Chapter 2919: Rat has skin, but humans have no etiquette(1/2)
Raising enemies is not only a matter of staying at your mouth, but also something that some people will do.
After three or four hundred years of the Han Dynasty, the Western Regions were not a good place, but a good place to raise enemies.
In the Western Regions, there are all kinds of enemies.
There are enemies that will never be defeated.
Just like the Western Qiang in the Eastern Han Dynasty, it seems that so many Qiang people will always rebel.
Under such circumstances, when the Western Regions returned to the foot of the Han Dynasty and were included in the territory of the Cavalry, there were actually many people who did not know what the difference between this return and the previous ones, and they did not know how different Fei Qian's attitude towards the Western Regions was from the previous emperors, so they were very accustomed to operating according to the original conventions.
That's what Lu Bu is like.
Wei Xu is actually an extension of Lu Bu's will.
Perhaps in their hearts, a general without war is worthless. In fact, they may also understand that fighting a war for too long does not actually do anything good to the country, but... as long as it is good to them.
It's like a businessman.
There are good businessmen, but when the environment is harsh and the regulations are not sound, those merchants who are willing to give up profits and benefit everyone will often end up being swallowed up by profiteers, and bad money drives out good money not only in currency.
This type of profiteering businessman often clamors for "no borders". In other words, for this type of businessman, he likes to break boundaries and is used to testing the red line.
The whole process of fanning the riot is actually very simple.
First of all, there must be contradictions.
This is not lacking.
In Xihai City, there may be nothing short of now, but what is not short of is internal contradictions.
All kinds of conflicts, either obscured, suppressed, stranded, or delayed, after Lu Bu came to Xihai City, all kinds of contradictions that should be resolved, but have never been resolved.
Second, there must be someone who causes trouble.
Guan Er is not a good person, because real good people often make things difficult for themselves, not others.
He is a businessman. As long as he has money to make money, he can say anything and sell anything.
Wei Xu could not turn all the military funds and equipment into money, and he had to pass through these merchants.
Lao De is here, Fatty An is here, Guan Er is here too...
So did Xihai City have these merchants first, and then stole and sold weapons, or did they first attract these merchants?
Although Zhang Liao cleaned it up before, it was mainly targeted at the officials of Xihai City and the Protectorate. He did not take action against these merchants, but these merchants were still uneasy, afraid that when the General of the Cavalry came, it would be their end. So Guan Er and others naturally planned to escape, hide first, and go to a safe place to see the subsequent situation. After all, the money they had earned was all earned by them "hard work", so how could they easily give it up?
Third, there must be an introduction.
Guan Er set his sights on the remaining officials in Xihai City.
These officials are not good people, let alone any wrongdoing. If these officials were following the rules on weekdays, Xihai City would not have any connection with the existence of such people as Er.
Zhang Liao cleaned up some of the officials in the Great Protectorate and Xihai City, but some of them were left, which did not mean that these officials were innocent. It was because Zhang Liao did not have so many people to replace these people and do some basic work, which allowed these grassroots officials in Xihai City to survive.
Then these grassroots officials think that Zhang Liao was kind and let them go, so they changed their minds and changed their minds?
Maybe there is.
But most people still think, "Don't eat a few rotten watermelons, I don't ask for the price when eating restaurants in the city..."
Or "Why are I so unlucky..."
Before the concept was completely changed, the officials' thoughts were still the thinking pattern of the feudal dynasty.
At the same time, can ordinary people in Xihai City feel the changes in the overall situation and know the direction of the overall situation?
Maybe there are, too.
However, most of them still fail to form any complete thinking pattern, and are often driven by emotions.
The Western Regions are in turmoil and the West Sea is about to face danger. The reason why these ordinary people stayed in Xihai City was, on the one hand, because they felt that Xihai City was at least a city with a defense of the city wall, and on the other hand, they were reluctant to let go of some of the assets they had finally obtained.
Including but not limited to land and real estate...
They can't bear to let go, even if they know the danger and the difficulties, they can only endure it.
Those who always want to see the world and put it next to their mouths and can become practices are often young people, while middle-aged people don’t say a word. Even middle-aged people also know that the world is big, but middle-aged people also know that there are many mortgages and their children are very young.
People who cannot leave or are reluctant to leave do not mean that they have no worries or fears, and will not feel pain. If there is no fluctuation, they cannot be patient like stagnant water. However, the behavior of Guan Er and the others seemed to have ignited some fire, which made the people who were somewhat suppressed to the limit also become restless.
If these remaining officials in Xihai City can have a little subjective initiative, can think from the standpoint of the people for a short time, and can truly solve the worries and doubts in the people's hearts, then everything will be different.
Unfortunately, Zhang Liao was just an outstanding cavalry general. He was not able to play with people's hearts like Jia Xu. When he led his troops, he considered more about the soldiers in Xihai City. He considered less about the people in Xihai City. Of course, this does not mean that the responsibility lies with Zhang Liao, but that Xihai City is now in a distorted state and cannot be speculated with normal rules.
The Western Regions coalition forces are invading a large-scale invasion, and the war is right in front of us. This is undoubtedly a very serious situation. In the face of such a situation, the markets in Xihai City are generally under the jurisdiction of a curfew, and even people are not allowed to move freely during the day. In fact, the people can understand such a government order. After all, it is a special period, and the risk of transmission caused by the flow of people and the transmission of goods should be minimized as much as possible.
Therefore, the city of Xihai adopts a quiet... 告, curfew management, prohibits all illegal gatherings, and naturally prohibits shop trading. The needs of the people in Xihai City are collected by the officials in Lifang and distributed to the people in the city.
Are these reasons appropriate?
Then the question arises.
Officials can get food rations first.
So the officials can eat well, and there are even leftovers!
Then the people have nothing...
Sometimes, officials will be too tired, forget, and miss it.
Isn't this normal?
Which of the officials in the feudal dynasty did their duty and responsibility for the people?
As a result, the officials' behavior of stealing food was hit by the hungry people!
The officials in Lifang were angry and angry and scolded the people, feeling that these people were unorganized and undisciplined, which destroyed the curfew management and violated the laws of Xihai City. They originally thought that this would make the people retreat because they had not only encountered such a problem before. Then whenever they started to scold the people, these people would retreat, so the officials in Lifang habitually used their rebukes again.
Isn’t it just eating and drinking, or even a dragon’s liver and phoenix gallbladder, just used to satisfy hunger. As for such a small matter?
But what they never expected was that this time it didn't work!
The already nervous and panic mood was ignited...
Ordinary people in the Han Dynasty could carry knives or guns, but they had to take off the gun head and separate them from the wooden handle. People in the Han Dynasty could even have long-range weapons and shoot bows with a kinetic energy far greater than 1.8 joules!
The Han Dynasty was a ban on crossbows and armor.
A, the people can't afford it.
As for the crossbow...
Only the crossbow can allow an ordinary citizen to have the ability to kill someone from a distance at any time.
Bows and arrows need to be practiced, but most people cannot afford it. People who have to work hard for two meals every day do not have much free time and money to practice bows and arrows.
Why did we strictly control weapons in ancient China?
This is not difficult to understand at all. After all, in the thinking of ancient feudal dynasties, whose family belongs to this world? Of course it belongs to the emperor! Therefore, as the head of the family, the emperor definitely does not want the servants or servants to walk sideways with weapons every day. After all, if one day the people can't think about it, then the originally extremely noble emperor will become a worker serving the people, how can this be done?
Of course, what the emperor focused on was not the lowest-level people, but the local tyrants who used the reasons of the people to privately store their weapons and armor.
The officials of the feudal dynasty in China were actually very powerful, far beyond the cognition of ordinary people, especially the top-level officials. In the face of the trend of concentrated social conflicts, obvious wealth differentiation, and prominent civil conflicts, they basically foresee the occurrence of vicious events such as riots, resistance to the law, and uprisings in the people, so they will inevitably include lethal weapons in the scope of management and control.
For example, the Yuan Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty.
The Yuan Dynasty stipulates that "those who have privately kept all armors shall be executed; those who fail to become mates shall be beaten 57, and one year in prison; those who are capable of running under scattered armor shall be beaten 37, and those who are capable of running under scattered armor shall be beaten 37, and those who are more than five, those who are more than ninety-seven, and those who are more than four, those who are more than seventy-seven, and those who are more than two years in prison; those who are more than four, those who are more than seventy-seven, and those who are less than two years in prison shall be beaten 57, and those who are more than ten bows shall be executed; those who are more than five, those who are less than seventy-seven, and those who are less than four, those who are less than two years in prison; those who are less than seventy-seven, and those who are less than two years in prison shall be beaten 57, and those who are less than four, those who are less than seventy-seven, and those who are less than two years in prison; those who are less than four, those who are less than seventy-seven, and those who are less than five, those who are less than two years in prison; those who are less than four, those who are less than seventy-seven, and those who are less than fifty-seven, and those who are less than fifty-seven, and those who are less than fifty-seven, and those who are less than fifty-seven, and those who are less than fifty-seven, and those who are less than fifty-seven, and those who are less than fifty-seven, and those who are less than fifty-seven, and those who are less than fifty-seven, and those who are less than fifty-seven, and those who are less than fifty-seven, and those who are less than fifty-seven, and those who are less than fifty-seven, and those who are less than fifty
The Qing Dynasty was very strict with the ban on firearms, and even not only dealt with individuals, but also killed the family and neighbors. "Privately casting red clothes and other large and small cannon positions and guns, regardless of officials, military, civilians, etc., and foundry workers, they were killed. The wife paid the family of the heroes as slaves, and the family property was officially appointed as an official. The neighbors of the casting place, the owners, the village chiefs, etc., were all about to be snatched and waited."
However, even with such strict bans, the problems still remain in conflict...
There are still some ordinary people in Xihai City. Even if the Western Regions Alliance is about to arrive and Zhang Liao organized two people to migrate, the daily eating, drinking, stooling, peeing, etc. in Xihai City cannot be obtained by themselves or cleaned up by themselves. Some ordinary people must be required to serve them.
When foreign enemies come, they should have worked together to the outside world.
The officials in Xihai City are clear about this and the people are also aware of this.
But the question is, why is there a problem when there is a more critical moment, the more united we should be, and the more difficult the times, the more we should strengthen our confidence, work together to do our best to win this war between the Western Regions coalition?
Is it the unruly people who intend to provoke?
Are the untouchables disobeying management?
Maybe it is, or maybe it is not, but one thing is undeniable, that is, in the face of the same life and death crisis, people's hearts are still incompatible.
Who doesn't want to be safe?
Who doesn't want to protect their family?
Especially under the wartime rationing system, the elderly and children of ordinary people want to eat a little soft food, but there is nothing at all!
If no one has any, that will be true.
But officials have it.
Before, they could give some money and get some more, but after Zhang Liao came, these officials were a little scared and dared not collect money, for fear of being reported, so they simply turned their faces and scolded these people repeatedly, indicating that they had nothing.
Anyway, the future is long, right?
Of course, it is also possible that the officials think that these people are ignorant and don’t give enough money to them. At least they must be jade or something, and what are the copper plates?
People are forgetful. As soon as Zhang Liao left, many people took a breath and felt that the matter was over and they were stable. They thought that these troublemakers dared to cause trouble, but they forgot that people were the most terrifying thing when they were hungry...
To be continued...
