Bury the Qing Dynasty

Chapter 95 I want to hold on to the present day (third update! Ask for tickets!)
Although it was only half a day to come to Leling, to Yang Daniu and the people of Xiaoyangzhuang, this half day seemed like a lifetime.

Under the guidance of those soldiers, the people in Xiaoyangzhuang have found their own capable jobs. Those who know how to do carpentry or bricklaying will follow them to build schools. If you are strong enough, you can follow along to build roads.

Yang Daniu didn't want to build roads with others, nor did he want to build a school with him.

Yang Daniu kept remembering the few words that soldier said while taking a bath.

"The head of the family said that we keep our hair short so that the folks behind us can grow their hair as long as they want, and we cut people with knives so that the folks behind us will not be chopped off."

Yang Daniu couldn't tell what he felt when he heard these words, but Yang Daniu knew very well in his heart that after hearing these words, the only thought in his heart was to be like these soldiers with short hair Pick up the knife and chop the tartar.

Yang Daniu wants to keep his current life.

It's a pity that Yang Daniu wanted to kill people with these soldiers, but these soldiers could not accept Yang Daniu.

"It's not time to recruit soldiers yet, even if you want to join the army, we can't accept you."

"If you really want to be a soldier, you can sign up with the peasant association where you are when Meng Lianggu recruits soldiers."

Yang Daniu felt very strange.

I have only heard of young men being forced to serve as soldiers and civilian husbands before, but I have never heard of young men who rush to serve as soldiers but refuse to accept them.

It's just that he was rejected like this, but Yang Daniu was very unwilling in his heart.

After thinking about it, Yang Daniu simply said to the soldier: "I, I am strong, I am courageous, I can endure hardships, I am not afraid of death, and I can do a few crops, Mr. Jun, can you help me?" Let me say a few good words and let the boss accept me?"

After finishing speaking, Yang Daniu didn't wait for the clan to answer, he turned two somersaults in the open space directly, and said with his face changed breathlessly after committing the crime: "Look, military lord, I didn't lie, I did practice After a few tricks, if you can always accept me, I will definitely kill more Tartars."

However, the soldier still shook his head: "Why are you so stubborn? I have already told you just now that I have the final say whether to accept you or not. If you really want to be a soldier, you can only wait for the recruiting after autumn." Have the opportunity."

The more he was rejected, the more panicked Yang Daniu felt.

Seeing that Yang Daniu wanted to say something more, the soldier directly raised his hand and refused, "Our Meng Lianggu's rules are like this, and no one can break them, but come on, you can go and follow your place after you settle down." The guard drills, so that when the army is recruited after autumn, your chances will be better."

Yang Daniu's mind, which is usually not very bright, now seems to have suddenly opened up, and he keenly grasped the key points of the soldier's words.

Chances are better?Could it be that there are so many people who want to be soldiers, and they have to compete with others? "

Of course, there are many people who want to be soldiers.

The officers and soldiers under my Taqing rule are Qiu Ba who are looked down upon by others. Anyone can look down on them, but the soldiers of Meng Lianggu are good men who protect their families and defend the country. People are given priority, coupled with the propaganda of various dramas, naturally there will be more people who want to join the army.

However, the soldier who was terrified was unwilling to continue to entangle with Yang Daniu, and took the initiative to change the subject: "By the way, it's time to have lunch later, and we should set off after lunch is over. .”

Seeing that the "Master Bing" had already said so, Yang Daniu had no choice but to give up the entanglement, and was going to honestly follow the unskilled people in Xiaoyangzhuang to build roads.

Before leaving, Yang Daniu and other people in Xiaoyangzhuang ate their first full meal after they came to Shandong Mansion in this unknown military camp.

Steamed sweet potatoes, steamed potatoes, stewed rotten potatoes, pork slices stewed cabbage, steamed buns with corn noodles, and unlimited soup.

The food is not particularly good. If there are any positives to be picked out, it is that there are a few big bones in the soup and a few oily flowers floating on the surface of the soup.

However, to the surprise of Yang Daniu and the people of Xiaoyangzhuang, the food eaten by these soldiers of Meng Lianggu was basically exactly the same as that of the people of Xiaoyangzhuang. There is no pork slices in this dish.

Yang Daniu heard from several soldiers that this kind of food would not have appeared in Meng Lianggu's army in the past. Although it cannot be said that there are white flour steamed buns for every meal, there are more white flour mixed in Wowotou than now. There will always be a meat dish in the meal, plus a half-meat and half-vegetarian dish, which is much better than what ordinary people eat.

It's just that there are more and more people fleeing from Zhili to Shandong, and the food in Shandong is relatively tight, so they can only eat these things.

Just when Yang Daniu felt uncomfortable, the soldier patted Yang Daniu on the shoulder and said: "Our master said that our Meng Lianggu army came from the common people. We can be hungry or thirsty, but we must Make sure that the fathers and villagers don’t have to suffer from hunger.”

"Don't feel sorry for yourself. If you are soldiers and we are civilians who have escaped from disaster, you will be like us."

Will it be the same?

Yang Daniu asked himself countless times in his heart, but each time he came to the same conclusion.

Not will.

If the purpose of being a soldier is to endure hunger for oneself, but you want to give the good food to the common people, then who would want to be a soldier?
At the very least, Yang Daniu felt that he was not so great.

No matter how he thought about it, Yang Daniu couldn't figure it out. It wasn't until Yang Daniu and the people in Xiaoyangzhuang who were arranged to build roads followed these soldiers out of the barracks and set off for their destination that Yang Daniu figured out this problem.

He passed through many villages along the way, but Yang Daniu did not see that the people in any village would be afraid of these "Masters of Soldiers". Instead, there were always people smiling and greeting these "Masters of Soldiers".

Even the children in the Zhuangzi were the same, and even some brave children would surround these "Masters of War", running, jumping, and yelling.

Yang Daniu seemed to understand something in his heart.

It's a very strange feeling.

If, as a soldier, I guard such people, then can I be like them?

While Yang Daniu was thinking this way, he followed the "Master of Soldiers" in front of him and continued to walk forward, just like this, he walked into a village.

"Master Bing" brought Yang Daniu and others to a courtyard, opened the door and walked in, then pointed to the people in Xiaoyangzhuang, and said to an old farmer in the courtyard: "Mr. Xu, these people from Zhili The people who came over will be settled in our Xiaoxuzhuang, and they will be responsible for repairing the road from Xiaoxuzhuang to Qianxiaohuzhuang."

The old farmer tapped the pot of dry tobacco and said: "Well, I have received a notice from the county government, and the people in the village have also been notified. If there are old people and children, let them take them home and resettle them. Let’s just make the most of it in the shack.”

After the soldier nodded, the old man who was called Village Chief Xu asked again: "My little boy, how is he doing recently? Can you train hard? Can you fight bravely?"

The soldiers nodded, nodded and said with a smile: "Erlang trains very hard and fights bravely. Don't worry, old man. That's all right. I've brought the people of Xiaoyangzhuang with me. I'll go back now."

Village head Xu hummed, and then muttered with his mouth open: "Go, go, it's like this every time. When you come here, you don't even eat a meal. I haven't heard of soldiers like you! And that The head of the family, I think, is also a stubborn one, what kind of broken rules are set!"

The soldier smiled, instead of arguing with Village Chief Xu, he turned around and left after saluting.

If there were no rules set by the head of the family, would the common people still treat themselves, Qiu Ba, as their own children?

After the soldier turned and left, Village Chief Xu took another two mouthfuls of dry tobacco, looked at the bewildered people in Xiaoyang Village and said, "You don't have to treat yourself as an outsider when you come to our Little Xu Village. Treat our little Xuzhuang as your own home."

"Before coming, the soldier just now should have told you that our little Xu's school has already been repaired, and you are responsible for road repairs when you come to our little Xu village."

"The head of our Meng Lianggu said that the road from Leling to Huimin should be rebuilt. Bridges must be built in places such as Majia River, Goupan River, and Balipao. When the roads are repaired, the bridges will be built. , if you big guys are willing, you can take root in our little Xuzhuang."

The farmers in Xiaoyangzhuang were a little confused.

The village of Xiaoxuzhuang doesn't seem to be very big, and there don't seem to be many people in the village. Dozens of households in Xiaoyangzhuang come to resettle, so don't the people of Xiaoxuzhuang have any idea?
Do they think that the people of Xiaoyangzhuang will divide their land when they come?
Do they think that the people of Xiaoyangzhuang will grab food from them when they come?

After looking at each other, it was Yang Daniu's father who stood up in the end, first bowed his hands to President Xu, and then said with a smile: "Brother, I don't think there are many lands in this village? If we Xiao Yang The people of Zhuang took root here, can the land be divided?"

Village head Xu said while tapping the dry tobacco pot, "What's wrong with not having enough land? I know that the big guy thinks that there is land to be at ease, but our head, Meng Lianggu, said that our little Xuzhuang will start working here." The workshop, the workshop also needs a lot of manpower, when the time comes, the people of your Xiaoyangzhuang can go directly to the workshop to work."

"The head of the family said that the wages that the workshop can get are not less than what we can get from farming, and it may be more."

"Of course, if you really have to farm land, then you can wait for the government to redistribute the land for you in other places."

While talking, outside the yard, dozens of men dressed as old peasants who were almost the same as Village Chief Xu walked in. The leader of them laughed and said, "Old Xu, these should be the folks from Zhili. us?"

Xu Cunzi hummed, took two more puffs of the dry tobacco pot, and said: "I told them just now, let the elderly and those with children go to rest with the people of our small Xuzhuang, and the rest of the young Zhuang will deal with it in the shack first."

The man nodded, pointed to the men behind him, and said to the people in Xiaoyangzhuang who were in a dream: "Big fellows, if there are elderly people in the family, or those with children, please stand up first. Follow them back and sleep at their house first."

"The rest of the people who have no elderly or children at home also stand up and follow me to the shack later, and they will live in the shack for the time being."

"By the way, there will be an opera troupe from the county tonight, you can't miss it."
