Chapter 2614: Take the upper hand, do whatever it takes
Cowardly, cowardly.
Brave and strong.
These are all human characteristics, and they can even appear in the same person at the same time.
Just like on the same night, some people may decide their own life and death, while others may decide life and death for others.
No profit leads to no extinction.
So which one is more guilty, buying or selling, or killing?
Buyers and sellers will say, I didn’t kill him, I was just selling the goods. If someone wants to buy, I will sell. What’s the problem with this?
Those who kill will say, "How can I live and make money if I don't kill this person? Could it be that the whole family drinks the northwest wind and starves to death, and then everyone is happy?"
The moral knight standing on the high ground shouted loudly, "You are all guilty!"
It's just that this knight has never thought that if others climbed to a higher position and lowered their heads to look, they would also say, "You are all guilty..."
The night is getting dark.
The Southern Huns have now settled down, and many Southern Huns have begun to change their tents into houses, making the entire area around the royal court more like a large village rather than a nomadic gathering place.
The flames of the bonfire at the intersection of Wangting gradually dimmed, and high or low snoring could be heard from the hut guarding the intersection. The Southern Huns had not experienced any war for so long that
Most of the Southern Huns were somewhat relaxed.
The few Southern Huns soldiers who were still on guard were holding spears, leaning on each other, or sitting, without looking alert. They were supposed to add some dry firewood to the bonfire, but no one wanted to move. Anyway,
In an hour or two, the night will be over, and you can get off duty and go back to sleep. Some of the soldiers on duty who can't stand it anymore are already dozing off little by little.
The young officer leading the team also had an indifferent attitude. When he saw the laziness of the soldiers on duty, he pretended not to see it. After all, even he himself was yawning nonstop, and tears could not stop flowing from the corners of his eyes.
In the darkness of night, the dim flames only reflected the general outline of the surrounding houses. The tall tent in the farthest corner was the royal tent of the Southern Huns.
This large tent, which was supposed to represent glory and authority, now looks like a huge turtle shell, or like a tomb, motionless in the night wind.
The young officer turned around and yawned again.
Another night is about to pass.
Now Lao Shanyu is enduring life and death, and he and everyone else are also living inexplicably.
Looking back now, it would be much easier to say that I had already designated who would be the heir!
The old Chanyu should listen to the Han people. Doesn’t the Han people’s method avoid these problems?
At least you know who you should be looking for, instead of still having no where to go!
Things are getting better now, the eldest prince and the third prince...
Hi! I really don’t know when I will be able to go back to the past on the grassland. Although I was running around here and there and had no fixed place, we could still laugh loudly, sing loudly, and stand straight on the back of a horse.
day!
Young Master, to be honest, it's not like fighting Han people, but you can talk with those Han people, and you must pay attention to reason and rules in everything. This life with rules is always better than without rules, right?
The Third Young Master looks a bit like an old Chanyu. He often takes people hunting, and his riding and archery skills are really good. But just being good at riding and archery is not enough. These days, even if you are good at riding and archery, you may not be able to beat him.
Han people, don’t we still have to deal with Han people with nice words?
Alas, whether it is the eldest young master or the third young master, they are all the same.
Old Chanyu, it's better to settle down while you still have the breath, otherwise everyone will not have a solid place in their hearts!
The young officer was just worried, but he didn't notice that a head poked out from the dark shadow in the corner, looked around warily, and then quickly retracted. After a while, a few heads came out.
A figure swayed out and tiptoed towards the other side of the road.
I don't know who stepped on something, and there was a soft clicking sound. Although the sound was very light, it spread far in this silent night, causing these black figures to immediately curl up on the spot and lie prone on the ground.
, not even daring to move.
If the soldiers on duty at the intersection came to check, such people would be unable to hide and would definitely trigger an alarm. However, the young officer on duty seemed to just turn his head and glance at the sound, without even moving his buttocks.
Yes, he turned back again.
The third prince and others waited for a while, but still no one was checking. Then they slowly started to move again and continued to move forward. No matter how strong and resolute they were in their previous mental construction, once the sword was actually used,
If you shoot with a real gun, you will still feel scared to a certain extent.
In order not to expose himself and allow the eldest prince to rest assured, the third prince has never expanded the number of manpower and has adopted the route of elite troops. Therefore, if it were a head-on confrontation between horses and horses, the third prince would not be able to defeat the eldest prince.
Therefore, the only option is to take the assassination route.
Next to the third prince was the burly man, Badu. Perhaps seeing that the third prince was breathing a little quickly, Badu lowered his voice and said softly: "Third prince, don't worry, go past here to reach the inner court."
, as long as you evade the patrolling guards, you can directly take their heads, and big things will happen!"
The third prince nodded silently, and the group moved forward silently, touching the shadows.
After a while, after dodging a group of patrolling guards, the group of people reached the inner circle from the outside.
The place where the eldest prince lived was a courtyard next to the royal tent.
After all, Lao Wang is still alive, and the eldest prince doesn't like living in the king's tent. He thinks there are many bugs in the king's tent, so he lives in this courtyard next to the king's tent.
The courtyard, outer courtyard, atrium, left and right wing rooms, and backyard are no different from those of the Han people.
The tall subordinate of the third prince, Badu, was the first to climb over the wall and enter the courtyard. When his tall body fell, it did not cause much movement. He ducked down and rushed to the door of the courtyard in a few steps. He pressed the button
The guy who was napping at the entrance of the courtyard took out a knife and inserted it into his chest along the gap between his ribs!
Blood spurted out, and the guy on duty struggled desperately with his hands and feet on the ground, making some muffled noises, but was quickly covered by Badu and unable to move. After a moment, he collapsed and became motionless.
Badu let go of his hand and wiped his eyes wide with fear.
The people who followed gradually climbed over the wall and entered the courtyard. Standing in the middle of the atrium, Badu arranged their positions left and right. Someone touched the left and right wing rooms, then opened the door and rushed in.
Muffled groans and the sounds of knives striking flesh and blood were heard one after another.
Not long after, the eldest prince's men who were sleeping in the left and right wing rooms were all killed.
Perhaps the dull sound attracted the attention of the inner courtyard, or perhaps the guard of the inner courtyard was just about to come out when he heard the door of the inner courtyard creak and a figure came out...
The man only took half a step and subconsciously stepped out of the courtyard door. He raised his eyes and saw the third prince and Badu standing in the atrium. He was startled and opened his mouth to shout, but was struck by Badu.
The knives they threw hit each other head-on, hitting the backyard door with a "winter" sound and flipping back.
In the inner courtyard, there were obviously more elite guards. They were immediately alerted. Questions and shouts came, and then there were rapid footsteps...
The third prince took a deep breath, "Badu, let's rush in together!"
Badu shouted loudly and rushed into the inner courtyard ahead of the others!
The layout of the inner courtyard is also a common pattern for the Han people, with houses on three sides and wing rooms on both sides. The main house on the front is a two-story building with the stairs on the right. The eldest prince lives on the small building.
In the side rooms on both sides, several people rushed out when they were disturbed. Some were half-covered in leather robes, while others simply bare their chests and carried a sword. They were obviously awakened from their sleep.
He rushed out immediately.
There was a whooshing sound in the air, and a feather arrow shot forward from behind the third prince, directly shooting down a man!
The third prince and others did not originally carry bows and arrows, but the eldest prince had them here. The men of the third prince who rushed into the front yard to massacre saw the bows and arrows in the house, so they immediately took them down, and shot down one person with one bow.
Immediately, these people were frightened and scattered to both sides, losing their original momentum.
"Nunongba! Come out!" The third prince shouted loudly, "You betrayed Sang Zeer and our Shiwei people. You are a traitor to the Shiwei people and a lackey of the Han people! Get out of here!"
The word "Chanyu" for the Xiongnu was actually deliberately changed by the Huns when they were communicating with the Han people. In fact, the original "Chanyu" was written as "God Lord", and in the old Xiongnu language, it was called "Umbrella Zeer".
In the subsequent communication with the Han people, in order to avoid some troubles, both the Han translators and the Huns interpreters deliberately concealed part of the sign of "God Lord", and the result was "Chanyu".
The third prince shouted such a shout, and of course he said it in the old Huns language. Immediately, the eldest prince's men hesitated a little, and did not continue to attack. This gave the third prince's men some time, and the two sides confronted each other.
As soon as the door to the small upstairs room opened, the eldest prince came out and cursed: "How dare you defy the king's laws and commit rebellion!"
As soon as the eldest prince said the words, the third prince smiled.
The surrounding situation suddenly became more subtle.
Because the eldest prince spoke in Chinese.
He was already used to using Chinese, so he didn't think much about it in a moment of urgency.
It's like being among a group of unwanted people, and suddenly a butterfly is heard...
After the eldest prince saw this, he realized that he had said the wrong thing. He was immediately ashamed and angry, pointed at the third prince and shouted: "Kill him!" This time, he did not forget to change it to Shiwei language.
Unfortunately, the eldest prince's morale here has collapsed. On the contrary, the third prince's men feel more and more that their choice is correct, cursing the other party as a traitor to the Southern Huns and a lackey of the Han people. The eldest prince's men can't help but feel a little bit
He was at a loss, his mind was wavering, his hands became soft, and he was suppressed and beaten by the third prince and others.
The fighting in the courtyard also attracted the attention of the patrolling soldiers outside. However, when they hurried to the entrance of the courtyard, they saw two men left by the third prince blocking the outside of the courtyard. "This is Umbrella Zell's."
Things! Don’t interfere! Whoever comes out of the courtyard today will be the king of the people of Shiwei from now on!"
"This..." the patrolling soldier hesitated.
"Wolves on the grassland need a leader! But there is only one leader!"
"Everyone! Stand back! This is a battle between wolves! This is a glorious battle for the people of Shiwei!"
The patrolling soldiers did not rush in at first, but now they became more hesitant after hearing these words.
Yes, the Huns do have such a tradition.
Just like Mao Dun,
Mao Dun killed his brother and his father, but who among the Huns did not recognize Mao Dun as a great Chanyu?
Even the title they gave Modun Shanyu means that the word "Modun" means "his poison" in the Shiwei language, which means that he killed his father and his brother with a poisonous trick.
Of course, "Mao Dun" is also a posthumous title. When Mo Dun was alive, no one dared to fart too much.
There is such a tradition that the Huns outside the courtyard gate hesitated and did not come in. As a result, the eldest prince in the courtyard mistakenly thought that the third prince had gained control of the periphery!
The eldest prince immediately panicked. After all, fighting alone, he was no match for his third brother.
If it is better than the scriptures, if it is better than killing people...
What should I do if I can't win and there are no reinforcements?
What else can we do? Run away!
While the eldest prince ordered people to block the third prince and others, he hurriedly roped down from the back window of the second floor, climbed over the back wall and ran away...
The eldest prince's decisive escape made the third prince and others feel as if they had exerted all their strength and punched the air, causing them to stumble a little and unable to react immediately.
The third prince imagined a lot, even what would happen after killing the eldest prince, but he never expected that the eldest prince would run so fast!
When the two wolves fought, didn't they face life and death and fight until death?
It turned out to be a good thing, but after we met and yelled twice, we just ran away with our tails between our legs?
……!?(·_·;)……
Qiusi often feels that he has no money, because most of his money has been spent. For example, there is no extra money to build large ships. After building a few ships as a demonstration, there is no follow-up move to form a large-scale navy.
The plan was put off until Cai He came to discuss it, and Fei Qian finally found a partner.
There is also the Weiyang Palace in Chang'an City, which has never been completely restored.
Qiusi doesn't live in the palace, so if he can keep it from collapsing, it's considered good.
Hussar also has a lot of money. It seems that his money comes from other people's surplus labor. In other words, Hussar is the current big landlord class.
Logically speaking, Cao Cao is the largest landowner. After all, the areas in Shandong, such as Yuzhou, Jizhou, Qingzhou, and Xuzhou, are flat and fertile, with a lot of farmland.
But the problem is that Cao Cao cannot directly collect the harvest from these acres, he needs to do something...
It's hard to say whether a piece of fat meat has been touched by some oil or water, or whether a piece of fat has been cut off.
For Fei Qian, whether it is in Guanzhong or Pingyang, the unowned land is directly farmed, and even if it is the land that has been passed, the nobles do not dare to hide anything, because the last time they tried to hide it,
They have all been hung on street lamps.
So since the Husbands belong to the landlord class, they should find a street lamp and hang themselves on it?
No, because the Qiaoqi are a landlord class with Chinese characteristics.
Um……
The nobles under the Hussars also feel that they have no money, but in fact, their daily expenses for food and clothing are far more than those of the Hussars, and they are even extravagant and wasteful. They feel that they are not enough, and they feel that it is better to spend their daily expenses.
I’m nervous. How can I have enough food expenses of 650? What can I eat?
Hiring an orchid costs tens of thousands per month, and sometimes you can’t just have one. Adding in a car, it costs tens of thousands more, and you also need a lot of servants, otherwise it will
Being looked down upon by others...
Oops, this money is really not worth spending.
The better the economy, the more money can be spent.
The more you spend money, the more you feel you don’t have enough money.
what to do?
The yield per mu of land is generally rationed every year. Even if it rises steadily, it is impossible to withstand the extravagance and waste without any consumption plan. If you shake your hand, swipe your card, and look back, you will see that you have no money...
what to do!
It is impossible to work part-time, and it only costs a few dollars...
Guanzhong Sanfu's grain yield per mu is high, farmers have more money, the market economy is active, and the economic value has increased, which in turn stimulates farmers to want to plant better land and harvest more grain in exchange for more money.
This is a positive cycle, as for a negative cycle...
It’s like the kind of unrestrained consumption mentioned above.
Coupled with the problems of new and old industries and lack of money, great wisdom came to the rescue.
Why do you want to make the untouchables rich? Why don't you lower the price, take it all into your own hands, and sell it at a high price? Wouldn't that mean you have a lot more money immediately?
Why should we take the formal route? How much money does it cost?
Wouldn't it be faster to get money if you do it privately?
It's just a pity that these smart people forgot one thing when they fell into the eyes of money.
Great wisdom alone cannot create value. More surplus value must be created by ordinary people who are not very smart, and can even be said to be stupid. But no matter how stupid people are, they still have emotions and know how to make profits.
To avoid harm, when they find that their own hard work is not proportional, they will lie flat, just like eating in a big pot. Then the economy will not only not grow, but will also enter various recessions.
If you are used to eating ready-made food, will you be willing to innovate?
Fei Qian's approach is to continuously promote a positive cycle and punish those who try to be clever.
But no matter how strict the laws are, there are still people who challenge the bottom line. No matter how many punishments are reiterated and how the laws are displayed and announced, year after year, at all times and in all countries, large numbers of people still commit crimes and are arrested.
serve a sentence, or even die.
Are these people smart or stupid?
The smuggling carried out by the Taiyuan Wang family cannot be considered too clever.
It can only be regarded as a little clever.
As for the reason for smuggling, it was because Wang Huai was short of money.
The original industry collapsed, but people always have to eat...
Of course, in addition to being short of money, he is also planning some things, and to promote those things, he also needs money.
Although Wang Yun of the Taiyuan Wang family is dead, the other collateral Wang families are not too bad. But the problem now is that Wang Huai wants Wang Ying's title, so he must do something, and to do something, he must do something.
There are people, and if you want to have people under your command, you have to spend money and food.
Ultimately, it's just a lack of money.
Nowadays, drawing cakes can only be done for a short period of time. Who can draw cakes all their life?
And if you want to collect a lot of money in a short time...
That is, we can only rely on the mountains and rivers to support us, and rely on the border to support smuggling.
As long as you can ensure that you are in position, then you will naturally use any means...
