Chapter 50 Rectification of Mountains and Rivers
Li Ling felt inexplicable, and still smiled: "Third grandmother, it's me, I'm Li Ling." I'm Li Ling, the third son. ”
Granny Wen looked at Li Ling with a broom, and said viciously: "Li Ling, three sons." I'm fighting you, brute. You did evil and colluded with bandits to come to our village to kill people and set fire. I knew I would have strangled you when I was young. ”
"Why is your old woman unreasonable, Li Ling has only been back from outside for two days, how can he collude with bandits? Have you seen him with your own eyes? Lin Yazhi said with some indignation.
"Shut up." Li Ling shouted at Lin Yazhi. The status of the third grandmother in Li Ling's heart is extremely high. Even if there is a misunderstanding, Lin Yazhi should not be held responsible.
"I also said that I was unreasonable. I know that your three sons are not dead, and He Jiatang, who is with you every day, is robbing the neighbors here in the name of your Li Ling, do you think I don't know? You take me for a fool, don't you, kidnap more than a dozen people from our village, and tear up the tickets when you don't have money to ransom people, how many do you say you killed? ”
"He Jiatang." Li Ling chewed a few words, seemed to understand something, and shouted behind him: "Call Sun Yuzhu to me." ”
He Jiatang?! When Li Ling came to Jinan and asked about Sun Yuzhu, his dodgy gaze reminded Li Ling of something. The foreign bandits have been in Zhangqiu County for half a year, and no one will believe it without locals to guide them, but they didn't expect it to be He Jiatang. is his own righteous brother, and he also uses his own name to plague the township.
Granny Wen couldn't help but scold: "You said you are a third son." Your mother conceived and gave birth to you in August, and she didn't live for seven or eight. It stands to reason that you can't survive, it's your mother who worked hard to bring you back, and she lost her life. Do you think you're right? ”
Li Ling fell to his knees with a puff. Tiger eyes were in tears, and let her beat and scold.
"You were only born weighing four pounds, and you can't be saved. Your father threw you into a mass grave, and I picked it up in the middle of the night and pulled you with a handful of and urine. I stayed in Lijiazhuang for more than a year without going home. I had four children in my family who didn't have time to take care of them, all of them were hungry, and one of them almost starved to death. ”
"The third grandmother is very kind, and I Li Ling will never forget it for the rest of my life." Li Ling burst into tears and hissed.
"You were bullied when you were a child, and your nose and face were swollen every day. I bandage your wounds every day, give you pus to heal your wounds, have you forgotten all this? ”
"I haven't forgotten." Li Ling couldn't control his emotions anymore, his voice was already vague, and he said sadly.
"They all say that you are a freak, that you are a disaster in the country, and that you will be punished. You have nowhere to hide, come to my house. I'll give you food and drink. My own sons are starving at hunger. Have you forgotten?
"I haven't forgotten." Qingtian's kindness is difficult to repay, and Li Ling's heart is like a drop of blood.
"At that time, you were arrested by the government, and I had a headache. I know you're kind-hearted, but how could you collude with bandits. How do you ask me to explain to my father, my father, and my fellow villagers? Everyone in this village poured cold water on me and insulted me. I endured it, I endured it all the time, I just wanted to see you alive, I want you to give me an explanation. ”
Li Ling knelt there straight, because there were too many tears, and his voice was hoarse: "Third grandmother, you sit there to dissipate your anger, don't be angry." I will give you an explanation, I will definitely give an explanation to my fathers and fellow villagers. Even if I cut off my head, I want everyone to be satisfied. ”
Granny Wen, an illiterate and kind-hearted old man with small feet, has made a huge sacrifice to this nephew. learned that this nephew was a bandit, and ordered his subordinates to come to the village to rob and kidnap the ticket for extortion. Seeing that one by one neighbors have suffered, they have been in trouble. Even if those neighbors didn't say it, she wouldn't forgive this nephew and forgive herself. She was waiting, waiting for this nephew to explain it to herself.
But Li Ling didn't say anything, didn't explain anything, just like the penitent Qin Hui in the Yuewang Temple in Qixialing, Hangzhou, kneeling upright. Silent and silent.
Sun Yuzhu came, Jinglian came, a large number of brothers from Jinan came, and the Hongmen brothers from Jinan also came. Five or six hundred people were housed in a small courtyard. No one could persuade Li Ling.
Finally, He Jiatang came. With two or three hundred people, riding high-headed horses, all of them showed off their might. The doors of all the houses in Wenqing Village were closed, and they were too frightened to show their heads.
He Jiatang came straight to Li Ling and said with a smile: "Brother Ling finally sees you again." It's been a long time since we see each other, so don't hurt your peace because of this little thing. ”
Li Ling had never heard of it, and he didn't raise his eyelids.
He Jiatang frowned and said, "Brother Ling, this is my brother's fault. It was in your name that I gathered some brothers and took out the arms from Qingdao. Participated in the siege of Zhangqiu County. I also brought people to this Wenqingzhuang. ”
Finally, Li Ling slowly raised his head, scarlet eyes staring at him. Slowly take out a dagger from your body.
He Jiatang's heart burst out, knowing that Li Ling couldn't forgive himself. The brotherhood is deep, and it is also ruthless, and he said: "As long as Brother Ling can get angry, what if you give me three knives and six holes." I'll take it. ”
Just didn't wait for him to take the dagger. Li Ling turned his backhand and inserted the dagger deeply into the root of his right leg, and without waiting for everyone to react, he pulled out the dagger, spurting out more than two meters away with blood. With another thrust, his left leg was hit hard again, and the dagger did not enter the root.
He Jiatang was horrified, knelt down in front of him and grabbed him. If Li Ling beats and abuses him, he endures it, and he can be comforted. But Li Ling didn't do anything to him, but he came to self-harm, which made him digest his brother's kindness.
Ge Changxing and the others, who came with He Jiatang, were frightened, hurriedly took off their clothes and bandaged his wounds.
At this time, the bandits who came here armed with ruffians and hooligans numbered nearly a thousand. Li Ling's move surprised everyone, and everyone panicked. The scene got out of hand for a moment.
Granny Wen, a weak old woman, suddenly pushed everyone away. Tearing his clothes into strips of cloth, he bandaged Li Ling's wounds quickly and methodically, and kept muttering: "You child, you child ......." ”
Li Ling smiled sadly and said, "Third grandmother, don't worry, I will return my father and fellow villagers within ten days." Then he looked around at the brothers, his wolf-like scarlet eyes were sad, and shouted: "Rectify the rivers and mountains, kill the bandits." ”
He Jiatang had tears in his eyes, and he also shouted: "Okay, rectify the rivers and mountains and kill the bandits." ”
Zhang Mingjiu has long aroused the indignation of all walks of life, and celebrities from all walks of life have issued an appeal to suppress bandits, saying, "The bandits are blazing day by day, and the lives are ruined. ”
At that time, there were seven counties and thirteen regiments besieging Zhangqiu, which was not captured for a long time. When Li Ling issued an order to suppress bandits, some celebrities and chaebols came to visit him one after another to express their support.
Li Ling was seriously injured and lay on the hospital bed directing the actions of his brothers. At this time, Li Changfu, a long-term worker in Lijiazhuang, came to visit Li Ling. At this time, he was already a leader of the Red Gun Society, a non-governmental organization in Shandong, and was willing to assist Li Ling in attacking Zhangqiu. It is also the introduction of Li Taihei, the big leader of the Shandong Red Gun Society.
Li Taihei was dressed as a scholar, originally from Xiucai, but because he admired the Tang Dynasty poet Li Bai, he gave himself this name. He was resourceful and appeared as a military advisor in the Red Rifle Society, and when the supreme leader was killed, he became the most influential figure in the Society.
Li Changfu organized more than 300 people, and Li Ling issued them guns. Sun Yuzhu and Jing Lian selected more than 400 people from the brothers and became all the way. The group of people led by He Jiatang should be the most combative. In addition, Li Ling asked Meng Sandu to organize nearly 100 Hongmen brothers in this area, and they all distributed weapons and ammunition. Knowing that Shen Zhongkui colluded with the bandits, but in the name of righteousness, he did not dare to openly oppose it, and he also gave financial support on the surface.
Since the big bandit Zhang Mingjiu occupied the county seat of Zhangqiu, the bandit forces of all sizes near Jinan have entered the pole one after another, and his power has rapidly grown from more than 200 to more than 2,000. Even the local and nearby squire regiments couldn't stand him. But since Li Ling announced the suppression of bandits, he has been a little concerned. Li Ling is not terrible, what is terrible is that he has a large number of weapons and equipment in his hands. What's more, He Jiatang and his gang, who had already entered the pole, also followed Li Ling. And Sun Dianying's troops were stationed hundreds of miles away, which made Zhang Mingjiu have to think about the future road.
In the past few days, Li Ling, with the funding of people from all sides, has distributed half of the 10,000 oceans, which has also aroused everyone's high-pitched enthusiasm. The people below were not idle. Organize personnel assault training, build ladders, and build wooden bridges.
Seven days later, Li Ling organized an armed siege of the city. He sat on a stretcher, accompanied by Li Taihei, and watched the brothers carry their guns forward majestically, and his blood couldn't help but boil. The eldest husband fought on the battlefield and was arrogant.
The troops approached two or three hundred meters, and the battle finally began. Although most of them were untrained in war, they were well-armed, with one or two light machine guns spewing flames from each team. Approaching the target is an offensive of grenades.
Finally hit the city, but the other side was condescending, had a geographical advantage, and could not attack for a long time. Li Ling shook his head, these people under his command are like dragons and tigers when they are separated, but when they are organized together, they are scattered sand.
Wave after wave of fierce battles, so that the sky above Zhangqiu City was shrouded in layers of thick gunpowder smoke like dark clouds, and the radiant sun rose from it to the middle of the sky and slowly went west, unable to penetrate the bloody fog that kept rising and stretching, and a roar and explosion spread for ten miles, and finally returned to tranquility before a bloody remnant sun disappeared.
Li Ling knew that the other party was resisting stubbornly. called He Jiatang, Sun Yuzhu, Li Changfu and others to him, and said: "The other party has been in war for a long time, and there is a shortage of guns and ammunition. If you can't take such a Zhangqiu City, how can you fight the world in the future? If it really doesn't work, you will withdraw and let Brother Hongmen go up. "Please don't be as good as agitation, he will use the agitation method.
Sure enough, several people blushed when they heard this, and Sun Yuzhu said categorically: "Brother Ling, don't worry, I can climb the wall no matter what." ”
Li Changfu also said: "The third young master's peace of mind is that although the other party has great momentum, it can't withstand another round of our offensive. You're bullish. ”
He Jiatang tightened his mouth, looked around, and said, "Whoever is the first to go to the city gate, Lao Tzu will reward five hundred oceans." ”
Five hundred oceans is already a huge amount of money, and if you fight hard at this time, the rest of your life will be guaranteed. Everyone applauded.
At this time, an inconspicuous thin man came to Li Ling and said, "Brother Ling, can you give me a pistol and a grenade." "It was Wang Jian that Li Ling had just accepted
