26. Looking for Song Jiang II

To say, half a century later, what the Song people believe and believe, I'm afraid they will ask the living General Zhao Ze.

At a press conference, a reporter asked, "Excuse me, old general, what do you believe in?"

"I!" The old general Zhao Ze raised his hand gently, his eyes flowed from the reporters present in turn, and then calmly told everyone, "I only have confidence in my work!"

The reporter was about to ask again when he heard the old general Zhao Ze ask, "So what do you believe in? Comrade reporter"

The reporter stood up without hesitation, raised his right arm against his left chest, paid tribute to the people present, and then replied, "I believe in evil!"

Evil is better than good, yes, that's the sentence. Half a century later, the people of the Song Dynasty believed that evil is better than good.

But what is evil and what is good, sometimes it is difficult to distinguish.

Song Jiang led his partners to rob in the forest. According to the law at that time, he would be sentenced to 5 years in prison. If it is combined with kidnapping, obstruction of judicial notarization, fighting and extortion, I'm afraid it will take another 10 years.

Later, Song Jiang left the forest to change his mind, but he inadvertently violated several local laws such as usury, collecting stolen goods, inaccurate garbage classification, not reading signals when crossing the street, throwing magazines, etc., which will take another 10 years according to local regulations.

5 years plus 10 years plus 10 years, which is 25 years. If he takes his own age, I'm afraid he will be out of prison and will soon go to the grave. This is not what Song Jiang expects, because he wants to live like a person, not the hero in the Three Kings of Escape in the history of the Song Dynasty. He doesn't believe that his luck will be like that. Well, bad luck happened to my companions.

Ten years, there are several ten years in life that can wait, and there are several decades that can be squandered. Ten years are not the song written by Lin Xi, let alone a book, a story of a stupid woman falling in love with this killer.

In the Song Dynasty, a person's fate could be determined in ten years, and Song Jiang was the person chosen by fate.

Perhaps, you don't know that there have been several large-scale wars between Song and Liao. According to historical records, there have been two wars between Song and Liao so far, two world wars.

Among them, the First World War began in the midsummer of 1043 A.D. During the reign of His Majesty Emperor Renzong, the war lasted for a year and a half. The State of Song won a complete victory, and the State of Liao retreated on the whole line. Its servant Xixia was also defeated and the whole country fled. According to General Zhao Ze's diary, it should be hidden in the desert near Yixi Longer Lake. In the oasis.

Twenty years later, that is, in 1062 A.D., the Liao State, which was coiled in the northern grassland, made a comeback. This time, the ruler of Liao found an absolutely powerful helper and rose between the white mountains and black waters. He fought bravely and tenaciously. He was known for not being able to beat, drag on, and had strong vitality. The Jnv's country!

This is the second war between Song and Liao. Liao launched millions of troops south to attack Song, swept the grassland alliance between Song and Liao with thunder thunder in a week, and annexed all its territory, once again repeating a scene of great soldiers in history.

In order to survive, the propaganda agency of the Song Dynasty opened all its horsepower and issued a call to all adult male citizens in the name of the imperial emperor, calling on them to join the army enthusiastically, take up arms to defend the motherland, defend the motherland, fight against the invaders, and maintain world peace.

After more than 20 years of rest and recuperation, the national strength of the Song Dynasty at that time was close to its peak. The total population of the country reached 32.21 million, and adult male citizens alone accounted for three levels. Although His Majesty Shenzong's think tank suggested that the total number of people participating in the war should not exceed two million, but They are all old-fashioned economists, and they are still laymans in war.

When His Majesty the Shenzong asked his military adviser, General Zhao Ze for advice, Zhao Ze's eyes flashed strangely and told him, "My Honor, as long as you want, all the people of the Song Dynasty will take up arms for you to fight against the invaders. At this point, all the officers of the Imperial Military Staff dare to swear to God! "

Zhao Ze's words gave great encouragement to the young His Majesty the Shenzong, because he was still young, not as calm as his father, and calm. He was still afraid that the Liao Congress would come and seize his country.

However, the war has reached the door. Whoever starts first will be more beneficial to him in the future. General Zhao Ze knows this well, so a large number of additional troops is inevitable.

In order to mobilize three million people to participate in the war within a year, the military staff led by Zhao Ze has formulated a temporary military regulation that runs counter to the Constitution. The military regulations stipulate that anyone who voluntarily joins the Imperial Army, is willing to be loyal to His Majesty, and fights bravely against foreign invaders, regardless of his origin or what kind he is. Ethnicity, black, white, even red, as long as he joins the army and performs well in battle, the army will pardon all his sins and promise to provide him with the following preferential conditions.

I. People who want to become farmers after the war can divide the land to the Americas and raise their offspring there;

2. You can go abroad to settle down and be not bound by your own immigration bureau;

III. Those who have won the honor of first-class merit, enjoy the title of hero of the empire, wear silver oak leaves, and travel for free;

IV. Those who want to become residents of the Song Dynasty can get a green card issued by the Immigration Bureau, which is valid for 100 years;

V. The families of soldiers participating in the war can also be protected by the local judicial department and have the right to enjoy priority immunity in judicial cases, provided that they have not violated the criminal law of the Imperial Constitution for less than 3 years;

6. Ordinary soldiers get a reward of 100,000 Songyuan after the war, and the sergeant gets a reward of more than 200,000 yuan. Soldiers can be promoted.

......

Of course, there are many contents of the regulations, but Song Jiang only cares about the provision that can pardon all sins and take effect from the date of participating in the war.

In the years of war, if you want to be famous, want to be famous, want to buy a land to support a family, or marry a wife and have children, you can only serve as a soldier and fight for the country. On the contrary, if you want to become famous overnight by singing and making movies, it is pure bullshit, because the empire was very strict about the censorship of movies at that time. Since Zeng Gong After entering Zhongshu Province and becoming the administrative minister of the Imperial Propaganda Department, he took very strict measures to crack down on a large number of illegal filmmakers and close thousands of cinemas. The reason was that the content they screened seriously violated the provisions of the Constitution of the Empire and was suspected of misleading the next generation of the Song Dynasty, which would induce people's thoughts. Chaos, decadent, depressed, and unmotivated.

In the name of the emperor of the empire, he called on aspirants to pick up the camera and take some short films reflecting the reality of life, so that people can find themselves and their own world.

As for other subjects, except for the prescribed military war films and comedies, all other films are banned. In accordance with the Wartime News Media Control Law stipulated in the Imperial Constitution, strict spiritual control is carried out on the people to prevent domestic riots and affect the hearts of the people. .

Song Jiang participated in the paratroopers. The training place was in the Dengzhou recruit training camp on the east coast of the Song Dynasty. He received a six-month advanced parachuting training. From land simulation parachuting training to air field parachuting training, he learned the basic combat skills that an ordinary paratrooper should master.

Then, it is the more cruel advanced land battle confrontation training.

The sea breeze blew his skin dark, the waves made his body more mature and strong, and the storm forged his strong will as steel. He liked the physical strength and collaborative training carried out by the group of people in the army, because at that moment, everyone did not distinguish between each other, and only by relying on each other could they survive. No one can face the horrible stake alone, because the stake is too thick and heavy, more horrible than an elephant's leg.

Infiltration training and jungle warfare are another compulsory subject, because the Song army suffered such a loss in Xixia 20 years ago. If General Zhao Ze hadn't pioneered the mountain guerrilla warfare, it would have been difficult for the Song army to enter the hinterland of Xixia in ten and a half years, let alone destroy the country.

The training at the seaside is a vacation for Song Jiang. Although his comrades-in-arms call it a five-day hell life, they have become the greatest warriors after five days, and everyone can be alone.

For Song Jiang, Dengzhou's military training runs through one word from beginning to end: sleepy.

Instructors are very strict with them and attach great importance to exercising team spirit. Anyone who mistakes the whole company will be punished, so they are required to pay attention to the honor of the team and try not to make mistakes.

It's not all good to be tall and powerful. Maybe it's easier to split the enemy in half in close combat. However, sometimes, for example, when crossing obstacles and passing through narrow areas, being too tall will expose them and get stuck in a hole under a stone. However, the army still needs to be big people. Because they will make this team more scary and more like an army.

During the intensive training, Song Jiang was so tired that he almost vomited blood. He sat down and fell asleep while eating. When he woke up, he didn't know who ate the meat on the plate. Anyway, he only had a breakfast that day, and the afternoon training was full of hunger.

There are many soldiers in the recruit training camp, but many of them are illiterate, because they are farmers. Most of them who went to college are appointed as company commanders, and the worst is also a messenger.

It is rare for a smart and flexible guy like Song Jiang who can read and write. After months of observation, the instructor thought that Song Jiang was a talent, so he asked him to try to lead a reconnaissance team to find out the whereabouts of the enemy after parachuting.

Perhaps, it is because of this that Song Jiang has the opportunity to rise step by step and climb to the peak of his life until he retires.

The battle between Song and Liao was fought for more than three years. Three million Song soldiers fought and buried their bones in their hometown. This time, the Song army was no longer soft. They rushed thousands of miles with their legs, driving Liao out of the prairie and expelled them to the desolate Siberia.

There will always be many people falling down in the war. Song Jiang is lucky, but Wu Yong is not lucky. As early as the spring of 1063, when he landed on Desheng Island in the Jurit Kingdom, he was shot and killed. For this reason, Song Jiang cried bitterly and personally wrote a letter to inform Wu Yong's family about this matter.

I don't know what Wu Yong's expression will be when his family receives this heavy telegram. Maybe it's difficult to accept.

The war is in full swing, and Song Jiang has little time to write to his family, because he is a paratrooper who always jumps to a strange place to carry out secret missions, and then is surrounded. After a life-and-death test of war, he finally escapes.

Most of his comrades-in-arms died on the battlefield, in the anti-encirclement, in the personal breakthrough, in the division and strangulation, in those long days and nights.

Beaches, forests, roads, water, houses, wherever you can hide, there will be comrades-in-arms he has known to fall down. In the face of their death, Song Jiang is so helpless and lonely. How good it is to live. Why did he die? Why doesn't Death come to him? Why did he, the detective captain, order this? So hard.

After hundreds of battles, he only scratched his buttocks. Even if the cannonball exploded beside him, it didn't hurt him. Is this luck or a miracle? He didn't know whether when his superior awarded him the position of battalion commander, Song Jiang did not accept it, because he didn't want people to say that he climbed up to that position by stepping on the corpses of his brothers. .

Until the end of the war, Song Jiang was still the reconnaissance captain.

Finally retired, what should I do? Go to the National Security Agency to be a respected technician or a bodyguard of a government official. Song Jiang's qualifications are absolutely enough. Some of his still-living paratroopers have chosen the above two bright roads.

However, he didn't want to. He just wanted to walk around, or take a plane, or a train, or ride a horse. Then, when he stopped, an errand in front of him was what he wanted to do.
