We recruits gathered before dawn. After the time of Mao, the veterans came over staggeringly, standing in the team, and were not in a straight shape. When the sun came out and rose high, the officials moved slowly, looking at the obvious hangover and not awake. Then they stood on the stage in a silly manner and started to speak. I don’t know if they were invited to have half a bucket of water or they didn’t understand it at all, and they said nothing but verbal and full of jokes. In general, we big-headed soldiers were asked to "knock their strength to fight to the death" and "defend Sang Xin".

I stood below and wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, and I felt very uncomfortable. So I was not happy to call these officials "officials". If these corrupt and depraved and ignorant things are worthy of being called officers, then this is the worst insult to my profession. The officers and comrades of our Fubo Army come from all over the world, and there are all people in it. Of course, there are also people who are good at drinking, some who love to brag, and some who are not very educated... But they will never be late and will never make a fuss in front of the soldiers.

They charge forward every time they fight, and will not hide behind and urge the soldiers and brothers to come forward to die. When they see the situation is not good, they will flee decisively. There is such an anecdote in the Fubo army. When our army destroyed the Zheng Zhilong bandit gang, the artillery fire of the bandit gang was extremely fierce. Chief Shi Zhiqi stood in front of the enemy artillery fire and smoked cigarettes. Later, whenever we talked about this, we said that even the leader was not afraid of death. Why did you let the brothers block the gun for you in front and retreat by yourself?

After clicking Mao, I followed the recruits to the warehouse to get armor and weapons. It was said that the armor was rusted, and the iron leaves were completely rusted, and the cloth surface was completely decayed, and it was broken with a little force. Where was the weapon? I received a spear, and the spear head was rusted. If it was used on the battlefield, not only would it not kill people, but I was afraid that I would have to break it first.

In fact, the armor and weapons have been sent to the officials to their servants and their personal soldiers. In their eyes, we big-headed soldiers are just cheap cannon fodder and just slaves to the army. Just pretend to behave.

At that time, I was so angry that I thought that the person in charge of the warehouse wanted to get rags and scrap iron, and could he still fight? The person in charge of the warehouse said very arrogantly, just this thing, do you want to get down on your own? You must prepare your family for your own preparation! What's the point? If you want to be in the Fubo Army, who dares to do this, you will be shot in the military court.

At this time, I remembered what Uncle Jizai often said, what did your court use to compare with the Senate? Yes, what qualifications do you have to compare with my Fubo Army? These soldiers who stand without a standing prime minister? These corrupt officials? These weapons that are difficult to kill a rat? What is ridiculous and hateful is that the pseudo-Ming authorities knew that they could not defeat the Fubo Army, so they spread rumors, slander the reputation of the Senate and the Fubo Army, attempt to incite the people's fear, and tied up their chariots. What's said is that the Fubo Army wins battles by evil magic, so they have to plunder boys and girls to sacrifice to evil gods. They also say that the people of the Auss and Song dynasties are lustful and like to plunder good women and do unspeakable things, which makes the whole Zhaoqing people panic. What's more, there are legends on the market that the Fubo Army's guns were made of evil things, and that women and sisters stood in front of the two armies, took off their pants, and exposed their genitals at the right hand of the army. What's more, it is said that the Fubo Army's guns and cannons were made of evil things, and that they made women and sisters stand in front of the two armies, took off their pants, and pointed their genitals at the right hand.

The Fubo Army can let the guns and cannons explode the chamber by themselves, and it is also called the "yinmen formation". It is simply a big mistake in the world and a big joke in the world! The power of the muskets and cannons depends on the excellent quality of the steel materials of the Senate, perfect technology, correct ammunition formula ratio, and the soldiers of the Fubo Army are well trained. How can this feudal dregs that insult women's sisters affect? ​​It is a pity that this kind of strange talk that any elementary school student will sneer at the moment is very marketable in the masses and officialdoms of Zhaoqing. The market is very panicked, especially when the government collects women's menstrual cloth and toilets from all households. This panic reached its peak. Many women and sisters were afraid that they would be caught by the officials and set up the "yinmen formation", and they all hid at home. Like the ladies in the boudoir, they did not go out of the door, and for a moment, the women on the street were completely gone.

When we became soldiers, the officials said that each person gave one tael of silver to settle the family expenses, which means buying life. But after all, the money was still not obtained. After Zhaoqing organized a public trial and found out that Xiong Wencan had indeed paid the money, but it was greedy for officials of all sizes. For a moment, the survivors of the soldiers who died in battle outside Zhaoqing cried and cursed and rushed to the stage. He held up the spirit cards and bit the officials who drank the blood of the soldiers to death to death. The scene was extremely shocking. Although I couldn't get the An family expenses, I didn't care about it. The only idea I had at that time was to be alive. When the Fubo army arrived, they surrendered and would never let him be buried with the pseudo-Ming authorities.

After we became soldiers, we distributed unusable equipment. We did not organize physical training and did not engage in tactical coordination. We followed the orders of the officials every day: we looked at the city gates, carried supplies, and patrolled the streets. These were all good, but they were still military, and we could tolerate them. The most annoying thing was to clean up the houses and move for the officials! The bags would flee to Wuzhou by boat!

Oh my God, the Fubo army didn't even see the shadow, and these officials were just trying to escape. You should know that when Wang Zunde advanced to the high ground, the leaders of the Senate - even civilian - were ready to join the battle together!

We were asked to carry the luggage, even the tables, chairs and benches onto the boat. The navy's ships did not go to war. Together with the civilian ships that were forced to be recruited, they transported the men's little wives, young masters, and gold, silver and treasures to Wuzhou. The robes were exhausted and worked as coolies for them, and were scolded by their housekeepers. Some people were beaten to death because they accidentally broke things. We were not the soldiers of the court, but the slaves of a group of generals!

In order to get the men to move, the officials asked us to intercept civilian ships on the docks and rivers. They snatched the documents and snatched the common people's ships. No matter you cry or ask for it, they are all heartfelt. If you talk too much, they will just cut them with one knife. After the chopping, they will hang their heads and show them to the public, saying that it was a "fine work by the thief."

Later, we were asked to go to the four towns to recruit civil servants - not for the sake of war, but for heavy ships, they were very slow to go up the water, and they had to have a strait. These civil servants were just to pull fibers for the men.

This was originally the matter of the prefect of Zhaoqing and Gao Yao County Magistrate, but the superiors thought that their conscripts were not effective, so they asked the soldiers to go to the camp to go. When they arrived in the village, they even called the arch and the guarantor to come forward, and each household had one or a few guarantors to draw one. As an official, they could take the opportunity to blackmail some oil and water. Later, the people ran away when they saw us, and they could no longer recruit the guarantors, so they caught the men when they saw them. From sixty to sixteen, no one let them go. Those who resisted would directly chop and kill them and say they were "unblocked". Some soldiers took the opportunity to plunder, and for a while, the villages with village walls did not open the door for us at all, and even opened fire at the officers and soldiers with earthen cannons and bird guns. Once, they directly killed a general flag, and they died, and no one was concerned about it.

The chaos in society at that time was hard for people nowadays. Let’s talk about something that impressed me the most.

After the revival of Guangzhou Prefecture, many refugees fled from the lower reaches of the Xijiang River and the Pearl River Delta. Most of them were officials, gentry and wealthy businessmen from all over the country, and many people who believed rumors and had a little bit of property. They thought it would be safer to escape to the governor's garrison that fled to Zhaoqing. They all took their families and fled on boats with soft and soft. Many of the recruited water braves were water bandits on the river in the past. They colluded with the navy's soldiers and puppets to intercept ships fleeing from the Sanshui area in the Lingyang Gorge. After plundering, they killed all the people, not even letting go of women and children. I saw with my own eyes that a soldier came back from robbing, proudly grabbed a handful of gold and silver jewelry to show off to us, mixed with many immortal lock pieces, and blood was stuck on it.

Such inhumane and atrocities of killing women and children could actually arouse the "enviousness" of many robes at that time. Many soldiers who had been honest all their lives were tempted to go on the road of killing and robbery. A few of my childhood playmates became soldiers and bandits and embarked on a path of no return. In the end, not only did they sacrifice their lives, but also implicated their families and became bandits. The old society not only devoured people's lives, but also devoured people's conscience.

I can't survive such chaotic and dark days anymore. So I look forward to the arrival of the Fubo Army. I count the days every day, and I wish that the Fubo Army would conquer Zhaoqing with lightning speed and capture all the rats in one go.

The darkness before dawn is always short. More than a month after the liberation of Guangzhou, at noon on April 2, the New Calendar, Uncle Jizai mysteriously told me a good news that Fubo's army was preparing to attack Zhaoqing! He asked me to prepare, "Don't be buried with the court." I said, "Uncle Jizai, don't worry, I remember it all. The officials asked me to charge, and I ran slowly. When the officials were defeated, when the Fubo's army came, I immediately put down my weapons and raised my hands to surrender." Uncle Jizai saw that I remembered it firmly, nodded with confidence and went there again. I quickly went to chat.

We joined a few of our companions who went to join the army to discuss the surrender. They agreed that they could not be buried with the pseudo-Ming authorities. At that time, we would be the only one who would follow us. As long as we go home alive, we would be a soldier. As a soldier, it is undoubtedly a shame in shame if we raise our hands to fight and do not fight, and no matter how we whitewash it, it would be futile. But I never regretted my shameful determination to surrender at that time. As a result of self-reflection, I dare say that after joining the Fubo army, I never took a step back on the battlefield.
