Section 10 Responsible (Part 2)
After hearing Wang Han’s complaints, Deng Ming said without hesitation: “Let the bondage for General Wang quickly.”
This sentence made Dang Shousu stunned for a moment. His various experiences and experiences since his expeditions had completely distorted his understanding of the war. The melee last night was the most obvious one. Now Deng Ming ordered the loosening of the enemy general's words... When Dang Shousu was allowed to speak the storyteller, he heard Mr. Shushou would rather die than surrender. As a result, the enemy loved talents instead of surrendering. But every time he heard this joke, Dang Shousu sneered. As far as he knew, he might as well beg for mercy, and he would not be able to survive. Those who would rather die than surrender would definitely have a way out.
Unexpectedly, the legendary Zhang Feiyi and Yan Yan appeared alive. Dang Shousu was surprised and puzzled, and secretly asked Li Laiheng beside him: "Which guy can compare with Yan Yan?"
Yan Yan was highly respected in Shu, with many old subordinates, and Zhang Fei tried his best to promote General Zuo's benevolence. There was such a special reason that Dang Shousu could barely understand - Besides, that was also a public statement. Maybe there were many unknown secrets in private. No matter how Dang Shousu looked at, Wang Han had nothing to buy. The war last night was not satisfied, and the other party was very aware of it and stopped resisting. After Wang Han was tied up just now, Dang Shousu still thought that he could finally see the murder.
"Yan Yan?" Li Laiheng asked softly. Now, Deng Ming would set up such a large oval table every time he set up camp. The alliance would sit on the same table as the meeting or the meal. Although Dang Shousu was curious, Li Laiheng was already familiar with him. Out of his understanding of Deng Ming, Li Laiheng immediately made a judgment: "Admiral Deng is not a righteous explanation, and he didn't let him go for a few bold words."
"Why is that?" Dang Shousu became even more strange. He turned around and looked at Wang Han. At this time, the Ming soldiers had untied the two ropes. Dang Shousu did not think that this general was anything special, and he did not look like a great general. He leaned over again and asked Li Laiheng in a low voice: "Why does the admiral value him so much?"
"It was probably because I heard the bond." Li Laiheng said casually. He was kowtowing melon seeds. Now when Deng Ming was in a meeting, he would put tea bowls, melon seeds, peanuts and other snacks on the participants on the oval table. Li Laiheng liked this pattern very much. He glanced at Dang Shousu. The latter was not used to this atmosphere, so he ate very slowly. Li Laiheng intended to divide the party and Shousu after eating his own portion. However, after weighing it, Li Laiheng thought it would be better to take the things from the Cao Qing General opposite. Today, the Ming army sat on one side and the Qing army sat on the other side, just like a negotiation posture. However, the people on the opposite side were trembling, and no one dared to touch the things in the small plate in front of them. Except for Lin Qilong, on the other side of the oval table, he shook his head to drink tea and cracked melon seeds, which seemed quite relaxed and comfortable.
When the soldiers loosened Wang Han, Deng Ming asked around and found that the Qing generals attending the meeting had more or less Ming war bonds from Sichuan. After Wang Han was inexplicably free, Deng Ming revealed the answer: "General Wang, I did not release you because of your Qing general. You can fight against the Wang Army, but you bought the Ming war bonds, so in my eyes, you have another identity as a supporter of the imperial government, so you will be treated by the imperial army..."
Dang Shousu raised his head and listened seriously, his eyes wide open, his heart was no less confused than Wang Han, while Li Laiheng was still lowering his head and drinking tea. Hearing this, he calmly showed off to Dang Shousu: "I've told you a long time ago."
"The unauthorized actions of your army last night were unacceptable by the imperial army. Why can't you get our permission to rob the Qing court of grain and grain silver? Because you violated our interests!" Wang Han had already sat down, and Deng Ming walked to the long table and explained it loudly to the Qing army generals. He stretched out his first finger: "First of all, if there was no Ming army, that is, the eastern expedition of the imperial army and the Kuidong army, the Qing court's control in the southeast was very stable, and the Qing army had no chance to rob the grain transportation; the Qing army did not intend to share the benefits with us, and the imperial army and the Kuidong army made great efforts in it, so the Qing army's behavior was unacceptable."
"Why are we not the imperial army?" Dang Shousu asked Li Laiheng again. Although he hated being called a thief or a bandit by others, Dang Shousu had long heard that the word "imperial" is equivalent to a robber. If this explanation is correct, it is hard to say about other Kuidong Armys, but Dang Shousu thought he could still afford the word "imperial".
"Do you think the empire and the robber have the same meaning? I have thought so before, but it is not right. The empire is the thief grandfather, no, it is higher than the thief grandfather." Li Laiheng meant that the empire was the thief, and the ultimate form of the evolutionary route of robbers. Although he could not explain it very clearly, he was aware of it when he was a Dang Shousu.
Of course, this is not entirely Li Laiheng's own understanding. During this Eastern Expedition, Deng Ming and Li Laiheng discussed this issue in depth many times, but the biggest inspiration for Li Laiheng was not Deng Ming, but Ren Tang, who first realized that the empire was actually very close to the robbers. While chatting on the boat, Ren Tang carefully promoted Li Laiheng's existing political system to Sichuan, especially the Academy that Ren Tang could not understand in the past. Now he has a new understanding.
This spoil-sharing meeting was understood by Ren Tang as a tool to pull more people onto the pirate ship, and Ren Tang also found that this was an insurance that made everyone unable to get off the pirate ship. Because more and more people benefited from robbery, the Shandawang could not even do it. It might be the matter of several leaders to receive the recruitment of Liangshanbo. Song Jiang could even stand against the public's objection and change his career to be a good person, but if the court matured, then the empire's policy would not be the only one who decided.
In fact, there is nothing wrong with Ren Tang's understanding. Deng Ming even felt a close friend after hearing this. In his previous life, the word "Emperor" could not be understood as a country with an emperor, but a country's internal and external thinking and action model. Many countries with emperors have nothing to do with empires, such as the Song Dynasty, which is familiar to the Chinese, which sends several annual gifts every year. Conversely, the most typical Nazi Third Reich was a genuine imperialist without an emperor. The spoils and dividing association was the guarantee of maintaining the imperial thinking. No one could change the national policy because of personal likes and dislikes: if the diplomats are not tough enough, they should replace him, if the prime minister is weak, they should dismiss him, and if the king does not meet the needs, they should overthrow him. Before most of the classes participating in the spoils and dividing association were satisfied, only imperialists could sit in a critical position.
"Secondly," Deng Ming continued his speech: "The Qing army robbed the Qing court's grain transportation under the banner of the Ming army. This was an impostor and damaged the credit of our army. And he didn't even plan to give us the money. Is it tolerable?"
Many Qing army generals were ashamed when they heard this, and they mustered up the courage to ask, "Is it still too late to split up now?"
Deng Ming glanced at the Qing army general and shouted to everyone: "If the Qing army notified us in advance and discussed a reasonable distribution plan with our army, so that the reputation we lost was reasonable and the deterrent effect on the Qing court was also reasonable, our army could accept it. But when the Qing army launched an action without authorization and attempted to steal our army's property privately - please note that reputation is an invisible property. It is reputation that has made our army's actions smooth since the Eastern Expedition, and governments in various places have also actively purchased bonds - it is impossible for us not to ask for additional compensation. After the self-defense operation, our army had seized all the grain and silver, and we could not return it, because it is unfair to our supporters."
After hearing that Deng Ming had nothing to the Qing army, most of the generals bowed their heads and said nothing. Now they had no room for bargaining, but after a long time of struggle, they made wedding dresses for the Ming army, which of course made everyone unhappy.
"I didn't say that I would give you no benefit," Seeing that the atmosphere was a little dull, Deng Ming further explained: "I just said that I would give you no benefit to the Qing army."
Most people were stunned and puzzled. Only the most flexible minded people remembered Deng Ming's words that they actually had dual identities, one was a Qing army soldier, and the other was the title of supporter of the imperial government that was obtained because of their possession of war bonds.
"General Wang said just now that the imperial government has been neglected in advance because of the enthusiastic purchase of bonds. I just thought carefully that the supporters of the imperial government should not be allowed to suffer from hunger, cold, food and clothing due to their support for us." Deng Ming announced that because of Wang Han's reminder, he decided to use the authorization of the Institute to start a special dividend, and the dividend was released from this valley: "The principal and interest are still the same, and the special dividend is equivalent to 10% of the face value of the bond, and they are paid in silver."
Most people were completely confused, especially the Qing generals were in chaos and could not complete the switching between the two identities. Ren Tang and other senior officers of the Sichuan Army did not have any pressure to understand, and immediately helped Deng Ming explain: "Let supporters participate in the sharing of spoils... Well, letting supporters enjoy the benefits of victory is the empire's consistent policy. Of course, after suffering losses, we will also ask for sharing hardships."
"Communication is very important. If it weren't for communication problems, our army and the Qing army wouldn't have had the misunderstanding last night," Deng Ming continued to speak after helping the Qing army and Kuidong army generals understand what they were saying: "In view of General Wang's reminder, perhaps we can set up a bond committee in the future, and those with a large number of bonds can participate in the discussion of the dividend distribution method."
Deng Ming looked at Wang Han again: "General Wang, as a bond owner and a supporter of the empire, if he encounters a Qing army general asking to share the grain silver that has been in the hands of our army after creating so many troubles, what do you think the imperial army should deal with?"
"We should resolutely suppress it!" Wang Han replied: "But as a general of the Qing army, the last general promised that he would not make any requests for the Duke Baoguo to do so."
