What kind of bastards are the subordinates of Qiu Lei, the chief soldier of Shandong, the people of Texas also know in their hearts, and everyone is psychologically prepared for the scourge, and many people are prepared in advance, such as sending the young girls and gold and silver to the countryside. But what these soldiers did was far beyond the reach of the common people.

At the beginning, there were a few units stationed in the city, and more than a dozen families were destroyed in a few days, and the governor of Texas had no choice but to plead with Yan Jizu, the governor of Shandong, Yan Jizu also felt that Qiu Lei's soldiers and horses were too much, if there was no restraint, I am afraid that even staying in the city would be disturbed.

At present, the chief soldier Qiu Lei is not as unpopular as before, and he still has to listen to the governor's orders, so he only left his own troops in the city, and most of the soldiers and horses went out of the city to camp.

But this pro-soldier belongs to the strongest troops of Qiu Lei's department, and the beastly behavior of doing evil is also the strongest, because of Qiu Lei's protection, rampant lawlessness has always been unscrupulous, and as a result, this major incident of Ci'an appeared.

Although Ci'an is a nunnery, but in the whole of Texas and even in the north of Jinan Prefecture has a very good reputation, the local gentry and the daughters of this nunnery have a lot of donations, this incident, the people of Texas suddenly made the most violent reaction.

Qiu Lei's own soldiers in order to fulfill their own animal desires, let dozens of women in Ci'an commit suicide, such a major event is one of the important factors that intensify the contradictions, and another is that the general soldier Qiu Lei's troops have done too many bad things in Texas, and the anger and resentment of the people of Texas have reached a critical point, which happened to break out through this incident.

The governor of Texas naturally knows that his grade is very different from the total number of soldiers. Not to mention that the other party still has a knife handle in his hand, but the governor of Texas calculates that he will work in this place for at least five years, and his wife is also a native of Texas, if this matter is not for the people, I am afraid that he will not be able to stay in office at all.

These landlords, gentry, and wealthy families in Texas have nothing to do with Qiu Lei, the chief soldier of Shandong, but there are many ways to deal with themselves. For the stability of his own officials, no matter what he says, he must get things done.

In fact, the abacus in Zhizhou's heart is also clear, as long as Qiu Lei hands over a few people to take the blame, he also has a reason to go down.

But it is even more impossible for the general soldier Qiu Lei to give in, Li Meng defeated his troops in Dengzhou, and seized his military salaries and food supplies in the territory he guarded, this matter can only be swallowed hard. The military spirit of the officers and soldiers below fluctuated. People's hearts are unstable. If a few more of his own men are pushed out here to take the blame, I'm afraid that this general soldier will not be able to do it.

The governor of Dezhou and the general army of Shandong insisted on not letting go, but Yan Jizu, the governor of Shandong, was also embarrassed, and now that the war was imminent, it was impossible to do anything to damage the martial artists. In his heart, he just complained that the Texas governor was ignorant, but this matter was obviously a Texas governor asking for the people's life, and he couldn't reprimand him.

The governor of Texas kept kowtowing in the yamen hall where he handled official business in Pingsuli, and the face of the governor of the ground was sinking like water, and the chief soldier Qiu Lei on the side insisted in a rough voice.

After Li Meng knew what had passed, he didn't say anything. Let them be noisy in the lobby. But he found a reason to go outside, called Wang Hai over, and then walked back to the lobby and sat down in his seat.

"Enough! When is this, still arguing about such a trivial matter, Mr. Qiu, find a few people to come out and give an explanation to the people of Texas. In the future, we will strictly restrict the deployment. There must be no such bastards. ”

Shandong Governor Yan Jizu slapped the table heavily and scolded angrily. This can be regarded as a step for both sides, and the scholars who sit in this position are very smart, of course they understand what the governor of Texas is thinking, and sure enough, after the governor finished speaking, the governor of Texas immediately remained silent and did not act.

But Qiu Lei immediately jumped up and said in a rough voice:

"How can the governor of Texas slander a good person, saying that it is the general's subordinates who do the land, but there is evidence? Can anyone admit it? The people of Texas are not quiet, perhaps it is the work of local scoundrels, why should they rely on the soldiers and horses of the local generals? ”

Shandong General Qiu Lei asked back, the two sides tore their faces, but the governor of Texas was a little embarrassed, such a beast thing, the victims were already dead, how could those murderers admit it themselves. It's really infuriating, knowing that the other party did it, but he can't explain it.

"Seeing that the two adults are so embarrassed, why don't you do a little favor here and find out the truth for you."

Li Meng, who had been watching the excitement in the lobby, suddenly spoke, and the chief soldier Qiu Lei turned his head in astonishment, and the governor Yan Jizu and the supervisor Liu Yuanbin also looked at him with unkind faces, thinking that this matter has nothing to do with you, what are you here to make the noise and chaos, and the governor of Shandong, Yan Jizu, scolded in his heart "young and frivolous".

The entire yamen court suddenly fell silent, but Li Meng smiled calmly and said:

"Ben has already ordered someone to check, everyone can wait with peace of mind, just wait for a while."

Before the words fell, there was a sudden commotion outside, as well as the sound of scolding and shouting to kill, several people in the room were looking different, and Qiu Lei, the chief soldier of Shandong, took two steps back, and pressed his hand on the handle of the knife, Li Meng's expression was so neat, and he still said with that unhurried attitude:

"If you feel worried, why don't you call your own soldiers in, and try to have peace of mind?"

This suggestion was unanimously approved by everyone present, and Li Meng's own personal soldiers also walked in, but fortunately, the lobby of the Zhizhou Yamen was quite spacious, and dozens of people gathered in it did not feel anything.

It's just that Li Meng's personal soldiers and Qiu Lei's personal soldiers glared at each other angrily, and Yan Jizu and Liu Yuanbin's guards surrounded their masters as much as possible, so as not to be affected in the fight.

It seems that there is a conflict in the open space outside the yamen, the loud noises, shouting and scolding are getting louder and louder, and the faces of these people inside are not good-looking, originally came to this Texas to defend against foreign enemies, but they actually started to fight on the edge of the yamen in this city, what is going on.

In the lobby of the yamen, that is, Li Meng had a smile on his face. is still there to comfort the pale-faced Texas governor: Lean this way, let me guard and circle you.

"Texas News" - Jilusan people

"Li and Qiu's two generals entered the state government, and the pro-soldiers were not allowed to enter outside, and the Li pro-soldiers were neatly lined up, and the main general was not in the same battle array. Sitting or lying, noisy and noisy, like a bazaar, which is stronger and which is weaker, you can see this..."

After Li Meng entered the courtyard of the Zhizhou Yamen, the soldiers of Li and Qiu outside the gate lined up on both sides of the official road. Qiu Lei's own chief officers of the soldiers were discussing inside, and there was no one to restrain outside, so these veterans became casual. There are noisy people who get together to chat. There were those who gathered there to gamble, and there were those who leaned against the wall to bask in the sun.

On the other hand, Li Mengdi's personal guards were composed of axe and gunners, axe and spearmen stood at the forefront of the team, long axes and spears were erected on the ground, and the soldiers looked at the "friendly army" on the opposite side silently.

This neat and disciplined state looked extremely awkward in the eyes of Qiu Leidi, the chief soldier on the opposite side. This is a bad attitude and doesn't want others to be good. It's human nature. These veterans were more relaxed and noisy in an almost provocative attitude, while squinting their eyes at the pro-soldiers of the Jiaozhou battalion who were standing "stupidly" over there, and some people shouted loudly, "The main general is not here, and you still want to do this, what is the meaning of what you pro-soldiers are doing." To be a general's personal soldier, to practice combat skills diligently and to go into battle is a must. But in plain life, he is full of silver to take the land. Whatever you do outside, the coach has to cover up. This is also one of the necessary benefits.

Qiu Lei's personal soldiers felt that the people who had to stay in a state of war in their leisure time were stupid, and they felt that their side had already had the "upper hand", and they were very pitiful of the other party's situation, but they did not expect their behavior, which made the Jiaozhou battalion on the opposite side very disdainful, and the sense of pride and belonging as a member of the Jiaozhou battalion became stronger.

Before the stalemate between the two sides reached a stick of incense, Wang Hai walked out of the courtyard, frowned and looked at the confrontation between the two groups of pro-soldiers, and walked to the back of the pro-soldier queue.

That is, after a while, more than a dozen small leaders of the pro-soldier team are walking around the team to convey news, and no one on the other side of this whispering behavior pays attention to it at all, anyway, both sides have entered the city, and there are governors, supervisors, general soldiers, and generals in it, and they will be friendly troops for the time being.

"Who did the incident in Ci'an the day before yesterday, stand up and confess!"

Among the pro-soldiers of the Jiaozhou battalion, a small colonel stood in the first column and shouted loudly, this voice shouted, and the noisy environment suddenly quieted down, and many soldiers with their backs to this side turned around in surprise, looking at the Jiaozhou battalion that was still lined up in amazement.

"Ci'an's thing, who did it, stand up and confess!!"

The junior colonel shouted again in a louder voice, almost as expected, and Qiu Lei's soldiers on the opposite side burst into laughter, "Who do you think you are!" "Isn't it envy grandpa, I had a good time that night!" "It's late, there are still a lot of big families in Texas City, where to try!" For a while, ridicule and foul language curses rang out.

The little colonel who shouted glanced back, turned his head back and shouted:

"If you don't repent, you should be severely punished and beaten!"

As soon as this "hit" was made, the axe and spearmen in the front three rows half-crouched down in unison, revealing the two rows of musketeers behind them, and the fire rope was already about to reach the primer......

Qiu Lei's pro-soldiers didn't expect the other party to fight at all, and Li Meng's subordinates were mostly behind the axe and spearmen, standing neatly there, and they couldn't see any movements at all.

Wang Hai came out of the courtyard and was already arranged, the firecrackers in the back calmly loaded the ammunition, lit the firerope, and waited for the "hit" word in the front row to shout out, and immediately raised the firecrackers, the firecrackers in the two rows were salvos, and the salvo of forty firecrackers was still extremely lethal in less than thirty paces.

What's more, when Li Mengbu started, many people over there were still sitting on the ground and didn't get up, and they were directly killed on the ground by this firecracker, and the firecracker finished shooting.

The axe and spearmen in the first three rows had already stood up, rushing up with long axes and guns, the first row was flat, and the back two rows were diagonally, those Qiu Lei's personal soldiers had spears in their hands, and the people on the ground were sitting on the ground in a mess. The spear couldn't be carried at all, and the one with the short weapon had already been poked and cut down by the long-handled axe gun before he could fight the Jiaozhou battalion in close combat.

For a while, Qiu Lei's personal soldiers were defeated, and after the first round of rushing, even those who reacted slowly stood up and ran back. They are all veterans who are used to fighting, so they naturally know that they are caught off guard, and the other party has the advantage, so they have no chance to turn the tables at all, so they run away first and then fight, anyway, there are many people.

Who would have thought that the quality of these pro-soldiers in the Jiaozhou battalion was excellent, Wang Hai fully understood it under the short arrangement just now, and the first three rows rushed to kill. The last two rows respond. When the battle began, the rest of the men rushed to both sides at the same time, forming an encirclement posture, one side panicked, and the other side came prepared.

In an instant, the kung fu had already surrounded the Qiu Lei soldiers and horses who were staying outside the yamen, but after they were wrapped, the Qiu Lei's subordinates inside also stood up, holding weapons in their hands, and they were all desperately conscious on the battlefield at any time. At this time, he was scolding and preparing to clash outward.

But one step was missed. It is difficult to take advantage of these pro-soldiers in the Jiaozhou battalion, these pro-soldiers are reserve officers and junior officers at the grassroots level, and after becoming the non-commissioned officers of the pro-battalion, they have been trained and studied by Li Meng's side, and they are all strong soldiers who are proficient in combat skills and full of courage.

The tactics are also simple, the long axe spearmen can't hold people out in the front row, and the soldiers with firearms in the back lower the muzzle of their guns and just fire inside.

Keep fighting like this. There were a few rounds of firecrackers. I can't stand it inside, and I can't come out. The outermost people either died in the assassination and slashing of axes and guns, or were killed by firearms, and they were all crowded inside, and these soldiers all understood that if they continued like this, they were afraid that everyone would die here.

The Jiaozhou battalion surrounded outside was also knowledgeable, and just when the people inside were about to despair, the little colonel who had just shouted at the top of his voice:

"Drop your weapons, get on your knees, tell who did it, and we'll cease fire!"

No matter how brave the soldiers are, they may not be willing to fight to the death, some of Qiu Lei's personal soldiers inside have never done the things of the beast, and some have done the land, and those who have not done it immediately shouted without a mouth:

"No fight, no fight."

The one who did it was panicked in his heart, and he wanted to resist for a while, but thinking about resisting, not only the Jiaozhou battalion in front of him was fierce, but also the black hands of his companions, he couldn't help but have a fluke in his heart, and he also shouted:

"No more fighting."

There are also those who are armed with weapons and have the intention of dying, but they do not rush forward a few steps, or they crash into the opponent's axe gun, or they become a live target for the firearm. Others were directly killed by their comrades-in-arms, you have to work hard, but don't bother everyone, the fire guns placed outside are not accurate, and the fire guns can't find a standing target, and after the axe and gun can't find the enemy fighting within five steps, the pro-soldiers of the Jiaozhou battalion stopped.

As for how to deal with the surrender of troops, these people in the Jiaozhou battalion have enough experience, and the officers and men have not relaxed in the slightest, and their weapons have forced those "friendly soldiers" who are kneeling on the ground, and they have moved into a queue with their heads in their hands, and there are also enemies who are waiting for an opportunity to move and prepare to fight, but they are all easily killed by the firecrackers who have already changed their weapons into short weapons such as knives and axes.

After the soldiers were sorted out, Wang Hai also got a report, saying that a total of three soldiers from the Jiaozhou battalion were killed in the battle and six were injured, and he was suddenly a little annoyed in his heart, so he didn't pay attention to the next result of killing more than 150 people on the other side.

"Who did it that night, stand up!"

Wang Hai shouted directly at the half-squatting soldiers, Li Meng confessed to it, and if it alarmed the outside, it would always be a little troublesome, the big fight just now had already delayed time, and there were dead and wounded under his men, I don't know if Li Meng will be satisfied.

Seeing that the companions who worked hard with him back then were all generals who guarded one side, and he was just a pro-soldier Qianzong, and the soldiers in the pro-military camp were constantly rotated, and now there were also talents who sat in Qianzong, Wang Hai of course wanted to seize all opportunities to perform in front of Li Meng.

Today's matter is one of them, Wang Hai is holding back enough energy to handle this matter well, he is a little anxious at the moment, after shouting that sentence, the soldiers who were half-squatting over there looked at each other, but no one made a sound, and they knew who did it for sure, the key is that no one will speak first, otherwise I am afraid that there will be no way to be a soldier under Qiu Lei in the future, and the position of this pro-soldier is quite good, but it is not so easy to give up.

Wang Hai scolded in a low voice. Raising his hand and pointing to the nearest soldier who was leaning on him, he ordered his subordinates to bring it over, and when he came to him, the soldier knelt on the ground in fear, Wang Hai asked politely with a stiff expression:

"Who did it that day, do you know?"

The soldier stared at Wang Hai's face, obviously hesitant. But in the end, he shook his head, Wang Hai was stunned for a moment, and then laughed hey, and said:

"I can't see the scumbag virtue you just fought, but it's very righteous."

Kneeling on the ground, the soldiers thought that this was a compliment, but when he looked up, he saw that Wang Hai had already pulled out his waist knife and slashed it down very hard.

Body separation. Blood gushed out. Wang Hai didn't call anyone anymore, and walked towards the crowd with a waist knife in his hand. I picked a random person and asked:

"Do you know who did that thing?"

Wang Hai's tone was a little anxious, but he really didn't see anything fierce, and he just had a beard, and he was just a young man, if he hadn't slashed people with a knife just now, he wouldn't have any power at all. The second soldier he asked was also hesitating, to be precise, he hesitated for a short moment, and the knife on Wang Hai's side was already raised, and this soldier immediately understood. It's one thing to look scary or not. If you have a knife in your hand, you can kill.

The soldier immediately shouted at the top of his voice:

"I know ......"

But "knowing" what Wang Hai didn't care about anymore, the knife in his hand slashed down without hesitation, the deterrent effect of slashing and killing in the group of soldiers was excellent, and the soldiers who were squatting around couldn't dodge, they were all splattered with blood all over their faces, and they were used to seeing soldiers who were killed. Looking at this Wang Hai's unreasonable murder is also terrifying.

Wang Hai directly put the blood-stained blade on the shoulder of a soldier on the side. Wiping the blood on his cotton coat, he asked impatiently:

"Do you know who did it?"

Watch as the serrated blade moves back and forth around your neck. The soldier didn't hesitate and shouted directly:

"The villain knows who did it, and he is willing to recognize the adult for him!"

After this sentence was shouted, none of the people on the side dared to accuse, and put themselves in their shoes, even if it was themselves, they had to save their lives, and they didn't care about the righteousness of their colleagues.

One person spoke, and the rest of the land was simple, pointing at each other, exposing each other, and even framing each other, as a result, the guards of Qiu Lei, the chief soldier of the land of 500 or dozens of people, except for those who had just been killed, a total of 160 people were confessed to have done the beast in Ci'an.

In fact, many of the people who died in the war were really soldiers who committed crimes, and it was precisely because they felt that they were fighting to the death, and a total of about 200 people entered Ci'an that day, but now the battle dead and those who were found out, I am afraid that the total is more than 300.

But Li Meng and Wang Hai didn't care about this at all, and after getting the result, Wang Hai wiped the blood stains on his body and hurriedly ran in.

Among the people sitting in the lobby of the Zhizhou Yamen, except for Li Meng, who was at ease, the rest of the people were panicked, and there were so many soldiers and horses stationed inside and outside the city, it would be a big chaos to coax them. Moreover, Qiu Lei, the chief soldier of the party, sent people out to check, but he never came back.

Seeing Li Meng's mental state, even a fool knows who made this mess outside, although in the lobby, there are sixty personal soldiers of the governor, the supervising army, and the general soldier, but it is not unfavorable to Li Meng, firstly, it is not ununited at all, and secondly, Li Meng's personal soldiers are long weapons and firearms, which are flattened in the hall, but it is not easy to get close, although it is difficult to say whether the victory or defeat is true, but the first person to die must not be Li Meng's side.

For the governor Yan Jizu and the supervisor Liu Yuanbin, although the chief soldier Qiu Lei said that he had a lot of dealings with them, it was not the only choice, after all, in Shandong Province, the most soldiers and horses were the general Li Meng, since the two sides were tense here, there was no need to express their position when there was no clear distinction.

As a result, the two sides frowned for a long time, and they didn't come up with an idea, until Wang Hai, who was covered in blood, hurriedly ran into the lobby, and Wang Hai whispered a few words in Li Meng's ear.

After Wang Hai finished speaking, everyone could see that there were already more than a dozen Li Meng's personal soldiers standing outside the lobby, Qiu Lei's face became extremely ugly, although he didn't know what was happening outside, he probably knew that Li Meng would definitely not suffer.

The current situation is dominated by Li Meng in any case. But Li Meng's face changed from calm to serious, and he said coldly to the Texas Zhizhou who had been standing beside him:

"Go and call the leading figures and gentry and eunuchs of Texas to the courtyard of this yamen, don't delay, if you don't come, I will send troops here to help you invite!"

After finishing speaking, a pro-soldier leader walked up to the governor of Texas and saw this posture. The governor of Texas didn't dare to say anything, so he could only honestly follow Li Mengdi's instructions.

"General Li, at the moment of the great enemy, don't engage in these jokes that have nothing to do with armament."

The atmosphere eased a little, and Yan Jizu, the governor of Shandong, hurriedly opened his mouth to make a round, although they didn't know what Li Meng was doing, but the situation was already out of their control, and everyone felt that something was wrong. Yan Jizu can only hope that his face as a governor will work.

As for the chief soldier Qiu Lei sitting on the side. I don't dare to send people to investigate the situation anymore, because there is no return, and I still try to keep some people around me to avoid disasters.

"At the moment of the great enemy, our officers and troops should be more strict with military discipline and make friends with the people, if the public resentment in the rear is boiling, and the retreat of the grain route is unstable, how to ensure the morale of the army and how to face a strong enemy. How to keep the ardent heart of the saints. Although a certain general is humble and light-hearted, he is willing to be the first person, even if he is a fellow offender. ”

These words were impassioned, and the situation outside was unknown, but the people in this hall were not stupid, even if they didn't know what was going on outside, they guessed something. Seeing Li Meng talking like this, Yan Jizu, the governor of Shandong, and the eunuch of the supervising army all smiled bitterly. He simply stopped talking.

Chief soldier Qiu Lei's face was already completely gloomy. But Li Meng didn't seem to notice, and Shi Shiran turned around. Smiling, he spoke:

"Chief soldier Qiu, offended!"

After saying this, Qiu Leidi's face was completely dark, and at this time, dozens of soldiers with weapons outside walked into the lobby of the Zhizhou Yamen, naturally all of them were Li Meng's subordinates, and it seemed that they had come to "invite".

At present, Li Meng has the lowest official position in the lobby, but there are many people, although everything is carried out in a rather polite state, but it is impossible for others not to do it. A group of people looked at each other and walked towards the door.

Everyone walked to the gate of the courtyard in silence, and as soon as the gate was opened, the governor and the overseer were startled, and the chief soldier and the personal soldiers around him immediately panicked.

The open space outside the door was already quite crowded because the pro-soldiers on both sides were stationed, but now it is a lot empty, more than 100 people were tied up and thrown in the open space, and the other pro-soldiers were half-squatting on the other side, forced by Li Meng's pro-soldiers with weapons. Farther away are the ordinary people of Texas City, looking at the rich and noble families, crowded to look this way, they all look very excited.

Li Meng stood on the steps, regardless of the people around him, and shouted directly:

"Fellow fathers and fellow villagers, these beasts have done evil things that hurt nature and reason, and ruined the reputation of the officials and soldiers of the imperial court, but you fathers and fellow villagers can't think that the officials and troops in the world are like this, and today I will preside over this justice for everyone!"

After shouting this sentence, the following were silent, whether it was the officers and soldiers or those leading figures in Texas, what Li Meng said was too incredible, but Li Meng didn't care about the reaction below, and said indifferently to Wang Hai on the side:

"Let's cut it all!"

After Wang Hai listened, he smiled, although he was not very old, he was used to seeing blood, and Fang Cai's killing even made him feel quite excited, and he waved his hand with his subordinates around him at the moment.

The sound of "chirping" sounded repeatedly, and the two soldiers of the Jiaozhou battalion held down one, and the third person took a short axe to chop down, the axe was fast and powerful, and when the axe went down, the head fell off. The sound was like splitting a watermelon, and it sounded refreshing.

The silence of the whole audience increased, and only the soldiers who were about to be beheaded let out one or two cries, but it made the scene even more solemn.

There are dozens more of his own soldiers than the Jiaozhou battalion, but they have been beaten up for such a period of time outside, seeing that more than 300 people have lost their heads in one way or another, Qiu Lei, the chief soldier of Shandong who was originally black-faced, has turned pale, and the governor Yan Jizu and the supervisor Liu Yuanbin are also silent, such a scene was not expected at all.

After doing such a beastly thing, this kind of punishment is naturally deserved, but in this Texas, the number of people in his and Qiu Lei's department is about the same, the two sides are in great contradiction and conflict, and the other party is nominally a Shangguan, and it is necessary to set up obstacles for himself to pull back the legs, and when the war comes, if there is a little chaos, I am afraid it will be a big disaster.

Today's killing, eliminating evil is one of them, and what is more important is killing people to establish authority and subdue the army
