Chapter Seventy-Seven: Disputes
Cheng Xiaolian coughed: "Today I went down the mountain to the town below the mountain, there are many people in the town who fled from the north, some of them can't even earn a tael of silver a month, but they have to pay a tael of silver, otherwise they can't do business on the street, the owner of the wine shop also said that every time there is a war, it is always them who are unlucky." ”
Zhai Songjin pouted: "Is this because of this?" Those who achieve great things are not informal, what is the sacrifice of some people, is it possible that because of a little human sacrifice, our great cause will not be done? ”
"The national fortune of the Ming Dynasty for more than 200 years may be enough, since the Tang Dynasty, there is a dynasty that has more than 300 years of national fortune? Maybe the emperor of the Manchu Qing Dynasty destroyed Wu Sangui, and the world can return to peaceful days again. ”
Zhai Songjin glanced at him: "Who did you learn from these indecisiveness?" Did Confucius teach you? Let me tell you, we people, day and night, only think of one thing, anti-Qing and Ming, even dreams are anti-Qing and Ming, if you don't want to do it, you can go down the mountain and find a place to hide, we will do the great cause ourselves, and when you become famous, someone will naturally look for you to be the emperor. ”
"Enough, you don't need to provoke me, my meaning is very simple, the people of the world may be bitter enough, I used to think that the rule of the Manchu Qing made the people very bitter, now I understand, if we rebel, it may make the people more miserable, we can pursue our goals, but there is no need to sacrifice innocent people."
"Innocent people? Isn't my father innocent? He just wants to serve the country loyally, but who knows that your Zhu family has taken away all the elites and let him defend the city with a bunch of remnants alone. In order to guard the 140th Mansion of the Ming Dynasty, aren't the soldiers who died innocent? Jiading slaughtered 100,000 innocent souls, isn't it innocent? Aren't 800,000 people in Yangzhou innocent? They died, and the history books didn't dare to write a pen, the land of the Ming Dynasty belonged to the Ming Dynasty, and so did the people who died. These tragedies are caused by your ancestors, and you are responsible for them! ”
Speaking of this, Zhai Songjin took a sip of water: "At first, I also thought that we had no possibility of succeeding in opposing the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty, but after listening to Yang Youcai talk about the things in Jiangnan, I made up my mind, I must put up the banner of the Ming Dynasty, even if it is fought to the last soldier, even if there is only one prefecture and one county, so that those who died know that the Ming Dynasty is still alive, so that they can close their eyes!" ”
Cheng Xiaolian sat on the ground gloomily: "The deceased is gone, and there is no need for people to take their lives again." ”
"I don't have time to talk to you about the suffering of the people, who in the world is not suffering? After Burma came back, I will raise troops, and when the time comes, if you are willing to do it or His Royal Highness Daming, if you don't want to, find a place to go incognito. ”
Zhai Songjin's voice was so loud that it had already been heard outside the house, and the others didn't know what was going on, only that the two people in the room were arguing, and they all held their breath.
Zhai Songjin rolled over the table and strode out, and saw the people outside staring at him: "What are you looking at?" Let's all get to work! ”
Cheng Xiaolian's mind is a mess, he is now a little worried about his identity, if there is no such blood relationship, no matter who says, he will not be involved in this kind of thing, he did have the idea of fighting for the benefit of fishermen with sandpiper mussels at the beginning, but once the war started, a little consequence made him unbearable, and he suddenly found that he thought about the matter of opposing the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty was indeed too simple.
That night, Cheng Xiaolian didn't sleep all night, and when Wang Wu went to look for him the next day, he found that Cheng Xiaolian left a letter and left the mountain, saying that he didn't want others to look for him, he wanted to find a place to be quiet.
Knowing this, Zhai Songjin dropped three teacups in a row, but Yang Youcai didn't care: "I said Lao Zhai, don't care too much about this kind of thing, the reason why I do this business is that a group of brothers under my hands have no place to eat, otherwise who doesn't want to live a small life at home with their wives and children?" ”
Zhai Songjin looked angry: "Everyone else can back down, but his surname is Zhu!" ”
Yang Youcai sighed: "He is still a child, if we are like the Southern Song Dynasty, there is still half of the country left, and he still looks like this, I won't agree, but you and I know that we may be just blindly fluttering, it's not that we didn't do our best, the ancestors in front of us are too bad, and we are powerless." ”
"Aren't you angry? If he doesn't do it, won't all our hard work be in vain? ”
"It's not in vain, you see that I have found such a place for the brothers to settle down, and the people on the Burmese side are almost settled, and if you can't turn back, you can still withdraw there, everyone lives their own small life, what is the difference between the Ming Dynasty and the Manchu Dynasty?"
"Hmph, I don't have anything to say to you, something so big happened, I have to go find Yuan Zonghao."
Yang Youcai sighed: "Maybe that kid is scared, but I still want to tell you that he is right, the deceased is gone." We Jinyiwei have died so many brothers, don't I want revenge? But if you want to take revenge, you have to die more brothers, all of whom are raised by their fathers and mothers, and whose life is worth more than whose life? We exchange the lives of this cottage for our own peace of mind, you touch your conscience and ask, can your heart be at ease? ”
After saying that, Yang Youcai walked out with his hands behind his back, and Zhai Songjin roared loudly: "I used to be a good hunter in the mountains, but you have to pull me down to be a thief, okay, now you have all left it, and it has become Lao Tzu's sin." ”
When Zhang Peng heard this, he hurriedly ran in: "Uncle Zhai, dissipate your anger, don't worry, even if one road goes to the dark, I will go down with you." ”
He knew in his heart that maybe Cheng Xiaolian just couldn't think about it for a while, but if people's hearts were scattered, this team would really be over.
Zhai Songtin ignored him, turned around and walked towards the door of the cottage, he wanted to ask Yuan Zonghao what to do.
Besides, Cheng Xiaolian, coming down from the mountain, has been entangled in his heart, he originally thought that the anti-Qing Dynasty and the restoration of the Ming Dynasty was to conquer the city, as long as he trained his soldiers and used good strategies, he could say anything, but after seeing and hearing about it yesterday, his mood suddenly became a little heavy.
He hadn't seen the blacksmith at all, but he could imagine that if a person couldn't make ends meet for a month, his family would be hungry every day, even if he had a little food, he had to give it to the main laborers of the family, and the world didn't know how many families were starving because of Wu Sangui's army, although he wanted to do great things, he never thought of sacrificing so many innocent people.
Thinking about it, he returned to the town of yesterday, he decided to go and see the blacksmith, he was not a ruthless person in the first place, maybe after seeing the blacksmith, he lost interest in the anti-Qing Dynasty and the restoration of the Ming Dynasty, incognito, and when he was seventy or eighty, he was found out by the court and cut his neck.
