"Old man, have you ever heard what happened at Wang Erniu's house yesterday?" Guo Wenyuan did not ride a horse, but walked side by side with the farmer in front. He asked him. www
"Yes, yes, Wang Erniu's father fainted yesterday and is still unconscious today."
"Oh? Is that so?"
"Speaking of which, this matter starts with Grandpa Wang Erniu." The farmer was already an elderly man and couldn't help nagging.
Guo Wenyuan was not in the mood to listen to the other party talking about these trivial matters in the countryside, but the other party was so enthusiastic from the beginning that it was difficult for him to interrupt him for a while.
"Old man Wang's father used to be a scholar. He couldn't read people's minds and always believed in a dead truth. As a result, old man Wang also inherited his father's temper. Although he couldn't read and write like his father, he could
I just thought that I should be loyal to the Holy One. Yesterday afternoon, Butcher Zhang next door brought the news that the Holy One would be gone from now on. As a result, Old Man Wang immediately lost his temper and started talking to Butcher Zhang for a long time. He couldn't even catch up.
I was so angry that I fainted."
"Really? You actually fainted because of this incident?" After hearing what the farmer said, Guo Wenyuan couldn't help but laugh.
Yuan Su, who was riding behind, also heard the conversation between the two. However, he did not feel that there was anything worthy of ridicule. Anyway, he secretly felt a sense of sadness in his heart. To say that those Manchu bannermen were responsible for the destruction of the Qing Dynasty.
It's natural to wail and cry, but Wang Erniu's father, a Han Chinese, guarded the festival for a decadent dynasty. What else can it be called ignorance?
He does not mean to scold Wang Erniu's father for being a slave, but he feels sorry for a nation whose people have not yet developed their wisdom. The real revolution should awaken the people's wisdom and let the people clearly understand their current situation. Only a nation with wisdom
, can we truly become a strong nation, and as a Chinese, he very much hopes that he can make some efforts in this regard.
Thinking of this, he secretly made a note of this matter in his mind. When he went to the Second Battalion to meet with He Qigong later, he could talk to him about this issue.
When they arrived at Longzhuang, the farmers led the officers and soldiers to Wang Erniu's door. Dozens of households in Longzhuang were very close to each other, and there was no big scene in the village. So when Yuan Su and his party came over, many households
Everyone ran to the door to look around, and people who were familiar with the farmer even asked him what was going on.
Wang Erniu's home is an old brick house with three rooms and a small yard. The yard has no walls and is only surrounded by a simple and dilapidated wooden fence. The farmer stood at the door of the yard and shouted inside: "Daniu
, Erniu, some military masters came to the city to have trouble with your family."
After a while, the thick curtain of the main room was lifted, and a man in his forties walked out first, followed closely by two young men. Guo Wenyuan recognized one of the two young men at a glance.
One of them was Wang Erniu who left the training camp privately.
The middle-aged man glanced at the officers and soldiers outside. His face showed a hint of sadness at first, and then he seemed to muster up some courage and put on a menacing look. He walked to the door of the yard and shouted at Yuan Su and others
: "What are you doing here? Let me tell you, my father is ill and my brother has to stay at home to take care of the elderly. You can't even think of taking him away."
Yuan Su calmly turned over and landed on the ground, walked to the door of the courtyard, and said to the middle-aged man: "Are you Wang Erniu's eldest brother? Since you already know what happened, let's not talk nonsense. Enter.
There was a clear rule in the camp on that day that you are not allowed to leave the camp without authorization during training. Your brother knowingly violated the rules. This is a very serious disciplinary issue. Today I will take your brother back to the camp to deal with it, and you have no choice but to allow it."
As soon as they heard the word "disposal", the expressions of the three people in the yard changed drastically.
The middle-aged man quickly blocked the door and said loudly: "Humph, why did you take my brother away? My brother went to be a militia and not a prisoner. If something happens to the family, he is not allowed to come back and see? In this case, the big deal is for you.
We don’t want to participate in this bad bird training camp, because we know that you soldiers have uneasy and good intentions!”
Guo Wenyuan, who was standing behind Yuan Su, snorted coldly and said angrily: "You are so impudent that you are so rude. Do you know who this gentleman is who is talking to you? He is the staff officer of the Seventy-Nine Biao and the governor of the militia.
Master Yuan Suyuan."
The three brothers of the Wang family never expected that such a trivial matter would alarm a big shot like Yuan Su. They were not only startled, but also panicked. The big shot came to handle the matter in person, which shows that this time they are really in trouble.
A big disaster. Although they have little culture, "deserting soldiers will be beheaded" has been a custom since ancient times. This is no joke.
The middle-aged man was always bluffing, but now he suddenly lost his confidence and immediately changed his face and begged for mercy: "Yuan... Mr. Yuan, you... you have a lot, please let my brother go. If our father hadn't suddenly had an accident, he wouldn't have
He would be so unruly. Besides, he is definitely not running away, he is just coming back to have a look and will return to the camp soon."
Wang Erniu, who was standing at the door of the hall, quickly echoed his elder brother and said, "Yes, yes, that's it. I planned to go back to the camp early this morning. Please, Mr. Yuan, Mr. Guo, please... please be merciful."
This fuss immediately caused many people in the village to come over and watch. They had just watched the fun before, but seeing the three Wang brothers being so frightened, they couldn't help but worry for a while. Those who participated in this militia training camp in Longzhuang
Many of them just went to the training camp to hang out, and if something happened later in the day or town, they could just go and help. But no one thought that there was a risk of being "disposed" by participating in the training camp, and people were panicked for a while.
, the whispers continued.
Yuan Su had no intention of frightening the three brothers, and he did not want this incident to affect the image of the Supervisory Training Office. However, if this incident did not appear more serious, he might not be able to convince the public in the future.
Immediately, he said with a serious face: "The training camp has training camp rules. Since you were selected to be trained in the training camp, everything must abide by the rules and regulations. Now you have made a mistake and lied about quitting.
Training, do you really think that the training camp is your own yard, where you can come in when you want and leave when you want?"
Wang Erniu said thoughtfully: "But, when you recruited me, you never said there would be punishment..."
Yuan Su interrupted angrily: "On the first day you entered the camp, all the rewards and punishment regulations were read out in public. Did you turn a deaf ear to these words? Do you know how many people wanted to sign up at the beginning?
Camp, how much public money do you spend on daily training? If you say you want to quit now, you will let all these materials go to waste. As a man, you made a mistake and not only did you not take it seriously, but you also made all kinds of excuses. What kind of man are you?
!”
After saying this, Wang Erniu was already blushing with shame, lowered his head and did not dare to say anything.
At this time, Wang Erniu's younger brother suddenly stood up and said: "But people have been required to be filial since ancient times. My second brother came back privately because our father was sick. This is understandable."
Yuan Su said solemnly: "If you asked for leave from the soldiers on duty, then the matter is indeed excusable, but if you go home without even saying hello, this is a serious violation of discipline. The most important thing in our army is discipline. Since
It is us who train the militia, and you must also strictly abide by discipline."
The three brothers of the Wang family were immediately speechless, but they still felt aggrieved to some extent. Because in their opinion, they had signed up for militia training. If the militia still had to follow the same terms and conditions as the regular army, then they might as well go directly.
If you join the army, you'll get a few yuan more for settling in.
It's just that in front of the officers and soldiers, the common people are always a vulnerable group. They don't dare to provoke these people anyway, so why add fuel to the fire and ask for trouble?
Guo Wenyuan ordered the two men behind him: "Go and take Wang Erniu back."
The two soldiers immediately walked quickly into the Wang family's courtyard and took Wang Erniu out of the courtyard. Wang Erniu's eldest brother and younger brother both looked anxious, but they didn't know what to do.
At this moment, the voices of the surrounding crowd became louder and louder. Most people were skeptical and worried whether this kind of experience would happen to them in the future. For ordinary people, they had no idea at all.
They know the principles of running an army, and have no sense of discipline. They just hope to make a living. If you still have to worry about making a living, then it is better to stay at home and live a peaceful life.
Yuan Su turned around, looked at the worried people, and then raised his voice and said: "Fellow fellows, we are here just because we don't want to set a bad precedent. As the saying goes, there is no rule without rules.
As long as you abide by the discipline and complete all training, you can live your life as usual after leaving the training camp. The first batch of 500 civilians in the Supervisory Training Office, except Wang Erniu, all performed very well, you Longzhuang still have
A militiaman named Wang Dasheng has won the best performance award for five consecutive days, and the reward is cash."
There was an immediate sensation among the crowd of onlookers, and some people couldn't help shouting excitedly: "Wang Dasheng? He's my son, he's my son! I'm telling you, my son will definitely have a future."
For a while, some people praised and some were jealous, and everyone's emotions gradually calmed down.
Yuan Su paused and then said: "The reason why our New Army and the Luanzhou Prefecture invested so much manpower and material resources to open a militia supervision training office is to find an excuse to punish you when we are full and have nothing to do. Now in the country
The situation is turbulent, and riots are occurring everywhere. If you want to live a peaceful and stable life, you must take precautions before they happen. Militiamen are also soldiers, and their duty is also to protect the security of a territory."
When Yuan Su was speaking, everyone present quickly fell silent and listened carefully to his words. Although these people were all peasants who had never read, after listening to these words, everyone easily understood the truth.
