The room goes through the late Ming Dynasty, and the back door leads to North America at the beginni

Chen Heng patted Yu Hongyu on the shoulder and said: "Your mother is in heaven, and she cannot bear to see you crying so sadly. I think what he wants to see most is for you to live a good life."

Yu Hongyu cried for a while and vented his emotions. He nodded and continued to talk about his experience.

"After my mother left, I could barely survive by fishing, farming, and occasionally going to the mountains to get some prey.

I can't starve to death, I can't eat enough, and I can't save enough money to marry a wife.

Later, some people said that King Chuang was coming, and that King Chuang would not pay for food when he came. I didn’t care whether he paid for food or not. I just thought about whether I could not pay the fishing tax and then kill the fisherman who bullied me.

It didn't take long for a group of bandits to attack our village. Not only did they kill Mr. Yue's family, but also all the women were killed. Many ordinary people also suffered.

Then I was coerced by this group of thieves and joined King Chuang's team. Because I made some achievements in the inner city, I was promoted to squad leader.

Then came the attack on Dengzhou. We didn't win for two days. After another two days, we were dragged to fight with Marshal Liu.

I don’t know if King Chuang is a good person, but he is definitely not as good at fighting as Marshal Liu, so we became the prisoners of Marshal Liu. "

After hearing what Yu Hongyu said, Chen Heng smiled slightly and asked everyone: "How many experiences do you have similar to Captain Yu? Please raise your hands."

"Me!"

"My experience is similar to that of Captain Yu!"

"···"

At one time, more than a hundred people raised their hands!

Chen Heng motioned for everyone to put down their hands and said: "I once heard the commander say, why are we not as good as those one or two generations ago?

Mainly because the Ming Emperor and the ministers were incompetent, corrupt officials were rampant in the local areas, and there were some evil gentry, landlords, and profiteers who oppressed us.

Therefore, whether it is our Kuei tribe or Li Chuang and other rebels, it is right to raise troops to resist Baoming.

At that time, Ming Taizu Zhu Chongba was unable to survive, so he joined the Red Scarf Army and overthrew Bao Yuan's rule.

Now that the old Zhu family has governed the world to such an extent that even we can’t survive, it is reasonable and reasonable for us to join the rebel army to overthrow Zhu Ming! "

Chen Heng's words made many prisoners nod.

Under the rule of the Ming Dynasty for more than two hundred years, not only the literacy rate of the people was high, but Confucian ideas such as the Three Cardinal Guidelines and the Five Constant Virtues were also promoted by scholars and had a profound impact on the grassroots people.

A slightly larger village will have at least one scholar.

In places where the literary style flourishes, there is even an average of one scholar per village!

Therefore, even if many people cannot read a few Chinese characters, they still have some understanding of the Three Cardinal Guidelines and the Five Permanent Constitutions, and know about loyalty, justice, integrity and shame.

The loyalty among them is often interpreted by scholars as loyalty to the emperor and the master's family.

This kind of thinking cannot be completely denied, but it will undoubtedly put a little burden on the hearts of the people who participated in the rebellion, and even create a feeling of inferiority and guilt.

Now after listening to Chen Heng's words, many people have lost their guilt and even realized that it was a just thing to raise an army to overthrow Zhu Ming's brutal rule!

Chen Heng was more sensitive and clearly felt that the mental state of the prisoners had changed positively.

'It's just the beginning, and it's already so effective. The method of complaining taught by the commander is really useful! '

With a secret praise in his heart, Chen Heng continued to talk.

“In addition to the problems with the Ming Dynasty court and government, the second one is that natural disasters have indeed become more and more frequent and serious in recent years.

I believe older people can relate to this - let’s not talk about other places, but Henan. How many years has drought been occurring in a row? "

Frequent natural disasters aroused greater resonance among the captives.

"It must have been five or six years ago, right?"

"Well~ not only, it's been seven or eight years!"

"I feel that since Emperor Chongzhen succeeded to the throne, our times have not been better..."

Chen Heng said: "Whether it's windy, rainy or sunny, it's God's business. We can't control it, and neither can the emperor.

But if God doesn't give us a way to survive, we can't wait to die. Not to mention other natural disasters, like the drought in Henan, what should we do?

The commander-in-chief said, first, we need to dredge rivers and ditches, because in this way, we can better draw river water to irrigate the world.

The second is to dig more wells and build more dams and reservoirs. In this way, more water can be stored when there is rain, and enough water can be stored to combat drought. "

Almost all the prisoners were from peasant backgrounds, and Chen Heng's explanation was so simple that everyone understood it immediately and nodded.

Chen Heng continued: "But the Ming emperor was fatuous and the officials were busy fighting for power and squeezing the people. There were not many people to do serious things like building canals, so we couldn't withstand the drought!

The purpose of our uprising is to overthrow the Ming Dynasty and replace the emperor and those officials who are not doing business!

Although the Chuang army is a rebel army like ours, have they done these things?

No! Not only did they fail to do these serious things that would allow the people to live a good life, they even lured bandits to destroy villages and villages, and coerced the people into joining them in order to strengthen their ranks!

I don’t even think about it, if everyone joins the Chuang Army and stops farming, how will the fields grow food next year?

In one or two years, everyone can have enough food by robbing the big households; in three or four years, when the big households are killed and the grain reserves are used up, what should everyone do? ! "

This theory was a little more complicated, but Chen Heng still explained it in a simple and easy to understand manner, so the prisoners nodded again and again.

Especially the prisoners whose relatives and friends died due to the arrival of King Chuang's team showed even more resentment.

Someone even said loudly: "Everyone says that King Chuang is good, but let me tell you, there is no difference between the thieves and bandits in King Chuang, except that they have more people under their command!"

This remark aroused the agreement of many people.

Chen Heng knew that his ideological work this time was not only to make the prisoners hate Li Zicheng, but at least to let the prisoners know that Li Chuang was on the wrong path and that there was no future in following Li Zicheng.

Weibu's path is the correct one, and only by following Weibu can we have a bright future.

He seized the opportunity and pointed to the prisoner who was speaking, "What is this brother's name? Are you willing to come up and talk about it?"

The man who spoke was not frightened. He stood up and said, "My name is Niu Dacheng."

"Come, come sit here with me and talk."

Then, Niu Dacheng sat next to Chen Heng and told his story.

Unlike Hongyu, although Niu Dacheng's family is not a rich farmer, they are not a poor farmer either. His parents and family are all there. Although life is hard, he can survive and even enjoy the hardship.

Not to mention, many of the people below showed envy when they heard that Niu Dacheng had a complete family.

In this dog-like world, it is not easy for a family to live neatly.

However, Chuang Wang's team came and not only killed the entire family of Mr. Niu, a big family in the village, but even Niu Dacheng's family was robbed by Chuang's army.

"Those beasts not only robbed my family of food, but also harmed my sister - my sister is only thirteen years old, ugh..."

As he said this, the big man Niu Dacheng also started crying.

All the prisoners below were silent - because they were the intruders!

At least it used to be!

Chen Heng also didn't expect that Li Chuang's team had such poor discipline and style, so he couldn't help but ask: "If something like this happened, didn't Chuang Jun give you an explanation?"
