Lord Moyu was forced to open

Chapter 359 Original Heart, White Flour Steamed Buns with Soil

"Huchi! Huchi! Huchi!"

He chewed the white flour steamed bun with big mouthfuls, filled his mouth with the aroma of wheat, and then picked up a pickle with chopsticks from the side and stuffed it into his mouth to chew together. After swallowing, he picked up the rice bowl and drank a mouthful of Bai Song soup sprinkled with oil and salt.

All the miners were eating big mouthfuls, especially Li Goudan. While eating, he found time to puff his stuffed mouth and said to Shanzi:

"Hmm...Shan...Brother Shanzi! I...know that the food for the prisoners is so good,...I...I have rioted a long time ago!
Putting it in our house, I haven't eaten this white flour steamed bun a few times even during the Chinese New Year. This steamed bun is really delicious! "

Shan Zi also ate with big mouthfuls, but he was much more popular than Li Goudan.Wen Yan nodded and shook his head and said:
"Why do you think prisoners are treated like this?
Today I secretly asked those soldiers, this is because they distributed the rations for us, so that we can eat white noodles, otherwise, the imperial court would give them, where can I give you white noodles, it would be good to give you two buns! "

"What? A soldier's ration?!"

Li Godan was startled when he heard the words, he stopped eating half of his mouth, looked at the white noodles in his hand, and saw the look of disgust on the faces of those soldiers who were also eating, Li Goudan suddenly fell into deep thought.

"What's the matter with you?"

Seeing that he suddenly stopped talking, Shanzi asked a little strangely.

Li Goudan quickly swallowed the food in his mouth, looked left and right, carefully approached Shanzi and whispered: "Brother Shanzi, look at those soldiers, I was still wondering how they ate such a good thing, and there was disgust on their faces.

Hearing what you said now, I'm afraid this is what people usually eat, and this is the expression that people eat when they eat too much good food.

Brother Shanzi, do you think we can serve as soldiers? If we become soldiers, can we also eat white noodles every day like them? "

After finishing speaking, Li Goudan looked at Shanzi with bright eyes, his face full of anticipation.

When Shanzi heard that he was actually thinking about this, his face darkened immediately, he slapped his head, and said angrily: "What are you thinking about, you don't even look at what we are now, are you still a soldier?
It's good to save your life!
Besides, do you think any soldier is treated this way?

My third uncle’s second son’s third brother-in-law’s little nephew is stationed in Wuxi County next door to Daxing County as a garrison, and their food in the garrison is not as good as ours!

That day, the Shangguan not only had to deduct military pay and food, but also sometimes had to farm for the Shangguan. When the powerful people in the county were short of people, they would go to the Shangguan to transfer them to errands.

Not only that, but you have to prepare your own food when you go on an errand, if it is too full, if someone hits you directly, you have nothing to reason with!
Do you think being a soldier is a good thing? "

Li Goudan was taken aback after hearing this, he never imagined that the soldier who vomited after eating white flour steamed buns every day would have such a miserable life.

But look at the soldiers of the Pingwa Army who ate half of the white flour steamed buns behind them and couldn't eat it, and put the remaining half in their arms. Question marks popped up on their foreheads?

Seemingly seeing his confusion, Shanzi curled his lips and said, "Do you know where this army came from?"

Li Goudan suddenly asked curiously: "Where did you come from?"

Shanzi carefully looked left and right and saw that no one noticed this place before whispering: "This is not the army of the imperial court, although it is also an official army, but I heard that it is the army of a certain vassal king!
The emperor had no soldiers to use, so he borrowed it from the vassal king!

Think about it, even the emperor asked him to borrow troops, how powerful is this vassal king?

His soldiers must be much better than the imperial court in terms of food and use!

I also heard from those soldiers who were chatting that they had at least ten acres of land in the feudal lord's land!
Those white noodle steamed buns are enough to make you vomit!
This is also marching, otherwise when people are in the same place, at least two meals a day will be eaten with meat! "

"hiss!"

Li Goudan gasped suddenly.

Ten acres of land!Twice a day!White noodle steamed buns until you vomit!

What a fairy day this is!

Serving as a soldier for this feudal lord is so cool!
Seeing his shocked appearance, Shanzi hummed twice and then whispered: "Do you think it's over?
Do you know how much their monthly military pay is? "

Li Goudan immediately asked, "How much?"

Shan Zi held up three fingers and said in a low voice: "A full three taels of silver! This is just the basic silver of the most common big-headed soldiers!

They also have subsidies during the war, and they have all rice, flour, grain and meat during the New Year. They even give out some annual money before the Chinese New Year. The most ordinary soldiers can give nine taels of silver in one go, which is equivalent to three months of military pay!
The higher the level, the more rewards! "

Li Goudan was stunned for a moment, all he could think about was three taels a month!Three or two a month!There is still money for the New Year, and rice noodles, grain and oil are also given during the usual festivals!

Shan Zi's words were not over yet, he continued: "Not only that, although the training in the military camp is hard, but all the food, drink and clothing are provided by the army, you don't need to spend a penny, that is, you can give all the three taels of military salary to your family.

And if there are children in the family, it is also said that they also have an allowance for children of the military, and a child has five renminbi a month!
In addition, some prince's fief has already started to build a school. As long as the children who are soldiers go in, they don't need to be trained. The prince will allocate funds for your children to study.

There is also a monthly quantitative supply of pens, inks, papers and inkstones, etc.

It can be said that as long as you become the prince's soldier, not only you, but even your family and children will be raised by the prince for you!
You said that these soldiers can not give their lives to the prince, can they not be powerful? "

Li Goudan was completely stunned, and he couldn't help muttering when he heard this:

"I'm willing to change it for me! Why didn't the prince be appointed to our place? If it were here, I would be the first to serve as a soldier for him!"

"Don't worry about it, we are captives now, it's hard to be their soldiers!"

Brother Shanzi's words made Li Goudan wake up from his fantasy, and looked at his own situation, feeling powerless for a while.

But a small seed has been quietly buried in his heart.

Meanwhile, similar conversations rang out among other miners.

There are always some people who can overhear the conversations of the soldiers of the Pingwa Army when they "chat unintentionally".

And after these people told the conversation they heard, they gradually planted seeds one by one in the hearts of everyone.

It laid some foundations for their future choices...

……

Chinese army tent.

"How about it?"

While dealing with military affairs, Li Dingguo asked a sergeant who was kneeling on one knee below.

This is an army commander who is relatively easy to use under his command.

"Back to the general, the news has been revealed, and it should have been spread among all the prisoners by now!"

The army commander replied respectfully.

Li Dingguo nodded, then put down the pencil in his hand, raised his head and asked:

"What are the reactions?"

The army commander recalled it for a while and then affirmed: "It's all a dream!"

"Looking forward?" Li Dingguo murmured.

The commander of the army nodded affirmatively and replied: "Almost everyone is envious after hearing the treatment of our Pingwa Army. Most of them want to join our Pingwa Army as a soldier. It can be seen that they are very satisfied with our conditions!"

Li Dingguo smiled slightly: "Can you be dissatisfied?

As far as our conditions are concerned, among all the forces in the surrounding area, no matter if it is the Tatar Huns, the various frontier troops of the imperial court, or even the forbidden army, none of them are better than the conditions given by the prince!

You guys are still picking and choosing, and you don’t want to eat a good big white steamed bun. Have you forgotten the days when you didn’t even have to eat tree bark? "

The army commander suddenly scratched the back of his head in embarrassment:

"Hey, General, it's not like the appetites of the brothers have been spoiled. When I was in the county, I ate meat every day. Now that I have no meat, I feel a little uncomfortable chewing that steamed bun."

Li Dingguo snorted coldly and said: "Hmph, not used to it?

You ask those captive miners, can they adapt?

You don't cherish the things that others dream of. If it weren't for our lord being kind to the soldiers, people like you would have starved to death long ago, and it would be your turn to pick and choose! "

Regarding this, the army commander had no choice but to scratch his head and laugh dryly, not daring to answer, because he knew what the general said was right, and the big guy is indeed a bit pampered recently.

It's only been two days since I ate meatless food, and now I have opinions. The general is beating himself.

And today the general deliberately let himself disclose the treatment of the Yunzhou Army. I am afraid that in addition to letting those prisoners plant the seeds of longing for the Yunzhou Army in their hearts, I am afraid that more is also for the brothers to see.

Most of the treatment you don't like is that people want to top it, don't be dissatisfied, otherwise your current treatment will be taken away immediately!

Although General Li didn't say it clearly, the commander of the army could feel it clearly, and he also knew that he really had to beat his subordinates.

If it is too much and offends the boss, I am afraid that life will be really difficult in the future.

After reporting the news, the army commander quickly withdrew from the camp, while Li Dingguo waited for him to go out and took out half a steamed bun covered with soil from his arms, looked at it blankly for a long time, and then ate it in big mouthfuls.

He picked it up at noon, and it was absolutely impossible for the captives to throw the steamed buns, so it was obvious who threw them.

The soldiers now are indeed living a good life, but their hearts are not as simple as before.

This is white flour food, even if you want to eat it before, you don't have to eat it.

Li Dingguo still remembers that when he was a child, his father happily brought back a white flour steamed bun during the Chinese New Year, saying that it was a reward from the landlord who worked, and then the three members of the family shared the food.

Although there are very few white noodle steamed buns, it is even less to divide them into three parts, but at that time Li Dingguo decided that this was the best thing he had ever eaten.

Tears slipped quietly from the eyes, and fell drop by drop on the white flour steamed buns that were stained with dirt, and were swallowed by Li Dingguo with big gulps.

father!mother!
My son now eats white flour steamed buns every day, but...you are all gone...

……

"You bastards! What's wrong with the steamed buns? Who doesn't want to eat them? Stand up! Also! Whoever threw the steamed buns at noon stand up for me!"

Cao Yi was the commander of the First Army under Li Dingguo's command. After he walked out of Li Dingguo's tent, he immediately came to the army, mobilized all the soldiers stationed in the area that Li Dingguo had inspected in the afternoon, and began to yell with his hands behind his back!
Everyone lowered their heads and no one spoke.

Seeing this, Cao Yiqi didn't want to fight anywhere, so he flicked the whip in his hand!
crackle!

The whip twitched, and a whip sounded in the air.

Cao Yi said coldly:
"Do you think this is just a small thing?

Do you think that what you lost today was just a white flour steamed bun?

No!That's not just a steamed bun!That's a life!

Is a living hope!
Wasting food?Thank you for making it!

You have forgotten what your origin is, don't you want me to accompany you to remind me? !

Wang Datou!out! "

Cao Yimeng yelled loudly, and the first Pingwa soldier in the first row stepped forward and responded loudly:
"To!"

Cao Yi gave him a cold look, then sank down and said, "Do you still remember where you came from before you joined the Yunzhou Army and what your family background is? Speak up and tell the general to the whole army!"

Wang Datou was taken aback for a moment, and then his eyes fell into memory. After a while, he seemed to understand something. Just as he was about to lower his head, he heard Cao Yi yell:
"Datou Wang! Answer the general's question!"

Wang Datou immediately stood at attention, his eyes gradually turned red.But still he answered loudly:
"Returning to Commander, I am Yunzhou County, who fled from Hejiagou in Liaobei County. My family used to be poor, and I couldn't eat a full meal all year round.

In the year of escape, there was a severe drought, all the wheat seedlings in the field died, and the parents of the family also starved to death. They couldn't help but gnawed on the bark all the way and followed the flow of people to Yunzhou County! "

Cao Yi nodded: "Very well, then let me ask you! Is the bark delicious?"

Wang Datou said with red eyes: "It's not delicious!"

"How about white flour steamed buns?" Cao Yi continued to ask.

“White flour steamed buns are a thousand times more delicious!”

Wang Datou said.

Cao Yi nodded, then shouted loudly:
"Then tell me, you could eat bark that was so unpalatable back then, why can't you eat white flour steamed buns now?
Is it because the prince is too kind to you, or is it because Wang Datou feels that he is drifting away, that even the white flour steamed buns can't satisfy your appetite?
How dare you secretly throw it away!

Do you know how many people want to eat this bite and don't have to eat it?

What is the difference between you like this and those old landlords and riches in your hometown!
Are you a rich landlord? ! "

That's right!It was Wang Datou who threw the steamed bun. After seeing Li Dingguo pick up the steamed bun, Cao Yi immediately started to investigate secretly, and soon found out that Wang Datou was on duty here before that.

Moreover, there were eyewitnesses who saw Wang Datou throwing the steamed bun on the ground reluctantly.

Cao Yi's scolding immediately made Wang Datou's eyes reddened, and he knelt down with a plop!
"General! I was wrong! I, Wang Datou, is not a human being, I forgot about my origin! I actually wasted food, and I will accept whatever you want to do with me!"

Cao Yi snorted coldly, walked slowly in front of Wang Datou, knelt down and said coldly, "Do you know who picked up that steamed bun?"

Wang Datou raised his head, showing a searching look.

Cao Yi said in a deep voice:
"I was picked up by the general. I have never seen such a general. When I fought the Tatars head-on, the general's hand didn't even shake!
But when the general picked up the steamed bun you threw at noon today, I saw with my own eyes that his hands were shaking so badly!
How many people in our army have fled, and how many family members have starved to death. Your behavior is not only a great harm to yourself, but also to those brothers whose family members are starved to death! "

Wang Datou collapsed on the ground with a plop, tears streaming down his face uncontrollably, and he began to sob silently.

Cao Yi stood up, raised the whip in his hand, and said coldly: "In view of the severity of your behavior, I will give you twenty whips! Do you have any comments!"

Wang Datou shook his head silently, and buried his head in the ground, wishing he could find a crack in the ground and get in.

The guilt in his heart made him feel ashamed.

Cao Yi snorted coldly, raised the whip in his hand, and whipped it down mercilessly!
crackle!

With a bang, the whip slammed on Wang Datou's back fiercely, and a muffled groan came out of Wang Datou's mouth. The severe pain made him almost cry out, but he gritted his teeth tightly and did not make a sound.

This is what I should do. I have to bear the consequences of the stupid things I do!
In this regard, Wang Datou has a very clear understanding and a sense of responsibility.

crackle!crackle!crackle!

The cracking of the horsewhip kept ringing, and it hit Wang Datou's body one after another. Wang Datou groaned, but he gritted his teeth and did not make a sound.

But all of this made the many Pingwa Army officers and soldiers who were watching on the sidelines feel as if they were being smoked on themselves. Thinking of their performance in the past two days, they all lowered their heads in shame.

Wang Datou is not the only one who has forgotten his heart, they just didn't throw away food like Wang Datou, but it doesn't mean they haven't forgotten the moment they once had.

But today's scene showed the past to everyone again, reminding them of their past and understanding their mistakes in these days.

The twenty lashes ended quickly, and after the last lash, Cao Yi gave a cold snort and put the whip back behind him, then turned and left.

When his figure disappeared, the crowd who hadn't dared to move rushed up and helped Wang Datou up.

"Boss, are you alright?"

"Big head, it doesn't matter, I'll find you a military doctor right away!"

"Big head..."

Wang Datou waved his hand with difficulty, pushed the crowd away from him, and then cupped his hands to the crowd and said: "I deserve it all, I just hope you can take me as a warning in the future, and don't make the same mistakes again."

After finishing speaking, he didn't let others help him, endured the pain all over his body and walked towards his tent with difficulty.

Everyone silently watched his leaving back, and no one spoke for a while.

It took a while before someone said: "Are we wrong?"

"Wrong, really wrong!"

someone answered.

There was another silence, and the soldiers who had been summoned this time silently returned to their posts and continued to stand guard, but now they seemed to be different from before.

In the afternoon, the official ship for transporting grain finally arrived, and dozens of large ships with more than 3000 materials loaded with supplies finally arrived from Bianjing to Bian'an County.

The captive miners who had rested all morning finally had work to do!
