Chapter 0535: The People

The mood is different, and seeing the same thing is a different feeling.

Lu Sun and the others came to the capital with full of enthusiasm, and they didn't like anything from the beginning, and now they are puzzled by what they see. After a tiring day on the construction site, they dragged their tired bodies back to the temple, washed and went to bed. Because the temple is small, they can only live on the same kang, and they are obviously very tired after lying down, but they don't want to sleep.

In the middle of the night, the 'revolutionary army' suddenly mobilized, and Yang Jian and others were so frightened that they wanted to flee. Lu Sun and the others hurriedly got up to find out, and soon learned that there was news that the Jiannu Detention Pass had reached outside Shanhaiguan, and the 'revolutionary army' was urgently mobilizing militia and migrant workers to go to the front.

Not long after the land of Gyeonggi was occupied, the mass base was not good. There is no militia or anything, but some migrant workers can be drawn. The people who come to recruit are also people from the civil affairs department, and they adopt the principle of voluntariness and give high-paid hired labor. The residents of the neighborhood cried in the middle of the night, completely frightened by the sudden news, and there were really not many who were willing to take the initiative to apply.

It didn't take long for the commotion to be quiet.

Lu Sun and the others leaned on the wall and listened for a while, and then found that every household had turned off the lights one after another. Yang Jian also emerged from the temple wall and said with a sneer: "The surnamed Zhou wants to trick some foolish men and fools to send them to death." It's good that these fools don't pay any attention to him now. It's ridiculous that he usually tries his best to please these poor ghosts, but now it's all in vain. These poor ghosts are slaves, and they consider themselves whips. ”

Lu Sun and the others turned their heads to look at Yang Jian at the same time, only to feel that the face of this peer was extremely strange and even ugly. But Liu Fucheng and Zhang Rushen were both excited when they learned of this: "The Jianzhou army is here, and the day of the destruction of this 'revolutionary army' has come, and we will finally have a day to come out." ”

Lu Juren frowned, and said in a deep voice: "The alien race outside the gate is about to come in, why are you so happy?" ”

Liu Fucheng knew that these two young people were only afraid of being a little disgusted, and hurriedly said: "The two junjie are still too young, and they don't know how difficult this world is. Now it is difficult for the Ming gentry to exterminate the thieves, so they can only borrow troops to suppress them.

The Jurchen Dajin Kingdom was originally a subordinate of my Ming Dynasty, and now the slave chief Nurhachi is well aware of the righteousness and is willing to help, which is something that Emperor Taichang recognizes. Those aliens only want some gold and silver women, as long as they can defeat the 'revolutionary army' and restore the emperor to the throne, this is a trivial matter. ”

It's okay not to mention Taichang, but replacing Taichang made Lu Sun and the others feel bad. They all remembered the dead fat man they had seen during the day, and the outfall had nothing to do with him, but now the guy even agreed to borrow troops to suppress him.

Both Lu and Sun are orthodox scholars, and history must be studied. The decline of the Tang Dynasty was a good thing that An Lushan did, and the Ming Dynasty also expelled the Tartars and rebuilt the Han people. How can we forget this lesson from the past?

However, Liu Fucheng and others dug up the mud for a month and dug it too aggrieved, and when they heard the news of the Jianzhou army, it was like the Jiang bandits who stayed on the mainland and danced excitedly when they heard that Wang Shi had come ashore. Zhang Rushen also said proudly: "The two little brothers don't know yet, right? This Yang brother is the person sent by the lord of Dajin to contact, and the master of the family is Sibeile Huang Taiji. ”

Yang Jian hurriedly waved his hand and said that this matter was not worth mentioning, but the expression on his face was very proud. But in the eyes of Lu Sun and the others, isn't it good to be a decent Han person, what is there to be proud of as a fucking slave of yours?

Liu Fucheng confirmed the news of the Jianzhou army, and immediately said happily: "Shanhaiguan is in an emergency, and the capital must be panicked." I should immediately go to the city to contact some people, and wait for the big gold reinforcements to come. ”

"I'll go with Lord Liu." Yang Jian hurriedly said, "It's better for me to come forward in this matter." ”

Zhang Rushen also responded: "Everyone will go through this matter, and Zhang is also willing to serve." ”

The three hardcore traitors said they would leave, and they slipped out of the temple at night. The remaining two Ming angry youths stayed in the night for a long time. Lu Juren was younger, stomped his feet and scolded: "I, Lu Xiangsheng, am both civil and military, and I am arrogant, and now I have no way to serve the country, how can I be with such ugly people?" It's a shame! ”

Sun Juren also hated and scolded: "It's ridiculous that I, Sun Chuanting, came all the way from Shanxi, just thinking about the ability to turn the tide, help Daming, and save my famous religion." But now the Ming Dynasty can't be saved, and he still encounters such traitors who defect to the enemy and betray the country, which is really shameless.

Although the thief was hateful that week, he was still a man of my Han family, and he knew how to sympathize with the people of my Han family. My Han people are infighting, and whoever the country falls into can be. But if the Jurchen barbarian comes, wouldn't it be another cliff and mountain difficulty, and my Central Plains will be full of fishy flesh, and this matter will never work. ”

Lu Sun and the others were in a bad mood, they originally thought that they had met like-minded righteous people, but whoever thought about it was a jackal who brought disaster to the country and the people. This situation made them jump to their feet in anger and shame.

"I'm not going to mess with these traitors anymore." As soon as Lu Xiangsheng turned around, he went back to the house to get his luggage. Sun Chuanting couldn't stay either, he didn't even want luggage, and followed Lu Xiangsheng out of the temple gate. The presiding officer of the temple tried to stop them, and was beaten violently.

It's just that when I go out, it's still dark. The two were indignant but had nowhere to go, so they could only find an inn to settle in. But they still can't sleep when they have a place to live, especially when they feel that they have been messing around with those three scumbags for a few days, calling them brothers, which is a huge stain on their lives.

It didn't take long for the sky to brighten.

The residents of the city got up early to make a living, and Lu Sun and the others didn't sleep all night, so they went out of the house to buy some breakfast. The owner of the inn saw that they were scholars, and after greeting them a few times, he smiled and said: "There was a commotion in the city last night, and the two guest officers didn't seem to sleep well, but they were frightened?" ”

There is no fright, but the shame is real.

The innkeeper saw that the two of them didn't speak, and hurriedly said, "Don't be afraid, aren't you just a Jurchen barbarian?" Our 'revolutionary army' is very powerful, and the generals under his command are all in the sky, and they will definitely be able to defeat the barbarians in the north. ”

As he was talking, a newsboy ran outside the inn, waving a newspaper and shouting: "Outside, outside, the battle outside Shanhaiguan is fierce, and our 'revolutionary army' alone resists the 50,000 horses of the 'Tianyou' army in Jianzhou with the strength of a brigade. The sky was dark when the two sides were killed, and the reporter of this newspaper sent a special article from the front line, updating the battle situation daily. ”

As soon as he heard that it was a battle in Shanhaiguan, the innkeeper hurriedly turned out from behind the counter, beckoned and shouted to the newsboy: "Doll, bring me a newspaper." "It's just that the newspaper bought it, but the boss doesn't know how to read simplified Chinese. He turned to Lu Sun and asked, "The two gentlemen are learned, can you read this newspaper?" ”

Lu Sun and the others are not familiar with this simplified Chinese character, but they can even guess that they can recognize seven or eighty percent. Sun Chuanting did not shirk, stretched out his hand to take the news that was published overnight and read the headline on the front page, "Seven days ago, the slave chief and wild boar skin sent 50,000 'Tianyou' troops to attack and approach our Shanhaiguan. ”

The innkeeper asked, "What is the origin of this 'Heavenly Blessed' army?" ”

There is really an introduction to the 'Tianyou' army outside the number, and Sun Chuanting read: "This army is dominated by the gentry who surrendered to the Ming court, and forcibly recruited the Han people of Liaodong into the army. The commander of the 'Tianyou' army is Gao Hongzhong, the former general of the Ming army in Liaodong. ”

"Hey, it turned out to be a bunch of scum who recognized thieves as their fathers." The innkeeper scolded, along with a group of customers who came to buy breakfast. This scolding made Lu Sun and the others red-skinned and ashamed, they were still mixed with three scum last night. Sun Chuanting couldn't read it anymore, so he could only let Lu Xiangsheng read it on his behalf.

"Yesterday, 5,000 men of the 1st Brigade of the Chinese National Defense Force engaged in a fierce battle with the enemy outside Shanhaiguan, with casualties on both sides. The enemy dispatched a large army formation of several 1,000 men to launch a group attack on our army, and the commander of the 1st Brigade, Gao Daniu, personally went to the front line to take command and fought fiercely with the enemy with fierce platoon fire. Before the battle, the corpses piled down one another, the blood flowed like a river, and the casualties were extremely tragic. ”

Reading this paragraph, more and more people in the inn listened. In particular, when I learned that the Wehrmacht had 5,000 to 50,000, I was even more shocked to hear it. Many people exclaimed on the spot: "God, why is there so many people in the 'revolutionary army'?" Isn't that a losing story? ”

The battle report of the Ming court has always reported good news but not bad news, and Shangguan has to deduct the details between the lines to guess what happened on the front line. On the contrary, the war report of this 'revolutionary army' must show that the enemy is very strong, so as to better reflect the pride and bravery of the new generation of revolutionary soldiers who sacrificed their lives for the country. In the report, there will absolutely not be a matter of 'the enemy's combat strength is unbearable, and our army's momentum is like a rainbow, turning thousands of miles'.

This kind of writing made both Lu and Sun extremely worried. After all, as soon as the Shanhai Pass was broken, the entire North China Plain was completely opened. The entire Central Plains was under the enemy's troops. If this happens, many families will face disaster.

Lu Xiangsheng continued, "Last night, the prime minister ordered all the people to mobilize and recruit militia workers to support the front line. More than 30,000 militias have been organized in Tianjin and Jinzhou overnight. It is not uncommon for parents to send their sons, wives to their husbands, and children to their fathers. Countless Chinese men shed tears and threw themselves into this war to protect their families and defend the country without hesitation. ”

The regular troops of the Wehrmacht are slowly recruited, and they have been preparing for a long time to recruit reserve forces in the capital. The reason why the response to this militia call was so strong was that the incident occurred suddenly during the night and was of a coercive nature. Few people are really willing to go to the battlefield, patriotic feelings are not suitable for food, and most soldiers have to go to the battlefield.

There are also many touching deeds in the process of recruitment, as well as the consequences of refusing to be drafted. The touching places are tearful, and the negative examples are hateful. Even in this small inn, the people listened to it with both sighs and hatred. However, after reading a newspaper, everyone quickly dispersed, and even the innkeeper who bought the newspaper only regarded it as idle talk.

The strong contrast between the people and the others surprised both Lu and Sun, and Sun Chuanting asked the innkeeper: "If the commander wants to recruit you to fight, what will you do?" ”

"That's the other way around." The innkeeper laughed inappropriately, "Let others go on the war." We're not going. ”

"But it's a forced call-up."

"Then we'll run away."

"If you escape, you will be punished."

"We'll talk about it then."

"If there is no one to serve the country in the army, won't we Han people be slaves to the country."

"Alas, it's okay to want us to be patriotic, but it's not okay to want us to fight. This country is not ours, it belongs to the emperor. Naturally, the emperor Lao'er will find someone else to serve the country, but we ordinary people will not go anyway. ”

After asking for a long time, the innkeeper lost the passionate attitude when reading the newspaper, but was very philistine. Sun Chuanting was stunned at first, then closed his eyes, shook his head and sighed.

However, Lu Xiangsheng was looking for a military song in the corner outside the number, which read: "You don't see, the Han Dynasty, the weak crown is the captive, please be long-tasseled; You don't see, Ban Dingyuan, the peerless light cavalry urges the battle clouds! The boy should be in serious danger, how can he let the Confucian crown miss this life? The situation is that the country is in danger, and the feather is constantly fighting! ”

Lu Xiangsheng finished reading softly and sighed, "The people are still those people, and they are no different from the past. But is this 'revolutionary army' different? ”

When Sun Chuanting heard this, he was stunned......
