It was such a strange scene that Yang Shunhui was filled with disappointment.
He has at least 100000 people under his command. These people are all brought out from Chang'an city. These departments are people who have been with him for more than a year, including even his old subordinates who have been with him for more than ten years. Yang Shunhui once believed that if he took these people to war and encountered danger, these people could fight to protect themselves.
He once firmly believed that these men were in the same heart of life and death.
Yang Shunhui didn't know when he became self-confident. Although his men gathered around, none of them took action to protect him or even scolded him. He didn't feel surprised or even angry at all.
Perhaps, this kind of self-confidence is some after arriving at Muping city. Maybe it was after he received the first benefit from foreigners.
He looked around and found that the familiar faces were indifferent. Even the old subordinates who had been with him for the longest time did not show their willingness to fight for him. And those soldiers, with a look of indifference, made Yang Shunhui feel like a joke.
He smiled.
sneer.
I don't know whether I'm laughing at those men or myself.
It's not that he hasn't heard any gossip over the years, and he doesn't know what people below talk about himself. Since that time when foreigners beat people in the street and the people flocked to his general's house in the hope that he could stand out, he ordered the soldiers to disperse the people, he felt that the eyes of the soldiers had changed.
That's why he decided to withdraw at this time. He knew that he had no way to be convincing about this team. The Lord general was not recognized by the soldiers. What a terrible thing on the battlefield? He knew he couldn't win the war, so he thought of escaping. A person who is obsessed with money is naturally obsessed with status. How can he be willing to give up his power unless he has to?
Yang Shunhui, the young man sitting on the opposite low wall, knew him. He had an intersection with this young man when he was in Chang'an city. He just didn't expect that the little man who came to prominence many years later is now the most powerful man in the world in the Central Plains.
"I know you're here to kill me, but you can't humiliate me before you kill me."
He watched Fang explain.
"So you still have dignity."
Fang Xie shook his head slightly, as if disdaining this sentence.
"I thought your dignity had long been bought by foreigners. I didn't expect there was still a trace left. Since you still know what self-esteem is, you should know how to die with the most dignity. You don't want me to humiliate you. First of all, you don't humiliate yourself."
Fang explained.
Yang Shun was stunned, took a step back and observed the situation around him again. He can see that the people around him are strong in cultivation. I'm afraid they are all above themselves. If they fight alone, there is no chance of winning. Now they are trapped and it's impossible to get out.
"Dignity?"
He continued to sneer: "I was firmly proud of being a Yang family, but what kind of embarrassment did I feel when I left Chang'an City? If I hadn't left at the beginning, I was afraid I would have become a skeleton. Why should I die for such a court? Why should I work for such a family?"
"If a man treats me as a national, I should repay him as a national."
Yang Shunhui suddenly raised his voice and said, "but the world has changed a long time ago. What else can the Yang family maintain their dignity? Is it wrong for me to think I can live well in troubled times? Yes, foreigners have given me some benefits. Is it wrong for me to accept those benefits in order to raise troops and 100000 soldiers?"
He looked around at his men: "you white eyed wolves, eating my clothes, using mine, but still scolding me behind my back, and want to kill me. Are you right? Fang Xie!"
He looked at Fang Xie and roared: "Don't talk to me about dignity and loyalty! Do you have loyalty to the Yang family?! I don't know how you come from such a narrow mind. Since you disrespect the Yang family, why do you stand up for the Yang family now? The big Sui Dynasty is over, why do you stand up for the big Sui Dynasty? Your vision is too low. You are limited to the relationship between one country and one family. You are too narrow Pass! "
He said loudly, "who is the ruler? Does it have anything to do with most of the people? If the Yang family is good to me, I am a loyal minister of the Yang family. If the Yang family is bad to me, why should I be foolish and loyal? If foreigners are good to me, why can't I help foreigners? I only see who values me, and then what's wrong with me serving them?"
Looking at the crazy questioner, Fang Xie had a feeling that he didn't even want to say anything.
"If you could set your sights higher, you wouldn't look down on me!"
Yang Shunhui said: "think about it, no matter who is the ruler, as long as it is good to the people, isn't he a good ruler? It may not be right for people of the same race to be the emperor, and it may not be wrong for people of other nationalities to be the Emperor. You have prejudices against foreigners because you don't see the world clearly!"
Fang Xie took off the wine bag from his waist, took a sip, and then took a long breath: "I'm here to hear you say something, but it's not like that."
……
……
Yang Shun will open his arms and become excited: "Fang Xie, you are different from these people. They can only be followers all their life, because they can't be founders themselves. You are different. You have created your own career. So you should see it more thoroughly than them."
He shouted: "Is the so-called nation meaningful? Only the narrowest people will stick to what nation. The people of the opru empire are just different from us in appearance, but those people adapt to new things much faster than us. Now most foreign generals can speak Chinese, and they don't think it's a cheap thing. Why do you think it's just to get along with foreigners A cheap thing? "
"Foreigners have adapted to the new environment and new life. Why can't we?"
As he spoke, he observed Fang Xie's reaction and the reactions of his subordinates around him. Seeing that Fang Xie did not stop him, he thought his words had worked.
"Think about what foreigners will bring to us. It's definitely not just bad!"
Yang Shunhui said: "Foreigners have unparalleled advantages, and their social development is correct. As long as they don't look at foreigners as an invasion, it's not so difficult to accept them. You can think like this... Foreigners invade from time to time, but integrate. In this integration, foreigners learn from our strengths, we learn from foreigners' strengths, and finally become one "At that time, the people have adapted to the new life and new identity. Will they resist?"
"No!"
He tried to make his voice full of shock: "at that time, the people will forget that the rulers are not Han people."
He gasped, satisfied with his explanation.
To tell the truth, he really couldn't accept foreigners at first, but as he saw the strength of foreigners and enjoyed a superior life more and more, he began to no longer resist. He really thought that no matter who is the emperor, it doesn't matter as long as he can guarantee his status.
He believes that it is not only the foreigners' fault that he has reached this point. If the Han people do not resist, there is no need for him to abandon his current power status. Even if he no longer leads the army, he will become a man like a governor and have a very important position in the foreign court. After all, if the foreigners want to control this land, they need the support of the Han people.
"Did you say these things to your men?"
Fang Xie asked.
Yang Shun will shake his head: "I don't need to explain to them. They will see this sooner or later."
Fang Xie smiled.
Laugh with anger.
"I don't want to explain to you or argue with you, because there is nothing to say between you and me. I thought if you still have a little conscience in your heart, I could get some help from you, such as the military configuration of foreigners, such as why Lehmann is not afraid of practitioners... But now I give up these ideas because I I find it disgusting to talk to you“
Fang Xie said, "now you can resist."
"Do you people really want to see me killed?"
Yang Shunhui looked at the old subordinates and yelled loudly. But they still didn't do anything, just clenched their fists and released their anger in their eyes.
"If you don't like it, I can change it."
Yang Shunhui found something wrong and immediately changed his tone: "After all, I'm a Han, and I have Han blood in my bones. For foreigners, I only use them more, but for my own people, I have sincere feelings in my heart. I can change with these 100000 brothers, and I can take them to war with foreigners. You should know that sometimes interests are the most important Things. "
"That's right"
Fang Xie nodded: "interest is the most important thing, but not your interest."
"Don't you want to know more about foreigners? Don't you want to know why practitioners can't kill Lehmann?"
Yang Shunhui said eagerly, "I can give you answers. I can assure you that no Han people in the whole Central Plains know Lyman and foreigners better than me. Think about it, you can't get anything by killing me, but if I am willing to lead troops to help you, you will get great benefits."
Fang Xie waved to the general who had escorted Yang Caiping with a thousand cavalry, and then said something. The general obviously hesitated, then nodded and left. Yang Shunhui kept looking at him nervously and didn't know what Fang Xie wanted to arrange.
"I'm not interested in you anymore."
Fang Xie said, "before I came here, I said I would gouge out your heart and see what color it is. But now I've changed my mind. Your blood will dirty my hands. Since you like foreigners' things so much and believe in foreigners' weapons, I'll give you a chance to die."
After saying this, Yang Shunhui suddenly found that many soldiers were surrounded with firearms. He didn't know that these firearms belonged to those murderous Musketeers.
At least a hundred muskets were aimed at him, and all the people with guns were his soldiers.
"It doesn't seem difficult for you to end you with foreigners."
He raised his hand, and the soldiers with foreign guns pressed forward, suppressing the area where Yang Shun could move smaller and smaller.
"Feel what you say is great."
Fang Xie pressed his lifted hand down, and the cavalry immediately began to carry the fire gun and aim at Yang Shunhui.
