Chapter 431 Struggle for the cause of democracy
As soon as Ge Erdan's words came out, the originally lively table suddenly quieted down, and the happy expressions faded from the faces of Uncle Ge, Aunt Ge and Ge Tiedan, and were replaced by deep worry.
"Second brother, are you saying that in seven days, you will be on the march?" Uncle Ge didn't know when he took out another cigarette, lit it and pulled it up, but Aunt Ge didn't raise any objections.
Aunt Ge put down the dishes and chopsticks, let out a long sigh, and asked more and more worriedly: "Beiyu has plagued us for so many years, but it's not easy to fight, and I don't know if you are going, is it a blessing or a curse?" You see, you haven't even said that your daughter-in-law has a room, and you haven't left a room for our Ge family, and you said that if you are ......"
When Aunt Ge said this, she seemed to think that it was very unlucky to say this, so she snorted twice, and then laughed again: "How can I say these words, I heard that the marshal led the troops to fight, and he has never been defeated, you are a soldier under the handsome, you will definitely be fine, you will definitely be fine.....
"Mother, it doesn't matter, even if you unfortunately die in battle, the marshal will also give you a pension, our family can be rated as a martyr, and you can pay half less taxes a year, if you don't have a son, the eldest brother's son or daughter can get a place to be an official in the government, which is a good thing."
As long as the eldest brother is still there, he can marry a wife and have children, and leave a queen for our Ge family. Speaking of the great marshal benevolence and righteousness, the family is an only son, not allowed to join the army, only one of the two men in the family is allowed to join the army, this is the benevolence of the marshal, good governance, with such a benevolent and loving marshal to go out to fight, even if it is worth dying. Ge Erdan listened to the words of his relatives, and just said such a sentence lightly.
"What are you talking about, Erba, don't say these unlucky words, I'm willing not to have any land, and I don't want any compensation, as long as you live." Ge Tiedan saw that the more his younger brother said, the more outrageous it became, so he spoke out to correct the other party's inappropriate remarks.
"Big brother, why can you live a good life, do you still want to live that kind of life of displacement, life is precarious? Or do you still want to go to the days when you were forced to pay taxes by the government and oppressed by the gentry in a famine year?
Our kind of good life can only be obtained by relying on the marshal, so we must die for the marshal, defend the marshal, and defend the system set by the marshal. And we have lived such a good life, and we can't forget that there are still many poor people like us who have worked hard all their lives but have no place to stand. Through struggle, we will bring this system to them, so that they can enjoy the rich life brought by hard work.
So that they will no longer be tormented by poverty and oppressed by the government for generations because of their origin, which is the difference between the army of the commander and other armies.
In the army, there are many young people like E, who are willing to sacrifice their lives for the sake of defending the commander, defending the system set by the commander, and for the well-being of millions of other poor people in the world. For you, you are fighting for democracy, fighting for fairness and justice in the world, and you are dying. When Ge Erdan talked about the war, he unconsciously told the theory of social democracy taught by the political commissar on weekdays.
Uncle Ge, Aunt Ge and Ge Tiedan had never heard of this set of theories of the Democratic Party, so they naturally didn't understand it, but they found that Ge Erdan had a sacred expression on his face when he talked about these things, and they knew that Ge Erdan at least thought that fighting a war seemed to have a noble purpose.
Moreover, these words of Ge Erdan unconsciously said Liu Renyu's intention to change the status quo.
Ge Tiedan, Aunt Ge and Uncle Ge were neither surprised nor afraid when they heard these words, but this was because the people who had rebelled in Shaanxi over the years were like carp crossing the river, there were countless of them, and they had also been coerced by thieves, and in fact they embarked on the road of rebellion, because they did not have any special reaction to Liu Renyu's intention to rebel.
"If you go to war, you can only burn incense and worship the Buddha at home, please Bodhisattva bless your safety, and that's the only way to go." Aunt Ge saw that her son was so resolute, and she had mixed feelings for a while, and she didn't know what to say, so she held back to the end, and held back such a sentence.
At this time, Uncle Ge turned into a stuffy gourd and smoked one after another camel brand cigarettes that were difficult to buy on the market.
Ge Tiedan held the pocket watch given by his brother in his hand and pinched it desperately, hating to pinch this pocket watch out of the water.
Silence, wordlessness, enveloped the family of four, and all that remained in the room was the beeping of the firewood burning in the fireplace.
Ge Erdan looked at life and death so lightly, but it made his family more and more worried.
Ge Erdan saw this emotion of his relatives, so he smiled slightly and said: "Father, mother, eldest brother, you just have to rest assured, our Jingbian Fort Army training is extremely strict, starting at six o'clock in the morning and practicing until half past eleven, starting at two o'clock in the afternoon and practicing until half past four. Isn't it courage to fight on the battlefield! The forehead is so strong, even if it encounters the enemy, it is not afraid. ”
When Ge Erdan said this, he suddenly unbuttoned his clothes, revealing muscles that were as hard as iron, he showed off his figure, and then put his clothes back on, and then said: "Our commander has said that when we go out to fight, the commander will match our soldiers with three layers of heavy armor, with armor for self-defense, ordinary swords, guns, swords, halberds, and bows and arrows, but they don't look at it very much, because they can't hurt us."
Besides, I heard that the equipment of the northern captives is very poor, and the will to fight is not strong, compared with our Jingbianbao army, it is really far behind, they are no longer the fierce Mongols at the beginning of the founding of the Ming Dynasty. ”
When Ge Erdan said these words, his face was full of confidence, and he didn't seem to look at Beiyu at all.
He had such an attitude, which made Uncle Ge, Aunt Ge and Ge Tiedan feel relieved for no reason, and they all felt that it was not a very dangerous thing to fight the northern captives.
"Okay, second brother, you are so magnificent, my brother really admires it, come, drink a few bowls with my brother, I wish you a victory, kill more enemies, and make more gains, it is best to be an officer and give our Ge family glory to our ancestors." Ge Tiedan saw that his younger brother was very resolute, and his younger brother was also very confident, so he stopped being verbose, and just blessed the other party to win the battle.
"Thank you, big brother, I will definitely make more achievements and earn a bright future." After Ge Erdan said this, he raised the bowl and drank all the wine in the bowl.
"That's it, after all, there will be such a day when you are a soldier, come, second son, drink a bowl with your father, go out to fight bravely, don't lose the face of our Ge family." Uncle Ge also wanted to open it, so he simply let go of his mind and drank with his son.
"Dad, you just have to rest assured, when you get to the battlefield, you must charge ahead, retreat behind, and never be a deserter." Ge Erdan said this sentence fiercely, and drank all the contents of the bowl, and then he didn't know whether he drank too much, or how, he actually lifted the bowl in his hand like a conditional launch, and threw it on the ground with a click.
What could happen if the porcelain bowl fell to the ground, of course, the porcelain bowl was torn apart and shattered.
"Hey, I said Erlingzi, you drink well, what do you do to smash the porcelain bowl, do you don't need money for the porcelain bowl?" Aunt Ge, who had been silent before, saw that Ge Erdan smashed the porcelain bowl without saying a word, and immediately scolded her son in great distress.
"Yo, I'm sorry, my mother, I've heard stories a few times in the storytelling, and every time I say this, I have to drop the wine bowl, so as to make a strong momentum, I don't want to do it on a whim, but I did something wrong, I'm sorry, mother." Ge Erdan grinned and said apologetically.
"You know how expensive a porcelain bowl is, but don't drop it casually, or you will be whipped with a shoehorn." Aunt Ge said unrelentingly.
"Got it, mother, I will never fall again, come, dad, big brother, let's continue to drink." Ge Erdan first apologized to his mother, and then took a bowl and drank it with his eldest brother and father.
The father and son reunited after a long absence, and each was in a very good mood, and it was only after drinking that the sky was dark, the sun and the moon were dark, and the head was as big as a fight, so they ended the battle and fell asleep.
The three people who drank were really powerful, and they were all eaten by Aunt Ge Zhang Luo's big table of dishes.
For this result, Mrs. Ge was very happy.
**
The seven-day holiday does not seem to be very long for Ge Erdan, he returned home and helped his family renovate the house and the village to renovate the village office, and the seven days passed in a flash.
On the morning of the seventh day, Ge Erdan and Yang Jiangning were leaving, and Ge Tiedan and Yang Jiangyun, the two lieutenants, took all the villagers to the gate of the city that had not yet been repaired, ready to send off these soldiers.
When parting, it is natural to be sad and parting, and it is indispensable to be reluctant to leave and can't bear to leave, but what should go must be gone after all.
Ge Erdan, Yang Jiangyun and several other knights said goodbye to the people in the village, and then went straight to the north of the horse.
The family is leaving, and the relatives who stay in the village will naturally give it away.
Aunt Ge and Uncle Ge couldn't see Ge Erdan's back clearly until no matter how hard they tried, they turned back three times and reluctantly went back.
The family couldn't bear to part, and these soldiers were not the same, but they had more important things to do, so they could only return north without hesitation.
"Jiang Yun, you have seen it, under the rule of Dashuai, how good our family is living!" Ge Erdan said to Yang Jiangyun beside him while riding a horse.
"Who says it's not, seeing that our family is doing so well, we are worth it no matter how much we suffer and how tired we are, don't you say?" Yang Jiangyun replied with a smile.
"That's natural, our family is out of the sea of misery and living a good life, but there are still many places in Daming where the people are still living in dire straits, they are still waiting for us to save, waiting for us to liberate, let's go, Jiang Yun, follow Dashuai, even if it is a loss of life, we must realize the ideals of our social democratic party and bring the glory of democracy to every corner of Daming." Ge Erdan shouted loudly.
"yes, okay." Yang Jiangyun agreed approvingly.
