Chapter 33 Abandonment
Yangqiuli is not an officially certified grassroots regime organization by the Han Dynasty. It is just a settlement where a group of refugees moved with the flow and settled here. It is named Yangqiuli because it is located south of Yangqiu.
It's said that it's a family, but in fact it's only 20 to 30 households, and 200 people
Because Li Kui Jiangxing was knowledgeable, he led the villagers to cultivate the land and built a fence and a watchtower at the entrance of the valley. If he found a bandit, he would run into the mountains and escaped several disasters, so he was able to recuperate for a while.
However, the villagers are still mostly old and weak, with few men as strong laborers, and the strongest ones are all hunched and hunched, and they are as thin as hairs, which is a bit shocking to see.
In comparison, all the soldiers in Gongsun Yan's team were strong. After raising the fine grain and salt for half a month, they all got rid of the dough and the noodles were full of vegetables.
The snow was a little lighter, and the village was usually silent, soldiers wearing black military coats walked around.
"Uncle Ding, why do you think Zhao Duwei and others want us to repair this kang for these Guizhou leaders?"
He Zhou, who was dressed in black and obviously mentally healthy, muttered dissatisfiedly, and was very dissatisfied with working for others in the wind and snow.
Although their clothes are extremely warm and cannot be frozen, they have never had to go out for exercises on Blizzards.
It was supposed to be exempted from the strict training of Zhao Duwei. When they were bragging in the barracks, they were divided into small teams to repair kangs and houses for the people of Guizhou in this village.
He Zhou was very dissatisfied and his hand holding a simple wooden tool to stir the mud was slower.
"Stop talking nonsense!" Ding Li and he were working with him to build mud bricks in the backyard of a family. He was much more steady and knowledgeable than He Zhou, a frivolous boy. "Look at it well and learn it well! If you learn this craft, you can still make a living even if you leave the army in the future."
To beg for food? He Zhou curled his lips disdainfully, it is only for men to make contributions on the battlefield.
Unlike Ding Li, who was desperate and forced to join the army, He Zhou took the initiative to join the recruitment of troops.
He is the third son in the family.
My second brother got married and gave birth to a boy again. The few acres of thin land in the family really couldn't afford to support so many people.
He Zhou volunteered to sign up for recruitment, not only did he get into the army twice a day, but he also gave up the verbal tribute of an adult and strong family.
He didn't want to live like his father and brother, facing the loess and his back to the sky. He wanted to make achievements and marry a beautiful woman.
He was unwilling to waste his energy on these Guizhou people.
Thinking about the wooden pressing board that was crushing the mortar was a little slower.
There are many people who think about it like He Zhou. Although they are from the common people, they have separated themselves from the former class after joining the army.
After joining the army, they asked them to turn the guns and rob the people, and they would not hesitate at all.
"The Art of War" says Yun Zhi is engaged in food from the enemy. In order to avoid the hardships of transporting food in the rear and the consumption of civilians, the generals are encouraged to eat from the enemy on the spot and to seize the enemy's food and grass to replenish their own side.
This policy was abused in the hands of generals who had no moral bottom line.
What kind of soldiers will be brought? This group of white horses followed Gongsun Zan to do a lot of robbery. To them, the people are lambs to be slaughtered and lack empathy.
It is normal for them to kill people at will. If you change your clothes and go to the robbery, you are afraid that it will be more professional than a bandit.
After Zhao Yun became the chief general, although he joined forces with Gongsun Yan and Xiahou Lan to re-design the new military law to prohibit disturbing the people and looting, it was too early to ask them to come and have a relationship with the military and civilians.
The eight variant versions that Gongsun Yan once proposed were three major disciplines. Not to mention Xiahou Lan, even Zhao Yun felt that her thoughts were too naive and temporarily suppressed, and she just waited for the soldiers' psychology to change slightly in the future before trying to implement them.
He Zhou disturbed the wet mud a few more times and angrily threw down the wooden tools in his hand: "Where is the reason why we work outside and those Guizhou leaders stay at home to enjoy the wind and enjoy happiness?"
In anger, He Zhou forgot the newly promulgated military law in the army, walked to the house with great strides, kicking open the covered door.
Several people in the house were ragged in the corner.
He Zhou and other soldiers were angry and didn't want to work hard, so how could the people in the house be happy?
They were scared when they saw the officers and soldiers. Many of them were robbed by these officers and drove them out of their hometown like cattle and horses. How dare these fierce gods who licked blood at the edge of the knife work for them?
But Li Kui also said that it was arranged by the chief officers of this group of officials, and they dared not object.
The government army outside worked to make mud bricks, and the family of them hid in the corner of the house, hiding their young daughter in the house at the innermost point.
He Zhou kicked the door and broke in. The male owner of the family immediately opened his hand to protect his wife and knelt down.
"Mr. Jun. Please spare me." The male owner's head hit the mud, making a sound.
Ding Li didn't react when He Zhou threw down his tools. He kicked the door open and thought it was not good. He hurriedly took two steps and grabbed him tightly.
"You boy, do you want to die?" Ding Li grabbed his arm without making a loud noise, "Did you forget the military law?"
"Zhao Duwei is kind on weekdays, but he is ruthless in law enforcement. Have you forgotten?" Ding Li lowered his voice vigorously, "Look at their clothes, can you work outside on this snowy day?"
It was not that Zhao Yun took office and found faults. He was alone in the school field, fighting in the horses and shooting archery, and accepting challenges one by one, and he truly defeated this team with his strength.
The military order issued by Zhao Yun is very deterrent, but the time is still short and it has not yet given these veterans a deep memory.
He Zhouben was just angry for a moment.
After hearing Ding Li's words, he knew the right amount and looked around for a while, and felt a desire to retreat.
"Get up!" Ding Li scolded the owner's house, who was still kowtowing, and at the same time he pulled He Zhou and wanted to leave the door.
But he saw He Zhou standing in a daze, looking straight at the girl in the middle of the family, hiding inside.
The girl hid timidly behind her mother. She was so beautiful that she couldn't say she was as thin as a ragged man, but her black and white eyes made him suddenly remembered the girl from the neighborhood in her hometown.
He has been in the army for many years, but he doesn't know who the girl married.
Thinking of He Zhou taking a step forward.
It was so scared that the family was huddled like quails.
The girl's mother saw He Zhou staring straight at him. After a moment of hesitation, she finally gritted her teeth and pulled the girl behind her out and pushed her straight towards He Zhou.
"Since Jun Ye likes my daughter, I offer it to Jun Ye!" The role of an old woman changed very quickly. She was her daughter's protector a few breaths, and after a few breaths, she decisively abandoned the girl.
It’s not that the girl is not her heart. If she doesn’t love her, she won’t protect her. However, this troubled time teaches people a cruel rule. If she doesn’t learn to give up, her whole family will be overthrown.
The man and the woman opened their eyes with bloody eyes and protected them in front of several other young children.
The girl who was pushed out by her mother stood in a daze in the room, with He Zhou Ding Li on one end and her parents protecting her younger siblings on the other. She stood in the middle with her naked feet that were chapped and cracked, and she didn't know where to go.
Looking at her mother for help, she saw her mother shaking her head with tears in her eyes. The girl felt as if she was standing naked in the snow, and the cold air climbed up along her back like a snake.
