    Holding a bowl of brown rice mixed with wild vegetables, Lin Haifeng formed a circle and sat on the ground with the soldiers. Lin Haifeng ate with gusto.

    "Your Highness, can you tell us another story?" Chen Yucheng said, winking at Shi Zhenji, commander of the brigade's special agent company opposite.

    Shi Zhenji held a bowl of soup knowingly and came to His Highness Prince An, and offered the clear soup that could only be said to be pot water with both hands, "Your Highness, yesterday you told the third row the story of the eighteen warriors of the Red Army who forcibly crossed the Dadu River.  , we only heard the tail part, tell us a story too."

    Lin Haifeng took the soup, took a sip, and poured the remaining half bowl of rice into the bowl of the tall soldier next to him. He chuckled and said, "I'm full, and the rest is wasted."  It's not good, just eat it for me." As he said, he looked at the soldiers who were staring at him expectantly, and thought for a moment, "Actually, the Red Army team in the sky, in order to create a  In the peaceful and prosperous times, more than just a few or dozens of heroes emerged, they were a collective of heroes, so they were able to create one miracle after another. Today I will tell you the story of the 'Nine Cooks'."

    He took another sip of soup and put the bowl gently on the ground. "The cook is what we often call a fire-headed soldier. In the sky, in order to break the demon soldiers' pursuit and blockade, and to go north to resist the invasion of the Yi Kingdom, the Red Army launched a war  The arduous Long March. They lacked food and items to keep out the cold. In the twelfth lunar month of winter, many Red Army soldiers were still wearing single clothes and straw sandals, and the environment was extremely harsh. In a Red Army company, there was a cooking class, and a total of 100 people, including the company leader, were  Nine cooks. Compared to other soldiers, they had to work harder. During the march, they had to carry a large aluminum pot and various utensils. They had to arrive at the predetermined camp in advance to prepare meals for the brothers.  Merely enough food to sustain the minimum living conditions"

    Lin Haifeng spoke passionately, about how the old squad leader started boiling water for everyone to wash their feet after all the comrades had eaten, and how the old squad leader secretly hid a piece of black rice cake, and finally the rice cake turned into comrades.  The rice soup they relied on for survival, and the old monitor eventually starved to death.  The large aluminum pot that had been carried by the old squad leader was passed on to the back of another cook.  However, the old squad leader left, but his spirit remained, and one cook after another was following in his footsteps, silently repeating everything the old squad leader had done.  One fell down, and another followed.

    "When the cruel snowy mountains and grasslands were left behind by the heroic Workers' and Peasants' Red Army, one morning, the brothers in the company discovered that the large aluminum pot from the cooking class had been carried on the instructor's body. In the marching team, again  There is no trace of a cook anymore. The nine ordinary cooks all shed their last drop of blood for the sacred cause they pursued. However, their souls will always be with the Red Army and their company.  , it was their dedication that ultimately ensured that not a single combatant in the company fell down on the journey.¡±

    After Lin Haifeng¡¯s story was finished, all the soldiers were still watching him intently, forgetting that there was still unfinished food in the rice bowls in their hands.  And Liu Xianghe, who was sitting next to him, had countless tears falling into his rice bowl.

    Chen Yucheng understood more from His Highness Prince An's story. He rubbed his sore nose and said, "Compared with that Red Army, we are still far behind. Many people still look down on the job of cooking and always feel that going into battle  You can be considered a hero only by killing demons. Yesterday, someone came to me and asked me to leave the cooking class."

    "Yes, cooking and washing vegetables every day, of course, is not as satisfying as killing the enemy." Lin Haifeng smiled, looked at everyone and said, "But we are the Red Army, whether it is me or your brigade commander, we are just everyone  The responsibilities we bear are different. We just want to promote equality, equality between officers and soldiers, equality between combat soldiers and cooking soldiers. Heroes can be found in any position, and no one of us can do without the other. When I have time, I will go to the cooking class in person  , I will cook a meal for you all, and also ask you to take a good look at my craftsmanship."

    Everybody laughed.  Lin Fengxiang also smiled. His Royal Highness Prince An was really good at training soldiers, he admired in his heart.  A story comes faster than any preaching.

    "Your Highness, do we have to shave our heads like these brothers?" Shi Zhenji pointed at the submachine gunner wearing a new military uniform opposite and asked with a smile.

    "What do you think?" Lin Haifeng looked at him with a smile, then turned his eyes to everyone, and finally landed on Lin Fengxiang.

    Shi Zhenji scratched his head in embarrassment, "When we were not eating just now, the brothers were arguing for a while. They all said that they look better if they are shaved, but this is it" He stroked the long hair on his shoulders and lowered his head.  .

    "I think it's better to be like Chitose," Lin Fengxiang said bluntly, "Not to mention coolness, from a battlefield perspective, once the head is injured, long hair like ours is inconvenient.  "

    "I"I agree with what Marquis Lin said, shave it all, we are the Red Army, we must have the characteristics of the Red Army," Chen Yucheng waved his hand, "We will be wearing new military uniforms in a few days, and anyone who doesn't shave will be removed."  His Highness has long said that our Red Army is an armed force against all feudal systems. We must not only overthrow the feudal dynasty of the Qing Dynasty, but also overthrow the feudal things in our own minds.  "

    "Brigadier Chen, don't be so arbitrary." Lin Haifeng looked at Chen Yucheng with a smile, and stood up when he saw more and more soldiers gathering over, "There is also an emotional issue here. From ancient times to the present  , It is a habit for men to grow their hair, and of course there is a reason for it, that is, the so-called body, hair and skin are inherited from the parents, and hurting them at will is a great disrespect to the ancestors and a betrayal of the ancestors."

    Having said this, he stroked his short hair and looked at everyone, "I am a Han Chinese. Do you think I am still a Han Chinese now?"

    The soldiers looked at each other, and of course they would not change.  Even if his hair is shaved off, he is still the same person.

    "Of course you are still a Han," Liu Xianghe looked at His Highness Prince An with passionate eyes, "His Highness is a god and the pride of us Han people!"

    "Didn't anyone accuse me of betraying my ancestors?" Lin Haifeng laughed. "Actually, remembering the kindness of our parents in raising us and adding luster to our ancestors' faces does not depend on whether you retain their traces on the surface.  , the key is whether you can always keep them in mind and take practical actions. Saying a few thoughtful words to your parents and doing your best to feed and clothe your parents is better than going to ask for a birthday every day and just take care of yourself.  It¡¯s good to have fun. Make our entire kingdom prosperous and the people live and work in peace and contentment. You have devoted your sweat and blood and are remembered by everyone, and our ancestors will be glorious. This is better than going to burn incense and kowtow to the ancestor¡¯s tablet every day.  .¡±

    He pointed his hand to the north, "When the Manchus entered the customs, they forced us to shave our heads. How many people refused to submit and lost their precious lives. Why did they do that? Because they felt that shaving their heads was tantamount to betraying their ancestors.  I am no longer a descendant of my ancestors. But nowadays, how many people are used to having a long braid on their backs. If you ask them to cut off the braid, what will they say? He will still cling to him.  Braid, I think this is the only way to maintain the dignity of our ancestors. Isn't this strange?"

    The soldiers listened carefully to every word that King An said, and felt a lot of emotion in their hearts.  Yes, those people like me, who are now accustomed to shaving their foreheads and wearing long braids, will be extremely hostile to the Taiping soldiers who have restored their ancestors' hair-growing habit, and viciously call them "hair bandits" and "long braids".  hair".  To massacre the Taiping soldiers was a hundred times more crazy.  It's all nonsense that the body, hair and skin come from parents who can't touch it!

    "If you ask me, these are all shackles imposed on us by the feudal literati." Lin Haifeng decisively raised his hands and said loudly, and then he smiled again, "In ancient times, there was Nuwa who mended the sky.  , later Hua Mulan joined the army, Taijun She and Mu Guiying took command, and now we have our invincible female army. Aren¡¯t these all indispensable to the ancestral system? How come they have become heroes that will last forever?"

    Lin Haifeng walked a few steps in the crowd, came to a submachine gunner, straightened the military cap on his head, patted his shoulder, turned around and waved his hand vigorously, "I still say the same, brave  Red Army soldiers, you shoulder the expectations of all mankind and march toward the sun for the benefit of the people!"
