Chapter 347: Fight, fight for whom?

This is not the first day that Gongsun Yue has fought with Dayun's soldiers. They have fought several times in the past

few days. Dayun's soldiers were very conservative in the previous fights, why are they so radical this time?

It's as if they don't want to die.

This thought flashed through Gongsun Yue's mind for a while, and he figured out the key.

These people are probably fighting with the determination to die.

Killing one is not a loss, killing two is a profit.

Dayun's soldiers don't want to live anymore, but they, the Shunyi Army, still want to live.

Gongsun Yue came to Tang Shi.

"General Tang, the soldiers of Dayun are not in good condition, you have to be careful."

Tang Shi nodded: "They are just like this because they feel that there is no hope of winning. Rather than being blamed for losing and bringing trouble to their families, it is better to die on the battlefield."

"But if they knew there was a second choice, they would naturally not fight so hard."

"I came here to let them know that there is a second choice in this world."

What choice?

Gongsun Yue had a headache.

These soldiers of Dayun fought so hard just for their families.

Unless their families can be rescued, they will definitely not stop.

Although the Tang family has old subordinates in the royal capital, it is definitely not easy to rescue them with the Feiluan Army.

No matter how he thought about it, Gongsun Yue didn't think those soldiers would be really rescued.

"Huai Qing"

"Long time no see."

Tang Shi smiled modestly: "It seems like the last time we met was several years ago."

"I haven't seen you for several years, you look much older than before." "

Bullshit, what do you mean old? I'm the same age as you, just in my early twenties, how can I be old?"

"I was wrong, you're not old, you're mature."

Tang Shi shook his head: "Why do you have to fight so hard?"

"You know you can't win this battle."

"Who said you can't win." Huai Qing clenched the knife in his hand: "I can win."

"I've lost to you all my life, and I have to win you this time. I have to win this battle no matter what."

It was obviously a losing game, but Huai Qing was still stubborn.

He insisted that he could win.

"Stop it."

Tang Shi looked at him calmly, as if looking at an ignorant child: "Aren't you tired?"

"Aren't you tired during this period?"

"I know your difficulties, but what if I tell you that your family has been rescued?"

"Rescued?"

"What do you mean by rescued?"

Huai Qing looked at Tang Shi in shock.

"You arrested my family?"

Gongsun Yue couldn't listen any more.

"What do you mean by 'we captured your family'? We are rescuing your family. Your family has suffered so much under the Feiluan Army. If we don't rescue them, who knows what kind of bullying they will have to endure?"

"General Huaiqing, I think you haven't seen the world that our Shunyi Army has conquered, right?"

"We Shunyi Army are not the rebels in your mind. We are also people with flesh and blood."

"We are not conquering the world for our own selfish desires. We are doing it to make the people of the world live a better life."

Huaiqing interrupted Tang Shi impatiently and roared at Tang Shi: "Since it is for the better life of the people of the world, then this war should not be fought."

"Tang Shi, I used to respect you. I thought you were smart and better at martial arts than me. Although I didn't say it, I recognized you in my heart. Now I just think it's ridiculous to hear what you say."

"You keep saying that the Shunyi Army is for the people of the world, but do you want to see how many people in the world have died because of you?"

"How many people died in the battle between the two armies, and how many soldiers died under your weapons."

"Stop pretending."

Casualties are inevitable in the battle between the two armies.

Even if Gan Fanren is so lucky, most of the soldiers he met surrendered voluntarily, and he took down many cities without much effort, but there were still casualties.

Qiu Xiangyuan's biographies are so many that they fill up a study.

And this is just the beginning, far from the end.

But Tang Shi did not think the existence of the Shunyi Army was wrong.

"Huaiqing, you only saw the people who died in the war, but have you seen how many people died when there was no war?" "

Corrupt officials were rampant. In the case of food shortage, officials colluded with businessmen to make money and raised the food price."

"In order to make money, when the plague broke out, they did not distinguish between the sick and the healthy. Even when there were doctors willing to provide treatment prescriptions, they still burned the people in the city alive."

"And those refugees who were stranded outside, they lacked food and clothing. I don't know how many of them starved to death along the way, but the officials of Dayun were unwilling to give them even a grain of rice. Instead, they squeezed their bones and blood dry and ate them as meat animals."

Tang Shi took out an account book: "This account book is the evidence of the crime."

"My current lord decided to establish his own kingdom and let the people live a good life just because he found this account book."

The account book in Tang Shi's hand was exactly the one Gan Fanren and his men had obtained in the mountain stronghold.

It clearly recorded the accounts of this mountain stronghold robbing and killing passers-by and selling their meat to high officials.

"Do you know who is the biggest buyer behind this?"

Tang Shi said in a sad voice: "It's His Majesty."

"Our His Majesty."

"The people use the money they earn to pay taxes to support His Majesty."

"Our Majesty should have made their lives more prosperous and happier, but he didn't. He not only demanded their taxes, but also their lives."

"One civilian after another was turned into delicacies on his plate."

"How innocent these civilians are!"

"Compared to the number of civilians who died in the war, there are far fewer civilians than those who were harmed by corrupt officials."

Tang Shi's tone made those soldiers who were still resisting lose their will to fight.

Fight?

How to fight?

For whom?

To control the Majesty who threatened them with the lives of their families, or to harm the people and the corrupt officials who did not take their lives seriously?

If it was for the sake of the people, then this unscrupulous court should be overthrown.

Overthrow this cannibalistic regime.

The soldiers put down their weapons one after another and remained silent.

After a while, Huai Qing whispered, "Are you sure you can rescue our families?"

"Not that we can rescue them, but we have already rescued your families."

"I haven't shown up these days just because of this."

Tang Shi turned over and got off his horse, exposing all his weaknesses to the enemy.

"Everyone, you should all know me and know me. You know that I never brag or lie."

"If I say I rescued them, then I rescued them."

"I don't expect you to surrender immediately, I just hope you stop immediately and wait for your families."
