Chapter 16 I have also read history
After chatting a few words, Ye Qiushui suddenly changed the topic and said to the old shopkeeper: "I don't know who was galloping on the street just now!" Running like this on the street in broad daylight, they are not afraid of hurting people? ”
The old shopkeeper said: "Don't talk about hurting people, no one dares to say anything even if they kill people on this street, and those who are killed can only deserve to be unlucky." ”
Ye Qiushui said: "Do they care about the yamen so domineering?" ”
The old shopkeeper smiled bitterly: "Yamen? In this capital, which yamen dares to care about them? If you report to the yamen today, tomorrow the whole family will be slaughtered. ”
Ye Qiushui said: "Then who are they?" ”
The old shopkeeper said: "The people you saw just now are all King Kang's subordinates!" ”
Ye Qiushui said puzzledly: "King Kang? Why have I never heard that we still have a King Kang in Daming? ”
The old shopkeeper said: "Don't talk about you foreigners, even people like me who grew up in this capital have only recently heard of this King Kang, this King Kang was originally just an ordinary royal family, and he didn't have any real power, but since he worshiped under Wei Zhongxian and became Wei Zhongxian's godson, he began to make a fortune." Since the beginning of this King Kang, he has begun to help Wei Zhongxian with all his heart, often in the name of catching the party, looting the people's fat and people's ointment, and they will be killed if they resist the slightest, so now as long as they see King Kang's horse team in this city, everyone is hiding far away. ”
Ye Qiushui said: "If they do this, don't they care if they live today?" ”
The old shopkeeper said: "Tube! How can it not be done! No, just the day before yesterday, this King Kang was rewarded by the Lord of Long Live for his meritorious service in destroying the chaotic party. ”
Ye Qiushui sighed and said, "I originally thought that the capital was a paradise!" I still want to take a meritorious test, and mix an official and a half-position in this capital, but now it seems that this fame is not examined. ”
The old shopkeeper said: "I see that your character in this future life is not bad, I will tell you the truth, if you really want to mix an official and a half-position in this capital, I am afraid that it is not enough to only get famous, if there is no strong backer, even if you take the test, there will be no one day to get ahead, unless you can get the appreciation of nine thousand years old, or I advise you to go home early and live a peaceful life." ”
Ye Qiushui said: "Thank you for the old man's advice, the younger generation has been taught, seeing that it is not too early to see that day, we should also find an inn to stay, so we won't bother." ”
After coming out of the pawnshop, according to Ye Qiushui's meaning, he wanted to find an inn to live in first, but at Xiang Luyang's strong request, several people turned around again, and after finding the location of King Kang's mansion, they found an inn nearby to stay.
After a simple tidying up of the room, Xiang Luyang and the others came to Ye Qiushui's room.
Xiang Luyang was the first to ask, "What are you going to do next?" ”
Ye Qiushui smiled and said, "Haven't you thought it all through?" Shall we act tonight or wait? ”
Xiang Luyang said: "Do you know what I'm going to do? ”
Ye Qiushui said: "When the old shopkeeper talked about what King Kang did, I saw a flash of light in your eyes, do you say I don't know what you want to do?" ”
At this time, Luo Tianwu next to him asked, "What did you two say, why did you confuse me." ”
After Ye Qiushui told Luo Tianwu and the others about the news he heard from the old shopkeeper in the pawnshop today, Luo Tianwu and the others were also very angry, and when they learned that Xiang Luyang was going to attack King Kang's Mansion tonight, everyone was excited for a while.
Xiang Luyang said: "Let's have a good night's rest here today, and then formulate an action plan after we get acquainted with the terrain around King Kang's Mansion during the day tomorrow." ”
Ye Qiushui said: "That's okay, everyone is tired of tossing this day, let's get here today first, and then find out the situation tomorrow." ”
Early the next morning, everyone had a simple breakfast, and then went out separately to observe the terrain, Xiang Luyang and Ye Qiushui were in a group, and the remaining four people were divided into two groups.
After coming out of the inn, Ye Qiushui looked at the refugees on the street and said to Xiang Luyang: "Why are there so many more people here overnight?" ”
Xiang Luyang said: "The southwest corner of the entire city has been destroyed, the west and south have also been affected, and the north is where the palace is located, if they don't come here, they can go there!" ”
While the two were walking, children came to beg from time to time, but Ye Qiushui bought some steamed buns at the steamed bun shop on the street and distributed them to these children.
Looking at Ye Qiushui, who was wiping his sweat while handing out steamed buns, Xiang Luyang said: "If you do this, I'm afraid you will cause trouble!" ”
Ye Qiushui said puzzledly: "Who will trouble me if I do good deeds?" If they don't do it themselves, won't they let me do it? ”
Xiang Luyang said: "That's not what I'm talking about. ”
While the two were talking, the people who had taken refuge on the street knew that someone had distributed steamed buns here, and they all rushed here, and for a while, the two of them and the steamed bun shop behind them were surrounded by refugees.
Seeing that these refugees surrounded their shops, the boss hurriedly packed up his things and prepared to close the door. Seeing the boss doing this, Ye Qiushui asked puzzledly, "What are you doing here?" ”
The boss said: "Son, I don't object to you doing good deeds, but don't implicate me, I'm a small business, the money you gave is only enough for the steamed buns just now, and now these people don't know the truth and think I'm making steamed buns, if you leave in a while, they can't get the steamed buns, and they will grab them." ”
Ye Qiushui waved his hand to signal the boss to stop, and then said to him: "You start steaming steamed buns now, how much you can steam and how much you can steam is all mine." As he spoke, he threw twenty taels of silver directly to the boss, and the boss took the silver and said with a smile: "Childe is really a good person, I will arrange for someone to steam steamed buns." ”
After coming out of the crowd, Ye Qiushui said: "These people are really good, not to mention homeless, they can't even eat a full meal." ”
Xiang Luyang said: "Don't worry, they will be fine, it won't be long before someone will take care of them." ”
Ye Qiushui said: "How do you know that someone will take care of them?" ”
Xiang Luyang said: "The Apocalypse explosion only said that more than 20,000 people were killed and injured, not how many people starved to death after the explosion. ”
"If I'm not mistaken, the history of the Ming Dynasty should be written by the people of the Qing Dynasty, if you think that the people of the Qing Dynasty wrote the history of the Ming Dynasty, they will definitely not record the historical facts very objectively, at least they will not exaggerate the benefits of the Ming Dynasty, they will definitely reduce the merits, and then magnify them, so that the people in power will not be held accountable for the people who wrote the history books, so if there is such a thing as starvation and death after the Apocalypse explosion, I think the history of the Ming Dynasty will definitely be greatly exaggerated."
Ye Qiushui said: "I can't see it, you are a person who goes to a military academy, and you still know a lot about history." ”
Xiang Luyang said: "Taking history as a mirror is not only about governing the country, but also about war. ”
