Chapter 45 We Love Peace
Through Mu Feng's statement, Li Yuanzhang and other Baiyue envoys couldn't help but draw a scene in their hearts.
A long time ago, about a thousand years ago, when Xia and Shang were fighting, a group of Xia people found a safe place to escape the war, and since then they lived a carefree life. Without war and disputes, it was simply a paradise.
But many years later, I saw that the outside world was still in chaos and the creatures were in trouble. Some of these people’s descendants couldn’t bear it and wanted to eliminate the war and stop the war. But the ancestors had set rules that they should not interfere in the world.
Under the laws of ancestors, these people were determined but were powerless, and could only look at the misfortunes of people from outside while thinking about ways to fight against the laws of ancestors.
The scenes of the two factions being divided and arguing with each other seem to appear in the minds of Li Yuanzhang and others.
Finally, one day, the faction that wanted to stop the war had the upper hand, and they chose to help others in the world, eliminate the war in this world, and bring peace to the world.
There is no need for Chen Yang. Mu Feng said it in detail, and Li Yuanzhang and others will figure it out by themselves!
Of course, Baiyue’s envoys are not fools, how could they believe Chen Yang and Mu Feng’s words?
They were in a state of believing or not, but for a moment they could not find any effective questioning points.
Mu Feng finished answering this question and raised his hand again.
This time, Li Yuanzhang did not raise his hand, and he felt that he should ask others to ask some questions.
A Baiyue envoy sitting on the right side of Li Yuanzhang was selected and asked, "The words of your house are all upright and beautiful, but if I look closely, your house has similarities with the words of the Seven Kingdoms today. Why is that?"
Chen Yang smiled and replied, "Everyone knows that whether it is the people of the seven kingdoms today or us, our ancestors were all people of the Xia Dynasty, and they naturally have similarities with the current writings.
After our ancestors arrived in the new world, they were isolated from the outside world, and their writings and customs naturally changed, so they have both similarities and differences with the current seven-nation script."
Chen Yang's answer is not only explaining why our words are different from the Seven Kingdoms today, but also laying the foundation for doing something strange to the world in the future that makes people in this world feel.
Simply put, it explains why Daxia is so strange (in the eyes of the indigenous people in this world), so that they can more easily accept Daxia.
After the Baiyue Envoy asked, another Baiyue Envoy asked: "Since your side wants to eliminate the war and stop the war, why do you have such powerful weapons?"
The question means: Don’t you love peace? Then why do you need to create powerful weapons? Are you doing that and want to establish that?
This time, Liang Aiguo answered, saying: "We love peace and are willing to eliminate war and stop war, but sometimes it doesn't make sense to reason. Some people don't listen to our principles at all. If we want to implement our philosophy and reason for those who don't listen to us, we must have the arms to protect our philosophy.
But we are here to solemnly explain that we will never be able to start a war, and even if we have conflicts with other parties, it will not affect the innocent people. Of course, in order to achieve the ultimate peace, there may be someone in this process, but we will not be afraid of retreating because of a little sacrifice."
This sounds very grand and righteous, bringing peace to the world and sounds very good, but why do you think something is wrong?
If these Baiyue envoys knew what was done by a beacon country in another world, they would definitely understand that this was exactly the same, just to replace "to give your people freedom and democracy" with "to bring peace to everyone."
The Baiyue envoys are not stupid. Some people have already thought of the twists and turns in Liang Aiguo's words. These Daxia people can do many things under the banner of "peace".
It's really shameless!
However, from the perspective of the people in this world, it is really good for Daxia to bring them peace. In this era, countries have been fighting for many years, and life is like grass. If Daxia can really end the war, what's the harm?
Other Baiyue envoys asked questions one after another, mainly about the political system, law, military and other aspects of Daxia. Sometimes some people asked about the history of Daxia, such as asking what happened in Daxia over the years, what major events happened, and some people were interested in the life of Daxia, asking what delicious food, how to make those beautiful clothes, and what is the strange box with four wheels on the street...
The main thing is to ask about the aspects related to the political system, not only because these Baiyue envoys are really interested in the Daxia system, but also because they want to infer how Daxia will treat them from the perspective of understanding these aspects.
If Chen Yang and others directly told the Baiyue envoy that we have no nobles in Daxia and we do not have emperors and kings, everyone will treat us equally in front of our laws.
So……
These Baiyue envoys would never be happy, but would be very scared, because they were the nobles and the ones favored by the law.
If Chen Yang and others said this, they would definitely wonder whether they would be deprived of everything they are now by Daxia?
Chen Yang and others were also very smart and did not tell these things. Although this would make Baiyue messengers suspicious indiscriminately, it was much better than telling them directly.
During the questions and answers, the Baiyue messengers gradually deepened their understanding of Daxia and felt the power of Daxia more and more.
At lunch, Li Yuanzhang and the Baiyue envoys were having dinner in the restaurant, and they were still communicating what they saw and heard in the morning.
"The mechanism of Daxia is so powerful, probably even better than the rumored Mohist and Gongshuists, right?"
"Yes! The city is so big and beautiful, it's amazing. I really want to visit it myself."
“…”
These people didn't say anything bad about Daxia when they talked, but were talking about all kinds of good things about Daxia. Some Baiyue messengers secretly started to make small moves, and passed messages to the valley camp through their servants or waiters around them. They wanted to make a deal with the valley camp.
In the afternoon, the exchange meeting continued. It was Daxia's turn to ask questions, and Baiyue answered.
Actually, I didn’t ask anything at all. Baiyue’s information was just that. I couldn’t ask very secret things, and basically I knew everything I should know.
So, the Q&A meeting ended very early. Seeing that there was still time, Liang Aiguo and others invited Baiyue envoys to watch an exercise.
Actually, that's what they're doing!
Li Yuanzhang and others arrived outside the tent, and each of them sent a telescope to look at a mountain. Later, the armed team will attack the mountain.
After getting the telescope, Li Yuanzhang and others were very surprised. This thing could see the scenery in the distance so clearly. If this thing is used in the army, it would be of great use!
"People from Baiyue, please be prepared. We are about to launch an attack on the target." An armed team member wore a biochemical protective suit and said to Li Yuanzhang and others.
The reason why they dress like this is not only because they are worried that these Baiyue people will poison and use Gu, but also because they will use the kind of martial arts among them.
The voices of Li Yuanzhang and the others heard by the armed team members and the portraits they saw were all processed.
Liang Aiguo, Chen Yang, Mu Feng and others used video to watch Li Yuanzhang and others. The same is true. Even if Yan Lingji came, she was mosaiced and turned into a bad guy, but she didn't have direct contact, what's the charm?
Yan. Biluo. The rough man. Lingji?
Just ask if you like it?
Li Yuanzhang and others did not think the armed team members were dressed strangely. After hearing his words, they all picked up the telescope and looked at the designated mountain.
First, I heard something roaring, then I saw something flying out of some parts of the valley camp, flying from the air toward the mountain at an extremely high speed, and then I saw that the mountain that was several miles away suddenly exploded with flames. After a few seconds, I heard a shocking explosion.
In the end, there was a loud bang!
When the explosion of fire subsided and the smoke dissipated, they saw that the top of the mountain was gone.
Of course, this mountain was not completely destroyed by cannons. The armed team also installed many bombs on the mountain in advance.
Li Yuanzhang and others were holding the telescope with a little trembling hands, and their faces were not good-looking. They also knew in their hearts that this was the deterrence of these guys who claimed to be Daxia people.
But so what?
Others are just intimidating you, but you can’t do anything!
In the evening, more than a dozen Baiyue envoys gathered in Li Yuanzhang's tent, making the tent look a little crowded.
One person said: "Mr. Li, will it cause misunderstandings among the Xia people if you call us together here?"
Li Yuanzhang said: "Don't you think they don't know if you come here? It's already explained that you can get to my tent smoothly. Pass on today's events in detail. The world is about to change. If Baiyue remains unchanged, there may be a catastrophe!"
One person said, "Mr. Li, isn't it as serious as you said?"
Li Yuanzhang glanced at the man and said, "Do you really think these people in Daxia are great charity, and want to stop the war and bring peace to the world as they said?"
"These Daxia people are variables and will set off a major change in this world since ancient times. Our Baiyue is so close to them, and we may have been in the whirlpool and cannot escape. Alas, you all disperse!"
After Li Yuanzhang finished speaking these few words, he seemed to be reluctant to say anything, so that the Baiyue envoys who were summoned to disperse themselves.
Chapter completed!
