"Xiao Letian has actually been poisoned by equality. Yes, he believes that all people are born equal. No one is higher than anyone else, and no one is lower than anyone else... I saw Xiao Letian more than once in Ryukyu, and he brought Master Long along with him. Guard, just go into the market and mingle with the common people..."
"This person is hopeless. He thinks that the worship of all people is the most important. In order to make himself transcendent and become a saint, he can sacrifice the interests of everyone around him..."
"I am not deliberately discrediting Xiao Letian because I have taken refuge in the Qing Dynasty. Every word I say can stand scrutiny! Lord Buddha, all princes! Everyone in the world comes and goes for profit. Who would willingly die in vain?”
"This is what Ryukyu is like now. On the surface, Xiao Letian is still very popular. That's because he has not lost the aura of winning a battle in Europe. The recruits he brainwashed and cultivated every year are still being added in a steady stream, so the newcomers Once you reconcile with the old person, you will naturally suppress many complaints and complaints under the sand..."
Yang Zhi sneered, "Haha... In fact, people's fanaticism only lasts for a few years. After paying sacrifices and blood, they can't see the rewards they deserve. Isn't it normal for them to become disloyal at that time? Many old people in Ryukyu are now They dare to be angry but dare not speak, they just drink and complain in private..."
"Some people say that I, Yang Zhi, am greedy for money and lustful. I want to ask a question, who in this world is not greedy for money and lust? People work hard for something other than the clothes on their backs and the food in their mouths? What happened to selfishness?"
"Old farmers have worked hard for a year. Shouldn't they enjoy the food they have harvested? After years of doing business, shouldn't they have more wives and concubines and buy more properties? They can't just give it to unrelated outsiders, right?"
"This is how we live in a small family. It's the same when it comes to changing dynasties and rising up in power. We'll follow you, Xiao Letian, through life and death, crawling out of the dead a few times. What's the purpose? Isn't it just a little privilege in the future? I can't do it. You broke a leg in a bloody fight, but in the end you just gave me a little money and a little verbal honor to get over it?"
"When we grow old, we realize that my life is just like that of my neighbor who has never been to the battlefield and just lives his life behind closed doors. So, my injuries and one leg are all in vain?"
"What about those who died in the war? Did they die in vain? Anyway, the country will be stable in the future, and those who have sold their lives and those who have not sold their lives will have the same rights. So who will sell their lives after seeing this clearly?"
Yang Zhi felt truly aggrieved at this moment, with tears in his aggrieved eyes. He wiped it with his sleeve, and said with red and swollen eyes, "I was a fool in my first half of my life. I almost lost my life by fooling others." Got it!"
"On that day, Wang Hong Xiuquan, Yang Xiuqing and others were not good birds at all. We followed him to conquer the city of Nanjing. As a result, they took all the beauties and gold and silk in the city to their homes, and then began to overhaul their homes. The wealth and luxury are unimaginable..."
"But what about us soldiers? They are extremely harsh. Not only do they lack food and clothing, they even set up a men's camp and a women's camp. They say that couples cannot live together. I pity some married veterans. The husband and wife We haven’t seen each other for several months…”
"Our group was even more unlucky. We were directly selected into the Northern Expeditionary Army. We were fooled like fools and fought all the way from Nanjing to the north. Blood was spilled all the way and the number of corpses was countless. What was the final result? The team was destroyed. If they break up, we will become bandits!"
"What a bullshit Taiping Heavenly Kingdom! This damn Heavenly Kingdom must perish... You guys follow you to conquer the country, but in the end you can't even drink a sip of soup. What are you waiting for if you don't renounce morality?"
"Now Xiao Letian is also taking the same dead end. When more and more veterans find that there is no benefit to working for Xiao Letian and they are all dying in vain, the Queen Mother, Lafayette, and all the princes, who else do you think will follow? What did he do? A person can be stupid for a while, but can he be stupid for a lifetime? "
Originally, Cixi and the others just asked casually and never thought about what this repetitive villain could say. But as soon as Yang Zhi said these words, everyone present was moved. Whether the words were rough or unreasonable was not something Yang Zhi felt. It’s really informative!
"In fact, after comparing with each other, the country is still the best and the most conscientious! The rewards and punishments are clearly understood. The greater the merit, the greater the title and official position. Even if I sell this life, it will be enough for my children and grandchildren to be wealthy for three generations. , this is the fundamental reason why our Qing Dynasty defeated the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom!"
"Slave, I have encountered a lot of defeated Tianguo troops in Ryukyu in the past few years. After talking to them, I realized that in the last few years when Tianjing was conquered, the entire Tianguo had already been in despair..."
"But the hatred between the Hunan Army and the Kingdom of Heaven was too deep at that time, and they had no intention of keeping prisoners. Therefore, the Taiping Army's resolute resistance in the later period was not at all out of gratitude to Hong Xiuquan and others, but just the instinct of survival..."
Yang Zhi sighed, "I have to say something that I shouldn't have said. If the imperial court could have opened up a few ways of survival at that time to give those who surrendered hope, I estimate that the war would not have lasted as long as it did, and it might have ended two years earlier." This war..."
Everyone in the Yangxin Palace was moved. No one thought that Yang Zhi actually had some truth in his heart! Prince Gong was secretly shocked. Even a traitor under Xiao Letian's command was of such caliber. We can only imagine the quality of those more senior generals. Why did all these talents end up with him?
"Sure enough, there are three points of truth!" Cixi nodded, "In your opinion, how should we deal with Xiao Letian?"
Yang Zhi got positive encouragement and suddenly became excited, "Old Buddha, this is a lesson! First of all, we must learn from the past lessons and don't fall out with Xiao Letian easily. To put it bluntly, Xiao Letian really has a way of training soldiers, with real swords and guns." We may not be able to take advantage of this..."
"So we have to use terrazzo to neutralize Ryukyu's offensive bit by bit. After all, we are the orthodox ones. After all, we have countless high-ranking officials here who can reward people..."
"From now on, we have to establish contact with Xiao Letian's men secretly. Don't expect them to surrender like me, but we have to send a signal of goodwill in advance to let them know that as long as there is such a day, please feel free to come back boldly. The imperial court will not only let things go, but will also reuse them..."
"Haha, I don't believe it anymore. Are there really people in this world who don't like high-ranking officials, generous salaries, and servants? Are you addicted to giving in vain?"
"On the other hand...you have to keep an eye on Xiao Letian's wives, especially their bellies!"
