Chapter 55: Fighting Local Tyrants
This is the second time Lin Tian has entered Fucheng, and compared to the last time, it is not an exaggeration to say that Fucheng is a refugee camp now. The streets are crowded with refugees, everywhere.
Compared to the last time the street was prosperous, it is now in a dilapidated state. A large number of shops are closed, as long as there are shops related to food, Lin Tian and his family have not seen it.
Presumably, the battle ahead completely hollowed out the city, leading to a great depression in the market, more and more unemployed, and therefore more and more refugees. And those restaurants that eat food are probably being robbed by refugees, and they don't dare to open anymore.
Lin Tian asked Dolu, and the number of city guards in Fucheng was only more than eight hundred people. Eight hundred men had to defend the city and manage the security of the city, and they couldn't manage it at all. It can only avoid major conflicts, so today's frustrated city is a small matter everywhere, and there is nothing the city guards can do about it.
After entering the city, Doru first went to visit his relatives, and then went to settle the city's affairs. Lin Tian was inspecting the situation in the city, walking along the way, and the refugees on the side of the road all prayed to Lin Tian for food, hoping that Lin Tian would have mercy on them.
Lin Tian turned his head and said to Tiewa: "You rush back as fast as you can, tell the patriarch uncle, transport all the food of our Tianmeng, and then organize all the people in the village to go out to salvage a batch, and then transport it over." Remember to be quick, and when you come, the carriage will be towed. By the way, also, on the way back, meet our troops, and ask them to wait for you, and then you will enter the city together. ”
"Then I'm leaving, who will protect you?"
Lin Tian glanced at the indifferent ghost face on the side, "Don't worry, isn't there another person?" ”
"But ......"
"Go ahead, it's too late if it's slow, remember to hurry!"
Tiewa was still very worried about getting on the horse, turning back three times one step at a time, quite reluctant. Lin Angel waved his hand behind him, telling him to hurry back, Tiewa gritted her teeth and waved her horsewhip and galloped away.
"Is this your second request?"
After Tiewa left, the ghost face said lightly.
"No, no, no, I haven't mentioned it yet, remember, you still owe me 2 things."
After speaking, Lin Tian, who was in a good mood, went to Doru to discuss how to deal with Bai Yan.
When Lin Tian found Doru, Doru was anxious about the lack of food in the city. It wasn't like this, there was still a batch of surplus grain in the city when Doru left, but just a few days ago, Bai Yan sent a warrant to forcibly transfer this batch of grain.
Nowadays, not only the ordinary people in the city are facing food shortages, but more seriously, they, the managers, are facing the crisis of food shortages, and their food storage cannot last for ten days.
When Lin Tian was inspecting the city, he found that some households were living a stable life, and there seemed to be no change, and even the servants were still living a normal life. Lin Tian asked Doru why he didn't ask these people to collect food?
Doru told Lin Tian that most of these were the descendants of the big clans in Fucheng, and that these leaders had a place to live in Fucheng. The city is still relatively prosperous, so the children and relatives of some powerful families will choose to live in the city, after all, the quality of life here is much higher than that of their clan.
However, it is simply impossible to find these people to collect grain, their parents and relatives are all powerful people, even Bai Yan does not dare to easily touch their interests, every time the entire ghost party collects grain, these people will be a little bit of a sense of the past.
Lin Tian said indignantly: "Aren't you just bullying the poor, the rich and powerful don't let them contribute, but instead squeeze the poor people, won't your conscience hurt?" It can't be that you are like them, so you don't have the face to ask for their food, right? ”
"Fart, our commander has already donated all the surplus food in the family, leaving only the family's rations."
One of Doru's generals retorted for Doru.
Everyone present lowered their heads in shame by Lin Tianshuo, with a hint of unnaturalness on their faces. Of course, seeing that Lin Tian wronged Dolu and the other party's group of people were in the same stream, some people stood up in time to fight for him. To be honest, this is also the reason why Doru's subordinates respect him very much, in addition to his promotion grace, there is also what he does, Doru is a person who really thinks about the ghost side, and really does things for the ghost side, not just for Bai Yan.
It is precisely because of Doru's conscientiousness that he will be in charge of the affairs of Fucheng. A few years ago, the ghost party was not so corrupt, and at that time, the big leader of the ghost side had just been changed, Bai Yan was not as domineering as he is now, because he needed these elders to help him stabilize his position. At that time, the atmosphere of the ghost party was still relatively good, and there were still many people who really did things, and Doru was one of them, so he obtained the right to be mentally retarded.
And as time went by, Bai Li's power became bigger and bigger, and he felt more and more constrained by such a group of old guys and couldn't do what he wanted, so Bai Yi gradually showed his ambition and ruthless side.
"Okay, I wronged you just now, but we have to solve the food problem first, don't wait for Bai Yan to come, we are all too hungry to hold weapons, and then we will be slaughtered."
"And what can you do?" Doru understood this reason, but he thought about it for a long time, and there was no good way, even if he transferred food from his own tribe, the original water could not quench his thirst, and his people did not agree with it.
"Simple, you give me 200 people, and I'll fight the local tyrants for you."
"Local tyrant, who is a local tyrant?"
"Even those of you who dare not provoke, I understand your distress, after all, you and many of their parents are acquaintances, and it is difficult to do it. In this case, I will be the one who is wicked, and they will not be able to do anything about me when the time comes. ”
Since Lin Tian was willing to go out to be this wicked person, Doru naturally agreed, and it was difficult for anyone inside them to go to the city, so it was appropriate for Lin Tian, an outsider, to start.
At that moment, Lin Tian led two hundred people to the street, looking at the posture, Lin Tian planned to catch who would beat whom, and see who was the first chicken to kill chickens and set an example for monkeys. Walking a few hundred meters away, Lin Tian found the first target, a typical large family, with several large tents in a small courtyard.
Lin Tian led people to the courtyard, and as soon as he entered, he was stopped by a servant dressed up. "What are you doing, don't you know that this is the residence of Captain Fergus?"
"Oh, it's still for the commander, the status is not low!"
"It's good that you know, it's not someone you can afford to mess with, get out quickly."
"I'm sorry, no matter how high his status is, he has nothing to do with me, my brother let me in, especially to see if there is a cellar or something, many people like to hide grain in the cellar."
In an uproar, the soldiers behind Lin Tian rushed in.
"Ah, you are here to steal food, you are not allowed to enter, you are not allowed to enter, young master, it's not good, there are robbers who come to steal food."
When the servant saw that he couldn't stop him, he ran back in a panic, presumably to call someone.
"You all stop, stop me, I'm the son of Fergus, you people are so bold, you dare to come to the house under your command to grab things, you don't want to live."
At this time, a man dressed in luxurious clothes walked out, claiming to be the son of the commander, shouting and scolding the people at the scene, and the soldiers at the scene were stunned and looked at Lin Tian. Before they came out, they were ordered to listen to Lin Tian throughout the whole process, and now only Lin Tian can order them.
"Go on, I'll take care of something." Lin Tian said lightly.
The luxurious man walked up to Lin Tian and said sharply: "Who are you, such a big breath, even if you dare to bear the wrath of the commander." ”
"It's just below, and the leader of the Heavenly Alliance is also."
"Tianmeng, what Tianmeng, I haven't heard of it, where did you come from?"
"Li."
The noble man frowned, thinking in his mind, he didn't know that this clan must be a small clan that was inconspicuous at all, and he was just about to intimidate the other party. The servant next to the man pulled the man and whispered, "Young master, the Li clan is the head of the rebels." ”
The noble man was shocked, and whispered to the servants on the side: "What should I do, why have the rebels attacked the city, will they kill me?" ”
The servant was also at a loss, after knowing that Lin Tian was a "rebel", the master and servant were so frightened that they didn't dare to gasp.
Lin Tian was not far from the two, so he also heard the conversation between them. It turns out that the identity of the rebels is so easy to use, it seems that they are all a group of people who are greedy for life and afraid of death, Lin Tian thought silently in his heart.
After harvesting the grain, Lin Tian was ready to go to the next house. He turned back to the master and servant and said, "This is borrowed, and it will be returned in the future." ”
When leaving, they waved their hands and said goodbye to the two of them in a friendly manner, and as soon as Lin Tian left, the two immediately cursed Lin Tian and scolded the robbers.
Lin Tian ran rampant in the city with the identity of a "rebel" in this way, "borrowing" food everywhere, of course, the other party may be a little unwilling, but he doesn't dare to take Lin Tian, a "rebel" element.
Lin Tian fought a wave of local tyrants and raised a lot of food, of course, for the many refugees in the city, this is just a drop in the bucket.
