Chapter 11 Attendance (Part 4)
"General Ding is patient for the time being, and when he finishes the promise of the lord that day, Liu will help you break the old thief's body into ten thousand pieces..."
Before the words fell, Fu Youde had already knelt down straight, "Thank you Liu for joining the army, if you can kill and escape, Fu will be repaid in the future..."
"General Fu, General Fu hurry up..."I didn't expect Fu Youde, who was silent before, to suddenly make such a fuss. Liu Bowen was taken aback. Hurriedly bent down and pulled hard, "It's all Liu's business." Even if you don't say this, for the sake of the lord's future, Liu will have to find a way to get rid of him..."
"It's a matter of duty for me to join the army, but for Fu, it's an enmity that doesn't share the sky..."
The Huai'an army has abolished the ritual of kneeling for a long time, so his behavior looks really weird, which provokes the surrounding sergeants to turn back. Liu Bowen was seen by everyone to see the sweat on his forehead, and then he remembered that Fu Youde used to be Zhao Jun's favorite general. It was because of that sudden flood that he was captured by the enemy. Although he was soon replaced by General Manager Zhu with Wang Baobao and other enemy generals, his previous great reputation was also lost. was even abandoned by the short-sighted Zhao Junyong, and was looked down upon everywhere. Fortunately, General Manager Zhu had the wisdom to invite him to join the Huai'an Army, so that this person could regain his strength.
Therefore, in Fu Youde's heart, the hatred for Tokhoff is definitely no less than that of Ding Dexing. It's just that he is a big-minded person, not as straightforward as Ding Dexing, so after receiving the task of serving as a guard, he forcibly suppressed his true thoughts.
Just as he was embarrassed, Zhu Chongjiu had already poked his head out of the captain's cabin. Seeing Fu Youde, Liu Bowen and the others in a pile, he couldn't help but ask curiously: "Berwin, what are the three of you doing?" Don't get stuck there, be careful of being hit and fall into the water..."
"Lord, I'll wait, I'll wait" Hearing this, the beads of sweat on Liu Bowen's forehead immediately doubled, arched his hand in a sneer, and explained loudly: "Enlighten the lord, I'll wait until I talk about it, the means of getting rid of it back then are too much." Since the embankment has burst and released water, Xuzhou, which has been in good shape, has become dilapidated..."
"How easy is it to expect foreign conquerors to treat you as a human being? Zhu Chongjiu saw this clearly, and explained the key in one sentence.
It's not that he's wise, it's just that in the memories of another time and space, I've seen too many similar things. When the Spanish conquered Central and South America, they directly slaughtered more than 23 million Indians. After the British arrived in North America, the policy of genocide was carried out even more thoroughly. The scalp of the Indians was bought at a high price, and even the women and children were clearly marked. However, most of these murderous demons are devout believers. He was polite to his fellow members of his family, and his face was full of compassion when he recited the scriptures, but when he turned his head, he immediately became fierce and vicious.
The reason is simple, in their eyes, their own people are human beings, and the vanquished are not regarded as the same kind at all... In the eyes of Toto, the soldiers and civilians of Xu Su are probably the same. They weren't treated as human beings at all, so there wasn't any psychological burden on killing.
Far away in the 21st century, Zhu Dapeng's time and space, because there were many people, either out of a moment of anger or for various purposes, who longed for the immediate destruction of their country and replaced the rule of a foreign race with a Bible in hand. At the same time, there are many sober people who clearly see the unreliability of these ideas. Fearing that his people would fall into the same fate as the Indians, he had to rise up and fight. The two forces have been arguing fiercely on the Internet all day long, and each other's views have been vividly expounded. So let Zhu Dapeng, an engineering otaku, be familiar with some of these words. Contrasting with the scene in front of him, he immediately blurted out without thinking...
It's just that this sentence is very simple to him, listening to Liu Bowen, a great Confucian who has studied the reincarnation of the five virtues for decades, and once regarded the Mengyuan court as the right thing in the world, but it was like a thunderbolt from the sky... I don't treat you as a human being at all, and this is the reason why Tokhtar did not hesitate to order someone to blow up the river embankment and flood millions of soldiers and civilians. Seventy or eighty years ago, the Mongols rose up and killed the people of Jin, Song, and Western Liao, for the same reason. In the eyes of the conquerors, the vanquished are not their kind at all...
"No wonder he always puts the word equality on his lips..."Looking at the whole world, there are only a handful of people who can do things like Liu Ji in their studies. When it comes to the agility of thinking, few people can beat it. Therefore, after the thunderbolt, many of the estrangements and confusions in my heart before disappeared. (Note 1)
Indeed, the gentry read more books than the common people, and generally had a longer perspective. Indeed, the strategy of ruling the world with scholars and doctors brought incomparable stability and prosperity to the two Song Dynasty. However, once conquered by foreigners, the so-called gentry, but the pigs and sheep raised by others in the pen, can be pulled out at any time to be slaughtered and eaten. And the scholars, where do you still have the courage to talk to the conquerors about co-governance or non-co-governance at this time? If you can make a tablet with a piece of cake, you have already decisively wagged your tail...
Immediately, Liu Bowen looked at Zhu Chongjiu, who was walking down the gangway again, and at the same time secretly adjusted his position in his heart. Going out of the mountain to assist Zhu Chongjiu is no longer a choice of last resort. It was a decision he should have made in his life. It may be as difficult as climbing to heaven to open peace for all generations. But fighting for the right to be equal for all generations is a top priority. Even if they regret not seeing the desired result in the end, at least, future generations will know that their ancestors fought so hard for this, and that their ancestors did not bow their noble heads.
"Let's go, it's windy on the river, be careful of catching a cold..."Zhu Chongjiu didn't know that his casual words could set off a monstrous wave in Liu Ji and Liu Bowen's hearts. Seeing that the other party continued to stand in place in a daze, he smiled and waved his arm and urged loudly.
"Weichen, thank you for reminding you..."Liu Ji suddenly came to his senses again, and made a long gesture at Zhu Chongjiu.
"Let's go, let's go, hurry up and go into the city, there are still many things to discuss with you..."Zhu Chongjiu smiled and waved his arm again, how do you look at it, how do you think Liu Ji's behavior today is so strange.
However, he is a rough man and does not like to inquire about other people's privacy. Therefore, although I feel that Liu Ji's situation today is wrong, I am not interested in getting to the bottom of it. He got down the gangway in three steps and jumped onto the trestle, but he was surrounded by a group of guards and went straight to the city gate.
Liu Ji, Fu Youde, and Ding Dexing Wenwu got off the boat from another gangway and followed closely behind. Everyone rested for a few days in the newly renovated mansion in Xuzhou City, and handled some official business by the way. On the morning of the eighth day, he finally received a detailed secret report from the Military Intelligence Department that Tokhtar had boarded a small boat in Rencheng and was heading towards the confluence of the Yellow River and the canal at night.
On the afternoon of the eighth day, the three masters of the boat gang, Chang Sanshi, also came to Xuzhou in person. When I saw Zhu Chongjiu, I exchanged a few words of greeting. Then he reminded very seriously, "The chief manager had better be careful, that Totoh and his subordinate Li Si are rare ruthless people." This time I came to meet, and I may not have the intention of fighting for a jade. The two of them died, and there was no loss to the court. But if the chief manager is hurt in the slightest, I am afraid it will be a catastrophe for Huaiyang and our boat gang at the moment..."
"Thank you Chang Gang Master..."casually, there are already a lot of estrangements between each other, Zhu Chongjiu still respects the big man in front of him who has given him great help. He arched his hand with a smile and said in a low voice: "Since I have promised before, now I have changed my words, as if I am afraid of him." I have five warships on my side, and even if the Meng Yuan Sailor kills them, he will be able to maneuver one or two. I don't believe that Na Tokh has any ability to turn over the river and the sea..."
"In terms of strength, it must be strong on your side, but it's better to be careful..."Listening to Zhu Chongjiu's arrogant words, Chang Sanshi nodded with a smile. Immediately, he quickly added. "I wanted to take the opportunity to give them a boat and come with me. In this way, if something unexpected is discovered, it can be remedied in time. Unexpectedly, Li Si didn't know where to get a light boat, and colluded with the Rencheng official mansion to send soldiers and horses to surround several rudders of the boat gang. So I can't get on his ship again, so I can only sneak over and send you a message first..."
"Being able to have these news is already the biggest help to Zhu's side..."Zhu Chongjiu arched his hand again and responded very seriously. If it weren't for the fact that the boat gang could provide timely information before, Zhu probably wouldn't have been so easy to force back Meng Yuan's hundreds of thousands of troops. Therefore, what your gang did for Huaiyang before, Zhu has ordered someone to secretly record it. When he finds an opportunity, he will definitely pay off..."
This sentence sounds like a philistine, but it gives the boat gang the most desperate thing, promise. Therefore, after Chang Sanshi heard this, his face immediately turned red with excitement, and his breathing was extremely short. It took a while before I finally calmed down again. took half a step back, and solemnly saluted Zhu Chongjiu again, "Boat gang, thank you for your kindness." This time I was really forced to be helpless, after all, I boat to help my children, and I all rely on this canal to make a living. Even if I want the Great Yuan Dynasty to fall immediately, I still don't have the courage to offend the government too hard..."
"Chang helps the master to see the outside... Why explain these things? After hearing this, Zhu Chongjiu continued to smile and wave his hand, "Whose family lives without their own difficulties?" If it is to protect Zhu and make your boat gang lose their way to live, it is short-sighted. Not only will it make Zhu feel uneasy, but if he wants to find someone to help find out the news from Meng Yuan's side in the future, I'm afraid he won't have such a suitable partner..."
As a human being, he has long learned not to regard any help as an obligation of others. For the Huai'an army, the boat gang is a very good partner. Neither side owes anyone anything, and it is impossible for one party to unconditionally sacrifice the other party to the end in order to fulfill one side.
This kind of attitude that the difference in strength between each other has been heaven and earth, but they still treat each other as equals, made Chang Sanshi more and more moved. At the same time, there is also a faint trace of regret in my heart. Back then, why did he suddenly lose the mind to assist Zhu Dudu? There was nothing wrong with what he did at that time. It's just that there are many differences with the master in my mind.
However, who knows what kind of life will be born of the real master? I've seen a lot of excerpts in the plays, but after all, that's the imagination of the plays, not the facts. Thinking of this, Chang Sanshi sighed silently in his heart. Then he slapped his head and said loudly: "I don't see the outside, I don't see the outside, it's Chang who is confused, and he treats Mr. Zhu as an ordinary person." Chang came over today, and there was one more thing, I wanted to ask Mr. Zhu to fulfill it. I just don't know if I should bring it up now? …”
Note 1: Liu Bowen not only had unique insights and strategies, but his articles were also very famous at that time. In the history of literature, Liu Ji, Song Lian and Gao Qi are known as the "three masters of poetry and literature in the early Ming Dynasty".
