Chapter 38, Hate Education (2)
Huang Zide has always been very efficient in doing things. That night, he gathered some of the main generals together to discuss what Xuan Yi said about hate education. Everyone listened to it and said that although they hadn't heard of this thing, it shouldn't be too bad if they thought about it, so a group of people added a lot of content to each other, Huang Zide asked Xuan Yi to write down these with a pen, and then on this basis, sort out a set of things to try.
Xuan Yi wrote down what everyone mentioned, and the next day compiled a preliminary plan and handed it to Huang Zide to see. Huang Zide called Shang Xiuying and watched it carefully together. Shang Xiuying said to Huang Zide: "Master, I think it's pretty good." Let's first give this thing to the captains and vice-captains of each Mandarin Duck Formation to learn, and then let each Mandarin Duck Formation get started. If the effect is good, it will be extended to the whole army. What do you think? ”
Huang Zide said: "I don't think I can be in such a hurry. This matter has a bearing on the morale of the whole army. I think it's best to let my old brothers first, such as Lao Liu, Zhangqi, Erhu, and my personal guards, such as Hu Yidao, let them try to talk about it first, if the effect is good, it is not too late to promote. ”
Shang Xiuying smiled and said, "Then do what you say." ”
That night, Huang Zide summoned his generals together, and called Hu Yidao and several other personal guards over. Then he said, "Tonight, let's try according to the method that the Taoist chief said, and see how to organize this grievance meeting." Well, Dao Chief, I'll leave it to you. ”
Xuan Yi stood up, first saluted everyone in the circle, and then said: "Poor Dao is not talented, the master of the village and the brothers love each other, hand over this matter to Poor Dao, Poor Dao will do his best, if there is anything that is not done well, please don't laugh." ”
Everyone laughed and said, "The Taoist doesn't have to be modest, if the Taoist can't do it, who else can do it here?" ”
Xuan Yi said: "Speaking of which, in fact, our brothers here, everyone is from ordinary people, I don't know what everyone used to do, what did it take to cause the rebellion?" ”
Everyone looked at each other, and Huang Zide said: "Dao Chang asked, or, Lao Liu, you can talk about it first." ”
Liu Jiexuan stretched out his hand and scratched his head and said, "Owner of the village, who doesn't know about my thing?" Do you need to say it? Let's talk about it first! ”
Huang Zide glared at him and said, "The Taoist may not know, just that little, do you still have to hide it?" ”
Liu Jiexuan said: "Then I said, you are not allowed to laugh!" I used to be a blacksmith, and our family has been a blacksmith for generations, and if I want to say that I used to, I never thought that I would follow the owner of the village to pull the flag and rebel. I just want to be a blacksmith, marry a daughter-in-law when the time comes, have another baby, and let him be a blacksmith...... If I had been working as a blacksmith at the beginning, someone told me a fortune and said that I would be a 'bandit leader', wouldn't I ...... Actually, at that time, even if someone said this, I didn't dare to hit him, at most I scolded twice, at that time, I did my duty. It's just that in these years, people can't live......"
Liu Jiexuan roughly talked about his experience, which was nothing more than a disaster, and his life was difficult, so he borrowed the debt of the king of Hades. couldn't afford to pay it back, so Liu Jiexuan ran out to hide from the debt. As a result, he escaped the monk and couldn't run to the temple. When he returned, he found that his father had been beaten to death by a debt collector. So that night, Liu Jiexuan went into the enemy's house, killed the enemy's family, and then fled to the frontier and became a small soldier, and then, because of arrears and no food, the army mutinied, and the top had to suppress it, so Liu Jiexuan rebelled with others. In general, although there are some tragic places in Liu Jiexuan's life experience, Liu Jiexuan is not detailed, on the contrary, killing the whole family and cutting people to rebel is very energetic. As a result, after the lecture, everyone did not feel sad at all, but only felt very enjoyable.
"Lao Liu, you're not right." Shang Xiuying shook her head and said, "The Taoist means to speak out and make everyone hate the court, you can say this, everyone should listen to the Water Margin." ”
Liu Jiexuan touched his head and said, "Sister-in-law, I said it earlier, I can't talk about this matter well." Well, or, or Hu Yidao, Hu Yidao, you have walked through the rivers and lakes before, and your mouth is neat, you can talk about it. ”
Hu Yidao listened, but didn't speak, just raised his eyes to look at Huang Zide.
Huang Zide said: "A knife, Lao Liu told you to talk about it, you can talk about it." ”
Hu Yidao stood up, hugged his fists at everyone and said: "The owner of the village, madam, General Liu, Dao Chief, generals, the villain will speak."
"The villain's family was originally a military household. There are parents at home and an older brother. That was seven or eight years ago. Once, an order suddenly came from above, saying that the main troops would be brought to Liaodong. My brother went with the general, and he never returned. I heard that he died in Liaodong. After my brother died, my sister-in-law couldn't live anymore, so she remarried and left, leaving a nephew to live with me and my parents. My family doesn't have any land, so I can only rent other people's fields to plant, and life is getting more and more difficult. ”
"Brother Yidao, according to the rules of Taizu's time, don't military households have military fields?" Xuan Yi interjected and asked.
The people around looked at Xuan Yi with surprised eyes, only Huang Zide's eyes flashed, as if he had thought of something.
"Dao Chief, what kind of life are you talking about?" Hu Yidao replied, "I heard my father say that my grandfather's grandfather may still have some land at that time, but later, that land has long become the land of the general." Other military households heard that this was the case, and their land was swallowed up by others a few lifetimes earlier. Where can a military household still have land? ”
"Who swallowed them? Doesn't the imperial court care? Xuan Yi asked again.
Hu Yidao also knew more or less at this time that Xuan Yi was knowingly asking, so he replied: "It's all swallowed by the nobles of the imperial court, and these people can swallow the land sent to us by Grandpa Taizu, aren't they just relying on the support of the imperial court?" How can the imperial court care? The land is gone, but all kinds of things that come with the land are left on our heads. All kinds of military rations, conscription, and taxes of all kinds must not be less at all, and even more and more. It's not that we don't work, renting other people's land, the weather is so dry, we get up early and go to the river to water the land by ourselves, from the river to the field, one goes three or four miles, and we can't pick a few round-trips a day. Not much field watered. Sometimes, when the sun goes down, I have to pick up a load or two of water. As a result, I was seen by someone, and I thought I was a drought fish who came out to fetch water. (Folklore has it at the time that zombies would go to the river at night to fetch water after turning into droughts.) It picks up the water, and there will be a drought) so desperately dry, and the result? To be honest, the harvest was actually pretty good. However, first we have to pay the landlord's rent, and then we have to pay the military rations, where can we pay it? If he couldn't hand it over, he was arrested and beaten in the county. However, if there is no, there is no, so where can it be beaten? My father told me to run outside to hide, and then he was arrested. Poor my father is already old, and his health is not good. I was caught in the county and beaten up, and I went not long after I came back. I don't have the ability of General Liu, and I can't take revenge......"
Speaking of this, Hu Yidao smiled miserably and said: "Plus my mother is still there, and my nephew is still there." I am a military household, and everyone knows that it is not easy for a military household to marry a daughter-in-law. My brother is gone, I thought at that time, I will probably not be able to marry a daughter-in-law in this life, no matter what, I have to raise my nephew, and I can't let our family cut off the incense. So, I really didn't dare to take revenge at that time.
If you can't pay this military ration, you won't be able to live. So I discussed with my mother and ran away. I took my mother and my nephew and fled, anyway, there are many military families fleeing now, and the court can't catch them. I know how to use knives, so I sell art everywhere for a living. The days of performing arts are not easy, whether it is a dry wharf, there are land snakes. These people are all related to the government, and most of the money they have worked hard to sell will fall into their hands, and the rest is not enough to plug their teeth. My mother...... My mother felt that she was dragging us down, and she felt that if she was gone, my nephew and I would be able to eat one more bite of food. As a result, one morning ......"
Speaking of this, Hu Yidao couldn't hold back anymore and cried loudly.
After crying for a long time, Hu Yidao stopped crying and continued: "From now on, it will only be me and my nephew. I took him to the north and south, but I didn't expect that four years ago, in Cangzhou, he suddenly fell ill. I was useless, and the money I earned was not enough to treat him, and as a result, within two months, my nephew was gone. Since then, I've been wandering around, and sometimes I wonder if one day it's my turn. It's good to be dead. Later, when I arrived in Ruzhou, I met a local snake named Tang Pei. That day, he not only asked me to provide him with more than half of the money, but also said that when I arrived in Ruzhou, before I went to Ruzhou, I didn't give him a gift first, I didn't take him seriously, and asked me to give him all the money on my body, as well as the guys who used it for art. Isn't that going to starve me? I had just died not long after my nephew. I thought, why are there so many bad people in this world? Why is it so difficult for a person who just wants to live well? At that time, I thought to myself: 'If you don't let Lao Tzu live, Lao Tzu will fight with you, so that you can't live!'" I then said, 'Wait, the villain goes and takes the money from the baggage.' Those dog-day things really thought I was going to take the money, and a dog-legged man came up and said, 'What kind of baggage?' Wouldn't it be enough to give us the burden? As he spoke, he reached out for my baggage. I reached into my baggage, grabbed the hilt, pulled out the knife, and plunged it into his chest. The other doglegs haven't reacted yet. I kicked over the one who had been stabbed, and with a single stab, knocked down another. The rest of the doglegs reacted at this time, some wanted to run, and some wanted to come up after copying the guys. As a result, I slashed another one and ran away. I saw that the streets were in chaos, and I couldn't care too much, so I put away my knife and ran out of the city. Later, I followed the owner of the village. I feel that there are too many bad people in this world, and if we don't kill them all, we won't have a good life wherever we go. ”
