"Human nature, the most complicated thing in the world......"

Li Shi sighed, and all that was churning in his mind was the hustle and bustle of another plane.

"Why do I say that all these things are inferior to human nature? Because these dreams, righteousness, are all based on one thing: selfishness. ”

"Compared with the inferiority of human nature, there is another side of human nature, such as family affection, which is natural, and from this extends loyalty, dedication, and sacrifice, which can be classified as selflessness."

"There is no group of people who live in the world, and there are groups that are adults. It is also by gathering that talents have come from the ancient world step by step to the present. The bad and good of selfishness and selflessness are not judged by morality, but are measured by the interests of the group. ”

"People are selfish, the crowd has disputes, only then does the noble and the low, selfishness is the original cause of people to get rid of the group and oppress others, so it is said to be inferior. And human selflessness is the root of maintaining the group, so it is good. ”

"Confucianism says that human nature is inherently good, and Legalism says that human nature is inherently evil, and in comparison, selfishness is evil and selflessness is good."

"So is human nature good or evil?"

Looking at this goodness again, from the other side, there is also the idea of seeking the same, asking for the blessing of the race, asking for the blessing of others, and not wanting to be self-reliant, so asking for oneness, so the idea of oneness, and therefore the oneness of human nature, has itself set up its own scene. Confucianism says that human nature is inherently good, so it can be taught by them, while Legalism says that human nature is inherently evil, and can only be cut by law, all of which are seeking goodness. ”

Li Xian's eyes were far away, and the things he had experienced in this life for more than fifty years faintly flowed in his heart, and he picked up one of them: "But why do you seek good and get evil?" We all say that God punishes the heart without punishing the heart, and the human heart is the reflection of human nature, and it is good to be good and evil to be evil. Good and evil are selfish, but they are just instruments. Human nature should be based on the way of heaven, and we can measure the way of heaven with instruments, but we cannot say that what we measure is the way, which is the source. ”

Li Xian sighed: "Selflessness comes from the bloodline, such as the mother protects the parent, and the beasts also have, only people can get rid of the bloodline, and this selflessness should be applied to the ethnic group, the country, and the righteousness." Selfishness is the instinct of living beings, in a word, the weak eat the strong. But only man can get rid of beasts, approach heaven with wisdom and strength, and take the benefits of all things in heaven and earth. ”

Li Shi asked his grandchildren: "So the reason why the human world can continue to evolve, and even enter the present world, is it by selflessness or selfishness?" ”

In the classroom, small hands are raised high, and the answer seems to be self-explanatory.

Stretching between the mountains, you can vaguely see that the north and south peaks are covered with snow veils, a small river meanders, tossing and turning between the narrow gorges, until the north of the clouds and snow-capped mountains are clearly visible, almost like a majestic city in front of you, the small river also turns into a wide valley, and the eyes suddenly open up.

Small rivers, high mountains, white snow, and wild flowers blooming in the mountains in spring and summer, clustered with scattered houses in the valley, a small castle towers in it, close to the Tibetan style of white walls and yellow tiles are lined with green grasslands, there is a sense of unearthly cleanliness.

The picturesque scenery was tainted by the smoke and orange fireworks, and the peaceful place, which was like a paradise, was shrouded in the noise of gunfire.

Thimphu, the summer capital of Brookpa (Bhutan), the castle of Sintoka, the summer palace of Diba, is under siege by thousands of enemy troops. These soldiers are equipped with guns, clothes and even skin colors, and they are wearing a variety of flags, among which a red background and gold twin dragon flag are the most eye-catching.

On the outer wall of the castle, soldiers and even lamas dressed in yellow and red are resisting with bows and arrows and shotguns, but under the accurate and dense rain of bullets, the number of defenders is constantly decreasing, and there are even flowering bullets on the wall that explode into flames, throwing human bodies off the castle.

A loud bang shook everyone's feet, and then there was a thunderous cheer, and the terrible shouts that were mixed with it quickly disappeared like waves.

"Director-General, we have blown open the city gates, and the earth king is finished! The big guy is asking the general secretary to show me the way into the city! ”

…,

"The way? What's the other way? We are not officers and soldiers, so we can do whatever we want! However, the gold, silver and jewelry are all left, and we still have Fang Xianzun's part in this battle. Without his connections, without the gunpowder he sent, how could we destroy a country so easily? ”

On a hillside on the side of the castle, an old man sitting on a horse commanded his subordinates, and then looked at the castle, which had been sunk into the smoke and crowds, patted his knees, and laughed happily.

"Haha...... I really didn't expect that I, Zhou Kunlai, would actually raise troops to destroy the country and act as an immortal one! ”

The old man's name is Zhou Yiren, his real name is Zhou Kunlai, and the "Fang County Zun" he said in his mouth is Fang Zhongxiao, the current magistrate of Fangzhong County. The year before last, Brooke Badiba's Diba and his Zhou Kunlai turned their faces, raised troops to recruit and suppress, and chased all the way to Fangzhong County. Unexpectedly, Yinghua had conquered Tianzhu and the Delhi Emperor on whom Brukba relied had fallen.

The Anglo-Chinese Bangladeshi and even Tianzhu authorities had too many important tasks in their hands, and the Brook Baxing soldiers violated the border, insulting Tianwei, and then they were afraid to ask for forgiveness and begging for mercy. It's just a small matter of sesame seeds, and I don't have to worry about it at all. But Fang Zhongxiao felt that this was an opportunity to dredge up the relationship between the Bangladeshi authorities and win the right to ask for the crime by force.

The Yinghua ruling Tianzhu team is all from Bangladesh, and has colonized Bangladesh for many years, and the civil and military officials have all developed a royal domineering spirit. Brookeba, a small country, dared to offend Tianwei, it was not the pass that was receiving Tianzhu, and it would have sent a large army to crusade a long time ago. Now there is a sin in which the Lord himself goes to collect the debt, which is just right.

Besides, Bulukba was still nominally a vassal of the old China[1], and like Sikkim, Nepal and other places, it was not a country. The authorities are also debating the strategy of dealing with these forces, whether it is to collect or support, and let the vicious dogs bite first, which will have many benefits.

So Zhou Kunlai's "Snow Mountain Company" appeared like this, as a "military contractor", organized thousands of mercenaries, and easily defeated Brookpa's army, first breaking the royal capital Punakhazong, and then attacking the summer capital Thimpo.

Eradicating the "anti-British", supporting the "pro-British" to ascend to power, and obtaining war reparations are the tasks of the Snow Mountain Company. It is logical for Zhou Kunlai to take into account both public and private interests, and to transform this task into eradicating the "anti-Zhou faction" and supporting the "pro-Zhou faction", and at the same time seeking compensation for the Bangladeshi authorities and Fangzhong County, he also earns huge profits for himself.

Comparing hearts to hearts, Zhou Kunlai allowed the company's mercenaries to enter the castle and act at will, which is also a reason. Why are mercenaries willing to live a bloodthirsty life of licking knives, isn't the plan just burning, killing and looting? For this reason, Zhou Kunlai still looked down on those local officers among the mercenaries, and always thought about the righteousness of the saint and the heart of benevolence, which was really not as good as the Japanese, Koreans, Sikhs and even Gurkhas.

"By the way, call Kuroko over......"

Then Zhou Kunlai thought of something and felt that he should clean up the beginning.

A capable man in his thirties was brought over, Zhou Kunlai signaled his entourage to retreat, then leaned on crutches in one hand and supported his waist in the other, got up and paced back and forth, and after a while, he suddenly said: "Heizi, how will you repay An Guoyuan!?" ”

The man named Kuroko was startled and subconsciously wanted to touch his waist, but unfortunately, his short gun had been collected.

"Do you think I don't know that the Anguo Yuan has been staring at me? And you've been with me for three years, aren't you looking for something that will kill me? ”

Zhou Kunlai's eyes contained a deep understanding of the world: "Fortunately, your Jinyiwei is not the Jinyiwei of the Ming Dynasty, I, Zhou Kunlai, planted opium and trafficked people, and did bad things, but I didn't do it to the people, and I was harming outsiders." You can't find enough evidence to cure me. ”

Kuroko's pupils constricted, and he said lightly: "But now you connive at the mercenaries to burn and loot, the Anguo Yuan will no longer fight alone, as long as you join forces with the Eastern Courtyard, you will be deducted from the hat of being unkind and corrupt, and ruining my reputation of Yinghua, plus your previous bad things, it is not enough to kill you ten times!" Therefore now wilt thou put out my mouth? Aren't you afraid of sowing even greater woes? ”

…,

Zhou Kunlai laughed: "Fighting, how can you not die, since the army, there have been more than ten battles, you can live until now, I am deliberately taking care of you, but what, we are all Chinese, in this foreign land, there is always a favor, I called you here to give you a chance......

He stared at the sunspot coldly, and said in a deep voice: "Ten thousand taels, write a letter to me, how to deal with the Anguo Academy, you don't need me to teach you, you can follow me to continue to eat and drink spicy food, and there will be no disadvantage!" ”

Kuroko sneered: "Ten thousand taels, it's really generous......"

Then he laughed: "Zhou Kunlai, do you really think that I am from the Anguo Academy?" ”

It's Zhou Kunlai's turn to constrict, isn't it from An Guoyuan? If it's the Ministry of Military Intelligence, that's bad. But...... How could the Ministry of Military Intelligence be interested in itself, wasn't it all busy with the Persian and Ottoman business?

Heizi said again: "The Anguo Yuan has long been not interested in you, they are now staring at the descendants of the Uba gang of Uszang, I am a member of the Criminal Department, and I am a police officer of the Special Investigation Department of the Military Department of the Criminal Department." ”

Penal Department...... Zhou Kunlai chuckled, An Guoyuan was not afraid, he was still afraid of a small military department in the Criminal Department? The Anguo Yuan is well-known in the country, specializing in "Jingping Military and State Affairs", that is, investigating and handling rebellions, cults, traitors, and all major cases that endanger the national system and the general cause. Although the Military Department of the Criminal Department also has the name of "Militarization", it is a place to investigate and deal with such cases involving ordinary criminal cases, and in actual operation, affairs such as the Jianghu and the underworld that are not taken into account by the Anguo Yuan are all managed by the Military Department of the Criminal Department, and the power and energy levels of the two are too far apart.

Seeing Zhou Kunlai's contempt, Heizi was not annoyed, and continued: "If you dare to kill me, don't talk about you, your entire Zhou family and your Snow Mountain Company will be wiped out." Funny? No, you remember it, my name is Qin Bingyu, and my father is Qin Xinyi......"

When this name came out, Zhou Kunlai was really stunned.

Qin Xinyi, the waiter of the Criminal Department who has just stepped down. An official of this grade is nothing to Zhou Kun, and he has even stepped down.

However, Heizi obviously didn't use his father's official title to oppress people, what made Zhou Kunlai stunned was the origin of Qin Xinyi.

Qin Xinyi is very special, first of all, he is special in his name. The name was changed by him twenty years ago, when he was still called Nobuhide Kuroda and earlier called Rokubei Kuroda. Born in the lower level of the Satsuma Domain in Japan, before the Saying Rebellion, he served in the Yinghua Jiangnan camp. Later, a number of Japanese counterparts were integrated into the Shinsenku, which was in charge of the arrest of major cases. He made great contributions to the assassination of the emperor in Xi'an, became a naturalized Yinghua, and changed his name to Qin Xinyi.

The change to the surname Qin is derived from the Shimazu clan of the Satsuma Domain, claiming to be derived from the boys and girls sent by Qin Shi Huang to cross the sea to Dongying, and these ancestors all took the surname "Qin". Just like the fever of changing surnames in Japan in the past ten or twenty years, the concept of "Chinese", which originally existed only in the old world, has re-emerged, and the Japanese have changed their surnames to Han according to the origin of their ancestors.

The Qin of the Shimazu family was already the first Han surname among the Japanese, followed by "Qi", "Chu", "Lu", "Yan" and even "Yue", which were the names of the countries of the Warring States period. This craze for "tracing the Han dynasty back to the ancestors" was combined with the Tenjin-party movement that rebelled against the shogunate and demanded the establishment of the great righteousness of heaven in Japan, and was dismantling the thousand-year-old legacy of Japan's independence.

Of course, for Qin Xinyi and Qin Bingyu, father and son, the Japanese rebellion has nothing to do with them, they are now genuine Chinese, prodigal sons who have returned to their ancestors' big families. The heaven and earth in their hearts coincide with the Anglo-Chinese people.

Heizi, no, Qin Bingyu mentioned his father Qin Xinyi, and Zhou Kunlai changed color, not because of Qin Xinyi himself. Although Qin Xinren was born in the Japanese, he was able to be a squire of Yinghua, and his ability is self-evident. But for Zhou Kunlai, after all, the Criminal Department is only in charge of domestic affairs and criminal cases, and it has not had much to do with him, and what makes Zhou Kunlai really frightened is Qin Xinyi's boss.

…,

"Gan Shang Book...... Luckily? Did he send you? ”

It took a while for Zhou Kunlai to calm down, but when he asked out loud, his throat was extremely dry.

"Gan Shangshu has also stepped down, and now he is living at home for a long time, but he still holds the title of Hanlin Bachelor."

Qin Bingyu replied solemnly, Gan Shangshu is Gan Fengchi, who has been immersed in the arrest for decades, and has been promoted to the Shangshu of the Criminal Department. For Zhou Kunlai, Gan Fengchi is the only thing he fears in his life, and what he is most afraid of is that Gan Fengchi still remembers him. He met with the imperial concubine in Jiangnan in his early years and had a relationship, but he thought he was a small person, and the imperial concubine would not care about him, but Gan Fengchi was different......

Seeing that Zhou Kunlai's momentum dissipated instantly, Qin Bingyu smiled slightly: "As for me, although he was not sent by his old man, he knows about it." ”

Zhou Kunlai sat back on Ma Zha in a dejected manner, even if Qin Bingyu's words were false, he no longer wanted to clean up Qin Bingyu. When he escaped from Jiangnan, he just wanted to avoid Gan Fengchi and be free. Unexpectedly, even Tianzhu, which is thousands of miles away, has been included in the land of Huaxia, and he is over sixty years old, where else can he hide?

Suddenly changing his mind, Zhou Kunlai Huo Ran got up and forced his eyes to look at Qin Bingyu, his eyes were full of heat: "Half!" Heizi, no, police officer Qin, as long as you cover it up, I will let you half of the gold and silver obtained in the fort! ”

Qin Bingyu's eyes also flickered, but he shook his head and said, "If you still let those mercenaries burn and loot, the price I have to cover up is too high, even half of the gold and silver will not be able to protect my future." ”

Zhou Kunlai jumped up, forgetting that one of his legs was useless, and almost fell down, and after thanking Qin Bingyu who was holding him, he shouted at his subordinates in the distance at the top of his voice: "Hurry up and greet those rabbit cubs, enter the city and change the military law!" Military law for officers and soldiers! Who dares to mess around, I, Zhou Yiren, promise with my name that he will not only be sent to the official, but also don't want to earn this business again in this life! ”

The so-called military law of officers and men means that when they fight outside, they can rob openly, but they must not hurt anyone. At his beckon, the local officers with black faces changed their faces and hurried towards the city.

"That's it, right? Let's talk...... Cooperate? ”

"Cooperation? Yes, I'm with you for the sake of cooperation. Not now, though, but something else. ”

"Something else?"

"Brookeba, a radius of thousands of miles, there are only tens of thousands of people, just one county, it is not enough to be a hero. In the current world war, there are too many places where talent like you is needed. ”

Looking at Zhou Kunlai's pupils that tightened again, Qin Bingyu said in a low voice: "For example...... Persia. ”

Zhou Kunlai's forehead began to sweat: "You, aren't you from the Criminal Department?" ”

Qin Bingyu said with a smile: "I'm also working for Anguoyuan." ”

Zhou Kunlai frowned: "The Anguo Yuan doesn't care about foreign affairs?" ”

Qin Bingyu's voice was lowered: "The Ministry of Military Intelligence also paid me a salary. ”

Seeing that Zhou Kunlai was speechless, Qin Bingyu finally revealed the hole card: "Actually, my real owner is the Tongshuyuan." After the death of General Wu, the Western Regions Metropolitan Protectorate was not as strict in espionage as before, and the Tongshuyuan wanted to take another path and work hard in Persia and even the Ottomans, and you, Zhou Yiren, have the ability, fame, and ambition, and are suitable to pave such a road. ”

Zhou Kunlai's mind is in a daze, is this going to do something for the government? How can it be? For so many years, all he has sought is to be complacent, to part ways with Gan Fengchi, and even to escape from the mainland and open up another situation in Tianzhu, which is also due to such a difference in concept.

Even if Gan Fengchi can sit in a Shangshu and be a second-class master, he has never regretted it. How can you be happy to do things for the government? How can you call the wind and rain and do whatever you want?

But now, he still can't escape the big net of the government, can he refuse? Listening to Qin Bingyu's words, he realized that he had been able to live in Tianzhu for so many years because of the blessing of the government. The government had deliberately connived at them to do evil outside, and even fattened them. Now they need to do things for the government, and if they say no, the consequences are far from being as simple as "death without a place to be buried".

…,

Qin Bingyu patted Zhou Kunlai on the shoulder: "Half of it will be free, I only need thirty percent, don't put your eyes on such a small place." What kind of wealth will he be able to enter Persia one day? ”

Zhou Kunlai gasped for a moment and said resolutely: "!" ”

He had to do it, Qin Bingyu targeted him and asked him to secretly enter Persia, because he took a fancy to the network he had established by trafficking opium to Persia. Although the evening festival is not guaranteed, he is still reduced to an official eagle dog, but there is a big profit there, and he is no longer entangled.

"Police Qin, General Affairs Academy...... Why is it so powerful? ”

"It's a deed, and who wouldn't want it? The General Office is not as good as the army, and there is a military intelligence department that can do these dirty work, so I am looking for someone like you. ”

Zhou Kunlai asked casually, and Qin Bingyu also replied casually, but he said in his heart, I don't quite understand the twists and turns behind this, and people like you can't think clearly.

Just when Qin Bingyu and Zhou Kunlai had their own thoughts, and at the same time silently watched the fallen castle. In Delhi, 1,300 kilometers to the west, in the palace that was converted into the Tianzhu Metropolitan Protectorate, the Tianzhu Metropolitan Protector, the founding prince, and the general Jia Hao was reprimanding a person.

"I know what you have done, you have moved the Passage House in the middle of the country, and you have stirred up other nations with the help of the Chamber. You are talking about the affairs of the House of Representatives, and let them threaten Yuan Yingtai with their votes, and suppress the proposal of the two houses to inquire about the second ironclad steam fleet. You even directly supported the brave and built private troops to prepare for war. Now, you have come directly to me and asked me to submit a petition to the government council, to the two courts, and even to the emperor for an expedition to Persia. ”

Although Jia Hao is not as famous as Wu Ya, with a million heads, he has been in charge of the Tianzhu military and political affairs for many years, and the territory under his control is almost another dynasty compared to the old world, and the majesty he has cultivated is not something that ordinary people can bear. The other party was submissive, and kept making waves, so he almost knelt.

"Our Western company, in the matter of expanding land and competing for profits, is actually consistent with the imperial court and the interests of the capital......

The man defended in panic, Jia Hao snorted coldly, and suddenly shivered again. Although he is the head office of a Western company, the directors behind him are all giants in the country, but in the face of this, he can't afford to be upset at all.

"Whether I can fight Persia, when to fight, and how to fight is my job, and it is not your turn to intervene in Western companies! And how can this office be measured in money!? 300,000, hehe, you guts......"

What made Jia Hao almost angry was this incident, the general director of the Western company actually came to him with a silver ticket of 300,000 yuan, begging him to send troops to Persia as soon as possible, although the 300,000 yuan was nominally "donated" to Dadu Hu, but the essence of this act was touching Jia Hao's scales.

"While I can still suppress my anger, get out of here......"

The Western company was the first help for Yinghua to conquer Tianzhu, and the other party gave money in the name of "donation", and there was no name to punish the crime. Jia Hao could only reprimand once, and then drive people away.

When these words came out, the general manager of the Western company pouted his buttocks, obediently retreated, and when he arrived at the door, he was glared at by Jia Hao coldly, and quickly picked up the silver ticket of Yuesheng Bank on the table, wiped his sweat and went out of the door.

"This is really a great world......

After a long time, Jia Hao's anger dissipated and he sighed in a low voice.

"Fourth brother, when the foreign benefits are exhausted, what will happen to us in Huaxia?"

He frowned, letting the sorrow roll in his heart.

In Weiyang Palace, in the royal school, Li Xian nodded and said: "That's right, it is by relying on selfishness that people can turn all things in heaven and earth into benefits and push the continuous evolution of the world." For man, the external benefit lies in the nature of heaven and earth. ”
