Chapter 131: The Fourth Day of the War (1)
"Brought, armored car towing behind."
"Rack run, after I directly blast open the gate, the armored car rushed in front of the soldiers behind." What does a local tyrant have to say.
"Order the second and third companies to disperse and surround them, and not to miss anyone, the fourth company is forbidden, and the first company is ready to follow the armored vehicle into Weizhuang." The staff officers allocated the troops according to Sun Xiaolan's intentions.
The 105 howitzer was pushed out and erected, and after the artillery adjusted the range, loaded a high-explosive shell and waited for the staff officer's order.
After hearing that the troops were ready, the operational staff officer shook the red flag in his hand, the gunner pulled the gun rope, and the dull sound of cannon sounded.
The artillery reloaded after re-ranging, and this shot hit the gatehouse of Weizhuang, and the gatehouse collapsed in response.
The combat staff officer shouted: "Don't stop, keep bombarding the city wall for me." ”
The 105 howitzers kept bombarding the walls of Weizhuang, collapsing one by one.
The soldiers ran forward after the armored vehicle, and one mortar after another was erected at a kilometer mark, and the sound of thumping mortar fire was accompanied by the roar of the armored vehicle. In the distance, clouds of smoke rose from Wei Xianli's manor.
There is no need to describe the battle at all, what can a local tyrant manor and a state apparatus have to compare. Wei Xianli, who usually shows off his martial arts, has already hid in the ancestral hall, was taken out by the soldiers, trembling, and sat on the ground with his butt and had a seizure.
Sun Xiaolan didn't go through Taihu Lake to suppress bandits, and when he saw the gold and silver treasures all over the ground, he couldn't believe his eyes. Sitting at the table of the eight immortals in Wei Xianli's hall and lighting a kerosene lamp, he was surprised when he saw Wei Xianli, what kind of tyrant is this, he is simply a beggar, covered in a broken patch, with a cloak lying on the ground, but the son next to him is a silk silk, with a fat head and a fat brain raised by a small hair.
kowtowed vigorously and begged for mercy, to be honest, Sun Xiaolan's heart was a little soft, how could this bear be associated with a local tyrant. The commander of the third company dispelled his fleeting thoughts.
"Chief Sun, we searched and found a dungeon where more than a hundred local tenants were imprisoned."
"Bring them all, I'll ask for it myself." Sun Xiaolan was lucky, and instinctively wanted to excuse this pseudo-local tyrant.
The more he interrogated, the more angry he became, and after asking about ten people, Sun Xiaolan controlled his desire to pull out and shoot Wei Xianli, which was simply a beast, even a pregnant woman and a ten-year-old girl from the tenant's family.
The four company commanders and battalion staff officers acted as clerks, recording interrogations one by one, and Sun Xiaolan raised the camera in his hand and put a spotlight on it to photograph the dungeon and the trial scene. The interrogation scene of one night made Sun Xiaolan's heart feel sullen, he learned about the development of countries around the world from Hu Wenkai's mouth, and then looked at these local tyrants and inferior gentry in northern Anhui, no wonder the boss wanted to wash northern Anhui in blood.
Sun Xiaolan used the primitive method to have the soldier chop off Wei Xianli's son's arm with a knife and throw it in front of him, and his son rolled on the ground in pain.
"Tell me, where are the title deeds and secret rooms?"
"Master Jun, there is no secret room in my house."
"Go and bring up all his wives, not to mention chopping them up one by one." Sun Xiaolan became hard-hearted.
Experience is a whetstone, and Sun Xiaolan couldn't be sure that Wei Xianli's family had a secret room, until Wei Xianli's little wife watched his eldest wife's head roll down on the stone slab in front of the door and shouted madly: "Don't kill me, I know the secret room, the secret room is under the rockery, and Li Laohan's daughter is still imprisoned inside." ”
The peeling and weathered rockery was in the center of Zhuangzi, and it was only after Wei Xianli's little wife took Sun Xiaolan that he found the entrance to the secret room. The entrance to the chamber is a boulder, pushed to the right to reveal an entrance that is more than a man tall.
Entering the secret room allows Sun Xiaolan to see the demeanor of the local tyrants in northern Anhui, boxes of gold bars, account books, and land deeds. At the end of the long hallway was a bedroom with two unclothed maidens in the bedroom.
Sun Xiaolan completely convinced the boss Hu Wenkai, this kind of local tyrant and shoddy gentry are not enough to calm the resentment in his heart. The soldier found the key to untie the shackles that the girl was wearing, and the girl knelt on the ground despite shame and begged Sun Xiaolan to kill Wei Xianli and his son.
Sun Xiaolan's heart was sour when he heard this, such a tragic thing happened in a place where there is a government. Jean handed over the quilt and let the twin sisters drape it on, and he had an urge to lead his troops to shoot all the local government officials to death.
After receiving the title deed and belongings, Sun Xiaolan asked the soldiers to rest in Weijiazhuang, and he and his staff officers studied the next move. According to Sun Xiaolan's opinion, the four companies of the guard battalion attacked separately with Weijiazhuang as the center, collected the property and land deeds according to the march tonight, and killed all of them if there were bad deeds.
The company commander is the commander of the operation, and the instructor is the supervisor of the operation, and the consent of the instructor must be sought for whether or not to shoot or not. Gathering in Weijiazhuang at noon, Sun Xiaolan led the battalion's directly subordinate organs and guard platoons to build an airstrip in Weijiazhuang, waiting for Xuzhou to send planes to transport away the property.
Hu Wenkai did not expect that the money collected in northern Anhui would later allow him to build a dual-purpose bridge along the Yangtze River and Nanjing Railway and Highway.
The fields in northern Anhui were later used by him on the Invalids Farm to implement mechanized farming. The wealthy population of northern Anhui was gradually relocated to Jiangnan and incorporated into major factories.
Sun Xiaolan guarded the mountain of belongings, holding a cigarette and picking up a gold bar for a while, grabbing a handful of silver dollars from his hand and scattering them to the ground with a crisp sound.
The plane was followed by investigators sent by the Restoration Party, all dressed in tunics, top hats, pens pinned to their chests, and carrying briefcases in their hands.
I had already received a telegram that this was the collector of the evil deeds of the local tyrants and gentry in northern Anhui sent by the boss.
This time, the Fujin Party actually brought four cameras and dozens of film discs. The boss was determined to publicize the bad deeds of the local tyrants and gentry in northern Anhui, and Sun Xiaolan did not dare to delay and immediately arranged for someone to escort these investigators to the front to collect evidence.
In the afternoon, Li Zhuang was crowded with people, and if it weren't for the soldiers to maintain order at the public trial of Li Lao Yan, Li Lao Yan's family of more than 40 would have been beaten to death by the victims who were filled with righteous indignation. The soldiers found hundreds of bones in the woods next to his manor, some of which had not yet rotted in the ropes.
A water prison was set up in the manor, and tenants who did not pay their rent were soaked in waist-high water and waited for their families to collect their rents before they were released.
When Zhang Kaijing was nine years old, he worked for Li Laoyan's family, and Li Laoyan handed him a cracked hoe, which Zhang Kaijing broke in less than a day.
Li Laoyan grabbed Zhang Kaijing's collar and said viciously: "You broke Lao Tzu's hoe, you will pay!" ”
Zhang Kaijing's father hurriedly came to defend and said: "Dongjia, there is a crack in your hoe, and you see that there is still rust on this fracture." ”
"It's broken for a long time? Then why didn't your son check when he was using a hoe? ”
Zhang Kaijing pointed to the hoe and said, "I checked it, but I didn't see it, the crack was covered with mud." ”
"It's your responsibility not to check it out. This hoe was fine yesterday, but it was broken when it was used for you, and you pay Lao Tzu! ”
Nine-year-old Zhang Kaijing said stubbornly: "If I didn't break it, I won't pay for it!" ”
"If you don't pay, you have to pay! No compensation? Just deduct your wages! ”
Zhang Kaijing's father hugged his son and said, "Why are you so unreasonable? ”
"Dog day! In Lijiazhuang, I am reasonable, dare to scold Lao Tzu for being unreasonable, is there any royal law? A kick was on Zhang Kaijing's father.
"Boss, you are reasonable, how do you beat people?"
"I'm just beating you brute with no eyes." Li Lao Yan said, adding fists and kicks.
Zhang Kaijing's father was caught in a water prison by Li Laoyan in this way, and the debts of Zhang Kaijing's family increased by a large ocean.
Without research, there is no right to speak, this is what the boss said when he sent the investigation team on the plane.
The investigation team was frightened by the tragic scene in the rural areas of northern Anhui, which exceeded the tragic scene that everyone could imagine. A country landlord actually has the power to judge life.
A piece of yellow paper was densely packed with thousands of fingerprints, demanding the execution of the Li Lao Yan family. Sun Xiaolan took out the power of attorney stamped with the seal of the Anhui Provincial Government from his pocket and read it aloud: "The Anhui Provincial Government of the Republic of China hereby appoints Sun Xiaolan to exercise the judicial power on his behalf, and local governments at all levels will provide assistance. ”
"It is hereby decided that Li Lao Yan and his family have been recklessly killed, and with the facts of 604 cases verified, the verdict is as follows: Li Lao Yan, Li Lao Yan's son, and 15 of their accomplices shall be sentenced to death by capital punishment and all their property shall be confiscated."
Sun Xiaolan ordered the opening of warehouses to release grain to relieve the masses, and announced that all fields should be calculated as rents of 28, and tenants would get 8.
The news of Jiangsu's ransacking of northern Anhui spread to Shanghai, Beijing, and other places the next day. Xu Shuzheng, Jin Yunpeng, Duan Zhigui, Fu Liangzuo, Ni Sichong, and other members of the Fu'an Club headed by Duan Qirui of the Anhui faction issued a strongly-worded statement demanding that Liang Qichao immediately withdraw his troops from Anhui, accusing the Jiangsu arsonists of sacking northern Anhui.
In the war-torn era of 1922, who would care about the situation of Anhui, a province located in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, the year before last, the mutinous soldiers in Hunan and Hubei robbed and killed people everywhere, and none of the warlords in the country stood up to uphold justice. Not to mention that Anhui is just cracking down on the behavior of local tyrants and inferior gentry, there is no voice in the direct family, the Beijing government said a few words and asked Liang Qichao to restore order in Anhui as soon as possible, and Sun Dacang stayed in his apartment in Shanghai depressed and did not make a sound.
