"It is natural to take other people's soft hands and eat other people's soft mouths, and it is natural and deserved." Suddenly, the anger on Huang Shi's face disappeared, and he returned to his usual calm expression: "It's okay, with this life worry, he should be able to learn a lesson, and he won't take my words as a deaf ear anymore." ”

He Baodao didn't believe that Huang Shi would think that he was so calm on the surface, but he also knew that Huang Shi had always been like this, from the first time he saw him in Quang Ninh, He Baodao realized that this person was not simple, unusually calm, as if nothing could make him panic, at least not on the surface.

"Brother He, you're desperate." It seemed as if Huang Shi had really put away all the negative emotions, and his tone was as if he had just been made a harmless joke: "If I don't agree, what do you dare to do to me, Your Majesty and Brother He?" Don't say what you dare to kill me, as long as I don't want to go to war with the Shun army......"

"It's a thief, my lord."

"As long as everyone knows that even I don't want to fight with the Shun army," Huang Shi shook his head slightly: "Today's news spreads, tomorrow the new army will have to disperse half, the soldiers of the new army are indeed better trained and equipped than the Beijing camp, but if you don't believe me, relying on my prestige and reputation, do you think they will be stronger than the Beijing camp?" ”

"My lord, my subordinates hope that you can think twice, you are the marquis of the Ming Dynasty, and your subordinates don't believe that you are Xu Ping's kind of thief."

"I sometimes often think, if I am still as young as Xu Ping now, in his position, what will I do when I see the appearance of this court and the new army?" Huang Shi smiled slightly: "I will also reverse it." Oh, no," Huang Shi then changed his words: "Brother He, you are right, I will not be as straightforward as Xu Ping, I will be in the same league with the court and the new army, and do my best to flatter, so that the court and the new army think that I am the same kind of person as them, and trust me, at least until I am famous in martial arts, with tens of thousands of troops, and henchmen all over the world, it is better to open the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion and worship the Marquis, so that the reverse will be more certain." Huang Shi smiled: "Brother He said well, I am not a thief like Xu Ping. ”

There was silence between the two, and after a moment, Huang Shi asked thoughtfully, "Shanlan Ying, since Brother He knows his inevitable answer, what does Brother He plan to say to General Wei?" Even if I agree to accompany Brother He to act and stay in this Jingshi and not go anywhere, he will not believe that I suddenly agree to an expedition to Shanxi, and he will definitely be suspicious, and this suspicion will be told to his subordinates, and then spread throughout the new army. ”

He Baodao remained silent about Huangshi's question.

"Could it be that Brother He has gone to attack the Shanlan camp?" Huang Shi looked at He Baodao's expression, and after seeing that the other party still didn't speak, his face changed: "It turns out that General He already has a plan. Sure enough, this is also a way, in case I firmly disagree, General He can kill me and push me to the Shanlan camp. I'm guessing you'll say that he broke into the camp, was wrong, and that he was the internal response of the Shun army, and wanted to assassinate me to disintegrate the new army. And General He, as the heir to my will, will definitely not let this attempt succeed. Well, relying on my prestige among the soldiers and the people, maybe I can still maintain some morale and arouse the fighting spirit of many people to fight with the Shun army. Huang Shi frowned and thought for a moment: "But it's still too dangerous, it's best not to use it until the last resort, and the best strategy is to persuade me to stay in the Jingshi honestly." ”

He Baodao stared at Huang Shi, looking at the other party's unscrupulous expression, and finally began to show an angry expression: "My lord, Da Ming treats you well. ”

"I treat you well, why do you betray me?"

He Baodao snorted and said disdainfully, "Do you really think so?" ”

"It seems that you have a lot of grievances, so tell me, if I promise that the new army can continue to be powerful and participate in smuggling when it arrives in the south, and I will guarantee to protect you even if it is murder and arson, are you not loyal to the Ming Dynasty? Will you happily go south with me? After Huang Shi sarcastically said two sentences, he changed his tone: "Brother He, your eldest son is also serving in the south, and he is not working for this Ming court, you should stop it quickly, while it is still too late, don't let your son be embarrassed." ”

……

After hearing that ten brocade guards came to visit, Zhao Slowxiong went out to greet him strangely, and when he saw Zhao Slowxiong, the group of brocade guards immediately took out a yellow silk holy decree: "Lord Zhao, there is a holy decree, please accept it." ”

"Ah, I don't know that the angel is coming, the minister is lazy," Zhao Slowxiong was taken aback, and hurriedly turned around and drank to his family: "Why don't you set up an incense case?" ”

"There's no need to be so troublesome, the will of the Holy Lord to Lord Zhao is very simple, it is the will of Dao Grace." Except for the grinning leader of the brocade guard, the others didn't really know what was going on, and the leader was ordered to try not to attract everyone's attention or suspicion as much as possible.

"Wechen didn't dare to lose the courtesy." Zhao Slowxiong's demeanor was extremely respectful, and he nodded and asked Jinyiwei to wait for a while.

Seeing this, the leader of the Jinyi Guard didn't say anything more, anyway, he knew that there was only one order on the holy decree, that is, to let Zhao Slow Xiong immediately enter the palace with the people to face the saint.

"Weichen will come when he goes to change into court clothes," Zhao Slowxiong said politely to the commander of the Jinyi Guard when he asked the servant to set up the incense case, and then turned around and hurried into the backyard.

Commander Jin Yiwei thought about it well, anyway, it was not good to wear plainclothes to enter the emperor after receiving the decree, in case the other party became suspicious after the decree was announced, maybe there would be any resistance, although the emperor's explanation was that he would drive Zhao Slowxiong into the palace even if he drove hard, but if he could be amiable, it would naturally be the best result.

……

"It seems that Brother He thinks what I said is wrong," Huang Shi noticed that He Baodao's face not only did not hesitate after listening to his words, but instead added anger: "Brother He has any dissatisfaction, even if you have done this kind of thing, are you still afraid that I will be angry?" ”

"At the beginning, the adult said that the dog was working for the Funing Army, but later he went to work for a group of businessmen, if Xiao'er was in the Beijing Division, how could he be a general now," He Baodao was really dissatisfied with Huangshi's arrangement for his eldest son: "For so many years, my subordinates have always thought that the adults would have other meanings and would help the dogs gain a future, but the subordinates and the adults have said so many times, and the adults just turned a deaf ear." ”

"I do have another deep meaning," Huang Shi sighed: "And He Feihu is not doing things for businessmen, he is not doing things for anyone, he is doing things for the council." ”

"Isn't the Council just a bunch of businessmen?"

"Not exactly, it's just that you have always been loyal to Daming, and there are some things I haven't been able to tell you clearly, but at least He Feihu is very motivated, and the council remembers his hard work."

He Baodao didn't believe Huang Shi's words at all, he would rather his son work for Huang Shi himself than for him to buy his life for a very empty council: "Who is the council?" Isn't it an adult? But adults just don't want to give him a future. ”

"The council is not mine, it is not anyone's."

"And what the hell is it?"

"It's the country, it's the country of the future." Huang Shi said softly, this is the first time he has said this to Yang Zhiyuan in person: "Your son is serving the country, which is far better than serving me." ”

"Whose country?" He Baodao scoffed at Huangshi's pretext.

"A country of the people, a country of the common people."

"What?" He Baodao felt that he couldn't understand what Huang Shi was chanting.

"A long, long time ago, far, far away, there was such a country, and she was called the Republic of China."

"Mingguo?" He Baodao said: "My lord, you are making up a story again. ”

"It is the people of the common people, and it means the country of the common people." Huang Shi restrained his smile and said word by word: "There is no emperor in this country, because there are some people who believe that the people of this country are not born slaves, they have the ability to distinguish good from bad, and have the right and freedom to yearn for freedom, so some people with lofty ideals united and overthrew the emperor who enslaved the commoners and created this country." ”

"Without an emperor, it must be a mess." He Baodao sneered.

……

Zhao Slowxiong has been in for a long time, but he still hasn't come out, and the leader of the Jinyi Guard gradually began to feel nervous, and after asking the servant to ask questions, the reward he got was that their master hid in the study and bolted the door.

"It's going to be bad." The commander of Jinyi Wei secretly said in his heart that it was not good, he hurriedly left two people to guard the door, and rushed into the back hall of the Zhao Mansion with the remaining seven people. The only thing that makes Commander Jinyiwei feel fortunate is that the person he has to deal with never practices martial arts, but a person who is over half a hundred years old, and the Commander of Jinyiwei today brings one in a hundred good players.

Rushing to Zhao Slowxiong's study, the commander of the Jinyi guard shouted through the door: "Lord Zhao, please come out to receive the order." ”

"I'm not going out! What are you doing today? ”

Hearing that the person hadn't run yet, the Jinyi guard commander was relieved, and kicked the door open without saying a word, and broke in first.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

Zhao Slowxiong's desk was littered with more than a dozen flintlock handcuffs that had been loaded with ammunition, and his left pistol was as good as his right hand, and in the blink of an eye, he put all the group of masters brought by the commander to the ground.

"Do you really think that I was born as a military general, and I will never practice martial arts?" Zhao Slowxiong grabbed the remaining handcuffs and rushed out of the door, easily killed the last two brocade guards, and ordered the door to be closed.

Zhao Wanxiong nervously began to fill the handcuff again: "I'm afraid something happened over there." ”

……

"Indeed, she is a mess: because it is a civilian country, the common people have the right to be angry with the government, but the government always wants to suppress this anger, and sometimes when the civilians protest angrily in the streets of the city, the government will spray them with a fire-fighting hose, and they are afraid of the anger of the common people as if they were afraid of a flame that will burn them to ashes; Because it is a commoner country, the people's taxes should be used to build schools instead of government yamen, and some provinces stipulate that if the county yamen is more magnificent than the school for children in this county, the county magistrate will be dismissed, but many high-ranking officials still embezzle the people's fat and ointment and go unpunished; Although it claims to be a country of civilians, the gentleman of the private school still cannot unscrupulously denounce the incompetence and ** of the government, because the government is still doing the thing of clamping down on the population. Huang Shi remembered some of the deeds of the corrupt and dark Kuomintang government, such as the professors of Peking University and Nankai University at that time, sometimes they would ring the bell urgently, and give the last speech to the students in the auditorium before being arrested, and the Kuomintang police would wait on the sidelines, and after the professor's impassioned speech was over, they would take him to a prison car and send him to prison for half a year or a year.

He Baodao seemed to say something, but Huang Shi didn't pay attention to it at all, and he continued: "So there are some who are determined to overthrow this dark government, and they vow to build a real civilian state: a country where officials cannot bully people, the government cannot oppress civilians, and everyone can speak freely, and they vow to free their compatriots from the fate of being fooled, damaged, and treated like mustard forever. ”

Of course, these aspirants were brutally suppressed, but even when faced with butcher knives, they were not willing to give up their ideals even in words, and they would chant their ideals as slogans on the execution ground. Many of these people are the children of wealthy people who can live very well, and they have given their lives for some poor compatriots who are not masked and live at the bottom, because they believe that these compatriots should not be oppressed and harmed because of poverty; There are also men of high and well-informed families who have a bright future and are well-informed, who have sacrificed their lives for their illiterate compatriots because they believe that no one in this country should have access to education...... I once had a dream that I was not born in the Ming Dynasty, but in the country for which these people of lofty ideals dedicated," Huang Shi said more and more emotionally, and completely entered his own world: "In that world, these heroes were called martyrs, and their deeds and ideals were used to educate very young children. So many heroes who are willing to sacrifice their lives for their compatriots for the happiness they themselves are not destined to enjoy. ”

The more Huang Shi spoke, the more impassioned he became, but He Baodao couldn't keep up with his train of thought at all.

"Once I had another dream, I dreamed that I did not travel to the Ming Dynasty, but to the righteousness of these aspirants."

"Crossing? What is crossing? ”

Huang Shi did not answer He Baodao's question, he said to himself: "After those people of lofty ideals learn my origin and identity, they will definitely ask me: My compatriots, how do they live? Are they happy? Are they happy? And I will answer these martyrs: yes, we have a real civilian government, where everyone is respected for his contribution and not for the status of his parents, and the officials have no privileges, let alone their children; Officials may still abuse their power for personal gain, but once this kind of thing that can only happen in dark corners is exposed, it will become a rat crossing the street and everyone shouts and beats it; Our government is clean and simple, and only the necessary expenses of the yamen are left, and the rest of the taxes collected from the common people are used to educate the children, to provide support for the orphaned and elderly, and to provide medical care for the sick; There may be people who are greedy for vanity, but girls from poor families do not have to sell their dignity for a living; People may have their own aspirations, but children from poor families will not drop out of school because of survival problems; The dissatisfaction and anger of the common people will make the government feel sorry, everyone can speak freely, no one will be enslaved, and if anyone tries to squeeze the blood and sweat of the poor and use their compatriots as slave labor, they will definitely be investigated by the government with the strictest punishment; Because it is a civilian government, it will always ensure that the peasants have enough food rations to ensure food and clothing, and those collected are also used to help other people in need, so there will be no dozens or millions of peasants fleeing the famine, let alone starving to death. ”

"Yes, that's what I'm going to say to these martyrs," Yellowstone said from his fantasy world, "I want to say to them: Because your bloodshed and sacrifice have brought earth-shaking changes to our country and nation, and are our most precious treasures, with immeasurable value. ”

"My lord, are you telling a mythical story?" He Baodao's mouth was already closed: "Is there such a person in the world?" This kind of person who is not self-conscious? ”

"How do you know no? This time in Jiangxi, how did the folk training perform? Huang Shi saw a battle report, and in the face of Ji Huisi's offensive, a Jiangxi militia of 2,000 people was killed and wounded, and 700 people still held their positions: "How many of them are fighting because they believe that the council can bring a different Jiangxi?" How many of them shed blood and sacrificed their lives so that their fellow villagers could live in a better Jiangxi? And this better Jiangxi, what they are fighting for, they themselves are very likely not to enjoy. ”

He Baodao closed his mouth tightly and stopped talking.

"I don't know if these Jiangxi people who don't have to participate in the Shun and Ming competitions, when they close their eyes, they must be convinced that their sacrifice is valuable, and they don't regret that the trade of exchanging military pay for their lives is too cost-effective, but I don't know if they will have the slightest doubt, at the last moment of the lives of all the martyrs," Huang Shi stretched out his thumb and forefinger and lightly compared in front of He Baodao: "Will there be even such a little doubt: that is, they will be betrayed by the person they trust the most, Betrayed by the people they had the most high hopes for, so that their ambitions were in vain. ”

"Your Excellency." He Baodao had already expected Huang Shi's answer, but he still wanted to make another effort.

"I'm not a thief, I'm not a one-man thief, I'm not that kind of person," Huang Shi raised his sword with both hands, holding the scabbard in one hand and holding the hilt tightly in the other: "I will never let the martyr die worthless, General He, draw your sword." ”

"Adult ......"

"I'm not your lord, General He."

Seeing that Huang Shi had already put on a posture to face the battle, He Baodao shook his head and sighed: "Lord Huang, I can win against you even with my left hand." ”

"He Bao Dao! Draw your sword! ”

After hearing this, He Baodao pursed his lips and glanced at Huang Shi deeply:

"Alright, Yellowstone, as you wish."
