Zhang Huangyan encouraged Huang Fa a few words, and then nodded at the other people who raised their hands, and the answers of these people were almost the same, they all regarded Zhou Shixian as their savior.

After all, although these slender men have seen more of the world than the ordinary peasant who digs in the fields, they have hardly seen anyone who is kind to them, and the officials, the wealthy merchants, and even the servants only treat them as brute force animals that can speak human words, let alone give them the most basic respect.

Moreover, although there are many rules for military training now, it is not as hard as pulling fiber, and the food and accommodation are much better than before, not to mention, there are still so many monthly salaries to receive, let alone being bullied. The officers here do not have the kind of deductions as rumored, after all, they are not paid by them. But the military stick was indeed too ruthless, and almost every slender man was beaten several times, and the most was deducted three dollars a month's salary.

But Zhang Huangyan can't stop there, this is not what Zhou Shixian wants, although he also wants to create a glorious image and supreme authority in the hearts of the soldiers, but this is not enough to support a strong army, Zhou Shixian set up instructors, not to mythologize himself, but to shape the belief of this army, the belief of fighting for himself, this is the fundamental.

After Zhang Huangyan raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, he suddenly became serious, and asked with a cold face: "You are right, all this is the benevolence of the colt and the gift of the colt, but have you ever thought about why the colt is like this?" And you, why did you come to the canal from Shandong, Henan, and Beizhili, from your hometown, and then to Yingtian? ”

As soon as these words came out, the queue suddenly fell silent again, everyone looked at each other, and many people even clenched their fists with angry faces.

Zhuang Lidong originally had more than a dozen acres of land at home, but eight years ago, there was a continuous drought in the field, but the taxes levied by the imperial court were not reduced. In the end, I had to use my family's land to pay off my debts.

When he heard this, he thought of the day when he went to draw a prison, and accidentally saw the scene of Zhang Ju's family's cellar - he had never seen so much grain in his life, and the cellar was piled up one by one. How can there be so much food in this world!

"It was those landlords and old money, those corrupt officials and corrupt officials, they all forced us to leave our hometowns to beg for food, and we were looked down upon and bullied. One stone of grain, after half a year, you have to pay back four stones, and this is how the grain in the world was deceived by them......"

As soon as Zhuang Lidong's bitter water poured out, other people were also infected, and the ordinary people who were originally timid raised their hands one after another to reveal the grievances in their hearts. Many of them were originally homesteaders and tenants, and they were forced to come out to beg for a living in their hometowns, and a considerable number of them died so that they were the only ones left alone.

Soon, as they spoke, there was a cry in the queue, what happened to them, the suffering they had suffered over the years, it seemed that at this moment, someone was finally willing to listen, and finally someone could understand. They are no longer brute force animals like cattle and horses, but only shouting the slogan of pulling fiber.

Zhang Huangyan and Zhang Hong on the stage also felt deeply, Zhang Huangyan was born in a family of eunuchs and had not experienced this, but he had been worried about the country and the people since he was a child, and he was also very empathetic.

And Zhang Hong was born in a military household, and over the years, he has seen too many people who have left their hometowns and died in wars, so I don't know what they said?

Seeing that the emotions in the audience had been brewing, Zhang Huangyan raised his hand again to signal quiet, with Zhou Shixian's guidance, he had done such a thing in Yangzhou three times, and now he was simply familiar with the road.

"Everyone said it very well, and it was right, it was the landlords, the corrupt officials, the profiteers, the bandits, the Tartars, these are the reasons why we have left our homeland and have not had enough to eat...... Therefore, do you now know why as soon as the horses arrived in Nanjing, they began to rectify the corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and began to oppose the landlords, so as to crack down on profiteers and raise grain prices? ”

Zhang Huangyan said while slowly stepping forward, he looked around, and continued to say sonorously: "It is so that the people can have a way to live, the court is good, and the horses are also good, but there are many corrupt officials and corrupt officials, many profiteers, as well as rogues and tartars, they have all lost their conscience, and they are the reason why the court is forced to continue to raise taxes." ”

After all, Zhou Shixian represents the Ming Dynasty, and he naturally can't dig his own foundation, so he can only let Zhang Huangyan attribute all the mistakes to the outside through sophistry. Otherwise, he would not have been able to complete the "brainwashing" of these people, let alone ensure the absolute loyalty of the army to himself.

"Swear allegiance to the colt, swear allegiance to the colt." There was a sudden shout from the queue, and then the entire "Wu'an Battalion" was boiling, and the shouts shook the sky.

Zhang Huangyan was already surprised, and he would be surprised at first, shouldn't it be "sworn allegiance to the imperial court"? But after a little thought, he knew that this was intentional by the colt, and he was not the kind of pedantic person, and he knew that he should not talk nonsense. What's more, isn't he a colt now?

When the atmosphere in the audience eased a little, Zhang Huangyan spoke again, what he really wanted to say, what Zhou Shixian really wanted to achieve, was just beginning.

"Brothers, can anyone tell me what the real reason is, apart from the superficial ones just now? Why do you suffer, you suffer? Zhang Huangyan asked loudly again, but everyone was stunned.

But he didn't wait for others to answer, this is what Zhou Shixian taught him, in this kind of time when everyone's thinking is confused and emotional, he must quickly output his own opinions in order to make the most people believe.

"Because you are too weak, the landlord's family, you can't beat the profiteer's servant, the soldier can bully you at will, the rogue bandits can kill you at will, the Tartars enter the fortress, burn and loot, but you have no ability to resist at all."

Zhang Huangyan paused, and at this time, everyone in the audience, even Zhang Hong, also focused their eyes on him. You must know that Zhang Hong, a person in the army, is the most advocating for strength, and only when he is strong can he save his life on the battlefield.

"Today, there are horses to protect you, and these generals and veterans to protect you, otherwise do you think that others will not dare to bully you? Will someone build you a house? It's up to you, okay? ”

The recruits in the audience listened to it in their hearts, but they didn't dare to speak out, and many people seemed to understand why they had been bullied, it turned out that they were not strong enough. They looked at Zhang Huangyan, wanting to know from each other's mouths how to become stronger, how not to be bullied, and to live with dignity without the protection of the horse master.

Zhang Huangyan did not stop at all, and continued to follow the method taught by Zhou Shixian, PUA said: "No, at least it is far from enough now, you are far from strong enough, if you want to become strong, not to be bullied, if you want to live an upright life, and not to beg for others in a low voice, you have to become stronger, you have to help each other, you have to die on the training ground, you have to endure the sticks of officers, and you have to endure hard training.

You must remember that you are not a person, nor are you the dozens of fellow villagers at the beginning, behind you are the horses of the dynasty, the Ming Dynasty, the thousands of comrades-in-arms who fought side by side, trained together, and were about to be born and die together, the swords and guns in your hands, and the indestructible muskets and artillery.

With these, no one will dare to bully you, because he is not bullying you alone, it is our 25,000 soldiers, the Ming court, and the master of the horse. Such a person, whether it is a landlord, a profiteer, or a rogue, even if it is a Tartar, we will let him die! ”

The more than 2,000 soldiers in the audience listened enthusiastically, they never thought that they could represent so many things, and they had so much support, a sense of belonging, a sense of honor, and pride, which came to their hearts for a while.

At this moment, they all seemed to realize one thing - their identities and fates had changed.

"From the moment you join the army, your future is bright, and we will have more people to join in the future, you will not always be just a small soldier, the captain, the captain, the flag captain, the hundred general, the thousand, and even the battalion officer, as long as you have the ability and military merits, anyone can be promoted.

Do you understand? As long as you have the ability to fight the Liukou, kill the Tartars, and recover Shandong, Shanxi, Henan, Shaanxi, Beizhili, and even Liaodong, there will be official positions, military salaries, rewards, houses, women, these will all be there! ”

Zhang Huangyan is already well versed in the technique of painting big cakes, and it seems that his preaching is inspired by feelings, but in fact, where every step goes and what to say, it is planned in advance.

These slender men from peasant tenants do not know what the righteousness of the family and the country is, but they understand that they have endured a lot of hardships and lived a miserable life, and they know that they need to have enough to eat, marry a daughter-in-law, have a baby, and live in a house......

In other words, for these poor people who can't read a single word, they don't need you to speak logically, and they don't need to speak ornately, but if you explain what the benefits are, they will know whether to do it or not. Don't be afraid to endure hardship, not afraid to suffer, not even to die, just afraid of not having anything to eat.

"Where did that come from?" Zhang Huangyan yelled again.

The emotions of the audience were already mobilized, and then there was a shouting reply: "On the training ground!" On the training ground! ...... on the training ground"

"Serve the horses, kill the Tartars, kill the rogues, kill the corrupt officials, kill the profiteers!" Zhang Hong was also in an excited mood at this time, and as soon as the audience moved a little less, he suddenly shouted.

Immediately, there was another shout from the mountains and the sea: "Serve the horses, kill the Tartars, kill the rogues, kill the corrupt officials, kill the profiteers!" ”
