Chapter 185 Why the Luo People Fight
Chapter 185 Why are the Luo people fighting?
Zhaocheng.
There are mottled ancient ruins everywhere on the city wall. This city, which was built for thousands of years, is a holy place in the hearts of countless people in Xia.
But the glory will eventually come to an end.
In the past, the city of Haojing, where the Emperor Zhou sat on the divine throne and the princes of the world paid homage, has gradually been abandoned.
The former Luoyang, now Luoyang, was the capital of the Zhou Dynasty for 800 years and was known as the place where the emperor received his mandate.
Now it is gradually declining. Zhaocheng prospered because of the Luo Kingdom, and now it will finally usher in its end with the decline of the Luo Kingdom.
There is not a large population in the city now, and they are basically all capable soldiers with big shoulders and round waists.
Every piece of equipment used to defend the city was placed on the city wall.
These are all prepared beforehand.
Under the corner of the city wall, the soldiers who followed Luo Ji to attack the Qin army were happily telling their comrades about their bravery.
"You kid don't know the scene at that time. I was riding on a horse, I opened my bow from left to right, and shot ten times in a row. The arrows killed me. I just released the spear to the side. I didn't need to move at all. The Qin people just hit it by themselves. It was really enjoyable.
.”
The man next to him laughed immediately after hearing this and said, "Have you dreamed about going back to your youth again?
When you were young, you were really brave, and you were the champion of the three armies. The king personally praised you and even gave you a marriage.
But now it’s not enough to shoot three arrows.”
Then everyone burst into laughter. They were all warriors when they were young, and they still refuse to accept old age.
"Hey.
Someone is just jealous that I can follow the prince into the war.
There is no way, I am too brave, even the prince knows his name."
As soon as these rude words came out, many people around him looked at him eagerly, and the resentment in their eyes almost solidified.
Following the prince to defeat the Qin army was a glorious deed that could be recorded in the family tree, but he missed it like this.
This bitch is still rubbing salt into their wounds. He really deserves a beating!
"Brothers, it's just a joke.
Qin State's hundreds of thousands of troops attacked Luo, and then everyone had the opportunity to kill the enemy."
The man quickly looked for help, but it was already too late. Everyone rushed forward and several screams were heard.
"Hit the wrong person!"
Luo Ze and Luo Ji were observing the defensive points in the city and happened to see this scene.
Luo Ze smiled and said: "It seems that the mood of the tribe is not bad."
Luo Ji raised his head and glanced at the cloudless, blue and clear sky. There was a hint of dullness in his words, and he said softly: "Maybe it's because the weather is very good."
Luo Ze's broad hand gently patted Luo Ji's shoulder and comforted him: "Don't be so sad.
In this world, only beasts live for the sake of living.
Humans living between heaven and earth are essentially different from wild beasts.
We always have to pursue something that ordinary people cannot understand.
Stepson, what do you think is the greatest thing Luo has done in the past thousand years?"
Luo Ji was a little confused and pondered for a moment before saying, "Defended Bang Zhou's thousand-year destiny?"
Luo Ze shook his head and sighed: "For thousands of years.
The greatest thing Lowe's has ever done.
It is in Luo Kingdom that there is such a large group of people who can truly be called "people".
They have their own ideas and are willing to risk their lives for the beliefs in their hearts.
They trust the Luo State Office and believe that we will save them from worries.
Stepson, do you know why the family hates Qin Fa so much?
Obviously, the life of the lower class in Chu State is even worse, and there are even a large number of slaves left."
Of course Luo Ji knew, he had also thought about this issue and said solemnly: "It's because of the future.
There was no reform in Chu State.
With the current system of Chu State, it is destined to be swept into the garbage dump and disappear from history.
A country and system without a future have no critical value.
The Qin State has already implemented reforms, and to a certain extent it was extremely successful.
He represents a kind of future direction for Zhu Xia, and this kind of direction is not recognized by the family!
The future Zhuxias should not be like Qin's current situation.
Fundamentally, the ideas contained in Qin's laws will harm the people of Xia."
This is the most fundamental contradiction between the Luo family and the Qin State.
Luo believed that the new dynasty should not be like Qin.
In Luo's view, the country and its people are not antagonistic, but Qin Fa is just raising pigs and sheep.
Daitian herdsmen do not let the monarch treat people as cattle, horses, pigs and sheep, but love their own people as much as they care for their own property.
"The most hateful thing is that Qin Fa suppresses thoughts.
The policy of obscuring the people is digging up the roots of Zhu Xia. Although it is impossible to let everyone study now, how can it be directly deprived?
Reporting against each other, the system of joint sitting, the people of Qin often speak for their own advantage, neighbors are like enemies, and parents and relatives must be on guard against each other.
It attacks the self-confidence of the Chinese people mentally, controls their thoughts, makes them economically dependent, and dares not to rebel, and ultimately tramples all dignity to the ground.
If a person loses his mind, he is just a walking zombie, is that still considered alive?"
Luo Ze smiled and said: "People have a scale in their hearts.
Is it just because of thousands of years of kindness that the Luo family has won the hearts of the people?
Look at those tribesmen just now, don’t they know that this is a losing war?
Don't they know this is the burial place?
But can you see a hint of reluctance in their smiles?
They are not illiterate peasants who can incite casually.
They are warriors who have read about the way of benevolence and righteousness and have their own beliefs in their hearts.
Presumably in their minds, this is no longer a simple fight for the office.
They are also fighting for themselves.
Life is what I want; righteousness is also what I want. You cannot have both, and you must sacrifice life for righteousness.
You must be aware of how popular Mencius's knowledge is among Chinese people.
The tribesmen are all using their own actions to practice the path of righteousness."
Although Mencius appeared relatively late among the sages of hundreds of schools of thought, he had a great influence in the Luo Kingdom.
In particular, his views on monarchs and ministers and benevolence and righteousness almost completely touched the lifeblood of Luo people and were highly praised.
"It is easy for Qin Wangzheng to defeat the Luo Kingdom, but if he wants to change the minds of the Luo people, violent bloodshed will be needed.
It's such a pity that the world will definitely not know the great righteousness in Luo people's hearts, and it will only be attributed to Luo people's loyalty and love for the Luo family."

"Ten Thousand People in Zhaocheng" is the first book in history that embodies the thoughts of grassroots soldiers. On the eve of the country's imminent destruction, the soldiers of the Luo Kingdom were full of optimism.
They respected King Su as a god, but it was the books of the sages that really dominated their thoughts.
They have flesh and blood, their words are full of sincere feelings, they have a good outlook for the future, and they are willing to sacrifice for the sake of the light, because their lord will never let their blood be shed in vain.
In that era, it was truly a miracle for such a group of people to gather together. - Thoughts after reading "Ten Thousand People in Zhaocheng"
