The sunshine at the end of the fifth month of the lunar calendar is already very blazing. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoEspecially in windless weather, it is even more uncomfortable to get sunburned.

Looking down from the sky, the craftsmen and laborers who built the Iron Dragon City were like a team of ants with a clear goal, rushing around under the blazing sun, and everywhere was busy.

Wu Zhuang, a laborer of the new annexed army, and another laborer of the new annexed army, carried a huge bluestone slab to a dug city foundation.

Wu Zhuang is tall and sturdy, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, coupled with the standard Chinese character face, which is very eye-catching among the new annexed army workers.

The blazing sun tanned his skin, and the muscles on the back of his shoulders were bulging with force, and beads of sweat kept seeping out of his skin, pooling, and then sliding down the hollows of the muscle lines, plowing small grooves like impressionist works on his dusty skin, and finally smashing small potholes in the dusty yellow earth, which were quickly absorbed by the cracked earth.

After carrying it to the base of the city, the two of them gritted their teeth together, and the muscles of their bodies became more and more tense to maintain balance, and carefully placed the heavy bluestone slats in the city base.

After putting the bluestone away, another pro-attached army laborer was so tired that he sat down on the ground, gasping for air. Wu Zhuang, who was also tired and sweaty and panting, did not take a break, he carefully spliced this piece of bluestone with the bluestone next to him to ensure that it was neat and straight, not crooked.

"Wu Da, you guy, you are very serious in doing things, looking at your eyes and movements, it seems to be stroking the bride." The new army laborer next to him smiled and joked to him while wiping his sweat.

Wu Zhuang smiled at him and didn't speak, but after finally carefully straightening the bluestone, Fang stood up and wiped a handful of sweat on his face, with a relaxed expression on his face.

Next, Wu Zhuang and the new attached army laborer, after pouring a few mouthfuls of water with a bamboo spoon from the bucket on the side, then went to carry a new big bluestone again, and started to move again.

The new annex laborer who walked in front of him muttered and complained. It's just that he didn't dare to say it out loud, otherwise, the salt-soaked cooked cowhide whip of the overseer not far away would make people die of pain.

Compared with the complaints of his companions, Wu Zhuang has basically adapted to his current life, and even in his heart, he is faintly grateful.

Wu Zhuang is a native of Fushan County, Pingyang Prefecture, Shanxi, and has five brothers and sisters.

Wu Zhuang has the impression that since he was a child, it is rare to eat a few full meals.

After Wu Zhuang became an adult, he embarked on the path of Li Xiao that day, became a local hunter, and chatted to get by.

At the end of the year before last, when Wu Zhuang was twenty years old, the surging flow of rogues from Shaanxi into Jin made the barren land of Fushan County forever lose its former tranquility.

Like a swarm of locusts, they burn and loot and then transfer to another state capital to continue their troubles.

As a result of the rampant outreach, the people naturally fell into great bad luck and fell into more and more dire straits.

Wu Zhuang's family, in order to escape the rogues who came to attack the village, as well as those officials and soldiers who enthusiastically killed good people and risked their merits, the family had to flee to the east in the Wuling Mountains.

Unexpectedly, they were very unfortunate to encounter the mountain bandits, except for Wu Zhuang, who accidentally stepped into the air when he escaped, so he rolled down the hill to escape, and the whole family was killed by the mountain bandits.

Wu Zhuang woke up from his coma and hurriedly escaped from the valley, but he was encountering Zhang Miao's hand passing by here. Tall in stature, he was immediately forcibly recruited into the Liukou army by Zhang Miaoshou, became a member of the new annex army, and was assigned as a subordinate of the Black Scorpion.

After becoming a rogue, Wu Zhuang has killed many officials and soldiers, and has almost been killed several times, in such a cruel life, Wu Zhuang feels as if he has become a walking corpse, except for killing and looting, he will not do anything again.

It's just that after joining the rogue, he still starves often. Because there is a clear stipulation in the rogue, if the grain is grabbed, priority is given to ensuring that the soldiers of the old battalion in Shaanxi are fed, and the other new annexes and the people who are coerced can only ensure that those who stutter will not starve to death.

Later, Wu Zhuang followed Zhang Miao's hand, at the beginning of the sixth year of Chongzhen, to the east into Beizhili, and after a few months of trouble in the south of Beizhili, in order to escape the Ming army in Beijing, a large number of rogues poured into Henan.

The next story is that, as mentioned earlier, last winter, Zhang Miao's hand, who had surrendered falsely, and other many rogues took advantage of the cold weather to fly across the Yellow River and go straight to Huguang. The Black Scorpion Department, which was arranged to be broken, was chased and killed by the Henan official army, lost the road and traveled all the way east, to the boundary of Yucheng in Guide Prefecture. Finally, some time ago, he was lured into Shandong by Li Xiao's design and surrendered in one fell swoop.

On that day, after the black scorpion was shot by Li Xiaojun's reckless guns, Wu Zhuang, who knelt down and surrendered with the other rogues, felt an indescribable sense of relief in his heart.

After watching the twenty-nine selected rogue generals who were full of evil and were taken together to kneel and cut off their heads, Wu Zhuang did not feel any grief, but only felt happy.

These rogue generals often bullied him when they were in the Black Scorpion Department that day. Just like that hair, he has repeatedly ridiculed Wu Da for refusing to slaughter the people, which is really a shame for the rebels.

When a hair was beheaded, Wu Zhuang was standing behind him and watching. When the beheading sergeant raised the machete, Wu Zhuang smelled a strong stench coming from under a hairy crotch.

A hair opened his mouth to shout words for mercy, and the beheading sergeant next to him, who was so smoked by the stench that he frowned, quickly swung his knife and cut off his ugly head.

Wu Zhuang was very emotional, a single hair, the guy who once laughed at him, this guy who had killed countless good people without blinking, this guy who used to laugh and eat human flesh, but he didn't expect that he was actually so afraid of death.

The better the murderer, the more cowardly he tends to be.

Subsequently, Liukou was divided into three divisions by Li Xiaojun, some of them were the people who had recently been coerced, some of them were the new annexed army, and some of them were the old battalion soldiers of Shaanxi.

After coming to Shanxian County, the people who were coerced and those Shanxian villagers were mixed together, and the new annexed army and the old battalion soldiers were closely guarded by their own soldiers. But on the whole, Li Xiao's soldiers guarded the old battalion soldiers more strictly, and their attitude was much worse, and they often beat these guys to cry wolves.

After the temporary grass hut of the new annexed army was built, Wu Zhuang found that the current labor force of the new annexed army had been organized into a team of every 200 people, and it was managed by a person called the warden.

These supervisors are all capable people temporarily drawn from the Department of Supervisors, and each of them is quite eloquent and agitating.

The supervisor who manages Wu Zhuang's team, named Xu Xiu, is dressed like a scholar, and his figure is also thin, but he has a sharp tongue and excellent conversation.

Every evening, after finishing work and eating, and before returning to the room to rest, this supervisor Xu Xiu led the hundred people into a circle and began to lecture them loudly.

In an impassioned tone, he loudly told Wu Zhuang that although everyone is still a captive, as long as they work hard, work hard, and use labor to wash away the past sins, they will definitely be recognized and appreciated by Lord Li Xiao, so as to become a part of Li Xiaojun, and then follow Lord Li Xiao in the future to gain a greater future and get more glory.

When this prisoner said these words, Wu Zhuang didn't feel much about them.

In this troubled world, it is not easy to live, what will happen in the future, they are accustomed to living a day by day, but they don't think too much.

It's just that after a few days, Xu Xiu and them gradually became acquainted, and the feeling of alienation and isolation between them was much weaker. This superintendent Xu Xiu finally threw out his own unique brainwashing weapon.

That is, the grievance conference.

"Wang Er, tell everyone how you became a rogue." The new annex laborers sat in a circle, and in the middle was the supervisor Xu Xiu, who said loudly to a laborer named Wang Er.

The laborer of Wang Er stood up timidly, and Xu Xiu walked over and pulled him to the middle of the circle.

Wang Er's face was embarrassed, under the gaze of the crowd, his face was red, and his mouth was screaming, but he couldn't say anything.

Someone below was snickering, but Xu Xiu patted Wang Er's arm and said to him kindly: "Wang Er, don't be nervous. You tell everyone, who forced you to become a rogue, tell everyone about the bitterness in your heart and the hatred in your heart, and tell everyone! ”

Looking at Xu Xiu's eyes of trust and encouragement, Wang Er's eyes turned red, he cried out loud, covered his face and bowed his head and sobbed: "I am a native of Wangjiazhuang in Lucheng, Shanxi, and the thieves plundered the village the year before last, and my father and mother were killed by them because of their old and weak." The whole village was also killed, and only the strong men were tied up in one place and forcibly taken away, and finally forced us to become rogues. I'm useless, I'm incompetent, in order to survive, I recognize the thief as my father, I try to survive, I kill people, I'm not a thing! Whining...... ”

There was silence on the field, and only Wang Er cried bitterly.

Xu Xiu saw that Wang Er had already entered the play, and took advantage of the situation to whisper beside him: "Wang Er, now Lord Li Xiao is willing to give you the opportunity to change your mind and be a new person, do you want to avenge your parents and the villagers in the future!" ”

Wang Er stopped crying, but his face was full of resolute anger, and he roared loudly and said, "Lao Tzu dreams of it! I want to reform well, become a soldier for Lord Li in the future, follow Lord Li, and kill all these rogue bandits! Avenge my father's mother! Avenge the whole village! ”

Xu Xiu struck while the iron was hot and shouted loudly: "Okay! The prodigal son does not change his money! I can tell you Wang Er, your idea will definitely come true. As long as you transform well, you will become a soldier of our army in the future, follow Lord Li, go to kill all the rogue bandits in the world, and kill all the Jurchen Tartars who invaded my Ming Dynasty! Avenge your parents! Avenge the folks of Wangjiazhuang! Avenge the good people who are suffering in the world!! ”

Wang Er cried loudly.

At this time, Xu Xiu saw that Wang Er's telling and crying had obviously infected the onlookers of the new annex laborers, and many of them had a look full of memories and hatred on their faces. After all, among these people who were forced to become outcasts, which one did not have a deep hatred, and which one did not have a bloody and tearful past.

In the hearts of these people, there is a powder keg of hatred, and what these prisoners have to do now is to ignite this powder keg and let it explode completely.

Only by blowing up the unbearable past can we welcome a new and brilliant future!

A voice exploded: "Supervisor Xu, I also have something to say!" ”

The crowd followed the prestige, but it was a tall laborer, with thick eyebrows locked in anger, and he stood up from the crowd with clenched fists, his face full of anger, as if it could set the air on fire.

This person is Wu Zhuang, who is strongly infected by the atmosphere at this moment.

"Very good, Wu Da, you come forward and talk about it."

Xu Xiu nodded, and motioned for him to come to the center of the circle to speak.

Wu Zhuang walked quickly to Xu Xiu's side, and immediately, a thunderous roar sounded in everyone's ears: "My name is Wu Zhuang, a native of Fushan County, Pingyang Prefecture, Shanxi, my family of seven, rented 50 acres of land, the family lives in their own right, but the hateful rogues, the officials and soldiers who kill the good and the meritorious, and the mountain bandits who seek money and kill their lives, but they don't let us live well!" At the end of last year, the rogues robbed us of all our grain and killed my family's cattle for meat. Our family fled to the mountains, and were robbed and killed by mountain bandits, and only I was able to escape. Later, I was most forced to obey the thief and became a rogue. Only now do I know how ridiculous and shameful I have lived for more than a year! ”

There was silence all around, and everyone looked directly at Wu Zhuang, who was excited and angry, with a look of sympathy and anger on his face, like the eve of a storm.

Wu Zhuang, a tall man, suddenly burst into tears, he paused, and shouted loudly: "Now that my life is good, Master Li finally showed me a clear way." Now that this Iron Dragon City is being repaired, there is food and shelter, and there is enough to eat, as long as you work hard, no one will come to beat and insult you. I, Wu Zhuang, have lived for more than 20 years, and I finally live like a fucking person. I will recognize it, from now on, I will reform well, in order to atone for my previous sins, and in the future, I will follow Lord Li to kill all the world's bandits and rebels, so that all the families in the world can live a stable life! ”

After Wu Zhuang finished speaking, he also couldn't cry.

Xu Xiu patted him on the shoulder with a smile: "Wu Zhuang, you work hard, with your body and martial arts, you will definitely be able to follow Master Li to make a great career in the future!" ”

Wu Zhuang roared: "I, Wu Zhuang, in this life and this life, I will recognize Master Li, and in the future, before and after the saddle, I will definitely follow Wu Zhuang in life and death!" ”

Wu Zhuang's speech brought the atmosphere of the scene to a climax.

The crowd around them began to boil, and many people began to cry with excitement, crying and crying to come forward and preach.

With Xu Xiu's consent, one after another of the new army laborers walked into the middle of the circle, telling the painful journey of becoming a rogue, and at the same time deeply repenting for the crimes they committed after becoming a rogue. Then, almost everyone expressed their strong desire to follow Master Li closely in the future to kill all these hateful Tartars and bandits, so that the good people of the world can live a stable life.

The night dissolved, the bright moon hung high, and the entire camp of the new annexed army was full of intense feelings, with complaints of grievances, crying, and slogans. Xu Xiu and the other prisoners' grievance meeting achieved excellent results.

This kind of grievance meeting is an ideological construction and shaping method for Li Xiao to implement it into the daily work content of the Supervision and Rehabilitation Department after repeated consideration.

This method is derived from the total of previous lives. Army, is a communist. The secret of the ideological construction of officers and men. This seemingly simple and straightforward method is an extremely effective and cost-free way to brainwash at all.

According to records, after the implementation of this method in various localities during the War of Liberation, the morale of the troops was greatly boosted, the phenomenon of deserters and rebels was greatly reduced, and the cohesion of the troops and the loyalty of the soldiers were greatly improved.

The secret of this method is to start by allowing the displaced recruits who have enlisted in the army, and the new annex laborers who are now being converted, to tell their own miserable lives in the past, so as to implant integrity, courage, honor, and loyalty in everyone's hearts.

There are some things that are too ahead of the times, such as anti-imperialist and anti-feudal, Li Xiao will not mention, and will never preach to the various supervisors of the Supervision Division, what he needs most now is to make the soldiers loyal to him, not anyone else.

On this basis, Li Xiao also wants his soldiers to understand that they are not only fighting for Li Xiao, but fighting for themselves, their families, and in the future, they will fight for the people of the country and their fame and honor!

Soldiers are the foundation of generals, and firmly grasping the hearts of soldiers is the most important and fundamental solution. Control one's mind and soul is the only way to reap the most loyal rewards.

Li Xiao believes that with such intensive brainwashing measures every day, these new soldiers who are actually quite simple rogue soldiers will definitely be able to integrate into Li Xiaojun's big family more quickly in this process of labor reform.

Time is running out, seize the day.

Seeing the smooth progress of the construction of Iron Dragon City, Li Xiao was very happy.

The day of Li Xiaojun's hard work is coming soon.

It's just that the optimistic Li Xiao didn't expect that in this seemingly calm state, a vicious conspiracy against him was quietly brewing.
