Chapter Forty-Eight: Liwei

Boris hit him in the stomach again and again, and the man began to beg for mercy, but Boris could not understand what he was saying, so he simply ignored him and continued to beat, and after a while, the man fainted.

Boris threw him on the beach and went on to beat the next one. After a while, several people were beaten again. The outcasts were horrified when they saw this big blond man beating these people ruthlessly, and felt that he was more terrible than the bearded man with a high nose and deep eyes.

Boris walked back, Zhao Zi nodded emphatically, and said to Du Dalei: "Xiao Du, let the Cui family's guards splash the fainted person with seawater, and you go and fight again." ”

Du Dalei was stunned, "Boss, are you still fighting?" Won't kill anyone, right? ”

Zhao Zizhong stared at Du Dalei with sharp eyes: "Liwei has to use ruthless means, we have to let these people remember for a lifetime, our brothers can't afford to mess with us!" Go ahead, you can whip them, because you are not as good at using your power as Boris, and it is easy to kill people. ”

Du Dalei did so, and the homeless people were completely convinced, and they begged for mercy for these people. Zhao Zizhong took out the list and asked Wang Quan to shout: "The person whose name was called stood up, and now the whole team is going to be formed." ”

Zhao Zizhong asked Wang Quan to call out ten people at a time according to the list, and they became a group and lined up in a column. Wang Quan began to take the roll call, and one after another people stood up, and when there were enough ten people, the Cui family's guards took them to the side to form a column.

The homeless people were very cooperative, but there were also some stupid people who ran around like headless flies, and were kicked a few times by the guards, and they were all honest. About an hour later, more than twenty columns were lined up.

Looking at the phalanx that was beginning to take shape, Zhao Zizhong said to his brothers: "See, this is order, and it is the foundation of all undertakings." We want to build an iron army, it's too early! ”

Zhao Zizhong asked the guards to carry a few homeless people who were beaten badly back to the camp first, and then locked them up in a small black house, only giving them water today, not food. The guards found a few planks and carried the five unlucky ones away.

A lot of people in the line were talking to each other, and the sound of 'buzz, buzz' rang out on the beach again. Zhao Zizhong glanced at the brothers, and everyone stood silently, staring at the phalanx of displaced people without saying a word.

After a few minutes, the group gradually quieted down, and no one spoke again. Zhao Zizhong took a few steps forward at this time and said, "My name is Zhao Zizhong, and I am the leader here. He paused, his gaze scanning back and forth at the phalanx of outcasts.

"Everybody saw what happened to those five people, and I don't want you to be like them. Here, what my brothers and I say is the law, and no one can break it. If anyone makes a mistake, they will be punished as severely as those five people. Serious ones will be killed and thrown into the sea to feed the fish. ”

Wang Quan said Zhao Zizhong's words three times in the southern dialect, and the beach was silent, and the homeless people were shocked, and everyone looked at the brothers silently, full of fear.

Zhao Zizhong was very satisfied with the reaction of the homeless, he waved his hand and shouted loudly: "Let's go now, one team after another, don't talk on the road, otherwise you won't be allowed to eat dinner." ”

Fan Jinchun, the leader of the guards, took the lead and led the easternmost team of the phalanx in the direction of the camp. The other guards let the second team follow, and then set off in each squad of ten in order. Zhao Zizhong asked An Dalang and them to maintain order along the way, and he and Wang Quan pressed at the back of the team.

The homeless people walked silently on the road, and occasionally someone spoke, and the guards would pull them out, beat them, tie their hands, and throw them on the side of the road to show the public.

Zhao Zizhong chatted with Wang Quan for a while on the road, and learned the general situation of these displaced people, most of them were exiled to Jiangnan because of famine and war, and they were sold into slavery because they had no way to survive. Later, it was bought by the Cui family and transported to Zhoushan Island in batches. It took some time to renovate in a makeshift camp there before being sent here.

After walking for about an hour, Zhao Zizhong and Wang Quan arrived at the camp. Wang Quan saw dozens of wooden houses neatly located in the valley. At this time, the displaced people had already lined up in a phalanx and stood quietly, and no one was talking to each other.

A few unlucky people who had been pulled out for talking on the road were tied to a stake outside the camp with bruised noses and swollen faces. Wei Hongye came up, and Zhao Zizhong introduced Wang Quan to him.

After a few pleasantries, Wei Hongye said, "The woman and the child have settled down and are waiting for the meal." The Zhe belt is taking care of them, and nothing will happen. ”

Zhao Zi nodded emphatically, "Find a few more guards and servants who can write, register these men immediately, try to disrupt the boundaries of the region, and let people from different places arrange them in one room to prevent them from recognizing fellow villagers and climbing relatives." We should not allow some people to take advantage of their fellow villagers to form small groups. ”

Wang Quan said: "I brought a few people who can help, they have been in contact with the displaced people for a while, understand some situations, and can help separate those fellow villagers, relatives and the like." ”

Everyone immediately got busy, registering and screening these displaced people, and trying to arrange people from different places in a ten-person team. As it got dark, the servants lit several bonfires, and they identified the outcasts one by one, and when they had enough of a team, they let the guards take them aside and sit down.

After about two hours, the displaced people were divided into twenty-five squads and sat neatly in the open space outside the camp. Cui Zhaorong came over and asked, "The meal is ready, should I eat here or go to the cafeteria?" ”

Wei Hongye said: "The canteen will definitely not be able to accommodate so many people, so let's eat here." Find someone to bring the food and get some more chopsticks. ”

After a while, the servants of the Cui family arrived with several large baskets, which contained wooden bowls and chopsticks. Everyone worked together and gave each of the displaced people a wooden bowl and a pair of chopsticks.

After waiting for more than twenty minutes, the servants arrived with five cauldrons, they put down the cauldron, lifted the lid of the cauldron, and the hot steam came out, and the aroma was fragrant. In the pot is a multigrain porridge mixed with fish, meat, and vegetables. The homeless people were hungry and craned their necks to stare at the cauldron, but no one dared to move, sitting on the ground drooling.

Fan Jinchun asked the homeless people to line up to serve the porridge, under the command of the guards, five long queues were lined up, the homeless people walked to the front of the cauldron in an orderly manner, the servants filled the wooden bowls, and the homeless people walked back to the open space to line up and sit down, and began to eat.

After a while, some people finished eating, looking at the cauldron with blank eyes, wanting to eat but not daring to move. Du Dalei looked at the greedy looks of those people, and said to Zhao Zizhong: "Boss, those people may not have enough to eat, give them some more." ”

"They can't give it, they are hungry for a long time, their stomach is not very good, they need to be slowly regulated, and they can't eat too much at one time. Try to give them gruel these days, and dry food after a few days. ”

A few unlucky bastards tied to the stake smelled the food, and they all looked at it with a dumb eye, and one of the guys couldn't stand it anymore and yelled. Several of the guards rushed up and punched and kicked him, and the man hummed and lowered his head, and stopped talking.

After the homeless people finished eating, Wei Hongye asked the servants to take away the dishes and chopsticks and clean and disinfect them, and Zhao Zizhong arranged for the guards and servants to each receive a wooden card, on which was written a number, which was the number of the wooden house, and each of them was responsible for managing a team.

After receiving the wooden signs, each person led a team to the corresponding wooden house and arranged for the homeless people to sleep. There was another rush of chaos, and finally all the homeless people were arranged. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and went to the cafeteria to eat together.

After the meal, everyone sat in the cafeteria and chatted. Zhao Zizhong first said: "We must not relax tonight, everyone must take turns to be on duty and keep an eye on those displaced people." A wooden bucket was issued in each house, and they were allowed to defecate in the house, and no one was allowed to leave the house. ”

An Dalang said: "You should watch them, so as not to have a camp roar." ”

"What is Ying Xiao?" Du Dalei was curious.

An Dalang explained: "In the past, when I was in the army, the camp rules in the barracks were strict, not to mention shouting loudly, even spreading rumors was in danger of my life. Moreover, the military camp is an authentic place of slaughter, and the military regulations have the so-called "17 prohibitions and 54 beheadings", and those who serve as soldiers live in fear, and the mental depression can be imagined after years and months. On the other hand, the army is very dark, with officers wantonly oppressing soldiers, veterans ganging up to oppress recruits, and military men forming gangs and factions fighting openly and secretly. Especially before the war, everyone's life and death were uncertain, and they didn't know when they would return to the West, and their spirits at this time were on the verge of collapse. ”

His expression was a little gloomy, he paused, and then said: "I encountered it once, in the middle of the night, a soldier had a nightmare and screamed, so everyone was infected with this hysterical and crazy atmosphere, and wanted to completely get rid of the shackles of military discipline and vent wildly. Some clear-headed guys began to copy up the guys to repay grievances, revenge, because many of the soldiers relied on the relationship of their fellow villagers to form gangs, so they began to fight, at this time those officers who usually oppressed the soldiers became the number one target, in the chaos everyone was settling their own accounts, and those who should repay their debts could not run. So there was a big scuffle, everyone was trying to slash the people around them, and I fought my way out of the barracks. to get rid of the danger. ”

Du Dalei asked, "What happened later?" Tell me about it. ”

An Dalang sighed, "After dawn the next day, there were countless casualties in the camp, more than in the first battle. The general was furious, and many officers lost their heads. ”

Zhao Zizhong said solemnly: "Why should I be vigilant, it is that I am worried about this problem, people will definitely be nervous when they come to a new environment, and there must be a period of adaptation." During the day we punished their compatriots, and some of them would have been afraid, and if they screamed in the middle of the night, it might cause a roar in the camp, and not necessarily how many people would die! ”
