Chapter Seventy-Four: The Snake Is Really Headless
Chapter Seventy-Four: The Snake Is Really Headless
Warriors in the army generally do not like war very much.
The more recruits there are, the more they like war.
This is a strange phenomenon, but it is a very common phenomenon in the military.
In order to make their army stronger, the veterans will not advise the recruits to reduce their desire to make meritorious contributions, and the recruits always think that the veterans no longer have the sharpness and are not worth talking about.
So, after the war, the recruits will always die a lot, and the veterans will have a very low degree of battle damage.
This may sound like a joke, but it is a common phenomenon in the Lantian Army.
Tuoba Shi's head is not qualified to be made into a wine bowl to dedicate to Yun Zhao to shock the world, so Ma Ping hurriedly divided the five horses of Tuoba Shi.
There was no such punishment in the Lantian army, and Ma Ping risked being punished and did it anyway.
It was still a punishment to be executed in front of all the people of Jishi Mountain.
Tuoba Shi was very calm when he was sent by the Grand Lama, even when he saw his two sons beheaded before him, he had no expression.
When Tuoba Shi's limbs and head were covered with ropes, Ma Ping lit a cigarette and stuffed it into Tuoba Shi's mouth and said, "Why are you looking for death? ”
Tuoba Shi took two puffs of his cigarette, spit out the cigarette roll, and then smiled and said, "The Tuoba clan itself is a royal family. ”
Ma Ping said incomprehensibly: "It has been a thousand years since Tuyuhun died in the country. ”
Tuoba Shi said: "It's not for Tuyuhun, but for the Tuoba clan, if you don't do it, the Tuoba clan will completely become Han." ”
Ma Ping squatted down and looked into Tuoba Shi's eyes and said, "Does being a Han make you so ashamed?" From now on, don't you regret that the Tuoba clan will disappear? ”
Tuoba Shi said: "The Tuoba clan that has become a Han might as well die." ”
Ma Ping stood up and waved his hand, "As you wish." ”
The five sturdy war horses began to exert their strength in five directions, and at the moment when the rope was tightened, Tuoba Shi shouted: "I am not convinced! ”
The voice was extremely poignant, even the war horse that was exerting its strength paused, but under the drive of the sergeant, the war horse exerted its strength again, and a piercing sound sounded, and Tuoba Shi's body was torn into five pieces.
The blood is quickly absorbed by the dry land.
The clerk stood in front of the people and said in the coldest voice: "You should remember that if you rebel, you will be beheaded!" There are no exceptions. ”
The scene was very terrifying, but the people present didn't seem to be afraid, they had seen even more terrifying killing scenes, and they didn't care much about this gentle killing scene in Lantian anymore.
The Registrar was disappointed......
Not only did the Dharma King of Amdo send Tuoba Stone, but also all the people who fled with Tuoba Stone, and not only that, but His Holiness also sent someone to tell Ma Ping that the matter of the human skin drum had nothing to do with them, and that they belonged to a cult to do so, and that their teachings were benevolent, peaceful, and kind.
The young clerk lost his reason to continue accountability.
As much as he wanted to clean the area thoroughly, his ascent did not allow him to act without hard evidence.
However, whether it is Ma Ping or the clerk, both of them know that it takes a generation of efforts to make the people here become living people, not living walking corpses.
A long history of rebellion, rebellion, killing, and looting has changed the way the people live here.
Rebellion, rebellion is a job for them.
It's not that they don't know that the rebellion will be killed, they just simply think that if the rebellion succeeds, they will be clothed and fed, and as for the rebellion and being killed, this is the price of failure, and death is commonplace for them.
Only when they live a stable life for a long time, and only when they can get enough food from the land, will they cherish their lives.
Tuobashi's rebellion was undoubtedly instigated by some major powers.
The clerk even thought that it should be the many lamas of the Amdo steppe.
There is no evidence, and the lamas did things cleanly, even Tuoba Shi himself, who was severely tortured, claimed that his rebellion had nothing to do with the lamas.
The Haixi Kingdom established by Tuoba Shi in Haixi took eleven days from its establishment to its destruction and death.
When Yun Zhao saw the report, the Haixi Kingdom had already perished.
"Everyone thinks Chongzhen is a bully."
Yun Zhao threw the report on the table, somewhat dissatisfied with Han Lingshan for bringing the document so late.
"You're talking to people one by one these days, it's just a small thing, don't worry."
"Let's get ready to expand the army."
Yun Zhao put his feet on the table, rested his head on the back of the chair, and said slowly.
"Your Majesty, the urgent expansion of the army will disrupt our plans, and now Lantian is a precisely running machine, suddenly accelerating, and there are many joints that need to be adjusted.
It would disrupt the plans that we are executing, and these plans are decided through meetings, and each one is important, and there is no need to disrupt the order. ”
Zhang Guozhu looked up at Yun Zhao and still raised objections.
"In the past two years, our work has been a little abrupt, and many things have been done very roughly, just like the current Haixi rebellion, which was completely unexpected by us.
We don't find any signs beforehand, and after the fact, we can only use force to obliterate us, which is not right, we should slow down and let the world go with the course of our work, instead of us going along with others. ”
Yun Zhao said: "I'm not on a whim. ”
Zhang Guozhu heard Yun Zhao say this, thought about it for a while, and said, "Your Majesty, is this going to be completely launched?" ”
Yun Zhao said: "No, I just want to clear the Grass King. ”
Zhang Guozhu said with a smile: "It turned out to be something that had been predetermined a long time ago. ”
After speaking, he summoned his secretary and brought a thick document, put it in front of Yun Zhao to open the paperwork, took out one of them and said: "This is the preparation of grain, this is the preparation of materials, this is the preparation of the conscription group training, and so on."
If Your Majesty needs to know the situation of the army, you have to ask Yun Yang, the big study has already sent some of the documents belonging to the army to the military department that is being prepared, and the secret spy department and the supervision department also have their own auxiliary plans, I believe that Han Lingshan and Qian Shaoshao are also ready.
If Your Majesty is going to start it immediately after the conference, we can sit down together and discuss how to do it.
It's just, Your Majesty, why do you want to start today? ”
Yun Zhao handed Ma Ping's documents to Zhang Guozhu and said, "Because I suddenly discovered that such a thing as rebellion can happen anytime and anywhere. ”
Zhang Guozhu sighed after reading the documents and said: "People's hearts are unpredictable, so Your Majesty is not ready to pay attention to the feelings of the world, right?" ”
Yun Zhao shook his head and said, "It's not just the things in Longzhong that make me disappointed in human nature, but the ideas caused by the accumulation of many things. The heroes of the world want to be emperors, and they all want to sit on people's heads and be powerful.
And many people are willing to be used by them, I think that this process of using land is actually a process of mutual use, and the Ming people have chosen their life goals wrong.
Everyone thinks that they can get the life they want by rebelling, but this is actually a kind of robbery, a robbery.
Perhaps this is their fastest chance to soar, and they can transform themselves from an ordinary person to a new world.
There are not many people who are willing to live well and live a good life with their own hands and wisdom.
This is not right.
We must get the world to reverse this thinking as soon as possible and bring the world back to the right path.
The first thing to do is to get rid of the Grass King! ”
Zhang Guozhu said: "Your Majesty is going to use the army, or is it going to use secret spies to supervise the Second Division?" ”
Yun Zhao thought for a moment and said, "Secret spy, the second division of supervision goes first!"
Zhang Guozhu left, but Yun Zhao fell into contemplation, Li Hongji raised troops to the north the day after he became emperor, and this time his goal was very clear, that is, the capital.
Yun Zhao doesn't know what kind of impact Li Hongji forced Chongzhen to commit suicide on the Ming people, judging from the current situation, the co-owner of the Ming Dynasty is gone, and the Ming Dynasty immediately became a plate of scattered sand.
Yun Zhao learned from his memory that after Chongzhen's death, there were those who resisted, such as Shi Kefa and Li Dingguo, and those who committed suicide such as Fan Jingwen, a scholar, Ni Yuanlu, a scholar of the household department, and others, and more who surrendered to Li Hongji, such as the eunuch Du Xun and the scholar Li Jiantai...... And many more chose to surrender to the Manchus, such as Wu Sangui and so on.
Chongzhen seems to be useless, but as long as it exists for a day, the Ming people still know who they are, and once Chongzhen is gone, the foundation of the Ming Dynasty will not exist.
Just like this time - there are countless grass kings in half a month.
When he looked at the Three Kingdoms back then, Yun Zhao never understood why Cao Cao would support Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty for a long time, why he refused to betray the Han family all his life, and even didn't understand why that era was really called the Three Kingdoms Era after Cao Cao's death.
As long as Cao Cao is alive - no matter which history book calls that period of history - the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty.
What's the point?
Yun Zhao now understands that the reason why Cao Cao forcibly resisted the temptation of power is for one goal - great unification!
Great unification has been Yun Zhao's goal from the very beginning.
Even from the beginning when he had the ambition to become an emperor, he never thought about any bullshit splitting the earth to seal the marquis, to be crowned king, or to tear the earth to become the emperor.
In his subconscious, China should be unified, at least, the map should remain like a rooster.
Only a map of China in the shape of a rooster can be called China.
Moreover, the head, chest, back, tail, claws, and beak of this rooster are all indispensable.
The rooster is fundamental, Yun Zhao doesn't mind making this rooster fatter, even if it is fat like an elephant, in Yun Zhao's eyes, it is still the chicken.
Just like the Bear clan a long time ago, their totem was a snake, and in the process of continuous development of later generations, this snake became the appearance of a dragon.
Therefore, Yun Zhao thought that he should make his voice heard at this time.
Gather the hearts of the Ming people who have been scattered.
