Chapter 136: Rectify the Linzhou Soldiers
A scorching iron slammed on his shoulder, and the moisture in the flesh evaporated, forming a white mist with the scent of burnt hu. Yang Ye's temples and neck, the green tendons were tensed, and delicate beads of sweat covered his nose and forehead.
His facial features were twisted by the pain, but his right arm remained motionless until a clear mark was imprinted on his shoulder, and he slowly lowered the soldering iron, his eyes slightly closed, as if reminiscing about the pain.
Ye Hua was very staggered, and he didn't hesitate to make a mark on himself, he couldn't do this kind of thing.
After a while, Yang Ye slowly opened his eyes, he saw Ye Hua's embarrassed expression, and laughed at himself: "Yang is a reckless man, which makes Hou Ye laugh." ”
"No, General Yang is a warrior, a real warrior, I still say the same thing, within ten years, I will break the Northern Han!" Ye Hua said firmly!
Yang Ye agreed, the champion Hou would not lie, but the Northern Han would not perish by itself.
If you don't have a broom, the dust won't go away.
"If you want to destroy the Northern Han Dynasty, you have to rely on real knives and guns to fight in the field!" Yang Ye clenched his fists, "The soldiers of the Yang family must be rectified and trained hard, otherwise they will be abolished!" ”
Yang Ye looked particularly serious and dignified, "I want to ask Master Hou for help, some old people in the family are very troublesome." ”
"You want me to press the formation to prevent anyone from making trouble?"
Yang Ye nodded, and Ye Huaneng felt a strong uneasiness from his anxious expression.
The things that can make Yang Wushu panic and helpless seem to be not simple!
Ye Hua happily agreed, and he followed Yang Ye to the Yang family's station. This is also a very flat and fertile land, which does not lose Ye Hua at all.
Guo Wei regarded the Yang family as a typical example of loyalty, and naturally no official dared to embarrass them. The people who moved from Linzhou were granted land to every household.
During the spring ploughing, he also bought a lot of farm tools from Ye Hua's workshop and reclaimed the surrounding wasteland.
When Ye Hua came, Tian Lianqian Mo, the ditch was vertical and horizontal. Crops more than a foot long and green leaves are emerging from the fields, which is very pleasant.
Ye's method of incubating eggs has spread, from the initial one village, to several villages, and then to the surroundings of Kaifeng, the industrious women hatched a lot of chickens, ducks and geese, the result is that in the field, from time to time there are fluffy things dragging and running, by the ditch, the ducklings are happily looking for small fish, shrimp and aquatic plants, and after a while, the stomach pouch is full, and the neck is thick.
Ducks grown up in the field, the meat is delicate and fat, the taste is mellow and authentic, in the autumn, the male duck can be sold at a good price, as for the female duck, it is even more amazing, an egg a day, an egg for a penny, raise dozens of ducks, catch up with the egg production season, a month down, you can make consistent money!
A heavy string!
Women are the most budget-conscious, and they are reluctant to waste a little, and every penny must be saved. In the autumn, the sheds that leaked on all sides were converted into adobe houses, so that they would not be exposed to the cold in winter.
With a little more money and some bricks, tiles and wood, you can build a sturdy house, and the family will have a place to settle down and take root.
By the way, Champion Hou's workshop is recruiting, and many men have gone to work.
I heard that there are also female workers, who work as cleaners and cooks, as well as weaving cloth and making armor, and it is said that they do a good job and earn no less than men.
The women around Kaifeng were tender and unwilling to work with a bunch of vulgar craftsmen.
The woman from Linzhou doesn't care!
They traveled for more than a month before they came to Kaifeng, and they didn't suffer anything, and they would care about the great defense of men and women. Some men even take the initiative to encourage their wives to come out and work.
If you enter the workshop, you can at least save some food and earn an extra salary, why not.
Spring ploughing is over, and the relative slack period has begun.
But not many people are idle.
Either go to work or raise chickens and ducks at home, everyone is busy for life.
Everyone works diligently, and life is prosperous. If any of the great Confucians come, they will definitely sigh, the rule of three generations, but so!
But in Yang Ye's eyes, these are far from being so beautiful!
When I was in Linzhou, every time I went to the farm, the men of every household had to come out, play guns and dance sticks, and practice their skills. But since arriving in Kaifeng, there have been fewer and fewer people training.
Yang Ye initially thought that as long as everyone settled down and had free time, it would be fine.
So he asked Ye Hua for help, bought enough farm tools, and cultivated the land, but who knew that once he put down the gun and knife and picked up the hoe and sickle, it would not be easy to pick it up.
Even if they put down their hoes, they would rather pick up the hammer and clank and feed their families than go to the field to fight!
It may take a few years to train a body of tendon meat, but if you want to destroy it, it only takes a few months to eat and drink.
When the Yang family was in Linzhou, they faced Dangxiang, Shatuo, and many Hu people, bandits, robbers, and bandits...... Almost every day is in the midst of a battle, and everyone must be nervous and on guard at all times.
In the toughest environments, strong warriors can be sharpened.
And comfort and comfort are the worst enemies of warriors!
Even Ye Hua had to admit that the court's kind and preferential treatment was destroying a brave and warlike soldier.
"General Yang, we must rectify and restore the combat effectiveness of the Linzhou soldiers!" Ye Hua shouted, "There is no force to protect yourself, you only know how to create wealth, and these riches will only fall into the hands of robbers." Our Han family sons and daughters can't be fish and meat that can be slaughtered by others, absolutely not! ”
Yang Ye's body was shocked, and he thought it was true.
They began the operation to save the Linzhou soldiers,
It took three days for them to gather all the young people together.
In front of everyone, there were several stoves, all of which were filled with red-hot soldering irons, Yang Ye stood in front of everyone, and he suddenly tore off his sleeves, revealing the brand on his shoulder!
Linzhou Yang family!
"Do you remember? Last year, it was Liu Chong, the dog thief, who colluded with the Khitan and attacked Linzhou with an army of 100,000. We had to leave our hometown and return to Da Zhou, Jingzhao Mansion, Luoyang Mansion, Kaifeng Mansion, and there were our fathers and fellow villagers everywhere. ”
Yang Ye's voice was like a bell, and he suddenly took out a bag of soil and held it high.
"This is the soil of Linzhou, and when we left, everyone brought a bag with them! This is our roots! A root that can never be forgotten! ”
Facing the emotional Yang Ye, many people unconsciously lowered their heads and had a fever on their faces.
"The emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty treats us well, gives us land, gives us a small endowment, has work to do, and makes money...... Life is getting better and better, and life is getting more and more hopeful, but let's not forget! The big guy is from Linzhou, he wants to kill back, and he wants to kill all the Hulu! Do you still look like a martial artist now? ”
Yang Ye's voice swirled in his ears, and many young people breathed heavily and blushed, they were also men, and they didn't want to be underestimated by anyone!
We didn't forget, we picked up our swords, got on our horses, and were able to fight!
They dare to swear to God!
Ye Hua smiled, since he sang a duet with Yang Ye, it was his turn to appear.
"See, General Yang has already branded a mark on his arm, if anyone thinks he is a Linzhou soldier and wants to kill back to his hometown, please step forward and brand the same mark."
Yes!
As soon as these words came out, many people were dumbfounded, and took a soldering iron to greet their bodies, how painful it should be!
They peeked at Yang Ye and found that he was like a piece of iron, and there was no room for accommodation.
After a long silence, a young man finally stood up, he walked a few steps to the front of the stove, exposed his shoulders, gritted his teeth, closed his eyes, and looked generous and righteous, "Come on, I'll be the first!" ”
He waited for a while, but felt no pain, and couldn't help but open his eyes and look blankly.
At this time, Ye Hua grabbed a soldering iron and sent it to him.
"No one will help you, please come by yourself!"
Come on your own?
The young man was dumbfounded, his hands trembled unconsciously, and he didn't dare to pick up the soldering iron.
"Do you know why it's at night?" Ye Hua said with a smile: "It's just to give you a convenient door, if you don't want to be branded, please leave quietly, go back and throw away the soil in your hometown, or hide it, it doesn't matter." In the future, you will be ordinary people of the Great Zhou, and no one will look down on you. It's time to farm, it's time to work, it's business as usual. If you accept the brand, from now on, you will have to undergo the most rigorous training, and you may die in battle or die in a foreign land in order to prepare for the battlefield at all times...... All in all, it's up to you to choose what to do! ”
After speaking, as soon as Ye Hua let go, the soldering iron returned to the furnace, he turned around and walked back, about a dozen steps out, and suddenly he heard a low and painful roar......
