"The situation in the Central Plains has changed dramatically. Although we have long expected it, we still need to make major adjustments in terms of specific responses. The Propaganda Department has been very busy recently..."
I don’t know what time it was at night, but in the courtyard of the Maha Pond, I could occasionally hear voices coming from not far away. In the study, Shishi spoke casually.
Yu Hezhong thought for a while and whispered: "This has something to do with your Propaganda Department..."
"Propaganda work has now entered a new stage. In the past, many people's attitudes were still a bit vague, but this time, two major events have intensified the opposition. One is the initial implementation of land reform, which clarified the attitude of the Huaxia Army, and the other is Dai Mengwei's
His actions made him and Zou Xu become the key figures in the confrontation with the Chinese army at the critical time. In the future, the complex public opinion confrontation will not just stop at words..."
"...Those who support the Huaxia Army will seriously consider the possibility of dividing the land and establishing a new era, while those who oppose the Huaxia Army must be prepared to shed blood and sacrifice for their family's land. Public opinion in this case is similar to
It was different before. Even many people in the Propaganda Department are re-recognizing the significance of this matter. You know, those of us who were singled out to write dramas, many of us are still like the old Confucians and Masters in the past.
They have a good relationship, even in terms of knowledge, and they have become teachers. In the past two years, everyone has been arguing back and forth in Chengdu. The quarrel is nothing more than whether they admit the achievements of the Chinese army and whether they can let go of killing the emperor. But when it comes
Recently, everyone has probably realized that in the future, people will die for the land..."
Perhaps because of the private environment, or perhaps because he had talked too much recently, Shishi's words were calm and smooth, and Yu Hezhong's chaotic mood was soothed a little, but then he was horrified by the meaning of the second half of the words.
shock.
He hesitated and said: "The Chinese Army really wants to do this. Ning Yi... really wants to destroy Confucianism like this?"
"...What do you think, Brother Yu?" Shishi looked at him with a smile.
Yu Hezhong thought for a while: "...I don't have a real feeling now, but if it is as sinister as what you said, Master...also, in the past two years, many old Confucian scholars, even though they have cursed in their mouths, in private they almost seem to want to fight with China."
The army has reconciled, but if the land distribution continues like this, those who have land outside may have to stand behind Zou Xu and Dai Mengwei and fight with the Chinese army. Is it really... necessary?"
"Such a question has been asked every day in Chengdu in the past two years, but things have still reached this point. In fact, the answer has already been given, and what is needed next is some decisions." Shishi smiled and looked at him.
, "Brother Yu, what will you do next?"
"I..." When asked this question, Yu Hezhong fell silent. He lowered his head and took a breath. After a while, he took a deep breath again, opened his lips several times, and finally whispered:
"...I, what can I do? I'm not a... big shot. And since Liu Gong is dead, what can I do? I'm... out of the game, right?"
He looked up at Shishi, who looked at him with a little regret in his gentle eyes. Yu Hezhong, a friend for many years, was not stupid. He could actually see what she meant, but he was also helpless.
Shi Shi opened his mouth again: "Actually... you... you know what happened in the city these days, right? I... I..."
"Brother Yu, when big things happen, you should stay calm. In fact, Li Heng has a saying that is very interesting. It says that men only support you to the death. There are no big shots. They are all just to support you." Shishi said.
Then he reached out and sorted out the manuscripts on the desk, "Actually, Brother Yu, think about it. When the news that Dai Mengwei, Xiao Zheng and others killed Liu Guangshi reached Chengdu, it was certainly chaotic, but what is happening in the Central Plains and Chu land today?
In such a situation, once Liu Guangshi died, would the warlord alliance he had created just follow the orders of Dai Mengwei and Zou Xu and obediently hand over their power?"
"this……"
"In today's Central Plains, the mountains are covered by heavy snow, and once the alliance is broken up, a few big leaders may start to contact Zou Xu to negotiate terms, but the various middle and lower levels are probably in chaos, with those without strength trying to make ends meet, and those with strength
For sale, some people like Dai Mengwei and Zou Xu, and some people think that this is not as good as the Wu Dynasty back then, otherwise I might as well join the Chinese Army... Brother Yu, you have been in Chengdu for more than a year, and your status is
Gao, how many people do you know, who have approached you, how many people have you spoken to? You already know so many people, why do you feel like you are useless and out of the game when something happens?"
"I...but..." Yu Hezhong's eyes widened and he opened his mouth slightly, "I...I thought that the Huaxia Army didn't care about...the things outside..."
"The Chinese Army is not a prodigal." Shishi smiled.
"But... Ning Yi didn't come back..."
"Ning Yi doesn't come back because compared to the land reform, the matter is not big, but the Huaxia Army will not push out the things that can be put on the lips. You don't even know that in order to rely on you two accounts, Ning... ha
, Let’s not talk about this. Brother Yu, the Chinese army does not support idle people. When the news came from the Central Plains, I considered whether to stop here and let your identity be released from here, but..." Shishi said
At this point, I hesitated for a moment, "Whether you can do something depends on your own ideas."
"I... the master is asking me to recruit those who want to come over for the Chinese Army..."
"It's about recruiting useful people. The Chinese Army also has its own standards."
"Brother Yu." Shishi called him, looked at him, composed himself, and then spoke slowly, "If you don't do this, someone will do it. If you can do it, it will be possible in the future.
It’s you who do it.”
She looked at the silent Yu Hezhong: "Actually, in the past two years, after I was in the Propaganda Department, the front-line work was handed over one after another. Brother Yu, your side is the last intelligence line relationship I retained. To be honest, we expected Liu Guangshi to have
It may have failed, reminding you to take over your sister-in-law... Now that Liu Guangshi's ship has sunk, it will be very dangerous to go to his and Zou Xu's territory to get chestnuts from the fire. If, after thinking about it, brother, you feel that you can't do it, I will do it on the intelligence line.
Delivery is over..."
Shishi has a transparent temperament. In the past, he would rarely force the few people around him to do something. Now that he has said this, he no longer says anything, but walks outside and asks Xiaoling to cook the food.
The noodles were brought in.
The center of Yuhe was in chaos. Although he had suffered some grievances in the past few days, at this time, he also understood the nature of the "joining the gang" mentioned by his master. Liu Guangshi was dead, and his detached status in Chengdu was no longer
Furthermore, if you want to keep something, you have no choice but to leave here and go to the Central Plains to recruit people for the Chinese army.
But my ability is low and I can't do good things; if I am a direct enemy of Dai Mengwei and Zou Xu, if I am caught, my life will be worse than death; and once I take on these things, if I betray the Chinese army, I will definitely be in trouble in the future.
Disposed of by the other party.
After the fall of the Central Plains, he traveled around for many years and saw many unbearable things. In more than a year in Chengdu, he also heard about many such interests. Once he chose a side, there would be no leisure time.
.
But what other way is there to go?
He hesitated for a while.
After enjoying the blessings of more than a year in Chengdu, he was not even mentally prepared for everything to come to an abrupt end. In fact, from the tenth day of the lunar month, when he came to see his teacher, he still had luck in his heart. He really didn't want to
This kind of life is gone. I hope that Master, with his great supernatural powers, can arrange a similar path for him again.
But just like those old scholars who saw that the Chinese army was determined to divide the land, some things would become a reality sooner or later.
He picked up the noodles, and in the steam, he thought of Gao Wenjing and Wei Rou, who had been with him for more than a year...
Suddenly it seemed very far away.
"Is there no other way?" he whispered.
"No." Shishi sighed, "It's okay to find a place and continue to be a salted fish..."
"But then...Master, do you look down on me?"
Master sat down across from him, raised his head, and smiled slightly: "In the past... I could tolerate everyone and treat everyone very lightly. Maybe this is the so-called Buddha nature. With this nature, in the world
Fanlou is also living a happy life. But these years...maybe he has been led bad by Li Heng. Sometimes, he becomes very harsh. Li Heng said that everyone must wake up. How can everyone wake up...
But when I see those hard-working, motivated, and hard-working people dying a lot, sometimes I don’t want to make friends with mediocre people. Brother Yu... If you go somewhere secretly, you will have a very good time.
Well, when I think about it occasionally, I should be happy, but I also feel that there is probably nothing to talk about..."
She paused: "Li Heng, on his side, is determined to climb a high mountain. He doesn't want to be an emperor and ask for a three-hundred-year succession. He really... wants to make a completely different person from before.
In a different situation, many people gritted their teeth and ran forward. Brother Yu, you also wanted to save the world and save the people. When you were with Chen Sifeng, you talked about doing many big things. At that time, I knew
There are so many people. Sometimes I think about it and think that it would be good for the two friends around me not to do big things. But now, it would be a pity for eldest brother Yu not to do big things. Because it was a prosperous age back then, and prosperous times could make some people act like salted fish.
, Today is a chaotic time of ups and downs, and you can no longer be a salted fish. Moreover, when you see Li Heng doing such a great thing, why are you willing to stay out of it? This is equalizing the land, so that the tillers can have their own land.
The purpose of promoting rural learning is to enable thousands of people to study. It is to overcome the things that Confucius could not do. Brother Yu, how can you stay out of it? This is three hundred years, or even a thousand years.
It’s an opportunity that I never get.”
She spoke softly, but after speaking, her tone finally became surging. This was also the way she had never shown it in front of Yu Hezhong in the past. It was only then that Yu Hezhong understood that Shishi was not only in love with the murderer.
Jun, domineering, outstanding Ning Liheng, she was truly infected by his ideas, so she admired him wholeheartedly.
He felt a little sad in his heart, but it was a little different than before. In the past, he had imagined that he would do something big, which would impress his teacher and make him favor him. That was because women in the world all admired the strong. However, let his teacher
The teacher agreed with his great ideas, and therefore fell in love with him. He had never even imagined in his heart that this might be true love.
He smiled bitterly in the heat of the noodles: "Master, you are really a propaganda department, deceiving people. But... as they say, Confucianism has not overcome things that have not been overcome for thousands of years, enlightenment, and division of land. In this world,
Many people have done great things, but they have never succeeded. Why can the Chinese Army really do it? What if it can't be done..."
"Whether something can be done or not depends on what specific problems are encountered. If there are specific problems, just talk about the problems and find ways to solve them. Isn't this what the Huaxia Army has been doing in the big discussions in Chengdu these two years?
What's the matter? Without discussing the specific issue, I just said that no one has done it before, so it can't be done in the future. What's the difference between that and being a hooligan? Thousands of years, there will always be a time when things that couldn't be done in the past can be done today.
I can do it..."
"And the most important thing is, if there are always some people who want to solve these problems, then why can't these people be us..."
Facing the hot air, Shishi suddenly stretched out his hand and shook Yu Hezhong's arm. In the dim light, those eyes shone brightly.
Looking at this scene, Yu Hezhong's nose suddenly felt sour. He understood that in so many years of acquaintance, it seemed that he had never really been close to the heart of the woman in front of him. And it seemed so full of life.
, the energetic eyes, even when she was in Fanlou, in the scene where they pointed out the country and inspired the words, in her most youthful years, she had never had it...
What did Ning Yi do...
