After listening to Wang Han's complaints, Deng Ming said without thinking: "Quickly untie General Wang." ”

This sentence made the party guard Su Leng pause, and all kinds of things he had seen and heard since the expedition had completely distorted his understanding of the war, among which last night's melee was the most obvious one. Now Deng Ming actually ordered the loosening of the tie because of the words of the enemy general...... When Dang Shousu listened to Ren to comment on the story, he heard from Mr. Storyteller that he would rather die than give in, but the enemy instead loved and cherished talents -- but every time he heard this paragraph, Dang Shousu scoffed, as far as he knew, desperately begging for mercy might not be able to live, and those who would rather die than give in must have only a dead end.

Unexpectedly, the legendary Zhang Feiyi explained Yan Yan to appear alive, Dang Shousu was surprised and puzzled, and secretly asked Li Laiheng beside him: "What is this guy like Yan Yan?" ”

Yan Yan is highly respected in Shuzhong, there are many old departments, and Zhang Fei is trying his best to promote General Zuo's benevolence, there is such a special reason, the party can barely understand it - besides, it is also a public statement, maybe there are many secrets in private. What do you think of Dang Shousu, this Wang Han has nothing to buy, last night's battle was not enjoyable, and the other party also knew each other very well and stopped resisting, just now after Wang Han was tied in, Dang Shousu still thought that he could finally see the head of the murderer.

"Yan Yan?" Li Laiheng asked softly, now Deng Ming will put together such a large oval table every time he camps, and the alliance will sit on an equal footing on this table for deliberations or meals. Although Dang Shousu was curious, Li Laiheng was already familiar with it, and out of his understanding of Deng Ming, Li Laiheng immediately made a judgment: "Admiral Deng is not a righteous interpretation, and he was not released for a few bold words at all." ”

"Why is that?" Dang Shousu was even more strange, he turned back to look at Wang Han again, and at this time the Ming soldiers had already untied the two ropes. Dang Shousu didn't think there was anything special about this general, and he didn't look like a great general, so he leaned over again and whispered to Li Laiheng: "Why does the Admiral value him so much?" ”

"Probably because I heard that bond." Li Laiheng said casually, he was knocking melon seeds, and now when Deng Ming has a meeting, he will put tea bowls and snacks such as melon seeds and peanuts for the participants at the oval table. Li Laiheng liked this mode very much, he glanced at Dang Shousu, who was not very accustomed to this atmosphere, so he ate very slowly, Li Laiheng intended to divide the party and keep vegetarian after eating his share - but after weighing it, Li Laiheng felt that it was better to go and take the things of the Cao Yunqing generals on the other side, today the Ming army sat on one side, and the Qing army sat on the other side, just like a negotiation posture, but the people on the opposite side trembled one by one, and no one dared to touch the things in the small plate in front of them - except for Lin Qilong, On the other side of the oval table, shaking his head and drinking tea, eating melon seeds, he seemed quite relaxed.

When the soldiers untied Wang Han, Deng Ming inquired and found that the Qing generals attending the meeting more or less had Sichuan's Ming War bonds, and after Wang Han inexplicably obtained zìyóu, Deng Ming revealed the mystery: "General Wang, I didn't release you because of your identity as a Qing army general, you fought against Wang Shi, it is said that there is only one way to die, but you bought the Ming War Bonds, so in my eyes, in addition to being an enemy general, you also have an identity as a supporter of the empire, so you will get the emperor** Courtesy of the team......"

Dang Shousu raised his head and listened carefully, his eyes widened, and the incomprehension in his heart was no less than Wang Han, and Li Laiheng was still drinking tea with his head down, and when he heard this, he calmly showed off to Dang Shousu: "I have already sued you." ”

"Last night's unauthorized action of your army was unacceptable to the emperor's ** team, why can't you get our permission to rob the grain and silver of the Qing court? Because you are against our interests! Wang Han had already sat down, and Deng Ming walked to the section of the long table and explained loudly to the Qing army generals, he stretched out his first finger: "First of all, if there is no Ming army, that is, the eastern crusade of the emperor's ** team and the Kuidong army, the Qing court's control in the southeast is very stable, and the Qing army has no chance to rob Caoyun; The Qing army did not intend to share the benefits with us, and the imperial ** team and the Kui Dong army made great efforts in it, so this behavior of the Qing army was unacceptable. ”

"Why aren't we the Emperor ** team?" Dang Shousu asked Li Laiheng in a whisper again, although he hated being called a thief or a rogue, but Dang Shousu had long heard that the word empire was equivalent to a robber. If this explanation is correct, it is difficult for other Kui Dongjun to say, but Dang Shousu thinks that he is still worthy of the word empire.

"Do you think empires and robbers mean the same thing? I've thought so before, but it's not true, the empire is a thief grandfather, no, it's higher than the thief grandfather. "Li Laiheng means that the empire is the ultimate form of the evolutionary route of thieves and robbers, although he has not been able to say it very clearly, and he has also realized when he is a party guard.

Of course, this is not all Li Laiheng's own understanding, during this crusade, Deng Ming and Li Laiheng have discussed this issue in depth many times, but the biggest inspiration for Li Laiheng is not Deng Ming, but Ren Tang, who was the first to realize that the empire actually has a close blood relationship with the robbers. While chatting on the boat, Ren Tang carefully explained to Li Laiheng the existing political system in Sichuan, especially the courtyard that Ren Tang could not understand at all, and now he also has a new understanding.

This spoils sharing meeting was understood by Ren Tang as a tool to pull more people onto the thief ship, and Ren Tang also found out that this was an insurance that made it impossible for everyone to get off the thief ship. Because more and more people are benefiting from the banditry, so the king of the mountain can't do it if he wants to wash his name, and it may be a matter of a few leaders to take over Zhao'an in Liang Shanbo, and Song Jiang can even change his career to be a good person despite public opinion, but if the academy is mature, then the policy of the empire is not up to Deng Ming alone.

In fact, there is nothing wrong with Ren Tang's understanding, Deng Ming even had a sense of confidant after hearing it, in his previous life, the word empire could not be understood as a country with an emperor, but a country's internal and external thinking and action mode. Many countries with emperors have nothing to do with empires, such as the Song Dynasty, which is familiar to Chinese, with several annual gifts; On the other hand, the most typical Nazi Third Reich, without an emperor, was a genuine imperialist. The spoils will be a guarantee of maintaining the imperial mentality, and no one can change the national policy because of personal likes and dislikes: the diplomat will be removed if he is not tough enough, the prime minister will be dismissed if he is weak, the king will be overthrown if he does not meet the needs, and only the imperialists can sit in key positions until most of the strata involved in the spoils are satisfied.

"Secondly," Deng Ming continued his speech: "The Qing army robbed the Qing court's fortune under the banner of the Ming army, this is an impostor, and it has damaged the credibility of our army, and it is not even willing to give us the silver, is it tolerable?" ”

Many Qing army generals were already ashamed when they heard this, and one of them mustered up the courage to ask: "Then is it too late to divide it now?" ”

Deng Ming glanced at the general of the Qing army and said loudly to everyone: "If the Qing army notifies us in advance and discusses a reasonable distribution plan with our army, so that our army's lost reputation can be reasonably compensated, and the deterrent effect of the Qing court can also be reasonably evaluated, our army can accept it." But when the Qing army took action without authorization and attempted to steal the property of our army in private—note that reputation is an intangible property, and it is precisely reputation that has allowed our army to move smoothly since the Eastern Crusade, and the local government has also enthusiastically purchased bonds—it is impossible for us not to demand additional compensation, and after the end of the self-defense operation, our army has already seized all the grain and silver, and it is impossible for us to return it, because it is unfair to our supporters. ”

After hearing that Deng Ming didn't give anything to the Qing army, most of the generals bowed their heads and kept silent, and now they had no room for bargaining, but after tossing for a long time, they made a wedding dress for the Ming army, which of course made everyone unhappy.

"I didn't say that I would not give the benefits to the monarchs," seeing that the atmosphere was a little dull, Deng Ming further explained: "I just said that I would not give it to the Qing army." ”

Most people were stunned, and only the most flexible ones remembered that Deng Ming had said that they actually had dual identities, one was a Qing soldier, and the other was the title of supporter of the empire because of the war bond.

"Just now General Wang said that because of the economic difficulties of actively buying bonds, the empire was indeed negligent in advance, and I thought about it seriously just now, and we should not let the supporters of the empire suffer from hunger, cold, food and clothing because of their support for us." Deng Ming announced that because of Wang Han's reminder, he decided to use the authorization of the academy to start a special dividend, and the dividend came out of the silver this time: "The principal and interest are still the same, and the special dividend is equivalent to 10% of the face value of the bond, which is paid in silver." ”

Most people were completely confused, especially the generals of the Qing army, who were in chaos and could not complete the switch between the two identities. Ren Tang and other senior officers of the Sichuan Army did not have the slightest pressure to understand, and immediately helped Deng Ming explain: "Let the supporters participate in the distribution of spoils...... Well, it is the consistent policy of the empire to let the supporters enjoy the benefits of victory, and of course, after the losses, we will also ask for the tribulation. ”

"Communication is very important, if it weren't for the communication problem, our army and the Qing army would not have had the misunderstanding last night," Deng Ming continued to speak after the Sichuan army subordinates helped the Qing army and the generals of the Kuidong army understand what they were talking about: "In view of General Wang's reminder, maybe we can set up a bond committee in the future, and people with a large number of bonds can participate in discussing the distribution method of dividends." ”

Deng Ming looked at Wang Han again: "General Wang, as the owner of a bond and a supporter of the empire, if the generals of the Qing army ask for a share of the silver that is already in the hands of our army after creating so many incidents, what do you think the emperor ** team should do?" ”

"It should be resolutely suppressed!" Wang Han replied: "However, as a general of the Qing army, the last general promises that he will not ask Baoguo Gong for Cao Yin again. ”
