Chapter 722: The Book of Despair (Part II)

Shen Mo believes that only by transcending the utilitarian heart of ordinary scholars and doctors, and completely standing in the perspective of the common people, can we jump out of the direction of "you live and die, and walk out of a new road."

In Shen Lian's view, the focus of the imperial court in solving the frontier problem was to cultivate both internally and externally, and internally it was necessary to rectify the guards, eradicate the tumor, and improve the combat effectiveness, so as to at least be able to resist the Mongol attack; At the same time, we should create relaxed living conditions for the people in the border areas, and treat the rebels in Bansheng equally, especially not to pursue the joint sitting, so as to increase the centripetal force of the people in the border areas, so that the Mongols will lose their ears and eyes and accomplices, and the harm to the Ming Dynasty will naturally be reduced. Shen Lian said that on the basis of the remarkable results achieved in the domestic policy, the Mongols will inevitably use humble language to seek good relations and contribute gifts to ask for mutual markets, and at this time, they should have an attitude of respect and appeasement, do not bully them, agree to their requests for mutual exchanges, and accept their gifts.

If we blindly refuse and treat them rudely, we can only intensify the contradictions between the two sides." The ruler of a country should not do something harmful and stupid because of a senseless struggle of will.

You must know that the fundamental purpose of our promise to the mutual market is not to get their cattle and horses, or even to eliminate the bait of war, but to hope that they will move closer to us and be on the same track as us. Honor our liturgical education.

If they are recruited with rituals and virtues and given them classics, then the Han family's rituals, rituals, rules and regulations, and political laws and regulations will be able to enter the grassland area that they have never reached, and make them sincerely follow. When the time comes, there is no need for a million troops and 100,000 iron horsemen, they will carry the pot and wait for the king's master, and they will be willing to surrender, which no number of soldiers and horses can do.

One one small one small one one small one heart one small one heart one one small one one small one

Shen Mo was very impressed by the teacher's opinion, but he was no longer the first time to arrive in your place, his eyes were black, and he didn't know much about anything, he was now a mature politician with rich political experience and a clear understanding of national affairs.

So he has his own opinion on anything, even the teacher's suicide note, and he will never blindly believe it. In Shen Mo's view, the teacher's view is definitely that of the Ge era, which is much more human and practical than those scholars and doctors' blind "Han shoes are not mutually compatible".

But frankly, the teacher's vision will never be realized until a fatal problem is solved.

Although it is a bit harsh, Shen Mo now believes more and more, "The will of the people, although this kind of thing, although sometimes it can overturn the river and the sea, change the dynasty, but most of the time, it is the fate of a country and a nation that is ethereal and powerless, in fact, it is controlled by a small number of people, and the choices of these people determine the way of survival and the direction of progress of the country and nation, as well as the fate of the majority of people."

Therefore, the silent gaze is not only on the civilian population, who make up the majority of the population, but also on the decisive few,,

First of all, most Mongolians wear fur hats, wear leather robes, and use felt wrapped horseback as a drapery, galloping like the wind and flying in the sky, above the grassland next door, this is their life and their faith.

Imagine if you ask them to wear a red dress and a black top hat, and restrict them with the cumbersome etiquette of the Central Plains, and teach them how to follow the etiquette and steps, it is like putting shackles on a free soul. It will inevitably make many people suffer from madness and torture, and it will be difficult for them to accept the etiquette of the Central Plains.

In the final analysis, Shen Mo does not have the kind of Shen Lian, the sincere pride in his own civilization, this is not to say that Shen Mo has no pride in Chinese civilization, in fact, he has an incomparable yearning and arrogance for the pre-Qin hundred schools, the Han and Tang dynasties, but the Chinese civilization has been stable at one stage for too long, and now it is extremely mature at the same time, it faintly exudes a decadent atmosphere. This was followed by a decrease in the centripetal force and attractiveness of the Chinese civilization, and the silence did not believe that the Mongols could be subjugated by the power of civilization alone.

Of course, he will not be presumptuous, because an extremely mature civilization like the Ming Dynasty has never lacked supporters" He believes that as long as the imperial court remains gentle and tolerant of Mongolia, there will be many nobles and commoners, bid farewell to the lifestyle of living in pursuit of water and grass, drinking butter tea, and eating milk, and move to comfortable houses in the interior, and the nobles will be accustomed to listening to the joy of "Ya" and "Shao", and the common people will not want to return to the nomadic herding of the wanderers.

But in that case, as Fang just said, the upper echelons who can really decide the fate of the people will feel great pain, because they will lose most of their power and glory in this revolution. So these people will still be very nostalgic for the nomadic life they used to do, which is the way they are familiar with the way they rule their people.

As a result, the stubborn and violent mood will stir again, and the Mongolian princes have taken off their Hanfu crowns, pulled up their long and wide sleeves, pulled out their impatient swords, and led their people back to the steppe to live the original life.

In the process, contradictions and conflicts will inevitably erupt frequently, and the good relations that have just been established between the two ethnic groups will be destroyed in an instant, and new and old hatreds will rise together, and they can only return to the original state of war and chaos.

Therefore, Shen Mo's point of view is that without the cooperation and approval of the Mongol rulers, the policy of assimilation of Huairou would not have been successful, and it was even more impossible to completely solve the border troubles in the northern frontier without bloodshed.

However, taking a step back, Shen Lian's plan is actually very feasible", because history has long proved that for nomads, the Central Plains civilization has a strong corrosiveness, and the hard-working and brave people they rely on for survival will be in the Central Plains civilization

Even if it has to be solved by force, it will also get the "Bian Zhuang Thorn Tiger." The same opportunity will surely succeed.

In the midst of his thoughts, before he knew it, it was bright outside, the snow had stopped, the guards began to cook, and Shen Mo also got up and moved his body, although he basically didn't sleep in the second half of the night, but his body was still about to freeze.

The guards rekindled the fire, boiled the leftover porridge from last night, soaked it in some specially ground meat powder, and had a makeshift breakfast, when God finally opened his eyes and let the sun out.

At this time, the opposite side also finished breakfast, began to pack up, and prepared to leave.

"Your Excellency, your decision is Tie Zhu asked in a low voice.

Shen Mo carefully folded the blanket and slowly shook his head and said, "Let them go."

"Do you want to send a few brothers to follow," Tiezhu's desire for battle feats was actually beyond many people's imagination. "No need," Shen Mo whispered, "I thought about it last night, so let's let them go." ”

"Yes" Although Tiezhu was unwilling, he still resolutely carried out the order.

At this time, those Mongols had packed up first, and were ready to set off, seizing the chaotic gap. The little beggar Ye'er got rid of his brother's clamps, came to Shen Mo, and said crisply: "Big brother, we are leaving." I'm here to say goodbye to you

Shen smiled and said, "We're going to leave too." "Although the time we spent together was short, he liked it. Shameful child.

Ye'er, who will write to you, said seriously: "Will you write back to me?"

"Of course". Shen Mo nodded and smiled: "I mean what I say."

"Then let's pull the hook". Ye'er stretched out her slender fingers and shook it in front of silence.

"Huh". Shen Mo shook his head and smiled: "Your brother will be unhappy when he sees it."

Following his gaze, Ye'er saw that his brother was about to eat people and glared at Shen Mu.

He didn't care about him, Ye'er pouted and said, "It's annoying to stare at people all day long." "Inadvertently. actually revealed a delicate little daughter.

"He's for your good." Shen Mo smiled slightly: "With such a cute and naughty sister, I'm afraid all my brothers will be like this."

"Ah," Ye'er opened her mouth slightly. A look of surprise said: "How do you know"

"When a man is touched on the shoulder, there will be such a big reaction? Shen Mo smiled, touched his earlobe and said, "Does the man have eyes here?" "In fact, there are still many flaws, for example, everyone else sits cross-legged on the ground, but this little beggar and another boy sit with their legs together and their knees crossed; Thinking of Mr. Na Xiao at the beginning, he said that there were female dependents in the hall, and it was not difficult to guess the gender of this little girl. "One one one small one small one one small one small one

Maybe it was because he was silently told through his identity The little beggar was a little flustered, and said incoherently: "Actually, I, that Jie" is coming" said and took out a letter from his arms and said: "Letter." By the way, I'm here to deliver the letter, this is Mr. Xiao's letter to the master brother. ”

Shen Mo took it, his eyes swept over the hall, but he didn't see Mr. Xiao's figure, Ye'er understood his thoughts, and said, "After Mr. Xiao instructed me to deliver the letter this morning, he left first."

Shen Mo nodded, and said in his heart, it seems that this is not a good thing, so that the surnamed Xiao escaped first for the sake of safety.

Thinking of this, he handed the letter back to Na Ye'er and said, "Look at what is written in it, when he said this, he scolded himself for being dirty,,

Ye'er obediently took the envelope and tore open the seal.

"Forget it" Looking at her big ignorant eyes, she sighed silently, reached out and pressed the envelope and said, "I'll do it."

Ye'er pouted strangely, and said that this person was really strange, but he still let go of his hand obediently.

Shen Mo took out the letter and unfolded it, and there were only four big characters on it: "Tianxin takes rice"

"Tianxin takes rice?" Ye'er leaned over her little head curiously, tilted her head and said, "What do you mean?"

It's a word game again, this Mr. Word Measurement is really a good friend, staring at the letter paper silently, silent for a long time, and then said leisurely: "War Book" is small

"What war book?" Ye'er's eyes widened and said, "Didn't you say you wanted to fight?" This unintentional remark once again made everyone in the hall stagnate, and the guards of the two sides, who were already nervous, suddenly became nervous again.

The young man with a fierce expression, who was Ye'er's elder brother, seemed to be fed up with repeated startles, holding the hilt of the knife in his backhand, striding over, and said with a murderous face: "What war book?."

His menacing appearance naturally aroused the vigilance of Tie Zhu and others, standing silently around without a trace, staring at him tightly, as long as there was a change, the formation that had been practiced thousands of times would be launched, protecting the adults at the same time, launching a deadly attack on the enemy.

The young man's guards were not ambiguous, and they were silent with a loud huh, and surrounded them. If you don't agree with each other, you immediately draw your sword and face each other.

"Brother, why are you always fierce" Ye'er twisted her brother dissatisfiedly and said: "You want to eat people, seeing that the two sides are about to fight, Ye'er feels that it is her responsibility to separate them."

Let her stir up like this, although her brother tried to keep his face black and pulled her behind him, his momentum was already exhausted, and he glared hard: "You, what kind of war book?" ”

Shen Mo didn't answer him, but threw his eyes far away, and there was an old magpie passing by outside the hall, and the sound of Jian staring at him was also faint: "Xiao Qin actually didn't go far?" ”

"Ah," said the young man, with his mouth wide open, "has he identified himself with you?" ”

Since he could recognize me, he said quietly, "Why can't I recognize him?" ”

This statement was very unreasonable, but it was very convincing, at least the young man believed it, and he swallowed and foamed, "How do you know that he is not gone?" ”

Because this silent shook the letter in his hand, and smiled at the young man: "He left this" a thing that can anger me, this guy who harbors evil intentions, wants to make us angry, and single-handedly plans such a fun thing, how can he go away and not see it? ”

The young man was confused by him, and his eyes straightened: "Why can this provoke you?"

"Do you know my identity" said silently, "And I said, this is a war letter?" ”

"Heaven, heart, take, rice, , although the young man Douda can't read a basket of words, but it just so happens that these four all recognize it, and after speaking, he scratched his head vigorously and said: "What do you mean?" Then he asked, "Do you know?" ”

His subordinates, in addition to the illiterate samurai, also had a coarse calligraphy, but none of them knew why, and no one could answer him.

"A bunch of." The young man scolded in a low voice.

"Heaven, it's God, God worship" While he wasn't paying attention, Ye'er jumped out again, and pointed out those words one by one: "Tianxin, either the heart of God, or the hinterland of the Celestial Empire, the latter is more like some, it should refer to the Central Plains and then point to "take rice." Said: "To take is to come and get it, rice is grain, and to take rice is to come to get food."

"Come to the Central Plains to get food" At this time, even her brother's intelligence understood the meaning of this sentence, and said in a lost voice: "Isn't it just going to the Central Plains to grab food?" As soon as this remark came out, it caused a burst of knowing laughter, and it was obvious that everyone was no stranger to this matter.

said silently: "Xiao Qin's intentions, do you understand?" ”

"He wants me to kill you," the young man said in a deep voice.

"What do you think will happen if you kill me?" Shen Mo smiled slightly.

"In this barren mountains and mountains, there are many of us, and the young people look indifferent, but their voices have involuntarily tightened: "Is anyone still aware of killing you?" As he spoke, he raised his chin and said, "How is it, are you afraid?" ”

"If I were afraid of you, would I make this letter public?" Shen Mo said calmly: "Without black bear bile, I don't dare to go up the snow mountain, that's what you said, right?" ”

"You" the young man's face was even more nervous, "Why? ”

Although he said it vaguely, Shen Mo still understood what he meant, and smiled, "Guess what?"

11111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111

The silence pretended to be profound, which made the young man's heart beat the drum vigorously, in fact, he didn't want to cause trouble in the first place, because this time he came out, it was really just to get the baby girl back. That's why I took such a few people deep into the enemy territory, which is still more than 200 miles away from the Great Wall, if you really kill the high-ranking officials of the Ming Dynasty, you can't fly out with such a few people.

"What do you want?" The young man changed his ways.

"The purpose of the surname Xiao's pretentiousness is to make us fight" Shen Mo said softly: "It's best if you kill me, and then be exterminated by the officials and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, so that he can not only avenge the original revenge, but also provoke the war again, and said with a mocking smile: "A poor traitor like him can only survive in the endless war between the two sides, and once he doesn't fight, he has no value in existence." ”

"I'm asking you what you want the young man gritted his teeth and said.

"I'm a person who is born with an aversion to being calculated by others" The smile on his silent face can melt the ice and snow all over the mountain, he gently pressed the right hand of the iron pillar, pressed his sword back into the sheath and said leisurely: "The more he wants me to kill you, the more I want to let you go back" said and waved his hand: "I haven't seen you, let's go." ”

"You're not going to send troops after us? In one sentence, the immaturity and lack of confidence of young people are fully revealed.

"No" Shen Mo shook his head and said: "It's still the same sentence, if I really want to be bad for you, why bother so much nonsense?" Isn't it the best choice to gather soldiers and horses silently? ”

The young man was about to bite his lower lip, and finally nodded: "Believe you for a while!" He waved his hand and said, "Let's go!" ”

"Wait!" An Mo raised his hand and said, "Take this back." ”

"What do you want this for" The young man saw that it was Xiao Qin's letter, and snorted: "Just tear it up." ”

This is my reply, and he smiled silently.

"Oh? The master brother also replied to these four words" Xiao Ye'er took it, tilted his head to look at it, and suddenly shouted: "Wow, it's different!" ”

I saw that Shen Mo didn't know when, and he used charcoal ash to add a simple stroke to each of the four words, and it turned into another four words: "If you don't dare to come to one"

One by one..."Split..."One by one..."

Explain, I'm not on anyone's side, I'm just an ordinary consumer, expressing the purest anger, I can't be stopped, and I'm not allowed to shout twice. ,! Just... Kouyang... 8。 0… The body clam of the fisherman book is not orange!
