Chapter 083
The relationship between husband and wife is actually like playing a game.
Some people are good at food and love to play, but some people are addicted to food and have poor skills.
Some people are just the opposite, putting their hands in their pockets and never knowing what an opponent is.
Xiang Hui is exactly this kind of person who is good at food and loves to play, but is addicted to food and has poor skills. The most important thing is that she still gets killed every time.
Less than ten minutes after the battle started, Xiang Hui couldn't hold on anymore: "Did you take medicine?"
"When did you see me take medicine?"
"Then how did you...ouch!"
Xiang Hui was also very curious. Cheng Shijie's physical fitness turned out to be very poor. He would sweat profusely every time, as if he had been washed with water. She reached out to touch Cheng Shijie's forehead and found that Cheng Shijie didn't sweat at all. What's even more strange is that she is now It felt like Cheng Shijie had become a different person.
Xiang Hui subconsciously turned on the bedside lamp.
"What are you doing?"
"I...I...want to...see...who...you...are!"
Xiang Hui saw Cheng Shijie clearly under the light. Although Cheng Shijie had lost a lot of weight, his face shape had also changed drastically. His original double chin had now become a sharp chin.
The face has become smaller, and the eyes have become larger.
Although he begged Hui repeatedly for mercy, Cheng Shijie refused to give in.
When Xiang Hui turned into a ball of mud, a sudden voice sounded: "Mom, you wet the bed..."
Cheng Shijie quickly turned off the lights. The scene at this time was a bit inappropriate for children.
Xiang Hui couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground to get in.
Cheng Shijie picked up the quilt, covered his head, and pretended to snore.
Cheng Jiayue lowered her voice: "Shh...sh, mom, I won't tell dad that you wet the bed. Tomorrow, you will say that it was Jiayue who wet the bed..."
Xiang Hui felt that her face was hot, and she stretched out her hand to twist Cheng Shijie's flesh hard.
Not to mention, when she was obese, she couldn't twist the fat on Cheng Shijie's body at all. As the fat on Cheng Shijie's body decreased, the skin became loose, so it was easier to twist it.
"hiss……"
Cheng Shijie was in pain and said hurriedly: "Stop, stop, let me tell you something!"
"Say it!"
"Honey, I can run to tomorrow morning!"
"Six hundred years ago?"
"No, it was more than three hundred years ago!"
"What are you doing in the Ming Dynasty? Become the emperor and sit on the throne?"
Xiang Hui simply didn't believe a word Cheng Shijie said now: "Are you having a big dream in the Spring and Autumn Period?"
"I'm serious. Now I'm in the Chongzhen Dynasty of the Ming Dynasty and I'm the deputy commander-in-chief of the Ning Navy!"
"Hey, deputy commander-in-chief, how big an officer is this?"
"From the second level of martial arts!"
"Then did you marry three wives and four concubines in the Ming Dynasty?"
"Three wives and four concubines, we have to talk about this. There have never been three wives and four concubines in ancient China. Even the emperor recorded in the Book of Rites had six palaces, three wives, nine concubines, twenty-seven wives, and eighty-one royal wives. , but there will always be only one wife and husband!"
Cheng Shijie decided to do some popular science for Xiang Hui: "According to the Ming Dynasty, officials and citizens must be over forty and childless before they can take concubines. Violators will be punished with a cane of forty. However, the social sanitary conditions at that time were poor and babies were prone to die. Therefore, this law is not enforced, and it is a tacit attitude. Just like motorcycles, they cannot enter the city, but outside the city, farmers can still drive them and buy and sell them freely!"
Xiang Hui hugged Cheng Jiayue and said, "How many concubines have you taken? Do you want to give up your seat in my big house?"
"It is a grave sin to spoil your concubine and destroy your wife!"
"Hurry up and take in concubines, preferably four. They all have to listen to me. One does laundry, one cooks, one cleans, and one takes care of the children..."
Cheng Shijie said: "I'm serious..."
As a result, when I looked at Hui again, she was already asleep.
"I'm serious, why don't you believe it?"
Cheng Shijie thought for a while, as long as he is a person with higher education, even a junior college is barely considered higher education, he should not believe himself. No, he must bring evidence! "
Cheng Shijie decided to bring a digital camera, record a video of the Ming Dynasty, and bring back some gold.
Cheng Shijie was no longer sleepy. As he lost weight, his energy was getting better and better. Cheng Shijie got up, put on his clothes, came to the living room, turned on the computer, and searched for how to solve the problem of military power. This search didn't matter, it really made him happy. Cheng Shijie discovered the controllability of a network.
In "I Have an Apartment in the Late Ming Dynasty", the author Jun writes about how to control military power. There are three main issues. In order to prevent officers at all levels from working together, the protagonist set up a bank to deposit all soldiers' military pay into a personal bank. In the account, soldiers can take their own bankbooks and go to the bank to withdraw money themselves.
In this way, no matter how much money soldiers can get every month, officers and officers will no longer be able to embezzle.
Furthermore, the Soldiers Committee was established. This is an organization composed purely of soldiers. It is established within the entire army and is responsible for supervising whether officers have neglected their duties and whether they have surrendered to the enemy. Supervision alone is not enough. A Military Justice Department has also been established to be responsible for dual supervision.
Finally, a system of guidance, instruction, and supervisors was established, which was like a political commissar system responsible for supervision. This way, officers could avoid disloyalty.
In Cheng Shijie's view, this is actually the author's wishful thinking. In fact, it is not feasible. It does not mean that setting up a position can play a supervisory role. The main thing is people, and everyone has selfish motives.
So how to solve this problem? In fact, later on, the author asked the protagonist to establish the Industrial Party. Seeing this, Cheng Shijie understood that the party's experience and lessons are thought-provoking and have reference significance.
Cheng Shijie decided to buy a few computers first and use them to manage Ning Haijun's military pay distribution work. However, the bank's operating system was not efficient. This is set up deliberately by the bank in order to appear to have a large number of people in its branches. Anyone who has been to a bank to handle business knows how troublesome it is to handle a small matter.
Complicating simple problems is an unspoken rule in China's insurance, banking and financial industries. After working for a long time, Cheng Shijie fell asleep on the sofa unknowingly. When he woke up again, he found that his face was itchy.
When Cheng Shijie opened his eyes, he found Cheng Jiayue holding a watercolor pen and painting on his face.
"Jiayue!"
"ah……"
Cheng Jiayue got off the sofa and ran towards the bedroom with her short legs. Cheng Shijie was afraid that Cheng Jiayue would fall, so he did not chase her.
Cheng Shijie came to the bathroom mirror and found that his face had been smeared into the shape of a tabby cat. He quickly took the soap and began to rub his face vigorously.
At this time, Xiang Hui walked into the bathroom and took away the mop: "Master General, why don't you become the emperor? There are nine concubines and seventy-two concubines in the three palaces, six courtyards..."
Cheng Shijie said seriously: "Being an emperor is not too difficult for me."
"Hmph, then when I see you, do I have to call you the Emperor? Is that polite of me, my concubine?"
"That's a term only used by Tatars!"
Cheng Shijie said: "Da Ming, I don't like to be called that..."
"Do you really think of yourself as an emperor?"
Xiang Hui said: "Then... bring your eunuchs and maids over and clean your palace. I have never seen such a shabby palace..."
"All right!"
Cheng Shijie did not lose his temper with Xiang Hui. After breakfast, Cheng Jialong went to school by himself, and the family of three went to the scrap collection station. When they arrived at the scrap collection station, there were actually several electric three-wheelers lining up at the door, ready to go. Sell junk.
Xiang Hui got busy, while Cheng Jiayue greeted a familiar buyer.
Everything is so harmonious.
Cheng Shijie saw a scattered car radio in the waste collection yard and asked Jiang Wenhua: "Uncle Wenhua, can this radio be used?"
"I haven't read it yet, I'll tell you later!"
"Recently, a collector is buying radio stations. Please tell these scrap collectors and let them pay attention. The other party is offering two thousand yuan. If there is a price increase, we will also have it!"
"Can this crap thing be worth so much?"
“We don’t understand the world of rich people!”
Cheng Shijie is very helpless. Recently, there seems to be a severe crackdown on the Internet. Many things cannot be purchased. Outdoor products are very easy to buy. Not to mention crossbows, bows, stun devices and other armors, stab-resistant clothing and night vision devices have all been removed from the shelves.
Now we can only find solutions among the scraps. Many people think that it is easy to do anything. In fact, when there is no money and no connections, Cheng Shijie does not dare to sell antiques. In fact, very few Chinese antiques are passed down from family. Ninety-nine of the sources are from tomb robbing.
The transaction of antiques, calligraphy and paintings without collection procedures was being reported every minute. When Cheng Shijie was selling gold, he was always in other places, looking for less formal gold shops to buy it. The other party's buttocks were dirty, so he didn't dare. Play black.
Cheng Shijie got two antique-style clocks from the scrap collection station. After repair, they can still run. It doesn't matter whether the time is accurate. With these two clocks, he should be able to sell them for a lot of money.
The most important thing is that Cheng Shijie is no longer short of money. Before Kong Youde died, he gave him a total of 1.24 million taels of silver from the large gentry houses he robbed, as well as those seized from Li Jiucheng and Li Yingyuan, as well as a More than 2 million taels of silver were found on more than 10,000 prisoners. However, these broken pieces of silver, or silver chopped with axes, needed to be recast, but according to speculation, it should be no less than 3 million taels of silver.
In other words, Cheng Shijie had more than four million taels of silver alone in his hands. Adding in the bribes paid by the gentry in Zhaoyuan County and the valuable property seized by Ning Haijun from Lou Jian's command, the total amount exceeded five million taels. With the capture of the Zhang family in Shanglaiyang, Cheng Shijie now has nominally one year's treasury income of the Chongzhen Dynasty, or in other words, one year's Liao pay.
With more than one million stones of grain and more than six million taels of silver, there are too many things Cheng Shijie can do.
The current Ning Navy has also developed greatly because of this battlefield. First, more than 1,200 surviving cavalry from Kong Youde's department surrendered, plus the cavalry from Li Jiucheng and Li Yingyuan's department, a total of more than 2,400 cavalry. Although The quality of this cavalry was uneven, and the equipment was uneven. However, Ning Haijun, a pure infantry force, finally made up for the last shortcoming, and the cavalry force finally existed.
The current Ning Navy is composed of eight arms including navy, cavalry, infantry, chariot troops (baggage troops), as well as crossbowmen, pikemen, artillery, and muskets. It can also be said that the current Ning Navy is on the Shanghai Sea. Naval battles can be carried out, and cavalry battles can be carried out on the grasslands, not to mention infantry.
However, with the increase in arms types and strength, ideological education work has become urgent.
In Ninghai City, at this time, Chen Guodong had led more than a thousand troops from Ninghai's former commander-in-chief two days ago, escorting more than 600 members of the Laiyang Zhang family, plus his senior and junior stewards, a total of more than 300 people. Thousands of people escorted a large amount of seized property, food, and cloth to Ninghai City.
However, due to the employment of common people, a large amount of food was consumed. When the food was transported to Ninghai City, there were only more than 230,000 dan left, which meant that nearly 60,000 dan of food had been consumed on the road.
It wasn't until Chen Guodong came to Ninghai City that he realized that Cheng Shijie had actually reached a reconciliation with Sun Yuanhua. Ning Haijun was not a rebel, nor was he a rebel. It was the Dengzhou Army that rebelled. Chen Guodong felt that his head was as big as a bucket.
But the problem is that now he has no one to discuss with him. Changyu has gone with Cheng Shijie to attack Youde, Shen Mingyu and Song Xiance have gone to attack Liaonan, but he is even more confused.
In desperation, Chen Guodong had no choice but to go to the backyard of Ning Haijun Guard Yamen and find Yang Yunniang to discuss countermeasures.
"Yun Niang, have I caused a big trouble for you?"
Yang Yunniang shook her head: "It's okay. Someone is taking the blame anyway. What are you afraid of?"
"I'm not afraid of death or pain, I'm just afraid of causing trouble for adults!"
Chen Guodong smiled bitterly and said: "Since I was a child, except for my father, my mother, and my brother, no one else has been kind to me. It was Mr. Cheng who rescued me from the dead. My life is... "
"Your life is yours, no one can take it from you!"
Cheng Shijie came back and saw Chen Guodong in despair, so he interrupted: "I saved you, not to repay you. I heard that you angered the Dengzhou Army by rescuing the people of Liaodong and were sentenced to death. This is your destiny, and it’s also because you did the right thing!”
"My lord, it was my fault. I misjudged your lord. I offended the Laiyang Zhang family. I am willing to apologize to them. As long as your lord is fine, I will die without regrets!"
"This is serious. The Zhang family in Laiyang are just pigs and dogs riding on the heads of the people. Apart from relying on the power of their ancestors and exploiting the people to enrich themselves, these people can do nothing. They can only bribe. Corrupt officials try to show off their authority in front of the people, but who do they think they are?"
"Don't say you didn't kill them. Even if you did, just kill them. What does it matter?"
Cheng Shijie smiled and said: "It's good to copy the Zhang family in Laiyang. Don't say you copied it. Even if you didn't copy it, I still want to copy it. Now go outside and take a look. People freeze to death and starve to death almost every day. But those gentry and powerful people, I have long wanted to kill them."
This time Kong Youde rebelled, and what he did was even more shocking. A foreigner in Shandong, without any foundation, just raises his arms and calls out, and there are thousands of followers.
This shows that the people of Shandong have been suffering from the powerful gentry above them for a long time. The people were on the verge of an explosion. Even if there was no Kong Youde, there might be Li Youde, Chen Youde, or Cheng Youde.
"Okay, let's talk about this later. Now, call everyone together, including hundreds of households in the field, officers above Ning's naval sentry commander, and the cavalry sentry commander.
Cheng Shijie temporarily concentrated all the prisoners in Ninghai City. There were more than 13,000 prisoners, plus their own family members they had recovered, there were more than 40,000 people.
Cheng Shijie temporarily organized these prisoners into 130 100-household stations, adding to the original 69 100-household stations of the Ning Navy, for a total of 196 100-household stations, totaling more than 68,000 people.
These one hundred and ninety-six rural settlements are ranked from Hundred Household No. 001 to Hundred Household No. 196. Numbers 01 to 69 are those who joined the former Ninghai navy military households or refugees, and numbers 070 to 157 Between them, a total of eighty-eight hundred households were involved in the rebels of Kong Youde and Li Jiucheng. However, after screening, it was found that these people did not kill anyone. No matter they were gentry or common people, their knives were not stained with blood.
Starting from No. 158 to No. 196, all of them had killed people. Depending on their crimes, some had three years of labor reform, and some had fifteen years. Starting from No. 183 to No. 196, Those are all bastards who can be beheaded directly, because they only killed the gentry and powerful people and could avoid death. As for the rebel prisoners who massacred the common people, they are not included in this list. They have become Ning Haijun's decapitation achievements.
Ning Haijun's division of labor had already begun when Cheng Shijie served as Dengzhou Guard Zuo Qianhu. When Cheng Shijie walked to Zuo Qianhu's post, he looked at the ragged and skinny guardsmen. They were worse than beggars. , they haven’t touched a hoe as much as they have swords and guns, so it would be a joke to let them go to war.
Therefore, Cheng Shijie recruited young men to serve as house soldiers and exist as fighting soldiers, while ordinary military households existed as field soldiers. The field soldiers were called soldiers, but they were actually just farmers farming the land. The two sides do not interfere with each other and live in peace. Generally speaking, when a military meeting of Ning Haijun is convened, military households in the field will not be convened.
The highest establishment of the army in the field is 100 households in the field. Each of the 100 households is composed of 100 households, not 100 people. If you are a single person, you will form a separate household. Women, if they are widowed and have no children, will also form a matchmaker to help them choose a son-in-law and get them married in the traditional way.
However, the current life of the military households in the field has not changed much. After all, the hundreds of households in the farming villages rely on them to work to earn food rations, which can barely guarantee that they will not starve to death.
"Meet the Marshal!"
"sit down!"
Cheng Shijie looked at the densely packed army of officers or hundreds of households in the fields in front of him. He coughed. If it weren't for the four large speakers, his speech would not be heard clearly by the people below.
"Let me tell you, everyone may have heard that I am going to Liaonan soon. This is not a rumor, this is a fact. I will leave in three days at most. It is possible that I will not come back within three to five years. . Therefore, everything between Ninghaicheng and Ninghaijun will be given up. It is fate that we all meet each other. Going to Liaonan is on the principle of voluntariness. If you want to go, you can go. If you don’t want to go, then don’t force it. After all, Liaonan There are many dangers. If everyone is afraid, if you are willing, I will ask you to count how many people are willing to go and how many people are willing to stay. Are you hundreds of households ready?"
"Report!"
"Originally, twenty-three households in our 100-household office were unwilling to go, but according to the humble post, the qualifications for reclamation in the Ninghai Navy have been canceled by the governor, and they will follow the commander to Liaonan again!"
"Report!"
Cheng Shijie looked at the position of the hundred households, relatively far back, and said: "You are different from them. They are rebelling. You are forced to perform labor reform, and you must atone for your sins with your hands!"
"Report!"
"speak!"
"Commander, can we finish the New Year? It would be great to go to Liaonan after the New Year!"
"That's right. Now that we have passed, the weather is cold, we have no food, and no shelter. How will we survive this winter!"
Cheng Shijie pointed at the map and said: "That's good. When spring comes next year and the weather is warm, we can open up wasteland in the past. It will be so comfortable. But are Jiannu a fool? Will they sit back and watch us open up wasteland? Impossible. Jiannu will never sit back and watch. They will definitely not sit idly by and ignore it, but will do whatever it takes to destroy our spring plowing and make it impossible for us to gain a foothold in southern Liaoning."
Everyone suddenly realized.
Now Cheng Shijie wants to compete with Jiannu for time, lead the migrating people there, and build fortifications while gaining a firm foothold. There were three reasons why he had to plan ahead.
First of all, the first point is that the military households in these military camps are in poor physical condition and need to be fed. Ninghai City is too far from the sea, so transporting food by land will consume part of it.
Secondly, the Navy's transportation capabilities are limited. There are more than three hundred large and small warships, which sounds like a lot, but the problem is that warships are different from transport ships. In order to pursue speed and improve defense capabilities, warships can only carry limited personnel and materials. With the transportation capacity of the Dengzhou Navy, it can barely transport more than 10,000 people, but it can only transport 5,000 to 8,000 civilians.
Some people may wonder why there are more transport troops than civilians?
This is mainly because this is migration, not a simple journey. If it's a simple trip, it's not a problem to pack fifteen thousand people into the cabin like a sardine can. However, as the saying goes, a broken family is worth a thousand dollars.
When people move with their families, they will take all the valuable and worthless things at home, including pots and jars, water jars and even jars for pickling vegetables, because if they don't, they will take them with them. It’s no use. Since then, the number of people transported has been much smaller.
With the current number of people in the field army, there are also a considerable number of cattle, seeds, various farming implements, factory equipment, equipment, and various tools. With the capabilities of the Ning navy, continuous transportation is required. Finally, the sailing ships of this era, unlike the ships of later generations, could continuously operate at full capacity.
Although wooden sailboats do not need to burn oil, they need to be repaired after each voyage, repairing leaking parts, and replacing damaged wood. It is complicated.
Even under the best of circumstances, the relocation of existing military units and factories will take more than two months.
"Report!"
"speak!"
"Commander, when we arrive in southern Liaoning, it's freezing cold. Where should we stay?"
In such cold weather, it is difficult to live in a tent. Even if a stove is lit, the tent cannot keep the temperature.
Cheng Shijie took a piece of chalk and drew a simple graphic on the blackboard behind him: "All our people, when we arrive in southern Liaoning, will still live in such dens for the time being!"
Diwozi is a very pragmatic invention. At that time, the Construction Corps had no barracks, but no time to build houses. The climate in XJ is even weirder than that in Liaodong. Snowing in September in the Gregorian calendar is normal, Hu Tianba The moon is snowing, which is not an exaggerated description.
Cheng Shijie continued: "When we arrived in southern Liaoning, the people working in the fields dug a nest like this on a household basis. It was eight long, three wide, and two high, and it was enough to accommodate a family. If you move quickly, it will take most of a day. You can dig it in as little time as you need!”
"But the ground is frozen solid, making it difficult to dig!"
"You can light a fire first to soften the frozen soil, and then dig!"
Cheng Shijie first explained the food, housing, and how to build fortifications for the soldiers and civilians who moved to southern Liaoning to prepare for spring plowing. After that, Ning Haijun's officers took the Jinzhou Guard. Jinzhou Acropolis should rule to surpass Ning Haijun's thousand-household guard. After all, Ning Haijun is just a city of thousands of households, while Jinzhou Guard is a guard city.
After introducing the matter of moving to southern Liaoning, Cheng Shijie wrote on the blackboard: "What are the responsibilities of soldiers? Whose food do we eat, who do we fight for, and why do we fight!"
Since Cheng Shijie saw Kong Youde, he clearly wanted to avenge his brother, but he could only lead his own troops. He could not command all the rebel soldiers.
In fact, in essence, Kong Youde's rebels and Ning Haijun soldiers are the same. They are all tied together by interests. As long as interests come first, everyone will consider interests first. There are two groups of enemies, one strong and one weak. Most of them want to deal with the weak enemies, but are not willing to face the strong enemies.
This is human nature. Just when Lou Jian's entire army was wiped out and he saw the power of Ning Haijun, Li Jiuzheng's choice was to continue attacking the landlords and powerful estates, grabbing food, money, and women.
It is also human nature to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages.
When Cheng Shijie wrote these four sentences on the blackboard, the literate officers raised their hands one after another.
"Report!"
This is a sentry commander in Kong Youde's rebel cavalry. His surname is Li and Datou. This is not his stamp number, but his real name. It should be that when he was born, he was malnourished and turned into a big-headed baby.
"Li Datou, tell me!"
Li Datou stood up and said: "We are soldiers who want to protect the villagers. We eat the food of Marshal Cheng, so naturally we have to fight for Marshal Cheng. Whoever Marshal Cheng wants to fight, I, Datou Li, am absolutely unambiguous. If I frown, I will call him My heart has been pierced by thousands of arrows, and I will not die a happy death!"
Cheng Shijie believed that Li Datou was sincere, at least what he said was his true thoughts. A meal of brown rice would be able to bring all the rebel prisoners under Lou Jian's command home. As for Ning Haijun's more than 2,400 cavalry, weeding out the old and weak After becoming disabled, the establishment was divided into two generals. Like the regular soldiers of the Ning Haijun Army, they have unlimited food, enjoy all the welfare benefits of the Ning Haijun Army, and enjoy military pay of one to two or eight coins.
Although this treatment is not as good as that of the servants of the Guan Ning Army, it is much better than that of the Dongjiang Army. They can at least be clothed warmly and well fed.
Cheng Shijie said: "Li Datou, you are right, but you are also wrong. As a soldier, it is natural to protect the weak and the people, because I don't hold a hoe, nor do I plant the land. I can't grow a grain of food, nor can I make anything." A piece of clothing, the military uniform you are wearing, the shoes on your feet, and the food you eat every day are all grown by the common people. What really feeds us soldiers are the farmers who hold hoes and face the loess with their backs to the sky. !”
In fact, when Cheng Shijie first started, he learned Yuan Datou's small station training method, using repeated brainwashing and mental suggestion similar to later generations of pyramid schemes, so that the soldiers formed a habitual thinking and fought for Yuan Shikai.
But the problem is that Yuan Shikai did not succeed. He was a loser. The Beiyang Army under his command was very capable of fighting. The army formed based on the six towns of Beiyang was the best in the country at that time, and even Sun Yat-sen could not defeat it. Temper, why give way? That's because I really can't beat him.
Although there are various jokes and articles about the Beiyang Army in later forums, during Yuan Shikai's period, the Beiyang Army was just like the Dongjiang Army during Mao Wenlong's period, united and strong in combat effectiveness. After Yuan Shikai's death, Beiyang fell into division, forming the Fengcian, Anhui, and Zhili cliques.
Cheng Shijie firmly believed that such an army with interests as its bond and criterion could not withstand being coaxed. As long as Sun Yuanhua and the court were freed up, with silver in one hand and officers and titles in the other, Ning Haijun would not say 100% Yes, it is certain that someone will be tempted.
The biggest difference between humans and animals is not that humans can use tools. Gorillas also use tools. The difference between humans and animals is that humans can think.
Cheng Shijie looked at the crowd and said: "Many of you are from the Dongjiang Army, and people from the Dongjiang Army have a hatred for destroying their families and annihilating their clans. At that time, the imperial court set up twenty-five guards in Liaodong. The 112,128 people who faced the sharp offensive of the Jiannu were so frightened that they turned and ran away. They must have never thought that they could run away, but their families, relatives and friends could not. The iron heel of Jiannu, then I would like to ask everyone, if you have another chance to do it again, will you still run?"
Li Datou's eyes turned scarlet, and his face became ferocious: "If you don't run away, I will fight with Jiannu. Kill one to earn enough money, kill two to earn one..."
"Don't run!"
"Why did those Liao soldiers escape in the first place?"
"Because...the official ran away!"
Cheng Shijie said: "Officials can run away, but you can't run away. Where are their official homes? Their homes are not in Liaodong, and their wives and daughters are not in Liaodong. They can indeed run away from the attacks of Jiannu. If they are within range, they will be safe, but the Liao soldiers cannot run away. Brothers, behind you is your home and your relatives. It is foolish to give your back to the enemy. It is foolish to give up your relatives and home. To give to the enemy is the folly of follies!”
At this moment, there was a cry among the Ning Navy officers.
"Commander, I want to become a slave with you..."
"And I……"
"I'll never run away again!"
"If the ball is dead, the ball is dead!"
"The problem is back to where it started!"
Cheng Shijie asked: "What are the responsibilities of a soldier?"
"fighting!"
"Li Datou is right this time, fight!"
Cheng Shijie solemnly said: "The duty of a soldier is to fight, to fight to the end. Only to fight, only to use the flesh and blood of us iron-blooded men to block the iron hooves of slave builders, only to use the faith and will of us warriors to build a flesh-and-blood Great Wall , Only if we use our swords and guns to stop the slaves who wantonly kill our relatives, only if we stop those beasts and beasts, can we protect our wives, daughters and sisters from being raped, protect our property, and protect our Home, protect our house, protect everything we have!”
Cheng Shijie's words caused everyone present to think deeply.
That's right, why was the Dongjiang Army despised everywhere when it came to Shandong?
Why do they encounter countless unfair treatments in Shandong?
Why were they looked down upon and ignored in Shandong?
The answer is that they are not soldiers, they are not qualified soldiers, and they have not fulfilled their obligations as soldiers.
During the Dongjiang Army in Mao Wenlong's era, they were the patron saints of millions of Liao people. Mao Wenlong led them to kill Jiannu because the people of Liaodong at that time believed that as long as Mao Wenlong and the Dongjiang Army were there, they would be able to live a stable life.
During the eight years since Mao Wenlong opened the town, the court paid a total of less than 800,000 taels of silver and 192,000 shi of grain to the Dongjiang Army.
Mao Wenlong falsely reported the number of troops in order to defraud the imperial court of some food, so that the Liao people who had finally survived from the hands of the slaves could starve to death.
However, the problem is that they, the officers, sat back and watched Mao Wenlong be killed, and personally caused the current bitter consequences.
"Only we can stop the slave establishment and protect our fellow villagers. Only we can use our actual actions to make the people believe that as long as we are around, their peaceful days will not be disturbed by these beasts. As long as we are around, Now, southern Liaoning will no longer be a paradise for slaves to plunder and ravage wantonly."
Cheng Shijie said seriously: "Only in this way will the common people support us. Only in this way will the governor look down upon us and admit that we are the defenders of southern Liaoning and a great wall against slave construction. Only in this way will the governor look down upon us." , the imperial court will consider using us to guard Liaonan... because we are more useful than others."
Ning Haijun's officer's eyes flashed with eagerness.
Cheng Shijie continued: "Li Shimin, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, once said that the king is the boat and the people are the water. Water can carry the boat or capsize it. The people of Shandong have taught you a lesson with facts. If they don't cooperate, you will lose your shit." Those who cannot afford to be greeted, this is the power of the people. Don't think that just because you are powerful with a knife, you can do whatever you want. This is wrong. The human heart is the most critical thing at any time. The human heart is like a knife and a gun. It is strength, and the human heart is the most powerful weapon to defeat the slaves..."
Cheng Shijie's long speech caused Ning Haijun's hundreds of households and officers to think deeply. If it were three months ago, no one would believe Cheng Shijie's words.
No, no one believed it even half a month ago. However, as Cheng Shijie led Ning Haijun to put down Kong Youde's rebellion, he did not harm the people along the way.
Although Cheng Shijie was not a good person, he did not spit out any of the money, grain, or cloth he seized from the rebels, but it did not hinder him, and the people greeted him.
This is very convincing.
Now Cheng Shijie and Ning Haijun can give the people of Shandong a long-lost sense of security.
PS: I can’t accept it anymore. Yesterday I planned to write 8,000 words before twelve o’clock. As a result, around eleven o’clock, Lao Cheng fell asleep instantly. This is just an elegant way of saying coma. My computer desk is in the bedroom, one meter away. Outside is the bed. Because I live alone, no one notices me, so I lie there until I wake up around five in the morning. The next chapter can only depend on the situation.
