Xianxia version of Water Margin

…

While Yue Fei and Jin Wushu were fighting on the front line, Jiang Hongfei and his ministers were not idle.

After discussing with his ministers, Jiang Hongfei made three important instructions:

The first important instruction was to call on the literati in Liaoning Road to participate in the imperial examinations held by the Yuan Dynasty court and digest the literati in Liaoning Road first.

Jiang Hongfei hoped that through these future rulers, the glorious culture of the Yuan Empire would be spread to every inch of Liaoning Road like spring rain, so that the yearning and belonging to the empire would take root in their hearts.

In order to ensure that all Liaoning Road candidates came to the capital Yuan Dadu in person, experience the imperial examinations, appreciate the culture of the Yuan Empire, and have a yearning for the Yuan Empire, and preferably a sense of belonging, Jiang Hongfei made an important instruction that the food, clothing, housing and transportation of the literati in Liaodong who came to participate in the imperial examinations would all be paid by the court. This was considered an amnesty for Liaoning Road just after it was incorporated into the Yuan Empire.

However, Jiang Hongfei specifically instructed that although the imperial examination would take some care of the scholars from Liaoning Road, the language of the examination papers would be Chinese characters without exception - this is not only the key to knowledge, but also a pass to the core of the empire.

Jiang Hongfei understood that if he wanted to truly integrate into the Yuan Empire, mastering Chinese characters and understanding the cultural heritage behind them were indispensable prerequisites.

For those Liaoning Road students who had never set foot in the world of Chinese characters, the empire showed unprecedented generosity and tolerance, proposing that they could first enter the Imperial College for further study, free of charge, and then go to the imperial examination after completing their studies.

This is not only a respect for knowledge, but also a deep expectation for cultural integration.

At the same time, a more far-reaching decision was quietly brewing - abolishing the original characters of Liaoning Road, including the characters of the Jin Dynasty, the Liao Dynasty, the Bohai Dynasty, and all previous characters, and comprehensively promoting Chinese characters and Chinese.

Countless precedents in history have proved that characters are the carrier of national spirit and the cornerstone of cultural identity. If you want to truly rule a region, you can only achieve true spiritual communication and turn it into a part of your country by eliminating the barriers of writing.

Let's put it this way, writing actually has civilization genes. As long as the writing of a nation does not die, it can maintain the spiritual belonging of complex national self-identity.

It is precisely because of this that throughout the ages, those true conquerors who want to completely conquer a region must first eliminate the writing there, otherwise the rulers will either be assimilated by the civilization there and become part of it, or eventually be driven away and declared failure.

The most representative of these is Chinese civilization.

On the land of China, the Han nationality was also ruled by ethnic minorities such as the Jurchens and the Mongols, but because Chinese characters have tenacious vitality, a huge civilization system was established on this basis. Therefore, no matter which nation rules the Han nationality, the final result is either being assimilated by the Han people or being driven away by the Han people. No nation can completely conquer the Han people.

Therefore, the only choice for successful rule is for the ruled to identify with the ruler in terms of spirit and emotion.

From ancient times to the present, there is no exception.

Throughout history, every successful rule first destroyed the local writing system, causing the ruled people to completely or thoroughly amnesiac, and to accept the spiritual and emotional indoctrination of the ruling empire again, so as to achieve long-term stability.

Let's put it this way, it is a simple matter to plunder the material wealth of the Liaoning Road area, but it is definitely not a matter of one day or one night to truly turn Liaoning Road into a part of the Yuan Empire, even if Jiang Hongfei has eliminated the nobles and gentry class of the entire Liaoning Road.

Therefore, Jiang Hongfei firmly believes that through the popularization of Chinese characters and Chinese, Liaoning Road will eventually be completely integrated into the embrace of the Yuan Empire and become an inseparable part.

Of course, in order to prevent the crystallization of human wisdom from being destroyed in their own hands, the original books, inscriptions, and all records of Liaoning Road were collected by Lu Jiang, Han Fang and others, sent to Yuan Dadu, and handed over to Li Qingzhao and others, and compiled into the "Hongwu Dadian". Even these original manuscripts, Jiang Hongfei did not allow them to be destroyed, but ordered people to print ten copies and keep them separately.

The second important instruction was to abolish the original currency of Liaoning Road and fully implement the currency of the Great Yuan Empire, so as to strengthen economic control and deepen the foundation of rule.

—— Jiang Hongfei has already come up with the Lingshi standard (for details, please refer to the Bretton Woods system) and issued the paper money of the Great Yuan Empire.

Controlling the right to issue currency in a region means firmly grasping the economic lifeline of the region. From commodity pricing to industrial layout, from fiscal taxation to armaments and national defense, all are deeply influenced by the will of the empire.

Jiang Hongfei knew that the implementation of this measure would be an important symbol of the comprehensive "Great Yuanization" of Liaoning Road and a key step in achieving long-term and stable rule.

In other words, controlling the currency of a region is equivalent to controlling the region. If you control the currency of the world, then you control the world.

Think about why the Great United States in Jiang Hongfei's previous life could become the world hegemon. A large part of the reason is not because the currency it issued is the world's universal currency.

Of course, the wisdom of the Yuan Empire and Jiang Hongfei and others in governing Liaoning Road is far more than that. They know that the way to govern is to adapt to local conditions and the times, and to use a variety of means such as politics, economy, and culture in combination to achieve the best results. However, no matter how the strategy changes, the ultimate goal remains the same - to completely transform Liaoning Road into a solid foundation for the Yuan Empire, so that every inch of skin on this land flows with the blood of the empire, and every soul is bathed in the glory of the empire.

In this way, Liaoning Road is no longer a distant foreign land, but a shining pearl on the map of the Yuan Empire, shining with the light of integration and progress.

…

Jin Wushu retreated to the north of the Daling River and set up a defense line to prevent the Yuan army from crossing the river.

But the Daling River is not a natural moat like the Yellow River and the Yangtze River, and it is long, so how can it be defended?

The two sides fought for more than half a month, and Lin Chong led a detachment across the Daling River.

After Jin Wushu learned the news, he personally led the army to fight.

Seeing Jin Wushu coming to fight, Lin Chong stepped forward with his spear and said, "Jin Wushu?! What a coincidence, I was just about to meet you! It's really hard to find a good thing, but it's easy to get it. Come and let grandpa Leopard Head Lin Chong send you off!"

Jin Wushu was furious and thought, "Although you, Lin Chong, are also a general, how can you compare with me? I am the fourth prince of the Great Jin Kingdom and the marshal of the Great Jin Army. Yue Fei and I are of equal status when fighting, so how can you be qualified to fight me?"

Lin Chong was still cursing: "Jin Wushu, are you afraid of me, Lin Chong? If you meet me, you will die! It is best for you to withdraw your troops as soon as possible. Otherwise, all your troops will be wiped out!"

Jin Wushu was furious and wanted to fight.

At this time, someone in the Jin camp shouted: "Father, if there is something going on, I will do the hard work. Why use a butcher knife to kill a chicken!"

As he was speaking, a war horse rushed out of the Jin army camp and came to Jin Wushu: "Father, let me watch the enemy raid the camp, I will meet him!"

Jin Wushu looked and saw that it was his second son Yin Chanzi: "Son, you have to be more careful. Although Lin Chong is not young, he is a general who started an army under the Yuan Lord Jiang Yan. He followed Jiang Yan to fight in the south and the north. He is strong and experienced. Don't underestimate the enemy."

Hearing this, Yin Chanzi raised a confident smile at the corner of his mouth. He said loudly: "Father, don't worry. My strength is second only to my brother. Who else can be my opponent? I want to take this opportunity to spread the reputation of my Great Jin! Although Lin Chong is strong, I also have a plan to defeat the enemy."

Yin Chanzi used a pair of bright silver hammers in his hands and believed that he was the second hero in the Jin Kingdom. Except for his brother Jin Chanzi, no one else could match him.

After saying that, Yin Chanzi urged his warhorse and rushed towards Lin Chong like an arrow from a bow.

The sunlight shone on his silver armor, shining brightly, as if the god of war had descended.

Seeing that Jin Wushu did not go out to fight, but sent a young general to fight him, Lin Chong's leopard eyes were erected: "Boy, dare to underestimate the general!"

Lin Chong immediately grasped the Zhangba Snake Spear, clamped the warhorse, and stretched his body, like a cheetah hunting, and rushed forward as fast as a cheetah.

The two horses met, the spears and hammers crossed, the sound of metal and iron clashing was deafening, and the air around them seemed to be solidified by this fierce fighting atmosphere.

Lin Chong's long spear was like a dragon out of the sea, and each strike contained a thousand pounds of force, while Yin Chanzi's double hammers were powerful and heavy, and danced tightly.

The two of them fought back and forth, and it was hard to tell who was who.

On the battlefield, dust was flying. The soldiers of both armies were attracted by the wonderful duel between the two men. For a moment, they even forgot to cheer. Only the roar of weapons colliding and the echo of horses neighing remained.

Lin Chong secretly admired that Yin Chanzi had such strength at such a young age. He was really a hero in his youth.

Lin Chong did not think he was old. He turned into a half-orc with a leopard head and a human body, and then every move and every style was aimed at Yin Chanzi's vital points.

Seeing this, Yin Chanzi also turned into a half-orc with a wolf head and a human body, and he became more and more courageous.

The two fought back and forth on the battlefield, neither of them gave in. The fierceness of the battle was breathtaking.

After fighting for 120 rounds, Lin Chong was still a little old and could not bear the fierce battle.

When Lin Chong was about to lose the battle, Yue Yun arrived, waving his double hammers and riding his horse to trample the enemy camp. Wherever he passed, he smashed the Jin soldiers to flee in all directions. In a blink of an eye, he arrived at the battle array of the two armies and fought against Jin Wushu.

Jin Wushu was secretly surprised: "There is really a master in the Central Plains. Such a little kid can break into the camps of Sanchuan Liuguo for dozens of miles. It is admirable." He asked: "What is your name, little hero?"

When Yue Yun reported his name, he was shocked and his head hurt because he was afraid of being beaten by Yue Fei.

Jin Wushu took a breath of cold air: "Oh! So it's Yue Fei's son? I thought he was so powerful!"

Yue Yun said: "Jin Wushu, you are unlucky to meet me, come and die!"

Jin Wushu sneered, staring at Yue Yun with a sharp gaze, and said sarcastically: "You are still wet behind the ears, what virtue and ability do you have to dare to speak so arrogantly here? If your famous father Yue Fei came here, I might still weigh it a little, but you, Yue Yun, what qualifications do you have for me to look at you seriously?"

Before he finished speaking, Yin Chanzi could no longer hold back, and his two hammers shook violently, instantly repelling Lin Chong who was about to challenge him by several steps, and then he rode his horse straight to Yue Yun.

Yin Chanzi was agile, like a cheetah hunting. He stood between Jin Wushu and Yue Yun, his eyes were sharp, and he had a strong interest in Yue Yun's hammer technique. "Yue Yun, have you ever heard of my name Yin Chanzi?" There was a hint of provocation in his tone.

Yue Yun frowned slightly and asked, "Who are you?"

Yinchanzi smiled proudly and announced his family status: "I am the second son of Master Shiro of the Great Jin Kingdom, so is Yinchanzi! Come and fight me for three hundred rounds!"

Yue Yun looked at the opponent in front of him. Yin Chanzi's face was like a crown of jade, and the horse on his crotch had bright-colored fur. The bright silver hammers in his hands shone in the sun, and they were as good as the gold hammers he used today.

Yue Yun thought to himself: "This person is a good opponent for me!".

So, Yue Yun shouted low, urged his war horse, swung his hammers, and struck Yin Chanzi like a violent storm.

Yin Chanzi was not to be outdone, and the bright silver hammers intertwined into a network and collided fiercely with Yue Yun's hammer head, making a loud "crack" sound that sent dust flying around.

After several rounds of fighting, Yin Chanzi felt his arms were sore and the hammer handle was hot. He was secretly shocked: "This Yue Yun's power is so amazing. Head-on confrontation is definitely not a good strategy." He quickly adjusted his tactics and changed to roaming combat. Trying to find Yue Yun's flaws.

Yue Yun, on the other hand, became more and more courageous as he fought, and his hammer technique became more and more sophisticated. Every swing was powerful and powerful, approaching Yin Chanzi's vitals.

At this time, the flags in the Jinbing formation were fluttering, and the shouts were shaking the heaven and the earth, cheering for Yinchanzi: "Your Highness, the flag is about to win, and success is imminent!"

However, the army led by Yue Fei had quietly crossed the Daling River and arrived at the battlefield.

Yue Fei and other generals were amazed when they witnessed Yue Yun's heroic performance.

Yue Yun is like a tiger coming down the mountain, and his war horse is galloping like a dragon out of the sea. His power is no less than that of Lu Bu during the Three Kingdoms period, and it is like the reincarnation of Li Yuanba.

Yue Fei looks calm on the outside, but on the inside he is proud of his son's growth.

Zhang Jun, who knows how to be a good person, shouted loudly: "Bang the drum to cheer!"

Suddenly, eighteen drums sounded in unison, and the sound of the drums was like thunder, inspiring Yue Yun to move forward even more courageously.

Encouraged by the sound of drums, Yue Yun became more motivated to fight and swung his hammers tightly.

Although Yin Chanzi resisted vigorously, after more than twenty rounds, he was already sweating profusely, and he could only parry, but had no ability to fight back.

Just as the battle was stalemate, Yue Yun suddenly hung up his hammer and picked up his bow, and an arrow shot out of the air, pointing directly at Yin Chanzi.

Yinchanzi reacted quickly and dodged the first arrow by turning sideways, but failed to dodge the second arrow that followed.

With a "boom" sound, the wolf-fang arrow hit Yin Chanzi's shoulder. Under the severe pain, he screamed and ran away in embarrassment.

Yue Yun wanted to take advantage of the victory and pursue the attack, but was stopped by Jin Wushu with an axe. The "jade belt around the waist" move was so dangerous that Yue Yun had to dodge.

Taking this opportunity, Yinchanzi was able to escape.

When Jin Wushu saw this, he secretly thought: "Yue Yun is so powerful that he defeated my second son. Yue Fei is here again. It will be difficult to win this battle."

Therefore, Jin Wushu decisively ordered: "Ming Jin withdraws the troops!"

As the gong "Danglanglang" sounded, the Jin soldiers retreated to the camp like a tide.

Seeing this, Yue Fei ordered: "Chase!"

The officers and soldiers of the Dayuan Army took action upon hearing the order and rode their horses to chase down the Jin soldiers.

The golden soldiers were defeated and ran away holding their heads.

They pursued them straight to the gate of the Jin army's camp. The Jin army's archers blocked the way and shot random arrows back at the Dayuan soldiers.

Yue Fei then ordered the money to be withdrawn, and then the soldiers of the Yuan Army beat the victory drums and sang victory songs, and returned to the Daling River to set up camp on the backwater...
