Chapter 3626 Social System
General Xin Mao looked serious and nodded: "The students are naturally aware of the dangers involved. However, after the battle at the Foundry that day, many robes were defeated and no one was heard from them. They did not know whether they were alive or dead. The students were anxious. If they really died in the battle, that would be fine. But if the students are now hiding from the rebels in Zhongnan Mountain, will the North Korean government not Baoxi will lose his life at any time, but the students sit back and do nothing because they are afraid of death. How can they feel at ease? There are more than 30 classmates including students. Everyone knows the danger of this trip and is prepared for the worst. The preparations have even been made, and the suicide note has been written...so it is imperative for us to do it.”
Students gather in the academy from all directions to receive the latest education, and they are also "disciples of the Emperor." This gives the academy students unparalleled pride and pride, and together with it makes these proud disciples have a "condescending" attitude. He doesn't take students outside of the academy into consideration at all. Only the classmates around him can compare with him, and he recognizes each other as never before.
Coupled with the constant instillation of the academy's consistent concepts of "patriotism," "serving the country," and "carrying on the past and forging ahead into the future," the academy's students have become more united than ever before, identifying each other as the ones who jointly create a prosperous age.
The cohesion is extremely strong.
Therefore, when the students held on to the foundry, they sacrificed their lives and never gave up. Now General Xin Mao is even more undaunted and vows to find the lost robe and prevent him from freezing and starving in the wilderness and dying tragically at the hands of the rebels.
Fang Jun stood up, patted General Xin Mao's shoulder heavily, and said in a deep voice: "In this case, I will naturally not stop you. Wang Fangyi will lead two hundred elites to go with you. I have only one request, if you are in danger, please use the camera. Act, know how to advance and retreat when things can't be done, and don't act recklessly. The academy students are personally selected by me one by one, and I have high hopes for each one. I don't want anyone to make unnecessary sacrifices. I hope that the separated students can return long ago, but I also don't want the students who have escaped to be reunited. One person died!”
"Here!"
General Xin Mao was grateful and solemnly said: "Students will obey Si Ye's instructions. If something cannot be done, retreat immediately and never act recklessly!"
"Okay, let's go, be careful."
"Here!"
When Xin Mao was about to walk out of the commander's tent, Fang Jun stood at the window with his hands clasped behind his back, watching from a distance as Xin Mao was about to run quickly to the school field and meet up with Wang Fang's wing who had already assembled somewhere. Soon, the thunderous sound of horse hooves came, and a A cavalry group of more than two hundred people drove out of the camp at lightning speed.
It wasn't until he disappeared that Fang Jun sighed, walked back to the desk and sat down.
Logically speaking, he should not have allowed General Xin Mao to go to Zhongnan Mountain to search for the whereabouts of Cen Changqian and others. It was not because he was cold-blooded and unwilling to rescue the students who had fled Zhongnan Mountain. Instead, he almost crossed the rebel route from Xuanwu Gate to Zhongnan Mountain on the way. In the area occupied by the army, it is difficult to pass through several military camps silently, and once discovered, there is almost no hope of escape.
The reason why he agreed to General Xin Mao's request and even sent Wang Fangyi, who was experienced in field battles, was because in his opinion, if General Xin Mao could complete the rescue and seriously bring back the defeated students, then this group of students would be Your character, spirit, and beliefs will all undergo a transformation.
Not only will he become a pillar of the country with a strong character, but he will also be able to unite with sincerity, which will have an earth-shaking impact on the court in the next few decades.
The "gentry clan" has been entrenched in the court for hundreds of years and has long been entrenched. Even if several generations of emperors persisted in this ambition and persistently attacked and weakened it, it would take a hundred years to eliminate the stubborn disease.
Unless Zhu Wen, like Zhu Wen, kills all the elites in the world in Baimayi and breaks their backs...
However, cruel methods like Zhu Wen's can only be used when the dynasty is overthrown. Otherwise, the world will be in turmoil and wars are rising in the end of the world. The dynasty will collapse, the world will fight, and the people will have no life. Since Zhenguan, more than ten years of hard work have been carried out to reform. The results were ruined.
Otherwise, even Wu Zetian and other talented people who played politics to perfection would only suppress the Guanlong clan, but support the Jiangnan gentry and Shandong aristocratic families. One family is destroyed and another is prospered. Changing the soup without changing the medicine is treating the symptoms but not the root cause.
How to eradicate clan politics? Only fight fire with fire.
This "poison" is the "party struggle" alongside the clan...
In fact, there is no perfect political system in the world, and every system has shortcomings and loopholes. After the development of the clan, it became a chronic disease that hindered social progress. However, at the beginning of its birth, it played a positive role. It not only ensured the stability of the dynasty's rule, but also played an important role in the continuation of the inheritance of Chinese culture.
Similarly, the intensification of party strife will lead to official corruption and overstaffing, which directly determines the foundation of the dynasty. However, in its early stages, it can achieve an important social system that balances the dynasty and promotes competition.
A sword has two edges, and everything has its pros and cons. Pure clan conflicts or party struggles will cause instability in the government and corruption in government. However, if the two coexist, it is very likely to achieve a balance in a certain sense and further catalyze the progress of the social system.
As for whether Fang Jun's big weapon of launching party struggle three hundred years in advance can achieve his ideal results, he can only leave it to fate. The wheel of society is rolling forward, and it cannot be controlled by human power. There are too many factors that can affect the direction, and the power required for change is also too great.

Ji County.
The wind and snow were overwhelming, and the Taihang Mountains to the west were winding and undulating like a dormant dragon, becoming increasingly tall and majestic under the vast sky.
Along the frozen Wei River, dozens of miles of company camps could not be seen to the end. Countless flags were fluttering fiercely in the wind and snow, scouts on horseback came and went, and groups of soldiers with helmets and armor patrolled around the camp. Continuously, anyone who dared to come close was expelled or even arrested.
In a tent in the military camp, Zhang Liang was sitting opposite Qiu Xiaozhong. The former was holding a pot and pouring hot tea into a cup, while the latter nodded in thanks.
The two of them held the cup together and took a sip. Zhang Liang raised his eyes and forgot about the wind and snow outside the window, as well as the vast foothills of Taihang Mountains covered by the wind and snow. He couldn't help but let out a long sigh and said helplessly: "It took me more than half a month to leave. Three hundred miles away, there are still more than four hundred miles away from Luoyang... Fang Jun has rushed back to Chang'an from the Western Regions."
Qiu Xiaozhong had a rather irritable personality. Hearing this, he put his teacup on the coffee table and said in a low voice: "What is Xu Maogong hiding? Hundreds of thousands of troops are like a tortoise crawling all day long. If they continue to dally like this, what will happen?" Will he be able to return to Chang'an in the future? At present, Chang'an is in chaos and the East Palace is in danger, but he seems to be fine and doesn't know what to say."
Even though it is difficult for an army of hundreds of thousands to march quickly, when will this stop-and-go process end? The fighting in Chang'an was in full swing, but here it was not urgent. The morale of the army was getting worse and worse, and the morale of the army was unstable. No one could figure out what Li Ji was playing.
Zhang Liang glanced at him and said calmly: "Brother, be careful what you say! Now that the British Duke is in charge of the entire army as the commander-in-chief, he will follow his words. If my brother secretly slanders the British Duke and is known by him, I am afraid he will not be able to escape punishment. ”
Qiu Xiaozhong said angrily: "So what about punishment? You dare to kill someone! Now that His Majesty has passed away, Xu Maogong has led his troops abroad and has not returned. His disobedience is clearly revealed. I am afraid that sooner or later he will raise troops to rebel!"
Unlike Zhang Liang, the Guanlong clan was his real foundation. Now news from Chang'an is constantly being sent to the army. Fang Jun traveled thousands of miles from the Western Regions to aid the East Palace. When he returned to Guanzhong, he continuously defeated the Guanlong army. Not only did he ruthlessly It severely damaged Guan Long's morale and reversed many unfavorable situations in the East Palace.
Everyone knows that Fang Jun's soldiers and horses are the elites of hundreds of battles. If the Guanlong army is completely defeated due to such a fierce attack by him, what will happen to the Guanlong clan?
All the generals and soldiers who came from the Guanlong clan in the Eastern Expedition army were anxious and their days were like years. However, Li Ji strictly ordered the entire army to act in a unified manner and used the troops from other forces to covertly cover up the army from Guanlong. As a result, all the None of the Long Generals involved dared to act rashly.
Although I hate Li Ji so much that I gnash my teeth with hatred, I also know that this man is harsh in his methods and has a tenacious heart. He really ignored his military orders and wanted to return to Chang'an first. It is impossible to say that he will really be punished by military law and the official punishment...
Zhang Liang took a sip of tea, looked at Qiu Xiaozhong's furious face, and whispered: "Nowadays, rumors are spreading in the army, and all generals are also criticizing, and their hearts are unstable. Although the British Lord has unparalleled prestige and superb methods, But if everyone works together, is it possible that the British people can be killed all at once? "
Qiu Xiaozhong was shocked and looked at Zhang Liang in shock. (End of chapter)
