The next day, Zhou Shixiang overslept, Lin Wan'er didn't dare to call him, and when he woke up, it was already three poles in the morning, and after eating a few mouthfuls of porridge cooked by Lin Wan'er, Zhou Shixiang hurriedly went out.
The people who carried grain to the village came back, and pulled back a total of two carts of grain, totaling less than 20 stones, and also brought back all the goods that Hu Boss and they had robbed before, including hard currency such as silk satin, gold and silver jewelry, as well as two sacks of salt, half a bag of tobacco leaves, a bag of oilseeds, and half a pig made into bacon, two sheep that were not slaughtered, and a lot of pots and jars were also brought back, and there were even a few women's bandeau breasts, which were pulled directly from other people's bodies.
Or some guy with a fetish brought it back.
In short, there is a mess of everything, and it looks like the stalls set up in the countryside in later generations, and it is very dazzling.
Looking at the few guys who were tired and panting but had a sense of accomplishment, Zhou Shixiang really couldn't open his mouth to scold them for fooling around, and brought back useless things, but he couldn't praise them for doing a good job, he was impatient to count these "thieves", so he called someone to invite Song Xianggong over, and then pulled the leading man aside to ask about the women, but was told that everyone was gone.
Let's go Zhou Shixiang was stunned, and then remembered that he had told those women to leave the village, and his heart was immediately relieved: those women were originally snatched into the village by Boss Hu and them, and they would naturally not stay if they had the opportunity to leave.
After asking the little mute if he had also gone and received a positive answer, Zhou Shixiang sighed, a little lost and a little worried: the little girl is still young, I don't know if there are relatives in this world, if there are no relatives, where can she go to this chaos, and how can she survive as a little girl With this worry, when Song Xianggong brought someone over to receive the food, Zhou Shixiang asked him about the specific situation of the little mute, and wanted to know if the little girl still had a home to return to.
"That girl was picked up on the way back from Xinhui last year, she was a mute, covered in blood, asked her if she didn't know anything, estimated that the family was killed, and the little girl escaped alone.
Boss Hu saw that she was pitiful, so he asked her to follow the group and be a little maid on weekdays. ” Song Xianggong knew that Zhou Shixiang was worried about the little mute, but there was only so much information he knew, and he really couldn't help Zhou Shixiang.
Zhou Shixiang frowned and said: "So, this girl has no relatives in the world."
Song Xianggong shook his head and said: "If there were relatives, we wouldn't have taken her back to the village last year, and let her go home directly."
Such a young girl, and the brothers are not brutes, where would they spoil her?
” "Then where will she go" Zhou Shixiang became more and more worried about the little mute.
"The women in the village are usually nice to her, so she must have gone with them."
Seeing Zhou Shixiang's worried face, Song Xianggong also sighed lightly, and then persuaded him: "Okay, I know that the virtuous brother can't bear that little girl, but now we are too busy to take care of ourselves, even if you get people back, what can you do if you let her girl follow our group for the rest of her life, let's go, I can't say which family will take in this girl, and I can marry after two years of family affairs, how can this day be better than following us." ” Song Xianggong said this, and Zhou Shixiang thought about it, so he put away his thoughts and asked him instead: "Qi Yuantai, they sent the rest of the grain over."
"Gang Lu talked back and forth for a long time, saying that it would be delivered in an hour."
Song Xianggong said as he instructed the people to unload the grain, and then took the account book to register it.
Zhou Shixiang couldn't help on the side, so he went to find Boss Hu.
The entire area near the east gate was designated as the Taiping camp by Song Xianggong, and the rear camp where the old and weak women and children were located occupied most of the houses, and the original place of the tent was divided into a school field.
"Brother Zhou is here" Seeing Zhou Shixiang, Boss Hu showed a cool smile, stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder, and joked to him: "I slept soundly last night" Ge Wu also said with a wicked smile: "That girl of the Lin family can enjoy it, but the number one beauty in Luo Dingcheng, if it weren't for the eldest brother and Mr.
Song pointing it out to Brother Zhou, the brothers would also want to have fun." ” "Ahem" Zhou Shixiang snorted, didn't tell them about it, and asked Boss Hu how the soldiers were trained.
Speaking of business, Boss Hu pulled Zhou Shixiang up the city wall, and then signaled Zhao Sihai and the bald man below to practice for Zhou Shixiang to see.
Zhao Sihai and Bald Man did not surprise Zhou Shixiang at all in their training, and they had typical characteristics of the times, and the commanders of each army were either holding whips or wooden sticks in their hands, and once the recruits did not obey their orders, they would be beaten immediately.
However, these recruits, who were still civilians yesterday, did not have any dissatisfaction with the beating, and there were no complaints on their faces, but they trained extremely hard.
Some of the recruits were taller and stronger than the captain and the team leader, but after being beaten, they also had a smile on their faces, and they didn't dare to show the slightest dissatisfaction.
This is the difference between those who have killed people with a knife and those who have not killed people with a knife, Zhou Shixiang only looked at it a few times, and he understood why this happened, in essence, these soldiers are actually ordinary people, ordinary people face murderers, even if the number of the other party is pitiful less than them, they will habitually obey, instead of resisting.
This is also the national inferiority of the Han people, to put it nicely, it is called law-abiding, unwilling to make trouble, and the ugly point is that they are timid and afraid of things, born cowardly, and expect others to come forward when they encounter problems, but they want to be a bystander, only willing to sit back and enjoy their success, and do not want to fight for it with their own hands.
Even if their own relatives have suffered injustice, they will count on the help of others, rather than coming forward to seek justice for their loved ones.
Such a mentality naturally led to countless tragedies in the history of the Han people, such as a few Hu people and Qing army widows dared to run away with thousands of people, and dozens of foreign races dared to slaughter hundreds of Han people, but none of the Han people dared to resist, and they were waiting for others to resist, and the result was that all of them were killed.
The fundamental reason for this phenomenon is also that the martial spirit of the Han people was artificially emasculated by the rulers of previous dynasties, because what the rulers needed was this kind of obedience to the people, not brave men who dared to draw their swords to help when they saw injustice.
Whether this submissive national character is good or not, Zhou Shixiang does not dare to judge without authorization, at least, under the leadership of a strong man, the Han people will burst out with great power, and this power can crush all enemies.
And for him, he needs this kind of person, not the kind of brave man who dares to resist injustice at any time.
It is a very simple fact, if all the recruits on the school field below dare to be dissatisfied with the whipping of the Shangguan and resist, then this soldier does not need to recruit, let alone practice, and it is useless to practice.
The army is based on obedience as the first criterion, and what kind of battle can an army that does not obey orders fight The training is very simple, the team is holding a small flag in the forehand, the flag is raised to move forward, the lower finger is to stop, and the cross throw is running.
Other than that, there was no other movement, not even hitting, slashing, or slashing.
This surprised Zhou Shixiang, he also thought that in addition to beating and scolding, Boss Hu and their training were to let the soldiers shout with knives and guns.
Seeing that Zhou Shixiang's face was puzzled, Boss Hu couldn't help laughing and said, "Brother Zhou, does it feel child's play when you look at it?"
Zhou Shixiang didn't speak, he was thinking about what was the purpose of only practicing these three movements.
Boss Hu had already explained to him, he said: "Brother, I have also worked in the army for a few years, and I know how to train soldiers, Brother Zhou also said, what we need now is that these soldiers can listen to us, so I let them practice these three movements, if they want to go forward, they will stop, if they want them to run, as long as they understand the flag and know how to act according to the flag."
As for the rest, hey, I really don't need to practice, but we practice, and they are still useless on the battlefield after ten days and a half a month or even half a year. ” "Why is that?"
Zhou Shixiang was surprised, in his previous life, recruits could be brought to the battlefield after three months of training, but why did Boss Hu say that the following people could not go to the battlefield after training for half a year.
"This soldier is killed with real knives and guns, not by practicing some fancy skills.
In the past, when the old prince was training his troops, he was impatient to ask the soldiers to tie a wooden stake and cut and kill there, but directly grabbed some prisoners on death row and asked them to come forward and stab them directly.
Don't say it, it's ruthless, but as long as this soldier is stained with blood, he will not be afraid of going to the battlefield in the future, let alone faint blood, and he will be a veteran if he rolls a few times in the corpse pile, and he is a top elite."
Boss Hu talked about the events of the year, very spiritual, "You just said that I, I didn't understand anything back then, and I joined the army with some kung fu under my hands, and I really didn't know anything in the army, and the officials didn't teach us anything.

Get close to the enemy, all follow the veterans to learn, the veterans roll, we roll, the veterans cut, we cut, the veterans run, we also run, a few times down, I also became a veteran, and then I was selected by the old prince as a pro-soldier.
So, this soldier is not trained, but killed with real swords and real guns.
You're a fool who has seen a few times on the battlefield, and you know how to save your life and how to kill. ” Boss Hu heard these words Zhou Shixiang was dumbfounded, what kind of army is this suddenly remembered that Li Chengdong seemed to have been Gao Jie's subordinate, and Gao Jie was born in Li Zicheng's peasant army, so as soon as he made a connection, he also understood that Li Chengdong's army still used the same methods as the rogue back then, why his soldiers could fight it was all really escaped from death, and it was strange if they couldn't fight It's a pity that Li Chengdong was finally defeated, which proved that his set was useful in the face of the Ming army, which was weaker than him, but useless in the face of the Qing army, which was stronger than him.
In other words, the army of this era is not about who is stronger or more organized, but who is more scum.
Rogue will be rogue, Zhou Shixiang can't count on these recruits at the moment, as long as they can be obedient.
After looking at it for a while, he proposed to Boss Hu to send someone to Deqing to reconnoiter the movements of the Qing army, if the Qing army in Deqing really moved, how to fight this battle, and how to win it. oshow7 t1706231537:
