Jing with surprised eyes, and said, "Aren't you afraid that I will learn it?"

"Hehe, don't be afraid." Gao Jing seemed to be coaxing the child.

Yan Lingji said happily: "Then I'll go, don't regret it after learning..."

After speaking, he ran away excitedly.

As for the original purpose... I have long forgotten it.

This firefighter girl... looks a bit unintelligent.

……

Mi Chun is a fat man.

The fringe royal family doesn't need to go to the battlefield or participate in political affairs, so it's no wonder they aren't fat.

Grabbing a handful of jade salt from the jar, Mi Chun's eyes were fascinated, and said, "How can such a good thing be in the hands of those untouchables? Zhuo Li, go and help me get this technology over."

Zhuo Li respectfully stood aside and said, "Your Majesty, I'm afraid it's not right."

Mi Chun asked, "What's wrong?"

"Your Majesty, have you ever heard that Baiyue has this method of making salt?"

Mi Chun was taken aback, and said, "It's true that I've never heard of it... What do you mean?"

Zhuo Li did not answer in a hurry, but asked again: "Your Majesty, who is the Confucian student Gao Jing who talked with this minister?"

"who?"

Zhuo Li said: "Three years ago, there was a child who wanted to be a teacher of Xiao Sheng Xian Zhuang, but was humiliated by the guards because of his low status..."

Mi Chun suddenly said: "I know about this, but in the end, this childish boy fought with all the Confucians, and left the Confucian scholars speechless. However, he had no choice but to accept Xunzi as his teacher... You mean that Gao Jing is the child?"

Zhuo Li nodded, and said: "Whether it is in terms of speech and behavior, knowledge exchange, or age, they are all right. I think it is him."

Mi Chun pondered: "Then this method of jade salt..."

Zhuo Li nodded and said, "Since Baiyue doesn't have one, it can only be created by Gao Jing."

Mi Chun said with some dissatisfaction: "You said Gao Jing, a dignified Confucian uncle, why did he give such an important technology to a group of untouchables..."

Zhuo Li laughed and said, "Confucianism always regards benevolence and righteousness as its own."

Mi Chun fumbled for the jade salt in the urn, pondered for a long time, and suddenly said: "Since Gao Jing said that the method of making jade salt belongs to the group of untouchables, then I just ask the untouchables for it...

Just right, didn't you give those untouchables five hundred weapons and armor?I went out to the army in the name of suppressing bandits. Facing the army, could Gao Jing go back and say that this method was his fault? "

Zhuo Li: "This..."

Mi Chun stood up abruptly, and said, "Needless to say, I've made up my mind!".

Chapter 22 The Confucian Sword

There is such a line in Mulan's poem: "I saw the military post last night, Khan ordered more soldiers, the military book has twelve volumes, and the scroll has the name of the master..."

To be more precise in this era, it is not conscription, but the recruitment of soldiers, calling the various lords, the lords summon the ruling clan, and the children of the clan prepare their own weapons and armor, and then go out.

Prominent nobles also had chariots.

Mi Chun gave an order, and then the call for troops was sent to the hands of all the big families under his rule.

Of course, the lord's summoning of troops is not as powerful as the king's. The king summons troops from all over the country, while the lord can only call for soldiers under his rule.

In this era, the lord has this right.

At the beginning, Shang Yang also recruited troops in his own fief, intending to rebel, which shows that even Shang Yang's "law" faction did not deprive him of this right.

It wasn't until the abolition of enfeoffment and the merger of Han Fei's "magic force" that he lost this right.

Danyang is close to South Korea, but it is not an important military base, because South Korea is too weak.

Although Mi Chun belongs to the royal family, she can't be regarded as an eminent person... At least the whole land of Danyang doesn't even have a chariot.

Instead, three thousand armored soldiers gathered.

With these 3000 people, both Mi Chun and Zhuo Li feel that it is more than enough to wipe out a stronghold built by more than a thousand and one hundred Yue refugees.

In other words, these 3000 people were not actually for the Baiyue refugees, but to frighten Gao Jing.

So Mi Chun and Zhuo Li set off with these 3000 people.

……

Gao Jing who got the news at this time also recruited Shansheng, Zhujie and others.

The startled salamander also came with Xiaoyan.

Naturally, Yan Lingji is no exception, these days she has a feeling that this place is her home... A person who destroys the country has no sustenance, and the peace of mind of being able to be with his compatriots is difficult for others to understand.

So this is Yan Lingji's face is very cold, playing with a ball of flames in her hand, said: "Since the lord here will not give us a way to survive, then kill him."

"And then?" Gao Jing asked back: "What will we do when Chu State officially sends out a large army to encircle and suppress? Will anyone here survive?"

Yan Lingji was speechless, she scratched the flame with her tender white fingers, and said angrily: "Then what do you think?"

"Keep this matter within a controllable range, so the lord cannot be killed, otherwise it will be a rebellion."

Gao Jing first set the tone, then looked at the mountain rope and the bamboo knot, and said, "Also, I can't show up, even Yan Lingji can't make a move."

Shansheng and Zhujie were in a hurry, and when they were about to speak, Yan Lingji said first: "Why can't I make a move? I'm also from Baiyue."

Gao Jing was not in a hurry, his voice was still very upright, and said: "My identity represents Confucianism to a certain extent, so I can't get involved...at least not on the surface.

As for you... The fundamental purpose of this stop is to make Michun realize that Wubao is not easy to mess with. Compared with attacking, cooperation between the two parties is the right way. This is to give Wubao a formal status!

Although you are a wall, you can only represent an individual, and only the strength of the guards can represent the strength of Wubao. "

Yan Lingji didn't know if she understood, but she didn't refute, she just said anxiously: "They have 3000 people, we only have [-], I can't make a move, if you don't make a move, how can we win?"

Shan Sheng also said anxiously: "Yes, sir, without you, there would be no Wubao..."

Only Zhu Jie slapped his chest fiercely, and said: "Don't worry, sir, even if all the guards are dead, it won't make things easier for the lord!"

Gao Jing nodded to the bamboo node in satisfaction, and said: "As long as you dare to fight, everything is possible! If one day the guards protecting the homeland don't even have the courage to fight, then Wubao can only kneel and pray for life."

Shan Sheng's expression moved slightly, and his anxious heart settled down, and said: "In this case, we can't fight to the death, anyway, these more than 1000 lives were picked up by Mr., and those who survived are regarded as earned! "

"Don't worry, I only said not to intervene during the battle, and I can still give you opinions."

Gao Jing smiled, and said to Zhujie: "You have two ways to fight. One is to rely on Wubao as a stronghold to fight defensively. The other is to leave Wubao and face it head-on."

Zhu Jie thought about it, and asked: "Normally, it should be the first type, but since Mr. proposed the second type, is there any mystery in it?"

Gao Jing said approvingly: "War always serves politics, that is to say, war is a means to achieve an end!

The first method, although it is safe to defend the stronghold, in Mi Chun's eyes, it can only be that Wubao's building defense is strong.

The second method can truly reflect the defensive strength of Wubao, and let Mi Chun know that even without Wubao, the people here should not be underestimated!

After all, Wubao can be regarded as under Michun's rule, and belongs to Michun's power. The building of Wubao has nothing for Michun, but the people of Wubao are very useful to him...

Do you know why Confucian disciples wear swords? "

While talking about the war, Gao Jing suddenly asked a question that didn't make much sense, which immediately confused several people.

Several people looked at each other, Shan Sheng and Zhu Jie honestly shook their heads to express their ignorance.

Yan Lingji tried: "For self-defense?"

The startled salamander also made fun of it, saying: "Is it a kind of etiquette?"

"Ha ha!"

Gao Jing smiled and said: "Confucianism talks about benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and trustworthiness. Not everyone is willing to listen to it...but when Confucian disciples pick up swords, they have to listen!"

The startled salamander has strange eyes: "..."
