Chapter 152: The number of people skyrocketed
Takada found these "officers and soldiers" very strange, different from the officers and soldiers he had seen before, and the officers and soldiers in the past could be described in one word, that is, rotten.
These volunteers gave Gao Tian a strange feeling, feeling that the other party was righteous and awe-inspiring, with a neat military appearance, a straight waist, and a clean face, everything gave people the impression that they were the army of the righteous division.
This is one of the reasons why Takada is willing to go with them, if a group of beggar-like bandits come to recruit people, you see if anyone will go with them. No, they calculated it, after all, the bandits couldn't support themselves, and they couldn't recruit people to be bandits.
What Gao Tian doesn't know is that the essence of the volunteers is bandits, but these bandits are different from other bandits, and the volunteers are bandits, but they are not harmful to ordinary people, forming a strange phenomenon of wolves and sheep coexisting.
When he first arrived, the entire team of displaced people stopped, Gao Tian knew that this was going to be ready to cook, these days in a hurry, he was already familiar with the style of the volunteers, three dry meals a day, plus a piece of fish the size of a palm, thinking of this, he couldn't help but smack his lips, these people are really rich, and they haven't helped to do things, so they have such good food.
If he Gaotian, it would be good to give a bowl of gruel without doing anything, I don't know where the big dog is, of course he also wants to be a big dog, but unfortunately he is a poor man.
Of course, the volunteers are very generous when it comes to eating, but they also have a lot of rules, Gao Tian feels that the other party has too much, such as not drinking water that has not been boiled, and when he saw that the water there looked clean, he picked it up and drank it, who would care if the water was not boiled, that was the landlord was so particular, and the poor would care.
There is also a requirement for everyone, to wash the hands and feet clean, it doesn't matter if you don't wash, there is no food to eat, see such a good food, because the hands and feet are not clean, can not eat, Takada started, there is a feeling of a dog, can only be obediently cleaned, in addition, there is no casual pulling things, was seen by the volunteers, absolutely with a wooden stick to beat people.
Many bad habits of homeless people have been forcibly corrected by the volunteers, and under the teaching of the volunteers with a big stick in one hand and sweet dates in the other, there is no habit that cannot be changed.
Although Gao Tian slandered the rules of the volunteers, but after such a while, the surrounding homeless people looked much more pleasing to the eye, and the clothes on their bodies were tattered, but the people looked clean and neat, and their mental state was much better than before.
There are so many rules of the volunteers, everyone did not cooperate at first, and some people even wanted to incite the people to make trouble, but needless to say, Gao Tian saw that the volunteers tied up more than a dozen troublemakers, and cut them directly, and then everyone obediently obeyed.
As for seeing the volunteers so ferocious, they cut down the troublemakers directly, the homeless people don't care, those people are looking for death by themselves, to provoke others, and don't be wronged by others to kill chickens and monkeys, human life is not worth anything these days, who has never seen a dead person! Even children under the age of ten are used to seeing corpses. Leave? Joke, such a good food, just leave because of this little thing, who is willing to do it! After leaving, it is impossible to go back to graze.
These days, they are accustomed to the three full meals a day of the volunteers, and now the volunteers want to drive them away, crying and shouting and begging to stay, after all, the volunteers are like a savior to the homeless people in addition to cutting down the troublemakers.
Who will leave for this little thing, those volunteers are all ruddy and energetic, obviously people eat very well, plus so many homeless people eat, such a comparison, people eat so well for the people who have not done anything yet, if they help others to do things, will people treat themselves badly, if you can't understand such a simple truth, it's better to starve to death as soon as possible.
Gao Tian has been working hard these days, but there is nothing to complain about, embark on this road, don't regret anything, for safety, Gao Tian is still very relieved, the volunteers as the main force to fight, of course will not do patrol things, and among the displaced people, five hundred strong men were selected, formed a patrol team, found that the homeless had any illegal behavior, stepped forward to arrest people, if the homeless patrol team could not deal with it, then dispatched the volunteers, don't look at only two hundred and fifty volunteers, but shocked more than 8,000 people.
Li Qiang rode a horse, leading the homeless people to Zhangjia Village, this time from Gaozhou County to buy a lot of supplies, pony bought fifty-five, Gaozhou County market horses were swept away, the south is not a horse production land, can buy these horses is good.
More than 100 buffaloes were also bought, and there were more buffaloes in the south, so a lot of them were bought, because of the speed of the buffaloes, which dragged the speed of the journey, otherwise they could have returned to Zhangjia Village a day earlier.
It's a little slower, but the chief should be happy to bring back so many buffaloes.
When buying materials, it's not that no one wants to come over to make up their minds, those guys who come up to make ideas, Li Qiang directly came down and cut them down, deterring people who are about to move, there are examples of killing chickens and monkeys, no one dares to come to find trouble later, even if it is the people from the government, they are careful to avoid it, and just send people over to ask about the intentions of the volunteers.
Knowing that the Volunteers just want to take away the displaced people and buy all kinds of supplies, they simply don't care, as long as the Volunteers don't come to attack the county seat, they do whatever they like.
An army of unknown origin arrived at the county seat, and the county order of Gaozhou County was not stupid, and he could guess the identity of those people, but the county order was very interesting, and as for the reproach of the imperial court, forget it, the imperial court was attacked by the thief Li Zicheng, and now it is an eventful time, and it is better to have more than one thing.
There are not many people in the county who can fight, and they want the county to hit the stone with an egg, so the county order closes the door, and the outside is whatever it is. If the Volunteers don't provoke him, the rest of the things won't be so much.
What reassures the county order is that the volunteers did not disturb the people, and the business is in accordance with fair trade, these years, the army went to the place to rob the people, it is not a big deal, and even the army does things more than bandits, bandits do more than what they do, when they encounter such an army, the people have no way except to think that they are unlucky, they can't compare with the army, they want to go to the yamen to sue them, but the yamen also has no way to take those hills, the most speechless thing is that the army robbed the people, and the people did not dare to fight back, joking, fighting back, A rebellious anti-thief hat is fastened on his head, and if he is killed, he will only become a real thief, and the heads of those innocent people will be rewarded, and it is not incidental to kill good people and take credit.
The people really have no way to go to heaven, and there is no place to shout grievances, which is caused by the complete corruption of the military discipline of the Ming Dynasty. The Volunteers did not do this, but it seemed strange.
All the way back, seeing such a large group of people hurrying away, and carrying so many supplies, many eyeliners secretly observed, their purpose was very simple, they wanted to rob!
But everyone went down all the way, and no one came out to loot, isn't it strange! That's because I saw the extraordinaryness of the volunteers, those "green forest heroes" who wanted to block the road and rob automatically withdrew from the group, they wanted to rob Yes, but it doesn't mean that they are stupid.
The volunteers take a posture that doesn't look easy to mess with, and they really go up, who fights who doesn't have to, and the robbery also depends on the good of the object, if the volunteers belong to the soft persimmons, many green forest heroes don't mind going up and taking a bite of meat.
At this time, it is very simple to look at the opponent's combat effectiveness, mainly to look at the opponent's military appearance and mental state, to know whether it is a strong army, all these volunteers are not hidden and exposed, and the heroes of the green forest naturally retreat.
Li Qiang has always felt that there are malicious eyes, secretly peeking, knowing that he will disappear only when he returns to the boundary of Maoming County, if those people jump out, Li Qiang doesn't mind letting the other party know what is called the Volunteer Army, count them as interesting, the Volunteer Army, but not afraid of them.
After hurrying to Zhangjia Village, Li Qiang asked people to go back quickly to report that it was a lot of work for so many displaced people to be arranged.
Gao Tian was also relieved when he heard that he was about to arrive in Zhangjia Village, and he hurried for a few days, although eating could solve it, but he also felt tired.
Gao Tian soon noticed that something was different, on the official road, he saw a lot of people building the road, and after seeing the homeless people coming, he stopped and watched the homeless people pass by, and discussed in a whisper.
The next road has been very smooth, and many thatched huts have been built on the side of the road for rest, and soon more strange things were discovered.
There were very hard stones on the road, it looked like a whole piece, Takada stomped his feet on the kind of stone he had never seen before, it was very strong, how such a large flat stone, how to carry it to the side of the road, with his knowledge, he really couldn't understand.
