Chapter 17: This Is Destiny!
Ideal, to get the future generations is also a very vague proposition, in today's era of human life like mustard, it is an empty word, far less than a nest head a bowl of rice from the truth. Wang Erscar, who is nearly forty years old, feels that the big boss in front of him is still a little taken for granted.
However, thinking of the other party's current age, it is normal to have such naΓ―ve thoughts. Young people, who doesn't have a little idealism?
Xu Bin, who didn't know that he was seen as a dreaming boy, looked at Wang Erscar, who had a calm face, and continued: "Then you haven't thought that one day in the future, you will be able to marry a daughter-in-law, have a few children, plant a few acres of land, and live a life of hot kang with your wife and children?" Are you really willing to hide in this mountain all your life, in front of the bandits hated by the common people and the officials and soldiers outside the mountain?
As you said just now, you have been a bandit for more than 20 years since you went up the mountain, and how many more years do you think you can be a bandit at your age? When you're old and can't run anymore, where do you go? β
Realistic and cruel questions were thrown out one after another, and Wang Erscar finally said with some anger: "Do you think I want to be a bandit?" I also want to marry a wife and have a few babies, but this world can't live at all. Before I went up the mountain, my family originally had a few acres of land, but they were forcibly seized by those landlords and the government, what can I do as a small ordinary person?
It's a shame to be a bandit, but at least you can survive, and as for what to do when you're old, that's what I want to do in the future. Maybe that day I will die in this mountain like the other bandits, and then I will be clean and white, and I won't have to worry about anything. Isn't that also possible?
Besides, didn't the big boss himself grow up in a bandit's den, don't you know this kind of thing, why do you use these words to provoke my old king? β
The more he talked, the more excited Wang Erscar became, he couldn't suppress the resentment in his heart, and he also sarcastically mocked Xu Bin a little. Compared with himself, an old bandit who has been a bandit for many years, Xu Bin, the former young master of Heifeng Village, is no better. After all, Xu Bin grew up in the bandit's den, and he really didn't have the qualifications to talk about bandits like this in front of him.
Xu Bin was not angry at Wang Sanscar, who finally became excited and sarcastically mocked him, but smiled and said: "Yes, it seems that your Wang Erscar still wants to ask his daughter-in-law to have a baby!" I thought you were really willing to be a bandit for the rest of your life?
As long as you want to live a good life, then follow me without fear of no chance. In addition, you are right, I did grow up in a bandit den until now, so I understand more that being a bandit is not a good way out.
Why should those corrupt officials and corrupt officials who oppress the people at the foot of the mountain have to hide in this mountain and eat porridge every day? Could it really be that they are better than us, I can't see it?
The key is that we dare to think, dare to fight, dare to rob, isn't this the law we have always followed as bandits? But weishenme snatched and robbed, until now we still live such a poor life?
I think it's all because our previous thinking was too simple, and we always felt that being able to eat a full meal was to live a good life. I never thought that if we worked harder, we might be able to go down the mountain and live in a big house in the city, and we could also ask for a daughter-in-law to inherit the family. When you go out on the street, you don't have to worry about other people's eyes and fingers.
I called you out tonight just to ask you, will you follow me to pursue such a life? Will we overthrow the unscrupulous government that caused us to hide in the mountains and become bandits? β
Listening to Xu Bin's excited narration, Wang Sansa admitted that it was indeed very attractive, but thinking of the strength of the official army outside the mountain, he lowered his head and shook his head honestly and said: "I can't do the rebellion!" β
Rebel!
These two words are Wang Erscar's definition of what he said just now, Xu Bin said with a smile: "Wang Erscar, you tell me, who is in charge of the house now?" Who do they have to think that he is superior to us? What are we making again? β
Let Xu Bin ask like this, Wang Erscar also felt a little confused. Now it is a democratic period, not the era of the rule of the Longhua Empire, and even the county magistrate under the mountain is changed every three days. The reason why they were able to become county magistrates is indeed not that the national government officially accepted their fate, and many of them spent money to buy the position of county magistrate by relying on their connections. To put it bluntly, the word rebellion is really wrong.
Looking at Wang Erscar, who couldn't answer the squeaky whine, Xu Bin didn't force the other party too much, and said directly: "I can tell you that after my father is buried this time, Heifeng Village will also be under my command." In the future, Black Wind Village will no longer rob houses, and I will not let Black Wind Village have the infamy of bandit cottages on its head again.
I will reorganize and train, a Xu family army that truly belongs to my command Xu Bin, and carry out stricter and more brutal militarized training than the official army under the mountain. As long as we have guns and people have the strength, why can't we drive away those corrupt officials and corrupt officials under the mountain? They can sit on the Taishi's chair and oppress us at will, aren't they just relying on the barrel of a gun to be more than us and harder than us?
If we can surpass them, why should we endure their oppression? At least I think that after this orange city is in charge of us, the life of the common people must be better than living under the rule of those who spend money to buy officials.
Because we at least know that it is not easy for the people of ten miles and eight towns to live. Even if you don't do something practical for your own future, isn't it something that a dignified seven-foot man should do?
Your performance last night proved that you are still a person with a bit of a brain, and I don't want to give up a talent like you in vain. In my opinion, it's a pity that you are a bandit, and your Wang Erscar is no worse than those fat-headed pig-brained officials in the city.
I now sincerely invite you to join the Xu Jiajun that I am about to form, and we will work together to fight a piece of the world. There's an old saying that doesn't say, 'The king is a general, and he would rather have a kind?' ', is it possible that you, Wang Erscar, are willing to be a hated bandit, and you can't be a good person or even a good official who is loved? β
Wang Erscar listened to Xu Bin's temptation, and said with a wry smile: "Thank you for the appreciation of the big boss, I, Wang Erscar, know how many catties and taels I have." I admit that the big boss said that the future is very good, but I can't imagine such a day.
I can only tell the big boss, no matter what great achievements you will make in the future, as long as you don't dislike Wang Erscar's old age and uselessness, I will follow the big boss for the rest of my life, and I will never give up for you. If I break my oath today, I will not be able to live forever. β
Looking at his bitter flickering, in the end, Wang Erscar agreed to follow him and made an oath. But Xu Bin always felt a little disappointed, because the guy in front of him lacked revolutionary or rebellious passion.
Fortunately, Xu Bin also knows that with the current strength of Heifeng Village, self-protection in this mountain is slightly insufficient, and if he goes to the city to be the master of the house, he really can't make a few people believe it.
The meal has to be eaten in one bite, at least the bold and careful Wang Erscar in front of him is still under his umbrella. As long as he sees that his ideals have a chance to be realized in the future, he believes that Wang Erscar will change his mind today. Xu Bin is full of confidence in this!
Next, Xu Bin did not talk about his plans for the future, but discussed with Wang Erscar about the bandits who had taken over the incense burner peak. With Wang Erscar's introduction, Xu Bin was able to drive away the bandits who hated Heifeng Village or find a reason to solve it. In the end, he can be co-opted, even if he refuses to follow him sincerely for the time being, at least he will not add chaos to the management of the cottage.
Give yourself some time and train an elite Xu Jiajun who can win the official army, Xu Bin believes that his future is still infinitely bright.
That night, Wang Erscar left the cell with envy, jealousy and hatred in the eyes of the other incense burner peak bandits, and lived in a room specially arranged for him by Xu Bin. Because Wang Erscar is about to become the backbone of the Xu family's army in the future, like Li Chengbing, this treatment is naturally better than others.
As for this arrangement, it will attract the jealousy of the old people in Heifeng Village, so in Xu Bin's view, 'not attracting jealousy is mediocrity'. He felt that Wang Erscar deserved this treatment, so he would give the other party this treatment of living in a single room.
Similarly, if other people can be as trustworthy as Wang Sanscar or Li Chengbing, he doesn't mind arranging a single room for the other party. But the point is, now he can't see that there is anyone in this cottage who is as trustworthy as the two of them.
Wang Erscar didn't say much about the special treatment Xu Bin gave him, anyway, he also enjoyed the treatment of a single room when he was in the incense burner peak, and he didn't think it was a big deal to live alone here.
Moreover, he is a newcomer, living with the old man will inevitably lead to quarrels, with the mentality that more things are better than less, Wang Erscar still moved into a house closer to Xu Bin in a very low-key manner.
When the cottage convened a morning meeting the next day, Xu Bin also deliberately brought Wang Erscar with him, and announced on the spot that Wang Erscar had joined Heifeng Village and became one of the big leaders in the cottage. Of course, the bandits under his command will be selected from the bandits of the incense burner peak who have been recruited. In this regard, the old leaders of the cottage who were already worried about Xu Bin's settlement after the autumn were not good at objecting to anything.
But these old leaders all know in their hearts that this Wang Erscar will be trusted by this young boss as soon as he takes refuge, and his status in the cottage in the future is only higher than that of these old men!
That's fate! Who told them to do that to the new boss the night before?
Now people show you faces, and you have to endure it if you don't accept it. In the cottage, Xu Bin has the power to decide their life and death, and if they want to continue to live, they must follow Xu Bin's orders. In addition, for these old bandits, who are not too old, there is really no other way out.
