They used to wonder that they had all heard the saying that honest officials punish corrupt officials, but when it was their turn, why couldn’t they wait for honest officials?
Where is the official?
It’s meaningless to wait for the Sino-Soviet Yonglin to tell them not to wait. There are not so many "honest officials" who can do justice for you.
If you want to be free from bullying, you must unite to uphold justice for yourself.
We have swords, guns, troops and force, and we can uphold justice for ourselves and help the weak.
Don’t wait for an honest official, don’t expect an honest official.
"Last night, Wang Dahu, president of the Mopan Village Peasant Association, asked me what to do if the gold thief called back. What should they do? Do you know why he asked? Because he is afraid of worrying.
Because they have killed the gold thief just like us, there is no turning back. There is a way before them. They can choose to join us, but don’t we also have a way? Can’t we also be with them?
Who else can we be with? Southern Song Dynasty scholars, gentlemen? Those landlords and squires who robbed your land want you to die? Or the Emperor Jin Guo? Or Xu Jin Guo, who is he? No, nothing!
In this case, we should be integrated with the peasants, closely combine and help each other, and never abandon us. We are peasants, and peasants are us! We are peasant soldiers! Farmers are the masters and support farmers! "
Su Yonglin clenched his fist and made such an oath.
The officers were all excited when they looked at Su Yonglin.
They finally realized that they had the ability to do justice for themselves and even help others with their swords and guns.
They used to cry and cry for the sky’s master to uphold justice for themselves, and they no longer need that delusion.
They can kill their persecutors and fight bravely for precious freedom.
Let’s give ourselves swords and spears and uphold justice for farmers!
We have to rely on ourselves!
Su yonglin once again ordered
"Quickly inform the army of this matter, and tell the brothers that I have said everything, so that the brothers can keep in mind, and then reiterate that catch-up and military law are not allowed to plunder, and those who violate the law are not allowed to kill and forgive!
Not only that, but before I got the order to enter the army, I helped the farmers in the village cultivate the land and help them do what they could when I took it out. We can’t eat and drink some rations for free.
Since it is decided that they are the masters and join them, don’t forget that we are also farmers. Our hands can be used to produce besides killing the enemy. Remember that we are all peasant soldiers! "
"hey!"
The officers all took orders.
Chapter 42 So what is our rebellion?
Since you want to be a peasant soldier and distinguish yourself from those who unified the old army, you naturally have to do something different from the past.
So Su Yonglin told the ministries to do something to help the old farmers.
Speak with a sweet mouth, a smile on your face, a polite tone, and don’t talk with a foul face. Try your best to make the old farmers feel like enjoying the spring breeze.
Everything that can help us should be cultivated, cleaned, transported and built. Generally speaking, if we can help after training, we should help.
"Remember that we are them and they are us!"
Su Yonglin made a final summary.
"hey!"
A group of people scattered out to carry out Su Yonglin’s will and took their own soldiers to help the farmers work.
The farmers seem a little scared and don’t know what this is.
They are naturally afraid of army with swords and gun.
Although this is not an loyalist, it is a rebel.
But it seems to them that no matter whether they are loyalists or rebels, they are not good people with swords and guns.
In the Song Dynasty, the ethos of worshipping and restraining martial arts seriously divided the people and the army, which made the image of the feudal army even more negative. However, in the eyes of the people, anyone with a knife and gun was no different from bandits.
It is hard to say that there is a difference, that is, one is wearing and the other is not wearing.
Doing things is almost even more brutal because they have a Zhao official behind them and a sense of honor and birthright.
But this army is different.
Gold diggers don’t bully them, give them land, and come to help them do things …
Is this really a soldier?
It’s not a saint organization.
At first, the farmers were terrified.
They repeatedly refused to say no, but the soldiers still asked for it, and some of them snatched the work and did it themselves, which showed their sincerity
Gradually, the farmers found that these rebel soldiers with swords and guns were really working.
Not bad, very skilled, just like being a farmer before.
And when you’re done, you honestly put things back in place, then say hello and turn away without asking for anything, such as money and food.
Employees in big families have to pay a nominal amount of money or food for their work.
They really help us with nothing?
The farmers are full of surprises.
Are there really soldiers who are willing to help us with our work?
The inertia thinking brought by customs for many years can’t be reversed for a while, but Su Yonglin is willing to believe that this misunderstanding can be reversed if they are required to work hard to show their sincerity.
Of course, this army should be consistent and not deteriorate.
So Su Yonglin himself helped the farmers to carry water from wells and send it to various water tanks to set an example for all soldiers.
The atmosphere of the whole village has gradually changed, and farmers are no longer surprised and uncomfortable with the soldiers taking the initiative to help with their work.
This is a good start.
Later, Zhao Yucheng led an army to meet Su Yonglin, and he was very surprised to see that Su Yonglin was leading the army to help the middle peasants in the village.
"Since we want to get farmers’ support, we must really help farmers achieve success. If we don’t have more helpers, we must get people’s help, and they will help us, so that we can be emboldened to make gold against people."
Su Yonglin took two buckets and walked steadily along the country road. He walked all the way to an earthen house and poured the water in the bucket into the water tank.
"The old lady’s water tank is full of buckets. I put it here and I’m leaving."
Out of the low and dilapidated room came an old woman with rickets and vicissitudes of life, and her face burst into an unspeakable smile.
"Su Lang, are you tired?"
