Chapter 11: Fang Haoyin's Fear
Qin Mu doesn't know much about history, because he doesn't like to get entangled in the details of history, not because he doesn't know history at all. On the contrary, he has his own understanding of history.
He didn't know which dynasty Xuanhe was in, but he knew that a peasant uprising like Fang La would not end well. Thousands of years of historical facts amply illustrate this point.
Hangzhou was the pinnacle of Fang La's rebellion, and then he was defeated all the way, and finally retreated to the mountains, where he was captured by Han Shizhong and made a prisoner of the Great Song Dynasty.
"Good sound, you are a girl who has read books, unlike other women."
Qin Mu's words made Fang Haoyin's heart snicker. Sure enough, he was different in his heart. Sister Red Line also took advantage of the early. If he had met Qin Mu first, he would definitely not have anything to do with Sister Hongxian.
She forgot that she actually knew Qin Mu earlier than Jia Hongxian, but at that time she kicked her "brother-in-law" away.
Qin Mu couldn't think of the chaotic thoughts in Fang Haoyin's head at all, and saw her honestly leaning on herself, thinking that she was listening to herself attentively, so she continued to talk to herself.
"Tell me, why did your father rebel?"
"Because I was bullied by the government."
"And what about the people who rebelled with him?"
"I was also bullied by the government."
"If you think about it again, do they have the same reasons as your father?" Qin Mu did not agree with Fang Haoyin's answer.
Fang La is not a grassroots person, he has a lacquer garden at home, at least he is also the same identity as a member of the staff.
Fang Haoyin didn't seem to think that Qin Mu didn't approve of her words, but she had to think carefully about her brother-in-law's words, and her brother-in-law wouldn't talk nonsense to her.
After thinking for a while, Fang Haoyin seemed to understand something, and said hesitantly: "Those people can't live anymore." There was no food to eat. ”
"That's right," Seeing that Fang Haoyin was so smart, Qin Mu couldn't help but like it even more - smart and beautiful is of course more lovable: "The person who rebelled with your father and your father are two kinds of people, you must distinguish this clearly." ”
Fang Haoyin nodded hurriedly.
She now understood what Qin Mu meant. His father and his group of mud-legged people are indeed not a kind of person.
"Your father rebelled, one person definitely can't do it, he has to pull up a group of people. But who would follow your father in rebellion? For example, I won't, because I still have food to eat. ”
Fang Haoyin twisted his body uneasily. How much she wanted Qin Mu to follow her father to rebel! If Qin Muken nodded and agreed to rebel with her father, even if she was asked to be a child, she would do it, and even if Qin Mu accepted a few more women, she would not object.
"The people who followed him in rebellion definitely didn't want to be emperors or officials, maybe they would think this way in the future, but they definitely wouldn't think like this now. The only thing they want is to be fed and live. ”
"But with Daddy, you can eat enough."
"That's right, if you can't eat enough to follow your father to rebel, why do they follow your father to work hard? Your father gave them enough food, but your father is not a granary, and he will not turn food out, so he can only take this group of people to loot everywhere. Only when you grab it can you eat. ”
"Looting?" Fang Haoyin was a little unhappy. In her eyes, her father's rebellion is very just, just like the king of martial arts, sacred, and a crusade against the faint king. Isn't the emperor a faint king? The people of Jiangnan can't survive anymore, can such an emperor be a good emperor?
But how can my brother-in-law use the word "robbery", which is a bad word. Fang Haoyin is much more knowledgeable than Jia Hongxian, and even remembers the story in "Warring States Policy" clearly, so he naturally knows that this is not a good word.
"Yes, looting." Qin Mu couldn't let go of his mouth in this place. This is also the basis of what he will say in the future: "Although the grain is in the granary of the imperial court, it is all planted by the people with hard work, and it has nothing to do with your father. ”
"But according to what you say, brother-in-law, didn't the court also rob the people?" Fang Haoyin sensitively discovered the logical contradiction in Qin Mu's words.
"There's a fundamental difference here." Qin Mu carefully explained the difference with Fang Haoyin: "The reason why the imperial court is a imperial court is not because there is an emperor, but because it provides a set of systems so that the people can live normally under this system." ”
He knew that Fang Haoyin didn't understand these things very well, so he didn't wait for her to reply, and continued: "For example, we are in Bianliang, why can we walk on the street with money instead of taking a step and encountering a robber?" Is it because the people in Bianliang City are all saints? Apparently not. It's because robbery is a crime and you have to be taken to jail. ”
Fang Haoyin understood this paragraph, but it was not fully connected.
"Why are they afraid of breaking the law? The law is a word written on paper, which word can jump out and hit someone? Surely not. They were not afraid of words, but of the swift arrest of the officials, and the court had the manpower to enforce these laws. That's the system. ”
"Is this the system?"
"This is just a small aspect of the system, and in a larger way, such as you and me, we are walking here, why does that flower seller ask me for money? Why should I give money? Why can't I just grab it and put it on your head and kick him away? ”
Fang Haoyin smiled secretly. Obviously, Qin Mu kicked the flower seller away and snatched the white rose to wear on his head.
"This is the system, but this system has been imperceptibly observed by us for many years. It's as natural as breathing. We breathe all the time, but have you ever noticed that you are doing it? ”
Fang Haoyin found that he really hadn't paid attention to this.
"It takes manpower to maintain the system, and these manpower maintain the system. The existence of the imperial court is not because of the emperor, but because the people who maintain this system need such a court and have the power to collect money and food, so that those who maintain this system can live. ”
"If they don't have anything to eat, the system won't be sustainable." Fang Haoyin understood Qin Mu's words.
"Yes, if the system can't be maintained, don't talk about your father Fang La, it's why should I spend money to buy flowers, if I like it, I can grab it, anyway, that flower seller can't beat me."
"But the slave family beat you." Fang Haoyin said with a smile.
"Yes, I beat that flower seller, and you beat me, but there are always people who have beaten you, so there are still living people in the world?"
Fang Haoyin was silent. It was the first time in her life that she had heard such a truth.
Qin Mu's language is not the tone of the book at all, there is no literary brilliance, as if he and Jia Hongxian chat on weekdays, but what he says is so real. This world seems to have become different in Fang Haoyin's eyes.
"There's nothing wrong with your father wanting to be the emperor. The emperor takes turns to do it, and tomorrow he will come to my house. Didn't the emperor of this world be surnamed Zhao from the beginning, the old Li family, and the old Chai family, didn't they all be emperors? There is no rule in the world that the emperor must be surnamed Zhao, and he must also be a descendant of Zhao Kuangyin. ”
Fang Haoyin's mouth opened wide in surprise.
It was the first time she had heard such a rebellious word come out of Qin Mu's mouth. This is the realm of the Great Song Dynasty, and it has not yet reached Daddy's territory.
Fortunately, there were not many people nearby, and Qin Mu whispered in her ear again, so as not to cause a riot.
Fang Haoyin felt sweet at the same time, he really didn't misunderstand Qin Mu, a man who was not even afraid of the emperor, and he was a great hero of slaves.
"Your father wants to be the emperor, I don't object, even if you want the emperor, I don't object, but let me ask you, is there any difference between the emperor that your father wants to be and the current emperor of the Great Song Dynasty?"
"Naturally, the difference is big, if my father becomes the emperor, there will definitely be no more flowers and stones, and the people will no longer starve to death."
"Okay, your father became the emperor, no longer let the people starve to death, there is no Hua Shigang, then this is what happened after he became the emperor, he has not been an emperor yet, he just wants to be an emperor. Thinking and doing are two different things, and there is a process in between. In this process, first of all, he had to kill many people, and most of them were the people of the Great Song Dynasty. ”
Qin Mu solemnly pointed out the essence of the problem.
Fang Haoyin seemed to be a little incomprehensible and a little angry. Rebellion, can't you eat and drink if you don't kill people?
"Okay, then I'll put it another way, your father wants to lead his subordinates to eat enough, so he went to rob it, but not the people in the whole world are not full, at least the people in Bianliang City are very full. Isn't it? ”
Fang Haoyin had to nod and admit that what Qin Mu said was the truth. The people in Bianliang City not only ate enough, but also ate very well.
"Then your father can't lead the people of Bianliang City to rebel, right?"
"Yes." Fang Haoyin replied in a small voice.
"In these places that your father has laid down, all the people can't survive, so even if there is no your father, if someone else takes the lead, the people will follow. At this time, they were only faced with a small number of court officers and soldiers. Hundreds or thousands of people faced tens of thousands of people, and naturally the officers and soldiers could not defeat them. ”
Fang Haoyin nodded. Before she came to Bianliang City, Fang La had already had an incident, and Qin Mu said it as if he had seen it with his own eyes, which was indeed the case at that time.
Fang La ascended to the top and shouted, and the servants gathered, like a wildfire, sweeping through the surrounding cities.
"Now that your father has hit Hangzhou, I don't know if he has taken Hangzhou, but there is one fact that cannot be changed, that is, he will eventually meet people who can eat enough and live the next life, and these people are not a minority. Now your father's enemies are not hundreds or thousands of officers and soldiers, but also many people who can eat. It was getting harder and harder for him to win. ”
Speaking of later generations, Huashigang is the culprit of the Great Song Dynasty, but in fact, the Great Song Dynasty is not the later generations, and there is no transportation infrastructure extending in all directions. The vitality of the Great Song Dynasty lies in several key rivers. The flower stone class is a disaster, that is, on the edge of these rivers.
Farther away, how can he transport it even if he grabs it?
In fact, the place where the disaster is the deepest must be chaotic, but the bandits of the Great Song Dynasty are mostly in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. There is no big mess in the northwest and northwest of Sichuan.
Jiangsu and Zhejiang are the hardest hit areas of Huashigang, and it is also the reason for the emergence of Fangla here.
Fang La's final territory is part of Zhejiang and Anhui, and if the world is in chaos, he will naturally not be trapped here.
"Did you think of that?" Qin Mu saw that Fang Haoyin didn't speak, knowing that she might understand a little, so he continued: "When your father can grab everything he can, and the rest of the places can't be grabbed, and you want to sit down and become the emperor, then he will find that he also has to establish a system." Otherwise, the people under his rule don't even need money, and they will rob whatever they like, so is it still interesting for him to be the emperor? ”
Fang Haoyin understood that Qin Mu was saving face for him.
If according to what Qin Mu said, the people under his father's rule robbed whatever they saw, wouldn't this be a bandit. It's not even as good as bandits, bandits can't rely on robbing everything, those people in Liangshan will still buy things if they rob money, otherwise why rob money, can't they rob everything.
"Now your father is not capable of establishing a system, he has to move on, he must not stop, as long as he stops, it is the beginning of failure. But one day he won't be able to take the city, and he won't be able to grab food and money, so what will your father do? ”
"What will he do?" Fang Haoyin didn't know what Fang La would do if he reached this point.
"Where he's going to come from, where he's going to come back." This is not Qin Mu's nonsense, Fang La's history is basically like this. Although it did not return to the place where the incident occurred, it was not far away. In short, it was the nest he felt safe.
Qin Mu has played a lot of games, and he often sees such a situation. After one side occupies the absolute advantage, the other side can only stay in the spring, and cannot even get out of the house, watching the enemy develop more and more powerful, and his own side sits and waits for death.
Fang La is like this, once he loses, he has to run to the place where he feels safe. Where is the safest? Naturally, it's a nest.
I know it's death, but I haven't died right away, and it seems that I can expect to delay it and wait for a miracle. As a result, without exception, there are no miracles in the world.
"Brother-in-law, what should I do then?" Fang Haoyin was anxious. She thought that the world was so chaotic that Fang La would easily overthrow the old Zhao family and become the emperor herself as long as she had something to do. But after traveling in the past few days, and seeing the scene of living and working in Bianliang City, she has long lost that optimism.
Now that she heard Qin Mu's earth-shattering words, she realized that her father was about to be the emperor, and he couldn't even save his life.
All hope is in this man, he is so capable, he must help me!
