Chapter VII: Coercion
Roger and Zhang Jun, who were lying on the ground and pretending to be dead, did not escape the fate of being calculated by Gong Liangyu after all.
Every word they said in the chamber was recorded on a parchment and then forced to leave their signatures and handprints at the check-off desk.
Watching the cunning fat man put the parchment roll into his arms, the two knew that if the contents of the parchment roll were discovered, what awaited them would be the great sin of the Zhulian Nine Clans.
can only put his heart sideways and obediently obey the other party's arrangement.
The subsequent tactical arrangements were basically handled by Gong Liangyu, and it was impossible for them to fight with others with open swords and guns, but relying on the advantage of flexibility and mobility, it was still possible to do some disturbance behind the enemy.
At the end of the meeting, Runye and Mei Donen went to deal with the thunder and poison together, and the other battalions set up sentry posts, counted the equipment, and recuperated the war horses, they drove on the sea for more than 10 days, and the people were okay to rest, these war horses could be tossed a lot, and they had to be allowed to adapt to the land as soon as possible and have a good rest.
For this reason, Gong Liangyu also asked the mayor to come over and asked him to gather some townspeople to help.
The mayor of the town was a little frightened when he saw the awe-inspiring attitude of these soldiers, who thought that the other party not only had a kind attitude, but also did not do anything to disturb the people, he felt a little calmer, and called hundreds of people to come over at once, helping to make fires, cook, and feed the horses.
Seeing that although these soldiers were silent and arrogant, they behaved modestly and were extremely self-disciplined, and they became bolder, and they went out of their houses one after another, went up to the front to hand out tea and water, and asked for warmth. The girls were even more fascinated by these burly and cold-faced soldiers, one by one hiding behind the window and door to look secretly, and the bold ones even took the snacks at home and stuffed them directly into the hands of the soldiers.
A three- or four-year-old child staggered to a soldier of the Fighting Battalion, stretched out his little hand, timidly, touched here and there, his dark eyes were full of curiosity and excitement, and he looked at the soldier's statue-like face from time to time.
The soldier crouched down and looked at him, and the child's face turned pale with fright, and his mouth began to cry, causing many soldiers to look at him.
The child's parents were very nervous, for fear that the child would annoy these people and implicate everyone.
The next moment, the soldier suddenly stuck out his tongue and grimaced, making the child stop crying, wink at the soldier, and then burst into a smile, revealing two small front teeth.
"I'm sorry, the child is not sensible! Don't be surprised! The child's father hurriedly ran over, picked up the child, and accompanied the soldiers.
Now the soldiers are in chaos, and the soldiers can't be offended, these days, those dock garrisons have come to the town to do some things to collect and take cards, and sometimes they are not angry, and they use their townspeople as punching bags.
These soldiers seemed to be much more powerful than the garrisons, and if they were angry, the consequences would be severe.
The soldier did not answer his words and returned to indifference.
"Wow! That's cool! Several obsessive whispers rang out from all corners at the same time.
……
With the cooperation of these townspeople, everyone quickly settled down and seized time to rest, followed by a day and a half of rapid marching.
At this time, Li Yuanru took the old Heili man to find Sang Nan.
"Childe, this person said that he was looking for you for something!"
When the elder Heili saw Sang Nan, he knelt on the ground with a plop, kept kowtowing, and muttered:
"I beg Gongzi to take us in!"
Sang Nan didn't speak, but glanced at Li Yuanru with an inquiring look.
"This man said that there are 50,000 of them who have been conscripted into the front barracks to be enslaved, and they don't want to go back to the barracks, they want to follow us in the future!" Li Yuanru patiently explained.
"We slave laborers in Kunshan have a low status, and every time we are enslaved in the army, not only do we not get money, but we also have to go into battle at any time, and there are not many people left in the end. So I beg Childe to have mercy and take us in! The elder Heili said with tears in his eyes.
It turned out that the Federation used troops against the Sang people this time, and a total of 50,000 Kunshan slave laborers were recruited from all over the country as hard labor in the army. Their slave laborers had come from the barracks to carry their goods, and just now Sangnam rushed ashore, and the soldiers who oversaw the work left them and fled in a hurry. Later, their group of people helped carry the goods on the ship, but they didn't expect Li Yuanru to give him fifty silver coins, which was enough for them not to go hungry for two months.
"It doesn't matter what these people do, but they at least see themselves as human beings!" While they were grateful, they also had the idea of following, so they let the old Heili come here.
"What's your name?" Sang Nan frowned and said, he had important things to do at the moment, and he didn't want to make a fuss.
"The villain's name is Anikurus Nipoma!" The older Heili replied cautiously.
"Ai, that Poma, you get up and talk first!" The name was so awkward that Sang Nan almost bit his tongue.
"Let me tell you first, we don't have a way to save your people now!"
"The little one doesn't ask Gongzi to go out of his way to rescue my clansmen, but I hope Gongzi can provide a place for our Kunshan clans to live after the war!" The older Heili also knew that it was a bit impractical to let Sangnam and others save their people.
"No problem with this! But my territory is a bit far away, so you might want to go there. Sang Nan suddenly thought of building a city in Spindle Valley, and he needed to hire people, so he simply let them go there to do things, so that they could have a place to settle down in the future.
"Yes! Thank you, Childe! ”
"In that case, you can wait here in peace, and when we return from completing our mission, we will take you with us!"
"Xie Gongzi take it in!" Anikurus Nipoma fell to his knees again and kowtowed.
"Alright, get up, that Epoma!" Sang Nan thought his name was too long, so he cut off more than half of it.
"Xie Gongzi gives the name!"
……
A day and a half goes by in a flash!
That night, the coalition soldiers had dinner and were resting in the barracks.
Outside the gate of the 9th Legion, fifty or sixty people suddenly came, led by Zhang Jun.
"Open the door! Open the door! He stood outside the door, shouting with a big grin. He and Roger were forced by the other party to accept this task that could kill them at any time. Roger's mood was a little low, but Zhang Jun became very positive. But he had a feeling in his heart that what he was doing now might not be an opportunity for the family.
"Yo! Is Commander Zhang back? Several soldiers guarding the door recognized Zhang Jun and knew that he was a confidant of the seal, so they didn't dare to offend, so they hurriedly opened the gate.
"Quick! Carry things in!" Zhang Jun waved his hand, and dozens of soldiers behind him walked towards the camp carrying large boxes.
"Commander Zhang, where did these people come from? What's inside the box? A gloomy voice sounded not far away. (To be continued.) )
