When Xiao Ruxun said this, Ma Gui opened his mouth and stammered for a long time, unable to say a word.
"We can't continue to ignore them! We can't! The Daming Dynasty has come to this point. For the selfish desires of a few merchants, we have to sacrifice hundreds of thousands of soldiers and hundreds of thousands of civilians to save it. What kind of cancer are these merchants?
Today, just a few merchants could cause such a huge war for a share of business. They didn't care about the lives of more than a hundred thousand soldiers and millions of civilians. In the future, they would dare to give away billions of people in the country for money! If we don't get rid of these tumors, can the Daming Dynasty still be saved?! "
Ma Gui couldn't say a word.
Up until now, evildoers had not been too strong or too capable by themselves. There were also accomplices who contributed to their success. There were also irrelevant people who ignored them and good people who condoned them. In fact, if one did not stop them and only watched on indifferently, no matter how anxious or how much they thought about it, they would only be accomplices.
What was more tragic was that such accomplices were not even in the eyes of the real culprits. When the time came, they would still meet with tragedy.
In times of chaos, there were many such accomplices, and they were the ones who died the most.
Mei Guozhen's eyes lit up. He held onto Xiao Ruxun's hand tightly.
"Ji Xin, have you really told Her Majesty about this? Her Majesty is also prepared? Is she going to make a move on these rats? "
Xiao Ruxun lowered his head to look at Mei Guozhen and nodded.
"Yes, Her Majesty is prepared. This time, it won't be just us. The Jin Merchants are powerful and have been running amok for a long time. They have already caused dissatisfaction among the big merchant groups in the country. Although they are also cancer, we have to deal with them one by one.
This time, we can make use of them. Let them swarm up and devour Jin Shang's corpses. Then, we will use a little trick and throw out bait to make them split up. We will let one family dominate and the rest will not be satisfied. Then, we will let them fight for it. In the future, when they bite each other, we will find an opportunity to defeat them one by one. "
Ma Gui hurriedly said, "How can things go so smoothly? They aren't fools!"
"Human desires are endless. Even if it's a father, a son, or a brother, isn't there a lot of people who would kill each other for the sake of benefits? What's more, they were a group of people who only cared about profit. Some bait, even if they knew it was poisonous, would still cause countless people to go crazy over it.
When that time comes, it won't be a matter of whether we can make them fight against each other, but they will make themselves go crazy. For the visible benefits, for the benefits they can eat, they will do anything. Even if they know it's poison, they will still eat it. "
Mei Guozhen pulled Xiao Ruxun's hand.
"Even so, we can't advance recklessly! Rome wasn't built in a day. This tumor isn't something that can be removed in one day! "
Xiao Ruxun nodded and said, "Don't worry, Duke Mei. Don't worry, I will remember that I will not be impatient and advance rashly. The current Emperor is wise and wise, and he will not be impatient and advance rashly. I am a great general, and the way of using troops is very similar to the way of getting rid of treacherous officials. I will not be reckless."
"Good, good, that's good. That's great. The hundreds of thousands of souls in Shanxi of Datong … Finally, someone can avenge them …"
Mei Guozhen held Xiao Ruxun's hands tightly and glared angrily at him. His eyes were bloodshot, and he kept expressing the bone-deep hatred in his heart.
Ma Gui, who was watching from the side, suddenly felt that Xiao Ruxun was a little unfamiliar.
After not seeing him for more than three years, Xiao Ruxun had changed a lot. He was different from the righteous great general who led troops to attack North Korea. At that time, Xiao Ruxun did not understand these principles. These competing philosophies were clearly the way of balance. Who needed the way of balance? It was something that only emperors and powerful ministers needed.
Ma Gui had never seen or come into contact with this kind of high-end politics. He could not use it and did not need it. However, Xiao Ruxun should not need it either. How did he learn it?
For a great general with tens of thousands of troops, this kind of politics was very dangerous. If he used it well, he could go down in history. If he did not use it well, his reputation would be ruined. Not to mention that he was facing those old monsters who were well-versed in the way of politics.
Those old monsters who had suppressed the generals for more than a hundred years had been constantly on guard against the generals and the army. They did not allow the emperor to have contact with the generals and the emperor to control the army. They separated the imperial power from the military power and greatly weakened the imperial power. Thus, the group of civil officials could control the military and politics of the entire Daming Dynasty and turned the emperor into a mascot.
And now, a great general with tens of thousands of troops had a relationship with the ambitious emperor. How did they do it?
How did they manage to plan this?
How did they find a gap in the big net woven by the group of civil officials and work together?
What on earth would they do? What kind of changes would they bring to the Daming Dynasty?
If what Ma Gui was thinking was if, at this moment, Xiao Ruxun used his power to mobilize more than 200,000 troops to attack the civil officials and raise the flag of the Qing Dynasty, with his prestige and the name of the emperor, the whole north would be conquered by Xiao Ruxun before they could resist.
To put it bluntly, the civil officials were powerful because they grasped the rules, and the rules were made by them. When they made the rules and forced everyone to follow them, they were naturally invincible and powerful. However, once there was an external factor that exceeded the rules … ….
How powerful were the civil officials of the Great Song Dynasty …
If the rules were completely shattered and a new set of rules were made, as long as there was enough military power, it would become a fact before they could react. Without enough military support, they would collapse under the pressure of absolute power.
If they didn't want to talk, they would use violence to rob and kill. They didn't want to talk and didn't want to give them a chance to talk. They just wanted to destroy them. If they submitted, they would live. If they didn't submit, they would kill. With such a pure and violent mind, they would tear everything apart.
In the face of such cruel means, the group of civil officials was actually very weak. They couldn't do anything.
But how many people would die if they did that?
Ma Gui couldn't help but shiver.
He looked at Xiao Ruxun, whose eyes were emitting a cold light.
In the end, time had turned that little brother of his into a ferocious beast. Right now, this ferocious beast had set its sights on those rich fellows, and those fellows might not even know that they were being targeted.
This was the most terrifying thing!
"But let's not talk about this for now. Big Brother Ma, Duke Mei, your situation is very bad. Although I want to help you conceal it and seal off the news, too many people have seen it. With so many people, there's no way I can keep it a secret. Whether it's the soldiers or the commoners, they can't do anything because there are too many people, but the two of you are too big of a target …"
Xiao Ruxun changed the topic to a more realistic one that they had to face. Ma Gui and Mei Guozhen looked at each other and saw the determination in each other's eyes.
"When I made this decision, I didn't think about surviving. Rather, it was my dereliction of duty as the commander-in-chief of the Datong Army that caused the country to suffer such a loss. I should have died. It's a miracle that I've survived, but it's also painful. It's better to just die and fulfill my beliefs."
Ma Gui smiled.
