Chapter 227 Complaints Conference
"Haha." A burst of laughter came from the soldiers around him. The smile did not seem to be as lustful as a romance, but was filled with indifference.
Yang Xun looked at the expressions of every soldier around him, and he knew very well that these soldiers had long had no humanity until now.
They were extremely cold and numb inside.
Such soldiers are very dangerous. Since they are inhumane, they naturally cannot be loyal. They can defect to Junshan today and others tomorrow.
It seems very necessary for Zhang Dashe to explain his own affairs.
Yang Xun patted the soldier on the shoulder, "Silly boy, when he became a soldier, he just tied his head to his belt. He didn't have the heart to take care of so much, and he also saved money and food for his family. A carved feather arrow on the battlefield can kill you."
As they said that, everyone laughed louder, and some of them even wanted to come and tease him.
Yang Xun waved his hand to stop everyone's ridicule and said loudly: "Everyone, be quiet, listen to what this brother says? Little brother, what is your name? If you have the strength to work and farm, you are better than being a soldier. After all, there is no sword on the battlefield, and this food is not easy to earn."
The thin soldier seemed to recall something very bad, and said sadly: "Sir, my name is Wang Chaiduo, I am from Songjiang Mansion. I also know that it is dangerous to join the army and fight, but I have no choice."
Yang Xun could guess his expression, which must be a sad story. He did not interrupt Wang Chaiduo, but chose to listen silently.
Perhaps it was Yang Xun's approachableness that made him talk, so the story was very long, and Wang Chaiduo's tears couldn't stop flowing out.
Pictures appeared in the minds of Yang Xun and everyone who was listening.
Sishui was originally a place with simple customs and most of the people took farming as their business.
Wang Chaiduo's old father worked hard for decades and saved more than a dozen taels of silver for Wang Chaiduo. He originally wanted to build a few new houses for his precious son, and then the remaining money was used as a betrothal gift to marry a famous virtuous girl from the neighboring village to his son as his wife.
Who doesn’t know that Wang Chaiduo is an honest child who has the strength to work, works hard and knows how to care for others. Although he is a little thinner, he will not be bullied in Sishui, a simple place with people.
My father-in-law also likes Wang Chaiduo very much, so this marriage is what it should be done.
I thought it was a match made by nature, but who would have thought that the president heard that Wang Chaiduo's woman was a little pretty and colluded with the Yuan people. He not only stole Wang Chaiduo's wife on the wedding day, but also beat Wang Chaiduo's mother to death.
Chai Duo's father was so angry that he was paralyzed in bed and was living by drinking Chinese medicine every day, which instantly defeated the already poor family.
Chai Duo also fought with a knife, but how could he beat those strong Yuan people? After being beaten several times, he gradually accepted his fate.
The woman was gone, her mother was beaten to death, and her father was paralyzed in bed. These were caused by the Yuan people and the president.
It's time to go on.
Wang Chaiduo is honest but down-to-earth. If fate does not cause any turmoil, there will definitely be more capable farmers in the fields.
But fate is always so hard.
God can't see the hard work of Wang Chaiduo.
The famine came, and after years of drought, the yield of farmland began to decrease greatly. Then the locust plague and the waterlogging caused no harvest in the farmland.
Chaiduo relied on his own strength to work to fight sandbags. After the foreman deducted it, he used the remaining meager salary to support his growing younger brother and his father who was in bed with the spring.
But God may still dislike Wang Chaiduo not miserable enough. A military disaster robbed all the family's finances, and even the house was burned.
The powerful local tyrants robbed the land, and even gave Wang Chaiduo the last bit of desire to survive. In desperation, Wang Chaiduo joined the bandits for a steamed bun.
If it weren't for this steamed bun, Wang Chaiduo, his father and his younger brother might have starved to death long ago."
After listening to Wang Chaiduo's story, no one of the soldiers laughed at him anymore, but looked straight ahead together, and were all in painful memories.
If you fall into a bandit, who has no painful memories?
Yes, who is willing to tie his head to his belt to kill someone or steal someone else?
It's all forced by the world."
Woo woo, I will never laugh at you again in the future. Everyone is pitiful. My old mother also starved to death because of the landlord and powerful man.”
"And I, before being a bandit, we were also a famous farmer in all corners of the countryside. No one can compare to me in terms of farming. However, the landlord relied on some people in his family to directly snatch my land and burn my house. I had no way out and was forced to become a bandit."
It is worthy of praise for everyone to remember their past." Yang Xun patted Wang Chaiduo on the shoulder again and continued to ask: "Brother Chaiduo, I ask you, have you become a bandit, are your family members living much better than before?"
Sir, you don’t know that even though you won’t be starved to death by being this bandit, you have never had enough food for three meals a day. Moreover, the leaders of the army are always beaten. Whoever dares to retreat on the battlefield may have the potential to be chopped off when you turn back. There are not many brothers who came out with me to join the army at the beginning.”
Then, Wang Chaiduo took off his coat and revealed his thin body. Yang Xun could see clearly that most of the scars on his body were left by whipping and wooden sticks.
It can be seen how cruel and inhumane he suffered in the army.
The soldiers around also took off their coats, revealing scars on their bodies."
Sir, let’s tell you the truth. No matter how much benefit Junshan gives us, we won’t be able to live much better without punishing those who are officials.”
"Yes, sir, our centurion, either deducts our rations or beats us with a whip. He hides behind us every time he fights, and asks us to die for him. He takes away all the rewards, and there is nothing we can do."
The soldiers stared at the generals sitting in the distance, accompanied by Zhu Zhen to drink and eat meat, and they all wanted to eat their meat.
"Sir, don't you say that the generals of Junshan love soldiers as much as their sons? Will we live the previous life in the future?" After staying in the army for a long time and being bullied for a long time, Wang Chaiduo was still cautious even if he made his own demands. Yang
Xun waved his hand and signaled a soldier not far away to stand out.
The soldier bowed to Yang Xun, looked at everyone, and said proudly: "My name is Wang Er. Before joining the army, I was a farmer at the foot of the military mountain. My experience was like you, and I encountered famine and could not survive. But I was lucky enough to meet the Lord."
"Don't think that the words of the Lord's words are all comforting you, and that those benefits are real."
Er looked at everyone and continued loudly, "Since I was selected as a war soldier, I had three taels of silver a month, but I also took care of three meals a day. A few days ago, I returned a set of cotton clothes. The women at home could enter the factory and work for Junshan, and I also had five coins a month. And I heard from the old man in the commune that when my wife became skilled, she would have a salary of five taels of silver a month."
As for farmland, you basically don’t need to cultivate it yourself. The farmland is cultivated by the brigade and each family is responsible for earning labor points. Those who serve in the army do not need to work hard, and some people will take back the food for you."
"this!""
Brother, what you said is true?”
People were extremely shocked. They originally thought that what Zhu Zhen said might have had an exaggeration, but who would have thought that there were many things Zhu Zhen said that were not mentioned at all.
These unmentioned details are also a great benefit for everyone.
Yang Xun smiled and said, "Now everyone really defected to Junshan?"
People shouted, "We do."
“We do.”
Okay, please tell me about the grievances I have suffered every day, and the clerks next to each of you 100-person teams, and those who have died must be more detailed. If you make a false statement, the laws and regulations of Junshan are merciless."
The soldiers' eyes suddenly lit up, knowing that the opportunity to take revenge was coming.
For a time, the clerks became a busy group of people in the army.
At the same time, during the banquet, Zhu Zhen smiled and looked at the surrendered generals who had defected to the new master's house and celebrated each other one by one.
"How many people are guilty?" Zhu Zhen personally asked Yang Xun who was rushing to come and asked directly."
Almost every officer has several murders." Yang Xun said in shock: "As for beating and scolding soldiers, it is more normal. I wonder if the Lord wants to expel these people from the army?"
What are you doing when you expel it?" Zhu Zhen shook his head and said, "Since they have entered our military mountain, they will naturally be our people and die will be our ghosts."
Lord, no, this kind of scum would be a disaster for the army even if he entered the military mountain." Yang Xun advised.
Biao Ze smiled from the side and said, "Mr. Yang, don't you understand what Master Jue said? He is a man from Junshan, and a ghost from Junshan when he dies. Since they can't be a man from Junshan, let them be a ghost from Junshan."
"I understand." Yang Xun was a little shocked by the ruthlessness of Zhu Zhen and the prince, but he felt a sense of pleasure in the future of these disasters."
After the banquet, you will handle it yourself." Zhu Zhen signaled Yang Xun to go down and rest, but looked at Hu Er again.
Hu Er was loyal and naturally would not have any doubts about Zhu Zhen’s orders. He immediately stood up and said, “Sir, please rest assured, I will never let go of a scum.”
Let those soldiers take action themselves, and they have a debt and a master, so we can be responsible for monitoring."
Yes." Hu Er didn't say much and directly accepted the order. Yes
At night, the drunken general thought they could live a wealthy life from now on, but unexpectedly, they were caught by their former soldiers in their dreams, threw them into a deep pit, and buried them on the spot.
