Chapter 580: Precursor to Madness, Cause and Effect Reverse Current (II)
"The emergence of these heroes means that after the founding of the Wu Dynasty, the dividends accumulated in the positive direction have been completely squandered by the predecessors."
The autumn breeze was blowing, and the grassy slope seemed to have a slight wave, and the fading of the sunset made the evening coolness gradually rise, but for the two of them, it was not a problem. After Ning Yi finished speaking, Qin Shaoqian thought about it, but muttered softly: "Although I don't understand it a little, isn't the founding bonus a long time ago......
"After squandering, you will start to move the country...... Ning Yi smiled, "Do you believe in cause and effect?" ”
"A few women around me believe it, me...... Don't believe in this thing. Qin Shaoqian picked up the string of beads he was wearing and shook it, "I remember that Liheng also doesn't believe it, right?" ”
"I believe that everything has a cause and there is an effect, and I don't believe in karma."
"What's the difference?"
"It's an arithmetic problem." Ning Yi drank the wine and thought about it, the lights in the military camp and courtyard in the distance had gradually turned on, and the traces of people gathered under the twilight sky, and after a long time, he continued to speak.
"Each of us, when we do something, there must be cause and effect, of course, this is true. In the general direction, we killed Zhang Jue, so that the Jurchens felt that we were cowardly, felt that we were cowardly, and began to beat us, you killed a person, and his family wanted to seek revenge on you. And on the small side, what Qin Xiang did in the past, what he said in front of Ershao, what you saw, and your current character, the Jurchens came, although they knew that they might not be able to fight, and you wouldn't choose to run away......"
"Of course!" Qin Shaoqian smiled.
Ning Yi also smiled: "The occurrence of every cause and effect, of course, is very complicated to calculate. But every time we do something, even a sentence or an action, it will lead to some other things, some influences. Some of this fruit is positive, some is negative. The problem is that the appearance of causes, in each person, is fixed, and the effects come. For everyone. It's all random. ”
Qin Shaoqian frowned, obviously confused.
Ning Yi took the branch and drew a few circles on the ground.
"Here's the thing, let's assume that there are ten people in a society. They do good and bad things. During the day. Everybody creates a positive one and a negative one, so there are ten of each, but they are in a whole society. Every positive and negative one descends, it is random, and then it is very likely that this person can get two positive ones, and one negative one will not have, and he is lucky, and the other person, with two negative ones on his head, he will be unlucky. Maybe he was wronged, maybe he was ostracized...... And if his background is not enough, it is possible to get a minus ten, and if he can't hold on, he will have to die. ”
Qin Shaoqian ate and thought for a while: "Then this is not completely random, if I kill someone, his family will definitely seek revenge on me." ”
"But the calculation of cause and effect is not a simple addition and subtraction, and at every moment, the causes of countless people have to be intertwined, which is troublesome." Ning Yi smiled, "You killed this person's father, he has no father since he was a child, he was bullied, he was looked down upon, in order to take revenge, he did many bad things, in order to kill you, he also killed a lot of people to practice first...... But it is also possible that when he was bullied and looked down upon, someone took pity on him, gave him a good life, and resolved the grudge in his heart...... The cause and effect of all people, gathered together, will finally come to everyone's head. Natural disasters aside, the total amount is essentially the same. ”
"It seems to be a little interesting......," Qin Shaoqian said, "What does that have to do with dividends or something?" ”
"The causes we create and the fruits that we draw are of course beneficial and harmful to the country. The state is a huge system, and every day it absorbs these causes and effects, and by means such as laws, it tries to evenly distribute these causes and effects on everyone's head. ”
The nearby soldiers lit torches and lit a bonfire next to them, and Ning Yi knocked on the small circle on the ground.
"At the beginning of the establishment of the country, the people were all positive, and they had all gone through the wars, and they knew that peace was not easy to come by, and they were prepared for danger in times of peace, and they would not lightly create those causes that harmed the country -- that is, they would not do bad things that harmed the country. Because the country is also young, all systems are sensitive and will also react quickly to these things. So in the early days, the country was getting stronger. But as time passed, there were always some people who gained a lot of positive causes, became landlords, became big families, and became small circles in the imperial court......"
Ning Yi didn't finish speaking, Qin Shaoqian nodded: "This understands, it's time to go down next." ”
"That's right." Ning Yi also nodded, "The emergence of an interest group will first safeguard its own interests, he will do some small good, create some positive numbers, but he will continue to expand himself." Think about it, a big official's family has received 100,000 peasant households, even if he collects less rent, the positive number of his family is still very small, and these 100,000 households, at least, they don't have much to do with him, who would think that this country has anything to do with him? They may be simple, but their ability to resist risks is insufficient, when a few more negative numbers drop on their heads, their family will be ruined, and then it will become a machine that continues to create negative numbers, and so on, the country will only get worse, which is also determined by human nature. ”
Ning Yi continued: "In the later stage of the country, there are more and more negative numbers, and there are fewer and fewer positive numbers that can benefit the country, and when the country's function is affected, the digestion of negative numbers cannot be even, and sometimes suddenly a lot of negative cause and effect falls on your head, unjust, false and wrongful cases, or large fluctuations that you can't withstand, and people who can't bear it can only die." ”
"And when the country collapses, at the level of the whole country, there have been a lot of negative causes, they are historical debts, and someone must pay them back, how much one person can repay, even if it encounters a small part, it must be filled with human lives, and the negative numbers created by the people of a country will be filled with hundreds of thousands, millions, and tens of millions of human lives. This is...... Cause and effect as I know it. ”
Qin Shaoqian looked at the few circles he had drawn, and they were clearly extinguished in the firelight: "Then Liheng still said that he doesn't believe in cause and effect?" ”
"It's faith in cause and effect. Don't believe in retribution. Ning Yi nodded to the circle representing ten people, "Every negative value of this is equal when it comes down to people's heads, you and I are the same, but the ability to take risks and bad luck is different." In the Wu Dynasty, 100 million people who received good luck and bad luck may be equal, but you will only know how much you will receive when it comes down, but if you can't bear it. You're dead...... Each of us has only one life to live. If there are 10,000 lifetimes of reincarnation, then we are really completely equal, but if there is no reincarnation, there is only luck and resignation. ”
"There is reincarnation. There will be retribution. You create good causes. Shanguo will always come back, but I ......" Ning Yi paused obviously when he said this. Then he said, "But I don't believe in reincarnation, so I don't believe in retribution." ”
The wind was blowing from the sky, and night birds were flying. The two of them were silent for a long time when they said this, and then they drank with each other. Although Qin Shaoqian is a martial artist and acts more straightforwardly, it does not mean that he has no wisdom. Ning Yi's statement, if he thinks about it carefully, he can still understand it after all, and the result is too heavy.
"Liheng thinks that I am a martial ...... It's already this time? ”
"I'm not sure." Ning Yi said, "Maybe it won't collapse, but the appearance of good causes and evil causes is obviously uneven." The country is no longer strong enough, so there is an invasion of foreign enemies, and at this time, a large number of human lives will be filled in. There are also some people, like the ...... of this country Immunity, they will take the initiative to catch up and digest a large number of evil consequences, but they can't bear it, they will die, this kind of person is the so-called hero. ”
Qin Shaoqian's eyes lit up, and he drank a glass of wine: "Then Liheng thinks, how many lives do you have to have?" ”
"I know you want to fill it out, but it's not just a human life." Ning Yi patted him on the shoulder, "Don't forget jì, this country owes a debt." The important thing is that before people die, they can pay off their debts, and when they don't pay off their debts, everyone dies, at most, they turn the negative number into zero and start all over again. ”
He paused: "So theoretically, the only way to pay off the debt is to have a lot of people alive and be able to keep generating this positive number, find a way to generate a positive number, and keep canceling out those negative numbers." One person can't cancel it out, 10,000 people come, 100,000 people come and millions of people come, and when a million people become a whole, they can digest a large number evenly. ”
"All dynasties, the so-called innovators, are all building a new system, so that the people of a dynasty can produce more positive numbers in a new way, but ...... Although it is said that a system can evenly digest those large negative numbers, in fact, there are always more and less, so some innovators fail and their families die, and some innovators succeed and they continue the life of a country, but in the same way, they also die. Because that's not a cause and effect that one person can bear. ”
Ning Yi smiled: "So speaking of which, of course I admire the chivalrous man in front of me, and let them talk about it when I tell the story, but in essence, I don't like this kind of thing." A country is like a thousand-mile embankment, in which people create good causes and evil causes, just like ants, some are repaired, and some are hollowed out, but many people are destroying a country most of the time. When Wu begged to buy the oath, Xu Zerun scolded Wu Qimai, it is said that he died very generously, he had a thousand good fields in his hometown, bullied men and women, and even several unjust cases were to be attributed to him. Many people talk about foreigners calling, swearing to be different from them, as if this is a big festival, what kind of patriotism, in fact, it's not, the kind of people who say, 'I don't lose at least a big festival', are not to be trusted. If people are good people in ordinary times and should not be corrupt officials, then they are patriotic. If the country has not let these negative values collapse and have no strength, how can foreign nations invade? And how can these heroes be needed......"
The night was blurry, Hoshino Tianhe, and the voice fell silent. Qin Shaoqian drank the wine, laughed twice, and the bonfire was burning, and at the other end of his vision was the brightly lit courtyard, the brightly lit military camp, the brightly lit Dongping Mansion, and the fields, villages and waterways near and far. After a while, they diverted from the subject, talking about the problems of the fortified walls, the remarks of the princes, and other retreats. It wasn't until the two of them got up from the hillside and prepared to go down that Ning Yi sighed and patted Qin Shaoqian's shoulder.
"Er Shao, I've talked so much, I know you know what you know about the war. It's hard to say what will happen to the Wu Dynasty, but people who do practical things sometimes can't be too persistent in everything. ”
Qin Shaoqian was full of alcohol, and he hiccuped for a long time, and after a moment, he also looked at Ning Yi: "I know what you mean, Liheng, but if I retreat at this time, what is the difference between me and those guys I look down on?" Liheng, I am the son of the Qin family, my father is in the court, so many people are staring at him, if I don't meet it, how many attacks will my father receive? Liheng, you are very knowledgeable, if you really have the right way, you might as well say it and listen to it. ”
His last words were somewhat ironic, the Jurchens had already killed in front of him at such a speed, and he caught up with him, and it was a joke to say that he could win. He has 50,000 soldiers under his command, the other party is 100,000, he has only been in charge of the Wurui camp for a year, and the largest official is still a civil official, and just a Guo pharmacist, who has been running Yanjing for several years, the imperial court not only has no control over him, but also uses Yanyun Liuzhou to transfuse blood to him with all his might. Coupled with the Jurchens' record in destroying the Liao Kingdom, compared with the strength of the former Wurui Battalion, this kind of battle, even if the overlord Xiang Yu, the god of war Lu Bu, and the white horse Chen Qingzhi are reincarnated, I am afraid it will be difficult to win. But how many options does he have?
These things can be seen by insiders.
"At this point in the world, it's not right to do anything, if you don't go, it's no different from those guys, you go, you lose your troops and give people a chance to break through, and my strong wall is the same, it is likely that because of this migration, more people will be starved to death by me than killed by the Jurchens, but what should be done is still to be done. To Ershao you, if you ask me how I am right, then I will only say two points, you can do anything, you can do anything. ”
Ning Yi also waved his hand quite drunkly: "First! You can kill half of them, number two! You can drag the Jurchen army here for ten days and half a month. Any of these two points can be done, two less, please die there, if you can't do it, you die, I treat you as a coward! ”
He sighed: "There are rich old people in Hangzhou, and now there are Zhou Dong, I respect them very much, but Qian Lao is a scholar and a retreat person, and Zhou Dong is his own." Second Shao, you are a general, endure humiliation and burden, and you have to live. Like I said, it's not the human life that matters, it's not the zero, it's that you have to create a positive number to help someone pay off their debts. ”
Qin Shaoqian's expression was stern, he looked at the military camp in the distance, and then at the sky, without speaking. Ning Yi's words may be different from his original plan.
Then, in the early morning of the next day, Wu Rui's army turned to the direction of Shouzhang County, preparing to block Yan Zongwang's Western Route Army.
Ning Yi stood on the grassy slope and watched more than 50,000 people pass by mightily, not knowing how many people would be able to come back.
And at this time, in front of him, there is also a problem of being strict enough. That's about the official work of clearing the wall.
When the Jurchens invaded the south, some people avoided it in panic, and some people went upstream, but then they found that they were all affected and coerced by the torrent......
Not long after this conversation between Ning Yi and Qin Shaoqian, the greatest chaos erupted in the hinterland of the Central Plains with a violent posture that no one could resist. (To be continued......)
