Chapter 465: The Wind Rises and the End of Qingping (I)
"Speaking of which, how did you go to war with the Ming Dynasty at that time? Is there any difference in tactics from our side? Father Peter took the opportunity to ask again.
"It's no different, it's all the same. We're not a regular army, so what tactics can we have. Tang Sai'er shook her head again and again, it seemed that she was very dissatisfied with herself.
"Although it took more than a year to try our best, the situation at that time made it impossible for everyone to wait any longer. If you continue to prepare, I am afraid that there will be more losses every day than the people saved. β
"Then if you don't prepare enough, won't you be even more unable to defeat the imperial court?" Father Peter asked.
"What do you think, how can you beat the imperial court." Tang Sai'er said with a smile.
"What about this ......"
"There are many kinds of rebellion." Tang Sai'er showed a maturity that was completely out of step with his age, but instead reasoned with the middle-aged scholar: "Overthrowing the imperial court is just the most violent kind of rebellion. Although such rebellions are generally the largest and most famous, they are only rare. β
"Most of the time, the rebels don't have such high goals and don't seek to change the dynasty. Like us, that's it. "It's the most of these rebellionsβso many of them every year," she said. So, there's nothing surprising. β
"It's you, why are you all making a fuss?" Instead, she asked a little strangely: "Isn't this one of the normal ways of communication between the people and the government?" β
"That's ...... when you say that," the Grand Lama Wang thought for a moment, "just like what I just thought." We have the same on our side, but all kinds of demonstrations and mutinies have replaced the popular uprising. β
"What's the use of a parade? If you don't attack and kill the officials, the government won't pay attention to it. Tang Sai'er didn't think about it and said.
"It's a matter of word translation." Grand Lama Wang explained: "The so-called procession is not a disturbance by homeless people in the streets, the original meaning of the word is 'marching'. It is said that in ancient Rome, the legionnaires would suddenly disobey orders, leave the station, and begin to march towards the vital places - most of the time the city of Rome. β
"They're not just petty fights. Along the way, the legionnaires who marched into Rome often plundered everywhere, especially in the heart of Italy, where the senators ran manors, which were generally rich and weakly guarded. If they can't be appeased in time, the homes of the patriarchs will have to be raided by these soldiers. Therefore, the army parade has such a high deterrent power and can play a great ...... It may even be too much for the effect. β
"If that is the case, Europe and Persia are the same." Father Peter thought for a moment: "I have sorted out the history of the Church and found that the records of natural disasters and heresies often appear in clusters. The explanation of the Catholic Church is that people are not having a good time, and it is easy to be unable to withstand the test and accept the temptation of the devil, so there will be more heretical sects and religious wars. But looking at it this way, it doesn't seem to be the case. β
"If life is not good, the locals will also change. But they didn't have the kind of organization that the East and Rome did, and the best organization to use was the church. Although popular uprisings also occur frequently, they can't defeat the local military aristocracy, and everyone will not know about these things, so they will be suppressed. And the larger upheavals, which can cause the attention of all countries, are often classified as religious wars. β
"Have you noticed, Alemanni, who recently said that a heretical sect has become active. I guess that's probably a similar omen. He reminded the Great Lama.
"Definitely. It looks like we really need to pay more attention. I'll write more about this next report. The Great Lama Wang thought about it and agreed.
"You see, as long as we have more experience, we can find the key to many problems when we compare." He turned to Tang Sai'er and said, "However, the main difference here is in the government. Although the logic of the people seems to be similar, it is estimated that the experience of dealing with the government is not very useful. β
"I don't know how the people here act. What we said at the time...... After the incident, the government reacted quickly. We attacked the county seat and eliminated the Ming army stationed in the city, and the government immediately sent people to talk about Zhao'an. β
"It's all a lie." Father Peter concluded.
"It's hard to say." Tang Sai'er seemed to know everything about this, and analyzed it carefully: "Most of the time, Zhao'an is indeed true. And in general, the more the locals can fight, the more sincere the attitude of the government Zhao'an. Everyone is not stupid, they all know the risks. To put it bluntly, it is precisely because there are many successful cases of Zhao'an that occasional deception can deceive people. β
"After all, the damage caused by the civil uprising is too severe, and even if it is suppressed, it will have to pay a high price. Moreover, it is useless to earn a few bosses with a trick. The White Lotus Sect, the Ming Sect, the Taoism, and even the Township Gentleman can all lead people to rebel. As long as there are still people who oppress the people, there is no shortage of those who will continue to lead. β
"So, although Mr. Big and they all thought that the government was coaxing at that time, it also depends on the time. In normal times, the government does like to trap the leader, but if the local people really gather to rebel, the government generally does not dare to coax you. β
"It's quite complicated...... "Father Peter said, "how did you learn from this experience......
"Just do more." Tang Sai'er said: "Moreover, after understanding the government, we can better deal with it." For example, in our mantra, although we call it 'official' and 'court' every day, there is no group of people in the government. β
"If there is a civil uprising in the county, the county magistrate will have bad luck. Because there is also competition between officials and masters. If he can't put things right, and it is determined that the harm outweighs the good, the government will immediately abandon the official and save the interests of more people. Moreover, the actual lack of official positions is limited, and I don't know how many people are waiting for him to fall, so that he can go on his own. β
"Like us, it's so much that the house can't suppress it. Therefore, the government and the province want to hurry up to Zhao'an so that they can cover up the matter. β
"Then why don't you agree again?" Father Peter asked curiously, "Didn't you say that you didn't expect to overthrow the Ming Dynasty?" β
"It's too big. Shandong's old men can be said to have all been ripped off the water. Tang Sai'er said: "If it is only a county order or even the prefect to bear the responsibility, the big men in Shandong officialdom can still try to settle down, from 'suffering the people' to 'suffering the county master', so that the two sides can compromise with each other and achieve a result acceptable to everyone." β
"But this time, if the provincial lords want to cover up the bigger problem, they must continue to squeeze oil and water from the people. Otherwise, they will be doomed as well. She directly said the difference: "But we people really can't get by." If you continue to be bullied, everyone will not survive. With all their lives gone, how can the two sides coexist? There has to be one side to finish. This kind of edict is naturally meaningless. β
"So I decided at the time that it was either a delaying tactic, and I wanted to wait for us to lay down our arms before suppressing it; Either that, or a ploy to take advantage of the opportunity and try to induce us to split. In hindsight, it should be both. β
"There are so many doorways here...... "Father Peter lamented, "rebellion has become a specialized science......
"If you want to think so, you can do that." Tang Sai'er scratched her head: "I think it's okay, it's not that profound." At that time, I explained it to everyone, and they all agreed. Several of our sects have formed a special alliance and swore that they would not accept the edict of the government and would not betray other brothers and sisters. β
"The Great Immortal Gu officially pushed me out. She spread the word everywhere, saying that I got the sword hidden in the stone box and the military book given by the Nine Heavens Xuannu Niangniang, so it was so smooth to fight the county seat before. The crowd elected me as the leader and prepared to deal with the next round of attacks by the officers and soldiers. β
