Chapter 996 Children and the Elderly (Part 2)
The convoy entered the city in the last ray of skylight at dusk, and in the dim light that gradually approached the night, headed towards a yard with blue walls and gray tiles on the east side of the city.
The first group of people brought from Lao Niu Tou was 14, most of whom were core department staff members who followed Chen Shanjun and others in the turmoil and survived. Eight of them were originally Chinese soldiers, while the other six were staff members who were promoted after Juntian. There were guards who looked reckless, and there were young orders who followed Chen Shanjun and others to serve tea and water. Their positions were not necessarily large, but they were rescued and brought in after being rescued.
The fourteen people were arranged in this two-entry courtyard, and the soldiers in charge of the garrison announced their discipline to them: each person has a room, and they are not allowed to move around at will, and they are not allowed to talk at will... It is basically a similar form to imprisonment. However, there was not much to be criticized for the time being for the time being that the old bull had just escaped from the turbulent old bullhead.
Shortly after everyone entered the room, simple meals were delivered. After dinner, the night in Chengdu was quiet, and some were confused and anxious by the people locked up in the room. It was not clear what the Chinese army would do about them. Li Ximing checked the arrangement of the room over and over again, listened carefully to the outside world, and sighed, and made a pot of tea for himself. Chen Shanjun, who was next door, just sat quietly.
Around the hour of the Hai Dynasty, I heard footsteps coming in from outside, and about seven or eight people looked like they were leading the way to Chen Shanjun's door and knocked on the door. Chen Shanjun opened the door and saw Ning Yi wearing a black military coat standing outside, whispering something to the person next to me, and then waved to let them leave.
"Mr. Ning..." Chen Shanjun looked at him and saluted slowly. Ning Yi also replied to the Israeli military salute: "You look much older." His eyes were calm, without accusation, without trial, nor with the pride of "I have said it long ago". He seemed solemn in peace. Chen Shanjun opened his mouth and could not 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 decorated, but there were tables and chairs, hot water, tea cups, tea leaves and other things. Ning Yi walked into the room and sat down, flipped up the tea cup, and started making tea. He opened his mouth straight in the sound of the collision of porcelain.
"The isolation of you will not be too long. I arranged for Chen Zhusheng and the others to come and make the first round of transcripts for you, mainly to avoid the criminals who bully men and dominate women and commit bloody crimes among the people today. Moreover, I hope to be as objective as possible for the first time in this old Niuto incident. You are all from the center of the turmoil and have a different view on things, but if you have a conscious discussion, this concept will be similar..."
Ning Yi said, putting the big porcelain cup in front of Chen Shanjun. Chen Shanjun was still a little confused when he heard it: "Tell me..."
"After success, we need to review, and after failure, we need to learn a lesson, so that we will not be considered to have nothing."
"Old bullhead..." Chen Shanjun said verbally, then slowly pushed the stool beside him and knelt down, "I, I am the biggest criminal..."
Ning Yi crossed his fingers on the table and sighed, not helping the nearly white-haired loser in front of him: "But Lao Chen... what's the use of kneeling me..."
The sigh scattered in the air, and the room was quiet. Tears flowed down from Chen Shanjun's eyes, falling to the ground with a slight slight squiggle.
Ning Yi was silent for a long time before looking out the window and spoke: "There are two circuit court teams who received the order today and have already passed to the old bullhead. They will also record the guilty perpetrators who will catch the next time. In the meantime, what they think of the old bullhead and your opinion will be recorded. If you do something bad for your own selfish desires, you will be dealt with together and will not tolerate it, so you can think clearly about what to say next..."
He paused: "But outside of this, I don't know how to evaluate it for the adventure you've been on the old bullhead."
"Of course it's guilty." Chen Shanjun slowly stood up with a stool. When he said this, his tone was firm, "It was me who encouraged them to go to the old bullhead together, it was me who used the wrong method, it was me who killed so many people. Since it was my decision, I was of course guilty-"
"You used the wrong method..." Ning Yi looked at him, "Where was the mistake?"
"Old bullhead... is too much wrong, I...I...if..." Speaking of this, Chen Shanjun shook his head in pain, as if he wanted to express it simply and clearly, but he could not make an accurate summary for a while.
"Old Chen, don't have to tell me today." Ning Yi said, "I will send Chen Zhusheng and others to record your testimony as soon as possible and what happened to the old bullhead. In addition to you fourteen, there will be a large number of testimony to be recorded. Whether it is a guilty person or an innocent person, I hope someone can summarize what happened to the old bullhead and what you did wrong in the future. And on your side, Lao Chen's view will have a long time to wait for you to think about it and summarize it slowly..."
“I shouldn’t be alive…”
"You may not be able to 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 do something damn for your own selfish desires, you should shoot you and I will shoot you immediately! But at the same time, Chen Shanjun, is the world's Datong wrong? Is everyone's equality wrong? If you fail once, do you think these ideas are wrong?"
"..." Chen Shanjun shook his head, "No, these ideas can't be wrong."
"Yes, these ideas are not wrong. What is the old bullhead wrong? If you fail to get things done, the wrong one is naturally the method." Ning Yi said, "Before you do things, I have reminded you of long-term and short-term interests. The driving force for all actions in this world is demand. Needs generate benefits. A person wants to have dinner today and want to go out to play tomorrow. Within a year, he wants to meet the phased needs. In the biggest concept, everyone wants to be harmonious in the world..."
"But long-term interests and short-term interests cannot be completely unified. A person who lives by the water wants to eat or play today. After half a year, floods will destroy his home, so he frees up his time today to build the river bank. If the world is not peaceful and there are problems with the administration, his daily life will also be affected. Some people will study and become officials. If you want to do something with long-term interests, it will inevitably damage your short-term interests, so everyone will balance their expenses on something..."
"Old Niutao started to attack landlords to achieve fairness in the land. You said that the means of production were to achieve fairness, but everyone in the middle had great satisfaction. After a few months, they would not be so satisfied no matter what they did. This huge gap would make people worse. Either they began to become lazy people, or they tried their best to find ways to get the same huge short-term benefits, such as using power for personal gain. The acquisition of short-term benefits cannot last for a long time, and the medium-term interests were blank, and then promised a long-term benefit that could be realized for a hundred or decades, so he collapsed..."
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 studying things first, try to expand productivity first, so that one person can use it to several or even dozens of people, and try to make the product rich and have enough food and clothing to know honor and disgrace... Just like some of the landlords we have seen, the proverbs of poor and rich planning to grow a conscience, let everyone have a little more conscience after they are satisfied..."
Chen Shanjun shook his head: "But, such a person..."
"You want to say they are not really kind." Ning Yi sneered, "But where are there really kind people? Chen Shanjun, humans are animals! People have their own habits and change differently under different environments and rules. Perhaps they can become better in some environments, and what we pursue is this better. Under some rules, under the premise, people can be more equal, so we pursue more equality. All things have spirits, but the world is not kind. Old Chen, no one can truly get rid of their own temperament. The reason why you choose to pursue the big self and give up the small self is just because you regard the big self as a higher demand."
The room became quiet, and Ning Yi tapped his fingers on the table a few times: "So, Chen Shanjun, is my idea right? Can my path... be able to go through?"
Chen Shanjun raised his head and said, "You..." He saw a calm, unanswered face.
Ning Yi stood up and covered the teacup: "Your thoughts have taken away more than a thousand Chinese troops. He Wen from Jiangnan, under the banner of equalizing the wealth and poverty, has already formed a team of hundreds of thousands of people. From here, Fang La's uprising said that the law is equal and has no superiority. Going forward, there are countless uprisings, and they have shouted this slogan... If you don't summarize and summarize, the word equality will always be an invisible and intangible castle in the air. Chen Shanjun, I don't care about your life..."
Ning Yi looked at him with his eyes as if there were blazing flames and cold ice at the same time.
"I don't care about your life." He repeated, "For the fire you lit on the old bullhead, the Chinese army gave you a way out and gave you resources. More than a thousand people said more than a thousand people, many heroes who died in the Southwest War may still be alive... I have paid so much to explore this path for you, and I want to summarize its principles for future pathfinders."
He paused: "Old Chen, every change in this world will bleed. From today to Datong, it will never happen overnight. From today on, there will be countless blood flowing. The failed changes will make the blood flow white. Because it will bleed, will it not change? Because it will change, so don't care about bleeding? We must cherish every bleeding, let it teach it, and experience it. If you want to atone for your sins, if you are lucky enough to die this time, then leave me with real reflection and lessons."
"Think about it carefully these days." Ning Yi said, and turned around and walked out of the door.
...
The autumn wind blows through the courtyard in the night.
After coming out of Chen Shanjun's room, Ning Yi went to Li Ximing next door again. Ning Yi didn't need to lay too much groundwork for this Erwuzi who was arrested at the time. He roughly explained the whole arrangement and asked Li Ximing to make detailed recollections and explanations about what he saw and heard in Lao Niu Tou in the next two years, including the reasons why Lao Niu Tou would have problems, reasons for failure, etc. Since he was originally a scholar with ideas and knowledge, it was not difficult to summarize these.
But after the matter was finished, Li Ximing spoke unexpectedly, and at first he was a little scared, but then he mustered up the courage to make a decision: "Ning, Mr. Ning, I have an idea, dare... I want to ask Mr. Ning to agree."
"Hmm?" Ning Yi looked at him.
Since the words began, Li Ximing's expression gradually became calm: "Student... came to the Chinese Army because of a conversation with Li Dexin. He originally wanted to be an insider and cause some damage to the Chinese Army. However, in the past two years, under the influence of Mr. Chen, Lao Niu Tou has slowly figured out some things... Mr. Ning divided Lao Niu Tou, and now he sent someone to make records to seek experience from scratch. He has a big mind..."
"If you have something to say, don't flatter me."
"...I will make a record of Lao Niu Tou's affairs. After the record is finished, I want to go to Fuzhou, find Li Dexin, and inform the southwest of the matter. I heard that the new king has succeeded to the throne in Fuzhou, and He Wen and others have formed a fair party in Jiangnan. What we see and hear in Lao Niu Tou may be helpful to him..."
Li Ximing was originally not young, and because he had been threatened to be an undercover agent for a long time, he could not stand up at first. After saying these thoughts, his eyes became firm. Ning Yi looked at him coldly. After a while, the eyes were withdrawn. Ning Yi pressed the table and stood up.
"Then you will be given two months to leave everything you should leave, and then go back to Fuzhou and tell Li Pin everything... If you don't play tricks in the meantime, your family and dogs will be safe."
Ning Yi's indifferent language left the room. Behind him, Li Ximing, who had a slightly white hair, raised his hands and bowed deeply to Ning Yi's back.
Ning Yi left this ordinary courtyard, and a group of exhausted people in the courtyard were waiting for the next review. Soon after, the things they brought would go to different directions in the world. Under the dark sky, a dream staggered and fell to the ground. Ning Yi knew that countless people would grow old in this dream, and people would suffer, bleed, and give their lives, and people would be tired, confused, and speechless in it.
But in addition to moving forward, what kind of road is there?
...
Under the lights, the carriage passed through the streets of the city and went to the blurry distance. In the sky, the Milky Way flowed.
The steps of the galaxy never nostalgic for the tiny things under the sky. In the blink of an eye, the night passed. On the morning of July 24th, Wanyan Qingjue heard the gathering command in a corner of the vast earth.
He and a Jurchen general, the elite troops went out of the barracks, were driven away by the Chinese army, gathered in the square, and then the Chinese army put shackles on them.
“It’s time to get on the road.”
The officers of the Chinese Army said this.
