"Good news, good news, good news from the front......"

As soon as the train came to a stop at the station, a sharp voice came from the platform, and the person's voice was so sharp that it could be transmitted directly into the carriage.

Although the man's voice didn't sound very loud. But the word "good news" in his words still immediately attracted the attention of the people in the carriage.

When the passengers in the carriage heard this, they were all in high spirits. They opened the windows and shouted at the man on the platform.

"Good news? The good news there? Where did you lay down again? ”

The man on the platform immediately grinned when he saw that he had attracted everyone's attention.

"It's the latest good news, just printed today, and it is guaranteed not to expire......"

He said, raising the newspaper in his hand, and then said.

"A copy of 50 articles!"

Before he could finish his sentence, the passengers on the other side began to shout.

"50 Wen, why don't you grab it?"

"That's it, this red paper good news is going to break the sky with 2 cents in the big market!"

"No, it's just a piece of paper the size of a palm......"

"This paper is still that paper, but what is this place? It's the train station! You don't look, someone looks at ......"

Obviously, the big guys can't accept the sky-high price of newspapers sold by this person. Although they were mentally prepared to sell things at the train station very expensive, they didn't expect that this very ordinary, and sometimes even money-free "good news", could be sold so expensive.

Then the shrill voice sounded on the platform again, and he didn't care about the passengers' complaints at all, but spoke without fear.

"Good news, the latest good news, a great victory for the official army, a great defeat for Jiannu...... Come and see the newspaper......"

Although the people in the carriage shouted that the good news was too expensive, in the end, curiosity and concern for the front line still made them buy the good news, which was originally worthless, and even delivered for free. Then, people all watched with amazement at the people who bought the good news, waiting for them to tell the news from the front.

And those who bought the newspaper did not hesitate to share the news, they were willing to share the victory from the front and the joy of victory with everyone.

Of course, they did not forget to curse the greed of the vendors, and the high price of the train station. After cursing for a while, they began to read the good news.

"On the third day of the lunar month, under the leadership of Zhao Xun, the commander of the left wing army of the Western Expeditionary Army of the Ming Dynasty, the city of Tashkent was restored, and 20,000 Qing captives surrendered in the city, Tashkent City means "stone city" in the native language, and was named after the alluvial fan at the foot of the mountain, with huge pebbles......"

Before the words fell, the audience over there already felt extremely boring, what kind of good news was this?

But it's just a normal battle report.

Maybe it's because there is too much news of the victory, and everyone's appetite has long been fed, so that they all feel that the "victory" should be at least a big victory like the total annihilation of the main force of the Qing army or the capture of Jingnan, the capital of Jiannu.

But now, it's just a seemingly simple win. This newspaper can be said to be very ordinary, and there is nothing worth reading at all. That is, some third-rate newspaper agencies use the gimmick of "good news" there. to deceive some people and earn two black-hearted silvers.

"Damn, a ** businessman!"

The people who bought the newspaper complained there, complaining that they had spent dozens of dollars to buy such a newspaper. A newspaper that is not worth mentioning, the news in the newspaper is simply ...... There is not the slightest look.

Fortunately, the victory at the front is always good news, and for the passengers on the train, whether it is the ordinary tax amount crammed into the third-class carriage or the rich people in the first-class sleeper carriage, they will always rejoice in the victory at the front.

Although there are too many victories now, it has made people's expectations of victories even higher.

Although it was not a "good news", the person who bought the newspaper continued to read it. As in the usual war reports, the war reports will also use words to describe the bravery of the front-line soldiers, and of course, the generous words of the front-line soldiers, which are nothing more than how the enemy's brutality makes them indignant, how they are enthusiastic on the battlefield, and how they forget to die in battle. Of course, even so, they have not forgotten their identity - the teacher of benevolence and righteousness.

So, after the surrender of the Qing army, they accepted the surrender of the Qing army......

Almost as soon as he thought of this, there was a whining sound in the carriage. At this time, they finally found the object to vent their dissatisfaction.

"Well, what's going on?"

"But no, how can you just be surrendered?"

"No, you shouldn't have picked all those bastards with bayonets!"

"That's it, even if you don't use a bayonet to pick it, you should be buried alive in a line, isn't it!"

"The sky has no eyes, they did a lot of evil back then!"

"When my grandfather was eight years old, he was killed by the Qing soldiers, and I hate those Tartars to death......"

The words of righteous indignation, in the carriage, you and I said word by word. Without exception, everyone looked angry, eager to drink the blood of Jiannu and hungry for Jiannu's meat.

It is no wonder that these days, all the newspapers in the Ming Dynasty will publish a "Lu Shenwen" in the newspaper every week, which is the atrocities committed by the Qing Dynasty after the "Jiashen Heavenly Change, Huaxia Lu Shen", and the memories of the witnesses have once again awakened people's painful memories, so that the memories that have faded away are clear again. The same hatred for Jiannu was also awakened, and while they agreed to pursue to the ends of the earth, they naturally did not want to be tolerant of Jiannu.

In the midst of righteous indignation, the passengers indignantly talked about the atrocities committed by Jiannu back then, and said indelible hatred, and then naturally expressed their unacceptability for the results from the front line, and the news of victory aroused people's dissatisfaction. The reason why they are dissatisfied is that the court is too tolerant.

"According to me, those Jiannu should all be killed, but as long as there is one alive, they will definitely make trouble again in the future, they made trouble in the northeast in the past, and now they are in the northwest, and they will still make trouble in the future!"

"But no, our Ming Dynasty has done its best to treat them in the past, you see how good we are to those people in the southwest? But Jiannu is different, those people have anti-bones in their bones, and now they are not as powerful as others, and they are all willing to surrender, but they will definitely rebel in the future. ”

"yes, what are the damn Jiannu going to do besides burning, killing and looting? If they are given a hundred and ten years, we will be unlucky in the future, rather than this, it is better to take advantage of the present to slaughter all the slaves, and first eliminate this bane, so that the world will stop. ”

"Hey, I said to you, why don't you know what it means to repay grievances with virtue? If you want me to say that this is the style of the dignified Heavenly Empire and the central country! My Ming officers and soldiers are dignified and benevolent and righteous teachers, how can they do the tyrannical thing of exterminating the clan and slaughtering the young......"

Before the words of this person fell, someone on the side immediately retorted.

"I think you are really stupid. In those years, how did Jiannu harm us? Let's let them go so easily now, are we worthy of the relatives and friends who were killed under the Yellow Springs? ”

"But isn't it, repay grievances with virtue? How to repay virtue? The truth of the bottom of the world is to repay virtue with virtue and repay grievances with straightforwardness! ”

In the carriage, passengers expressed their opinions one after another. Undoubtedly, almost all of them advocated revenge, and some even excitedly offered their ideas there. Words such as what should be built like the Mongols did, what should be cut off by men over three feet tall, and so on echoed in the carriage, and no one felt that there was anything wrong with doing so, after all, in the face of hatred, reason always took a few steps back.

Of course, for the future of the war, everyone is not worried, after all, for more than 20 years, the Ming Dynasty has never failed on the battlefield, and the Ming Dynasty has defeated one enemy after another countless times, as for Jiannu, it is just a group of defeated generals.

Because of this, people who are filled with a thirst for revenge in their hearts want to see the government clean up those people in a way they like to see.

What is the way in which the people like to hear and see?

Of course, everyone has their own opinions. But there is no doubt that the vast majority of people now want to be able to get rid of those guys once and for all.

Of course, now that the imperial court is dealing with it like this, it always makes them a little dissatisfied.

When the passengers of the third-class carriage were there to make suggestions for the country, they were there to express their dissatisfaction with words. In the first-class dining car, the passengers who were drinking tea also had to discuss the battle report there. Unlike the indignation of ordinary people, these people appear to be a little calmer.

"I think that's a signal."

Putting down the teacup, a middle-aged man who looked like a businessman said.

"If you pay attention, you should be able to see that in the past month, since Andijan, there has been constant news of the surrender of the Qing army, before our war reports were often "how many enemies were annihilated", and there was almost no news of prisoners, now it is okay, directly tell us that the Qing army is surrendering on a large scale, which is not only to show that the Qing army has lost the courage to resist, but more importantly, the signal is to show that the imperial court has a plan for the Western Regions! ”

"Plans? What is the plan? ”

"The plan is naturally to colonize the Western Regions, as we all know, my Ming Dynasty is different from any period in the old times, my Ming Dynasty has traveled almost all over the world in the past twenty years, and we have continuously moved a large number of people to the newly conquered land, let them build new cities there, settle there, and then it will become an area no different from the interior. This kind of expansion is different from the expansion of previous dynasties, but it is certain that as long as our people are there, it is impossible for the local people to rebel, and even the number of our Han people in the local area far exceeds that of the Turen, and now in the Western Regions, the land is too wide and there are too few people, so I think the imperial court is very likely to want to give those Jiannu a chance, after all, many of them are Han people......"

"Han people, just a group of traitors!"

"But, what's polite to traitors."

"Oh, you're welcome, but you know, even if the Han immigrants have passed, there is always a need for slaves and maids to work, I think it should be a good way to take prisoners as slaves......"

In this carriage, people's opinions are also clearly divided into two factions. Some people expressed support and understanding for the court's decision, while some people obviously did not approve of Zai's way of dealing with it, preferring to settle it all in a happy way.

The words from the side made Li Jiangkai smile.

"Yun Ting, do you think it is possible for the imperial court to take prisoners as slaves?"

After pondering for a moment, Wang Yun shook his head and said.

After they defeated the natives, they would accept the natives as slaves and educate them, many of whom later became "naturalized people", so that after several generations, the natives were no different from the Han people. Of course, as we all know, the master will also take his wife and daughter as concubines, so after several mixtures, the appearance and customs of the local people will eventually be completely from me. However, this is Zhuxia's method, and it is definitely not easy for the Ming Dynasty to implement. At least the DPRK and China Cabinets will never agree to it. ”

Not only will they not agree, they will definitely oppose it immediately, after all, "taking prisoners as slaves" is not a thing that can be put on the table, and even many scholars in the Ming Dynasty often take this as disdain, and often use it to criticize the "barbarism" of Zhuxia. Now that Daming is doing this himself, there will be pressure not only in the imperial court, but also in terms of public opinion.

Of course, this did not prevent them from buying slaves and maidservants from abroad. Even while they bought slaves and maids in large quantities to serve their own daily life, they also accused the slave trade in the newspapers.

For this kind of behavior at both ends of the snake and rat, the big guys are already familiar with it now.

"If someone does that...... After dealing with them, the court and the people will pretend to be deaf and dumb, but someone will definitely stand up for "taking prisoners as slaves". When the time comes, it will only cause a lot of trouble, and no matter what, the imperial court will not do this. ”

As an assistant professor of the academy, Wang Yun, who was ordered to go to Dihua, analyzed these problems naturally and was the first to be the way, unlike the righteous indignation or mercenary of ordinary people, he or Zhu did not know what the imperial court would do in the future, but he knew very well what the imperial court would not do, at least not what it would do openly.

"Indeed!"

Nodding slightly, Li Jiangkai said.

"Actually, from the younger brother's point of view, accepting Jiannu's surrender now is probably also for the sake of face and the face of the Celestial Empire. We are in the Ming Dynasty, different feudal states are barbarians, they can slaughter, we can't, the Ming Dynasty is the most cultured and cultured people in the world. Jiannu represents barbarism, Nanyang natives represent ignorance, and other natives are probably the same, either barbaric, or ignorant, only the Ming Dynasty represents civilization, and the future Chinese civilization will affect the whole world, and the whole world will be bathed in Chinese civilization, and this civilization should be benevolent and moral, not barbaric and ignorant, so even for the enemy......"

Face. In the eyes of some people, the imperial court has long lost the face of the Celestial Empire. But sometimes the imperial court will involuntarily maintain those somewhat illusory faces.

The words paused slightly, and then Li Jiangkai said with a smile again.

"We will also be tolerant, not blinded by hatred, we will not let Jiannu disappear from this world, because after disappearing, this history will become a shadow of Chinese civilization, and the future world will see the crazy side of this civilization, which is obviously not a ...... of the imperial court."

Looking at Wang Yun, General Li laughed.

"Especially what our Majesty wants to see, after all, in Your Majesty's opinion, in the future, the people of the world will be bathed in the indoctrination of China, and they will become more and more civilized, and the world will see that this civilization is perfect. That's why there is the present surrender, for the sake of ......"

Is that so? He didn't know very well, but she believed that there must be many people in the court who held such views.

Of course, revenge is certain, but while revenge and hatred, it must also reflect the benevolence of the Celestial Empire.

"Like a zoo? Leave some Jiannu behind, let them live, and then prove our benevolence and civilization? ”

With his eyes wide open, Wang Yun said as if he had suddenly realized. He immediately thought of the Kunlun slaves who were doing the display in the zoo. Could it be that the court is planning to throw those people into the zoo as well? If so, would it be too much?

Then he realized that this was just a metaphor.

"Oh, no wonder I didn't see surrender before, but now I keep receiving surrender, that's how I thought about it......"

Obviously, such a starting point is obviously easier for people to understand, and even Wang Yun can imagine why there has been no large-scale surrender until now, and not before, because Jiannu was still stubbornly resisting before, and Da Ming has always intended to leave them a way to live, but there is no suitable opportunity!

Well, now that they are willing to surrender, Da Ming will naturally not refuse to come. Naturally, they will be tolerant and benevolent. At the same time, let the whole world see how merciful the Celestial Empire is, even for those enemies who have a deep hatred.

Of course, no one will investigate whether this kindness is true or not, and it is enough for people to see that there are some Jiannu living in this world.

But...... Suddenly, he said again.

What about the Nanyang Zhuxia's "taking prisoners as slaves"? ”

Naturally, when it comes to benevolence and righteousness, you will think of the laws that Nanyang Zhuxia has implemented in the country, and those laws have nothing to do with benevolence and righteousness. It can even be said to be extremely tyrannical. This is also the reason why many people do not have much affection for them, but keep attacking them.

Those people's criticism did not have any impact on Zhu Xia, after all, the emperor supported them, and the imperial court also supported them.

"Nanyang Zhuxia, it's just Zhuxia, after all, it's not the Ming Dynasty, of course their behavior will be different from the Daimyo. Do you say yes, you see now, how benevolent and mighty the Great Tomorrow Army is......"
