Chapter XXVIII

Hearing the news of Yang Bo's promotion again, the depression in Huang Taiji's heart can be imagined.

Huang Taiji pondered for a moment, summoned Fan Wencheng, and asked him to find a Nikan who looked similar to the first-class guard Aobai, and cut off the head for backup, Fan Wencheng didn't dare to ask more, and hurriedly went to handle it.

In a solitary cell in Fuzhou, Lao Cannon looked at the guards with some astonishment and sent them in with something on a wooden plate, and lifted the red cloth, inside was a hideous head!

The old cannon laughed, and Huang Taiji walked in surrounded by everyone......

Waiting for the chairs draped in bear skin to be brought to the left and right, Huang Taiji waved his hand, and everyone left, leaving only Huang Taiji and Lao Pao looking at each other through the iron railing.

"I came with sincerity this time, and I just want to ask you one question." Huang Taiji stretched out a finger and said gently.

The old cannon was stunned for a moment, and smiled: "Ask, Tartar Emperor, although the head you sent doesn't look very much like the head of Zhenyi, but since my old cannon has words first, he won't take it seriously, I declare first, there are some things you don't expect me to tell you." ”

Huang Taiji shook his head and said: "I won't make it difficult for you, I'm afraid you don't know yet, I sent an envoy a few days ago, and I am discussing peace talks with your lords, I will share southern Liaoning with Yang Bo, and share peace, and you captives will soon be put back, I will only ask one word this time, is it possible for you Lord Yang to submit to my Houjin?" ”

Hearing this, the old cannon couldn't help scratching his head and asked, "How can my family make peace with the Tartars?" ”

Huang Taiji smiled and said, "I won't depreciate my identity and deceive you with big words, what good will it do me to deceive you?" ”

The old cannon thought for a moment. Suddenly smiled: "Emperor Tartar, I'm afraid you didn't get any bargains, right?" Otherwise, you won't come back and try to trick me. ”

Huang Taiji snorted. Didn't speak.

Lao Pao thought for a while, shook his head and said: "Emperor Tartar, you don't have to be delusional, my family will never return to the Tartar slaves." ”

Huang Taiji was slightly disappointed on his face, and asked, "Why do your adults hate me Houjin so much?" After I ascended the throne, I worked hard, although the Ming Kingdom repeatedly bullied me, but I couldn't bear to kill too much. Even issued a strict decree, no matter whether I am the Eight Banners or the Han Chinese, if the law is violated, it will be treated equally. Severe punishment is not slack, as long as the Ming generals who are willing to surrender will be properly settled, such as the original Tong Yangxing, Shi Guozhu. Kong Youde et al. There are also more than 1,000 people from Zu Dashou, who have just joined the service, I regard them as brothers, and I am in the same hall as Zhubeile, and I have worked hard to promote the integration of the Manchu and Han dynasties, improve the situation of the Han people in Liaodong, learn the Han Chinese language, set up six departments according to your system, and recruit Han talents on a large scale. Chinese cultural and martial arts. For thousands of years, I yearn for it. I even planned to read the book of China and emulate the Chinese etiquette system, but unfortunately your family turned out to be that kind of pedantic character, but it was in vain that I wasted all my hard work......"

Huang Taiji rarely said this thought on weekdays, I don't know why, but he calmly explained it in the face of the old cannon, but Huang Taiji looked up, but saw the mocking look on the old cannon's face.

"Emperor Tartar, you are wrong"

Lao Cannon shook his head, and said with some disapproval: "No matter how high-sounding you say, but you are still essentially uncivilized tribal slavery, although the Ming Kingdom is decaying and so bad, it seems that you are outstanding in force, but our lord once said that you have emerged in bloody violence, and will eventually perish in bloody violence, there is absolutely no second way!" ”

"Slavery, what is slavery?"

Huang Taiji was slightly surprised, Yang Bo was angry at Hou Jin's evaluation, and he was a little novel, this rhetoric was not at all like the clichΓ©s that the Ming State said before that was not related to the lord of China, and what was the king of the king.

The old cannon nodded and said solemnly: "That's right, your system is five points to put it bluntly; One, slaves had no land; Second, the property of slaves comes from the distribution of slave owners;

Third, slaves did not have the right to participate in political affairs; Fourth, the slave must love the slave master and not betray it; 5. Slaves have the duty to defend their owners......"

Huang Taiji opened his mouth, the coating system implemented by Houjin now is indeed like this, but no one has summarized it in such detail like Yang Bo.

"Your hierarchical society can only be built on poverty and ignorance, and only those who are tired of livelihood and ignorance will not think of rebelling against totalitarianism, because they are struggling on the verge of death, Emperor Tartar, are you right?" The old cannon asked

Huang Taiji was a little hesitant, and wanted to shake his head but nodded involuntarily: "Not bad"

Lao Pao suggested with bad intentions: "Emperor Tartar, I can give you a suggestion, you can kill the Xiucai and bachelors of your Wenguan and Hongwen Academy, like what Fan Wencheng came with that day, so that you Houjin will not have to worry about the resistance of the minions under your rule in the future." ”

"Oh?" Huang Taiji was greatly surprised, and asked repeatedly, "Why is this?" ”

"Those who have read the book will think that they will realize their situation and start to rebel, so if you want to maintain your rule, you should not spread knowledge, but belittle knowledge, kill those who spread knowledge, and rob all the land, food, and wealth of all the clothed minions, so that they can stay on the brink of hunger and cold, and when they are satisfied with a handful of rice and a mouthful of water, you can rest easy."

Huang Taiji just wanted to nod and realized that something was wrong, but he couldn't say anything to him, Huang Taiji thought about it, and retorted: "The Ming Kingdom oppressed and persecuted me, and occasionally killed very much, it was really not my wish, I had already issued a strict order after I ascended the throne, and those who plundered property were beheaded and executed, and you lords were too deeply deceived by others, and you didn't know me, but you are here for no reason to speculate, as if my Dajin Han people live in water and fire, don't you make people laugh off their big teeth......"

The old cannon shook his head with a smile: "If the robber is a person, the robbed thing is called stolen goods, and if the robber is a group of people and robs a lot of things, it is still called stolen goods; But you are different, all of you are robbers, and the object of plunder is all the clothed minions under your rule that cannot escape, pay attention. Now it cannot be said that what you have stolen is stolen, but that you have an inexhaustible cornucopia. You call these things the property of the Eight Banners, and when you are evil enough, the so-called truth can be on your side, Emperor Tartar, is my lord right? ”

Huang Taiji involuntarily stood up, paced a few steps and sat down again, Yang Bo's words had already explained the essence of things. Some of them simply coincided with his ideas, taking the ruler's side, as long as it was beneficial for his rule. As long as this regime can be consolidated until thousands of generations, he will not care about other things, thinking of Yang Bo's mean words, Huang Taiji couldn't help but laugh dumbly. This is the difference between being a ruler and being governed. It doesn't matter how you do it, it turns out!

He almost wanted to praise these words, on the steppe, Genghis Khan did two things with a butcher's knife, one was to knock the opponent on the steppe to the eighteenth layer of hell, so that they would never have a chance to turn over; The second is to make the name Mongolia the only and immortal on the grassland, and from then on, the grassland will no longer rotate as in the past, and the Ming Kingdom will be decaying. Everyone understands that it will perish sooner or later, so can't he be the lord of China? But Huang Taiji knows. The population of Houjin and Baoyi is only a few hundred thousand, and the Eight Banners have more than 100,000 soldiers and horses, while the population of the land of China is 20,000, and there is still ......

At that time, scholars of Wenguan University, Xifu, Ganglin, etc., once offered a plan to say that the best way to maintain the rule of the Han people is to learn the Chinese system, wear Han clothes, learn Han etiquette, and speak the language of the Han people. ”

At that time, countless Han people in Liaodong were born in the Ming Kingdom, Xiucai instigated by the continuous rebellion against the rule of Dajin, the old Khan's solution was to hold high the butcher's knife, and as a result, the entire southern Liaoning was uninhabited, which seriously shook the foundation of Dajin's rule, and for these words of Yang Bo, Huang Taiji suddenly felt a sense of absurd confidant in his heart.

Although the old cannon looked at Huang Taiji with disdain, some joyful and sad expressions, Huang Taiji had the heart to say more, so he said with a pleasant face: "Yang Bo is a martial artist, he can't read big words and nonsense, and I don't laugh at him, although I am the barbarian emperor in your mouth, but I read poetry and books, throughout the Chinese dynasties, can there be a precedent for killing scholars and sitting firmly in the country?" The first emperor burned books and pit Confucianism II, the Song Dynasty ruled the world with scholars, inherited for hundreds of years, this is the report of China's thousand-year-old literary system, you adults don't even understand these things? ”

Huang Taiji shook his head deliberately and said continuously: "I still need to read, I still need to read......"

The old cannon sneered: "Emperor Tartar, you don't have to provoke, killing the scholars is just a delusion, there are thousands of scholars in the world, can you kill them cleanly?" What I said meant something else, although you keep saying that you don't want to kill scholars, but in fact there is no difference between killing them. ”

"Oh?" Huang Taiji thought about it carefully, and looked at the old cannon with some confusion.

"Slavery, as we have said, is the most poisonous form of slavery, it can hold all souls hostage, make those who join the system become distorted, violent, chaotic, and think according to a pattern unconsciously under long-term slavery, cut off their heads, rape their wives and daughters, dig their ancestral graves, take their land, tear down their houses, destroy their children and grandchildren, feed them poison, they endure, they are no different from untouchables, why be afraid? They are tame to rule, but they will never have any mercy when they open the knife to the innocent and weak, just like you, the Tartar emperor, only need to give a command, that Fan Wencheng will definitely kill all the Han people in his family, in order to please you, maybe he will slaughter all his wives and sons, and sacrifice their heads together......"

Huang Taiji laughed, his face was pale, but he said in his mouth: "I have listened to it for a long time and now I finally understand, it turns out that Yang Bo is in Cao Ying's heart and in Han, he seems to be talking about my Houjin, and what he is referring to is actually Mingguo, right?" Isn't Ming what kind of slavery you call it? The emperor of the Ming Kingdom was mediocre and incompetent, the civil and military officials were poor and extravagant, they were arrogant and arrogant, the officials were corrupt, they exploited too much, resulting in the starving people dying, desperate to take risks, the wealth of the people is the emperor's, in order to please the emperor, Yang Bo will not kill all of you family members? Perhaps he will slaughter all his wives and sons, and present their heads to the emperor as well......"

To Huang Taiji's surprise, Lao Pao actually nodded indifferently and said, "Emperor Tartar, you are right, Ming Guo is the same as you."

Huang Taiji sighed and said: "Old cannon hero, when you return to Lushun in the future, please bring a word to that Yang Bo for me, as long as he can let go of the opinion in his heart and surrender to my Dajin, I am willing to treat his brother and divide the world equally, if he has any request, as long as I can do it, I will promise him!" ”

Lao Pao laughed: "Emperor Tartar, I don't have to go back to Lushun to tell you now, my lord said that although the emperor of the Ming Kingdom and the hundred officials are rotten, they are still the emperor's family after all, and they are the most unfortunate to be overthrown by another Han regime, and you are different, if you steal the unification of China, you will exhaust all kinds of minerals underground, the rivers, streams, lakes and seas on the muddy ground, pollute the clouds and air in the sky, and lose the morality and belief formed by the Han people for thousands of years, there is no justice and morality, bandits are rampant and domineering, and the neighbors are silent, Money, power and butcher's knives are the totems you admire, kindness, honesty and blood are spurned, and all that remains is a group of selfish and insensitive minions, you are greedy to capture, emptied the wealth of my Han people, and even the mausoleums of the three emperors and five emperors are not spared, you also know, if you really can't hold it, where do you come from, where will you go back, you place your children and families in a safe place, you also know that you are Yidi, you are not Chinese, so you are unscrupulous tossing and squandering, you are like a swarm of locusts, After the gnawing is finished, only a piece of land with thousands of warehouses and holes is left for the Han people......"

Huang Taiji walked away with a blue face, and the old cannon continued to lie on the iron gate and said loudly: "...... And our task is to stop you, and as long as we are not dead, you will never see that day! (To be continued......)
