Chapter 60: The Ultimate Wish
Shangguan Jinpeng said: "The development of our people's character has entered a vicious circle, people are becoming more and more sleek, there are fewer and fewer upright people, and integrity and simplicity are no longer accepted by the mainstream. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info no matter who they are, as long as they are a little angular, they will be ruthlessly persecuted by the people around them, until this person also becomes as smooth as them, and is accepted by everyone, which is really a huge tragedy! Fortunately, our nation has not yet reached the point of incorrigibility, and even though the people's will has changed, there are still a few loyal and brave people, and it is they who have pushed our nation forward! Even though they were slaughtered and ridiculed, they did not complain or regret and fought bravely for this nation, so that our nation could preserve the hope of resurrection, and Yue Fei and Yuan Chonghuan were such people. Without these people, our nation would really have slipped into the abyss. A great nation like ours, which has a glorious history, should not develop in this direction, but must turn it back into a simple, simple, upright and courageous nation. ”
Duan Hongyu said: "Fortunately, there are still people like Mr. Shangguan in my country!"
Shangguan Jinpeng said with a smile: "Duan Gongzi said this, but he lifted me up." In fact, with or without me, the world may not be any different. It's just that I feel that I am no longer paying for the world, but for myself!"
Duan Hongyu said, "Oh?"
Shangguan Jinpeng said: "We are fighting for the country like this and going all out for our beliefs, which is not something that those barbarians can experience, and it is the greatest pleasure for a person to do his best for his country and nation!"
Duan Hongyu said: "Mr. is right!"
Shangguan Jinpeng said: "It is precisely because I can't realize my ideals in the officialdom that I fell into the rivers and lakes and formed the 'Moth Army', our army is completely composed of my disciples and relatives and friends, and we all have the same ideals. Therefore, I named this army the 'Moth Army' because it is to give full play to the spirit of bravery, and everyone must have the courage of a moth throwing themselves into the fire! I formed the Moth Army to test whether it is feasible, and from now on, it has been very effective, and the loyalty and courage of our Moth Army are by no means below the Qing army, and it can be said that they are the best in the world. If the hundreds of millions of people of the Ming Dynasty become like my moth army, my Ming Dynasty will be invincible, and it will be impossible to destroy the little Manchu Dynasty!"
Duan Hongyu said: "Since Mr. has such ambitions, why don't you set up your own set of knot like King Chuang, overthrow this corrupt Ming Dynasty, and save the people from fire and water?"
Shangguan Jinpeng said: "Absolutely not. My rule of the army is based on loyalty, bravery, benevolence, righteousness, and faith, and loyalty is the first word, as the leader, how dare I do such an unloyal thing?"
Duan Hongyu said: "The number of Da Ming Qi has been exhausted, everyone in the Zhu family can get it, Mr. took the opportunity to start an incident, what is the reason for disloyalty?"
Shangguan Jinpeng said: "Loyalty is the foundation of morality, if the foundation is messed up, wouldn't it be a great chaos in the world? I killed the Zhu family today and seized the world, and tomorrow there will be the Wang family and the Li family will kill my Shangguan family and take the world again, and so on, the chaos will never end, this is not my original intention of founding the Moth Army." Eventually, it will become a tragic change in people's hearts, and killing will be rampant. A loyal word becomes a trick to fool the people again. As the leader of the Moth Army, I must follow the law by my own example, and I must not do such disloyal things with personal ambition! The reason why the world is so chaotic is because I have the opportunity to be the emperor. If an emperor is overthrown, countless emperors will be born, from the important ministers of the state to the squires and robbers, and everyone wants to be emperors, and there is no change in the world? This kind of behavior of overthrowing everything and destroying everything is really the most terrible thing in the world! As long as we moth army can serve the country, we can let the imperial court transform the country in our way!"
Duan Hongyu said, "Sir, can you be sure that the imperial court will pay attention to your opinions?"
Shangguan Jinpeng said: "As long as our strength is strong enough and loyal to the imperial court, I believe they will adopt it." Just imagine, if our military strength is as strong as Li Zicheng, the government will look at us differently!"
Duan Hongyu said: "But there is no other day, if the Moth Army can really become big one day, it will definitely be suspicious of the government, and it will inevitably be eliminated like a good man in Liangshan!"
Shangguan Jinpeng said: "If our goal has been achieved, the old man will have no regrets even if he retreats bravely!"
Duan Hongyu said: "In the face of the temptation of power, no one can control it, can Mr. Shangguan ensure that he can not be the second Cao Mengde?"
Shangguan Jinpeng sighed: "It's too early to talk about this, it's still unknown whether we can become bigger, but I think if there is a day when I can definitely control my desires, after all, this is my lifelong dream, if I want to be an official, I won't fall into the grass." In addition, I also promised my disciples that I would never be king, and if I broke my promise and did not use anyone else, my disciples would not let me go!"
Duan Hongyu said: "I don't know what Mr. Shangguan's ideal kingdom of heaven looks like?"
Shangguan Jinpeng said: "The most important thing in a country is martial arts and wealth, this is the two legs of a country, and if you lose one, you will be a waste." If there is no strong force, it is like walking in the dark night with ten thousand taels of gold, which is not only not a good thing, but also a great disaster. For example, in the Southern Song Dynasty, if the Southern Song Dynasty was full of beggars, it would never attract foreign invasions, and it was because of the wealth of the world that it attracted the fate of the country. ”
Duan Hongyu said: "Yes, the Southern Song Dynasty is indeed a self-inflicted disaster!"
Shangguan Jinpeng said: "Our country has a wide range of products, far superior to foreign countries, and the only weakness is the lack of force. We must change the rule of culture to martial arts, build the country with the military, and turn the country into a subordinate of the army, and soon we will be able to build up a powerful armed force, and as long as we make up for this fatal shortcoming of our country, we will be able to dominate the world! If we can really realize the establishment of the country by the military, once our country has the strongest martial arts in the world, all the wealth in the world will belong to me, so why worry that the empire is not strong? The people are not rich?"
Duan Hongyu said secretly: "According to Shangguan Jinpeng's plan, the new Ming Empire will be a military empire that is rampant and expanding!"
Shangguan Jinpeng said: "The adoption of this military system can not only enable our country to avoid being conquered by foreign countries, but more importantly, it can change the character of the nation. At that time, not to mention that the Mongols, Qing and Mongols did not dare to eyed our country, they were afraid that they would not be able to avoid it! No country in the world could match China's prosperity and progress, and the Manchu Qing and Mongols would only outrank us in military force, and none of the others would be able to gain the upper hand in war. As long as we have a powerful military force that will never transform, all the problems of today will be solved!"
