The martial arts journey begins with The King's Ambition

Chapter 160 Relief for the victims
Xie Hu, Yang Xiao, Liu Ji, Song Lian, and Xie Wuji were sitting in the meeting hall of Guangmingding.

Yang Xiao said: "We prepared well for the last catastrophe, which allowed our strength to increase sharply. This time is another good opportunity. Master, we have accumulated enough supplies and are fully capable of absorbing these victims. The strength of the imperial court has further weakened." , our strength has been further strengthened, and the day of the Northern Expedition is not far away."

Xie Xun said: "Okay, I don't worry about the supplies. Brother Yang will also bring a batch of relief supplies, and he will go to Xie Hu, that is your territory, and you will check it out yourself. Again, if someone is greedy for disaster relief, Kill without pardon, cut to death, and will never be tolerated."

Although he has not yet seized power, Xie Xun's desire to rectify the administration of officials has never weakened.The treatment he gives to his subordinates is not low, but the money is touching, and there will always be people who are greedy.He dared not pin his hopes on human morality, and could only rely on the system and strict laws.

Liu Ji thought for a while, then suddenly said, "Xie Hierarch, I have a sentence that I don't know if I should say it or not?"

Liu Ji is not a member of Mingjiao, he is just Xie Wuji's teacher, so when addressing Xie Xun's position, he also brought his surname.

Xie Xun looked at him and said, "Mr. Liu, but it's okay to say."

Liu Jidao: "Now is indeed a good opportunity to develop us, but it is also a good opportunity to take advantage of the opportunity to destroy Yuan."

Xie Xun said: "Mr. Liu, please speak directly."

Liu Jidao: "The disaster relief should be the court's business, but the court has no ability to provide disaster relief, or it doesn't want to provide disaster relief at all. We can indeed strengthen us if we do disaster relief, but if we don't provide disaster relief, then so many disaster victims will point at the court. It will be inevitable that they will attack the imperial court. We haven’t pacified the south yet, so just taking this opportunity, the victims of the disaster will take the lead in revolting, and then we will completely wipe out the Mongols in the south. At that time, the trend of strength and weakness will reverse, and we will take advantage of the victory of the Northern Expedition , the overall situation of the world can be determined."

Everyone was shocked when they heard that, this is to use the disaster victims as cannon fodder, let them consume the power of the imperial court, and finally his group of people came out to reap the benefits.That's hundreds of thousands of disaster victims, this scholar has such a poisonous mind.

Xie Hu said: "This is several 10 people, how can you just ignore it?"

Liu Jidao: "I'm targeting the imperial court."

Xie Hu said: "Then we can't let so many people starve to death."

Liu Ji also knew that his strategy was too vicious, and an upright Jianghu person like Xie Hu couldn't explain it clearly.Only Xie Xun can decide this kind of thing, so he just looked at Xie Xun and ignored Xie Hu.

Xie Hu was also anxious, and said to Xie Xun: "Brother, don't talk about the lives of these tens of thousands of people, just say that in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, we have a huge industry, and these hungry and red-eyed victims will not care so much. , whoever has something to eat must be robbed, and it may not only be aimed at the imperial court."

Xie Xun looked at Liu Ji.

Liu Jidao: "It's not difficult. As long as we send people to mix in with the victims and guide them, there won't be any big problems."

Xie Hu didn't expect Liu Ji's solution to the problem to be so simple, he said: "But we have absorbed these disaster victims and trained them, which also enhances our strength."

Liu Jidao: "Rescuing the disaster victims can indeed increase our numbers, but it will consume a lot of materials, and it will take a long time for them to form combat power. Besides, even if these disaster victims are rescued, not everyone is willing to do so. Follow us to rebel, if people want to live a stable life, can you still catch strong men? But if there is no disaster relief, then these people must rebel whether they want to or not, otherwise they will starve to death. Even if such a group of people have not been trained, their combat effectiveness It is also very scary. And when the court eliminates these disaster victims, the court itself will suffer. This not only saves property, but also saves time, and retains the strongest combat effectiveness. Even if the court is unable to eliminate these disaster victims in the end, it will inevitably Both sides will suffer, and once our elite soldiers come out, the world will be peaceful."

Yang Xiao looked at Liu Ji with a strange expression.People in the Jianghu, no matter how cruel and bloodthirsty they are, cannot kill so many people.This scholar is just a few words, once Xie Xun adopts them, the fate of this family will be sealed.

Xie Xun pondered for a moment, this strategy is not very clever, but it is definitely vicious.It is undeniable that this is a strategy to maximize profits.

Xie Xun looked at Xie Wuji.Xie Wuji was shocked, his eyes fixed on Xie Xun.

Xie Xun shook his head and said, "We can't adopt this strategy, we should do our best to rescue the disaster."

Xie Hu relaxed his whole body, and glared at Liu Ji angrily.

Liu Ji's face remained unchanged, and he was also relieved.He couldn't bear to make such a plan.But as a counselor, he has the responsibility to advise Xie Xun. As for whether to use it or not, that is Xie Xun's business.Now that Xie Xun vetoed it, he didn't say any more.

Xie Xun said to Liu Ji: "Mr. Liu, your strategy is not bad, but we cannot adopt it. The purpose of our rebellion against the Yuan Dynasty is to save the suffering Han people under the tyranny of the Mongol Yuan. Every time a foreign race invades the Central Plains, the reason is our own. They are killing each other and the national power is declining. Every one of our tribe is precious, and these grassroots people who are at the mercy of others are our foundation. Without them, everything we have is a castle in the sky, like a mirror."

Liu Ji cupped his fists and said, "I've been taught."

Yang Xiao has followed Xie Xun for many years and knows Xie Xun's consistent policy towards civilians, so he is not surprised by Xie Xun's choice.

Song Lian looked at Liu Ji and felt that his plan was reckless.

Xie Hu has always obeyed Xie Xun's order. If Xie Xun really adopted Liu Ji's strategy, Xie Hu would also resolutely implement it, but he would inevitably feel unbearable and chilling towards Xie Xun. Now Xie Hu is satisfied with the result .

Xie Wuji is young, but he is already very thoughtful. He has been thinking about Liu Ji's strategy and Xie Xun's decision, and he is more convinced of Xie Xun.

The discussion on this matter will stop here, unify our thinking and do our best to rescue the disaster.

Yang Xiao asked, "Master, the Persian Ming Cult's envoy is here, do you want to see him?"

Liu Ji saw that they were going to discuss the internal affairs of Mingjiao, so he got up and left with Xie Wuji and Song Lian.

Xie Xun said: "Did they say that there is something wrong?"

Yang Xiao said: "They didn't go into details, but it was nothing more than that they helped the imperial court in Dadu at that time. They were afraid that you would bear a grudge, so they came here to ask for forgiveness."

Xie Xun said: "I've let them hang out for so long, so I'll see you then."

An old acquaintance from the Persian religion came, the Wisdom Tree King, and beside him was a veiled Persian girl, and they were led in by Dai Qisi.

It turned out that they knew that Xie Xun had come back, so they ran to meet Dai Qisi first, hoping that she would care about her relationship with Persia, and speak a few words of kindness in Xie Xun's ear.

After Dai Qisi brought them in, she came to Xie Xun's side.

The Wisdom Treasure Tree King took a step forward, bowed and said, "Thank you, Hierarch."

The girl next to him also saluted.

Xie Xun didn't talk nonsense at all, and directly sent: "I don't look for you, how dare you come to me? Since you are helping the Mengyuan court, you are my enemy. You come here alone today, and I won't kill you. Go back and tell your leader , send more people next time, so as not to say that I bully you, or just wait for me to visit."

The Wisdom Treasure Tree King hurriedly said: "Xie Hierarch misunderstood, we never want to be an enemy of the Middle Earth Mingjiao, but we were under the rule of the Ilkhanate and had to obey the orders of the Great Khan. Now, the Ilkhanate has already If we split, we will not come to China to help the imperial court again, please forgive us for our difficulties."

Xie Xun subconsciously glanced at Dai Qisi. He only knew that Persia was under the rule of the Mongol Empire, and the Persian Mingjiao had always been the lackey of the Mongols, but he didn't know the specific situation.

Dai Qisi whispered: "As early as Genghis Khan's time, Mongolia had already occupied the eastern part of Persia, and later occupied all of Persia. Originally, it was under the direct jurisdiction of the Mongolian Khan, but later because of Hulagu Khan, the son of Torre, the fourth son of Genghis Khan, Supporting Kublai Khan, Kublai Khan gave it to Hulagu Khan as his territory, and he has always supported Dayuan as the suzerain state. After the death of Abu Said Khan the year before last, powerful officials and generals supported the puppet Khan, the Ili Khanate is split, and they are fighting each other now, they can't take care of themselves, and they don't have time to take care of the affairs of Middle Earth."

Only then did Xie Xun understand, and said: "You besieged us in Dadu, you committed a heinous crime, how can you resolve it with a few words. If we all died in Dadu at that time, how could we have the right to forgive you?"

The Wisdom Treasure Tree King groaned in his heart: "There is nothing wrong with you, two of us are dead and one disabled, you still hold on to it?"

However, although he only had contact with Xie Xun once, he also knew that the leader was arrogant and powerful more than ten years ago, and now he is even more powerful, so there is really no reason to talk to him.

He couldn't help looking at Dai Qisi, hoping that Dai Qisi could say something kindly.

Daikis has known this Treasure Tree King for many years, long before she came to Middle-earth. Although the Treasure Tree King wanted to capture Daikis back to Persia more than ten years ago, Daikis did not hate him because It is normal to want to arrest her. There is no personal grievance between them. She also knows that she violated the canon at that time. If she is not arrested, what is the majesty of the canon?
But at this time, she would not interfere with Xie Xun's decision. Firstly, she didn't care about Mingjiao's affairs for a long time, and secondly, as a wife, she didn't want to influence Xie Xun's decision.

Based on what she knew about Xie Xun, Xie Xun didn't really hate the Persian Mingjiao that much, otherwise he would have gone to Persia long ago, and it would be impossible for them to stay in Guangmingding for so long. If he didn't kill them, he would drive them away .He is just expressing an attitude now, maybe he is calculating Persian Mingjiao.

Seeing that Dai Qisi remained silent, the Wisdom Tree King became anxious: "It seems that there is only one trump card."

The Wisdom Treasure Tree King clasped his fists and said, "Thank you, Hierarch, this time we came here with sincerity."
