After handing over the tasks and assigning them in the morning, it was over in half an hour, Li Guolou got up and said, "In the morning, I will go to see the border between Balizhuang and Qilitun, Holly, Zhou Jian, you accompany me to have a look!" ”

Zhou Jian hurriedly said: "Captain Li, you can't look at it like this, there is a sentry near the dividing line in the Qilitun bully village, as long as we step into the baseline of their village, we will shoot, if any cow or sheep runs to the Qilitun area, don't want to come back, you better be careful, in case you are shot by a bullet, isn't it a joke!" ”

Li Guolou was taken aback, Lang Lang Qiankun, the sky is blue, the sky is white, someone will shoot the Qing officials, isn't this a rebellion, his heart is on fire, it seems that it is not possible to repair the Qilitun bully village Zhengjiang, it is a big deal to go back and forth "desperate plan", buckle the hat of the traitor and the same party, and fight in a net, anyway, the two-legged people of the Qing Empire, as many as there are, and the number of officers and soldiers to suppress bandits, the better.

"*** Xiong, is there still a king law, Cheng Kun, point a team of twelve people, Sun Yue, point a team of twenty-four people, go on patrol with this officer, and bring grenades." Li Guolou was ruthless, his temper came up, and he was ready to fight.

Needless to say, the villagers of Bali Village were overjoyed, hoping that the officers and soldiers would really fight with the Qilitun people, and they would be able to reap the benefits of the fishermen.

Li Guolou's subordinates had just made a war fortune, and they were all ready to move, and no one reminded Li Guolou that this was wrong, and said, "Order." "Just go and assemble the team.

In the courtyard of Yunmeng Tower, the wind is loud, and there is a tense scene when the war is killed, and the soldiers roar with all their strength when they report the roll call, and their blood boils when they go to the front line, infecting everyone around.

More than 30 people carried spears on their backs, thirteen war horses, armed to the teeth of the team out of the village to the south, walking the mud field path, next to a small river gurgling into the distance, both banks are willows hanging on the bank, birds singing and flowers in the season, making people feel refreshed and happy.

Li Guolou rode in the middle of the team, wearing an official uniform and still very eye-catching, looking at the woods and bushes in the fields, the ambush scene appeared in his mind, if they attacked the enemy-occupied area with a group of men and horses, I am afraid that they will enter the sea of people, and thousands of people will surround it, which is not enough for people to drink a pot.

In the fields, patches of wheat grew gratifying ears of wheat, and among the green oil fields, exuding a sober atmosphere, Li Guolou stretched out his horsewhip, pointed to the country, and said: "If we come in September, this will be a cornfield, and then we will not be able to dispatch, and the guerrilla tactics will make us die ugly!" ”

Holly rode a short mule horse, nodded hurriedly, and echoed: "That's that, Captain Li is clever, remove the unfavorable factors, we will definitely win this time." "I hope that the Qilitun guards will shoot and kill the officers and soldiers in front of them first, then there will be no way to resolve this dead knot, and more than 100 officers and soldiers will take revenge and slaughter the villagers of Qilitun.

After the team marched three miles, the front is the junction of Balizhuang and Qilitun, the mouth of the river is relaxed, the water flows slowly to the farmland of Qilitun, outside the boundary monument, there is a row of big bluestones on the ground, the boundary between the two villages is clearly divided, there is also a row of birch trees planted in some places, the two villages are clearly distinguished, and the old and dead do not come and go.

There are also two towers built in the Qilitun field, forming a corner, and from a distance you can see people holding guns and sentry above.

Looking at the terrain on the battlefield, Li Guolou put down the binoculars in the distance and asked, "Squad deputy, can you fight it!" ”

Cheng Kun sneered and said, "Captain Li, don't worry, wooden tower, if you hide again, I will beat him up!" ”

Li Guolou said loudly: "Wave the snow mountain lion flag to this officer, beat the war drums, and keep the battle formation forward." He still maintained due restraint, if this position, the other party dared to shoot, it would be equivalent to a rebellion, and don't blame him for being ruthless and massacring civilians.

"Knock knock knock." The people on the tower took the lead in beating the copper drum and summoned the people in the village, and the people on the tower broke their throats and shouted, "Stop, which part, go further, shoot!" ”

The officers and men did not hesitate to advance, crossed the demarcation line, and stepped into the Qilitun territory, ignoring the shouts of the people on the tower.

One of the tower guards couldn't help but shoot into the air, trying to warn the incoming enemy, "Bang. A gunshot rang out, piercing the sky.

Cheng Kun didn't think much about it, he raised the Shaspo-style breech gun in his hand, and aimed and shot, "Huh." "There was no sound in the tower, and I would never scream again in my life.

The people in the other tower were so anxious that they shouted, "Don't shoot, sir, I surrender!" ”

A spear was thrown down from the tower, and the guard did not dare to move on the tower, angry that another companion was blind, how could he shoot at the officers and soldiers, was not it self-defeating.

Cheng Kun walked in a zigzag step, approached the tower, and shouted: "Give me down, otherwise Lao Tzu will shoot!" ”

"Don't shoot, don't shoot, I'm down." The guards obediently climbed down the tower.

An officer and soldier climbed up the tower, threw down one of the dead guards, and climbed down the tower with the captured spear on his back.

Li Guolou looked at the fallen corpse, and said viciously: "Stinky boy, you dare to rebel and destroy your whole family." "He stood up for righteousness first, and he was determined not to fall into his position, so that no one could say any.

A middle-aged man in a satin coat, with an entourage, empty-handed, shouted from afar: "Don't shoot, don't shoot, there is a misunderstanding, listen to me, Captain Li and I are friends·······"

After the body search, the middle-aged man was brought to Li Guolou, Li Guolou looked at the middle-aged man in front of him suspiciously, and there was no trace of impression in his mind, where had he seen this person.

The middle-aged man was searched by the crotch of the officers and soldiers, and stood in front of Li Guolou without dignity, leaning over his body, raising his head, and saying with a flattering smile: "Captain Li, forget me, didn't we drink together in Huangcun at the beginning, and you also introduced the foreigner comprador to buy our Qilitun armed forces, you forgot!" ”

Li Guolou finally remembered that when Huang Village was handling the case, the village Zhenghuang had invited several big landlords in other villages, and at that time, several village landlords wanted to buy guns and armed security teams, and he also introduced them to the big guy Du.

"Oh, I remembered, Wang Ren, Wang Daguan, right, it turns out that you live in Qilitun, I knew this, I should have visited you first!"

Wang Ren Yu Guang had already seen a corpse, and another bound guard also asked him to save his life, knowing that the officers and soldiers originally wanted to clean up Qilitun, and if they didn't agree, they would bring the disaster to Qilitun, but fortunately, Li Guolou, the captain of the officers and soldiers, was his friend, and the crisis could still be resolved.

"Captain Li, misunderstanding, please be merciful to your subordinates, there is something to discuss, the children are ignorant, shoot indiscriminately, you must not buckle the big hat of rebellion." Wang Ren begged and was distressed, kept fighting, and saw that Li Guolou did not respond, gritted his teeth and knelt directly on the ground, and then bowed to the courtesy.

Li Guolou sighed for a long time, a murderous intention occupied his heart, slowly softened, helped Wang Ren, and said: "Wang Daguan, who called us friends, I see your face in this matter, I won't mention it anymore, where is Jiang Zheng, why don't you come to see this official!" ”

Wang Ren had tears in his eyes, and he was worried about his heart, and finally put it down, and defended: "Captain Li, we have Qilitun in Qilitun, you must not listen to the words of the people of Balizhuang, Jiang is my eldest nephew, the stinky boy does not know the height of the sky, I will go back to implement the family law, Captain Li has something to say to my house, what is wrong with Jiang Zheng, I will kill him on the spot!" ”

A few words have clearly told Li Guolou that Qilitun is the king of the world, and Jiang Zheng is just the person who holds the right position in the village.

The local squires have a huge power, some are big families, and even the government does not let go of them, but there are also people who are officials, and there are families who have no one to be an official in several generations, and they will not be left behind.

Li Guolou squinted and said: "Wang Daguan, it won't be the Hongmen Banquet, did you hear the sound of cannons early the morning before yesterday, no matter how strong the fortress is, it can't stand two cannons!" ”

Wang Ren was afraid that Li Guolou would transfer troops, and if there was no rebellion in Qilitun, it would become a rebellion, and he would bear the brunt of it, eliminating a big household, it was the officers and soldiers who liked to do things, wiped the cold sweat with a handkerchief in their hands, stumbled and said: "Captain Li, I was born in a scholarly family, how can I do such a thing, you can rest assured, you give me face, I will not be a villain, everything is easy to discuss!" ”

Li Guolou squinted at Wang Renren, weighing it repeatedly in his heart, if he didn't enter the tiger's den, he would get the tiger, if he didn't even dare to enter the little Qilitun, wouldn't it make people see a joke, nodded and said: "Okay, this official believes you once, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, who dares to come to the moth, there is no good fruit to eat!" ”

"Please, please, Captain Li, I'll lead the horse for you." Wang Ren used Fengying's ability to shoot horses, and pulled Li Guolou to ride the black horse.

Li Guolou raised his voice and said: "Deputy of the team, please get on the horse, let's go into the village hand in hand, the two of them here are dead and alive, first escort back to Balizhuang, and then deal with it when we come back!" ”

Li Guolou thought of the bad result, the two captured guards were the evidence of the crime, in case of a fire, he still had a backup move.

Li Guolou and Wang Ren walked side by side, each with a ghost fetus, and the two of them had their own calculations, and only Sun Yue and other ten members of the civilian team behind them, as well as Balizhuang Dongqing and Zhou Jian, followed Li Guolou into Qilitun.

The earthen wall of Qilitun is full of gun-wielding villagers, densely packed with people, indicating that this is a big village, Li Guolou looked at the women holding children on the street, as well as a pair of thieves' eyes, and already knew why Qilitun would lose its conscience and seek to seize the land and water resources of Balizhuang, the population crisis emerged in Qilitun, according to the principle of fairness and justice, how do the villagers of Qilitun live, reasoning is to be carried out under acceptable circumstances for both parties, life can not go on, who will be reasonable.

Li Guolou rode a horse, although he was still silent, but he no longer showed his eloquence, Balizhuang suffered a loss, so many people died, and he just didn't need so much land.

This is the benefit of war, the population of all dynasties has reached a critical point, there will be war, it seems that the cruel war is the way for human self-digestion, after the chaos there will be a great rule, put the halo of glory on the head of the holy monarch, how to solve the population crisis, the slaughter of the city is a social regression, countless kings still choose to slaughter the city this road, the Manchurians will use this trick to get the world, the land and residence of the Beijing Division, the Manchus get it with enclosures, so that countless Han people are displaced, the Qing Dynasty does not need to be reasonable, and now everything is well documented.

Li Guolou looked at the hateful faces on the street, the villagers of Qilitun hated to peel him, pull him tendons, where to go, so that he had no choice, because Li Guolou already knew that no matter how he chose, it was wrong.

The good way is to slaughter, whether it is right or wrong, kill one side, history is written by the victor, he can write a brilliant stroke on his resume, just like the officers and soldiers killed in Tianjing, the capital of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and let a city start over like a child, but he can't do this, he is not an executioner, and he doesn't need the blood of the common people to stain the red top and wear a flower feather.

Li Guolou sat on his horse and sighed: "Wang Daguan, it's hard for you to govern such a big village, it's not easy!" ”

The code words have been issued, Li Guolou took the lead in speaking softly, Wang Ren didn't hear that Li Guolou wanted to let him go, and no longer stood up for Balizhuang to ask for the 500 acres of land and water sources.

But listening to it well, Wang Ren said with emotion: "Lord Li said yes, it's hard, I want to raise more than 500 households, more than 2,600 people, this courage is too heavy, I want to sell the land several times, leave Qilitun, and go to the concession to live a rich life, but I want to have grass and trees here, and I can't bear it, I ······ for Qilitun."

The nature of the landlord is like this, he will die on his own land, Li Guolou did not listen to the king to serve as a meritorious person, different classes, have different ways of understanding suffering, brocade clothes and jade food, beautiful wives and concubines, mansions and good fields, there should be a big landlord Wang can be bitter where can he go?
