Chapter 210 Complaints + heart-to-heart talks, I want to join the team!
Chen Heng patted Yu Hongyu on the shoulder and said, "Your mother is in heaven, and she cannot bear to see you cry so sadly. I think what he wants to see most is for you to live a good life."

Yu Hongyu cried for a while and vented his emotions. He nodded and continued to talk about his experience.

"After my mother left, I could barely survive by fishing, farming, and occasionally going to the mountains to get some prey.

I can't starve to death, I can't eat enough, and I can't save enough money to marry a wife.

Later, some people said that King Chuang was coming, and that King Chuang would not pay for food when he came. I didn’t care whether he paid for food or not. I just thought about whether I could not pay the fishing tax and then kill the fisherman who bullied me.

It didn't take long for a group of bandits to attack our village. Not only did they kill Mr. Yue's family, but also all the women were killed. Many ordinary people also suffered.

Then I was coerced by this group of thieves and joined King Chuang's team. Because I made some achievements in the inner city, I was promoted to squad leader.

Then came the attack on Dengzhou. We didn't win for two days. After another two days, we were dragged to fight with Marshal Liu.

I don’t know if King Chuang is a good person, but he is definitely not as good at fighting as Marshal Liu, so we became the prisoners of Marshal Liu. "

After hearing what Yu Hongyu said, Chen Heng smiled slightly and asked everyone: "How many experiences do you have similar to Captain Yu? Please raise your hands."

"I!"

"My experience is similar to that of Captain Yu!"

"···"

At one time, more than a hundred people raised their hands!

Chen Heng motioned for everyone to put down their hands and said: "I once heard the commander say, why are we not as good as those one or two generations ago?
Mainly because the Ming Emperor and the ministers were incompetent, corrupt officials were rampant in the local areas, and there were some evil gentry, landlords, and profiteers who oppressed us.

Therefore, whether it is our Kuei tribe or Li Chuang and other rebels, it is right to raise troops to resist Baoming.

At that time, Ming Taizu Zhu Chongba was unable to survive, so he joined the Red Scarf Army and overthrew Bao Yuan's rule.

Now that the old Zhu family has governed the world to such an extent that even we can’t survive, it is reasonable and reasonable for us to join the rebel army to overthrow Zhu Ming! "

Chen Heng's words made many prisoners nod.

Under the rule of the Ming Dynasty for more than 200 years, not only the literacy rate of the people was high, but Confucian ideas such as the Three Cardinal Guidelines and the Five Constant Virtues were also promoted by scholars and had a profound impact on the grassroots people.

A slightly larger village will have at least one scholar.

In places where the literary style flourishes, there is even an average of one scholar per village!
Therefore, even if many people cannot read a few Chinese characters, they still have some understanding of the Three Cardinal Guidelines and the Five Permanent Constitutions, and know about loyalty, justice, integrity and shame.

The loyalty among them is often interpreted by scholars as loyalty to the emperor and the master's family.

This kind of thinking cannot be completely denied, but it will undoubtedly put a little burden on the hearts of the people who participated in the rebellion, and even create a feeling of inferiority and guilt.

Now after listening to Chen Heng's words, many people have lost their guilt and even realized that it was a just thing to raise an army to overthrow Zhu Ming's brutal rule!

Chen Heng was more sensitive and clearly felt that the mental state of the prisoners had changed positively.

'It's just the beginning, and it's already so effective. The method of complaining taught by the commander is really useful! '

With a secret praise in his heart, Chen Heng continued to talk.

“In addition to the problems with the Ming Dynasty court and government, the second one is that natural disasters have indeed become more and more frequent and serious in recent years.

I believe older people can relate to this - let’s not talk about other places, but Henan. How many years has drought been occurring in a row? "

Frequent natural disasters aroused greater resonance among the captives.

"It must have been five or six years ago, right?"

"Well~ not only, it's been seven or eight years!"

"I feel that since Emperor Chongzhen succeeded to the throne, our times have not been better..."

Chen Heng said: "Whether it's windy, rainy or sunny, it's God's business. We can't control it, and neither can the emperor.

But if God doesn't give us a way to survive, we can't wait to die.Not to mention other natural disasters, like the drought in Henan, what should we do?
The commander-in-chief said, first, we need to dredge rivers and ditches, because in this way, we can better draw river water to irrigate the world.

The second is to dig more wells and build more dams and reservoirs.In this way, more water can be stored when there is rain, and enough water can be stored to combat drought. "

Almost all the prisoners were from peasant backgrounds, and Chen Heng's explanation was so simple that everyone understood it immediately and nodded.

Chen Heng continued: "But the Ming emperor was fatuous and the officials were busy fighting for power and squeezing the people. There were not many people to do serious things like building canals, so we couldn't withstand the drought!
The purpose of our uprising is to overthrow the Ming Dynasty and replace the emperor and those officials who are not doing business!
Although the Chuang army is a rebel army like ours, have they done these things?
No!Not only did they fail to do these serious things that would allow the people to live a good life, they even lured bandits to destroy villages and villages, and coerced the people into joining them in order to strengthen their ranks!
I don’t even think about it, if everyone joins the Chuang Army and stops farming, how will the fields grow food next year?
In one or two years, everyone can have enough food by robbing the big households; in three or four years, when the big households are killed and the grain reserves are used up, what should everyone do? ! "

This theory was a little more complicated, but Chen Heng still explained it in a simple and easy to understand manner, so the prisoners nodded again and again.

Especially the prisoners whose relatives and friends died due to the arrival of King Chuang's team showed even more resentment.

Someone even said loudly: "Everyone says that King Chuang is good, but let me tell you, there is no difference between the thieves and bandits in King Chuang, except that they have more people under their command!"

This remark aroused the agreement of many people.

Chen Heng knew that his ideological work this time was not only to make the prisoners hate Li Zicheng, but at least to let the prisoners know that Li Chuang was on the wrong path and that there was no future in following Li Zicheng.

Weibu's path is the correct one, and only by following Weibu can we have a bright future.

He seized the opportunity and pointed to the prisoner who was speaking, "What is this brother's name? Are you willing to come up and talk about it?"

The man who spoke was not frightened. He stood up and said, "My name is Niu Dacheng."

"Come, come sit here with me and talk." Then Niu Dacheng sat next to Chen Heng and told his story.

Unlike Hongyu, although Niu Dacheng's family is not a rich farmer, they are not a poor farmer either. His parents and family are all there. Although life is hard, he can survive and even enjoy the hardship.

Not to mention, many of the people below showed envy when they heard that Niu Dacheng had a complete family.

In this dog-like world, it is not easy for a family to live neatly.

However, Chuang Wang's team came and not only killed the entire family of Mr. Niu, a big family in the village, but even Niu Dacheng's family was robbed by Chuang's army.

"Those beasts not only robbed my family of food, but also harmed my sister - my sister is only 13 years old, ugh..."

As he said this, the big man Niu Dacheng also started crying.

All the prisoners below were silent - because they were the intruders!
At least it used to be!
Chen Heng also didn't expect that Li Chuang's team had such poor discipline and style, so he couldn't help but ask: "If something like this happened, didn't Chuang Jun give you an explanation?"

Niu Dacheng wiped his tears and said: "Later, a general named Li learned about this and chopped up the beast that killed my sister.

But what's the use?Not only my sister died.My father and I were beaten severely in order to stop those beasts.

I was young and nothing happened, but my father was injured.Later, although a doctor from the army was invited to see him and prescribe medicine, he still left after a while.

My mother couldn't think about it anymore, so she hanged herself, wuwu..."

As he said that, Niu Dacheng couldn't help crying again.

Yu Hongyu couldn't help but ask: "Then why did you join the Breaking Army?"

"Wow -" Niu Dacheng cried even more sadly, and said with red eyes: "What can I do? The whole village has joined the army, and my family is gone. If I didn't join the army and stayed in the village, I would probably die. !
Before my father left, he also told me that I must live on, wuwu..."

Many prisoners below began to cry.

Obviously, Niu Dacheng was not the only one who had a grudge against the Chuang Army but had to join the Chuang Army in order to survive.

It can be said that Chuang Jun caused two serious psychological injuries to these people!
Chen Heng patted Niu Dacheng's shoulder and sighed: "Cry if you want."

After Niu Dacheng finished crying, Chen Heng asked several people in succession to tell their experiences.

The results were more miserable than the last. In the end, no one among the five hundred prisoners shed tears, and many of them howled loudly.

When the prisoners had almost vented their emotions, Chen Hengcai said: "After listening to everyone's experiences, I am very glad that the people I met more than half a year ago were the Yibu rebels. It was our commander-in-chief, not Li Zicheng and Luo Rucai."

Then Chen Heng talked about his experience.

His experience before becoming a refugee was similar to that of most prisoners. He was very miserable and was forced to survive.

The difference is that he joined the Yibu Rebel Army in Runing, and he and the rest of his family survived!

After hearing this, the prisoners' eyes widened with surprise and yearning.

Yu Hongyu asked: "General Chen, is the army really as good as you say?"

"Don't call me general, just call me Chen Junzheng." Chen Heng said, stood up, looked at the prisoners and said loudly: "Everyone has seen the discipline and atmosphere of our rebel army in the past two days.

At the same time, after our Yi tribe attacks a place, it will never be as harmful as the Chuang army. Instead, we will try our best to let the people survive and even live a good life!
I think, no matter whether you take the initiative to join the rebel army or are coerced, you don't want your hometown to be turned into a wasteland by disaster, right?You all want the folks to live a good life in peace, right?
Everyone has had a heart-to-heart talk today, and they must all understand that following Li Chuang will not allow the people to live a good life. The only way is to join our army and follow Marshal Liu! "

Chen Heng's complaints and heart-to-heart talk can be said to have made the prisoners understand the affairs of the rebel army at once, and they also understood the huge difference between the Yi tribe and the Chuang army.

After hearing Chen Heng's words, the prisoners all had a firm idea in their hearts - to join the Wei tribe!Let yourself, your fellow villagers, and even the people all over the world live a good life!
Yu Hongyu, who was standing next to him, was moved in his heart and asked: "Chen Junzheng, can I still join the Yibu Rebel Army?"

Chen Heng smiled and said: "Of course."

Niu Dacheng then asked: "What about me? I want to join too!"

"Me too!"

"And me!"

The prisoners shouted, as if they were afraid of being missed.

Chen Heng pressed his hands down, signaling everyone to be quiet, and said: "As long as everyone is willing, you will have the opportunity to join our Yibu Rebel Army. Otherwise, why would I come to talk to you?

However, our Yibu Rebel Army does not recruit everyone. First of all, the age and physical condition must meet the requirements for joining the army.

Secondly, after all, you were breakers before, and now you are prisoners. If you want to join our rebel army, you must prove that you are willing to be a good person.

How to prove it?Very simple.The superiors will arrange for you to do hard labor for a month.

If they are not doing anything dangerous, they are dredging ditches and rivers, building weirs and waterways, farming, etc.

I just made it clear that these are serious things that can help people live a good life.Anyone who can do serious things for a month can prove that he is a good person.

Tell me, guys, are you willing to do this hard work and prove yourself? ! "

"willing!"

For a moment, the response in the prisoner camp was overwhelming, and almost everyone's face was filled with positivity!
 Second more.

  Good night~
