A strange color flashed in Wang Xiaoshan's eyes, and he said calmly: "Report to the chief, I haven't beaten them in my humble position, if the chief doesn't believe it, you can ask the brothers in the class." After a pause, he said: "Since I arrived here, whether on or off the training ground, I have never beaten a soldier in my humble position, and if the commander doesn't believe me, you can also ask Platoon Commander Hu." ”

Zhuang Jihua looked at Hu Zongnan when he heard this, Hu Zongnan nodded and said, "Yes, I have never seen Squad Leader Wang fight soldiers." *, I'm afraid you're thinking bad. ”

"Well, that's good, you said they usually mumble together, what do they all mumble?"

"They are very careful, they are always muttering behind people's backs, and once I heard them talking about their family or something, and I thought it might have something to do with their family." Wang Xiaoshan said.

"Oh!" Zhuang Jihua remembered some practices in his previous life at this time, and he seemed to have some ideas. So he said to Hu Zongnan: "Brother Shoushan, you and squad leader Wang will gather the soldiers in the squad for a meeting, ask them, and ask them if they know what happened to their family." And what these two people usually say. ”

Hu Zongnan agreed and took Wang Xiaoshan away, and Zhuang Jihua said to Song Xilian and Du Yuming: "When you go back to continue training, you must pay special attention to the thinking of the soldiers and tell them not to think wildly. ”

"Yes." The two also left, Song Xilian was about to say something, but Du Yuming pulled him away when he saw this.

As soon as a few people left, the company was empty, only Zhuang Jihua and Cao Yuan were left, and the clerk Li Anguo had a lot of vision and ran out early.

Cao Yuan found a stool and sat down, and then asked Zhuang Jihua: "*, aren't you about to make an example?" ”

"Of course not, I think about how to turn a bad thing into a good thing and open up the current lifeless situation." Zhuang Jihua thought about it and said.

"Lifeless? In the past two days, the atmosphere in Lianli has been good, and the training has also come up, why is it lifeless? Cao Yuan asked puzzled.

"Hmph, what's good? Far from it, don't you see that they are just passively receptive? Does Lian Li have anything else besides training? Soldiers are not machines, they have minds, but if you look at them ...... now. ”

"You are criticizing me, but you are not wrong in criticizing, and it is my responsibility that I did not do a good job in ideological work."

As for ideological work, Cao Yuan has actually thought of a lot of ways, giving lectures to soldiers every night, talking about opposing imperialism and warlords, and is preparing to run a blackboard newspaper, but the problem is that the effect of these work does not seem to be very good, and the soldiers have no reaction, and sometimes he even finds that he is speaking on the stage, and many soldiers below are dozing. He didn't understand why, when he was in a military school, he talked about the same thing, and these cadets always resonated with them below, and always aroused their revolutionary enthusiasm.

"I'm not talking about who's responsible." Zhuang Jihua interrupted Cao Yuan's words: "I'm thinking about how to use this incident to open up the situation of ideological work. ”

"Use this incident to open up the situation of ideological work?" Cao Yuan was a little skeptical, what could be used for this incident, deserters, and the best hope was to be confined. When the regiment and battalion were first formed, they were stationed outside the island, and it was because of the deserters that they moved to the island, and the deserters they captured were shot. With the successive formation of the troops, there have been cases of soldiers escaping in various departments, and the intensity of the treatment has also been reduced a lot, but the lowest is also the whipping.

"Yes, you can watch." Zhuang Jihua is quite sure, the old-timers in his previous life have already done it, but the current ... It doesn't seem to work, but it seems to be summed up.

Then Zhuang Jihua ordered the cooking team to prepare some food for the two, and specially instructed them to have meat. The leader of the cooking class accepted the task with a heavy face; When he returned to the squad, he asked people to buy meat and wine to prepare a "head-killing meal", and the news soon came out, and the squad leader took the opportunity to teach the soldiers a lesson again, and the soldiers were afraid. Zhuang Jihua forgot that in this era, before killing the head, you have to give some delicious food, and there must be wine and meat, this is a rule, and it has been passed down for hundreds of years.

When Squad Leader Niu brought the "head-killing meal" into the company, Zhuang Jihua was a little surprised to find that there was wine, so he asked Squad Leader Niu: "What's going on, how can there be wine?" ”

Elder Niu said honestly: "Company commander, there is wine and meat, this is the rule." ”

"What rules?" Zhuang Jihua was strange, and Cao Yuan was also a little confused.

"The rules of killing heads, eat and drink well before going on the road, and be a full ghost."

"I'm down," Zhuang Jihua blurted out, he now understood what the Niu squad leader said, and if he didn't understand, he would be a fool: "Dogs, who said they were going to kill them." Roll, roll, roll. "Zhuang Jihua is worried, this kid is coming to block again. Looking at the "loyal" face of the Niu squad leader, Zhuang Jihua couldn't wait to kick him out.

After the herald walked into the confinement room with the "head-killing meal", Han Wensheng Zhao Goudan's face was like dirt, this meal was very rich, how similar it was to the legendary head-killing meal. Then Zhuang Jihua came in and asked people to untie them.

"Sit down and eat, you'll be hungry after a night of running." Zhuang Jihua's face was calm, and his voice did not have a trace of color.

The two sat at the table tremblingly, unable to even hold the chopsticks steadily, and suddenly Han Wensheng turned over and knelt down, pounding his head like garlic: "Company commander, spare my life, I don't dare anymore." ”

Zhao Goudan is not Zhao Hanjie also painted a scoop according to the gourd, and even the words are almost the same. Zhuang Jihua felt a little sad, but after thinking about it, he still scared them first, so he said lightly: "Why, if you dare to be a deserter, you won't dare to eat." ”

"The company commander spares his life, I don't dare anymore."

"Company commander, I have an eighty-year-old mother ,....,"

Zhuang Jihua interrupted them and scolded angrily: "It's xx, and I don't even change my lines." ”

After saying that, he slapped him on the table and stood up, and the two of them were so frightened that they immediately got up from the ground.

"Wiped the dog pee, damn, crying and wiping tears, is it still a man?" Zhuang Jihua yelled, "Sit down." ”

The two of them hurriedly sat down.

"Eat."

Grab the chopsticks and stuff them in your mouth.

"Don't choke, slow down." Cao Yuan came in at this time, he heard Zhuang Jihua's roar outside, and hurriedly came in to take a look, and when he saw the two of them, he felt uncomfortable.

The two of them held the bowl and shaved it in their mouths, but they didn't dare to put it down, but they just looked at Zhuang Jihua.

"I want to choke to death, but it's not that cheap." Zhuang Jihua said coldly.

The two were even more frightened, put the bowl down, looked at Zhuang Jihua pitifully, and knelt down again. When Cao Yuan saw their appearance, he was amused and angry in his heart, and said, "Sit down, kneel down at every turn, there are no bones." ”

"You are guilty of a capital crime, and kneeling will spare you. No brains. Zhuang Jihua continued to intimidate them.

The two of them didn't dare to cry now, and they didn't dare to kneel or kneel, sitting there in a daze.

"Company commander, the matter has been done, you can kill me, and leave the dog alive." Han Wensheng said suddenly.

"Drink, there are still heroes." Zhuang Jihua said sarcastically.

"What I said is true, I am from the same village as Dogdan, and I instigated my escape."

"Why are you agitating for an escape?" Zhuang Jihua asked, in fact, this was his purpose, but Han Wensheng took the initiative to jump out of his surprise, his original intention was to scare the two of them first, and then relax, talk to them and understand their thoughts.

"There is no other meaning, we came out to be soldiers, that is, we want to earn some money for the family, after coming to Guangzhou, I heard that there are people who sell piglets to Citigroup, and Citigroup is full of gold, I was tempted, I want to sell piglets to Citigroup, we both came out together, when the old man said that he wanted to walk together, I persuaded him to go with me." After Han Wensheng finished speaking, he calmed down and stopped trembling.

Zhuang Jihua was speechless, that Citigroup Country is the United States, sell piglets to Citigroup, Citigroup is full of gold, I really think of it, there are still people who really believe it.

"Who else is in your family?" Cao Yuan asked, he didn't expect these two people to run away for this.

"I also have an elder brother and two younger brothers in my family, he is the eldest in the dog family, and two younger sisters and a younger brother." Han Wensheng replied.

"Why are you soldiers?" Zhuang Jihua asked.

"I can't open the pot at home, there was an autumn flood in August (the old calendar), the land was flooded, and I had to pay rent and taxes, my family originally had two acres of thin land, and now my brother wanted to sell the land, my father didn't let me, I wanted to sell the land, what should I do next year, just where did you come to us to recruit soldiers, there are twenty yuan to settle in, I gritted my teeth and came here."

"The dog's family is even worse, there is no land at all, his father wants to sell his sister, but the dog said that the trafficker only gave five yuan, and the fourteen-year-old girl only gave five yuan. Goudan snatched his sister back, ran to be a soldier himself, and left the settling-in fee to the family. ”

Han Wensheng wiped his tears, the dog sat there and burst into tears, Zhuang Jihua's hands were trembling, and his heart was trembling, he sold a watch for more than 300 oceans, and he could buy sixty such little girls.

Human life is like paper, and people are not as good as dogs.

"Company commander, kill me, I still have a brother at home, and the dog's family depends on him."

"Company commander, spare us, we won't run anymore. Brother Wensheng, he is a good person.... ”

"Eat, and I won't kill any of them." Zhuang Jihua couldn't hold back any longer, dropped his sentence, pushed the door and went out, he was afraid that he would cry on the spot.

Cao Yuan's eyes were a little red and he said to them: "I didn't want to kill you in the first place, the company commander just scared you, let's eat in peace." ”

Back to the company, Zhuang Jihua was lying on his bed, the words of the two made him very uncomfortable, he didn't really understand this society when he came to this era, he saw a little fur and plagiarized the achievements of his predecessors, and felt very proud, in fact, he was nothing, he didn't know anything.

It took a long time for Zhuang Jihua to calm down. At lunchtime, the whole company was very silent, and Hua Chun, who was usually a little babbling, was scolded by Zhuang Jihua as soon as he said a few words, so the others didn't dare to speak loudly anymore, and even the action of grabbing vegetables was lightened.

Cao Yuan also had a gloomy face, just bowed his head to eat, the clerks, heralds, and trumpeters at the same table were not used to eating at the same table with the chief, but now they were more cautious, for fear that the loud sound of chewing would attract Zhuang Jihua's anger.

In the afternoon, Zhuang Jihua brought Han Wensheng and Zhao Goudan to the front of the whole company, and asked Han Wensheng to say again why he was a soldier in the morning, after Han Wensheng finished speaking, he noticed that most of the soldiers in the company, including the squad leader, lowered their heads, and he asked loudly: "Now I want to ask you, why are you soldiers?" ”

Silent. After a while.

"Me too, there's no way to do it at home,....,"

"......, if you can live, who will come out to be a soldier. …”

"......, I want to feed my mother."

"Anyway, it's death, it's better to starve to death than to die!"

…。

…。

"You all came out to serve as soldiers because you couldn't survive, but have you ever thought about why you can't survive?" Zhuang Jihua asked loudly. Silent....

"You may think it's because of natural disasters, floods, droughts; It's God, no, it's not right, it's not a natural disaster, it's [***]; It is the landlords who collect too much rent, and the taxes collected by the political axe too heavy; But why is there such a heavy rent and such a heavy tax? I tell you that it is the warlords, the foreigners, and the imperialists. ”

"We China is rich in products, and foreigners are red-eyed, so they come to rob and rob, and the warlords are their lackeys, they brutally collect taxes, regardless of whether the people live or die, and the rents and taxes collected are handed over to the imperialists in various ways, so we are so poor, so we can't live."

"Han Wensheng Zhao Goudan They want to sell piglets to Citigroup, I want to tell you, Citigroup is not heaven, I came back from Citigroup, I know Citigroup better than all of you. Citigroup is also called the United States, and in the United States, Chinese still work in the lowest and most dangerous jobs, but they are paid the lowest wages. Let me tell you a fact, Citigroup has a railway that crosses the east and west of the country, and this railway is tens of thousands of kilometers long, but under every sleeper of this railway there is a Chinese soul. ”

"Selling piglets, what are piglets, not people, but animals, brothers, we are human beings, but why we are sold as livestock, why we have become so lowly, why we have become so despicable, it is because of imperialism, warlordism, feudalism, it is because these three mountains are pressing on our heads, and if we do not overthrow them, we will always be pigs and dogs."

"How can you overthrow these three mountains, there is only one way, pick up the gun, and fight with them. When we become soldiers, we will go to war, and we may die, but we deserve to die, we die for our sons and grandchildren who will no longer be sold as livestock, and we will die for our daughters and granddaughters who will no longer be sold, so we are worth it. Zhuang Jihua's emotions became more and more excited.

"Some people may say, let others fight, let others die; Yes, you can dodge, you can ignore it; But have you ever thought that if every one of us were like this, then our sons would still be sold as livestock, and we would still sell our daughters for five dollars because we couldn't survive, and our grandsons would still be sold as livestock, and our sons would sell their daughters for five dollars. Maybe our children and grandchildren will repeat this tragedy, brothers, do you want it! ”

"I don't want to." All the soldiers were infected by his emotions, and all the soldiers shouted loudly with red faces and hoarseness.

"I don't want to."

"Yes, we need to change that, how." Zhuang Jihua picked up the gun he had prepared in advance and lifted him up hard: "That is, pick up the gun, go to battle, shoot at the warlords, and shoot at the imperialists!"

Cao Yuan raised his arms and shouted: "Down with imperialism." ”

"Down with imperialism!"

"Down with the warlord!"

"Down with the warlord!"

"We will not be slaves!"

"We will not be slaves!"
