Chapter 656: Awakening
Lu Jiyuan was walking towards the school yard when he heard Yang Huairen's voice behind him, and he involuntarily stopped, wanting to hear what he wanted to say.
After listening to that paragraph, he was stunned, like many soldiers of the forbidden army present, he was stupid to listen to, that sentence was somehow, it was so easy, and it touched the most passionate heartstrings in their hearts.
No one spoke, but the expressions on their faces were full of excitement, they had heard a lot of the deeds of the Tongyuan Army, illusory, and sometimes they couldn't tell which of those stories were true and which were false.
Now an ordinary thing is told plainly from Yang Huairen's mouth, especially the generals who have participated in that tragic battle are standing in front of them, and those soldiers who have fought bloodily and defended the city wall are standing beside them, they feel as if this is the most real.
The army of the Great Song Dynasty, whether it was the border army or the forbidden army, looked mighty, but in fact it was always criticized and even looked down upon.
The bigwigs in the court looked down on them, the Hu people in the surrounding countries looked down on them, and even their own people looked down on them, thinking that they were incompetent and a bunch of waste.
They want to explain, they want to refute, but people ask if you have won a battle? can hold them speechless.
A man, especially a soldier, is always enthusiastic, and the moment he puts on a military uniform, the first thought is to dream that he will one day be able to gallop on the battlefield and make contributions.
For so many years, they had never seen a battlefield, let alone galloped.
There are Khitans, Tanguts, Tibetans, and even blue-eyed and golden-haired people of all colors called Hu by the Song people, who shuttle through the streets of the Great Song Capital, coming and going leisurely, without the consciousness of being an enemy at all.
Such a person does not feel very much like an enemy. On behalf of their country, there are still people who look like soldiers, and the rest, who do business, pull carts and deliver goods, dance and sing, are even less related to the enemy.
In the newspapers sent by the border army and the border land into the city, it is always said that there are Hu people who have come to the villages on the border of the Great Song Dynasty to burn and loot again, and they are forbidden soldiers, and they are naturally enthusiastic when they hear it, but the officials will not take it as a thing, even if they have too much blood in their brains and are about to explode, they still can't use it.
Everyone knows that the Tanyuan Alliance is like this, and they even know that the Khitans of the Great Liao State occupy the sixteen states of Yanyun that should belong to the Han people, which is an indelible shame and shadow for every Han person.
But so what? Being a soldier does not necessarily mean that you will be able to go to the battlefield, let alone that you will have the opportunity to fight bravely.
After a long time, the soldiers and officials looked half-dead, and they did not have much faith in the first place to be soldiers.
Later, they felt that the life of a gangster was actually quite good. Don't worry about three meals, there is money to get every month, although it is not much, occasionally go into the city to eat and drink to see the little lady during the break, it is still enough.
When a monk strikes the bell for a day, they are more moisturized, just chanting the scriptures, and there is no need to bother to hit the bell, in case it disturbs the ears of the generals, it is not good.
Yang Huairen's victory over the Xia army in Huanzhou is a good news, the Hu people are not so powerful, and the Song people are not so wasteful, for them, they are also proud in their hearts.
It's just that in this way, their hearts, which were already stagnant, have more or less stirred up a ripple, and they don't have a lot of ideas, but they will not be able to sleep at night, and if they fall asleep, they will also have a sweet dream that they have forgotten for a long time.
Later, their immediate boss said that they would take them to do a great thing, and after the deed was completed, they would all enjoy endless glory and wealth, and they would also bless their children and grandchildren.
They didn't think about it, but they just believed it, because for them, there were not many opportunities for the frog at the bottom of the well to jump out and look at the sky that was not round.
On a fine day, they followed their commander to the city gate for a leg ride, but nothing major happened, and they even fished the city gate in anyway.
But the situation after that suddenly changed, the official family asked them to move out of the Qionglinyuan forbidden army camp and move to a valley thirty or forty miles away, as if they were a group of stragglers.
If you are looked down upon by others, then forget it, if you are looked down upon by your own emperor, that kind of loss is as helpless as a child abandoned by your parents.
The sinking began on the day of entering the valley.
No one can see the future, just like standing in the middle of a valley and not seeing the world beyond the valley. From sunrise to dusk, I couldn't tell the difference between yesterday, today, and tomorrow.
Today is a little different, the time is not enough, the loud sound of the horn woke them up from a sad or sad dream, and subconsciously remember that it was General Yang who said that he would train today.
It's just that if you don't understand the training, why are you angry so early, I always feel that the two new generals Yang have a little bit of a chicken Si Chen.
The chickens didn't crow, and they didn't care about the roosters and hens, so that people would not sleep peacefully, which would make people angry.
And then what is even more annoying is that after the hour has passed, those who have not entered the school field have to receive ten kills for one person, which is ...... Isn't it a bit of a fuss?
The former generals didn't do this, they deducted some salary, that is, they beat people at every turn, this is not good, aren't the two surnamed Yang afraid of losing the morale of the army?
Captain Lu Jiyuan's father is still a marquis, and he was also a meritorious man in the army back then, Yang Huairen didn't give any face, he still beat Captain Lu's ass to the flesh, although he could still walk after the beating, but it must have been something he endured.
Thinking that I was going to be so "crackling" and suffering ten times, I wanted to bare my teeth when I thought about it.
But in the end, Yang Huairen stood up and said something, and he didn't understand why he felt so excited in his heart, just like a withered flower, blooming in the spring of the garden, and the heart that had been sleeping for a long time woke up again.
There is no doubt that the soldiers of their Tongyuan Army are heroes, but the men in our forbidden army are not bears!
Disobeyed the military order and delayed the time of the assembly, and will be beaten and punished, we admit it, you want to train before dawn, we also admit it, as long as you can train us to be heroes like the soldiers of the border army of the Tongyuan Army, we will obey you!
Because, we also want to fight side by side with those heroes!
