Holding a bowl of brown rice mixed with wild vegetables, he and the soldiers sat in a circle and sat on the ground, and Lin Haifeng ate it with relish.

"Your Highness, will you tell you another story?" Chen Yucheng said, squeezing his eyes at Shi Zhenji, the commander of the brigade spy company opposite.

Shi Zhenji knowingly brought a bowl of soup to His Royal Highness King An's side, and handed the clear soup that could only be said to be a pot of water, "Your Highness, yesterday you told the third row the story of the eighteen warriors of the Red Army in the sky who forcibly crossed the Dadu River, we only listened to a tail, so let's tell us about it." ”

Lin Haifeng took the soup, took a sip, and poured the remaining half of the bowl of rice into the bowl of the tall soldier next to him, and smiled, "I'm full, and it's not good to waste the rest, so you can eat it for me." As he spoke, he looked at the soldiers who were staring at him with expectant eyes, and thought for a while, "Actually, the Red Army team in the sky, in order to create a peaceful and prosperous era, has emerged more than a few or dozens of heroes, they are a collective of heroes, so they can create one miracle after another." Today I'm going to tell you the story of the 'Nine Cooks'. ”

He took another sip of soup and gently lowered the bowl to the ground, "The cook is what we often call the firehead. In the sky, in order to smash the encirclement and interception of the demon soldiers, and in order to resist the invasion of Yiguo in the north, the Red Army carried out a long and arduous march. They lacked food and cold supplies, and many Red Army soldiers were still wearing single clothes and straw sandals, and the environment was extremely harsh. In a Red Army company, there was a cooking squad, and there were nine cooks including the squad leader. They had to pay more hardships than the other soldiers. During the march, they had to carry a large aluminum pot and all kinds of utensils on their backs, and they had to rush to the predetermined camp in advance to prepare the brethren with a pitiful food that could barely sustain the minimum living conditions."

Lin Haifeng told emotionally, talking about the old squad leader after the comrades had eaten, and then began to boil the feet for everyone, and said that the old squad leader secretly hid a piece of black pot, and finally the pot turned into rice soup that the comrades relied on for survival, and said that the old squad leader was finally starved to death. The large aluminum pot that had been carried by the old squad leader was passed on the back of another cook. However, the old squad leader left, his spirit remained, and one after another cooks were stepping on his footsteps, silently repeating what the old squad leader had done. One fell, and another picked up.

"When the cruel snow-capped mountains and meadows were left behind by the heroic Workers' and Peasants' Red Army, one morning, the brothers in the company found that the big aluminum pot in the cooking class had been carried on the instructor's body. In the marching procession, there was no longer a shadow of a cook. Nine ordinary cooks, all shed their last drop of blood for the sacred cause they were pursuing. However, their souls will always accompany the Red Army and their own company, and it is with their dedication that not a single combatant in the company falls on the journey. ”

Lin Haifeng's story was finished, and all the soldiers were still staring at him intently, forgetting that there was still unfinished rice in the rice bowl in their hands. And Liu Xianghe, who was sitting next to him, didn't know how many tears fell into his rice bowl.

Chen Yucheng understood more from the story of His Royal Highness King An, and he rubbed his sour nose, "Compared to that Red Army, we are still a lot worse. Many people still look down on the errand of cooking, and always feel that going into battle to kill the demons can be regarded as a hero, and yesterday someone was looking for me, making a noise to leave the cooking class. ”

"Yes, cooking and washing vegetables every day, of course, it is not as happy as killing the enemy." Lin Haifeng smiled, looked at everyone and said, "But we are the Red Army, whether it is me or your brigade commander, we just have different responsibilities for each person." We just want to advocate equality, equality between officers and soldiers, equality between combat soldiers and cooking soldiers, and heroes can be produced in any post, and none of us can do without anyone. When I have time, I will go to the cooking class myself to cook a meal for all of you, and let you have a good look at the craftsmanship of this king. ”

Everyone laughed. Lin Fengxiang also smiled, this His Royal Highness King An is really good at training soldiers, he admired in his heart. A story that comes far faster than any preaching.

"Your Highness, are we going to shave our hair like these brothers?" Shi Zhenji pointed to the submachine gunner in the new military uniform on the other side, and asked with a smile.

"What do you think?" Lin Haifeng looked at him with a smile, turned his gaze to everyone again, and finally landed on Lin Fengxiang.

Shi Zhenji scratched his head embarrassedly, "When I didn't eat just now, the brothers made a fuss for a while, and they all said that it looked good to shave, but that's it" He stroked the long hair on his shoulders and lowered his head.

"I think it's still better like Chitose," Lin Fengxiang said bluntly, "Let's not talk about it, just from the battlefield, once the head is injured, it is inconvenient for us to have long hair." ”

"I agree with Lin Hou's statement, shave, shave, we are the Red Army, we must have the characteristics of the Red Army," Chen Yucheng waved his hand, "Isn't it going to be a new military uniform in a few days, and whoever doesn't shave will be cleared out." His Royal Highness has long said that our Red Army is an armed force against the feudal system, and we must not only bring down the feudal dynasty of the Manchu Dynasty, but also the feudal things in our own heads. ”

"Brigade Commander Chen, don't be so arbitrary." Lin Haifeng looked at Chen Yucheng with a smile, and when he saw more and more soldiers gathering, he stood up, "There is still an emotional problem here." From ancient times to the present, it is a habit for men to keep their hair, and of course there is a reason, that is, the so-called body hair and skin are subject to parents, and casual harm is a great disrespect to the ancestors, and it is also a betrayal of the ancestors. ”

Speaking of this, he stroked his short hair and looked at everyone, "I'm a Han, do you think I'm still a Han now?" ”

The soldiers looked at each other, but of course they won't change. It's just that all the hair is shaved, and it's not the same person.

"Of course you are still Han," Liu Xianghe looked at His Royal Highness King An with passionate eyes, "Your Highness is a god and the pride of our Han people!" ”

"Didn't anyone scold me for betraying my ancestors?" Lin Haifeng laughed, "Actually, remembering the kindness of our parents to us and adding luster to the faces of our ancestors is not whether you retain their traces on the surface, the key is whether you can always keep them in mind and whether you have actual actions." It is better to say a few thoughtful words to your parents and do your best to make them eat and dress well than to go to your own pleasure every day to ask for a good meal. Let our whole kingdom of heaven prosper, the people live and work in peace and contentment, you have paid your sweat and blood, and be remembered by everyone, and our ancestors will be glorious. This is better than going to incense and kowtow to the ancestral tablet every day. ”

He pointed his hand to the north, "The Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs and forced us to shave our hair." How many people refused to give in and lost their precious lives. Why do they do that? Because they feel that shaving their hair is tantamount to betraying their ancestors, and they are not the descendants of their ancestors. But now, how many people are used to wearing a long braid on their backs, and if you ask him to cut off the braids, what will he say? He still clings to his braids, believing that only in this way can he maintain the dignity of his ancestors. Isn't that strange? ”

The soldiers listened carefully to every word that King An said, and there was a lot of emotion in their hearts. Yes, even those people like themselves, who are now accustomed to shaving their foreheads and wearing long braids, will be extremely hostile to the Taiping army who have restored their ancestors' habit of keeping their hair, and viciously call them "hair bandits" and "long hair". The slaughter of the soldiers of the Taiping Army was even more crazy. What kind of body hair and skin comes from parents can't move, it's pure nonsense!

"If you want me to say, this qiē is all a shackle imposed on us by those feudal literati." Lin Haifeng resolutely put his hand down and said loudly, and then, he smiled again, "In ancient times, there was Nuwa to make up for the sky, and later Hua Mulan joined the army, She Taijun and Mu Guiying were in command, and now there is our invincible female army." Aren't these all for the ancestral system, why have they all become heroes through the ages? ”

Lin Haifeng paced a few steps in the crowd, came to the side of a submachine gunner, straightened the military hat on his head, patted him on the shoulder, turned his head and waved it vigorously, "I still say that, heroic Red Army soldiers, you shoulder the expectations of all mankind, for the interests of the people, towards the sun, forward!" ”
