Chapter XXXVII

"Equality." Yeluzhao can guarantee that this is definitely not the first time he has heard these two words in his life, but there has never been a time when the sound in his ears like this is like thunder.

This is not the equality of all beings as stated by Buddhism, nor is it the equivalence of creation in the Crucifixion, but in the real world, people agree with each other, and everyone is born equal, no matter whose blood they have, what kind of head they have, and what kind of eyes they have.

"How is this possible?" Almost instinctively, Yeluzhao wanted to refute this fallacy and heresy, there is no high or low, the world must be in chaos, and the person who puts forward this point of view, if not an idiot, must be a madman, from ancient times to the present, no dynasty, any ethnic group, can not do it.

However, at the same time, there was a voice in his heart stubbornly telling him, there is nothing wrong with this, there is no willingness to be born inferior, and no one wants to be slaves and slaves forever, if there is really such a day, it is only their knowledge, ability and conduct that determines whether people can be respected, not whose species they belong to, what kind of people belong to, whether the Khitan people establish a country or not, what difference there is.

If we take 10,000 steps back, even if half of this "fallacy and heresy" can be fulfilled, the land under our feet will become completely different from the original.

At that time, the children of the Mongols, Khitans, Han and Miao people could ride horses together, play songs together, read and write together, and be close to each other as brothers, instead of hating each other, enslaving each other, killing each other, needlessly dying on the battlefield one after another, becoming a corpse in the Wuding River.

At that time, no matter where he went on a boat to do business, he could say his surname generously and look up into the eyes of others, whether the color of their pupils was pitch black, yellow-brown or the same dark gray as his own.

At that time, every Khitan did not have to be forcibly conscripted into the army, go tens of thousands of miles away to fight for the suzerain, and die, and they could not understand what this kind of battle meant to their hometown fathers.

Then

"Ahh Suddenly, Yeluzhao raised his head, howled like a wolf in his mouth, and then shook his head vigorously a few times, and ran forward.

"This is a fallacy and heresy, a fallacy and heresy, Zhu Fozi deliberately asked his subordinates to tell Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu can't be fooled." While running, he warned himself, no matter what, don't believe this kind of rhetoric, Zhu Fozi was born in a red turban thief, and the red turban thief is best at demagoguery, although Yu Tingyu is a Mongolian, but he has long become a devout disciple of Zhu Fozi, so he can't believe a word that comes out of his mouth.

"Papapa, pa, pa." There was a sound of neat footsteps behind him, entangled with Yeluzhao like a ghost, Yu Tingyu followed, and brought more than a dozen elites of the Huai'an army, they didn't say more than half a word, however, they used practical actions to clearly tell him that it was too late to regret it now.

Yelu Zhao didn't have the courage to repent, even if he was confused at the moment, he didn't dare to overturn what he had promised, for Huai'an Jun, his help was not the only choice, and for the Yelu family, whether he could catch the line of Zhu Fozi, the ending was completely different.

"Shopkeeper." "Okay." Several men from the trading house rushed out, stretched out their hands to support Yeluzhao, panicked, from morning to now, they had been waiting for the result of the negotiation between their shopkeeper and Zhu butcher, but they did not expect to see the former flee back in such a dejected state.

"Zhao Si, prepare, prepare clothes, one hundred and sixty sets of clothes worn by the guys, first pick them from our own people, if it's not enough, go outside to buy it, quickly, within a quarter of an hour, you must be ready to stop." Standing in the midst of his own people, Yeluzhao finally regained a little energy, and while bending down and gasping for breath, he commanded eagerly.

"Shopkeeper, them." The big guy Zhao Si hesitated to agree, and looked at Yu Tingyu and the others who took the initiative to stop not far away, with a wary face.

"If you want to go, go quickly, don't ask if you shouldn't." Yeluzhao let out a rude roar, and then exhaled a long breath, equality, bullshit, if Lao Tzu does not have the identity of the shopkeeper, why should his subordinates listen to Lao Tzu, the surname Zhu must have drunk too much, so he said such nonsensical words, yes, Yu Tingyu also said just now, these words were said to him by Zhu Butcher after he was drunk.

Thinking of this, Ye Luzhao finally got his mind out of the chaos and began to assign tasks to the guys, "Wang San, Xu Liu, you two go and inform the Hu tent room, count the goods this afternoon, start loading the ship every day, before leaving, hand over the account book and manifest to the Municipal Trade Bureau for inspection, and pay the tax according to one out of ten." ”

"Liu Yishou, Su Laoqi, the two of you are responsible for notifying several other firms, you are willing to go with us, sail out of Hong Kong in seven days, and go to the Huai'an Army to solve the tax problem clearly before leaving, don't procrastinate, you can't leave when the time comes, Lao Tzu will definitely not wait for anyone."

"Xiao Lizi, Zhang Gouyu, you two follow Da Liu, go to the dock in the afternoon, and claim our boats back, the old men of the Huai'an Army said, whoever it should be is who's, they won't take anyone's things, if you see the ownerless ship, you also take the initiative to remind the old men of the Huai'an Army, don't let the ship and goods are soaked in the water, and waste things in vain."

"Xu Yu, Zheng Erbao"

He was a veteran who had been immersed in maritime trade for many years, and once he turned his mind back to his profession, he became more and more calm, and after a while, he became back to the original big shopkeeper with a big heart in his heart, and arranged the affairs of the business in an orderly manner.

There are several other colleagues who do maritime trade around, and they have been probing around to find out the direction of the wind, and when Zhang's warehouse, which has the deepest roots in Jiaozhou City, is ready to take the lead in pumping water to the Huai'an Army, and quickly put away those unrealistic ideas, organize their own tents and men, and prepare to follow suit.

Of course, there will definitely be people who will do tricks on the ledger and the list of goods, in order to get by, and there will definitely be people who will try to bribe the tax collectors sent out by the Huai'an army, hoping that the latter can turn a blind eye, and these traditional tricks may be popular for a long time in the future, but for all the maritime merchants in Jiaozhou City, the good days of not even reporting in the past, loading the goods and sailing directly away must be gone, this natural deep-water port, starting from today, Together with the three places of Huaiyang, it has completely entered a new era, and even many people in the city are still full of resistance, doubt and confusion.

As the nominal line of the maritime merchants, Yelu Zhao had no time and no ability to control the specific internal operations of the other firms under his command, and after settling his own internal affairs as quickly as possible, he took a few henchmen and men, in the name of the labor army, picked up the clothes he had temporarily collected, and quickly returned to the chief manager's office.

With more than 30 years of rich life experience within the family and in the shopping mall, after experiencing the initial chaos and confusion, he has completely expelled the heresy that broke into his heart about "all men are created equal", but he represents his family, and stands more firmly with the Huai'an army, if Zhu Chongjiu's nonsense is destined to fail, the Yelu family just takes the opportunity to replace it, and in case, of course, this possibility does not exist at all, just in case, The surname Zhu has done the thing, what harm is there to the Yelu family, instead of blocking his way and being hit to pieces by him, it is better to stand on the shore and watch him on the cusp of the limelight, and sink and float.

Zhu Chongjiu saw that he acted neatly, and he also reciprocated, and directly ordered someone to unload two six-pound guns in service from the battleship, put them into wooden boxes, and sent them to the cargo ship of Yelu's family.

Thanks to Yeluzhao, an old horse who knows the way, when formulating the marching plan in advance, the staff officer avoided the places close to the state and county and the inspection department as much as possible, and gave emergency measures for all kinds of sudden situations that may be encountered, so along the way, everyone walked extremely smoothly, basically did not encounter any harassment, and occasionally there were one or two "short-lived ghosts" who did not open their eyes, and they were also killed by the experienced Huai'an army scouts, and no one had a chance to pass on the warning.

On the afternoon of the first day, they had traveled forty miles, and on the morning of the second day they had traveled fifty miles, and by the afternoon of the third day, the army had already crossed the Weishui, and unknowingly came to a place called Guojiatun, twenty-five miles upstream of the destination.

Zhu Chongjiu immediately ordered his soldiers to rest on the spot, eat the dry food and fresh water they brought with them, and make the final preparations before the sneak attack, while Yu Tingyu took a group of carefully selected warriors and began to change their borrowed clothes, preparing to blend into the enemy camp in advance.

Looking at the energetic appearance of everyone, Yeluzhao couldn't help but be confused in his heart, and quietly pulled Yu Tonghai, who was closest to him, and asked in a low voice, "Do you have to go today, I have walked more than 120 miles in a day and a half. (Note 1)

"Nonsense, one more day of delay, the enemy will be more vigilant." Yu Tonghai glanced at him unceremoniously, and continued to put the borrowed man's clothes on his body, "The ancients can't believe what they said, he said that if you travel fifty miles a day, the brothers will lose half of it, you go back and count, our Huai'an army has only fallen behind a few in total." ”

"Oh, indeed, the grass people are confused." Yeluzhao turned his head to look at the neat and tidy ranks of the Huai'an Army, and made a sudden realization, "Do you Huai'an Army often walk such a long way, I mean, I mean in ordinary training, do you also walk like this." ”

"This is short, and I don't know how many times I have practiced a hundred miles of rapid marching a day." Yu Tonghai glanced at him again, his face full of pride.

"Sure enough, it's an elite division." When Yelu heard this, he immediately stroked his palms and sighed.

Unexpectedly, Yu Tonghai didn't eat him at all, rolled his eyelids, and said disdainfully: "What is this, you are really rare and strange, the chief manager of my family said that there was an iron army that once braved the heavy rain, marched more than 200 miles day and night, and then beat the enemy who blocked the way. ”
