"What are you afraid of? What are you afraid of? What are you afraid of? What are you afraid of? ……”

Seeing that the time was almost up, Zhuangzi waved his arms under the podium and shouted loudly.

"What are you afraid of? Unafraid! Unafraid! What are you afraid of? Unafraid! ”

Under Zhuangzi's loud shout, everyone under the podium stopped talking and looked at the podium with expectant eyes, waiting for Zhuangzi to give his reasons.

"We have tens of thousands of troops! What are we afraid of? You say, "What are we afraid of?" Zhuangzi waved his arms under the podium and shouted confidently.

There was silence under the podium, and then there was a suspicious discussion.

"Tens of thousands of troops? Where do we have tens of thousands of troops? Our Song Kingdom, the entire country only has tens of thousands of elite soldiers? Here in our lacquer garden, where are tens of thousands of troops? ”

"Where are tens of thousands of troops? Our entire lacquer garden, if we organize all the people who can fight, it will definitely not exceed 10,000 troops. Yes absolutely! And! Not yet an elite soldier! If you train into elite soldiers, you will have 3,000 elite soldiers in the sky. A middle-aged man who understands the military side said.

Another middle-aged man took over the conversation and said, "Yes! I think too! Our Qiyuan Dingtian can train about 3,000 elite soldiers. But? Who wants to be a soldier? Isn't it? ”

"We just didn't have a way to organize and confront the government. Fight! Where can it be organized? ”

"Tens of thousands of troops? Yes? On the other side, someone said, "Yes, yes!" It's just that! But they can't fight? They are women, children and the elderly, and people with disabilities! What are these people for? ”

"It's also our paint garden here, densely populated, if you change to other places, such a big place, where are there many people? How many people do we have in the Song Kingdom? Isn't it? ”

"That's it! It is! Although the area of our Song Kingdom is very large, the population of our Song Kingdom really does not dare to compliment! In particular, the places between the Song State and the surrounding vassal states, and the places bordering the Chu State, the Wei State, the Korean State, and the Qi State, are all deserted, and there are few families for dozens or hundreds of miles. Where is it like our lacquer garden, the population is so dense, so many, there are tens of thousands of people! ”

"It's almost 50,000 people, right?"

"Fifty thousand?"

"I'll tell you!" A person lowered his voice and said mysteriously: "Here in our Qiyuan, there are more than 60,000 people!" ”

"Sixty thousand?"

"How is that possible?"

"!"

"Liar!"

"You are responsible for what you say! If this word spreads, there are 60,000 people in our lacquer garden, then! Next year, the Song State will recruit at least 3,000 soldiers! You? You are responsible for what you say! You? When the time comes, Qiyuan won't be able to hand over so many people, you? Pull you to the top! ”

"That's it! It is! The question of population is no joke! With a large population, the Song Kingdom is about to come and raise taxes for us! You? ”

"That's it! It is! ”

"Why not?" The man who said that Qiyuan had a population of 60,000 still lowered his voice and insisted: "Have you inquired?" Which of our Qiyuan people does not have one or two children living in their home country? Do you dare to say no? ”

"This?"

"Don't say two per household, can you average one, right?" The person who said that the lacquer garden has a population of 60,000 counted.

"Where is it? How many households do we have in the lacquer garden, and there are 10,000 households? Someone retorted.

"Nope! But! I'm talking about every family and every generation? Do you calculate? One or two people in each generation have returned to their mother country, or lived in other princely countries, haven't they? Does it add up to 60,000? ”

"According to your calculation, I said that there are 100,000 people in the lacquer garden! Do you believe it or not? ”

"Hahaha!"

The crowd burst out laughing!

Suddenly! 60,000 people, become a joke.

Zhuangzi looked under the podium and listened. When the people were almost finished, he pressed his hands down and motioned for everyone to stop.

"As many people as there are in our lacquer garden, there are as many troops! Do you believe it or not? ”

Without waiting for the people under the podium to answer, Zhuangzi explained: "According to common sense, according to the saying of soldiers, if we train elite soldiers, we can train thousands of elite soldiers in the sky, and about 3,000 in the sky. But! We are not soldiers! We are Taoists! Taoism rules the world, everyone is a soldier! All are soldiers! ”

"All soldiers?"

"Everybody's a soldier?"

"You Taoist rule the world, how can you be a soldier for all the people?"

"That's it! It is! Where did all the people come from? ”

The people under the podium began to talk about the whole people being soldiers.

When the argument under the podium was almost over, Zhuangzi pressed his hands down again, signaling everyone to stop arguing and listen to his explanation!

"Why isn't it that all the people are soldiers?" Zhuangzi asked, "Is it?" Don't you protect your family? Are your families just looking for their own lives and running for their lives? Protect your fathers and your elders, your husbands, your wives, your children's descendants.

Your fathers and elders will protect you, and in order to protect you, they will also participate in the battle! They can't just watch you fight your enemies!

Your spouses, they will not flee for their lives without regard for their husbands and wives, their fathers and mothers, their elders, their children and their offspring. They'll just take up arms and fight, just like you! Your sons and daughters will not watch their parents, elders, brothers and sisters fight against the enemy, they will also participate in the battle!

This is all soldiers! ……”

"That?"

Before Zhuangzi's explanation was finished, a dogmatist from the podium shouted loudly and criticized Zhuangzi. Asked: "Can they take part in the battle, little ones?" Can babies take part in combat? ”

"Yes! Oh, yes! ”

Behind! Another group of people started to laugh. Think! How can it be that all people are soldiers? Not only babies and children are not allowed to participate in battles, but also many adults are not allowed to participate in battles.

"How can a sick person participate in a battle?"

"How can a woman who has just given birth participate in the battle?"

"How can a dying man participate in the battle?"

"How can someone who is too old to move participate in a battle?"

"How can a cowardly man take part in a battle?"

"That's it! How can it be said that all the people are soldiers? ”

“……”

Everyone was heckling and saying that this one can't fight, and that can't fight. So! It can't be said that all people are soldiers! There are tens of thousands of troops in Qiyuan, and there are tens of thousands of troops, which is non-existent.

Seeing that it was almost over, Zhuangzi smiled at the people who were coaxing under the podium: "I said yes!" And! Stronger than tens of thousands of troops in the army! The power of the people is invincible! Our young and strong men are in battle! And those who could not participate in the battle, their hearts had already been thrown into the battle. They bless and pray in their hearts for their loved ones, may they be safe, and may they overcome the enemy soon. Our children, although they cannot participate in the battle now, but! They remembered hatred! Future! They will have a fight, and they will take revenge! Revenge for the death of a loved one......"
