Chapter 121 Encouraging Shanhaiguan

This great victory shocked the world. The kings, ministers and people of the Ming Dynasty all rushed to tell each other about the victory.

Of course, this so-called whole country is just a mere direct administration, and it is still incomplete.

Lu Mou did not return to Beijing to celebrate the victory. He wanted to go to Shanhaiguan to meet his brother, the prince.

This time, he went there with dissatisfaction and the intention of asking the prince to accuse him.

The reason is that my prince is too conservative and too benevolent, and has not fully carried forward the glorious tradition of the Ming Dynasty's officers and soldiers, fighting like a grate. With fifty thousand cavalry, he still continues Guan Ning's habit of huddled in Shanhaiguan, watching helplessly. Watching the Qing Dynasty harvest outside the pass, instead of going out to burn, kill and loot.

Is this serious love for the Manchu people?

Although the saints teach you to be benevolent and love others, they do not mean to love your enemies. Treat the enemy as ruthlessly as the autumn wind sweeps away fallen leaves. This is the Ming Dynasty's method of educating the outside world.

They arrived at Shanhaiguan Pass with three hundred guards. Unexpectedly, the prince actually came out of the city and greeted Fifty Miles.

With such enthusiasm, the thought of scolding his brother as soon as they met was immediately thrown out of the window.

The two little brothers dismounted from their horses a long way away, trotted towards him with open arms, and then hugged each other tightly.

The elder brother of the prince hugged his younger brother and kept cheering: "My mighty little brother, my great national hero, I miss you so much, I will see you again."

Lu Mou also happily replied: "I miss you too, brother. I even miss you to death. No, I miss you to death."

Zhu Cixiang smiled and left his younger brother, looking left and right, up and down.

"Brother, there is no need to look at me like this. After several battles, my skin is not broken."

Zhu Cixiang shook his head: "That's not what I meant. I think what you just said about wanting me to die is what you really mean."

Lu Mou was shocked at the time. If the prince thought so, in this evil feudal era, he would be the first to do so and he would be dead.

Seeing his brother's frightened look, Zhu Cixiang suddenly laughed happily, punched him, and hit him hard: "Look, I scared you, brother, I was just teasing you."

Lu Mou screamed: "You are teasing me, and you are beating me."

"Didn't I express my affection to you?"

"To show affection, you slap your chest, why don't you slap your face." Lu Mou protested loudly, covering his eyes.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I just want to punch you to make you remember a little longer and stop talking carelessly like before. Come on, let me see if I'm injured?"

My brother was right. He had just woken up and proposed to rebel against his father. It was really outrageous to ask for his brother's death just after they met. How can you be so careless and unreliable when you speak?

With a panda eye, he walked into the majestic Shanhaiguan City amidst the cheers of all the soldiers of Guan Ning.

The soldiers followed closely and continued to cheer, cheering for the arrival of this little hero who could turn the world around and make a difference.

Now Lu Mou's reputation in the Ming Dynasty has been at its peak due to a great victory over the Qing Dynasty, and he has become a real hero in the hearts of all Han people in the world.

Who doesn’t have a diaosi plot yet?

The current prefecture office of Shanhaiguan is already the residence of the prince's governor.

All civil servants and generals gathered together, ready to listen to King Ding's instructions. He is fully qualified for this.

Standing side by side with his brother, Lu Mou clicked his tongue: "I see that the Guan Ning Iron Cavalry now has strong horses and strong morale. However, you have not done enough burning and killing work. You can't kill the Qing soldiers, but you can't kill the Manchu people either. This This is such a disappointment to me."

The generals headed by Zhao Youhu were ashamed, and the civil servants headed by the prince were shocked.

Do you want to send troops to kill people? King Ding, brother, you are too cruel.

The prince stood up at that time and said: "Third brother, don't say that. If the two countries are fighting, what does it have to do with the people? We are the king's master, and the king's master must have the demeanor of the king's master. How can we attack the people?"       Lu Mou solemnly Said: "Your Highness, I object to your statement."

This is the first time that the younger brother uses the title of Wei Chen, His Royal Highness, as a title between brothers.

Zhu Cixiang knew that this was not a disagreement between his younger brother and him, but something important to discuss. This was to make up for the wrong words he just said.

At that time, I had to become serious and face my brother seriously.

Lu Mou solemnly refuted the prince's brother, but he was actually speaking to the civil servants and generals: "Since ancient times, we have used all possible means to attack the enemy in order to win the war. If, like Zheng Xianggong, he pays attention to benevolence and virtue when dealing with the enemy in war, then It means being irresponsible to oneself, and that is a blow to oneself.”

"But war is a matter for soldiers on both sides, so why should the people deserve it?"

"Your Highness, you are wrong."

Zhu Cihong saluted his brother solemnly: "What's wrong with me? Please give me some advice from His Highness King Ding."

"Your mistake is that you failed to distinguish the essence of war."

"Please say."

"In an avalanche, every snowflake is not innocent. They are the last bricks that caused the avalanche. The people of Liaodong today, whether they are Manchus or Mongolians. Even the Han people in the past are no longer The people of the Ming Dynasty have all identified themselves as the people of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and they are already the lackeys of the Manchu Qing Dynasty. Your Highness cannot deny this."

Having said this, Zhu Cixiang acquiesced and couldn't help but nod in recognition.

Since Huang Taiji came to power, his father, Nurhaci, had ruthlessly suppressed and exploited the Han people in Liaodong, which caused continuous riots and escapes, and he adopted a soft policy towards the Han people in Liaodong.

Although the Han people were still the slaves of the Manchus, they were no longer regarded as enemies, but as subjects of the Qing Dynasty.

From the original killing of Han slaves, which was no fault, to legal procedures, it was a great progress to kill Han slaves in exchange for a donkey. In the previous period, Daishan was kept at home and under disguised house arrest for abusing his slaves.

In this way, the status of the Han people in the Qing Dynasty and their recognition of the Qing Dynasty were greatly improved.

After Zu Dashou surrendered to the Manchus, Huang Taiji directly retained Zu Dashou's family property and land in western Liaoning, allowing him to continue to enjoy the treatment of gentry who did not pay food as before. In this way, after several years of "influence" and with the help of the Ming Dynasty, the Han people in Liaodong have recognized their Manchu identity. They have willingly served the Manchu Qing Dynasty, serving as soldiers, paying grain, and performing corvee labor.

"The Manchu Qing Dynasty implemented a policy of exhaustion against our Ming Dynasty. They invaded the capital several times, killed our people, and plundered our population and supplies, so that the Ming Dynasty was gradually weakened to the edge of almost subjugation. So, why can't we implement the same policy? What about policies? It is inappropriate to come back and not reciprocate. This is the teaching of the sage. How can we not follow and implement the words of the sage? "

This speech made the civil servants at that time speechless and didn't know how to answer the question.

Turning to face Zhao Youhu: "My Lord General, the imperial court has spent countless dollars to equip you with war horses. It is to build a Guan Ning tiger and wolf cavalry, not to make you sick cats. The war horses are not bought for you to keep as pets. .Tiger and wolf, tiger and wolf, do you know? Since they are tigers and wolves, they will choose people to eat. They want to eat people. Look to the west outside Shanhaiguan, aren’t there many people? You go and eat people, even if you are sick. Cat, you can eat two mice outside the customs. Why do you always huddle in Shanhaiguan like a boudoir girl?"

It's okay to be called a sick cat, but to be called a pussy is a great shame and humiliation for a soldier.

Zhao Youhu couldn't sit still anymore and stood up suddenly, his face flushed, his fists clenched, and his eyes blazing fire as he faced Lu Mou.

Lu Mou was shocked: "What are you going to do? You are going to bite me."

"The last general will not dare to bite the prince. The last general will go outside the pass and bite Manqing." Then he yelled at the Guan Ning soldiers in the room: "Brothers, why are you still sitting here? Let's go and bite a few people outside the pass and come back. Some people look at it, we are not women, we are a pack of tigers and wolves. Let’s go.”

A group of Guan Ning soldiers shouted: "Let's go -" and then walked away all at once.

At that time, Lu Mou was dumbfounded. It was okay to be stimulating, but this time, he was too irritated. They all ran outside, so who is guarding Shanhaiguan? Don't let the Qing army take advantage of it and kill you and your brother.

Fortunately, Zhao Youhu lost his temper and calmly selected five thousand elites and roared out of seclusion.

 I made a timing error yesterday and the order of the chapters was reversed. I got up early this morning and corrected it. I'm sorry.

  Also, brothers, did you forget to vote for salted fish?
