Chapter 1078: The Backbone of the Nation
Step, step, step!
Soldiers in black armor marched in a neat line across the fading streets, and there was silence as they passed, and all the residents living on both sides of the street watched the soldiers in silence.
And after the group of soldiers walked by, the street was quiet for a long time, and then there was some sound. Then it gradually became lively, but no matter how it was, it couldn't compare to the prosperity of the past.
Because everyone is deliberately lowering their voices. Seems to be afraid that he will disturb or anger something.
They are now the people of the dead country, and what they have just walked through is the conqueror who has wiped out the ruling class of their country.
"The tiger wolf of the Guy Country!" In the streets of the city, someone looked in the direction that the group of soldiers had just walked, and there was hatred in their eyes.
War will bring death, and when the Gay army enters the city, it means that the army that resisted them has been crushed.
"Shut up, my brother is dead, do you still want to drag our family to die with him?"
But as soon as the man lowered his voice and spoke, a stout woman slapped him next to him.
Under this slap, a red handprint suddenly appeared on his face, and the young man clenched his fists, pulled the extremely uncomfortable robe on his body, and said nothing.
"Go, send all my nephews to the school, don't get in the way here. ”
"We are Nier, and we should not learn the language of Gay. When the young man heard his sister-in-law's command, his face suddenly showed indignation.
"The nation of Nir has perished, and now we are the people of the kingdom of Gay. The woman picked up the thick stick beside her, and she assured her that if her little brother-in-law said anything that would cause trouble, she would not show mercy to her again.
"We are Neil. The boy looked at the wooden stick in his sister-in-law's hand and couldn't help but shrink his neck, but he still muttered stubbornly.
Call!
After hearing the words, the woman didn't say a word, picked up the stick in her hand, and smashed it at the young man in front of her, but it seemed that she was beating randomly, but in fact she smashed it into the fleshy place on the young man's body.
So although the boy was also beaten and screamed, he only suffered some flesh wounds in the end, and he could rest for a few days.
"Tell me, who is it now?" The woman who had beaten her brother-in-law held the wooden stick in her hand and stared at the young man with an extremely fierce gaze.
"Cover... Guy's countrymen. Under the pressure of his sister-in-law's gaze, the young man whispered reluctantly.
"Isn't that right?" the woman nodded in satisfaction when she heard the young man's answer.
"Sister-in-law, you forced me like this again, and it was the same when those officials asked us to wear their national clothes. The yielding young man complained to his sister-in-law with some dissatisfaction.
"I don't force it to be put on, I think I can live until now, and look at what happened to those who are dead and unwilling to wear the clothes of the Guy Country, all of them have been arrested and dug for the soil, do you want to go digging with you?"
"I don't want to. The boy suddenly shook his head subconsciously, he remembered what had happened when the army of the Guy Kingdom entered the city, and all those who resisted, including their families, were arrested and sent to serve the so-called forced labor.
It is said that these people will be reduced to slavery, and some of them will be given as slaves to those who have achieved military service in the country of Gay.
"If you don't want to, go and send your nephews to the school, and they must learn the language of Gay before they are ten years old, and they must follow along. ”
The woman told the boy that she had no sense of identity with her country, and that the only thing she resented was that her husband had been killed by the soldiers of the country.
But she already has two children, and now she can only bury her hatred deeply, and her children must be Guy's people to be able to live well.
"I don't want to learn it, the language of Gay is too difficult to learn. The boy's face was reluctant.
"I want to learn, but it's not appropriate for me to go to school at my age, so I went to learn and came back to teach me. ”
"Oh. After the young man heard his sister-in-law's words, he immediately got up with a twist, and went home while rubbing his buttocks, ready to send his two little nephews to the school.
......
"The history books and biographies of the country of Neer, these are all forbidden books that our army banned from handing over and destroying after entering the city, but so many have been found in your home, what do you say should be done with this matter?"
The officer in black armor asked an old man who seemed to be in good health, pointing to a stack of books half a man in front of him, in an elegantly decorated room.
"I'm from Nier, and I collect biographies of people in the history of Nier, what's wrong?" Hearing this question, the old man suddenly shouted angrily.
"Hehe, old gentleman, I have to remind you that this is the land of the Guy Country, and if you live here, you are the people of the Guy Country, understand?" said the officer with a smile.
"I'm from Neil. The old man replied resolutely, without showing weakness.
"Sir, before you say these words, you would better think about your family. The officer pointed to the side and was pointed at by the soldier with a sword, a group of old and young women and children who were trembling together, all of whom were relatives of the old man.
"Is this the way we are doing? I actually used my relatives to threaten me, an old man. ”
"No, no, no, it's not a threat, it's just a friendly reminder that with the way I am now, I could have reduced my whole family to slavery. ”
"What do you want?" asked the old man with a grim face.
"I heard that Sir, you are very knowledgeable and proficient in the surrounding Chinese, and I would like to hire you as a teacher in the school to teach the local children to learn the language of the Gay country. ”
The officer smiled and said what he meant, the old man had a high prestige in the local area, and if he could persuade him to teach in the academy, he would be able to further strengthen the rule of the Gay Kingdom in the land.
"No way. The old man didn't think about it, so he flatly refused.
"You are old and dizzy, blind and blind, maybe you didn't hear the ban we issued, so we can also treat these banned books from your home as if we didn't see them. The officer didn't seem to hear what the old man said, "But if you don't cooperate, then don't blame us for being honest with you." ”
"We have destroyed my country, and now we are going to exterminate our writing and customs, this is to cut off our roots, and I will never submit to you. ”
The old man was so angry that he got up from his seat directly, and he saw everything that the army of the Gay had done after the invasion, forbidding the common people to learn or use the original script, abolishing the original monetary system, the unit of measurement, and promoting the language, script, customs, clothing, currency, and units of measurement of the Gay country throughout the country.
"The country of Nier has been wiped out, and everything they used to have will naturally be wiped out along with it, which is the general trend. ”
Seeing that this old man had always had this attitude of not making progress, the smile on the officer's face gradually disappeared, "If you cooperate with us, then everything is easy to say, but if you still have this attitude, I can only choose to implement the laws of our Gai country." I advise you to know each other, and you shouldn't want to see your relatives become prostitutes and slaves!"
"......" The old man suddenly trembled with anger, he turned his head to stare at his relatives, then turned away again, closed his eyes, "No matter what, I will never cooperate." ”
"Hehe, such a hard bone, it's really rare. ”
"That was a real disappointment. The old man replied.
"But what's the use of hard bones," the officer smiled disappretently, "and do you really think I have no way to deal with this old stubbornness?"
"Those of you who want to be slaves, stand up. The officer slowly paced in front of the old man's relatives. No one moved, and everyone looked at this black-armored officer with an ordinary face with a frightened face.
"You all want to keep this kind of life and continue to live, right?" said the officer's smile brightly, "In that case, why don't we persuade the old man of our family to cooperate with us." ”
"My grandfather has a stubborn temper, and what he decides is not something we can influence. At this moment, a child with some soft yellow fluff on his upper lip spoke timidly.
"Then it can't be helped. The officer shook his head in pity. And the fear on the faces of this group of old and young women and children when they saw such an attitude of this brutal officer became even stronger.
"Of course, it's not impossible, our old man doesn't cooperate, you can cooperate with us. ”
"Bastard, what do you want to do?" the old man heard the officer's words, and then saw that his children and grandchildren had a strange look on their faces, and his face immediately turned red.
"Do nothing but use your fame to make the city more peaceful. The officer waved his hand, and immediately two sergeants stepped forward, grabbed the old man, and dragged him to the house behind.
"If you dare to ......" The old man who was dragged away looked at his relatives and tried to warn him, but as soon as he said a few words, his mouth was stuffed into a cloud of rags.
"What we did next was not very complicated, which was to go out to dinner with us officers, take a walk, and chat by the way. ”
The officer instructed, recalling everything he had learned in the military academy, how to use the local celebrities or the power of the local snake to better rule after the war.
"Well, this young lady, I don't know how old you are, whether you are married, I have a nephew......" After a moment of command, the officer's eyes fell on a young girl, and her eyes lit up, and she suddenly had an idea in her heart......
