Chapter 800
Even though the rebellion was really only caused by Yang Xuangan and had nothing to do with Yang Su, Yang Jian still couldn't let Yang Su go.

If Yang Xuangan did such a thing, if he still wanted to let Yang Su go, then how could the rest of the soldiers be convinced.

Even if the rest of the soldiers follow suit, what should they do? Anyway, even if they really rebel, it will not affect their families and relatives.By then, I'm afraid everything will be messed up!

"Come on, pull Qin Hui out and cut him off!" Yang Jian looked at Qin Hui who was also kneeling on the ground, and could no longer suppress the killing intent in his heart, and ordered viciously to the left and right.

He obviously didn't ask Qin Hui to summon Yang Su, but Qin Hui used his order to summon Yang Su.With Yang Jian's wisdom, he could detect the trickiness in it at a glance. This bastard had clearly joined forces with Yang Xuangan. This trip was clearly to fish out Yang Su, but it was unsuccessful in the end.

Yang Jian thought that after Dong Zhuo's death, it was a great gift for him to save his life, but instead of repaying his kindness, this person turned against him.This time, how could Yang Jian not kill this rascal to vent his hatred.

"My lord, my lord, please spare me!" At the critical moment of life and death, Qin Hui behaved no differently from other ordinary people.

"Don't procrastinate!" Facing Qin Hui's begging for mercy, Yang Jian was unmoved at all, his eyes were cold as if without the slightest emotion.

As for the other people involved in what happened last night, such as those family forces and Yang Xuangan, Yang Jian had already ordered people to clean and search.

"Zhu Qing, I don't know if there is any other way to solve our army's plight!" Yang Jian asked without any hope.

It is said that even Gao Jiong, Yang Rong, Yang Pu, and Yang Shiqi, who usually boast of their superior intelligence, can't come up with any good ideas.It's hard for a clever woman to cook without rice, without food and grass, can they still conjure up!

"My lord, it's better to collect food from the common people!" A general who played tricks stepped forward and suggested.

However, Yang Jian didn't even look at him more, and people like Gao Jiong, Yang Rong, Yang Pu, and Yang Shiqi didn't take it seriously either.

A long time ago, the grain and grass of the common people had already been confiscated by Yang Jian, leaving only a part of grain and grass enough for them to survive.

If you want to collect food from the people at this time, it is tantamount to not leaving a way for the people to survive. At that time, the people in this city will inevitably be in chaos.It has not been a few years since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, and Yang Jian has not forgotten that lesson.

If the people in this city are forced to rebel, the situation is likely to be even worse than it is now.

"My lord, it's better to go out of the city, fight to the death with the Jin army, and break the boat!" Zuo Tiancheng stepped forward and spoke.

After hearing Zuo Tiancheng's suggestion, Yang Jian and the others couldn't help thinking about it. This was considered a helpless solution, but Yang Jian couldn't make up his mind.

Now, after repeated losses, Yang Jian only has about 14 troops left, and nearly half of them are county soldiers.But outside the city, there are still [-] elite Jin soldiers.At this level, going out of the city to fight is no different from seeking death.

In the end, Yang Jian is not sure that he will succeed.

Therefore, although Yang Jian was a little moved by Zuo Tiancheng's suggestion, he still needed to think more about it. Some determinations were not so easy to make.

"My lord, I have a law. I don't know if I should say it or not?" Gao Jiong said in an inexplicable tone.

"Zhaoxuan's speech!" Seeing that his first counselor had an idea, Yang Jian was overjoyed.He believed that Gao Jiong would not let him down.

"My lord, we can drive some of the people out of the city!" Gao Jiong said hesitantly.As soon as this trick comes out, his reputation will probably be bad in the future.

Hearing this, Yang Jian has become silent, he is thinking about the pros and cons of this.

According to Gao Jiong's meaning, if some of the people were expelled from the city, then they could collect as much food as possible from this part of the people.

On the one hand, this can alleviate their food crisis to a certain extent.On the other hand, after driving these people out of Chang'an City, the Jin army will definitely not ignore them. In order to resettle this part of the people, it will inevitably increase the food pressure of the Jin army to a large extent.

Of course, there are no absolute good things in the world.Although there are many advantages in doing so, the disadvantages are also not small.

If Yang Jian really adopted such a measure, he might lose the hearts of the people and lose morals with the people.

"Whoever wins the hearts of the people wins the world", in a literal sense, we can understand that if you get the hearts of the people and the support of the people, your country will be able to rule stably and there will be no chaos.

If you interpret this sentence as saying that if you win the hearts of the people, you can unify the country and establish a solid regime, then there is no historical basis.The birth of any dynasty in ancient China was not selected by the people out of warmth, but by fists, troops, swords, spears and halberds.

The establishment of which dynasty was not full of blood and rain, and which "world" did not come from the deterrence of a powerful army.

Without corpses strewn across the fields and rivers of blood flowing, there would be no establishment of a new political power. This is the indifferent but true fact.If Liu Bang, Cao Cao, Kublai Khan, Zhu Yuanzhang, and Huang Taiji were to answer this question, they would definitely say with one voice: There is no shortcut to winning the world, only hard power.

In fact, the Mongolian Yuan army and the Qing army did represent backward productivity at that time. Most people in the Central Plains feared them and did not recognize them at all, so they could never really win the hearts of the people, but they still won the world in the end.

Even the so-called "peaceful handover" in Wei Dynasty, Han Dynasty, Wei Dynasty in Jin Dynasty, Sui Dynasty in Tang Dynasty, and Zhou Dynasty in Song Dynasty, where did the real abdication come from, it was nothing more than manipulation in the name of force and power.

This explains the truth that the establishment of a feudal dynasty, especially a foreign dynasty, has nothing to do with popular sentiment, it is nothing more than conquest, massacre, conspiracy, and intimidation.

But is popular support really irrelevant to the regime?Of course it is.Not only that, the rise and fall of the regime is inextricably linked directly with the hearts of the people.

"Shangshu" records that Dayu in the early years of the Xia Dynasty once said: "The people are the foundation of the state, and the foundation is solid and peaceful." The phrase "people-oriented" will never be outdated.

The great thinker Confucius said: "A king is a boat; a common man is water. Water carries a boat, and water capsizes it. If the king thinks about danger in this way, will the danger never come?" - "Xunzi Ai Gong ".This saying has always been borrowed by generations of rulers.

Zixia, a beloved disciple of Confucius, said: "A fish will die if it loses water, and a fish will still be water if it loses water." The general idea is that the common people can still live happily without the country, and the emperor is nothing without the common people.

"Chunqiu Guliang Biography" says that "the people are the foundation of the emperor".That's right, the old book of war.

"Mencius" pointedly pointed out: "The people are the most important, the society is second, and the monarch is the least." This statement was selectively ignored by many rulers of the past dynasties, and Zhu Yuanzhang was so angry that he drove his tablet out of the Confucian Temple.

There is such a passage in "Han Shu Biography of Li Sheng Lu Jia": "The king regards the people as his heaven, and the people regard food as their heaven." The second half of the sentence was transformed into a slogan.

Wei Zheng once said: "There is no great grievance, but people are the only ones to be afraid of. If you are in trouble, you should be cautious."Numerous peasant uprisings in successive feudal dynasties have been profoundly verifying this wise saying of Lao Wei.

There are so many bigwigs who say that people's hearts are important. Are they all talking nonsense with their eyes open?

Obviously not.

It is true that when political power emerges under swords and guns, the country does not recognize affection, but only fists, but in the era of cold weapons, the threshold for rebellion is very low, and everyone can fight against the government and the army with a hoe.

And there are not many complicated procedures for weapon manufacturing, even if you prohibit the common people from holding knives and guns, even if you let several families share a kitchen knife.But you cannot hide all the iron in the treasury, nor can the mine be locked with a single lock.Therefore, ordinary people can still obtain iron, and a blacksmith can make many swords overnight.

If an emperor likes to make great achievements, build a large number of buildings, use military force, waste people's money, and impose excessive taxes, corruption is prevalent.The emperor does not understand the sufferings of the people, and only knows how to exploit them. Then the people will be in dire straits, the people will be full of resentment, and everyone will rise up if they have no way out.

The people from the lower classes are all "rabble", and it is difficult to shake the rule of the feudal dynasty. On the surface, every turmoil and dynasty change in history is operated by warlords.However, the loss of popular support and excessive public grievances are also important reasons for the collapse of the regime.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, if it weren't for Zhang Jiao's Yellow Turban uprising, Dong Zhuo would have had the chance to make waves?Cao Cao has the opportunity to display his ambition?Liu Bei is even more unknown, and wants to be a peddler for a lifetime.

In the last years of the Yuan Dynasty, if there was no uprising by the Red Turban Army, Zhu Yuanzhang would still be his own monk honestly, and he would not even have the opportunity to be a walk-on on the historical stage, let alone establish the Ming Dynasty and leave a name in history.

Of course, in ancient China, the common people were helpless, they could only make allowances, swallow their anger, and be silent obedient citizens.Not only are they ignorant and ignorant, but they also have no strength. They are absolutely weak at all times. Their fate is not in their hands, and they can only be manipulated by others.

But if the common people are dissatisfied with the emperor, when the court is in trouble, they can at least choose to resist passively, choose to stand by, or even choose to lead the way and transport the invaders for a little money and food.

The civilians acting as soldiers can aimlessly shift their targets. When the war breaks out, they will either be deserters with oil on their feet, or turn their guns around and become traitors.No matter how the emperor preached loyalty to the emperor and love for the court, they would remain indifferent, would not fight against the enemy, let alone resist to the death.In this way, a regime will surely perish faster.

Under such circumstances, do you still say that popular support is not important?
Therefore, the same as Zuo Tiancheng's suggestion, although Gao Jiong's suggestion can indeed ease the crisis Yang Jian is facing now, Yang Jian has to carefully consider the possible consequences of this.
