After the meeting, all the captains and military commanders hurried to their respective units, gathered their men and began a campaign to correct their minds, and the soldiers were constantly questioned; What was your life like and why? What kind of life are you in now, why is that, and who gave you such a life? You should ask yourself what you should do with your conscience.

There were constantly participating soldiers who wept when asked about the past, and there were constantly soldiers beating their chests for their short-sightedness and ingratitude. When the village chief returned to his village, he summoned his own villagers to ask the same questions, and the same scene kept appearing in all corners of the base area.

At this time, a song "We Are Soldiers" sung by Lu Shijiao was sung in the entire base area and in the barracks.

The power of singing is powerful, especially this kind of song close to one's own heart, as a result, in less than two days, the military's thinking has completely changed, but another situation that makes people cry and laugh is even more headache.

According to the regulations, there is a family but only one of his sturdy soldiers, let him retire, and the military land will not be recovered, this is a reward for the death of the cottage soldiers, this is to reserve labor for the development of production, but now, no matter what the situation, the soldiers do not retreat, and the parents and wives of the entire base area have rushed to come, and some people in the family are soldiers, so they beg the king to beg the commander not to drive them away, and those who are not soldiers will block the barracks and ask to be soldiers, and if they do not agree, they will not leave.

The captains of each team ran to the caves of Lu Shi and Guo Tianxing several times a day, hoping to recruit these enthusiastic good men into their subordinates, or you have to find a way, you can't help everyone sleep and train.

But for the sake of the construction of the base area, the soldiers really could not be expanded, and there was no way for Lu Shi to hold a meeting of 10,000 people on the colonel field again, holding a big iron horn in his hand, and began to persuade people.

"Brothers, we understand and appreciate your feelings, but what I want to say is, first, we now have 5,000 people in various arms, not counting the artisan battalion, and I dare to say that these 5,000 men and horses are all elite soldiers (those soldiers at the bottom immediately raised their chests high) Our 5,000 people can definitely defeat the 50,000 rabble of other cottages, and our 5,000 people can definitely defeat the 20,000 officers and soldiers (the soldiers below are full of confidence)"

Lu Shi changed his words and said, "However, how many people are there in our base area? Men, women, and children together are 50,000 people, so on average, every ten people have to feed a soldier, this is a terrible ratio, we have captured now, and we can still hold on, but this is not a long-term solution, only if you work hard to produce we can make great progress, only by building our base area, we can have no worries, all this can not be disconnected. Our soldiers will not retreat, so that you can produce with peace of mind and live a stable life, and you will work hard to produce, so that our soldiers have sufficient food and grass and equipment without worries. It's all for the base and for the old folks, so I ask you to do every job in your hands, which is all for the cottage, for me and for the great commander. Let's go back, go back, the man can practice the queue and assassination skills in the slack time, and become the best reserve force in our base area, which is a kind of protection and contribution to the future safety of the cottage. ”

In this way, Lu Shisheng said hoarsely several times, and only then did he barely calm everyone's enthusiasm for sending his son to join the army and send Lang to join the army, and the base immediately set off a construction **.

In this way, the troops quickly sent away a group of soldiers, but quickly filled the gap and carried out rigorous training according to the prior plan.

The craftsmen recruited in the artisan camp also lined up in a long line every day, and most of them demanded that they do their duty for the base area and not take a pound of grain from the cottage.

Don't be surprised by this phenomenon, the Chinese people are like this, whoever is good to themselves, they can take out everything they have to support and support you, because they all have a conscience in their hearts, don't laugh at the selfishness they usually show, they are not selfish at all, but they don't feel your benefits.

What you ask for is not much, but the dedication is infinite, which is the foundation of 5,000 years of Chinese immortality.

On the morning of San'er, the family came to the village planned for them with the leader of the cottage and the newly appointed father who became the village head. The swarthy mountain seems to support the long sky, the mountain is full of thousands of years and hundreds of years of trees covering the entire mountain range, and there is constantly the howl of wild beasts during the flooding period, at the feet, the waist-high artemisia grass has been connected to the sky, and the head is the black and swarthy land, such a land just needs strength, as long as the strength is great, you can get a big harvest, with the father's kneeling himself also sincerely bowed to the emperor's thick soil.

The boundaries have been drawn, and there is a village of their own, that is, to throw off their arms and do it, as a farmer, I have the strength left, and the idea of wanting to be a soldier at the beginning has been thrown out of the clouds. Competing with nearly 100 strong laborers in the village to see who can be the first to settle down in their own home, they are thinking about letting the old lady and mother-in-law spend this cold winter.

In the morning, my dad was called by the cottage, I don't know why, but that's not what I care about, the cottage has already said, no taxes are not forced to work, so what else? San'er is dedicated to doing his own thing.

Pick up the head and shovel brought by his own family, and start digging a nest in front of the homestead assigned to him, the old lady is still wrapped in a bed of broken cotton wool under a ridge to endure the cold wind, he must dig out the nest in the fastest time for the old lady to live, and wait for the next spring to build a house when the farm is slack, what a good day it is?

The land is frozen, although he is also a strength, but a pickaxe down is just a white spot, San'er is not stupid, immediately thought of a way, he looked for a hug of thatch to ignite, smiled to see the fire burning, after a while kicked away those firewood, under the woodpile the frozen soil has melted, so began to use the head to dry happily, a nest soon appeared in the prototype.

Huan, who was doing it, Daddy came back with a calm face, and he wanted to show off in front of Daddy, but Daddy just frowned and snorted and didn't say anything more. While he was wondering, Dad stood on a big stone in a square and struck the ancestral broken gong.

"Old and young masters, let's put down the work in our hands first, and let's talk." So the villagers and neighbors who were working hard put down their work and gathered in front of their father.

Before he spoke, his father had red circles in his eyes; "Folks, it is fate that our more than 50 families get together, I thank you for believing in me, and recommended me to be the head of this village, that is, the Lizheng in the court, but I am very sad today, why? Because we forgot Ben. Everyone was in an uproar, and there was a round of applause.

Daddy Road; "My family originally had 10 acres of thin fields, a hard-working and honest boy, my craft, and a well-behaved and careful daughter-in-law, who could still survive in Fu County, but we became homeless, why is this? Folks, that's because the output of our ten acres of thin fields is not enough to pay the government's taxes, and our craftsmanship and the strength of the boy can't pay the apportionment of the officials, so our family has become a homeless and has no way to live, but what about now? Our family already has 50 acres of land, let us cultivate until we die, we also got a few zhang of cotton cloth, so that my wife is not hiding in the cotton wool, so that my daughter-in-law will not be ashamed to meet people, let us drink the first bowl of thick porridge in these years this morning, which one is given? Looking at the people below, there was no response.

The old man shouted hoarsely: "It's Lord Chuang Wang, it's those soldiers and brothers of the Black Tiger Army who are not afraid of death." The day before yesterday, my son was going to be a soldier, but yesterday we got the land, and my son changed his mind and was ready to guard the fifty acres of land at home and guard his mother-in-law, and live a stable life, but today I went to the cottage for a meeting, I knew I was wrong, I forgot how my fifty acres of land was obtained, it was the soldiers and brothers on the cottage who fought for life and death to earn for us, and it was exchanged for King Chuang who only slept for half an hour a day. ”

Speaking of this, Dad was already in tears, "We forgot the people who gave us the land, we forgot, if it weren't for the protection of the Black Tiger Army, we would lose these lands again, are we willing to lose them?" "Everyone shouted with their fists raised;" Can't forget, can't. ”

Daddy shouted; "My unfilial son, you get out of here."

San'er was shouting with everyone, but he didn't want to be shouted by his father, so he immediately ran to the front.

"You get down on my knees." Daddy's voice is fierce. San'er didn't know what he had done wrong, but Daddy told him to kneel, so let's kneel.

"You are my son, but you can't be ungrateful, if you want your father and mother and your mother-in-law and children to live, you should go to join the army, to defend our military division and our cottage, to join the army."

"Dad, I'm willing to do anything for the sake of my father and mother."

"Okay, now, now, go to the army, go to repay the favor."

At this time, San'er was already ashamed. kowtow to the father on the high platform; "The child is not filial, so go and fight to the death for your safety."

"Well, that's my good son. What other descendant wants to repay the kindness of the cottage and is willing to join the army? ”

In the crowd below is an arm.

San'er and most of the descendants in the village were disappointed, and the blood-boiling military camp rejected them, because King Chuang said that they were needed for production, and after begging hard, they returned to the village helplessly.

After returning to the village, the village formed a militia team, led by a retired soldier, who dug the ground and burned the wasteland in the morning, and began to walk in the afternoon. Under the crazy training of the very aggrieved retired soldier, everyone made rapid progress.

At this time, King Chuang said that each village started a competition to dig a nest. Digging the ground nest was for his family, and at the same time, for the sake of King Chuang's promise, to toast the first village to be completed, just for this honor, fight.

San'er and everyone began to dig day and night, and finally dug all the ground nests within the specified time and was definitely the first in the whole base area.

On this day, early in the morning, the tall tower-like commander and the calm and calm King Chuang came to the village, and rewarded each militia like San'er with ten catties of white flour and a pot of old wine, the king who always smiled faintly, poured a bowl of wine for each militiaman, San'er was very angry and almost overturned the wine bowl, and later, there were only tears in his eyes, only roaring in his ears, and he drank too much without hearing every word of King Chuang, and the next day when he met people, he asked what King Chuang said at that time? Everyone just laughed and no one told him, and in the end it was the mother-in-law who said it in the bed; "King Chuang said, you are a hero, you are a hero in production, you want everyone to learn from you, don't lose the face of me and my children."

San'er had insomnia. But San'er got up earlier than everyone else the next day, clutched the pistol he had just fired, and screamed and killed outside the village alone, as if he had inexhaustible strength in his chest.
