"Very good. Since you all remember it, I hope you can keep your oath as always in the days ahead!"
Kong Youde said here, paused, and then said loudly, "Today I call you, I must all know that it is going to fight. The general will tell you why we are going to fight, and who did this war be fought for.
The answer to this question is very clear, not for your President, Qian Zong, nor for this general! Not for anyone else! But for yourself! For your family!
Before this general took control of Dengzhou, you should not forget what kind of life you lived now. At that time, you did not have a land to survive, and there was no house to keep the cold. After eating, you had no meals. Every moment, you were frozen to death, starved to death, and sick to death. Why?
Because this is Shandong, not our hometown Liaodong, even if we are bullied, no one is willing to speak justice for us. Even if a person like this general who is in a high position has to swallow his anger under the roof of others. That life is really hard!
But now it is different. Each of your households has been divided into fields and built thatched huts. Although life is still hard, good days are coming soon. Not only you, but your family will soon be able to live a life of full food and warm clothes, and you will no longer have to endure the bullying of others in the future.
Such days did not fall from the sky, but because you have swords and guns in your hands, those who are dissatisfied dare not be presumptuous. Everything you have now needs to be protected by your own wounded swords and guns.
But the imperial court's troops were about to come soon. If the imperial court's troops could not be blocked, the fields in your family might be taken away again. Even if you think about such hard days, the imperial court would not be willing to do so. The imperial court not only wanted to take away your fields, but also your thatched huts, your wives and daughters, everything about you, including your lives!
In order not to take away your fields, your family will no longer be bullied, and will no longer be frozen to death and starved to death. What you have to do is to block the military forces of the court and protect your new home!
Tell me, are you willing to defend your own home? Fight for your own home?"
"Will" and "Will" more than ten thousand soldiers replied in unison, rushing straight into the sky like thunder, echoing endlessly.
This is what Kong Youde wants. Only in this way can they arouse their inner fighting spirit. They fight not for anything else, but to protect their future good days. People are selfish. Cutting off their wealth is like killing their parents. Only when their vital interests are threatened will they rise up and fight.
"Okay, since you can do it, then don't be afraid of war. As soldiers, war is your job, just as you used to work as farmers and went to the fields.
However, on the battlefield, there is no eyebrow on the sword and gun. You are worried that you will be injured and killed. I am also worried that in order to train you, I have invested too much energy and money in you. If you die easily, these things will be like being wasted!"
You have been training hard for two months. From the beginning to being weak and still as if you are still as a mountain, you have made great progress. However, this is not enough. You have not been baptized by war and do not understand the cruelty of war. If you go to the battlefield, you will inevitably panic."
"So, this battle is a test of your training results in the past two months. Your enemies are not strong, most of them are untrained guards.
Among you, I believe some were military households in Liaodong, and some of you in Shandong. Even if you are not military households, you should have some understanding of the military soldiers. Just imagine, a military soldier who is not full for many years will fight against you who are strong and healthy. Who will win and lose? It is obvious at a glance that the enemy is not scary. Only by defeating the fear in your heart can you be considered qualified soldiers.
Dasheng tells me, do you have the confidence to defeat the enemy?"
"Have" was another thunderous response.
Although the soldiers below were still as calm as a mountain because of the military spirit, the excitement on their faces could not be concealed. Kong Youde wanted to use this way of belittling the enemy to build confidence among the new recruits who had not yet been on the battlefield.
"Okay, you are all qualified soldiers and invincible soldiers. You will definitely win this battle!"
"I will win!" "I will win!" "I will win!"
"The whole army obeys the order, let's get rid of it!" At the command of Kong Youde, an army of nearly 10,000 people set off.
Despite the large number of people, no riots occurred. A plan of march had been formulated in advance. Every army and horse was carried out in an orderly manner under the command of generals and flags at all levels.
Except for Baiyunlong, Xiong Wenbin, Deng Deming and some artillery troops heading south, the rest of the troops set out to the east, like a long dragon, with a huge momentum and endless momentum.
It was almost 130 miles from Dengzhou to the first target of Fushan County, but Kong Youde led 8,000 troops and galloped all the way. On March 18th, before the sun was completely set, he arrived at Sunjie Town, a town less than fifty miles away from Fushan County.
In other words, the army was rushing for 80 miles this day, which was unimaginable before, but today they did it. Kong Youde was still worried that they could not hold on, but unexpectedly, less than a hundred people were behind, which was really unbelievable.
Although this has passed Kong Youde's expectations, Kong Youde still issued punishment measures for the dozens of people who were left behind. If he arrives before midnight, he will be exempted from punishment. If he arrives on the second day, he will have no food for two days. If he does not arrive before the sun sets on the second day, he will be expelled from the army and take back the military field.
In fact, these soldiers are not behind, and it is easy to understand. The unlimited food supply and high-intensity training in the past two months have not only strengthened the physical strength of these recruits, but also increased their willpower. This kind of continuous journey has long been common for them.
Moreover, in the past two months, Penglai County and Huang County have been firmly controlled by Kong Youde, and the logistics are also managed in an orderly manner by Fu Bo, the old housekeeper, and are not worried about problems with the logistics supply. The soldiers are also confident in winning the battle.
