Chapter 25: Deceiving the True Gentleman (5)
The carriage and horses are sparkling, all the way to the west.
The figure of Shihe's group of scoundrels can no longer be seen, and Gongsun Ze is still angry.
The friend said softly: "Although that person knows the etiquette but does not abide by it, and has no king and no father, but when it comes to the law of nine numbers, I think that even if Wang Jizhi is too old, he may not be able to match him." This is beautiful jade. ”
Although Gongsun Ze lost, he would not force his resignation in this matter, and nodded: "I agree with your words." His method of nine numbers, although it is not in accordance with the rules, has another plan...... Hey, that's a pity. ”
The friend smiled: "A piece of beautiful jade, even if it falls into the soil, is still beautiful jade." This piece of beautiful jade, carved into a ritual character in the future, or carved into the righteous character of the Mo family, can become a talent. ”
Gongsun Ze suddenly said: "This is the problem!" For example, those who are Yidi, among them there are also warriors who are loyal to Yidi, brave men who brave arrows. But they don't know how to use this bravery on the right path, so they can't be praised. ”
"A gentleman can distinguish between praising their bravery and not praising the faith they have in their hearts when they are brave. But the hooligans can't tell the difference, they may learn bravery, or they may learn the style of burning, killing and looting of those Yidi. The most important thing is not bravery, but why? Brave for bad things, brave is right, but brave people will be wrong, can the scoundrels be clear? ”
He glanced at his friend and said seriously: "I'm not the kind of person who can't afford to lose, but I have to win, not for me, but for the right way." He is a beautiful jade, but he has been carved by someone, but it is a pity that he can be discarded. Today, if the master is not resurrected, who can snatch the disciple from Mo Zhai's hands? is that fowl slippery, learned from Bu Zixia, after all, he was not bewitched by Mo Zhai. ”
"I know what you mean, but you know, can we be more knowledgeable than Bu Zixia? This jade is already ink jade, and Mo Zhai still exists, so there is no need to think like this anymore. If the master is here, why would he let Yang Zhu and other beasts learn to prevail? Why is there no one to argue with it today? ”
"My heart aches! What a heartache! ”
The friend stopped talking, sighed, and listened to the singing voices in the distance again, stunned.
Yes, since the master has passed away, when it comes to erudition and knowledge, who can compare with Mo Zhai? Who can pull the disciple away from Mo Zhai's side?
Up to now, I have only heard of characters like Bird Slippery rebelling against Confucianism and learning from Confucianism, and I have not heard of anyone betraying Confucianism.
That Wu Qi was driven away by Zeng Shen, who was educated by a sage like Zeng Zi to kill Yan, because of his unfilial piety, but now he has done great things in Xihe; After Bu Zixia arrived in Xihe, he didn't talk about self-denial and revenge, but he taught the world-famous Tian Zifang, Duan Ganmu, and Poultry Slippery......
He couldn't help but think, if the master is resurrected, there is no class, and he teaches according to his aptitude, what kind of person will he teach to be the right person?
If the master is resurrected, he will no longer face the collapse of the beginning of etiquette and the beginning of happiness, but the world of great disputes between the princes and the destruction of the country and the city, what kind of opinion should be put forward?
……
Early the next morning, someone brought a small bow, twenty feathered arrows, and a wrench for children to practice shooting.
Everyone in the village community is busy preparing for the harvest at this time, according to yesterday's promise to help the Liuzhi family to do some things first, and the harvest of the public land will take a few days, thinking that this year with the flail, the threshing can always save some effort.
Shi took six fingers to the river and made a target out of wheat straw at random.
He had played with bows and arrows in his previous life when he was very bored, but he was just playing, compared to people like Gongsun Ze, it must be heaven and earth.
With this opportunity won by cutting his thumb, he felt that he still had a chance to fight for it to ensure that he could win the forty taels of gold.
This is the most difficult primitive accumulation, the first pot of gold, for Gongsun Ze is not much, but for him, he can use the things he is familiar with to expand his influence.
Since it is a disciple to compare arrows, with Gongsun Ze's person, at most he will choose a talented child with long arms and wide shoulders, but he will never choose a son and nephew who has learned archery in his own family.
Six fingers held the small bow, and he was extremely happy. It's not that he hasn't seen a bow before, but he can't afford to play with a bow, and when he was a child, he played with his playmates, and he just stole a hemp rope from his mother's hand, beat him, and found mulberry wood.
Even if he shoots arrows, he only knows how to shoot primitive people, pinching the tail of a reed with his thumb and forefinger. It's okay to play like this, but even a child's formal bow can't be opened.
After a few attempts, he had already shot a feathered arrow and was pouting in the grass to find it.
After finding out, he ran to Shi Shi with a feather arrow and asked, "Brother Shi, you should teach me well." My mother told me a good talk last night, saying that if you really have these two pieces of gold, you can try the method of cattle ploughing you said. This morning, my buttocks blocked my door again and told me to study hard and win. ”
Blue buttocks is a personal name, and when you are born, you have a bruised birthmark on the back of your buttocks. At this time, the name is very arbitrary, this name is actually basically the same as the name of a prince like Jin Chenggong, so at this time, people with status must have words, or the name of Hei Zhi, Er Mazi, and Li Xiasheng in the melon field is really indecent.
He sat under a tree by the river, playing with the wrench on his thumb, or called it.
After listening to the words of the six fingers, he put this piece aside, beckoned to him, and said, "Don't worry, come and sit down." ”
Six Fingers obediently walked over and sat down on the opposite side.
"Brother Shi, do you know how to shoot arrows?"
"What do you think?"
"Probably not, right? If he could, he would definitely be compared to him as directly as he was when he counted nine. ”
Shi Da laughed and said, "If you can understand this, it's time to learn to speak and reason." ”
Six Fingers said bitterly: "But we have to win this game first." Everyone is looking forward to it. ”
Shi smacked it, and then asked, "What do you think of the son who came today?" ”
Six Fingers scratched his head, glanced at Shi, and said cautiously: "He can hold on to something, but what he holds on to is not right." If only it could be the same thing as Brother Shi's insistence. Such a person, if he opposes us, is the least likely to be opposed; If it's like us, it's the most trusted partner. If he replaces his gift with Brother Shi's belief in doing the righteousness of the world and arriving in the Paradise of Kyushu, he is actually the same person as Brother Shi, and even Mr. Mo Zhai, who I have never met, is the same person. Right? ”
Shi smiled and asked, "What do you say?" ”
"Well, it's like the story you told. Both horses want to know where the horizon is. One to the north and one to the south. The north and the south are different, but the word 'toward' that the four hooves will never look back is the same. ”
Shi praised: "It's really rare that you can figure this out. If Mr. Mo Zhai comes back, he will like you too. I didn't misread you, it's just a pity that you didn't have the opportunity to learn since you were a child, and it was still a little late after all. You have to work harder than everyone else. ”
"Got it, Brother Shi. I'm not afraid of death, as long as I recognize something, even if I work hard, I will do it. Just like swimming in a river, I wanted to learn to swim, so I almost drowned and continued to go down the river. Brother Shi, you teach me how to shoot arrows, even if I wear out my fingers, I must practice it. ”
Fit patted the six-fingered head as a sign of encouragement, and looked down at the wrench.
I don't know what kind of bone it is made of, but it is used all year round and is extremely smooth.
There is a small ear on the side, which can be placed on the tail of the arrow when the bow is drawn, so as to ensure that the position of the tail of the arrow is fixed every time the bow is drawn, and it can also be shot more accurately.
There is a small hole on the side of the ear, which is covered with cooked cowhide and can be hung on the wrist like a bracelet to prevent the wrench from flying out if you are not skilled in casting.
Very mature wrench, it can almost be said that it has been like this for the next two thousand years.
Reached out and picked up the small bow at the foot of the six fingers and pulled it a few times.
If you don't have a wrench, you can't shoot with your thumb.
I took out three fingers except my thumb and pulled the bowstring, tried it a few times, and had an idea in my heart.
At the beginning of the fight, he was not ready to use his thumb.
Gongsun Ze is a gentleman who keeps manners, and he will inevitably teach the children over there to shoot with his thumb, and this is the hometown of Yin Shang, a wrench that has been formed in the era of women, and it has always been like this.
Thumb shooting is certainly useful, especially on a speeding chariot, and if you want to make a three-arrow shot in "Shooting Salute", it is best to use the thumb shooting method.
However, the disadvantage of this shooting method is that it is too slow to get started, and it is difficult to practice a good hand of archery if it is not a special class or practice since childhood.
Whether it is the iron-core crops of the Eight Banners full of tartars, or the uncultivable Lu enough to cultivate the class on its behalf at this time, it is the same number of roads, and the level of archery is guaranteed by off-production.
In addition to the development of agricultural technology, the collapse of the Warring States Ida was also related to the expansion of the scale of the war.
The advent of crossbows allowed more people to use long-range weapons, and also made the military status of blood nobles continue to decline in some countries.
The crossbow is similar to the musket, and it can be placed on a chariot, even if it is not accurate, but it is not the time when non-nobles who used to use a bow and couldn't fight with a chariot for ten years. The crossbow and musket both belong to the aristocratic destroyer in a positive sense, the former is the aristocratic destroyer of the stirrup-free chariot era with the rise of the infantry and the military merit; The latter, with cannons and phalanxes, was the destroyer of the nobility of the era of stirrup plate armor.
The advent of crossbows, coupled with the fact that thumb shooting was too difficult to get started, it is likely that a wave of three-finger shooting also appeared during the Warring States period, which was used to quickly train archers and ensure long-range superiority over crossbows.
But I believe that Gongsun Ze may not know how to shoot with three fingers, and even if he can, it is impossible for him to teach children this way of violating etiquette.
The words that were applied to prevaricate Gongsun Ze were not unreasonable.
He was a gentleman, and he wore short brown that was easy to work on.
Gongsun Ze is a scholar, wearing a straight shirt, according to the shooting salute, before shooting, he has to go to the dressing room to take off his left sleeve, expose his arm and put on an arm guard, otherwise the left sleeve is too wide to shoot arrows.
The two people have different identities and wear different clothes, so there is no comparison at all.
In terms of teaching, Gongsun Ze taught children that etiquette such as undressing and exposing his left arm was exempted, but the issue of thumb shooting would definitely not change.
Shi doesn't care about these at all, he is a pragmatist on some issues, which is easy to use.
Within ten days, the three-finger shooting method is definitely stronger than the thumb shooting; Within three years, the two were on par; Five years later, because of the problem of inheritance, learning thumb shooting at this time is definitely stronger than three-finger shooting, and many skills such as continuous arrows can also be taught.
Since it was a fixed ten days, of course, he had to teach the six-finger three-finger shooting method.
Got up and stood up straight, hooked the bowstring with three fingers, straightened his chest, and strained his back muscles, straining backwards as if expanding his chest, pulling the small bow full.
Afraid that the bow would be broken when it rebounded, he carefully returned to its original appearance and handed the bow to Six-Finger's hand.
"According to the way you just looked, let's contact the bow first. There is no rush to shoot arrows. ”
He also talked in his ear about some techniques for drawing the bow, and from time to time patted the chest and the arm that was not stretched out because of the lack of strength of the six fingers, and told him that he would rather not pull it away than practice the posture first.
When you really teach others, you can understand the connotation of archery, and sure enough, it is every detail that determines whether it is the right way in the end, and the process itself is the goal, and it is often impossible to directly think about achieving the goal.
But these perceptions are used for self-cultivation after all, and he didn't talk to Six Fingers about self-cultivation and morality, but kept correcting his posture with a stick.
After pulling more than a dozen times, Liuzhi's face was covered with sweat, and each time he pulled the bow, his posture became more and more ugly, and his fingers trembled slightly.
Although he didn't speak, he knew that this was the process of severe pain in the fingers that he would inevitably experience in the early stages of the three-finger shooting method.
He thought that he should go back to his brother and make a finger cover.
"You have your own clan that gives you the opportunity to bow and get out of production. But I also have my brother and sister-in-law, who make shoes, but they can also help me make a finger cover. Isn't it just more backstage, I'm afraid you won't make it? It's not easy to make a finger sleeve for leather shoes? ”
Thinking about it happily, I have to laugh out loud, and I say that it's good to have a backstage.
