Outside the small south gate of Bozhou, Huaibei, in a long pavilion, a banquet is being set up at this moment. On the banquet, there were a few people in light robes. There were many servants waiting outside the pavilion. Among them, there are many warriors of the Han army in the north with leather armor and swords and bows, with a scale of more than 200 people, all of whom are under the command of Zhang Rou, the military and civilian of Shuntian Road, who guards here. There were also more than a dozen Confucian people in Confucian costumes, sitting on the reed mats outside the long pavilion, each with a wine and food in front of them for them to enjoy. In addition, there are more than a dozen horse-drawn carriages, and dozens of sturdy mules and horses are lined up on the side of the road.

Needless to say, this is a farewell banquet, and it is the owner of this place who is the east, Zhang Rou, a military and civilian of the Shuntian Road of the Great Mongolian State, who is the father of Zhang Jiu Zhang Hongfan, a member of the Han Fuxing Society, a teacher at the military academy of the Perak Navy Army, and a general-level righteous instructor. As the top figure in the third-class Han in the North, Zhang Rou, who supports the army and governs the people, is not very high-spirited, but there is a lot of depression between her eyebrows.

The person sitting on the guest seat who is about to travel far away, the robe is Xiao Ran, it is the name of the northern place, Confucian Hao Jing. He was originally Zhang Rou's protégé, Zhang Hongfan's teacher, and was recommended by Zhang Rou to the Jinlianchuan Shogunate, and now he is like a celebrity in front of Kublai Khan. This time, he was ordered by Kublai Khan to send an envoy to the Southern Dynasty to marry the princess of the Song Kingdom on behalf of Prince Zhenjin. Bozhou is the place where Hao Jing and his entourage passed.

The person who accompanied him was Liu Xiaoyuan, who came from the south day and night. With the help of the Pu family in Quanzhou, he has now settled in Meizhou, Guangdong, and is known as a Lingnan celebrity in Lin'an. became a respected student. He came north this time, on the one hand, to welcome Hao Jing who went south; On the other hand, it is for these local Confucian students in Bozhou who are sitting outside the long pavilion eating wine and food.

Zhang Rou of Bozhou is actually also a Confucian. Repair the Confucian Temple in Bozhou and set up apprentices. These Confucian students were all students of the Bozhou government school. But the Northland is not the Southern Dynasty after all. No matter how much Zhang Rou admires Confucianism, he will not elevate scholars above martial artists. The future of these Confucian students in Bozhou is just a small official of the Zhang family. The future is just like this, naturally without the arrogance of the famous people of the Southern Dynasty, and being arranged to eat some shoddy wine and food on the reed mat outside the long pavilion is already very satisfying.

Seeing the down-and-out appearance of these Confucian scholars outside the long pavilion, Liu Xiaoyuan, who had been a celebrity in Lin'an for a while, suddenly sighed.

Zhang Rou, who was frowning and drinking alcohol, looked up at him: "Why does the Ming Jing sigh?" Do you have any thoughts on Mr. Berthon's trip south? ”

Hao Jing also smiled and looked at Liu Xiaoyuan when he heard this: "If Xiaoyuan has anything to say, the old man doesn't know as much as you know about the affairs in the south." ”

Liu Xiaoyuan withdrew his gaze from a vote of down-and-out Confucianism. The grooming smile was sprinkled: "It's not a secret, I have been in Jiangnan for many days, claiming to be a celebrity, and being with Nan Confucianism all day long, and all I see are high Confucians, with empty eyes...... Seeing these Confucian students in the north today, how can you not be emotional? ”

On one side is the people on the people, and on the other side is the "ten Confucians and nine beggars", which is really the difference between heaven and earth!

Hao Jing snorted coldly: "Confucianism should put the country and the world first. Now the country is divided between the north and the south, the conquest is not stopped, and the people's livelihood is suffering, all because these southern Confucians do not know that there is a country. Only know their own selfish interests. I don't know all the people in the world, I only know the grace of the Zhao family. Drive the people of the Southern Dynasty to fight against our great Mongolian heavenly soldiers. Such characters are not true Confucians! ”

Hao Jing's words are awe-inspiring. It seems that the resistance of the Southern Song Dynasty was all because of the actions of the southern scholars and doctors for their own selfish interests, regardless of the people of the country. This set of rhetoric. It is in line with the principle that the world is one family, and the four seas are one. It's just that this principle only works in Huaibei, and when you arrive in Lin'an, it's a traitor's speech.

Liu Xiaoyuan smiled bitterly, took out a "Recovery" tabloid from his arms, and handed it to Hao Jing who was sitting opposite him with both hands: "Mr. Bochang, please see, this is currently the most widely circulated tabloid in Lin'an, and most of the people in Lin'an City have read it." ”

"Oh? This is ......" Hao Jing took the "Recovery" newspaper and glanced at it a few times, jumped up suddenly, crumpled the tabloid in his hand into a ball, and threw it out. "Nonsense! It's all nonsense, and they slander me so much! He even said that the Han people in my northern region were all Mongolian slaves, and they were even third-class Han people...... Really, what nonsense! Who runs this tabloid? This person deserves to die, he deserves to be killed, and he deserves to destroy the Nine Clans! ”

Zhang Rou and Liu Xiaoyuan looked at each other, this "Liberation" newspaper doesn't seem to be wrong, aren't the Han people in the north third-class Han? Oh, and it's not really a third-class person, because the Semu people mean all kinds of people except the Mongols and Han Chinese! That is to say, Mongolia is the first class, the people of all ethnic groups in the country except the Han Chinese, and the people of all countries in the world are the second class, the Han people...... It's the most inferior moneymaker! said that he was a third-class person, but he was really putting gold on his face.

"Mr. Bochang is angry," Liu Xiaoyuan sighed, "This 'Liberation' tabloid was run by Wen Tianxiang, the champion of the Southern Dynasty. ”

"Champion ......" Hao Jing snorted, "How can Champion be so ignorant, this Southern Confucianism is really not a true Confucian!" ”

Liu Xiaoyuan shook his head: "Although Wen Tianxiang is not very virtuous, but the southerners worship literature and take the champion as precious, and the ignorant people all think that the champion is a Wenqu star, and they are convinced of it." Therefore, this "Liberation" tabloid has many readers in Lin'an! Moreover, in addition to the "Liberation" tabloid, there are many similar newspapers popping up now, all of which are capable of slandering Great Mongolia! There are even many servants who have changed the rebellious Zhanghui novels serialized in the "Liberation" newspaper into southern operas and storytelling......"

Listening to Liu Xiaoyuan's hatred, Hao Jing was silent, and after a while, he said softly: "It seems that this is the reason for the failure of this southern expedition." Southern Confucianism is shameless, ignorant of righteousness and etiquette, and uses words to incite ignorance and Shuli in a vain attempt to resist reunification. ”

Liu Xiaoyuan sighed softly. The Southern Dynasty gentry Shu Li resisted reunification, indeed out of selfish interests. The scholar was a man of man in the Southern Dynasty, and if he was unified, he would become ten Confucians and nine beggars. The Han people were first-class people in the Southern Dynasty, and if they were unified, they would immediately become fourth-class Nan who was inferior to the third-class Han! Comparing the situation of Confucianism in the north and south and the situation of the Han people in the north and south, it is not difficult to understand the resistance to reunification.

If this selfish idea is not broken, the gentry of the Southern Dynasty will resist desperately, and now there is an elite like the Perak Water Army, and a general like Chen Dexing. The unification of the north and the south, and the unification of the four seas, I am afraid that it will be far away!

Liu Xiaoyuan thought about it, and couldn't think of any way to help Wen Tianxiang for a while, so he could only pretend to be calm and said: "Mr. Bochang doesn't have to be like this, the hearts of the people in the world want peace after all." And if the world wants to be peaceful, only the four seas will be unified, regardless of north and south, and the Han people in the whole world will be the people of Mongolia together. The Han people of the Southern Dynasties will eventually understand this truth, and they are only being deceived for a while...... Fortunately, now that the North and the South are negotiating peace, if marriage and harmony can be brought about again, the hostility between the North and the South will be eased somewhat. If we can let the southerners know that the Mongols are not flood beasts, and that the Han people in the north are also alive and well, maybe we can dissolve their resistance...... Even the Confucian scholars of the Southern Dynasty are not necessarily enemies of us. In fact, King Kublai Khan is also a Confucian, once he becomes the Great Khan, it is very likely that he will open a branch in the north, and even if he is a third-class Han at that time, as long as the article is good, he will have the opportunity to become an official. ”

These words are to the point, the right to speak in the Southern Dynasty is in the hands of Confucianism, and the greatest interest of Confucianism is to take the exam and become an official...... The root of their superiority is also the possibility of being officials! However, the Confucian scholars in the north did not have this benefit, except for a few people with outstanding talents who could serve Jin Lianchuan, most of them could only go to be the disciples of the Han army. Under these Han army marquis, how can these scholars compare with the martial arts?

Therefore, the interests of the Han land in the north were divided between the Mongols, the Semu and the Han warriors, and the Confucians could only eat some leftovers. And in the southern Han land, it is the official family and the scholars who share the world! With such a world of difference, it is no wonder that the Confucian scholars of the Southern Dynasties opposed Mongolia and resisted reunification!

Hao Jing listened to these words and nodded frequently. Speaking of his heart, he actually envied the imperial examination system of the Southern Dynasties, and hoped that it could be implemented in Great Mongolia. But now, it is not possible, and if you write well, you can become an official...... The Mongolian nobles will not understand it in any way.

And they also saw this system as the source of the weakness of the Song State! In their opinion, being an official should be linked to cutting people! Only when the warriors with the highest skill in cutting people come to serve the Great Khan, can the country of Great Mongolia be forever. If the Great Khan was surrounded by people who played tricks with brushes, this Great Mongolia would definitely be destroyed!

Even Kublai Khan, who trusted Han Confucianism, had this kind of thinking, and even if he became the Great Khan, it would be impossible for him to implement the imperial examination system in the Great Mongolia. However, Kublai Khan's eldest son, Zhenjin, was raised by Confucian principles since he was a child, and if he became a Great Khan, the imperial examination in the northern Han land was promising.

Liu Xiaoyuan exhaled, cleaned up his complexion, and said lightly: "The north and the south will eventually belong to one family...... Now that the king and the Southern Dynasty are making peace, it is only an expedient measure, and when Mobei is pacified, it is time to seek Jiangnan. But for now, it's still necessary to make peace. And my generation of Confucian scholars wanted to take advantage of the opportunity of harmony between the north and the south to preach the truth that the north and the south are one family in the southern dynasty. Let the Southern Confucianism and the people of the Southern Dynasties know that in the Great Mongolian Kingdom, the Han people have a way to live, and the Han Confucianism can also be officials! ”

He turned his head, looked at the dozen or so Confucian students of Bozhou official school outside the long pavilion, and turned back to Zhang Rou and said, "Marshal, can you appoint an official to these Confucian students?" ”

Zhang Rou was stunned when she heard this, and looked at Liu Xiaoyuan in puzzlement, Liu Xiaoyuan smiled and said: "It's better to let Mr. Bochang take them to the Southern Dynasty, let them walk on the streets of Lin'an, let them go to Lin'an Shilin, and tell the Southern Confucianism in person, the Confucian students in the north can also be officials, and they can also become people with their article knowledge!"
