Chapter 204: Hatred is not everything
As Xiao Xuan expected, such a result could not completely relieve all the officers and soldiers of the first company of the volunteer battalion, who often had a deep blood feud, and Xiao Xuan also took the opportunity to discuss these matters in the "heart-to-heart meeting" within the company. Encourage people to speak their minds.
Although most of the officers and men of the first company of the volunteer battalion were silent and did not like to be public, they were not afraid to speak, and many of them were very straight-minded people. Through the contact over the past few days, I also learned about Xiao Xuan's personality, so a seventeen or eighteen-year-old soldier who was about the same age as Chongzhen at this time said bluntly: "It is natural and righteous to kill people to pay for their lives, but the sins committed by those people are not at all that can be revealed by cutting off their heads." How many comrades-in-arms in the company died because of the oppression of those people... ”
"So, you volunteered to participate in the volunteer camp and passed the test of many life-threatening things, just for personal grievances and even revenge for your parents? And what about after revenge? Is it to be like those chivalrous jokes told by many storytellers, and from now on find a sweetheart to retreat to the rivers and lakes. Then, as long as you live the life of a rich peasant or even a small rich man like those powerful relatives, it is fine, and even establish a meritorious career to glorify your ancestors. What kind of people in other towns, counties, and provinces who are suffering and suffering all over the world, and who are also waiting for our liberation, let them continue to suffer and suffer, and their accents are different, what does it have to do with us, right? Xiao Xuan said with a smile.
Although these words were not the real thoughts of many officers and soldiers of the First Company, they also unwittingly sounded the alarm in the hearts of many people.
Xiao Xuan continued: "If after taking revenge, the Holy Lord will make you a duke and earl because of your exploits in the war, and become the emperor of the soil in a township, a county or even a prefecture. What you have experienced in the past is completely gone? Then you can become like those people again, and get back all the lost face in the past. How did those people act in the past, and then you painted the scoop according to the gourd? ”
"Instructor ... No... Somehow, after hearing such words, many people were inexplicably ashamed, although on the surface no one felt that they thought that way in their hearts. However, not many people are 100% sure that this will never be true.
Xiao Xuan was silent for a moment and then said with some solemnity: "If you plan to do this, I will not object at all, and I recommend that people with such ambitions go to the Teaching Brigade or the Guards Battalion Yongwei Battalion, and directly start with the officers above the battalion level who have less risk on the battlefield." After the world is re-glorified, the expectation of the saint is not only the territory of the thirteen provinces of the Central Plains, but also the tens of millions of people in the whole world in the real sense, and it is not too much of a problem to seal a few more soil emperors on hundreds of thousands of acres of land. If some of you who are not too old are not old birthday stars above the age of mackerel, it is estimated that the world is for the public and the world will not come in your lifetime, how about it, do you want to go? If you want to sign up, stay in the volunteer camp, and tell you the truth: it's really not a good place to go, and some of you are likely to die on the battlefield because you want to be an example, and the remaining one or two percent may not be able to have the prospect of being the emperor of the soil... ”
"Instructor ... We know it's wrong ... Several young warriors who seemed to have a bitter hatred before also said.
"You may not fully know, you may not fully know how arduous the eight words of world harmony and the world are for the common good, how many repetitions and difficulties will be encountered, and how long it will take. I can say bluntly: Those of you who are the age of uncles, even if they live to their old age, there is a chance that they will not see the arrival of an ideal society, which is an optimistic estimate. It is not surprising that any of you who are thirteen years old and become centenarians will not see the world and the world as a common man. The realization of the Datong world depends on science, pragmatism, and even the use and compromise of many times, and even seeking truth from facts. and not just by the impulse of stake ... ”
Because he had been prepared for a long time, although he had said a lot, Xiao Xuan began to get better. The communication with the comrades-in-arms of the first company of the volunteer battalion has long lost the initial sense of ignorance. It seems that he is not the so-called Chongzhen Emperor at all, but an instructor sent by the main force in the modern revolutionary army in later generations.
In order to keep the atmosphere of the whole company from being too oppressive in daily training and political education, and to alleviate some of the tense victorious reactions that even the bravest soldiers inevitably encounter when they are about to fight. Xiao Xuan no longer hid his personal secrets, and the more positive military songs of the revolutionary era began to spread from the first company of the volunteer battalion at this time. The training of the contingent has also entered the stage of actual combat and tactical drills and joint training from the basic operation of weapons at the beginning.
There is not much Soviet-style charm in it, but the catchy and positive atmosphere of "Battle March" is the youth in the war of the old film.
“。。。 I polished my flintlock pistol, I loaded my bullets, I carried the ammunition on my back, and I bravely went forward; I put on my hand a grenade, to destroy the gang of wicked people, my bayonet was drawn out of the sheath, the blade was shining, the words of the holy lord, to keep in mind, I did not forget the blood and tears, the anger was full of my chest, I fought bravely and took the lead, aimed at the gang of wicked people, I rushed forward step by step, told him to taste the bayonet, don't look at his number, justice is on our side, I knocked down a prisoner, I knocked down a prisoner, captured a few Western cannons... ”
When the fiery training and study, and even the loud singing voice, came in the autumn of the second year of Chongzhen, the first company of the volunteer battalion, which was full of opportunity and depression at the beginning, seemed to be completely different. Hatred seems to be only the first step in sublimation, but it is not the whole burning power of the revolutionary army.
Of course, perhaps because Xiao Xuan has been a squadron-level commander of an elite infantry company of a militia for too long, not only Tian Xiuying, Wang Chengen and other old people in Xindi, but also Sun Yingyuan, Zhou Yuji and others feel uneasy. Even in the former guard camp, many people seemed to feel a hint of crisis. I wonder if this new company will steal some people's jobs. Of course, more people feel the crisis, and they don't know how much of a role such a team of only one hundred and forty people can play in the face of the imminent crisis.
