Niucun'er is located behind Tongcheng, on a winding mountain road, with less than a hundred households.
Seven years ago, the local government last verified the population at 672 households, which was considered a relatively large village nearby.
Half a month ago, Tongcheng sent officials over to check again. There were only eighty-two households. There were only eighty-two households, because this place was close to Tongcheng, because it was close to the coastline, and because it was a Japanese privateer. One of the only ways to go to the rear.
Most of the village is made up of widows and the elderly, with more than 80 households. There is only one young man named Niu Ben, and his nickname is Niu Wazi.
The name Niu Wazi is very common and can be seen everywhere in the Zhou Dynasty, but the name Niu Ben is not common.
Niu Ben, four cows, but Niu Ben is not a cow at all. Not only is he not a cow, as the only young man in Niu Village, he is also the one who is most disliked.
Niu Ben is actually not a native of Niu Village, but was "deployed" here.
This is what is abominable and deserves to be killed by the local officials of the three regions of the East China Sea.
The Japanese privateers came to rob the population, killed the young adults, and kidnapped children and many women. As a result, all the villages in the coastal areas were empty. Later, the local government saw that it was not okay. The villages were full of widows, so they forcibly removed some of them. The grassroots troops of the naval division were sent over. The significance is self-evident. Increasing the population is like harvesting wheat. After a period of time, when all the women have children left, the Japanese thieves coming off the privateers will seize the children. Walk.
Such a government "policy" that is worse than an animal is a "secret" that is well known to everyone in the East China Sea.
When Niu Ben was first sent over, it was understandable that he encountered hostility from everyone.
Niu Ben is very honest and honest. He doesn't care about being the only young man in the village. He just lives his duty. Coming from a farmer's background, he sticks to his bottom line, carries water for the widows in the village, and plows the land with a heavy sweat. The fields are kept idle almost every day.
Gradually, everyone turned from hostility to dislike, feeling that this boy was not strong enough.
Yes, he is indeed not strong enough. After all, as the only young strong man, he cannot restore Niu Village to its "past glory."
At this time in Niu Village, Niu Ben has once again become the "public enemy" that young and old women are attacking.
The village chief Niu Bo, who was wearing a patchwork cloth, puffed his beard and glared angrily. Behind him stood more than forty widows, surrounding Niuben's thatched house, and they were yelling ugly curses.
An old man and more than forty widows were all scolding.
"Rinen Niang, you are a beast, you damn beast..."
"I raised you even though I didn't give birth to you. You actually want to do something worse than a pig or a dog..."
"I shouldn't have let a bastard like you enter the village in the first place. I should have beaten you to death and thrown you into the sea..."
"If your parents are alive in the sky, they will definitely rain down thunder and strike you to death, a slut like you, a bastard who is worse than a pig or a dog..."
Even the only scrawny big yellow dog in the village was barking.
Niu Ben in the house had tears on his face, letting his tears fall to the ground. The scolding outside became louder and louder, and more and more people came to scold him. In the blink of an eye, almost everyone in the village came, They gathered around and scolded each other.
After opening the door, Niu Ben closed his eyes, knelt on the ground, kowtowed three times to everyone, and choked with tears.
The scolding got louder, and the old village chief slammed the cracked crutch on the ground: "Second mother, Nizi, guard at the entrance of the village. If he dares to run away, break his dog's legs."
"Uncle Niu..."
Niu Ben raised his head, his tears pouring more and more: "I have been a soldier for seven years, a full seven years, I have seen Ying dogs, I don't know how many, but I have never killed them, not even one of them, so let those Gouri officials took off their armor and sent them here, and I...I thought I would never be able to kill Yingou in this life."
Niu Ben placed the baggage containing only a broken armor and a few naan cakes on the ground, and beat his chest hard.
"I was thinking about it in my dream, thinking about killing a Japanese dog with my own hands. One, one is enough."
Niu Ben raised a finger, which trembled slightly: "Just one, get on the boat, and when we get to Yingdao, one is enough, okay? I beg you, just one."
There was a "pop" sound, a crisp slap in the face, and a commoner woman who was three months pregnant slapped Niu Ben hard on the face.
After the slap, the lady collapsed on her knees and cried loudly.
Niu Ben lowered his head firmly: "The recruitment order, I have never seen the recruitment order, I have never seen the recruitment order to attack the Ying Dog. If I don't go, I will be uncomfortable for the rest of my life. I got on the ship and arrived at Yingdao. Just kill a Yinggu, just kill one, just kill one..."
Niu Ben murmured and kept repeating this sentence, just kill one, kill one is enough, kill one and come back.
The village chief Niu Bo puffed his beard angrily and glared: "Kill just one of you if you fucking say you want to. If you fucking want to kill yourself, just kill yourself, right? What the hell are you planning, you bastard? Who wouldn't? You know, not to mention one, but ten, hundreds, thousands of them, can you fucking come back alive?"
"Don't be afraid, I'm not afraid."
Niu Ben stubbornly growled: "Just let me go. When we get to the camp, we will give them land, money, and food. Little Ah Chen from the next village has already received the money. With the land, money, and Without food, our Niu Village will never..."
Another slap in the face, and after Uncle Niu slapped him hard, his blood rushed to his heart and he almost fainted.
Immediately afterwards, there was a continuous sound of slaps, and the women were crying, shouting, and slapping Niu Ben's face, one after another.
Fanning, crying, crying, fanning, and cursing.
But no one can persuade Niu Ben anymore. They know that they can't stop Niu Ben, just like they can't heal the cruelty towards the Japanese thieves in their hearts.
Niu Ben didn't know how many slaps he received. His whole face was numb and swollen. He looked embarrassed and ridiculous.
But there were many more things in front of him.
There are scattered copper coins.
There are eggs covered in chicken poop.
There are several pairs of cloth shoes covered with patches.
There is also a rusty iron knife.
Niu Ben closed his eyes tightly, and his face had already been wet with tears.
It wasn't until a long, long time later that there was no more cursing or crying. Niu Ben opened his eyes. There was no one around him.
Standing up slowly, Niu Ben did not pick up anything on the ground. He unpacked his bag and slowly walked towards the entrance of the village. As he walked, he wore a damaged and disfigured armor.
A barefoot woman walked over quickly, raised her hand, and finally couldn't bear to drop her arm. She held back her tears, but she couldn't help being concerned, and she clumsily put on Niu Ben's armor.
More and more people gathered over again. Those honest and responsible women, those women who were usually very aggressive, hugged Niu Ben tightly, so hard and reluctant to let go.
Niu Ben ran away and left Niu Village. At the entrance of the village, everyone was watching him, until Niu Ben's figure completely disappeared on the winding mountain road, and a loud cry broke out.
Niu rushes because of the Japanese thieves.
The bulls run away, and the Japanese thieves run away.
These are the three realms of the East China Sea, the people of the three realms of the East China Sea.
They have an unforgettable hatred for the Japanese thieves and a rage that can evaporate sea water.
They also have the most tenacious hearts. If they love, they will love restrainedly; if they hate, they will hate fiercely.
They, when they see, hear, know, and are sure that the imperial court is really going to attack Yingdao, they will also become ferocious.
The thief will never understand why the docile sheep turned into something completely different.
This is not because the people of the three realms of the East China Sea are weak, but because they have no swords, no armor, and no room for resistance at all.
If, if there is even a chance to resist, they will let the thieves know what kind of monster hatred can turn a seemingly weak and bully person into. To deal with monsters, they can only become more terrifying monsters!
Bullying me, humiliating me, and killing me have already left me riddled with wounds and made my life worse than death. If this is the case, then I am willing to become a demon. Only by becoming a demon can I slay the demon.
Everything that happened in Niu Village, this scene, happened in countless villages and towns, not only Niu Village, but also Tongcheng, not only Dongcheng, but also Dongyun Road, not only Dongyun Road, but the entire East China Sea Three Roads knew this.
Recruitment orders were posted in the streets and alleys, and in any place where there were people. The people who posted the recruitment orders were all miscellaneous soldiers or young men from Beijing. After posting the recruitment orders, they shouted and explained at the top of their lungs.
To start a war, it depends on people, and people's lives are at stake.
Even if there was gunpowder, it would still require a lot of manpower.
If Han You wants to decide in one battle, he must go to great lengths.
Whether it is defending the coastline to prevent the Japanese bandits from being destroyed, or landing on the island to defeat the Japanese bandits and destroy the country, a large number of manpower is needed.
Recruiting soldiers, one type is old soldiers who are disarmed, those who can sail a boat and are good at naval warfare are given priority.
As for the so-called people who can swim, basically all the people living in the three East China Sea can swim.
The second type is a civilian who knows boating, even carpentry.
The third type is the new soldiers, who will not board the ship, but will take over the troops in the original camp.
Han You knows very well that how far a country can go and what heights it can reach can be seen from the country's attitude towards heroes.
Those who join the army at this juncture are all heroes.
Those who board warships to fight in foreign countries at this critical moment are even more heroes among heroes.
When Han You came to the East China Sea, he asked his friends to raid so many aristocratic families and obtained so much money and land without leaving any penny. They all gave it to their relatives in the army and left nothing.
He believed that Lao Ba would understand and support his approach.
At this time, in the Tongcheng camp, Han You personally stood at the door to greet the troops arriving one after another, saluting everyone.
These new recruits didn't know who Han You was. After entering the camp, they asked around and found out who was greeting them. They were flattered.
But the one who was really flattered was Han You. He had never thought that a recruitment order could make countless good men follow him on the battlefield.
"strangeness."
Han You glanced sideways at Wang Hai: "Why do so many people who enter the camp have bruises and swollen faces, and were abused by their wives at home?"
Wang Hai sighed silently.
He knew that for Donghai, once his son, brother, and father set foot on the battlefield, a family would be incomplete. The family that was already in trouble would become even more dilapidated and fragmented. But even so, countless people would still step onto the battlefield. , their relatives will still support them on the battlefield.
Beating their sons and husbands was out of hatred.
Supporting their sons and husbands on the battlefield is also motivated by hatred.
Unforgettable hatred!
