Chapter 66: Benevolence and Righteousness at the Celebration Banquet

There was still some time before leaving the banquet, Wang Baoshan took the soldiers in his battalion and returned to his barracks first.

After not coming back for more than half a month, I found that everything in the barracks was still the same, still the same neat. Wang Baoshan praised the soldiers left behind, and asked the other soldiers to rest for a while before going to the banquet.

After settling the soldiers, Wang Baoshan went back to the barracks where he slept, and found Jin Ling'er in the room, looking at the kennel-like bed, not only was he not happy, but he had a headache.

Jin Ling'er looked at it for a while, was amazed, and said, "I can't see it! It's quite clean." ”

"I won't let you come back with me, you have to come, you see! ”

"It's a little inconvenient, but I don't have anywhere to go! Don't worry, I'm here, you go and sleep with them." ”

"This camp is full of men, and it's not suitable for you to live, so if you don't have a place to go, I'll find you a place, how about it?"

Where Wang Baoshan can let her live in this barracks, it is even more unclear when it is passed out, and after thinking about it, he decided to place Jin Ling'er in the back mountain of the house, where he used to build a thatched shed.

When Jin Ling'er heard this, she also knew the place he was talking about, and said, "The place you said is not bad, it is quite clean, and it is barely suitable for me to continue my cultivation." However, there was something about the place that I couldn't fathom. ”

"Why can't I figure it out, I used to live there quite well!" Wang Baoshan couldn't figure it out when he heard what she said, and he was a little puzzled.

"I don't know for the time being, but I'll know until I've seen it. Jin Ling'er shook her head, indicating that she didn't know either.

Wang Baoshan saw that she was willing to go, so he didn't pay attention to any things that he couldn't figure out, and said, "I'll take you to see it later, and then talk about it!"

As soon as they were about to leave, two soldiers walked in from outside the barracks, and Wang Baoshan recognized them as brothers from the Chinese military camp, so he asked them what was the matter.

Among the two soldiers, a soldier who was about the same age as Luo Ying came forward to give Wang Baoshan a military salute and said, "General Wang, the commander asked the brothers of your battalion to go to the banquet." It's not too early, so don't miss the hour. ”

Wang Baoshan couldn't help but be a little surprised when he saw that he was so young, that he was a soldier of the Zhongjuntang, and asked him: "What is your name? Why did you become a soldier at such a young age?"

"My name is Lu Yun, as for why I became a soldier, I just wanted to be a general at such a young age like General Wang. ”

Wang Baoshan looked at this little soldier named Lu Yun, who was neither humble nor arrogant, and wanted to be a general, and said, "Okay... Work hard in the future... You go first, and we'll go later. ”

I didn't know that this little soldier Lu Yun was not in a hurry to leave, and said: "Before coming, General Du asked me to bring a message, saying that when General Wang went, he would bring the guqin, saying that he wanted you to help everyone have fun then." ”

When Wang Baoshan heard this, he couldn't help but have another headache, and said in his heart that this Du Xiaosan was really going to make trouble! But today is a happy day, and it is not good to postpone it, so he had to send Lu Yun and them back first, and they will arrive later.

Just as he went back to his barracks, took out the Mochizuki Guqin, and put it on his back, Jin Ling'er ran over mysteriously and said to him: "That little soldier named Lu Yun is not simple! He has a body of extraordinary powers, if he can be used for you, he will definitely be able to prevent disasters for you in the future." ”

When Wang Baoshan heard this, his head was big, so he said angrily: "Miss Jin!

"Hmph...... I'm not thinking about you. Jin Ling'er pouted his old man, and he made a gesture to grab Wang Baoshan's arm.

"Okay, okay, I'm afraid of you..."Wang Baoshan hurriedly dodged.

"Then promise me to take him under the camp. Jin Ling'er saw that he was soft, so she gave up her plan to arrest him.

"He is from the Chinese army, how can I come over?" Wang Baoshan had to perfunctory excuse, meaning that I can't ask for people.

Jin Ling'er saw that he was perfunctory, so she was annoyed and said: "You and that Wang Qiang are sworn brothers, that's not a trivial matter for you to say, if you don't ask for it, I'll help you ask for it." ”

"Good... I'm going to come here. Wang Baoshan touched his forehead, a little reluctant in his heart.

"Well, that's pretty much it, don't be reluctant, you'll naturally understand what I'm saying in the future. ”

"Okay, it's not too early, let's get over quickly! I'll take you to that place when I'm done." Wang Baoshan didn't want to talk to her anymore, so he began to tidy up his clothes, and prepared to call Liu Qing and ask him to gather the soldiers in the camp so that they could go to the banquet together.

When Jin Ling'er saw that he was going to the banquet, he said, "Go ahead, I'll wait here for you to come back." ”

When Wang Baoshan heard this, he couldn't help but be a little surprised, and asked, "Why don't you want to go and have a good time?"

"Alright then! I'll check ......."

Wang Baoshan looked at her reluctantly, and he was speechless. My heart said what kind of trouble is this? Just go, why do you have to let others coax you?

Jin Ling'er didn't care at all, and jumped up and down like a child going to eat wine.

When Wang Baoshan took the thirty-six soldiers in the battalion, plus Jin Ling'er, to the square in front of the Zhongjun Hall, the square was already overcrowded, crowded with people, and it was very lively.

As far as the eye can see, the entire square is full of people, and even the surrounding open space is full of people. Due to the large number of people, they could not find so many tables, chairs and benches for a while, so everyone had to reluctantly sit on the ground.

A dozen or so people sat around the ground, with a small basket of snow-white steamed buns, a clay pot of milky white rice soup, a clay pot of meat and vegetable chowder, and a small basket of dried wild fruits.

Although it looks simple and simple, it is also rich, like a banquet.

Fortunately, there are gaps between the circles of people, and it is also convenient to walk. Soon soldiers came over and led Wang Baoshan and them to a place that was specially vacated for them. After settling the soldiers and sitting down, Wang Baoshan was about to sit, but was pulled over by Du Xiaosan, who was not far away.

And Jin Ling'er was called over by Qiao Lanyi, saying that she was a girl's family, and it was inconvenient to sit with a group of old men, I don't know if she was talking about herself or Jin Ling'er.

The commander Wang Qiang, Zhao Qingshan and others naturally sat in the first place, under the steps in front of the Zhongjun Hall, which was originally arranged in the lobby, and Wang Qiang placed their seats here in order to behave equally.

For some reason, Li Jin, who is General Zuo, surprised everyone that he did not attend such a grand celebration banquet.

Fortunately, the right general Qiao Lanyi is here, she just took Jin Ling'er over again, and just took Li Jin's place, and now there are only five of them sitting on the main seat. An is mainly Wang Qiang, Zhao Qingshan, Qiao Lanyi and Jin Ling'er, as well as the representative of the mine slaves: He Dadou.

Wang Baoshan, Du Xiaosan, Cao Chong, etc., several centurions, and the generals of the Chinese army and the shogunate, sat together, and the rest were soldiers from various barracks, and then the new mine slaves.

Because the banquet had not yet begun, the soldiers were now talking and laughing, and no one was going to eat. And the miners can only learn from each other, no one eats, and they don't dare to act rashly. This is what He Dadou told them in advance, saying that they should not be seen as jokes and that they should understand the rules.

Wang Baoshan found that the miners were all new at this time, so he asked Du Xiaosan next to him. Du Xiaosan said that after these mining slaves came, they first arranged for them to be cleaned, and then each of them was given a set of clothes, otherwise they would come to the banquet and not smoke people to death, how could they make people eat.

Du Xiaosan also pinched his nose and asked Wang Baoshan how long he hadn't taken a bath and why he was sweating. Wang Baoshan couldn't cry or laugh, so he had to say that after he returned to the camp, he was too busy for a while.

As he spoke, Wang Qiang, who was in the first place, saw that everyone was almost here, so he stood up, cleared his throat, and said loudly: "You have worked hard, this time we can sit together, it can be regarded as the way of heaven." Don't be too inhibited, from now on, this is your home. Actually, I'm also a mine slave, and I've suffered from life worse than death. We came from a humble background, were beaten and scolded like pigs and dogs, and worked like cattle and horses, but what did we get back?"

He paused, glanced at the crowd, and seemed expecting someone to answer him, but did not answer him.

"In exchange for ridicule, in exchange for disgust......"

I don't know who in the crowd suddenly shouted such a sentence, and then everyone shouted in unison.

Seeing this, Wang Qiang smiled and said, "In that case, have you ever lived such a day?"

"But ......"

"Enough has been done a long time ago......"

"It wasn't a human life......

"We're going to live a good life......

At this time, there is no need for him to deliberately create it, and the atmosphere is already high. The people present shouted and shouted with excitement, and a considerable number of them even shed tears of happiness.

Yes, it's an exciting day, a day of celebration. A person has been suppressed for a long time, and once it is released, the emotional fluctuations will naturally be a little uncontrollable.

Seeing everyone's enthusiasm, Wang Qiang pressed his hand in the void and said: "Once upon a time, how desperate and helpless we were, and our lives were dark. I always believed that God would come to save us, but it was just a dream, and when we woke up, we were still suffering. In order to stop suffering, we must rebel, and we must rebel to the end. We are not for the powerful, not for fame and fortune, just to settle down and be a person who is not bullied, is this wrong?"

"No ......"

"It's not us who is wrong, it's the ...... of the world"

"We're not wrong......"

The crowd shouted, shouted, screamed, and cried......

Only then did Wang Qiang smile with satisfaction, he picked up the pottery bowl and filled half a bowl of rice soup into it. Then, he said: "At the beginning of the founding of our army, we established a people-oriented military discipline, and the whole army treated everyone equally. All the sergeants ate and drank together, ate together, drank wine. Today is a good day for our Black Wind Army, although we can't drink wine in a big bowl and eat meat in a big bowl, but we must firmly believe that that day will not be too far away, so let's make this bowl of rice soup together. ”

More than 5,000 people present poured white rice soup one after another, stood up, brought wine with soup, and dried it in one gulp.

This simple banquet has only officially begun, although there are no rich dishes of wine and meat, only the simplest steamed bun chowder, wild fruit and rice soup, but everyone is very satisfied, and the food is endlessly enjoyable and cheerful.

After all, they are all people who have been poor and have suffered hardships, and they don't care about wine and meat, as long as they can eat a full stomach. Therefore, this simple banquet has a different flavor than those big fish, big meat, wine and delicacies.

At the banquet, Wang Qiang made another painstaking tirade, which was nothing more than words of encouragement to the soldiers and work hard.

During this period, he took everyone to look forward to the future together, painting a picture of life that everyone has longed for for a long time and is very idealistic. made everyone present moved, and everyone was emotional, excited, and couldn't calm down for a long time......

Until the sky was dark and the stars were scarce, Du Xiaosan invited Wang Baoshan to play a song on the piano, so as to draw a perfect end to the celebration banquet.

Wang Baoshan couldn't shirk it, so he had to agree, and asked people to get out of the way, and played a song for everyone in front of the bright moon in the night sky, which even he didn't know.

Although no one can understand, it does not prevent people from loving beautiful things.

When the beautiful sound of the piano wandered melodiously in the empty square, the people present fell into the beautiful melody, and they were fascinated, and for a while, they forgot themselves.
