At Peach Blossom Fair, it was noon, and the sun was high above the head, casting golden brilliance. The Zhejiang troops who had trained all morning sat on the ground in a circle with sentry units, and in the center of the circle stood Zhu Ping'an.
"You all performed very well this morning. You have all worked hard. Lunch has been prepared at Huotou Military Camp, and the pork promised by me has been stewed in the pot. Before lunch, I will teach you a song by our Zhejiang Army.
Song, please study the whistle seriously. Those who have learned the whistle can have lunch first. Those who have not learned the whistle can not have lunch until they have learned it. If they still can't learn it, then lunch will be saved. Oh, yes
Sorry, I almost reminded you that pork is limited, those who arrive first can eat meat, and those who arrive later can only drink soup..."
Zhu Pingan stood among the crowd, first praised them, and then asked them to learn to sing military songs.
When everyone first heard Zhu Pingan say that the pork had been stewed in the pot, everyone was excited and shouted "powerful". However, when they heard Zhu Pingan asked them to learn to sing military songs before they could eat lunch, they all turned sad.
"Sir, if you ask us to sing military songs, aren't you asking Zhang Fei to do embroidery? That's because we are over-motivated but insufficient."
"Sir, we are all bandits and bandits. We are illiterate. You ask us to sing military songs. Isn't it difficult for us?"
"Besides, what's the use of singing military songs? We're not kiln sisters and oirans, so what's the use of singing?"
"That's right, no matter how beautiful the singing is, what's the use? When we go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, is it possible that we can still sing to kill the enemy?"
...
The people in the audience had grimaces and started to complain in confusion.
"What's the use of singing?!" Zhu Pingan looked at everyone with a smile and said slowly, "Do you know about the dispute between Liu Bang and Xiang Yu between Chu and Han?"
"I've heard it, I've heard it. Liu Bang, who cheated on food and drink, became emperor in the end. Her daughter-in-law is amazing, a poisonous queen."
"What a pity for King Chu Ba. Why didn't he cross the Wu River? If he did, the dynasty might have changed."
"Liu Bang just wanted to steal Xiang Yu's wife Yu Ji, so he killed Xiang Yu..."
Everyone replied in confusion, obviously they had all heard stories about the Chu-Han Controversy, unofficial histories and the like.
Zhu Ping'an nodded slightly, "Well, since you all know about the conflict between Liu Bang and Xiang Yu between Chu and Han, you should have heard the story of being besieged on all sides. Of course, it doesn't matter if you haven't heard of it. Let me tell you briefly. The conflict between Chu and Han back then
In the battle of Dingding, Liu Bang mobilized Han Xin, Peng Yue and other generals and led a large army to surround Xiang Yu's 100,000 troops and horses at Gaixia. Xiang Yu was surrounded, and his troops and horses were reduced day by day. He could not get supplies, and his food and grass were getting less and less.
Late that night, Liu Bang devised a plan to be surrounded by enemies on all sides and ordered the Han troops surrounding Gaixia to sing the songs of the Chu people, which were the songs of Xiang Yu's home base of Chu. Xiang Yu, who was sleeping in the commander's tent in Gaixia, was awakened by the singing. After listening carefully, he was shocked.
,'Has Liu Bang already obtained the Chu land? Why are there so many Chu people in his army?', He suddenly lost his fighting spirit and sang a generous lament to his favorite concubine: 'Strengthening the mountains and overwhelming the world, the times are not favorable.
What can you do if you don't die? What can you do if you are worried!', after singing it several times, his beloved concubine also sang along, and then the two of them were speechless and shed tears. In the end, he
His favorite concubine Yu Ji committed suicide in front of Xiang Yu's horse, but Xiang Yu's hero came to an end and took his only remaining soldiers to Wujiang River, where he finally committed suicide by the Wujiang River."
"This is the story of being besieged on all sides. You just asked what the use of singing is, and this is the answer." Zhu Pingan looked at everyone with stern eyes and said loudly: "Singing can unite the morale of the army, boost morale, and also destroy the enemy's morale. It's no exaggeration.
It is said that a song is worth a thousand troops!"
Everyone present was enlightened.
"We understand. However, we are illiterate and have poor brains. We are afraid that we will not be able to learn..."
Someone said worriedly, which was echoed by many people.
"Don't worry, the lyrics of the military songs I will teach you are simple and easy to understand. They are nothing special. They are all in vernacular. The lyrics are not long, only a few sentences. As long as you study hard, there is nothing you can't learn." Zhu Ping'an.
He smiled slightly and said to everyone, "Okay, now I will teach you. The name of this military song is "I am a soldier"."
"I am a soldier... This is a good name. It sounds like we are singing it." Everyone in the audience was excited and curious. They looked at Zhu Pingan eagerly, waiting for Zhu Pingan to teach them.
"I'm a soldier
Comes from the common people, bathes in the emperor’s kindness
Defeat the Japanese invaders
Destroy the Huruhun;
I'm a soldier
Love the king and the people
The fire war tested me
Take a firmer stance;
Hey, hold the weapon tightly
Eyes can see clearly
Who dares to invade my country?
Beat him resolutely without mercy..."
Yes, the military song Zhu Pingan taught them to sing was the famous revolutionary song "I am a soldier" from the early days of the founding of our country.
This is a popular song, written and composed by Lu Yuan and Yue Lun, and was born after the outbreak of the Korean War. Once it came out, it quickly became popular all over China and spread all over China. Its lyrics and music are simple, but full of power.
; Its lyrics and music are simple, but it bursts out with the strongest sound of the times. After its birth, with its overwhelming momentum, it inspired generations of compatriots and soldiers of the three armed forces to fight bloody battles for New China! During the Korean War and the rise of New China,
This song has contributed a force that cannot be ignored.
Of course, on the basis of respecting the original work, Zhu Pingan made some changes to the lyrics of the song so that it could adapt to the feudal Ming Dynasty where imperial power was supreme and to the historical background of today's anti-Japanese war. For example, adding "from the common people" after
Instead of "bathing the emperor's favor", for example, changing "defeat the Japanese invaders and destroying the Chiang Kai-shek army" to "defeat the Japanese invaders and destroying the Hulu and Huns", for example changing "patriotic and loving the people" to "loving the emperor and loving the people"
"...
"This song sounds really exciting. Just like what we adults said, the lyrics are simple and I can understand them all."
"After listening to this song, I feel very proud of myself as a soldier..."
After listening to Zhu Ping'an singing it once, everyone present was excited and felt their blood boiling.
Soon, after Zhu Pingan taught it once, within less than a minute of tea, one of the sentrymen raised his hand to show that he had learned the military song. Zhu Pingan inspected and asked them to sing it again in public, and suddenly a majestic, sonorous and powerful song sounded.
"That's right! You've all learned how to do it, and there's no such thing as cheating. You can go have lunch." Zhu Ping'an nodded.
"Thank you, sir!" A sentry soldier clasped his fists to express his thanks. He walked towards the temporary canteen in the envious eyes of everyone, and winked at everyone proudly, "How about we help you taste the saltiness of the pork, hahaha..."
"Go to hell!"
"roll!"
There was a burst of laughter and curses.
This song was so catchy that everyone present learned it quickly, in less than a quarter of an hour.
"I'm a soldier......"
The majestic, sonorous and powerful singing voice resounded throughout the Peach Blossom Collection, and self-esteem, self-confidence, pride and sense of responsibility were also slowly brewing in the singing...
