Chapter 161 Yingchuan Academy
The side courtyard close to the reading room was guarded at the door. They were two teenagers aged [-] or [-] acting as door boys. Seeing Xiao Lan approaching, they hurriedly stopped him: "This general is studying inside, please don't let him go." Raid."

"Really?" Xiao Lan smiled lightly: "Go and tell the people inside, just say that Taiping Army Xiao Lan is visiting."

"Xiao Lan of the Taiping Army? Ah! You are the Generalissimo of Pingtian that the Taiping Army is talking about?! The great traitor who harmed the world?!" Hearing this, the two doormen couldn't help screaming in shock, and hurriedly turned their heads to charge He shouted inside: "It's not good, Dean, the big traitor Xiao Lan is here..."

"Eh?" Xiao Lan couldn't help but let out a wry smile. It seems that his reputation in the gentry is really bad. It may be really difficult to recruit any civil servants and advisers in the future. Fortunately, he has never Think more about this aspect, after all, if you can't recruit, then you have to grab it by force!

Hearing the doorman's shout, the sound of reading inside stopped abruptly. After a while, dozens of literati and gentlemen rushed out one after another. Most of them were dressed in beautiful clothes and had noble faces. They were obviously from everyone. Of course, there were also quite a few poor students in rough clothes and poor clothes. Looking at their skinny and blackened faces, it made people feel unbearable. Unexpectedly, there were also poor students in Yingchuan Academy.

The lead is an old man in his fifth decade, with a serious expression and hale eyes. Those white and white eyes are like an abyss, giving people a heavy sense of oppression, as if in front of him, no matter how he disguises himself, he cannot escape the right eye. To be seen through.

"Are you Xiao Lan, the leader of the Taiping Army?" The old man touched Xu Ran with a calm expression, and asked aloud, there was an indescribable wisdom and calmness in his words.

"That's right." Xiao Lan smiled lightly, and there was an indescribable dominance in his words. After all, unlike before, he is already the overlord of half the world, and he is also doing things that he has never done before. The past transformation, every move, is all sharp and frightening.

"What exactly do you want to do? Is it not enough to cause chaos in the world? Could it be that you are not willing to let go of this small academy?" He scolded Xiao Lan.

"Hehe, I'm really joking. When did this Commander say what to do to Yingchuan Academy?" Xiao Lan said calmly, "Besides, this Commander also wants to make a statement. Our Taiping Army did not disturb the world."

"What a joke." A student in Chinese clothes said coldly, "If the Taiping Army hadn't caused disasters, how could you stand here today and talk to us?"

"You are all born to your parents, why can't I stand here and talk to you?" Xiao Lan sneered, and said in his mouth: "Yes, many of you are descendants of noble families, so naturally you are superior. Look down on those of us who come from poor backgrounds."

As soon as this statement came out, the expression of the student in Chinese clothes couldn't help but change, and some students from poor families around him glanced at him calmly. Although Xiao Lan's words were suspected of sowing discord, these gentry children looked down on the students from poor families , is something that actually exists.

"Hum!" The old man who spoke earlier couldn't help but snorted, "Xiao Lan, don't be so rampant. You will surely be known to the eighteenth princes' allied forces when you invade Yuzhou. It can't be said that the army that crusades against you is already on the way, isn't it? Are you not afraid?"

"What is there to be afraid of, Commander?" Xiao Lan smiled lightly, and said, "I'm not afraid to tell you that the six princes, Yuan Shu, Zhang Miao, Zhang Chao, Bao Xin, Qiao Mao and Tao Qian, have returned from Sizhou. Army, totaling 13, is currently on the way to Yuzhou, tell me, are they my opponents!"

"Of course! The latter general, Yuan Shu, is the fourth generation and third master of the Yuan family! One of the Danyang elite soldiers under Tao Qian's command can be compared to ten, and the other four adults are also elite soldiers. How can a group of mobs in the Taiping Army be compared!" A twenty The brocade-clothed scribes on the left and right immediately snorted and said: "If I were you, I would have fled before the officers and soldiers came, and hid in the deep mountains and old forests. Maybe I would still have a chance to survive."

"Ha!" Hearing this, Xiao Lan couldn't help laughing out loud: "Young man, your bluff is really bad. Well, Yuan Shu is nothing more than an idiot in my eyes. Tao Qian and Zhang Miao are the city guards. Also, Bao Xin, Qiao Mao, and Zhang Chao are all minor characters."

A gentry student mocked: "Speak big!"

"Big talk?" Xiao Lan glanced at him disdainfully, and said in his mouth: "Do you know that Qingzhou, Xuzhou, Yanzhou, Yuzhou, and Yangzhou have all been completely occupied by the Taiping Army now, and my commander now has 70 troops and thousands of generals?" Members, it is the time when the sun is at the height of the sky, not to mention that only six princes return to the army, even if the eighteen princes come together, what can I do?"

"Arrogance!" a student yelled, "Back when Zhang Jiao led the Yellow Turban to rebel against the imperial court, he supported more than a million soldiers. In the end, he was still defeated by the heavenly soldiers, and you, Xiao Lan, are no exception!"

Xiao Lan said with a smile: "The reason why Zhang Jiao's uprising failed is because the uprising plan was betrayed by the traitors, so the uprising had to be launched hastily, and there was great difficulty in cooperating with the rebel armies in various places. The interests of the imperial court and the gentry have attracted too many enemies to suppress them wildly. Third, his vision is too low. The Yellow Turban Army lacks military leaders with strategic minds. The formulation of its uprising plan is extremely incomplete. The rebel army did not gather quickly, but scattered in various places and acted in isolation, without even providing mutual support and cooperation, and was finally defeated by the officers and soldiers one by one."

With a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, Xiao Lan boasted: "Fourth, at that time, there were still some mighty generals in the imperial court who were good at fighting. , are higher than the leaders of the Yellow Turban Army, so they are often able to win the many with the few, and the strong with the weak, and finally defeat the Yellow Turban Army. The purpose at the beginning was to kill the peasants more crazily than the government at that time, lost the basis of the support of the peasants, and completely turned into a group of bandits, without the support of the broad masses of the people, coupled with the suppression of the government, this led to its biggest cause of failure."

"What a sharp mouth!" A poor student said in a deep voice: "This is the reason for the defeat of the Yellow Turban Army, but in the future, this may not be the reason for the defeat of your Taiping Army."

"Of course not." Xiao Lan replied with a smile: "Because, from the very beginning, the commander-in-chief formulated a detailed policy to overthrow the imperial court, chose the best time for the uprising, and kept it strictly confidential. Occupied the entire Qingzhou. Thirdly, I have recruited many generals who are good at fighting. The army is well-trained, and its combat power is not weaker than that of the official army. Fourthly, the world is in chaos today. Dong Zhuo and the princes are confronting Luoyang. Gu, it is also impossible to concentrate all efforts against the Taiping Army like the Yellow Turban Army before. Fifth, the Taiping Army pursued the policy of attacking local tyrants and dividing land, and formulated the Taiping Constitution to govern the jurisdiction, which can protect the fundamental interests of the people to the greatest extent and win People's hearts, this is the capital of the Taiping Army against the world's gentry. The Yellow Turban has five defeats, and the Taiping has five victories, what do you think?"

Hearing this, everyone in the academy couldn't help being stunned. After a while, someone said: "If you kill the nobles indiscriminately, even if you win the world, how should you govern it? After all, you can only let the common people fall into dire straits .”

"Hmph." Xiao Lan snorted and said, "Who said that the gentry must be the ones who govern the world? The Taiping Army opened a course to select officials. Anyone with ability and virtue, no matter what their status, can be an official." He glanced at the person who spoke: "You are a family member. It's very unfortunate. Your family used to oppress the people and disregard human lives. It has greatly violated the Taiping Constitution. Two days ago, the whole family was ransacked and beheaded."

"Ah!" Hearing this, the student couldn't help screaming, and then he fell backwards suddenly. He pointed at Xiao Lan, and said in a broken voice, "You, you, how dare you?"

Xiao Lan said with a smile: "I know, you Lai's family members and old officials are all over the world, so what, the prince breaks the law and the same crime as the common people, can you get away with it just because your Lai's family is powerful?" He snorted coldly, his mouth indifferent Said: "Let's go to class, everyone, I want to see what Yingchuan Academy will teach students, self-cultivation, family governance, and world peace? It seems that self-cultivation is not very good? The Qi family is talking nonsense, here The families of the vast majority of the students have more or less committed a lot of crimes, so let’s talk about governing the country, who will come first?”

Everyone was stunned when they heard the words, especially the noble students, most of them looked at Xiao Lan with resentment, and some of them were ashamed. Instinctively resisting, they watched this discussion with cold eyes.

At this moment, the old man who was directly confronting Xiao Lan let out a cold snort, and said indifferently: "Since Marshal Xiao wants to test your studies, then you should let Marshal Xiao give advice and call him You know, there are many noble clans in the world, and there are reasons for it.”

"What's so difficult about this!" A gentry student immediately raised his voice: "The ruler of the country should love the people and make the people work for the country, lighten the corvee and pay taxes, and the security of the people is the security of the country."

"It is exactly that in the past, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty dismissed all schools of thought and respected Confucianism alone, which revitalized all industries, made the country prosperous and the people safe, and my great man was admired by all nations and dominated one side. Confucianism is the only and best choice for governing the country." The one was a scribe in his twenties, with a handsome face and bright eyes. While speaking, he did not forget to glance at Xiao Lan. There was both curiosity and fearlessness in his eyes.
