Bianjing City, which was originally very lively even at night, became a bit desolate at this time. Song Zhixi and Li Yuzhu walked side by side, like two wandering wild ghosts, looking quite scary.
"I guess he's just waiting and watching, but at least he hasn't opened his mouth to negotiate terms. Isn't that a good thing?"
Song Zhixi recalled these difficult years. Although they represented the official power of the exiles, to be honest, their work was not easy to carry out.
Everyone knows what kind of system they want to establish, but even so, everyone still adopts a wait-and-see attitude. Many people even ask, 'Why should I be your dog?'
Who wants you to be a dog? You are all people who have experienced two worlds, primitive society, slavery society, feudal society, capitalist society, socialist society. Haven't you learned this inevitable law of development? Since
Isn’t it good to be on the right side of history?
To put it bluntly, it has only been less than twenty years since the exiles arrived in this world. The sooner the change in social form is completed, the sooner they can enjoy a relatively good life.
Everything is still as good as before. The earth next door has been peaceful for many years, and most people can't feel the terror and cruelty of the old society at all. Today's exiles are just eating the benefits of the will of heaven and earth. They are born with
There are martial arts that can be learned, even if the skills are mediocre, this is something that ordinary indigenous people may not be exposed to in their lifetime.
The exiles are accustomed to this kind of welfare, which allows them to stand on the starting line as soon as they are born, but they have forgotten that many people are not even qualified to stand on the starting line.
But... don't forget, this kind of benefit only lasts for a mere five hundred years, and it was reduced by three hundred years because of Emperor Qin's actions.
In other words, exiles who have done well in this life, such as Zuo Zhou, will most likely not be able to use up all three lives.
Think about it, if they fail to complete the transformation of social form in less than two hundred years, then when they are completely without the care of the will of heaven and earth, they will not have the memory of their previous lives when they are reborn, and they will become struggling sentient beings.
By then, the fangs of feudal society will gnaw them to pieces.
"What do you think about the tolerance he mentioned?" Li Yuzhu suddenly asked back.
Song Zhixi paused and looked at him strangely, "You don't have anyone to choose from, do you?"
Zuo Zhou is not a very wise person. Everyone has the wisdom of ordinary people. He can think that the official people have already thought about it, but it is too difficult.
The exiles are still young and have no capital at all to talk about recruiting. How can you talk about the superiority of the social system with the masters of the local list? Let alone the masters of the local list, even those who come from the sky list may not be able to understand it. So it is not that they do not tolerate the indigenous people, but that they are not tolerant of the indigenous people.
I can't find anyone to lobby for.
Li Yuzhu paused and replied: "What do you think of Chao Gai?"
Song Zhixi frowned slightly, "I thought we had agreed before, isn't Chao Gai our target?"
"It's a target, but what if this target has hope of achieving the Earth Ranking? Through my contact during this period, although he has a strong desire to form a force, he has no idea of becoming an emperor. We are not strong enough now, so we will
Work with many rebel leaders to stand in front, establish a shadow high-level, control the middle and low-end links, and develop the country silently. In the future, these targets must be eliminated one by one, but if this target does not have the idea of becoming an emperor, that is
Can’t we absorb some?”
Song Zhixi was silent, "You and I can't decide this matter. We have to discuss it with other military advisors. And there is no need to rush. We can take our time to observe what Chao Gai has in mind. Moreover, we have the strength to restrain him."
Currently, I do not approve of exposing our plans to him, which would put our fellow citizens at risk."
"Don't worry, I understand this."
…
After seeing off Li Yuzhu and Song Zhixi, Zuo Zhou leaned to the left on the window sill and stared at the night in a daze. He didn't come back to his senses until he heard slight footsteps behind him and said: "The tea is cold, please change it for me."
"Yes, master."
Li Xunhuan skillfully brought a cup of tea over, and then stood silently behind him for a long time.
Zuo Zhou smiled and said, "What do you want to ask?"
"Master... there are rumors outside that you are at odds with the new emperor of Qin, so they all guess that you are not loyal to Qin. Especially since you... are also on good terms with Murong Fu, Xiang Yu and others, and even just made friends with two rebels.
military advisor..."
"Then what kind of person do you think a teacher is?" Zuo Zhou looked at Li Xunhuan with interest.
"I can't understand, the disciple can't understand the teacher."
Zuo Zhou asked with a smile: "No country lacks people who care about the country and its people. Prime Minister Li is, and so are you. So in your opinion, what kind of country is a good country."
"Officials govern the Qingming Festival, and the people live and work in peace and contentment internally, and they are neither humble nor arrogant externally."
"That's a good understanding, so what do you think are the conditions needed to reach this level?"
Li Xunhuan paused, "At least we need an emperor who is diligent and loves the people, and a group of honest and capable ministers. Well, there is also enough knowledge and education, and..."
Li Xunhuan couldn't think of anything else for a while, but Zuo Zhou said happily: "The summary is already good, but the question is, if an emperor is good, can you ensure that his descendants will be good? Grandpa's original intention will be passed down to the grandson's generation.
It may be about to deteriorate! The same goes for honest and capable ministers. Those who are hereditary and irreplaceable cannot be guaranteed, let alone those whose legacy cannot be passed down."
Li Xunhuan was at a loss for words, and questions kept swirling in his mind, "What do you think, Master?"
I heard Zuo Zhou say again: "So, if you want the country to be good, you can't pin your hopes on a limited number of people. That would be too time-sensitive. In the long history of mankind, there will inevitably be prosperity and decline.
A cycle of ups and downs.”
"What should we do?" Jiang Yuyan walked out of the shadows, the admiration in her eyes almost turned into a flood.
"Only by changing the system! Use the system to restrict people, use the system to raise the lower limit of a country, only in this way can we truly benefit all people. There are too many countries in the world, and every country has its moments of decline and prosperity. You can't
Comparing a country's prosperity period with a country's decline period. The only comparison is which country has a higher lower limit, and the system is the method to determine a country's lower limit."
"System? Master, you mean governing the country according to the law? But no matter how good the system and laws are, what can those in power do if they don't follow the system?"
Zuo Zhou spread his hands, "If those in power don't follow the system, the serious consequences will have nothing to do with the system, right? It can only be said that this person has taken the wrong route."
Li Xunhuan rolled his eyes and snorted a little bit angrily: "Master really takes advantage of everything."
Jiang Yuyan's eyes flashed wildly, "No, the general is right, just eliminate those who have taken the wrong route!"
Li Xunhuan frowned slightly, why is the master's maid so murderous? "Then what kind of system does the master think is most suitable and can best raise the country's lower limit?"
Zuo Zhou picked up the tea cup and drank it in one gulp, "I will create an environment for them to develop. As for whether it can succeed, we have to wait and see."
"Why doesn't the general get involved?" Jiang Yuyan asked curiously.
Zuo Zhou was silent. He was an ancient even on the neighboring earth. An ancient was born to be inferior to those exiles in terms of structure. In this case, these things should not be mixed up.
"General, I'm afraid of getting tired. How nice it would be to have that time to enjoy yourself. And you two, if you dare to eavesdrop next time, I, the general, will spank you!"
Li Xunhuan lowered his head in embarrassment, while Jiang Yuyan was eager to give it a try, "Okay, okay!"
…
Three days passed by in a flash, and as the sun set, the dark color slowly approached from the end of the line of sight. The killing momentum alone made many Song soldiers unsteady.
The sky was gradually covered by dark clouds, and the heavy atmosphere made people breathless.
The imperial court finally found someone who seemed willing to take the blame. In short, it was a civil servant who stood on the city wall. His official robe was very new, his armor was also very new, and there was a sword hanging from his waist. Everything was very new. He was probably here to take the blame.
He was promoted temporarily.
Zuo Zhou and others stood on the rooftops and took a look outside the city from a distance. Good guy, Minato, a martial artist with good light skills, had already stood on various high points in the city. As expected, it also depends on your ability if you want to eat melons.
.
"It's still early for the war, we just need to witness it."
The fact was as Zuo Zhou expected. Dorgon was not a fool. He did not start attacking the city as soon as he arrived. Instead, he set up camp and buried pots to make rice.
Huh? "Are you trying to lure the Song generals to lead their troops out of the city to harass?" Shao Yu was slightly surprised. He didn't believe that the Qing generals would make such a low-level mistake.
Zuo Zhou laughed and said, "Then he may be disappointed. I see that the city commander seems to be relieved and has no intention of leaving the city to fight."
…
Qing army camp
Dorgon's eyes narrowed slightly with a dangerous light, and he waved his hand and ordered: "Rearrange the tents."
The quality of the Qing army was significantly higher than that of the Song army. With one order, countless soldiers carried the tents and changed their positions. The simple arrangement made it impossible for anyone in the city to see any changes in the tents.
Obviously, I was just trying to seduce him.
"It seems that the General of the Song Army was able to see through my temptation after a few moments. But that's it. I originally wanted to retain more strength, but it seems that I still have to fight a head-on battle." Dorgon looked at the map with some pity.
What is marked on this topographic map is the defense distribution in Bianjing City. Unfortunately, the defense distribution in the city defense battle is similar and has no reference value.
"What's the situation with the remaining doors?"
"Reporting to the general, the rest of the rebel armies stood still and even drove back the envoys we sent!"
In the main army's tent, Dorgon and a group of military generals were discussing the situation nervously. Just as the generals who had been beheaded had expected, the rebels who were standing still at this time put Dorgon in a bit of a dilemma.
He can't just help Song State defeat all the rebels and then attack the city, right? He's not stupid!
Just when Dorgon thought for a long time but could not find a good solution, someone from outside reported, "General, the Song Dynasty court sent an envoy."
