Rise From the Humble

  Chapter 1431 I am a soldier

  Peach Blossom Collection, until noon, the sun hangs high above the head, throwing golden brilliance. The Zhe Army, who had trained all morning, sat on the ground in a circular shape with sentries as units, and Zhu Pingan stood in the center of the circular shape.

"Everyone performed very well this morning. Everyone has worked hard. Lunch has been prepared in the gang's barracks, and the pork that the officer promised has been stewed in the pot. Before lunch, I will teach you a song about our Zhejiang army. Song, everyone should study hard with the whistle as a unit. If you learn the whistle, you can have lunch first. If you don’t learn the whistle, you can eat lunch until you learn it. If you can’t learn it all the time, you can save lunch. Oh, yes I almost reminded everyone that pork is limited, those who arrive first eat meat, and those who arrive later can only drink soup.”

  Zhu Pingan stood among the crowd, first praised them, and then asked them to learn to sing military songs.

  At the beginning, everyone heard Zhu Pingan say that the pork had been stewed in the pot, and they all shouted mighty in excitement, but after hearing Zhu Pingan asked them to learn to sing military songs before they could eat lunch, they all made faces bitter.

   "My lord, if you ask us to sing military songs, isn't that asking Zhang Fei to embroider flowers? That's more than enough energy."

   "My lord, we are all bandits and bandits, and we can't read the big characters. If you let us sing military songs, isn't that embarrassing for us?"

   "Besides, what's the use of singing military songs? We're not kiln sisters and oirans, so what's the use of singing?"

   "That's right, no matter how good the singing is, what's the use of it? We go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, can't we still sing and kill the enemy?"

  The audience grimaced and complained messily.

   "What's the use of singing?!" Zhu Pingan looked at the crowd with a smile, and said slowly, "Do you know about Liu Bang, Xiang Yu, the Chu-Han dispute?"

   "I've heard, I've heard, Liu Bang, who cheated on food and drink, finally became the emperor, and her daughter-in-law is amazing, a generation of poisoned queens."

   "It's a pity for the overlord of Chu, why didn't he cross the Wujiang River? If he crossed it, maybe the dynasty would have changed."

   "Liu Bang just wanted to rob Xiang Yu and his wife, Yu Ji, so he killed Xiang Yu."

   Everyone replied in a mess, apparently they had all heard stories about the Chu-Han conflict, unofficial history, and the like.

Zhu Pingan nodded slightly, "Well, since you all know about Liu Bang Xiang Yu's struggle between Chu and Han, you should have heard of the story of being besieged on all sides. Of course, it doesn't matter if you haven't heard of it. Let me briefly tell you. In the battle of Dingding, Liu Bang mobilized Han Xin, Peng Yue and other generals, and led the army to surround Xiang Yu's 100,000 soldiers and horses in Gaixia. Xiang Yu was besieged, and the number of troops and horses was decreasing day by day, and he could not get supplies, and the food and grass were also getting less and less. In the middle of the day and night, Liu Bang set up a strategy of being besieged on all sides, and ordered the Han army surrounding Gaixia to sing the song of the Chu people, which is also the song of Xiang Yu's hometown Chudi. Xiang Yu, who was sleeping in the Gaixia command tent, was awakened by the singing. After listening carefully, he was shocked , "Has Liu Bang already acquired the land of Chu? Why are there so many Chu people in his army?", suddenly he lost his fighting spirit, and sang a generous elegy to his favorite concubine: "Strengthening the mountain is overwhelming, and the time is not good. The dying time never dies. The dying time never dies, what can I do, what is the reason for the dying!', after singing several times, his beloved concubine also sang along, and then the two were relatively speechless, crying. In the end, he Yuji, the favorite concubine of Xiang Yu, slayed herself in front of Xiang Yu's horse, and Xiang Yu, a hero at the end of his life, took the only remaining soldiers to Wujiang, and finally slayed herself on the bank of Wujiang."

"This is the story of being besieged on all sides. You just asked what is the use of singing, and this is the answer." Zhu Pingan looked at the crowd with burning eyes, and said loudly: "Singing can gather the morale of the army, boost morale, and disintegrate the morale of the enemy. It is not an exaggeration. It is said that a song is worth a thousand troops!"

  Everyone present was greatly educated.

   "We understand. However, we can't read big characters, and our brains are not good enough, so I'm afraid we won't be able to learn"

   Someone said worriedly, and many people echoed.

"Don't worry, the lyrics of the military songs I teach you are simple and easy to understand. It doesn't matter. They are all plain Chinese, and the lyrics are not long, just a few sentences. As long as you study hard, you will never fail to learn." Zhu Ping'an He smiled slightly and said to everyone, "Okay, now I will teach you. The name of this military song is "I am a soldier."

   "I'm a soldier. That's a good name. It sounds like we are singing." Everyone in the audience was excited and curious, looking at Zhu Ping'an eagerly, waiting for Zhu Ping'an to teach them.

"I'm a soldier

  ”

  Yes, the military song Zhu Pingan taught them to sing was the famous revolutionary song "I am a soldier" in the early days of the founding of our country.

   This is a popular song, written and composed by Lu Yuan and Yue Lun, born after the outbreak of the Korean War. Once it came out, it quickly became popular all over China and spread all over the land of China and the ends of the earth. Its lyrics are simple, but full of power; its lyrics are simple, but it burst out the strongest voice of the times. After its birth, it has inspired generations of compatriots and soldiers of the armed forces to fight for the new China with overwhelming momentum! During the Korean War and the rise of New China, this song contributed a force that cannot be ignored.

  Of course, Zhu Pingan made some changes to the lyrics of this song on the basis of respecting the original work.

   "This song is really exciting to listen to. Just like our adults said, the lyrics are simple and I can understand them all."

   "After listening to this song, I feel that I am proud as a soldier"

  After listening to Zhu Ping'an's singing, all the people present were very excited and felt their blood boiling.

   Soon, after Zhu Ping'an taught it once, before a cup of tea, a whistle raised his hand to show that he had learned the military song. Zhu Pingan inspected and asked them to sing in public, and suddenly a majestic, sonorous and powerful singing sounded.

   "That's right! You've learned how to whistle, and there's no such thing as a fake. You can go to lunch now." Zhu Ping'an nodded.

   "Thank you, my lord!" A sentry soldier clasped his fists in thanks, walked towards the temporary dining hall under the envious eyes of everyone, and winked at everyone proudly, "Let's help you taste how the pork is salty, hahaha."

   "Die!"

"roll!"

   There was a burst of laughing and cursing.

   This song is so catchy, and soon, in less than a quarter of an hour, everyone present learned it.

"I'm a soldier"

  The majestic, sonorous and powerful singing resounded through Taohuaji, and the sense of self-esteem, confidence, pride and responsibility was slowly brewing in the singing.
