When Li Shouchang woke up, he felt that he might have had a nightmare, in which he unwisely launched a rebellion against the Liberation Army, and it was not until he personally experienced the strong combat effectiveness of the Liberation Army that he understood the practice of resisting and seeking his own ideas. At the end of the nightmare, the militia leaders who participated in the rebellion with him killed Li Shouchang. After experiencing the unhappy ending of falling into death, Li Shouchang finally woke up.

The feeling of waking up from a nightmare made Li Shouchang feel relieved. No matter how tragic the dream is, if you are still alive, you will have a qiē when you are alive. As his mind became clearer and clearer, Li Shouchang was about to stretch, and then felt a pain in his chest and abdomen. The pain was something I had never felt before, not just a point or a segment, but it hurt inside and outside the body.

Li Shouchang wanted to open the flyer on his body with his hand to see what was going on, but then he realized that his right hand was tied by something. If you look closely, you can see that there is an iron hoop on your right hand, and the iron chain on the iron hoop is locked to the head of the bed. Someone tied him to the bed.

Trying to lift his body and look around carefully, he saw that the walls of the room were snow-white, and next to the bed where Li Shouchang was lying were several empty beds, and the air was filled with the smell of lime water. Li Shouchang put his body back on the bed, this style was something he had never seen in Wuzhou, if someone adopted such a model, it would only be the Guangfu Army, an outsider.

All the hallucinations disappeared, and Li Shouchang understood that the "nightmare" he had just felt was very real. If it was only betrayed by several other militia groups, it could still be said that it would die early and take care of life. But Li Shouchang was unlucky, the nightmare not only did not end, but it continued, and falling into the hands of the Guangfu Army would only have a more tragic ending.

And this movement alarmed the people outside, and immediately several soldiers and people in white coats came in from outside, and when they saw Li Shouchang awake, the soldiers immediately went out again. Instead, the man in the white coat began to examine Li Shouchang's injuries and asked how Li Shouchang felt. Li Shouchang was discouraged at this time, but he didn't want to suffer any more. Whatever the coat asks, he answers.

"Li Shouchang's life is so big! After three days in a coma, I was able to wake up! This is a good way to transfuse! Luo Xuan, who learned the latest news, smiled.

At this time, it was already noon on January 13, and three days earlier, in the early morning of January 1o, the other three militia leaders raided Li Shouchang's camp and severely injured Li Shouchang. Then they immediately launched an attack on Li Shouchang's property. The main business content of Li Shouchang's family is to open a pawnshop, and the Li family's regimental training is besieging the Yamen of the Wuzhou prefect at this time, and the troops guarding the nest are insufficient.

The other three militia groups robbed Li Shouchang's family of gold, silver, fine softness and other easy-to-carry things, and then escaped from Wuzhou City with their own fine softness and fled in the direction of Guilin. It has to be said that this is a very smart choice. Although the Guangfu Army learned some news after dawn, because the troops were insufficient, and regained control of Wuzhou City, it was very difficult to defend against the attack of the boat army. At the same time, the troops also had to accept the properties of the four major militia groups in Wuzhou City and purge the remnants of the four major militia groups. Even if he knew that the three militia groups had escaped, he had no strength to pursue them, so he could only watch them escape.

Of course, for the Liberation Army, this harvest is extremely huge. Not only did they purge the opposition in the city, but they also seized a large amount of property. Needless to say, there are just dozens of shops and hundreds of houses in the city, which have completely fallen into the hands of the Guangfu army. This income allowed the Guangfu Army to take root in Wuzhou City.

Li Shouchang's militia no longer had the fighting spirit at this time, some were so frightened that they ran away, some hid in their homes and did not dare to show their heads, and some were panicked and did not know what to do. Li Shouchang is in good health, even though he was shot for several hours, he still has a breath. He was sent to a military hospital for surgery, and Li Shouchang's family was given a blood transfusion after a blood test, and now his life has been saved.

"I'll go see Li Shouchang!" Shen Xin volunteered.

"What are you going to say when you go?" Luo Xuan asked, and the other preparatory members of the Restoration Society were also waiting to see Shen Xin's statement.

Shen Xin replied: "I persuaded him to confess his guilt and confess all his accomplices." Anyway, he is dead, and he can pull more people into the water at this time, I think Li Shouchang will agree, right? ”

"Then if he is a dead duck with a hard mouth, he has to take all the responsibility alone?" Luo Xuan continued to ask.

Shen Xin replied: "Then make a fuss from his family, of course the property of the Li family must be confiscated, but we can bypass the people of his family who did not participate in this rebellion, and give them some money to move them to live elsewhere." In short, it is not to implicate innocent family members! ”

"Women can be spared, and small ones can be spared. But we cannot spare anything else. "Luo outline put forward his own bottom line.

"No problem, I think it's good." Shen Xin replied, his thoughts were the same. Shen Xin had the experience of being seized by the clansmen, sparing women and children, and solving other adult clansmen, Shen Xin felt that some kind of Cheng Dù was also angry with himself.

After having such a consensus, Shen Xin went to persuade Li Shouchang. Li Shouchang was deeply impressed by Shen Xin, this young "prison army" had threatened Li Shouchang with an extremely tough attitude, which was also one of the driving forces for Li Shouchang to take risks. But he didn't expect Shen Xin to just sue Li Shouchang, "We can spare your parents, wife, and children." Listen to us honestly if you want to. I wonder what Mr. Li thinks? ”

The approach of the Guangfu Army was very different, and in the Manchu period, parents, wives, and children were the main targets of involvement. If these people can be let go, Li Shouchang doesn't know what the Liberation Army is going to do. He asked hesitantly, "What are you going to let me do?" ”

After listening to Shen Xin's conditions, Li Shouchang was stunned at first, and then couldn't help laughing. It's just that when he laughs, he touches the wound, so that Li Shouchang can't laugh soon, otherwise, he is likely to laugh heartily. Even so, Li Shouchang asked with joy: "Are you Guangfu Army really not ready to be rogues?" ”

"We want to fight the world, sit in the world, not only Wuzhou is ours, but every city we will build in the future is ours. Why do you want to be a rogue? Shen Xin sneered. What he proposed just now was to ask Li Shouchang to confess all the people who participated in the rebellion, especially a group of relatives of the Li family. The Guangfu Army had no interest in killing women and children, but from a political point of view, the Guangfu Army had to uproot Li Shouchang and other militia forces from Wuzhou City. So there will definitely be some "wrongs" in this, but there is really no reason for the Guangfu Army to allow people who can inherit the power of the four major militia groups to survive, since the two sides have torn their faces, then the four major militia groups must be completely destroyed.

Li Shouchang stared at Shen Xin, he had long known that he was going to die, so he spoke straightforwardly, "How can I trust your words." You say that you will spare my family, but what if you wait until you have killed people and think that it is okay to kill a few more, so you can kill them too? ”

"If we want to kill people indiscriminately, then why should we ask you, or even save you. After cutting off your head, hang it in the city, and the people of Wuzhou City will naturally know that we have won. The reason why we didn't kill you, or to save your life before we killed you, was because we wanted to win a big victory. It's not just about killing people like this. "Shen Xin, as a winner, naturally has the generosity of a winner. He spoke very calmly.

Whether or not the bandits were caught, and whether the bandits could be executed publicly, was a very important matter for the war. Being able to catch the bandits and finally execute them in the middle is very effective in establishing order and dispelling the doubts of the local people. It would be better if the bandits could confess their guilt in their ears. In fact, the Chinese people do not care about the government killing people, and the people are worried about the government's indiscriminate killing, and the target of the killing is vague. When the scope of killing is very clearly limited to the rebels, especially after the government can be very lenient in pardoning the relatives of the rebels, the people are afraid that the government will still feel very humane.

When he told Li Shouchang about these contents, Shen Xin suddenly felt that he had become bad. In Shen Xin's eyes, human life is no longer human life, but a bargaining chip that needs to be considered in political means. To kill or not to kill, not from resentment or liking, not from pity or hostility. Killing or not killing is only a means, and the purpose of this means is to complete the political task assigned to Shen Xin by the Guangfu Huizheng Department with maximum efficiency.

Shen Xin felt a little weird about such a consideration, but he really couldn't find a reason not to do it. is just like the play that Shen Xin performed not long ago in order to force Li Shouchang and other militia groups to rebel. At that time, all Shen Xin had to do was to let Li Shouchang believe in one thing, if he didn't take advantage of the weak strength of the Liberation Army now, Li Shouchang and other militia leaders would only have an extremely tragic ending in the future. In fact, the so-called "tragic ending" is undoubtedly more tragic than the upcoming reality.

After listening to Shen Xin's narration, Li Shouchang was silent. After a while, he said, "Let me meet my family first!" ”

When he saw Li Shouchang crying bitterly when he met his family, Shen Xinxian relented again. Li Shouchang's youngest daughter was only four or five years old at this time, and she didn't understand what was born at all. Seeing that her father's face was pale and his upper body was wrapped in a lot of gauze, the little girl just said timidly: "Daddy, let's go home!" Let's go home! ”

Even if Fang Cai was talking about killing people in an extremely utilitarian manner, Shen Xin suddenly felt that his eyes were hot, and tears almost burst out of his eyes. He hurriedly walked out of the room, which was both a ward and a prison cell, for fear that his tears would be seen. Shen Xin didn't sympathize with Li Shouchang, he thought that after he lost his father when he was young, he was kicked out of the family business with his mother, and he could only live on a small amount of Weibo money, and then he felt that the little girl was so pitiful. Her life has been turned upside down at this time, but the child still has no idea, and just hopes to return to the life track she once knew.

Shen Xin found a corner where no one was, and finally stopped his tears. At this time, he made up his mind that no matter what he did with Li Shouchang's people, he would not accept the meaningless expansion of the killing to Li Shouchang's family. The child is innocent after all.

On the 2o day of the month, the trial of these people began in Wuzhou City. The backbone elements of the militia were sentenced to death, and the bandit Li Shouchang was naturally sentenced to death. However, Shen Xin was unable to see the execution with his own eyes, and the Guangfu Political Department ordered all the political committee members to rush back to Guangzhou to report on their work. Shen Xin felt like he had been pardoned for this order. The sight of the little girl shaking her father's arm always lingered in his mind, and as a member of the political council, he had to watch and even preside over the execution. This is really out of Shen Xin's current ability to bear.

So on the day he received the order, Shen Xin immediately packed his luggage and took a boat to Guangzhou City. Looking at Wuzhou City, which was getting smaller and smaller in the distance, Shen Xin let out a long sigh of relief.
