Chapter 49: Faith

"I don't deny what you said, the Khitan people are indeed burning, killing, looting, and doing all kinds of evil, and there are also the Rong and Qiang tribes who are aiding and abusing, and it is because of this that we must face them squarely and face up to the creativity and combat effectiveness of these peoples."

After taking a sigh of relief, Liu Feng continued: "Our sect can't be divided ideologically, or we are extremely hostile to these peoples and regard them as barbarians who drink blood. Or worship these peoples, prostrate at their feet, and follow them. As a well-informed reader, do you think such an idea is desirable? ”

Guo Chongtao couldn't help but say that he was not a person who did not understand righteousness, but between ethnic hatred, it was difficult to let go of his deep-seated and deep-rooted thoughts.

"A person who has sinned deeply is not worthy of forgiveness!" He said with some insistence,

Unexpectedly, Liu Feng agreed, and said: "You are right, people who have committed serious crimes are not worthy of forgiveness, but such a person cannot represent his nation, let alone the people of other nationalities." The reason why we in Liujiabao accept these people is because they are suffering from plundering like us, and we are both living at the bottom of this society, a group of people who are struggling to live in this troubled world. ”

Guo Chongtao sneered: "If you have such an idea, sooner or later you will die at the hands of these aliens. ”

Liu Feng smiled: "Alien? Mr. Guo, do you know how big the world is? You should also know that there are still black-skinned Kunlun slaves, don't divide their identities so clearly, Han people, Qiang people, Rong people, Qian people, etc., and how many ethnic groups are there in the southwest, do you want to exterminate these ethnic groups? ”

Chongtao was a little angry, and Liu Feng continued: "Don't forget that Gaozu is also a descendant of the Shatuo tribe, so don't care too much about the difference between nationalities, all the villagers of my Liujiabao, whether they are from other military towns in the Southern Tang Dynasty or other ethnic groups, we have a common belief, that is, we want to live a happy and peaceful life, no matter who wants to destroy our current peaceful life, we will fight with him to the end." ”

Hearing Liu Feng say this, Ulan and the surrounding ethnic forts were a little dumbfounded, but they returned to normal in an instant, at this moment, they are not only the burghers of Liujiabao, nor are they any longer those wanderers who were driven out of the clan, they have like-minded brothers and sisters, they will build a peaceful and desirable land for those who have the same experience as them in this world, they are full of fighting spirit.

Guo Chongtao couldn't say how he felt now, he was shocked by Liu Feng's thoughts, and he also longed for that in this stormy land, there can be a place that is really as Liu Feng depicted, but his heart is more doubtful and incomprehensible.

A little dazed, he said: "Commander Liu, can what you say really come true?" ”

In fact, this is also the words that the people around them want to ask, they are all looking forward to the kind of peaceful life that Liu Feng just described, and they are extremely yearning for such a future.

The expectant eyes of everyone in front of Liu Feng rushed to their hearts with pride in an instant, and they pulled out the long knife on their waists, looked around, and said loudly: "If anyone doesn't let us live a peaceful and prosperous life, we will hold a long knife and talk to him, and one day we will use a long knife and iron gun to live a peaceful and prosperous life in this troubled world!" For all this, we will fight with our lives. ”

The sound of the roar resounded throughout the valley, as if they were venting, as if they were announcing to those who had plans that their territory of peaceful life was inviolable.

Hearing the thunderous shouts in their ears, Liu Feng and Guo Chongtao glanced at each other and smiled silently, Liu Feng smiled that these confused and hazy people finally have a direction and a goal to strive for, as long as this motivation is not slowly cooled down, it will bring unparalleled energy. The power of this spirit can sometimes outweigh the power of sharp swords and iron armor.

In Liu Feng's memory, all the armies that can fight hard have their own beliefs, and with this belief, they can complete many incredible tasks.

Guo Chongtao's smile contained a trace of emotion and bitterness, he sighed that in the past few months, everything here has been taken care of by himself, but he has never had such a side of forgetting life and death. What is bitter about him is that his national theory is exactly contrary to Liu Feng's beliefs, so there is no possibility of staying here.

……

A few days later, the frenzied atmosphere in the camp was still unabated, and that day, the conversation between Liu Feng and Guo Chongtao had already spread throughout the camp, although everyone in the camp still respected Guo Chongtao, but the mentality of respecting the Venerable Master had disappeared.

As time went by, Guo Chongtao became more and more frightened, as the main person in charge of the camp, he knew the situation of the camp. Although there are many people, there will inevitably be some collisions when various ethnic groups live together, and their work and rest habits are different, and disputes occur from time to time. In particular, most Han Chinese always look at people with a condescending gaze, which leads to the camp, and a large part of the energy is spent dealing with the contradictions of these people.

And now a situation of harmonious coexistence is playing out in the camp, which is not strictly required by decree, especially in this situation of external threat, they have exploded with amazing potential and awareness.

Tolerance is the best word to describe what is happening in the camp now, and after having a common goal, everyone is no longer divided by ethnicity, but by the division of the fort inside and outside the fort, and the villagers who are tightly united are full of strength when they work.

To Guo Chongtao's horror, a school was built in the camp to teach all the children in the camp to learn Chinese characters and Chinese culture. And the assimilation of culture is the starting point of national assimilation, in this troubled era, no one, too much care about how to protect their own nation from annihilation, in order to survive, they have to learn Chinese characters, have to learn more accepted etiquette customs.

Guo Chongtao secretly thought to himself: "Probably this is Liu Feng's confidence, because he is sure that these clansmen will identify with Liujiabao and the Han people." And when he integrates these bullied ethnic groups and unites and takes in those landless and homeless villagers, what kind of power will erupt in Cizhou is very exciting. ”

As he thought, everything Liu Feng did was to make these people more united, to survive and fight for a better life.

I can't expect how much change this will bring to the land under my feet, but I seem to be sure of one thing, the abandoned land on this side of Cizhou may be a place that people in other places yearn for.
