Chapter 108: The Secrets of Mencius and the Civil Officials (1st Update)

"Bang!" You Tianjue let go of the Japanese who came to negotiate.

Then, he shouted, "Da Ming doesn't make deals with brutes!"

The would-be man turned his horse and fled.

You Tianjue is a little-known person. Hereditary suppression like him, the Ming army grabbed a lot of them.

But You Tianjue is in southern Fujian, and he is an out-and-out big man. Because he can fight! It can be called a small expert in killing Japanese in southern Fujian.

Although You Tianjue is only twenty years old, he has been guarding Yongning for four years. Under his command, Yongning Wei Pao Ze killed at least 3,000 Japanese pirates.

Minnan Haimi, whether it is a real or a fake Japanese, all know such a sentence: "Ding Zhan Ding Zhan, don't commit Yongning".

The Japanese are not the official army of the Japanese state. In their eyes, robbery is like doing business. You can't do a loss-making business.

Storming Yongning is obviously not a good business.

So they brought down more than 100 women from the Hachiman ship.

The women were dressed in Han clothes, all of them were disheveled, and they had ropes tied to their hands.

Judging by the situation, it should be a Han woman who was taken away and humiliated by the Japanese invaders.

The Japanese came to the city of Yongning again and shouted, "These more than 100 women are all sisters of your Han family."

"Toyoshi-sama said. He was willing to exchange these more than 100 women for the Seagod Pearl. I'll give you two moments to think about it. If you don't change it, the women will drip and die!"

The new bargaining chips of the Japanese invaders led to a dispute on the city walls.

Li Guangdao: "The Sea God Pearl is a gift from the emperor. How can you exchange it for more than a hundred lowly women?"

"It must not be changed."

Chang Feng said, "I have personally guarded the emperor in the East Palace for more than eight months. I know that the emperor is a benevolent king. If the emperor is here, he will definitely change."

"No matter how precious the Poseidon Pearl is, it is just a bead. On the other side, there are a hundred lives."

"The emperor will definitely choose to save the people and give up the jewels!"

Xu Fatzi said, "What Chang Ye said is right. It's important to save people."

Zhang Heling and Zhang Yanling have always regarded Chang Feng's words as holy decrees. The two hurriedly echoed: "Yes, yes, yes! My eldest brother Chang is right!"

"Yes, yes, yes! Li Guang, you have to listen to my eldest brother Chang."

The four deputy envoys agreed to the exchange. One of the deputy envoys did not agree to the exchange.

The choice seems to have fallen into the hands of Yang Tinghe, the envoy.

Yang Tinghe said meaningfully: "The people are precious, the community is secondary, and the monarch is light."

Unexpectedly, Li Guang sneered: "Fuck the people are precious."

Yang Tinghe Zhengse said, "This is the words of Yasheng. Gonggong Li should not speak disrespectfully and insult Yasheng."

Li Guang glanced at Yang Tinghe: "It's really true that Ben Bingbi doesn't have any knowledge in his stomach, right?"

"Isn't that what Mencius said? Let me ask you, why did Hong Wuye move the Mencius tablet out of the Confucian Temple in the first place?"

Yang Tinghe Yu Sai.

Li Guangdao: "You don't dare to say it. I'll tell you for you! Mencius was a member of the Warring States of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. Eastern Zhou is also Zhou."

"There are two kinds of people in the week. One class of countrymen, one class of savages."

"The people of the country live in the city, and they have status, property, and literacy. To put it bluntly, the people of Zhou are the gentry of today."

"Savages live in the countryside, illiterate, and have no status. To put it bluntly, the savages of Zhou Shi are poor people."

"At the time of Mencius. Only the people of the country are counted as citizens. The poor are not counted as the people!"

"You fool Ben Bingbi with Mencius's words? Bullying Ben Bingbi who reads less? The original meaning of Mencius's words was that the gentry are precious!"

"Liu Bowen, those civil officials from the gentry in eastern Zhejiang, used Mencius's words all day long to suppress Hong Wuye and protect the interests of the gentry. Can Hong Wuye not let Mencius get out of the Confucian Temple?"

"As you say, the people are precious. Those women outside are not citizens at all! It's not expensive!"

Yang Tinghe was dumbfounded. What Li Guang said is actually the truth that everyone in the civil service knows it, but everyone does not want to say it explicitly.

In the 120 years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, generation after generation of civil officials have been fighting all day long

Under the guise of "the people are precious", the interests of the gentry are safeguarded.

Chang Feng was amazed by this subtle point. But he knew that with Li Guang's knowledge, he would never be able to figure out such a shocking viewpoint.

Chang Feng asked, "Gonggong Li, where did you hear these words?"

Li Guangdao: "This is what my father-in-law said when I was on an errand under Gonggong Wang!"

Wang Zhi is an understanding person.

Chang Feng insisted on his opinion: "What does it matter to Mencius or Confucius. Human lives matter. Compared to more than a hundred lives, what is the Poseidon Pearl?"

"If the emperor is here, he will definitely change!"

Chang Feng never expected that at the critical moment, You Tianjue would actually stand on Li Guang's side.

You Tianjue said, "You are superior, some of you know the emperor. Some know Meng Sheng."

"But none of you know about the Wakos!"

"Do you really think that if you give the Wako beads, they will keep their promise and let those women go?"

"You don't know how shameless the pirates are! Talking about honesty with the Japanese is like seeking the skin of a tiger!"

"When the time comes, the Poseidon Pearl will be gone. These women will still be taken back to the kingdom by them, and they will be humiliated and killed!"

Chang Feng and the others looked at each other.

You Tianjue said: "In the southeast, it is not once or twice that the Japanese have used the captive Han people to blackmail the Ming army."

"Today they took more than a hundred women to blackmail us into handing over the Sea God Pearl, and we gave it. Tomorrow, they will kidnap hundreds of thousands of Han people to come here, so that we can get out of the city?"

"Trading with beasts will only bring more people to the next level!"

"The last general agrees with Gonggong Li's point of view. Absolutely not!"

You Tianjue's words were deafening.

Chang Feng didn't think about this layer, and Yang Tinghe didn't think about this layer either.

Qin Chazheng made Yang Tinghe make a decision: "Okay. We listened to Gonggong Li and You Zhenfu."

At this time, dozens of widows even demonstrated, escorting more than 100 poor women to the city.

The Wako shouted, "Haven't you thought about it yet? If we don't give us the sea god pearl, we will cut off the heads of ten women for every pillar of incense!"

You Tianjue gritted his teeth and gave a military order: "Archer, release the arrows!" Help those Han sisters...... End the pain!"

The archers had solemn faces, set up arrows, pulled strings, and released arrows.

"Whoosh!" A dense rain of arrows covered the sky and swooped down on the women.

The base camp of the Japanese invaders on the opposite side.

When the leader of the Japanese invaders, Higashihachiro, saw this scene, he shouted hysterically: "Ant, siege!"

Two thousand pirates launched an attack on Yongning City. They fired their guns and bows and arrows at the city, alternately covering their advances.

You Tianjue shouted, "Brothers! It's time to kill the enemy and get a reward! Kill!"

Chang Feng asked Xu Fatzi to protect Li Guang and the Zhang brothers under the city wall.

Then he boosted his morale among the brocade-robed robes: "Brethren. It's time for the Wako to taste the power of our royal army!"

"Don't be a seed! Don't embarrass the emperor!"

Among the three hundred brocade guards, two hundred were armed with long knives.

The remaining 100 were honor guards. In his hand is a gourd, a horse, an axe and other ceremonial weapons.

These ceremonial weapons have been passed down in the Ming court for more than a hundred years. Today is finally going to see blood on the battlefield.

"Boom, boom!" "Whoosh!" "Bang bang bang!"

Cannon pellets, bows and arrows, and guns were fired intensively at the Japanese to avenge the more than 100 women in the city.

The Japanese robbers carried siege ladders, pushed the carts that hit the gateposts, and desperately rushed to the Yongning Acropolis.
