Section XXI
When Lin Feng arrived at the Fengtai Military Station, the cavalry of the two brigades of the First Army had already lined up in a phalanx waiting for review, and the first thing was the military flag of the "Third Brigade of the Cavalry of the First Army of the Han Dynasty" and the "Fourth Brigade of the Cavalry of the First Army of the Han Dynasty" that Lin Feng had originally awarded.
In order to inherit the Western Han Dynasty and the Eastern Han Dynasty from the legal system, and the symbol of the Liu Han Dynasty is the "fire" virtue in the five elements, so the Han army chose red as the color of the military uniform when changing clothes, so this army looks very dazzling in this bright spring, and it can be seen from the formation that Colonel Rick's wonderful performance in the Tianjin battle has had a significant impact on the current Han army, so the queue training of the Han army has basically achieved everyone to pass, and the cavalry unit in front of him has done quite beautifully, Although those short-legged Mongolian horses made Lin Dashuai, who was accustomed to watching the knight wars in the western films, a little frustrated.
In order to welcome the arrival of the best leader, the two commanders of the 3rd and 4th Brigades obviously put a lot of effort into it, and as soon as the handsome flag of the Guards was revealed, like these thousands of cavalrymen, they drew their sabers, pointed obliquely at the sky, and shouted hoarsely and shouted slogans such as "Long live the great marshal" and "Our lord will win", and after chanting the slogans neatly, they jumped off their horses and knelt down and kowtowed at the same time.
But Lin Dashuai at this moment doesn't seem to have much spirit, to be honest, if Lin Feng first arrived in this era, he would definitely be enthusiastic when he saw today's scene, but now there is no so much poetry and picturesqueness, anyway, he is also a "famous general" who has fought a few vicious battles and cut off tens of thousands of heads, compared to the danger of the bloody battle against Tuhai at the beginning, this thousands of people really can't arouse Lin Feng's great interest.
However, since the officers and soldiers are so polite, it can't help but give some face, so when the cavalry performance is in place, Lin Feng also immediately cooperated with the cordial condolences, although it was a show, but from the can still feel that the soldiers' mental outlook is very good, and in the process of review, Lin Feng was surprised to find that there were a lot of Mongolian soldiers in these two cavalry brigades, and what is even more shocking is that in addition to the language, in terms of appearance, there is no difference between these Mongolian soldiers and the Han Chinese.
This shocking thing is mainly because of the military hat - because the law has been promulgated to strictly prohibit braids, so the people in the Han army-ruled area naturally restored their original hairstyles, and as we all know, the traditional hairstyle of our Han people is quite cumbersome, in addition to the combing has all kinds of eyes, its main feature is to pull the long hair on the top of the head, forming a high bun, so in this case, the flat top with a soft brim designed by Lin Feng is a bit out of place, Therefore, at the moment, the Han military hats were replaced with a very exaggerated bucket hat, and at this time, in order to show their absolute respect for the marshal, the soldiers took off their hats one after another when the marshal passed by, so Lin Feng was very surprised to see that all the Mongolian soldiers had their hair in a bun, and their outfits were the same as those of other Han soldiers.
Looking at the outfit of these Mongolian soldiers, Lin Feng's first reaction in his heart was "national oppression", this kind of thing was common in this era, but at this time, it was a little vigilant in Lin Feng's eyes, it was not that he was not used to seeing this kind of thing, he cared about the unity in the army - it is conceivable that if there is a very bad national contradiction in the army of the same number, it will definitely have a terrible impact on combat effectiveness, and the previous defection of Han soldiers in the Battle of Tuhai is a clear proof of this, Therefore, after discovering this phenomenon, Lin Feng immediately stopped the review, ordered the troops to be stationed on the spot, and summoned the two brigade commanders for questioning at the same time.
In the conversation that followed, the two cavalry colonels resolutely denied the marshal's doubts, and claimed in unison that there was absolutely no racial discrimination in his troops, and the reason why these current Mongolian soldiers dressed as Han was because of the "Dashuai Hongfu" and "Dahan Weide", and the previous national prejudices were absolutely insignificant in the face of the marshal's personal charm, and they voluntarily integrated into this united collective.
Of course, this standard official language has no value, but Lin Feng can't find anything wrong with it for the time being, at this time he is faintly dissatisfied with Zhou Peigong and Zhao Guangyuan in his heart, because at the beginning, his opinion was that this group of cavalry recruited from the Mongolian Chahar Department should be established separately, and he didn't know what crazy this group of bastard staff officers had, and they dared to mix them with Han soldiers, and he secretly swore that if it caused trouble such as a mutiny in the future, he would definitely let these bastards not be able to eat and walk around.
After questioning the officers to no avail, Lin Feng immediately led them straight to the grassroots barracks.
Because this has become the camp of the commander, so the barracks are quite quiet, the Fengtai camp is three steps, one post, five steps and one sentry is heavily guarded, the military prostitutes and other irrelevant idlers who haunt the camp in the past few days have been driven away by the vigilant troops, and the camp is immersed in a tense and solemn atmosphere - but this good impression was immediately broken by the officers and soldiers in the first barracks. When Lin Feng suddenly rushed in, the officers and soldiers inside were collectively lying on a small table, looking nervous and concentrating on fiddling with a small rice bowl, because of too much attention, Lin Feng and the other officers came in and they didn't notice it.
There was a slight noise, and when the dust of the dice in the small bowl settled, the officers and soldiers at the small table cursed quietly, and the dealer at the top swept the bet into his arms with his mouth in his mouth, and at this moment he raised his head slightly, and at a glance he caught a glimpse of his brigade commander, and at this moment his face turned into the color of pig liver, and he stared at himself with great righteousness, and his heart was frightened, and he hurriedly threw off the broken silver, and jumped to the side and curtsied.
All the soldiers were stunned, and they turned back together, and they looked at each other.
"It's okay, it's okay!" Lin Feng smiled dumbly, waved his hand disappreciatively, walked over and brushed off the gambling game on the table, put the silver back, pushed it towards the gambler at the table, turned his head and smiled at the dealer, "For the sake of Ben Shuai, how about this bet is exempt?!" β
"Thank you...... Grace of the Great Handsome! The dealer stammered, and his words were very stiff.
"Oh, nothing! - Are you a Mongol?! Lin Feng looked at the nervous junior officer with interest, "Second Lieutenant, what's your name?!" β
"My name is Hanba," Hanba Yilin Feng stood up and said respectfully, "Hui Dashuai, I am a Mongolian, but I will be Han from now on!" β
Lin Feng's eyes widened, it was a little inexplicable, could it be that Li Guangdi was so ahead of the times that he had already figured out the nationality system??! He said in surprise, "Could it be you...... Is your father or mother Han Chinese? β
"No, my Abba and Aunt are all on the grassland," Hanba looked at Lin Feng suspiciously, looking more surprised than Lin Feng, "The tall master in martial arts told us that the Han people are so different, the Liaodong people, the Shandong people or something are like this, so we Mongolians are also Han people!" β
Lin Feng is really a little dizzy, what is this kid talking nonsense, now he can't understand it at all, although listening to his Chinese is a bit stiff, but he is still fluent in words, won't this be because of the expression barrier? At that moment, he pointed to the first-class big kang next to him and beckoned, "Come on, come on, brothers sit down, let's nag today," he turned his head to Hanba and said, "Which tall man said that?" - Ahem...... Cough...... You must have been trained in martial arts, right? Then Ben Shuai still has to test you today, what do you mean by what you just said?! β
"Oh, Master Gao is Lord Gao Shiqi, he told us in martial arts that the Han people in the world are so fragmentary - for example, Lord Gao himself is a Xianbei person, what are the Shandong people are 'Dongyi people', what are the Sichuan people 'Ba people', and what are the Yunnan people 'Nanban people'...... And he also said......" Hanba raised his head and looked at Lin Feng, "He also said that Dashuai, you are a 'Shanyue person'......"
Lin Feng looked at Hanba in a daze, he was really speechless for a while, this Gao Shiqi really dared to think and dare to speak, and changed the nationality of the highest authority without a word, looking at Hanba with a serious expression at this moment, he couldn't help but think in his heart, could it be that these stupid birds really believe it? What simple children. On his face, he nodded again and again, "Not bad, not bad-it's hard for you to grow so much knowledge, how did the tall man teach?!" β
"Talk about 'history books'!" Hanba said proudly, "Lord Gao has told us all the books from ancient times to the present, especially what the Xiongnu moved south, and what chaos happened, Lord Gao also said that in fact, our Han people were originally Mongols, and our ancestors were all riding horses and herding sheep before they came to the Central Plains, but now they have changed to crops!" - These people who went with us have understood, and now we are the most learned people in the Chahar Department! β
Lin Feng is really a little convinced now, who said that the ancients were stupid and rigid? Look at Gao Shiqi, this is really a genius, once this brainwashing concept is taught, it can be learned and used immediately, and it can go further, I was greatly amazed in my heart, and patted Hanba's shoulder affectionately at the moment, and said with a smile on my face, "That's right-that's actually the truth, for example, Ben Shuai...... There are also Chen Menglei Chen and Li Guangdi Li, we are all 'Shanyue people', but our ancestors did not ride horses and herd sheep, but hunted in the mountains and fished in the rivers - but now we are all Han Chinese!" Lin Feng looked at the officers and soldiers around him, and added with a smile, "Actually, the so-called 'Han people' were originally like this, you think about it, they are the same kind of Chinese dialect, but the way of speaking in various places is very different, and that's because of this!" β
"Yes," Han Ba said, after answering for so long, he was no longer nervous at the moment, "Lord Gao is actually right, the leaders of our tribe have made mistakes before, we used to be because the Central Plains people didn't sell us ironware, salt, and cloth, and didn't let us go to the Central Plains, so we went to war, if we are all Han in the future, then of course there will be no such problem - we can go wherever we want, plant crops if we want, buy whatever we want, then what kind of war is there to fight?!" Speaking of this, he paused, his face was full of longing, but his expression was extremely solemn, "So this method is good--we are Mongols first, and then Han Chinese-like like all the other Shanyue people, Ba people, and Nanban people, everyone is actually a family!! β
Lin Feng was silent when he heard this, at this time he had to look at this simple Mongolian man with a new attitude, and now this set of theories has obviously gone far beyond the scope of brainwashing, and has risen to a certain concept of social harmony, and it is undeniable here that although the Mongolian man in front of him is very simple, he is by no means a fool, after accepting Gao Shiqi's brainwashing, he has obviously formed his own concept at this moment. It's a very unique concept.
After being silent for a long time, Lin Feng spoke, "Then why are you still here to be a soldier now?" - Do you know what we're fighting for? β
"Serving as a soldier is for food - after we were scattered by the Jurchen barbarians, we became horse thieves, and we were hungry and full, so General Zhao recruited people and we passed," Hanba looked at Lin Feng embarrassedly, and hurriedly added, "But now we all understand the reason, Lord Gao Shiqi has told us, we are soldiers one is to feed and dress our families well, and the other is to fight the world with the marshalβnow those Jurchen barbarians in the south are bullying the Han and Mongols, and we are going to fight it; There are also Han people further south who hate us northerners and Mongols, and we will fight them too; And Korqin, Tuxietu, and Junggar also want to come over and bully us, so let's fight it too-anyway, only our big man and big handsome are the most fair in the world, and the others are mongrels who want to bully people! β
"Good!!" Lin Feng immediately applauded and admired, and turned his head to the others around him, "Well said, the reason why we want to come out and spill our blood is to seal the glory and wealth of our wives and sons, and the other is to create a peaceful world!" ββThose Jurchen Tartars ride on our heads as a prestige, let's beat it up now, in addition, all the mongrels who want to bully us, we have to cut off their heads, if everyone can trust Ben Shuai, trust the big man, just follow Ben Shuai to break through, and return the world to justice! β
