This time, no one spoke. All of them listened attentively with serious faces.

"You have two choices, one is to give you a month's worth of dry food and money, and you can find another job. It's okay to go to other peasant army ranks, or go away from home, and be an ordinary person incognito. ”

When Hu Guang finished talking about this first choice, he saw many people looking at each other, with different expressions on their faces, as if they intended to move but did not dare to speak.

So, he announced loudly: "You can rest assured, what I said Hu Guang, the water I spilled, will never go back!" ”

Before the people in the square could react, Hu Hansan, who was under the platform, shouted loudly: "Childe, what about the second choice?" ”

When everyone heard this, those who originally wanted to speak shut up, looked at Hu Guang and waited for him to say the second choice.

Hu Kuan sat on the rightmost wall of the stage, just enough to block the wind. He shook his head slightly at this time, looking at his second brother a little helplessly.

When I discussed it last night, according to my own intentions, I didn't need to say this at all. It doesn't matter if you want to follow or don't want to follow, since you are on this boat, don't get off the boat.

You know, there are so few people now, if you go a large number of people, how can you fight the government?

But the second brother insisted, and after he said the reason, Hu Kuan finally agreed.

At this time, I heard Hu Guang say loudly in the middle of the stage: "The second choice is to believe in me Hu Guang and be willing to follow me." I can't guarantee that I will live to be seventy or eighty years old, but I can promise that as long as I have a bite to eat, I will never let you starve; As long as I have clothes to wear, I will never freeze you. ”

"My principle, for my companions, never abandon or give up, share weal and woe, and fight together!"

"Now give you a stick of incense time to think about it and make a choice that comes from your heart!"

After Hu Guang finished speaking, he turned around and walked to the side of the stage and talked to his eldest brother.

This choice is related to the future life and can be said to be an important life decision. Men and women, young and old, are not stupid, and they immediately began to weigh in their hearts.

Some people who originally heard the first choice and were quite moved, when they heard the second choice given by Hu Guang, especially when he promised that he would never abandon or give up, they immediately remembered that Wang Jiayin had abandoned them and fled.

and Wang Jiayin eats and drinks a lot, and his henchmen can also eat a lot of fish and meat, while ordinary people like them can only eat a little every day. And so on and so forth, and so on.

People really can't be compared, as long as you compare, you will find that the difference is great.

They found that Hu Guang was not much better, and some people even thought that with such a leader, even if he died, it was actually not a big deal.

Sixiao also appeared in the crowd to tell about the benevolence and righteousness of the son, who were originally going to die, and how well they have lived since they followed the son.

Hu Hansan listened to Sixiao's vigorous talk, so he went to see Wang Heizi, thinking that he would also tell his experience. But he didn't think that Wang Heizi just lowered his head, as if he was asleep.

This made him very dissatisfied, but he couldn't talk about Heizi at the moment, so he had to speak loudly and tell loudly how Gongzi fought with the government and traitors wittily and bravely after he was betrayed by a traitor in Yan'an Mansion, and how he saved Wang Heizi in prison regardless of his own danger.

When I heard Sixiao, Hu Hansan and some other people talking about Hu Guang's goodness, as long as they had a conscience, they could generally remember what they had seen about Hu Guang's goodness, and they also said it.

All of a sudden, there was a "buzzing" sound throughout the square. Because of the cold weather, the breath exhaled from the mouth and nose almost enveloped the entire square.

On the side of the stage, Hu Kuan asked Hu Guangdao softly: "Second brother, are you worried?" ”

After all, there is no mountain like Hu Guang, who will really let his subordinates go, and also give money and food.

"What's there to worry about, if those who are not determined want to go, then leave now as soon as possible, this is the most desperate thing. Big brother, you don't know ......" Hu Guang said this, and said a wise saying from later generations, "If you are not afraid of god-like opponents, you are afraid of pig-like teammates." If the people who stay can have one mind, I can save a lot of trouble! ”

It is not unreasonable for Hu Guang to say this. One of the most common means used by the government to deal with the peasant army was to divide and disintegrate, and Zhao'an alone could cause many peasant armies to fall apart.

Although he did not know the specific situation of the peasant army in the late Ming Dynasty, he believed that there must be many people who did not want to be so-called "thieves" and hoped to clear their name.

The conditions that I have now prescribe are estimated to allow some of these people to show up as soon as possible. And only those who are dead to the government can go further on this road. After all, the days ahead will be very difficult and dangerous.

And when Hu Kuan listened to the famous words of his second brother, he recalled his experience in the army and remembered the previous battles with the Mongolian Tatars, and couldn't help but sigh.

When dealing with foreign enemies, I am really not afraid of how powerful the enemy is, but I am afraid that the people on my side will drag behind!

It was almost time for a stick of incense, Hu Guang appeared in the middle of the stands again, carrying a homemade loudspeaker, and said loudly: "The time is almost up, if you want to leave, please come to the open space on the left side of the stage." ”

It turned out that this vacant land was for the people who left, and many people suddenly realized it at this time.

However, no one in the square moved, and many people looked around curiously to see who wanted to pass.

"Don't worry, what I've said is absolutely true. In fact, there has been a precedent before, if you don't know it, you can ask others. On the second day of the Fugu uprising, some people wanted to leave, and I patted my chest to ensure that they received the money and food to leave. ”

Hearing Hu Guang say this, many people thought about it. That time, it seems that Hu Guang also had a conflict with the original leader. According to later gossip, Wang Jiayin, the big leader, was also very dissatisfied with Hu Guang's approach, but Hu Guang still insisted on doing it.

With this precedent in place, someone finally moved. It was a young man from the fence on the right side of the stands, who cowered out, bowed his head, and walked along the front of the stands to the open space on the left.

With him taking the lead, some people followed. Hu Guang on the stage remained silent and didn't say a word, but many people below began to talk about them.

"If it weren't for Brother Hu Guang leading us to win the battle against You Shilu, your life would be gone, would you be embarrassed to leave?"

"I didn't think Zhang San was such an ungrateful person, I misjudged you!"

"Li Si, if you dare to leave, we will break off our friendship in the future!"

“……”

Amid the condemnation, forty or fifty people finally walked out into the clearing. Most of these people are young people, and many of them are from the right side of the fence.
