Chapter 0094: Kenshin is Lonely
"Anything else to add?" Yang Ying exhaled deeply the turbid air that had been deposited for a long time.
In the eyes of the conqueror, the person who prostrates and begs for mercy is the flesh, and when the knife will fall is all in the thought of it, or whether the surrender attitude of the vanquished person is humble enough, and the humble posture of begging for mercy can make it unbearable to raise the butcher knife. Now there is only a prayer to vigorously spread Buddhism, and the group of barbarians under the Yuan court who built temples are more influenced by Buddha nature.
Zhu Chengjun looked away and turned to look at the sky.
"Leave the rest to me, you just need to hide the food, stay at home and don't go anywhere, believe me, the Yuan soldiers will retreat soon." Zhu Chengjun couldn't bear to let Yang Ying be too involved in this matter, he could stay away as far as he could, the harm of war to women is far more cruel than that of men, men are too big to die, and the humiliation that women may have to bear is simply a nightmare.
"It's not too early, I have to go back and arrange the implementation."
Ming Jing said goodbye to the Yang sisters with Zhu Chengjun.
In the car, Mingjing glanced at Zhu Chengjun, who was in a heavy mood, and asked, "You didn't think about escaping?" ”
"Run? Can you escape? Zhu Chengjun smiled bitterly, and then said: "The whole world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister, no matter where he goes, he wagging his tail and begging for mercy from the people in power, isn't it better to kneel on the land he is familiar with." ”
Seeing that the atmosphere was getting heavier, Ming Jing changed the topic in a blink of an eye and said, "What do you need me to do?" ”
In fact, Ming Jing also felt very powerless, she had a body of martial arts, and what she could change was very limited.
"If you're fine, stay at my house for the next few days." Zhu Chengjun didn't want to ask Ming Jing to protect his woman, and suddenly thought of the four female rakshasas in the family, hoping that the grievances between the White Lotus Sect and Ci Jingzhai had not yet reached the same level.
Mingjing nodded lightly.
"I always feel that there are a lot of things you haven't said, can you tell me." Ming Jing knew that the deployment of the whole thing would not be as simple as Zhu Chengjun said in front of the Yang sisters, and there must be more critical links in the entire deployment.
"There must be a name for the surrender of the city that can't be found fault with the Yuan army." Zhu Chengjun opened a corner of the curtain, so that the air in the carriage was not so dull, and turned to look at Ming Jing, Zhu Chengjun's pupils suddenly condensed, and said in a deep voice: "I don't want to talk about this matter, and please don't ask, whether it's before or after." ”
"Okay, I'll inquire." Mingjing lightly shook her head, and in an instant, her delicate face under the hazy white veil bloomed, and then said: "Don't worry, I can't help with other things, I will protect the people you care about the most." ”
"Thank you." Zhu Chengjun said sincerely.
"Appeal ......"
"Big brother, it's Deng Yue."
On the right side of Zhu's mansion, Deng Yue and Shi Qian were rushing to meet with a group of 'classmates'.
Zhu Chengjun glanced at Ming Jing.
"There you go." Mingjing doesn't seem to like crowded places.
Zhu Chengjun bowed down and walked out of the carriage.
"Brother Zhu......" Seeing that it was Zhu Chengjun, Deng Yue and others sped up their pace to meet them.
"Brother Deng, Brother Shi, brothers." Zhu Chengjun saw that the group looked anxious.
"Brother Zhu has heard about it, Yuan Bing will enter the city tomorrow."
The situation is urgent, and everyone is much less polite, and they go straight to the point.
"Brother Zhu has a lot of ideas, I am here to ask for advice."
Zhu Chengjun nodded, raised his hand and asked, "Brothers, please go to the cold house for a while." ”
"No, the situation is critical, and I'll go to appease the panicked people later."
"What are you going to do?" Seeing all his classmates want to go with him, Zhu Chengjun was very pleased, and now it seems that he is not fighting alone, and he feels that he is not alone.
Everyone looked at each other, and then shook their heads and sighed, with a look of frustration.
"Our words are light-hearted, not enough to win the trust of the people, and I want Brother Zhu to come forward to appease the panicked people."
"Brother Zhu's reputation in this county is already known to us, and if Brother Zhu comes forward, it will definitely play a role."
…………
Zhu Chengjun glanced at everyone and asked rhetorically: "Wouldn't it be better for the government to come forward to solve this matter?" ”
Everyone shook their heads in unison, obviously very disappointed by what the government had done.
"Don't mention it, those officials heard that the Yuan soldiers were going to enter the city, and they fled faster than anyone else."
"Right now, I'm afraid I'm cleaning up the house."
As a county parent official, he should have been the backbone of the people in the county, but when the crisis came, he left the people to flee for his life alone, and enjoyed the people's worship in vain. However, in Zhu Chengjun's opinion, they not only escaped well this time, but also escaped at the right time, just to give us a justifiable reason to take down these dog officials to appease the people, and sacrifice the flag to show determination.
Zhu Chengjun immediately made a decision and instructed Xu Xiao: "Second brother, you immediately arrange for someone to catch up, and no matter what, you must intercept the group of officials who escaped, and tie them up alive in front of me!" ”
Bundle Parents Officer?! Deng Yue and others believe that Zhu Chengjun's move can be described as bold.
"What does Brother Zhu mean by this?"
"Binding the Imperial Court Officials...... This...... It's not suitable......"
Seeing Zhu Chengjun's resolute attitude, everyone became more and more unsettled.
"Bullshit court officer!" Reincarnated as a human being, Zhu Chengjun was rude for the first time, and said angrily: "Abandon the people at a critical juncture, such a person is also worthy of being an official?" Now that they have escaped, I am just borrowing their heads to appease the panicked people. Zhu Chengjun clenched his fists, and the more he spoke, the more angry he became.
"Brother Zhu is going to kill them?"
"Even though I have the same heart......
Killing officials is tantamount to rebellion, and those present are all scholars, who only know how to be loyal to the monarch and patriotism, and seek the well-being of the people, and they can't do such a great injustice no matter what.
"Brothers, please rest assured, killing these dog officials is still dirty with my hands." Zhu Chengjun saw that everyone dispelled the worries in their hearts, and then said: "I bother you brothers to contact the county government officials, and ask them to help keep an eye on the group of dog officials in my name." If you can trust me, you will handle this urgent matter first, and I will give you a satisfactory explanation afterwards. ”
In order to stabilize the morale of the army and the people, it is common for the people to be seriously dealt with or killed before the battle, and everyone has seen many similar examples in books, and this method is the only way to achieve significant results in this situation at present.
"We can trust Brother Zhu!"
"Let's go! Split up! ”
First, to appease the panicked people, Zhu Chengjun is inconvenient to tell his friends that with the extreme heroism of the grassland people and the traditions they believe in, he deeply hates such guys who abandon the people and only care about themselves, and at that time, he may be able to earn some goodwill by tying up these fleeing 'parent officials' in front of the Yuan army.
After everyone left, Zhu Chengjun's eyes suddenly cold, since you and other officials abandon the lives of the people, and the great injustice comes first, don't blame us for being unkind, and the heads of Naer and others should vote for the name, and the right should be used as waste, so there is no need to feel guilty.
"You're just doing this to appease the people?" Mingjing appeared behind her silently.
Zhu Chengjun didn't hide it from Ming Jing, and confessed: "This group of dog officials have been lying on the people for so many years, and now it's time for them to do something for the people of the county." Zhu Chengjun paused and looked at Ming Jing's eyes, "I plan to make the evil deeds of this group of dog officials public and tie them up in front of the Yuan army, do you approve of me doing this." ”
"They deserve it, and I'm not against you doing it." Immediately, Ming Jing's clear eyes showed deep worry, "How sure are you that you can say that you want to move the Yuan soldiers?" ”
Zhu Chengjun replied: "Then it depends on how many copper plates their heads are worth in front of Yuan Bing, the more valuable their heads are, the more I can say a few more words in front of Yuan Bing." However, their main role is not here, it also depends on how many people their heads can appease them, and the more people who welcome the Yuan army into the city, the larger the platoon, the greater my certainty. ”
Throughout history and analyzing the psychology of human nature, Zhu Chengjun came to a conclusion that conquerors need the worship and awe of the conquered, even if this worship and awe comes from ants, it can meet their psychological needs.
"Quyi is flattering, currying favor with Yuan Jun, is it very unethical for me to do this?" Zhu Chengjun avoided Ming Jing's eyes.
Ming Jing looked at Zhu Chengjun with warning eyes, and said coldly: "If one day I learn that you are doing this for your own selfish interests and sincerely surrender in front of Meng Yuan Tieqi, don't blame me for turning my face and not recognizing people." ”
Turning one's back on one's own nation and culture is to be nailed to the pillar of historical shame.
"Please rest assured, sister, I will never be a traitor." Zhu Chengjun pointed to the sky and swore an oath.
"Let's go inside."
"Sister, please."
Getting Mingjing's trust, Zhu Chengjun was so happy in his heart.
Entering the inner courtyard, Xu Jing, Sun Qi, Chen Xuan, and Han Yue, four female rakshasas, came to see them with swords.
"Fairy Jing."
When the four female rakshasas saw Zhu Chengjun and Ming Jing coming together, they were surprised and a little jealous in their hearts.
"Why are they at your house?" Mingjing asked.
"It's a long story, I'll explain it to you later." Zhu Chengjun looked at the four female rakshasas with a cold gaze, and said in a deep voice: "Fairy Jing is my guest, if you dare to offend, don't blame me for turning my face against your White Lotus Sect." ”
learned that Zhu Chengjun was controlled by others, and Ming Jing also understood that he couldn't help himself.
Zhu Chengjun said to the four female rakshasas: "I'll go over to you later, I have something important to discuss." ”
Zhu Chengjun knew that the heads of a few dog officials didn't play much role, and wealth was the weapon that could best impress the insatiable Mengyuan conquerors. Don't look at the fact that you have made a lot of money, but you don't really save much, knowing that these four female rakshasas hate the rich, Zhu Chengjun decided to satisfy their psychology and let them take people to do some dirty work later, of course they are also willing.
When I came to the backyard, Rui Jinxuan, Lan'er, and Luan'er were doing it in the courtyard.
"I've seen Sister Jing." Rui Jinxuan greeted Ming Jing politely, and then said to Zhu Chengjun in a firm tone: "Husband, after discussing with the two sisters, the concubine has unanimously decided to advance and retreat with you, and live and die together. ”
"Nonsense." Knowing the affection of his wife and concubine, Zhu Chengjun was moved and moved, and he had to be reprimanded.
"You're so unconfident in yourself?" Ming Jing glared at Zhu Chengjun.
Zhu Chengjun glanced at the three girls angrily, and ordered: "Go and get the two wooden boxes in my study, I have important matters to discuss with Miss Ming, you must not eavesdrop, do whatever you have to do." ”
"The concubine obeys." Rui Jinxuan saw that her husband did not object to them staying, and instantly became extremely well-behaved.
After Lan'er and Luan'er put down their things, they simply bowed to Mingjing and retreated.
"What is this?"
"Swords, one for you, the other...... I used. ”
"Keng......" Mingjing pulled out the lighter sword.
The sword is out of the sheath, the cold light is pressing, the frost blade can be broken by blowing, and the sword body is like a square pond overflowing.
"Good sword!" Mingjing is an expert in using swords, and she knows the advantages and disadvantages of the sword in her hand.
"This sword is expensive, did you really give it to me?"
"It's tailor-made for you, who else can you send if you don't send it." Zhu Chengjun was afraid that Ming Jing would not accept it, so he smiled and said, "It should be your reward for protecting Humble Jing." ”
Mingjing's beautiful eyes turned slightly, with a hint of playfulness, "You don't need it, and the other one will be given to me." ”
"Nope." Zhu Chengjun hurriedly snatched the sword and refused to say anything.
"Why?" When she said this, Mingjing was a little daughter.
Zhu Chengjun pulled out a third of the sword body and said in a deep voice: "I plan to take this sword to meet the generals of the Yuan army tomorrow, if something happens, I would rather die under my own sword." ”
Went to the meeting with a single sword, and if the trip was unsuccessful, he would be killed, and Ming Jing was also impressed by Zhu Chengjun's lonely courage and determination.
