Chapter 779: All commanded Shi Wanshan
Just by looking at this, Yang Chendong could think of what kind of life the 10,000 Tatar soldiers in Shouda Lu City lived. According to Su He, Shebei is second only to Amu Gulang's existence, and even he is so thin, you can imagine what kind of life other ordinary soldiers live.
These thoughts just flashed in his mind, Yang Chendong looked at Shebei who was kneeling on the ground and said, "Listen to the head of Su He, your mother is Han?" How can it be proven? ”
It's no wonder that Yang Chendong would ask like this, he still attaches more importance to Han blood. Isn't there a saying? Those who are not of my race will have different hearts. If it can be proved that this farewell is really a descendant of the Han people, and has the ability, if there is a chance, it can be reused.
I didn't expect Yang Chendong to ask this in the first sentence, and it seemed a little surprised to say goodbye, but soon his face regained his calm, and then replied in a straight voice: "Zhongbigong, my mother once said that her ancestral home is from Suzhou, and even my mother's ancestors still have some money, but because she offended people later, the family was sent to the border, and the city was broken in a war, and my mother also became a trophy, and was robbed by my father and gave birth to me." ”
After some explanation, she smiled bitterly, "My parents are no longer here, I know that there is no way to find out about this, but since I was a child, my mother was always willing to hum some Suzhou tunes when she was fine, and I inadvertently learned some of them, and now I will sing them to the loyal and brave princes and adults." ”
I don't care if anyone is willing to listen.,Don't let it sing on its own.,It's the Suzhou Bullet Review that is sung.,Although there is no musical instrument to assist.,But even a cappella has a unique charm.。 When Yang Chendong heard this, he roughly determined the identity of the farewell.
He had heard Su Qu, and the Snow Lady and the Xiang Lady had played in front of him before. Although the farewell is subject to the condition of the voice, the charm has been sung by him, which is not easy. Think about it, if you haven't really heard it, or even heard it, how could a Tatar cavalryman learn such a useless thing?
And if you look carefully at Shebei's face, you can also find that he is different from the Mongols, such as his skin color and demeanor are similar to the appearance of many Han people. Not to mention, how many years of war between Daming and Meng, you have me, I have you, and there are more things to do.
There was no doubt that his mother was Han Chinese, so Yang Chendong nodded his head, "Okay, you don't have to think about your background first." General Su He said that you are extraordinary, how can you prove it? ”
"Huh." Don't smile lightly, "Captain Su He raises love, in fact, the little one is just a captive, where is there any ability." It's just that I have a different view of the current situation than others. ”
The previous words are just kind words, and the latter view is the most important thing, which naturally attracted Yang Chendong's curiosity. "What do you think about the situation?"
"Yes." After saying goodbye very solemnly, he immediately said: "I was fortunate to meet the head of Su He during the day, so I talked about the mercenaries first. In the eyes of the generals, the development and growth of mercenaries is inevitable, and even unstoppable. "Reason." Yang Chendong asked in very concise language.
"There is only one reason, the loyal and courageous man is sincerely for the sake of the people, and this is enough." The confidence on his face, and even if he looked closely, there was a sense of heroism, and the voice of farewell was getting louder and louder. "Looking at the entire grassland, and even the world, there are countless people who claim to benefit the people, but how many people can do it?"
"On the grassland, the tribes are constantly fighting each other, today you beat me, tomorrow I will fight him, the day after tomorrow he will beat you, all for the sake of resources, for the number of gold and silver. Who has ever thought about the people sincerely, and who has seriously considered that what the people really need is peace? ”
"I'm looking at the Ming court. It seems that the territory is thousands of miles away, the population is large, and the land is vast and rich. But how many people are able to have enough food and clothing? Is it truly content? Especially in recent years, after the Ming Dynasty was divided into north and south, what those in power thought about was how to dominate the world and leave a name in history. In order to achieve these goals, they can only compete with the people for profit, snatch gold, silver and even rations from the hands of the people, they don't know, this has made them lose the hearts of the people, even if one day they can dominate the world, but that is only a temporary glory, they do not know that the people are the foundation of a country, only when their lives are really good, and their hearts are sinking, the world will be stable. Many more of them have long forgotten that water can carry boats and can sink boats..."
Talking eloquently, the farewell at this time is more like an old master dominating the world, and many of the things he said are reasonable, even Hu Mang and Yang Er and others who are standing on both sides of him will nod their heads in approval from time to time.
Not to mention Yang Chendong, who is in the first place. This is also the first person among the generals he came into contact with to put the people's will first.
I have also said that the people's hearts have been said before, such as Yu Qian is such a person, he cares about the lives of the people and cares about their thoughts, and because of this, this person has become the city lord of Chiji City. Facts have also proved that this person has done things very well and solved Yang Chendong's worries. And now there is another one, it is conceivable that once Yang Chendong recognizes this person's ability, I am afraid that he will also be entrusted with an important task.
"Not bad." I don't know when, Shebei has stopped his tirade, and the momentum of the whole person has also changed, and he has changed into a sin general kneeling there, bowing his head, a picture of letting it fall. But Yang Chendong's voice also sounded immediately.
He finally understood why Su He would rather not give the benefits he gave, and also bury Amu Gulang, it seems that he also saw that he was a talent.
"Well, farewell, you do have a different insight from people, even if this is the case, are you willing to join the mercenaries?" Yang Chendong said with a straight face. In ancient times, the people were not so important, although many people often said, but the facts have proved that there are not many people who really do it, which makes people even more surprised by the reluctance to look at each other.
"Sin will will. But sin will still have a plea. Farewell was determined at this time, he knew that his own views should be the same as Yang Chendong's, so at this moment he took the opportunity to make a request.
Supposedly, it is said that it is a criminal general, so it should not be a condition. But obviously Yang Chendong was in a good mood this time, there was Su He fighting the front battle before, Yang Chendong was not angry at the moment, but smiled, "Order, collect Amu Gulang's body, bury it alive, and allow 8,000 prisoners plus the people in the city to watch the ceremony." Considering that they have always thought that they have been malnourished for a long time, they will not be recruited as soldiers first, let them return to the logistics regiment in Shicheng, join the construction team first, work while taking care of their health, and after recovering their combat strength, they will consider joining the army, and the matter will be handed over to the commander of the tiger division. ”
"Yes." Hu Mang hurriedly bowed his head.
"Thank you for your loyalty, don't ask for nothing, I am willing to join the mercenary army, and I will not regret it for life." Before he could speak, Yang Chendong had already met all his conditions, and at that moment he bowed to the ground again, showing his determination.
"Hahaha." Yang Chendong's laughter came out immediately, and he could see that he was really happy at this time.
Alu City was breached, leaving no distance between Yang Chendong and Beiming, and seeing that the next avenue that could reach Xuanfu was unobstructed, the situation seemed to have become more complicated at this moment.
Xuanfu, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the north gate of the Northern Ming Jingshi. Once you enter here, you can enter Huailai through the civil fort, and after passing the Juyong Pass, you will be the Jingshi. Naturally, Beiming has also made great efforts here, arranging heavy troops, and the command center of the Wanquan Division is in the Xuanfu.
Wanquan Dusi, the administrative level is the same as that of Nu'er Gandusi, and Shi Wanshan is a second-class military attache for the imperial court, not only that, but he is also a scholar who can fight well and make good decisions.
This has something to do with Shi Wanshan's origin. His father was a showman, because of the compulsion of life, under the sponsorship of some rich gentry in the township, opened a school, and taught only some children in the township, but he really knew a lot, and what was said through his mouth could always be quickly understood and accepted. It is in such an environment that Shi Wanshan grew up little by little, and under the influence of his ears and eyes, he has understood a lot of truths since he was a child.
Originally, he also wanted to be like his father, relying on what he had learned to gain fame and contribute to the Ming Dynasty. In fact, he inherited his father's mantle when he was a teenager and was admitted to Xiucai, which can be said to have a great future, but it was at this time that a sudden incident changed the trajectory of his life. In the second year of his examination for Xiucai, a group of passing bandits suddenly attacked the township and killed a lot of people, when his father and family died under the knife of the bandits, and because he was still young, he was taken away by the bandits as labor, and finally went up the mountain and became a coolie in the bandits' den.
There were dozens of young people who were swept up the mountain together, and in such an environment, they were terribly afraid, but only Shi Wanshan himself was not afraid of power, stood up and accused the bandits of all kinds of wrongdoings, and put forward all kinds of suggestions for solutions.
If you want to reason with the bandits, then it makes no difference to negotiate with Hades. But it was so great that he could come up with some solutions to the problem, and the bandits did as he suggested, and soon found that things were much simpler. In this way, I am afraid that Shi Wanshan himself did not expect that he would be valued by the bandits, and the great plans such as what kind of defense the mountain should be, and how to develop in the future finally fell into his hands.
