Chapter 729: Playing with the Question
If these recruits were really killed in the prison, who knows what the High Immortal would do in a fit of rage? Wang Chengen, who was so anxious, couldn't take care of it anymore, so he hurriedly ran into the prison to save people. & {}. {}.}
Wang Chengen is here, and this matter can be regarded as a temporary end. The lord of Shuntianfu, who could no longer control himself, was immediately stripped of his official uniform and arrested, and the brocade guards who rushed over with Wang Chengen quickly threw him into the prison. As for the servants and officials, none of them ran away, and they were all arrested as well.
Wang Chengen originally wanted to send these new army sergeants to the Tai Hospital for treatment. But after thinking about it, he sent them all directly to the new army outside the city. Wang Chengen, who had gone north with this army, knew that the medical technology in the new army was even more powerful than that of the Tai Hospital. The living dead, flesh and bones, are no problem.
Wang Wu and the others were sent back to the barracks for treatment, and their lives were finally saved anyway. The large army that was ready to go also returned to the barracks. The lord of Shuntianfu, his servants and those servants were all arrested, waiting for a tragic fate. The old fritters in Beijing also returned to their barracks after watching the excitement. The children of the powerful who were beaten in vain for no reason all died down after learning that the people behind the new army were the national teachers who swept outside the Guan, and they all died down. It looks as if this is the end of the matter. However, only two days later, Gao Yang, who came back from time to time, returned to the time and space at the end of the Ming Dynasty.
......
"How does it feel?" In the medical area where the new army barracks were filled with the smell of disinfectant water, Gao Yang, who looked indifferent, came to the cultivation area of the sergeants who had been served by the torture.
Looking at these soldiers who were wrapped in brand-new bandages, lying or lying on their stomachs, with a bad complexion on their faces. He waved his hand, stopping them from panicking and wanting to get out of bed to salute. Asked softly.
"Words of the National Division." After all, his physical condition is good, and after careful treatment, Wang Wu, who has already looked better, reluctantly straightened up and knelt down on the bed. Hang your head. In a low voice, he said, "We've disgraced the new army." "The strong army that swept through the Peerless Region was actually arrested and put in prison and beaten severely. This is indeed a loss of face for this strong army.
Gao Yang chuckled and shook his head, pinched his chin and said, "It's normal to lose when your strength is insufficient. There's nothing to be ashamed of here. And, after all, you persevered to the end. That's enough. ”
Gao Yang's words made the faces of these injured sergeants obviously have relaxed expressions. They were indeed afraid that Gao Yang would be furious because of this incident. After all, for the manager, the incompetence of his subordinates is a great humiliation.
"How are you going to solve this problem?" Gao Yang came to Wang Wu's bed, lowered his head slightly, looked at him coldly and asked.
"Country, national teacher." was stared at by Gao Yang's eyes, and an inexplicable pressure came to his face. Wang Wu, who came from a humble background, instinctively lowered his head and did not dare to look at Gao Yang. His body swayed slightly, and his mouth opened. He muttered, "That dog man is dead, what else is there to say about this?" It should be over, right? ”
"It's over?" Gao Yang bent the corners of his mouth, narrowed his eyes, and sneered, "No, you are wrong." It's not over yet, it's just the beginning! ”
......
After more than 200 years of evolution, the Ming Empire at this time was already dying like a candle in the wind. This ancient and vast empire is now completely rotten inside and out, like an apple that has begun to rot.
The external manifestation is that there are natural disasters in the territory. The Manchu Mongol cavalry was eyeing the empire from beyond the nine sides, ready to bring down the empire once and for all. Internally, there are officials**, the social order is close to collapse, and the morale of the army and the people is completely lost. The whole country is lifeless. It's like waiting to die.
Although Gao Yang's arrival is no less than a big dose of cardiotonic for this empire. The powerful army intimidated Li Zicheng's army, and went north to the pass to destroy the largest foreign invasion of the Manchurian and Mongolian army. Temporarily relieved the pain of this ancient empire. However, the deadly internal dark wounds have not changed in the slightest.
Almost the economic lifeblood of the entire country is in the hands of the literati and doctors. The rampant ravages of the rogue completely destroyed the only large source of tax revenue for the imperial court, Tian Fu. The imperial court and the royal family had no income. The whole country is gradually losing control.
And officials at all levels, whether civil officials or military generals. But at this time, it is still worse than the other. The territory is full of displaced people, and a large number of people are starving to death every day. Many places are openly selling human rou!
When the ordinary people, who are the cornerstones of the country, live worse than die. The literati doctor group is still chanting poems and singing about wine! Ordinary people are completely numb in the face of foreign invasions, because they have reached the point where they cannot choose how they want to die. The ruling class, on the other hand, has no shame but only knows how to surrender. It is strange that such a country will not perish in the midst of internal and external troubles.
Gao Yang is determined to use this New Army incident to make a big deal and deal a hard blow to the moths that parasitize this empire. Give this country, this nation a way to live again.
"What are you going to do?" Origin asked, confused.
"Of course, it's to make a big deal out of it." Gao Yang pursed his lips and said with a smile.
"Can you be more detailed?" The origin was obviously a little dissatisfied.
"Huh." Gao Yang chuckled, shook his wrist, and said, "I want to clean up those powerful people." Their presence is already a serious morbid for this empire. If you don't solve them, it's useless for the army to fight well outside. The internal rot will continue until the empire can no longer hold on. I can't stay here forever. ”
"Didn't you want Li Zicheng to make a knife and help you do these things? In order to give him hands-on time, he deliberately wants to go back to modern time and space to take a vacation? Why do you want to be on your own again now? Yuan asked puzzled.
"Isn't that a chance?" Gao Yang said with a smile: "They took the initiative to hand the knife to me, if I don't do it, won't I live up to the kindness of others?" Besides, Li Zicheng, the powerful people in the Beijing Division, probably has no chance to make a move. Emperor Chongzhen can't do it, so I can only come by myself. ”
"That's true." The origin is smashed, and the mouth is smashed, and he said, "It's obvious that people have suffered losses, but you have to use this as a reason to attack them." Do you think that's a good idea? Juvenile? ”
Gao Yang pursed the corners of his mouth and looked out the window at the clear blue sky that was as pure as a bright canopy of sky, which had not been polluted by modern industry. He whispered to himself, "In front of the interests of the country, in front of the vital interests of the vast majority of people." I'd rather sacrifice these powerful people in exchange for a better life for the vast majority of them! ”
“...... You are also a cold person at heart. Yuan Dian said softly.
"Don't talk nonsense." Gao Yang rubbed his eyebrows and said in a low voice, "What kind of choice will you make in which position." I am now the national teacher of the Ming Empire, and I want to change the fate of this empire and earn energy points for myself. I am responsible for the future of this country. Getting rid of the parasites that will drag down the country is a very normal option. Many people want to do it, but they don't have the opportunity. ”
"And what are you going to do?" Origin continued to ask.
Gao Yang left the window and sat down in front of his large and luxurious bookcase. Picked up the teacup and took a sip, stared at the fresh and tender vegetable leaves in the teacup with his eyes, bent the corners of his mouth and said softly, "Do you know that the status of those tea pickers in Jiangnan is very low, and many people are not even willing to marry these women when they marry concubines?" ”
“...... What the hell are you talking about? Why does thinking jump so fast? Is that what we're talking about? Origin said completely depressed. He didn't understand why Gao Yang suddenly talked about the tea picker, was it because he was drinking tea just now? That's too funny, isn't it?
"I mean it very simply." Gao Yang put down the teacup, his eyes became more serious, and his voice began to deepen. waved his hand and said in a low voice, "The status of these tea pickers is low, but they are also higher than the status of soldiers!" In this era, people regarded soldiers as Hanako and despised them. Whatever the reasons. The most fundamental reason is that the country has been at peace for a long time, and everyone has forgotten the dignity of the army. ”
"You want to improve the status of the military?" The origin reacted quickly.
Gao Yang smiled and nodded. Take out a cigarette and light it. "Not just to raise the status, but to turn the country into a military state similar to Prussia. The expansion continues until the entire planet is brought under its umbrella. ”
"If that time comes, the army without an opponent should go and fight itself, right?" Yuan said with a grin.
Gao Yang cocked his legs and spat out smoke rings. He chuckled and said, "Then I don't care." You can't have to do everything alone, can you? Naturally, the future will be solved by smart people at that time. I'll do what I'm doing now. ”
Snuff out your cigarette and stand up. Gao Yang tidied up his clothes and walked towards the door: "It's time to enter the palace and meet His Majesty the Emperor." ”
"You ask him for help? Those magnates are all his helpers in ruling this empire. Do you think they'll agree? Yuan asked softly.
"It doesn't matter if you agree or not." Gao Yang got dressed, shook his head and said, "I didn't ask him for help, I just informed him." I'm in charge of the empire for the time being, and he just needs to do his job. I'll do something else for him, do it well. By the time I leave, he will be left with a strong, rich country! ”
"I hope His Majesty the Emperor can understand." Origin said with a smile.
"Whether you can understand it or not, you have to accept it. Otherwise I wouldn't mind having his son ascend the throne early. Gao Yang walked out of the door, narrowed his eyes, and said softly, "For the benefit of the vast majority of people, including mine." No one is indispensable. (To be continued.) )
