Qing Yi was stunned, even shocked. The people under the shade of the trees didn't know who the young man in front of them was, but she knew that he was the most powerful person in the dynasty!
How could he say that rebellion was justified?
If this gets spread... I can't even imagine the consequences.
"I know I can't say these things, I can't say them." From Qing Yi's shocked eyes, Chang Yu knew what she was thinking, and said with a wry smile: "Others can say this, but I don't think it's an exaggeration to say that you will confiscate your family and exterminate your clan!"
"But, but... why did the shopkeeper say that?" Qing Yi stuttered a little, but Chang Yu didn't answer her, looking at Su Jing by the stream.
Chang Yu came from a later generation and lived in the city. He was prosperous in his professional circle and earned a good income. After competitions, he also spent a lot of time drinking and feasting. At that time, he only knew about romance and misery in the world.
Therefore, he once believed that the decline of the Ming Dynasty was closely related to the bandits from all walks of life who rebelled. It was these thieves who dragged the Ming Dynasty into the abyss and gave the Manchus an opportunity to take advantage of it.
Therefore, he hated thieves like Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong very much, hated them to the core, and never showed mercy, so he became famous as a massacre!
But gradually, after he learned about the sufferings of the people in this era, his thoughts changed. If there was a way to survive, who would want to rebel and become a thief!
Harsh taxes, corruption, natural disasters... there are widespread complaints. If the people don't live in peace, will they die if they don't rebel?
The people of this era are so miserable!
But there is one thing to say, the common people in this era are also lucky.
At least they still have the right to rebel. They can rebel if they want to, and the chance of success is very high. If they gather a group of people with swords, guns and sticks, they can resist. In the cold weapon era, if you don't accept it, you can do it, and you win or lose 50-50.
But what about future generations?
You have to endure the complaints, and you have to endure the dissatisfaction, because you have nothing, what are you using to rebel, a fruit knife?
Chang Yu was babbling for a while and was silent for a while, which made Qing Yi a little confused. She stood by and didn't know what to say. The girl came over and pulled her to signal that she was leaving.
Qing Yi didn't know what to do for a moment, so Chang Yu turned around and said, "Qing Yi, theoretically I don't agree with you taking this girl away. It's not that you don't want to give up the food, but have you ever thought that the two of them are already in their sixties?" Not to mention how long a disabled old man can live without his family, how deep is the pain of life and death without his relatives by his side... If the children are left behind, life will be hard, but they may not starve to death... That's all, or... You make the decision." Chang Yu watched Qing Yi's tears welling up in his eyes and couldn't bear to say any more. He waved his hand and said, "I won't go and I'll wait for you here."
Tsing Yi led the girl away, walking slowly and elegantly. The people resting under the shade of the trees saw that she was armed and mysterious, so they walked away to work in the fields.
"Do you know how many people's lives can be affected by your justifiable rebellion? The entire Dongchang Yamen and people close to you will be implicated," Sujing sighed and stared at Chang Yu.
Chang Yu was slightly surprised: "You can hear me from so far away." Su Jing said nothing, Chang Yu shrugged: "Then you can report me to the court."
Moreover, Su Jing rolled her eyes and wanted to say something, but she saw Chang Yu walking towards the fields and actually helping the common people with farm work.
Although she had seen Chang Yu often going to the fields to chat with the people and do farm work, she was shocked every time. This man... really couldn't understand him!
The great eunuchs of the dynasty were working in the farmland under the scorching sun. You must know that at this moment, Li Zicheng in Xi'an and Zhang Xianzhong in Sichuan were probably shaking their fans and eating watermelon. In Beijing, the princes, generals and ministers were all listening to music. The dynasty The hall is greeting the eighth generation of his ancestors...
But think about the countless soldiers guarding the border in the wind and sun...
Qing Yi came back, taking the girl named Pu Jie with her. When she saw Su Jing under the shade of the tree, she came over and asked, "Master Su Jing, where is the shopkeeper?"
Su Jing raised her hand and pointed towards the farmland. Qing Yi followed the direction and saw Chang Yu working, and was speechless for a while.
"Do you know what he is doing?" Su Jing asked.
Qing Yi nodded and shook his head: "The shopkeeper is a kind-hearted person who cares about the sufferings of the people..."
"He is punishing himself." Su Jing interrupted Qing Yi: "He thinks he has made a mistake, so he must use this method to remind himself or spur himself."
"Then...Master Sujing, is the shopkeeper really at fault?" Qingyi seemed to understand, but Sujing let out a laugh and sneered: "Everyone in the world is right."
As the sun set, Chang Yu walked out of the field. Even though he was wearing a straw hat, he was still sweating profusely, his face was sunburned, and his arms were peeling. Looking at his tired face and rubbing his waist vigorously, he asked plainly: "Come back tomorrow?"
Chang Yu quickly waved his hand: "Farming work is too hard. Not to mention the pain of being exposed to the sun, even this waist will be broken. I would rather go into battle and fight, even if I get chopped a few times, it's more satisfying than this."
Su Jing curled her lips: "There are some people who have been doing this kind of work all their lives."
Chang Yu said nothing, looked at Qing Yi and the girl under the shade of the tree and nodded slightly.
Dozens of people were galloping towards them on fast horses in the distance. It was Tu Yuan and the others. In fact, they had arrived a long time ago, but they did not come close to disturb them. They were enjoying the cool weather in the shade of a tree from a distance and watching their eunuchs doing farm work.
Chang Yu got on his horse and rode away. At this time, the common people also woke up. The young man who had helped them do farm work and messed around all afternoon was not an ordinary person.
Back at the camp, Chang Yu felt that he was suffering from heatstroke, so he jumped into the lake to soak and refused to go ashore. Li Muchian picked some herbs and let him chew them. Although they tasted bitter, they were very effective and made his head less foggy.
Dinner was still rich with fish and meat. No matter how hard he worked in the afternoon, he ate as much as he could and enjoyed it. After a feast, he lay down on the boat to enjoy the cool air. Li Muchian held a stack of documents and secret letters and read them to him one by one. As the eunuch of the East Factory They receive countless intelligence messages every day.
There are those from Xi'an, the capital, Sichuan, and even Ningyuan, and of course those around the toes are indispensable.
Every move of Huang Degong, Wang Yuncheng, Ma Jinzhong and others was under his control. Wang and Ma were the main force and marched side by side. There was nothing unusual about marching and setting up camp according to the order. However, it was Huang Degong and the Dongchang battalions and other pioneer soldiers who were grinding their teeth to find trouble. Continuously, every detail was sent to him.
"Lao Jiu kept clamoring on the northern line, and actually gave Jingzhou three days. Hehe, he knows how to toss, and I guess he has already met by now." Li Muxian said with a bad smile: "They say this is a top beam... Hehe, it's very You have the demeanor of a governor."
Chang Yu smiled slightly: "The Taoist priest made it clear that Lao Jiu has the same moral character as ours. He is rude, rude and loves to stir up trouble."
"No, no, no, Pindao means to be brave and resourceful. You cannot use ordinary methods to deal with Jingzhou. The more nonsense you have, the more useless it is. Being messy can work wonders."
"Hey, you're just praising our family. Even Lao Jiu was so excited when you praised him for his bravery and resourcefulness." Chang Yu laughed.
Li Muxian chuckled: "Lao Jiu is brave, but there is someone else who is planning."
"Wine jar?" Chang Yu curled his lips, and Li Muchian said hurriedly: "It's not him, but Zhu Chongsheng. He can also be regarded as Lao Jiu's tip."
Oh, Chang Yu nodded slightly and suddenly asked: "What do you think of Zhu Chongsheng?"
Li Muxian knew Zhu Chongsheng's true identity and did not dare to say anything nonsense: "Compared to Lao Jiu and others, the strategy is already outstanding."
"Really?" Chang Yu curled his lips and said, "I beg to differ."
Um... Li Muxian stopped talking, not because he didn't know what to say, but because he knew that Zhu Chongsheng's identity was not something he could comment on at will.
Chang Yu laughed to himself at the Taoist priest's cautious thoughts: "What the Taoist said is that Zhu Chongsheng is a little more strategic than Laojiu and the others, right? But our family doesn't necessarily think so. At most, they are more prudent."
Li Muchian smiled and said nothing, and Chang Yu continued: "In terms of bravery, he is not as good as Lao Jiu and Jiu Guan, and in terms of strategy, he may not be higher than them. The situation on the battlefield is constantly changing, and all strategies must be judged and formulated based on rich experience. In terms of military experience, Zhu Chongsheng is far behind them. At most, he can only make up for the shortcomings. Others...hey, he doesn't have this talent at all."
"Talent?" Li Muchian was startled.
Chang Yu sat up: "Skills have specializations, and the best in all walks of life are talented people. Let's not talk about anything else, let's just talk about marching and fighting. Since ancient times, famous generals have come from several majors, that is, they have been born as generals. There are several aristocratic families, let’s not talk about the distant ones, let’s talk about the current dynasty. Let’s not talk about Emperor Taizu, let’s talk about the King of Zhongshan and the King of Kaiping. They were born in poverty and did not even go to school for a day, but they eventually became famous generals. , What do you rely on, it’s talent!”
Li Muxian understood: "Just like those who practice martial arts, they all study hard and practice hard. Some people become great masters in the end. Some people study literature and have nothing in life for ten years. Some people become the number one scholar." As he spoke, he looked towards the shore. : "Just like cultivating Taoism, it also requires talent."
"Hey, if you didn't tell us, we would have forgotten about this." Chang Yu stood up and jumped onto the shore. Li Muchian was about to follow, but Chang Yu stopped him: "Don't take her idea, maybe you really don't have talent in this area."
Li Muxian lowered his head and shook his head with a sigh.
There is a tent next to the woods on the shore. Qing Yi is reading the scriptures. The girl Pu Jie looks curious next to her and listens carefully to Qing Yi's explanation of the scriptures.
Qing Yi looked up and saw Chang Yu standing a few meters away: "The shopkeeper has something to do." He stood up and walked out.
"I want to talk to you." Chang Yu turned around and walked towards a remote place, Qing Yi followed closely: "Actually, I wanted to talk to you when I was in Wuchang, but I never made a decision. I have been thinking about it all afternoon today. It’s quite thorough.”
