Traveling through the Ming Dynasty, as soon as you open your eyes, you will die

Chapter 68 The truth about a bowl of ice water
  The hot summer sun is in the sky, and it has just rained. The earth is full of water vapor, and the water vapor evaporated by the scorching sun rises like transparent air. Through this water vapor, you can see the things on the opposite side, all seem to be twisting, swinging and dancing.

The water vapor blowing from the roaring Yellow River around me smells of earth, making it wet and uncomfortable.

Marching under such conditions cannot lift one's spirits at all, and there is always a feeling of drowsiness.

We have been walking for three days, and the army is about to run out of food. It is necessary to break down a fortress, firstly to raise food, and secondly to stimulate the morale of the army.

Liu Hongliang, who was riding a horse, put up a pergola with his hands and looked into the distance. In the twisted air, he saw a town, swaying in the twisted water vapor, appearing on the horizon like a mirage.

Liu Hongliang cheered up and shouted loudly: "Brothers, there is a town ahead. Everyone hurry up and go to the town and have fun."

His shout not only cheered up the sleepy team, but also seemed to cheer up the horses under their crotches. He snorted, shook his head, and started jogging.

The town was burning, and the sound of crying for father and mother, accompanied by screams, filled the world.

The bandits were all in high spirits, and the common people were trembling.

An old man knelt on the ground: "General, general, you can't do this. We have submitted to Dashun, we are already obedient people of Dashun, you can no longer treat us like bandits."

Liu Hongliang kicked the old man over and said, "Fuck you. Kill your cows and sleep with your girls. That's why I look down on you. Why are you an obedient citizen of Dashun? Be an obedient citizen of Dashun. Aren't you being filial to the military master? You old fool, if you keep nagging me, I'll chop you down."

Seeing that his daughter was about to be forced into the house, the old man hugged Liu Hongliang's thigh and said, "Master Jun, Master Jun, please spare my daughter. I'll give you whatever you want. I'll give it to you."

"Do I still need your money? After I sleep with your daughter, I will be your uncle. Isn't everything you have mine? Get out of here. I have something urgent to finish. Let's go quickly. If you keep messing around like this , I will kill you now if you have delayed my military affairs, General."

After kicking him away, when the old man struggled to get up again, his daughter's heart-rending screams could be heard in the house.

The old man knelt on the ground, opened his arms facing the sky and shouted: "Oh my God, is this the Chuang King who we look forward to the stars and the moon? They are so different from the bandits. Oh my god, are there still king masters in this world?"

The king's division is not far away, in a dense forest to the east of this burning town.

Another town was burning. Lu Mou held his hands like telescopes in front of his eyes. After observing for a while, he put down his hands and sighed with his heart: "Oh, the people are looking forward to Master Li Chuang, but in the end they are looking forward to this. It can be regarded as asking for a hammer." Damn it. I feel really sorry for the stupidity of the common people, and feel sad that they were tamed with just a few empty slogans. This is comparable to the deluded people in Syria."

The little eunuch Xiao Lizi poured water for the prince and asked curiously: "Is Syria a kidney?" He is from Shaanxi.

He took the water and took a sip: "Syria is not a kidney, it is a country shaped like a kidney."

Then he looked at the soldiers around him. The soldiers were standing here, all covered with sweat. Their eyes could not help but stare at the ice water in his hand: "Are you jealous and hating that in this hot weather, I have ice water?" Water to drink and you don’t have it.”

The soldiers, who stood with their faces covered in sweat, swallowed hard. Although I dare not say it openly, I cursed in my heart: "You love your soldiers like your own children, how can you share the joys and sorrows with the soldiers?"

Lu Mou sneered.

He never talks about feelings with his subordinates, because he knows deeply that a leader who always talks about feelings with his subordinates is not a good leader. That was a sign of his incompetence as he was unable to give his subordinates anything tangible. What motivates his subordinates to improve is the tangible benefits and the room for advancement before them.

In front of the sweaty soldiers, Lu Mou slowly poured the remaining ice water on the ground: "Do you want to drink it? Let me tell you, the reason why I can drink it is not because I have a good background and am a prince."

You are not the prince, have you drunk it? Don't fool me.

"I am a yellow belt just like you, but according to the rules, my descendants were demoted generation after generation, and eventually ended up begging for food just like you. I reformed your rules and gave you a chance to rise again. What's special about me is that, I saved the Ming Dynasty at the critical moment. Otherwise, I would be worse than you, and I would be the first to be beheaded by Li Zicheng or the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

The reason why I can stand here and drink ice water now, but you can't, is because of my military merit and my hard work. Although you have been deprived of your royal family by me, and that title has become nothing, I have broken the shackles that tightly trouble you. From that day on, you can do any job. Just like now, as long as you fight desperately for the Ming Dynasty and our ancestors, then, from a soldier to a squad leader, then you will have an extra plate of sauce in front of you; when you become a platoon leader, you will If you have one more dish than the soldiers, and then continue to work hard and become a company commander, you will have soldiers serving you tea and water. Every meal will have two dishes and one soup.

If you become a battalion commander, you can make your family rich. When you become the leader, you can have maids and servants at home. If you become a brigade commander, you can pick up and send off troops with carriages and horses.

If you become a teacher, you can be like me and have ice water to drink in midsummer.

And if you become the commander of the army, you may be granted the title of lord or duke again; if you perform great meritorious service, you may be granted the title of king. Restore the glory of our ancestors.

Remember, this glory does not come from the shadow of your ancestors without any effort. It is created by you yourself and is your rebirth. You have to know, among the princes who founded the country, which one was not the result of fighting? "

Looking at the countless pairs of eyes that were ignited, Lu Mou chuckled: "Princes, generals, and prime ministers, would you rather have a kind of calling? No. Some changes are the result of continuous efforts. I will give you a chance to gain glory again. I will give you a chance to become a soldier. There is only one dish and one meal. When I give you the opportunity to become the squad leader and enjoy a plate of sauce by yourself, I will give you the opportunity to become princes and generals. The opportunity is given to you by me. If you can’t catch it, you deserve to watch me drink it. Ice water. Isn't it unfair that I drink ice water and you sweat under the scorching sun?"

Everyone raised their arms and shouted: "Fair, fair."

"Okay, I won't say any more. Now 20,000 bandits are right in front of you. Kill one enemy and get a silver dollar. Kill five enemies and get a level up. If the war is won, 30% of all captures will be awarded to you on average. You guys are fighting, Or run away?"

After some brainwashing, Lu Mou asked loudly when faced with the recruit Danzi who was on the battlefield for the first time and killing people for the first time.

The royal family are all at the end of their rope, and they are already in a state of being unable to open the pot. With such a reward and such a bright future, why not fight?
  All the soldiers shouted together: ‘Fight, fight, fight. "

Seeing the enthusiasm that was ignited, Lu Mou calmly drank a bowl of ice water again, and couldn't help but sigh: "In the previous life, I attended the insurance company training class for nothing. This brainwashing is really easy to master." Put down the water bowl: "If I sell life insurance to them now, will I be overwhelmed by the orders?"

Thinking about the upcoming war, forget it. I guess I received the order softly and had to lose my underwear to pay the compensation after the war. It would be a shame if the insurance company lost money. We cannot discredit the insurance industry.

"Team up, we are going to fight in a dignified manner." Lu Mou shouted loudly to the soldiers whose blood was boiling.

In the first battle, you can't use tricks, you have to fight to the death.

As Li Yan said, what kind of general brings out what kind of soldiers, he must train these royal children into a group of strong generals, not a group of slippers.
