Chapter 2088 Selling the Country and Seeking Glory (the Stewed White Water Chicken Is Still Delicious)
In this way, Fangzheng and others returned to the imperial capital following the annihilation of all the high-level officials on Anning Road.
Chelsea also wrote a letter about what she had seen and heard this time, and then asked Main to give it to Najta. Although she herself can't go back to attack at night, it doesn't violate the rules.
But the current imperial capital is not peaceful, and the reason... is also very simple.
That is, a guy named "Decapitated Zank" appeared in the outer city.
He also seems to be the owner of Teigu, wandering the streets every night to kill, and his way of killing is to behead, so he was given this nickname. Although it is said that the empire has indeed organized hunter troops, they don't care about Zanke's behavior in the outer city.
Of course, after all, the nobles are more concerned about their own safety, and it doesn't matter to them how many civilians outside die. What's more, in this way, they can also blame the assassins for the deterioration of law and order in the outer city, saying that it was these assassins who caused the deterioration of law and order in the outer city, and this happened.
If it was a night attack, there might be some problems, but for Fangzheng, this is not painful at all.
They can do whatever they want, and what other people think do their shit?
But for someone, this is a good trial.
"Are you ready? Chitong?"
"..."
Facing Fangzheng's question, Chitong nodded. When everyone came back from Anning Road, the cemetery-like aura of death around Chitong had disappeared, and she didn't continue to sharpen the wooden sword anymore. The whole person became the same as before, but Fangzheng knew that this did not mean that Chitong's swordsmanship practice had failed.
"Then, today is your first mission, you know that beheaded Zanke who haunts the imperial capital, kill him."
As he spoke, Fang Zheng picked up Cun Yu and handed it over.
"You know what to do."
"clear."
Chitong took Murasame and looked at Fangzheng.
"I'll get the job done."
For the assassins, it is not difficult to find the one who beheaded Zanke. Now the imperial capital has become their territory, especially at night, the guy like Zanke who wanders around the streets looking for prey is almost killed by the assassins. They noticed their whereabouts, and then Fang Zheng arranged for Chi Tong to take charge of the sniping, while he took Ma Yin and Chelsea to a high place to watch the battlefield.
"Having said that, is the sword technique you taught Chitong really useful?"
Looking at Chi Tong who was walking on the street without saying a word, Ma Yin asked suspiciously. In her impression, skills need to be practiced. Like during the night attack, Chitong would go to the training ground behind for training every day. But at Fangzheng's place, Ma Yin has never seen Chitong practice swords, she just holds a piece of wood and cuts wooden swords there every day.
Then, after Ma Yin returned from the night raid, Chi Tong went to Fang Zheng and said that she had learned it, and Fang Zheng nodded and agreed to let her go on the mission without even checking.
This gave Ma Yin such a weird feeling that she didn't know what to say.
"Don't worry, I believe she has really learned, this is a feeling."
"...Why don't I feel this way?"
"This is normal, after all, this is a relatively nervous thing."
Regarding Ma Yin's muttering, Fang Zheng also burst out laughing. In fact, it is only natural that Ma Yin did not understand. In the world before Fang Zheng, it was easy to see the level of martial arts of the Jin Yong and Huang Yi families, and they really needed to practice hard . It's just that Jin Yong's style pays more attention to skills, while Huang Yi's martial arts pays more attention to artistic conception.
For example, looking at the moon in the well water one day, I suddenly had the inspiration to create a set of knife techniques that coincide with the philosophy of nature, heaven and earth.
But in comparison, the martial arts of the Gulong family is very neurotic. If the martial arts of the Huang Yi family is to understand nature, then the Gulong family is a bit digging into oneself and then digging into a mentally ill call.
For example, something like "Love is always easier to accept than hate, but he has to hate!" or "Because you want to die more than others, of course you can't kill people." and so on.
To put it bluntly, those who practice Gu Long's martial arts are generally philosophers. Of course, philosophers end up either committing suicide or being killed by suicide.
After all, eight out of ten in the philosophy department of the university jumped off the building, and the remaining two attempted to jump off the building.
Take sword practice as an example. If Chitong is learning Jin Yong's swordsmanship, then she must first demonstrate it in front of Fang Zheng, and then ask Fang Zheng for advice.
And if it was the Huang Yi family, then Chitong would fight against Fangzheng, and then taste whether his understanding of this sword technique is thorough during the fight.
But for the ancient dragon system, that's how it is.
Chitong: "I understand."
Fangzheng: "Understood?"
Chitong: "Understood."
Fangzheng: "Even if you say you understand, then you understand."
OK, over.
If you put this thing outside for people to see, it will be thought that two psychopaths are talking.
"Speaking of which, I don't know why you joined the Revolutionary Army. Anyway, you are idle, why don't you tell me?"
It's boring for the three of us to blow the cold wind here at night, so Fangzheng spoke up, and upon hearing Fangzheng's words, Ma Yin gave him a glare. Although Fangzheng seemed to be just asking ordinary questions, he could still hear the meaning of "tell me what's unhappy to make everyone happy" in his tone.
But it’s okay to be unhappy, Ma Yin still spoke.
"I was born in the border area of the west, and I was a mixed-race child with a foreign race. I was always discriminated against in the city, and no one recognized me. It was a miserable childhood, but the revolutionary army also concluded a contract with the foreign race in the west. Once the covenant is signed, as long as a new country is established, the two countries will establish diplomatic relations. The differences between countries will no longer exist, and in that case, no child will suffer the same situation as me..."
Having said this, Ma Yin clenched her fists.
"I will not subject anyone to discrimination like mine again!"
Hearing Ma Yin's words, Fang Zheng frowned.
"The covenant between the revolutionary army and the foreign nations in the west? What kind of covenant?"
This time, it was Chelsea who answered Fang Zheng's question.
"To put it simply, the revolutionary army promised to return the land of foreign nations occupied by the empire after seizing power."
“…………………”
Facing Chelsea's answer, Fangzheng was silent for a moment.
"In other words, at the price of ceding the empire's territory, the revolutionary army asked foreign forces to send troops to invade the empire?"
"Huh? What are you talking about? That was originally the land of a foreign nation!"
Ma Yin suddenly yelled in displeasure, but Fang Zheng just glanced at her.
"But it's occupied by the Empire, right?"
"Yes, the empire has occupied the lands of those foreign nations, and it is precisely because of this that we are constantly fighting against foreign nations, and people of mixed race like me are discriminated against..."
"If the covenant is really implemented, are you sure the discrimination will not become more serious?"
"……………what do you mean?"
Hearing this, Ma Yin froze for a moment, then looked at Fangzheng.
"It's very simple. As you said, the border people's discrimination against other races is related to war. Discrimination and abuse. But at least the empire has gained actual territory, which will also give the residents on the border a feeling of 'sacrifice is not in vain'. But now... you say that the Revolutionary Army will swipe the border children Return the land bought by the relatives of the people with their blood to the foreign people? Do you think they can accept it?"
"This...I...this..."
"Moreover, this covenant also means that the revolutionary army can't fight against the empire on its own, and can only draw foreign aid. Then if the revolutionary army succeeds in seizing power, then those foreign nations can proudly say in front of the imperial people, 'If it weren't for us Help, you have no way to overthrow that murderous emperor', what do you make the imperial people think? When the imperial people see those foreign nations arrogantly posing in front of themselves as saviors, you think they will accept it ?Instead of discriminating against those mixed races more? Venting all your resentment and anger on them?"
“……………………”
Facing Fangzheng's question, Ma Yin was stunned. She had never thought about this issue, but now that Fangzheng mentioned it, she seemed to feel that the matter was not as simple as she thought. According to Fangzheng's statement, then the revolution After the army seized power, instead of getting better, the situation of those mixed-race children would get worse?
"But, but the Revolutionary Army can issue laws to protect those mixed races from being discriminated against..."
"If the revolutionary army seizes power, then they are the rulers of the empire, and mixed-race people are 'outsiders' in the eyes of the imperial people, so you mean, let the imperial regime help foreigners deal with their own citizens? Do you think the revolutionary army The regime is too stable when you want to overthrow it again?"
"Uh……………"
Ma Yin opened her mouth, but didn't know what to say, while Chelsea patted Ma Yin's shoulder, narrowed her eyes, and looked at Fang Zheng thoughtfully.
"So you think the Revolutionary Army's approach is wrong?"
"Of course, I don't know much about the Revolutionary Army, but from the current point of view, not cooperating with the Revolutionary Army is really a correct choice. No matter what the reason is, Li Tongwai is the most unacceptable and tolerant."
Just like Wu Sangui opened Shanhaiguan, although there are many theories in history, some say it was for Chen Yuanyuan, some said it was to deal with Li Zicheng, some said it was the Ming Dynasty who was sorry for Wu Sangui, but in any case, no matter what purpose Wu Sangui had, what motive, and Or what background, he was nailed to the traitor's pillar of shame, and never thought of getting down again.
The same is true for the Revolutionary Army, ceding their own territory to obtain foreign troops to assist in seizing power, this is simply a naked act of treason, so it seems that the empire's suppression of them is really right.
"If I were the leader of the Revolutionary Army, I wouldn't send Ma Yin here to be a killer. If you want to ease the situation between the half-breeds and the imperial people in the country, the best way is to praise the half-breeds like Ma Yin. Let her participate in the frontal war, and then publicize to the public that half-bloods are victims of the oppression of the imperial regime just like ordinary imperial people, and right now, half-races are also fighting for the future of the empire. It’s better to write some more articles about how miserable their life experience is to gain sympathy, then you can get the support of most imperial people, instead of directly selling the country and seeking glory as it is now... It seems that the IQ of the leaders of the revolutionary army is also Very limited."
"Woo... um... what you said is indeed a good way..."
Hearing this, Chelsea frowned and thought about it, and even Ma Yin's eyes flickered listening. Indeed, if this is the case, then maybe it can really solve the problem between the half-breed and the imperial people.
"So………"
"It's useless, it's a done deal now, the revolutionary army won't be able to get off when they board the traitorous ship, unless they have the guts to tear up the treaty with a foreign nation and give up ceding the territory, maybe there is still salvation, but do you think those revolutionaries Will the idiots in the army give up important reinforcements for a bunch of half-breeds?"
Chelsea hesitated for a moment, but finally said nothing, and Ma Yin lowered her head in disappointment. She originally joined the Revolutionary Army because she heard about the alliance between the Revolutionary Army and Western nations. At first, Ma Yin expected that this would solve the current situation. Now it seems that this alliance is not only not a good thing, but a bad thing... ...
"Okay, let's not talk."
Fangzheng waved his hands and looked forward.
"The target of Chitong appeared."
