Chapter 58: Guo Zhiqi

After all, the natural Zen master wants to be stationed in the tin on the ground in Guangdong. He sighed and said, "Amitabha, Tan Yue is too anxious. ”

Zhang Xuan listened, was silent for a while, and sighed: "What the Zen master said is extremely true. ”

Zhang Xuan reflected on himself, he was indeed too anxious. He entered Guangdong, and it was not a year for him to be full, and within a year, he wanted to exhaust the talents of Guangdong, and the geographical advantages of Guangdong were used by him. Isn't it too anxious? It is easy to win the city, but it is difficult to win the hearts of the people.

Maybe time is a good medicine.

Even though the Qing court was so unpopular. After a long time, there are still people who use it. But as a general, he has his own strategic judgment. He never believed it, and the Qing court was so resigned. Even though Great Xia did not hope for the Northern Expedition. Could the Qing court be satisfied with this?

I want to separate the north and the south. There had to be a few close battles in between.

The war in Shu is just the beginning. The large-scale war between Great Xia and the Qing court was still to come, and Zhang Xuan felt that it was impossible for him to stay in Guangzhou for a long time, but in a few months, a year or two, and he would have to move to the north. But within one or two years, can the Yongli court be uprooted?

Zhang Xuan did not have absolute confidence.

There is no other reason, west of Guilin, the land of Yunnan and Guizhou, is almost a poor mountain and bad water, such a terrain, in a year or two, can it really be swept away one by one? Coupled with the complicated situation of the toast in various places, many times, artillery is useless. The big army can't be spread either.

Zhang Xuancai desperately hopes that the situation in Guangdong can be stabilized. At least after the main force of Great Xia moves northward, Guangdong can become a hidden danger to support the rear of the southwest battlefield, rather than the south.

Nature said: "There is a rise and fall of things, beyond the reach of manpower, the rise and fall of dynasties, how can a fool do it, the general has a benevolent and virtuous heart, and does righteous things, why worry about the Guangdong scholars not returning to their hearts." What is the use of asking an old monk? ”

Zhang Xuan said: "Although I am benevolent and righteous, I am not willing to do a lot of killing. Words kill people. But master, the world is in turmoil, and the peaceful days in Guangdong are not easy to come by, and now there is still war in Guangxi. However, it will not be able to affect Guangdong, and once someone has unpredictable intentions, Guangdong will fall into war and chaos, and the people will be injured, I am afraid that no less than 10 million people will be injured. Even if I don't want to kill, I have to kill someone, and the Zen master is compassionate, but there is a solution. ”

The natural Zen master sighed slightly and said, "The poor monk understands what the general means. Guangdong is in the midst of war, and it is not the wish of the poor monks. ”

"Okay, with the words of the Zen master, I am relieved." Zhang Xuan said.

Immediately, the words of the two turned to Buddhism, Zhang Xuan has never understood the Buddhist scriptures, and the natural Zen master is worthy of being a high monk. All kinds of Buddhist scriptures are at your fingertips. Give Zhang Xuan an explanation one by one, but say it

The meaning is that he still wants Zhang Xuan to show leniency to Guangdong Shilin.

Zhang Xuan actually means this, can exhaust Guangdong's manpower and material resources for its use, naturally it is the best, look at the current situation, Zhang Xuan can only push the second, these Ming relics of the old and young, want to live in seclusion, want to write poems and poems, want to miss the homeland to go. As long as you don't have troops to rebel.

Talk about it for a long time. Zhang Xuan took his leave. In the end, he left a thousand taels of silver sesame oil money. It is said to reshape the golden body of the Buddha.

After the natural Zen master sent Zhang Xuan away, it didn't take long for several people to visit him.

Among them are Zhang Jiayu and Guo Zhiqi and others. If Zhang Xuan knew this, he must know that he had come to the right place. In fact, the relationship between the anti-Qing forces in the south and Buddhism in later generations was originally very close. What the five ancestors of Shaolin in later generations also reacted.

The natural Zen master had a deep confrontation with these people.

"What kind of person does Zen Master think, Zhang Xuan?" One of them asked.

The natural Zen master knocked on the wooden fish, turned the rosary in his hand, recited the Buddhist scriptures in his mouth, his eyes seemed to be closed, as if he had not heard, and only after a while did he say: "This gentleman will be able to kill." There is compassion in his heart, but he also has the intention of killing, this person is in charge of Guangdong, and it is difficult for you to think about it. ”

Guo Zhiqi pinched his long beard and said: "What's the difficulty, the world's major events, to such a point, I only owe one death, and now I am full of children and grandchildren, what else is not to be afraid of." ”

The natural Zen master said, "It's just that I'm afraid that you won't be the only one who will die at that time." Some people seem to be benevolent, but they are actually spicy, and some people seem to be spicy, but they are actually cowardly. Zhang Xuan came to Shilin, Guangdong, but he did not have the slightest respect for the people in Shilin. It seems to be just an elm boulder, which can be used for it. If it can't be used, I'm afraid it will be a catastrophe in Guangdong Shilin. ”

The eyes of a natural Zen master are so sharp that they can almost penetrate people's hearts.

Zhang Xuan's mind was in front of the natural Zen master. Yes, if you grew up reading the Four Books and Five Classics, even if you are rebellious, you still have some respect for these Confucian ministers in the Shilin. When you pull in, there will be a feeling of being lower in your mentality.

This mentality is shared by many people. For example, Roche father and son. Luo's father and son seem to be members of the Donglin Party and disdainful, but in fact, they still admire them very much in their hearts.

However, Zhang Xuan is not familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics, the Four Books and the Five Classics are the political correctness of this era, and Zhang Xuanguan is getting bigger and bigger, so he can't help but understand these. But he understands the purpose, and only uses it. The values in his heart have been formed as early as later generations.

Don't look, he can invite Cantonese scholars out of the mountain. You can have a three-way visit to the thatched house, but when Zhang Xuan really thinks that these must be enemies, he really doesn't mind killing a river of blood. Speaking of which, Guangzhou

Ten prefectures, dozens of counties, one county draws out two or three gentry, but there are only a few hundred.

Does it all add up to 10,000 people?

Zhang Xuan walked all the way over the mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, and how many people died in his hands directly or indirectly, Zhang Xuan really didn't know. Kill 10,000 more people. He really didn't care. The reason why he didn't do it was because killing people wouldn't solve the problem. It's not that Zhang Xuan didn't dare to kill.

But killing people may not solve all problems, but it can also solve some of the people who create problems, if they have to force that step, Zhang Xuan will not dare to do it.

Guo Zhiqi was silent when he heard this, he didn't care about his own life, but he couldn't care about the life of his family, and even he didn't care about the life of his family, but he couldn't care about the people of Guangdong. He sighed and said, "I already know the meaning of the Zen master, Master Qu has sent me a letter, asking me to go west to help him." I don't travel west every day, and once I go, I estimate that in this life and this life, it will be difficult to return to my hometown. I'll leave it to you for family matters. ”

The natural Zen master said: "Amitabha, the Ming fortune is declining, and the layman doesn't know it, so why bother? ”

Guo Zhiqi said: "The Zen master is a person outside the square, but he doesn't know that traitors and villains are good at life, evil and death. but they do not know where righteousness lies. I have read the books of the sages since I was a child, and I may not be able to do the things of the sages, but seeking kindness and receiving kindness is the greatest joy in the world. ”

The natural Zen master sighed slightly and said, "It's just that the situation in the Yongli Imperial Court is ---- now."

Although in Guangzhou, the natural Zen master has a wide range of travels. I have heard of the affairs of Guilin, and now the power of the Yongli court is from the hands of Liu Chengyin, and Yongli is just a painting. Although Qu Shiyun had the name of a scholar, he had to go out to confront Cao Zongyu west of Wuzhou.

Don't dare to leave lightly.

However, Qu Shiyun is also a person with skills, although the battle of the Western Expedition is only half a year, Qu Shiyun with the help of Hu Yiqing and Jiao Lian, requisitioned Tusi men and horses to supplement the battle damage, according to the strength of Guangxi Province, tens of thousands of soldiers have been trained, whether they can fight, it is not clear for a while, but the momentum is huge. So much so that the strength in Qu Shiyun's hands has a tendency to suppress Liu Chengyin.

In addition, Yongli himself also felt that Qu Shiyun was much better than Liu Chengyin, and he was secretly in contact with Qu Shiyun, and above the court, there were also some people who spoke for Qu Shiyun. Although Liu Chengyin occupies the area of Guilin, he can't kill people above the imperial court. Even if you want to kill someone, you need to be charged.

In this way, Liu Chengyin was suppressed step by step, and there was a voice in the court asking Qu Shiyun to return to the government. Liu Chengyin naturally did not agree, and the two sides had almost reached the time when they were on the same page.

Therefore, going west at this time is definitely not a good choice.

Guo Zhiqi said: "If you don't have a twist, why don't you have a sharp edge." Above the middle, when I was using my sword. ”
