The motorcade entered the city by the last ray of light of the dusk, and in the dim light that gradually entered the night, they drove to a courtyard with green walls and grey tiles on the east side of the city.
The first group of people brought in from Lao Niutou totaled 14 people. Most of them were staff members of the core department who survived by following Chen Shanjun and others during the turmoil. Among them, eight people had the identity of the Huaxia Army, and the remaining six were It is a staff member who was promoted after Juntian. There were guards who looked reckless, and there were young orderlies who served tea and poured water beside Chen Shanjun and the others. Their positions were not necessarily big, but they were brought to the meeting after being rescued together.
The fourteen people were arranged in this two-entry courtyard, and the soldiers in charge of the garrison announced discipline to them: each person has a room, and they are not allowed to walk around and talk to each other for the time being... Basically a form similar to imprisonment. However, the people who had just escaped from the turbulent old Niutou didn't have much to be picky about for a while.
Soon after everyone entered the room, a simple meal was delivered. After dinner, the night in Chengdu was quiet, and some of the people locked in the room were confused or anxious, and they didn't know what the Huaxia Army would do with them. **Ming checked the layout of the room over and over again, listened carefully to the outside world, and made a pot of tea for himself while sighing. Chen Shanjun, who was next door, just sat quietly.
Around Hai Shi, I heard footsteps coming in from outside. There were about seven or eight people. They walked to the door of Chen Shanjun's room and knocked on the door. Chen Shanjun opened the door and saw Ning Yi in a black military coat standing outside, explaining something in a low voice to the people next to him, and then waved them away.
"Mr. Ning..." Chen Shanjun looked at him and gave a slow salute. Ning Yi also returned the military salute: "You look much older." I just said it," proud, appearing dignified in the calm. Chen Shanjun opened his mouth, but was unable to speak.
"Let's go in and talk?" Ning Yi said.
Chen Shanjun moved his body away: "Please come in, please come in..."
The room was simply furnished, but there were also tables and chairs, hot water, teacups, tea leaves, etc. Ning Yi walked to the room and sat down, flipped the teacup, and began to make tea. He spoke directly to the sound of the porcelain colliding.
"The isolation of you won't be too long. I arranged for Chen Zhusheng and the others to come over and make the first round of transcripts for you, mainly to avoid criminals who bully men and women and commit bloody crimes among today's people. I hope I can try to be as objective as possible with regards to the first time the old taurus is **
Ning Yi said, and put the big porcelain cup in front of Chen Shanjun. Chen Shanjun was still a little perplexed: "The transcript..."
"There must be a review after success, and a lesson after failure, so that we don't get nothing."
"Old Niutou..." Chen Shanjun said loudly, then slowly pushed away the stool beside him and knelt down, "I-I am the biggest criminal..."
Ning Yi crossed his fingers on the table, sighed, and didn't help the loser who had nearly white hair in front of him: "But old Chen... What's the use of kneeling on me... "
This sigh drifted in the air, the room was quiet, and tears flowed from Chen Shanjun's eyes, falling to the ground.
Ning Yi was silent for a long time, then looked out the window and said, "There are two circuit court teams that received orders today, and they have already gone to Lao Niutou, and they will also catch the guilty rioters next. It will be recorded as soon as possible. In the middle, what they think of the old bull and how they think about you will also be recorded. If you do something that hurts the world for your own selfish desires, you will be treated here. It will be dealt with together, it will not be appeased, so you can think clearly about what to say next..."
He paused: "But beyond that, regarding your adventure at Old Niutou... I don't know how to evaluate it for the time being."
"Of course it's guilt." Chen Shanjun leaned on the stool and stood up slowly, and when he said this, his tone was firm, "I encouraged them to go to Lao Niu Tou together, I used the wrong method, I killed it So many people, since I made the decision, of course I'm guilty—"
"You used the wrong method..." Ning Yi looked at him, "Where did you go wrong?"
"Old Niutou... I've made too many mistakes, I... If I... " Speaking of this, Chen Shanjun shook his head in pain, as if he wanted to express it simply and clearly, but he couldn't make an accurate conclusion for a while.
"Old Chen, you don't need to tell me today." Ning Yi said, "I will send Chen Zhusheng and the others to record your testimony as soon as possible and record what happened to Lao Niutou. Apart from the fourteen of you, there will also be A large number of testimonies have been recorded. Whether it is a guilty person or an innocent person, I hope that in the future someone can summarize what happened to Lao Niutou and what did you do wrong. On your side, Lao Chen, your Opinions, there will also be a long time, waiting for you to think about it slowly and summarize..."
"I shouldn't be alive..."
"You may not live! Chen Shanjun, do you think I care about your life or death!?" Ning Yi stared at him.
Chen Shanjun was stunned.
Ning Yi said: "If you really did the damn thing for your own selfish desires in Lao Niutou, you should be shot and I will shoot you immediately! But at the same time, Chen Shanjun, is it wrong for the world to be the same? Is it wrong for everyone to be equal? You If you fail once, do you think these ideas are all wrong?"
"..." Chen Shanjun shook his head, "No, these ideas are not wrong."
"Yeah, these ideas can't be wrong. What is the old bull's fault wrong? If you can't get things done, the fault is naturally the method." Ning Yi said, "Before you did things, I reminded you for a long time. The question of interests and short-term interests, the driving force behind all actions in this world is demand, and demand generates interests. A person wants to eat today and go out to play tomorrow. Within a year, he wants to meet periodic needs. The biggest concept is that everyone wants the world to be united..."
"But long-term interests and short-term interests cannot be completely unified. A person who lives by the water wants to eat and play today. After half a year, the flood will destroy his home, so he spends today's time to repair the river. Di, if the world is not peaceful and there are problems with the administration of officials, his daily life will also be affected, and some people will go to study and become officials. If you want to do something that has long-term interests, it will inevitably damage your short-term interests, so every time Individuals balance their spending on something…”
"Old Niutou fights the landlords from the very beginning, you say it is to make the means of production fair, but the short-term interests of everyone in the middle have been greatly satisfied. After a few months, no matter what they do, they will not be able to get that much. Great satisfaction, such a huge gap will make people worse, either they start to become lazy, or they will try their best to find a way to get the same huge short-term benefits, such as using power for personal gain. The short-term benefits cannot be sustained for a long time. , the mid-term interest is blank, and then promises a long-term interest that will take a hundred decades to realize, so he collapses..."
Ning Yi looked at him: "I thought of this truth, and I also saw that everyone is driven by their own needs, so I want to develop the study of physical examination first, try to expand productivity first, so that one person can be worth several people or even a few people. Ten people use it, try to make the products abundant, and people will know the honor and disgrace... Just like we have seen some landlords, the poor and the rich have a good conscience, let everyone after being satisfied, a little more, and a little more conscience …”
Chen Shanjun shook his head: "But, such a person..."
"You want to say that they are not really kind." Ning Yi sneered, "But where are there really kind people, Chen Shanjun, people are a kind of animals! People have their own habits, and they change in different environments and rules. It looks like, maybe he can become better under certain circumstances, and that is what we pursue. Under some rules and premise, people can be more equal, and we will pursue more equality. All things have animism, but The world is inhumane, old Chen, no one can truly get rid of their temperament, the reason why you choose to pursue the greater self and give up the ego is only because you regard the greater self as a higher need."
The room was quiet, and Ning Yi tapped his fingers on the table a few times: "So, Chen Shanjun, is my idea right? Can my way... be clear?"
Chen Shanjun raised his head: "You..." What he saw was a calm, unanswered face.
Ning Yi stood up and covered the teacup: "Your idea, took away more than 1,000 people from the Huaxia Army, Jiangnan He Wen, under the banner of equalizing the rich and the poor, has pulled up a team of hundreds of thousands of people. Team, go forward from here, Fang La's uprising is saying that there is no superiority of equality and equality. Going forward, there have been countless uprisings, and they have all shouted this slogan... If it is repeated again and again, without summarizing and summarizing, equality These two words will always be a castle in the air that cannot be seen or touched. Chen Shanjun, I don't care about your life..."
Ning Yi's eyes looked at him, as if there were blazing flames and cold ice in his eyes at the same time.
"I don't care about your life." He repeated, "For the fire you lit in Lao Niutou, the Huaxia Army gave you a way to survive and gave you resources under the condition of being stretched thin, more than a thousand people say more Not much to say, not much to say, if there are more than 1,000 people, many of the heroes who died in the Southwest War may still be alive... I have paid so much to explore the way for you, and I will summarize the reason for it. For future generations of pathfinders."
He paused: "Old Chen, every change in this world will bleed blood. From today to Datong World, it will never be done overnight. From today onwards, blood will be shed countless times, and failed changes will make blood flow in vain. Because it will bleed, is it unchanged? Because it has to change, so do not care about bleeding? We must cherish every bloodshed, let it have lessons, and produce experience. If you want to atone for your sin, if you are lucky this time, then give it to me Leave the real introspection and lessons behind."
"Think about it these few days." After Ning Yi finished speaking, he turned and walked towards the door.
…
The autumn wind is rustling, blowing the courtyard in the dark night.
After coming out of Chen Shanjun's room, Ning Yi went to the next door ** Ming. Ning Yi didn't need to set up too much for the second or fifth boy who was caught at the beginning. He briefly explained the whole arrangement, and asked ** Ming to tell him what he saw in Lao Niu Tou in the next two years. I tried to make detailed memories and explanations of what I heard, including the reasons for the problem of the old cow, the reasons for failure, etc. Since this is a scholar with ideas and knowledge, it is not difficult to summarize these.
It was only after the matter was finished that ** Ming opened his mouth unexpectedly. He was a little timid at first, but then he plucked up the courage to make a decision: "Ning, Mr. Ning, I have an idea, dare... I want to ask Mr. Ning to agree. ."
"Huh?" Ning Yi looked at him.
Now that the words started, ** Ming's expression gradually became calm: "Student... came to the Huaxia Army, originally because of a conversation with Li Dexin, originally just wanted to be an internal responder and go to the Huaxia Army to do something. Destroyed, but in the past two years, under the influence of Mr. Chen in Lao Niutou, he also slowly figured out some things... Mr. Ning separated Lao Niutou, and now he has sent someone to record and seek experience from scratch. Big… "
"If you have something to say, don't flatter yourself."
"... I will record the things of the old Niutou one by one. After the records are finished, I want to go to Fuzhou, find Li Dexin, and tell everything about the southwest. I heard that the new king has succeeded to the throne in Fuzhou. He Wen and others have established a fair party in Jiangnan, and what I have seen and heard in Lao Niutou may be helpful to them..."
** Ming was not young at first, because he had been threatened as an undercover agent for a long time, it was difficult to straighten his waist at the beginning. After finishing these thoughts, his eyes became firm. Ning Yi's eyes looked at him coldly, and after a while, the gaze was withdrawn, Ning Yi pressed the table and stood up.
"I'll give you two months to leave everything you need to leave behind, then go back to Fuzhou and tell Li Pin everything... If you don't play tricks, your family and dogs will be safe."
Ning Yi's language was indifferent, and he left the room. Behind him, the white-haired ** Ming arched his hands and bowed deeply towards Ning Yi's back.
Ning Yi left this ordinary courtyard. A group of exhausted people in the courtyard were waiting for the next review. Soon, the things they brought would go to different directions of the world. Under the dark sky, a dream stumbled and fell to the ground. Ning Yi knows that countless people will grow old in this dream, people will suffer, bleed, and sacrifice their lives in it, people will be exhausted, dazed, and speechless.
But apart from moving forward, what other way is there
…
Under the illumination of the lights, the carriage passed through the streets of the city and went to the blurred distance. In the sky, the Milky Way was flowing.
For the small things under the sky, Xinghe's pace never misses, and in the blink of an eye, the night has passed. In the early morning of July 24, in a corner of the vast land, Wanyan Qingjue heard the order to gather.
He and a famous Jurchen general and elite went out of the barracks, were driven by the Huaxia army, gathered in the square, and then the Huaxia army put them in shackles.
"It's time to hit the road."
The officer of the Huaxia Army said so.
Wanyan Qingjue knew that they would become part of the Huaxia Army's Chengdu prisoners...
