Chapter 268: Liu Shaved His Hair

The sudden change made the squire officers and officials inside and outside the main hall look at each other, wondering why this Hill arrested the general soldier and the prefect for no reason.

"Who are you, and why are you arresting this official?" Yehra Bomur struggled.

There was a snapping sound, and a big-eared scraper slapped his face fiercely, and the person who beat him was the slightly chubby man: "Why the hell are you still asking me who we are, Lao Tzu ordered you to reach the embankment within two days to reinforce, why did you delay it, didn't you receive the order of your governor?" ”

The more Zhong Lin thought about it, the more angry he became, as soon as he entered Jiyang today, he saw Liu Jun's ugly face, and he immediately hated the officials in the Jiyang area. For this, Liu Jun did not object, a guard company followed Zhong Lin menacingly, came to Jiyang half an hour in advance, and as soon as he entered the city, he got it from the mouths of the people, and the prefect was still holding a birthday banquet for himself.

The angry Zhong Lin was already angry, and came to the mansion with people, but he didn't expect to be stopped by the guards and not let him in, Zhong Lin was alive, took out a pistol and shot the guards, this time the leader rushed in, but Zhong Lin only knew the names of the prefect and the general soldier, but he had not seen it, so he asked who the two were, knowing that he saw two people in black silk robes standing up, and this time he made a move.

With a slap, blood spilled from the corner of the pampered Yehrala's mouth. Zhong Lin didn't understand his hatred, and kicked him hard, and then sat down in the place where Bomur was sitting just now.

Looking at the panicked people in the hall who didn't know what was going on, Zhong Lin snorted coldly: "Don't do your business, we are the Liaodong Army, on the order of the marshal, we came to arrest the general soldier and the prefect of Jiyang, and the officials on the scene had better sit down for me, otherwise, the gun will not recognize people." These words are both dissuasive and threatening. He knew in his heart that as long as the people present today were officials, none of them should think about it.

Half an hour of waiting, filling the hall with tempting food, no one dared to move. Inside and outside the hall, everyone panicked, trembling as they looked at the handsome-faced man who was sitting on it and picking up a pistol and playing with it.

Just now, a self-righteous guy stood up and wanted to slip away, but before he could run two steps, he was shot in the head by the man, and blood was splattered on the spot.

Liu Jun has finally arrived. As soon as he got off the horse, he saw the guard lying in front of the gate on the left in front of the Jiyang prefect's house, and knew that Zhong Lin had moved, but he didn't say anything.

Signaling to drag people away, Liu Jun tidied up his cloak, and then guessed that Cai Tinggan had already walked into the county office accompanied by Huo Yuanjia and others.

Passing through the door, as soon as he entered, Liu Jun saw that the places that could be seen everywhere were hung with auspicious red cloths, not to mention, the prefect's hall in the middle, but also a big bronzing beast where the word was placed, at a glance, inside and outside the hall. There are about fifty or sixty tables, full of delicacies from the mountains and seas. in the hall. It was also full of officials, merchants, and landlords dressed in silk and animal clothing.

The Yellow River burst its banks, and as an official, he didn't know how to go to a place to help the people transfer their property and strengthen the embankment, but there was corruption here. Liu Jun's face was suddenly blank, and he walked through these tables without saying a word, and went straight to Zhong Lin.

"Everyone's caught?"

"Don't worry, you've got it." Zhong Lin stood up, asked Liu Jun to sit down, and beckoned this time.

Several soldiers of the guard company with steel helmets on their heads immediately brought Naxiang and Bomur, who were tied up like zongzi.

When the two of them heard that it was the Liaodong Army, they had already begun to disperse, and now when they heard that the person just now actually called the man in front of them in a black cloak, they all knew that this person was Liu Jun who made them talk about it.

As high-ranking officials, how could the two pale faces not know that this person dared even Prince Gong's nephew, let alone that he was just a marginal relative of Lafayette.

Liu Jun glanced at the two of them who were shiny and indeed pale, pointed at the two of them, and turned to Zhong Lin lightly: "I remember when the order was issued, who was not on the front line for two days and was directly executed, right?" ”

"Head, that's right." Zhong Lin glared at the two of them.

"Then why don't you do it and ask me to do it myself? Liu Jun, who was calm just now, suddenly erupted like a volcano. A punch slammed into the table.

"Pull it down, pull it down and kill it." As soon as he saw Liu Jun angry, Zhong Lin was immediately angry and shouted loudly. Have the guards drag the two down.

In a word, the two highest military and political chiefs in the two Jiyang regions immediately went to see the king of Hades.

Two gunshots rang out, and some squires who were barely sitting on their chairs just now suddenly fainted to the ground.

"Jiyang Deputy General Li Lingkai, where is Wu Xiaozhang, the commander of Jiyang County." After Liu Jun heard the gunshot, he softened his tone this time.

As soon as the words fell, the two personnel with somewhat pale faces suddenly stood up in a panic, ran to Liu Jun in a panic and knelt down, and reported their names and positions.

Liu Jun looked at it, Li Lingkai was about thirty-five years old, although his face was thin, but he was full of energy, and at first glance he was a person who commanded the army. And although Wu Xiaozhang looks a little short and slightly fat, he is still a good Qing official in the reputation of the people in Jiyang.

"The two of you, from now on, will serve as the chief soldier of Jiyang and the prefect of Jiyang respectively. As for the rest, I don't think I'm reminding. ”

After Liwei, it is necessary to immediately arrange personnel to direct the people to go to the embankment and arrange for the evacuation of personnel, Liu Jun is not a fool, if he kills all the people, who will command the disaster relief. He can't be here, after all, this is not the most dangerous place, the most dangerous place is in the Binzhou area.

In case these two people made trouble from it, he decided to let Huo Yuanjia stay here, and if the two dared to disobey the order, they would be killed directly.

The two have been serving as county officials and adjutant generals for more than ten years, and in less than a minute, they were suddenly promoted to the highest officers, how not to surprise the two. They all understood what the reminder was in Liu Jun's mouth, so they immediately retreated from the hall and went to the barracks to mobilize the army. Go to the embankment and be responsible for the evacuation of the people.

Time was pressing, and he came to Jiyang to see if the Qing army in various places had arrived at the designated location, but he didn't expect such a thing to happen in Jiyang. Now that the matter has been settled, there is no need to stay in Jiyang at all.

After arranging for Huo Yuanjia to go with him, Liu Jun turned around and stood up, got on his horse, and headed for the Yellow River.

When he came to the Yellow River, he had already seen the first batch of Qing troops to arrive, under the command of the officer, struggling to pick up the hammer and stare at the wooden stake. It can be seen that Li Lingkai's movements are still very fast.

Liu Jun thought that as long as this area could be heightened and reinforced, the flood would not be able to break the embankment, and the only thing that could cause an accident was in the Binzhou area.

The Fulong has never stopped firing, and now when he saw Liu Jun on the torpedo boat, he immediately increased the steam pressure and increased the coal filling. After a while, the torpedo boat slowly left the shore and began to move downstream.

When it comes, it is against the current. So the speed was very slow, and to go back, it was downstream, at full speed with the addition of torpedo boats. So in less than two days, the torpedo boat had already arrived in Binzhou.

When Liu Jun arrived in Binzhou, the Fifth Corps led by Li Rong had just arrived in Binzhou under the transport of older fishing boats and merchant ships.

In addition to the Liaodong Army, which arrived first in Binzhou, there are now nearly 50,000 people in the Binzhou area.

This was a huge operation, and the total number of troops directly and indirectly mobilized by Liu Jun was as high as 100,000. Half of these 100,000 people came from the Liaodong Army directly under him, and the other half was the Qing army that had been transferred from all over Shandong.

100,000 people, scattered on both sides of the strait below Jinan. Day and night to strengthen the embankment and evacuate the people, just to get everything done when the first flood comes.

Three days later, in Binzhou City, Liu Jun looked at the various defense maps on the map now, and was very satisfied with the situation.

In the past few days, the torpedo boats have not been idle. In order to increase the flood discharge capacity, some rivers along the line are direct, and where there are too many obstacles, explosives are used at the least, torpedo bombardment is used at the worst, and even the naval guns of the Pingyuan Guangbing are used.

The engineers also urgently erected pontoon bridges in various places so that the people could smoothly evacuate the dangerous areas.

"Head, a pontoon bridge on a tributary outside Binzhou was washed away, and about 3,000 people were trapped on the opposite bank." The door was opened suddenly, and Zhong Lin urgently said an urgent message.
