"We are all born poor, I know that, because as long as the family has some wealth and can have enough to eat, they will not choose to be dogs for the Manchus, right?"
Li Guang smiled and said to the soldiers around him.
Hearing the words of the Ming army officer in front of him, Li San nodded subconsciously.
yes!
Isn't he a ready-made example?
The family couldn't afford to support his family, so they could only ask him to join the army in order to make a living in the army.
But those bannermen soldiers are really hateful.
With a superior attitude, he treated them as servants, calling them here and there.
Fortunately, there are not many bannermen in the city, and most of them are not interested in recruiting new recruits like Li San.
Looking at the soldiers around them, they nodded.
Li Guang continued with a smile on his face: "Actually, like you, I am also from a poor background. I can understand you very well. It is actually nothing to join the Qing army.
Aren’t you all putting down your weapons now and bringing order to the chaos?”
The soldiers around them looked at Li Guang in front of them with blank expressions in their eyes.
At this time, Li Guang looked at the soldiers in front of him with a smile on his face.
He is the staff officer and trainer of the First Army.
His Royal Highness the Prince has written many works before, that is, these Green Camp soldiers who joined the enemy are also ordinary people of the Ming Dynasty, and they are also ordinary people.
As long as they put down their weapons, they can be influenced.
They are all poor brothers who have nothing to eat or drink.
For them, they are actually ordinary people, because normally, if they are really capable, they will definitely not be sent to serve as soldiers.
After all, being a soldier of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the treatment was not as good as that of the Ming Dynasty!
So, these people are all children from poor families!
Li Guang deeply believed in these words of His Highness the Crown Prince, and he fully agreed with His Highness the Crown Prince's words.
His Royal Highness the Prince also wrote in the book.
For these children of ordinary people, the best way is to care for and empathize with them.
We are all poor, so we actually have a lot of common topics. It is very easy to start with food and clothing.
Thinking of this, Li Guang looked at the prisoners in front of him with a smile on his face.
"His Royal Highness, what you want is that all the people in the world can live a good life, at least a good life with no worries about food and clothing, a good life with enough food to eat!
You can rest assured that when Guangping Mansion is almost pacified, you can choose to go back to your hometown to farm. When the time comes, His Royal Highness will get rid of the local tyrants and evil gentry in your area and distribute land to you for farming.
Or, if you can meet the standards, you can continue to join the army. Of course, joining the Ming army has higher requirements. Of course, if you can successfully join the army, you will not only have meat every meal, but it will basically be regarded as an ordinary army.
In the supply camp, we can basically guarantee that we will have one meal of meat for three days, and we can basically guarantee that we will have enough food the rest of the time!"
The soldiers around him basically couldn't remember the rest of Li Guang's words clearly. They only heard one sentence clearly.
Can have enough to eat!
Everyone looked at Li Guang in front of them with bright eyes.
Li Guang also noticed the looks in these people's eyes.
In fact, it had only been two or three hours since the siege of the city, but these soldiers usually didn't eat well and had no fat in their stomachs. They had worked hard all night.
Now my chest is pressed against my back from hunger.
"Has Huotoujun prepared the food??"
Li Guang asked a sergeant on the side.
"It's ready to report to Staff Officer Li!"
"Then give them food first!"
Li Guang said to the sergeant next to him.
Soon the food was served.
These Green Camp soldiers, who had been hungry for a long time, quickly started eating.
wolf.
The surrounding Ming soldiers looked with disdain at the soldiers who were eating with gusto.
"The food tastes average! And they haven't been hungry for long! It seems like they eat it with gusto!"
A young soldier glanced at the food in his bowl, with a puzzled look in his eyes, and looked at the captives who were devouring it.
"If you think this meal is average, it's because you caught up with it at a good time!"
A veteran next to him heard what the little soldier said and said with emotion to the little soldier in front of him.
"You haven't tried it. You can't even find white rice in the food in the army, right?? At that time, it was considered good to have a hot bite!
How can it be our turn to be picky and picky?"
The veteran said with emotion in his eyes.
Several recruits nearby cast curious glances at the veteran in front of them.
"Senior, tell us what the food in the army was like in the past!"
The veteran looked at the curious eyes cast around him.
He smiled and pointed at the captive soldiers next to him with his chopsticks.
"Just ask the soldiers of these Green Camps. They are basically the same. Of course, they may be slightly better than ours at that time, but I'm afraid the good ones are very limited. They are basically the same!"
The veteran felt a little emotional.
"Before His Highness the Crown Prince established the First Guards Army, I was still receiving pay from warlords in various places. But at that time, military pay was not so easy to obtain, and even white rice was considered a luxury.
Generally, only officers can eat white rice. Soldiers like us can usually only eat some brown rice, some rice that is about to become moldy, mixed with rat droppings and some pebbles to make porridge. When it is better, it can last for three days.
Eat a dry meal, porridge cooked with rice like this.
Then the vegetables are basically some wild vegetable roots and some random vegetables together.”
“Isn’t this just pig food??”
A young soldier couldn't help but said to the veteran in front of him.
Li San, who had been observing the surroundings, heard their words and couldn't help but answer.
"Compared to this, it may not even be as good as pig food!"
Li San couldn't help but said to the soldiers of the Second Guards Corps in front of him.
The soldiers nearby all looked at Li San in front of them.
Li San shrank his neck, an embarrassed look appeared on his face, and he secretly screamed.
Li Guang on the other side also noticed the changes in this place. At this time, Li San actually dared to answer the phone, which is interesting!
With a smile on Li Guang's face, he put down his pottery bowl and slowly walked to Li San.
"May I have your name?"
Li Guang smiled and asked Li San in front of him.
Li San was startled, and panic suddenly appeared in his eyes. Several prisoners who were eating next to him glanced at him with sympathy and left him calmly.
