Chapter Sixty-Eight: Generosity
Wang Fu'er grinned, hesitated for a moment, then nodded slightly, turned to the prisoners on foot and said, "Listen, everyone, I'll sing it again, and you will sing it along." When I get in front of His Royal Highness, if I don't sing well, maybe I will be driven back to continue to serve hard labor, and I will eat melons and falls. ”
"You teach, we must study hard, and we will never affect you." Sun Sishun was grateful and hurriedly replied.
"I will never bother you, we must study hard to satisfy His Highness." The rest chimed in.
Wang Fu'er cleared her throat, took out a newly-made bong from her horse bag, and sang loudly as she knocked it, and the agitated and tragic tone resounded on the dusty road.
"The two wolf mountains fight Hu'er, the sky shakes and the earth moves, the sky shakes the earth and moves! A good man is for the country, why is he afraid of death and life, and he is afraid of death and life! Good kill! Yes! Belligerent too! Since ancient times, he has been loyal to thousands of people, protecting the rivers and mountains for the country and the people. Mr. Su Wu is a Han, and he is even stronger. He was imprisoned in Fanbang for 19 years, and he was not demoted to a high-ranking official. Loyal ministers and righteous men are not afraid of death, and even death is fragrant...... greedy for wealth and wealth to be a slave dog, betraying the country and killing compatriots to lose conscience. The money rat tail is charming, and it is really the heart of a human-faced beast. Deceive the heavens and betray the ancestors to destroy the conscience, and be disloyal and unfilial to bury others. There is no burial place in another country, and the lonely ghosts are miserable and desolate. The relatives at home leaned on the door and looked back, and they were sad to be slaves and maids......"
Wang Dou has a good memory, and he sings very emotionally, and his characteristic bitter tone expresses his feelings of grief and indignation, hatred, nostalgia, and desolation, and there is even a flash of crystal light in his eyes, which may be thinking of his relatives at home.
The first two sentences are the lyrics of Yang Jiye, who is very famous in Bangzi cavity, "Two Wolf Mountain", and the latter was changed by Zhu Yongxing to directly denounce the current generation of tigers. There are both scolding and admonishment, and the most important thing is to confuse each other with family affection, which makes these descendants of the old Qin army who left their hometown to fight in the south of the country have to be sad and emotional.
When I heard that "there is no burial place in another country, the lonely soul and wild ghost are miserable and desolate." Fathers, old wives, and children leaned on the door to look at the door, and they were sad to be slaves and maids again", many prisoners of war felt the same way, and couldn't help but burst into tears and sobbed repeatedly.
After Wang Dou finished singing, he secretly wiped his eyes, for some reason, every time he sang it, he couldn't help but cry, he was afraid that the official would reprimand.
"Okay, good singing." Ming Jun Xiaoqi suddenly slapped his face and said loudly: "You repent now, and you don't lose the face of the old Qin army." The Han people killed the Han people, and let Hu Er watch and laugh on the side, I really don't know what you think? Is it just for a few bites? That Daniel Zhang is not a thing, for his own glory and wealth, he brought you out of his hometown, but he wants to make you a ghost in a foreign land, or a lonely ghost. Maybe it will be eaten by wolves and dogs, and it will be difficult to even enter the soil for safety. ”
"Adults have to teach you a lesson." Wang Dou complimented.
"Don't scream as an adult." Ming Jun Xiaoqi smiled, waved his hand, and said, "Do a good job in the future, it's right to follow His Highness." You don't know the way, but Your Highness has been taught by God......"

There is no savior in this world, but people always hope for a savior. Just like when the weak people are oppressed, they hope to save themselves for the knights of the Heavenly Way.
Zhu Yongxing felt that he did not have the magical powers of a savior, but he did not want to shatter the hope of many people's lives, but did his best to give others more and greater hope. It is in this era when ordinary soldiers are regarded as mustards, and he is gradually changing this unfair reality.
The soldiers will be re-registered, and they will be asked to leave the names and addresses of their loved ones, and the bereavement benefits of the war dead will be returned to their relatives at a later date, and their relatives will also enjoy tax exemption and rent-free treatment for military dependents. Of course, this is a painting cake at the moment, but it is better to do it than not to do it, and it will always make the soldiers feel different from before. As for the construction of the martyrs' cemetery so that the war dead can leave their names forever, it is one of the things that Zhu Yongxing solemnly decreed to the whole army.
There is support for the living, there is a pension for the dead, and the family must also free them from hunger and cold. Zhu Yongxing is gradually refining and fixing the treatment of wounded and disabled soldiers, the war dead, and their families, and is gradually making them realize.
Soldiers are humble, but they are the founders of victory. And they should know why they are fighting and what they have gained, not brainless and thoughtless machines that will only follow their superiors. If such a bad habit is not eradicated, Zhu Yongxing will not go far. Victory is certainly an encouragement, but once defeated, even a small defeat, will cause the morale of the army to waver, and the soldiers will be separated, which is by no means what he wants to see.
Of course, this is not something that can be completely changed in a short period of time, and Zhu Yongxing knows this. Therefore, the battle in front of him was very important to him, and it was not until the rain fell on his head that he could breathe a sigh of relief.
According to the pattern of previous years, the rainy season should have come a long time ago, and although it is a little late, it is still in time. Zhu Yongxing and the Ming army have defended and retreated in the past ten days, and have retreated to the most expected rear line of defense - Nanzhai Mansion.
The Nansai Mansion is named after the ancient Zhai Gong (Taoist priest) who built a house here to rescue pedestrians and is located in the south of the Hokusai Mansion, with an altitude of about 3,400 meters, and it is a natural danger pass from Yunlong or Baoshan to Tengchong Ancient Road to climb Gaoligong Mountain in ancient times. Yakou crosses the main vein of Gaoligong Mountain in the west-east direction, the dangerous rocks at both ends are towering, the thousand-year-old road twists and turns between the cliffs, the danger is full of dangers, there is indeed the trend of "one husband is the pass, ten thousand people are not open".
There were trenches, deer barricades, wooden fences, shelters and caves for resting, there were enough firewood and grain, and there were a lot of oilcloth and clothes, and the number of Ming troops also increased a lot after the contraction, all of which brought confidence to Zhu Yongxing to stick to this place.
The rainy season, hehe, the kind of "three days without three sunny days" experienced by the Qing army in Guizhou is nothing, the rainy season in the subtropical jungle and mountains, and it is a high altitude, it can be called terrible. Yes, it's scary. Daniel Zhang, line Guoan, take your soldiers and enjoy it in the mountains!
A dazzling flash of light darkened the eyes, followed by a deafening roar that crashed between the mountains, shaking the heavens and the earth, and the light rain turned into a heavy downpour in an instant. The thunderbolt flashed a few crack-like electric lights in the black sky, illuminating the mountains and fields for a moment, and also illuminating Zhu Yongxing's face with a sneering smile.
Leeches that lie dormant in the dry season, climb out quickly, in previous years there were not too many mammals for you to suck blood, and now there are thousands of Qing troops gathered on those originally deserted ancient roads. For the drought leeches that are already waiting to be fed and struggling to survive, it is really a godsend for them to breed on a large scale, because the food that cannot be eaten is being delivered to your mouths in a queue.
Rain, go down to your heart's content, and make this beautiful "royal garden" colder than the Yama Palace, and make those Qing soldiers shiver and freeze to death!
