Chapter 8: The Nineteenth Weapon
Wang Dalun is now busy sweating, and he doesn't know what everyone in the Zhuangzi thinks of him, if he knows Lu Dao, he will probably be speechless, and he will helplessly sigh why it is so difficult to do a good deed this year!
As the day goes west, the afterglow of the sunset begins to sprinkle into the courtyard, only to see the courtyard full of people, everyone gathered together, looking at a few cauldrons, looking at the meat tumbling in the pot, smelling the bursts of aroma emanating from the pot, everyone swallowed their saliva vigorously, completely ignoring the rumbling sound in the stomach from time to time.
Wang Laoyi's family came relatively early and occupied a good seat, next to the cauldron, and the whole family picked up a stone and sat down, with their necks straight, looking at the cauldron with their eyes open, and their mouths kept drooling.
What, you say tables? You're so beautiful, there are only a few tables in the palace, and you poor people want to sit on the table and eat? Blind your dog's eyes!
When the meal was almost ready, Wu Liang came out and said to everyone: "Everyone, please be quiet, be quiet!" Has every tenant arrived? Please come in from everyone who can be the master, my young master has something to explain! โ
Everyone looks at me, I look at you, they all seem very hesitant, and after the last one someone steps in, everyone sees that someone takes the lead, and they also follow in one after another.
When I entered the palace, I saw seven tables in the hall and courtyard, and after Wu Liang arranged to sit down, I saw Wang Dalun slowly walking into the main hall.
Wang Dalun saw that everyone was at the table, and motioned to the subordinate standing next to him to pour wine, and after pouring wine in the cup in front of everyone, Wang Dalun raised his glass and said: "Everyone, everyone is welcome to be invited to eat my meal, I propose, everyone come and have a toast first!" โ
As soon as he heard Wang Dalun's proposal, the long-term workers and nurses seated in the hall immediately stood up and raised their wine glasses. Seeing this, the representative of the tenants in the courtyard also quickly stood up and raised his wine glass.
After Wang Dalun and everyone drank a glass of wine, Wang Dalun motioned to his subordinates to add wine, raised his glass and said: "Everyone may be more confused why I invited everyone to dinner, I don't know how to think I am crazy, but I want to tell you that I am not crazy!" Because now we are facing a difficulty, if not solved well. Then I can tell all of you that this is probably the last meal we can have a full meal! โ
Wang Dalun paused, and then said: "Some people may guess what I said. Yes, it's water! Now the seeds are almost sown, but where is our water? were all intercepted by Zhao Jiazhuang Zhao Zhigao, a bastard! If there is no water, how can the seeds be sown, and can the crops survive? What do we eat? โ
"Some people may say, the land belongs to your Wang Dalun, why am I worried about this, anyway, it's your Wang Dalun's business! It's a big deal not to plant your land, and who will not plant it. Wang Dalun said some of the tenants' hearts.
"But have you ever thought about it, it's so bad to be old now? Who dares to guarantee that you will be able to pay enough food? Yes, this year's annual success is not good, and it is easy for everyone to find land rent, but who dares to guarantee that they will be able to pay enough rent this year? โ
Wang Dalun looked at everyone's expressions, and then said: "Some people think again, I can't pay enough rent for farming, it's a big deal if I don't plant, and the whole family will go to escape the famine!" But I want to ask everyone, is it easy to escape from the famine? And even if you don't owe debt, can you guarantee that your whole family will survive until the next year? โ
Wang Dalun saw that everyone showed a thoughtful look, and then said: "I will make an agreement with everyone, as long as everyone works together, I only need forty percent of the last rent!" โ
Forty percent? The tenants were surprised when they heard this, and although there was only one percent difference between forty percent and fifty percent, it was almost two buckets less than two buckets of land per acre.
Just when the tenants were secretly happy, Wang Dalun spoke: "Of course, there is no free lunch in the world, tomorrow I will go to reason with Zhao Zhigao, and each of you must send a strong laborer to follow." โ
"Owner! Does everyone have to go? Wang Lao asked from the side.
"Of course!" Wu Liang said on the side, then turned to Wang Dalun and said, "Young Master, you see Wang Lao cowardly ยทยทยทยทยทยท like this."
"Well, Wang Lao doesn't have to go, since you are sick, take care of your illness!"
"By the way, those who come tomorrow will come with hoes. Steward Wu, you go to find thirty articles, I will be useful. Wang Dalun commanded.
When everyone was full of food and drink, Wang Dalun called the long-term workers and nurses at home and said: "If everyone is ready, help clean up, and then go outside the yard." โ
When everyone came to the courtyard, they saw thirty articles lying there quietly, Wang Dalun picked up one, weighed it, and felt that it was quite competent, so he smiled and said to everyone: "Everyone find a suitable one, and then we will practice together, and tomorrow and Zhao Zhigao's theory will rely on it." โ
Li Laifu heard this, and said in surprise: "Young master, just our little people?" It's just a burden, so why don't you prepare some sticks for us? โ
"That's right! The main force in the fight was just a few of us. As for weapons, if you can't do it with sticks, you will die, or use a burden. Don't underestimate the burden, it's better to use it than a stick. Wang Dalun said.
"Young master, there are too few of us here, don't forget that there were so many of us yesterday, and there are at least more than a hundred people on the other side." Zhao San also said on the side.
"Hehe, I know it! Do you remember the bald-tailed chicken? Do you want to know what kind of bald-tailed chicken is so powerful all of a sudden? The reason is very simple, I gave it a strong pill, and everyone knows the effect. Hehe, you said that with this thing, you can't beat ten people alone? โ
Everyone was silent, secretly conspiring that this matter was unreliable.
"What? Scared? Aren't you guys as good as a bald-tailed chicken? If you look at the bald-tailed chicken, it's a dozen or twenty. Wang Dalun said to them.
"Who's afraid? Young Master, as long as you can guarantee that our medicine can be as effective as this bald-tailed chicken, what is Zhao Zhigao's little person! Li Fulai, the second pole, jumped out first and said.
"That's it, as long as you take us there, young master, we will do whatever you do." Zhao San, a yin man, also spoke, he didn't worry about the medicine, so he wanted Wang Dalun to take it too, and go with him.
"Don't worry, I'll definitely go! I haven't avenged the revenge last time, so I have to settle accounts with Zhao Zhigao. Wang Dalun said.
"Okay, if you have a young master, we will rest assured, just go, and beat them to death Zhaojiazhuang." Everyone expressed their opinions.
"Okay, now let's practice, the other side has a border army, if you don't practice well, how can you win." Wang Dalun greeted.
"Young master, I'm going to fight tomorrow, and I'm only practicing now, can I have time? Besides, young master, when did you learn it, are you reliable? Everyone expressed doubts about Wang Dalun's behavior of grinding guns in battle.
"Well, don't be so suspicious, I've heard others use it like this, and more than 20 of them have won more than 50 of them."
"Who has used it, why haven't we heard of it?" Everyone asked.
Wang Dalun said in his heart, of course you haven't heard of it, I heard from the old people in the village when I was teaching in later generations.
"Alright, alright. Don't ask, everyone, let's listen to the young master, as the old saying goes, 'grinding the gun in battle, not bright, but also light', which is somewhat useful. Wu Liang persuaded on the side.
When everyone heard Wu Liang's words, they felt that it made sense, so they stopped talking, looked at Wang Dalun, and waited for him to speak.
Wang Dalun saw that everyone was looking at him, and he also said: "It's actually very simple, everyone stands in a row, and the movements are as consistent as possible, the other party is not all border troops, and the fight will not advance and retreat together, some people move faster, some people move slowly, so that we always have a few people to beat him one, do you say you can't win?" โ
When everyone heard this, they felt that it was very reasonable, so they also practiced under the guidance of Wang Dalun.
But it turns out that the requirement of consistent action sounds simple, but it is difficult to do it well, and there are often people who either move fast or slow. Wang Dalun had to call a pause to correct it. But after practicing for a while, Wang Dalun found that there were still problems, and in desperation, he had to use the set of military training instructors in later generations. First, the slow-motion decomposition corrected some people's output posture, and then the command was used to command, and finally let everyone do the two actions of splitting and sweeping neatly.
Wang Dalun watched with satisfaction as all the family members made various actions under the command of the password, and felt a little proud in his heart, thinking that we still have a set of training, and the famous generals of the ancient times were just like this.
Thinking of the famous general, Wang Dalun felt as if he had forgotten something, and tried to recall, and after a while, Wang Dalun slapped his thigh: "Damn, how could you forget to move forward." โ
So Wang Dalun hurriedly stopped everyone's performance on the spot and told them the new requirements, and when everyone heard Wang Dalun's new requirements, they didn't think it was too difficult, so they moved forward while splitting under Wang Dalun's password. But as soon as the forward action came out, the whole formation was chaotic again, some people took a big step, some people took a small step, and the whole team's movements were chaotic.
When Wang Dalun saw it, he hurriedly shouted to stop, and then decomposed the movements, carefully telling everyone which leg to take and how big it should be. After everyone understood, Wang Dalun shouted the slow-motion decomposition password, and everyone slowly did a decent job under the decomposition of the password.
Wang Dalun saw that everyone was doing the same, so he connected the actions and shouted, but Wang Dalun was disappointed, and everyone's actions were still messy. Wang Dalun didn't give up, corrected it again, and then shouted the password again, but what made Wang Dalun cry and laugh was that everyone still couldn't tell the difference between left and right, and the slow motion was almost the same, but as soon as the action was fast, everyone still came according to their own habits.
Wang Dalun shouted until his throat was smoking, and everyone's movements were still messy, and after an hour, everyone felt very tired and said that they didn't want to practice anymore.
Wang Dalun is also helpless, it's not too early, and it doesn't seem to be easy for everyone to distinguish between the left and right feet. Not to mention the illiterate peasants in ancient times, Wang Dalun himself would make mistakes for more than a week during military training, and he was often sprayed by instructors.
When Wang Dalun thought of this, he also felt in no mood, and with a wave of his hand, he notified them to go home. So far, it can only be done to this extent, and as for the effect, we can only hope for strong stimulants.
