march to victory

There is only one main road on the left and right of Majiapo Village, and Ma Hongji's mansion is in the center of the main road.

When Li Jing attacked Majiapo Village, that is, when he reached Ma Hongji's mansion, the villagers counterattacked forcefully (accurately, the village guards should take the lead in counterattacking), and he was quickly driven out of the village.But it was precisely because of this that Ma Hongji had to bow his head and negotiate with Li Jing and the gang of bandits.

The hatred that was forged back then was so deep that now Ma Hongji personally ordered it, but the villagers acted in a tacit understanding.

If it is a sincere welcome to the team, then the people will definitely surround both sides of the street, not to mention holding small colored flags, but they will also show bright smiles and shout slogans to the troops. Will take the lead and sing and dance...

At this time, in Majiapo Village, every household hangs out lanterns, which is absolutely true.

It is true that everyone has come out.

But the problem is, for one thing, these people are only standing at the door of their own houses. Besides, the street is so clean that even a dog can't be seen... let alone a dog barking. Apparently, even the dogs were deliberately Take care of'.

Secondly, let alone chanting slogans, these people didn't even communicate with each other. The whole village was dead silent, as if haunted, which made people panic.

Thirdly, if Ma Hongji glanced over, those ordinary people who were looking at the team with a stern face would immediately smile, but the smile was so fake that anyone could see it, and the forced helplessness was obvious at a glance.

But when Ma Hongji's eyes swept away, the people immediately returned to the coldness before, and many people even stared at the team with hatred.

It can be concluded that without Ma Hongji's strong suppression, there is absolutely no need to think about what will be waiting for Li Jing and others.Compared with it, the current indifference and helplessness is already considered a kind of progress.

Li Jing and others were a little guilty and did not dare to look at the villagers: the roots that were planted back then, what kind of fruits are they bearing now? There is a heavy responsibility and a long way to go!

And Ma Hongji's complexion became more and more ugly, and the veins on his forehead were throbbing suddenly, and as he walked forward, his tone became faster and faster, which seemed to be a sign of bursting out.

What did the emperor value most?It is definitely the maintenance of power, and face is a very important point in it.

No, when he first entered the village, Ma Hongji could bear it, and would explain it to Li Jing in a low voice, but gradually, he became annoyed: I have settled the grievances with others, and I have already greeted you , you actually dare to put on such a posture with Lao Tzu, is this a slap in the face of Li Jing and the others, or a slap in the face of Lao Tzu?

"Who are you putting on a fucking face for?" Ma Hongji stood still, took a deep breath, and roared to the sky: "Why, I'm not dead yet, so what I say won't work, right?"

"Cough! Cough!"

It was old man Zhang coughing again, but this time, old man Zhang walked to Ma Hongji's side while coughing, and whispered: "Xiaoji, don't get angry, explain it well, I believe everyone will accept it."

The old man is really closer to Ma Hongji than his own son, and he never forgets to give advice. No, he reminded Ma Hongji very tactfully: Ma Hongji, Ma Hongji, you can do whatever you want at ordinary times, after all, behind closed doors, it belongs to you Even if everyone knew about it, they wouldn't mind.But now, this is in front of Li Jing and other outsiders. If you continue to act recklessly like this, people will think you are arrogant, and you will lose face—no matter what happens in the village, no one will say that the villagers , will only say how about you, the patriarch.

Hearing Mr. Zhang's reminder, Ma Hongji gritted his teeth, suppressed the violent anger in his heart, and tried to explain to everyone in a calm tone: "Folks! It's not that I, Ma Hongji, want to do this, but that we have to have a little conscience in our lives, and we have to be honest." Speaking of a grievance, there is a head and an owner, so you have to have a long-term vision, right?"

"Let me tell you that I have already investigated the ins and outs of what happened back then. I can pat my chest and assure you: Brother Li Jing seemed to be the initiator back then, but in fact, he was also forced to be helpless and coerced by others. It has to be like this, therefore, everyone should find the real murderer, but there is no need to treat Li Jing like this. After all, he also had difficulties at the time... As for the specific details, I will discuss it later. Everyone explained."

I'm afraid this so-called special explanation is probably not an explanation to the common people, but an explanation to several powerful people in the clan.

"This is one. Second, our country is now at war with little devils. Therefore, we should let go of the unhappiness of the past and focus on the future. We must fight devils together. No matter how you say it, close the door and everyone will They are all our own people."

"Third, I'm afraid there are still people who don't know that just today, a group of little devils have come to our area for activities. Moreover, they have no humanity. They kill anyone they see, rob things they see, and sleep when they see women. I didn’t treat us Chinese as human beings. I’m not making up things like this. If you don’t believe me, you can ask around. This morning, Shangjiapo Village was massacred by little devils. This afternoon, my father’s village was also massacred. Tucun..."

Speaking of this, Ma Hongji paused deliberately, as if waiting for something.

Sure enough, the first two did not have any ideological impact on the common people, but the third one immediately made the common people discuss it.

Ma Hongji waited patiently for 2 minutes before continuing: "Everyone be quiet and listen to me."

"It can be seen from this that the little devil has no intention of leaving us a way to survive, so there is no need for us to be polite to the little devil. However, the little devil has good weapons and good training, and we have a large number of people and are very concerned about the surrounding geographical environment. Familiarity, both sides have their own advantages and disadvantages. But at this time, we must unite, put aside all past grievances, and unite as one to deal with the little devil. Otherwise, I don’t think I need to say more, everyone knows that if we each If we fight among ourselves, I am afraid that there is no need for little devils to kill us, we will kill ourselves first."

"Brother Li Jing came here this time to protect us. He hopes to use his own life to lead everyone to fight devils and protect our Majiapo Village. He also uses this to make up for the mistakes he made in the past... ... Folks! Li Jing and the others want to use their lives to protect us and prove their repentance. They are already very sincere. Otherwise, he may not use it at all. Is there anything we can do for a while? But he Now that he has come, it means that he has come to repent, and we are still clinging to the old mess? Do we have to wait for the little devil to kill all our wives and children and rob us of all our food? The house burned down, and our wives and daughters were put to sleep. At that time, will we feel at ease... Folks! Compared with what the little devil did, the little grudge between us is nothing. Back then Li Jing It's not that they didn't kill us all, they just wanted money, but the little devil is not only asking for money, but also wanting to slaughter the village... Folks! Think about the consequences and compare them again, I think everyone should understand , we can only deal with the little devil together if we let go of our past grievances, otherwise, even if we are massacred in the village, it means that we have defeated ourselves... Do you understand?"

Many people nodded, but more of them were contemplative, and many people were still indifferent.It can be seen that this kind of hatred cannot be resolved with a few words. In other words, some people still cannot let go of their hatred, still do not understand the ferocity of the little devil, and still live in the concept that the village can defend itself in the past.

To put it bluntly, this kind of person has to wait until disaster strikes before he wakes up.

"Folks, I, Li Jing, have done things that I have done wrong to everyone. Now the folks have not yelled at me, Li Jing, because they are already benevolent. If it weren't for the military orders, I, Li Jing, would have no face to see the folks...I, Li Jing I dare not extravagantly ask everyone to forgive me now, and I will never make empty promises to deceive everyone. But I, Li Jing, hereby swear in the name of my Li Jing parents: As long as I, Li Jing, are alive, I will never let a little devil enter The village, I will not let the little devil harm the village. For this reason, even if I die in battle, even if I drain every drop of blood on my Li Jing, I, Li Jing, will not hesitate. Make up for the mistakes of the year, please wait and see for details.”

After finishing speaking, Li Jing bowed to all sides.

This time, what was obtained was still deathly silence, but sharp-eyed people discovered that the eyes of most of the people who looked at Li Jing with indifference or even hatred just now had changed, at least, no longer. It was so hostile before... In this era, it is still important to believe that people cannot stand without faith!Everyone still believes in oaths, especially when they are made by their parents.Some people in later generations regard swearing as a meal, but it makes people feel that anyone who believes in an oath is a fool.

"Have you heard it all? Have you seen it?" Ma Hongji immediately seized the opportunity and shouted: "Brother Li is absolutely sincere in his repentance. Now everyone's common enemy and the main enemy is the little devil, not before. Therefore, everyone should stop using such an attitude to face the heroes who are about to fight to the death with little devils and fight bloody battles in order to protect your wealth and lives, wives and children. Otherwise, not only will these people The chilling hearts of heroes will make people feel that the people in Majiapo Village have no measure. Others who have no interests will fight to the death in order to protect you, but you still insist on holding on to the past. Is it plausible?"

After saying this, the complexions of the people finally changed greatly.

An old man came out and shouted to Ma Hongji: "Patriarch, you have said that, and everyone has nothing to say. Although we can't completely forgive for a while, I believe that everyone will never play tricks in secret again. You can rest assured. Everyone agrees, right?"

"Correct!"

After all, it's my family!Fourth Uncle just knows how to cooperate with himself, no, when he said that, which common people would have the nerve to object?

"However, Li Jing, the ugly words are ahead. Today, because the patriarch spoke for you, and you have some sincerity, everyone believes in your oath just now. Therefore, everyone will keep watching you closely. If you If you fulfilled the oath, nothing to say, the previous grievances and grievances will be written off, but if you don't fulfill it..."

Li Jing didn't wait for the other party to finish speaking, and yelled directly: "Then everyone can spit at me and call Li Jing an untrustworthy villain. I have nothing to say. This is what I did in front of so many brothers. guarantee."

"Okay! That's it."
