It was probably the first time for Niu Ben to speak on stage. Looking at the dense crowd of people in the audience, he felt unspeakably nervous. Although he knew all these people, he was very nervous. It felt like a student reading an essay in front of the whole class. Although

All the students in the class know each other, but they are also nervous.

Niu Ben was so nervous that he stood speechless on the podium and his face turned red.

When Li Chaosheng saw this, he knew that Niu Ben was nervous. At this time, Li Chaosheng stood in the audience and said: "Niu Ben, tell me what your name is, where you are from, and how old are you this year?"

Niu Ben reacted after hearing this and said: "My name is Niu Ben, I am from Xiaozhai, I am twenty-two this year."

"Oh, tell me then, why don't you live in Xiaozhai and go to Heilongzhai to become a bandit?"

After hearing this, Niu Ben's eyes suddenly turned red.

"I was living well in Xiaozhai. There were four people in my family, my father, my mother, me, and my sister. But then there was a bully in our village. The bully took a fancy to my sister, so he took advantage of her to go to the river one day.

When I was washing clothes, I dragged them into the woods and defiled them. My sister couldn't bear the humiliation, so she hanged herself. My mother became anxious and immediately fell ill."

"My father went to the bully to argue with him, but the bully's brother was a clerk in the government office, so he found an excuse to send my father to the government office and convicted him. When my mother found out about this, she died of illness in a hurry. I was angry in my heart, so I

I took a knife and prepared to kill the bully while he was out, but the guy was very lucky. I cut him with a knife, and my accomplices came, and then I ran away. I knew that the bully would definitely make trouble for me.

I ran to Heilong Village and became a bandit."

Niu Ben looked at Li Chaosheng and the bandits in the audience talking about his poor sister, his mother who died of illness, and his father who is still in prison. He couldn't help but burst into tears.

Li Chaosheng couldn't help but sigh after hearing this. He patted Niu Ben on the shoulder and said, "I've suffered."

Niu Ben cried even harder after hearing this, just like a child meeting his parents. Li Chaosheng said: "Next, who else has something to say."

After hearing this, another person raised his hand and said, "Let me tell you."

"Oh, what's your name?"

"My name is Wei Bao. My mother said this name is good. I hope God will feed me."

Wei Bang was called to the podium by Li Chaosheng. With Niu Ben leading the way, Wei Bang already knew the process. At this time, he said: "My name is Wei Bang. I am a man who has eaten enough. I am from Tangquan. I am twenty-one years old this year."

, our family is a tenant farmer of a landlord, my father died early, and my mother raised me alone. Last year, my mother told me about a housewife, but the landlord in our family took a fancy to her. The landlord told me

He said that on the wedding day, if I let him enter the bridal chamber first, he would give me a 10% reduction in rent."

"I was not happy, so the landlord fell out and took back the land rented to my family, saying that he would starve to death. I went to the landlord in a hurry and was beaten again, so I took advantage of it.

I burned down the landlord's house at night and ran away with my mother and my daughter-in-law. Later, my daughter-in-law couldn't bear the hardship and starved, so she ran back. My mother got sick on the road and had no money to treat her, so she also died.

"

"I just lost my mind."

Wei Bang said, and Li Chaosheng sighed after hearing this. The daughter-in-law of a tenant farmer returns to the landlord on the first night. Don't think it's a joke. This is a real thing. Feudal society cannibalizes people.

When Wei Fu talked about his mother, he felt so sad that he couldn't help but burst into tears: "Mom, I'm so sorry for you. You worked so hard to raise me, and you never had a good life, mother~"

Wei Bang was crying. At this time, the people below said to Wei Bang: "Don't cry. Follow the master and work hard. I will definitely have the opportunity to go back in the future. When the time comes, I will find your wife and continue to live a good life."

Wei Bang cried even more sadly after hearing this: "No chance, I heard someone said that my daughter-in-law has already married when she went back, but she still did not escape the clutches of the landlord. The person she married is also a tenant farmer. Today

What a shameful landlord!"

Wei Bao cried loudly, and the people below were also moved at this time, thinking of all the things they had done in the past. Who doesn't have a sad past?

If it hadn't been for what happened back then, would they have become who they are today?

A group of people were crying. When they were so sad, some people even cried so hard that they lost their breath. It was so miserable that everyone was so miserable.

Yang Shubai stood at the back of the large conference room. He was stunned when he saw the men crying in tears and the past they told. He never thought that people's lives would be so miserable. At the same time, he couldn't help but think of his own family.

, also with tears in his eyes.

However, he was a little curious as to why Li Chaosheng wanted to bring out everyone's sadness? What was the purpose of doing so?

At this time, it was Shi Dalei's turn. Shi Dalei came up to the stage and said: "I am Shi Dalei. I am 19 this year. I am from Yuchuan. Our family is also a landlord's tenant farmer. My family is poor, so poor. Since I can remember, I haven't had much food."

We had enough to eat for the first time, but even so, the landlord at home kept increasing the rent. My father had no choice at the time, so he took the tenant farmers to find an explanation to the landlord, but the landlord had already brought a group of domestic slaves and farm workers to wait.

It’s here.”

"The landlord wanted to scare the monkeys and beat up the troublemaking tenants, so that everyone would be honest, especially the ones who led the trouble. Just like that, my father was beaten to death by the landlord. After he was beaten to death, our family was remembered by the landlord.

The landlord has threatened to make our family suffer a terrible death, so that everyone can see the fate of those who lead the trouble."

"The big guys were scared of being beaten, and they were really scared of the landlord's methods. Then the landlord threatened to be considerate of everyone, and originally planned to increase the rent by 10%, but changed it to half a percent. After seeing what happened to my father, the big guys agreed.

We work obediently for the landlords, but our family has become a plague that they avoid."

"We brothers were bullied so much that we couldn't escape in the end. Then we met bandits recruiting people and said we could have enough to eat, so we joined the bandits."

After Shi Dalei finished speaking, Shi Xiaolei was gritting his teeth and holding back tears. Li Chaosheng looked at Shi Xiaolei and asked, "Why didn't you take revenge?"

"We are still young, and now we are asking for trouble by looking for landlords who keep evil slaves. Therefore, we must be patient and wait until we grow up to take revenge. This is why a gentleman takes revenge after ten years."

Shi Xiaolei said, Shi Dalei was the last one. After he finished speaking, he came down with tears in his eyes. After listening for a while, Li Chaosheng came up to the stage and said: "Everyone came from hard times, and it is not easy."

"But you still became bandits in the end. After we have complained about our sufferings, it is time to count the crimes we committed. So our second step is called calculating the accounts. I declare in advance that I do not mean to punish you. Now everyone

Any crime you have committed, ranging from murder and arson to stealing someone's chicken, you must tell them. If you tell them, forget the blame. If you still hide it, who knows, you can report it. Reporting someone will give him a reward.

A fat meal, and those who report will be severely punished.”

"Of course you are not allowed to report indiscriminately, otherwise you will be severely punished!"

Li Chaosheng said: "Now guys, tell me what bad things you have done since you became a bandit. You are not allowed to be punished."

As Li Chaosheng spoke, Niu Ben stood up first and said, "I'll do it."

Seeing Niu Ben being so proactive, Li Chaosheng wondered if this was a favor arranged by him. He was too flattering, but Li Chaosheng swore that he had never arranged this favor.

Li Chaosheng thought about it and had a good impression of Niu Ben, so he waved and said: "Come on, Niu Ben, come up and talk about it, everyone is chirping."

Niu Ben said and came up. This time it was much better than last time. At this time Niu Ben said: "I, I am guilty. I have killed people. Three months ago, when I went down the mountain with the third master to rob, I killed a guard.

I also insulted women. After the wealthy businessman's daughter was caught, the third boss had to do something in the woods. Wan Laosan and I were responsible for catching the woman. The third boss let us touch the woman's breasts... and let us go together.

, but I didn’t dare…”

Niu Ben said and suddenly stopped talking, then squatted on the ground and cried loudly: "I, I am guilty, I am guilty, ah... I am not a human being, I am not a human being, that woman begged me, begged me to let her go

She, but I don’t have it, I don’t dare, I don’t dare, if I let her go, the third boss can kill me, I am a beast, I am a beast..."

Niu Ben collapsed and cried so hard that he couldn't pretend. The bandits lowered their heads silently as they listened. They were just like Niu Ben.

"Ah, how could I do this? She, she is obviously the same age as my little sister. Little sister, my mother is watching with open eyes. My mother deserves to die. Sir, I deserve to die."

As he said that, Niu Ben started to twitch his mouth.

Bang bang bang, his face was swollen, Li Chaosheng didn't stop him, he should be beaten, he even said he should die, but Li Chaosheng didn't say anything. This kind of situation often happened in the ideological reform of the Eighth Route Army, those bandits, those Kuomintang remnants,

What is done is much more than this.

But after transformation, they all became brave warriors, and some even performed many heroic deeds on the battlefield to resist U.S. aggression and aid Korea.

Everyone makes mistakes, and it is even more inevitable in these troubled times. If you really hate evil as much as you hate it, and treat people in troubled times with the eyes and standards of people in a prosperous world, few of them will survive.

You must know that in the later period, the rebellious army under Li Chuang was even more evil and their military discipline was loose. Then in the future, all the hundreds of thousands or millions of troops would be killed?

Then if I have killed more Han people than the Tatars, then what have I become?

Again, if you say it today and have a heart to repent, it means you can be saved. If you conceal it and refuse to retaliate, you are really prepared to fight stubbornly. For these die-hards, Li Chaosheng has only one idea: kill them!

We are ordinary people, and our political thinking is definitely not as great as that of great men. Therefore, if we want to be a leader, we must learn from the minds of great men. Otherwise, what are we, an idealist mixed in history?

The most useless ones are idealists, because there is a big gap between ideals and reality. For example, this honest and honest Niu Ben has killed people and helped people bring trouble to girls, but now he is crying like a child.

People can't help themselves in the world. How can you understand the helplessness if you have never experienced it? You would rather be a dog in the prosperous world than a person in a troubled world.

Niu Ben was helped down, his face was swollen, and two of his back molars were knocked out.

Seeing Niu Ben like this, Wei Bao also came up, thought for a while and said: "I have never killed anyone, but I have harmed women. Last time, the tiger in the mountain captured a few women, used them up himself, and rewarded us

Young ones, I will go with them..."

…

Live it alone, everyone has done bad things more or less. There is no way the environment is like this. If you don't do it, how is it possible? Only Shi Dalei and Shi Xiaolei can do it. The two of them joined the bandit team relatively late. Li Chaosheng and the others were

It was their first time to go down the mountain to rob. As for the mountain, they were almost like refugees.

But even so, Shi Xiaolei still confessed that he stole other people's chickens on the way to escape, and once he was so hungry that he robbed a pancake from a man who was eating pancakes on the roadside.

Everyone has told everything about themselves, and no one has reported it, which means that no one has concealed anything. It can be said that these people are not good people. Some have killed people, some have set fires, and some have caused harm to women...

It can be said that in modern society, by the standards of modern society, these people would all be in jail. However, it is precisely because of the heinous nature of their crimes that most of them are even more condemned.

After a meeting where the accounts were settled, each of these bandits had some wounds on their faces, all of which were self-inflicted. It seems that when people are in a good mood, they like to hit themselves a few times.

Li Chaosheng listened one by one. Finally, Li Chaosheng came on stage, looked at the people in the audience and said: "You all once committed heinous crimes. Think about why you became bandits, and then look at what you did after becoming bandits. Have you become what you are?"

The most disgusting look I’ve ever seen!”

"Ask yourselves, are you not heartbroken or guilty?"

Li Chaosheng continued: "But that is all in the past, let's forget about it, but from now on, you will be reborn. If you make these mistakes from now on, you will not be spared!"

Everyone nodded in unison and followed Li Chaosheng: "But the mistakes you made don't just disappear. I hope you will always remember how you became bandits and how you helped others do evil, and next you have to replace them."

Atone for the mistakes you have made and save more people like you!"

After hearing this, everyone was silent. Li Chaosheng took a look and said: "Okay everyone, I will give you a choice. I keep my promise and am willing to continue to go home and farm. I will let you go now and you are willing to work here."

Soldiers, save more working people like you, stay here, and I will give you a future."

After hearing this, the people below almost said in unison: "We stay, stay."

After hearing this, Li Chaosheng nodded, that's it. As long as they use discipline and standards, they will gradually become qualified soldiers. Li Chaosheng thought and then said: "Okay, now I will grant you the first platoon of the Repentance Army."

No., from now on you will be a penitent army, and I will assign you a platoon leader to lead you, and you will cooperate well."

"yes."
