"Dad, I'm leaving."

Before evacuating from Lintao in Didao Prefecture, Qi Bao reluctantly said goodbye to his old father, who had lived in widowhood for many years and pulled himself with a handful of and urine, but he saw the helplessness and sadness in the eyes of his old father who was also unwilling to abandon his homeland and enter Lintao from the countryside, and now he refused to leave Ningxia with him.

"If you knew this was the case, why bother in the first place? Alas...... "Although the old father was originally from the countryside where he had made do, in a short period of time because of his "rebellion" and ascended to the sky, he finally disobeyed, but finally moved into the city of Lintao, which may still be envious before, but the old father didn't seem to be really happy, even for a moment. What is my father worried about? Of course, Qi Baoxiang will not not understand.

"It's like this in the morning and evening." The cigarette pouch and pot in the old man's hand began to flicker with starry firelight, and Qi Baoxiang saw a wisp of smoke slowly flowing out of the corners of the old father's prematurely relaxed mouth.

Qi Baoxiang was silent. Yes, the old father does not know a single word, and has never had any high expectations for life, but he has spent most of his life on a few acres of thin fields around the family, hard work, "do not do bad things to not be afraid of ghosts calling the door" is his lifelong belief, of course he will not be a prophet, but he has the feeling of a prophet.

When the news of the Shaanxi Huihui riot set off by Ren Wu, Bai Yanhu and other bandits, including Jingshou and Mu Yin, spread to Hezhou and Lintao, causing a large number of Huihui in the two places to move, the old father looked at himself who was sharpening his knife Huo Huo's words at the beginning, which made Qi Baoxiang unforgettable.

"It's all from the villagers, look down and don't look up," Qi Baoxiang still remembered, when the old father said these words, there seemed to be a pleading look in his eyes, "Not to mention how much help the Han brothers have given us, people must know how to repay the kindness!" When it's okay, just sit quietly and think about it, they are harder, more enduring, and too kind than us. If anyone wants to have evil thoughts against them, sooner or later you will know that if others don't want to go, they are actually embarrassed by themselves. Man, not a brute, have a conscience......"

In just a few months, Qi Baoxiang really understood the profound connotation of his father's words. Hezhou raised troops, although the Hezhou Hui rebel army could not get rid of the overall goal of the rebellion with the Taiping Tian** team as the enemy, but they did not like Shaanxi Bai Yanhu, Ren Wu and others, although there were a few exceptions, but more people did not have a poisonous hand in the Hanmin Township where they used to get along like brothers.

Don't you dare? Obviously not, but they still have a more or less good conscience. Because, killing people, especially brutalizing others, may still be a very happy thing.

"Whatever you do, you must always be worthy of your conscience, and the old man loves to say this. In fact, it is the case that individuals should be like this. Decades later, when some "well-known scholars" insisted on making a fuss about the Shaanxi-Gansu rebellion and tried to expose to the world the unknown number of shady things they thought must have existed, Qi Baoxiang happened to sit in front of his father's tomb that had been deceased for many years and was interviewed by some people with ulterior motives.

"Indeed, for most of my life, I have said something that is not quite appropriate, that is, whining, otherwise you probably would not have come to my door. However, what I say below may disappoint you too much, but it is just the way it is. Qi Baoxiang stroked his father's tombstone, asked his wife and daughter-in-law to set up four exquisite snacks in front of his father, and then pointed to his son and grandson, poured a glass of Xifeng old wine, which won the silver medal at the Shanghai World Exposition, and then looked at several "scholars" behind him: "This is not because I am a retired Red Army soldier, nor because I am as you all know very well in your hearts, the current Celestial Empire Red Army is invincible in the world, I say this, history is history." We thought that Hezhou was as solid as a rock, and rejected the Red Army's request that we must evacuate Hezhou, but in the blink of an eye, the southern city of Hezhou was controlled by the Red Army. ”

Qi Baoxiang smiled and glanced at several "scholars" who had begun to show obvious displeasure, picked up his wine glass on the ground, and drank with his sleeping old father, "It seems that you don't know what a real army should look like. I tell you that the rebel army of those years could not be compared with the Red Army in any respect, except for its self-righteous arrogance. Do you know what we used in the first place? Hehe, it's too embarrassing to say, our weapons are very primitive, mainly kitchen knives, sickles, guillotines and other furniture and farm tools, and then bamboo pole guns made of bamboo poles. Firearms such as guns and artillery were simply extravagant, let alone weapons in the hands of the Red Army. Unexpectedly, as soon as the southern city was broken, the Red Army stopped the more fierce attack that should have been, and only ordered us to withdraw from Hezhou. We were able to get out of the whole body, including the later battle of Lintao, it was all the same, why? It is because despite the riots, despite the fact that the Red Army has created one trouble after another for the Red Army to eliminate the Shaanxi-Gansu Qing Demon and recover the Northwest, and perhaps the blood of the Red Army soldiers on our hands, the Red Army still remembers that we are not as frantic as the Shaanxi Rebellion, and still gives us a way out. Is it easy to siege a city? That's going to kill people. If it is placed on you, who will? ”

"The Qing Demon keeps saying that he supports us, but when we retreat into Lintao, whether it is Anding or the Qing Demon of Lanzhou Mansion, they don't care about us like they treat Shaanxi Huihui, I don't say the truth, you should also understand." Qi Baoxiang put down the empty wine glass in his hand and shook a gramophone with his own hands, and what came out of the gramophone was the voice of Lin Haifeng, who was known to everyone in the Celestial Empire.

“…… The Chinese nation is the greatest nation, and for thousands of years, for the sake of national unity and tranquility, generation after generation of people with lofty ideals have fought heroically, and they are all heroes of our nation, whether they are famous or unknown. Here, I would like to extend my highest respect and condolences to the deceased who devoted themselves to national reunification and territorial integrity! You can't forget the past, and forgetting the past means betrayal! This is on August 1, the year 10th anniversary of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom's victory in the liberation of the whole country, Lin Haifeng's speech at the Tianjing Martyrs' Garden.

"King An said that the old man is also a hero." Qi Baoxiang stared at his father's tombstone, "Marshal Ma Zhanao, as well as many of the marshals in the Gansu Hui Army, are all because they conformed to history and repented in time, and finally made the Hui nationality in the big family of the Chinese nation still exist to this day, and also preserve the living area of the Hui people in Gansu, otherwise ...... As you have all seen, there are no Hui people in Shaanxi now, and this is retribution. Don't guess and think about it, tell you, the most murderous people in the counterinsurgency are our Gansu Hui Army, Marshal Ma Zhanao, General Dong Fuxiang, and of course, me. ”

"Grandpa, grandpa, I still want to hear you tell the story of the grandfather who can dance the fifty-pound big ring knife." Dressed in a bright and heroic military uniform of the Red Army cadets of the Celestial Empire, the little grandson, who was only ten years old, came over and hugged his grandfather's neck, gently pulled his grandfather's gray beard, and sprinkled coquettishly.

"I don't know if you are the so-called purebred Muslims, but I still want to tell you that you are not doing anything noble, let alone for the revival of the Hui people." Qi Baoxiang hugged his little grandson, kissed him, and looked at a few "scholars" indifferently: "The newspaper is making noise again that the minority children who take the university exam should be given extra points to show the equality of the nationalities, is this equality?" What happened to the Han Chinese? If there are too many people, you should die? It's not about equality, it's about fundamentally looking down on yourself. Is it a mule or a horse, pull it out and slip around to know that it can be done by relying on other people's charity? You probably don't know that I'm not a Hui anymore, I'm a soldier, for the sake of the people, I can spare as many people's lives as I want, can't I give up anything? I can't be like a special animal, telling the majority to let myself go, and I can eat what they can eat, grass roots, tree bark, rats, snakes, not to mention pork. ”

"You don't have a backache when you stand and talk, you get favors, honors, no sorrows, and of course you can throw away anything, including your faith." The "scholars" have finally lost their pretense of gentleness.

"Faith? It's a shame that you can still say these two words. Qi Baoxiang laughed out loud, "My belief is that the world is the same, **, and I will never lose it!" ”

A "scholar" pursed his lips in disdain, and his gaze swept to Qi Baoxiang's youngest grandson.

"I know, you're talking about him. I am not qualified to arrange this road for my grandson. Qi Baoxiang flicked on the forehead of his little grandson, very lightly, "My grandson is very competitive and has been recommended by Marshal Chen Yucheng, if any of you are not convinced, you can also go to the battlefield and climb for decades." ”

Qi Baoxiang no longer bothered with those "scholars": "Good grandson, today we will talk about your Grandpa Meng, who was the first Red Army hero to fight side by side with his grandfather." Hehe, let's talk about his history, that is the number one person on the list of Red Army generals in our Celestial Empire, Meng Wenyue, Guangxi Shorty, is the old Heavenly Army of the Jintian regimental battalion, and the first Red Army unit of the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army of our Celestial Empire, the first batch of Red Army soldiers of the teaching brigade, and graduated from the third phase of the cavalry department of the Army Academy of the Red Army University. He successively served as company commander, battalion commander, and regiment commander...... That guy is short and strong, agile and good at fighting, and he is used to using a fifty-pound big knife every time he rushes into battle. Hehe, they all say how powerful Guan Yunchang is, what kind of Qinglong Yanyue Knife and the like, we haven't seen it, it's just a story. But your Grandpa Meng's big ring knife is real, and it dances immediately, like a fierce beast fighting people, and everyone dies, and no one in the early army does not know the reputation of "Meng Fifty". Of course, those enemies hated him to death and gave him the vicious nickname, "The Beast" ......"

(Note: In the days when the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom government was recovering the whole country and building a prosperous and powerful country, it adopted many management methods in order to maintain the purity and regularization of the army.) Among them, one of the means is to select children to enter military schools, and to study through primary and secondary schools to universities. It also stipulates that retired military veterans of the rank of general and above of the Red Army of the Celestial Empire may recommend an outstanding child to enter a military academy every ten years without examination to participate in this kind of study. Of course, this type of place does not take up the fixed number of students enrolled each year. Do not take this as a preference, and if a child nominated by the patriarch fails to complete his or her studies, the referrer will be responsible for the punishment in accordance with the relevant punishment regulations. Don't think that this is just a high-sounding rhetoric, the first person to be punished was Li Xiucheng, a retired general of the Red Army of the Celestial Empire, because the students he recommended were determined by the school to be unsuitable for continuing to train as professional soldiers after three years of schooling, wasting the country's resources, and Li Xiucheng lost his honor as a retired general and became a retired lieutenant general. Moreover, none of the children who are fortunate enough to participate in this training are the children of the patriarchs. ）
