Chapter 47: Soldiers and Bandits Join Forces
A bandit actually said that he was the same as a soldier, and anyone who listened to it would think it was a joke.
Gong Zihong couldn't laugh.
Instead, Chu Mannu smiled and said, "Do you need me to remind you, this winter, will there be any village, how many families will starve to death because they can't afford to eat?" ”
"Are they lazy people, no, this year is another year of good weather, why do so many people can't afford to eat and starve to death."
"It's because of the harsh taxes, it's because of the banditry."
"You don't need me to remind you that the taxes collected by the local government are different from the taxes collected by the imperial court, and the bandits, they are just knives in the hands of others."
"You know all this, and you know what it will be like if it goes on like this, and at that time, the people will not be able to live, and there will be only one way to go."
"That's rebellion."
"It's a rebellion, isn't it time for your soldiers and horses to go out and rehabilitate."
"But is it really the people's fault?"
"If the people don't rebel, they will die, are they wrong?"
"I want to ask you, who is wrong?"
"As a soldier, is your sword aimed at the desperate people?"
"Do you know what the real scourge is, but you tolerate the adulterer, and you put your armor on you?"
The successive questions made Gong Zihong speechless.
If it was an ordinary soldier, he might not understand what Chu Mannu was talking about, and he wouldn't think too much.
But Gong Zihong also represents the Gong family, he is not just an ordinary soldier.
As far as what Chu Mannu said, it was really not alarmist.
There is one of the most obvious examples.
Gong Zihong couldn't help but glance at Pei Yun.
"Yes, you can just look at him, look at this Nanshan Village, whether it is Hao Zhi or Cheng Yong, they are just minions of the government, plus Master Fan of Liu Mansion is targeted everywhere."
"That is, Nanshan Village, if this happens to other villages, it should be dead, not only Nanshan Village, there are many similar things."
Gong Zihong's breathing became short, he had discovered something.
"So...... You came to Nanshan Village this time to bewitch and rebel. ”
Chu Mannu shook his head, "You put the cart before the horse, it was someone who wanted to put Nanshan Village to death first, and then I came." ”
"As you said, you can protect Nanshan Village, okay, even if you can protect it, then if something like Nanshan Village occurs in other villages, will you still protect it."
"Of course, if you are a selfish person, you can ignore all the words I said today, you can just live well, even if it is a miserable life, it has nothing to do with you."
"Of course, if you listen, then I can talk to you about suggestions."
Gong Zihong's Adam's apple couldn't help but move, and he couldn't help but say, "What is the suggestion?" ”
This should not have been said, but as soon as it came out, it showed that it was a thought.
"My suggestion is that you and I join forces, you are in the light, I am in the dark, relying on the soldiers and horses and the tile bandits, to clear those real scourges, and return a peace to Min County, what to do, you can discuss in detail, the basic idea is, I will muddy the water, you will finish it."
The idea of soldiers and bandits joining forces to fight against the local clan government is really bold.
But what if it does?
In fact, the imperial court has always had the idea of weakening the collusion between the scholars and the government.
The scholars and the government, one has the most resources in the local area, and the other represents the greatest power in the local area.
Once these two hook up, even the imperial court can't do anything about them.
If even the Terracotta Division is corrupted, it will be no different from establishing himself as a king.
On the surface, the Terracotta Division is external, but in fact, it is a knife that deters the inside.
Now the official mansion of the scholar clan in Min County is indeed like a loose horse, if it can give them a dose of fierce medicine, it is what the imperial court is happy to see.
If you really want to say that, Chu Mannu said that it is the same as Gong Zihong, which seems to be true.
If the big boss and the third boss are still there, they will naturally do things for the official government of the Shi clan.
But now, the tile bandits are the Chu barbarians who have the final say, and according to the past actions, the Chu barbarians are working against the Shi clan government.
When he had such a thought in his heart, Gong Zihong couldn't help but be startled.
It's just that he has an idea in his heart that he has to do something.
His knife pointed at Chu Mannu again, and said, "Shut up for me, if you leave now, I can still act as if nothing happened, otherwise, don't blame me for being merciless under the knife." ”
This is a cruel word, but this cruel word is to let the Chu barbarian slave leave.
There's a saying for that.
Chu Mannu smiled, she first glanced at Pei Yun, she was originally here to find Pei Yun today, and it was an accident to meet Gong Zihong.
Pei Yun didn't do anything about it, but he gained something from Gong Zihong.
Things can develop like this, and Chu Mannu is also satisfied.
She also saw that Gong Zihong's endurance had reached the limit, and she had to slow down at this time, if she was in a hurry, things would not be beautiful.
Anyway, the coming day is long, Gong Zihong wants to leave by himself now, and he just leaves.
In this way, Chu Mannu left.
As soon as Chu Mannu left, Gong Zihong also felt uncomfortable, and then left.
Only the people in Nanshan Village were left looking at each other, and everyone's eyes were looking at Pei Yun.
The development of things is too unpredictable, and everyone needs to listen to Pei Yun's opinion.
Pei Yun: "Why are you looking at me like this?" ”
"Please also ask Childe to say a few words." Sun Yaozu said.
"I told you, I don't cause trouble, but I'm not afraid of things, in our current situation, we have no initiative, we can only see the moves, whether it's Gong Zihong, or Chu Mannu, in their opinion, we're just tools that can be used."
"The most correct thing to do is not to mix anything, we are too weak, we need to make ourselves strong first."
"Weakness is the original sin, and only when you are strong can you be qualified to do other things."
"What does that boy think we should do next?" Sun Yaozu said.
"I said, if we don't mix, we will take care of ourselves, what others think, how to do it, is someone else's business, only by managing ourselves, if something really comes to the door, we can make the best response."
Sun Yaozu patted his forehead and said, "It's me who is confused, yes, even I can't protect myself, how can I have the ability to take care of other things." ”
As far as what happened today, it was an accident for Pei Yun.
The accident is really coming, and I can't stop it, what I can really do is to do what I want to do according to my own plan.
The matter about Gong Zihong and Chu Mannu was put aside.
Pei Yun and Sun Yaozu discussed another matter.
