As the richest man in Yue Zhangji in Fengtai County, Anhui Province and the leading figure in the local area, Zhang Youliang has never been so calm. The gunfire and shouting outside could not frighten Zhang Youliang, who had participated in a battle of tens of thousands of people, and such a two-hundred-man battle in his career as a horse was not enough to mention. Although the jaw and shoulder joints that were removed by Hua Xiongmao are still painful, it has been removed for a while, and the pain has become accustomed to it.

None of the family members had learned how to attach the dislocated joint, so after they rushed into the courtyard to save Zhang Youliang, Zhang Youliang was still unable to command the battle. Under the leaderless group of dragons, Zhang Youliang's men were defeated and retreated.

The book of war says, "Know yourself and know your opponent, and you will not be defeated in a hundred battles." Although he couldn't speak, Zhang Youliang knew just by listening to the voice that the soldiers of the insurance regiment outside were all raw melon eggs. If you are still young, you can definitely command the group of people under you to beat them to the ground. The only ones to be feared in the insurance regiment were the young officers. After being held hostage by the two young people, Hua Xiongmao and Xu Dian, Zhang Youliang was also carefully observing the two young people. Regardless of the fighting skills they showed, the will to fight was truly terrifying. Under the situation of being besieged, they did not have the slightest resign to fate and waited for death. I don't think the other commanders should be below these two. This is the case in war, even if the men are a rabble, as long as there are capable officers to lead them, the battle can be fought. There is clearly no shortage of officers of such a level in the insurance regiment.

The subordinates shouted out to surrender in panic, and listened to the people outside immediately shouting, asking the family members to go out and surrender one by one. Although they were also afraid of being liquidated after surrendering, the last bit of morale of the family dissipated after the people outside fired a row of guns into the courtyard. They went out and surrendered one by one, although they walked past Zhang Youliang's side. The family didn't even look at Zhang Youliang.

Zhang Youliang was not angry with their performance. These people have never seen "such a heavy shot", and this is normal. On weekdays, Zhang Youliang is bullying ordinary people, and these people have never participated in real battles. Now there is no need to deduce carefully, Zhang Youliang's own results are obvious. This insurance group that suddenly popped out did not want to give up with Zhang Youliang from the beginning. After catching himself, he will never spare himself.

Not long after the family members surrendered, a few people first probed their brains in, and after seeing that there was no one else in the courtyard, a few people who were obviously officers entered the courtyard. Among the two people at the head, one of them is Hua Xiongmao. The other is tall and is supposed to be the leader. Then I heard someone cheering outside, "Catch Zhang Youliang!" "Caught Zhang Youliang!"

Listening to these cheers, Zhang Youliang was not excited at all. Zhang Youliang has had many such cheers in his life, and he can't remember it for a long time. Every time the battle was won, the Huai army did not like to keep prisoners, and the enemies captured were cut down except for important people. His own fate is just the difference between cutting early and cutting later. So the sixty-eight-year-old former Huai Army officer, now the landlord Youliang, even closed his eyes.

He was already worthy of it, and such a thought suddenly popped up in Zhang Youliang's mind. In my life, I have fought wars, earned money, and had several sons, and finally came over in a beautiful way. Today's destruction is God's will, even if he can do it again, the strange outsider of the insurance group is so powerful, he will definitely not be able to win if he comes to the door. And if you don't go to the door, the victory of the insurance group is just a few more deaths, and your own destruction is only a matter of time.

Zhang Youliang Mrs. Zhang is not complaining, he has long been very open to life and death, after killing so many men, women and children, Zhang Youliang does not have much fear of being killed. This is a year of disaster, and it is no different from the era of war. There are hungry people everywhere, and they will die at any time. The only thing Zhang Youliang regrets is that he is old, and his ability to cope with this environment has greatly declined. It would have been nice to settle the village sooner to protect itself, instead of trying to make a fortune in a disaster year. But when I think about it, if that happens, my whole family will be blocked in the fence and die. If you abandon your family property and go to the county seat or even the prefecture, you should be able to escape this catastrophe.

It's a pity that there is no chance to do it again. Zhang Youliang thought regretfully. This is Zhang Youliang's last regret. He didn't think of anyone avenging him or something. Although some of his own family members are still on errands in the Beiyang Army, even if they know their news, what is the use of coming back to avenge themselves, they are already dead anyway.

As if to confirm Zhang Youliang's thoughts, Hua Xiongmao said: "Battalion commander, do you think you should kill it now, or kill it later?" ”

"Kill the leader in public first, and then liquidate the Zhang family after killing those people outside."

Zhang Youliang opened his eyes and wanted to see who the enemy who finally decided the fate of himself and his family was. To his disappointment, the young man was a complete stranger. It's not that there is any enemy with him.

"How will an open struggle begin? I think it's better to have a meeting and fight. "Hua Xiongmao had heard Chen Ke say that this kind of struggle would be met before. It stands to reason that it should be very inflammatory to let those who have a grudge come to power to criticize Zhang Youliang and others.

"The people were locked outside the fence by Zhang Youliang at that time, resulting in death. To be honest, the people don't think that Zhang Youliang has lost his conscience. It is estimated that many people still think that he is also excusable. We designed this battle well, but it wasn't like that at all. So I originally wanted to have a struggle meeting, but now I look at it, if this struggle meeting is broken, it will not be beautiful. ”

Chen Ke calmly analyzed the existing situation, "What is important now is to hurry up and grab the seeds, so that everyone can live until next year, and there will be opportunities for the struggle in the future." Now there's no need for everyone to make any more mistakes. ”

After saying these words to Hua Xiongmao, Chen Ke glanced down at Zhang Youliang, "Mrs. Zhang, under Chen Ke, is the battalion commander of the insurance regiment. I've decided to execute you right away. The reason for the execution is that you refused to hand over the land for everyone to cultivate in this year of disaster, which will cause thousands of people to starve to death and die of disease. You have committed the great sin of mutilating the people, and this is a heinous sin. I decided to cut off your head. ”

Although he already knew that his life was on the line, Zhang Youliang couldn't help but widen his eyes when he heard Chen Keli count his crimes. This is definitely not something that bandits can say, and even when the bandits use the slogan "do the right thing for heaven" to fool the poor, it is absolutely impossible for them to say such a coherent thing. And their reasons will definitely not be so "ridiculous". No one can stop natural disasters, and why should Zhang Youliang's own land be planted by others. It is the norm to starve to death in disaster years! Sacrificing oneself to save others is the greatest absurdity. However, Chen Ke, who claimed to be the commander of the insurance regiment, said this absurd thing so as to be taken for granted, and the two officers in the insurance regiment, Hua Xiongmao and Xu Dian, also took this "ridiculous" thing for granted. Are they playing dumb, or are they really crazy?

The landlord Zhang Youliang suddenly felt a chill on his body, if those poor peasants really believed the words of these people and followed these people, then the landlords of the entire Anhui Province would suffer a catastrophe. Thinking that the poor everywhere divided the landlords' land, and did not pay the landlords grain after planting the land, Zhang Youliang only felt as if he had seen hell.

Landlord Zhang, who had already accepted his fate, suddenly had something to say. He wanted to speak out against this lawlessness*, and he wanted to shout out at these lawless young bandits for breaking the rules of thousands of years. He wanted to scold the bandits who had killed his family to rebel. In short, Zhang Youliang's consciousness as a landlord made him want to oppose the ideas of the two young people in front of him. Unfortunately, he was speechless.

And these two young people did not have the slightest idea of letting Zhang Youliang speak. They ordered the two guards to keep an eye on Zhang Youliang, and then went out to continue directing the battle. With this experience, the rest of the battle will be much easier. Break the door, shoot, persuade to surrender, and if the people inside refuse to surrender, shoot again, and the infantry will rush in to settle the battle.

Chen Ke's excitement had disappeared, and his comrades were immersed in the fierce mood of the battle one by one. However, in Chen Ke's view, the battle is not even as exciting as an ordinary police movie.

At that time, the shouting and killing outside was loud, and the main force composed of the second and third companies had already set off signal fireworks. At this time, it is also time to get outside the fence. Chen Ke handed over the command to the enthusiastic Hua Xiongmao, and climbed the watchtower at the south gate himself. Sure enough, under the guidance of two red sickle and axe flags, each comrade rushed forward. Seeing that the enemy was trying to resist, the spear immediately poked the guys into a sieve. The family members who gave up resistance were kicked to the ground.

It's really "a thousand miles of desire, go to the next level." Chen Ke condescendingly saw that within a radius of one mile, the soldiers of the insurance regiment were violently attacking and intimidating Zhang Youliang's armed forces. The warriors ran, roared, and intimidated. In addition to the killing spree, they are also decent.

Judging from the situation of the encirclement, those enemies were on their way back to the encirclement, when they suddenly found that there were so many hundreds of people in the swamp that they thought would never be possible to pass through the large army, and these people did not know where to flee. Some tried to escape by water, but the boats of the insurance regiment stopped them, and those who wanted to return to the enclosure were blocked out. As soon as he hesitated, a large force of the insurance regiment arrived. Except for a few who escaped quickly, the fate of the others was irreversible.

Chen Ke's expression was cold, he even looked at this battle with some worry, don't look at the current insurance regiment's complete victory, at this level, if you fight with the regular army, it will be crushed at the touch of a button. There is no need to use armed forces like the Beiyang Army, and the Anhui New Army alone is almost enough. I have to fight with my comrades in the party to lead such an army, and my future is very worrying.

But anything that is destined to happen will happen, and everything will have an end. It's as if the battle in front of us is quickly coming to an end. Seeing that there was no chance of victory, the family and the doglegs knelt on the ground and begged for mercy. The reconnaissance troops went in pursuit of the fish, and the other fighters, under the leadership of the commanders of their respective units, took the prisoners into custody, and then, without knowing who would lead first, the comrades began to cheer in victory.

"Win! Win! ”

"Defeat Zhang Youliang!"

The battlefield in front of Chen Ke turned into a sea of joy. The comrades began to jump and shout like kindergarten children after playing the game of "Horse Riding and Fighting", and Chen Ke had good eyesight, and he could even distinguish the faces of his comrades that were gradually turning red with excitement.

I don't know who saw Chen Ke on the watchtower first, and someone has already shouted at Chen Ke: "Battalion commander! "Battalion commander!"

He Zudao took the sickle and axe red flag in time, and shouted while waving it: "Battalion commander! Battalion commander! In such an environment, the soldiers quickly shouted along with him.

Chen Ke quickly let a confident smile appear on his face, and he waved his arms at the fighters in front of the enclosure. Then a burst of cheers suddenly erupted in the still neat shouts.

"Everyone, be quiet!" Chen Ke roared. He now finally understands why it is easy to use the phrase "like a bell" in the vocabulary to describe soldiers. On a boiling battlefield, if you speak slowly and softly, no one will be able to hear you at all. Sure enough, after Chen Ke finished roaring, the comrades below quieted down.

"Comrades, we have won! What was the result of our victory? From the county seat to this Yuezhangji, all the land will be cultivated by everyone's relatives! No rent! The food will be distributed by everyone, so that we can survive this disaster year! Chen Ke continued to roar.

The comrades below immediately erupted in a burst of cheers in their hearts. If you have land to plant, you don't have to starve to death in this disaster year, isn't this the purpose for which everyone fights? Chen Ke made a statement in public, which stabilized everyone's mood even more.

"We have to farm ourselves, and since we don't collect taxes in recent years, we have to farm our own land to support ourselves. Comrades willing or not! ”

"Yes!" "We do!" The warriors cheered.

"Bring Zhang Youliang up!" Chen Ke roared, "Let's see what this bad thing that is ready to starve the people to death looks like!" Chen Ke turned around and yelled at his comrades at the door.
