May 3 kidnapped two observers
Wusan kidnapped two observers
At six o'clock in the morning, there were not many people on Lingao Street. When the terrifying Hummer "Spirit Truck" suddenly appeared again, and a large number of short-haired troops were walking on the street at the same time, the few early morning pedestrians were also early.
Hide cleanly.
But things are different now. From time to time, one or two curious heads poke out from behind the cracks in the doors and windows. After getting along for so long, the locals also know that these short-haired people do not kill people randomly, and they are usually kind when they meet.
A few days ago, most people got a lot of grain and fine salt from them, and the public perception has been completely different.
But at this time, seeing them fully armed and looking murderous, no one dared to come up to Luo Su. They all just hid quietly behind the door and whispered...
"What is this for?"
"They must be running away. I heard that the imperial court in Fucheng sent a large army to destroy them. "
"Oh, what a pity. In fact, these people are quite good. They are not very harmful. They are just a little silly when there is a lack of manure... Huh? The mistress of the Zhang family is also there. He also voted for short hair?"
"Scare, Zhang Xiaosan has been working for Shorthair for a long time. He can pay his salary every seven days! He got a big bag of fine salt and white rice! What do they call this 'week'... This kid now also
I shaved my head bald, and it seems that I am determined to leave with him. "
…………
Although the voices of these miscellaneous discussions were not loud, the streets in the county town were not very wide, so they were more or less transmitted to the marching troops. It was not a big deal to the people traveling through it, and the local dialect was not very understandable. But to the locals in the team,
The child's mood is somewhat affected.
Everyone was required to shave their heads before going to war. It was originally just to prevent head injuries and make it easier to bandage, but in the eyes of local workers, it was no more than a job title - if the hair is long, it can be cut short, but this bald head
For a while, no hair grew. There was no monk temple or anything like that in Lingao, so of course the officers and soldiers would cut off the bald heads when they saw them.
"This is a poisonous trick. Even if you want to regret it once your head is shaved, there is nothing you can do about it..."
The labor crowd is full of such speculations. When they think that they will be the real "short-haired gangsters" from now on, everyone is inevitably a little scared. But no one dares to object openly - wouldn't it be wrong if they refuse to shave their heads now?
Do you admit that you have second thoughts? That is called seeking death.
Of course, most of the people who have this idea are civilians from "good families". Those who used to be pirates or military households have no worries. Since they followed these "gentlemen", their living standards have improved linearly. It turns out that
The long-awaited food and clothing are no longer a problem at all. Now the more savvy of these people are beginning to think about how to climb up.
The fact that more than thirty people were selected to serve as soldiers this time aroused an uproar among the previous batch of prisoners. These "predecessors" really kept their word, and the selected candidates would be ready immediately.
He received a leather armor with steel plates, which was a treatment that only officers could get in the Ming Dynasty army, not to mention the all-steel helmet with amazing protective power.
The gentlemen did not treat them as outsiders in terms of weaponry and training, and gave them everything they deserved. They were also mixed with their own people during the formation, and the veterans among the laborers could fully understand the meaning -
- This shows that the shorthairs have no intention of letting them take the lead as scapegoats, and they truly treat them as their own.
The saying "a scholar will die for his bosom friend" is rarely mentioned nowadays, but for the common people at the bottom of the Ming Dynasty, their thoughts are still quite simple. If they are given full trust here, they will also show what they have to offer.
Enough reward - of course the thirty or so selected men swore to work hard for the "gentlemen", but those who were not selected were also furious and felt that their failure was an insult.
In the end, Zhao Lide and Guo Yi had to do the work themselves. They excused themselves by saying that the equipment was temporarily insufficient and they could not be fully armed, but each of them was completely trusted and there would be a lot of development opportunities in the future... Wait, then
People's hearts are calmed down.
So now, the performance of this group of "new shorthairs" is even more dedicated than modern people. The old cunning Zhang Lushan took the initiative to find Tang Jian, who was leading the team at the front, and reported to him the unstable situation in the team behind him.
"Captain Tang, do you think the street has been cleaned up?"
The so-called cleaning of the street is nothing more than a vicious trick to scare people away. In the eyes of an old man like Zhang Lushan, it is normal, but the people who travel through the streets pay the most attention to the direction of public opinion, so how can they do such a thing.
Tang Jian's eyes widened. What kind of street could our team in the new era be unable to deal with such a trivial matter? He stopped and turned around, raising one hand high:
"All are here: forward, forward, forward... ready to sing!"
"Forward, forward, forward - our team, toward the sun..."
Both the old and new shorthairs shouted at the top of their lungs. They shouted a ** song so wildly and out of tune. Some of the words were also changed. But it doesn’t matter, as long as it’s tidy enough!
As expected, the loud singing completely overwhelmed any whispers. It also made the new members who were a little timid at first raise their heads and chests up - I just hang out with shorthairs, how about it!
In any case, the spirit of collectivism is always the most inspiring tonic.
When Tang Jian and others were about to leave the city with this team, they were surprised to see two withered-looking scholars waiting there at the gate of Lingao City - it was Cheng Yegao, the magistrate of Lingao County, and his
Master Li Changqian.
These two people had helped them a lot in the past few days. Since they were stuck here, they must have something to say. Professor Li Mingyuan was not here as a left-behind staff, and the team was full of young people. So Wang Haiyang was asked to lead the team forward.
, Tang Jian, Xie Xi, Pang Yu and others took the initiative to greet them.
After not seeing each other for a few days, Cheng Yegao's face turned out to be extremely haggard, and his originally quite black hair was already half gray. Master Li next to him was also the same. The two of them saw a few people passing by from a distance, and at the same time they held hands in greeting.
, and managed to show a smile, but that smile was uglier than crying.
"Why, Lao Cheng, you made a special trip here, why are you so polite. "
Jie Xi strode over first. This guy has always acted bold and bold in front of Cheng Yegao since he was embarrassed last time, saying "what do we Shandong guys do"... In fact, people probably already knew that he was full of tricks.
The intestines are no smaller than those of humans.
Cheng Yegao smiled bitterly:
"Finally we got to know each other. I was grateful to you all for your kindness. We say goodbye here and we will never see you again in the future. It is better for the county to go back and arrange for the elders to prepare to welcome the imperial army to avoid the loss of life. "
Although he didn't say it in his words, from what he said, he would probably find a rope to hang himself after he returned.
The few people here looked at each other helplessly. It is normal for Cheng Yegao and the others to think so. According to the combat plan, even the left-behind personnel will evacuate the county after the large forces set off. The county warehouse compound will be completely emptied, and the farms and salt fields will be completely evacuated.
Only some local personnel will be retained to take care of it, and everyone will gather at the new industrial zone to try their best to give the Ming army spies sent by Qiongzhou Prefecture the illusion that the short-haired bandits are afraid of fighting and running away. Now it seems that even the county magistrate has been deceived.
Already.
However, Cheng and Li were not among the targets of the deception, so they could know some of the truth.
"I misunderstood, Mr. Cheng, we are not trying to escape. "
Pang Yu laughed and explained. Li Changqian next to him had the most contact with Pang Yu and they were relatively familiar with each other. Hearing this, he couldn't help but interject:
"It's already here, why bother to hide it. The five thousand troops in Qiongzhou Prefecture are ready to go. It's only human nature for you to run away after hearing the news. It's a pity that the people of this county have suffered..."
Pang Yu tilted her head and smiled. Master Li always likes to be smart, so he was still irritating them with words at this time.
But there is no need to worry about it, because Tang Jian next to him has already spoken:
"We never thought about giving up our base! There are only 5,000 people. We are going to deal with them this time and come back after the battle. "
The two literati looked at each other, their eyes clearly full of disbelief. They were not expected to believe it, but Pang Yu suddenly had a whim:
"Seeing is believing. If you two don't believe it, you might as well come with us and see for yourself. But there is one thing we must agree on in advance - if you see our layout, you will not be able to leave until the battle is over. Fortunately, I guess it will be useful.
In a few days, how about it? Are you interested?"
The two Ming Dynasty literati looked at each other. Before they could figure it out, they had already understood Pang Yu's intention. He immediately put on a "magnanimous appearance of a Shandong man" and stepped forward to give Cheng Yegao a half-forced hand.
Pushed into the Hummer.
"Okay, Lao Cheng, I know what you are worried about. If we are really going to lose or run away, why don't you still plan to hang yourself? You can hang yourself anywhere, just take off your belt and find a crooked-neck tree. You can do it here.
Let’s take you to see the excitement first. ”
The "invitation" that was half joking, half serious, but completely unacceptable made Cheng Yegao, a scholar, completely dumbfounded. When he recovered from his confusion, he found that he was already sitting in that strange "ghost car"
After getting on, Master Li also sat beside him stupidly, still stunned.
The speed of the car was not fast, but the two Ming Dynasty scholars who got on the jeep for the first time did not have the courage to jump out of the car. After being stunned for a long time, the two of them were finally attracted by the novelty of the Hummer and began to study this car.
A car is coming.
Outside the jeep, in the marching column, Pang Yu and Lao Jie were snickering:
"The county magistrate went to the battlefield with us. Both the Ming army and the locals were shocked to see him. "
Chapter completed!
