Traveling through the divine eagle: the first sword of Quanzhen

Chapter 8 The Chivalrous Dilemma

The bearded man snorted coldly, obviously not intending to let them go.

"Hmph! Old friend? He Yuan Escort Bureau! You have repeatedly escorted the Mongols for military pay, and you dare to say that you are an old friend?" the bearded man said to everyone in the Escort Bureau with angry eyes.

Li Qing remained silent, watching the situation in front of him.

The head of the bodyguard replied: "Your Majesty is right, we are indeed escorting the bodyguards of Mongolian Tatars, but this."

Before the head of the escort could finish speaking, the bearded man interrupted: "Hehe! The Mongol Tartars can easily enter the Central Plains, and you traitors are 'indispensible'. If you are sensible, leave the money and see. They are all of the blood of the Han people through the ages, but it can save you a way out, otherwise, the diamond rod in Grandpa's hand is designed to beat traitors!"

Hearing this, Li Qingwei sneered.

Although the bandits in front of him were engaged in the business of killing people and stealing goods, in Li Qingwei's view, if what the bodyguard escorted was really Mongolian military pay, it might not be a bad thing for these bandits to rob them.

Although Li Qingwei was taken care of by these bodyguards along the way, if they really acted as running dogs for the Mongols, he would not mind helping these "righteous thieves".

However, Li Qingwei is a shrewd person. Years of experience in the workplace told him that one should not just listen to one side of things, but must repeatedly argue.

After all, he suffered a big loss before. It was when he just graduated from university. At that time, he was just a rookie in the workplace. He believed that the social workplace was the same as school, and he could find trusted friends.

But the reality gave him a slap in the face, because the adult society is full of intrigues, there is no friendship in their dictionary, and there are only "interests".

He still remembers that at that time, he came to a Fortune [-] company as an intern as a freshman, and did an intern with a female employee who was a little older than him, because they were both interns and they were very close, but her ability was very average. , not as capable as Li Qingwei.

According to the normal internship process, Li Qingwei should have stayed in the company due to her talent, while this female employee would have been kicked out, but the reality was quite the opposite.

Taking advantage of Li Qingwei's trust in her, the female employee swapped Li Qingwei's ideas with her own rubbish ideas.Moreover, he often said bad things about the company's executives, which gave Li Qingwei a bad impression of the company.

In the final assessment, this woman passed the assessment with Li Qingwei's idea, and Li Qingwei was laid off during the successful internship.

And because Li Qingwei's impression of this company was changed, he didn't delve into it, but resigned directly, but until half a year later, the company's new product launch conference used his creativity, and the creative person's signature was that woman's. Only then did he know about it.

He also once asked his law classmate to help him with the lawsuit, but that woman thoroughly understood his design, and she had secretly destroyed the original manuscript in his computer. Li Qingwei could not produce evidence of his originality, so lose the case.

This incident taught the young Li Qingwei a deep lesson. Even now that he has time-traveled and his memory has merged with other people, he still remembers this incident clearly.

Therefore, he will not listen to one side and believe in another, and after a few days of getting along, these bodyguards did not wag their tails when they saw Mongolian officials like the Han translators did before.So he wants to argue more.

So he whispered to a bodyguard who was holding a nine-strand steel fork next to him in a low voice: "Brother, are you really escorting Mongolian pay?"

Although the bodyguard was on guard, he still answered Li Qingwei's question.After all, these two days, the two of them got along pretty well.

"Xiao Daoist doesn't know, what we are escorting is indeed the military salary of the Mongolian army, but it's not that we have to do the business of treachery and glory." The bodyguard replied.

"But what's hidden in it, your family members are in the hands of the Mongols?" Li Qingwei didn't immediately scold the bodyguard, but asked calmly.

After all, people can't help themselves in the arena. In this world, only a very small number of people can control their own destiny, and most of them can only passively follow the trend.

Even passively helping the evildoers, although their behavior is very shameful, even heinous, worthy of death.

But it is impossible for everyone to be a saint. Many people have never thought that if they stood in his position, would their own choices be the same as his?

While sinners are disgusting, those who don't empathize and take the moral high ground to accuse and criticize others are just as disgusting.

"That's not the case. It's just because the Mongolian army has a tradition of plundering people. If this batch of bodyguard silver is not delivered on time, then the Mongolian soldiers will plunder the people in the surrounding villages and towns. At that time, there will be more than tens of millions of people who will suffer." The bodyguard replied. road.

"Then after the Mongolian army gets the military salary, it will start another war against us in the Song Dynasty. I don't know how many Han compatriots will die by then. How many bloods will be shed on the battlefield. Moreover, 'grazing the grass valley' is a Mongolian tradition. Could it be that they received After the military pay, won't they harm the common people?" Li Qingwei continued to ask.

"Hehe, I don't know what the Taoist leader is, because the Mongols often plundered the Han people in the north, which aroused many people's resistance. In order to reduce this resistance, Kublai Khan of Mongolia once issued repeated orders to restrict the Mongolian soldiers. Looting and killing the Han people in the territory wantonly, and telling the general people that as long as they have paid enough money and collected enough money and food for the Mongolian army, then the Mongolian soldiers will not plunder."

"If the people paid the money and food, but were still looted by the Mongolian army, then the Mongolian commander and the looting soldiers in that area will be executed on the spot together." After finishing speaking, the bodyguard continued to guard against the thieves around.

Their eyes seemed to be guarding peace.

Li Qingwei probably understood what the bodyguard meant, that is to say, Kublai Khan adopted a gentle policy towards the Han people. Although he still had to feed the wolves with his body, he paid enough "meat" to feed the wolves, and he could let the wolves eat their fill. Wolves don't bite.

But if the "meat" is not delivered to the wolf's mouth in time, then the wolf will eat the surrounding people. At that time, the people will not only lose money, but also lose the chastity of their wives and daughters, and even their lives.

Which is more important, everyone is clear at a glance.

After all, the desert dragon they are proud of, Genghis Khan, said a famous saying that has been passed down for thousands of years.

"The greatest joy of a man is to subdue the mob, defeat the enemy, seize everything from him, ride his horse, and accept his beautiful wife and concubines."

However, Genghis Khan, who swept across Europe and Asia, is indeed qualified to say such rhetoric.

After all, before Dr. Maxim was born, the nomadic army was an invincible monster-level existence. They only started singing and dancing after Dr. Maxim became an adult.

The current situation made Li Qingwei very embarrassed.

It is true that the bandits robbed the Mongolian military pay out of self-interest and chivalry. If the Mongols lost their military pay, their morale would definitely be frustrated, and the Song army guarding the south would be able to reduce a lot of pressure.Can save a lot of people from dying.

And these escorts safely sent the darts to the Mongolian army camp in Luoyang, which could prevent the Mongolian army from looting the people without their military pay and out of control, and could also save many people.

Therefore, Li Qingwei didn't know which side he should stand on. After all, both sides' positions were correct.It's all about saving lives.

All living beings are the same, the life of the common people is the life, the life of Song Bing is also the life, the life of one person is the life, and the life of thousands of people is also the life.There is no way to favor one over another.

This made Li Qingwei feel difficult.
