From now on, be your own master...

The young men didn't react at all.

How could they understand Ambassador Yang’s good intentions?

In this era where the illiteracy rate is extremely high and the people are not yet enlightened, the lowest level is just living in numbness. They don't know what rights they have, and they don't even have any thoughts. In other words, their thoughts are just to live, to live for the sake of living. Even if

Until now, I'm afraid many people don't understand what they are doing here. They only know that the chiefs, elders and big families who are like chiefs ask them to come, so they follow them.

Because they have always obeyed the orders of these people.

It's that simple.

The clan leader gave the order, and there was free food.

Come then!

Of course, there are also superstitious thoughts.

But what Yang Feng wants is for them to really take this step.

No matter what they think.

The key is that they take this step.

The people who signed the Mayflower Compact also thought nothing of it. They were just a group of people who were driven out of their homeland to survive in an unknown world. They had to join a group to stay warm and then reach a mutually acceptable agreement.

The most influential historical moments are often born in such a simple way.

"Since the River God has spoken, we don't have to worry about anything. Send the order, and all the people under Taiyuan City will elect one by one. Choose those who the people are convinced of, and then come here in place of the people in this city. Then I

Then invite the Duke of Wei, together with the Princess of Jin and the Crown Prince, and let these selected people decide in front of the River God whether Shanxi will return to the Song Dynasty or the Ming Dynasty."

Yang Feng said.

Those who make up the council...

Well, it's the council. After all, so many people need a management system.

Therefore, the participating elders from each county formed a meeting, and the oldest ones would be selected first. Yang Feng did not have to worry about this kind of thing, they were all old foxes and knew how to play. When their clans implemented family laws, each branch also held meetings like this.

We must believe in the wisdom of the Shanxi gentry.

Of course, externally they are definitely not leading these young men.

That's a crime.

In fact, they learned that these young men were surrounding Huicheng, so they did not hesitate to drag their waning bodies to try to persuade these young men to return to their hometowns. This would not be a crime. Not only was it not a crime, but it would also be a meritorious service!

As for not being able to persuade me to go back...

There is nothing we can do about it. After all, there is a river god here. How can they speak more effectively than the river god? Besides, even Wei Guogong and a bunch of officials can't do anything about it. How can we expect these bad old men? But they are indeed here to persuade.

Yes, this clears up their involvement.

"Quick, go and give the order!"

An elderly man said to the young man next to him.

The other elders gave orders to the young men who followed them.

The latter quickly mounted their horses and ran towards their camps in their respective counties. This was a huge encirclement of dozens of miles. Taiyuan City was 24 miles in circumference and surrounded by more than 300,000 people. They were all based in the county capital.

As for the food, it is coordinated by the council and purchased from the surrounding areas. In fact, they also carry some of it themselves.

It will last for a month or two, no problem.

In fact, gentry from all over Shanxi are actively contributing.

"Ambassador, why bother? Why don't you just let the elders..."

Wang Ping, who had already regarded himself as a confidant of the ambassador, spoke in a low voice but hesitated.

Yang Feng looked at him strangely.

"I remember you as a smart guy."

Ambassador Yang said in a low voice.

Wang Ping was stunned for a moment, and then showed an expression of sudden realization.

"Ambassador, I'm just a little stupid."

He quickly lowered his head and said.

The elders next to them all stroked their beards and showed deep smiles. It was obvious that Ambassador Yang was a kind person. Of course, he could not stand out like this. They were all old foxes. They knew very well that even if the final result belonged to the Song Dynasty, Wei Guogong would not be able to withdraw.

In Shanxi. No matter what Duke Wei promised to Yang Feng, the final result could not be that Ming Dynasty gave up Shanxi. This was completely impossible. What they actually wanted was to use this to put pressure on the court and let the court understand that Shanxi could rebel at any time.

To achieve their goal of expelling the Jin vassal. But they never thought about actually rebelling. This drama of people deciding their affiliation was really just a drama, a drama to demonstrate to the court.

So what will happen to those who choose to return to the Song Dynasty afterwards?

These are all sacrifices.

Everyone in the clan sacrifices an ordinary clansman in exchange for the results they want. They can even deliberately choose those with thorns, who are usually disobedient but are supported by the lower class clansmen.

Have prestige.

They are very prestigious.

Choosing them further demonstrates the selflessness of these senior citizens.

Then the imperial court will settle accounts in the fall and use the imperial court's help to get rid of them.

Very good design.

But it would be stupid to be the victim yourself.

Yang Feng's eyes swept across them, and he also showed a deep smile.

They thought it was a show, but those young men didn’t think it was a show!

These elders thought that they were using ordinary tribesmen as victims, but they did not know that in the eyes of Ambassador Yang, they were the victims. These old guys were useless. All Yang Feng needed was for them to bring the young people to Taiyuan. Now they have completed

Your own tasks have lost their use value and can be discarded.

"Ambassador, please come and speak."

A misty voice suddenly sounded.

Yang Feng quickly walked to the high platform and entered the river god's shrine...

"Fu Youde has already set off. According to the days, it is estimated that he will arrive in Taiyuan in five days at most. His Majesty the Emperor has given him an imperial edict, asking him to destroy the river god. He has also issued an edict to Wu Dinghou, who will go to Peiping to take over the Peiping Dusi and Beiping Dusi. Zhou

Xing went to Liaodong to succeed Wu Dinghou, cutting off Fu Youde's retreat."

Zhang Ying, who was wearing a flashlight and playing the role of the river god, said.

As for what the river god said...

It's not that difficult, just practice it a few times and you'll be fine.

Mainly the soundtrack.

Who can hear the change in the voice of the River God in the soundtrack in the watch? Besides, the ignorant people and women worshiping around are completely dominated by the River God when they see the light. How can they think about the truth and falsehood? Such trivial matters are very trivial.

Easy to solve.

As for changing people, it is easier. The platform is hollow now, and there is a passage below. You can change your clothes and go straight down. There are a large number of ceremonial guards and drums around the platform to serve the river god. They are all their own people. They also have a lot of cars. Although

The positions of these cars will change, but there is always one blocking the exit, which is the darkest shadow. People leaving can directly get on the car and leave.

When Yang Feng is needed, Yang Feng plays the role of the river god.

When he leaves for business, he changes to Zhang Ying.

Anyway, no one dared to look directly at the flashlight shining on her body. Although Zhang Ying was half a head shorter than Yang Feng, once the armor was worn and the light was emitted, who could tell the difference?

"Come on, come on, if Zhu Yuanzhang lets him die, then it will save face for His Majesty the Emperor.

Besides, I'm just helping him.

Since Lao Zhu wants him to die, he will not die in my hands, but Lao Zhu has to do it himself. But if Lao Zhu does it, he will not die alone, but his father and son plus his cronies will die together, and he will die in my hands.

At least I'll die in battle."

Yang Feng, wearing sunglasses, said.

He was also shaken so hard that he couldn't look straight at him!

"Are you still doing good deeds?"

Zhang Ying was speechless.

"I have always been a very kind person. Are those people under you who are spreading rumors released now?"

Yang Feng said.

"Isn't it a little cruel for you to deceive these elders like this? They are already very old, and they can be regarded as following you, gathering half of the young people in Shanxi for you, and they also provide their own money and food, without costing you a penny.

After doing so much, you still cheated them."

Zhang Ying said.
