74. Disagreement (Meng)

It was a good day, it had just rained last night, and there were still crystal clear raindrops on the green grass and small leaves. The www.biquge.info sun came out, the sky was clear, and the sun shone on the earth, both warm and not hot.

And so, our great mother set out, her eyes blankly fixed on the depths of the forest.

"Where are you going?" asked the old beggar, Gao Yijia.

"I'm going to find them. ”

He didn't keep her.

After a few weeks of tug-of-war, the people of the Ha Hong region talked about only two people, diametrically opposed, but engaged in the same cause, that is, the great revolutionary struggle side by side.

The barbaric war continued, and for a time the rebel army of GE was at a disadvantage, and for a time the Qi army was defeated again, especially in Hehongzhou.

With a force of 1,500 troops, the young commander of the GE Command faction boldly defeated the royalist faction several times his own size in Zimeng, wiped out the Qi army, or at least greatly contained and restricted the royalist faction.

After that, the revolutionaries won again and again, thus creating a new situation. The situation has changed, but a strange complication has emerged.

In the south, there is no doubt that the communist countries are at the advantage. But what kind of republic is this? For in the gradual victory of maturity there are two forms of republics, the Republic of Terror and the Republic of Leniency, the former advocating harshness and the latter advocating mercy. Which of them will prevail? The two forms of tolerance and intolerance, represented by two men each, both of whom have prestige and power, one of whom is a military commander and the other a civilian commissioner, will prevail?

Terrible command: "No forgiveness, no mercy". Everything was to be subordinated to him, for the decree of the Convention clearly stated that "anyone who releases the captured rebel leaders and allows them to flee shall be put to death". He had all the powers conferred by the National Salvation Committee, and an order signed by Ning Li and Lin Dasi that all men should obey the special representative. The other is

A military man, his backing is a strength - benevolence.

He has only arms to fight his enemies with, and he has only hearts to forgive his enemies with them. As the victor, he believed that he had the right to tolerate the vanquished.

Thus, a latent but deep disagreement arose between the two men. Both of them indulge in their own fantasies, but both are fighting royalists, and each has its own killer copper, one is victory and the other is terror.

Throughout the South, people were talking about them, eyes were watching them from all sides, and their eyes were uneasy, because these two absolutely opposite people were at the same time intimate, rivals and friends. Never before have two hearts been so close to each other. The fierce have saved the lives of the generous, and they still have scars on their faces. One of them represents death, one represents life, one follows the principle of terror, and the other follows the principle of mildness, but they love one another.

He bandaged the wounded, tended to the sick, stayed day and night in makeshift or official hospitals, felt distressed at the sight of barefoot children, and gave everything to the poor with nothing. Wherever there is a war, he goes, walking in front of the ranks and devoting himself to the fierceness

He had weapons, a knife and a gun from his waist, but he had no weapons, because he never drew his knife and never touched his gun. In the face of blows, he never fought back. People say he was a priest.

These two people, one is Chen Qingjun and the other is Meng Jia.

Between these two is friendship, but between these two principles is hatred, like a heart being divided in two and shared by two. Chen Qingjun did accept half of Meng Jia's heart, and the gentle half, he seemed to accept the white part, leaving Meng Jia with the so-called black part. A deep divide arises from this. This potential war is impossible

No outbreaks. One morning, the battle began.

Meng Jia asked Chen Qingjun:

"How's the war going?"

Chen Qingjun replied:

"You know as well as I do that Cruxi's gang has been broken up by me, and now there are only a few people left under him, hiding in the forests of Changbai Mountain. A week later, he will be surrounded. ”

"Two weeks from now?"

"He will fall into our hands. ”

"And then?"

"Have you read my notice?"

"Yes. How?"

"He's going to be shot. ”

"You're magnanimous again. He should go to the guillotine. ”

"But I'm in favor of military executions. ”

"And I," Meng Jia retorted, "I am in favor of revolutionary executions." ”

He stared straight at Chen Qingjun and asked:

"Why did you let go of the nuns in the Huashan Branch?"

"I don't fight against women. Chen Qingjun said.

"But these women hate the people. As far as hatred goes, one woman is worth ten men. Why don't you send the large number of fanatical old monks caught in Yangcheng to the Revolutionary Court?"

"I don't fight against the elderly. ”

"But the old monk is worse than the younger one. White-haired people preaching rebellion are more dangerous because wrinkles work. Don't be pretending to be merciful, Chen Qingjun, the monarch killer is also the liberator. The eyes have to be stared at Jin Si Fat for the end. ”

"I will acquit the crown prince. He's still a kid, and I don't fight against kids. ”

Meng Jia's eyes became stern: "Chen Qingjun, you have to understand, if that woman's name is Jiang Meili, you should fight with the woman, if the old man is Lama 11, you should fight the old man, and if the child's name is Jin Daming, you should fight with the child." ”

"But I'm not a politician. ”

"Don't be a dangerous person. During the assault on Shencheng, the rebel Wan Guonian came at your troops alone with his sword, why did you shout 'Get out of the way, let him pass?'"

"You can't let fifteen hundred people kill one man. ”

"In Jianye City, when you see the soldiers about to kill the commander of the Qi army, Xu Caihou, who is lying on the ground after being wounded, you shout, 'Go forward, I will deal with him', and you will shoot empty guns into the sky. Why is that?"

"For you cannot kill a man who has fallen to the ground. ”

Meng Jia really didn't understand, why did Chen Qingjun become so benevolent with the arrival of one victory after another?

Does blood numb people? Or does blood make people unbearable and kind?
