Chapter 50 Recruiting Surrenders and Rebellions (Part 1)
When Cao Gan said this, Liu Qi took over and asked: "I'm quite surprised. Since Zhang Lian has been very kind to you and you have repaid his kindness, it stands to reason that the two of you should be treated like this.
It’s a life-and-death friendship, wouldn’t it be much better for you to follow him than follow Jiang Manqing?”
"That's a good question!" Cao Gan suddenly looked at Liu Wei with a look of hatred on his face: "It's easy for me to follow Zhang Lian. As long as Zhang Lian has a mouthful to eat, I can't live without a mouthful of soup! But at that time, my brother was still in Jiang Manqing.
By my side, he and I are from the same mother and father. If I leave, he will definitely die. Are you asking me to sell my only relative in this world and run away?"
Oh, this is very embarrassing. His only relative was beaten to death by Liu Wei a few days ago.
Gao Pragmatic also frowned and fell silent.
Speaking of which, Gao Gan is not the kind of young man with a strong-willed temperament, and he does not think that the world is black and white. As far as he is concerned, no matter how many bad things Cao Gan has done, as long as he is not guilty of someone Gao
If he committed a crime, and this person is useful to him, then Gao pragmatism may still consider using him - provided that using him will not cause other greater harm in the future.
In the final analysis, Gao Pragmatic is a thorough pragmatist. He may have slightly higher moral requirements for himself, but for the people he intends to use, in addition to national justice, many other moral crimes in the eyes of the world are harmful to the people he intends to use.
It's not a big problem for him. At least, it can give him a chance to change his ways.
In fact, this may be a kind of conceit brought about by time travel - I come from a more civilized era, so I can have higher requirements for myself, but for you people, it doesn't matter, as long as it can be used. As long as it can be used
Use your strengths to help me achieve my goal. It’s no big deal to leave other sections aside for now. “Don’t worry about these details”!
As for my purpose? Ha, even if I tell you, you can’t understand it!
It is this sense of superiority that makes Gao Pragmatic subconsciously not pay much attention to the mistakes a person has made before. As long as you can perform well after you come under my command, I dare to give you a chance to start a new life!
In the face of the great cause of saving the Ming Dynasty, or even saving the inheritance of Chinese civilization, these things are insignificant!
What happened to the rebellion? When Gao Jingshi found out that he had traveled to the Ming Dynasty, didn't he also consider the path of rebellion? It was just that after weighing it, he felt that the damage caused by the rebellion to the entire nation was too great, and it was not as gentle as reform from top to bottom.
, it was prudent and that’s why I didn’t choose to take the path of rebellion.
However, since I, as a time traveler, will weigh whether to rebel or not, don't the "contemporary people" of the Ming Dynasty have this choice? After all, the people at the bottom can still get by with their daily lives, who has the brains to risk their lives to rebel?
This is not a game played by later generations. If you play to death, you will just reload the file. If this rebellion fails, it will be a serious matter that will lose your head.
But the current problem is that if Cao Gan cannot reconcile with Liu Wei, then it will be very troublesome to use this person. At least no matter how Gao Pragmatic looks at it, he will not think that Cao Gan's role can be compared with Liu Wei, and Liu Wei is killing
In the matter of Cao Gan and his brother, there was absolutely nothing wrong. If we want to be fair, we should even praise him for his bravery and courage.
Gao Pangshi was hesitating right now. He was not afraid that Cao Gan would become a rebel, nor was he afraid that Cao Gan would let Zhang Lian go.
The rebels have been eliminated and Zhang Lian has escaped. History has proven that this group of people did not threaten the entire Ming Dynasty at all, so Gao Pragmatic is not worried about this at all. As for concealing Cao Gan's identity and covering the lid, Gao Pragmatic blinked.
You can come up with at least two or three solutions in just a short amount of time, so it’s even less of a hassle.
The real trouble is that if Cao Gan always looks like he wants to fight to the death with Liu Wei, then if Gao Pragmatic wants to use him, he will have to worry about Liu Wei's attitude. In fact, Liu Wei can not only crush Cao Gan in terms of force,
Now he has the same "dirty information" about Cao Gan as Gao Pingshi, and he can put Cao Gan to death at any time if he wants.
Gao Pragmatic is not willing to spend great efforts to save and cultivate a talent, only to find that this person was killed by his more promising helper not long after.
Of course, Gao Pragmatic can also choose a simpler attitude: as long as Cao Gan can help in capturing Bailixia, then I will use it first, and when the Bailixia bandits are recruited and trained by me, Cao Gan
What does it have to do with Mr. Gao whether he lives or dies?
Thinking of this, Gao Pingshi glanced at Liu Wei. He felt that the reason why Liu Wei had not shown any signs of breaking out until now was probably because he believed in his heart that he was simply using Cao Gan in this matter, and his goals were limited to
After winning the Baili Gorge, it won't be a troublesome thing to try to cross the river and burn the bridge.
But Gao Pragmatic didn't want to waste a talent with good foundation easily - Cao Gan had experienced many battles and had experience in commanding cavalry (horse thieves), so he could form an infantry-cavalry match with Gao Mo, which would be very useful for building his own private armed team.
It is very effective. After all, although Liu Wei is strong, he will definitely not become the leader of Gao Jingshi's private army. His role must be to lead troops to defend the Ming Dynasty rather than to defend Gao Jingshi's personal industry. Gao Jingshi has a clear understanding of this.
.
Just when Gao Pangshi was still thinking hard about how to untie this seemingly deadlock of hatred between the two of them, Liu Wei smiled and said to Cao Gan: "You don't have to remind me that although I have killed enough people, you
I forgot about my brother's death so quickly. Moreover, even if what happened that day happens again, I will definitely kill him - he brought it upon himself."
Surprisingly, Cao Gan just sneered and said: "He does have a right to die, but no matter what, for Cao, this debt cannot be ignored."
Liu Wei didn't care about Cao Gan's threat. Instead, he asked with some surprise: "Oh? You actually think he has a right to die?"
Cao Gan looked indifferent and said: "I have repeatedly ordered them not to bully good women. Every time I send them out to collect grain, I give them three days to go to the brothel to deal with it. He is my biological brother and refuses to let me go."
In my heart, if I knew about this, he would still be in trouble."
After hearing this, Liu Wei showed a sarcastic smile: "Oh, so, you are... what the hell are you? A righteous bandit?"
Cao Gan glanced at him disdainfully: "If you weren't from the army, you might not have a better reputation than me."
Gao Pinggong said sincerely: I'm afraid this is true. In history, when Liu Wei fought against Burma, his methods were ruthless. I guess they were not much better than the infamous Sanguang policy in later generations, let alone Liu Wei.
In the battle between Xian father and son to level the Duzhang barbarians, the father and son performed an unprecedented act of "genocide" and wiped out the entire Duzhang barbarian nation from the face of the earth.
Although it is true that the Duzhang Barbarians constantly "rebelled and surrendered, surrendered and rebelled again" throughout the Ming Dynasty, after playing this game countless times, they indeed completely pissed off the court, but the operation of genocide...
...In Gao Pragmatic's opinion, it is still too harsh. If Gao Pragmatic were to deal with it, they would be moved to the interior and dispersed to live in one hundred and eighty counties. After two or three generations, this population would not be able to survive.
There are not many ethnic groups who will naturally be assimilated. Why do they have to do such stupid things that make the hair stand on end just from the sound of it?
Maybe this is the difference between killing with blood and killing without blood.
