The joy of surviving, the confusion about the future, the uneasiness about the unknown, all these things, all rolled into my mind and lingered in my heart for a long time.
Sun Shiwan is dead, and the officials who have been arrogant and domineering over us for generations can die and escape. The settlements have also been dismantled, and some residents in the settlements have fled with their families - yes
For them, the camp was an endless hell from which they could never be liberated. They did not believe that they could be liberated, and were afraid that one day the court would come back and they would still have to live in the dark days of oppression.
But for most people, it is gratifying to be free from oppression, but the future is very uncertain. The governor has run away and the government is gone. What should we do?
There are only two ways for military households to make a living: either farming in the camps, or fighting as soldiers in the camp. When the Australians come, will they still want us to farm the land and serve as soldiers?
I heard Uncle Chicken say that Australian soldiers are all recruited, and there is no such thing as a military household. Now that there is no military household system, how do we people make a living? You must know that the land in the camp is "official"
"Land". None of it is ours.
If the Australians take over "official land" and don't want us to serve as soldiers, how will we live?
I just wandered along the street with the crowd in a mixture of joy and confusion.
The streets were noisy. Although all the officials in Zhaoqing had fled, there were many young and middle-aged men wearing red armbands with the word "Public Security" written on them. They were holding whistle sticks and scattered at the city gate and in the streets.
, shocked Xiao Xiao, and it is said that he also captured many gangsters who tried to take advantage of the chaos to rob. They were all dragged to the gallows at the gate of the city and hanged.
Therefore, although there were many people on the street, there was no riot. I saw Dian Shi, the former Gaoyao County government official, on the street. He was also wearing blue sleeves and shouting there to maintain order.
Uncle Chicken has not been at home since last night, and no one knows where he has gone. I wandered the streets to see if I could find him - ask Australians, he is our "Australia"
Maybe you can get the answers to many questions by asking him. I had a vague feeling at that time: Uncle Chicken is actually a masterpiece of Australians.
This kind of speculation has been around since the moment I heard that Fubo Army regained Guangzhou. From that time on, Uncle Chicken would often not go home for several days in a row. When he came back, he would always have a smile on his face - at that time
Everyone is in a panic, because no one knows whether the war will extend to Zhaoqing. War is not only a heavy thing for the military families who have to send troops, but also for the ordinary people, it is a "catastrophe" that will destroy their families and their lives at all times.
”.
But Uncle Chicken always took his time and advised everyone not to be afraid. He said, "If there is chaos, the world will soon be peaceful." At that time, I thought this was just an empty talk with good wishes, but I didn't expect that there was something behind it.
Such a profound meaning! Since then, the land where our ancestors have lived for generations has really been "peaceful".
Brother Hai and I searched for him on the street for a long time, but Uncle Chicken could not be seen anywhere. On the contrary, Uncle Chicken saw Brother Hai first in the crowd, and then found me next to Brother Hai.
Uncle Chicken also wears this armband and holds a whistle stick - it turns out that Uncle Chicken is really an Australian spy!
I had a lot of questions to ask Uncle Chicken, but he just smiled and waved his hand at me.
When the anxious Brother Hai saw this "Australia Master", he was like a man who had fallen into the water and found a big log. He quickly grabbed Uncle Chicken and asked what the Australians were doing by gathering people here, whether they wanted money or Latin.
?Uncle Chicken only said three words lightly, "Enter the city style."
Entering the city and military parade are relatively common today. They are an effective and important way to show the military power of our Fubo Army, improve the pride of our Fubo Army soldiers, and educate the people on patriotism. Many comrades in local and military areas
They wrote a letter to our Political Department, reporting that the military parade had a great educational effect on soldiers and the masses, and that the people were very enthusiastic about joining the army. They asked us to hold more and bigger parades even if we only sent one battalion and one company.
In Pseudo-Ming, there were similar activities. But it was just a few crooked soldiers holding a flag and throwing a pestle there. Then hundreds of soldiers followed the gongs and drums signal and ran around the school field to change formations. At most, there were cavalry.
The performance of horseback riding skills is euphemistically called "school martial arts performance". Because it is indispensable for playing machete, chest crushing and archery tricks, it is very lively. Therefore, it is very attractive to watch. I am from a military household, so of course I have seen these.
Wang Zunde had done it once before in Zhaoqing when he invaded Lingao. It was very large, so I was looking forward to the Fubo Army's entry into the city.
"Step together - let's go!"
At about 10 o'clock in the morning, like a thunder blast in the plains, a Fubo army pacesetter was divided into two columns. Under the leadership of a captain holding a command knife, carrying a Mini gun, they came down from the city wall and walked
Walking in unison at 170 steps per minute, like a dam piercing the river, they separated the crowds congested on Dongmen Avenue, leaving a gap in the middle. There were some second-rate people in the crowd who wanted to laugh or yell, but they were ambushed like tigers and wolves.
The Polish soldiers stared at him intentionally or unintentionally, and opened their mouths indifferently, forgetting what they originally wanted to say. The originally lively crowd became as silent as dead water.
"Settled-"
"Left, right - turn!"
"Shoulder under the gun!"
The captain gave continuous orders, and the Fubo soldiers on both sides did not hesitate. They turned around in unison and put down their rifles in unison. The butts of their rifles hit each other, making a heavy muffled sound.
After a while, the sound of trumpets, flutes and snare drums could be vaguely heard outside the east gate, and the crowd began to commotion. People stood on tiptoe, pulling on other people's shoulders, and stretched their necks to see. A company of grenadiers.
Divided into three columns, guarding a huge red flag of the Star Fist, they walked in from outside the city gate to the music of "March of the Grenadiers", to the beat of drums, and with majestic weapons.
Ah, there are such good soldiers!
The commotion in the crowd is getting louder and louder. Anyone who is used to seeing the arrogant Ming bandit army thinks that all armies in the world are like this. Who will not be shocked when they see the Fubo army? What's more, this is not the case.
He is the elite of the Fubo Army, a grenadier who is indomitable, tall and straight, with excellent combat effectiveness and temperament!
These soldiers were tall, and with their pointed military caps on their heads, they all looked like giants. The red military uniforms were so gorgeous and neat, with leather belts and sharp bayonets... I was immediately stunned.
Already.
I was born a "soldier", and my neighbors are all soldiers, and I work with soldiers every day. I have never known that a soldier or a soldier can have such a majestic appearance!
What did Uncle Chicken wear when he went to the war? It was a large "walking coat" that anyone could wear. Without a belt, it would hang around the body, just like wearing a pocket. The problem was that it didn't fit well because the superior officer was underpaying.
As a matter of fact, the robes are always in tatters. Not to mention the majesty of soldiers, they can't even be an upright person. In the eyes of ordinary people, soldiers are the same type of people as ruffians and bandits.
Just when we were in admiration and shock, a veteran officer walking in front, commander of the third battalion of the 1st Brigade, Commander Zhu Quanxing, my old superior, just as the "Grenadier March" sounded for the second time, that burst of
When the stormy drum beat once again made people tremble in their hearts, it seemed that they were still not satisfied with the effect.
He frowned, took two quick steps to get out of the queue, walked to the front of the team, turned around, waited for the flute player to finish playing, waved to the team and shouted loudly: "We are all here, there is a truth that goes without saying,
Get ready to sing!”
The tense faces of the soldiers suddenly broke into laughter, and the flutist and drummer happily began to accompany everyone. The soldiers sang along at the top of their lungs:
"There is a truth that goes without saying.
Soldiers should go to the battlefield
…”
The song was like a torch lighting up the grassland. It was spread from the front to the end of the row by word of mouth, igniting an unstoppable prairie fire that resounded throughout the Zhaoqing morning. The long gray dragon sang a song
During this majestic song, everyone held their proud heads high and chests puffed out. Their medals shone with dazzling light in the sun, illuminating the city of Zhaoqing that had been dark for thousands of years.
I come from a military household, and I have seen soldiers and soldiers singing in unison. They say they are soldiers, but they are just soldiers who only bully the common people; they say they are songs, but they are also "imperial control" that the soldiers cannot understand.
"Form Song", all I know is parrots roaring along. Such soldiers whose faces are filled with pride, soldiers who are full of vitality, soldiers who are full of contempt for the enemy and confidence in themselves, such oppressive soldiers, I almost
I have seen it! The Ming army said, "Good iron should not be hammered with nails, and good men should not be soldiers." Fubo army said, "Good steel should be forged into sharp swords, and good soldiers should fight hard battles." The Ming army's war philosophy was "
"Fame comes from the spear and sword, and you can seal your wife and your son"; Fubo's army said, "As long as the Senate calls out, sing a war song and rush to the front", it is a judgment call. I understand, this is an army dedicated to succeeding on the battlefield.
What a majestic army.
The lively children also lost the fear they had at the beginning. Taking advantage of their small size, they got rid of the control of adults. They sang songs like the soldiers and chased the team through the gaps in the crowd. A seven-year-old boy
, I don’t know if he lost his balance or was too excited, but he got in beside the pacesetter and bumped into the leg of a little soldier. The little soldier subconsciously picked up the little boy, but this friendly action made the crowd angry.
There was a commotion - everyone believed the hateful fake authorities and thought they were going to arrest the child. The little boy's grandfather wanted to rush in to pick up the child but did not dare. He was so anxious that he stood behind the pacesetters, jumping and crying.
The little soldier saw the old man and understood what had happened. He ran out of the queue and returned the child to the old man's arms. He gave the old man a green smile, touched the child's little face, waved and ran back to the original queue.
.This behavior, which is common in the Fubo Army, caused a greater commotion among the people watching. Even in the hypocritical Ming Dynasty, if you encounter a good-tempered person, you will inevitably get a beating if you collide with the troops; if you encounter a bad-tempered person, you will be beaten on the spot.
Even if you're beaten to death, there's no place for you to reason with me! Everyone whispered to each other, completely unable to believe that what was happening in front of them was reality.
What happened next made everyone think it was a dream even more.
After the entrance ceremony began, several women carried baskets, baskets, and large teapots to distribute eggs and tea to the soldiers entering the city. But most of our soldiers declined politely; a very few accepted the eggs.
, also speaking fluent or broken Cantonese, thanked the women. The thirsty soldier took the tea bowl, drank it while standing there, returned the tea bowl to the women, thanked them, and then rushed back to the team.
Later, the women simply stopped distributing eggs. With the help of the people nearby, they picked up the eggs and stuffed them into the pockets of the soldiers.
When I was in private school, I heard about the so-called "Master Wang" who was very popular with the people. People put food in their bamboo baskets and filled their kettles with water and went out to the streets to welcome "Master Wang". But how often do you see this?
However, the "King's Master" was not even willing to take the people's food and water! Comrades, how could any of the soldiers in those days, whether they were distant braided soldiers or the puppet Ming army around them, not plunder the people?
Our current enemies, the Spaniards, are just like the Dutch, they are all bandits who bring harm to the people. We had a saying at that time, "Bandits pass like a comb, soldiers pass like a grate", which means that when the bandits come, they are like combing a comb.
If you live the same life, you can still leave something behind; but what about the fake Ming bandit army? Don't think about leaving anything. The Fubo Army is an army that neither robs nor kills, treats people well, and is not even willing to take gifts from the people.
, is very fresh. In the words of Brother Hai, "I have grown up and have seen many armies. How can I not rob the people? Just rush here, and the court will never come back!"
After the Fubo Army liberated Zhaoqing, they implemented military control over Zhaoqing. However, for the people, apart from the fact that the Fubo Army's policy of not allowing open defecation and hygiene made some people uncomfortable and complained, there was no inconvenience to the people.
The public security here has improved. The Fubo officers and soldiers were fair in their dealings and spoke kindly, and the rumors spread by the authorities were self-defeating. The children put some trinkets of various colors and materials on their chests that served as medals.
, the scene of walking in unison behind the patrolling Fubo Army soldiers has become a scene in Zhaoqing. The catchy military songs of Fubo Army are very popular among the people, and "I am a soldier" and "I am a soldier" can be heard everywhere.
"There is a truth that goes without saying". What is interesting is that these military songs were originally only available in "Newspeak" versions. I don't know who translated and adapted them, and Cantonese and local dialect versions emerged. The people understood the meaning of the songs.
The meaning of singing is that I love our Fu Bojun even more.
If you want to be a soldier, you must be a Fubo Army! From then on, I strengthened my belief. Later, when the Fubo Army recruited soldiers locally, I convinced my parents and went to the military camp with Brother Hai to sign up. When the recruiting officer asked
When asked what my name was, I told him, my name is Liu Xing, Xingwu Xing.
