9. TVs are amazing
The story of Grandpa Yue was widely circulated in this era. He fought against the Jin soldiers and was invincible; he was rigorous in governing the army and did not violate it at all; he was loyal and brave, and went to his death with great utmost mercy. Through the stories passed down, the people knew this tragic hero and admired him very much. Especially now when the Later Jin soldiers plundered the Ming Dynasty but the court was unable to resist it.
So when I saw Yue Fei's story on TV, these Ming Dynasty natives were shocked to slowly indulge. Brother Xiao Ming's handsomeness seemed a bit too out of the play in Lu Ruolin's opinion. The kind of heroism and strength to turn the tide was weakened too much. But in the eyes of these Ming Dynasty natives, these are not problems. They have been deeply attracted by the historical drama presented by this magical magic weapon. Singing a big drama? Singing a big drama is shit compared to this!
So if you want to not think about a certain problem, then use another problem to attract him. Obviously, these pirate prisoners no longer have extra nerve cells to think about survival and escape these major events in life. Maybe it was Brother Xiao Ming's acting skills that conquer them? Anyway, they are very obedient now and are sinking into the story of Grandpa Yue.
The episode was soon finished, and Lu Ruolin paused the playback and asked the prisoners: "Who do you know the story of Grandpa Yue Fei?" After a while of silence, someone finally said: "I know, Grandpa Yue killed the golden dog!"
"The Yue family army is invincible in the world!"
"Grandpa Yue was killed by the dog official Qin Hui!"
...
It seems that Yue Fei’s story is indeed deeply rooted in people’s hearts. Even pirates who do evil things know that they are obviously Koreans’ appearances know. It seems that the cultural output of the Ming Dynasty is pretty good.
"You all know that Grandpa Yue killed Golden Dog, so do you know who Golden Dog is?" Lu Ruolin asked.
"Aren't the Golden Dog the Jin Soldier?" These pirates only heard the stories from the opera and storyteller, but no one explained them, and they did not know the origin of the Jin Soldiers.
"The Golden Dog is the Jurchens, and he is the same ancestor as the current Tartar Jiannu." Lu Ruolin said.
"Have the golden dog been killed yet? Why didn't Taizu and Chengzu have killed all these savages? It has become a disaster until now." The pirates didn't understand very well.
"The Jurchens were savages who lived in Liaodong for generations. They made a living by hunting and fishing, and they also planted a small amount of land. They lived in mountains and forests, wore animal skins, were brave and stubborn, and were skilled in bows and horses. They were all good at driving ships. Of course, they didn't know how to drive a boat, and they were basically land ducks, and they were just weights when they fell into the water." Lu Ruolin took the opportunity to transform the pirates' ideological ideas and establish a correct view of the country and nation.
"Haha! What Jurchens are invincible? If you have the ability to come to the sea to gesture, the man will let them go and never return!" Hearing that the Jurchens were not good at water, these pirates were immediately happy. They always heard others telling the Jurchens how powerful they were. It seemed that they did not compete with them at sea. There was a sense of contempt that we didn't come out, which made the prince famous.
"No one knows everything. If you come to land like this, the Jurchens can fight ten at one time. Of course, we will not give them such a chance." Lu Ruolin warned these pirates with enthusiasm not to underestimate the Jurchens, they are all professional warriors, large-scale organized robberies, and now the king of land in East Asia.
"The Jurchens lived in places where the Jurchens lived in dense mountains and forests, and wild beasts were rampant. If they wanted to survive, they would not be cruel. They would not survive without fighting. Because the environment was dangerous, many people could not live for thirty years old. Therefore, although Liaodong was very big, there were very few Jurchens. In such a huge Liaodong, there were only more than 100,000 Jurchens. When the Jurchens were at Wanli, they were slaves of us Han people. How could they kill me, lust my wife and daughter, steal my property, catch the Han people to Liaodong to be a cattle and horse, and even hit the capital?"
The Pirates and Lu Ruolin's men were both confused because no one had told them and they had never paid attention.
"Because the old slave Nurhaci of the Later Jin Dynasty. Although the old slave is full of evil and deserves death, he is indeed a character. Without him, the Tartars are still a mess, not a problem, and they are still slaves and servants, and life and death are controlled by our Ming Dynasty."
"How did the old slave make a dispersed Jurchen barbarian become a world-wide and has no rival?"
"Just from the Tartars, it means strict discipline and clear rewards and punishments. In addition, the Tartars are born brave and good at fighting, and the old slaves are old and fight, so they can turn over and beat me to the Ming Dynasty without temper."
"We Han people are not born weak. Grandpa Yue's Yue's army can beat the ancestor of Tartars, the golden dog, to pieces, and Grandpa Qi's army can also beat the Japanese pirates who are rampant in the southeast to fall into pieces. They have a lot of hair on their own, so the key is how to train troops and lead the troops."
"Okay, let's talk about it first, let's continue watching the show. Take a closer look at how Grandpa Yue killed the golden dog and praised the heroic spirit of the Han people." I was anxious and couldn't eat hot tofu, and ideological work could not be achieved overnight.
Seeing Lu Ruolin's kindness, not only did he not abuse them, but also told them stories and watched big dramas, the captives finally settled down, at least everyone would not die. Smart people were still thinking about Lu Ruolin and the others' intentions, and most of them began to look forward to the magical block box show.
The prisoners' emotions stabilized, and the pressure on guarding was much smaller. In fact, Lu Ruolin and others were under too much pressure. The number of these prisoners was too large. If they were not careful, they would cause riots. Even if they were suppressed, they would be both sides injured. Fortunately, these prisoners did not know the situation of Lu Ruolin and others. If they knew that they had only such a few people, they would have thoughts.
Taking advantage of the fact that the prisoners were addicted to the TV series, Lu Ruolin asked someone to cook for them. He used to dare not give it because he was afraid that they would eat and drink enough to rebel. Now he has given the prisoners hope to survive, and no one is willing to take the risk of rebelling. It is better to live without a single death. Those rebels also have to fight because they have no way to survive.
Pirates also have their own industry rules. Not all robberies and battles are killed. Generally, they only kill the leaders and backbones. As for most of the pirates at the bottom, who wins and listens to whom, the core team is the soul and essence of the entire pirate gang. These core teams contribute the most when fighting and take up the most when sharing the spoils. As for the pirates at the bottom, there are only leftovers and some bones that the bosses reward, this is very similar to the bandits.
Kong Daqiang, the core team of pirates, has been killed because they are the ones who do the most evil.
The pirates who survived were actually not opposed to surrendering to a new boss. The new boss was obviously strong and did not kill innocent people indiscriminately. They looked easy to talk to. They not only told them stories, but also watched big dramas. Compared with Kong Daqiang's cruelty and unkindness, moody, and using them as slaves, the new boss looked good at least for the time being. Is the boss really good? Let's compare with my colleagues.
The meal prepared for the prisoners is actually very simple. After all, there are so many people who can't play any tricks. Coarse bread, fried salted fish, salted broth, pickles, and thick inferior tea. The ones they own and seized are the most, and pirates and sailors usually eat these things to survive.
But unlike in the past, Lu Ruolin has given enough oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, onion, ginger, garlic, and chili sauce. Although these things are recoverable items on the boat and nutrients will not be absorbed into the human body, with them, the food not only looks good, but also tastes unspeakable. However, the great improvement in taste makes these condiments absolutely worth the money.
You should know that the food of the pirates on the boat is also very simple. There is no fresh fruits, vegetables and meat, only pickles. Either salted fish or bacon, or pickles. Moreover, it is very dangerous to turn on the fire to cook. Many times, they just eat it with cold water. Moreover, those salted fish, bacon and pickles are made of inferior salt, and are cooked directly from seawater, with bitter taste, so don’t think about it except filling your stomach, deliciousness and deliciousness.
Soon the first batch of food was moved to the deck, and the captives finally moved their eyes from the TV to the meal. It was not that the TV was not attractive, but that they were really hungry.
When I saw large pots of steamed buns, fried salted fish with oily oil and thick broth, it looked tempting and drooling when I smelled it. For these prisoners, such food, there were very few opportunities to eat even when they got on the boat. So the prisoners didn't speak, but just kept swallowing their saliva.
Lu Ruolin paused the TV and said, "I think everyone is hungry, so I have prepared some food for everyone. Everyone has it. This is a reward for you not doing evil. Not only do you have food, but you also have enough food, it depends on whether your belly is pretending."
"Everyone has too many people, and they come to eat in batches. Don't worry, the kitchen is still making it in the back, and there are so many that you don't lack this one."
Then Lu Ruolin ordered out the dozen people who had reported the most positively, loosened them, and asked them to eat first.
If you do well, you will need rewards. Although it is just a sequence, the effect is very good.
Those who were ordered to have dinner were obviously much more energetic, and the look of looking at everyone was a little proud, full of superiority: Look, my choice is right! Of course, I will be more acknowledged with the new and old bosses.
These people respectfully took the tableware from the guards. The staff on the boat used stainless steel tableware, which was merely aware of people. The stainless steel tableware was used because it was durable for falling. Of course, the prince's place was equipped with high-end porcelain and silver tableware. With a luxurious slap, this was not something these prisoners could enjoy.
The prisoners who received the tableware were all stunned. A large tray with several concave grids on it. It looked like it was made of iron, and they didn't know what it was used or how it was used. The sailors who made the meal knew that they didn't know it, and they were a little proud and funny. In fact, they were the same at the beginning.
"Get the bowl right, go to the side to line up to get some food."
This is a bowl? It’s too luxurious for the new and old man to make a bowl. The brave prisoner picked up the plate and knocked it. The metal echo was clear and pleasant.
According to the guard's arrangement, the sailors stood in a row, and the sailors began to make them rice. A few steamed buns were placed, and a few large grids filled with fried salted fish, pickles, a few dried radishes, and a separate large bowl of salted broth. They told them that they could add them after they had finished eating, and drink the tea next to them casually.
The prisoners who received the food immediately squatted and started eating.
How to say it? What did you eat in the same ingredients before? Is it pig food? I can't help but feel resentful to the chef on the boat before.
With the addition of modern seasonings, this group of prisoners ate delicious food that they had never eaten in this life. The red spicy and salty broth made them stick their tongues out, but they couldn't stop. They were sweating profusely and their mouths were bulging. The big belly had already added two meals.
The prisoners who had not yet started eating were even hungry.
