Chapter 217: Township soldiers are self-reliant

A gentry landlord has long lost his previous calmness, and he is in mourning and wants to ask for mercy, but he doesn't know how to speak for a while. Only Huang Wenbing, who was at the end, was snickering and happy at this time, his previous judgment was really correct, this new Jiangzhou regiment training was much more powerful than ordinary officials in terms of scheming and means, and only a few words were about to drive so many Jiangzhou gentry into a dead end.

But at this moment, he suddenly found that Sun Tu, who was about to leave, actually glanced at him, which made him slightly stunned, but he quickly understood, and immediately got up and shouted: "Sun Tuanlian, please stay and give me a chance to make amends......"

Huang Wenbing is really smart, and he only has one look to make him understand, otherwise he won't be able to sing this play. Don't look at Sun Tu's arrogant attitude at this time, but in fact, he doesn't want to really force these gentry into a dead end, otherwise he will inevitably leave a lot of trouble for himself, so someone must stand up and sing a red face at this time.

In the begging eyes of everyone, Sun Tu's footsteps finally stopped, and he turned to look at Huang Wenbing: "How do you plan to make amends?" To tell you the truth, I did plan to spend money to buy back those fields, but now, ......"

Huang Wenbing immediately answered: "I...... We are willing to return all the fields we bought to the government, and we dare not charge a penny. ”

Hearing him say this, everyone suddenly felt a pain in their flesh, but now that they are under the low eaves, they can only admit it, and they all nodded in approval: "No, yes, I'm just a little lard blindfolded, and I also ask Master Sun Tuanlian to spare us this time." He said that he gave up his hands and lowered his posture very low.

But to their surprise, Sun Tu still looked noncommittal: "Is it just that this can offset the mistakes you made before?" As he spoke, he glanced at Huang Wenbing again.

Huang Wenbingxin said that you really have a lot of appetite, but he quickly cooperated and said: "In addition, my Huang family is willing to take out another 300 catties of rice noodles as military food to reward the township soldiers......" When he said this, he showed a gritted teeth, and it seemed that he had made a lot of determination to endure the pain and bleeding.

"It seems that Huang Yuanwai does have the heart to change, what about you?" Sun Tu's face turned cloudy at this time, and he even showed a hint of a smile. How is this reaction not so that others can understand? Even if they scolded their greed in their hearts, they could only pinch their noses and admit it in such a situation, and immediately they proposed to send money and food to the township soldiers, or dozens of dollars, or one or two hundred catties of rice and noodles.

It wasn't until these people finished speaking in a mess that Sun Tu smiled and said, "Since you care so much about my hometown soldiers, it's not good for this official to do more about the past." But I hope that you will be the talker, and deliver the land deeds and the money and food to the barracks within three days, otherwise you will bear all the consequences. As he spoke, he didn't linger any longer, turned around and left.

When the footsteps of Sun Tu and the three of them going downstairs could no longer be heard, the gentry and landlords were greatly relieved, and at the same time regretted it. Knowing that this was the result, they should have agreed to Sun Tu's conditions before, so that they could get some compensation, instead of not only having to go out of the field for nothing, but also giving the township soldiers another sum of money and grain, which is really the end of stealing chickens and rice.

And in the midst of a bitter lament, someone suddenly said with suspicion on his face: "That Zhang Endong saw the opportunity quickly, he actually handed over the land deed early in the morning, not only did he not lose, but sold a good ...... to Sun Tu."

"I think there must be something wrong with this person, I'm afraid that he has colluded with that Sun Tu early on, so he can hold on to us!"

Human nature is accustomed to competing for merit, even if it is their own fault, they will find excuses for customers, and at this time, they naturally vented their dissatisfaction on Zhang Endong. These words fell into Huang Wenbing's ears but made him worry for a while, if these people knew that they were the first to be on the same side as them, I don't know what the fate would be?

Fortunately, these people didn't think about it, and after saying a few words, they remembered Huang Wenbing's kindness: "Brother Huang, this time it's really thanks to your quick enough reaction, otherwise I would have been in real trouble." ”

"Hehe, I'm just worried about taking a risk in my own industry." Huang Wenbing waved his hand a little weakly. But others don't think so: "This time, we owe Brother Huang a favor, and he will repay him one day." ”

"Yes, Brother Huang, if you have any difficulties in the future, just tell Fang, as long as you can help, I will definitely not refuse."

The men had spoken a little more before they dispersed. And Huang Wenbing was even more happy after settling his mind, so it seems that he is indeed right to take that step, not only befriending Sun Tu, but also letting these many people accept his favor, obviously this is Sun Tu's reward for himself: "It seems that I should really get closer to Sun Tuanlian to be ......"

¥¥¥¥¥

When I saw that the Jiangzhou gentry and landlords who were arrogant in the past and did not take their eyes on themselves and others suddenly obediently sent money and food into the barracks one after another, and after seeing their own regimental exercises, they were greeted and patted at the horse, and finally left with a thousand thanks, which really made the villagers who were practicing a little unbelievable their eyes, is this everyone's hard work every day caused by problems with their eyes and ears?

Before these sergeants could come up with a reason for discussing this, Sun Tu gathered them all together and pointed to the stack of field deeds placed on the desk behind him and spoke: "This official knows that you are all wondering why those gentry and landlords have come to the barracks to see me in the past two days. Now I will tell you the truth, they have come to return the land that was bought from you at a low price last year. Moreover, they not only returned the land deed, but also sent money and grain as our military salary and food in order to make amends. ”

Even though the military discipline of the township soldiers has been purged during this period of time, after hearing such an unexpected speech, everyone still couldn't help but exclaim, with an expression of disbelief on their faces.

Sun Tu didn't get angry because of everyone's reaction this time, but said with a smile: "This official knows that this matter sounds really bizarre, but this is the truth. Half a month ago, I promised you that I would help you get back the land that belonged to you within a month, and now it's time to fulfill your promise. Next, I will have those fields divided equally among each soldier, and I only hope that you will learn the lesson of this time, and do not let people take away the land on which they depend for their livelihood. ”

Even though everyone still had some doubts in their hearts, when Sun Tuzao's prepared manpower began to roll call, and handed over the corresponding two acres of military land to the other party, this person finally accepted this fact with surprise.

Soon, the entire township military camp was filled with the ecstasy of the lost and regained, and the cheers were even louder, if it wasn't for the fear of causing trouble, I am afraid that some people would shout Long live Sun Tuanlian. At this time, Sun Tu's status in the hearts of the township soldiers had become extremely high, far surpassing Yuan Wang, who was respected by them before.

Because everyone still remembers very well that when there was a shortage of food in the city, Sun Tuyuan Tuiguan also made a lot of efforts and helped them a lot, but in the end they still failed to keep their fields, and they were reduced to the point where they needed to listen to people's calls to barely make ends meet. But as soon as Sun Tuanlian made a move, he took back the land that belonged to them, and returned it to everyone, this kindness is too deep.

Seeing that these subordinate soldiers looked grateful to him, Sun Tu knew that this was the best opportunity to boost the morale of the army. So he stood in front of everyone again, and said with a serious expression: "Listen to me again. ”

With just one sentence, the military camp that was still noisy suddenly became silent, and no one made a sound, everyone looked up at Sun Tu with reverence, waiting for his teachings.

Sun Tu's gaze swept in front of the soldiers in front of him, and then he said, "Do you know why those gentry and landlords are willing to return the land deeds and money and grain to us free of charge this time?" It's not because they're so jealous of me, I'm just a small seventh-rank military attaché, not to the point where I can make them fearful, and the root cause is only you! ”

These words made all the villagers a little dazed, completely incomprehensible, so they could only continue to watch their own regimental exercises, waiting for him to make further explanations.

"I know that you have always thought that our township soldiers have a lowly status, so you never dare to argue with others, even if you are robbed of your money and grain industry, you can only swallow your anger. But what I want to say today is that all this is wrong, and we, as officers and soldiers, have not only the responsibility of defending our homeland, but also our own backbone and dignity. As long as we work hard and let the people and the court know our strength, then no one will dare to oppress us in the future.

"This time, those gentry and landlords gave in because they saw your hard work on weekdays, and they were afraid that one day we would fight back when we became elite divisions. So if we want to change our fate, we should work hard to make ourselves stronger! ”

Naturally, these words have a lot of flaws, and they can't withstand deep investigation at all, but they are enough to boost the morale of these township soldiers who have little knowledge, and at the same time are full of excitement because they got back the land deed. So soon, these people shouted: "I must work hard to become a real elite!" ”

"Okay, then the new method of practice will start tomorrow." Sun Tu smiled with satisfaction, he believed that after today, this township army would completely change and truly become an elite army of self-improvement and self-reliance.

Even the coming heat could no longer stop their enthusiasm for practice......
