"Prince, the place where Yushui enters the sea has arrived!"

Hefu stepped out of the cabin and saw the gap between the turquoise land and the blue sea.

After half a month of sailing, they finally crossed the "South China Sea" from Fujian to Guangdong.

The Pearl River Delta, the most prosperous area in China, with housing prices higher than the sky, is now a wilderness. In Heifu's eyes, the estuary is like the Amazon, full of rainforests and mangroves, and large crocodiles that look like driftwood float up to the water, and after a glance at the fleet of ships that cover the sky and the sun, they burrow back into the water with interest.

Because the land reclamation has not yet been completed, it is impossible to distinguish where the river is and which is the sea, and many areas in later generations are still in the sea, and Zhongshan, Macao, and Zhuhai are a large island. The boatman passed by the right side of the island, weaving between broken sandbars and islets to avoid dangerous reefs.

When the fleet reached here, it was found that although it was wild, it was not virgin land - the Yue people had been cultivating rice here thousands of years ago. South Vietnam is vast and sparsely populated, slash and slash water, generally two fires, burn once in spring, burn again in another place after autumn, wait for the trees to turn into white ground, and then pour water into it, and mix it with grass and wood ash, it is the best fertilizer. Sow seeds at will, without intensive cultivation, you can get the harvest, although the yield per mu is far less high than the Central Plains, but can not withstand the hot weather, two crops a year.

So the further inland you go, the more you can see the rice fields on the coastal plain in the distance, as well as the dry stilt houses of the South Vietnamese people.

At this time, the Yue people who were surrounding the kapok skirt and harvesting rice in the field saw the huge building boat like a mountain killed, and they all stood in the field dumbfounded, until the Qin soldiers landed on the shore, and then hurriedly fled......

"Have you seen the ships of the South Vietnamese?"

Heifu asked his nephew Wei Yang.

"It's also strange, not a single one has been seen."

Wei Yang was a little surprised, he heard that the "Jiaobu" living near the mouth of the sea is famous for its large number of ships, and its water power is no less than that of Minyue, but the boat master has sailed here, why don't they come to meet it?

Heifu knew why: "I have ordered Gongao and others, with tens of thousands of troops from the Wuchang battalion, to arrive at Sihui via Beijiang Road, set up camp, build ships, and look like they want to cross the river and the sea to attack." All the ships and young men of the Yue tribes in this vicinity went to Sihui to obstruct the Qin army, and in this coastal area, only the old and weak women and children were busy cutting rice......"

In the last Qin-Yue War, the Yue people avoided the war by two means, one was to bully the Qin people who were not good at fighting in the mountains and forests, and fled into the deep mountains and old forests, and the other was to bully the Qin people who were not accustomed to water and rowed to the island. But no matter what it is, enough food is needed, and the Yue people plan to drag it out, wait for the late rice to be harvested, turn it into grain, and then take it to escape, otherwise they can't feed the whole population just by fishing and picking fruits and hunting.

But they never imagined that there were two Qin armies, openly attacking and secretly crossing, like divine soldiers descending from the sky, coming from the sea - because the news was blocked, they didn't even know that their neighbor Minyue had been taken by Heifu.

Heifu ordered Wei Yang to raise the banner and let Ren Huan, Dongmen Leopard, Wu Rui and other generals come over for a meeting.

"After four meetings, Yushui was divided into three rivers into the sea, so the army should also be divided into three, each going one, but whenever it encounters the Yue villages, strongholds, it will send the land division to capture, capture its old and weak women and children, and the boat division will go straight to the four meetings, and when the young and strong boats of the Yue people gather, they will be annihilated in one fell swoop! It's all in one battle! ”

This is Heifu's plan, so that the most powerful Jiaobu and Yang tribe in South Vietnam can be wiped out in one battle, saving them from running to the forest island to fight guerrillas!

After the generals agreed to go, they were ordered to carry thousands of people to raid the hometown of the Yue people, but Wei Yang, who had kidnapped his old and weak women and children, came to find Heifu, and he stopped talking......

Heifu immediately guessed what his nephew, who had experienced the battle formation, but because he was too smooth, did not know the sinister world was thinking.

"Do you feel disgusted with what you're going to do?"

"I don't dare, I just think that I'm afraid I'm more willing to fight with the main force of the Yue people than ...... Instead of attacking the elderly, the weak, women and children. ”

Wei Yang is indeed a little hesitant, he has joined the boat division for several years, and he has only fought a battle to destroy Canghai Jun, which is a punishment for plotting against thieves, and there is no excessive killing.

At the moment, Heifu unabashedly asked him to do something similar to that only robbers and pirates do, and Wei Yang was a little difficult to take over for a while, feeling that this was not what a "righteous teacher" should do.

Heifu was a little more patient with his family, he asked Wei Yang to sit down, and stopped Lu Jia, who was about to slip away:

"Lu Sheng, come here, can you tell us the story of Song Xianggong?"

Lu Jia had no choice but to stand still and talk about the Spring and Autumn past......

Therefore, Song Xianggong refused to take advantage of the Chu army to cross the Hongshui halfway and attack, saying, how can we take advantage of the fact that we are known as the army of benevolence and righteousness, how can we take advantage of others to cross the river and attack. Then, he allowed the Chu army to arrange the troops, and the two sides fought head-on, but Song Xianggong was defeated and was shot in the leg by the Chu army, but he also said, I am a gentleman, I am not seriously injured, I don't capture Ermao, this is the teacher of benevolence and righteousness, how can I do this to take advantage of the danger and stifle the danger? ”

Speaking of this, Lu Jia paused slightly: "But Song Xianggong's brother Ziyu said that soldiers take victory as merit, and both sides do everything they can, where will they pay attention to the way of a gentleman......

Heifu looked at the thoughtful Wei Yang: "What do you think of Song Xianggong and Ziyu, who is right?" ”

"Ziyu is right, soldiers, treacherous ways, to win for merit, as a general, you can't have the heart to bear......" Wei Yang was a little ashamed, he actually doubted the order of his middle father.

Heifu said: "It's not that I don't want to be a gentleman and let Qin Jun be a teacher of benevolence and righteousness, but because this is war." The Yue people do not have permanent soldiers, but it can also be said that all the people are soldiers, since the first time the Qin army went south, the war is not limited to the soldiers on both sides, those old and weak women and children, are also extremely fierce and brave, even if they are half-grown children, they will use bows and arrows, swords, and wooden sticks to plot against the Qin army, if they are allowed to escape, there will be endless troubles. ”

He patted Wei Yang, asked him to let go of his knot, and went to prepare for departure, and said with a smile:

"Moreover, I don't want you to kill them, as long as you lay down your arms and stop resisting, you can spare their lives, drive them to finish cutting the rice, take them together, and go to Panyu to join me."

What should I do with it after I go to Panyu? Heifu didn't say anything.

After Wei Yang agreed to leave, Heifu stood on the boat with his hands in his hands, and suddenly asked Lu Jiadao:

"Lu Jia, Confucianism pays attention to 'education without class'?"

"Yes, this is the words of Confucius, sex is similar, Xi is far away, only the superior knower like the prince and the marquis are not moved to the inferior fool who can't distinguish the wheat, as for the ordinary people like us who live in the middle, their wisdom and foolishness can be changed through education." Lu Jia should be careful.

"Those Yue people."

Heifu pointed to the tattooed people on the shore who were tied to the rope by the Qin pawn: "Can they also be educated?" ”

"This ......"

Confucius didn't say yes, only emphasized the defense of Huayi, but Mencius seems to have made similar remarks.

Although he didn't like Lao Meng, Lu Jia thought for a while and said: "Since there were people who used to change Xia in ancient times, there were also some sages among the barbarians and Rongdi, and they should also be able to be educated." ”

Hefu said, "Oh? Can you be a cannibal Yidi and become a person of China? ”

Lu Jia hesitated: "There is the beauty of uniforms, and there is etiquette, so it is called Xia...... It's a bit hard. ”

Heifu looked at Lu Jia, who was full of uncertainty, and said with a smile: "I don't require the beauty of uniforms, after all, after arriving in Yuedi, even me and my four thousand short soldiers are all in unison, it doesn't matter if you understand etiquette or not, like us, these military men, the head of the field, where do you know what etiquette?" ”

"But we do know that we are Chinese people, Qin, Chuyan, Han, Zhao, Weiqi, and the people of the Seven Kingdoms in the past were hostile to each other, but they all regarded themselves as Zhuxia."

Although this understanding is still the preserve of intellectuals and aristocrats, this wonderful sense of identity is also the internal cause of the unification of the Seven Kingdoms.

Heifu didn't want to discuss this issue in depth with Lu Jia here, so he directly explained his plan: "When you were in Minyue, didn't you suggest that you carry out indoctrination in the local area?" I rejected it there, but here, in South Vietnam, in Panyu, I would love for you to try it! ”

He stretched out his hand, as if to take the land into his pocket.

"I will take away the old and weak women and children of the Yue people, and take their children from the arms of those mothers, the boys......"

This is undoubtedly a very evil thing, but in Heifu's mouth, it seems to be doing a great good deed.

"I want to tell the Yue people that I will not turn their children into slaves, let alone eat the children of the enemy like the South Vietnamese tribes fighting and killing each other......"

Heifu said with a smile: "I want to send someone to educate them, so that when they grow up, they can understand Xia Yan, and in another ten or twenty years, one generation, two generations, and finally use Xia to change Yi!" ”

It's a noble statement, but in reality? Hefu knew very well that the so-called civilization was nothing more than a thin cloak to cover up the bloodstained barbarism.

Lu Xun said that there are two eras in history: the era when you want to be a slave but can't, and the era when you temporarily stabilize a slave.

Heifu doesn't know what kind of person he belongs to now, and he can't be sure that in the future, with his own efforts, this world, at least the Central Plains, will sublimate into an era when adults can be human......

But he at least knew that there were two kinds of slaves.

"Slaves who won't listen."

Heifu shook her head at the Nanyue woman who tried to bite off Qin Shu's ear after being pressed down on the shore, and then turned her head and looked at the Yang Yue and Ganyue people who helped the Qin people row boats from Yu Zhang and Wu Rui, this group of poor guys who were rough and easy to speak, with blank faces and shaking the oars, sighed:

"And obedient slaves!"
