Chapter 473: Am I Wrong?
Sha Yuan obviously felt that what Mu Tianbo said was wrong, but he just didn't know how to refute it.
Sha Dinghai quietly observed the expressions of the crowd and knew that his time had come.
"Father, for as long as I can remember, life in the family has been very good. There are men at home who serve them, and slaves who go in and out follow them. As your status rises, so do the people of our family. I used to take this for granted. It wasn't until one day, when you and Pu Mingming openly rebelled together and were driven away by the imperial court, that I knew that all this was not something I was born with, but given by the imperial court!
Because since then, the eyes of others on me are no longer the respected young master, but the son of the leader of the rebels. Along the way, they are afraid, they despise, they dare to be angry and dare not speak!
You say that you lead your people to live a good life, but look at it, have they lived a good life? Originally, although they were not clothed and fed, they had at least three meals and their families as companions. But now along the way, how many people have died on the road, and how many families have been torn apart? Look at these young men behind them who are working hard for us, are they really willing to live such a turbulent life!?
Father! Wake up!"
At the door of the mansion, there was silence, only Sha Dinghai's more and more passionate words echoed at the door.
At this time, the source of sand is as pale as soil.
He looked around, trying to discern the negation of Sha Dinghai's words on the faces of a bunch of men.
But he was disappointed, these people fled with him from Yunnan to this Jiaozhi, and the days of comfort did not pass for a few days, although they have not been short of food, but the life is definitely not as good as before. Coupled with the death and scattering of relatives along the way, even if they came here unharmed, they sighed all day long, as the pillars of the family, why didn't they bear huge pressure?
No one dared to mention it before, but at this time, he has been reduced to a prisoner, and he has been cut with a knife, how can there be any ideal of following the lord to worship the marquis?
"The little one was bewitched by Sha Yuan for a while, so he followed him to rebel against the court, and now he has woken up. It's not a pity for the little one to die, but I beg the court to treat my wife and children well and leave them a way to live! Woo~"
A toast soldier who was tied up suddenly knelt down and kept kowtowing to Mu Tianbo, and after a while, his head was full of blood.
There are two if you have one, even if you can't live, it's best not to *** light.
In a moment, all the captured Tusi soldiers fell to their knees, whether they were sincere or false, and they kept kowtowing at this time, begging to die to save their families.
Sha Yuan felt that his long-held beliefs had been shattered.
What emperor wants to dominate the industry, what to dominate the world, is not what the people below think.
They are simply believing in themselves and following them without hesitation.
So what did I do for them?
In addition to taking them into the abyss?
Sha Yuan's mind fell into a strange circle.
The so-called success or defeat of the king, he is the king at the moment. If you win, you can be rewarded with a big reward, bringing a good life to the people below, and the wealth will continue. But now they have been driven into a dead end, and when everyone can't find a way out, a group of people naturally begin to blame the person who led the way in the first place.
The disability of the second son, the betrayal of the eldest son, and the defection of his subordinates made his long-standing outlook on life and values greatly challenged for the first time.
Am I wrong?
Sha Yuan didn't know.
With his character, given time, he will definitely be able to create a belief that he is not wrong, and find a lot of fallacies to support it. But not at this time, he was speechless by Mu Tianbo's questioning and his son's backstabbing.
"Shadinghai is the desire of the people. It is useless for you to say more, think of the people who follow you, have you ever seen a cheerful smile on their faces these days?"
After Mu Tianbo finished speaking, he no longer paid attention to Sha Yuan, who was lost and depressed, and left straight away with the people.
He had a lot to do, the placement of the captives, and the pacification of the surviving people in the city.
He was busy until late at night, and Mu Tianbo could not rest.
He sat opposite Ma Xianglin, took a sip of tea, and let out a long breath.
"I'm tired. Thanks to Brother Xianglin, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to cope with it alone."
"Grandpa has done a good job, when I was your age, I couldn't do anything, and I was scolded by my father and mother."
"General Qin is a famous general in the world, and it is certain that he is strict with Brother Xianglin, otherwise Brother Xianglin would not be so good. When I go home this time, I'm afraid I'm going to be promoted."
"We serve Your Majesty, and we don't ask for rewards, but only for being worthy of our family and country!" Ma Xianglin straightened up, and said while arching his hand in the direction of the capital.
"What Brother Xianglin said is extremely true. But we've been around here for a few days, and why hasn't there been any movement over there?"
"I'm afraid I'm waiting and seeing, and I'll take chances. After all, at most, they would go into the mountains to the west, but that day, hey~"
"Then wait and see if those guys in Ascending Dragon are useful."
The two chatted for a while, and then went back to their rooms.
And Anzhou, dozens of miles away, has no sleep in its reputation.
Sad.
Of course, it's not because his woman gave him a green hat, but because he is confused about his future life.
He is directing the people below to sort out their things and prepare to escape Anzhou early tomorrow morning.
He received the news of the fall of Muzhou in the evening, since the Ming army has broken through Muzhou, as the other half of the rebel army, can they still run?
"Father, the natives who were recruited have been pacified. The price is not small." Pu Fuyuan ran over from a distance, and those natives were unwilling to follow them into the mountains, and Pu Fuyuan said that he had made many promises to be appeased.
"It doesn't matter, as long as you can follow us, even if it's to block the knife, there will be more people."
"Yes. But will the Ming army take advantage of the night to raid?"
"It's impossible, the black light is blinding, they just got off Muzhou, and they are still unstable, so it is impossible to free up their hands to attack Anzhou for the time being. If it's not too early, it's tomorrow, and if it's late, it's the day after tomorrow. They're going to come and kill us. So tomorrow morning, we have to run quickly."
"Well, I have to go into the mountains again." Pu Fuyuan said with some frustration.
Pu Mingsheng was silent for a moment and patted Pu Fuyuan's shoulder.
"I thought I could lay a family business for you on my own, and you could enjoy it in the future, but I didn't expect the court to be so strong. This time, it was for the father to miscalculate, and the father couldn't stand you! Your mother is gone, if I have any mistakes in the future, you can just run for your life. Leave an incense stick for our family."
"Father!" Listening to Pu Ming's words, Pu Fuyuan's eyes were red.
