Chapter 455: There is no turning back at the beginning

  There is no turning back at the beginning of Chapter 455

  Qin Lang has never met Yang's daughter, and he doesn't want to.

  If you have seen it, you will be afraid of being soft-hearted. Women shed tears pitifully, which is sometimes very lethal. Out of sight out of mind.

  But at night, Qin Lang saw Yang's daughter.

  Anong, who is also a woman, can't stand Yang's poor appearance standing alone outside the customs with a red dowry. Although she hates Yang Jiyuan and the men of the Yang family, she always wants to avenge the Nong family and kill the Yang family in Langshanwu.

   But when she looked at Yang's daughter who was alone, she still couldn't bear it.

   Finally, someone opened the door and brought Yang's daughter back to Guanzhong.

  Qin Lang came back from discussing matters, and saw Yang's daughter in green makeup, with a goose face, fair skin, long eyelashes, and there were still tears on her pink cheeks.

  Standing outside the customs without eating or drinking for three days, this woman is very strong, and it shows that she has a good physique, otherwise most people would have fainted to death.

  When Qin Lang came in, she was drinking ginseng soup.

  Standing for three days, suffered from a lot of dampness, cold, frost, and dew. When I was outside, I was still holding on. Once I entered the house and sat down, I passed out.

  Anong gave her ginseng soup, and finally recovered.

  Seeing Qin Lang coming in, he struggled to get up to meet him, but almost fell down as soon as he got up.

   "No." Qin Lang was a little helpless.

  Anong stepped forward to plead guilty, "The slave made his own decisions, Saburo, please punish the slave."

   "Since you have brought her in, forget it, let her stay with you temporarily, and I will go tonight to rest." Qin Lang said.

  Yang's daughter stood up stubbornly and bowed.

"My slave's name is Lanzhi, Xiaozi Chongniang. She is sixteen years old this year. I know that my family has a grudge with Mrs. Anong, and I also know that my grandpa has offended Mr. Wei. Lanzhi is a little girl, and I just ask Mrs. Wei to treat adults regardless of minors." If people pass, the prime minister can hold a boat in his belly."

"I also hope that Wei Gong can read that my Yang family is also a Chinese Han people who were originally from the Central Plains. They have the same roots, so why bother to fight each other now? In the wild land of Jiaozhou, it is difficult for the descendants of my Han family to survive here. Now that Duke Wei is entrusted to Tiannan by His Majesty, he is a newcomer and needs the help of a Han family like my Yang family who have the same roots. Why is Duke Wei breaking his own arm because of a moment of anger and killing me and other Han descendants? "

   "Please ask Wei Gong to give the Yang family another chance to redeem their sins!"

   "Please, little girl!"

  Qin Lang was a little surprised. This woman from Yang's official speech was very standard, without any Lingnan accent. What's even more commendable was that her words were quite reasonable.

   Hit the stakes.

Qin Lang sighed, "If you were the head of the Yang family, then this disaster would not have happened. I have just arrived from afar, and I have placed high hopes on the Yang family. Give me Qin Lang's face, so I have no choice but to resort to this in the end."

   "Wei Gong, it's too late to stop now!"

"Stop? If I stop right now, I think your family won't realize their mistake. They will only think that I, Qin Lang, are weak and hopeful. Besides, my stage has already been set up. , the audience has already been seated, and the show is about to begin, and you told me not to perform at this time, how can I explain it to the audience?"

"There is no turning back when the bow is opened. If the Yang family really wants to avoid this disaster, the only way is to untie the bell and tie the bell. Only the Yang family can stop this disaster. As long as the Yang family opens Wubao, please surrender. , then the truth can be dealt with lightly, this is your last chance!"

  Yang's daughter lowered her head in disappointment.

"Wei Gong has not seen Yangjiawu Fort yet. Yangwu has one master and twelve lieutenants, and now they are fully preparing for the battle. More than 20,000 people have retreated into the thirteen forts, watching and helping each other. There are plenty of water in the fort. There are plenty of food, bows, arrows, knives and guns, and even heavy weapons such as catapults and ballistas in the fort. Even in the face of an enemy of 100,000, Yang Wu can defend for a year or two..."

  Qin Lang smiled.

"Girl, I heard that you are proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and you are very talented. Girl, you have a good talent in this area. Coupled with hard work, you will naturally have good skills. But war is a man's business, and it is the specialty of generals. Yang Your family's Wubao may be as good as you said, but when it comes to fighting, you are a layman, and your Yang family are all laymen. Even your grandfather once fought with the king's master in the Central Plains, but he is old. The Yang family thinks With the strength of one family, how could it be possible to win against the imperial court?"

   "Mr. Wei, the whole Yang family is united. Even if Mr. Wei wins with a strong attack, it will be a miserable victory. Is this what Mr. Wei wants?"

   "Of course this is not what I want, but since some people want it, then I have no choice but to make it happen. Seek benevolence to get benevolence, and seek righteousness to get righteousness."

"Okay, girl, don't try to persuade me anymore. You should rest here for a good night. I will send someone to take you back tomorrow. The girl is so eloquent. You can persuade your grandfather, father, etc. when you go back. If they are willing to surrender , can still be treated with leniency.”

   After speaking, Qin Lang turned and left.

  A little girl, no matter how eloquent she is, she can't be the head of the Yang family, so what's the point of arguing with her?

  In this world, there are more old guys like Yang Jiyuan, old fried dough sticks with hob meat, who will not die until the Yellow River, and will not be discouraged until they hit the south wall.

  You want to reason with him, but he insists on **** with you.

  Since he wants to compare, let him do as he wishes.

  Qin Lang brought the jar of willow pulp wine to Qin Yong.

   "You don't mind spending the night at your place tonight, do you?"

  Qin Yong smiled, "We used to sleep together in the same bed, don't you remember?"

   "The night is fine, how about two cups of willow juice?"

   "It's ok, anyway, this wine doesn't give you a headache and it's not intoxicating. At most, it's just slightly smoked and peeing a lot. But the wine alone is not enough, and you have to have two appetizers to make it interesting."

  Qin Yong rummaged for a while, and found a large piece of shredded beef jerky, and found a bag of fried beans.

  So the two brothers sat on the cool couch, leaning on the railing to watch the moon, took a sip of willow pulp, then tore a strip of beef jerky, which was chewy, and then two beans, which were crunchy.

   "I heard that Anon brought Yang's daughter in, so I thought you were going to be a groom again tonight." Qin Yong joked.

  Qin Lang smiled, "A-Nong makes her own decision, but the girl from the Yang family is quite interesting, a very smart girl with sharp words."

   "Then you still come to drink with me?"

"We are recruiting troops here, and we are about to attack Wubi. How can I do it under such circumstances?" Qin Lang shook his head. He is not the kind of person who has no moral concepts. He will not be responsible if he wipes it clean, he will have a psychological burden if he does that.

   It is rare for the two brothers to drink and chat like this.

   Half a jar of willow pulp went down, and the two brothers went to soak the water together, and then came back to continue drinking.

   "Do you really want to destroy the Yang family?" Qin Yong asked, "Don't you have room for the Yuecheng barbarians and the Jinjidong barbarians?"

   "Do you want to speak for them?" Qin Lang asked.

   "I just think, no matter how you say it, the Yang family came from it after all. In this land in the south of the sky, there are barbarians everywhere, and there are not many Han people."

   "The seventh ancestors of the Yang family moved south from the Central Plains to the seventh generation of the Lingnan capital. In fact, they have long since ceased to regard themselves as Han Chinese, and the imperial court also regarded them as scumbags." Qin Lang said.

   "But after all, they haven't changed their Chinese dialect, nor have they lost their tattoos and become barbarians."

   This is the difference in the concept of Huayi between the two brothers. In Qin Lang's eyes, the so-called distinction between Huayi and Yi is not based on blood, but on culture.

  When barbarians enter China, they become Xia, and when China enters barbarians, they become barbarians. "Entering Xia and entering barbarians" does not refer to living in a Chinese or barbarian place, but refers to after moving to that place, accepting the local culture, and adopting the local culture.

This is like the fact that many Chinese immigrated to the United States or Australia in later generations. It was okay when they first went there, but after the second and third generations, their descendants fully integrated into the local area, learned foreign culture and history, and changed their language to English. They even Some of them gradually lost their ability to speak their native dialect. How can these people be considered Chinese? They are just banana people. They look yellow on the outside but are white on the inside.

  This is exactly what the ancestors said, when the Chinese enter the barbarians, the barbarians will become barbarians.

But Qin Yong, son of the big hammer, still feels that although the Yang family has moved to Jiaozhou for seven generations, they still retain many traditional customs such as Chinese language and clothing, so they should still be their own people, unlike those barbarians. There is still a big difference, so when dealing with them, we should be more relaxed and treat them as our own.

   "Li Ben, Zhao Guangfu, and Li Fozi are all descendants of Han immigrants from the Central Plains, but when they rebelled, they didn't regard themselves as Han family members."

"Even Shi Xie, the prefect of Jiaozhi during the Three Kingdoms period, was also a descendant of immigrants from the Central Plains, but he still took advantage of the melee of the Three Kingdoms in the Central Plains to separate himself and stand on his own for forty years. Since the Western Han Dynasty, the Zhan people in the south of Jiaozhi have repeatedly rebelled. In the Yonghe period of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Zhanren killed officials and seized the city, and became the king himself. After that, the Central Plains became chaotic. Until now, Linyi has been splitting away."

  In Qin Lang’s view, you regard these local tyrants who are descendants of Han immigrants as brothers of the same clan. They don’t regard you as their own, but if there is a chance, they will rebel, separate, and even establish a country and become king.

   In a sense, Yang Jiyuan is actually no different from Li Ben and Li Fozi who claim to be kings on their own.

  So this kind of people, Qin Lang never felt that they were his own.

  Essentially speaking, this is not the fault of these people, it's just that the environment and location they are in are different, resulting in different results. This is the same as the Three Kingdoms at the end of the Han Dynasty. Cao Pi, Liu Bei, and Sun Quan were originally Han officials, but they would also proclaim themselves emperors and found a country if they had the opportunity.

  Liu Bei founded the country in the middle of Shu, established the country with Gongsun's family in Liaodong, and established the country with Shi Xie in Jiaozhi. There is essentially no difference.

If we talk about the difference, it is just that Liaodong, Shuzhong, Jiangdong and other places are the mainland of the Central Plains. Even if they are divided, they will soon be unified. The Han people are the main body under the rule, but Jiaozhou is far away from the Central Plains. The number of Han people is small, and the barbarians are the main body. If Jiaozhou The separatist regime will eventually go to the opposite side of the separation from the Central Plains, not only the political power, but even the culture.

  The Yang family is fundamentally correct. If they get along well, they might become the Yang family of Bozhou in history and rule the roost for seven hundred years. Of course, he met Qin Lang, and his Langshan was encircled into Qin Lang's Wu'an prefecture when the emperor swiped his dragon stick, so it was impossible for Qin Lang to make him the governor of Langshan prefecture and let him be at ease .

  The Yang family wanted to resort to force, but they saw the truth in their fists and feet, and used force to force Qin Lang to make concessions. How could Qin Lang set such a precedent, let alone compromise.

  At this time, it is meaningless to Qin Lang that the Yang family is quite a Han.

   "After breaking Yang's Langshanwu, let's talk about the differences between Han and barbarians! Now, there are only enemies, and there is no distinction between Han and barbarians!"
