C161 Beneficent People

En Yangzhong, this is a noun that Xiao Letian invented himself. These three words represent thousands upon thousands of heaven's survivors.

In the last few years of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, failure had always been with them. At the moment of the's destruction, even Sky King Hong Xiuquan did not have any food to eat, so they had no choice but to eat some 'Sweet Dew', which was just a weed ball to boost the morale of the troops and citizens.

One could imagine, even Hong Xiuquan was about to eat wild vegetables, how poor Taiping Army would be by then. In such a shattered background, a large number of Heaven's Country's orphans appeared.

Women and the children were the most severely injured in the war. A large number of the Taiping Army's family members were raped, slaughtered, and traded, while countless of the Taiping Army's descendants were exterminated, leaving the younger ones being sold off as Slave.

No one knew how many Heaven Saint Masters there were. It could be a hundred thousand, or a million. Even if these lucky people were able to escape the battlefield, the cruel reality of society would force them into a corner.

Countless children were kidnapped by the beggars' gang, either sold or crippled for beggar's begging. Some even died from starvation and became food for wild beasts.

In this Middle Ages epoch, the so-called social benefits were just a joke. Some kind-hearted people might adopt a few children, but the proportion was minuscule.

In the end, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was annihilated. Other than allowing the daoyin faction represented by Han Chen to successfully ascend to the throne and opening the warlord epoch for nearly a hundred years, he did not leave any positive influence in history. On the contrary, what he left behind were the deaths of hundreds of millions of people, as well as the vast majority of the people in Jiangnan, as well as the women and children who had suffered greatly from the war.

Xiao Letian had started to pay attention to these war veterans since long ago. After he gained a certain level of strength, he started to gather 'En Yangzhong' in large numbers. It was gray beard, Liu Lang, Chun Shisanniang, and the rest's main job.

In Xiao Letian's heart, these young children were not guilty of any crime. Manchu's actions of not saving but instead killing were not even comparable to beasts. Hatred in the adult world should not be passed on to a child. This was Xiao Letian's most respected universal value.

Alright, since the Manchu isn't willing to raise these children, and the Heaven Empire's forces aren't able to raise these orphans, then let Xiao Letian do this.

From the end of the fourth year, Taibai Top had already begun secretly smuggling these children into the main battle zone of the south. Until now, after almost a year, Xiao Letian had set up five secret locations, and the number of children had exceeded more than a thousand.

And these children all had a uniform label, and that was' En Yangzhong '. Every one of them remembered that it was Xiao Letian, the Grand Master of Western Studies who knew how to write books, who gave them a bowl of food and taught them about martial arts. In the cold winter, they were able to have a full set of cotton clothing, a bowl of hot rice, and a place to settle down. All of this was due to Xiao Letian's kindness.

Xiao Letian had never been afraid of showing his kindness to others. He had also said more than once that these En Yangzhong would be the core strength of his future career. For these children, Wu chose the most brutal training model of the Spartan youth camp.

There was gentleness here, and there were whips here, and there was knowledge here, but there was also tyranny here. Hundreds of youngsters were gathered together, undergoing purely military management. There was no need to even mention how they could read or learn English. Training in martial arts and guns was also a daily course for them.

The modern Forces nouvelles needed talented people, the modern industry needed talented people even more, but where did talented people come from? To be nurtured by the Manchu's education system which ruled over the entire world? This was obviously a dream. Therefore, Xiao Letian had no choice but to train his own talent.

Three years. Xiao Letian urgently needed three years of buffer time. After three years of stacking training, Daqing's En Yangzhong's group and the Schools's group would be able to provide a steady stream of basic talent for Xiao Letian's career.

Any cause is decided by the ability of the cadres. There is no loyal and competent management. Xiao Letian's big plan is to spend it in the water during the middle of the month.

Back then, when Yuan Shikai was training in the small station, Principal Jiang had taken up residence in the Huang Po military academy to train his own talent system. But what they do is not perfect, because they are eager to achieve only military talent training, but little for internal affairs talent training.

In the early years of the Republic of China, the second Industrial Revolution was still complete. The electric Technology had already formed a productive force and the capitalist Country had already completed a global layout. At that time, China would already be a lousy oxcart, no matter how strong they were, they wouldn't give Chinese time to fight.

But now, it was different. The epoch Xiao Letian belonged to was in the era of the first and second Industrial Revolution. Europe was in a mess due to the rise of Prussia and Russia, and the capitalist Country was already showing signs of splitting into two factions.

As for the North America s, those that had gone through the civil war were controlled by the isolated minds. Unless it was before the second world war, they had no interest in meddling in the affairs of other Country s. Soundlessly earning money to develop one's industrial strength was the most suitable choice for USA. As for the Japan, he was still not as good as her.

Although gray beard, Liu Lang, and Chun Shisanniang didn't understand the layout in Xiao Letian's heart, their admiration for Xiao Letian was real. Of course, they knew what it meant for Xiao Letian to name En Yangzhong, and they also knew that these orphans would become his hardcore admirers after Xiao Letian had brainwashed them.

Xiao Letian's original intention was to train his own direct line. Everyone could understand that the so-called kindness also had a part to play, and Xiao Letian was not just some simple Sage.

However, in that dark epoch, those rich and resourceful nobles and officials of the Confucian were too lazy to even put on an act. He was afraid to compete in everything, so naturally, Xiao Letian accepted his people's hearts as a comparison.

En Yangzhong did not spend much money on this initiative of his. However, it had an obvious effect on the remnants of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. From now on, there will no longer be any resistance for Xiao Letian to integrate the resources of the Kingdom of Heaven.

En Yangzhong and the other children were taught by Xiao Letian himself. They received photos cards in Chinese and English, as well as easy to understand knowledge of natural sciences. Then, they studied elementary school math at the level of multiplication, multiplication and subtraction.

These extremely interesting lessons were something that the people of epoch had never seen before. Even a few old people sighed emotionally and said, "When I was young, if someone taught me this, I wouldn't have been so blind. I wouldn't have been able to become an adult, let alone these kids."

Ever since Jiao Si Er's head of Grandchild was kidnapped by Chun Shisanniang, he didn't cry nor make a fuss, and he was attracted by the atmosphere here at the first moment. There were some little friends here, and there was also an unprecedented amount of knowledge. Even though the child couldn't see his own mother, and he would sometimes cry, the fact that his own father was here also made the child feel a lot more at ease.

Master Jiao held his son in his arms and went through a miserable night. The next morning, the young master was called out by his kidnapper and was given the task of burning firewood in the kitchen.

"F * ck, Kid, our boss said that you can split firewood here peacefully. You just need to do your job well for a month. Later, I'll let you two go home." With that, he threw down his axe and left.

If the kidnapped bandit didn't want gold or silver, he wanted to split firewood? No one had ever seen a foreign mirror before, and the timid young master Jiao didn't dare to refute. He could only chop firewood and boil water to help. It hadn't even been two hours and his hands were already soaked in bloody blisters.

The work was arduous and tiring, but the young master Jiao didn't dare to refute him. If he had a shred of hope, he'd have to grab onto it. However, Tiger Head didn't feel scared or wronged at all. This child was indeed very smart. In just a few days, he had become one with En Yangzhong and learned all of his classes.

At the same time that the tiger-headed father and son were imprisoned in the Jing Dong Wine House, Jiao Si Er, who was far away from the Tanggu, did not know of it at all. He continued to dream of making a fortune and worked hard for Xiao Letian in the countryside closest to the Tanggu.

"My fellow townsman, think, think again! Your two acres of dry land wouldn't sell for twenty taels of silver in the past, so we'll double the price. Do you really need to think about it? "Idiot is selling them all …"

"What?" You said the land is inseparable... That's easy to do, I'll trade my land with yours, as long as you nod your head and trade one mu for two mu, you don't have to go too far, it's near our Tanggu, and you won't even need twenty li to go there … "

"Aiyo, you are accusing me unjustly. Of course the land we bought is planted, we are not here to run errands for that bullsh * t Special Administrative Region. We have nothing to do with them.

These few days, Jiao Si Er had been bringing his underhand henchmen around the entire Tanggu. However, what awaited them was a supercilious look and a cold expression. These local born Wu Tie were too lazy to even talk to them, and just closed the courtyard door without saying a few words.

"F * ck, this group of stubborn things, they really don't care about face at all when they give it back. I actually gave me a cold butt when I came to deliver the silver …" "F * ck, come over here. We'll start tonight. Let them know how many eyes Ma Prince has …"

That night, after everyone had fallen asleep, outside the manor that had refused Jiao Si Shu during the day, tall firewood stumps were ignited. In a short while, raging flames shot into the sky, and the dry firewood and straw that the farmers had accumulated for the entire autumn were all engulfed by the flames.

"There's a fire, hurry up and save the fire …" Countless figures rushed out of their houses, like iron basins and wooden buckets pouring cold water over their heads. However, how could a cup of water be of any use to them? The dry firewood was the best fuel for their fires, and people could only watch helplessly as the fuel for the entire winter was turned into ashes.

In the rural areas of the north, ordinary Popular could not afford charcoal and Coal. They could only collect large amounts of dry firewood, straw and hay in the fields during the summer and autumn. On one hand, the livestock in the house needed to be eaten, and on the other hand, fuel was also needed to cook and warm up. The fire was so vicious that it would be difficult for farmers with their fuel cut off to survive the winter.

It was already October in the lunar calendar, and the north was already in the frozen period. In ancient times, without the greenhouse effect, it was as good as dying without fuel.

Furthermore, the northern lands were already desolate, it was unrealistic to want to collect more wood fodder.

"Hahaha, this group of shameless bastards, I, your master, actually didn't know what to do." Are there no firewood left? Spend money to buy it, a bunch of poor bullies don't even dare to eat their fill, do they f * cking have the money to buy wood fodder? "

"Paupers, just you wait. This grandpa still has enough men to deal with all of you. I want to see how long you guys can last …"
