At this time, another night wind blew, bringing again the smell of wine and meat from the cavalry camp.
"Hungry...gu..."
Or maybe it was the smell of wine and meat that made Li Yuchun's stomach scream again.
"Uncle, I want to eat wine and meat." Li Yuchun couldn't help but said while looking at the cold rice ball wrapped in wrinkled paper in his hand.
"Gouzi, don't think about it. I also want to drink wine and eat meat." Li Sangui reached out and patted Li Yuchun on the head and said while looking at the bustling Eight Banners Cavalry camp.
"So stop thinking nonsense. Who makes our fate bad, that we are born Han? The Qing Dynasty is dominated by the Manchus, so naturally the Manchus are much better than us Hans."
Hearing this, Li Yuchun couldn't help but look at the cold rice ball in his hand, and then looked at the Eight Banners Cavalry camp where they were drinking, eating meat and singing songs.
"What's wrong with us being Hans? Aren't we all soldiers and generals of the Qing Dynasty? Aren't we fighting for the Qing Dynasty? Then why can they drink and eat meat when they are full, but we can only eat cold meals here or... Do you want to starve?" Li Yuchun asked everyone sitting there with a look of reluctance.
However, when Li Yuchun looked around at the people around the bonfire, several of the older Green Camp soldiers his eyes touched lowered their heads. There were only two other Green Camp soldiers of similar age to him. After making eye contact with him, they seemed to be considering what Li Yuchun said.
"Why? Because if you dare to make trouble, they will chop off your head on the grounds that you are rebelling." Li Sangui looked at the veterans around him and said nothing, so he could only speak out to "educate" his nephew, lest he I didn’t even know what happened when I was chopped down.
"The Manchus have always been wary of us Han people. If you dare to make trouble, they may indeed give everyone a feast of wine and meat, but they will definitely not let go of those who dare to take the lead in making trouble. So, who is willing to make trouble? "
Yes, the first shot is the first.
Although he is very unwilling, who is willing to sacrifice his life for the benefit of everyone?
"well…"
After listening to Li Sangui's words, Li Yuchun also lowered his head like the older Green Camp soldiers, as did the other two Green Camp soldiers of similar age to him.
"Gouzi, don't be discouraged. Although we are worse than those Manchus, we are still eating royal food. Compared with some beggars and mud-legged people who are hungry and have nothing to eat, they can only eat dirt. It's much better." Li Sangui consoled him.
"They say that better than worse, better than worse, just live life as it should be. Don't think too much, because thinking too much will make you feel confused."
"Hungry...gu..."
At this time, Li Yuchun's stomach growled again, urging him to quickly eat the food in front of him.
"Look, your stomach is growling again. Hurry up and eat the rice balls in your hand! Don't be dissatisfied. They want to eat but they haven't eaten yet." Li Sangui pointed at the green camp soldiers next to him. Li Yuchun urged.
"That's right, Gou Boy, don't think too much. It would be nice to have cold rice balls to eat. Don't think about your destiny as a general all day long." The one-year-old Green Camp soldier advised.
"Just...just, if you want to drink and eat meat all day long, you should pray to gods and Buddhas to bless you to be reborn in a rich family in your next life. Oh, no, you have to be in a rich family. Only in this way can you be rich. You have the power and can rest easy! As for this life, don't think about it." Another Green Camp soldier said cheerfully, looking like he was joking.
Hearing this, Li Yuchun frowned slightly, seeming to be thinking about something? Then, I saw him wolfing down the cold rice ball in his hand. He held the crumpled paper tightly in his hand, as if he was making up his mind.
"Looking at the happy expressions on your faces, don't you want to drink wine and eat meat?" Li Yuchun asked after swallowing hard the cold meal in his mouth.
"Hungry...gu..."
At this time, several hungry screams came from the green camp soldiers nearby, seeming to be answering Li Yuchun's words.
Perhaps it was because they had been discussing the issue of drinking and eating meat, or maybe it was the smell of wine and meat coming from the Eight Banners Cavalry camp, which all aroused the hunger in the bellies of these Green Camp soldiers.
"Gou, to be honest, if you say you don't like it, it's a lie. But who told us we don't have this life? So don't think about it, just endure it. You can have breakfast tomorrow morning." A man screamed with hunger in his belly. Instead, the Green Camp soldiers persuaded Li Yuchun.
"Yes, dog boy, you must not make trouble. They are Manchus and we are Han. If we make trouble, we will only suffer. Don't lose your life in vain." Another Green Camp soldier, who was growling with hunger, looked at Li Yuchun. With an angry look on his face, he was trying to persuade him kindly.
"Yes, Gouwa, they are Manchus and we are Hans. We really can't mess with them, but don't be stupid." Another green soldier who was screaming with hunger in his belly was trying to persuade them.
"Aren't the Manchus and Han people all subjects of the Qing Dynasty? Why do we have to separate the Manchus and the Han people? Doesn't the emperor always say that the Manchus and Han people are one family?" Li Yuchun asked angrily inexplicably.
And where this anger came from, even Li Yuchun couldn't tell. It probably came from helplessness.
However, what answered him was the calm gazes of all the Green Camp soldiers around him, as if they were looking at a fool.
Indeed, Li Yuchun has lived in this world for more than ten years. If he really doesn't feel the difference between Manchu and Han, he is just stupid.
"Yeah, what kind of Man-Han family is that even the court wouldn't believe it, let alone us?" At this moment, Li Yuchun smiled bitterly in a low voice.
"I am a Han, and I can't change it in this life. This court is a Manchu court, and we will only be bullied by the Manchus in this life." Li Yuchun said.
After hearing Li Yuchun's words, the surrounding green camp soldiers all lowered their heads and fell silent. They were all quietly looking at the bonfire that was burning quietly, as if they wanted to find the answer they wanted from the bonfire.
At this time, there were several slight explosions of firewood coming from the quiet campfire.
"Unless the imperial court can become ours as Han people, this is probably what we will do."
As soon as these words fell, it was as if a big stone had been dropped deep in the peaceful hearts of these Green Camp soldiers. Everyone was instantly shocked and even a little at a loss.
"Boy from the Zhao family, are you desperate for your life? How dare you say such nonsense? Don't drag us down." At this moment, several older Green Camp soldiers immediately began to curse.
Even the older Green Soldier next to the Green Soldier directly covered his mouth with his hand to prevent him from saying anything shocking and hurting everyone.
