Section 31 Bloody War (II)
After carefully telling the story of Gaoyou Lake and Wen'an Zhizi twice, Deng Ming was able to satisfy the excitement of the old superintendent a little. Then Deng Ming took the opportunity to talk about the process and reason for his departure, in Li Laiheng's words, this time the army was sent to sell salt, in order to sell salt better, in addition to selling salt, but also to sell goods, and finally to kill the emperor of the Manchu Qing Dynasty in order to do business.
Deng Ming's timing was very good, Wen Anzhi didn't think it was angry after hearing it, but laughed heartily: "Nonsense, nonsense, it's really sweeping the floor." β
After laughing for a while, Wen Anzhi's expression became stern again, and he retreated Deng Ming's guards and his entourage, and after there were only two people left in the room, Wen Anzhi mentioned the Yiling Declaration again: "Did you borrow this thing from Jianyu?" β
Wen Anzhi's words were very tactful, but Deng Ming was still confused: "Why did the superintendent say this? β
Regarding the Yiling Declaration, Wen Anzhi pondered it privately for a long time, and he also thought in his heart that this was a good way to unite the forces of the Ming army without leading to a big fight. However, Wen Anzhi thought far deeper than Li Laiheng and Liu Tichun, and also came to a similar conclusion to Li Guoying, that is, this committee is somewhat similar to Huang Taiji's Eight Kings Discussion.
After observing Deng Ming for a while, Wen Anzhi was sure that the other party was not cheating, so he considered the words and told Deng Ming about the political system that Huang Taiji had engaged in at the moment of life and death.
"Oh, oh." After Deng Ming listened, he understood why Wen Anzhi had the question just now. Deng Ming imitated the constitutional system of the previous life, with the shadow of the ancient Roman aristocratic republic; And the means used by Huang Taiji to get rid of the downfall is obviously a kind of aristocratic republic.
Although Mrs. Hong is a Tartar, let the old man privately comment on a sentence, he is indeed an unborn masterpiece. It is also strange to say, his father is a wild man, how can he have such a son? This can be regarded as a catastrophe for my China. Wen Anzhi sighed lightly, did not talk more about Huang Taiji, but turned to the Yiling Declaration again: "This declaration will be very harmful to your reputation." β
"Why?" Deng Ming asked in surprise, "Do others think that I am the Hong Tai who learned?" β
"Not because of this, of course, but because this manifesto will end up ruining your good reputation for keeping your promises." At this point, Wen Anzhi has been convinced that Deng Ming came up with this idea on his own, which shows that Deng Ming is also an outstanding person like Huang Taiji, Wen Anzhi is of course very happy: "No one will say that you learn from Hong Tai, because not everyone will be as cranky as the old man." β
Deng Ming pondered for a while, but still didn't understand.
Wen Anzhi sighed softly, he couldn't understand why Deng Ming sometimes seemed very far-sighted, and sometimes very naΓ―ve, he had to make his words completely clear: "You can share hardships, but you can't share prosperity." β
The republic is a means that can improve the cohesion within the group, and even if it is an aristocratic republic, it can greatly improve the efficiency of the country and greatly reduce internal friction. But the classical republic will definitely slide back to dictatorship and imperialism, because of Wen Anzhi's sentence "We can share weal and woe, but not prosperity." When the threat of external invasion is reduced and the country is strong, exclusive power and wealth will be the goal of all those in power, because it is an instinct inherited from one's ancestors.
"Inspector ......" After understanding Wen Anzhi's meaning, Deng Ming wanted to say his insight, but he stopped halfway through the sentence. After listening to Wen Anzhi's words, Deng Ming immediately thought of the overthrow of the Roman Republic. Even though there were many powerful people who checked and balanced each other, when the external troubles were removed, the Roman Republic was replaced by the imperial system, and the consuls became consuls for life. As for the Manchu Qing Dynasty, it was the Huang Taiji generation that almost changed back to the original, in order to get rid of the existential crisis, the Huang Taiji established the Eight Banners Aristocratic Republic, and as the existential crisis continued to decrease, the Huang Taiji destroyed it with his own hands.
China is blessed with the power of being a major player in Asia, and there are no strong civilized competitors around, so there is no need for a republic at all. Especially in the Song Dynasty and Ming Dynasty, with a vast territory, a large population, and a technology and economy far ahead of its neighbors, the country could rely on a very inefficient ** system to maintain its operation - but the end was almost corrupted, and in the end even the sparsely populated barbarians could not be defeated.
In divided and war-torn Europe, the more sparse and barren the country, the more important the authority of parliament tends to be, because there are no more resources to squander than a strong neighbor, and a way to survive must be found. The British king had closed parliament for many years, relying on himself and his loyal servants to implement ** rule, as a result, the treasury was empty, the royal family was in debt, the government was on the verge of bankruptcy, the British king had to reopen parliament, and then was sent to the guillotine; The King had also been in power and lived a good life until the last gold coins were burned by the continuous wars, and the country was de facto bankrupt, before he had to convene the Estates-General and be guillotined...... However, as soon as things turn around, the defenders of the republic will immediately become the destroyers of the republic, which is a different model of the cycle of chaos.
"Born in sorrow, die in peace." Deng Ming said softly, this is his impression of Huang Taiji's system, and it is also the reason why he issued the Yiling Declaration. For the classical republican system, this is also a very appropriate evaluation,
Deng Ming himself has actually become more and more unscrupulous, for example, he once hated Jiang Guozhu and Guan Xiaozhong for sacking Zhenjiang, but now Deng Ming can negotiate with Jiang Guozhu face-to-face without any psychological burden - because no one can punish him, Deng Ming does not need to bear any consequences for his actions except for military defeat. If there was no power to restrain him except morality, he could have tore it up as casually as he signed the Yiling Declaration today, not only Deng Ming, but also other signatories.
Wen Anzhi misunderstood Deng Ming's words, and he thought that Deng Ming's recognition of this declaration was just an expedient measure.
"I may not be able to see what will happen in the future, anyway, it is better than Shenzhou Lu Shen. Besides, Liu Tichun and Li Laiheng were all thieves in the final analysis, even if they died and the clan was wiped out, it was also retribution in a big way. Well, Deng Mingren is kind, maybe he will give them a way to live in the future. Wen Anzhi thought of this, and felt that he had almost said what he should have pointed out, so he didn't plan to continue, but finally reminded: "Your guards are all three walls, right?" β
After asking this sentence, Wen Anzhi said that he wanted to go to the military parade, but Deng Ming did not immediately agree, but said: "Isn't there another one, which will be judged by the superintendent?" β
Wen Anzhi glanced at Deng Ming again and nodded lightly: "Well, that's right." If you dare to go back on your word in the future, this official will never agree! β
After finishing speaking, Wen Anzhi went to the military parade together accompanied by Deng Ming. When walking on the road, Wen An was still smiling bitterly in his heart: "Children have never held power, and they don't know what will become of power after holding it." Sooner or later, one day, what you say is the law of heaven, and I don't know if I'm not there at that time, even if I'm here, how can I influence the heart of heaven? At that time, if I advised you not to kill Li Laiheng and Liu Tichun, and you agreed, it only means that you had no intention of killing them; If you've already made up your mind...... Then it's useless for anyone to say. β
Thousands of Ming troops lined up in front of them to salute the shouts of Wen'an on the city tower.
"Good." Wen Anzhi bowed slightly, praised Deng Mingdao: "The soldiers are well trained." β
After the parade, Wen An ordered rewards, of course, these rewards were also out of Deng Ming's pocket.
"The soldiers are indeed well trained, and now I'm afraid that any general in Yudong is not his opponent." While admiring the cheers of the soldiers, Wen An pondered his thoughts: "Although he has soldiers in his hands, gold in his waist, and even killed the Tartar Emperor, he has not been carried away, and he still knows that he must unite the generals of Yudong, and he does not have a fever to force the generals of Yudong to surrender to him immediately." is so young and knows how to measure, he should be able to be a wise man in the future; After the completion of the great cause of ZTE, it will not kill many heroes, right? β
β¦β¦
"Fight to the end!"
"Fight to the end!"
The sudden shouting around him took him by surprise, he had known Chinese since he was in Beijing, and he had become more proficient in Chinese in recent months, and he understood the meaning of the shout.
"Fight to the end!" The thunder fire beside Fur suddenly jumped up as well, and raised his arms and shouted excitedly.
"What's wrong? Who did you fight with? Fore stood up nervously and looked around, looking for an enemy or a suspicious beacon: "Who is the enemy?" β
"Oh, no, no." Lei Huo explained with a smile: "The bloody battle is a kind of mahjong in our Sichuan. β
"A Mahjong ......"
"Yes, it's fun." Lei Huo told sΓΉ Fuer that this kind of mahjong is that after one person is dead, several other people will continue to play until the last two people decide the winner, and the play is much more tragic than the mahjong outside the Sichuan. Soon after the Zhejiang soldiers arrived in the capital, they were also hooked on this game, but Deng Ming stipulated that they were not allowed to play it during the war. Today, the Sichuan army returned to the safety of Fengjie, and after the parade, Deng Ming announced that they could move freely tonight, and the officers and men of the Sichuan army could have fun except for the guards standing guard. As the first person shouted "fight to the end", thousands of Sichuan troops responded in groups, and the shouts echoed in the sky above Fengjie.
"So you love to play mahjong so much." Faure finally understood.
"It's fun, and you'll love it in the future."
"No wonder you use mahjong tiles as military flags."
"......" Lei Huo was stunned at first, and then jumped three feet high, jumping like thunder: "That's not mahjong!" β
