C963 Yang Zhis Great Truth (2/2)
”What kind of shitty Taiping Heavenly Kingdom is this! This damned Kingdom of Heaven will perish... Big guy followed you to fight in the mountains, and in the end he couldn't even drink a single mouthful of soup.
”Right now, Xiao Letian is also taking the same road to death. When more and more of the older soldiers realised that working hard for Xiao Letian had failed to bring about any benefits and they all died for nothing, who do you think will be willing to work for him, the The Empress Dowager or the other dukes? How can one be stupid for a moment, and then for the rest of their life? ”
Originally, Ci Xi and the rest did not think much of this repetitious person asking about it, but once Yang Zhi said this, everyone present was moved. It was reasonable, but this Yang Zhi really had something in his stomach!
”Actually, compared to back and forth, the imperial court is the best, with the most conscience! This is the main reason why I, the Great Qing, have defeated the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom! ”” The reward and punishment are very clear, and the amount of contribution is how great the title and official position is. Selling this life would at least allow my children and grandchildren three generations of wealth to live carefree lives.
”These few years, I have encountered many soldiers of the Heavenly Kingdom in Ryukyu. After talking to them, I understand that during the last few years when Tianjing was breached, the Heavenly Kingdom was already in despair …”
”However, at that time, the enmity between the Xiang Army and the Sky Nation was too deep, and she did not even have the intention to keep any thoughts of capturing them. Thus, the decisiveness of the latter stages of the Taiping Army's resistance was not because of Hong Xiuquan and the others, but was purely their instinct for survival.”
Yang Zhi sighed: ”This servant said something that I shouldn't have. If the Imperial Court had opened up a few paths at that time, giving the surrender a chance at survival, I don't think the war would have lasted that long. Perhaps we could have ended this war two years earlier …”
Everyone in Yangxin Palace were moved, no one expected Yang Zhi to actually have such a logical reason in his stomach! The Prince Kung was secretly shocked, if Xiao Letian's subordinates were even able to have a traitor of such standard, then one could imagine the quality of the higher ranked officers, how did this man manage to go to his side?
”There is indeed some truth to this!” Ci Xi nodded his head: ”Then in your opinion, how should we deal with Xiao Letian?”
Yang Zhi received the positive feedback and immediately became excited. ”Old Buddha is enlightened! Firstly, we have to learn from our past mistakes and not fall out with Xiao Letian. To put it in a bad way, Xiao Letian truly has a set of skills.
”Therefore, we have to use the Water Grindstone to slowly dissolve the Ryukyu's attack. After all, we are the orthodox ones, and we have countless of high ranking officials here to reward us …”
”From now on, you have to secretly establish a connection with Xiao Letian's subordinates, don't expect them to surrender like me, but we have to give them a signal of goodwill in advance, and let them know that as long as they come back, not only will we let them off scot-free, the imperial court will even use them again …”
”Heh heh, I don't believe it. Is there really anyone in this world who doesn't like high officials and likes to call servants? Is giving in for nothing addictive? ”
”On the other hand... Then we will have to stare at Xiao Letian's wives, especially at their bellies! ”
