"I know very well that you are all helpless thieves."
On the school field, Chen Wang could see everyone's expressions.
Chen Wang did not ask the recruiting officer to force the recruitment of soldiers, but set conditions for recruiting only those who volunteered in each battalion.
"I will send people to the resettlement camp in Sanshui City to find your family members."
The melons that are forced are not sweet, and the soldiers who are forced to conscript will inevitably have resentment in their hearts.
This resentment should not appear in the new army, and no one knows when this resentment will break out.
The most basic conditions offered by Chen Wang were one or two dollars per month.
As long as you are selected, the first month's salary will be paid directly to you by the recruiting officer.
After three months, the money will be calculated according to the school level. If an ordinary soldier reaches the highest level, he can get two and a half taels of silver in a month.
The second is that if there are family members in the old and weak camp of the Chuang Army, people will be sent to find the separated family members.
If it is still alive, you can send it grain and rice to ensure its basic safety.
On the school field, many people's eyes were no longer just numb, but had a little more energy.
Many of them were already disheartened.
But the recruiting officers who walked into the camp gave them hope.
Although many people do not believe in the second condition.
But for them, this is the last and only hope.
Chen Wang knew the psychology of these people very well, but he did not write a blank check.
He registered everyone's name, including household registration, and where they lived, so that everyone in the family could remember them clearly.
Chen Wang specifically asked Zuo Liangyu about Sanshui's current situation.
Pizhou has sent officials to manage the old and weak people currently stranded in Sanshui.
There are only 30,000 to 40,000 old and weak people outside Sanshui City, and it will not take long for the resettlement and relocation to be completed.
At that time, you only need to follow the index of the household registration and conduct house-to-house checks to find the person.
Of course, the premise of all this is that there are indeed no errors or omissions in the information.
When the order comes down, you will definitely pass by Sanshui when you go to Ningzhou.
When there is free time, these recruits and their families can reunite for a few days.
One is the desire to gather troops.
The second is Wu Lixin who is in the army.
Be trustworthy.
The imperial court's credit is almost used in Shaanxi.
"I know very well what happened in Shaanxi. Liaodong has also suffered disasters, and has suffered from famine for many years."
"The famine continues, but the taxes and corvee have not stopped."
"I, Chen Wang, am just a warrior."
"There is nothing I can do in Liaodong, and there is nothing I can do in Shaanxi. There is really nothing I can do."
Chen Wang raised his voice slightly, clenched his fists, and knocked heavily on the podium in front of him.
A huge roar was heard through the loudspeaker, and everyone's attention was drawn to it.
"There is nothing you can do!"
Chen Wang raised his voice and repeated the four words "powerless" he said before.
These four words are not difficult to understand.
"We are all the same. When faced with natural or man-made disasters, we all have no choice."
Chen Wang stopped talking about you, but instead used "we" as a pronoun, putting himself in the collective concept. ….
On the school grounds, the numb faces of many soldiers were a little more touched.
Shaanxi has suffered from severe droughts for consecutive years, but the people of Shaanxi did not have the food to wait for disaster relief. What they were waiting for was one letter after another of additional levy documents.
In the first year of Chongzhen, there was a famine in Shaanxi, and the people of Yan and Gong gathered together as bandits. There was no rain for a year, and the vegetation withered.
In the second year of Chongzhen, there was a severe drought in northern Shaanxi. In Yan'an Prefecture and County, people died of hunger and people ate each other.
In the third year of Chongzhen, there was another severe drought in northern Shaanxi. There was no harvest of rice in summer and autumn. There was a drought in Qin Dynasty for consecutive years. There was a severe famine in Qingjian.
Hungry for the whole year.
The famine continues and spreads, and relief is delayed.
A large number of people and soldiers could only leave their homes and join the bandits to cause trouble.
The interior of Shaanxi has been peaceful for a long time, but suddenly there is a shortage of war, people have no solid will, and chaos breaks out.
The person who lit the first fire was not a hero, he was just an ordinary person.
His name is also very common, his name is Wang Er.
The civil uprising initiated by Wang Er in Baishui was like a spark falling on the dry grass, instantly igniting the dry grass.
In an instant, the fire became a prairie fire, sweeping across the entire Shaanxi province overnight.
"Everyone here has their own experience and is going through different hardships."
“It is difficult to count the people who have lost their wives and children, and whose families have been destroyed.”
Chen Wang raised his right hand, clenched it into a fist, and said loudly.
"Many people say that destiny is determined by God and there is nothing you can do about it. It is destiny!"
"But I never believe that!"
Chen Wang stopped speaking, and his eyes slowly glanced over the soldiers on the school field.
"The most painful thing in the world is being powerless."
"I watched everything happen, but I was powerless, there was nothing I could do..."
Many people on the school grounds showed pain in their eyes.
Chen Wang's words were like sharp blades, piercing the deepest scars in their hearts and uncovering their painful memories.
There are constant natural and man-made disasters, corrupt officials are rampant, and the gentry are powerful and overbearing.
With my face facing the loess and my back turned to the sky, I still have to work in the fields under the scorching sun.
Even if you are exposed to the scorching sun until your skin is cracked and your flesh is cracked, you can't show any signs of neglect.
Day after day, year after year, don’t dare to neglect for a moment.
The hemp rope will break at the thinnest part, and the bad luck will only seek out the misfortune.
They did not wait for life to get better, but instead waited for the waves of bandits to come.
The meager results gained from years of hard work were burned to the ground, and it was even difficult to save one's life.
There are more than three hundred days in a year, and I dare not take a day off.
After finally collecting the grain, if you want to pay the tax, you have to find a grain merchant to convert it into silver before you can pay the tax.
Those grain merchants used the "official name" to buy, and the "official name" was much larger than the official name. The original one stone of grain became as low as seven dou after being weighed.
Grain merchants charge one stone of grain at the price of seven dou.
When buying rice, the grain merchants used the saying that when selling rice, they could only buy seven or eight buckets of rice for one stone of grain.
The corvee and taxes were like a mountain on their shoulders.
"I, Chen Wang, have come all the way to this day, and I only understand one truth, a very obvious and simple truth."….
Chen Wang clenched his fist and lowered the hammer, knocking on the podium in front of him again.
The dull knocking sound was like a heavy hammer, hitting the chests of the soldiers on the school field.
"Everything in this world, everything, everything comes by striving for it, there is no waiting for it."
"If you don't fight, if you don't fight, if you just wait."
"Then in the future, there will still be countless helpless moments waiting ahead."
"Before, you had no choice."
Chen Wang lowered his voice and said in a deep voice.
"But now everything has changed."
"You are no longer farmers, you are no longer laborers, you are now camp soldiers."
"You will no longer hold hoes and farm tools in your hands; you will hold spears and swords in your hands."
"No one can bully you at will anymore. Every comrade on the school field has your backing, including me!"
Chen Wang looked around at the people on the school ground and said solemnly.
"I take all the credit for all your achievements.
It won't be ignored. "
"I will not always be just a guerrilla, and similarly, you will not always be just an ordinary soldier."
"In the future, you can also become captains, flag commanders, hundred commanders, commander commanders, thousand commanders, or even lead a guerrilla battalion like me!"
…
Watching the sun gradually setting in the west, Chen Wang's heart gradually sank, and slowly returned to calm.
What Bai Ri said was just an introduction, and Chen Wang knew the effect of Bai Ri's preaching.
It is undoubtedly extremely difficult to change and reverse people's concepts with just one word.
In fact, everything he said was just to arouse the fighting spirit in the hearts of the recruits and plant a seed in everyone's hearts.
What can really change his mind is the next attack.
In this era, many people don't care when talking about country, nation, and righteousness.
Because it is very difficult for them to even live. They know honor and disgrace if they have enough food and clothing, and know etiquette if they have enough food and clothing.
Country, nation, and great righteousness are too far away and too vain.
Happy lives are mostly the same, but unhappy lives have their own miseries.
The same experiences and different sufferings can most move people's hearts, making them feel the same and share the same hatred and hatred.
Most of these recruits were Sanshui and Zhenning, as well as villagers around Ningzhou who had been kidnapped by thieves.
They are basically farmers and workers. They are at the lowest level in feudal society and have always been the targets of exploitation and oppression.
In normal years, we can barely survive, but in years of famine and disaster, we can barely survive.
When there was no food to eat, one had to borrow it from the landlord, one dou in spring and three liters in autumn.
If you can't repay the debt, you can only continue to owe it. To put it bluntly, it is usury.
Many people were forced to have no choice but to sell their children and daughters to beg for money elsewhere.
On weekdays, many of them have already been bullied.
And when the bandits arrived, they were forcibly taken into the camp.
They were organized into hungry soldiers, who were the first to fight and were used as cannon fodder. Their survival was precarious.
In the camp, the lights gradually lit up.
The darkness of night is scary and makes people more emotional. ….
Chen Wang stood on the observation deck, overlooking the camp.
Two thousand seven hundred people, a total of six divisions of soldiers, are all in their respective stations.
Chen Wang sent a total of six people to preach, and they went to every department.
There aren't many people around him right now that he can use.
But six people are enough to do this.
All they need to do is guide and guide the soldiers below to tell them about the sufferings they have suffered.
The vast majority of ordinary farmers have been bullied and insulted by landlords to one degree or another, and have been involved in the wave of bandits. The war has caused them to lose everything.
At first, there were only a few sounds coming from the camp from not far away.
Then as time passed, the sound became louder and louder.
From the observation deck, Chen Wang could clearly see that many recruits in the camp were beginning to become excited.
The noise that originally came was mixed with crying.
Chen Wang did not panic, but the guards around him all looked extremely nervous and held swords in their hands.
In their opinion, this is a precursor to the roar of the camp.
Chen Wang just raised his hand and stopped the actions of the surrounding guards. All this was expected.
This was not a sign of Yingxiao, as Chen Wang knew very well.
And even if it is really Yingxiao, there won't be any big commotion.
There is not even a larger stone to be found in the military camp here, and these new recruits have no access to any weapons.
At the same time, the crying in the camp was getting louder and louder, covering up all other sounds. .
