Liu Enbo, Li Chen, and Wen Ju sat down in their seats, guns in their arms, and began to introduce their family history, and several soldiers gathered around them, curiously listening to their stories. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"My father was a soldier of the Beiyang Naval Division." Li Chen first introduced himself.

"Isn't the Beiyang Sailor gone?"

"Yes, the Beiyang Sailor is gone." Li Chen said, "My father was an artilleryman of the Dingyuan ironclad ship of the Beiyang Naval Division, and later the Dingyuan ran aground, and the sailors had to abandon the warship. My father retreated to Weihaiwei with the Beiyang Naval Division, because he fired artillery, so he became a battery soldier. ”

Liu Enbo and Wen Ju arched their hands and said: "After the hero." ”

Li Chen shook his head and said: "My father said that he is not a hero, those Beiyang sailors who died in battle are heroes, he is just a coward who survives." My father would wake up in the middle of the night, and sometimes he would take me to the beach, and he would stand on the beach for a day, without talking or moving. I didn't understand why my dad was standing like this until the night before I left Qingdao for Yangzhou, and my dad told me why. ”

"What is the reason?" The two of them couldn't help but stretch their ears and ask.

Li Chen said: "My father said that the most wretched thing in his life was that during the First Sino-Japanese Naval Battle, he shot crookedly, otherwise the Yoshino would have been blown up and sunk, and maybe his comrades would not have died in battle, so he regretted it very much." He was on the beach, and he could hear the comrades of the Beiyang Naval Division who had died and sunk in the sea, and he could communicate with them and comfort his uneasiness. My father said that as a Beiyang sailor, he never surrendered, but he saw the country ruined, watched the Beiyang Navy Division fall down, watched Lushun Dalian be occupied by the Japanese army, and watched the country fall, he regretted that he did not die on the battlefield and regretted that he was tortured like this. ”

Liu Enbo smiled bitterly: "It's not your father's fault. ”

Li Chen said: "Yes, I also said that it is not my father's fault, the fault is those who are officials, those commanders, and it is not their ordinary soldiers." But my father said that if every soldier of the Beiyang Naval Division thinks so, then there is no need for this fleet to exist, and if no soldier thinks so, then there is no need for this country to exist. As a soldier, no matter from above, no matter behind him, he only needs to look at the opponent and look at the enemy. ”

"But what if someone stabs you in the back?" Liu Enbo retorted.

Li Chen said: "My father said that the Beiyang Naval Master has ten arrows behind him, and he must also draw his sword to face the enemy to the death. ”

"Hero!" The soldiers around him couldn't help but praise.

Wen Ju suddenly said: "In fact, in the year of Gengzi, my father Amai, that is, my father, died in the battle under the Chaoyang Gate of the Beijing Division. The vast majority of those who died in battle with my father were the Eight Banners Army. ”

Li Chen said: "Isn't the Eight Banners Army already dead? Smoking, bird walking, cockfighting? ”

Wen Judao: "Yes, my father is such a gentleman, and our ancestors in the Hesheli lineage have also produced great officials and famous generals, such as Suo Etu, the minister of the Holy Ancestor Emperor, and the Empress Xiaochengren of the Holy Ancestor Emperor, the Chang Concubine of Emperor Xuanzong, and the Imperial Concubine Jingyi of Emperor Muzong. What about my father, because of the ancestors of Mengxun, so he has not been doing his job since he was a child, what cockfighting and walking birds are all familiar, his favorite is fighting crickets, known as the general of Dongmen insects. In the year of Gengzi, the Eight-Nation Alliance first lost the Old Summer Palace, and then attacked the Jingshi City, and the entire Beijing Division was in chaos, and many people fled westward, even Lafayette also fled. In fact, our whole family fled, I was only eight years old at the time, and I was taken by my Marfa - that is, my grandfather fled to Rehe, and my Marfa said that if the Jingshi City was beaten down, the foreigners would never let Lafayette go, and it was not wise to follow Lafayette to flee westward, so it was better to go back to the Guanwai, so we went to the Rehe side. ”

"Yes, your whole family has fled, why didn't your father run away?" Liu Enbo asked curiously.

Wen Ju said: "I said that after my father tied her and me to the car one day, he turned around and went back to the house, put on our ancestral blue flag armor, carried a gun, and said that he would guard the Chaoyang Gate. My Nani cried and said that he would not let him go, my father said that he would go and see, the Han people's Wuwei front army was lost in Tianjin, the Han people's Wuwei Left Army was fighting under the Jingshi City, and the Hui people's Wuwei rear army fought with the foreigners outside the Jingshi City, and as a result, our Manchu Wuwei Army ran away, which was a shame for our Manchus. He is a descendant of the Eight Banners Army, when the ancestors entered the Central Plains with a single sword and a single horse and a pair of armor, but now they let the Han people guard the country for us, if he runs again, he will be ashamed of the ancestors. Wen Ju sighed and said, "My father didn't care about me and me crying, he went to Chaoyangmen with a gun, fought with the Germans for two days, and was killed by the Germans' cannons." Later, his body was collected by my slave, and the whole person was divided into four or five pieces and packed in a body bag. More than 800 Eight Banner Army were all killed under the Jingshi City in that battle, and later the British broke through the Guangqu Gate and surrounded Chaoyang Gate from behind, and more than 30 Eight Banner soldiers who were not killed in the battle all jumped off the city wall. ”

"Why?" Li Chen asked.

"Ashamed of my ancestors, even the capital has been lost, do the soldiers still have the face to live?" Wen Ju sighed.

After half a ring, Liu Enbo clapped his hands and said: "Actually, we people, this time we went abroad to march and fight, just to give our ancestors a long face and wash away the shame on our bodies." ”

"Yes." Li Chen said loudly, "For my father." ”

Wen Ju also nodded heavily, and Liu Enbo laughed and said, "Don't blame me for not reminding you, if you die, it's not a joke." ”

The crowd burst into laughter, and they felt that the greatest danger along the way was the scorpions and vipers that appeared on the ground from time to time, and as for the Mexican army, where were they?

The train whined and was about to start, and many people were riding the train for the first time, but for the student camp, this kind of mechanical transportation was not unusual. Everyone was just very dissatisfied with the air in the carriage, and after a while, Jian Shizhen also came back and told everyone a not-so-good news, the train will stop in a small town after four hours to rest, so everyone needs to sit on the train for four hours, and if someone wants to poop and pee, they need to go to the toilet in the middle of the two carriages.

"What about eating?" Someone asked.

"Eat hairy rice, eat bud rice, roast bud rice." Jian Shizhen said that the so-called bud rice is corn, and the origin of the word corn is that when Cixi fled west, she was hungry and thirsty on the road, and some Shanxi farmers cooked bud rice and presented it to Cixi. Cixi praised it after eating, and after asking the name, she felt that the bud rice was too vulgar, so she changed the name to Yumi, and later heard it as corn in the folk over time, and the word corn is easier to write. The northerners are still accustomed to calling it bud rice, and rarely called corn.

After a while, someone really brought roasted corn, three ears per person, no more, no less.
