Chapter 80: The Great Drill 4

86_86695 Gu Guozhang is looking at the battlefield with a telescope. When he saw that the last of the fleeing bandits, who had also been stabbed to death with a spear by the soldiers, he lowered his binoculars and sighed softly. He felt that the work of this bandit was too simple, and even a bit of a waste of time. It seems that it is really like what the chief of education said, the headquarters wants to use these bandits to see the blood of the soldiers.

After being sold to Wangfu Town as an ordinary miner, Gu Guozhang strictly guarded the secret that he was a talent and never revealed his identity.

He knew that six or seven years had passed, and his reputation as a talent had been lost by the enemy. What's more, even if Xiucai's identity is still there, the new owner who bought these miners this time is also a benevolent and righteous person, and he doesn't want to expose his identity as a young Xiucai. In his opinion, a Xiucai has been a slave laborer for six years, and this experience is completely a shame for a scholar. This kind of shame, he would rather die than be exposed.

The impact of the environment on people is enormous. The six-year career as a mine slave has greatly changed Gu Guozhang. It turned out that when he was in the coal mine, all he thought about every day was to eat an extra bite of food, sleep a little more, take a breath more, and so many simple things to survive.

For six years, survival has become his only luxury. Once a person becomes realistic, he will burst out with great subjective initiative. The six-year career as a mine slave transformed Gu Guozhang, a weak scholar who "couldn't pick his shoulders and couldn't lift his hands", into a "basket" with strong organizational skills and great prestige among slave laborers. However, the depression and hatred in his heart have always been buried deep in his heart.

Gu Guozhang only learned the truth about his suffering three years after he was sold to the coal mine. Because his group did a good job, and the people died the least. The overseer who oversaw their group was a little closer to him. It was from the mouth of the overseer that he learned the truth about his betrayal.

It's just that the jealousy of a prefect's son of him has sent him, a young and promising young talent, to hell. After learning the truth, Gu Guozhang first aimed his hatred at the prefect's son. However, the days of suffering taught him step by step, so that the target of his hatred also shifted from the son of the prefect to the prefect, and from the prefect to the court.

Different from those mining slaves from ordinary peasant families, Gu Guozhang, who has read the book and has shown his talents, is soberly aware in his life as a mining slave: The reason why he suffered in his life as a mining slave was not because of his bad life, but because of the collusion between the mine supervisor sent by the emperor Lao'er and the local government and large households. After six years as a mining slave, he clearly realized that his misfortune was completely caused by this world.

However, before coming to Wangfu Town, Gu Guozhang had already become a taciturn person with a heart like stone. During his six years as a mine slave, six or seven people died at his hands. Some of these people were fighting with him for rations, some were at odds with him, and some wanted to bully him. These people were either strangled to death by him in the middle of the night with a shaft rope, or he pushed them down the pit and fell to their deaths. Anyway, in order to survive, he doesn't care about killing people at all.

When he first arrived in Wangfu Town, Gu Guozhang was not like those ordinary miners, because he lived an unimaginable life, even beyond the life of many small landlords in this era, and was rejoicing. After all, he is a well-educated person, and he has always been very wary of such things that go against common sense.

It was not until after the disinfection and restoration work was completed that the camp began to select the miners, and the instructors began to educate the new miners. Gu Guozhang keenly discovered that the day when his salted fish turned over had come.

What is the education of the instructors to the miners, it is the simple activities of the grievance meeting.

As a scholar, Gu Guozhang has endured a hellish life for another six years, and he really can't understand what is going on in people's hearts. These instructors under the so-called Wang Shizun let everyone complain. Suffering is something that everyone has, and as the simple-minded miners came to the stage to complain about their suffering, their tragic experience naturally resonated with everyone. At this time, Gu Guozhang just felt that the new owner's family was really good at buying people's hearts.

In Gu Guozhang's view, the timing of this grievance meeting is very good. The grievance meeting will not be opened for a long time, but it will be opened after everyone has begun to live an unimaginably good life. He thought that the new master's family held this grievance meeting for the purpose of remembering the bittersweet ones. In the past, everyone's life was worse than death, but now everyone eats white rice and pork, wears new clothes and pants, and lives in a big house with red bricks and red tiles. The comparison between the bitterness of the past and the sweetness of the present is just a means for the new owner to let everyone remember their own goodness and buy people's hearts.

It wasn't until after the end of the grievance meeting and when the propaganda and mobilization work was carried out that Gu Guozhang understood that his new master's family, the so-called honor guest of the palace, was going to gather people's hearts and expose the rebellion.

Gu Guozhang felt that the intentions of the new master were really quite sinister. First of all, let everyone complain, causing everyone to think about their miserable situation. After that, there will be a mobilization and propaganda meeting. It doesn't say it directly, but leads everyone to think about why they suffer and sin. As a result, everyone naturally found out the root cause, and naturally aimed their hatred at the government, landlords, and old wealth, who were rich and powerful and bullied.

After that, the propaganda and mobilization work directly pointed out that the only person in the world who cares about the poor brothers in the world is Master Wang. Only Master Wang can give everyone such a good day. The poor brothers in the world, only under the protection of Master Wang, can they not be bullied or humiliated.

When I got here, even the team members who worked with Gu Guozhang originally, a stupid boy named Er Stunned who didn't have a very bright brain, also understood: If you want to live such a good life forever, you have to work hard for Master Wang.

However, what made Gu Guozhang admire was that the instructor did not directly say that defending Master Wang was to defend everyone. On the contrary, after the selection of miners, Wang Shuhui took the stage and said something to everyone, "The so-called backing on the mountains and mountains is relying on the sea and the sea." It is better for a father to have a mother than for himself, and it is better for a father to kiss his mother than to kiss himself. I don't ask you to appreciate my care, I just ask you to have the ability to defend yourself and live a good life. ā€

Subsequently, the miners became an army. Train during the day and study at night every day. In the process of training, the instructor repeatedly emphasized only one truth, "I don't want to be bullied, I don't want to live a poor life, I can only rely on my own martial arts, and I can only rely on my own culture." In this way, whether it is training in military practice or reading and arithmetic, these things are closely related to "not being bullied and living a good life".

As a scholar, Gu Guozhang can't help but admire this master Wang in his heart, and he can't help but admire this master Wang. also wants to rebel, compared with the robbers in the history books, Master Wang is like a saint. There was not a word that made everyone work hard, and thousands of young people were grateful. Not only do they practice martial arts every day, but these mining slaves who don't know a single big word can really read books and count.

In Gu Guozhang's view, the rebellion is just a reason to make everyone sell their lives. But this Wang Shizun didn't say a word of rebellion. It's just about practicing martial arts and strengthening one's body, and reading is reasonable. However, Gu Guozhang clearly knew that as long as everyone followed the words of this Wang Shizun, rebellion was the only way.

Gu Guozhang knew that it was only after six years of hard life, and he, a talented man who had read the sage books for more than ten years and had a meritorious reputation, felt that the rebellion was justified and well-founded. Then it is conceivable that those poor mining slaves who have lived a hard life all their lives will have any psychological pressure on the rebellion.

Although Gu Guozhang didn't believe it in his heart, Wang Shizun was really like those instructors who propagated, and he wanted to be the master of the poor people in the world. However, seeing thousands of miners, in just over half a month, they were trained to be able to run in a queue for cross-country running; The phalanx of dozens of people marched meticulously under the interference of stone garbage; Everyone can write forty or fifty simple words, and after using the big food number to calculate addition and subtraction within a hundred, he already knows: The rebellion is definitely a great chance of victory in the hands of Wang Shizun. Gu Guozhang decided at this time that he wanted to get ahead in Wang Shizun's rebellion.

If a person with a basic education wants to stand out from the crowd of illiterates, it is as easy as it is. Gu Guozhang is not only better than others in literacy, but also better than others in arithmetic, that is, in training, because his understanding of passwords is easier and more understandable than others, which also makes him better in training than other ordinary soldiers born from mining slaves.

After the basic training, Gu Guozhang easily passed the assessment. After that, he stood out in the later assessment and actually became the only platoon commander who was not from Wang Shuhui's original subordinates.

Originally, many of Wang Shuhui's old subordinates did not have any confidence in this unidentified young miner. Many people have built yƬ Wang Shuhui, don't believe this young man who memorized "The Law of All Things" and "The Law of All Things" and "The Uniformity of All Ages", and was smoother than the instructors of the original teaching camp. But Wang Shuhui felt that it didn't matter.

In Wang Shuhui's view, this young man named Gu Guozhang is likely to be the origin of a scholar in this era. Of course, feudal literati were difficult to reform. However, a scholar like Gu Guozhang, who was abandoned into a dark mine and studied for six or seven years, will only hate the existing court and the current government more than ordinary people. Because the stark contrast between the upper life of the vested interests and the life of the lowest level of society will only make this scholar, who was originally a scholar in the system, hate the current world even more frantically.

Because Wang Shuhui, who has lived in modern times for more than 20 years, knows. In modern society, the most ferocious people who scold the government and the ruling party, and even dare to operate subversive conspiracies in reality, are often the losers of competition within groups with vested interests.

Gu Guozhang didn't know what Wang Shuhui thought of himself, a newcomer who stood out. However, in the subsequent large-scale military training, it was discovered that Wang Shizun's power had penetrated into more than 30 villages, and more than 1,000 young and strong laborers with basic training could be summoned at the first order. Gu Guozhang knew that if he wanted to achieve a higher status in this group and achieve his goal of revenge against the imperial court, he had to work hard with all his heart.

Gu Guozhang, who silently memorized the "Infantry Manual" and the "Basic Command Manual" in his heart to compare his command process, ordered the soldiers to start cleaning the battlefield.

I saw that the staff officer of the platoon had already gone to interrogate with the investigators. Gu Guozhang looked at the instructor who was talking to the soldiers. I turned around and walked to a big tree, took out "Fundamentals of Mathematics" and began to read it.

Gu Guozhang clearly knew that under the military principle of "seven steps," he only needed to be responsible for the first four steps of "reconnaissance of the enemy's situation," "setting up the battlefield," "long-range strike," "melee killing," "treating the wounded," "epidemic prevention and clearance," and "summing up experience." As for the next three steps, such as "treating the wounded," "preventing the epidemic and clearing the scene," and "summing up experience," the chief medical officer, staff officer, and chief instructor are naturally responsible.

Gu Guozhang is not a person who likes to take power and do a lot of things. He clearly knows that if he wants to stand out in the group, he must follow the rules of Master Wang and do it meticulously.

Rules are rules. Gu Guozhang knows that what he needs to do now is to abide by the rules and make achievements. He is now seizing a moment to endorse the book, precisely because he clearly knows that the Fuxing Association established by Wang Shizun is about to conduct a big assessment and start recruiting personnel
