Chapter 179: POV: Liu Ruyi also had a dream (2)
They have honor, they pursue honor, they are not just isolated individuals, they have a connection with each other, there is a connection that goes beyond the blood and is higher than the bloodline, this connection makes them depend on each other for life and death on the battlefield, protect each other in the barracks, and on such occasions, they are all united, honor and disgrace.

The applause spread like a tidal wave, but in a few breaths, everyone learned this simple way of clapping: gently open their palms, tap together hard and hard, make a crisp sound, and do it again, and it is the perfect applause.
No skill is required, only strength, and the louder the voice, the more the soldier likes it.
The soldier who walked up to the high platform looked simple, at first glance he was a young man from a peasant background, he had thick eyebrows, a broad face, a big mouth, and looked like a simple and honest old cow. And his body is also very similar to that of an old cow, strong and magnificent, with well-developed muscles bulging like a hill, representing infinite strength and energy. The only thing is different from ordinary farmers, his eyes flashed with a confident light, this is the light that only people with self-confidence and strength can have, people with this kind of light, even if there is no way ahead, will stick all the way to the end, do not die until the Yellow River, do not cry when they do not see the coffin, stubborn to the extreme, extremely cute.
Such a soldier, loyal and self-confident, is the best defender of Datongism.
The soldier solemnly saluted the son, and then saluted the citizen, and there was no shyness that a peasant child should have. He looked solemn and said loudly: "Hello everyone, I am Niu Dazhuang, half a year ago, I was far worse than you, and I was an ordinary farmer!" He didn't say the military rank, because the internal military system of the Datong Army and the Ming Army system are completely incompatible, and it is not appropriate to make it public for the time being.
The citizens applauded him loudly, and they did not dare to applaud the prince rashly, after all, the majesty of the imperial court officials had been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and ordinary people would never be allowed to offend. But because of the tradition of being noble and lowly, they were not afraid of this soldier, but they also had a good impression of this polite and generous Niu Dazhuang, so they shouted one after another.
Niu Dazhuang patiently waited for the noise of the crowd to end before telling his story: "I have wanted to be a general since I was a child, carrying a gun, wearing a helmet, riding a tall horse, and leading thousands of troops to protect my family and defend the country and benefit one party!" But my father said that our family is the life of a poor gangster, and after a hard year, it would be good to be able to get a full belly, where can I be a general! My brother also laughed at me, saying that I was a toad who wanted to eat swan meat, an ordinary peasant boy, who had never practiced martial arts, never learned the art of war, was not favored by nobles, and was quite a general! Do you know, after hearing these words, my heart is cold, they are my father and brother, but they are also so disdainful of me, you say, how can I be a general! Speaking of this, Niu Dazhuang looked a little sad, obviously these words deeply hurt his heart, so that to this day, he still can't forget it.
Everyone listened to his words, and their expressions were a little lonely, this is not just the pain of Niu Dazhuang alone, this is a pain shared by everyone, a pain that is not understood, not accepted, and not valued.
"Once, I was carrying work for my boss in the field, and a dozen tall horses ran past the side of the road, which was really majestic! The general led by him was wearing iron armor, carrying a long knife at his waist, and the dark horse under his crotch was incomparable, and he could take five steps against ordinary people in one step, which was really faster than the meteor lightning! And his soldiers are also extremely majestic, all wearing helmets and armor, holding swords and swords, like the heavenly soldiers and generals in the opera! ”
"I was so stunned that I forgot to carry my work, and I just stood there, and watched them run out of my sight, even if they ran away, and I watched the smoke and dust from the hooves of their horses, and fantasized about how good it would be if I were one of them, and forgot all about what I did!"
"I was trying to be happy, and I got a blow to the head! I looked back, it turned out to be my owner, he saw that I didn't work, only in a daze, his face was red with anger, he picked up a stick and beat his head and face, and scolded while beating, 'You don't have long eyes, you bastard, Lao Tzu gave you food, you clothes, you don't work, you have to kill you'!" His stick was often used to beat people, and the material was made of iron wood, and the place where he grasped it was extremely smooth, and it hurt for five or six days as if he had been beaten with an iron rod! Niu Dazhuang calmly stated the details of his beating: "He hit me on the head first, I said don't hit my head, if it is broken, it will not work, he thought about it, so he picked out the place where I had a lot of flesh and beaten, thighs, small arms, buttocks, saw me hiding, and poked me with a stick, now I am not good to take off my clothes, otherwise I will show you, the marks of the beating, I can still see it!" ”
Saying that, Niu Dazhuang said tragically: "Big guy comment, my old cow has worked for him for five years, and he is usually conscientious, getting up early and greedy for darkness, getting up earlier than chickens, sleeping later than dogs, eating less than rabbits, and never being lazy!" And now, because my old cow was stunned for a while, he beat me with the stick of iron wood. After speaking, he shouted again: "This landlord, his own son is in his twenties, about the same age as me, he is reluctant to move a finger since he was a child, people in their twenties only know how to eat, drink and have fun every day, but I have to work for him, and if he is in a daze, he will be beaten, all of them are raised by his father and mother, is my old cow not a person?" ”
When everyone heard this, they clenched their fists, and scolded loudly, the unpretentious and detailed truth is the easiest to move people, and these people are mostly craftsmen and ordinary traders, which people have not been oppressed by the powerful and bullied by their superiors in the past, so they seem to have substituted themselves into the world of Niu Dazhuang, and they have scolded the damned landlord.
The more Liu Ruyi listened, the more wrong he became, he seemed to have heard Zhou Jun talk about this story, it was a work specially created by the propaganda group, and at that time there was a dispute over what kind of stick the landlord Lao Cai used to beat people, some people said that the stick of Tie Limu was too heavy, and it could only be used to hit the board, and it was absolutely impossible to hit the people who were dodging, but some people said that the landlord was also powerful, how could he not fight. The propaganda group is all half-grown singing teenagers and prodigal undesirable scholars, and they usually like to rap and talk a lot, so they quickly quarreled, and as a result, Liu Ruyi, who slept next to them, couldn't sleep, so he could only listen to them noisy and shouting.
But even if Liu Ruyi heard something wrong, he didn't dare to say it in public, after all, the people who moved their emotions were unreasonable, and if he easily questioned it, he was afraid that he would be beaten and splashed with blood on the spot.
"It seems that this Niu Da Zhuang was also specially picked out by Gongzi!" Liu Ruyi thought like this, and admired it in her heart: "This Niu Da Zhuang is really a natural actor!" looks honest and dignified, but he has a bad stomach, if I hadn't heard this story, he would have been overcome!
