Volume 1 Liaodong Shock
Chapter 2 The Jackal Tyranny, Burning the Beacon Smoke
Section 4: The Will to Die for the Nation
In the forty-fourth year of Wanli, Liaodong seems to be calm but there is an undercurrent surging. Land in various localities has been continuously annexed, taxes have been increasingly increased, various natural and man-made disasters have continued, chaotic soldiers and bandits have run rampant in various places, coupled with the rampant murder and slaughter of villages by Jiannu, and the people of Liaodong have been ruined and have become homeless. In order to survive, displaced people often spontaneously gather together according to their regions to form a wave of displaced people. Liaoyang, as a big city in eastern Liaoning, is surrounded by several groups of displaced people.
Li Tianhao and Zhao Kaishan sent out to search everywhere at night, and it only took two days to find four groups of displaced people with a relatively large number of people, so Li Tianhao selected a group of displaced people with the largest number of people, and led the troops to recruit soldiers with Zhao Kaishan.
On this day, Li Tianhao and Zhao Kaishan came to the col where the displaced people lived, and commanded their soldiers to gather the displaced people together to facilitate recruitment.
The col was full of nests built by the homeless people, and it looked disorganized, and it was full of filth such as feces and garbage, and a disgusting stench could be smelled from a mile away.
At this time, the homeless people in the col were cooking on the fire, when they suddenly saw a group of officers and soldiers arrive and spread out to enclose the side of the exit. Seeing this, the displaced people were all panicked and taken aback, mistakenly thinking that these fierce officers and soldiers were trying to embarrass themselves, and immediately they started to make a fuss, and the young men in the crowd rushed to the front, constantly pushing and shoving each other, and even the old men and strong women kept coming forward and shouting and scolding to strengthen their momentum.
Li Tianhao was taken aback when he saw this situation, and said: "These homeless people have such a strong temperament, and they are not afraid of officers and soldiers at all!" ”
"Surround them! Surround them! Let them crouch on the spot! Zhao Kaishan was afraid that if this continued, it would cause a civil uprising, so he shouted loudly and ordered the soldiers to control the displaced people.
Li Tianhao also shouted to his soldiers, shouting: "Don't hurt anyone!" Don't draw your sword and show your weapon! Whoever kills first-class civilians will pay for their lives! Just put them where they are! ”
There are more than 1,000 people in this tribe, how can it be so easy to control. It took a lot of effort for Li Tianhao and Zhao Kaishan to bring their soldiers together, but the homeless people were still shouting and scolding loudly, and the scene was still very chaotic.
"Did these homeless people take the wrong medicine? Why do you have such a big enmity with us? Zhao Kaishan sat on the horse and gasped.
Li Tianhao also wiped a handful of sweat, gasped and said, "It's also our fault that we didn't inform these homeless people in advance." What do you think, a group of officers and soldiers surrounded them violently, and no one would think about it too much, these homeless people probably thought that we were going to be unfavorable to them. ”
"Then why don't they run away and still fight against us?"
Li Tianhao said proudly: "This is the reason why I want to recruit them to be soldiers." ”
Zhao Kaishan asked puzzledly: "What reason?" ”
Li Tianhao said: "These people are already homeless, and there is nothing left to lose except a life, so most of them are not afraid of death, and what else can they be afraid of if they are not even afraid of death?" Just in time to be a soldier. ”
"Really!"
After speaking, Li Tianhao stood on a higher slope and shouted to the homeless people: "Villagers, be quiet, listen to me!" We are Liaoyang officials and soldiers, and we are not here today to embarrass you, but to help you, so please be quiet. ”
More than a dozen soldiers next to him kept repeating Li Tianhao's words in unison, and after about a stick of incense, the homeless people gradually quieted down, but there were still some young people shouting loudly:
"What can you soldiers do for us?"
"Why are you surrounding us?"
"You will only bully the common people!"
"Our family was killed by the Tartars, and our home is gone, where were you then? How can you help us? ”
Li Tianhao listened silently, waited until the sound of the crowd gradually became smaller, and said loudly: "What we can do is to help you live, only after you live, can we help you take revenge!" ”
The homeless people were buzzing again, and people kept talking, "How can you help us?" ”
"In the army! I am here today to recruit troops on behalf of the Liaoyang General Military Mansion, and to recruit heroes among you who are willing to join the army. Li Tianhao continued: "If you are a soldier, you can be paid, and if you have money and food, you can live; As long as you can live, you can take revenge if you go into battle to kill Hu in the future! ”
Peaceful, very quiet.
Li Tianhao looked at the black and oppressive homeless people in front of him, and couldn't help but beat the drum in his heart: "What if they don't want to?" ”
After only a while, Li Tianhao's worries disappeared.
"I'm in the army!"
"And me."
"Lao Tzu wants to eat military salary."
"I want revenge!"
The crowd shouted loudly and surged forward, Zhao Kaishan hurriedly commanded the soldiers to stop the homeless, "Don't fucking crowd, line up, come one by one." ”
When the two saw that the homeless people did not resist joining the army, they were overjoyed, and while directing the soldiers to maintain order and prevent the homeless people from stepping on each other and causing accidents; On the one hand, the young people who were willing to join the army were gathered, screened and registered one by one, and the remaining displaced people were placed in the same place, and people were sent to Liaoyang City to contact the people from the state capital to come to help.
Under the orderly arrangement of the officers and men, the recruitment of troops in the following process went very smoothly.
With the first successful experience, in just a few days, Li Tianhao and Zhao Kaishan ran around Liaoyang City, selecting suitable young people from several groups of displaced people to recruit into the army, and a total of 1,535 people were recruited into the army.
Seeing that the number of recruits was almost the same, Li Tianhao and Zhao Kaishan handed over the newly recruited refugees to Lu Ying, and the two went to the General Military Mansion to report to Liu Yunwei.
Hearing that Li Tianhao and Zhao Kaishan had recruited more than 1,500 people in just a few days, Liu Yunwei was very happy. When he heard that these homeless people dared to clash with the official army, Liu Yunwei was even more overjoyed and said: "What I want is the blood and courage of these people!" ”
Liu Yunwei said goodbye to his grandfather Liu Ling and father Liu Zhao on the same day, and then said goodbye to his wife and returned to the barracks with Li Tianhao and Zhao Kaishan.
When he arrived at the barracks, Liu Yunwei first gathered the original 1,100 soldiers for a review.
In the school field, the soldiers lined up in a phalanx according to different types of troops. I saw that the spears were like forests, the swords were Huohuo, the soldiers were brightly armoured, the horses were fierce, and the scorching sun did not seem to affect the Ming soldiers in the school field, and everyone was energetic and high-spirited.
Seeing that his subordinates were so solemn and so elite, Liu Yunwei couldn't help but feel excited: "This army has already begun to form, as long as it goes through a battle and sees blood, it will be a tiger and wolf army, and I also have the capital to fight with Jiannu." ”
Li Tianhao looked at the soldiers on the sidelines, and was also excited: "It seems that the road to joining the army is the right one!" That's how a good boy should be! ”
Lu Ying, Wu Xing, and Wen Poyu agreed to be very excited, their hard work during this time was not in vain, this was an elite division trained by themselves.
"Big brother, do you want to see the recruits that Tianhao and I recruited?" Zhao Kaishan asked.
"Okay, bring the recruits here."
After a while, Zhao Kaishan brought the recruited recruits into the school. Compared with the veterans on the side, the recruits seemed to be in a disorganized and scattered formation, constantly looking around, and the crowd was noisy.
Liu Yunwei carefully observed the recruits: "These people are all young and strong, and most of them have blood feuds with Jiannu, and the overall quality is quite good. However, military discipline needs to be strengthened, and if you train well, they are all elite soldiers. ”
So, Liu Yunwei said to Lu Ying, Wu Xing, and Wen Poyu: "These recruits should step up their training. ”
"Yes!" The three of them commanded.
Liu Yunwei also said: "Starting tomorrow, the whole army will be reorganized, and after the training of the recruits is almost complete, the recruits will be scattered and mixed with the veterans, and we will discuss the specific matters tonight." ”
"Yes!" The people answered.
"Big brother, today we have thousands of headquarters personnel, let's talk a few words to the soldiers and give everyone a boost." Li Tianhao said.
Liu Yunwei nodded, took a few steps forward and stared at the soldiers in the audience, and said after a while: "Soldiers, brothers, I am Liu Yunwei, some of you know me, some of you don't know me, but from today on, I am your commander, and you are my comrades." ”
"How can you say that you have no clothes! Fellow with the Son! ”
More than 1,000 soldiers roared and roared, and the newly recruited young men were all excited and shouted loudly.
Liu Yunwei is a hero who dares to kill Jiannu and can kill Jiannu in the hearts of the people of Liaoyang City. What enemy can't be defeated? This is a great encouragement to the morale of the whole army.
"Good! Well said! Liu Yunwei looked at his comrades and said loudly: "How can you say that you have no clothes, and you are in the same robe with your son." Wang Yuxingshi, repair my spear! ”
"In today's Liaodong, there are slaves outside to kill my people, invade my homeland, and wantonly trample on the territory of the Ming Dynasty; There are bandits and corrupt officials who plague the country, and the people of Liaodong are miserable. I, Liu Yunwei, am not talented, and I make a wish here today: I am willing to fight on the battlefield with all the soldiers, vow to sweep away the internal and external troubles of these Ming Dynasty, and return the people of Liaodong to a peaceful place! Will all the soldiers follow me? ”
"Follow the general to the death!"
"Follow the general to the death!"
"Follow the general to the death!"
Liu Yunwei said: "Jiannu is strong, there are many bandits, and there is a long way to go to fulfill this wish. Only by working hard and preparing for the army can I and all the soldiers fight against Hulu, calm the internal troubles, return peace to the people of Liaodong, and be worthy of our glory as Ming generals! In order to maintain our dignity as the descendants of Yan and Huang! ”
"Swear to the death and repay the country with death!"
"Swear to the death and repay the country with death!"
"Swear to the death and repay the country with death!"
The blood of more than 1,000 soldiers and more than 1,000 recruits in the school field was ignited, and the crowd was like ocean waves, waving the weapons in their hands and shouting loudly, responding to Liu Yunwei.
Lu Ying, Wu Xing, Wen Poyu, Zhao Kaishan, and Li Tianhao were also enthusiastic, standing beside Liu Yunwei and shouting loudly.
"The general is mighty! Daming Wansheng! ”
"The general is mighty! Daming Wansheng! ”
"The general is mighty! Daming Wansheng! ”
Liu Yunwei silently thought in his heart: "From today on, the construction of slaves will not stop every day, and I Liu Yunwei will not stop all day long!" ”
