Chapter 781 The people can make it, but they can't know it
When the spring breeze blows through the thousands of miles of Kanto, everything recovers, and the warbler flies and the grass grows.
This season is the best time for the people to actively prepare for spring ploughing.
But in recent days, people in many places have not been able to devote their energy to farming at all, but are looking around for news, as if they want to determine something.
In Chenjun, a township, a Confucian student passed by and happened to be seen by a group of farmers.
When this group of farmers saw Confucius, their eyes lit up, and they hurriedly walked closer, saluted, and said in unison: "I don't know where Mr. came from?"
Seeing this, Confucian was stunned for a moment, and replied: "Xiaosheng is from the east, I don't know what advice you have." ”
Seeing the Confucian return gift, the group of farmers immediately hurried, and said in fear: "The villain and others don't dare to be a big gift for Mr., but they have a few questions and want to ask Mr. ”
Confucius smiled slightly, and said gently: "Don't panic, if you have any questions, just ask." ”
The group of farmers said a few words in private, and finally selected a middle-aged farmer, and asked cautiously: "The villain and the others heard that there is another war, right?"
Confucian pretended to be surprised and said, "Hey, has the news come here?"
Many farmers were shocked when they heard this.
Some people panicked: "Is there really going to be a war? What should I do, do we still need to plant this land?"
Someone was angry: "Which damn one rebelled again? Can't you just stop it?"
Someone is sensible: "Excuse me, sir, is the news true?"
Confucian Sheng stretched out his hands, pressed back and forth, tried to reassure everyone, and said: "Don't hide it from everyone, there is indeed going to be a war, but it is not a rebellion, but an uprising." ”
A group of peasant households were at a loss, and the little knowledge they had learned could not tell what a rebellion was and what an uprising was.
Confucian Sheng couldn't help but sigh secretly and explained, "Do you know that His Majesty ordered the killing of Confucian Sheng?"
A farmer subconsciously nodded and said: "The villain knows a little, more than a month ago, the government chased everywhere, and I Zhuangzi went to school to teach Old Master Mo, who was arrested that time. ”
Confucian Sheng said vigorously: "You know that Your Majesty's original intention was not to arrest Confucius, but that he thinks that the land of Kanto is full of thieves and deserves to die." ”
"It's just that it's inconvenient to kill too many people at once, let's just start with Confucianism, and the next step is to kill you. ”
"Destroy the whole clan, and leave no chickens and dogs. ”
The words of Confucian Sheng to kill Teng Teng made the honest farmers hear it, and their faces immediately turned pale and panicked.
Someone said in disbelief: "How can Your Majesty be so ruthless?"
Confucian Sheng sneered at the man and said, "Have you ever served as a conscription? If Emperor Qin was not ruthless, how could there be so many conscriptions assigned every year?"
"Xiao Sheng can clearly tell you here that Emperor Qin has made up his mind, you can either migrate to Guanzhong, obtain a household registration in Guanzhong, and avoid the poison of Emperor Qin. ”
"Either you will resist to the end and fight against the government. ”
Naturally, the farmers were not so easy to deceive, and they shook their heads one after another, expressing their disbelief.
Confucian scholars were not impressed.
Suddenly, an "accident" happened, and a group of cavalrymen wearing Qin State armor, holding Changge, crisscrossed the fields.
When passing by this group of peasant households, a "Qin soldier" suddenly stabbed a person directly with Changge in his hand, hung it on Changge, ran all the way in front, and shouted in his mouth: "You untouchables, if you dare to make trouble, you all deserve to die." ”
The rest of the "Qin State Cavalry" laughed and said: "Haha, damn pariahs, sooner or later, Your Majesty will kill you all." ”
As soon as this statement came out, the farmers present were thorough
The peasants were originally skeptical of what this Confucian said, but now that the "facts" are in front of them, they can't help but believe them.
One of the farmers was stunned for a moment, then knelt on the ground and cried: "Big brother, you died so miserably, my brother will avenge you." ”
……
Pei County, county government.
Liu Ji leaned on the main seat, looked at Zhang Liang, Xiao He, and Cao Shen in a row, and asked, "How is the situation recently?"
Zhang Liang was the first to speak up: "Since the lord wrote a handwritten letter to the Confucian saint, asking the Confucian saint to support the lord, it has only been ten days, and the situation has been greatly reversed. ”
"Now the whole county of Surabaya and Mangdang, as well as half of Chen County, have all fallen into our hands. ”
"Those who took the initiative to join the army, from a few people who signed up a few days ago, have now had 30,000 people, and in a few more years, it will not be difficult to gather 200,000 troops. ”
After saying a few words, Zhang Liang retreated very interestingly and gave up the home field to Xiao He and Cao Shen.
Xiao He would not be humble, and took the initiative to take a step forward and said: "Lord Qi, in the past few days, there have been a lot of families who are interested in taking refuge in the lord. Although they are still small families, Chen believes that they will only get better and better. ”
"In addition, the minister has discovered several great talents and wants to introduce them to the lord. ”
"One of them is named Long Ji, who is very good at the art of war, and is exactly the talent that the lord is in urgent need of at the moment, if the lord is free, the minister will immediately inform him and let him come and meet the lord. ”
Liu Ji glanced at the sky outside the door, remembered the soft fragrance in the bed, and coughed lightly: "It's not too early to look at this day, and I still have to discuss big things with a few people, so it's okay to see you tomorrow." ”
"Is there anything else you would like to say, Mr. Xiao?"
Xiao He bowed and replied, "The minister has finished speaking." ”
Knowing that Xiao He finished speaking, Cao Shen couldn't wait to take a step forward and said: "Lord Qi, a few days ago, Confucianism arranged a large number of disciples to fill the positions of officials in various prefectures in accordance with the promise. Now the two counties of Surabaya and Mangdang, as well as half of Chen County, are all under control. ”
"Now that it is the spring planting season, the next most important thing is to teach the people the skills of cultivation so that they can work together. ”
"After two years like this, the people's will is attached, and they can compete for hegemony in the world, and they retreat to a corner of peace, all according to the will of the Lord. ”
After Cao Shen finished speaking, Liu Ji hurriedly said: "The three gentlemen have worked hard, and Gu must remember it." ”
However, Lone wanted to know what means Confucianism had used to reverse the impression of Lone in the eyes of the people and gain the support of the people. ”
Zhang Liang said in a low voice how Confucianism gained the trust of the people through rumors.
An additional point to emphasize is naturally to spread the word that the Qin Emperor will kill all the people of Kwantung, and only by supporting Pei Gong can there be a way out.
Liu Ji was a little stunned after hearing this: "Such a simple and shoddy strategy, how can such people be fooled?"
Zhang Liang shook his head and said: "The lord's words are wrong, and this plan seems clumsy, but for those ignorant people, it is more than enough. ”
"As the saying goes, three people become tigers, and the Qin Emperor is stronger than the tiger, I don't know how many times stronger, and the people are afraid of it, so they will naturally demonize it. ”
"Ordinary people, basically do not distinguish between right and wrong, how can they tell the truth from the false?"
"Know that the people may make it happen, but they cannot know it. ”
