Chapter 3879 Copying the Red Cross
The atmosphere in the tent suddenly dropped. Master Sun Ren's concerns were very reasonable.
The Youtun Guards were indeed strong and defeated the invading enemies many times, making the Guanlong army cry and tremble with fear, but in the current situation, it was not enough to reverse the victory or defeat. At the very least, the Youtun Guards could only huddle outside the Xuanwu Gate, relying on their own strength to defend the portal of the Taiji Palace from the rebels' attack, and reserve the final retreat channel for the East Palace.
The Guanlong army not only gathered at the Chunming Gate and Jinguang Gate on the east and west sides of Chang'an City, but because of the large number of soldiers and horses and the difficulty of supply, they were stationed around most of Chang'an City. If the Youtun Guards wanted to provide disaster relief, they would inevitably fight with Guanlong The military garrison areas were intertwined.
The strength of the Youtun Guards was destined to be that no matter how urgent the disaster relief was, they could only send out a very small number of troops. Any more troops would affect the defense outside the Xuanwu Gate. It was impossible to neglect the defense of the Xuanwu Gate just for the sake of disaster relief, regardless of the severity.
The rebels indeed did not dare to attack the Youtunwei camp easily, but if a small number of soldiers were sent to various places for disaster relief, how could they not suffer retaliation from the rebels?
By then, it is very likely that the disaster relief will not be successful, but instead the troops will be lost...
Fang Jun frowned, but he ignored this. It would be better if both sides were regular troops. After all, some things on the battlefield, such as treating the wounded and collecting the remains of fallen soldiers, were agreed upon by both sides. During this period, there would be no sudden attack.
But the Guanlong army is just a ragtag bunch, where is there any military discipline and law?
What's more, disaster relief is different from treating the wounded and collecting the remains of fallen soldiers. When the Guanlong army saw the small group of Youtun guards who were alone, they would definitely rush towards them with howls and screams...
All the generals looked serious and remained silent. For a long time, General Xin Mao suddenly said with hatred: "These gangs of rebellious officials and traitors, for their own selfish desires, not only brought chaos to the empire, but also pushed the people into dire straits. They all deserve to die!" ”
Everyone was convinced and agreed one after another.
Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, through the management of two generations of emperors, rivers and seas have prospered, and all industries have prospered. The signs of a prosperous age can already be seen. The whole country believes that a glorious and prosperous age can be created without using it. Everyone lives in peace that is rare in the past. In happiness.
The prosperity of the people and the strength of the country gave rise to the mighty Eastern Expedition that brought together hundreds of thousands of people. As long as this battle is successful, the pattern of the Tang Empire's dominance in the world will be completely established. In the next hundred years, no matter what the situation, Can be shaken.
However, at such a time when the whole country was rejoicing, the Guanlong clan took advantage of the failure of the Eastern Expedition to rise up and seize power, regardless of how devastating this move would be to the happiness that the whole country had worked hard to create since Zhenguan. blow.
Cheng Wuting said bitterly: "When a soldier fights, his body is wrapped in horse leather. Even if he falls on the battlefield in Liaodong, everyone will recognize it! But look at it now, our own people are fighting our own people, and countless soldiers die every day on the land of Guanzhong. It's simply It’s heartbreaking!”
Throughout the ages, due to the lack of means of production and backward medical and health care, population has always been the most important indicator of the rise and fall of a dynasty.
Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, the domestic situation has been stable, the national power has been growing, and the population has naturally skyrocketed. However, no matter who wins or loses in this mutiny, the population of Guanzhong will eventually plummet...
Fang Jun suddenly had an idea and waved his hand to stop everyone's quarreling and cursing.
Everyone was tight-lipped and didn't dare to interrupt Fang Jun's train of thought.
After a long while, Fang Jun breathed out softly and said to Cen Changqian: "Deploy two thousand soldiers, remove their armor, not equipped with weapons, wear white clothes and yellow belts, and participate in disaster relief. At the same time, send someone to notify all Guanlong soldiers in the Guanzhong area. Family members, this is the disaster relief team organized by Wuyou Tun Guards. We uphold the original intention of peace, charity, and rescue, and hope that all forces will not attack, and hope that they can provide necessary help to jointly rescue the victims in Guanzhong... If anyone attacks without permission, as long as there is a soldier left in the Youtun Guard, they will be Rather than fight to the death!”
This was his move to imitate the "Red Cross", but naturally he would not follow the same example and still make a red cross to help others promote their beliefs, so he used China's most noble yellow as its logo to create such a disaster relief group.
If it can continue in the future and become the consensus of the Chinese people, it will be a matter of immeasurable merit.
In Chinese history, the earliest establishment of such an organization with the purpose of "charitable relief" began in Buddhism. It has to be said that this is extremely beneficial to Buddhism in promoting its teachings of "equality of all living beings" and "benevolence and charity". It is known that many people who have been rescued are grateful for his kindness, and everyone flaunts it.
Cen Changqian's eyes lit up and she exclaimed: "The commander is really a god! In this way, the soldiers participating in the rescue will be separated from our Youtun Guards. Coupled with the commander's warning, those who are close to Longmen will not be able to come. Dare to risk the disapproval of the world!”
As long as the news spreads, all the people in Guanzhong will know that the people "wearing white clothes and yellow belts" are the team sent by Youtunwei to rescue the victims. This is the hope for the survival of all victims. Who dares to attack this team? Not only will it encounter resistance from the people in Guanzhong, but it will also be reviled by the public, making it infamy for thousands of years.
A wealthy family cares most about their reputation. Who dares to risk his life to offend Youtunwei and be infamy for eternity at the same time?
Fang Jun glared and reprimanded: "Stop flattering! Go and do things quickly. If this thing is done well, maybe there will be a mark in history. You got a big deal!"
Cen Changqian was so excited that after performing the military salute, she strode out with Ouyang Tong.
The generals in the tent were so envious that their eyes were red...
Obviously, when the army was in chaos and the people were suffering from floods and dire straits, Youtunwei put aside the war situation and vigorously rescued the affected people. This incident will be praised by people all over the world, spread widely, and become a good story.
When historians record this mutiny, they will definitely include this incident.
And Fang Jun's unique approach of creating a disaster relief force "wearing white clothes and yellow belts" will be especially written down and promoted by historians, because this represents the most noble "great honor"!
This is a mark of the times that will last forever.
And Cen Changqian, who presided over this disaster relief, will undoubtedly be recorded in the annals of history. If he does a remarkable job in the process, the historian will certainly not hesitate to praise...
Who wouldn't be envious of such an opportunity to be remembered for eternity slipping away before their eyes?
Fang Jun ignored the sour eyes, looked outside, and asked, "What time is it?"
Master Sun Ren said: "The time has passed, but the time has not yet arrived."
Fang Jun nodded, stood up and said: "I went to meet with the Duke of Wu'an County and asked him to help guard the prisoners. I also asked him to beg for some food from the British Duke. It is our duty to help the victims. We can't tighten our belts ourselves. ? His old guy is still the chief minister, we have done what he should do, and he is grateful to us. ”
Everyone burst into laughter.
Fang Jun walked out of the big tent. Wei Ying and other soldiers were ready and led the war horse to Fang Jun. Fang Jun grabbed the reins and got on the horse. He led the soldiers out of the camp, out of the camp gate, and headed straight for the Weishui River. .
When I arrived at the shore of the Wei River, I saw that the Wei River, which had been calm and flowing gracefully two days ago, was now filled with turbid waves and surging waves. The river water slapped the embankment and made a rumbling sound. The turbid river water was rolling and foaming, and there were countless Debris is washed from the upper stream and floats and sinks in the water waves.
Fang Jun frowned. Under such circumstances, there are many dangers on the river. If the boat is hit by a tree trunk, the boat may capsize. Such a situation was not expected before. Xue Wanche is stubborn. If he persists regardless of the danger of the river, If an accident occurs while crossing the river, I will feel uneasy and regret for the rest of my life.
Sure enough, after a while, the sharp-eyed guard eagle pointed at the river and said: "Here we come!"
Fang Jun looked intently and saw several ships crossing from the opposite bank on the turbulent river. They were floating and sinking in the river. They looked like they could be swallowed by the rushing waves at any time, which was full of dangers.
Everyone took a breath.
Fortunately, the worst did not happen. Half an hour later, several ships finally crossed the Weishui River and arrived at the south bank. Xue Wanche jumped off the ship first and waded through the turbid river water to Fang Jun. He smiled brightly and showed his white teeth: "Fortunately it's not too late, otherwise I would have missed your important event."
Fang Jun didn't say anything, but stepped forward and patted his shoulder heavily.
Keeping promises and keeping promises, Idiot Xue is still a bit cute... (End of this chapter)
