Dragon map of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1034
Mujing decided that he only stayed in Mujia Village for one night, but he did a lot of work this night. He seized the time, worked overnight, and went door to door to visit the elders of these families.

It's not necessarily a matter of appearances, not to mention sending warmth, at least talk to these family elders to let them have an impression of themselves.

Elders are elders after all.

Even though these elders are basically uneducated farmers, woodcutters and hunters, they represent the entire family.

Since he is the master of the family, he has to shoulder the future of his tribe. Regardless of his feelings for the Mu family, this is his responsibility. One day in the future, he is really defeated, and it will only be these tribesmen who will live and die with him .

This is a family, where one prospers and one loses.

In the late Han Dynasty, most of the battles were actually between the powerful families, and the family was always the most united group.

Yuan Shao did not have the influence of the Yuan family, and he could not sit firmly as the overlord of Hebei.

Cao Cao did not have the support of the Xiahou family of the Cao family, and he could not become the Cao Wei Jiangshan who took the emperor to order the princes and created the head of the Three Kingdoms.

No matter how big or small the family is, they always rely on it.

However, Mu Jing couldn't stay here for too long, the Central Plains was raging, and he couldn't stay out of it. At noon the next day, he left Mujia Village and embarked on the patrol road in the west of Nanyang.

The west of Nanyang can be regarded as the old base of Minghou Mansion.

At the beginning, Mu Jing led his troops to break through the siege of Guanzhong, and after breaking out of the siege, he went south to the west of Nanyang, occupied several counties in the west of Nanyang, established the Minghou Mansion, a political group, and expanded outwards in the name of the Minghou Mansion.

It took a few years to achieve today's situation, unifying the southwest and watching the world.

But even though the political center of the Minghou Mansion is now in Yizhou, and in Jiangzhou City in Berkshire, Nanyang Nanxiang is still a place where dragons rise, and it is as important as ever.

Even if he was forced to withdraw back then, the control of Nanxiang City was uninterrupted.

Although some people in Nanxiang also hated Minghou's Mansion, after all, they stood firmly behind Minghou's Mansion and supported them. During the war, Mrs. Minghou's wife did not retreat in the city, and they were all soldiers, defending Nanxiang .

Nanxiang was saved, and they thought they would have a good life. Even though the Minghou Mansion moved to Hanzhong later, they didn't think much about the opening of Dongshan Chidao and Hanshui Chidao, which made the two counties smooth.

However, within a few years, the Minghou Mansion abandoned Nanxiang without hesitation and withdrew from Nanxiang completely, leaving them shrouded in turmoil, their stable life was broken, some people lost their families and some lost their power because of this... …

These grievances were all attributed to the Minghou Mansion.

They supported Minghou's Mansion, but Minghou's Mansion abandoned them at a critical moment. The grievance in their hearts was like the unspeakable resentment of a child abandoned by his parents.

So when Mujing entered Nanxiang with great fanfare, the scene seemed a bit cold and quiet. There were few people in the streets and alleys, and every house and shop were closed.

It was like a silent protest.

It means, we don't welcome you anymore, you are too powerful, we can't resist, but we have to express our anger.

"My lord, they are going too far!" Jiang Wan was a little angry. Whenever Mujing went to any place, as long as he showed his flag, he would become the target of everyone's pursuit. He had never been so deserted. A little too much.

"They're just showing their emotions, are they doing something wrong?"

Mujing was very calm, he sighed, and said: "It's not them who are wrong, it's us. What we do, to put it bluntly, is for the sake of the overall situation. To put it bluntly, it is abandonment!"

"They are all abandoned people, you can make them feel no resentment at all!"

"Some things can't be too harsh!"

From the perspective of the Minghou Mansion, he did nothing wrong, but from the perspective of the people of Nanxiang, he is an ungrateful white-eyed wolf. It is not unreasonable for the people of Nanxiang to hate him.

"Minghou, after all, Minghou's mansion has been operating in Nanxiang for many years. It can be seen that the people of Nanxiang still miss you!" Xu Shu looked more carefully: "They just have resentment in their hearts and are unwilling to forgive you, so they just Every household will close their doors, but they can't help but peek through the cracks in the doors!"

"If you want to get something, you have to give up something. I asked myself that I did nothing wrong, but in fact, I did hurt them. I withdrew from the whole territory of Nanyang and gave them up. One emperor and one courtier, Even if I don’t know how much they have suffered from the new emperor to the people, I can guess to some extent!”

Mu Jing said calmly: "Right or wrong is not important anymore, it's just this kind of thing, I don't want to have a second time, after all, I'm not strong enough, if I'm strong enough, why give up!"

"How strong is considered strong?" Xu Shu asked back.

"One day, I said that the sky is the sky and the earth is the earth, then I will be strong enough!" Mu Jing smiled and responded to Xu Shu.

Xu Shu fell into silence.

He could see Mu Jing's lofty ambitions, and he could also see this boundless ambition, but he couldn't help admiring it. It's not a bad thing for a person to have ambition, the key is the starting point.

Mujing's starting point may not be just his own selfishness.

Although in a short period of time, Xu Shu didn't think he could see through Mu Jing's character, but his actions were always exposed under his nose. This is a prince who has all the people in his heart.

He found that his heart was shaking.

In the prosperous age, the literature and martial arts learned are sold to the emperor's family.

However, in the troubled times, ten years of studying hard in the cold window is nothing more than choosing a wise master to follow, gaining a stage to show what you have learned, walking with the wise master, assisting him, and looking forward to the future together. What I have learned.

He was forced to follow Mujing.

But he found that Mu Jing might be one of the candidates for the Ming Lord in troubled times, so he was shaken.

……

"Official Hou Yue, pay my respects to my lord!" Hou Yue and Hou Dingfang, the county magistrates of Nanxiang, stood on the main street, saluting Mu Jing neither humble nor overbearing.

Mujing's inspection tour of Nanyang this time revealed traces. Before entering a county town, unless he was traveling in plain clothes, he would notify in advance, and the county magistrate would lead the county government officials out of the city to welcome them.

But Nanxiang did not.

The county magistrate of Nanxiang greeted him in the city.

"No need to be polite!"

Mu Jing took the initiative to dismount, stepped forward with a smile, and expressed closeness: "You have worked hard all these years!"

But Hou Yue didn't appreciate it, and said stiffly: "My lord, the courtyards in the inn are all ready, and you can move in anytime!"

Mu Jing smiled, but was not affected by his attitude, and said, "Then Lao Ding will make arrangements for it!"

"My lord, please!" Hou Yue arched his hands, made an inviting gesture, and pointed the way forward.

"Let's go!"

Mujing said indifferently, and then walked forward.

The Nanxiang post station is also a key point of the post road. It is better built than Wancheng. There are many guests coming in and out. The quiet courtyards were assigned to Mujing, and Mujing lived in peace of mind.

After entering the post station, Nanxiang County Magistrate bowed and left.

"My lord, the magistrate of Nanxiang County is too domineering!" Jiang Wan really couldn't stand it.

"He's not domineering!"

Mu Jing changed into a loose robe, sat on his seat on his knees, held a cup of tea, and sipped the tea carefully. The tea could calm down the mood: "There were many people who left with us back then, but not many who were willing to stay , He took the initiative to stay, as a Nanxiang person, he naturally stands on Nanxiang's standpoint, he is just expressing his dissatisfaction with me!"

"Even so, he seems a little too much!"

"Where did he go too far?" Mu Jing asked back.

Jiang Wan heard the words, thought about it, and seemed unable to say anything.

"No one stipulates that to welcome Mujing, you have to meet him from ten miles away. He greeted me in the city, and he has done enough courtesy. What can we say!" Officials are not willing to stay, but he is the only one who is willing to stay to support the mess. In the past few years, we have built Nanxiang County with one hand, and it can be preserved as stable as Mount Tai. He has made great contributions!"

"It is indeed a talent!"

Xu Shu also opened his mouth and said: "From his appearance to his departure, every movement and every word of his was impeccable, but it was enough to express his resentment towards Marquis Ming. Ordinary people can't do this." !"

"Since some things have been done, we have to bear them. No matter whether it is the people or officials in Nanxiang, they may not be willing to welcome us. What we have to do is to win back their support for us!"

Mu Jing pinched the bridge of his nose, in fact he was also very depressed.

Never been left out.

Even though he fled back to Nanyang like a bereaved dog back then, the people of Nanyang still welcomed him, this time the neglect made him feel a little chilled.

But the sins done by oneself, after all, need to be borne by themselves.

Can't blame anyone.

Mu Jing glanced at Xu Shu, intending to test Xu Shu: "Yuan Zhi, if you were in my position, how should you deal with this situation!"

Xu Shu heard the words, thought for a while before answering: "I don't know!"

"I don't know?" Mu Jing narrowed his eyes: "You don't seem like such a person with no confidence!"

"Since you have a sense of guilt, you can be attributed to one side's overlord, and it is impossible to let go of your dignity. If you want to win back support, you have to break the current people's resentment towards the Minghou Mansion. If you can't let go of your figure, you can't do it!"

Xu Shu said.

"Very contradictory!" There was a slight bitterness at the corner of Mujing's mouth.

It's not that he can't let go of his face, but that he can't let go of the face of the Minghou Mansion. The majestic Minghou Mansion is in charge of the southwest.

"However, I think there are some things that must be done after all. It's nothing more than water dripping through stone!" Xu Shu continued: "It's not important what Minghou said, the key is what he did, so that the people in Nanxiang can feel the importance of Minghou again. With the government's care, there is still a chance to break through this layer of ice!"
