Chapter 892: The Battle of Ningxia (5)
Chapter 892
Wang Bo's words immediately won the favor of a group of border soldiers in Ningxia Town, since they were all from the border army, everyone dared to speak. Zhao Lianhe had the courage to shout: "Since the general was also an old brother of the border army, may I ask which hero the general is?" ”
After Zhao Lianhe finished speaking, the other border troops also shouted. Wang Bo raised his hand and pressed it, and then said with a smile: "Who are we, I'll talk about this later." What I want to tell you is that we have just swept through the Hetao and broken the city of Guihua, and we will take root there in the future, and we will not stay in Ningxia Town for a long time, and we will return to the Hetao in a few days.
We are short of people now, which brother is willing to follow us to the Hetao, and can take his wife and children with us. I don't dare to say anything else, but I dare to say just one, that is, as long as you follow us, everyone can eat, everyone has land, everyone has clothes to wear, and you don't have to worry about your wife and children being poor with you, and you can't even wear pants when you go out. ”
As soon as Wang Bo's words fell, the border soldiers on the opposite side were stunned, but everyone did not have the slightest surprise, and their first reaction was nonsense. There is such a good thing, they are rolling in the border army, and they have been fooled for a long time, I don't know how many times, how can they easily believe such words.
You say it well, but when you fool everyone, it's not up to you to say it when you get to your land. Everyone is related, but no one dares to show anything.
Zhao Lianhe was ruthless and shouted loudly: "General, aren't we going to do it?" ”
Wang Bo had been observing the reaction of the border army, and knew that it would not be easy to convince these veterans. Someone happened to ask, and he smiled and said, "Brother, what you said, I don't want to go." I can still tie you up, and we're not Mongol Tartars. Besides, such a good opportunity is not something that anyone can go to.
There are many people who want to follow us to Hetao to open up wasteland and farm, and now there is no shortage of people here in Shanxi, Lao Tzu holds a piece of cake, and someone is willing to follow me to Hetao to make cattle and horses. If it weren't for Lao Tzu going out of the army around him and knowing everyone's suffering, Lao Tzu would have nothing to do to find you soldiers. Don't worry, if you don't want to go with us, when we withdraw from Ningxia Town, you can go wherever you want, and no one will stop you. ”
When these border soldiers heard this, they didn't know what to do, but everyone still didn't want to go to the Hetao. Not to mention the remoteness there. It's still so close to the grassland, who knows when the Mongols go south and they will defect to you with their wives and children, and then the whole family won't be able to run.
Wang Bo saw the indifference of these border soldiers, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, these guys really don't see rabbits and don't scatter eagles. Thinking of this, he said with a smile: "Lao Tzu was like you back then, he couldn't eat or wear. A torn jacket has been worn for more than ten years, and his wife and children are so poor that they show their buttocks when they go out. But since following my current employer. The food and salary that Lao Tzu took can feed a large family, and it is almost enough to catch up with your life's salary. Look at what Lao Tzu is wearing and what he is taking, after I followed the owner, I never stopped eating three full meals a day. With such an owner, I can't help but work hard.
Not long ago, we went on a rampage on the Monan grassland, beating those Mongolian Tatars crying and crying for their mothers, and capturing cattle, sheep and horses all over the world. Now the Tartars of the steppe have to listen to us, and we shout. They all had to come and do their bidding. Hetao is full of fertile land, go to Hetao with us, divide the land if you want to farm, and if you want to be a soldier and eat food, you can be a soldier, as long as you can endure hardships and dare to work hard, then you will not starve to death. Look at your current bear-like appearance, you don't dare to do anything, you should be poor for the rest of your life. ”
Zhao Lianhe listened to the general's words, and his heart suddenly became alive. Think about the mother-in-law and the two children in the family, it's really like what the general said, he is so poor that he can't eat, and he really shows his ass when he goes out.
Anyway, Lao Tzu is so poor, it's better to fight again. Thinking of this, he shouted loudly: "General, if we want to follow us to the Hetao, can we take care of our wives and children now, the whole family is hungry." ”
Wang Bo was worried that no one would stand up first, and when he saw that a border army had expressed his attitude, of course he wanted to buy bones. So he smiled and said: "Brother, I didn't say it, if you want to go to Hetao with us, then you don't have to stay here, go home and pick up your wife and children in a while, and we will settle them separately, as long as it is our people, we can have a bite to eat." But my ugly words are going to come to the end, our rules there are big, and you have to endure hardships, if people are lazy, I advise you not to go to Hetao. ”
Zhao Lianhe ignored the opposition of the people around him, but he still walked out of the queue without hesitation, and under his influence, some border troops who were open to the outside stood up, but most of the border troops were still indifferent.
Although there are not many people in the border army who want to go to Hetao, those hard-pressed military households who have been planting land in Ningxia Town for several lifetimes are more active. When they heard that they could divide the land and that the owner could provide them with rations until the autumn of the following year, they all enthusiastically walked out of the queue. They are different from those border troops, they at least have food and salary to follow, they are serfs to put it bluntly, and they live a very hard life in Ningxia Town.
Zhao Lianhe's hometown was in other places, and he fled to Shaanxi to become a border army and married a girl from a military family in Ningxia Town. His family is in a village near Zhenyuanguan, he has been worried about his mother-in-law and children at home, the family's grain reserves have long been bottomed out, and he originally wanted to go to the town to find his old brother to help, but he didn't expect the Far East to call.
He was put on a deck barge carrying grain, and sailed all the way north to Zhenyuanguan. He came back with a group of military households, and they all went home to pick up their wives and children. There were several dozen of them, and several fighters of the Far Eastern Army supervised on the side.
Zhao Lianhe sat on the steam deck barge, looking at the smoking iron barrel in front of him, and he had been wondering in his heart, he didn't see that this ship had sails and oars, but how could it run so fast on the water. Moreover, there are bags of grain bags piled up on each ship, more than a dozen ships are hanging together, and the grain pulled is thousands of stones, at least a few thousand stones, these thieves are really amazing.
Next to him stood a middle-aged man with an iron spear, who seemed to be the ship's escort. Zhao Lianhe tried to chat with the other party for a few words, but the middle-aged man was also a simple man, but he talked to him about some things.
Listening to that man's words, Zhao Lianhe was stupid. It turned out that this middle-aged man was still a slave who was plundered by the Mongol Tatars last year, and he suffered from old age on the grassland, and he was only rescued when the Far Eastern Army swept the grassland, which can be regarded as getting out of the sea of suffering.
Since I went to the Hetao, I have been able to eat and drink all the time, what I wear and what I use at home are all issued by the owner, and no one has bullied me there, and my life is very comfortable.
Zhao Lianhe listened to the man's words, and his heart suddenly became hot. It seems that the general didn't lie to him, and he might really be able to live a good life by following them to the Hetao. (To be continued.) )
