Kim Jong-un, joined the war to saving food, getting money and weapons, has won 3 times already

 

It has been confirmed by all parties that North Korea will send troops to Ukraine, initially more than 10,000 people from one division will be sent to the battlefield in Ukraine after training, but according to the current situation, it is not a special force of North Korea, but young recruits who have been selected, and this time, the troops can receive about 200 million US dollars of aid from neighbouring countries, and the majority of the soldiers' monthly salary of 2,000 US dollars will go into Kim Jong-un's personal pockets, and only a very small amount will benefit the soldiers and their families, and even if it is consumed during the war, it will also save food for North Korean military. 

 

It is hard to say how the direct deployment of troops by North Korea will affect the war situation. From the point of view of the initial strength of one division, it will not change the war situation, but it will have a role to play in the acceleration of NATO's troop deployment. At least France has already made its attitude towards troop deployment clear in May, and a company of reconnaissance troops has already begun to conduct a field inspection, but it is said that they have suffered a great deal of casualties in a short period of time, and so we have not heard of any news of the French troops' deployment lately. 

 

It is rumoured that Korean troops will be stationed in the Kursk region to help the Russians regain their lost territory, but it is difficult to verify this. If the troops are dispersed and stationed in different positions to carry out regular warfare, the Korean troops lack basic training, have poor physical fitness, are unfamiliar with the new weapons and equipment, and have no knowledge of high-tech warfare, so it is difficult for them to adapt to the new battlefield environment quickly. It was even difficult for them to carry out the orders correctly because they did not speak the language. 

 

The most important thing is who should be in command of the troops. If the troops were under the command of Korean officers, they should be more powerful, but Korean officers lacked the experience of the Russian army in the battlefield, so direct combat would probably result in great casualties. If the troops are dispersed into Russian units, they are just ordinary recruits. Moreover, the troops sent by the DPRK this time are not the main force of the DPRK army, but are general troops recruited and transferred to the battlefield after a short period of training by the Russian army. 

 

It is impossible for the army to remain unaffected by the years of sanctions imposed by the DPRK. The daily food supply for ordinary troops is only 500 grams or so, which makes it very difficult to perform duties, not to mention basic military training. Due to the long-term malnutrition of the nationals, the height requirement for enlisting male soldiers is only 1.45 metres, and the first thing that soldiers of this quality have to do is to replenish nutrients to recover their physical strength and to adjust their bodies to keep them in good health before they can undergo adapted military training. 

 

Of course, there is no doubt about the will of the DPRK army to fight, especially its main force, but after all, in the present high-tech environment of modern warfare, in the face of Ukraine's superiority in weaponry with the support of the West, it is naturally out of place to rely on the tactics of the past. Although the number of North Korean troops participating in the war is not large, with the needs of the war, if we can deploy 10 divisions of more than 100,000 troops, or can play a role in the battlefield. At least after accumulating some combat experience, they can replace the Russian army for rest and recuperation, fill the holes in the battle line, assist in completing military projects, and share some of the combat tasks. 

 

Now that the Russian and Ukrainian armies are locked in a stalemate, and all sides have a high demand for additional troops, a large increase in the number of North Korean troops would be very favourable to the Russian army in every way. Moreover, the Korean army has traditionally inherited the Soviet Union's establishment, and has recently supplied a large number of weapons to the Russian army, so the Korean army is very familiar with the use of self-produced weapons. The Korean army is familiar with the use of its own weapons. It is difficult for the Korean army to bring its combat power into full play in the battlefield of Russia and Ukraine, where it has been consuming a lot of troops, and facing the attack of Ukraine's superior weapons and equipments. 

 

However, if the DPRK continues to increase its troops, it will at least have a numerical advantage. South Korea is now sensitive to North Korea's response to the troops, in order to provide weapons and ammunition to Ukraine and send military personnel, if the South Korean troops to participate in the war will have a significant impact on the Russian-Ukrainian war, so that is equivalent to North Korea and South Korea in the Ukrainian war officially started, the development of which will naturally lead to the Korean Peninsula, the development of direct war, and ultimately lead to the Chinese, Japanese and U.S. parties involved in the process. 

 

It is inevitable that the war between North Korea and NATO will deteriorate into a world war between Russia and Ukraine. However, from what we have seen so far, the scale of North Korea's troop deployment is not large and the number of troops is not large, not the main force is completely of a trial nature, and the subsequent large-scale deployment of formed and regular main force is doubtful. Kim Jong-un's million-strong army is ill-equipped with limited combat power, and if a large number of troops are consumed overseas, it will directly affect his family's rule in Korea.  

It would be more in line with Kim Jong-un's long-term goal to exchange Russia's food, energy, military equipment, technology and neighbouring countries' economic interests for a limited number of troops, and then make adjustments as the future develops. Therefore, the participation of North Korean troops in the war should not be over-interpreted, and from the present point of view, it is just a means for Kim Jong-un to earn foreign exchange.

 

 

 

朝軍參戰節省了糧食賺了外匯獲得軍備金正恩三贏都不止

 

朝鮮派兵烏克蘭已經為各方所確認，初期1個師1萬多人經訓練後將派往烏克蘭戰場，但按照目前情況看並非朝鮮特種部隊，而是經過選拔的年輕新兵，本次出兵可以收到大約2億美元由鄰國出資的援助，士兵每月2千美元的薪金的大多數將進入金正恩的私人腰包，只會有極少數金額惠及士兵及其家庭，況且即便在戰事中消耗掉也節省了糧食。至於說朝鮮直接出兵會對戰局產生何種影響很難說，從初期1個師的兵力來看不會對戰局產生變化，但對北約是否加速出兵會有作用，至少法國已在5月份明確表示了出兵的態度，並且有1個連的偵察兵已經開始實地考察，但據說短時間內傷亡慘重，因此近來沒有再聽聞法軍出動的消息。

 

據說朝鮮軍隊將會派駐庫爾斯克地區幫助俄軍收回失地，但實際情況難於考證。如果將部隊分散分別派駐到不同陣地，實行常規作戰的話朝鮮軍隊缺乏基本訓練，身體素質差，不熟悉新武器裝備，而且對高科技戰爭完全不瞭解，對全新的戰場環境很難儘快適應，因此相對與俄軍士兵來說，朝鮮新兵上戰場根本起不了作用反而徒添傷亡，甚至因為語言不通，連正確執行命令都很困難。最關鍵的還是部隊到底規誰指揮，如果是成建制由朝鮮軍官指揮戰鬥力應該更強，但是朝鮮軍官缺乏俄軍的實戰經驗，直接作戰很可能造成極大傷亡。如果部隊分散到俄軍作戰單位，則無非就是普通新兵而已，況且本次朝鮮派出的部隊不是朝軍主力，而是招募和抽調的一般部隊，經過俄軍短期訓練後就派往戰場。

 

朝鮮多年制裁下軍隊不可能不受到影響，普通部隊每日糧食供應才5百多克，不要說基本軍事訓練就是執行勤務都非常勉強，由於長期國民營養不良，入伍男性身高要求只有1米45，這種素質的兵源首先要做的是補充營養恢復體力，調理身體保持健康，然後才能進行適應性軍事訓練。當然並不懷疑朝鮮軍隊的作戰意志，特別是朝鮮的主力部隊，但畢竟現代戰爭在本次高科技環境下，面對烏克蘭在西方支持下的武器優勢，依賴過往的戰術自然是不合時宜了。雖然目前朝鮮軍隊參戰數量不多，但隨著戰事的需要如果能夠出動10個師十多萬的軍隊，還是能夠在戰場上發揮一定作用。至少在積累一定作戰經驗後可以替換俄軍進行休整體，填充戰線的漏洞，協助完成軍事工程，並且分擔部份作戰任務。

 

現在俄烏兩軍陷入膠著狀態，各方對於兵源補充的要求都很高，因此朝鮮如果能夠大量增兵，對於俄軍來講無論從哪個方面來說都很有利。而且朝鮮軍隊傳統以來就是承襲蘇聯編制，而且近來向俄軍提供大量武器，朝鮮軍隊對於自產武器的運用都很熟悉。朝鮮軍隊的戰鬥力在消耗驚人的俄烏戰場上，面對烏克蘭的優勢武器裝備的打擊也很難發揮出來。但如果朝鮮持續增兵的話，至少可以發揮數量方面的優勢。韓國現在對於朝鮮的出兵反應敏感，為此會向烏克蘭提供武器彈藥並且派出軍事人員，如果韓國部隊參戰則會對俄烏戰爭產生重大影響，如此等於朝韓兩國在烏克蘭戰場正式開戰，發展下去自然會引發朝鮮半島的直接戰爭，最終導致中日美各方都會捲入。

 

朝鮮參戰北約出兵俄烏戰爭惡化，最後發展成世界大戰也再所難免。不過從目前來看朝鮮出兵規模不大數量不多，不是主力部隊完全屬於試探性質，後續大規模出動成建制正規主力部隊成疑。金正恩百萬大軍裝備落後戰鬥力有限，如果大量軍隊在海外被消耗掉，會直接影響其在朝鮮的家族統治。現在有限出兵換取俄國的糧食，能源，軍備，科技和鄰國的經濟利益，然後隨著今後的發展再做調整更符合金正恩的長遠目的。因此對朝鮮軍隊參戰不應該被過度解讀，從現在看完全是金正恩賺取外匯的一種手段而已。

Kim Jong-un sending troops to Ukraine is like a beggar giving Trump gifts and asking Putin for money

DPRK Kim Jong-un sent troops to the war was speculated, the United States said it may change the course of the Russian-Ukrainian war, Ukraine's reaction to this is not too strong, but still want to get more Western aid through the DPRK troops, the United States in fact is not concerned about the DPRK troops, the so-called change the course of the war is in fact the claim is to hope that Kim Jong-un is more involved in the war in Russia and Ukraine, instead of letting the DPRK army display millions of troops on the border all year round with the U.S. and South Korea to confront each other, but also better to send to the Ukrainian battlefield for depletion. In the face of Ukraine's nearly 700,000 square kilometres of land, nearly 200,000 square kilometres of vastness of the war, the two sides of the dogfight position consumption war, even if the DPRK troops 100,000 will not help, in the face of drones, missiles, heavy artillery, tanks, white phosphorus bombs, cluster bombs, aerial strikes, etc., the world's second largest military power cannot do anything about it, let alone the DPRK army of the 580 grams per day of food supply control.

 

Although the DPRK has the world's third largest army of 1.2 million soldiers, only 500,000 of them can be transported to the front line to fight in the war, and they need to undergo all-round training and replenishment. The DPRK also has the world's largest special forces of over 100,000 men, but they may not be much superior to Russian special forces in terms of weaponry, tactical use, combat experience and will to fight, but the reality is that most of the Russian army's experienced special forces have been depleted. DPR troops sent to the environment is not familiar with the foreign battlefield, the face of the western superior weapons of the all-round blow, the two sides of the village by village, settlement by settlement, position by position consumption, the Russian army need to pay the price of more than a thousand people every day, but also can only move forward a few tens of meters of the battle, the DPR army, even if the fighting strength is strong, but also cannot withstand the Ukrainian army's firepower consumption.

 

Special operations to implement small-scale tactical infiltration, secret attacks on specific targets, the implementation of decapitation operations, etc. to have a miraculous effect, if the large-scale formed combat then become a general force, nothing more than equipment, combat effectiveness and will to fight a little stronger. The infiltration of South Korea and the beheading of the president could not be repeated in the Russian-Ukrainian battlefield, after all, it is in a completely different war environment. North Korea has already sent troops to the war, but not many, in the future will gradually increase the number of troops, but unless more than 100,000 troops, and centralized use instead of splitting the troops around to help the war, basically will not have a big impact on the war situation. North Korea gets the energy, food and military technology it wants most through Russia, and is thus free from the perennial control of its neighbor’s, and its recent show of assertiveness towards South Korea is just a traditional means of attracting global attention in exchange for economic benefits. 

 

North Korea's attack on South Korea opens up a new theatre of war, and in conjunction with the war in the Middle East forces the West to divert its troops, thus easing the pressure on Russia to go to war. But after all, with Israel's overwhelming military superiority in the Middle East and Russia's stalemate in the war in Ukraine, it is unlikely that North Korea will attack South Korea at the same time it sends troops to Ukraine. If the DPRK sends troops to assist Russia's first condition is to maintain the stability of the peninsula, if the attack on South Korea will not be possible to split the troops in Ukraine. The DPRK army's equipment is seriously backward and most of the equipment is nearly obsolete, the fighting force is limited military capability is insufficient, the soldiers due to lack of food cannot even carry out normal duties, how easy it is to launch a large-scale war. Moreover, the DPRK has been sending its ammunition stockpile to Russia in exchange for economic benefits. Kim Jong-un is now trying his best to train his daughter to take power and move to the front stage, and he will not easily go to war and gamble on the fate of the country to start a direct conflict with the U.S., Japan and South Korea. 

 

The only thing he is doing now is to send a limited number of troops to Russia in exchange for food, energy and military technology. Kim Jong-un calculating the United States election is approaching, old friend Trump is likely to once again stay in the White House, so naturally want to make some things out, as a bargaining chip in dealing with the new U.S. president. The so-called bombing of the main transport route to South Korea is in fact a route that has not been used for decades. By amending the constitution to give up reunification and declare South Korea as an enemy, the status quo of the two countries is now that of an enemy state. Launching a war against South Korea is even more borderline. Since the ammunition and troops have to go to Ukraine, what else to fight with.

朝鮮出兵烏克蘭是叫花子向特朗普獻禮找普京要錢

 

朝鲜金正恩派兵参战被炒作，美国稱有可能改变俄乌战争进程，乌克兰对此反应不算强烈，但仍想通过朝鲜出兵得到更多西方援助，美国其实對朝鲜出兵并不关注，所谓改变战争进程的说法其实是希望金正恩更多参与到俄乌战争中去，与其讓朝鲜军队在边境陈兵百万常年與美韩对峙，还不如送到乌克兰战场进行消耗。面对乌克兰近70萬平方公里的土地，将近20萬平方公里广袤的战争，双方犬牙交错的阵地消耗战，即便朝鲜出兵10萬也无济于事，面对无人机，导弹，重炮，坦克装甲，白磷弹，集束炸弹，空中打击等等，世界军事第二强国也无能为力，更何况是每天粮食供应控制在580克的朝鲜军队。

 

虽然朝鲜拥有全世界排名第三的120萬军队，但是真正能够运送到前线打仗的也就50萬，并且還需要经过全方位的整训和补充。朝鲜还有全世界最大规模的特种部队超过10萬人，但无论在武器装备，战术运用，实战经验和战斗意志等各方面，也未必比俄罗斯特种兵高处多少，但现实情况是俄军的大部份有经验的特种兵都已经消耗殆尽了。朝鲜部队送到环境不熟悉的外国战场，面对西方优势武器的全方位打击，双方逐村逐定居点逐阵地的消耗，俄军都需要付出每天超过千人的代价，也只能向前挪动几十米的战斗，朝鲜军队即便战斗力再強，也抵挡不住乌克兰军队的火力消耗。

 

特种作战实行小规模的战术渗透，奇袭特定目标，实施斩首行动等才有奇效，如果大规模成建制作战則成为一般部队，无非就是装备，战斗力和作战意志更強一些。当年渗透韩国斩首总统的行动不可能在俄乌战场重现，毕竟是在完全不同的战争环境下。目前朝鲜已经派兵参战但是兵力不多，相信今后还会逐步增兵，但除非出动超过10萬人以上的部队，并且集中使用而非四处分兵助战，基本上對战局不会有太大影响。朝鲜通过俄罗斯得到了最想要的能源，粮食和军事科技，并且因此可以摆脱邻国常年控制，最近對韩国展示的强硬态度，不过是吸引全球关注换取经济利益的传统手段而已。

 

朝鲜攻击韩国开辟新战场，配合中东战事迫使西方分兵，从而缓解俄国战争压力。但毕竟在以色列在中东军事上占压倒性优势，俄罗斯在乌克兰战争陷入僵局，朝鲜不可能在出兵乌克兰的同时进攻韩国。如果朝鲜出兵援助俄罗斯首要条件就是维持半岛的稳定，如果进攻韩国就不可能分兵乌克兰。朝鲜军队的装备严重落后多数近乎淘汰，战斗力有限军事能力不足，士兵因缺粮連正常的勤务都执行不了，发动大规模战争谈何容易。况且现在還將弹药库存不断输送俄罗斯换取经济利益。金正恩目前正在竭力培养女儿掌权走向前台，断不会轻易开战赌国运和美日韩发动直接冲突。

 

现在无非就是出动有限的兵力，向俄罗斯换取粮食能源和军事技术而已。金正恩精于算计美国大选在即，老友特朗普很可能再次入住白宫，因此自然要搞些事情出来，作为與美国新总统打交道的筹码。所谓炸毁了通往韩国的交通要道，其实这条路几十年來都未使用過。修宪放弃统一宣布與韩国为敌，现在两国的现状就是敌国。发动對韩战争更是不着边际，既然弹药和部队都要到乌克兰去，還拿什麼打仗。

太平天國武狀元天王賜妻還成了清朝二品官活到民國

 

覃貴福廣西武宣東鄉福隆村人，太平天國後期著名將領，政治家，詩人。太平天國十年(1860)庚申科天試武狀元。太平天國後期，覃貴福積極參與政治改革運動，痛陳時弊，成為《資政新編》改革方案的主要擁護者和參與人。多次率軍出征，與清軍交戰，粉碎了清軍的入侵，屢建奇功。一次作戰中，由於叛徒出賣，被清軍將領蘇元春俘獲，覃貴福降清，成為太平天國的敵人。由於他為清軍效力有功，後來升為二品大員。

他是太平天國天王洪秀全欽點的武狀元，妻子更是天王洪秀全欽點的天王府女侍衛長。兩人的完美結合簡直是晚清歷史上的一段傳奇佳話。後來夫妻隱居家鄉，過上幸福生活，妻子甚至活到了九十多歲。這位傳奇的武狀元丈夫名叫覃貴福，妻子，後人都叫其歐氏。當天平軍在金田起義後，一路過關斬將，殺到了覃貴福的老家廣西東鄉。此時的覃貴福正好攤上事了。覃貴福的哥哥被當地的土豪劣紳誣衊偷盜別人家的紅薯藤。哥哥被這些人死死地綁在樹上吊打，直到打得皮開肉綻，死去活來。覃貴福看到哥哥的慘狀，難以抑制住心中憤怒，決定報仇雪恨。

雖然自己精通武術，力大無窮、十分勇猛，但憑藉自己一雙拳頭很難為哥哥報仇。而此時，洪秀全率領太平軍正好攻克了覃貴福的家鄉東鄉，並且在東鄉自稱天王。覃貴福知道只有加入太平軍才能為哥哥報仇，斬殺那些土豪劣紳。於是，他加入天平軍並通過天平軍的勢力幹掉了那些仇人。從此，覃貴福跟隨著太平軍南征北戰，可謂是戰無不勝攻無不克。

天平天國十年，洪秀全為選拔武功卓越的將領，決定讓身懷絕技的人比試技藝。此次，覃貴福就表現出了自己的天生神力，居然把天王宮外的兩個巨大的石獅子高高地舉過頭頂。這也難怪，當年覃貴福家鄉人見其氣壯如牛，就有鐵牛的綽號。當他舉起石獅子，著實讓天王洪秀全吃驚不已，驚嘆世上真有如此神力的勇士。自信天國統一全國將指日可待了。大喜之餘，洪秀全立刻欽定覃貴福為天國武狀元，並賞賜其金鐙、銀鞍，賜宴天朝，就這樣折騰了三天才結束。之後，洪秀全授覃貴福第六級高級官銜——職同指揮。從此，覃貴福成為了天朝的一員高級將領。

為了籠絡覃貴福的心，讓其誓死效忠自己。洪秀全不惜讓自己的女侍衛長與天朝狀元覃貴福結成一對。夫妻兩人，一位保護著天朝老大洪秀全，一位替天朝南征北戰。然而，在太平天國後期的一次戰鬥中，覃貴福率軍與清軍大戰，卻不幸中了埋伏，被清軍將領蘇元春俘虜。覃貴福誓死不降清軍，畢竟自己現在的一切都是洪秀全給予的，而且自己的妻子都是人家所賜的。自己有什麼理由，背信棄義，成為天朝的叛徒呢。然而，被俘之時，誰都有不做叛徒的誓死之心。怎奈在清軍的威逼利誘下，這位天朝的將領最終屈服，成了天朝的叛徒。之後，覃貴福為清軍效力，戰敗太平軍，甚至成為清朝的二品大員。誰能想到，太平天國的武狀元最終成為了清朝的二品大員。

太平天國徹底失敗後，覃貴福辭官和妻子歸隱故鄉。夫妻還經常在家鄉表演武術，因為自己力氣大如牛，覃貴福常用手指夾住一摞銅錢，再一用力，銅錢瞬間全被壓扁。有時他還會從口袋裡取出銀毫，同樣用手指夾住，如果有人能用手或繩子把銀幣拿出，那麼錢就歸誰；如果不能，就得請他吃茶一頓。這位太平天國的武狀元晚年過得如此的愜意，這可能是天平軍將領中結局最好的一位。1913年，覃貴福病逝於家中，而自己的妻子，當年天王的女侍衛長一直活了90多歲，直到1926年病逝。

 

傲慢舉人被相士批命凍餓而死卻因一件事中了進士

 

清朝有一安徽舉人名叫華十五，本來的名字已經不得而知。他深研古學，好發奇論，恃才傲物，不僅詆毀前代的聖賢，並且挑剔當代名士的毛病。有人向他請教經義，他就說：「你們就像螞蟻，雖然有足，但是連庭院也沒有出過，還想與鴻鵠談論天上的事情嗎？」鄰縣有一位書生學識淵博，也非常自負，但仰慕華十五的名聲，認為除了華十五外沒有人可以談論學問。於是帶著平生的著作去拜訪華十五。去的時候，華十五剛剛起床，蓬頭赤腳出來見客。書生急忙把裝書的包袱放在桌上，上前向華十五作揖。華十五睜大眼腈東張西望，就像沒有看見人似的。

過了一會兒，僕人給華十五端茶送水，客人卻沒有茶。華十五旁若無人，不慌不忙地洗漱，洗完之後，就用書生的書擦桌子。書生氣極了，再也無法忍受，說：「我的文章雖然不算什麼，但字難道不應該敬惜嗎？」華十五把書拋在地上，說：「我正嫌它有字。若是論斤賣紙，沾了水的紙不是更重嗎？」書生撿起書恨恨離去了。華十五的玩世不恭，妄自尊大就到了這種程度。後來，華十五遠出，差不多十年過去了，家鄉的人不知他的音訊，人們都以為他已經死了。有一年，又逢禮部會試，發榜之後才傳出華十五高中進士的消息。當第一名的文章傳抄出來後，同學讀了文章都很詫異，說：「這果然是華十五的文章，但為什麼不像過去那樣鋒芒畢露了呢？」

當初華十五考中舉人時，名聲大震。有一位看相的見了他，說：「此人額頭上有挺骨，稜角太露，雖然名氣很大，但將來恐怕免不了會凍餓而死。」聽到這話的人都嘲笑相士胡說八道。到後來華十五由於為人傲慢，大家討厭他不近人情，連親戚朋友都不關照他，以至斷了生活來源，這才開始害怕起來，擔心應了相士的預言。華十五有一位親戚在外地當大官，他打算前往投奔，於是就匆匆上路了。華十五沒有仔細計劃盤纏，才走到半路上就沒有錢了，並且把衣服也賣完了。時值嚴冬，他餓著肚子行走在鄉村道上。寒風刺骨，又加上雨和雪，道路泥濘易滑，他摔倒在稀泥中，過了許久才慢慢爬入一座古廟，僵臥在神龕下麵。一會兒，有幾個乞丐提著筐子走進來，對華十五喝斥道：「這是我們的地盤，你快要死的人，為什麼睡在這裡？」華十五說不出話來，就被乞丐拖出去丟在路邊上。

恰逢一位老翁經過這裡，見他可憐，將他運回家中，用溫湯餵他。過了一天一夜，華十五才開始出聲。老翁得知他是一位舉人，更加善待他。華十五因為凍血凝結，全身紅腫，幾天後紅腫的地方都潰爛成瘡，過了三年病才痊癒。他病癒後食量特別大，每餐能吃一盆飯，一碗肉。又過了半年，他的身體變得強健魁偉，和從前完全不同了。他拜謝老翁說：「我受您老人家的大恩大德，無以為報，願意教您的幾位兒子讀書。」老翁很高興。於是華十五就在老翁家當了塾師，教了五年始終沒有間斷。家中的僕人婢女都稱讚他的為人，鄉裡的鄰居也都尊敬他。因此，老翁對他更加敬重了。遇禮部會試，老翁資助許多路費讓他進京趕考，於是考中了進士。

華十五由於經歷了許多艱難，過去傲氣已經消除殆盡，言為心聲，文章自然也就顯得平易近人了。不久，他得了知縣職務，任職十幾年，所到之處都做了一些有益地方的事，辭官回鄉時已經有可觀的財產了。親朋故友來訪，他待人謙虛誠懇，竭盡鄉誼。又過了二十年，華十五才去世了。聽說華十五在老翁家教書時，曾有農夫走進房間拍著他的肩膀，說：「先生現在吃飽穿暖了，還記得古廟中的事情嗎？」他神情嚴肅地說：「不敢忘記。」有時，他在村邊行走，村裡的孩子指著他笑：「這就是原來廟裡的那個乞丐嘛！現在變成了別人家的老師了。」他聽了卻毫無怒色。華十五天分極高，所以能夠完全改掉過去的毛病，前後判若兩人。後來他中進士、成為賢明的縣令，都是由於深刻反省、痛改前非的緣故，否則就會落得凍餓而死的結局。當初華十五因恃才傲物，以致親朋好友都疏遠他的教訓，尤其值得那些目空四海的人引以為前車之鑑。

積陰德糞便中也能挑出黃金即時換福報

 

清朝《觚賸》中記載順治十年三月，龍溪老農黃中和兒子小三駕著一隻小船，到了漳州東門去買糞肥，把船停靠在埠頭。埠頭挨著廁所，這便是他們買糞的地方。父子倆吃好飯，到廁所去挑糞，發現一個失落的腰包，把它拿回船上。解開腰包一看，裡面有六封銀子。

黃中對兒子說：「這一定是上廁所的人所失落的。富貴的人當然不會親自纏在腰裡，很可能是窮人的，那這銀子就性命攸關了。我應該等失主來還他銀子。」小三認為父親太迂腐，爭議不聽，就怒沖沖地跑回家去了。黃中把腰包藏在船尾，在岸邊停船坐等。過了好久，遠遠望見有個人飛奔而來，衝進廁所到處尋覓，來來回回號啕大哭，情狀十分著急、悽慘。黃中招呼他，問他怎麼回事。

來人說：「我父親被山上強盜誣陷，現在關在漳州獄中。昨天我去投奔有聲望的本地鄉紳，請託他向官府求情，許下一百二十兩銀子作謝禮。回了家倉倉促促賣掉田地房屋，又乞求親友告貸，一共才湊得一半。等太守允許保釋時，再想辦法全部送去。那銀子是用來為父親消禍的，於是才把銀包纏在腰間進漳州的。方才急於上廁所，解下腰包放在座板上，心慌意亂之下系上褲帶就走，竟把銀子失落了。我死並不可惜，但用什麼去解脫我父親的死罪呢？」說罷淚如雨下。 黃中詳細地問清了銀子的數目、腰包顏色都相符合，安慰他說：「銀子原封不動在這是，我等你很久了。」一面拿出腰包來遞給他，封口完好，和原來一樣。那人喜出望外，留下一封銀子謝黃中。

黃中說：「假使我有貪心，豈肯放棄六封而收受一封呢？」揮揮手叫他離去。這時船上糞快裝滿了，他兒子卻久等不來，他就一個人撐船回家。船到中途，忽然風雨交加，他把船靠在荒村邊。河岸被大雨沖刷，轟然一聲之下崩坍了，土裡露出一口壇來，壇口封灌著錫。黃中看不到裡面有什麼東西，只想到拿這個壇回去做存米的容器。壇重得很，他用盡力氣才捧到船上。不一會，雨止風和，月亮高掛柳梢。在月下他搖著櫓，半夜到了家。小三回去後把拾銀子的事告訴了母親，母子倆都在怨罵黃中。

黃中回到家，敲了敲門，他們都不答應。黃中就哄騙他們說：「我有寶壇在船上，你們可出來一起抬吧。」母子倆驚奇地起身，快步跑向船去。只見月光下壇口發亮，真是個寶壇。他們把壇抬上岸，鑿掉封錫，將壇傾倒，果然裡面都是銀元，大約有千把塊。黃中發呆了，簡直不敢相信眼前這一切並不是夢。 黃家和鄰居家只隔一堵蘆葦牆，睡在牆邊的鄰居，把他們夫妻的輕聲交談聽得一清二楚。鄰居第二天向官府告發黃家人偷挖人家的窖藏。龍溪縣令拘拿了黃中到庭審訊，黃中毫不隱瞞，一五一十講出了這一趟到漳州拾銀、還銀和獲銀的經過。

縣令說：「行善事的人得到善報，這是上天的恩賜，難道是旁人可以過問的嗎？」於是杖責鄰居，釋放了黃中。那些上天恩賜黃中的銀子足夠他家搬到城裡去，終身受用。
