Chapter 417: Stand on the shoulder
Fang Yongyong said a sentence for a long time, and then he realized that this sentence was actually quite rebellious, and he hurriedly made up another sentence: "Hou Ye is a good official, and the little one is willing to work hard for Hou Ye." ”
His intentions were quite sincere, but Lu Bang on the side secretly scolded: dog legs! Is Hou Ye so easy to climb?
Sure enough, Lu Bang peeked and saw Wang Xiao's expression faint.
Fang Yongyong's heart became more and more timid, and he leaned on the ground and trembled.
Wang Xiao's eyes were filled with helplessness.
The huge disparity in status brought about by this power not only made him feel a sense of superiority, but also a kind of loneliness of being isolated from the world.
Although the difference between the marquis and the colt is only one layer, for the common people, the difference in power is worlds apart.
Although the horse is a royal in-law, many people feel that "you are nothing more than handsome and willing to be cheap", although most people in the world may not even meet the conditions for the primary election in a few lifetimes, but psychologically there is still some contempt. The marquis is different, the marquis is no different from the prince in the eyes of the people, they are all heaven-like existences.
"I'm not an official, and I don't want you to die for me. Neither should you expect me to be your master. The king smiled and said, "You live, your life is your own, not Ma Yongwang or anyone else's." In the same way, when a foreign race enters the customs and goes south, you should not serve anyone because you obey orders. It should be to fight to protect oneself, to protect one's parents, wife and children......"
According to Wang Xiao's current status and means, he can indeed easily subdue these people. But it was not enough, so more than 1,200 shriveled and thin men gathered together and stood in front of the Jurchens in a daze, with no combat power at all.
Of course, Wang Xiao also wants to be like a so-called heroic character, subjugating everyone under his command, and then fighting invincible and invincible......
But he understands that the time for romantic, personally-minted history is over. Looking at the vicissitudes of life in the next four hundred years, Li Zicheng and the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom could not save this nation; Scholars and strategists such as Li Hongzhang and Zeng Guofan could not be saved...... However, it is not without experience to draw on.
The war against Japan three hundred years later is Wang Xiao's best reference now.
What kind of army is the best army in the world? People's Army.
When thousands of people are reduced to hesitation and numbness, they have no faith in their hearts, and they do not know why they are fighting. He didn't want to go over and take them one by one.
This is not efficient.
He was going to try to wake them up with a deafening voice.
Unfortunately, his souls are separated by four hundred years of time and space, and his thoughts are extremely difficult for these people to understand.
The air was silent.
This feeling of playing the piano to the cow is also very painful.
The military household kneeling there lowered his head for a long time before someone asked in a very low voice, "Is Master Hou angry?" ”
After a while, someone shouted, "I'll know my mistake!" We will be loyal to the Hou Ye, to the Holy Lord, and to the Great Chu Sheji......"
"I'm wrong! May I be loyal to the Great Chu Sheji! ”
In the shouting, Wang Xiao shook his head, a little annoyed and a little helpless.
……
The light of the bonfire and the smell of rice wafted far away, attracting some hungry people.
The hungry people did not dare to come closer, and looked from afar, with salivating expressions on their faces.
Wang Xiao ordered the soldiers to bring them over and drink porridge.
He was going to use a lot of words to 'win hearts and minds', but he didn't know how to organize the language and how to make these people understand.
"You say you are willing to die for me, can we beat the Jurchens alone?"
"On what basis do you say that you will die for me? Because I'm the Marquis? So what if I, like Ma Yongwang, want to rob your corrupt officials?
"You say you will die for me, but if one day I am defeated, will you kneel before the new victor again and shout loyalty, as you do today?"
"For 300 years, you will always be like this. Groveling under power, draining the flesh. When I come, you will die for me, and when the Jurchens come, you will die for the Jurchens! When the time comes, they will even turn their knives around, follow their iron hooves, and raise their knives to slaughter their compatriots? ”
Speaking of this, the military households shouted: "I dare not wait ......"
Wang Xiao shook his head, and said in his heart: Don't dare? I know you're going to do that, I've seen it.
"Don't dare? I'm fed up with your 'dare', and I'm not unafraid of your insensitive allegiance. Can you straighten your backs and live with dignity?! ”
There was a loud shout, but no one dared to respond.
There was silence for a while, and someone gently persuaded: "Master Hou is angry." ”
"I can't stop this anger, when this family and country are in danger, I ask you, who should defend the country? Whose kingdom is it kept? ”
Everyone looked at each other, and a few scattered people whispered a very appropriate answer.
"We're here to guard! Guarding His Majesty's ......"
When Wang Xiao heard this answer, he breathed a sigh of frustration.
- Well, I don't believe in it. I'll grind with you slowly.
Thinking like this, he rolled over and dismounted, rolled up his sleeves, and planned to talk to them properly.
~~
These days, Wang Xiao has been thinking about where to accumulate strength?
He also said to Qin Xiaozhu that "you need to stand on the shoulders of a great man", and now, this thought and idea finally began to become clearer little by little.
At least, he had already figured out which great man's shoulders he was going to stand on.
"Our war with Jiannu is not only a national war, but a revolutionary national war."
The boy spoke, trying to adjust his tone.
"Now, your country needs you, and you need to know who you are."
"What kind of people are the most people in this Chu country? It's you, it's you peasant class who have nothing. You should not fight for anyone's country, but for your own destiny, because this is your home country! ”
"The peasant class should be mobilized and armed. At least wake up......"
~~
Everything is still very obscure, and Wang Xiao himself has not yet figured it out.
He didn't learn well in politics when he was a child, and now he is still slowly sorting out his thoughts, trying to find a bumpy and tortuous path in the dark.
He didn't know if it was too far ahead of his time to talk about it.
But he knew that there would never be another such opportunity for more than 200 years.
Now is the period of the most unstable power of the ruling class, the most corrupt and fragile feudal bureaucracy, and the darkest and most miserable life of the peasants in the following two hundred years......
At the same time, under the oppression of the bureaucratic gentry, the majority of the people had lost trust in the whole dynasty and waited indifferently to fall under the iron hooves of the aliens. Without guidance, the building will fall.
This is a slim opportunity and a last resort.
Whether it is success or failure, Wang Xiao wants to give it a try and try to see if he can ignite a little spark in the torrential rain......
