Dragon Soul in the late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 132

The meeting place was in the front hall of the magistrate's yamen, guarded by officers and soldiers all around, with expressionless faces, murderous eyes in their eyes, as if strangers should not enter. In the past few days, there have been several discussions in a row.

Qin Liangcheng was also tied up and taken back to Chongqing City. At this time, three hundred leather whips had been drawn, and he was hung at the gate of the magistrate's office to show the public. His skin was torn apart, and the soldiers knew in their hearts that Zhu Gan had made a real fuss. , Usually when I go in and out, I have to pant softly.

Yu Song, who led the troops to Luzhou, was also recruited back by Zhu Gan overnight. This hole will eventually become bigger and bigger, and eventually become a bandit force. No matter how powerful it is, it will kill people without permission, and it will eventually be overthrown by this troubled world.

Li Shimin's words are well said, water can carry a boat and also capsize it.

Treat the people like a piece of grass today, and tomorrow the people will overthrow you from the beginning. Zhu Gan doesn't care about reputation, but he cares extremely about the impact of this matter. This unhealthy trend must kill it.

Yu Song couldn't come back in Kuizhou, but he sent someone to send a letter by sending pigeons: "Qin Liangcheng was born in the fields, rose in the countryside, wild and unruly, but I think of him as a piece of my father's heart." Filial piety, the final general is willing to guarantee with his head that he will never commit another crime."

After reading Yu Song's letter, Zhu Gan slapped the thin page on the table, and said coldly: "What a Yu Song, this guy stopped flattering and flattering, and picked up the brother Loyalty, what does he have to do with Qin Liangcheng, what a shit relationship, is he trying to form a clique for personal gain, or does he want to show me his brother's loyalty and let me give him a reward?"

Some words can only be understood but not expressed in words, as long as each of them knows clearly in their hearts, but when Zhu Gan picked up the words, the faces of the generals below were extremely ugly, and they couldn't persuade them anymore.

Looking at the silent soldiers, Zhu Gan said coldly: "Say it all! Are you dumb? It's been three days, what have you all said? I'd rather call you back instead of a war. I know why. ?"

A commander said cautiously: "My lord, could it be because there is something hidden in it that Qin Liangcheng wants to lead the army to stand on his own."

"Hmph! A bunch of idiots, what did I tell you?" Zhu Gan's voice suddenly rose a little bit, and he stared at the person who spoke, with an extremely stern expression. Sin, the end will be unknown."

Zhu Gan leaned back on the chair in disappointment, with a slumped face, sighed heavily, and said softly: "You are very good, at least you have the courage to say it, I have educated you, and I have told you, what is the purpose of our war? For what, in private, you can say it is for yourself, after all, everyone has selfishness, who doesn’t want to get promoted and get rich, and leave his name in history, it’s normal.”

"But at least you have to be clear. Although the people are weak and can be miserable, they are the majority after all. You have pushed them into a hurry. One day they will rise up and resist, no matter who their opponents are or how powerful they are. You took everything from them, what else can they lose, death? Ridiculous..."

"So we have to understand righteousness. What is righteousness is the interests of the majority of people, that is, the interests of the common people. The name must be noble, at least under the guise of nobleness, so that you can act like a bitch. Everyone is fine..."

Zhu Gan picked out his words clearly, and showed them bloody and naked in front of everyone, stripping off his noble coat, and the bottom was so dirty.

These words were like a giant hand, overturning the beliefs in everyone's hearts. The belief that Zhu Gan had established for them made it difficult for everyone to accept for a while, and they were very confused.

For a long time, they were not afraid of death, took the lead, and thought about the idea of ​​getting promoted and getting rich in their hearts, but this was quickly strangled in the cradle by the sacred thoughts in their hearts. , can you still rush to the forefront so bravely and spare no expense?

Looking at the confusion of the crowd, the corners of Zhu Gan's mouth slightly turned up, evoking a wicked smile, and a flash of light flashed in his eyes. Only those who can stand the toss will not be afraid of tossing. One day in the future, they will face this nation. The righteousness is shaken, and the belief is unstable. As the saying goes, if you study well for three years and learn badly for three days, you will have to toss about it. After making them doubt, your belief in your heart will be firmer.

Snapped!He slapped his hands on the desk, and said sharply, "Look at you guys. I once heard a saying that there is no revolution in the era of breech-loading guns. Do you know how ridiculous this sentence is?"

After Zhu Gan finished speaking, he glanced at the crowd, only to see that they were staring at him earnestly, as if he was in a daze and humbled to be taught.

"The breech-loading gun is a very powerful firearm. It represents the advanced and efficient productivity of this era, and it also represents a kind of power. Why do people say this, because those who hold this power are afraid of the 'weak' people , so it is necessary to make the people fearful and afraid of the power in their hands..."

Zhu Gan's tone was deafening, after chewing carefully, he was able to understand some of the essence, analyzed the reasons, and said again from the outside to the inside: "What is righteousness, but giving up one's life for righteousness, leaving a name in history, and remembering it for future generations. You, you Where did you come from, from your parents, where did your parents come from, from the nation, you live a lifetime, repay the kindness of your parents, the kindness of the nation, or you can live selfishly, at most for a few decades, until you grow old The same is in vain, can the wealth and glory be taken away? With this opportunity to serve the nation, why not cherish it, don’t ask you to sacrifice your life for righteousness, only ask you to do your part for this nation and yourself..."

Zhu Gan seemed to be suspected of dragging the topic further and further, and he didn't know whether he was trying the case or taking the opportunity to calm down the generals under his command. He sighed quietly and said: "I have said so much, but I just want to let you He treats the common people well, but Qin Liangcheng destroys the seedlings and slaughters the city for his own selfishness, this evil deed is heinous, and as a military judge, he knows how to break the law, he is the worst, not killing is not enough to anger the common people."

Yu Song, who had been silent all this time, suddenly answered: "Your lord is wise, Qin Liangcheng is a man with ulterior motives, even though he is a man of ten thousand, he exceeds his authority to exercise the power of a man of ten thousand men, and as a military judge, he does not think about using his life, and frame Zhongliang everywhere. In one day, 16 centurion commanders, two thousand commanders, and countless soldiers were arrested. The red-clothed army has strict military laws. How could there be so many crimes? power, even more to protect his confidantes, and take the opportunity to crowd out his colleagues."

"In terms of people, it's just for the sake of his father, the Qin family. The Qin family also handed over all the food to the court, but they just went hungry for a few meals, and they couldn't bear the rumors. If a farmer died, the whole town would have to be buried with him. His heart is so vicious and narrow, such people must not be easily used, and should be executed immediately."

Everyone knew that Yu Song was ruthless, but when they heard his words with their own ears, the generals had ugly faces and were extremely afraid of him, and the soldiers with the prefix tiger looked at him in amazement. Although Yu Song was ruthless and frightening, but They knew that no matter how dark his heart was, he would never be mean to his own people and act double-faced.

"You all go out! Yu Song and Lu Xiangsheng stay here." Zhu Qian rubbed his forehead and waved his hand to let everyone leave.

In the empty lobby, only the two of them and Wang Chengen were left. Zhu Gan leaned on the seat tiredly, rubbed his eyes, and said softly, "Yu Song, I've suffered you this time."

"The last general is not bitter. The last general said that the world needs a united and powerful voice, and any noise should be eliminated. For this reason, the last general dares to sacrifice himself." Yu Song knelt on one knee, speaking calmly and forcefully. swear.
