703 The Determination of the Northern Expedition (I)

Sun Chengzong and Fang Shoushi didn't quite understand why Xiao Ruxun lost his mind at this moment, but it didn't matter, they didn't care, they just thought it was a simple loss of consciousness.

However, for Xiao Ruxun, this is indeed a completely different feeling.

Back to the Ming Dynasty, back to this era, Xiao Ruxun saw a lot of celebrities, many loyal ministers and good generals who left their names in history, they were active in their respective fields, fighting for themselves or for the country.

The shamelessness of the literati after the middle of the Ming Dynasty was deeply realized by Xiao Ruxun, and in this era, he deeply felt the shamelessness of the literati group of landlords and gentrification, so that Xiao Ruxun did not believe in the historical reviews they wrote, and the hype of some people, similar to the insincerity and reason of commercial mutual blowing.

And the era in which he lives has not yet reached the turbulent era at the turn of the Ming and Qing dynasties, and more heroes and heroes have not yet appeared on the stage of history.

The current chaos makes Xiao Ruxun unclear which people are truly loyal ministers and which ones are just deceitful and famous.

It is always at the last moment that such a watershed can be clearly presented in front of everyone, the eunuch party is not as bad as the literati say, and the Donglin party is not as self-proclaimed as they are for the country and the people.

There are great traitors and evil people in the eunuch party, and naturally there are people who die for the country, and there are many shameless people who deceive the world and steal their reputation, and the water at both ends of the first rat is too cold, but there are also people who are really righteous and righteous.

There are many people who dare to die.

Among those who died for the kingdom there were also those who did evil deeds.

A shameless person who betrays his family and country may not hide behind people and shed a few tears and scold his shamelessness.

When the water is too cold, they may not toss and turn at night to torture their souls, touch their bare scalps, and slap themselves a few times.

People who die in the festival should not simply be praised because of this kind of behavior, whether they did something before the festival and the righteousness of the relatives and the enemy, buried the original good situation, and sought to be famous after death, but the harm was the entire nation and hundreds of millions of people.

No one can say for sure.

It can only be said that the complexity of human nature makes it extremely difficult to overturn a boatload of people with a pole, and it is really unreliable to explain a person simply by a few words and a few things in the history books.

You don't know when a coward suddenly became a hero, you don't know when a former hero fell, and you don't know when he can offend the bottom line of a traitor, so that he suddenly bursts out and dies for the country, and you don't know when, a sentence touched the heart of a loyal minister, and he descended.

What should these people say?

The more he understands this history, the more reluctant Xiao Ruxun is to judge a living person based on the words in his memory, because he already knows very well that this is wrong, this is groundless, and people are never face-painted.

The more chaotic the era, the more complex people are, and when the dynasty changes, the complexity of people far exceeds that of any other period, and in such an environment, Xiao Ruxun has never doubted Sun Chengzong.

In his heart, Sun Chengzong is not just a hero, he is the backbone of the country, heroes may fall, but the backbone would rather bend than bend, Sun Chengzong practiced this truth with his own life, telling everyone in future generations that he would rather be a ghost than a slave.

Only under the leadership of such a backbone will the Sun family shed its last drop of blood and incarnate into a historical legend that can be sung and cried, and will always be remembered and sung by future generations.

Facing such a person, for some reason, Xiao Ruxun suddenly felt a little weak.

Facing his clear eyes, Xiao Ruxun suddenly had a feeling that he didn't dare to look at him.

Xiao Ruxun himself didn't know why he had this mentality.

But perhaps, he also understands that he knows that he is no longer the anti-Japanese hero who simply wants to fight for the country.

He suddenly didn't want to face this kind of thing.

So he took the initiative to pull away from the topic.

"Fang Gong, at present, the army is trapped to defend Hukou, lack of ordnance and military resources, can not enter the grassland with the northern captives, and retreat can not repair the Great Wall to protect Datong, I don't know if Fang Gong is here, can there be a good way to solve the current dilemma for my army?"

Xiao Ruxun opened the chatterbox, and with a gentle push hand, he sent Fang Shoushi into the spotlight and let him play.

For Xiao Ruxun's clever Tai Chi pusher, an old man like Fang Shoushi, who has been up and down in officialdom for decades, is of course clear.

"The governor has said this, where is the old man's good plan? The old man only has 630,000 taels of silver and some ordnance and weapons for military expenses, and he doesn't know if it is possible to solve the governor's urgent needs? ”

If Fang Shoushi doesn't understand Xiao Ruxun's friendship, it is really Bai who has been in the officialdom for so many years, and he knows very well that he has actual combat experience in border affairs very well, and the important thing at the moment is not the civil and military dispute, but to repel the northern captives and resolve the war as soon as possible.

He did not hesitate to explain what he had in his hands to reassure the army.

Sure enough, after hearing the clear explanation, the generals laughed one after another.

Xiao Ruxun also breathed a sigh of relief and smiled.

"Fang Gong, don't laugh, this war is a war, it is military expenses, it is logistics, I have been fighting here for several months, and I have long been exhausted, if this ordnance and military funds don't come again, I really can't do anything!"

The room keeper bowed.

"Governor Xiao is good at fighting, there are few people in the Ming Dynasty who don't know, the old man naturally believes that Governor Xiao can win, but I don't know how many Bei captives are outside the gate at the moment, and how long will it take to defeat them? In this battle, the court is really a little unbearable.

Governor Xiao shouldn't know that just these silver taels, or Shen Ge Lao copied the homes of corrupt officials and corrupt officials found out in Jingcha, and found out a little silver taels, so he made these together and handed them over to the old man, and let the old man bring them, now is the time to use the money, the imperial treasury is empty, and the finances are weak, if it can be ended as soon as possible, it should be ended as soon as possible! ”

When the keeper said this, the whole camp fell silent.

The generals didn't speak, but shifted their eyes to Xiao Ruxun.

Raided your home?

The speed of the emperor's action was beyond Xiao Ruxun's imagination, but considering that the current war was urgent, it was not impossible for the imperial court, which was in urgent need of silver to raise military expenses, by means of raiding the house, but in this way, it didn't mean his own plan...... Stranded?

Xiao Ruxun pondered the wording.

"Fang Gong also didn't know, this battle was not so easy to finish, the northern captives only came 500,000 at the moment, and more than 100,000 soldiers, all of them were bewitched by the dog thief who pulled Lik, what we saw was 500,000, but as far as I know, it is at the location of the Naturalization City, and there are more northern captives who stop there."

"Huh?"

Fang Shoushi was shocked, and Sun Chengzong was also taken aback.
