When Cao Gan said this, Liu Qi took over the conversation and asked: "I'm also quite surprised. Since Zhang Lian has been very kind to you and you have repaid his kindness, it stands to reason that the two of you should be treated like this. It’s a life-and-death friendship, wouldn’t it be much better for you to follow him than follow Jiang Manqing?”
"That's a good question!" Cao Gan suddenly looked at Liu Wei with a look of hatred on his face: "It's easy for me to follow Zhang Lian. As long as Zhang Lian has something to eat, I can't live without a mouthful of soup! But at that time, my brother was still in Jiang Manqing Next to me, he and I are from the same mother and father. If I leave, he will definitely die. Are you asking me to sell my only relative in this world and run away?"
Oh, this is very embarrassing. His only relative was beaten to death by Liu Wei a few days ago.
Gao pragmatic also frowned and fell silent.
Speaking of which, being highly pragmatic is not the kind of hot-blooded young person who thinks the world is either black or white. As far as he is concerned, no matter how many bad things Cao Gan has done, as long as it is not a crime committed by someone high on him, and that person is useful to him, then Gao Pragmatic will still be able to consider using him - provided that he is used It will not cause other greater harm in the future.
In the final analysis, Gao Pragmatic is a thorough pragmatist. He may have slightly higher moral requirements for himself, but for the people he intends to use, in addition to national justice, many other moral crimes in the eyes of the world are harmful to the people he intends to use. It's not a big problem for him. At least, it can give him a chance to change his ways.
In fact, this may be a kind of conceit brought about by time travel - I come from a more civilized era, so I can have higher requirements for myself, but for you people, it doesn't matter, as long as it works. As long as you can make good use of your strengths and help me achieve my goals, it’s no big deal to put the other sections aside temporarily. “Don’t worry about these details”!
As for my purpose? Ha, you can’t understand even if I say it!
It is this sense of superiority that makes Gao Pragmatic subconsciously not pay much attention to the mistakes a person has made before. As long as you can perform well after you come under my command, I dare to give you a chance to start a new life!
In the face of the great cause of saving the Ming Dynasty, or even saving the inheritance of Chinese civilization, these things are insignificant!
What happened to the rebellion? When Gao Jingshi found out that he had traveled to the Ming Dynasty, didn't he also consider the path of rebellion? It was just that after weighing the situation, I felt that the harm caused by rebellion to the entire nation was too great, and that reform from top to bottom was more moderate and stable, so I did not choose to take the path of rebellion.
However, since I, as a time traveler, would weigh whether to rebel or not, don’t the “contemporary people” of the Ming Dynasty have this choice? After all, the people at the bottom can still get by with their daily lives, so who has the brains to risk their lives to rebel? This is not a game played by later generations. If you play to death, you will just reload the file. If this rebellion fails, it will be a serious matter that will lose your head.
But the problem now is that if Cao Gan cannot reconcile with Liu Wei, it will be very troublesome to use this person. At least no matter how Gao pragmatically looks at it, he doesn't think Cao Gan's role can be compared with Liu Wei's, and Liu Wei made no mistakes at all in killing Cao Gan's younger brother. To be fair, he should even Praise him for his chivalrous spirit and bravery in doing justice.
Gao Pangshi's current hesitation was here. He was not afraid that Cao Gan had become a rebel, nor was he afraid that Cao Gan would let Zhang Lian go.
The rebels have been eliminated and Zhang Lian has escaped. History has proven that this group of people has no ability to threaten the entire Ming Dynasty, so Gao Pragmatic is not worried about this at all. As for concealing Cao Gan's identity and covering the lid, he could come up with at least two or three solutions in the blink of an eye, so it was even more troublesome.
The real trouble is that if Cao Gan always looks like he wants to fight to the death with Liu Wei, then if Gao Pragmatic wants to use him, he will have to worry about Liu Wei's attitude. In fact, Liu Wei can not only crush Cao Gan in terms of force, but also Now he also has Cao Gan's "dirty information" like Gao Pingshi, and he can kill Cao Gan at any time if he wants.
Gao Pragmatic is not willing to spend great efforts to save and cultivate a talent, only to find that this person was killed by his more promising helper not long after.
Of course, Gao Pragmatic can also choose a simpler attitude: as long as Cao Gan can help in taking Bailixia, I will use it first. When the Bailixia bandits are collected and trained by me, Cao Gan What does it have to do with Mr. Gao whether he lives or dies?
Thinking of this, Gao pragmatic glanced at Liu Wei. He felt that the reason why Liu Wei had not shown any signs of breaking out until now was probably because he believed in his heart that he was simply using Cao Gan in this matter, and his goal was only to capture Bailixia. Burning bridges across rivers is not a hassle.
But Gao Pragmatic didn't want to waste a talent with good foundation easily - Cao Gan had experienced many battles and had experience in commanding cavalry (horse thieves), so he could form an infantry-cavalry match with Gao Mo, which would be helpful for building his own private armed team. It is very effective. After all, although Liu Wei is strong, he will definitely not become the leader of Gao Jingshi's private army. His role must be to lead troops to defend the Ming Dynasty rather than to defend Gao Jingshi's personal industry. Gao Jingshi has a clear understanding of this.
While Gao Pangshi was still thinking hard about how to untie this seemingly deadlock of hatred between the two of them, Liu Wei smiled and said to Cao Gan, "You don't have to remind me that although I have killed enough people, you I forgot about my brother's death so quickly. Moreover, even if what happened that day happens again, I will definitely kill him - he brought it upon himself."
Surprisingly, Cao Gan just sneered and said, "He did have a right to die, but no matter what, for Cao, this debt cannot be ignored."
Liu Wei didn't care about Cao Gan's threat. Instead, he asked in surprise: "Oh? You actually think he has a right to die?"
Cao Gan looked indifferent and said: "I have repeatedly ordered them not to bully good women. Every time I send them out to collect grain, I give them three days to go to the brothel to deal with it. He is my biological brother and refuses to let me go." In my heart, if I knew about this, he would still be in trouble."
After hearing this, Liu Wei showed a sarcastic smile: "Oh, so, you are... what the hell are you? A righteous bandit?"
Cao Gan glanced at him disdainfully: "If you weren't from the army, you might not have a better reputation than me."
Gao Pinggong said sincerely: I'm afraid this is true. When Liu Wei fought against Burma in history, his methods were ruthless. I guess they were no better than the infamous Three Guangs policy in later generations, let alone Liu Xian. In the battle between father and son to level the Duzhang barbarians, the father and son performed an unprecedented act of "genocide" and wiped the entire Duzhang barbarian nation from the face of the earth.
Although it is true that the Duzhang Barbarians constantly "rebelled and then surrendered, surrendered and then rebelled" throughout the Ming Dynasty, after playing this game countless times, they indeed completely pissed off the court, but the operation of genocide... …In Gao Pragmatic’s opinion, it’s still a bit too ruthless. If we adopt a more pragmatic approach and move them to the interior and disperse them to live in one hundred and eighty counties, in two or three generations, this ethnic group with a relatively small population will naturally be assimilated. Why do you have to do something so stupid that makes your hair stand on end?
Maybe this is the difference between killing with blood and killing without blood.
