Alpine pasture

Chapter 612 Which side is justice

Back in Montana, life has become more regular again. Every day, I take my daughter to ride a horse, inspect the ranch and so on. After a week, Wang Fan passed the news of the domestic lawsuit, let alone the gallery. You can't see it even if you move your hands and feet. The two hundred and five finally lost the case under the iron evidence. Of course, the lawyer has to apply for compensation for the gallery's reputation. In the end, as Miles said, all the bonuses were returned. By the way It also brought legal fees and made the poor painter naked again.

After Ju An listened to it, she put it aside as a joke. With such a low IQ, you basically don't have an emotional quotient yet. What else do you draw?

On Saturday morning, Ju An drove out of the car and shouted loudly to the house: "Hurry up! Everyone hurry up, or you will be late."

As soon as Ju An's words were finished, the three little babies ran out. Nini ran towards the car with a younger brother in one hand, and Dinah followed behind with sunglasses and a basket in her hand. The lunch prepared by Ju An's mother, but this time, instead of going to a picnic, I went to participate in the historical military activities held by Nini School.

After Dinah got into the car and closed the car door, Ju An stretched out her hand and waved to the old mother at the door, and then drove the car with the family towards the event venue. This time the event was not at the school, but another Valley pasture.

By the time Ju An drove to the ranch, quite a few parents had already arrived, including Nini's teacher. There were only about twenty children in total, and the rest were little hairs brought by the parents and their parents. .

Anyway, everyone is familiar with each other, they say hello to each other, find a topic casually, and chat with each other.After waiting for everyone to arrive, the teacher asked the parents and children to enter the big house together. After Ju An entered, he found that there was a sand table in the middle of the big house.There are also some old-fashioned muskets in the cylinder in the corner.

The children naturally sat at the front, and the parents found folding chairs and put them down by themselves. The high and low chairs made the venue look a little messy. The organizer did not let everyone sit in a straight line or anything. , Some little babies were sitting directly on the tall bucket next to them, and no one came out to stop them.

While waiting for the start, a middle-aged man in gray clothes with a beard on his mouth stepped forward. Ju An saw that this military uniform had never been seen before, but it appeared in a movie, and he felt that these people were still full of professionalism. Yes, even the clothes are ready to restore history.

After listening to this man talk for a while, Ju An will understand. He is talking about the history of the American Civil War. Everyone knows that the United States was founded in a short time, and the wars that took place in the mainland, except for the Revolutionary War, the Civil War, and the Civil War. The only civil war in the United States so far, so both museums and historical scholars have studied the history of this period to the extreme.

This person was talking about a battle commanded by General Jackson, the general of the southern rebel army. The northern army suffered more than 500 casualties and more than 100 were captured, while the southern rebel army lost less than 300 people.While talking, the bearded middle-aged man in front used a small wooden stick to analyze the combat objectives of the two armies on the battlefield projected by the projector.

Referring to the final result of the battle, the southern army forced the Union army, also known as the northern army, to retreat, and finally the rebels took control of the whole area to the end.

Ju An was a fool to hear it. This history tells us that when justice is defeated, the rebel army wins. After listening to Ju An, you can hear the taste. It turns out that people are not talking about justice and injustice, but The damage caused by this history to the American people, how many Americans died in this civil war, and the cannibalism of siblings, educate the twenty-and-a-half-year-old children in front of them not to follow the old ways of their predecessors, Peace depends on everyone. Peace is not to be bestowed by anyone. It depends on every American, you, me, and all Americans to strive for it together.

After waiting for the middle-aged man's words to end, the children and the parents behind him naturally gave warm applause, and Ju An also admired these people sincerely. He dared to say anything. The child should tell the history, or the rebels will win. As for General Jefferson, there are still monuments to this southern rebel general in some parts of the United States.

Next is the children's activity time. Several people in military uniforms came in and took the children to look at the muskets used at that time, as well as medical equipment, pliers, tweezers, and medical books. Ju An looked at it and turned it over twice, and it also talked about how to do amputation.

After visiting these historical relics, the following is a woman wearing the clothes of the time, walking in with some hats in her hands, and stuck a hat from the Civil War on each child's head, the children were happy Heartily put on the hat, the middle-aged man who gave the lecture just now divided the children into two groups. Some of them played the role of the Federal Army, and the other part of the children played the victorious side of the battle, the southern rebels.Pick up the guns at that time one by one.

After the children received the muskets, a few adults in military uniforms took the children outside the house, and naturally the parents followed the children outside the house, but at this time the parents could only watch from the outside of the fence. A few beaters took them, lined up on the grass, and marched.And how to raise and use the muskets at that time, of course, these muskets can't shoot bullets, just teach these children the steps to use.

At noon, the children handed over their guns and ate lunch with their beaters. After lunch, they continued their military training.In the marching ranks, the shooting formation reviewed what was taught in the morning.

Ju An looked at Nini from outside the fence, carrying a rifle on her shoulders, and was marching, a small team of children was lined up crookedly, Xiao Chi was lying on the white fence, staring at her sister in the field, Xiaozheng's eyes were high enough to ride on his father's neck, grabbing Ju An's hair.

The two teams were separated, and the battle was re-enacted under the leadership of two beating commanders. The little children raised their guns and aimed their guns, as if they were lining up to be shot. After a while, the Yankee army, a dozen or so little children would die. After the defeat, the southern rebels, led by the commander, threw their hats to the sky to celebrate their victory, but unfortunately this time, Nini, the girl who lives in peace, belongs to the Yankees and has already retreated.

Next, of course, was to switch formations. This time, Nini finally threw her hat in the air. Ju An smiled and looked at Nini happily throwing her hat on the grass and said to Dinah, "See? Our family. Nini threw the highest, much higher than other children."

"Nini has already threw it a few times. It seems that she prefers hat-throwing games," Dinah said with a laugh beside her.

After the entire battle demonstration was over, the children continued to return to the house to take pictures with people in Civil War clothes, or take pictures with some historical sites.

Ju An walked to the middle-aged beard who was giving the lecture, and extended his hand to this man: "Hello! My name is An."

Beard stretched out his hand and followed Ju An and shook it: "Nick, nice to meet you".

"Are you a teacher at the school, or a researcher at the History Museum?" Ju An asked with a smile. These things are really full, the musket medical kit is scattered and there is even a tent for marching.

Nick smiled and shook his head and said, "None of them, these are my personal collections. I like to study history when I usually do. Ten years ago, I explained this history to my daughter's friends, and then their school invited me to go there. I explained this history to more children, and more and more schools invited me later. Now this is my second career, and I am a school bus driver in normal times.”Then he pointed at the other men in military uniforms in the room to beat people: "Those are all friends who have the same hobbies as me. They all came to help for free, and that is my daughter."Following Nick's hand, Ju An saw a girl wearing the clothes of the time, about high school age, taking pictures with the children.

"It's going to cost a lot of money for you to explain to the children back and forth like this," Ju An asked while looking at the things around him.

Nick nodded and said: "It used to cost a lot of money to collect these things, but now it doesn't have to cost much, it's the gas bill of the car, the main thing is time, but I think it's worth it, at least let these children living in peacetime Knowing the cruelty of the war at that time, when they grow up and face such a choice, I can let them remember that cruel history, don't stage the tragedy of the ancestors' cannibalism, and remember the importance of peace, I'm very satisfied." .

After chatting with Nick, Ju An joined the photo-taking team. At [-]:[-] in the afternoon, the activity was over. All the parents brought their children, and Nick and others also started to pack and prepare for the next town. Continue to spread his ideals.

When they got into the car, Ju An turned to Nini and asked, "What did you learn today?".

Nini looked at Ju An with her big eyes and said, "It's very fun, marching and fighting, I also learned to use a musket, but Dad, that gun is too troublesome, it's not as easy to use as the one at home, by the way! Dad's car is faster, it's here. I'm going to play with Emily and Angel at home."

Feeling this girl is fun for one day. Nick's mind is probably in vain today. The girl doesn't remember the cruelty of war at all.

When the car arrived at the house, Nini ran out of the car and ran towards Taylor's house with Teddy. Xiaochi and Xiaozheng continued to stay at home and play honestly. Xiaochi asked questions when he was free. My lord, when will Xiaohu come back from grandma's house?

As soon as Ju An got home, he got into the study and searched for the information of the American Civil War. Only after this search did he find that there was really too much information.

Even the victorious northern army, General Sherman, has a detailed record of the atrocities committed against the South. The northern general used looting, arson and wanton destruction against the people of the South, all of which have been recorded in history. , can't help but make Ju An wonder whether the sentence that history is written by the victors is accurate. There is no doubt that the North won the Civil War, and why the atrocities of the North were recorded instead of being covered up.Sometimes I really don't understand what Laomei and these people think.In this case of slavery in the south and murder and arson in the north, which side is just right?
