Chapter 509, The Future of the Zuo Family Army (4)
Zuo Mengeng made it to the dock in despair, and until now, he has not completely stabilized his mentality. To be honest, Zuo Mengeng is not a particularly ambitious person, as for his father Zuo Liangyu, although this person is a villain, he is not a hero with great ideals, and he is far inferior to Li Zicheng in this regard. Therefore, having a chance to go home and be a rich man was originally a good choice for Zuo Liangyu and others, but Zuo Mengeng was still instinctively unwilling. It is indeed unwilling. Maybe according to Zheng Sen, he and his father can indeed be rich men, but a person who is used to being a local bully and is accustomed to bullying people as the foundation of happiness can really adapt to the life of being an honest rich man? Besides, over the years, the Zuo family can be said to have done all the bad things, if there is no army in their hands, can they really be a rich man in peace? But if you want to say that you will turn your face with Zheng Sen immediately, Zuo Mengeng does not have such a decision.
Before getting on the boat, he suddenly remembered something, so he hurriedly said to Zheng Sen, who came to see him off: "Shizi, why do other military towns, such as Liaozhen, ......?"
Zheng Sen listened, smiled slightly and replied, "Because the location of Liao Town is different from yours. ”
Probably has been thinking about going down the river to the east to grab a hand, so this sentence, Zuo Mengeng immediately understood, the so-called "location is different", it means that they control Huguang, if they go down the river, the threat to Jiangnan is too great.
"Shizi, what if our army is willing to change places?" Zuo Mengeng asked again.
"Oh?" Zheng Sen looked at Zuo Mengeng with a smile and said, "Where is General Zuo's army going?" ”
Hearing that there seemed to be a way out of Zheng Sen's words, Zuo Mengeng hurriedly said, "I don't know where the imperial court plans to let us go?" ”
Zheng Sen didn't answer, but just asked: "Does Zuo Ping still want to be a long-term feudal town?" If General Zuo has this meaning, it's not impossible, it's just ......"
"Just what?" Zuo Mengeng hurriedly asked.
"In the Central Plains, it is categorically intolerable to the existence of feudal towns, even if it is the Guanning Army and the General Wu Army, it is impossible for them to stay in Liaodong for a long time in the future. The imperial court would not allow them to be both vassal towns and princes, and stay in such a crucial position. In the future, they will also change places. As for where to switch...... Hmm, have you read some of my books? Zheng Sen suddenly asked.
"Huh?" Zuo Mengeng shook his head blankly. He has read a little bit of books, but if you want to talk about the level, it is really right to go to Jia Mu's sentence in "Dream of Red Mansions", "What books you read, but they are just a few words that you need to recognize, not a blind man with open eyes". This general usually reads books, but the most are the kind of books that Lanling Xiaoxiaosheng has, those "serious books" that expound the subtleties and righteousness of the saints, but Zuo Mengeng doesn't read them, and he can't read them. Anyway, he doesn't plan to test his fame, but what is he doing with that kind of boring thing?
"Hehe, General Zuo is sometimes free, you can take a look. I have some thoughts about the feudal system in the Western Zhou Dynasty. In the future, Liaozhen is estimated to go to the farther borderlands. And if Liaozhen wants to have such a result, he must also make more meritorious contributions on the battlefield. Zheng Sen said.
……
"What do you mean by talking about the Zheng family?" Zuo Liangyu's body was not very comfortable for a while, and at this time he was half lying on the bed, coughing, and asked Zuo Mengeng like this.
"Daddy." Zuo Mengeng said, "I think the person surnamed Zheng is not a good person. They just want to blackmail the Son of Heaven to order the princes. What a pillar of the Ming Dynasty, it's just a living Cao Cao! "Zuo Mengeng hasn't read much, but he still knows the story of the Three Kingdoms. What's more, his father has a hobby, that is, listening to commentaries, so they all know the story of Cao Cao's coercion of the Son of Heaven to order the princes.
Zuo Liangyu shook his head and coughed violently again. After a long while, Zuo Liangyu gasped and said, "Give me the medicine." ”
"Daddy, that medicine can't be used more, it's poisonous." Zuo Mengeng said hesitantly.
"It's a medicine that is three parts poisonous, how can there be no poisonous medicine?" Zuo Liangyu said weakly, "You just have to bring it." ”
If you want to say that this medicine also came in from overseas through the Zheng family, it is a brown potion in a glass bottle, called what is a strong cough drop. There is also a very small cup next to the bottle. This potion tastes sweet and slightly bitter, but it is quite effective in treating coughs, and basically drinking a cup can stop coughing immediately. It's just that a piece of paper is pasted on this potion, which reads: "This medicine is poisonous, should not be used more, and the daily dosage should not exceed one cup; Continuous use should not exceed ten days. ”
Calculate that Zuo Liangyu had already used a cup this morning, so Zuo Mengeng was a little hesitant.
Seeing that his son was still a little hesitant, Zuo Liangyu asked again: "How long have we been feeding this thing to the dog, and how is the dog?" ”
"The dog has to drink a big bottle every day, has been fed for half a month, and now he is alive, but he likes to drink this, and every day when he sees someone take this bottle, he is so happy that he wagging his tail." Zuo Mengeng replied.
"Well, bring it." Zuo Liangyu said.
Zuo Mengeng got up, went to the red sandalwood shelf and took down the bottle, carefully got a cup, and then personally served Zuo Liangyu and drank it.
"Well, it's much more comfortable." Zuo Liangyu said, "What did you say just now?" ”
"The child said that the Zheng family wants to be Cao Cao and coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes." Zuo Menggeng said.
"What do you think our family should do?" Zuo Liangyu asked again.
"Children naturally listen to their fathers." Zuo Mengeng hurriedly said.
"Alas......" Zuo Liangyu sighed, and said after a while, "It's not okay to be a rich man, we can't be rich in our lives." We have offended too many people, and if we have no soldiers in our hands, although they want us to set an example and will not deliberately deal with us, but when the world is decided, they will not need us, and at that time, they are afraid that we will die without a place to bury. Therefore, this military power can not be let go easily. It's just that we can't directly confront them. Well, have you read the book mentioned by the prince of Anping? ”
"Daddy, as soon as the boy came back and reported it to you, he immediately asked people to look for these books, and invited some gentlemen to explain it. Shizi's book talks about the ancient feudal system, thinking that the sub-feudal system of the Zhou Dynasty also has merit. The important thing is to turn razing into a summer ......," Zuo Mengeng hurriedly replied.
"Wait, what's the drawing?" Zuo Liangyu asked.
"It is to turn Yi into Xia, that is, to educate and transform Yi people into Han Chinese. Then their land naturally became the land of the Han Chinese. The book said that the reason why the Zhou Dynasty had the Mandate of Heaven for 800 years was because it could constantly turn the territory of the Yi people into the territory of the Han people. ”
Zuo Liangyu listened, nodded and said, "It turns out that why is it to grab other people's territory." Those Yi people are all in remote places, and if they want to keep their military power, they will be banished to remote places. ”
