611, Great War Jingdong (14)

The time of the three days came quickly, on this day, I saw fifty large and small warships in Dengzhou Port neatly lined up on the sea, the deck was full of soldiers of the Heavenly Dao Army, and then the shore was already crowded with people, and more were ordinary people wearing ordinary clothes, this was the day when Hua Rong set off, everyone looked at each other across the sea, wiped their tears, waved goodbye,

I saw a gray-haired old woman in the crowd on the shore, who was being supported by two young people, a man and a woman, and tried to stare at the warship on the sea, but she was already dizzy and couldn't see which one was her son's warship, and even if she found it, she still couldn't see which one of the people on the boat was her son.

"My son, you have to come back......!" The old woman gave up after all, and the old tears were muttering,

The young woman beside her quickly took out a handkerchief to wipe the old woman's tears and said, "Mother, don't be too sad, Uncle will definitely come back safely." ”

Another young man also hurriedly persuaded, "Yes, mother, the little brother is clever, and he will definitely be fine." ”

The old woman wiped her tears, folded her hands, and prayed to the heavens .......

In front of a warship closest to the sea, a family was lucky enough to find the warship on which their family was riding.

I saw that this was a very prosperous family, with an old father and mother, four or five children and daughters-in-law, and two childish children, all of whom came to bid farewell to a young family member who was about to go to the battlefield.

At this time, a woman's emotions are always the most fragile, and the old mother cries the most, and the old father quickly grabbed her hand and persuaded him, "I said, child, don't cry, don't cry, the child will miss it when he sees it!" Wouldn't it be good to let him set off with peace of mind? ”

The old woman nodded quickly, wiped her tears with her sleeve, and then raised her head and tried to smile at a sturdy young man on the boat, but how could the tears be easily stopped?

And a man in his thirties beside the old father and mother was shouting at the young man, "Third child, be careful in everything, don't rush to the front in everything......"

When the young man heard this, he seemed to be afraid that his comrades-in-arms next to him would hear that he would lose face, so his face turned red and he quickly interrupted him, "Oh, big brother, don't tell me, this is a great opportunity for me to make a contribution, how can I do that kind of mischief?" Okay, okay, don't worry! By the way, I'm not here, you have to take care of our father and mother! ”

The man nodded vigorously and replied loudly, "Brother, don't worry, with me and your second brother, third brother, and your sister-in-law and second sister-in-law, we will definitely not let our father and mother suffer a little grievance!" ”

The young man nodded, his eyes looked at his father and mother, no matter how ambitious he was, when he saw the white-haired father and mother, he couldn't help but roll in his heart, tears suddenly burst out of his eyes, and he suddenly knelt on the ground and shouted to the old father and mother, "Father, mother, the child is not filial and is going to travel far away, you two elders take care of their bodies, the child will definitely come back!" ”

The whole family burst into tears .......

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Zheng Fei withdrew his gaze from the crowd, only to feel that his heart was also unusually heavy, although he didn't want to send these young people to death, but ...... How many people have fought since ancient times? These young people are about to rush to the real battlefield, even if the army is strong, it is impossible to guarantee zero casualties, not to mention that the enemy they are about to face is the Jin army iron cavalry that is extremely powerful in the world, with thousands of troops but swept away the two major countries of Liao and Song, it is hard to imagine that when the war is over, how many of them can be lucky to come back alive?

In order to maximize their chances of survival, and for the sake of their families, Zheng Fei not only allocated the best equipment, weapons and armor to these thousands of people, but also ordered Hua Rong and Ruan Xiaoer to only choose those who have brothers and sisters in the family and those who are unmarried.

And today's parting scene also made Zheng Fei really feel the weight of power in his hands, any of his orders, plans, or even just a small thought will determine the fate of thousands of people for life, and the honor and disgrace of thousands of families! This kind of power is extremely terrifying, the right decision will benefit tens of millions of people, and the wrong decision will be ruined!

Zheng Fei couldn't help but sigh, no wonder countless people throughout the ages have been fighting for power, never dying, power is really a thing that can make people mad, especially absolute power! And the current situation of the Tiandao Army clearly proves this, take this time to send troops to Liao, although many people were very puzzled by this at first, including many senior generals, but from beginning to end, no one dared to stand up and put forward clear objections, of course, they did not oppose because they were afraid of Zheng Fei's "brutality", on the contrary, Zheng Fei has always been a person who is very willing to humbly accept advice, but even so, this situation still occurs, the reason is that It's just that because they all trust Zheng Fei extremely and regard Zheng Fei as an authority, even if Zheng Fei is wrong, they will unswervingly follow his orders.

This kind of subordinate trust in the leader, or to be precise, "blind obedience", is a kind of perfect power for any leader, but Zheng Fei does not think so, throughout the thousands of years of history in China, he knows very well that this kind of power without any restraint can easily lead to blind self-confidence and self-vicious expansion, when a person's preferences can be above the collective and can not be restricted, this power is no longer a good power, but a dangerous power!

Zheng Fei couldn't help but ask himself, can he soberly grasp the power in his hands in the future? It is not uncommon for monarchs to be wise in the early stage and mediocre in the later period, and now they are quite sober, but who knows what will happen in the future? If you say that you are really "faint" in the future, who can wake you up at that time? Who can restrain himself? Even if he is wise all his life, what if his children and grandchildren become bastard monarchs again?!

Zheng Fei secretly made up his mind that he wanted to establish a system or institution that could really restrain himself at the right time, and the absolute power in his hands must be divided, of course, Zheng Fei did not expect to establish a future democratic society in ancient times, and the system implemented in an era should match this era, and the current era obviously does not have all the conditions for the implementation of democracy.

When Zheng Fei was thinking, a voice sounding beside him woke him up,

"The last general will see the commander."

Zheng Fei turned around and saw that it was Hua Rong and Ruan Xiaoqi who had already come to him.

"All ready?" Zheng Fei asked,

Hua Rong hugged his fists, "It's all ready, ready to go!" ”

Zheng Fei nodded and said apologetically, "There are still a few days to celebrate the New Year, and I can't even let everyone spend the New Year at home, I'm really sorry." ”

Hua Rong and Ruan Xiaoqi hurriedly said, "Please don't say that, Commander, this is our glory!" ”

Zheng Fei walked over and patted the shoulders of the two people, but suddenly lowered his voice and said, "I have one more thing to tell you before I go, this matter is also very important, at present, except for me, only you know." Listen up! ”

Hua Rong and Ruan Xiaoqi looked at each other and were secretly surprised, what else was there besides fighting against Jin and accumulating experience in fighting with Jin?

Zheng Fei continued to say in a very low voice, "After you go to the Liao Kingdom, under the condition of ensuring safety, you must try to get in touch with the anti-Liao Han rebels in various parts of the Liao Kingdom, and tell them that the Heavenly Dao Army will not slander them as Han captives like the Great Song Dynasty, and the Heavenly Dao Army regards them as their own brothers and sisters, let them persevere, and the Heavenly Dao Army will definitely fight over and let them return to the embrace of the motherland!" If it is feasible, you can secretly subdue a few rebel armies, and then let them go to the Jin ......,"

Zheng Fei's voice became smaller and quieter, and in the end, only Hua Rong and Ruan Xiaoqi could hear it, and in the end, Hua Rong and Ruan Xiaoqi glanced at each other, and they both saw a deep shock in each other's eyes!

Hua Rong looked at Zheng Fei, his eyes were full of admiration, it turned out that he ...... This is the most fundamental purpose of the commander to let them go to Liao!
