The world is the same as it used to be, just changed. People want to get benefits from him. If they can get benefits by stepping on him, then those people will step on him without hesitation.

But many of these people have changed their faces, either cold or greedy.

Liu Chenggang is sentimental about the ruthlessness of these people, but also sad for his own weakness. He knew it was painful, he had to learn to grow up and wrap himself in a strong coat.

Three days later, Liu Chenggang proposed to Fang Tianxing that he should leave. Fang Tianxing thought twice and asked him, "are you sure you want to leave? Where are you going? "

"I'm going to go outside and see what the world really looks like. I'm going to report to the Terran troops in the north. Maybe I can get better in a different environment." Liu Chenggang said to Tianxing.

"OK, you really should go to the grassroots. The world is the most cruel and heartless, and warmth always exists in people's imagination." Fang Tianxing said to him.

Liu Chenggang left Fang Tianxing's army and just set foot on the road to join the army in the north. There is a fierce battle with the demons. Many people die every day. The check is very loose, because when they go to the battlefield, they will die at any time. There is no need to be too harsh.

Liu Chenggang meets a group of recruits going to the north on the road. Liu Chenggang follows them and chats with them casually on the road.

Liu Chenggang asked, "where are you from?"

They said, "I came from my hometown Luzhou."

"How many of you?" Liu Chengfeng asked again.

They said helplessly: "when we started from our hometown, there were seven or eight hundred people, but now there are only a dozen left."

Liu Chengfeng puzzled said: "how can there be only 17 people left? Did you run away on the road

They said, "no one is running away! Where can I escape? Many places on the road are very desolate. There is not only nothing to eat, but also no water to drink.

We didn't prepare food at all when we came along the way. Some places had some food, some had some. If there is no food, we have to starve, but the road has to go. And many places of water ah, after drinking, diarrhea. Diarrhea, dysentery, and no medicine, so most people died along the way. "

A lot of guys who want to run away are loaded in the car for fear that they will run away. There is almost no freedom of movement. You have to be beaten if you move. As for the food, it is even less and coarse, just to keep them alive and not to starve them to death.

Under such cruel treatment, many recruits died before they reached the front line.

On the way to the north, I often saw wild dogs fighting for the bodies of recruits who were thrown away because of death. Some seem to be still twitching over there. They may be buried before they die completely!

Outside the city, there is a place where recruits pass by. Because there are too many corpses, the air is full of strong odor, which makes people suffocate.

When the North was defeated in the war, all localities were sending troops to reinforce it, and at the same time, they were recruiting troops. But along the way, recruits from all over the country have been transferred to the battlefield.

It's just that when these recruits arrive at the battlefield, they often die out of ten. No one knows how they died. Maybe they died of illness, or they escaped on the way. In the end, only a few dozen people were left in the seven or eight hundred troops. They all disappeared on the way to the battlefield.

When it comes to the reason why there are too many deserters, some people say that it is the poor management and education of the officers of the armed forces that make it difficult to lead the soldiers. It's true, but it's incomplete.

As a matter of fact, there is a general shortage of troops in the north. There is also a common problem that we are not willing to explain. That is, the leaders at all levels are in short supply.

The so-called lack of food, also known as empty food or empty space, is to falsely report, falsely claim and hand out the salary, grain payment and weapons and equipment of the vacant personnel in the army.

The way to eat empty is usually to deliberately not fill up the troops according to the establishment. When reporting to the higher authorities for various funds, the number of soldiers reported is more than the actual number of soldiers, and the vacant salary, grain payment and clothing are embezzled by the leader.

The vacant weaponry officers dare to reach out. After reaching out, they are sold or given away, and arranged to report the loss after the battle and write it off.

When Liu Chenggang arrived in the army, he found that Dai Jitao, the former division commander, had only more than 3000 soldiers, but he reported more than 7000. He even sold all the uniforms, shirts and covers of some people who had been overstated. The most serious food shortage is rice, which can earn more than 16000 Jin in just one month. When the rice was sold for money, Dai Jitao and others pocketed it.

Some local conscription officials are also empty, and they intend to increase the number of recruits when they allocate troops. For example, on the basis of the 150 recruits originally allocated to each township, another 20 or 30 recruits will be added to extort money from wealthy households.

At that time, every recruit could extort a lot of money. If there is no money, the blackmailed family is required to replace the soldiers with mules and horses.

After the recruits are pulled, they are sent to the medical examination office for physical examination. At this time, recruits recruited by rich families could be allowed to be suspended as if they were ill and unqualified as long as they bribed the medical examination office for three or five hundred yuan.

If military service officials are bribed, they will be exempted from the military service of the children of the rich, and the military service quota sent by Shangfeng will naturally be transferred to the poor.

Rich people can buy a small sum of money, while poor people try their best to avoid conscription and protect their lives. In this regard, they also have a way. If they can't find recruits in the daytime, they will send people to their homes at night.

If they can't catch them, they lock up the parents of the recruits and force them to be soldiers of their own free will; When the number of recruits recruited in the township was not enough, they took the soldiers on the road to solicit merchants, confiscate money and goods, and recruit recruits in the form of bandits.

Some military service officials also specially raise a number of soldiers.

According to what Liu Chenggang has seen, in some areas, once the recruiter fails to complete the task of "recruiting" recruits, he and his family members will be arrested to make up the number and show no mercy.

Some local officers themselves sent the newly recruited recruits to the front line. Because the number of recruits was not enough, the township head ordered the villagers to tie them up and send them to the recruit camp. Another example is Li Kai, a former comrade in arms, who was a conscription officer before he became a soldier. For the same reason, he was forced to count and sent into the army.

When it comes to the brutal hierarchical oppression within the northern autumn army, especially the tragic situation of the recruits, almost all the uprising and captured soldiers hate it.

Recruits wear very shabby clothes. They usually wear summer clothes in winter, but not in summer. Each recruits is given a set of sweaters, a suit of single army clothes, a military cap and a bed of Grey Felt mats.

According to the regulations, the food for the recruits is allocated by the grain warehouse. As the officer who transports the recruits wantonly withholds the pay of the recruits, when the military food is distributed to the recruits, it is mixed with sand and gravel, and each person is limited to eight Liang a day. No waste is allowed. Eating porridge mixed with sand requires three minutes to finish, which is called cultivating fighting style. If the surplus grain is deducted, the camera will be sold and the private purse will be filled.
