Xiao Ruxun was silent, he found that even if he used the most pessimistic perspective to judge his own way to save the Ming Dynasty, he seemed to be a little optimistic, the sharp edge of the opposition between the emperor and the ministers, the sharp edge of the opposition of social contradictions, and the sharp edge of the opposition of international contradictions, they have reached the peak in the twentieth year of Wanli, and they have begun to burst out of their own strength, the twilight of the Ming Dynasty can not avoid coming, and as a military general, no matter how hard he struggles, it seems that he cannot lead the Ming Dynasty into the right path.

What he has done since he crossed over, is he saving the Ming Dynasty or renewing the life of the Ming Dynasty? Are you a doctor or a witch doctor? Is everything being done an improvement or a wasted effort? Is it possible for the Ming Dynasty to settle disputes peacefully and regain prosperity?

As the saying goes, anything is possible, but is this possible enough for those who have hope to see the light of hope? Xiao Ruxun tried his best to win one victory after another for the Ming Dynasty, and won one sum of silver after another, but in the end, the turmoil in the court still washed away the only joy.

The national war here has just ended, and the political struggle over there has restarted, and it is still so fierce and terrifying, so invincible, as if it is impossible to continue to coexist without distinguishing between life and death.

The emperor wants to regain his power, the ministers want to keep their bottom line, the emperor wants to be the only one, the ministers want the emperor to share the world with the scholars, the emperor wants to take the road of the Ming Dynasty, the ministers want to pull the Ming Dynasty back to the old road of the Song Dynasty, back to the golden age of the literati in the Great Song Dynasty, both sides think that they are right and the other party is wrong, but who is right and who is wrong, at this moment, can it really be distinguished?

When it should be peaceful coexistence and development of local construction, but it is tied to the political struggle, and when it should be harmonious coexistence and looks outward, the brain and hands and feet are fought, and finally half of the body is paralyzed, and no one can solve the problem and settle the dispute as they wish, and in the end, in the afterglow of the sunset of the Ming Dynasty, the last emperor was martyred, and the courtiers who quarreled the most fiercely went to surrender.

Xiao Ruxun always felt that it seemed that from the beginning of Zhu Yuanzhang's establishment of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty was doomed to the road of destruction, the Ming Dynasty's overthrow of the Yuan Dynasty was not a national revolution, but a periodic change of dynasty, the Ming Dynasty inherited too much of the dregs of the Mengyuan Dynasty, although the Han people were liberated, but still failed to embark on the road of the Tang Dynasty.

Zhu Yuanzhang probably wanted to learn from Li Shimin, so he imitated the Tang Dynasty's government military system to make a guard system, but he did not learn the magnanimous and optimistic advantages of Li Yuan's Li Shimin's father and son's character, but he injected the anger accumulated by himself from the bottom to the top into the soul of the Ming Dynasty.

It seems that this anger has not dissipated until now.

Was the demise of the Ming Dynasty predestined? Thinking about it now, it seems that it is indeed true, Xiao Ruxun sadly found that he was too naïve, and he wanted to do something for the Ming Dynasty, but in the end he found that he was an insignificant chess piece at all, only qualified to be put on the political chessboard, and could not see the slightest hope of becoming a chess player.

But if you want to save the Ming Dynasty, you can't not become a chess player, but in such a social environment, as a military general, you are congenitally deficient, and it seems that there is no possibility of becoming a chess player at all.

So what you've done so far, and everything you've planned to do, is it really meaningful?

Five hundred years later, in the era of despair in the last days, everyone could not see hope, and there was a thick dark cloud over their heads, and there was no way out, but now, this era that should be full of hope, why can't there be a glimmer of hope?

Is it worth it?

For the first time since the crossing, Xiao Ruxun asked himself like this, questioned himself like this.

"No matter what, no matter what, the old man will send more people to the capital to inquire about the news, at least before leaving for Beijing, we have to get the exact news of the capital, but don't pick the wrong time, hit the muzzle of the guns on both sides, then it will be a real joke, Ji Xin, what do you think?"

Xiao Ruxun smiled helplessly and said, "So far, what else can the last general say?" Everything is under the orders of Song Gong! These political things, the last general does not understand, the last general just wants to go home as soon as possible to accompany his beloved wife, and no longer care about these annoying things. ”

Xiao Ruxun seemed to be a little disheartened.

Song Yingchang remembered Ye Mengxiong's letter and tried to persuade him, but in the end he was also full of discouragement, unwilling to continue to toss up and down in that whirlpool and struggle to survive.

After thinking about this, Song Yingchang seems to really yearn for such a paradise life, and he doesn't want to participate in government and military affairs anymore, and he is intriguing with others all day long.

He seems to have retreated.

Sometimes, the old man is also thinking that instead of continuing to fight with others for power and profit, it is better to go back, retreat bravely, return to the township, spend his old age with his family, make fun of his grandson, enjoy the joy of family, no longer worry about national affairs, no longer have a headache and brain fever for ordnance and military rations, no longer think about dealing with the relationship between various factions and departments, and no longer think about what to do if he can't complete the emperor's order.

In the past few decades, the old man has dedicated most of his life to the Ming Dynasty, for the Ming Dynasty, not to mention birth and death, it is also exhaustive, I wanted to make meritorious contributions to seek peace in the country, but I never thought that after the meritorious service went back, it intensified the contradiction between the monarch and the minister, so is it meaningful for the old man to do all this? The old man has done too much for the Ming Dynasty, but he can't see any hope until now, the Ming Dynasty is gloomy, and the chaos is everywhere, but the old man has no way! Ji Xin, should the old man really go back? ”

Xiao Ruxun suddenly remembered Tao Yuanming's poem.

After being in the cage for a long time, you can return to nature.

If you get out of the world, no longer care about those mundane things, return to your hometown to live a peaceful and stable life, read books, write articles, tease your grandchildren, share the joy of family with your family, don't worry about food or clothing, have nothing to do with your friends to drink and chat, find a small fish pond to fish for recreation, eat, drink and have fun, and no matter the flood, isn't it a fairy-like day?

Calculate the time, I am twenty-three years old, calculate the life span of the Ming Dynasty, there are still fifty-one years, if nothing else, by the time Chongzhen is seventeen years old, seventy-four years old, the life span of his life is probably like this, what else can I ask for?

Resigned and went into hiding, left the Central Plains with the rewarded gold and silver to settle in the land of Lingnan, or even to settle on Hainan Island, and when the Jiashen Kingdom changed, if he was still alive, he would take his descendants abroad, to Korea, to Japan, or to a certain place in the South Seas, and if he died, he would leave a will to his children and grandchildren, so that they would not be Manchu Shun people, and leave Middle Earth to settle abroad.

You can't save Daming, you can't save the world, at least, you can save your family-at this moment, Xiao Ruxun really had such a thought in his mind.
