Chapter 111 Those who win the hearts of the people win the world "......"
The man in white was very helpless.
The whole thing is to put it bluntly, that is, when the fleet is blocked, unable to advance or retreat, and can only wait for death, the people below feel that it is impossible to continue like this, otherwise once the reinforcements from Coconut Harbor arrive, they will no longer have a way to live.
So several people with considerable prestige at the bottom united and prepared to connect everyone to surrender to the Tang Dynasty.
But of course, such an action will not pass, and those at the bottom will be fine, and they may not be able to die, but the middle and high-level people like middle-aged men are likely to be liquidated afterwards, so they refuse to surrender very cleanly, and are ready to carry it to the end - the bottom wants to live, the top wants to work hard, the two sides have diametrically opposite opinions, and the fire has become a matter of course.
It's just that although the middle-aged men have a high status, their number is too scarce, far less than the number of lower-level officers and soldiers, so after the fire merger, the middle and high-level leaders were defeated, and they could only occupy a favorable position and support them to the death, and at the same time learned the news that the man in white woke up, and immediately sent someone to the man in white to ask him to go out and administer justice.
"What a nuisance."
The man in white is very distressed now, originally this kind of thing is not his turn to uphold justice, after all, he is a new leader, ranking last in the ranking of the leaders of the major forces, and his prestige is far inferior to the rest of the leaders, but when the warship he was riding on just now hit a mine, they happened to have a meeting on the warship, so they ......
Although not all the leaders were killed or missing, at the moment of the thunder, everyone was thrown high and then fell, plus the huge shock wave generated by the explosion of the mine, and so on, almost half of the major leaders died, even if they were lucky not to die, they were all seriously injured, and they were all unconscious.
As a result, he was the least injured, and at the same time, he became the highest-ranking person in the fleet who was still awake - according to the rules of the alliance, the subordinates must strictly obey the orders of the superiors, so now the man in white has become the de facto commander of the fleet. "......"
The legs of the man in white have been fixed at this time, but his spirit is still a little sluggish, and he heard the words slowly: "But now in addition to surrendering, do you think we have any way out?"
” "We still have so many ships and cannons, we can fight with the defenders of Coconut Harbor."
The middle-aged man didn't hear the meaning of the man in white's words, but roared excitedly: "We still have a lot of shells, if all of them are poured into that strange boat, it is still possible to destroy them, and as long as there is no such small boat, with our strength, we can completely rush to Coconut Harbor, and with the allies we have planted inside Coconut Harbor, we can definitely take Coconut Harbor." ” "It's a way, indeed."
The man in white sighed and asked again: "Did you just say that everyone at the bottom advocated surrender, and no one objected?"
” "Although not all, more than eighty percent of those who advocate surrender are in favor of surrender, and the remaining two percent of opponents are estimated to have been burned and dropped by now......
I don't know what medicine they all took wrong, but they have such a unified opinion......
I really don't understand, there are many people here who have a grudge against Li Zhen to destroy the country, how can they surrender and take the wrong medicine?
” "Hey, you don't understand."
The man in white sighed and didn't say anything.
As long as the ruler or conqueror can treat them fairly and make the people in the conquered places live a better life than before, then not many people will rebel - the real rebels are those nobles, the country is destroyed, they will become commoners, power and status have left them, and they may even face hunting and killing in the future, they can't accept this reality, They want to restore their former glory, and the rebellion has become their only way out, plus their previous status is very high, and they have great prestige in the local area, with his prestige, it is still easy to recruit troops.
For example, the Great Qin Dynasty, the Great Qin Dynasty is famous, sweeping the six countries and all directions together, but Qin Shi Huang has been dead for less than three years, isn't it destroyed by the nobles of the dead country - of course, this is also the reason why the laws of the Qin Dynasty are too strict, and the people are almost not regarded as human beings.
In fact, no matter where it is, whether it is the Tang Dynasty or the Great Food, whether it is Tianzhu or Europe, in fact, the aspirations of the people at the bottom are very simple, and they are also very humble, that is, to live, if they can live well on the basis of living, it is simply a great happiness, and as long as there is a monarch to do this, it is a sign of the coming of prosperity.
Unfortunately, this is easy to say, but how difficult is it to do?
After all, the conqueror and the vanquished are not the same people, both in terms of living habits and religious beliefs, and wanting a bowl of water means that the conqueror has to accept the culture and customs of the conquered land - they are conquerors, so why should they accept the culture of the conquered land?
Shouldn't it be the conquered places that want to integrate into their own civilization?
So with this idea, the two sides have different cultures, different beliefs, different customs, and naturally there will be conflicts, as rulers, of course, they have to favor their own people, even if the conflict is calmed down, unfair treatment will make the contradictions between the two sides deeper and deeper - as vanquished, they are terrified in their hearts, and they are very inferior in their hearts, and now they are treated like this, and there is naturally resentment in their hearts, and after accumulating over time, war is inevitable.
Of course, this is only the main reason, and there are also some conquerors who put their position too high, and the people of the conquered land are regarded as pigs and dogs, and can be killed at will, so that the resistance of the people becomes a matter of course.
For example, the Great Yuan Dynasty almost did not treat Han people as human beings, and even divided people into four ranks, and as the largest number of Han people, they were also classified as the lowest class, which could be wantonly slaughtered and abused.
In this way, the Han people naturally could not accept it, so there was an uprising of the Red Turban Army at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, and Zhu Yuanzhang finally won the world and expelled the Mongols back to the grassland.
In addition to the far greater Yuan Dynasty, there was also the Five Hu Chaohua period, the Han people were even more difficult to make a living, and even called two-legged sheep, which could be cooked and eaten as food, but it was a pity that the southern Han court was too cowardly and did not dare to go north to the Central Plains, resulting in the Han people in the north being almost wiped out, and finally Yang Jian expelled the aliens and unified the troubled times, but even so, there were no more purebred Han people in the north.
