Chapter 24 Preparation (Part II)

"Sure enough, it was the victor who wrote history!" Zhu Chongjiu glanced at Liu Bowen, and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Liu Bowen's words were very courageous, however, Zhu Chongjiu did not dare to agree. History is not a prostitute to be dressed up, but a faithful record of human activity in the world. The victor can falsify history for a while, but it cannot be tampered with forever.

Therefore, although after the victory of Meng Yuan, he desperately preached that "Yidi enters China, then China", and desperately preached his own merits of "mixing the north and the south", just seventy years later, there will still be Han men who remember their atrocities and lead everyone to rise up to repay blood debts.

Therefore, although the number of Chinese literary prisons in the Qing Dynasty in another time and space is unparalleled, just two hundred years later, there will still be people who remember the ten days of Yangzhou and the three massacres of Jiading, and some people will still ask, at the end of the Ming Dynasty, there were less than 100 million Dingkou, how did Zhang Xianzhong slaughter 60,000 in Sichuan?

And the further human beings develop, the faster the information spreads, and the stronger the judgment, the more they can poke the lies written in ink in the genealogy of the twenty-four surnames. And those who try to tamper with history, no matter what banner they are fighting, are destined to become a joke of history together with the lies they carefully weave, and they will be ashamed for thousands of years!

"Weichen means that the expulsion of the Tartars is a matter of merit. Even if the intermediate means are violent, it is a helpless move, and it will not damage the reputation of the lord! Being laughed at by Zhu Chongjiu, Liu Bowen hurriedly grinned and quickly added.

What he learned was imperial art, and he only asked about the result, not the means and process. Therefore, as long as the north can be quickly pacified, how many people are killed is not considered at all. If he can bring peace with killing, he doesn't care about using the methods he just used in Quanzhou to use them all over the places he passes. Anyway, the set of decrees that Huaiyang is currently pursuing will definitely not get the support of those big families. Kill all the big families in the north directly, and just splash ink on the white paper!

It's just that Zhu Chongjiu is obviously not willing to give the answer he gave. The corners of his mouth curled, and he continued to sneer and said: "Yes, as long as it is successful, even if it is bloody, it will eventually fall into the reputation of a saintly virtue and divine merit and a civil and military emperor." As for you and me, why bother with him! ”

Emperor Wenwu of Shengde Shengong is the name of Kublai Khan, the ancestor of the Yuan dynasty. In order to pat the sycophants of the rulers in the Yuan Dynasty, the corrupt Confucians deliberately reversed black and white to praise him for his martial arts of killing tens of millions of people. Liu Bowen, as a leader among scholars, is of course clear about the origin and connotation of the nickname. But the latter sentence "After we die, who cares about the flood" comes from Zhu Dapeng's memory, which is far beyond the scope of allusions that Liu Bowen knows. This person was slightly stunned when he heard it, and then, his pale face quickly began to turn black. (Note 1) "The lord, Weichen is the privy deputy envoy of Huaiyang!" Gently taking half a step back, Liu Bowen bowed and said. What the minister is planning is how to ensure that the lord quickly smashes Huanglong and calms the world. And not how to live people. That's what the lord and the prime minister are worried about, and the ministers are humble and humble, and I am afraid they can't reach it! ”

"I knew you would say that!" Zhu Chongjiu smiled again and shook his head slightly. If you just stand in Zhu Laofu's time and space, Liu Bowen's plan is beyond reproach. The people of this era were originally more barbaric than the era in which Zhu Dapeng lived hundreds of years later, and sometimes they didn't take their own lives seriously, let alone the life and death of others?

And Liu Bowen's defense is not completely ignored. He is the chief of the general staff of the Huai'an Army, and of course he has to think about how to save the strength of the Huai'an Army and save the lives of his own soldiers, instead of thinking about other things from a higher perspective.

It's just that there are some things that Liu Bowen can not consider, but Zhu Chongjiu himself cannot. After all, a part of his soul came from a time and space hundreds of years later, and it was impossible for him to be unaffected by the morals and ideas of that time. Therefore, without waiting for Liu Bowen to continue to defend himself, he also smiled and took half a step back, solemnly saluting, "But if Zhu wants to ask Mr. to try to avoid unnecessary killing when planning the Northern Expedition strategy, Mr. can teach me a good strategy?" Before Hama went to sea, there was a word given to Zhu that if my Huai'an army wants to gain a firm foothold in Dadu, the key is the Han people in the north, not the Mongols. Since he is of the same clan, Zhu hopes to kill less, so he can kill less! ”

This is already a request, not a reproach. Since Liu Bowen is a courtier, how can he refuse? After thinking about it again and again, he finally let out a long sigh, "The Lord is benevolent, it really makes Berwyn ashamed!" However, in ancient times, how could there be the possibility of immortals? Moreover, the livelihood of the people in the north is ten times more difficult than that of Huaiyang a few years ago. Almost all of the land is concentrated in the families of the wealthy. Local officials, in all likelihood, are also from the wang clan! ”

The ideal is the ideal, and the reality is the reality. has been following Zhu Chongjiu for so long, Liu Bowen has long figured out the temper and mentality of his father-in-law. Otherwise, he would not have deliberately deceived Zhu Chongjiu a few days ago, and would not have explained his true intention of sending Chen Youding to take over Quanzhou. But the reality in the north is like this, since you Zhu Chongjiu want "the common people and the cultivators have their land", it is impossible for you not to move the interests of the big families. Since you, Zhu Chongjiu, insist that the gentry pay grain together with the people, it is equivalent to cutting off most of the privileges of the rich. How can those gentry and wealthy families whose interests have been damaged not rebel against you? Even if the army is dormant for the time being, as soon as the army leaves, the opportunity will rise immediately! And once the two sides make a move, the result is either to kill or be killed, where will the Huai'an army have a third choice?

"According to Fu Youde's performance yesterday, the cavalry brigade has gained a lot in Quanzhou City." He also knew that his request was too unrealistic, Zhu Chongjiu thought about it and added in a low voice, "Chen Youding also has a separate book, and he copied a huge amount of gold, silver, pearls and jade from the Pu family, which is equivalent to more than one million." Request to send a ship to Yangzhou! ”

Chen Youding finished killing people's hearts, so he took out a large amount of money to invite credit. Zhu Chongjiu originally didn't plan to accept it. And now, since Chen Youding's crime cannot be investigated, this money should not be in vain for the Governor's Mansion.

Suddenly, there are millions of extra gold and silver, and if they are all distributed to the soldiers as rewards, and then circulated to the market, it will definitely have a huge impact on Huaiyang's economy. It is better to take out the vast majority of them and buy the land from the northern tycoons, so as to ease the conflict between the two sides and reduce unnecessary killings.

"The lord will be the benevolent monarch of the ages!" When Liu Bowen heard this, he once again gave Zhu Chongjiu a serious salute. "However, millions of dollars may not be enough. Moreover, many people do not care about money, but about their right to rule the world with the king! ”
