Since the Accounting: A Chronicle of the Roman Khanate

Chapter 465

"Speaking of which, how did you fight the Ming Dynasty? Are the tactics different from ours?" Father Peter took this opportunity and continued to ask.

"There's no difference, they all fight the same. We are not regular troops, so what tactics can we use?" Tang Saier shook his head repeatedly, and it seemed that he was very dissatisfied with himself.

"Although we tried our best to delay it for more than a year, the situation at that time meant that we could no longer wait any longer. If we continue to prepare, I am afraid that the losses every day will exceed the number of people saved."

"Then if we are not prepared enough, we will not be able to defeat the court?" Father Peter asked.

"What are you thinking? How can you defeat the imperial court?" Tang Saier said with a smile.

"Then this..."

"There are many kinds of rebellions." Tang Sai'er showed a maturity that was completely beyond his age, and instead gave some reason to the middle-aged scholar: "Overthrowing the imperial court is only the most violent kind of rebellion. Although this kind of rebellion is generally small in scale, The biggest, the most famous, but that’s only in rare cases.”

"Most of the time, people who rebel don't have such high goals and don't pursue changing the government. That's what we do." She said: "This kind of rebellion is the most common - how many years have there been We have them all. So, there’s nothing surprising.”

"You guys, why are you making such a fuss?" She asked strangely, "Isn't this one of the normal ways of communication between the people and the government?"

"That's right for you to say..." Wang Da Lama thought for a while: "It's the same as what I just thought. We have the same thing here, but it's just various demonstrations and mutinies that replaced the civil uprising."

"What's the use of the parade? If you don't attack and kill the officials, the government will ignore it." Tang Sai'er said without thinking.

"This is a matter of word translation." Wang Dalai Lama explained: "The so-called parade is not about the refugees making trouble on the street. The original meaning of the word is 'march'. It means that in ancient Rome, legionnaires would suddenly disobey orders. Leave the station and start marching towards key points - most of the time it's the city of Rome."

"They are not just making trouble. Along the way, the legionnaires who marched into Rome often plundered everywhere. They especially liked to plunder the hinterland of Italy and the estates run by the senators, because they were generally rich and poorly guarded. If they could not be appeased in time, The homes of the senators had to be ransacked by these soldiers. Therefore, the military parade has such a high deterrent effect and can have a great...maybe even too great an effect."

"In that case, the same applies to Europe and Persia." Father Peter thought for a while: "I compiled church history and found that records of natural disasters and records of heresy often appear together. The explanation of the Catholic Church is how everyone lives. If you don't do it well, you will easily fail the test and accept the temptation of the devil, so there will be more heretical sects and religious wars. But looking at it this way, it doesn't seem to be the case."

"When life is not good, local people will also have civil uprisings. But they do not have the organizational methods of the East and Rome. The best organization is the church. Although civil uprisings often occur, they cannot defeat the local military aristocrats. Everyone If you don't know about these things, you will be suppressed. And larger disturbances that attract the attention of all countries are often classified as religious wars."

"Have you noticed that Alemany has recently said that a heretic sect has become active. I think this may be a similar omen." He reminded Wang Lama.

"Indeed. It seems that we really need to pay more attention. I will write more about this issue in the next report." Wang Dalai Lama thought for a while and agreed.

"You see, as long as we have more experience, we can find the key to many problems through comparison." He turned to Tang Sai'er and said: "However, the main difference here lies in the government. Although the logic of the people seems to be It sounds almost the same, but the experience of dealing with the government is probably not easy to use." "I don't know how the people here acted. What we said at the time... After the incident, the government responded very quickly. We attacked In the county town, the Ming army stationed in the city was eliminated, and the government immediately sent people to talk about Zhao'an."

"This is all a lie," Father Peter concluded.

"It's hard to say." Tang Saier seemed to know all about this and analyzed it in detail: "Most of the time, Zhao'an is indeed true. And generally speaking, the more capable the locals are at fighting, the more the government's attitude towards Zhao'an The more sincere it is. Everyone is not a fool, and they all know the risks involved. To put it bluntly, it is precisely because there are many successful Zhao'an cases that occasional deception can deceive people."

"After all, the damage caused by the civil uprising is too serious. Even if it is suppressed, a high price will be paid. Moreover, it is useless to gain a few leaders through tricks. The White Lotus Sect, the Ming Sect, the Taoist Sect, and even the rural gentlemen can all lead people Rebellion. As long as there are still people oppressing the people, there will be no shortage of people who will continue to lead."

"So, although Mr. Da and others felt that the government was trying to trick people, it also depends on the time. Normally, the government does like to trap the leaders, but if the local people really gather to rebel, the government generally does not dare to trick people. is you."

"This is quite complicated..." Father Peter exclaimed: "How can this be summed up from experience..."

"The more you fight, the more you will know." Tang Sai'er said, "Moreover, only after you understand the government can you deal with it better. For example, in our mantra, although we call it 'official' and 'chaoting' every day, the official Internally, they are not all in the same group."

"If there is a civil uprising in the county, the county magistrate will be in bad luck. Because there is competition among the officials. If he cannot settle the matter and is deemed to have caused more harm than good, the government will immediately abandon him. Officials, protect the benefits of more people. Moreover, the actual number of official positions is limited, and I don’t know how many people are waiting for his downfall so that they can take up their own positions."

"Like our time, the commotion reached a point where even the government could not suppress it. So the government and the province wanted to issue an imperial edict as soon as possible to cover up the matter."

"Then why do you disagree again?" Father Peter asked curiously: "Didn't you say that you don't hope to overthrow the Ming Dynasty?"

"This matter is too big. It can be said that all the gentlemen in Shandong have been dragged into the water." Tang Sai'er said: "If only a county magistrate or even a prefect should bear the responsibility, the big shots in Shandong's official circles can still manage to settle the matter. , from 'a bitter common people' to a 'hard-pressed county magistrate', to allow both parties to compromise with each other and achieve a result that everyone can accept."

"But this time, if the provincial gentlemen want to cover up bigger problems, they must continue to squeeze money from the people. Otherwise, they will also be doomed." She directly pointed out the difference: "But we, the people, It’s really impossible to survive. If we continue to oppress us, no one will survive. How can we both live together if our lives are gone? One side must be destroyed. This kind of imperial edict is naturally meaningless."

"So I decided at that time that this was either a delaying tactic to wait for us to lay down our weapons before suppressing it; or it was a ploy to take advantage of the opportunity and try to induce us to split. Judging from the aftermath, it should be both."

"There are so many ways here..." Father Peter sighed with emotion: "Rebellion has become a specialized knowledge..."

"That's okay if you think so." Tang Sai'er scratched his head: "I think it's okay, it's not that profound. I explained it to everyone at the time, and they all agreed. Several of our sects specially formed an alliance and swore an oath. Do not accept the government’s orders and do not betray other brothers and sisters.”

"The Great Fairy officially pushed me out. She spread the news everywhere, saying that I had obtained the sword hidden in the stone box and the military book given by the Nine Heavens Xuannv, which was why the previous attack on the county town went so smoothly. Everyone elected me as the leader. , prepare to deal with the next round of attacks by officers and soldiers."
