Chapter 161 Confrontation
A young man stood in front of Lu Xiangsheng, quietly looking at Lu Xiangsheng looking at the letter he gave to Lu Xiangsheng. He stood straight at his waist. Although he was dressed as a vendor, for a bright-eyed man like Lu Xiangsheng, he could see at a glance that he was a strictly trained soldier.
Lu Xiangsheng silently read the letter, and the expression on his face changed many times in a row. He almost tore off the letter twice, but finally he couldn't help looking down.
It was not until Lu Xiangsheng finished reading the letter that he sat silently in the chair, closed his eyes and was silent for a long time. Suddenly, he opened his eyes again and stared at the young man in front of him like electricity.
However, the young man still looked at Lu Xiangsheng calmly, as if this life did not belong to him at all, calmly looking at Lu Xiangsheng.
After Lu Xiangsheng looked at him for a long time, he asked, "Aren't you afraid that I will kill you?"
This descendant smiled indifferently and said, "Since I dare to come, then I'm not afraid that adults will kill me!"
Lu Xiangsheng then asked him, "I want to know what Xiao Tianjian has given you, so that you are so loyal to him, and even do things for him at the cost of your life?"
After listening to this, the later student's expression became serious. After thinking about it, he replied, "Our general didn't give me anything, but he gave me dignity!" This is what he told us! He said that no matter what you do, you must live with dignity! So I believe what he said, and he really gives us dignity! He is the only one in the world who is really good for us ordinary people! So I'm willing to give him my life! Is that enough?
Lu Xiangsheng was silent for a long time, and then said, "I don't deny that there are indeed some things that your masters have done right, but you are still the people of the Ming Dynasty. Is it possible that you can't contribute to the court and contribute to the court?"
The descendant suddenly laughed and shook his head and said, "Daming people? Are we the people of the Ming Dynasty? Haha! It's ridiculous! My lord! So I would like to ask your excellency, if according to what you said, if we are the people of the Ming Dynasty, what has the court given us? But do we think we are the people?
When our family suffered a great drought, did the court reduce or exempt our taxes? Can the imperial government give us some relief? When my parents starved to death, did the imperial government come to help us because we were their people? When the official sent someone to rob my sister and said he was going to sell her for tax deduction, did we think we were the people?
When the servant broke my arm, did you think I was a citizen of Daming? They threw me into the ditch like a dead dog and asked me to die. Did they think I was a citizen of Daming?
But when I climbed to the roadside and was about to die, several hungry people wanted to kill me. When they ate my meat, they met our general, and our general treated me as a human, asked people to feed me water and food, and help me tie the broken arm by the servant, teach me to read, and let me live like a human. I know. Only then did I know. We are not the people of Daming. In the eyes of the court and some officials, we are not even as good as a dog! I only know how to squeeze the last bone and blood from us! As for whether we live or not, it's none of their business at all!
But the adults say that we are the people of the Ming Dynasty and want to work for the imperial court! The court treats our people like this, but it wants us to be unconditionally loyal to it, haha! Don't adults think it's extremely funny?
Lu Xiangsheng's blue veins on his forehead burst out. Suddenly, he slapped the table, and even the pen holder on the table was shaken to the ground by his palm. He shouted angrily, "Sit! ......”
But when Lu Xiangsheng drank, he sat back in the chair, showing a trace of pain and closing his eyes hard.
Although this descendant was really too rebellious, Lu Xiangsheng knew that his words were not fabricated. From the eyes of this descendant, he could see that everything he said was true. He did not lie, and he also knew that this kind of thing happened not only to him, but also in Daming. Such a thing is happening on the ground.
When Lu Xiangsheng opened his eyes again, he regained his composure and stopped discussing these issues with this descendant. Instead, he picked up the letter on the table and asked him, "Can I believe what your so-called Marshal Xiao said?"
Later Shengsheng replied proudly, "Our marshal has always talked in a word. When it comes to it, and our marshal once said to me that there are not many people he admires in this world, but you are one of them. He also often said that when today's officials really cherish the people and think about the people. There are a few, and adults are exactly one of them. Unfortunately, adults are not trusted by today's emperor. If today's emperor can hand over the power of the world to people like adults, how can we rebel?
So this is also why our general stopped the expansion in Shanxi after the adults moved to Xuanda. He would rather turn south to Henan, because he respects important people and doesn't want to be your enemy!
And this time, if it hadn't been for the order of the adults to send troops to suppress us, our commander-in-chief would not have come back to Jinnan and conquer Lu'an Mansion. This is also impolite!
So as long as the adults no longer send troops to suppress us, then our general said, as long as you are still in charge of Shanxi military affairs, then our commander will promise that he will never expand his territory in Shanxi from now on!
Even our marshal said that we are all from the Han family. We should not have killed each other. We should try our best to resist the construction slaves outside the customs. Unfortunately, most of the officers and soldiers in the Ming Dynasty today are not enough. They have a way to kill inside. A pair of Shangnu and Tats entered the invasion, so they avoided the war to avoid the war, surrendered, and let the Jiannu Tats* * My land in the Ming Dynasty harms the people like entering no man's land!
The reason why our general rebelled is to see clearly that today's court is not enough to protect the country, so sooner or later, if the officers and soldiers can't stop the tartars and can't afford the responsibility of defending the country, then our marshal will lead us to the top and eliminate the slaves!
If, my lord, when you build a slave and enter the invaders, when there are no soldiers available, our Xing Tianjun is willing to help you and resist foreign aggression together!"
After hearing this, Lu Xiangsheng was angry and funny. He couldn't help laughing angrily and pointed to the posterity and said, "Joke! What a big joke. I am an official and you are a thief. The world is the world of the Ming Dynasty. What right do you have to negotiate with me? It's my business to send troops to suppress you. How can I compromise with you? What a joke! As long as I'm still alive, you thieves will never be allowed to harm the world! Sooner or later, I will still eliminate you!"
"Hahahaha! Joke! What adults say is a joke! Are we evil to the world? I'm afraid that we are only the corrupt officials and dignitaries who are not kind for the rich! This world is the world of all ordinary people. Are there more ordinary people or more powerful people? Along the way, I also saw what kind of life do the common people live on the ground where the government is in charge? The people are hungry and hungry, but we, the so-called thieves, have supported millions of displaced people and let them eat and wear food and clothes. Who is the harm to the world? I'm afraid Lord Lu knows it himself!" As soon as Lu Xiangsheng's words fell, the later generation also laughed, even if he refuted it.
Lu Xiangsheng was immediately choked by this descendant, because what this descendant said was true. He had also been to the area controlled by Xing Tianjun. It was true that the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, but in the territory controlled by other government officials, the people lived worse than death. The people in many places in the world are now secret. In the middle of the discussion, they couldn't wait for Xing Tianjun to hit their place quickly. They would rather be the Shunmin of Xing Tianjun than be under the control of the imperial court and the government again.
In the past year, Xing Tianjun has launched the banner of suppressing the army and punishing the people. It is said that where Henan has passed, the people can be said to be looking forward to the wind, which can also be said to be the hearts of the people!
Lu Xiangsheng couldn't help but be angry and angry. He stood up and pulled out the sword on his waist and stabbed the throat of the posterity standing in front of his desk. The posterity did not move. He sneered with sarcasm and looked at Lu Xiangsheng's sword stab his throat without blinking. For a moment.
Just as Lu Xiangsheng's sword was about to pierce the throat of the posterior, Lu Xiangsheng stopped his hand. The sharp sword almost stuck to the throat of the posterior, and the three-foot green edge trembled slightly, but the posterior still did not move.
"Are you really not afraid of death?" Lu Xiangsheng glared at this descendant angrily.
And this later student sneered and said, "Your excellency is still forgetful. I have just said that if I'm afraid of death, I won't come!" Our general should have said it to the adult. It has been clearly written in the letter. Whether the adult is willing or not, it is the adult's own business. I have said everything I should say. If you want to kill me, please!"
Lu Xiangsheng withdrew the sword in his hand, put the sword into the sheath, and sneered, "I won't kill you!" I still know this truth from the two armies fighting!
However, Xiao Xingtian didn't tell the truth. On the surface, he said that the two of us did not compete with each other, but in fact, he still secretly did something! So let me ask you, a gust of wind in Hequ, and the two groups of horse thieves, the black wolves in Ying County, are they from your Xing Tianjun? Or is it not under the jurisdiction of Xiao Xingtian? Don't tell me that they have nothing to do with you! Otherwise, you don't have to say anything!"
After seeing Lu Xiangsheng take back his sword, the clenched fists behind his back gradually relaxed. After listening to Lu Xiangsheng's words, he hesitated for a moment, but immediately nodded and said, "Not bad! It seems that Lord Lu is really a bright-sighted person! A gust of wind and the black wolf are indeed our people! But adults sit in Xuanda, and they must also understand their style of behavior! What they are doing must be very clear to adults!
They are mainly Mongolians who go out to plunder the customs. At the same time, they are also some unscrupulous merchants who collude with the construction slaves outside the customs. Can't these people rob and kill them? And most of the food they robbed was given to the people in the area of Xuanda. Have they ever harmed the people of the Ming Dynasty? Besides, since adults came here, have they ever filled in too much trouble for them?
Now that the adults have seen it, we have nothing to hide. A gust of wind and black wolves, were not arranged by our marshal for adults. Before the adults went here, they had already been sent here by our marshal, so that one day, they could become our punishment here. The heavenly army is the vanguard against the tari! Moreover, before the adults came to the post, our general personally recalled them to Yangcheng and personally told them that after the adults came to take office, they should not be the enemy of the adults, let alone cause trouble to the adults. Once the Tsar enters the bandits, they should secretly cooperate with the adults and attack the Tsars!
If the adults hadn't sent soldiers and horses south to suppress us this time, they would not have attacked Xinzhou, Ningwu, Dingxiang and other places this time to contain the adults to dispatch the border troops south! We can't be blamed!
As long as the adult agrees to our general's terms, these two men will retreat to the original ground and will never cause any trouble for the adult! I can guarantee that they and adults will not violate the river. Please rest assured about this!"
Lu Xiangsheng sat back in his chair again and nodded slightly, because as far as he knew, the two horse thieves, a gust of wind and black wolves, were indeed as this descendant said. Although they were active in the area of Xuanda, they did not do anything to harm the people. Instead, they often went out to the territory of the Mongols. They plundered, and also went out to the area of Zhangjiakou, robbed and killed a large number of caravans that sold grain, salt and other things to build slaves outside the customs, and the gains were also scattered to the people in the area of Xuanda. In Xuanda University, they were known as righteous thieves, and the people were secretly more than they had.
And these two groups of people did not fill Lu Xiangsheng with too much trouble after Lu Xiangsheng took office. On the contrary, Lu Xiangsheng was under the jurisdiction of Pingjing and used several soldiers against them, and they did not choose to directly fight against Lu Xiangsheng directly, but chose to take the initiative to retreat. The two sides did not have too fierce. Now it seems that Xiao Xingtian is indeed not lying. This man is ambitious and is not like an ordinary thief. He just wants to grab the territory and sit on the ground to be king. Instead, he really regards Jiannu and the Taran as the great enemy of the people of the Central Plains. Unfortunately, he is a thief, and he is a member of the court. If there is no such layer In terms of identity, Lu Xiangsheng really admires Xiao Tianjian and wants to make friends with him.
