The motivation to be able to have a full meal made the family, who were originally so hungry that they couldn't stand up, braved the cold wind to the square in front of the Gaizhou Yamen.

Before they reached their destination, they smelled the smell of rice in the wind, and their stomachs growled, urging them to go faster. But when they reached the square, they were suddenly shocked by what they saw.

I saw that in the middle of the square, there was a hot cage of steamed buns, a pot of boiling pots, and a soup pot with the fragrance of vegetables. In front of these meals, there was already a long queue, there were soldiers to maintain order, and there were ropes separating the passages, which was not chaotic at all.

But what really surprised them was that in the corner of the square, against the side of the wall, there were people tied one by one, money rat tails, or wearing Manchurian costumes, and at a glance they knew that they were the prisoners in the city, regardless of the old and weak soldiers. Behind them, there was a Ming army soldier, and I didn't know what they were going to do with them, was it beheaded?

Faintly, someone over there seemed to be crying to the Ming army guarding him, as if to say that he was not Manchurian, he was Han, and he just had that haircut.

The men's family looked at each other and understood that there were indeed some Han people in the city, who climbed into the relationship of Jianyu and became their slaves, so they cut their hair into a money rat tail.

At this moment, they didn't have time to meddle with things, so they hurried over and lined up first, waiting for a good meal. In the process, the man occasionally turned his head to look and found that the Ming soldiers used things to plug the mouths of those tied Jianyu, it should have annoyed them, right?

However, they just glanced at it, more at the steaming place, counting how many people were in front of them. Finally, each of their family received a bowl of soup with a bit of meat aroma mixed with dried vegetables, as well as two steamed buns for one person, although it was not white noodles, but when they ate it, it was far more fragrant than they remembered!

When they received the food, they had to drink it on the spot, and then continued down through the passage where the Ming soldiers were isolated. After going around in a circle, it seemed that he was going to go to the place where he was tied up. About three feet in front of it, there were soldiers talking about something.

Those who heard the words seemed to be emotional, and a few of them even knelt on the ground, which made the man puzzled, not knowing what was being said over there?

When the man's family approached, they heard the Ming soldiers here saying: "You have recognized in the past, which Jianlu has bullied you, or has the blood of our Han people in your hands, just tell me!" Now, there is revenge, there is revenge! Remember, save time and pick up only the most serious things, briefly! ”

As soon as he heard this, the man was immediately excited, his family was originally considered to have relatively good living conditions in Gaizhou, but they were all robbed of their property by Jianyu, and even scraped the grain, causing several family members to starve to death. If it weren't for the little food that was finally hidden, it is estimated that the whole family would have died! Just like the next-door neighbors, none of them survived.

Also, just now, I seemed to see that old man Thorntu on the street also kneeling there, and he forced his sister to death. originally thought that there would be no chance of revenge in this life. It's really an eye-opener, and I can actually correct it with my own hands. Looking at it like this, the Ming army will definitely make decisions for itself!

When I first came to the square, everything was about food. But now that I have the goods in my stomach, this grudge comes to my heart. Immediately, the man wanted to kneel down and salute very gratefully, but the other party was not, just told him to go quickly, not to delay the people behind him. In desperation, the man had no choice but to put this gratitude in his heart.

The city of Gaizhou was not large, and the population was even smaller under the rule of Jianju, so most of the people knew each other.

The man walked up to the first money rat tail, looked at this man looking at himself pitifully, knew what he was begging for, but didn't care about him, and immediately said to the Ming army behind him: "I remember, this Wu Batu has killed two Han people before, called ......"

After hearing what he said, the Ming soldier turned around and carved a finger-length vertical line on the wall behind him. Then he motioned for him to continue walking.

The man walked to the next Jianlu, who was Wu Batu's son, and he said, "He ordered someone to kill the Han man who lived opposite them......

As before, the Ming army also turned around and carved a vertical line on the wall.

The next one is Wu Batu's daughter. For this person, the man didn't think of anything for a while, so he walked over, and the Ming soldiers didn't say anything.

Later, he said something that would not offend people's lives, and the soldiers of the Ming army behind him turned around and carved a horizontal line. Finally, when he came to Thorntu, he rushed up excitedly and tried to punch and kick. When the Ming soldier saw this, he had to stop him, motioned him to go down, and then, without asking anything, turned around and carved a vertical line on the wall behind him.

……

When the man's family walked out and reached the edge of the square, they looked back to see rows of people continuing what they had just done. Behind the tied people, there are many vertical or horizontal lines carved.

The man found that when a certain person was tied up, there were more than five vertical lines behind him, and he dragged it away. And if there are more than 20 horizontal lines, they are also directly dragged away.

The woman was careful, but also soft-hearted, and couldn't help but say to the man: "The child, father, are all those who dragged away going to be killed?" ”

"It should be!" The man nodded.

When the woman heard this, she couldn't help but say, "It's so casual, what if you wronged someone?" ”

"Hehe, it's enough if you don't kill them all!" The man was more cold-hearted, and because Thorntu was also among the people who were dragged away, he sneered and said.

While they were talking, not far away, the division general Cao Bianjiao saw this situation, and couldn't help but ask the division supervisor beside him: "Isn't it possible that you will wronged people if you arrange it like this?" ”

In his opinion, it's okay to kill all of them, but if Feng Dehua wants to use this method, he is a little strange, so he asked.

Feng Dehua listened, turned his head to look at him and said: "When the emperor usually lectured our family, he said that a public trial meeting should be held, so that the people can participate, so that they can have revenge and revenge. But we don't have that time! We came up with such a trick, which is kind of meaningful! ”

Speaking of this, he sighed with emotion and said: "The emperor is really good to these people!" I also thought that after the beginning of spring next year, if our army withdrew, these people of Gaizhou might be slaughtered and slaughtered by the angry Jianlu, and they would have to withdraw to Dengzhou. It happened to be the sailor who returned empty-shipped, just by the way! ”

After finishing speaking, Feng Dehua was concerned about Cao Bianjiao's affairs again, and asked him: "The materials are transported over, and the people are evacuated again, it is expected to take three days, can it be done?" ”
