Chapter 148 [Brown House Li Wei]
Han Mo glanced at the girls before looking at Han Siyuan. Seeing a knife wound on his face, he could tell that it was a new wound. He knew it was a scar left during this expedition, but he was afraid that there were many scars on his body. Wen Yan said: "Uncle Yuan, you have made great contributions in this expedition and take the lead in bloody battles. You did not insult the Han family's reputation. Xiao Wu is also very admiring!"
Han Siyuan laughed and said, "Fifth Young Master, we people from Donghai are born with a temperament that is not afraid of death."
Han Mo nodded slightly and asked, "Uncle Yuan, the wealth of the Ye family ranks first in Yan State, and their equipment is much stronger than us. Do you know why they are so vulnerable and are defeated in our hands in less than ten days?"
Han Siyuan was stunned for a moment, thought for a while, and then said, "That was because we broke through Ligu Pass, and the Ye family army had no fighting spirit and was as cowardly as a rat. How could they be our opponent?"
Han Mo shook his head and said, "Uncle Yuan, this is just a superficial reason. Uncle Yuan just imagine that the military pay of the Ye family army is much higher than that of our aristocratic army. They are well-equipped and have the advantage of geographical advantages. Why did we lose our fighting spirit after we captured Ligu Pass? Uncle Yuan also saw that as soon as the aristocratic army entered the pass, the people in the six counties in the western part of Bozhou County revolt. Why did they do this? "
Han Siyuan was stunned for a moment and didn't know how to answer.
"People's heart!" Han Mo said calmly. Although he was young, he was very mature when speaking and said slowly: "Because the Ye family lost the people's heart, even if they had strong financial resources and equipment, they were defeated when they encountered setbacks, and the people were even more disloyal."
Han Siyuan seemed to understand something and nodded, "Yes!"
Han Mo smiled and said, "I knew Uncle Yuan must understand. The failure of the Ye family gave us a warning and warned us that no matter how strong our family is, our foundation is still in the hearts of the people. People cannot be violated. Those who violate the hearts of the people will inevitably suffer bad consequences." After a pause, he said, "But Uncle Yuan's actions today are a great act against the will of the people. They honestly handed over everything they had, and those were the laughing silver they had bought for forced smiles. We should be content and respect them. But Uncle Yuan not only did not treat them well, but... Alas, Uncle Yuan, we are the first army to enter the city, and there are soldiers and people downstairs. If this matter is spread, how will the people view my Han family? Where does the people's hearts that my Han family want come from?"
Although Han Mo had a faint smile on his face, Han Siyuan had already heard a lustful feeling in his tone and couldn't help but say, "Fifth Young Master, what are these bitches worthy of respect? They are a group of bitches, even worse than a horse."
Han Mo said lightly: "They have hands and feet and have all their facial features. Where can I tell that they are not humans?"
"But...!" Han Siyuan was a little anxious. He really didn't expect Han Mo would make things difficult for a group of "bitters".
"But do you think they make a living by selling laughter, like walking corpses, with a humble status, so they are not qualified to be human, right?" Han Mo's voice suddenly became loud: "But have you ever thought about why they were bullied by men here, why should they force themselves to smile and persevere all day long? I think they were not born like this, they can have today, and there is a painful story behind everyone, why do you torture them? Do you think we are nobles, and their lives are inexorable in our eyes? Uncle Yuan should not have forgotten that the Ye family is also nobles, but now they are not as good as pigs and dogs, and they will lose their lives at any time. Therefore, nobles cannot be rich forever, and the untouchables... also have their own dignity!"
Han Mo is not a great liberal. He has ambitions and ambitions, but there is no doubt that he comes from a civilized world and knows that human wealth has high or low status, but life and dignity are the same.
As a nobleman, he never regarded himself as a nobleman. From a certain perspective, he had deep sympathy for those poor and humble people.
Of course, this idea is not something that all nobles can possess, so when he said this, Han Siyuan opened his mouth wide and didn't know how to answer, and Zhu Xiaoyan, who was behind Han Mo, had a light flashed in his eyes.
The group of girls were very surprised, but then deeply moved.
No one would think of the bitterness behind them, nor would anyone care about their pain. Those nobles only know how to play with their bodies and enjoy it. Everyone was calling them a group of bitches who touched thousands of people and rode, but who had ever thought about why they became prostitutes?
How many people can understand the grief under the forced smile?
They were either robbed, defrauded, or exiled by the government, or fell into prostitution due to business. They were constantly cold and heat, and they practiced piano, chess, calligraphy and painting in order to please men. When they were old, they would be depressed and end up in miserable life.
But this young nobleman, every word is so clear that he talks about their hearts.
In the silence, many girls sobbed gently, their eyes red and swollen.
Han Siyuan gritted his teeth and said, "Fifth Young Master, I was wrong this time!"
"You are not wrong, but you violated the military order and even desecrated the Han family's reputation." Han Mo said calmly: "If you don't give everyone an explanation, the reputation of our Han family will be severely damaged." He leaned closer to Han Siyuan's ear and whispered: "No matter how other families do things wrong, my Han family must not lose their reputation, nor can they lose the people's hearts. Uncle Yuan, do you understand?"
Han Siyuan frowned and finally said, "Fifth Master, tell me, how to make a comeback, Han Siyuan didn't say anything."
The aristocratic family army is naturally different from the official army. After all, they are army-based with family as the carrier. Han Mo is a direct descendant of the Han family. Although his seniority is low, his status is extremely high. His words are naturally military orders in the aristocratic family army-based with family as the carrier.
Han Mo pondered and finally said, "Han Bitu, what did the military order say?"
"Return to the fifth young master, the military order is clearly stated. After entering the city, if anyone kills innocent people without mercy, he will be killed without mercy!" Han Bitu replied.
Han Siyuan was stunned and stared at Han Mo and said, "Fifth Young Master, do you want me to die?"
Han Mo did not answer, but looked at the more than ten trembling soldiers and said coldly: "Who threw that girl downstairs?"
Two soldiers came out and said, "Yes... it's us!"
Han Siyuan immediately said, "It has nothing to do with them, I ordered them to throw it down. I will bear all the blame." He stood up and picked up the knife, placed it in front of Han Mo, and said, "Fifth Master, you want me to die, I have nothing to say, you will kill me now."
Han Mo sighed: "Uncle Yuan, on the battlefield, you are a hero. Xiaowu respects you and admires you even more. But if you make a mistake, you always have to explain it to everyone." After a pause, he continued: "The two of them may have followed your orders, but they knew they had violated the military rules but did not advise you. Moreover, they had blood on their hands, so they could only apologize for death!"
Han Siyuan held the big knife, closed his eyes, and smiled bitterly: "Fifth Young Master, I hope my Han family can really achieve something!"
Of course he understood what it means to buy the hearts of the people in the Han family. Han Mo wanted to kill himself, just to kill the chicken to warn the monkey, to establish his authority and to express the moral stance of the Han family.
Once you die, you will not only restore your reputation, but also give other soldiers a warning.
"The young and old at home will be taken care of by the fifth young master in the future." Han Siyuan bowed and bowed, and then said nothing more. The sword flashed and wiped his neck. Blood spurted out, and his body fell into a pool of blood.
The two soldiers' eyes were flashing with fear, but they soon gritted their teeth, picked up their own swords, bowed together, and said, "If you will be able to take care of the young and old in the family in the future!" They also committed suicide and died.
In a blink of an eye, three corpses spread across the ground, and blood flowed down the road.
Han Mo closed his eyes and said in his heart: "With this soldiers in the Han family, how can we not achieve great things!" After a long time, he stood up and looked at the other soldiers and said: "Go back to your camp and lead thirty military sticks each!"
The soldiers all claimed that they were tidying up their clothes and armor, carried the bodies of Han Siyuan and the other two, and left the Moon Tower.
...
The building was silent, but there was a cry of exclamation coming from downstairs. Han Bitu, who followed him, had already said loudly to everyone: "These three people killed innocent people indiscriminately, violated military law and were executed by the fifth young master. If there were any innocent people who killed innocent people indiscriminately, the same ended!
Soon, a burst of cheers came from downstairs, all of which were the voices of the people. Being able to strictly govern the army would at least protect the lives of the people. Many people have begun to ask who this "Fifth Young Master" is.
However, the soldiers downstairs were even more solemn when they saw that Han Siyuan, who was the deputy general, could not escape the military law.
The girls upstairs found it incredible that the young master actually presided over justice for them and killed several main culprits on the spot, which was almost like a dream.
It is common for the nobles to humiliate the weak, but today's events are beyond everyone's expectations. Han Siyuan is as strong as Han Mo, who just apologized for a few words, and this is simply incredible in the eyes of the girls.
When the girls looked at Han Mo's eyes, they suddenly felt awe and gratitude.
"Everyone finds a way out. When you look back, you will find him to get some money. You will decide what to do." Han Mo glanced at the girls, sighed, and turned to Han Qing and said, "You go to the army to pay some money, each person will give them some, so that they can survive." Without further ado, he took Zhu Xiaoyan and others and walked downstairs quickly.
After leaving the Moon Tower, several cavalry rushed over with flags on their backs. They were the messengers. Seeing that they were in a hurry, Han Mo stopped and said, "What's wrong?"
Several cavalrymen also knew Han Mo, and one of them said, "When you go back to the fifth master, all the other sects have been broken, the Ye family army has surrendered, we are about to report to the Lord!"
"Where is my father?" Han Mo asked.
"In the County Magistrate's Mansion." The cavalry replied: "At the beginning of the war, Zhao Xiqiao, the county magistrate of Bozhou, was imprisoned by the Ye family in the county magistrate's mansion. He was just released. Now the lord is in the county magistrate's mansion!"
Han Mo nodded and said, "Are we still in the Ye family's mansion?"
The other three gates were broken so quickly, and I didn’t know if the things in the Ye Mansion Treasure House were transported out.
"Go back to the fifth young master, our people are still there." The cavalry said: "But General Xiao brought people into the mansion, and he sent people to look for doctors everywhere. We have brothers who saw that some of them seemed to be seriously injured and were carried into the Han Mansion to settle. General Xiao seemed very anxious."
Han Mo was a little confused. Xiao Huaijin would not be anxious. It would make Xiao Huaijin anxious, so he was naturally not an ordinary person. He frowned and asked, "Do you know who was injured?"
The cavalry replied: "We didn't see it, so we can't be sure. But a brother said that it seemed that the military advisor was stabbed by an assassin. He was seriously injured. Now he is looking for a doctor to treat the military!"
