Chapter 19: Petition and the Final Lesson
Qian Haixin's matter did not spread, Wang Yi asked all the insiders not to talk about related matters anymore, and about a week later, the hustle and bustle stopped.
"Haixin, sit!"
In Wang Yi's office, Qian Haixin had just returned from his hometown, along with his mother Qian Zhao and his sister Qian Xiaohuan. His father's aftermath has also been completed, and it is not a grand funeral, at least there is a clean place behind him.
This qiē was carried out in secret and did not attract the attention of the locals of Sifang Village.
"Thank you, sir!" After Qian Haixin sat down, he began to cry.
Wang Yi didn't say much, and it wasn't until Qian Haixin himself stopped that he continued: "Your mother was arranged to work as a cleaner in the Dashang Silver Furnace, so there should be no problem in life. Your sister will come to school after September, so don't worry about the rest. ”
"Thank you, sir!"
Qian Haixin got up and bowed to Wang Yi.
"Your family's affairs are completely over today, after you go back, study hard, don't always think about revenge, do you understand?"
Qian Haixin nodded.
"It's not a good feeling to live in hatred, think more about your mother and sister." Wang Yi thought for a while, and then said: "The problems encountered by your family, the big landlords, bandits and tax collectors, are not only the problems of your family, everyone is facing the same problems, this is the problem of the entire Qing Dynasty. How to change, not only you, but all of us are powerless now! And what you have to do now is to study hard and work hard to become a talent. When you graduate and enter the society, Mr. does not ask you to do more, as long as you can make the world a little better than before, then Mr. will be very pleased. ”
"Sir, I see!" Qian Haixin stood up again and bowed respectfully.
"Then you get out!"
Qian Haixin nodded and turned to leave.
Zhang Jingxiao was standing behind Wang Yi at this time, and he was also pondering Wang Yi's words in his heart. "As long as we can make the world a little bit better than yesterday, that's fine." What a simple goal, but so difficult to do.
Xiang Long led the people to hide in the dense forest on the west side of the mountain road, his eyes staring at the situation at the far end of the mountain road like a tiger in predation. Zheng Haitao hid on the other side, and his expression was the same.
Recently, Wang Yi's order was very simple, that is, to eliminate all bandits within fifty miles of the school. The information of each lock is provided by the Zhang family, and if necessary, Zhang Quande will also come to help with the group training. However, so far, there is no need for Zhang Quande to come forward, because the scale of the surrounding dreadlocks is relatively small, the largest is only about 100 people, and there are both old and young, up to 60, down to 123, a total of only about ten guns. Although the number of Wuban is not very large, there are only more than 20 rear-loading guns, and half of them are captured by fighting bandits. However, the huge gap at the level of Suzhì still made the bandits completely lose the confidence to resist after several rounds of attacks by Wuban. The surrender of surrender, the escape of escape.
The property obtained after the suppression of the bandits made Wang Yi a windfall. Of course, this does not mean that the whole area is peaceful, and occasionally there will be some wandering horse bandits who will commit crimes nearby, and Wang Yi does not have much to do about it.
It's just that the situation is different today, and today the target is not the bandit beard of the past, but the tax collector.
To kill an official is to rebel! The matter of the Nine Clans!
Unlike in the past, Wang Yi did not directly propose the goal of the action. He just told the experience of Qian Haixin's family anonymously in class, spoke very objectively, and tried not to mix any emotional color. At the end, he did an investigation in Wuban.
A simple multiple-choice question, do you think the tax officer should be killed?
Damn it, the world needs to change. It should not be killed, killing officials is a big crime of the Nine Clans.
Everyone in the martial arts class knew that it was the captain who asked them to make a statement. Everyone thought twice and finally gave their own choice. Among them, there are 48 people, including Wu Xiao, Xiang Long, and Zheng Haitao. There are 12 people who choose two.
Wang then called all the players who chose one together, and then talked to each of them individually, and asked only one question.
"At the moment I'm going to organize an operation, and the code name of the operation is 'Vote for the Name'. I'll give you three minutes to think about it, one is not to join, and the other is to join. If you choose one, you can leave immediately. And once you choose two, you can't quit! Remember, you can never quit! ”
When Wang Yi gave the choice, he did not set one to join and the second to not join according to common sense, because there would be a psychological hint. He didn't want to influence the mental judgment of the team members in this way, he wanted them to be able to use guò to think and give the true answer in their hearts.
In the end, eight more chose to leave, and only forty remained.
Wang Yi sighed in his heart, there were forty people left out of sixty people, which was beyond his expectations, and it was originally expected that it would be good to be able to leave half of them.
There are not too many of those twenty people, and Wang Yi knows in his heart that his friendship with their teachers and students is completely over today. As the saying goes, the Tao is different and there is no conspiracy for each other, and what I will do in the future is a rebellion with my head pinned to the waistband of my trousers. If we can't unite as one, I'm afraid that in the future, there will be at most one Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.
Ten days later, Wang Yi personally sent these twenty people away, in fact, on the day Wang Yi asked them to make a choice, these people already had a faint premonition in their hearts. It's just that he still deceives himself in disbelief, but when it really happens, whether it is staying or leaving, everyone can't cry.
Wang Yi did not embarrass these people, as far as he knew, these team members all had families or were in a big family. Everyone has too many ties and too many social relationships, and they can't be like a bachelor like Wang Yi, so choosing to be a citizen is the best choice, which is human nature.
On the day of parting, the sky was a little overcast, but there was no rain or wind.
The rest of the martial arts team members lined up at the gate of the Wenwu School to see each other off, they were once comrades, but they were separated because of different ideals. The students of the Wenban stood in the classroom, looking at the division of the martial arts team members with tears in their eyes.
Wang Yi stood between the departing team members and the remaining team members, facing the departing team members, and muttered for a long time before saying: "You have a game with my teachers and students, I feel that I haven't taken good care of you......"
"Captain...... Everyone except Wang Yi cried.
"However, as the saying goes, different ways do not conspire with each other, and you have followed me for so long, and you have a general understanding of the whole world. For the humiliation and disasters that the entire Chinese nation has suffered and will encounter, his heart is no longer as confused as ordinary people. But I was thinking, is that okay? Maybe letting you live your life in a mess is the real happiness. ”
"Captain......
Wang Yi waved his hand, and continued: "However, I immediately denied my thoughts, because that is not happiness, it is escape!" Today's society is as gloomy, depressing, silent, and dead as it is today. If we can't pierce this day, the sun in the sky will never shine. Of course, it's a very dangerous thing to do, but someone has to do it! Wang Yi looked back at the rest of the team members and smiled, very pleased.
"But I don't regret teaching you!" Wang Yi turned his face again, and said with a calm expression: "Maybe you can't become the generals and soldiers under my command, but it doesn't mean that you can't hold your chest up and live upright!" At least I have planted a spark of hope in your hearts, and I am sure that one day, they will thrive and shine in your hearts. Even if my body turns into dry bones, you will use him to illuminate the world! ”
"Remember my words, honor your parents, don't be a traitor, and don't turn your back on the motherland and the people wherever you are! Read more books, learn more skills, and live a good life! Did you hear that!? Wang Yi's voice was amplified.
The twenty people said in unison: "Captain Xie's teaching!" ”
"Wu Xiao!"
"Here!"
"Send comrades!"
"Yes!" Wu Xiao took three steps forward at this time, stood at the front of the remaining team members, and said in a loud voice: "All the martial arts team members sign up!" - Wu Xiao! ”
"Xiang Long!"
"Zheng Haitao!"
……
"All the team members send their comrades, salute!"
Leaving the team members will also return the military salute!
The scene of that day still echoes in Zheng Haitao's mind today, and it seems that he is still by his side when he leaves those teammates. At this time, there was a cuckoo cry in the woods on the opposite side of the mountain road, Wu Xiao looked at Zheng Haitao, who was a little distracted, and reminded in a low voice: "Company commander, the target is here!" ”
Zheng Haitao paused slightly, then reacted immediately, and said, "You can also prepare!" ”
Wu Xiao nodded and left, and Zheng Haitao gave orders to all the team members in sign language, asking them to find their own targets and not repeat.
Feng Youyi rode on a horse, followed by two petty officers in the team, carrying Winchester M1873 rifles, and then three double-wheeled carriages, all of which were the taxes he had collected. Forty soldiers were escorted, all armed with German Mauser 71 rifles.
Although this Feng Youyi is a corrupt official, he has a good brain, he knows that he has offended many people, and even the family is ruined by him, and there are no longer a few. In addition, there are many ruthless masters who have fought without saying a word in recent years, not to mention far away, there are countless tax officials who died in the hands of Song Sanhao and Gao Xiyan. So he was afraid that the enemy would calculate him, so he paid for his own equipment for his soldiers.
At this time, he was riding on a horse and calculating the profit of his trip, and he became proud when he calculated it.
"It's not in vain that grandpa went out of this far house, in addition to the usual entry for the above masters, he can also leave more than 1,300 taels, plus the 1,000 taels given by the old guard before, haha, this time and again, it is 2,300 taels!" Feng Youyi looked back at the second and third carriages at this time, and his mood became depressed again. "Grandma's, this is the tax money sent to Shengjing by Yingkou and Haicheng Lijin Bureau, but it's a pity that I didn't have a chance to do it...... It's a pity, it's a pity! ”
At this moment, a gunshot suddenly rang out, and before Feng Yi could understand what was going on, his whole person had already been taken off his horse by a huge inertia, and the scene in front of him was chaotic and noisy, but it was like slowing down. After a painful convulsion, he was completely out of breath.
