Chapter 113: A Fork in the Road of History
Lu Zhe, who was freed, walked out of the building that had been locked up for sixteen days, and what he saw was the Yiling soldiers who also looked embarrassed.
Lu Zhecai didn't care about someone crying and pretending, he pushed away Mengsan, who was wiping his nose with his thighs, turned his head to look at the building behind him, and there were too many things left in the blue-tiled mansion where he had stayed for sixteen days.
After such an incident, he will no longer be him.
"Where's Su Qiao?"
"Back to the military marquis, Su Qiao is also coming back to wait for you, but the new lord of Yiling restricts anyone from leaving the camp and can't come."
"Tell me, has anything happened to Yiling in the past ten days?"
"......, I don't know what to do."
The crying Mengsan had a happy expression, and his own military master was imprisoned too suddenly, which made him confused and scared to death at the same time. He really didn't understand what was going on, he was still fighting against the Baiyue people some time ago, and after winning the battle, he came back to hand over the supplies but the army owner was imprisoned, what was going on?
There are many people who are also puzzled with Meng San, when the news of Lu Zhe's imprisonment was brought back to Yiling by Su Qiao, the people who knew the news were stunned at first, and then showed a confused expression.
That's right, it's just confusion and nothing else, Lu Zhe doesn't have the aura of "lord", no matter who he comes into contact with, as long as he gets along for a second, he will make people surrender and kneel down and say "my lord".
Their lives had just changed for the better under Lu Zhe's series of policies, and too many people had not enjoyed a life in such an order for a long time, and the people who led them back to order so that everyone would be rewarded for doing things were imprisoned for some reason, and they were a little overwhelmed in an instant.
Later, the new Lord of Yiling was appointed, and they just waited silently to see if the captain would continue Lu Zhe's policy, and there was no idea of resisting, resisting, or whatever.
After Baili Qu arrived in Yiling, he didn't do anything at the first time, so there was no talk of changing the policy issued by Lu Zhe earlier, and they were at ease.
Nothing has been done because the new Lord of Yiling has not yet understood the local situation, so there is no way to change it.
Later, Baili Qu found out the local situation, but knowing Lu Dao and knowing Lu Dao does not mean that he really understands what the purpose of that series of management methods is. For example, he criticized Lu Zhe for not knowing how to save when he was short of food, and what to do to let these criminals of the Six Nations do things in exchange for the already small amount of food. He thinks it's a very cerebral thing to do.
In Baili Qu's concept, whether it is a Qianshou or a soldier, it is a matter of course to do things without compensation. This is still the case for the Qianshou and the soldiers, let alone the treatment of these original Six Nations people who are already guilty.
So something happened that frightened the Yiling Southern Xinjiang Refugee Group, the people who were promoted by Lu Zhe earlier to manage the affairs lost their positions, and many of the managers were also locked up for various crimes.
Ren Huan asked Lu Zhe to write a letter back to Yiling, suggesting that the stewards' resistance to Baili Qu was no longer possible to carry out. In fact, when Mu Chun was sent to Yiling, Su Qiao didn't know who Lu Dao should give it to, because there was no so-called steward at this time.
There is no policy of doing things in exchange for eating more, but things still need to be done, and there is no reward, not to mention that the punishment for doing poorly is extremely harsh. Under the management of Baili Qu, it was normal for them to be whipped, and some people were directly beheaded as cholera soldiers because of a slight complaint.
If it weren't for the various benefits when Lu Zhe was in charge, then these people would not have much resentment towards Baili Qu's various behaviors at all, after all, they lived this kind of life before except that they didn't need to work, and they were almost used to it.
However, after receiving Lu Zhe's various favorable policies, the contrast between the two is too great. It was so big that they couldn't accept it, and at the same time, they missed Lu Zhe, the former lord of Yiling, very much in their hearts.
They don't know what white terror is, but they know the adjective "life is better than death".
Nostalgia will only be missed after loss, this is not a lyrical expression of the mood after falling out of love, but a cry from the heart.
Do you want to be a coward for a lifetime or a warrior even for a few minutes? This is not a ridicule in Yiling, but a rebellion that will inevitably occur when the gap forms a stream of resentment.
Baili Qu didn't find it, Lu Zhe, who had lost contact with Yiling for sixteen days, wouldn't know about Lu Dao, and Tu Sui, who was at the top of southern Xinjiang and needed to deal with the overall situation, wouldn't notice it, Ren Huan didn't notice that it wasn't clear ......, a "torrent" was converging in Yiling in just a few days, but it was not clear when it would cause a "burst embankment".
Lu Zhe, who didn't know everything, was learning about the situation of Meng San and the others in Jiangling, and learned that more than 70 people, including Meng San, had not left these days, and he said that it was false if he was not moved. Who doesn't want to have a bunch of people waiting for them when they're unlucky?
The Meng Trinity Gang, who lacked money and food, relied on taking turns begging, and they waited outside the courtyard where Lu Zhe was imprisoned, and finally looked forward to getting people out today.
Hearing Mengsan's story, Lu Zhe was even more moved. It's just that he was confused, how could Ren Huan, who would buy people's hearts, let go of this opportunity and didn't lend a helping hand to help? This doesn't look like a hustle and bustle at all!
Thinking of Ren Huan, Lu Zhe suddenly remembered the poet Beidao's "Answer".
Meanness is the pass of the mean, and nobility is the epitaph of the noble.
Behold, in that gilded sky, floats the crooked reflections of the dead.
The Ice Age has passed, why is there ice everywhere?
The Cape of Good Hope has been discovered, and thousands of sails are competing in the Dead Sea?
I came to this world, with nothing but paper, ropes, and figures, in order to read the voices of the condemned before the judgment......
I will think that this "Answer" does not want to use this poem to eulogize Ren Huan, but to think of "the pass of the despicable, and the noble is the epitaph of the noble." This sentence.
During this period of detention, Lu Zhe thought a lot and drew some judgments from a lot of details, including the "despicable one" Ren Huan will soon set up a tombstone for Tu Sui, who does not know whether Lu Dao is a "noble person".
Relying on this speculation, Lu Zhe decisively chose to take sides, he really didn't know that Ren Huan in the history of the Dao did create an opportunity for the Baiyue natives to sneak attack Tu Sui, causing the commander of the southern Xinjiang of Great Qin to die under the poisonous arrow of the sneak attack in the first year of his tenure.
But then again, if he knew the history of the Dao, he would not have come to southern Xinjiang, but would have asked the Xu family to help stay in northern Xinjiang.
Compared with the strong Northern Xinjiang Army, the Southern Xinjiang Army is simply refugees except for the elite of 50,000 Guanzhong. Lu Zhe has always wanted to climb up the army in order to gain the capital to survive in troubled times, and obviously the foundation of the Southern Xinjiang Army is really too fucking thin!
Deeply feeling that Lu Zhe, who should treat and compensate these loyal subordinates, he raised his arms and shouted: "Don't go back today, find a place to freshen up first." I'll take you to a good meal! ”
History is written by countless accidents, and if Lu Zhe had gone back to Yiling that day, then some things might not have happened. However, history does not exist if, some people in Yiling are also waiting for the opportunity to raise their arms, but instead of eating, they riot!
