Chapter 74 A snake without a head is really useless
The warriors in the army generally don’t like war very much.
The more new the soldiers are, the more they like war.
This is a strange phenomenon, but it is a very common phenomenon in the military.
In order to make their army stronger, the veterans will not advise the recruits to reduce their meritorious service, but the recruits always think that the veterans have lost their sharpness and are not worthy of talking more.
So, after a war, many new soldiers will die, while the veterans will suffer very low battle losses.
This sounds like a joke, but it is a common phenomenon among the Lantian Army.
Tuoba Shi’s head was not qualified to be made into a wine bowl and presented to Yun Zhao to shock the world, so Ma Ping hurriedly cut Tuoba Shi into five pieces.
There was no such punishment in the Lantian Army, so Ma Ping did so despite the risk of being punished.
The punishment was still carried out in front of all the people of Jishi Mountain.
When Tuoba Shi was sent by the great lama, he acted very calmly. Even when he saw his two sons being beheaded before him, he showed no expression.
When Tuoba Shi’s limbs and head were tied with ropes, Ma Ping lit a cigarette and stuffed it in Tuoba Shi’s mouth and said, “Why are you seeking death?”
< p>Tuoba Shi took two puffs of cigarette, spit out the cigarette, smiled and said: "The Tuoba family is a royal family."Ma Ping said incomprehensibly: "It has been thousands of years since Tuyuhun fell. "
Tuoba Shi said: "It's not for Tuyuhun, but for the Tuoba clan. If we don't do anything, the Tuoba clan will become Han Chinese completely."
Ma Ping. He knelt down and looked into Tuoba Shi's eyes and said, "Does it make you so ashamed to be a Han? From now on, the Tuoba family will disappear. Don't you feel sorry?"
Tuoba Shi said: "It is better for the Tuoba family to die when they become Han people."
Ma Ping stood up and waved his hand: "As you wish."
The five sturdy horses began to march toward He exerted force in five directions, and at the moment when the rope was tightened, Tuoba Shi shouted: "I don't accept it!"
The voice was so shrill that even the horse that was exerting force paused. However, driven by the sergeant, the war horse exerted force again, a harsh sound was heard, and Tuoba Shi's body was torn into five pieces.
The blood was quickly absorbed by the dry earth.
The secretary stood in front of the people and said in the coldest voice: "You should remember that those who rebel will be beheaded! No exceptions."
The scene was terrifying, but , the people present did not seem to be afraid. They had seen more horrific killing scenes before, and they no longer cared much about the mild killing scenes in Lantian.
The secretary was very disappointed...
The Dharma King of Anduo not only sent the Tuoba Stone, he also sent all the people who followed the Tuoba Stone to escape. Not only that , Dharma King also sentPeople told Ma Ping that the human-skin drum thing had nothing to do with them. They only did it if they belonged to a cult. Their teachings were benevolent, peaceful, and kind.
The young clerk lost the reason to continue pursuing responsibility.
Although he wanted to thoroughly clean the Jishi Mountain area, his superiors did not allow him to act rashly without conclusive evidence.
However, whether it is Ma Ping or the secretary, they both know that it will take a generation of efforts to turn the people here into living people instead of living zombies.
The long-term rebellion, rebellion, killing, and looting have changed the way of life of the people here.
Rebellion, rebellion is a job for them.
It’s not that they don’t know that rebellion will lead to beheading, they simply believe that if the rebellion is successful, they will be rich and well-off. As for being killed for rebelling, this is the price of failure. Death is commonplace for them.
Only if they can live a long-term stable life and get enough food from the land, they will cherish their lives.
Tuoba Shi’s rebellion was undoubtedly encouraged by some powerful forces.
The secretary even thought that it should be the numerous lamas on the Anduo grassland.
There is no evidence. Those lamas handled the matter very cleanly. Even Tuoba Shi himself, after accepting severe torture, claimed that his rebellion had nothing to do with the lamas.
The Haixi Kingdom established by Tuoba Shi in Haixi took eleven days from its establishment to its destruction.
When Yun Zhao saw the report, Haixi Kingdom had been destroyed.
"Everyone thinks Chongzhen is easy to bully."
Yun Zhao threw the report on the table, somewhat dissatisfied with Han Lingshan for bringing the documents so late.
"You are looking for people to talk to one by one these days. This is just a small matter, don't worry."
"Get ready to expand the army."
General Yun Zhao Putting his feet on the table and leaning his head on the back of the chair, he said slowly.
"Your Majesty, emergency military expansion will disrupt our plans. Today's Lantian is like a precision-operated machine that suddenly accelerates. There are many joints that need to be adjusted.
Yes. Destroying the plans we are executing, and these plans are all decided through meetings, each one is important, there is no need to disrupt the order."
Zhang Guozhu looked up at Yun Zhao, and still raised objections. .
“In the past two years, our work process has been a bit abrupt, and many things have been done very roughly, such as the Hercynian rebellion, which was completely beyond our expectations.
We didn't notice the signs beforehand, and afterward, we could only use crude force to wipe them out. This was wrong. We should slow down and let the world follow our process, instead of echoing others. "
Yun Zhao said: "I didn't do it on a whim."
Zhang Guozhu heard what Yun Zhao said,After thinking about it, he asked: "Is Your Majesty going to launch a full campaign?"
Yun Zhao said: "No, I just want to eliminate the Caotou King."
Zhang Guozhu said with a smile: "It turns out It's something that has been planned for a long time."
After saying this, he summoned his secretary to bring a thick document, opened it in front of Yun Zhao, and took out one of the documents. : "This is the preparation situation of food and fodder, this is the preparation situation of materials, this is the preparation situation of recruiting regiment training, etc.
If Your Majesty needs to know the status of the army, you have to ask Yun Yang. The big study has already assigned Some documents from the army have been sent to the Ministry of War, which is under preparation. The Secret Intelligence Department and the Supervision Department also have their own auxiliary plans. I believe Han Lingshan and Qian Shaoshao have already prepared them.
If your Majesty is ready after the conference. Start it immediately. We can sit together and discuss how to start it.
But, Your Majesty, why do you want to start it today? ”
Yun Zhao will lead Ma Ping in Longzhong. The document was handed to Zhang Guozhu and said: "Because I suddenly discovered that rebellion can happen anytime and anywhere."
After reading the document, Zhang Guozhu sighed: "People's hearts are unpredictable, so your Majesty is not prepared to pay attention to it." Did the world feel that way?"
Yun Zhao shook his head and said: "It's not just what happened in Longzhong that made me disappointed in human nature, but the accumulation of many things that made the heroes of the world hope. Anyone who becomes an emperor wants to sit on people's heads and dominate others.
And many people are willing to be used by them. I think this process of use is actually a process of mutual use, and the Ming Dynasty people have already taken advantage of them. You have chosen the wrong goal in life.
Everyone thinks that they can get the life they want through rebellion. This is actually a kind of robbery and banditry.
Maybe this is the case. It is the fastest opportunity for them to rise to prominence, transforming themselves from ordinary people to nobles in the new world.
There are not many people who are willing to live well and live through their own hands and wisdom. Good day.
This is not right.
We must change this idea as soon as possible and bring the world back to the right path.
The first thing to do is. , that is, to eliminate the Caotou King!"
Zhang Guozhu said: "Your Majesty, are you going to use the army, or are you going to use secret spies to monitor the Second Department?"
Yun Zhao thought for a while and said: "Secrets? Spies, the Second Supervision Department goes first!
Zhang Guozhu left, but Yun Zhao fell into deep thought. The day after Li Hongji became emperor, he raised his troops and went north. This time, his goal was clear. It's the capital.
Yun Zhao doesn't know what kind of impact it had on the people of Ming Dynasty after Li Hongji forced Chongzhen to commit suicide. Judging from the current situation, the co-owner of Ming Dynasty is gone, and Ming Dynasty - immediately It became a mess.
Yun Zhao learned from his own memory that after Chongzhen's death, there were some who resisted, such as Shi Kefa and Li Dingguo, and some who committed suicide, such as University Scholar Fan Jingwen, Minister of Household Affairs Ni Yuanlu and others. , and moreThose who surrendered to Li Hongji, such as eunuch Du Xun, scholar Li Jiantai... and more people chose to surrender to the Manchu Qing, such as Wu Sangui and so on.
Chongzhen seems to be of little use, but as long as it exists for one day, the people of the Ming Dynasty still know who they are to some extent. Once Chongzhen is gone, the foundation of the Ming Dynasty will no longer exist.
Just like this time - there were countless grass-headed kings in half a month.
When he was watching the Three Kingdoms, Yun Zhao never understood why Cao Cao supported Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty for a long time, why he refused to betray the Han Dynasty throughout his life, and even didn’t understand why after Cao Cao’s death, That era was truly called the Three Kingdoms Era.
As long as Cao Cao is alive - no matter which history book it is, that period of history is called - the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty.
What’s the point of doing this?
Yun Zhao now understood that the reason why Cao Cao forcibly resisted the temptation of power was for one goal - unification!
Great unification has been Yun Zhao’s goal from the beginning.
Even when he started to have ambitions to become an emperor, he never thought about any nonsense about splitting the earth to become a marquis, a king, or splitting the earth to become an emperor.
In his subconscious mind, China should be unified. At least, the map should keep the shape of a rooster.
Only a map of China that looks like a rooster can be called China.
Moreover, this rooster’s head, chest, back, tail, claws and beak are all indispensable.
The rooster is the foundation, and Yun Zhao does not mind making this rooster fatter. Even if it becomes as fat as an elephant, in Yun Zhao's eyes, it is still the same chicken.
Just like the Xiong clan a long time ago, their totem was a snake. As future generations continued to develop, the snake turned into a dragon.
So, Yun Zhao thought that he should make his voice heard at this time.
Gather the scattered hearts of the Ming Dynasty.
