Section 141: Wu Song appears
The first thing Zhao Yue did when he returned to Liangshan from the capital was to take a strong bath, wash away the fatigue and cold, and wash away the filth of not taking a bath for several days.
He felt that he was degrading more and more into the people of this era.
Ancient people, not to mention the inconvenient conditions, the living customs are also ignorant and backward and dirty nomadic barbarians can not take a bath several times in their lives, even the Han people with this condition of agricultural civilization and advanced civilization do not have the habit of bathing often, too many people are the same as nomadic barbarians, it is good to be able to wash their feet and face before going to bed.
The Song people in this world have paid attention to the hygiene awareness of washing their hands before and after meals, brushing their teeth, washing their feet and bathing, drinking hot water, and not spitting and urinating. Since he was a child, he forcibly promoted the formation of good hygiene habits of the Zhaozhuang people, led the Zhaozhuang people to be the first to eliminate lice and other parasite problems that were prevalent in this era and could not be avoided even in the imperial palace, and with a strong commercial influence that extended the development of the whole country, coupled with Zhao Gonglian's use of the emperor Zhao Ji's preferences and the pursuit of meritorious achievements in civil governance, as well as the urgent objective needs of the army to heal wounds and the ignorant people to reduce infant birth mortality for survival and health, and vigorously promoted the development of medical culture and the popularization of medical and health knowledge in the Great Song Dynasty. It took more than ten years to gradually bring about the formation of the whole country, or at least to have the awareness of how to pay attention to hygiene.
Otherwise, even the noble emperor is very ignorant of the common sense of hygiene, but he does not know the existence of bacteria, and he does not necessarily bathe frequently, let alone the habit of bathing every day, it all depends on the emperor's personal habits. If you see the princes and ministers running around with lice running around their beards and beards...... It was Zhao Yue who was born in this world, and it also invisibly brought a clean, more comfortable and decent life and benefits to the aristocracy.
This is one aspect of the fact that modern people go back to the past and unconsciously can inevitably influence and drive the progress of world civilization.
In his previous life, Zhao Yue took a bath every day, and often washed twice in the morning and evening, and if he didn't wash, he felt uncomfortable, tired, couldn't sleep well, and had no energy at work. This is related to the living requirements of his wealthy girlfriend who pays great attention to the quality of life, and it is also related to the fact that he was born on the seashore and loves swimming, he likes water and loves to fight the sea.
In this life, he still maintained the habit of bathing almost every day.
But since the Tai'an fight this year, it has swept the north and conquered the west....... This hygienic habit could not be maintained, and it was interrupted, and the feeling of deterioration became stronger and stronger. This left him depressed and in a bad mood. He is extremely disgusted with this backward, ignorant, dirty, barbaric, unfair, and unprotected world without personal interests and human rights. Even though he has gradually grown into the true master of this world, the disgust in his bones has not changed in the slightest. If he unknowingly degenerates into a common member of the world's natives, he doesn't know what the meaning of his life is......
Pan Jinlian and Zhao Yue's related servants are very busy.......
After washing hard, Zhao Yue's exhaustion was gone, his whole body was relaxed, and his bad feeling and mood were also much better.
The reason why he is in a good mood is that taking a bath and washing in vain is only one of them; Yang Yizhong and the four evils of the town house led four hundred Liangshan cavalry or scout troops to lurk far away on foot, successfully ambushed and robbed the Liao envoys, taught the arrogance of the envoys a hard lesson, punished the envoys for their willful and wanton evil, killed those who dared to commit the most murderous and arrogant guys in the Song Realm, took back the spoils that Chigouer should have honestly lost to Zhao Yue on the Golden Palace on behalf of Zhao Yue, and stripped all the property of the Liao envoys, and the spoils that should have been compensated to Zhao Yue were recovered hundreds of times. There were more cavalry and sentry posts in Liangshan, and there were more than 400 good horses missing....... This is one of them.
At that time, the envoy group was blocked, and the first person to shoot the red dog on horseback was Yang Yizhong. The second arrow that was shot and shot by Diao, the masked man was naturally the most ferocious and cunning of the four evils in the town, and the most cunning and brainy boss Golden Retriever Shi Wei.
Speaking of which, the leader of the Liangshan Group, except for a very few people such as Meng Futong, who has been a robber and a thief but has always maintained his integrity and stubbornness, the rest are all bad guys, at least they are murderous and restless.
Even Ma Yuan and other members of the Halal Mountain Six King Kongs, who were serious officers and soldiers of the imperial court and belonged to the law-abiding and righteous side of law enforcement, may have been a good person in the past, at least a person with a bottom line of conscience and principles of action who was detained in the king's law, but after experiencing a rebellion and a great defection, his heart also changed..... They must have become murderous and ambitious, at least the weak are like mustards who don't take human life seriously, and they originally had another nickname for the six pythons of the Halal Mountain, the python is to describe their great ability, but it also shows that the six people are terrible.
Zhao Yue took these villains, including the "Four Evils of the Town", under his control, to see that they have the ability and bloody courage to fight, and evil is evil, but at least it is much stronger than the Song people who only dare to be cruel to their own people everywhere, and become a soft worm to surrender to the people, and it is of great use in this troubled era when the alien race is strong and will inevitably invade the Central Plains ferociously, and it is also more useful than those who will only bend their knees to welcome the alien race or only expect others to kill the enemy and shed blood and sacrifice themselves to prevent disasters. I will never take the risk to protect my family, defend the country, and protect my own so-called duty, and the honest good people are much cuter. At least that's what Zhao Yue himself thinks.
Troubled times have the law of troubled times.
Good and evil, beauty and ugliness, merit and demerits, right and wrong, good people and bad people, and the criteria for employing people have all changed and differed greatly from the norms under peaceful and normal conditions.
At least, Zhao Yue is willing to lead and protect the evil but daring villains like the Taohuashan robbers to survive the troubled times, and is unwilling to protect those so-called good and good people to survive the calamity, especially disdainful of those ordinary people who may indeed be more upright, kind, and disciplined, and can be called a teacher, but they are the great Confucians who will know the wit and surrender and actively serve as soon as the foreign ruler comes. Even if he did directly or indirectly protect some innocent suffering fellow clans when he was a traitor and an official in power, he also maintained the continuation of Chinese civilization.
You must know that this dynasty is not a helpless period of China's backward science and technology in later generations, the Song Dynasty represents the most advanced and developed civilization in the world at this time, it is the strong, not the ignorant and backward weak, and it is an absolute populous country, with a population of at least a quarter of the world, nearly one-third, and sophisticated military equipment.
Such a prosperous and advanced country, such an absolute power, was wantonly slaughtered and beaten by the Jurchens and the Mongols...... It's not just a shame that can be described as a word.
It is this people who are sick, and they are suffering from incurable genetic diseases, and they have been trying to weaken themselves and decay from generation to generation, and have become an anachronistic race that should not exist......
The harm of Confucianism's political culture is not only a problem that leads to the rule of the literati and the misguided country. Ruling the country by a literati does not necessarily lead to misrepresentation......
............
Zhao Yue singled out these capable big villains and concentrated them in his own Liangshan forces, hoping to use them to resist and teach foreign invaders in this troubled Song Continent, in fact, he was also protecting their right to survive in troubled times and their right to long-term survival and development after peace. Otherwise, with the defects of these people's mentality and unchangeable behavior and temperament, they will eat military meals in the regular army of the empire and not die on the battlefield, but sooner or later they will have to be punished to death by the terrible political demands or strict military law, and there will be no good end.
He can also suppress and use these big bad guys well, and he can use them well like his fingers.
This is something that no one but him does.
Neither can a political wizard like his eldest brother, who can't have absolute control over these tyrannical big villains.
In Zhao Yue's heart, since he had already taken them back to the right path, since these big villains were already serving to defend the dignity of the Chinese nation, and since they had chosen to follow him bravely, he would give these people the protection they deserved.
He never thought that he would bury all these big and small villains on Liangshan through the war, and get rid of these murderers who endangered society. This is despite the fact that this effect is inevitable in war.
He had already planned that if he could survive the troubled times safely, if these people were lucky to live after the war, then he would not be able to place these murderous and belligerent murderers in the peaceful and harmonious society of the empire, lest these people fight a bloody war for the interests of the Chinese nation, and they would have made great contributions or at least hard work, but because of their habit defects and crimes, they would have become negative scourges and died in vain, and he would take these people to the Far Australian Continent, which is far away from their ancestral land and the ruling center, and give them proper resettlement one by one according to the specific situation. Let them have a relaxed environment to enjoy a peaceful and beautiful life.
Again, he can suppress these people.
Only under him and even around him can these people consciously and consciously control their own bad from time to time, and dare not lose their temper. And the vast and sparsely populated Far Continent, which must be dominated by grazing, is the only place suitable for these people to live freely. If something happens, he can also be lenient with them.
Of course, these capable big villains are not human spirits, and they are by no means stupid.
Even a brainless murderer like Wang Bochao, a stunned black python who only knows how to fight and kill, can be excited when he hears that he wants to fight, he can also see Zhao Yue's intentional care for these villains and his far-reaching planning and kindness. Even though Zhao Yue had never promised anything to them, and had never said anything to express those intentions and goodwill, he could vaguely feel it. What's more, he still has a good heart, and even a cunning and cunning buddy will intentionally or unintentionally call him to remind him.
Character and charisma are so important, especially as a leader.
After following Zhao Yue for a long time, they slowly established an understanding in life bit by bit, they trusted Zhao Yue, extremely superstitious to that extent, believing that following Zhao Yue would have good rewards, believing that as long as they followed loyally, Zhao Yue would not live up to this experience and affection, and gradually understood Zhao Yue's intention to collect their efforts in Liangshan, and also realized that only in Liangshan, only by following Zhao Yue was their only way out, and it was safe to follow Zhao Yue, so they were willing to follow Zhao Yue to die.
Not to mention the stunned Wang Bochao, even fierce and selfish and shrewd people like Ma Yuan and Zhou Xing with complex minds are also loyal to Zhao Yue.
Slowly, this has developed a sense of loyalty that borders on instinct.
They were all extremely afraid of Zhao Yue, but they trusted and relied on Zhao Yue to lead them the most.
The surrender and loyalty caused by this complex mentality are not only the influence of the strong and virtuous signboard erected by the Cangzhao family for more than ten years.
If one of the righteous brothers has a bad intention to harm Zhao Yue, even if this brother is his iron friend, he will report it immediately as soon as he sees the clues....... It was nothing more than a heartache that caught his brother and asked Zhao Yue for his guilt, hoping that his brother could change and get Zhao Yue's forgiveness, and cut off the head of his unrepentant brother with tears and pain.
You can't ruin everyone's future because of one person's selfish anger.
This will be the reason and psychological support when he grabbed his brother with his own hands, and even cut his brother with his own hands. Although, in fact, it is mainly for their own interests and future.
Zhao Yue does not have high requirements for these people, and he has never thought of transforming these people into respectable, lovely and hot-blooded characters who are dedicated to the country and the people and sacrifice their blood and sacrifice. That's impossible. It is rare for a serious and good person to have such a selfless dedication figure, otherwise the state would not need to specifically commend and publicize the representative and deeds of such and such a hero.
Okay, it's what is lacking that will deliberately emphasize and promote something.
It is precisely because of the calculation of oneself and the common occurrence of corruption that the three sentences of the small meeting will not be separated from the clean government and civilization....... If there is a living thunder everywhere, there are good officials who are dedicated to the public everywhere, it is a social norm, and it is a normal and ordinary universal social form, then who else needs to be praised?
That kind of performance is normal, it is the quality necessary for every normal person to stand in society, everyone is like this, what is worth bringing out and talking about?
Are they all such good people or outstanding people, do you want to highlight and praise them?
..........
The country is easy to change, but the nature is difficult to change, this old saying is not to be said.
Zhao Yue would not be whimsical or stupid to make efforts to completely transform the moral and moral qualities of the Liangshan generals. He didn't have time to expend on that.
As long as these villains obey orders and obey commands, obey and dare to follow him on the battlefield to fight to the end, that's it.
Other details don't have to be forced.
Forcing it is not to embarrass these villains, but to embarrass himself.
............
The main reason that made Zhao Yue feel cheerful was that Wu Song, the tiger-fighting hero in the Water Margin, actually appeared.
He also thought that this world was not the same as Zhongzhong, at least not completely, and thought that perhaps with his arrival, the butterfly's small wings flapped, and some characters who didn't know whether they existed or not were inadvertently fanned by him. Who knew that Wu Song still existed, and finally appeared.......
When he left for Beijing, two people came to Qinghe County, Hebei Province, which was in decay after the disaster, from south to north, braving the wind and snow...... A tall and vigorous man, walking, with a sharp blade in his arms, holding a whistle stick, in his twenties and young, with a dignified body, a dignified appearance, a pair of eyes shooting cold stars, two curved eyebrows like paint. Broad breasts....... This is a personal leader. The other is the complete opposite, not only is he a short man, but also three inches, withered bark, not necessarily much older than the younger, but he looks old, riding on a docile old mule, and the ridiculous little short legs can only hang down to the upper part of the horse's belly, and cannot reach the horse's belly under normal circumstances, so he can only hang so much, and the mule can only stabilize his body without falling down......
The young man led the mule and walked slowly, even though he was red in the cold wind and snow, and said something to the dwarf with a smile.....
The dwarf is also smiling, in good spirits, talking and laughing, looking like he has no extravagance in life and is satisfied with everything at the moment.
There were two large packages hanging from the old mule's buttocks, apparently a pair of strange combinations of quilts covering clothes or something, and obviously not wealthy.
They are none other than Wu Dayang and Wu Song......
