Chapter 83 Nationalities
The seeds have been planted.
Li Chengdao took a deep breath, and his face changed from sadness to anger.
"Tell me, are you choosing to be a Tang warrior who defends his dignity with his life, or a slave?! A slave kneeling at the feet of those savage men who eat raw meat and drink blood?!"
After this sentence was put into practice, the entire poetry meeting was completely boiling.
Everyone, not only talented men and beautiful women who have been educated for decades, but also dancers, musicians playing music, and even attendants who serve tea and water. There are hundreds of people. Everyone clenched their fists indignation and let out an angry roar.
"We don't want to be slaves!"
"We must defend our dignity with our lives!"
"Long live the Tang Dynasty! Long live the Tang Dynasty..."
"If you kill the Turks, all the Turks will die!"
"I want to abandon my pen and join the army, I want to kill those beasts!"
...
The whole scene was completely chaotic, and people began to roar with all their might. Before they knew it, the entire venue had been completely mobilized by Li Chengdao.
"We do not fight for slavery! We do not fight for killing! We do fight for dignity! We do fight for the glory of the Tang Dynasty! We are not cows and horses, we are not two-legged sheep, we are humans! We are the Tang people who have never surrendered!"
Li Chengdao stood on the stage, with more than 600 pairs of eyes looking at him at the same time, looking at this young man who didn't even know his name! Even Yan Fu and Wang Tong's eyes were also hot. Although they did not roar like young people, they could see from the figures standing up from the seats, their slightly trembling beards, and their tightly clenched fists that they were also uneasy.
"My compatriots, long live the Tang Dynasty! Long live the people of the Tang Dynasty!"
Lee Chengdao waved his fists hard on the stage, waving his fists as if he was crazy.
"Some of you may want to say: I need a way to survive. A bowl of rice every day is enough. I don't want to care about the Tang Dynasty or the Turks. Those are too far away from us. What I care about is what to eat tonight, where to live, whether it is cold or not, whether it is hungry."
Li Chengdao pointed with red eyes at the singer, musician and servant in the crowd.
"Yes! Your statement is right. Life is full of hardships. It is hard enough to be able to live safely... Life is really important... But I want to tell you! There is another thing in this world that is more important than life, and that is dignity!"
Lee Seung-dao turned to Zhang Erhe, Cheng Dong, Cui Renshi, and all the talented and beautiful women in the field who were dressed in gold and silver.
"And you were born with a golden spoon in your mouth. You don't have to worry about your life at all. But you open your eyes and look at the Turks in Chang'an City, even the Goryeo, Tubo people, Hei Shui Mohe people, Khitan people... How did these barbarians wearing disgusting sheepskin coats and lice look at you from a high point? What's the difference between them seeing you and watching cattle and sheep! This is a shame, a shame to our entire nation."
"As long as the Turkic flags are still flying over Yinshan Mountain for a day, our dignity does not exist! As long as those Turks are domineering on the land of the Tang Dynasty, our dignity does not exist! As long as the territory of the Central Plains, this country called the Tang Dynasty will only be servile, and our dignity does not exist! As long as people from other countries will laugh contemptuously when they talk about the word "Tang" when they talk about it, our dignity does not exist!"
Li Chengdao roared angrily.
"Others bully us, even the weakest nations come to trample on us, bully our people, and plunder our women. We will only shout: We express strong indignation and protest. Such people are boneless! Such people are lowly! We should use the deafening sound of steel swords and horses to make the enemy tremble! We should crush their dignity and life, so that they know that we are not a group of cowards who only know how to protest!"
"You must remember that a country that only knows how to protest is a country without bones! A nation that only knows how to protest is a nation without bones! When our dignity, territory, food, and living space are trampled on, we do not need shameless protests! You will abandon them in the end!"
Li Chengdao was speaking passionately on the stage, but no one noticed that some of his words were already ruthless and his crimes should be punished. As long as he reported to the official, those who said such words could be immediately imprisoned. But at this time, no one could notice these. This is the personal charm of a person. In the atmosphere that has been incited, everyone is one of them. In the torrent, there is no individual. The consciousness of the group will wipe out the consciousness of the individual, and then deeply implant it into the individual's thoughts, making each individual feel that this is right and should be like this. He is thinking so that he does not think about why it is right and where it is right.
"I am very proud, among you people, there are very few people without bones! In front of me is a nation with unyielding blood for thousands of years! This blood once flowed in the blood vessels of our ancestors, and they had never surrendered! Now, they are gushing in our bodies, tell me. Do you want it to cool down??"
"No! No! No!"
Three roars that resounded through the sky, and the crowd was excited. Whether men or women, they waved their hands, blushed, and shouted and waved their fists into the air.
"There is only one thing that can unite people - a common glory. We have great glory carved on the Tang Dynasty's banner, and we will shed our last drop of blood for this glory! In today's Tang Dynasty land, nothing can save our motherland, only this glory carved in our bones!"
"The abrupt alliance is a great shame! We have the determination and reason to refuse to execute it! We will refuse to pay tribute to the Turks! If they want, then step on our bodies first and use the hands of our Tang people's blood to get their spoils."
"Do what you want to do! If you expect to fight, then go fight! Then I, Li Chengdao, can see that you are 16 million slaves or 16 million steadfast Tang men!"
