rebirth [rebirth]

Just now Rong Jingxuan said a word heavily into his heart.

A good bird chooses a good tree to live in, and a good talent chooses a virtuous master to work.

If we say how much Sun Zhao and Chen Shengzhi expected to fight the world, how disappointed they are now.

What he did after he became emperor was really embarrassing for the word good master.

Perhaps for Chen Shengzhi, the throne came too easily and too quickly, but it is easy to get the dragon chair, but it is difficult to keep the dragon chair.

Da Chu's foundation of more than 200 years was ruined only because of Emperor Min's chaos in government. No matter how hard Rong Jingxuan worked, he could not turn the tide, so he had no choice but to watch the mountains and rivers shattered.

Sun Zhao participated in the whole process and saw it more clearly than ordinary people.

Sun Zhao felt that Chen Shengzhi did not win because of the people's hearts, and Rong Jingxuan did not lose because of the people's hearts.

Everything is just God's will.

The right time, place and people are the most important thing. The right place comes after the right time, and the last place is the harmony of people.

The former prince Rong Jingxuan didn't get the right time, nor did he have the right place, but from Sun Zhao's point of view, he still has people to make peace with.

The world-renowned master Gu Guli died in the hall because of him, Marquis Wu Ping also died because he refused to submit to Chen Shengzhi, Xie Huaixin even refused to be the prime minister and became the minister of Honglu Temple, and many ministers were dissatisfied with Chen Sheng He resigned because of his decree.

Rong Jingxuan, as a former crown prince and last emperor of the former dynasty, won the hearts of the people.

No, maybe he is not the only one who wins the hearts of the people, but also the benevolent government of Da Chu Rong's 260 years.

The agricultural tax can no longer be reduced, the scientific research is treated equally, the decree to encourage small traders, and the powerful and heroic army.

The Rong family of Da Chu protected the lives of the people, gave them to live and work in peace and contentment, and gave them prosperity and joy.

This deep-rooted concept is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Even if the surname is now Da Chen, the people occasionally chat and casually say, "Isn't this year the 37th year of Yongyan?"

Emperor Min has been in power for 37 years. He is unpopular, but his prince is deeply loved by the people.

It's one thing to just love it, but another thing to be unable to live and want to live on.

The common people are not scholars, they do not have the awareness that "everyone in life has died since ancient times, and keep their loyal hearts according to history".Their highest thought is that the family is safe, that they have food and clothing, and that is enough.

The agricultural tax research and government orders have not changed. Emperor Min took away the firearms battalion and messed up the most heroic army all at once.He issued so many fatuous and unreasonable government orders in successive natural disasters, which finally angered the people.

Otherwise, why did he be the emperor for 35 years in peace and stability, and no one rebelled until he was nearly forty years old?

It was only a matter of time.

At this moment, Sun Zhao thought too much.

He was asking himself, is this game worth the gamble?

But there is no answer for a long time. On the one hand, the old master and loyalty, on the other hand, are the bright master and Yang Zhi. It is not something that can be decided overnight by anyone.

Rong Jingxuan did not give him more time to think.

He just said indifferently: "General Sun, even if our soldiers and horses kill each other, and I win in the end and let you escape, do you think... Chen Shengzhi will keep you alive?"

"Let me put it another way, General Sun, follow me, no one will kill you except on the battlefield, including myself."

Rong Jingxuan's guarantee undoubtedly gave Sun Zhao great courage. He finally stopped hesitating and walked out of the Wengcheng with a long knife in his hand.

Behind him, the soldiers watched him silently, and no one spoke out against it.

What Rong Jingxuan said was for Sun Zhao, so why didn't he say it for them?

They followed Chen Shengzhi through life and death, and conquered Dachu Mountains and Rivers. However, when they became famous, they did not have fresh clothes and angry horses, they did not become kings and nobles, they did not return to their hometown with honor, and they did not have peace and prosperity.They still have to stay in their hometown, guarding a group of "captives" like wild wolves.

Before, they were mediocre in the barracks every day. After training, they went back to the barracks to sleep. Their lives were boring. They could not return to their homes, and they could not plant fields.

This is too far from the previous camp.

Why is there a city where there is a barracks?That's because soldiers are people too, they have families, they have parents and brothers, wives and children, and they have to support their families.Even military status is not inferior.

Da Chu once respected the soldiers and gave them a lot of preferential treatment. After the soldiers practiced, they could go home every now and then. They could help their wives and children take care of the farmland, and they could send their sons to military schools. .

There is hope for Da Chu as a soldier.

As long as the military exploits are good, the higher the salary, the better. When you reach the general banner of the fifth rank, you already enjoy the same salary as the civil servants of the fifth rank.

Da Chu attaches equal importance to civil and military affairs, and his salary is also treated equally.

Even if you don't know a single word, you can still be respected as much as Jinshi who have studied hard for decades by relying on military merits.

But now something has changed.

Chen Shengzhi was born as a farmer, but he did not treat farmers as human beings when he became emperor.He relied on his soldiers to conquer the world, but now he has not fulfilled a single promise.

The ones he trusts the most now are those Zhongshu orders from the Zhongshu Province.

Unbelievable, but it seems to be traceable.

He couldn't draft government orders himself, couldn't understand ministers' memorials, and he couldn't even write his own name well. If there was no Zhongshu order, the big Chen under his control would be in chaos.

The soldiers didn't understand those political tricks, they only knew that their hard work was in vain, not to mention being promoted to a noble, at least one person would be rewarded with some money, but now it's all in vain.

If they could tell Rong Jingxuan about their thoughts, he would be happy to teach everyone a lesson.

Although Chen Shengzhi's current approach is not popular, there is nothing wrong with it.

Under the premise that the national treasury is empty, raising the agricultural tax may not be what Chen Shengzhi wants.In the case where the decree cannot be communicated, it is only natural to favor the written decree.

But he was off balance.

Why does Da Chu pay equal attention to civil and military affairs?Just to balance the two words.

There are no absolute enemies or absolute friends in politics. Only balance is the eternal topic.

Once the balance is broken, just like Emperor Min unconditionally favoring the ruler of heaven, the destruction of the country is the ultimate end.

Rong Jingxuan didn't know how the soldiers in front of him felt, he only knew that he had persuaded Sun Zhao, and he was standing face to face with concentration, ready to attack at any time.

Although he is young, he is very calm.

After all, he had faced life and death twice.

If he is not calm and indifferent by this time, he will not be able to re-establish Da Chu even if he is reborn a hundred times.

People must learn to constantly summarize the past, and then change the future step by step.

He just looked at Sun Zhao indifferently, his gaze as calm as water, and his demeanor as magnificent as a flower.

Suddenly a gust of wind blew up a leaf on the ground. The leaf whirled twice in the air and flew past the two of them.

It was Sun Zhao who moved first.

Just look at him swiping his long knife, and the blade with a cold light came through the air, directly attacking Rong Jingxuan's eyes.

The leaves were like falling petals, cut off from the middle, and fell to the ground.

Rong Jingxuan exerted force on his waist, and he dodged backwards. The long sword in his hand was as fast as lightning, and he blocked Sun Zhao's first attack with a backhand.

Sun Zhao missed the blow, and with a shake of his shoulder, he stepped on the Moon Shadow Step and floated to the left of Rong Jingxuan.

Rong Jingxuan tapped his feet, and jumped straight up, trying to hit Sun Zhao's back.

But Sun Zhao was a great general after all, how could he be hit by this simple blow, he danced a silver light with his backhand, but he blocked Rong Jingxuan's backhand with his backhand in an extremely awkward posture.

Just hearing a "bang", the figures of the two seemed to touch each other lightly, and then bounced out of each other.

Just now Rong Jingxuan used ten times ten strength, Sun Zhao was stabbed far away by him, and he walked ten steps before stopping and turning around quickly.

But Rong Jingxuan just took two small steps back, then stood with his hands behind his back and smiled without saying a word.

Sun Zhao sighed silently.

Rong Jingxuan's martial arts are even more superb than those in the Jianghu. Obviously, they were taught by masters from an early age, which is not the same as him who became a monk halfway through.

Just now Rong Jingxuan still gave him face, he didn't use his inner strength, otherwise he would be injured and vomit blood, how could he be indifferent now.

Although the soldiers couldn't understand the fierce battle at that moment, they could also see the clue from the number of steps they took back.Just for a moment, the soldiers brought by Rong Jingxuan all showed joyful expressions, and the soldiers guarding the camp were not too sad.

Sun Zhao smiled wryly, and walked back slowly: "Young master is superb in martial arts, I am no match for you."

Rong Jingxuan clasped his fists in salute: "I have accepted."

With Sun Zhao's words, he had already admitted defeat, both openly and secretly.

Now that he has conceded defeat, the battle to attack the camp is over.

Rong Jingxuan walked over and laughed three times, stretched out his hand to Sun Zhao and said, "General Sun, what Xuan said today will never be forgotten in the future."

After the war, Rong Jingxuan asked Ning Yuanshi and Zhong Qi to be responsible for burying the soldiers who died for the country.

No matter who they die for, in Rong Jingxuan's view, it makes no difference.

Then he asked Sun Zhao to rearrange the defenders and told them that they had a new master.

The original words of Rong Jingxuan are as follows: "Xuan swears by the ancestors of the Rong family that he will return to the country one day. All soldiers can return to their agricultural registration, or they can be transferred back to their hometowns to serve as city soldiers. If you don't want to go to the city again On the battlefield, report to the captain directly, and you can stay in the Guangqing camp to cultivate and farm the fields."

This sentence undoubtedly gave the soldiers hope and thoughts.

Some people serve as soldiers to survive, some people serve as soldiers to stand out from others, some people serve as soldiers to defend their country, and some people serve as soldiers to be a great hero.

No matter what the reason is, those who want to be soldiers can continue to be soldiers, and Rong Jingxuan who doesn't want to be soldiers doesn't force it.

After all, he used to belong to the royal family of Da Chu, he was a prince, and he was also an emperor.His words are undoubtedly golden words, and he swore by the ancestors of the Rong family, many soldiers directly accepted him without any resistance.

Some even seemed elated that they finally had the chance to go home.

After calming down the soldiers guarding the camp, Rong Jingxuan and Xie Mingze entered the camp together. Their trip was to visit those old soldiers of the Guangqing camp who were captured by Chen Shengzhi.

This group of 5000 infantry has a special title in the history books of later generations.

They are known as wolf and tiger guards in history.
