Chapter 335 Breaking the city with surgery and blood not stained ([-])

Most of the musketeers who retreated to the last row were from Niulanyi, and it had been a year and a half since they used firearms for the first time.

After the First World War in Niulan, more than 300 households migrated from Niulan to Peiyi. They were regarded as "gifts" and were not bound to the land. They were presented by Duke Luyang to the people who helped him guard the land of "ancestor sacrifice". ink person.

He dragged his family along a road that had never been taken before. When they came to Pei County, they were arranged to join the army first, and they were distributed with long muskets that were completely different from those defending the city in Niulanyi.

In addition to being simpler, the order of loading is still the same, and the sound of firing is also quieter, which is easy for these farmers who have actually fought.

When they came to Pei County to serve as soldiers, because they had no land, they received slightly more military pay just like those brought by the Mozi from other cities.

It's just that not many people receive these military salaries. They receive some money like the local soldiers in Peixian County, and the rest will be recorded and can be exchanged for iron tools and so on in the future.

The women in the family were arranged to work in the cotton cloth workshop of the Mo family, learning from scratch, and each was only responsible for one process.

There are those who spin yarn, those who weave cloth, and those who pick cottonseeds from cotton... Different processes receive different commissions. Although they are tired, the more they do, the more they earn. The monthly money is enough to support a family. Small.

The money distributed is not gold, copper, pearls and jade, but grass or cotton coins, but you can buy anything in Pei County, as long as you have money, you can buy even short firearms, but long firearms are not for sale.

Even the elderly in the family can find a job in exchange for commission, such as picking cotton seeds, peanuts, rubbing corn, etc. The daily income is not much, but they can also exchange some oil and water, buy a piece of cotton cloth and so on.

The children gathered together and studied in the school from the age of six. Most of the teachers in the school were young people who had studied in the rural school for three years.These younger children are taught in the morning and continue to go to school in the afternoon.

And these children will have a meal in the school at noon every day, and these will be collected from the people. This is approved by the general public of Pei County, and the amount is not large.

Learning characters in the morning, military training in the afternoon, and the most basic team formation and formation from the age of six.

Every child will buy a bluestone slab, which is a new masonry industry in Pei County, and send some talc pens to write on the slate.Those who are rich will buy a few sheets of paper for their children, but it is expensive.

Most of these musketeers lived in Pei County, which originally seemed to be the residence of a nobleman, but because during the Battle of Shangqiu, these nobles thought that the Mohist family would be extinct in the world, and they were captured by the Yi people in Peixian County and won the Song Dynasty who was still in shock. It is recognized that they can belong to the Yi nationality, and these residences have become schools or temporarily belonged to these people.

They don't have any land for the time being, but Shi Shi promised them that after three years, a co-cultivation society can be established to reclaim the wasteland in Daze. After reclaiming, the land will belong to these musketeers.The Mohists will provide ironware and oxen for help.

This is not an unreachable future. After they came to Pei County from Niu Lanyi, they can feel that their lives have become better.

The daily meals have also changed from the original corn and sunflower vegetables to potatoes, sweet potatoes or corn pumpkins and carrots. Wheat cakes will be distributed during the march. This is much better than the original life, and everyone is very satisfied.

Why they fought, they knew very well in their hearts that most of the most prestigious people in the army were Mohists, and they would tell them that it was for the sake of this kind of life for everyone in the world.

Because you don’t fight others, those warlike princes and nobles will return to their original appearance, just like they did in Niu Lanyi: they have to work on the public land before they dare to manage the private land, and after paying taxes every year, they have to borrow money to borrow money. I can't pay back the interest every year, and I have to flee from time to time, and sometimes I'm caught back and become a debtor's slave.

There is no bloodline here, only ability, and the most important thing is hope.The children who learn best will enter a better school three years later, and will be taught by someone who knows more knowledge, and the rest can only go home to farm or do other things.

But as long as you can enter a better school, you will be able to live a better life in the future.Either as an official, or as a military officer such as Sima Chang who specialized in learning the art of military formation.

These musketeers are very satisfied with this migration and feel that this is a paradise. Whenever they look at the thriving crops in the field, they will think that they will have such a piece of land three years later.

Of course, these lands will not be near the city walls, but in the wilderness far away from the city walls. The land is sparsely populated, and the land that was originally difficult to cultivate can be turned into high-quality fertile fields with iron tools, cattle and horses.

These hopeful lives need to be defended, and defense sometimes needs to know that the other party is an "unrighteous country" and take the initiative to fight.

As a result, these musketeers knew why they were fighting, and felt that they were working hard to build a paradise and a better life for themselves.

Even if he is killed in battle, his son will inherit the land of the joint farming community that he should have, and the Mo family will provide food and drink until the children grow up, so there is no need to worry about the future.

For them, a heavy musket is not only a profession, but also a weapon that can protect their lives.

They have long been used to sniffing the slightly bitter gunpowder smoke, and their reloading movements have become more proficient in the past year and a half. The previous battle on the city wall made them accustomed to densely packed enemies, and they believed that as long as they listened to the command of the ink masters around them, they could get victory.

What to do after victory?
They know that since they entered the volunteer division, they have learned a lot of low-handed characters. Every day in the army, they have to learn characters after training. Many people can already write their own names.

Then they heard about their future life. A person is nothing more than a life in which old and young, high and low, all are ministers of the emperor of heaven.

At that time, there will be only those barbarians who are thousands of miles away, the world will be stable, and the Kyushu will eliminate the soldiers. Relying on these firearms to repel those thieves who covet the world's taxes will not require many soldiers. At that time, it will be an honor to join the army.

At that time, each family will have a cow, a piece of arable land that cannot be bought or sold to maintain life, and it is not forbidden to reclaim wasteland to make life rich. Every family will have its own iron utensils, and even clay pots for cooking will be become iron.

At that time, every child in every family will have to learn to read and write, and then select talents to enter better schools according to their learning ability, and finally select talents who can become officials with a grass full of questions. Everyone has hope.

All of this sounds not difficult to achieve, it is imaginable beauty, and for these people, it is enough to make them give everything to pursue, including life.

They are not Mohists, they don't need to benefit the world, they only need to benefit themselves, so they are not afraid of the battle in front of them.

…………

While the lead bullets were flying, the brave Yueren who charged ahead were only thirty steps away from the volunteers' musketeers.

But during the period from seventy steps to thirty steps, five consecutive explosions killed dozens of extremely brave Yue people here.

A heavy lead bullet of nearly one or two hits the arm, which will directly tear the arm and leave a terrible wound.

That's not an arrow that leaves a waving tail feather.

It was an invisible lead shot that would crush bones directly.

The last trace of bravery of the Yue people who were charging ahead had already been frightened away by the death of their companions. Some people did not even dare to look at the tragic death around them, and charged forward with their eyes closed. Don't dare to get up there.

In Yuedi, the king only needs to beat drums in the city, and these farmers need to gather in front of the city gate and go out with the army.

They are not gentlemen, just farmers.

The reason why they go to war is only because of habit, a habit that is taken for granted: as a human being, as long as nobles and kings are recruited, they will go by themselves. This is a farmer.

Not only do they have to go out to fight, but they also need to cultivate the public land, repair the palace, and some who belong to the lord have to work for the lord.Every ten days and ten days, you have to work for the king for five days before you can be busy with your own affairs.

Hunting, hunting, cutting ice for the lord, digging ice cellars, harvesting the land of the lord, repairing the house of the lord, harvesting reeds, harvesting bird fields...

All these things have been going on for hundreds or even thousands of years. If you die in a war, you will die, and you will get nothing, leaving only a sad family member, and the son who is left behind will have to repeat his life.

It's all like this, they don't know what a better future is, because no one tells them, so they can't imagine the future life that those people on the other side imagined.

All they can think of is a wiser king, a kinder lord, and a few years without war.

The State of Yue has not yet started the most basic military merit system, and there is no such thing as the saying that Zhao Shitian's [-] peasants, businessmen, and merchants are all sui.

The most primitive feudal obligations have penetrated into everyone's mind. They are born this way, they are accustomed to it, and think that the world should be like this.

The Yue people would capture slaves, and the royal family and nobles had a large number of slaves. The Qi State plundered [-] households as slaves in the First World War as the price for the truce and alliance.

And when Goujian was recuperating and recuperating, there was a saying that there would be rewards for having three sons. Where did those rewards come from?It will never be created by Gou Jian himself, but taxes, slaves, and feudal obligations.

These things went around and slipped out, and a small part was returned to the Yue people. This is not a matter of course, but a reward of gratitude, which is enough to make people serve their lives, and even those who have no brothers over fifty in their families do not need to join the army. It can be regarded as benevolent government.

Because Yue people will capture slaves, so if Yue people believe in prey, these people on the opposite side may capture themselves as slaves.

Behind was Tengcheng, where thunder broke through the city gate. Everyone was frightened and did not dare to go back.

There are only a thousand people in front, as long as they rush over, they can escape and return to their families.

This is the source of courage they can fight, and it is also the only last strength to support their desperate charge.

But the seemingly few thousand people on the opposite side also brought the same horror as in the city.

When a heavy buckshot hit the partner's face and directly shattered his cheek, when the heavy buckshot hit his partner's chest, bleeding flowers bloomed, when the heavy buckshot shattered the arm holding the sword, it was bloody and bloody...

A feeling called timidity began to spread among the Yue people.
