XXXVIII. Murder
"Boss, this man can't be killed!"
When there are many people, Xi Yingzhen is never called Xiao Wu.
Look at the blinking of his eyes, you know that he has something to say.
"Take it down first, take care of it!"
Zhu Wu waved his hand, and the soldiers tied up Zhang Jiusi and a few people like pigs, and dragged them away.
After waiting for a few people left in the room, Zhu Wu asked, "Old Dao, what do you mean?" Can't be killed? ”
Xi Yingzhen nodded, with a rare solemnity on his face, "Not only can't you kill, it's better to let it go!" ”
Zhu Wu stared at him for a while, "Old Dao, you can be clear!" ”
Others said that Zhu Wu may not listen. But Xi Yingzhen has never taken the initiative to express his opinions on major matters, and now he must have his own opinions if he is so solemn.
"Taizhou is to the east of us, and the Dingyuan army can't reach it now." Xi Yingzhen said slowly, "Our Dingyuan Army now looks as stable as Mount Tai, but it is not. Now the government in various places can't afford to provoke us, but if the imperial army comes to attack, we will meet the enemy on all sides.
Instead of letting these places live in peace, it's better to put these people back. They are born in Yanding, and there are tens of thousands of Yanding in Huaidong, and they are the most brave. If they make trouble again, the court will not care about us. We can secretly fund it, the more they make a scene, the better, it's better to have such a group of friends and not enemies on the side than to stare at our officers and soldiers! ”
Lao Dao is confused today!
The more Zhu Wu listened, the more frowning he became, let's not talk about whether these people can succeed, even if they succeed, they are enemies and not friends, where are friends and not enemies! If this group of people gets up, the first thing the knife is aimed at is Dingyuan is Jinling. In this troubled world, thinking about this set of things, this is not a foolish thing!
"Daoist Xi's words are wrong!"
On the side, Hu Weiyong, who stretched his neck to listen, sneered and said, "How can you allow others to sleep soundly under the couch, let them make trouble in Huaidong, and wait for them to become the climate, isn't it to raise tigers?" ”
"If they make trouble, and they help us block the officers and soldiers, isn't it?" Xi Yingzhen didn't look at Li Shanchang, and continued to say to Zhu Wu, "Let's set the Yuan Army to make a big splash sooner or later, they are making trouble in the east, let's go south, isn't it better to go west?" Our naval warships will be launched in half a year, and then they will go down the Yangtze River, occupy Jiujiang and take Nanchang, and occupy all the southeast land of Mengyuan. No matter how happy they are, they're just our watchdogs! ”
"Nonsense!"
At this time, Li Shanchang retorted again, "Let's set the Yuan army to cross the river, with Jinling as the foundation, and seek a rich land in Jiangsu and Zhejiang." The city is fighting slowly, and you can't run there anyway. A few cunning people who spied on my Dingyuan sharp weapon, the mountain and village man, where did they get into the eyes of the Taoist chief, and said it so solemnly! ”
There are people like Jiusi in the world, why are they worthy of the old way?
In this troubled world, there is no shortage of ambitious and courageous people. People who want to succeed lack luck are lucky.
"You~~~"
Xi Yingzhen is not good at talking, which made Li Shanchang grab the white for a while, and he was suddenly angry.
"These people must be killed!"
Zhu Wu somewhat understood Xi Yingzhen's intentions, stood up from the chair, and said, "Dao Chief's heart is good, and I understand his thoughts." Let them go back to Huaidong and let them make trouble. If you can't make trouble, let's secretly help them make trouble, and let them serve me as the Lord, right? ”
"Exactly!" Xi Yingzhen nodded.
"If there are other heroes who want to rebel in the future and ask us for this, let's do the same, right? In this way, in this southeast area, we have the reputation and righteousness of commanding the heroes, don't we? is like Liu Futong in the north, nominally ordering the northern red scarf! ”
Seeing that Xi Yingzhen nodded again, Zhu Wu continued, "Dao Chief, you are a kind-hearted person, you don't know the thoughts of us outlaws!" ”
Saying that, Zhu Wu smiled, "Your idea is good, but in this world, no one is as reliable as the knife and gun in his hand." Today's friends can be tomorrow's enemies of life and death, not to mention these illusory things! Am I not an example? Originally, Guo Zixing was a general, but now?
Zhu Chongba once told me that there is no way back from the rebellion, but only to keep moving forward.
I said, there are no companions on the road of rebellion, and the enemy in front is easy to block, but the knife behind is difficult to defend.
Let's stay far away, we don't need any vain allies, and we don't need to kill watchdogs!
Lao Li is right, the city is there, you can't run, let's fight slowly. Let's set the Yuan army to work together, who are you afraid of him? Who have I, Zhu Wu, been afraid of? Let's set the Yuan Army just to let the people of the world see, how capable we can fight! ”
"The Lord is reasonable~~~"
Zhu Wu said a lot in one breath, and the others echoed one after another.
"But that's not the real reason I'm going to kill them!"
Zhu Wu smiled bitterly again, "Our Dingyuan Army is now a big tree, how many eyes are looking at us!" How many people are staring at our secrets! Today someone has the idea of palm thunder, tomorrow someone has the idea of artillery! If someone offends me, and I don't kill it again, then I, Zhu Wu, am not the biggest fool in the world? ”
"Besides, in the final analysis, the soldiers of our Chinese army who want to be punished canonically are killed because of them. I've got to bring some funeral companions for my brothers! ”
Xi Yingzhen was silent.
The road of fate is the most uncertain, and even if there is an inconspicuous inflection point, it will deviate from the original track and go in a completely different direction.
Zhang Jiusi, a very common name in this era. A man who is not willing to be oppressed and bullied, a man who dares to think and do. If he hadn't met Zhu Wu, it seems that he could really make some waves.
Now, he can only wait in fear, waiting for death.
Winter mornings are always foggy and hazy to see.
The suona assembled by the Dingyuan army sounded abruptly, and in several military camps, countless Dingyuan soldiers were combined.
On the handsome platform, Zhu Wu stood straight under the handsome flag.
Countless soldiers looked up to their commander, waiting for his voice.
However, Zhu Wu did not speak.
Lan Yu's pro-soldier law enforcement team led by Lan Yu pressed a string of frightened, struggling, crying, or numb soldiers to the stage.
The ghost-headed broadsword of the law enforcement team is full of cold light.
The red cloth on the handle of the knife fluttered in the wind, like a spiritualist pan.
"Your own people?"
These soldiers kneeling on the ground were the battle jackets of the Dingyuan army. There are even more people who find familiar faces inside.
"What's wrong?"
Many people secretly speculate that someone has violated the military law of the marshal and wants to be executed?
But this is nearly a hundred people, can it be said that a whole team has violated military law?
Just as the soldiers were pondering in their hearts, Lan Yu stood on the platform, pulled open a document with both hands, and read it aloud.
"Today, there is the chief manager of the Chinese army, Zhang San, the officer of the 300th team of the firearms battalion, Liu Wu, the deputy officer, and Chen Si, the commander of the group. Ignoring the ban of the marshal, ignoring the safety of our Dingyuan army, and privately selling the sharp weapons of the Dingyuan army, the palm of the thunder. Lawlessness and heinousness.
There are also 83 soldiers in the same team, who did not report it and deliberately concealed it, and were guilty of the same crime as the team officers.
On the orders of the commander, execute on the spot! ”
The soldiers in the audience who were not moving like a mountain had their eyes moved.
Privately sold?
Palm Thunder?
Death!
After Lan Yu finished reading, Zhu Wu's voice sounded again.
"Brothers, the palm thunder is the weapon of our Dingyuan Army, I won't say how powerful it is!"
Zhu Wu stood on the stage, his voice floating, "This thing, in the world, only our brothers have it, and only our brothers can use it to kill the enemy."
But these people, for a little money. Actually sold our secrets to others.
What happens if someone else takes the palm thunder? If someone else learns how to use this thing, how to use it. The next time there is a war, it will fall on our own brothers.
Others will use this thing to kill us, and you say, they deserve to die! The whole army screamed, "Damn it!"
"Execution!"
Without any more words, Zhu Wu ordered indifferently.
Burst! A mouthful of wine squirted onto the Devil's Head Knife.
The death row inmates with their mouths gagged could only cry weakly.
Burst!
In an instant, the sword flashed, and the head turned to the sky.
Several headless bodies leaned forward in an instant, their bloody necks pressed against the ground, as if they were repenting of their sins.
In the team of death row prisoners behind, Zhang Jiusi's eyes instantly widened and he struggled violently.
Somehow, he spit out the rags in his mouth.
"Mr. Zhu~~~ I can help you recruit salt, tens of thousands of salt~~~~ I can serve you, I know how to break Taizhou~~~~ Huaidong is my brother~~~~"
