The training of the troops is becoming more and more formal, but Long Qian always feels that something very important is missing. This thing is the military flag and the military song.

If an army wants to have its own military soul, it will never work without a military flag and a military song. Long Qian had long wanted to play his own military flag and sing his own military song for the Mengshan Army, but he took into account the overall strategy he had formulated and never implemented it. Every time the whole army gathered, watching the troops take the company as a unit, shouting the number of one, two, three, four, and standing in a square formation of "tofu blocks", Long Qian had the desire to command the troops to sing a passionate and generous military song.

But neither the military flag nor the military song is a simple matter. What era is this? The Manchu court has no other skills, and the work of engaging in ** is probably the first in history. Wenxin Zhouna, there will always be people with ulterior motives to do boring articles.

After thinking about it, Long Qian was ruthless, fuck it, let's get it up first. Whether his own Laoshzi plan can be successful, the ghost knows the way. Let's do the current thing.

The military flag is based on red, and there are three large characters written on it - Mengshan Army. Long Qian specified the size and background color of the military flag, asked Ning Shijun to write it, handed it to Sun Juan, and asked her to try to embroider it.

The red cloth was not easy to find, and in the end what he found was a faded red cloth, the size was smaller than Long Qian had thought, so it had to be like this. Several female soldiers acted vigorously and immediately, working overtime to embroider the military flag.

The military song written by Long Qian is like this: the majestic mountains are high, and the blood stains the military flag red. The people are my own parents, and I am the soldiers of the people. Fight against foreign aggression and go to the battlefield to defend the country. We are the armed forces of the state, we are the armed forces of the nation, from fearless, never yielding, until the enemy is wiped out, and the bright red military flag is flying high! Fly high!

Long Qian wrote the lyrics out to show Xiucai Ning Shijun, and shook his head when he saw him.

"If you have any opinions, just say them."

"Let's not talk about the rhythm first, the blood-stained battle flag is red, how can it be flying high against the top? It doesn't rhyme. This is still secondary, the key is that when such a song is sung, it is an open rebellion! ”

"Why is it a rebellion? Which sentence says rebellion? Long Qian was not convinced.

"You see, the people are my own parents, and I am the soldiers of the people! The army belongs to the imperial court and the emperor, so what does it matter to the people? Also, we are the armed forces of the state, and we are the armed forces of the nation...... It sounds quite exciting, which people's armament? Han or Manchu? What is this not a rebellion? ”

The difference between Manchu and Han...... Don't say it, it's really problematic, "Hey, you kid really drank some ink, if you are asked to solve the case, you can pick out the bones in the egg......"

"Commander, I heard you sing quite vigorously just now, can you sing it again?"

"What, you still know music?"

"Happiness is born from the heart, and everyone understands it. Can't make music or listen to it? ”

"Okay then." Long Qian tore open his throat and sang the military song in his mind loudly.

"It's a good song, it looks like it's written for soldiers! That's the lyrics, I don't think it works. ”

"Then, then you kid will write one for us."

"I think, let's just sing Zeng Hou's 'Love Folk Song', this thing won't cause controversy. I pondered that the commander was unwilling to educate the soldiers in allegiance to the imperial court, and he was unwilling to openly raise the banner of rebellion. Am I right? ”

Long Qian sneered, "Is such a court worthy of allegiance?" Years of floods and droughts, the people are worse than dead, let's say that last year, in our Shandong province, how many people starved to death due to the drought! What about the Yellow River, three years at both ends, Shandong is the province with the most disaster, what about the government? What have you done for the people? It is known that the road collects taxes. ”

"Of course the government has to collect taxes...... The imperial grain and national tax are a matter of course. But what you said is also true, I'm really afraid that it is the last years of the world, and the people have suffered disasters year after year, and the lives of the people are indeed very sad. ”

"Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many people going up the mountain to be bandits! Shi Jun, about the affairs of the imperial court, we have time to discuss. Back to the point, you are right about one thing, we can't openly raise the banner of rebellion, not to mention whether the brothers will follow me, I also have to think about the brothers. You're right, you don't rebel openly, you can't instill in the soldiers the idea of loyalty, is it worth the loyalty of everyone to such an incompetent court? . ”

"I don't know where you want to take everyone." Ning Shijun groaned, "But I know that although the cottage is currently very strong, if you follow you to rebel openly, I'm afraid it would be good to leave half of the people." It's one thing to not be able to survive and hide in the mountains, and it's another thing to pull the flag and rebel. ”

"What about you? Do you want to do it with me? Long Qian said with a smile.

"It's up to you to take me for what you do." Ning Shijun had more contact with Long Qian after serving as a literacy teacher, and he was one of the few people who had a good grasp of Long Qian's thoughts, "If you take me to make a name for yourself, of course I will do it with you." It's like gambling, everyone goes on with the intention of winning. If I'm destined to lose, I won't do it. ”

"Well said. That's the reason. Long Qian nodded, "Then what kind of result can satisfy you?" ”

"Hehe, Commander, you are very high-spirited, just because you don't touch those women, you can see it. I know that if you give a hint, those women will willingly lie down in your room. So, I said, don't laugh at me. ”

"I don't laugh at you. As you know, lately I've been learning what the soldiers are thinking. Just tell me, let me hear what is the life goal of our Mengshan Army's great showman? ”

"A goal in life? Simple, just four words, promotion and fortune. Actually, it doesn't take more than four words, two are enough. ”

"Promotion. Right? ”

"That's right. With an official position, there will naturally be no shortage of money. ”

"Very real thoughts. Yes, with different backgrounds, naturally different ideas, most soldiers do not want to be officials, but think that one day they can buy 20 acres of good land, marry a daughter-in-law, and give birth to a bunch of dolls. However, if you stay in the cottage, how can you become an official? ”

"The commander tells the story really well, since ancient times, officials have taken two paths, the first one doesn't work, let's take the second one."

"So you firmly disagree with the military song I wrote, do you?"

"Other than that. I think that if we train so hard, we will never be satisfied with occupying Mengshan like the Sun Dewang brothers, and it is not wise to attract the attention of the imperial court. ”

"Cheng, it seems that you, the chief of staff, are still thinking about some issues. Not bad. So, according to your knowledge, write a military song! If you want everyone to sing, don't underestimate the role of this thing. As for the military flag, that's it! Sooner or later, it will be fought out and the banner will play a role in rallying the morale of the army. Don't look at Sun Juan, the flag they embroider now is inconspicuous, maybe it will still be a cultural relic. Ha Lu Ha. ”

Since he can be admitted to Xiucai, of course, he has read a belly of the subset of classics and history, and he can also read a few sentences of poetry. When Ning Shijun wrote the so-called military song, he made a difficulty.

First of all, he silently wrote a few sentences of Zeng Guofan's "Love Folk Song": The soldiers of the three armies listened carefully, and the marching army first loved the people__ stopped writing a few sentences, first, I couldn't remember everything, and secondly, I felt that it was not so timely. Soldiers of the three armies? A few hundred people, can they be worthy of the soldiers of the three armed forces? Besides, how can it be so easy to love the people? Zeng Hou could still set up a card to collect money back then, and our hundreds of mouths all had to live by robbery, and the affairs of Maoyang Town were the first and the second.

Simply, Ning Shijun rubbed off the "Love Folk Song" that he had written more than a dozen lines. Disturbed, Ning Shijun walked out of the Guangming Temple and walked around, the mountain was green, unknown wildflowers bloomed everywhere, and two unnamed birds on the branches were communicating bird language carefree. Ning Shijun suddenly felt that human beings might be the most bitter creatures, because they had more spirituality than birds and beasts, and they also had more troubles__

Long Qian has big plans. Heroes come out of troubled times, honestly! If it weren't for Hong Yang's rebellion, Zeng Zuo and other Zhongxing ministers might not be able to leave their names in Qing history, right? Only a few decades later, the world will be in chaos again, and unlike in the past, foreigners are deeply involved, forcing Chinese to think about the nation and the state, which never seemed to be considered before.

Long Qian's anti-Manchurian tendency is very obvious. There is no doubt about it. Those mud legs who can't read two baskets of words don't know, but they know it very well. Since his uncle's accident, the whole family has been implicated, and his road to fame has been cut off. Therefore, he had no loyalty to this Manchu court. Long Qian repeatedly described the brutality and incompetence of the Manchu court, indicating that he was rebellious. But this guy is really not ordinary, not only has a good body to learn, but it is rare to be calm-headed and know how to advance and retreat. I really want to follow this guy to see the future, there is really such a beautiful world as he said? Ning Shijun wandered around aimlessly, his mind returned to the "creation" task given by Long Qian, and suddenly he had an inspiration, ran back to his room, and swiped it:

"The spring breeze is ten miles of apricot flowers, and the compatriots are He Angzang. The crown sword shines on the clouds, and the fathers and elders wait and see the clear light. I advise you to please be early and life is only good for the army. How is the joy of serving in the army, and the good news is spread in the fine willow camp. ”

Ning Shijun thinks it's good, like a military song.

"Well, that's good. Anyone can sing this song, and it doesn't have any political leanings. Long Qian groaned a few times, picked up his pencil, and wanted to change a few words on Ning Shijun's manuscript, "Change the last two sentences, Xiliuying?" How many people understand what Hosoyanagi Camp means? 'Fight against foreign aggression on the battlefield, protect the family and defend the country, and spread good news. Well, that's it. ”

Ning Shijun felt that Long Qian's changes had ruined the style of the original manuscript, "Fight against foreign insults? Don't we shoot at the Chinese? We can do it if we don't fight the official army, but if the official army doesn't fight us, we can say that it doesn't count. ”

"Those are two different things. The mission of the army is not outside, and this kind of education should be done as early as possible. Long Qian smiled and shook the piece of paper with the lyrics written, "Okay, it's worthy of being a talented man, I'll give you a credit." When our Mengshan Army becomes the climate, you can blow it, and the military songs are all written by my Lao Ning. ”

"Hehe, I'll wait for the day."

"Yes! Don't worry, as long as we work together. ”

"Where's the tune? I can't do that. ”

"I'll do this!"

Long Qian quickly made a tune, and it was still the same as the previous one, Ning Shijun felt that his lyrics were not worthy of an impassioned tune!

The military song was sung like this. Before the three meals a day, they must line up and sing military songs. Of course, Long Qian explained the meaning of the song to everyone sentence by sentence, and those soldiers who didn't have much brains didn't care about the meaning of the song, but just felt that the song was quite exciting.
