Human society is very strange, knowing that technology is the foundation of changing fate and improving the quality of life, but it attaches the most importance to politics.

No one can deny that it is politics that dominates human development, not science and technology. It is political conspiracy and the bloody war that make human blood boil and devote themselves to it, but it is still not technology.

In his previous life, Zhao Yue thought that this was some kind of fate obstacle that could not be seen, touched, and only understood, and that the dominant will was cleverly set up for the human beings on the earth.

With the most cutting-edge and advanced scientific and technological concepts and knowledge in the world that he mastered in his previous life, he deeply realized that human science and technology have progressed, but human brain functions have not been developed and used more with the progress of science and technology.

This means that no matter how hard human beings try, they are afraid that they will be trapped in this low-level utilization rate of brain function and weak sensory conditions, and will not be able to make breakthroughs in mysterious scientific speculation and conjecture, and even subversive scientific and technological knowledge, which means that human beings cannot master higher-level scientific knowledge and cannot get out of the earth's cage.

The demise of humanity on Earth is almost certain. The rest is only a matter of time.

His desire for mysterious exploration of the universe and life is extremely strong, which is the internal motivation for him to become a top fanatical scientist in his previous life, and he longs for a magical time to obtain the answer in this life, but God does not show miracles and does not seem to give him a chance, Zhao Yue can only hide his mind in the bottom of his heart again, and he continues to speculate and conjecture silently.

There are so many rivers/mountains/delicate, leading countless heroes to bend their waists, which undoubtedly arouses the fighting spirit and ambition of the group.

Ignoring the hardships of the long journey in the bitter cold, the group hurried into the Yanjing-ruled area, where they met Duan Jingzhu, who had come to greet him, at an inn agreed upon in the advance telegram.

Duan Jingzhu, like Zhao Yue, only brought four people. The name is interesting, one is called Money Jar. One is called Niu Jinbao, and the other is called Jin Laishun. The other is called Ma Decai, the whole team of Yicai fans.

When Zhao Yue and the five of them heard the introduction, they couldn't help but laugh. Duan Jingzhu and four of his cronies also laughed.

The guy called the money jar grinned and said: "Our grandmother named us this name, it is estimated that when we were young, they expected that we were born to be robbers and horse thieves." We feel that we are really suitable for this, and we have to use a large vat to rob a lot of money. Treasure is entered, gold comes, and wealth is fulfilled. We didn't disappoint my grandmother! ”

This caused another burst of laughter.

Different people are suitable for different things. In special times, some people are suitable for doing special things.

It's no wonder that Duan Jingzhu's gang can be so proud and happy as horse thieves.

Compared with the feminine and hypocritical politics of the Great Song Dynasty, the rough Da Liao's management of the people and the physical and mental imprisonment of the people were relatively loose and many times looser.

If we do not pay attention to national dignity, although the Han people in Daliao have a low overall political status. The official career is slim, and it is extremely difficult to get rich, but the overall life happiness index of the people is specified above that of the Song people.

First of all, there are no endless cities and fortifications, no endless roads, no endless rivers, no endless embankments, no endless military rations, and in short, no endless compulsory labor.

Because nomads don't need too many castles. The law of survival they believe in is to attack. Attack, then attack, is to take the initiative to attack the enemy country, rather than being beaten by passive defense like the Great Song Dynasty. There is no need to build and reinforce too many fortifications. Grazing, where cattle, horses, and sheep can walk, are roads. There is no Yellow River that floods at every turn. The land is vast and sparsely populated, and the fields are vast and cannot be planted. If the river overflows, let it change freely. It's time to improve the pastures and the fields that are becoming more and more barren. The number of professional regular troops in Liao was far less than that of the Song army. The horseback people, both men and women, grew up to be born warriors, and when they were ordered to gather, they were armies. The army had many horses. Military rations are brought by themselves.

The political system of the Great Liao did not have the extremely complex overlapping structure of the Great Song Dynasty, the bureaucracy was simple, and the overall number of officials in proportion to the population was much smaller than that of the Great Song Dynasty. There are also too few officials at the grassroots level, and the direct knocking on the bones and marrow of the local people, and the wanton oppression of the local people are relatively reduced.

There are few troops, few officials, and few large-scale projects...... It means that the consumption of national income is low, the financial burden is light, and the tax pressure of the people is also reduced.

In a normal year, the Han people in Liaodi rarely work hard for a year but starve half to death. Eating meat and drinking milk often is not like eating grass, it is a dream-like extravagance like Song Min.

Zhao Yue found that the physical fitness, survival fighting spirit and optimistic attitude of the Yanyun Han people were far from being comparable to Song Min.

The betrayal of the country and the nation by the masses of the people is not due to the willingness to forget their ancestors, but is caused by the greed, excessive erosion, ruthlessness, selfishness, and incompetence of the ruling class.

In the relatively free vast land of Liao, in this special period, Duan Jingzhu's ability was fully utilized.

In fact, the horse thief army led by Shi Yong, Duan Jingzhu, Pan Xun, and Pan Su has only four of them as regular members, plus thirty or forty henchmen and guards who were basically there when they were horse thieves in the early days.

The core members of the horse thief army led by him are 200 soldiers of the Northern Army of Cangzhao, which are not fixed, regardless of merit and loss, and are generally changed every year.

This is also an effective means of training and strengthening the Northern Army to familiarize itself with the human conditions and geographical conditions in the areas ruled by Jin Liao.

With these warriors who are familiar with Jin Liao, it is very convenient to have someone who understands to lead the way to loot Jin Liao at the moment. When the day comes to the great counteroffensive in the north, there will be a ready-made powerful guide.

At the beginning, the four generals of Shi, Duan and Pan led the team of more than 200 people to gallop in the north, north to Jinguo, west to the grassland, south to Yanyun and even some areas of Western Xia, back and forth like the wind, on the enemy, looting and accumulating horses, money and precious materials, and later found that for a period of time entrenched in one place, looting and annexing local robbers, horse thieves and thieves to make faster and greater profits, not only less wind and food and accommodation and the hard work and fatigue of hastily moving again and again, but also not easy to become a thorn in the official side, safer and more labor-saving, They made use of their sophisticated weaponry and the very high tactical and combat qualities that the Northern Army had rigorously trained to entrench themselves in one place and one place at a time, and worked hard to eat the black in the local area.

The Great Song Dynasty ruled strictly, but there were still many thieves and robbers.

The vast geographical environment of the north, the loose rule and management, the barbaric and ferocious tribes and wandering customs, and the convenience of horses, etc., were prompted by human greed to determine that the robbers and thieves here were no less than those of the Great Song Dynasty. At least the number of thieves is far more than that of Da Song. Song merchants' foreign trade to obtain huge profits, in fact, is also a high-risk job.

The team of professional robbers in the north is not large. There is no such thing as the Great Song Dynasty that talks about 10,000 people at every turn. The vast land and sparsely populated and the unruly idea of self-being the king formed by the tribal consciousness doomed it to be difficult for horse thieves and other bandits to gather a wide range of subordinates. It appears on a small scale, with as few as 180 people and as many as 3 or 400 people, and pays attention to concealment, mobility, flexibility and efficiency when committing crimes, and it is rare for the number of people to exceed 1,000, otherwise they will either be starved to death by a huge consumer group under the pursuit and suppression of the government, or they are qualified to support the people and stand up as kings.

This gave Duan Jingzhu and his gang of alternative gangsters a good opportunity to engage in black and black food.

Northern horse thieves and robbers are mostly one-man and two-horseed, and under the cruel and ruthless law of the jungle like animals, the fittest survive. Survival of the fittest, can survive the dangerous test, the horse is an excellent war horse, people, superb equestrianism, vigorous skills, riding and archery skills are extraordinary, the force is not low, fierce and cunning. But no matter how powerful they are, they are not the opponents of Duan Jingzhu and his gang, which are equipped with more advanced weapons and equipment, and have higher and more comprehensive military qualities such as reconnaissance, tracking, and combat.

One by one, the leaders of horse thieves and bandits and the unruly backbone were raided and killed, and the wealth accumulated by the surviving subordinates and the old nest was forcibly annexed by Duan Jingzhu and his gang. The new subordinates who were absorbed were tempted by Shi Duanpan, who was already very eloquent and armed with ideas and had the ability to persuade and educate, and was kidnapped by his relatives. Brainwashing, demagoguery and other means to appease and subdue.

In fact, although the north is vast and free, the living environment is also dangerous and cruel.

Once people get used to being robbers, they become famous. Unable to turn back and integrate into the normal life group, the backbone of the leader died. If you don't obey the new and powerful group of horse thieves who are entrenched in the area, it will be difficult to survive. Life away from the team. Not to mention a single family, it is a small group of people, and the wild wolves roaming around and preying are enough for them to drink a pot.

The cruel environment of reality, coupled with the belief that only the strong since ancient times is the belief of robbers, and there is no shackles of the false Confucian loyalty and righteousness of the Han people in their minds, although the horse thieves are fierce but subdued, and it is not difficult to accept them if they can live more majestic and domineering than before.

In the past few years, the Shiduan Pan Division has continued to annex horse thieves and mountain thieves in the vast area of Jinliao, accumulating a huge amount of wealth and thousands of Kou people and fine horses every year, and will use the equipped radio station to contact their hometowns, and the pirate army that must come to loot Jinliao every year and train troops at the same time will take over, transfer all the achievements such as people, horses, money, and goods, and then continue to go to new places with the new 200 soldiers to loot and entrench, and eat black.

These fierce horse thieves who were lured by the annexation and bewitchment were naturally incorporated into the Cangzhao Northern Army, and their relatives were placed in the rear of the South China Sea to live a quiet, happy and safe life, no matter what race he is, and whether he himself is willing to join the Cangzhao Army or not, he has to be brainwashed and assimilated by the melting pot of the army, and transformed into a strong combat member of the Cangbei Army.

In the area they left, the powerful and fierce old thieves disappeared, and the den that was conducive to entrenchment must soon be occupied by the reckless new thieves.

Under the multiple torments of the Jinliao rivalry, the increasing social turmoil, and the government's exploitation of the people, slavery, and forced conscription into the army, horse thieves and thieves will only increase, but will not decrease or even disappear. This is an inevitable law and phenomenon of society. It is also one of the reasons why the huge Liao State was destroyed by the small new Jin State that rose in ten years.

It's just that these newborn thieves have just embarked on the road of thieves, and they have not yet been tested by cruelty and danger, nor have they accumulated wealth and fine horses. Let them toss Jin Liao there first. When they are qualified to be hacked, they will go back and clean up.

The Shiduan Panbu Horse Thief Army has achieved brilliant results and made great contributions, and has made great contributions on another front, proving its ability and value.

These 30 or 40 stable and unchanging core backbones have played a decisive role in the results of the battle, and their quality has become higher and higher, and their ability has become stronger and stronger, and each of them has reason to be proud and proud.

Zhao Yue praised with a smile: "You came here to attack and destroy, you did a good job." I'm here too. I hope to do as well as I can do well with you this time. ”

Duan Jingzhu and these people still live the same robber life as before, wandering in the north for a long time, and are less affected by factors such as the internal politics of Cangzhao, even if they return to rest, they are still in Zhaozhuang, and they undoubtedly have a more intimate relationship with Zhao Yue, and they also admire Zhao Yue's character and ability the most.

They heard Zhao Yueping's modest praise in person, which was very different from listening to others' praise, and their hearts were as sweet and fragrant as eating honey.

Jin Laishun smiled and said: "Who in the world can compare with Gongzi?" With you, what is the Cui family? ”

Zhao Yue smiled, not much humble, nodded and said, "Then let's talk about the situation of the Cui family?" ”

Duan Jingzhu smiled: "It's also a coincidence. In the past few years, every time our brothers went to hand over supplies and personnel to the warships, they would lead thousands of horse thieves under their subordinates to loot the Jinliao tribe and military horse farms on a large scale, and snatched a large number of war horses and critical materials in the central and western regions, which made the Liaojin and Jin sides suffer heavy losses and annoyed, and our looting also seriously damaged the trade of the Song merchants. The two countries have suffered a lot and gradually figured out some rules, and they have begun to focus on cracking down on the strength of those entrenched places where many horse thieves have gathered, so that our brothers are not very good at settling down in the central and western regions, and after completing the task last year, they had to retreat to Yanshan, wanting to play under the nose of Yanjing, and they didn't want to catch up with the Cui family near Yanjing. ”

"We took the new 200 soldiers to hide in Yanshan, do some work in a small fight, wait and see what happens, and then decide what to do next. After reconnaissance, it was surprising to find that there were nearly a dozen horse thieves hidden in the mountains around Yanshan, focusing on robbing passing merchants, especially Song merchants. ”

"There are only forty or fifty of them, and there are less than two hundred, and most of the backbone members are poor men and heroes who are unbearable to be exploited by the Yan army and forcibly conscripted into the army as cannon fodder.

Later, with the northern Khitans moving south. Some Khitan men who had been reduced to nothing by the war and were empty-handed ran here, were robbed, and felt that it was a way out, so they joined in. The composition is complicated, but the fierce combat power is stronger. ”

"We are idle, and we are used to it, so we raided and conquered and annexed these horse thieves one by one, gathered 14,500 people and horses, and set up a village as a nest in a secret and dangerous place in Yanshan.

"There was no work in the winter, and everyone gathered in the nest cat to celebrate the New Year in winter. was thinking about the development plan for the new year, and it happened that there was an order from home to scout the Cui family. Our brother was idle, and he was both resentful and excited, and he personally went out to find out the bottom of the matter, and finally found the location of Cuijiabao. Unexpectedly, I found that the Cui family had another force outside, and they were still hiding in Yanshan, and what was even more coincidental was that it was almost back-to-back with our lair, and they were all hidden in the most dangerous depths of Yanshan. ”

"The depths of Yanshan are densely forested with primeval mountains. There are many fierce beasts, tigers, leopards, jackals, bears, blind people, and poisonous snakes, all young and old. Even local hunters in our area dare to go deeper, and it is difficult to be discovered. We interrogated the men who were caught going back and forth between the Cui family, and only then did we generally understand that the real base camp of the Cui family in Yanjing was in the cottage. After reconnaissance, it was found that the cottage of the Cui family was indeed a good place that was secret, easy to defend and difficult to attack. There are rough but hidden roads in the mountains that allow for horses. The locals are afraid and unaware of its existence. It was all the Cui family who poked out little by little. It is really a cunning rabbit three holes, a treacherous and slippery old wealthy family, and it is well versed in the way to protect one's life. (To be continued.) )
