People in the Ming Dynasty are lawless

Chapter 538: The Ming Dynasty is coming, and we will have a good life
It’s true that many people present were a little surprised by the deputy general’s words.

According to common sense, it would take a jerk to for a general to abandon his soldiers and run away alone. How could such a person do such a thing? Wouldn't the soldiers under him hate him to death?

But I didn't expect that the deputy general would go against his usual behavior and defend the general. This is really rare.

Doesn’t this kind of person know what smells good or bad?
The deputy general saw the expressions of all the Ming soldiers present and was about to speak when other soldiers spoke up.

"The general abandoned us and ran away. How can we protect such a person?"

"That's right, a coward!"

"If we catch him, we must give him a good beating!"

"You'd better be careful. Don't we know what situation we are in now?"

"Too!"

Everyone was dejected.

I guess he doesn't know what to do.

The best thing to do at this time is to shut up and wait for the Ming army's arrangements.

They are now both convinced and unconvinced.

After all, there were not many Ming troops this time, only 400 people.
And now they have more than 2,000 people, which can be said to be a lot more numerous than the enemy.

According to past experience, the side with more people definitely has an advantage, but what I didn’t expect is that they no longer have the advantage now.

Instead, he was captured by four hundred men.

If this had happened in the past, people would have laughed at you to death if this kind of thing had gotten out.

But now they find that it seems to be normal.

Although they don't have many people, their weapons are very good.

It can kill you from hundreds of meters away, and by the time you react you may be lying on the ground.

With such a powerful weapon, they certainly have nothing to fear.

It is precisely because of this that they now feel at ease.

Because they feel that even if a god came, he would be killed now.

When we thought of this, we no longer felt depressed.

However, they couldn't understand why the general had abandoned them and now the deputy general was trying to cover up for the general.

He has already abandoned us, so why should we protect him?

Are you so shameless?
The deputy general certainly understood the feelings of the soldiers present, but there was one point he still wanted to defend the general on.

That is, the general did not want to abandon all the soldiers present, but because he had no choice.

Now everyone is still alive and well, not because of the Ming army’s mercy, but because the Ming army knows that some people should be killed and some should not be killed.

For these ordinary soldiers, no matter what, there is a chance to survive.

But for a general, if he is caught, he will basically die.

And those who rush to the front line are more likely to be killed directly.

The deputy general explained: "You only know that the general abandoned you, but do you know that the general was helpless? You don't know the situation, but I know it very well."

As he spoke, the deputy general pointed at the people trapped under the rubble.

“The people who really have the power to mobilize the army are all suppressed inside.

They had no idea what the situation was on the battlefield, but they still gave blind orders even though they clearly had no idea of ​​the situation.

In this situation, even if a god came, it would be useless.

I think the general was right to run away. There was no need for him to risk his life for this inevitable death.

If you want to blame someone, blame these bastards who pretend to know everything when they know nothing.

We even told them that the Ming army was too powerful and they shouldn't put up any futile resistance, but they still didn't listen to our advice.

The general is helpless too!"

As he spoke, the iron-blooded deputy general's eyes actually turned red.

Wang Dahai and the others laughed after hearing this.

Although there were so many unfavorable conditions, abandoning the soldiers and running away alone still seemed extremely shameless.

However, the soldiers present felt that there was no need to blame, as it was their business.

It's true that after the deputy general said this, the soldiers didn't really blame the general that much.

This surprised Wang Dahai and others very much.

These soldiers are really suffering from a masochistic system. The general has abandoned you and ran away alone. Do you think this is right?

Where can I find such soldiers?

But think about it, not every fool has so many places.

Seeing that so many soldiers did not understand the general's difficulties, the deputy general immediately explained: "You have not seen how hateful the city lord and his people are. They don't really care about our lives and deaths. They only think about the so-called benefits of each doing their own thing in Mandala City.

In their eyes, we are nothing but dispensable. They have even thought about it long ago. Even if all of us died, in their eyes, it would just be a few more corpses.

Even if we defend this city and finally defeat the Ming army, what will we gain?

We get nothing. We still just have a few more bodies."

The deputy general's eyes were full of sarcasm when he said this.

I guess I've been suppressing my true feelings in my heart for a long time, and I think I'll feel better after I say them all out.

So at this time he was in a more sober state, no longer looking as hopeless as before.

But when the deputy general said this, the soldiers couldn't stand it.

Some soldiers almost came forward to pick up the deputy general because they felt that the deputy general was too protective of the general. A qualified general should not abandon his soldiers at any time, but their general abandoned them, and the deputy general was still protecting him.

But for some reason, after listening to the deputy general's explanation, Wang Dahai and his men felt that the general's actions were excusable. In fact, for the Ming army, this general at least did not let these soldiers fight with their lives.

Without further ado, Wang Dahai and his men directly accepted the prisoners.

Arrangements for other people will also be properly handled.

The most important thing is that the city lord seems to still be buried inside.

So Wang Dahai gave an order to the captured soldiers, and without doing anything else, they picked up their shovels and dug out the people buried under the city gate tower. No matter whether they were dead or alive, they had to see what happened to these people.

And soon everyone had the results.

These clan leaders who lived a life of luxury on a daily basis never dreamed that just by standing in the best position to see far away, a cannon would hit the house above their heads, and then they would be gloriously buried inside.

Otherwise, how can we say that formalism is killing people?

If these honorable clan leaders could give up their positions and hand over the positions to their deputy generals who were responsible for commanding the soldiers in battle, perhaps they would not be treated like this.

It's a pity that these people look down on generals. Even the old patriarch was originally a general, but once he was infected with these bad habits, he even insisted on pretending to be cultured and absorbing the aura of having fought on the battlefield, just hoping that those real nobles would be able to accept him.

How can Mandala City last long under such an atmosphere?

Soon the bodies of the old patriarch and the city lord were dug out. They were the most unlucky ones because they were right under the main beam of the house. After one shot, the main beam collapsed and hit them right on top, breaking their bones and tendons.

This is what it means to be too concerned about face. One really dies over face.

No one expressed any sadness over the deaths of these two people.

Wang Dahai ordered the body to be pulled out and then continued digging.

This time, the heads of the fifteen families in Mandala City were killed in one fell swoop. Only three or four were still alive, but the survivors looked half-dead.

Firstly, I was oppressed, and secondly, I was angry.

They saw with their own eyes that their grandson abandoned them and others at the last moment, and then they saw them either kneeling on the ground, surrendering motionlessly, or becoming a corpse not far away.

The pain of seeing a young person die is painful enough, and it is mixed with a lot of resentment and is extremely contradictory, leaving the surviving clan leaders at a loss as to how to describe their feelings.

On the other hand, the Ming army won a great victory with no casualties, and there was not even a real battle. The problem was solved with just two artillery shells.

If wars all over the world could end like this, it would be okay for the soldiers even if they did not achieve any merit.

The more than one hundred martial arts people brought here finally realized how many outrageous mistakes the thief had made before. At the last moment, he actually wanted to fight against such an army. No one knows what was in his brain.

If at the beginning these gangsters were only moved by what the thieves said, now they are completely subdued by the military might of the Ming Dynasty.

People can either die in a blaze of glory or live wisely.

But nowadays, this group of people in the world are living very sensibly.

Why do you have to be so desperate as to use your own flesh to resist other people's cannons and muskets?
When the Ming army escorted these clan leaders into the city in a mighty force, many people were watching.

And this is when this group of gangsters came into play.

They had promoted it in Mandala City before, especially that the Ming Dynasty did not intend to show any strength after coming here, but instead wanted to reform and change the law, so that the people could live and work in peace and contentment, and let the rich pay more taxes.

Now when the Ming army came here to carry out propaganda, they actually encountered obstruction from these families, so some conflicts broke out, but these conflicts ended quickly, and those rebels who attempted to obstruct the progress of the Ming army have now been killed.

“Fellow villagers, we have said before that the Ming Dynasty came here to make our lives better and to enable all of us to live more like human beings.

But some people don't want us to stand up, they want us to crawl under their feet forever and be their slaves! "

These words immediately resonated with the onlookers.

I have said before that there is no so-called national awakening in this era. The people’s thinking is very simple. We are willing to listen to whoever can make our lives better.

Therefore, many people had already become shaken when they heard about the Ming Dynasty's reforms. However, there are still many powerful family forces here. They have controlled the people for so many years, so of course they will try their best to prevent any forces with other ideas from coming in.

Just as the people were about to accept the Ming Dynasty's reform ideas, they were immediately controlled by these families. Many people were going to enthusiastically support the Ming Dynasty, but were quickly killed by the people in the City Lord's Mansion.

This terrorist-like approach frightened many people, who had no choice but to hide.

The idea of ​​living a good life has been shattered, and the people can only live in a daze.

But unexpectedly, just when everyone thought there was no hope, the sound of cannons suddenly came from outside the city gate.

The sound was like a thunder that woke up all the people.

The people who didn't know what was going on at first now understood what was going on after hearing the propaganda from the gangsters.

It turned out that the Ming Dynasty army had really rushed in. Although they were troubled by those family forces outside the city gate, they have now entered the city.

If it was just a kind of publicity before, now it is really here to help me and others.

Thinking of this, many people began to rejoice.

"Great! We are finally having a good time!"

"We will have a good life when the Ming Dynasty comes."

"Long live the Ming Dynasty!"

"Long live!"

The people cheered.

Seeing how the people welcomed them into the city, Wang Dahai and his companions were a little stunned.

Although I knew that the people of Srivijaya were living in dire straits, I never expected this result.

It seems that the rule of people like Srivijaya is really unpopular.

But it’s also good this way. Only with such a popular support can we truly do things well.

Wang Dahai and his men quickly arrived at the City Lord's Mansion, and directly occupied it. Then they took control of the people in the City Lord's Mansion.

Although Wang Dahai has never been a real leader, for some reason he now has a desire to express himself.

Perhaps he had once been a poor commoner, so when he saw the sharp contrast between these poor commoners and the rich people wearing thick satin, he had the desire to help the common people to stand out.

So Wang Dahai stood at the gate of the City Lord's Mansion and said to the people present:

"Fellow villagers, we Ming Chao came from far away not to rob you of anything. Of course, if you want to ask us why we came from such a faraway place without any purpose, then I will tell you today why we came here.

First of all, we didn’t come here on our own initiative. We came here to chase the pirate Chen Zuyi.

Like you, we in the Ming Dynasty were once bullied by this pirate.

The pirates were so powerful that we were forced to forbid the people from fishing in the sea."

When the people heard that the powerful Ming army had also suffered from the bullying of pirates, they immediately resonated with the situation.

In fact, the reason why they are still like this is because they were bullied by pirates.

But the people may not know that their situation is different from that of the Ming Dynasty.

But the Ming Dynasty was indeed harassed by these pirates.

But the pirates here in Sanfuqi do business with Sanfuqi...
