Chapter 827: The Great Drama
In anyone's opinion, Zhou Shaoyu's choice to run back to Wuxian and Chenghui Prefecture in the south at this juncture is a disregard for the overall situation, which means that the good situation that is easy to occur in the state will be in vain.
Never underestimate the power of a leader, even if that leader is worthless.
People often say that the emperor is a pro-conquest, I have to admit that this move is risky, but it is indeed the most morale-boosting, in addition to having the backbone, there is also because the emperor is not far away, I can't say that my heroic performance was seen and then promoted to make a fortune?
People, how can you not have some ideas.
Zhou Shaoyu's prestige is very high now, especially Jincheng, just imagine, a place occupied and invaded by foreigners, can life be good? Almost everyone is hopeless.
However, Zhou Shaoyu came, not only to protect their safety, but also to try their best to keep them fed and clothed, and to endure hardships, so that they know how to cherish and be grateful.
But if Zhou Shaoyu is not there, and the time to attack Taiyuan just happens, then these people, even if they are still willing to work hard, will inevitably be apprehensive in their hearts, and their psychology will be affected, and the impact on combat power will naturally be great, and they will be more prone to bad phenomena such as rout.
Yes, Zhou Shaoyu decided to go back to Wuxian, how could it be unwise, after all, as he himself said, even if he went back, it might not be of any use, who made the girls so powerful, and it was not as good as a Zhou Shaoyu.
But in fact, I was very worried that Chen Shuozhen's matter was definitely true, but the decision to make this move was also deliberate.
It's not just that the country can fight again, but more importantly, its own attitude towards the girls.
It is true that under the special circumstances of Bingzhou, even if Zhou Shaoyu continues to stay in Bingzhou, no one will say anything, and it is not cold, but it is inevitable that he will feel uncomfortable, and he can't think about it, and if he doesn't make a good fuss, he will directly think that Zhou Shaoyu pulled them over to the beam, one is for beauty, and the other is to help him fight the country, and then when he chooses one of the two, Zhou Shaoyu chose the latter.
Well, once the girls subconsciously have this idea, you just wait to gradually drift away.
It's not an ordinary woman who has no opinions and no ability, and she has to wait to be by your side.
Zhou Shaoyu certainly believes in the relationship between him and the girls, but this is not a reason, feelings are never used to test, in the case of obviously avoiding the test, you have to try to see how deep the feelings are, there is a hole in the head. No matter how much the relationship behind you is, it can't stand the test again and again, and you will get tired of it and be alienated.
On the other hand, if Zhou Shaoyu resolutely chooses to go back, even if the girls don't say it, can they not be moved in their hearts? The attitude of care is here, everyone will be comfortable, and the cohesion of the girls has also been greatly improved.
Look, how nice.
This has nothing to do with scheming, more precisely, it should be to maintain the feelings between the girls.
What's more, in terms of his own heart, Zhou Shaoyu also values girls more than Jiangshan.
The sooner the better, the sooner you go, the sooner you go, the more likely you are to come back early. But there are some things that must be arranged in advance.
For example, the issue of people's hearts.
is still the same sentence, Zhou Shaoyu is here, the backbone is there, and the people are more willing to die, if Zhou Shaoyu is not there, morale will inevitably plummet, and if it is not good, there will be something 'Zhou Shaoyu is afraid of death, so he dare not come in person' Yunyun, then the impact will be even greater.
It was night, the moon was dark and the wind was high, but Zhou Shaoyu and the girls did not sleep.
Soon after, a raging fire suddenly ignited in the granary of the city, and the fire dragon almost illuminated the entire Jincheng.
The state pastoral government responded very quickly, organizing people to fight the fire almost immediately, and Yang Miaozhen also led thousands of troops to carry out rescue and isolation work to prevent the fire from spreading.
However, the fire was so great that not much food or grass was saved.
The people of Jincheng were stunned, as the so-called mango planted for three days to see wheat stubble, in the granary, but the wheat that had just been harvested for a long time was gone?
Although every family has retained it, after all, Zhou Shaoyu is not like Huofeng, who first collects it all and then divides it evenly. But in the end, they worked hard to grow it. It also included all the wheat harvest grown by the army itself, and the fire almost burned to the ground.
That's how it can be good.
Of course, the people will not go hungry, but the guarantee of their safety is that this army with better military discipline is getting better, is it possible to make the army hungry? So who will protect them.
In other words, will Zhou Shaoyu issue a decree to forcibly requisition grain and grass?
For a while, people were panicked.
"Look at the idea you come up with." Zhou Shaoyu yawned and looked tired, he was busy all night, and he didn't have time to rest at all, and he had to go out to perform a big show at this time. As for this, it was said to Wu Meiniang.
"What else could it be? That's the only way to act, unless you don't leave, there is nothing else you can do to inspire the people. Wu Meiniang didn't care, pouted, it's really easy to come up with an idea.
Zhou Shaoyu smiled and shook his head, he didn't mean to blame, to be honest, Wu Meiniang's strategy was quite good.
In front of the east city wall of Jincheng, tens of thousands of people gathered together under the organization of the army, and the original noisy area was instantly quiet after Zhou Shaoyu appeared in the city, and everyone was waiting for Zhou Shaoyu's meaning, such a thing happened, eighty percent still have to levy grain, otherwise the army has no food, how to maintain the stability of Jincheng.
How much is resistant, it is easy to collect a full warehouse of grain, and no longer need to be hungry, but in the blink of an eye, you have to save money and frugality, and it is simply whining.
It's just that I never thought that Zhou Shaoyu appeared together, and Zhou Zaixing, who was tied up with five flowers.
Zhou Zaixing's appearance at the moment was very embarrassed, his hair was messy, his face was blackened, and the clothes on his body were whipped to pieces, revealing blood marks and oozing blood.
In order to let the people below see more clearly, Zhou Shaoyu even ordered someone to tear down a section of the wall on the wall, so as not to block the view.
Zhou Zaixing's reputation in Jincheng is not low, and he is also the nominal supreme commander of the army, originally this alone is not enough to be a household name, but Zhou Zaixing is in Jincheng, and he also has the title of 'Yue Lao'.
It's also funny, this matter is also an unintentional move, because the imperial court 'sent' a large number of displaced people, and most of the gender is women, this once gave Zhou Shaoyu a headache, and it was easy to arrange it.
But there are still a lot of problems, even if they are arranged together in pairs and threes to take care of each other, but after all, they are all women, and many jobs are not good or even not at all, for example, if you let them cut down a tree by themselves, the problem is not big, what can be made from trees, catch the blind!
So Zhou Zaixing had an idea.
In the barracks, there are all big and coarse people, big men, and a few of them can sew and make shoes by themselves, at most they will weave straw sandals. The uniforms issued by the unified are good to say, they are the wear-resistant fabrics used, and they may not have a good degree of familiarity, at least there are no holes or the like, but if they are allowed to change their clothes, tsk, standing together one by one, it is like an army of beggars.
Besides, no matter how wearable the clothes are, I can't help but wear them all the time, and after a long time, even the military uniforms will begin to become beggars, so how can I do it.
So Zhou Zaixing opened his mind and proposed a military-civilian mutual aid day, where the soldiers went to help those women do more heavy work, which was not only regarded as training physical strength and promoting discipline, but because of the presence of women, they were all in good spirits. The women helped the soldiers sew and mend it, and if they had a heart, they could tie a few pairs of cloth shoes and the like.
This has come and gone, and it has become a lot of pairs, and because most people have no elders in their families to call the shots, and although Zhou Zaixing is in a high position, he is very close to the people when he fights with the low-level soldiers, so he is a matchmaker and a substitute for a high hall.
Good guy, it's hard to think of being famous now, who in Man Jincheng doesn't know the name of Zhou Zaixing Yuelao.
To get back to the point, there was a fire in the granary last night, and it was none other than Zhou Zaixing who was on duty at that time, so it is not difficult to understand that he appeared in such an embarrassed appearance.
Acting normally, Zhou Shaoyu was indignant at Zhou Zaixing, and even repeatedly drew his sword with the intention of killing Zhou Zaixing, if it wasn't for the people around him, I am afraid that he would be killed.
Well, that's what it looks like to outsiders anyway.
If it's someone else, forget it, if you make such a big mistake, it's not too much to cut your head ten times, but the problem is, this is the old Zhou Zaixing, and some of the people present are because of Zhou Zaixing's family, and they all remember their feelings, and they can't bear to watch Zhou Zaixing being slaughtered anyway.
So Hulala knelt down and wanted to intercede for Zhou Zaixing.
However, before he could speak, Zhou Shaoyu's words changed, and he actually began to sin himself!
He is the master, Zhou Zaixing is a servant, the people below made mistakes, he didn't do a good job, and the name is the master and servant, but he is actually a brother, Zhou Shaoyu said that he really can't do it, and he really wants to kill Zhou Zaixing.
Okay, who was angry and wanted to kill people just now?
However, the super boss would rather sin himself, take all the sins and protect the people below, this attitude still satisfies many people, although helpless, but what if something has happened?
I thought that even if this matter was revealed, it must have been when Zhou Shaoyu ordered the requisition of grain, but Zhou Shaoyu made an amazing move.
The scarf was pulled, his long hair fluttered, he sat on the edge of the city wall, and said loudly: "Zhou knows that his sin is unforgivable, but Zhou has a heavy responsibility, and he wants to save more people in the world, so that everyone can live a prosperous life in Antai, I am really unwilling to die like this, forgive Zhou for being cheeky, I am willing to cut my hair as the head, and for the time being, I will resist this sin, and leave a useful body to wear a meritorious service, come and cut all this hair!" ”
To be honest, cutting the hair as the head, from the perspective of later generations, is even a little funny, originally, who hasn't cut their hair? I can't remember the number of times, can this thing replace the head?
However, in ancient times, this was the case, and the parents who received the skin of the body should not be abandoned. Except for the necessary care, no one will cut it like this. Of course, it's impossible to really replace the head, and you can't let a murderer shave his head and be punished, then the world will be in chaos.
But in terms of etiquette, especially for the upper class, this trick is still very useful.
In itself, Zhou Shaoyu is not a heinous villain, on the contrary, his benevolent name is praised all over the world, and he can be regarded as the benevolence of the people here in Jincheng. And the reason for this matter lies in Zhou Zaixing's 'dereliction of duty', which has nothing to do with Zhou Shaoyu, and Zhou Shaoyu has a relationship.
However, in order to protect Zhou Zaixing, and at the same time give everyone an explanation, how not to shock people by twisting all their hair.
"Don't, adults! It is better to die to apologize for the sin! Zhou Zaixing was the first to shout against it, and at the same time struggled to get up and jump directly off the city tower.
"Stop him!" Zhou Shaoyu also hurriedly yelled, fortunately he was pulled in time, but at that moment, Zhou Zaixing rushed out with half of his body, and Zhou Shaoyu was in a cold sweat on his back, good guy, we are acting, don't play really!
"I've made up my mind, come quickly, and cut off this hair with me." Zhou Shaoyu said resolutely: "What, no one moved?" You, come here, do it! ”
"The subordinates don't dare!" Poof, the low-level general who was pointed out suddenly knelt down.
"Rubbish! You, you come! ”
"My subordinates will never dare!" Poof, kneel again.
As for Zhou Zaixing, he was already moved to cry at the moment, desperately shouting 'no'.
Now, the people below finally reacted, good guys, really? Do you really want to cut it?
So Hulala knelt down one after another, shouting loudly, "I can't cut it", "I'm willing to raise food and grass", well, the scene was suddenly lively, naturally, there must be a support in it!
However, it doesn't work, it seems to work very well, but this is only temporary, and only when it is actually done, it will have a profound impact. So Zhou Shaoyu took a short dagger and sharpened it himself, and the effect was naturally not bad, and it was very ugly.
But the effect reached the extreme, and most of the people who cried were crying, and the rest of the people who didn't cry were holding back the moist eyes.
Such a benevolent person, how can he not be moved and admired.
At this point, it should be over, no!
Zhou Shaoyu solemnly promised that he would never pay more than a penny of grain to the people, and this loss was borne by him Zhou Shaoyu, even if he knelt down and begged for help, he would make up for the deficit of grain and grass.
Then the Secretary for Parliament was formed, and in his absence, all decrees were to be voted on by the Secretary for Parliament. As for the composition of the personnel, of course, it is an odd number, and it is also forcibly added to the sisters, on the surface, the number of sisters is one less, but Zhao He, who is on the men's side, is 'his own person', in other words, it is the girls who call the shots.
As for Zhou Zaixing, if he didn't say anything, he couldn't say anything, so he was directly relieved of his position as a general, demoted to a pawn, and started again from the bottom.
Of course, with Zhou Zaixing's current skills and abilities, he will soon rise again, and no one will feel inappropriate, he is a senior general, and he is quite popular with all the soldiers.
A big drama ended, Zhou Shaoyu was not light, but it was worth it.
In this way, Zhou Shaoyu has a legitimate reason to leave Jincheng, and he is still running around for Jincheng, although it is still not as good as being in Jincheng, but in any case, it is better than leaving directly.
