Chapter 28: Colonization
"What are you going to do? Quickly released the official, but the official was an official of the imperial court. ”
Halfway up the Yushan Mountains on the west coast of Liuqiu, in a wooded open space in the center of a stockade with hundreds of dwellings, a Han official in a cage shouted dumbly, his face was purple, but no one paid attention.
The lower part of the standing cage is wide and narrow, with a four-sided column, and the upper mouth is stuck in the official's neck, so that he can only stand on tiptoe, and after a long time, his neck can not bear the weight of his body, so he can only suffocate to death.
I don't know which immoral thing invented this kind of thing. In this kind of standing cage, after the prisoner is imprisoned, he generally puts the cushion under his feet first, and then withdraws the cushion after the neck is stuck on it, so that the prisoner is suspended in the air and suffocates to death.
The Han official shouted for a while, his voice had weakened, and seeing that he looked weak, I was afraid that he would not be able to support it for long.
The natives of the stockade came and went, but no one had mercy. Even the women and children were giggling and indifferent.
The village is located in the middle of the mountainside, the huge gate is made of thick rolling logs, and the wall made of stone is about three meters, which is isolated from the outside world.
On the gate of the wall, a Han official was nailed to it, his eyes were bleeding, obviously blinded, and he was dying, moaning in a low voice, and he couldn't bear to look at it directly.
The soldiers on the wall, armed with knives and guns, walked up and down, looking at the victims on the door, but they all turned a blind eye.
The gate was not two miles ahead before it reached the foot of the mountain. It can be seen that a new official road is being built, and on the side of the official road near the plain, a lot of land has just been reclaimed.
If you look closely, you can find that there are a lot of black-brown blood stains on the official road and on the newly cultivated fields, and the corpses are scattered all over the official road and in the grass.
In the middle of the procession, the soldiers carried a cannon, and in front of them were hundreds of knights in armor, all of whom were fierce and murderous.
When he came to the foot of the mountain and saw the blood stains on the ground and those bloody corpses, Li Zhuang got down from the first war horse, his face was pale.
"Commander Li, I'm afraid there are seventy or eighty corpses in this corpse, and the dog's attack is really ruthless!"
"Commander Li, do you want to clean up the corpses of the servants and the people first."
The soldier stepped forward and asked softly, Li Zhuang's face sank like water, but he waved his hand.
"I went to save the brothers in the government first, and then I cleaned up when I came back!"
The dead are gone, and now the most important thing is to save the living who have fallen back into the hands of these guys.
The guards secretly looked at Li Zhuang and found that his brows were furrowed, his face was extremely ugly, and he was obviously really angry.
The sound of horses' hooves and footsteps continued to sound, and the officers and soldiers appeared in sight, and they came in a row, step by step, neatly, towards the stockade.
The sound of the horn sounded in the stockade, and countless natives ran out of the stockade, either with knives and guns, or bows and arrows, in a mess, and soon stood on both sides of the wall.
If you look closely, there are still a number of women on the wall, armed with sharp blades, and their men, staring at the soldiers of the Loyal Army outside with malicious intent.
"Li Tongzhi, look, it seems that Su Xiancheng is on the gate of the wall."
The general who led the way pointed to the gate of the village, and his voice trembled a little.
"You see clearly, is it really Su Xiancheng?"
Li Qiang was taken aback, and the anger in his heart "rubbed" up.
"That's right, it's really Su Xiancheng. He is like this, I am afraid that Wang County's order is also more auspicious. ”
Tongshi's voice trembled, and the tragic situation in front of him shocked him.
Li Zhuang saw clearly the atrocities of Su County Cheng being nailed on the walled gate, and his eyes were red.
"Commander Li, this ...... What should I do?"
The general steadied his mind and stepped forward to ask.
The tall general's face was not good, today
I am afraid that the heavens will shed rivers of blood.
"He came up and shouted and told them that there was no law in killing and wounding officials and civilians. Let them hand over the murderer, otherwise Hugh blames Lao Tzu's subordinates for showing no mercy!"

Li Zhuang looked at the village in front of him, his face was extremely ugly.
Tongshi picked up the microphone made of iron sheet and shouted loudly, but it attracted a sneer from the wall of the other party's wall.
"Get out of here! Tell you that this is the land of our tribe, and that you have usurped our fields and destroyed our roads, and this is your punishment. It's better to leave early, or we won't get around you!"
"Get out of here! This is our territory, if you dare to mess around, the one on the door will be the end!"
After several local leaders on the walled wall finished speaking, it caused a burst of cheers from the surrounding local people, and everyone raised their swords and guns as if they had won a battle, shouting loudly, and being extremely arrogant.
"Tell them to let the people go first!"
Li Zhuang suppressed the anger in his heart and told the shouter next to him.
The request of the general affairs did not get the permission of the natives, but only increased their arrogance.
"If you want us to release people, send 200 stone of grain first. Otherwise, just wait for their corpses to be collected!"
"Want to let people go? Where do you think this is, you say put it away, get out of here!"
The general matter was translated, and Li Zhuang was angry, and he couldn't control it anymore and roared loudly.
"Where is the artillery? Listen to my military orders, immediately set up formation, and load ammunition!"
Li Zhuang was hoarse, and the gunners were in a hurry and hurriedly prepared. Shangguan's words are military orders, and no one dares to disobey them. The native soldiers in the village looked busy outside, sensed the danger, and hid behind the wall, eyeing the tiger.
Some of the local soldiers were puzzled. These outsiders, what are they going to do with these little tubes?
"Artillery bombardment of the wall, grenadiers on it, rescue Su Xiancheng, blow open the gate, pikemen follow!"
Li Zhuang's fingers trembled, the muscles on his face were twisted, and he kept issuing military orders. The soldiers were terrified, and everyone could see that Li Zhuang was really angry.
In my impression, since the establishment of the Shui Shi, Li Zhuang has never lost such a temper, so that the whole person is angry, as if he has lost control.
"Li Tongzhi, if he forcibly attacks, I am afraid that it will provoke a popular uprising and bring trouble to the long-term garrison of our army."
Fang Zhengnian, the deputy commander from the martial arts hall, hesitated in his heart.
"I only remember one sentence, those who offend me will be punished even if they are far away! These mobs killed our officials and civilians with such cruel means. If we do not use thunderbolt means, how can our army still seek to gain a firm foothold, and how can we reclaim the barren land?"
Li Zhuang glared at Fang Zhengnian fiercely, pulled out his knife, and roared loudly.
"Ready!"
The gunners began to reload their ammunition, the grenadiers took out the earth-shattering thunder, the pikemen raised their spears, and the troops were in full formation.
The people on the wall finally became a little nervous.
Fang Zhengnian shook his head slightly. It seems that a killing is inevitable.
His eyes swept over the natives on the wall, and Fang Zhengnian snorted coldly in his nose. Glamorous and arrogant, so cruel and arrogant, who gave them the courage?
Do they really think that they can resist the thunderous blow of the loyal army?
The sound of "Pengpeng" artillery rang out, the rubble on the wall of the wall was scattered, the stone walls were broken one by one, the natives behind the wall suffered heavy casualties, and the rest screamed wildly and fled backwards in panic.
The sound of artillery continued to sound, the explosions of earth-shattering thunder came and went, there was no need to blow up the walled gate at all, the walls on both sides collapsed countless times, and countless loyal soldiers poured in.
Although the two officials were rescued, the county order had already lost their breath, the county minister's eyes were destroyed, his legs and hands were seriously injured, and he became completely invalid.
There was slaughter everywhere, blood everywhere, the flames soared, and the whole stockade was reduced to ashes. Adult men are chased and slashed, even if
It is useless to beg for mercy. The woman and the old man who resisted a little did not let go, everyone was red-eyed, and the mountains were full of both sides fleeing and chasing......
In the end, there were less than 100 people left in the village, the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled, trembling in front of the fire and ashes.
"Let go of me, you dog officers!"
"Dog officer, you pay for the lives of our stockade!"
Several of the leaders were pressed up, and they cursed loudly and angrily, and were punched and kicked by the soldiers, and then held down and knelt on the ground.
"How many of you took the lead and killed our officials and people?"
The general whispered translation, Li Zhuang's face was gloomy, he dismounted, took the long knife handed by the guard, and walked to the kneeling heads.
"You dog official, you return the lives of the people of our village......"
A head man, still chattering to himself, red face and red ears, scolding vigorously in his mouth.
Before the words fell, the long knife in Li Zhuang's hand had already been cut down. The corpses were separated, blood was dripping, and the big head rolled to the ground.
Li Zhuang's face was hideous, and he continued to concoct the same method, and cut off the heads of the two heads.
"Dog officer, I am the leader of the village, I led someone to do it, and there is a kind of coming at me!"
A black-faced man in his forties scolded that he was the leader of the village.
"So you're the leader."
Li Zhuang turned his head and glanced at Su Xiancheng, who was blind on the ground, his hands and feet were bandaged, and he looked like a wasted person, and his eyes were hideous again.
"Don't you love to blind people and nail them to the gates? I'll give you a taste of it today. ”
Li Zhuang's coldness and careful translation with a pale face made the leader and the survivors watching frightened, and the soldiers next to him also turned pale.
"Dog officer, you can't do this to me!"
The leader's face turned pale, and the guards next to him went up, mercilessly, held down the leader, and immediately swung his knife and slashed down.
The tragic situation of the two government companions had already aroused the anger in the hearts of the army. If you don't take revenge, what kind of loyal army is it?
The leader let out a scream that shook the sky, his eyes were bloodshot, and he was dragged to the gate of the village.
The sound of "Bang Bang" nailing was endless, the leader let out a terrible scream, and the last remaining leader trembled, knelt on the ground, and kept kowtowing.
"Official, spare your life, don't dare to do it again!"
"It's too late to beg for mercy now."
Li Zhuang waved his hand in disgust: "Put this guy in the station cage and let him experience this taste too."
The guards put the man in a cage, and looking at the man's face flushed and struggling on tiptoe, Li Zhuang turned his head and faced a group of trembling natives, his face was extremely cold.
"Which of you want to try it too?"
Li Zhuang's voice echoed in the mountains, and the surviving 100 people all knelt down and kowtowed.
"Official, spare your life!"
"Fear is not virtuous! Listen up, if there is a next time, the chickens and dogs will not stay!"
The soldiers flaunted their might, leaving behind a group of stunned natives, all of whom were frightened and silent.
After a while, everyone dispersed. The leader cried out in pain at the gate of the wall, and the leader begged and cried in the cage, but no one paid attention to them, and no one dared to come forward to rescue them.
The villagers killed government officials and people who reclaimed the land and built roads, and the news of the Loyal and Righteous Army marching and suppressing spread. The loyal and righteous army fought hard, and the methods were so fierce that the heads of the various societies were frightened and appeased. In less than three months, the Loyal and Righteous Army recruited hundreds of villaged communities in various places, naturalized more than 50,000 people, and carried out the land reform and reclamation in an orderly manner.
