Chapter 162 Calm rebellion

8days ago Historical fiction 7
The first level was transported back to Fengxia Mountain and it began to rot. The foul odor emitted by human flesh was beyond the scent of any other animal after it was rotten.

Monk Yao and the elders agreed to transport the bandits' heads to the graves where the victims of Feng Village were buried to worship the dead. A pile of miserable heads were scattered on the graves where the grass was already growing, because no one was willing to pile up the stinky things neatly.

Some black and sticky corpse liquid flowed out from below, fertilizing the surrounding grassland.

A large amount of lime was sprinkled nearby to ward off evil spirits. This should be the experience summarized by the people. Lime can indeed be disinfected.

A lot of fragrant powder was raised at the sacrificial site, but it was impossible to cover up the stinky smell. The mixed fragrance and smell became a more disgusting smell.

Paper money was spilled all the way, and sacrifices were placed on the grave, and relatives of the victims were dressed in mourning and worshiping beside the grave.Suddenly I heard a loud bang bang... There was a loud noise, and the soldiers were raising their guns to the sky.

Zhang Ning also stood on the hillside and watched for a long time. The scene in front of him was like a ceremony, a ceremony like a funeral, and a memorial scene in which people walked through to express an emotion.

The scene in front of me is full of the atmosphere of death, but there is undoubtedly the relief of revenge.

No one here feels that he has done something wrong, as if everything is taken for granted, but Zhang Ning understands in his heart that as a villager under the Ming Dynasty, there is absolutely no right to massacre so many people for revenge, and to make private firearms, it is even more like rebellion.

It’s just that the power of the imperial court cannot control this remote mountainous area.

It can be seen that destroying social laws without being sanctioned is sometimes easy.

In fact, in this world, there are rules, whether it is now or a more civilized world in hundreds of years.

The biggest rule should be a universal value and a moral standard. The biggest promotion in hundreds of years is Europe and the United States' freedom and democracy; and now because the East and the West are few connections, the Eastern world is recognized by the concept of loyalty, filial piety, courtesy and justice based on Confucianism, which is applicable to the entire Asia radiated by the Han civilization.

Then the smaller rules are the court's legal system, the local government's laws, and the unwritten rules in the city...

However, more than 20 years ago, Zhu Di raised an army to Jingnan to seek a king with his ministers, which violated the most basic rules of the world, but was not sanctioned. Instead, he became extremely noble because of the dragon robe: because no one could punish him above the Central Plains Emperor.

After all, there are very few people who can subvert the laws of the world. In most cases, it is determined by the person's location. For example, Zhu Di was the son of Taizu of the dynasty and was facing the vassal removal...

The vast majority of all living beings can only live in this net with already designed rules, and there is no way. For example, the accountant in his previous life was like an irrelevant screw, able to adapt to society and find his own space and have done his best in life.

However, Zhang Ning has found a breakthrough point in Fengxia Mountain in the past few months.

He felt crazy and risky, and had little chance of winning, but his position made him realize the opportunity; he also realized that not seizing the opportunity and waiting for him was also destruction, meaningless destruction, like an insignificant screw falling, silently lonely and bored.

At this moment, Zhang Ning was in a strange mood. It was not a worry about the uncertain future or a melancholy of self-pity. He was actually very excited, although his calm words and deeds did not express his emotions at all.

As a person who was in his teens full of extreme rebellious mentality, he really couldn't find a reason to be unhappy at this time.

Although he was very disciplined and sensible later, and his rebellious edges could be smoothed by life and society, the thing in his bones never disappeared.

In the past, after he had gained experience, he realized that he could not survive without following the rules, or it was difficult to survive well, and it was completely illogical to go against the rules, so he was forced to change his style; now he finally realized his enlightenment.

A reasonable rebellion does not require running away from home or opposition to the world at all.Only by following the rules and guiding more people to safeguard their rebellious desires can we have a higher level.

Suddenly, he felt that he had reached a certain height, and couldn't help but climb to the top of the small hill beneath his feet, looking down at the villagers who were performing gods and ghosts.

When he stands at a high place, he feels good about himself, and he only feels that he can control the fate of many people in his hands. This net does not need to be looked up to in this world, but the rules are so, so there is no need to worship them, because it is absurd.

...The purpose of the trip to Fengxia Mountain has been completed, and Zhang Ning began to prepare before leaving.Although the trained team has a good record, it is not the key point. The key point is the weapon system.

He handed over the management power of the Weapon Bureau to Monk Yao, and asked him to delegate his confidant to take power, and registered the list of all personnel involved in the core technology, and stored the important data, process flow materials and drawings of the Weapon Bureau as confidential archives to keep.

In addition, his main thing is to summarize the results file...

The thing he gave to his mother Yao Ji.

There are many contents. First, the range, power, cost and other parameters of the firearms. After writing, I asked the monk Yao to sign and testify; then explained the establishment model of the weapon bureau and the training process of the Fengxia Mountain Hundred Houses Institute; finally, the performance of these firearms and people on the battlefield.

There are two additional appendixes.

Zhang Ning felt that he was writing a paper, but fortunately he had experience writing such things.

One of the appendixes is a document drawing copied from the Weapons Bureau, with a confidential file notes; the other one is a bit strange, a conversation record of Zhang Ning asking Old Xu's grandson and entourage to visit the soldiers with gifts, recording the thoughts of military generals and ordinary soldiers during the training and combat using firearms.

Zhang Ning believes that the evaluations obtained from others may be more convincing to Yao Ji...

Of course, there are also Qiuye, a chasing cult saint.

Qiuye praised in front of him very well: Lord Zhang has done so many things in a few months, but he is in a good manner and is not at all confused. It is really embarrassing.

More than one person around him commented on his work orderly, and Zhang Ning didn't care.

Because he understands that the human world has standards and rules. If you want to break one rule, you have to use another rule to merge it.

Anyway, he was in a good mood, although he felt a little tired.Things are being done little by little and are almost over.

After dinner that day, Monk Yao sent someone to invite him to come and taste tea.This uncle didn't feel very kind usually, and there were very few things tonight, so Zhang Ning didn't refuse and agreed readily.

He changed his shoes, walked out of the backyard with the visitor, and went to a vegetarian room next to the temple. He found that the bald monk Yao was sitting alone.

The entourage stopped outside the door, and there were two or three guards with weapons walking around nearby. Seeing this, Zhang Ning thought to himself that his uncle was not in large territory, but his clue was quite large.

He lifted his robe, stepped into the threshold, and bowed and said, "My uncle has met his uncle."

Monk Yao actually stood up and returned the gift, pointed to the futon opposite the wooden table and said: Sit, I don’t have any good things to treat you here. I happened to have some good tea from outside the mountain recently. I heard that you like good tea?

Zhang Ning sat down cross-legged and said bluntly: I didn’t pay attention to this thing before. Once I went to Yangzhou to become an official, and a group of hawks and dogs from the court managed a tea garden. I tasted all the good and coarse teas, but I really tasted the difference.

After hearing this, Monk Yao smiled rarely on his face: Then, what about my tea?

Zhang Ning then reached out and opened the cup. A fragrance came to his nose. He glanced at it and said: I like teas like green tea the most, and the fragrance was very resistant to smelling.

He then stretched out his other hand to lift the cup, took the lid and gently stroked the water surface, blew it and took a sip, and said with a smile: It's indeed a good tea, my uncle really wants to give up good things today.

Monk Yao joked: Are you very stingy when I am entertaining you?Don't say that to your mother when you go back.

Zhang Ning laughed a few times.

Monk Yao looked like he was eager to speak but stopped and asked: Are you really in a hurry to go back?

Zhang Ning said: My uncle has been here for several months and has been with my uncle for a long time. The other main thing is to try to build firearms. Now that I have been supported by my uncle, I have to prepare to go back.

There is a saying I don’t know whether to ask or not.Monk Yao said.

Zhang Ning was slightly surprised and said: You are an elder, why should you not ask?Even though my uncle spoke, I will definitely speak.

Monk Yao frowned and said: I didn’t think much about it when I received a letter from the leader saying that you were coming to build a firearm.Now that the firearm was built, the bandits were annihilated in the battle, and there were no casualties on our side. I know you were prepared...

He paused, lowered his head and thought about something.

After a while, Monk Yao said again: Why did your mother ask you to make firearms?This thing should not be used when walking in the world to protect one's house. It would be fine if you use it in this remote mountainous area. If the government knows it, it would be a trouble for the outside world.I thought that the best use of firearms is to set up formations to attack cities and territory... What secret decree does Jianwenjun have? Or what happened in the court?

Zhang Ning was silent, not knowing how to answer the best.

Suddenly, seeing the puzzled expression on Monk Yao's face, Zhang Ning seemed to feel a trace of helplessness in his life. He was too familiar with this helplessness: he had ideas in his mind, but he did not know the true intentions of people with power. He could only make efforts to guess, want to keep up with the flow or make plans early...

Just like real estate speculators are speculating on the direction of policies, stock speculators are speculating on economic trends.

All living beings cannot change the flow, they just want to find clues in the surging time, so as to seek some insignificant benefits, or worry about being swallowed by the flood.

The last gloss of sunset seeped in from the doors and windows. In this way, Monk Yao seemed to have transformed into a statue-like philosopher, thinking about something mysterious.

Zhang Ning said slowly: Something happened a while ago. I don’t know how the boss should deal with it. Why don’t my uncle directly ask my mother?
