"What's your name?"

"Tan San."

"Is there a daimyō?"

"Nope."

The young staff officer who was sitting behind the desk and recording frowned, this was already the fifteenth two, three, four he had seen today, this kind of name resolution was too low, and the staff officer felt that his statistical results today might be much smaller than expected.

"My family lives in Dajinjing Village, and I have been here for almost ten days."

The answer is very clear, but where is this big Jinjing Village?

Forget it, it doesn't matter, anyway, today is just a preliminary statistical screening, as long as you make sure that the honest guy in front of you is a Han.

The staff officer neatly wrote on a wooden plaque:

Dajinjing Village, Tan San, Ethnic Han.

Then write on the back of the wooden sign:

Longdao six years and Wuli Post issued, see the release.

This is actually a road sign issued by the Qi army, and when they go home, they are stopped by other attacking troops as enemy troops.

"Take it, go to the gate and get five catties of grain." The staff officer handed the wooden card to Tan San, and then continued to shout: "Next!" ”

"What food!"

Tan San was holding a five-pound fried noodle bag, a little unable to believe the truth of the matter.

He has seen a lot of soldiers in his life, when he was a child, he saw the officers and soldiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty passing by before the door, and later went up the mountain to avoid the Mengwu cavalry, if the old man Cao Zhuangzi who liked to dance with knives and guns and the bandits on the mountain were also considered soldiers, then he had already seen six armies belonging to different forces.

The "bandits" of the Qi army in front of him were the first army not only not to rob the mother-in-law's food, but also to give out food.

Tan San quietly rubbed the cloth bag containing fried noodles with his fingers, such a large piece of cloth, whether it is to make a furoshiki or sew clothes, it can be regarded as a good material.

This piece of cloth alone is already a lot of wealth for a poor tenant like Tan San.

"Don't rush to leave!"

A military policeman of the Qi army stood on a high place with a loudspeaker and shouted to someone who had just come out of a prisoner of war camp:

"Twenty people on the same road together! Don't let the wolves go! ”

This is true, the Taihang Mountains are mountainous, wild wolves and wild boars are in groups, and you can see leopards and tigers from time to time.

For this reason, the Qi army also specially issued a wooden stick to each of the released captives - in fact, it was just a captured spear, remove the head of the spear, and return the barrel of the gun to them.

"There will be a team of people who are not enough for a while, wait first! Go to the front shed to drink tea and watch the play, and wait until you have enough people before leaving! ”

"Can you still watch a play?"

The captured soldiers quickly forgot their fears and became excited—they can't be blamed for this, the northwest is a recreational desert, and everyone has to sweat all their sweat in the fields for a bite to eat in a good year, let alone this unlucky year.

Now even the housekeeper of the Shihou family doesn't have much entertainment on weekdays, and maybe it's the real time when the family master, young master, lady, and miss can afford to raise a troupe - now Shanshan doesn't even have a horse to sell.

Therefore, as soon as they heard that they could watch the play, all the captives, regardless of whether they could get together or not, all rushed to the side of the stage - anyway, the soldiers of the Qi State let them go and gave them rations, and they would definitely not be embarrassed by their suffering because they came to see the play.

But a beating with a stick was inevitable - not because the Qi soldiers bullied them, but because they didn't line up.

It had taken more than an hour just to screen the prisoners for release, but now when they heard that there was a show, the efforts of the gendarmes were ......in vain.

……

In Xu Shiyang's original era, it was already the twentieth century when drama was introduced to the Central Plains, but in the case of lowering stage standards such as lighting, it was not difficult to "invent" this "new opera" situation, especially since Xu Shiyang still had Gu Hengbo such a top talent in singing and dancing.

Unlike traditional operas, which mainly take the route of entertaining people, Qi drama has the main purpose of educating people, and all the plays staged contain obvious political propaganda purposes.

For example, when Qi needs to mobilize manpower to renovate water conservancy projects, programs such as "Dayu Water Control" are usually staged on the construction site, and the focus is on the aspects of the people living and working in peace and contentment after the success of water control, rather than publicizing how hard it is to control water.

The plot of Dayu's three passes through the door without entering is compressed, but the story of his love with Tu Shan or the battle against various water monsters has been hyped.

This is actually just to make the audience feel happy and add coolness.

It's just that the propaganda department of Qi State used the silent method of moistening the rain to secretly poke and poke the audience to indoctricate: It is not hard to control the flood, but on the contrary, it is a good opportunity for a double harvest in love and career!

Combined with the fact that the workers involved in water conservancy projects can get good remuneration, in recent years, the people of Qi have not only ceased to regard the construction of water conservancy projects as a daunting task, but also rushed to work on the construction site.

The same is true for locust control, and the same is true for wars, every time Qi needs to mobilize a lot of manpower to carry out a major action, the close coordination of the propaganda team is always indispensable.

The same was true of the war against Shanshan—or rather, because the political significance of the operation was greater than the military significance, and the importance of the propaganda department was raised to an unprecedented level.

The repertoire prepared by the drama club for the captives is not long (too long and easy to delay the trip), and the main dish is "The White-Haired Girl", which reflects the oppression of the landlords, and this kind of repertoire is naturally easy to resonate with the low-level peasants.

It's just that in order to improve the coolness, Xu Shiyang still made many changes to the story: the first half basically plagiarized the classic bridges in history, and the second half was directly changed to Xi'er being snatched away by Huang Shiren (Huang Shiren's identity can be modified at any time as needed, for example, when he was fighting Tartar, he was a Tartar leader Huang Taiji, and now he is beating Shihou, he has become the master of one of the eight major princes) The moment when the Qi army appeared as a PLA general people's soldier and saved Yang Bailao's family, The old accounts of Huang Shiren and his doglegs were harshly settled, and the last heroic Qi soldier threw the usury account book into the fire in front of everyone.

Of course, Xu Shiyang knows that the tragedy is more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and if he adapts it like this, the classic repertoire will become a fast food drama like a white online text, which is estimated to be laughed at by future screenwriters.

But Xu Shiyang believes that the life of the people at the bottom of this era is already comparable to hell, and the experience of Yang Bailao's family in the play is probably not a great tragedy in the eyes of the people of this era.

Therefore, Xu Shiyang simply did the opposite, took a turn at the critical moment of the story, directly for the sake of coolness, and by the way, promoted the tall image of the Qi army of the Qi country, and through the sharp contrast before and after the arrival of the Qi army on the stage, he tried to establish an impression in the hearts of the people of Shanxi that they could live a good life by joining the Qi country.
