Chapter 228 The Prince of Flowing Water, The Iron Concubine 31
After Yan Ying killed the man, she didn't continue to attack, but waited for the old generals to call her men and cronies over.
Three months ago, comrades who ate and slept together, shared the same hatred, and lived and died together, are now facing each other because of the disagreement between the generals of the two sides. This is a very cruel thing for everyone.
In a military camp, the forces of the two parties are aggressive and the smell of gunpowder is strong.
Feng Ye, Yan Qiancheng, and Yan Qianpeng held their weapons firmly, as if they were about to charge up in the next second.
But none of them did anything. The entire camp added up to 15 soldiers. There were three floors inside and three floors outside.
Yan Ying took a deep breath, and as she sat on the horse, her eyes became more determined. Her eyes swept across the thin, dull faces, and she spoke slowly, word by word, someone in the army would naturally pass her words on. Go on: "You come from all over the world, but everyone has joined the army, and you are used to calling yourself the Northern Xinjiang Army."
"I remember two years ago, when wars broke out in the frontier, Bei Rong broke three cities in a row, General Zhou died on the battlefield, and [-] northern troops died in battle to protect the city. It was so tragic and tragic."
"The [-] soldiers are half of your number here. Among them are your fathers, uncles, and brothers. Now, they are laying down their lives to protect the territory of Daliang."
When Yan Ying said this, some soldiers whose relatives died in this battle wiped away tears and choked up.
Yan Ying continued: "But after that, the [-] soldiers died in battle, and the Emperor Liang was still an official of the court. Did they do anything about it?"
"Comfort, comfort, no, they have never done anything, even the pensions that should be given to the families of the soldiers after they died in battle were taken away by a group of corrupt officials. The emperor continued to wear real silk and satin, eat delicious food, enjoy Seeing the best treatment in the world, he even forgot that there are still a group of people in a distant land who are guarding his country with their lives.”
The soldiers gripped their spears tightly, thinking of their suffering and misfortune, they wished they could rush into the palace and tear up the dog emperor's body.
"I know, you are very angry, very angry, and I am also very angry. For this reason, I have looked at the military expenses provided by the Liang Dynasty for the past ten years. It has been decreasing every year. It has been two full years since last year. It is an indisputable fact that no military salary has been issued.”
"Everyone knows that if you work outside, you have to be paid. If you don't pay, it's called cheating. The imperial court has owed you two years of military pay. It's only natural to pay back the debt. Your Northern Xinjiang army quit. It's fair, it's reasonable."
After Yan Ying finished speaking, the Northern Xinjiang Army immediately agreed: "Yes, I think, you are right, we all pay wages for work in the town, before being a soldier, we had money, but now we have no money, my family The elders are still waiting for me to send money back for dinner.”
"However, the third prince said well, let us follow him, and we will get military pay, but now that he is dead, what about our wages?"
Seeing that they had mobilized their emotions, Yan Ying raised her voice, and said persistently: "We were once just peasants, soldiers, traffickers, poor people with no ability to support their families, no place to stand, misery, famine, corruption, bullying, etc. When will the days end?"
The light rain fell, and Yan Ying continued: "I am a human being, and you are also human beings. You have protected the borders of Daliang, you have protected the people of the world, you have guarded the lights of thousands of families, and you have made meritorious service."
"The meritorious officials should be rewarded and rewarded, this is just and natural!"
"We all know that the grain in the fields is grown by the farmers, the houses and tools are made by artisans, and the soldiers defend the frontiers of the motherland. If you lose your body outside, you can’t go home until you die?”
"Because the Emperor Daliang was brutal and unkind, because the nobles and nobles were arrogant, extravagant and greedy, and because this dark society exploited and oppressed us, now that Daliang is exhausted, today our Northern Border Army will overthrow this dark dynasty and replace it!"
"The reason why I, Yan Ying, stand here is to tell you that I will pay you the military salary that Emperor Daliang did not give you, and I will respect you for the respect that Emperor Daliang did not give you. My purpose is not I want to please you, not to ask you to do something for me."
"Do you guys know?"
"Outside the barracks, there are [-] soldiers and horses surrounding you fifty miles away, and there are [-] soldiers and horses in the barracks ready to fight at any time."
As soon as Yan Ying's words fell, she saw a huge fire dragon ignited outside. It was mighty and imposing, forming a circle of fire to enclose the Northern Border Army. Yan Ying silently gave Luo Bai and Yan Xun gave a thumbs up, the torch was well lit.
Sure enough, he saw the panic on the faces of the soldiers in the Northern Xinjiang Army.
"As long as I give an order, they can rush in and encircle you; but I didn't, because I want you all to live, to return to northern Xinjiang alive, and to go home alive!"
Yan Ying wiped the light rain off her face, and gave an impassioned speech: "Although I, Yan Ying, am a girl, I have a wish. I don't know how to say nice things. I just want to let the people in the world have food. , have clothes to wear, have some spare money at home, build a house, marry a wife, and children can go to school”
Before Yan Ying finished speaking, she saw a burly captain throwing away the weapon in his hand and knelt on the ground. He said, "I used to guard the homes of rich and noble families. I have seen As a high official, I have seen great generals, but all of them are dogs. You are the first one who wants us ordinary people to live a good life. I always dream that my family will be rich, and my brothers will marry a house and a wife. Baby, as long as you have the heart, I will follow you"
"Yes, we will follow you"
"Me too"
"..."
If there is one, there are two, one, two, three, and the surrounding soldiers dropped their weapons one by one and fell to their knees on the ground.
To put it bluntly, these Northern Xinjiang troops are trained civilians, but they are illiterate, but it is not difficult to communicate, and it is not that they cannot understand the words, but you tell them that the country is peaceful and the people are safe, those are too far away, of course they cannot understand, But you tell them such ordinary things as having enough food, clothing and warmth, building a house and marrying a wife, this is the biggest wish that suits their real life.
This move of the Northern Xinjiang Army made the old generals very angry. A hulking general with resolute eyes pointed at these soldiers and said angrily: "You, you, a few words from a woman will make you kneel down , It’s really a disgrace to our northern army, stand up, stand up for this general”
Yan Ying's gaze was as sharp as a falcon's. She got off her horse and walked to the kneeling northern border army, and helped them up herself: "Listen, everyone, I am very grateful that you chose to follow me."
"Everyone is the Northern Army, a brother who came out of the trenches, why fight to the death and blood flow like a river, I assure you: the Northern Army will not fight the Northern Army"
"Today, it is a dispute between me and the generals. We will resolve it ourselves. Then we will follow the rules of the barracks. Fighting generals—"
