Chapter 124: The Grievance Meeting of the Recruit Battalion

[Seeking ...... All kinds of requests! 】

Of course, Chen Ming would not know about this scene in Beijing, he would not see the angry but timid bears of the Eight Banners who could only shout, and he didn't know if Qianlong Lao'er would appoint the ministers to go south to supervise the war.

He is now devoting his whole body and mind to conditioning the troops, consolidating the foundation of the Chen family.

With the spread of the results of the Battle of Yuncheng in western Henan, eastern Henan and even northern Hubei, it may also be because the Chen family officially raised the banner of 'opposing the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Han Dynasty', and the recruitment offices set up by the Chen family army in various places have more and more people coming to sign up, and some of them are from eastern Henan and northern Hubei. Although their number is not large, and when they leave the recruit camp and enter the army, they will drop into the pond, but Chen Ming, who is closely following the recruitment of recruits, is still very happy.

"The one who degrades the trouser leg is left, and the one who does not degrade the trouser leg is the right."

"First left, then right!"

"Left and right, left and right, left and right, left, left, ......"

The recruits' barracks are all set up in the barren mountains and mountains, and in addition to the quarters of the instructors and guard troops, as well as the corresponding supporting facilities such as canteens, water rooms, arsenals, and warehouses, the dormitories of the recruits must be built little by little. A wave of veterans went out, and the repertoire was to burn the dormitory they built with their own hands clean, and the recruits would continue to build when they came.

In the summer, the dormitories in the boot camp cannot be compared to those in the winter. It is completely a big shack, with a squad in each shed, and the recruits spontaneously elect the principal and deputy squad leaders of their squads. Well, yes, Chen Ming copied the Beiyang New Army in history. In addition to changing the shed and shed to a squad and squad leader.

Three shifts in a row, three in a row. The platoon commander and the squad officer are all instructors in the new barracks.

The weeds around the shack are removed and sprinkled with lime to ensure that no grass grows. There are also some snake repellents, and even some realgar powder. The latter, like sulfur, had long been embargoed by the Qing court. Chen Jiajun does not have many hands, and the new barracks rely more on Chinese herbal medicine to drive snakes, and the people in the mountains have their own tricks and formulas, and the difference is only in size.

The bed in the shack is also very simple, that is, a base is made of stones, and a layer of wooden rafts is laid on top, and the straw is sandwiched in the wooden rafts, and a layer of bamboo planks is placed on top, which is the bed.

Chen Jiajun has no place to enjoy it, even if it is a recruit camp that is generally not dangerous, it is not a place for people to enjoy. The conditions for the recruits who entered here were worse than those of the regular army of the Chen Family Army, and these soldiers who were about to become the Chen Family Army had to be tempered and tested from the very beginning.

Outside the playground, Chen Ming looked at the three recruits who were training, and asked the commander of the recruit battalion, "Is the grievance meeting already underway?" Is there any effect? ”

It stands to reason that the commander of the new barracks is also Chen Ming's elder, and he is in his forties, but now he sees that Chen Ming is a big governor: "It has an effect, it has a big effect." "Hearing Chen Ming mention the 'grievance conference', this person's spirit was greatly lifted.

Chen Ming has not yet promoted the 'grievance rally' throughout the army, and the current recruit camp is only a pilot. "If the Metropolitan Governor does not say it, he will also mention his humble position to the Metropolitan Governor. The effect of this grievance conference is not ordinarily good. The recruits of our army are either from mountain people, or from tenants, or beggars, or even some bandits, so to speak, all of them are from poor families.

This grievance meeting is all about the poor people's own affairs, so that they can empathize with it, and the reaction is extremely strong. Although the high-level of Chen Jiajun are all wealthy families such as the Chen family, the Huang family, and the Gao family, the rich and noble are incomparable with those real wealthy families, but in the eyes of half of the mountain tenants, life is also a heavenly life, and the eyes are out of reach.

Chen Ming will not copy the practice of the red army in history, the latter is for the poor to fight the world, and this grievance will be born with them; Chen Jiajun wants to take the sergeant to become a master. One is to completely overthrow that class, and the other is to hit the more than n people on that class and replace them themselves.

"You are all hard-working people, some were harmed by the squire, some were killed by profiteers, and some were killed by landlords. There are also people like our Chen family, who were harmed by the dog officials, everyone has their own reasons, each has their own pain, and they are all forced to go to Liangshan. But let me tell you, you, including us, have only one reason for suffering in the final analysis......" Chen Ming very cleverly classified the Chen family and the recruits together, they were all oppressed and bullied, his eyes slowly scanned the audience, three recruit teams, three hundred recruits, a garrison platoon, a class of instructors, at this moment everyone focused their eyes on him.

"Because we don't have the power, no matter what the status of our big guy was before, we don't have the power when it comes to the man who is driving us to a dead end. So they can bully us at will, deprive us of our toil, deprive us of our wealth, and deprive us of our lives. ”

Everyone in the audience was silent.

"Now we have raised the anti-flag, to the point of fighting with the government endlessly, and we have to cut off this pig's tail braid at the back of our head, many people think that we are rebellious, and sooner or later we will die without a place to be buried. But why don't they talk about the people and things that have cornered us? If they hadn't forced us to have no way to live, who would have rebelled?

If there weren't so many injustices in the world, if we could live comfortably, even if we knelt at the feet of the Manchu Tartars for a lifetime, even if we wore this pig's tail on the back of our heads for a lifetime, how many of us would have thought about rebellion? ”

There was still silence on the playground. But one of them couldn't help but clench their hands and bite their lips.

Yes, if you are cornered, if you can't survive, who wants to risk disapproval to join the Chen family?

The mountain people don't want to be busy all year round, they still lack food and clothing in the winter, and some people starve to death every year, they long to have a piece of land of their own, so that the whole family can live; The peasants do not expect to be rich and rich, but they are willing to exchange their rotten lives for a few taels of silver, and the military field is like a piece of fat hanging in front of them, causing them to salivate; The bandits and ruffians have more hopes, but they are pitiful to say, and how much money can they make when their reputations are rotten? At most, he took care of his own mouth. I also have to be a dog for those rich and powerful eunuchs from time to time. They defected to Chen Jiajun, either to find a place to settle down, or to make a fortune, and then slip away, but now Chen Jiajun wants to cut his braids and grow long hair, and there is an extra rope to link them with Chen Jiajun's boat.

The mountain people and the destitute peasants from the tenant family were the main force of the Chen Jiajun's recruits, and they all clenched their hands.

Chen Ming's words entered their hearts, if there was a way to live, they wouldn't have raised their heads and defected to Chen Jiajun.
