Film and Television: Starting from the Journey to Guandong

Chapter 54: Discipline (two in one, please read it)

They practiced like this until winter was about to pass. When they were able to ensure a stable hit rate at 100 meters, Zhu Chuanren led them to see blood.

A gunman who doesn't see blood can never be called a gunman.

In the same way, if the soldiers don't see blood, then the combat effectiveness of this team will always remain on paper, vulnerable!
Everyone remembers that day when it was snowing heavily. They wore cotton-padded jackets and walked dozens of miles into the mountains. When a group of bandits were unprepared, they used bullets to harvest lives.

The frightened expressions and helpless actions of the bearded men are still vivid in my mind.

Under Zhu Chuanren's cold-blooded order, no one dared to disobey. The discomfort caused by seeing blood for the first time made them uncomfortable for several days.

But in the following period, every few days, Zhu Chuanren led the team into the mountain.

From the initial discomfort, making them want to vomit when looking at corpses, to later stepping on blood plasma and eating potatoes, they could still count silver coins while talking and laughing.

In the blink of an eye, one year has passed, and everyone's growth is visible to the naked eye.

They don't know whether this change is good or bad. They only know that they can have enough to eat, and their families can have enough to eat. Not only that, they can also use the guns in their hands to protect themselves and their families from being bullied.

More importantly, many people came to build houses on the land of Lao Zhu's family with their families. They had their own homes and even their own land, as long as a portion of the annual harvest was given to Lao Zhu's family.

His old boss, Zhu Kaishan, was a straightforward and loyal person. Although he looked a little cold, he would respond quickly to anyone who asked him for help.

They are willing to work hard for such an employer.

Zhu Chuanren works as a third master at home, and the villagers prefer to call him the third young master.

Although the third young master is young, he is the absolute talker of the old Zhu family. Even his old boss has to listen to him. He usually doesn't like to talk, but when he speaks, it must be heard.

Although he is meticulous in training and attaches great importance to discipline, he can't do even one push-up.

But the third young master is also the one who cares about everyone the most. If he was injured in training before, he would always send safflower oil to everyone as soon as possible, and sometimes he would even apply medicine for everyone himself.

People’s hearts are made of flesh, and such leaders are worth following.

Looking back on the past, many people feel sad. They must be tired, and they have suffered a lot, but it is really worth it.

Now, Zhu Chuanren once again used his persuasive voice, and everyone was shocked, because every time such a public speech was followed, it represented a bloody battle.

In the past six months, they had wiped out the bandits around them and gained a lot of food and money. Otherwise, how could they feed so many people for so long with just the eight large yellow croakers they got back a year ago?
We fought not ten but eight battles, large and small, which can be described as invincible.

But every time after winning a battle, Zhu Chuanren would criticize them in a stern tone, pointing out the shortcomings in that battle. Anyone who made a mistake would be punished after returning.

They knew that Zhu Chuanren was trying to prevent everyone from being proud.

If it weren't for one of the battles, where they were almost annihilated because of their greed for credit, everyone would definitely not be convinced.

The battle was very fierce. The bandits seemed to have received the news in advance. While they were on guard, they also fought back with all their strength. Bullets were thrown at them for free, leaving everyone stunned.

If Zhu Chuanren hadn't used his superb marksmanship and personal combat power to break in alone and blow off the bandit leader's head, the outcome of that battle would have been hard to say.

It was precisely because of that battle that the guys put away their pride. There was a sky outside the sky, and there were people outside the world. There were countless teams that were better than them, and they had no right to be proud.

At the same time, everyone also has a clearer understanding of Zhu Chuanren's combat effectiveness.

Everyone in the entire team, from head to toe, from heart to lungs, has no dissatisfaction with Zhu Chuanren.

Now, the same lectures are coming again, which means that another war is about to start, and they can drink from a big bowl, eat meat, and share the money!

...

"A year ago, did any of you here think that you would be able to persevere?"

Everyone was silent, but it was also the best answer.

"I believe you all didn't expect it, but the result is that not only did you persevere, but you also did an outstanding job. Each of you is great. I am proud of you!"

As soon as these words came out, some people with shallow eyes already shed tears.

Zhu Chuanrenquan pretended not to see it and continued with his hands behind his back:

"However, our road must not stop at our feet. I know that you are very satisfied with your current life. You have food and drink, a wife and children, and it is beautiful to think about."

Bursts of chuckles came from the team, but Zhu Chuanren did not stop them.

"But what supports these? Has anyone thought about it?"

He scanned the entire audience. Everyone looked thoughtful, but no one answered his question.

"Come on, speak freely, whatever comes to mind!"

"It's you, Third Young Master!" Someone shouted from behind the team.

Zhu Chuanren laughed and scolded:
"Stop flattering me, Kong Lao Er, isn't that you? You're the one with the glib tongue."

He was extremely familiar with these 50 people. How could he not be familiar with them after spending more than a year living with them day and night, crawling around in the rain and snow?

To put it exaggeratedly, anyone who farts will know how many twists and turns there are in that guy's stomach.

Everyone burst into laughter. The boy named Kong Laoer was not annoyed at being teased by the people around him. He lowered his head and smiled innocently.

"Anything else? No one really knows the answer?"

At this time, a voice came from the left side of the team:

"Back to Third Young Master, it's money!"

Zhu Chuanren's eyes lit up:
"Well said! What Lao Tan said well is money! What you eat, use, and wear, including the mother-in-law lying on the kang, are you not getting money for it?"

Everyone was in a state of enlightenment, their eyes were as bright as fire, and they almost looked crazy when they stared at Zhu Chuanren.

"Now that I know the answer, let me ask you again, where does this money come from?"

It was Lao Tan again, shouting:
"We relied on the guns in our hands and grabbed it with our hands!"

Everyone was about to agree, but Zhu Chuanren said:

"That's right! It's also wrong!" Seeing everyone's expressions of confusion, he sighed:

"Rob! Yes, those bandits are not a scourge? The money in their hands, even a copper plate, is the people's wealth, so just rob them! But can we keep robbing them?"

He asked himself and answered:
"Of course not! Because there are countless bandits. Not to mention the bandits near Yuanbao Town, we have basically killed them all and robbed those who have nothing. What should we do now? Are we going to rob ordinary people? That has nothing to do with bandits. What's the difference?"

Zhu Chuanren's self-question and answer made everyone in the audience fall into deep thought. Yes, they have killed all the bandits. What will happen next?Is it nothing?This is obviously not the best answer.

Seeing everyone's expressions full of confusion, Zhu Chuanren smiled:
"There is a place hundreds of kilometers away from us called Laojingou. There is a place called Wudaogou in Laojinggou. It is a winding water system. There are not only fish and shrimps in it, but also gold!"

He paused deliberately and saw everyone's eyes glowing with gold, then continued:
"However, that place was controlled by Qing soldiers and bandits. It was extremely difficult for the gold lovers to steal the gold. In their view, the gold produced in Lao Jingou should belong to them!"

He scanned the audience and asked:
"Why?"

No one gave him an answer, it didn't matter, he answered himself:

"Because they rely on their numbers and the guns in their hands to exploit poor people at will. They become richer and richer, while the people become poorer and poorer!"

Zhu Chuanren's training for more than a year has turned everyone into his vassal, and he can arouse everyone's emotions with just a casual word.

At this time, everyone's face was not very good-looking, and there was a hint of anger, but because of discipline, no one dared to talk nonsense, and no one dared to get angry.

"I, Zhu Chuanren, am not some unparalleled hero. From beginning to end, I just want to protect my family and let them live a good life.

God has opened his eyes. Now, I have you good brothers again, so I have to let you live a good life with me. Then you tell me, should I take the gold in the old gold ditch? "

After a few seconds of pause, Zhu Chuanwu smartly took the lead and shouted:

"It should be taken! It should be taken!"

Everyone shouted together:
"It should be taken! It should be taken!"

They shouted, veins popped out on their necks, and their eyes erupted with a terrifying sharp light. It was their desire for money and an outlet for their emotions.

Zhu Chuanren pressed his hand and brushed it, and the loud noise suddenly stopped, but everyone felt that their blood was boiling and their heads were buzzing. The sound just now lingered in each of their ears.

"Okay! Since everyone has this determination, then I will lead the big guys to give it a try. Then I will give you three days off, and you can go back to spend time with your family.

After breakfast later, we will go to the fourth young master to collect money. It is not much, but it is a little kindness from our old Zhu family. Take the money, take your family, and go shopping in the town, eat some delicious food, and buy some good clothes.

If you don’t have a family, don’t spend it randomly. Save it for your future wife.

I don't know if I can bring you all back here, but what I can promise is that after the gunfire, I will rush to the front, and when I need to stay behind, I will stay at the back.

I hope that I can bring a lot of gold pimples and each of you back to celebrate the New Year and have a good New Year..."

Zhu Chuanren's heartfelt declaration made many people's eyes red again. They are all hot-blooded men who bleed and sweat without shedding tears, but today, they have cried twice in a short period of time.

No one else, because Zhu Chuanren's sincerity and kindness to everyone moved everyone very much.

Sometimes no matter how much you say, it's not as sincere as an action.

Zhu Chuanren rarely talks most of the time and is always doing it. This is why he doesn't talk much, but when he speaks, it is bound to resonate!

With a wave of his hand, the team entered the mansion in two orderly lines and arrived at a spacious bungalow, which was also the largest building in the entire Zhu family mansion.

Two large Kangs were built in the house, with a long table in the middle. This is also where the soldiers sleep and eat on weekdays. Apart from this, they have no chance to come in because they spend most of their time outside training and patrolling.

The Zhu family's fields are very large. To be honest, if you stand on the stone steps at the gate and look out, you will see that the Zhu family's land is everywhere. If such a large place was unguarded, there would have been a big mess.

Today's breakfast was noodles. Big and big noodles were served on the table, but no one dared to touch them. Everyone was sitting upright on the bench, looking straight ahead.

Knowing that Zhu Chuanren came in last and sat at one end of the long table, everyone picked up the bowls and chopsticks, and waited for Zhu Chuanren's order before everyone started.

He and Zhu Chuanwu have been eating together with everyone here since a year ago. They eat what everyone eats, and they never have any privileges.

Of course, Wei Chunfang secretly gave them a lot of trouble, but on the surface, they were commanders who could share joys and sorrows with their brothers. For this reason, many people were willing to sacrifice their lives for them.

Again, everyone is not stupid, they all know who treats them well.

After dinner, Zhu Chuanren announced the disbandment, but no one was in a hurry to leave. Instead, they went to the accounting room. The fourth young master Zhu Chuanjie was sitting there at a young age, but no one dared to look down on him.

He had a writing brush in one hand and an abacus in the other. There was a tray on the table containing more than a dozen rolls of silver coins wrapped in red paper. When he saw the team coming in, he said:

"According to my third brother's instructions, each person will receive 5 silver dollars. Everyone should line up and sign one by one to receive the money. Do you understand?"

The leader was Kong Laoer, who had a lively temperament. He immediately smiled when he heard these words:
"Fourth Young Master, don't worry. This is the rule every time you receive money. Brothers won't mess around."

Chuanjie nodded like an old scholar:

"Okay, let's get started."

He tore off a roll of silver coins and scattered them on the table. The silver light stung people's eyes, but no one wanted to close their eyes.

Although they usually receive monthly payments, most of the time they receive copper coins. In my memory, such a large amount of silver dollars has only been given twice this year.

But those two times were only two silver dollars at most, unlike this time, which was a full five dollars. Darling, how much can I buy for roasting?
With his hands behind his back, Zhu Chuanren and Chuanwu stood at the back of the team and watched, while chatting in a low voice:
"This is both settlement money and life money. I hope they can come back alive."

Chuanwu has also grown a lot in the past year. He is not as wild as before. He has lost his impatience and impulsiveness and has become more stable and thoughtful.

"I think it's okay. If you want to earn 5 silver dollars these days, how much work do you have to do?"

"It's two different things. By the way, you go to the weapons depot later and check the guns and ammunition. There must be no problems."

"Okay, I'll be there in a minute."

At this time, Xiao Jinli ran over and said breathlessly:
"Third brother, dad asked you to come over."

"Is something wrong?"

"I don't know either, go ahead."

"Okay, kid, look how breathless you are. I usually ask you to train with your brothers, but you are too lazy to do it. How fat have you become?"
