Chapter 4 Heaven and Earth Change
Looking at the red butterfly approaching outside the window, Ning Jiang shook his head with a smile. . The fastest update
"Where did those two guys go?" Hongdie muttered and looked for other places.
After she left, the young man held the table and stopped moving.
The Hong Butterfly, who couldn't find the person, went around the back garden again and saw Baotong and Huangfu Lu coming out with their hands, which was already half an hour later.
"Where have you two gone?" she shouted dissatisfied. However, the two sisters blushed together. Their self-washed and splattered faces were tender and tender in the cold weather, as if spring had arrived.
Such a leisurely... in fact, it is also very busy. Just spending this day by day, many ridiculous things will inevitably happen.
In his spare time, Ning Jiang would also start to guide the three princesses in martial arts. Although they were all at the age to start practicing martial arts, Hong Butterfly, who has a celestial body constitution, still easily left Baotong and Xiaolu behind him. Fortunately, although Baotong and Xiaolu were not as good as her, under his guidance, they practiced hard and began to make certain progress.
In addition, the three of them have mastered a lot of postures that have nothing to do with martial arts these days, and they often learn together.
In this way, in the season when the cold wind comes from north to south and the war comes from south to north, the three people who are basically isolated from the world feel that spring has never ended. The ill-intentioned young people, the warm bed, the playing and the skirts they lifted up together... This is their memory of the whole winter.
By the end of December and the New Year is approaching, the good news from the front line has kept the entire court and the country bathed in the rare excitement after the collapse of Confucianism and Taoism.
The left army of Shenwu and the Red Turban Army attacked Bashu in two groups. The famous Miao Yi general Mu Yuan retreated step by step in a row of defeats, which aroused dissatisfaction from Brother Mu. For this reason, Brother Mu urgently replaced the generals and tried to reverse the decline, but the result was that Mu Yuan was replaced, which triggered the rapid defeat and collapse of the Miao army on the Fushe Road. When Mu Yuan was defeated, the officials in the rear scolded him for his incompetence. After replacing Mu Yuan, they found that no one on his side could do better than Mu Yuan, which instead caused the general situation to collapse further.
The Red Turban Army on the other side, because the terrain of entering Shu was more complex, and although it was constantly winning, its advancement was not as fast as that of Fushe Road. However, because this road was approaching Bacheng, it also restrained more Miao troops on the Fushe Road. As for the Miao army on the Fushe Road, the Miao army began to be defeated. The civil strife in Xiling was unstable due to the quarrel between Jin Lao Grandma and Wu Gui Sect and Brother Mu, which made the Miao soldiers who blocked them unstable.
The Red Turban Army began to exert its strength, almost pushing it to the city of Bacheng, forming a confrontation with the Ming wizard Zhu, who was personally in charge of Bashu.
The city of Bacheng is high and deep, and it is easy to defend but difficult to attack. It is not easy to capture it. However, the Shenwu Left Army on the other road also began to meet in this direction. Although the Shu County once again activated Mu Yuan to try to stop the Shenwu Left Army and support Bacheng, on the Red Turban Army, the Ghost Army's Ghost Army sent someone to secretly send a letter to Mu Yuan. Mu Yuan, who had been walking in the tent for a night, surrendered directly to the Shenwu Left Army led by Wang Keyuan and Yue Qing.
Mu Yuan surrendered his military intelligence to come thousands of miles away. When Ning Jiang received the military information, he did not make any discussion in the court. He directly issued an imperial edict on behalf of the emperor and appointed Mu Yuan as the Duke of the County. At this time, the war to attack Bacheng had already begun. Mr. Mei Jian, the leader of the Chinese martial arts alliance who personally supervised the grain to enter Shu on the front line, also participated in the siege. With the support of a large amount of artillery fire, he led the army and entered the city. No one could stop him. Finally, he defeated the witch formation set up by Ming Wu Zhu Shi and his disciples and killed Ming Wu Zhu Shi with one sword.
At this point, nearly half of Bashu had fallen into the hands of the Chinese army, especially the fall of Bacheng, which was an almost devastating blow to the Miao army. The southern court and the country were all excited. Compared with the great defeat after the invasion of barbarians over the past year and the continuous fall of Chinese land, the recovery of Bacheng made people clearly see the hope of counterattacking barbarians.
If defeating Chache is just to protect the home in despair, then the regaining of Bacheng is the first time to truly regain the homeland. In this excitement... or even an excitement, people are willing to give more tolerance for some extreme measures that Prime Minister Ning has taken in these days, whether voluntary or forced, to restore the sense of honor of my mountains and rivers. With the successive victory of Bashu, it began to deeply implant in everyone's heart.
In contrast, not many people took Ning Cheng's disrespect to the emperor who seemed incompetent no matter how he looked, and the rumors of hiding the three princesses in the golden house. As for the clear distinction between rewards and punishments, the use of talents only depends on achievements and status also made more people willing to use them for him. Most of these people, in the past Confucian era, had no chance to make their debut, but now they have rushed to Lin'an, hoping to show their strengths at this extraordinary time and become famous throughout the ages.
The "first army" policy brought victory, and victory further promoted the "first army" policy, and the snowball went on to grow bigger and bigger. In this kind of group atmosphere, Cixue was abandoned as if it were. Not to mention other schools, even within Confucianism, the "martial arts" that emphasizes great revenge began to win a huge market. Although not many people understood, why did Confucius become a martial arts master?
But it doesn't matter. Just like no one could understand the Confucianism that was involved in the response of heaven and man, it was really not important...
In this atmosphere, some signs of militarism have actually begun to appear. However, in terms of culture, the general situation of various theories blooming in a large number of ways has also been restricted to a certain extent to avoid going to another extreme. The policy of the first army is the most effective method at present, but in the end it cannot be turned into another mountain that is pressing on everyone's heads. This is Ningjiang's attitude towards this.
More and more newspapers have founded publications, and the emergence of various theories has also triggered great discussions and controversies. Once the thoughts that have been imprisoned for eight hundred years have been relaxed, it is a wave of change every day. Fortunately, the tone of "the world is not easy forever" and "studying things to know, seeking truth from facts" avoids many purely based on empty talk. Rather than being the reappearance of the controversy of hundreds of schools of thought in the pre-Qin period, it is actually more similar to the Renaissance of the Renaissance in another world that suppressed people for more than a thousand years of loosening in the Middle Ages, and this is exactly what Ningjiang wanted.
As the Spring Festival is approaching, Ning Jiang and his people around him leave Lin'an and go to Kuaiji Mountain to celebrate the Spring Festival with Jianli and his sister.
At this time, A Cai had joined the left army of Shenwu and participated in the battle against the Miao army. With the help of the Chinese Martial Arts Alliance, Zhao Tingzhen contacted Qiu Shuijian, "Sunkong's Memorial" and went to learn from his master. Xiao Qi was also arranged to enter a famous sect in the martial arts world.
The Spring Festival on Kuaiji Mountain is quite lively. At this time, Qin Mo is still busy north of the Huanghe River, while Qin Ze enters the Central Plains. In addition to the absence of the two of them, the Taoist Lei He, Helian Feng, Luo Fatty, Yue Bai, Sun Ziluo, etc. who first joined the Tiandihui Society, as well as Nangong Jiayou, Qin Hongyun and others who later joined the Tiandihui Society, basically all came to Kuaiji Mountain. Needless to say, Qin Wuyan, Qin Xiaoyaer and others.
On Kuaiji Mountain, in addition to Jian Li, Xiao Meng, Hui Xue Sanren and Xiao Dao, Qin Ze's wife Xiao Qing also lived here most of the time after getting married.
During the night dinner, there was a bustling ball. In the following days, Ning Jiang did not rush to return to Lin'an, so he stayed here for a few days. During this period, Huangfu Lu was still very surprised why the little black cat named Xiaodao disappeared, but there was a little girl who was also called Xiaodao, except for even smaller others, who looked exactly the same as Sister Xiaomeng.
When it came to that time, Baotong, Hongdie and Huangfu Lu watched Xiaodao turn into a little black cat and jump around, the three girls were shocked. The "demons" that originally appeared only in the legendary ambitions actually appeared in front of them like this?
...

In the same New Year, Princess Shan in the north lived a very difficult time.
The barbarian army's raid on the Momen and various rebellious forces did not stop even in such a cold winter. In addition, in addition to the barbarian army, the battle between the Momen and the Zoroastrianism also broke out every moment.
After all, this place is the territory of China. Once the trend of resistance takes shape, it will be difficult for the barbarian army to remove it all at once. Despite this, the Momen also paid a huge price in the process.
At the same time, the Black Mountain Army, known as one of millions, was dispersed again and again by the elite barbarian army led by the Emperor Meng, and countless casualties were killed or injured. However, the scattered riots turned into ubiquitous refugees and mobs, which also caused a headache for the top leaders of the barbarian army.
The people under the rule of China had already turned to the coexistence of the evil spirit gods, and under the initiative of the evil gods, Zongbei. However, the Tianxiao Army, who had defected to the barbarian army and were also Chinese, were more eager to eliminate them than the barbarian army. This was an incomprehensible situation. The ones who were most eager to kill all the Chinese were another group of Chinese.
A spark can start a prairie fire. In the continuous resistance, Xin Mohism studies were finally understood by more and more people in the north, and even to a certain extent, formed a fanaticism at the bottom, which once made many people see hope for the future. However, with the counterattack of the Chinese Army in the south and the Chinese War that could be imagined, the extermination of the Momen by the Barbarian Army has reached the most cruel time. Compared with other anti-barbarian forces such as the Black Mountain Army, the Xin Momen, which has a strong concept, is the target that the Barbarian Army must destroy in any case. Any Chinese who have a little connection with the Momen will be bloodily massacred by the Barbarian Army.
After all, Xinmomen, which is still unstable, has more and more people die and is in a difficult situation.
At this time, Mingshan far southwest, because of the main force of the Red Turban Army's expedition, the ones who stayed in the mountains at this moment were basically some old, weak and remnants.
For the Red Turban Army, which has an increasingly larger territory, Mingshan has little importance left in terms of its strategic position.
Deep in the back mountain of Mingshan, the old man who had been hidden on the astrologer for about a thousand years, had spent his first Spring Festival alone when he returned to the ground.
Although he returned to the ground, the old man has become older and older in these few months. In these days, what he has done is to write books and make words so that what he has learned in his life will not disappear with his death.
Among the seven techniques left by Master Guiguzi, the two techniques he mastered have basically been passed on to his disciples in this world. Although how to use them depends on his own further research and understanding.
The disciple who was busy restoring the Central Plains in the North did not have time to return here. It is likely that the last New Year in his life would be the last New Year in his life. The old man sat in a wheelchair, left the wooden house, and looked back at his distant past. He came to this era, but this era has made him no longer.
Thinking about the days when he was studying with his junior brother Pang Juan, perhaps it was the easiest and happiest time in his life. After that, his life fell into an inescapable vortex. Now that I think about it... I don’t know how much meaning of life has left behind in my life.
Life and death are not so much that you take it lightly, but rather that you are... really tired.
In the same New Year, different people have completely different feelings. In this era where everything is rapidly changing, whether it is energetic, they will grow old, enjoy themselves, or fight hard. Some people have begun to rebirth, and some people have gone astray, and may not be able to see the past and the future that will never be able to see clearly. At every moment and moment, people have spent it, they are interlaced into the vast present.
The old year passed like this, and the new year continued to turn around this page of the future history books.
During the whole first month of the year, the battle between Ba and Shu became more and more intense, and at the same time, there was no suspense. The war everywhere showed a one-sided situation. The barbarian army's forces had also begun to gather in Guangzhou and advance. More than a year ago, the sudden sinking of Sibi Cave was followed by the prosperity of Xuan Qi. Now, with Sibi Cave as the center, the expected fierce battle is coming soon.
At this time, a change that no one could predict suddenly occurred, shocking the world and making the situation even more strange.
On the top of Mount Tai and above the celestial plate, the broken purple walnut wall has removed all the literary spirit, and is still hanging alone in the center of the stars. Over the past eight hundred years, it has received worship from countless people and created a temporary prosperity in the entire China, but now it is almost forgotten by everyone in these few years.
However, after all, there are still people who care about it.
