The world may never be absolutely fair.
For example, the powerful Mengyuan wolf riding on the grassland is invincible, but looking at a Yishui can only sigh. The dominance of the navy ships of the black flag army on the waterway is unshakable. The tactics of building floating bridges learned from the Han people can not be put into effect under the rolling of the navy of the black flag army.
The closest to success, the floating bridge built in advance rushed into the river under the support of hundreds of people. Unfortunately, the estimation of the width of Yishui was inaccurate, so that the floating bridge was so short. Before the Mongolian Yuan people figured out how to continue, the archers of the navy of the black flag army slaughtered the soldiers carrying the floating bridge with feather arrows for a while.
Later, the Mongolians changed their ways and forcibly captured many Han people and asked them to carry the pontoon into the water. The soldiers of the black flag army did not dare to shoot any more arrows, but they put down two fire ships from the upstream and directly crashed the pontoon, and then the Navy's ships began to save people. Saved most of the people who fell into the water.
Mengyuan people tried their best, but they couldn't get through.
"Sometimes I feel really helpless."
Da Zi looked at Mr. Jiu's back and shook his head: "the world has become different because of practitioners. What does a country depend on? A strong army? Rich granaries? Or hundreds of millions of people? It's not... Sometimes even as practitioners, I want to scold..."
Mengge looked at him with some contempt in his eyes.
"You are really hypocritical."
He said.
Da Ziyou smiled: "It's really unacceptable that a country is dominated by individuals rather than a strong army, especially you, your majesty. If there are no practitioners in the world, perhaps the war will become fair. Now it's just Xiao 19 who stops here, we can't pass. But then again, even if there are no practitioners in the world, what do you want It's not easy to cross the river. The gunboats of the black flag army are like wild beasts, and you don't have a dragon killing knife in your hand. "
He sat down and said: "How can we be fair? Is there any fairness in the world? If there is no practitioner, we should devote ourselves to developing weapons, just like the black flag army now. After having firearms, the combat power of the black flag army is amazing. In the past, there was an unwritten rule among countries, that is, overhaul practitioners do not participate in wars between countries, but this rule is meaningless. Which practitioner The walker saw his country being infringed and didn't do it? "
Mengge said, "can even the most powerful practitioners kill all the people in the world?"
Da Zizi shook his head: "no"
Mongo said, "so it's fair that there are practitioners in this world. When overhaul practitioners are out of control, maybe even the emperor's life is not protected. But when weapons are out of control, the world is not protected."
"You are already a faithful believer of God."
Da Ziyou smiled and said, "I'm happy for you."
Mengge shook his head: "maybe I'm wrong."
"Why?"
Big freedom asked.
Mengge took a deep breath: "Although I made a decision after I went down the mountain from Dalun temple, I still have a problem in my heart. What kind of development is right... Practitioners decide the fate of the country? That's no good, just as Dalun Ming king has always suppressed my kuktaimeng family for more than 1000 years, he can decide the life and death of the whole golden family at any time. Unless Huang A real overhaul walker who can defeat the king of great wheel Ming was born in the Jin family. Otherwise, this fate will not change unless the king of great wheel Ming dies. "
"However, if the weapons with the ability to destroy heaven and earth are in the hands of the emperor, it is more appropriate."
Da Zi was puzzled and said, "didn't you just say that the world with practitioners is more fair?"
Mongo Road: "What I mean by fairness is fairness to ordinary people. Practitioners are high above everything else. Even if they get out of control, they only want to kill nobles and royalty, not innocent people. However, once the weapon reaches that power, ordinary people will be involved. I didn't make a decision in the position of the Great Khan of Mongolia and yuan. I'm not a God, but my thought and absolute power Most people are different. "
"I can't understand."
Da Zi said, "I thought you made a decision for the rise of Mongolia Yuan."
"If it is for the rise of Mongolia and Yuan Dynasty, I prefer to develop firearms like the black flag army."
Mengge took a big look: "For the people all over the world, my choice is right. Only for the golden family and Mengyuan, my choice is wrong. I don't know why I made such a decision. When I saw that scene in the Dalun temple, I knew I had to stop it. At that moment, I forgot that I was the sweat of Mengyuan and that I was shouldering the rise of the golden family The mission. "
Big comfortable frowned: "you... Are really contradictory."
Mengge looked over the river, pointed and said: "If you can't kill Xiao 19 and destroy the navy gunboat of the black flag army within three days, I'll take my troops back. Now my loss is not too great. After I go back and rest for a while, Meng Yuan's national strength can recover. I've gradually come out of the mentality of doing this for the people of the world. If there are more setbacks, I will become the original me."
After being silent for a long time, Da Zi said, "well, in three days, if Mr. Jiu doesn't come back, the four of us will let Xiao 19 stop you even if we are desperate."
Mengge shook his head: "up to now, you haven't figured out one thing... The Buddha sect is the main force in the eastern expedition, and I just ride with the wolf. Because your Buddha sect is the faithful believer and slave of God, and I'm not. If you have to separate it, I'm only God's helper at most."
When Da Ziyou was shocked, he suddenly thought that he had ignored one thing.
Mengge did promise God to march to the East and put it into action, but mengge was a big sweat first. How could he remain unmoved when he saw the power of the black flag army's firearms? Once the Khan felt more and more that the development of firearms was the road that human beings should take, he was afraid that the eastern expedition would give up halfway.

Chang'an City
Fang Xie walked in the street without camouflage or covering his face. In fact, not many people in Chang'an really know Fang Xie. Even those on East 23rd Street don't remember Fang Xie's face. Chang'an city is too big. Most people have never seen Fang Xie.
He walked on the street of Xicheng. He seldom came here, so the people didn't know him.
At this time, he walked on the street to see the mood of the big city, which was different from that in Chang'an City before. In the past, when he was in Chang'an City, he looked up at Chang'an and felt that it was too big. Even if he was in it, he had the illusion that he was far away from Chang'an.
Now, he looks at Chang'an's mood and says it more vulgar. He is like a rich businessman walking in his own industry.
The emperor is patrolling his territory.
In recent days, the situation in Chang'an City has gradually stabilized. Those damn people have been killed in 7788. A group of criminals will be executed at the entrance of the vegetable market every day. It's just like the scene of a group of people losing their heads every day after Yang Yin, Yiwang, rebelled.
The city has now reached a delicate balance. Fang Xie needs to kill a group of people to gain prestige and let everyone know who is the master of Chang'an city now. The idea of those living courtiers was to sacrifice a group of people in exchange for the acceptance of Fang Xie. Both sides take what they need, and the dead are just scouring the sand in the waves.
"Lord"
Chen Xiaoru caught up with Fang Xie and said in a low voice, "there's news from Dongjiang."

Eastern Xinjiang
Phoenix platform
This famous border city in the Sui Dynasty is now incomplete. The walls are full of scars, and the traces left by shells are shocking. There are few piers left on the wall, but the strong red flag of the Sui Dynasty still flutters with the wind, even if it is so broken.
It's been here for a long time. Many people have died here.
Even if the army of the opru Empire has powerful firearms, sometimes the perseverance and fighting spirit of soldiers are the key factors to determine the outcome of a war. East Chu was easily destroyed. As the close neighbor of East Chu, Sui people showed a fighting spirit that made foreigners awe.
It is the troops of the black flag army Nalan dingdong who are now responsible for guarding the border city.
With 100000 troops, he left his base, left his familiar hometown and rushed all the way from the southwest to the East. Then he started a fierce battle with foreigners for a moment, and never took a step back.
Nalan dingdong stood on the wall and looked at the company camp of foreigners in the distance. He was a little restless. It has been half a month, and the supplies promised by Mu Guangling have not been delivered yet. If it goes on like this, the army will run out of food in ten days. This is still under the condition that the black flag army has goods and support from the sky.
The foreign fleet entered the inland from the Yangtze River Estuary, and then attacked the back of the Sui army. Because he was a little careless in inquiring about intelligence, the Zhao family army supported by Jiangdu defeated and was repulsed by the foreign army for nearly a hundred miles. As a result, the situation immediately became chaotic.
Now, there are foreigners in front of the Han Army and foreigners behind it. There are Chinese in front of foreigners, and there may be Chinese behind them. The total number of Han troops exceeds nearly one million, but there is no unified command and dispatching, just like a plate of loose sand. All the people who come here want to resist the enemy outside the country, but no one is satisfied with anyone.
At the beginning, Mu Guangling sent six troops to help Fenghuang station, but five of them didn't send troops at all. One of them arrived at fenghuangtai, a coalition army composed of people and horses on the green forest roads in eastern Xinjiang. As a result, such a team with outstanding combat power but no combat experience has killed more than 70% of its troops after only seven days.
If Nalan dingdong hadn't decided to come with the black flag army, I'm afraid the phoenix platform would have been lost by now. The reason why Phoenix station is so famous is precisely because of its important strategic position. Once the phoenix platform is lost, the team of foreigners can drive straight in. It can be said that there are no more dangerous places in eastern Xinjiang than fenghuangtai and Shanhaiguan.
Mu Guangling was very angry about this. When the convener held a meeting, he was angry and killed the five leaders who didn't listen to the generals. As a result, he aroused contradictions. Before fighting with foreigners, his family fought first.
"General, Mu Guangling sent a messenger."
The soldiers hurried behind Nalan dingdong and handed a letter.
Nalan dingdong opened the letter and looked at it, then sneered: "Before I led the troops, I always thought Mu Guangling was a real hero. But now, his energy has gradually shifted from resisting foreigners to maintaining his position. He asked me to send troops to cut off the back of the Luling army, and then swallowed the Luling army. At first, the people and horses of the Mu family stood in the front against the foreigners with real swords and guns, but now they are calculating how to preserve their strength More and more people are rushing to aid eastern Xinjiang, and Mu Guangling's selfish desire is becoming more and more serious. "
"What shall we do?"
Asked the soldier.
Nalan dingdong handed the letter to the soldier: "hurry up and send it to the Luling army. Tell him that my black flag army won't hurt the friendly army. The Luling army can get close behind me. The food and grass supply of the Luling army is out."
"But... We are running out of food and grass."
The soldier said eagerly.
"Mu Guangling thought that holding the granary was the lifeblood of all the people and horses. Let's go and get it back by ourselves."
Nalan dingdong turned around and said, "let the cavalry prepare and go with me tonight!"
