Chapter 92: The Peasant Revolt in the Eyes of the Society Members (Part II)
After the afternoon meeting of the head office of the school, everyone went to the residence to repair. Wen Tianxiang and Li Hongjun were walking together, and Wen Tianxiang thanked Li Hongjun: "If it weren't for Li Shilang seeing my children's illness, I don't know what would have happened to them." ”
Li Hongjun smiled calmly: "I still learned this ability from Taiwei." The most feared thing on the ship is infectious diseases, and when something happens, it is a boatload of people. And if the patient is lucky enough to come across an island along the way, we will put him on it. If he's unlucky, he'll have to get off the ship and fend for himself. ”
Wen Tianxiang said very sincerely: "No matter what, it was Li Shilang who saw that my son and daughter were malaria...... and got off the boat?" When he first heard that he could only let the sick sailor get off the ship if he didn't encounter the island, Wen Tianxiang didn't fully react. Suddenly, he understood, what it means to get off the boat! That's just throwing it into the sea!
For such a tragic thing, Li Hongjun didn't have much emotion. In fact, when the order to abandon the sailors was first given, Li Hongjun also felt very painful and struggled in his heart. But after a lot of experience, he can't get used to it. No matter how pitiful the abandoned sailors are, a life is more valuable than the lives of a boatload of people.
Li Hongjun sighed: "At that time, it was necessary to save people. I killed a lot of people after following Taiwei Zhao, although they were all pirates and Mongols, so I had a clear conscience. But I still feel that people want to do good deeds and accumulate virtues, and they can help if they can. Besides, I also married Brother Wen, which shows that Hao Haoren has a good reward. ”
Although Wen Tianxiang has a fierce personality, he is not an unreasonable person. Li Hongjun saved his children, and Li Hongjun was also a very high-status cadre under Captain Zhao, and his son Li Yun made great achievements when he fought in Huaidong and other places. It is a good choice to marry the Li family. has this relationship, and he and Li Hongjun's dormitory are together.
Not long after returning to the dormitory, Li Hongjun's son Li Yun came running. As one of the members of the head office of the society, Li Yun also attended the meeting. Seeing his father, Li Yun hurriedly said: "Dad, I have carefully thought about what the captain said today, in fact, it is just how to use soldiers. In the past, when the captain used his troops, he emphasized that he would fight a war of annihilation, and it was better to cut off one of his fingers than to hurt his ten fingers. Therefore, as long as there is a war, it will be a sea of corpses and blood. If you don't want to kill more, you can fight a rout. Kill those who dare to rush to the front of the Mingjiao, and then cover up and kill, and defeat the Mingjiao army, and they will naturally go home separately. ”
Wen Tianxiang listened to Li Yun's narration, and his eyes lit up. What Taiwei Zhao asked for today was not to kill more. Wen Tianxiang also thought about it repeatedly, but he couldn't find a suitable method. Now that he finally got the concrete means of execution from the perspective of a military expert, he couldn't help but nod slightly.
After Li Yun finished speaking, Li Hongjun said flatly: "Even you can think of it, do you think that the Taiwei who taught you can't think of it?" ”
Li Yun was stunned. He found that he was completely unable to refute his father's words, and the commanders in the army all believed that the lieutenant's military attainments were superior to those of everyone else, and of course it was impossible not to understand this small tactical adjustment. With a little thought, the captain can figure out the joint.
Wen Tianxiang was also stunned, he didn't think of the deeper part, so he listened carefully to Li Hongjun's opinion.
"Taiwei has said many times that the Song army should be the children of the people of the Great Song Dynasty. Even if there are unscrupulous people among their relatives, they can't go up and fight to the death. Li Hongjun said.
Li Yun can understand this, but he still doesn't understand what his father wants to say. Of course, the children can't go up to their relatives and kill them, this reason is too simple, so simple that Li Yun can't see anything from it at all.
Seeing that his stupid son was just showing military ability, Li Hongjun sighed secretly in his heart, but he could only say bluntly: "If someone in the army comes up and shouts to kill all the people, do you think they are soldiers?" ”
Li Yun felt as if he understood, but he still felt that something was unclear. Wen Tianxiang looked solemn, he already fully understood what Li Hongjun was talking about. No wonder Taiwei Zhao and the members of the society worked so hard to tell the truth that if they could not kill the people of the Great Song Dynasty, they would not kill and injure the people of the Great Song Dynasty. This is to reach a consensus at the top first, so that no one at the top will make a mistake and deliberately kill people for credit.
Now there are also branches of the academy in the army, and those outstanding soldiers will also become members of the headquarters of the academy. If this were not the case, there would be no way to imagine that a military general like Li Yun would sit with civilian officials on an equal footing to listen to things and talk about things. As long as there are no internal disagreements in the society, it will be easy to solve them in the new army.
After Wen Tianxiang figured out the key points of several layers inside and outside, Li Yun suddenly realized: "It turns out that no one in the army is allowed to seek to kill people and make meritorious contributions!" ”
Seeing that his son finally understood, Li Hongjun nodded, "That's the way it is, in the face of the Mongols, naturally the more you kill, the better." In the face of the people of the Great Song Dynasty, of course, the less killed the better. The Captain never sloppily in such matters. ”
Li Yun left after receiving instructions from his father. Originally, he was still thinking about discussing with his father whether to provide military advice to Taiwei, but now he understood that what Taiwei Zhao needed now was not specific military advice, but to let everyone guarantee that they would never wantonly kill the people. As long as this guarantee is obtained, the lieutenant will of course arrange tactics.
Looking at his son's back, Li Hongjun sighed, "Brother Wen, Li Yun, this child has been like this since he was a child. When it comes to fighting, he's still a bit talented. He was so reckless except for fighting. ”
Wen Tianxiang shook his head, "Martial arts, the dry city of the country." If there are no soldiers like Ling Lang, where can we regain Lin'an, and where can we expand our territory. In that year, the sect awarded Jia Rudao the Eastern Army Festival envoy. The family seems to be angry: The festival is the ultimate ear of the coarse person! Hum! If he can really appease the soldiers like Captain Zhao, where will there be the defeat of Ding Jiazhou. ”
Li Hongjun admires the Jinshi very much, but what he can't stand the most is the Jinshi's side-by-side recruitment. The defeat of Ding Jiazhou, Li Hongjun seems to have heard of this name. As for the previous festival envoy and the evaluation of the rough man, Li Hongjun didn't understand it at all. Wen Tianxiang said that Hua is not like Zhao Taiwei, and there is a lot of content in what Zhao Taiwei said, but Li Hongjun can understand Zhao Taiwei's words.
Just when Li Hongjun thought that Wen Tianxiang was going to continue to talk about it like this, Wen Tianxiang changed the topic himself. The cadres from Fuzhou did not have any relatives who fell into the hands of the Mongols, but the officials from the Jinshi were different, and many of their relatives had accidents. Da Yuan officially offered to exchange prisoners, which gave these people hope. It would be best if they could be exchanged for prisoners. However, the gang did not dare to make such a request right now. The actions of the relatives of these Jinshi in this storm may not be so glorious.
After listening to the rhetoric of 'not necessarily so glorious', Li Hongjun could only sigh in his heart that the language of these literati was really fancy, wouldn't it be good to just say 'disgraceful'. So he didn't mention that, but asked, "Isn't someone going to give us a roster with Mongolia?" ”
"With a roster of hundreds of thousands of people, do Mongolians have so many literate people?" Wen Tianxiang asked rhetorically.
Li Hongjun was stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help laughing. He couldn't understand 'Da Yuan, Da Yuan' before. Where is the ridiculousness of the monkey and the crown'. Now he can understand that 'literati are unscrupulous and devour people to the bone', these people are really bitter and mean! After laughing, Li Hongjun asked, "Is there anyone in Brother Wen's family who has fallen?" ”
"My hometown has not been captured by the Mongols." Wen Tianxiang replied.
"Then wait and see. Taiwei has always lectured that the society must be for the country and the people, and the cadres in the navigation guild must be evaluated every year. I'm afraid this time it's the evaluation of the school. Li Hongjun gave a very clear statement.
The next day's events were as Li Hongjun had predicted, and the cadres did not make their own claims on such matters at all because they had the experience of being evaluated and eliminated. Since Taiwei Zhao said not to kill more, everyone followed suit and said not to kill more. As for the specific implementation, it is naturally left to the military to carry it out.
However, the civil officials who were born in Jinshi don't seem to have such knowledge, and Li Boyu said very seriously that this time he will fiercely deter Mingjiao, so the upper echelons of Mingjiao must be annihilated, and the middle level must not be let go. This kind of 'foresight' has been widely recognized by the Jinshi. Wen Tianxiang found that if there was no advance explanation from Li Hongjun, he would also deeply agree with Li Boyu's statement.
After all, the new army proved their combat effectiveness in the war with the Mongols. In Huaidong, in south-central Henan, the new army faced the Mongol army and won every battle. And along the way to the west, he conquered the city and was invincible. With such a powerful army, of course, it is necessary to teach those mobs a profound lesson, so that they will not rise up again.
Seeing that the members of the society had expressed their attitudes, Zhao Jiaren's face sank, and he said to Li Boyu and the others: "Speaking of which, you are still full of desire to kill the people. ”
Being criticized like this, Li Boyu was quite aggrieved, and he asked puzzledly: "Why did the captain say this!" I just think that if I can let the people know that it is powerful at this time, no one will dare to rebel in the future. ”
Zhao Jiaren responded unceremoniously: "The people must have rebelled because they couldn't survive." If everyone lives and works in peace and contentment, those who still jump out to rebel will be sued by the people first, or they will be directly arrested and sent to the official. Don't talk about these things we should do, just think about killing people and standing up, is this loving the people?! ”
Originally, these were all words that the Jinshi could say casually, and because they could say it casually, the Jinshi didn't actually think it was necessary. However, listening to Zhao Jiaren say this, many people feel that Zhao Taiwei is going to play really. Some people are naturally happy, and many people feel tired in their hearts. It is already very tiring to just finish the current work, and if you add new toils in vain, you don't want to live this day!
