The Red Mansions Across the Four Seas

Chapter 584 Those Reasons Are Some Rogues
Although Jia Min ordered the banquet to be held in the evening, the atmosphere of drinking at dinner was not considered lively.

It's not that people are unhappy, it's not that people don't want to drink, it's just that there isn't that much alcohol.

There are nearly 3 people from the North Wendura Department, 4 people from the Chang'an Department, and Chen Yeqing's third brigade, a total of more than [-] people, all within a range of ten miles. So much wine to go?

On the contrary, the people in North Wendura usually keep some wine privately, and drink some secretly when they are free, so they are the only ones who drink more lively at the end.

There is not much wine, and it does not delay people's happiness. It is also a pleasure to have a big meal, brag together, and tease each other.Although the atmosphere is not that warm, it is not lonely.

Jia Min and the others were not short of alcohol, but Jia Min didn't drink much.

After chatting with Shui Rong, Bachelor Ji, and Dai Quan for a while, he came back on the pretext of still having military affairs.

This is not an excuse, Jia Min does have important things to do.

Because they were informed in advance that they had important matters to discuss, Xi Meirui, Vadagas, and Shaq did not drink too much. When they came, although they smelled of alcohol, they were all sober.

In addition to these three people, Wei Ruolan and Chen Yeqing also came. Apart from Jia Min, these five people are currently the highest officials in Beihai here.

"Do you think we can win Shengjing City?"

Jia Min suddenly asked a seemingly naive question.

"Han Tiankui is finished, won't it be a trivial matter to win Shengjing City?"

Simrey replied without thinking.

"Yes, Chief Min, as long as you give an order, we will go to get Shengjing City in the morning."

Vadagas is also full of confidence.

"Officer Min, what do you mean by asking that? Is there something wrong?"

Shaq was careful and didn't answer hastily.

"I believe that you can take Shengjing City, but what will you do after you take it? The enemy's army is gone, the government has collapsed, and the yamen servants have all run away. No one pays them salaries. Tell me, what will happen to Shengjing City?" ?”

"Hey, Chief Min, it's going to be a mess. When the time comes, there will be no government, and we will have to maintain it every day."

"When we call all the way, we don't need to take care of Goryeo. We don't need to take care of Bukui. Dadonggou, Anping City, Fenghuang City, Xishuitai, we have left troops stationed. If Shengjing City is captured in the future , and then leave soldiers and horses to garrison, and then march into the pass, leaving soldiers and horses along the way, when we reach Shengjing, how many people will we have left?"

"That's right, Chief Min, I really don't know, but I'm surprised, when the time comes, there really won't be many people left?"

Xi Meirui suddenly realized.

"Of course we can recruit more soldiers and horses. However, recruiting soldiers and horses requires money. Not to mention the salary, just food, military equipment, vehicles and horses is a lot of money. Where can we get so much money?"

"Besides, even if the newly recruited people have money, they won't know how to fight for a while. If they don't work out, they will hold us back instead."

"If they are stationed in various places, and no one restrains them, they will inevitably act recklessly and harm the people. Aren't we helping the evildoers?"

"In addition, although we have obtained a lot of things from Goryeo, they are consumed very quickly. There are still many battles to be fought in the future, and we can't always grab them. From Beihai, we can't supply them. How will we fight in the future? Beat it down?"

"You and the people from South Wendura fought all the way from Bukui. Although Zhao Dahai took over the government from all over the country, he can't see any benefits now. He didn't send us people, nor did he send us money or goods. Come? To be honest, apart from defeating the people in Ningguta, we didn’t actually get any benefits?”

"That's right, Chief Min, that's really the case. It turns out our fight was for nothing."

Shaq was a little frustrated.

"It's not all in vain, at least they didn't cause trouble behind us."

"It's just that it doesn't work. After a long time, we will be sitting on nothing."

Similui finally realized the key point.

"Do you know why this happens?"

Several people were silent.

"Cough, this..."

Wei Ruolan paused for a moment, then continued.

"It's because we haven't won the hearts of the people yet."

"Yes, so the people and the government everywhere are on the sidelines. Now, they just know that we can fight, fear us, and hide away one by one. However, they are not really on our side."

Chen Yeqing made a supplement.

These words really spoke the truth.

"If things go on like this, we will defeat Han Tiankui in the future, and the world will be in chaos and turmoil. Middle-earth is too big, different from Bukui, Wendula, and Beihai. It is our hometown, and the people support us. Then We are not at home, as long as there are a few of us, there will be no chaos, but this is not possible here in Zhongtu."

No one refuted Jia Min's point of view, the reason is here, and they also admitted that this is the fact.

"If we take down a few more places, especially a big place like the imperial capital, we will have no one to stay. In the end, we will all be busy with taxation and law and order in various places every day. Where will anyone go to fight?"

"After conquering the world, Chief Min will become the emperor. Who would dare not listen?"

Shaq was in a tantrum again.

"Okay, even if I become the emperor, if someone is disobedient, I will fight. When will the fight be the end? In the eyes of the Chinese, even Wendula is regarded as an outsider and a barbarian land. Let alone people from Beihai?"

"It's true that the common people sometimes can't tell the difference, but the officials do. Although many of these officials are not good people, it's impossible to govern the country without them. Even if I become the emperor, I feel uncomfortable every day."

"Mr. Min, instead of being miserable every day, it's better not to be the emperor. You are at ease in Beihai, aren't you the same as the emperor? Why ask for trouble?"

Shaq turned very quickly at this corner.

"Yes, Mr. Min, Han people are always fighting back and forth. Today the emperor was poisoned to death, and tomorrow the other drowned. Why do you have to suffer that?"

"It doesn't matter if I don't become the emperor. Now that the world is messed up, there must be an explanation, right?"

"That's not easy, you just find someone else to be the emperor."

Vadagas said without hesitation.

"Who do you think can be the emperor?"

"Sigh, it's really hard to find this emperor. In a short while, there really isn't a suitable person."

"There is no suitable candidate for the time being, so I'm not in a hurry. At that time, there will always be someone. If it doesn't work, I will do it reluctantly. However, there are a few things to do right now."

"One is to learn from others and be famous."

"Officer Min is right. The few things you said before, you can hit anyone who doesn't like it. It was okay at the beginning, scaring them. Now we are going to attack Shengjing and the imperial capital. If you say that again, it will be fine It's kind of rascal."

"Shaq, since you already know, why didn't you say it earlier?"

"Officer Min, you said this, how could I have the nerve to refute it? Besides, I was happy at the beginning, but it was only these two days that I felt it was inappropriate."

"You think so too?"

"Well, Chief Min, to tell you the truth, the few of us did talk about this together, and I also think it's a bit rascal to say that, ah, no, it's a bit of a joke."

It turns out that the same is true for Vadagas.

"We used to fight for war, but now we are for the people of the world. If we say that again, we are a bit like bandits and robbers, and we can't put it on the table."

These guys are actually very shrewd, who said they have no political mind.

Jia Min looked for them, went around in a big circle, and spent so much time talking, in fact, he wanted to solve this problem.

The core of this question is the question of why they fought, that is, the question of being famous for their teachers, and to put it more broadly, it is the question of political goals.

Now, just using the reason to avenge my sister and uncle can no longer support the purpose of this war.

If Emperor Tianshun cut off his wrists and handed over the murderers of Jia Yuanchun and Wang Ziteng, Jia Min's war might lose its legitimacy.

If he continues to promote the war, not only will the people of the world not accept him in the end, but even internal divisions may arise.

"Officer Min, what do you think if you say you want to avenge His Highness Chang'an?"

Wei Ruolan finally said what Jia Min wanted.

"It's a good excuse, what do you think?"

"I can see it."

Chen Yeqing, who had never spoken much, agreed more readily this time.

"Brigade Commander Chen, why did you tell me?"

"First, the San Francisco is a rebellion, and the hearts of the people in the world may not be with them. The Dade army and the governments of various places have joined them, which is also forced by the situation, and it is a last resort."

"Well, that makes sense."

"Secondly, Zhao Yingqi has already abdicated the throne, San Francisco should not kill them again. This is too much. Chang'an raises troops to avenge his family, and will surely win the sympathy of the people of the world."

"Thirdly, the great virtues have been established for more than 100 years, that is, in recent years, there has been some chaos and decline. Before that, it was a peaceful and prosperous age, and people all over the world missed the previous dynasty. San Francisco has just established a new dynasty, and the people are also on the sidelines. Now that we have suffered a crushing defeat in front of us, lost face, and are in a precarious situation, if we want to clean up people's hearts, I am afraid it will be difficult to do so."

"In this way, it is easier for the common people and the government to submit to each other when the Chang'an Yi Banner is raised. Today, King Beijing, Master Ji and Eunuch Dai are here, which is an example."

What Chen Yeqing said made Jia Min look at him with admiration.

He had to admit that the eyes of these aristocratic children were somewhat different from others.It is still very knowledgeable to see the problem.

"Since this is the case, let His Highness Chang'an play the banner of recovering the great virtue. Anyway, he said that Zhao Dahai came to King Qin. It is not wrong. As for us in Beihai, we are still volunteers. We are willing to help His Highness Chang'an. Can you manage it again?"

Wei Ruolan directly pointed out the topic.

"Then who will be the emperor in the future?"

Similui was worried again.

"In my opinion, this matter is quite simple. It is enough for Chief Min to be the emperor and His Highness Chang'an to be the queen."

Shaq thought he had a good idea.
