Paragraph 42 Hot and cold
After the sun showed its head, the sky and the earth brightened, Zhang Wen noticed that Han Amei's cold face was full of exhaustion, I was afraid that she hadn't closed her eyes all night, and the group continued to march west.
"Zhang asked......" Han Amei suddenly shouted.
Zhang Wen turned her head and looked at Han Amei's face, she frowned, and she didn't say anything for a long time. Zhang Wen asked, "Which class of people is the Ming Sect going to woo?" ”
"What?" Han Amei looked at Zhang blankly and asked, "Who is Mingjiao trying to woo?" Naturally, we are killing corrupt officials, helping the hungry, and practicing the way of heaven! ”
Zhang Wen shook his head and said, "You won't always rely on those hungry people, right?" Shenggu should also have read the book, throughout the ancient and modern times, how many pure peasant uprisings have come to fruition? It's all about messing up the world, and then making wedding clothes for others. If this problem is not understood, it is impossible for Mingjiao to become a big thing, and it will fall sooner or later! ”
It may be that Zhang Wen said it too ugly, and Han Amei said angrily: "The success or failure of the Ming Sect, how can you have the final say!" ”
When Zhang Wen saw that she was angry, he shut up.
After a while, Han Amei breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I'm not a person who is stubborn and can't listen to advice, what advice does Lord Zhang have, might as well come and listen to it?" ”
Zhang Wen smiled and said, "Although my suggestion is simple, not everyone can understand it. ”
Han Amei said: "What is the sale, then don't say it quickly!" ”
Zhang Wen thought for a moment and said, "Actually, I'm helping the enemy, not to mention that the war I'm facing now has nothing to do with these things...... It's useless to think too far, my suggestion is: you must find a relatively powerful class, and then unite with each other, you represent their interests, they fund your talents, military spending, and so on, so that you can be supported and your foundation strengthened. For example, now in our Ming Dynasty, why do so many people defend it and shed blood for it? Because of the same interests, take me as an example, I am on the side of the imperial court, because the imperial court has given me status, given me a large piece of land, and a lot of benefits, so that I can glorify my ancestors in fine clothes, jade food, and glory, it's as simple as that. The Ming Dynasty represented large landowners, and it was a wise choice for the famous gentry to stabilize their own benefits and support the imperial court. And what about your Mingjiao, except for a rabble composed of a group of refugees, who took advantage of the chaos to kill officials and make a fuss for a while, what kind of power do you have? Who supports you? Now the problem is not here, you don't even have a chief general who can lead troops to fight, let alone a large number of strategists and capable men who formulate political and military strategies. In such a situation, how much does Shenggu think it can do? ”
Han Amei's eyes widened, and she looked suddenly enlightened. Zhang Wen's truth is indeed very simple, as soon as he says it, it is like that, but it is really not something that ordinary people can see through. Han Amei was a little emotional, she tried to calm her emotions and asked, "Then Lord Zhang thinks that we can win over anyone?" We have killed so many landlords and heroes, can they believe us? ”
Zhang asked and smiled: "It's not simple, isn't Shen Biyao close to you?" What kind of person is Shen Biyao, a pure businessman! You have a few more Shen families, this doesn't need money and money, but talent and talent? In addition to officials and businessmen, there are also a large number of businessmen in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and there is no guarantee for their net worth and life in "Da Ming Law", once they violate the government and Haoqiang, they can only let people eat meat, and Shen Wansan of the former dynasty is a good example! Therefore, smart businessmen are spending a lot of money to make friends with powerful people, or trembling with their tails between their legs, and they will never show off. At this time, you have soldiers in your hands, dare to fight and kill, as long as you formulate some political strategies to protect the legal status of the merchants, the hearts of the merchants will be completely inclined to you. Maybe you will secretly and willingly provide a large amount of talent and financial support, hoping that you will win the world and let them raise their heads to be people. That's what people want, it's very simple. ”
Han Amei looked excited, couldn't calm down for a long time, looked at Zhang and asked: "Lord Zhang, as far as I know, it won't be easy for you to return to the imperial court now, since you have such insight and talent, why don't you stay and help us and achieve great things together?" ”
Zhang Wen shook his head and said: "The world is unpredictable, everyone has rebelled if it is really so successful." Besides, what's in it for me to help you? As I said, helping you now is to get yourself out of trouble sooner. ”
Later, the two gossiped for a while, and Han Amei fell asleep while talking, she didn't sleep last night. Zhang Wen was also very tired, he was crooked on the slump, but he couldn't sleep.
The sun was rising, Zhang Wen was sweating profusely, he picked up the curtain to blow the wind, and looked at the situation outside, low mountains were undulating, woods were thick, and a hot hill. As Zhang Wen saw from the collected information, there is basically no flat land in this area, all hills and mountains, the climate is hot, which basically belongs to the miasma barbaric land before the Ming Dynasty, and now it has improved, but it is not a good place, the main reason is that the uneven rainfall affects the harvest of the bankers, and the climate is relatively bad.
What Zhang Wen couldn't stand the most was the heat at this time, and he was sweating profusely when he sat without moving. The roof of the car is obviously not insulated, and in the sun, the cabin is like a steamer. Zhang Wen turned his head to look at Han Amei, she was holding her head with her arm, she was already asleep, and she snored softly. The woman's forehead was still covered with beads of sweat, but she estimated that she was used to it, but she could endure it. Zhang Wen's ancestral home is in the north, and he has been to Zhejiang in the south, and he only feels that it is very hot at this time.
I didn't feel anything last night, I was exposed to the sun during the day, it was really hot, the temperature difference between day and night here was very large, Zhang Wen also secretly admired his body and bones, and there were no obvious symptoms of water and soil adaptation.
The carriage traveled day and night, and kept moving along a large road, which was also in terrible condition, very bumpy, and shook people. Zhang Wen looked at this situation, he had no confidence in this war at all, he had no experience in mountain warfare at all, but these Mingjiao people thought he was very powerful.
Boredom and tired, Zhang Wen looked at the trees on the mountain, as the carriage kept moving backwards. It was as if he was watching the defeated soldiers scatter and flee all over the world. Damn, Zhang Wen scolded secretly, feeling very bad about himself.
Zhang Wen closed his eyes and rested for a while, and fell asleep unconsciously. Soon he was awakened by a nightmare in which he dreamed that he had been killed by the rebels in the wilderness, in a place where birds did not lay eggs. Zhang Wen woke up and found that he was alive and well, so he sighed. He sighed in his heart: Alas, how good it is to live!
At noon, they ate some dry food to satisfy their hunger, and in the evening they stopped and began to raise the fire and cook. It's really uncomfortable to eat dry food all the time. Zhang Wen also got out of the car to eat, he looked at the people around him, in fact, only the white-clothed guards were women, and there were still several men, such as the groom and others.
After a bumpy day, Zhang Wen was very uncomfortable with fatigue, so he took the opportunity to eat and take a break. Just after dinner, everyone packed up their things and prepared to hurry, it seemed that they were going to rush overnight.
At this moment, suddenly the people next to him held their necks and fell to the ground one after another, their limbs twitching and foaming at the mouth. Zhang Wen was shocked when he saw it, and blurted out: "The rice is poisonous!" ”
Zhang Wen panicked, but soon saw that he didn't react, and turned his head to look at Han Amei, she, Mu Xiaoqing, and the other two people in white were all standing well. Zhang Wen couldn't help asking, "Holy Aunt, was it you who poisoned you?" ”
