"Fourth, you are right!" Yang Tong felt that his figure had grown taller. He no longer had to be afraid of Yang Ning and could talk to him on an equal footing.
Yang Ning added fuel and vinegar:
"Third brother is a person who understands the general situation. If there is any conflict between you and me, it will be a private matter. We can't ignore the overall situation just for a small festival, right?"
Yang Tong felt that Yang Ning was right. He was this kind of person. He and Yang Ning could beat the brains out of a dog, but they had to understand the general outline:
"What do you need me to do?"
Yang Ning's face was full of confidence: "Within three days, the barbarians will arrive. I need the young and strong people to eat enough to give them the strength to follow you and kill the barbarians!"
"Manager Zhang only obeys your orders. No one can do this except you. Are you willing to take responsibility for the Yang family and let my grandfather see your character?"
These words made Yang Tong feel comfortable, and he immediately waved his hand: "If I can't even do this little thing well, wouldn't it mean that I have been in charge of the clan for so long in vain?"
As he spoke, he turned his head and shouted sharply at Manager Zhang who was about to sneak away with his head shrunk as he pushed away the crowd: "Manager Zhang, come here!"
Seeing Yang Tong reprimanding Manager Zhang and ordering him to go to the kitchen to prepare steamed cakes immediately, Yang Ning secretly nodded with satisfaction.
Yang Tong may not understand him now, but he does understand this clan brother. Yang Meng's fear of the Hu people is deep in his bones, and he is determined to seek refuge with Shi Le, but Yang Tong is not like this.
Although this guy has many faults, such as having a high self-esteem and not looking down upon people with muddy legs from the countryside, his passion has not yet cooled down and he will not abandon his ancestors willingly.
If you want to achieve great things, you have to make a lot of friends and a few enemies.
Yang Ning wanted to consolidate the family's power in the shortest possible time and defeat Yang Meng. There were many ways to do it, but directly pulling Yang Tong into his camp was undoubtedly a plan to draw fuel from the bottom of the cauldron.
Even his own son "surrendered" to the enemy, how could Yang Meng survive?
For now, Yang Ning has never taken care of the affairs of the clan, and no one in charge is his. If he wants to prevent others from secretly stumbling upon him and delaying the progress of his work, it is best to let Yang Tong come forward.
...
"The barbarians burned down your house, leaving you as terrified as a lost dog. You could only sleep in the wilderness, being beaten by the cold wind and doused with cold rain. How can you hate them?!"
"hatred!"
"The barbarians have robbed you of your food, and the harvest you have worked hard for a year has been wiped out. You can only suffer from hunger and starvation. How do you hate them?!"
"hatred!"
"The barbarians killed your parents, wives and children, leaving you to watch your loved ones fall in a pool of blood. From then on, you became a poor person with a broken family. How do you hate them?!"
"hatred!"
Li Qinghan finally saw the scene she expected.
When Yang Ning announced to the young men that the clan had prepared cooking cakes for them and they would no longer have to eat porridge, the morale of the young men suddenly improved a lot.
Afterwards, Yang Ning walked into the crowd and started chatting with them. He asked one question how the harvest was this year and the other question whether his family members had been harmed by barbarians.
When the cooking cakes were ready and the young men had their stomachs filled, Yang Ning once again asked the young men to stand up and arranged them in line according to the order, and then this was the scene in front of him.
Seeing Yang Ning riding back and forth in front of the team, looking into the eyes of the young men from time to time, and yelling the above words like a bell, Li Qinghan's eyes gradually brightened when he received strong responses from the young men.
"Today, the barbarians are still plundering the countryside, killing people and setting fires everywhere. They even want to come here, rush into Wubao, and steal your rations. Are you unwilling to do anything?"
"no!"
"This Wubao is your last refuge. Once the barbarians attack Wubao, not only will you die, but your family members will be trampled and slaughtered by the barbarians. Are you willing to sit back and watch?!"
"I don't want to!"
"Although the Hu people are extremely vicious, there are only a few hundred people in Licheng County. Now there are hundreds of people around you. Can you guard Wubao with me and protect your family?!"
"able!"
"able!"
"able!"
Suddenly, hundreds of young men roared in unison, many of them flushed with veins on their foreheads.
Yang Ning stopped, glanced at everyone with dagger-like eyes, raised his arms and shouted: "Drive out the barbarians and defend our hometown!"
Everyone roared in unison: "Drive out the Hulu and defend our hometown!"
"Speak louder, I can't hear you! Haven't you eaten? You don't have the strength to speak, how can you protect your parents, wives and children?!"
Yang Ning was furious, "You guys, show me your manliness. When an ordinary man is angry, blood will be splashed five steps away!"
The voices of the young men became more passionate and indignant: "When a common man is angry, blood will be splashed five steps forward!"
This time, those who roared with Yang Ning were no longer just the three hundred young men, but also the private soldiers of the Yang family on the side, and even many old people and children watching on the side of the school field.
The sound was like a torrential wave, and the bullfighting was so angry that it seemed like it was about to tear down the roof.
"You're going to die. Why are you shouting so loudly? My ears will be deafened."
Hundreds of people roared with all their strength, which made Li Jianjia's heart pound. Being exposed to the sound, she felt like she would be drowned at any time, and her face became paler and paler.
Li Qinghan quietly clenched his fists. Although he didn't say anything, the look of hatred and hatred in his eyes gradually solidified and burned, as if turning into two balls of flame.
What she didn't expect was that Yang Ning led the young men to shout for a full hour about this sixteen-word declaration of "Expelling the Hulu", and did not stop until everyone shouted until their throats started to smoke.
Then, with a wave of his hand, Yang Ning led the young men to leave the school grounds and asked them to start carrying stones and rolling logs to the city wall of Yangjiawu Fort in groups of ten or five.
Starting from early this morning, the Yang family has been reinforcing and raising the Gaowu Fort, and all tenants, hermits, and homesteaders have been mobilized.
Women, children, the elderly and even half-grown children all joined in and did whatever they could.
The task of Sanbai Qingzhuang is always to carry heavy objects such as stones and wood. From time to time, people go out of the dock to collect materials in the fields.
Li Qinghan initially thought that Yang Ning was just asking the young men to do heavy work and exercise their strength, but as the observation deepened, she soon discovered that things were not that simple.
None of the young men act alone, either in groups of five or ten, and they are always inseparable no matter what they do.
Once he encounters a team leader who has become separated from the team, Zhao Ning will grab the corresponding team leader or commander and sternly order them to control their subordinates.
"If one person wanders off, the whole team will be punished. If one person is lazy, all the team members will sit down together. The punishment for the team leader and the commander will be doubled! The team leader who performed best today will have meat for dinner, and the team leader who performed the worst will clean the toilet at night!"
This is what Li Qinghan heard, Yang Ning said to do more.
