No matter how fanciful Brother Wu said about Xinxiang, Du Jiangong's first thought was still his house in the town.

His family has lived in Tingkou Town for five generations, and the old house is already an ancestral home, how can you rest assured if you don't go to see it!

When he ran to the gate of the town, what he saw was no longer the small city he remembered.

The fire in the city not only burned down the houses, but also ignited buildings such as watchtowers at the head of the city, and the walls cracked in many places under the high temperature.

The door is wide open and crumbling, even passing from the bottom, which also makes people worry about whether it will collapse.

There were already a lot of people gathered in front of the city gate, and Du Jiangong estimated that there were hundreds of them, and they were all worried about the situation at home and hid nearby, but most of them were stopped in front of the city gate.

It was the Tiger Guard who was holding them back.

Yu Guozhen personally stood in front of the door, and behind him, was the line of the lime mark. A platoon of tiger guards with muskets on the front line, their guns aimed at the people who were coming.

Ordinary people are extremely complicated, and Yu Guozhen never thought that with a few big words or one or two good deeds, he could make all the people happy and convinced of him. Certain constraints and restrictions can keep the people from being too blind. For example, at this moment, if they didn't use muskets, but just relied on persuasion, the people would have broken through the blockade and broken into the city, and then they would rummage through the ruins and loot, and even evolve into acts such as murder and adultery.

"What are you doing, we're going in, we're going to go into the city!" Someone shouted.

"There are still embers of fire in the city, and it is not safe to enter the city at this moment, and in order to prevent people from looting property, five people must be jointly guaranteed. before entering the city. A tiger guard shouted from a high place with a tin horn.

This reminded some people, and someone shouted at the moment: "Tingkou Town was burned by you southerners, who knows if you burned it, but it depends on the Jurchens, let us go in......"

As soon as the heckler took the lead, the crowd immediately became furious, and people began to pounce on the blockade. The emotions of the people were stirred up. It was like a fire in Tingkou Town, burning fast and spreading fast, Yu Guozhen's eyes suddenly condensed. He raised his hand. Suddenly, a row of tiger guards fired guns into the sky, and muskets rang out. The people, who were a little dizzy, were stunned for a moment.

"Again, if you want to go in, you need to be guaranteed by five people, and then our people will lead the team, so you can only rummage through the ruins of your own house. If there is a robbery, it will be dealt with by military law. Yu Guozhen snatched the horn and said coldly: "This is wartime!" ”

"What the hell are you, why are you talking such a big thing!"

The one who made a coax in the crowd was originally a gangster, and he was frightened. But when he saw a row of muskets firing into the sky, he shouted, "They don't dare to hurt anyone, don't be bluffed......

Yu Guozhen suddenly pointed over there: "Old cow! ”

Qi Niu, who was watching vigilantly beside him, suddenly rushed over like a real cow, and immediately knocked several people away, and then in the crowd. Pulled a roe deer rat over.

It's been a long time since I've been on the battlefield to show my strength, but now I can only use it to deal with this kind of gangster, Qi Niu is a little unwilling, and his hands are a little heavy, and the gangster can't stop screaming, and he keeps cursing in his mouth.

"Slash!"

Yu Guozhen made a gesture.

Blood rushed into the air. The head fell to the ground, and there was silence around him.

Yu Guozhen has always believed that the real people should work in the fields according to the four seasons in turn, and they should be busy in the workshop according to the specifications, they all know the importance of order, as long as they remind him that there is order, the vast majority of them will be happy to abide by it, because they understand that only under this order, their rights and interests can be guaranteed, and their harvest is possible.

Only lumpenproletarians hate all order. They can be used but never reused, they can be pioneers, but they should be wiped out before the end of the matter.

The lumpenproletarians in the countryside are the kind of leper slackers, and the lumpenproletarians in the towns are the gangsters and scoundrels in the streets. These people often shrink among the people, stir up trouble and create chaos, and then fish in troubled waters. Their common characteristic is that they are idle and stealing, unwilling to change their lives through their own labor and hard work, and only think about flying windfalls.

This kind of people are the cancer of society, they are the only evil, although they are not as good as the corrupt officials, but from the group point of view, they are like the corrupt officials and corrupt officials, they are all parasitic moths on those laborers who grow fruits with their own hard work and sweat.

Yu Guozhen has always had no good impression of the rogues, and an important reason is that the rogues are the product of this kind of lumpenproletarians who coerce the people. shouted for the way of heaven to eliminate violence and peace, but in fact, he did the act of killing people and setting fires to harm others and enrich himself.

This unhesitating killing in public suddenly quieted everyone down again, and the anger and greed that were provoked were also cleared.

"We enter the city in groups of 100 people, as long as we can find five people to protect each other and prove each other's identities, we can lead the people I sent in." Yu Guozhen said calmly: "Registration starts now...... Who was the first? ”

"Here comes the villain!"

Originally, Yu Guozhen thought that he would be cold, but he never thought that as soon as his words fell, a person in the crowd answered, and then, a man wearing only thin clothes walked out, he came to Yu Guozhen, and first knelt down and kowtowed: "Villain Wu Jin, thank you Nanhaibo for saving your life!" ”

Yu Guozhen didn't expect that someone would know him.

He stared at the man kneeling in front of him, less than thirty years old, with a thick skeleton, but extremely thin, and a sleazed complexion, which was the result of malnutrition. He asked, "Do you know me?" ”

"The villain was captured by Jianyu in Gyeonggi the year before last, if it weren't for Nanhai Bo, the villain would have been a ghost in a foreign land. It's just that the villain was worried about the little property and family at home, and he never went to Xinxiang according to Nanhaibo's order. I don't want to see Nanhai Bo again today, it's really, it's really ......"

When Wu Jin said this, his voice trembled a little, obviously he was really excited. Yu Guozhen nodded slightly: "You get up, since you have seen me, you should know that I don't like to bow down - your family is okay?" ”

He asked softly, but Wu Jin cried bitterly.

"The villain was reluctant to give up two acres of thin land at home. As a result, there was a famine for many years, and his wife and children fell ill one after another, so the villain could only sell Tian Yanyi, and the result was ...... Results ......"

The unspeakable result, he said several times, but he didn't say it. Many people around recognized him, and they all whispered sympathetically: "He is Wu Jin who is carrying life on the dock." What a man, with great strength, but he can't eat enough. If he is full, he can carry the bag of 300 catties alone! ”

"His wife and children died the year before last......"

Qi Niu helped Wu Jin up, and Yu Guozhen sighed slightly: "You mourn ......"

"Nanhai Bo. How can I mourn, if I had heard of you at the beginning, I moved my family to Xinxiang, where would there be such a tragedy? Wu Jin wiped a handful of tears: "I only hate ...... at the beginning"

Yu Guozhen is really not good at comforting things, so someone who is good at it immediately appeared around him.

"Big brother, your affairs are really sad, tsk, this God. I just don't open my eyes! Xu Zhong stepped forward and patted Wu Jin on the shoulder, and said with a sympathetic expression.

He pulled Wu Jin aside, and didn't know how to tell Wu Jin, Yu Guozhen didn't have time to wait for Wu Jin to come back, he looked at the people who were surrounding and gathering more and more: "You have to enter the city." Please sign up! ”

There weren't too many tirades, but this time, the people meekly lined up as they were told. They heard it from Wu Jin's words, this is Nanhai Bo, a super nobleman! For the people of the Ming Dynasty, they don't know much about the difference between the earl and the government. In most cases, as long as it is confirmed that the other party can represent the government and is not cornered, they will be accustomed to obedience.

This is closely related to the fact that in the long history of civilization of the Chinese nation, it has constantly struggled with natural disasters, especially major floods, and when the flood is raging, if it cannot unite to form a whole, then the whole group will perish. When Westerners relied on the gift of an evil god in mythology to escape the flood, the Chinese ancestors formed their own unique social way of thinking in the fight against the flood.

Every 10 Tiger Guards led 50 residents into the rubble to find the surviving belongings of their families, which completely eliminated the possibility of looting, and also made the work of extinguishing sporadic fires orderly, without causing the recurrence of fires.

With the discovery of the bodies of hundreds of Jianyu in the town, the last trace of suspicion in the hearts of the people also disappeared: sure enough, it was Jianyu who came to Tingkou, and sure enough, they set it on fire!

If it weren't for the timely arrival of the tiger guards, they would be afraid that they would be slaughtered countless times like the people of Gaomi and Jiaozhou!

Xu Zhong lost no time in pulling Wu Jin around, while appeasing the people, while boasting about Xinxiang's situation. Wu Jin regretted that his intestines were green at this time, and Yu Guozhen was allowed to go to Xinxiang with his family, but he only thought about the two acres of thin fields at home, and refused to live or die, and as a result, his family was ruined and empty-handed. Therefore, everywhere he went, he sighed for a long time, cursing himself for being stupid at the beginning, and lamenting the misery he is now.

The town of Tingkou was burned down quite thoroughly, and at this time the buildings in the town were extremely close to each other, and some alleys were only one or two feet wide, so it was impossible to rescue them after the fire started. If it weren't for wartime, you could have looked for hooks to pull the house down to avoid spreading, but where to find this thing in wartime! After the people who came back counted the belongings they had found, they cried one by one, that is, there were still some rice and flour hidden in the house, which had been turned into charcoal in such a fire, so how could they survive without food, clothing and shelter?

Du Jiangong is also pondering this problem, now his wife and children have been sent to relatives' homes, but he can't live in his relatives and build a house - he can't afford to build a house. He thought about it and felt that staying in Tingkou would be a dead end, which made him feel hopeless.

It doesn't matter if he dies, but what about his wife and children?

Until he saw Wu Jin again, his eyes lit up, and an unprecedented thought floated.

"Nanhai Bo looks ...... Although he kills people without blinking, but that is a second leper who violates his military order, his soldiers are still very good to the people, and they will never watch us freeze and starve to death - since Brother Wu is familiar with Nanhai Bo's soldiers, why don't you find Brother Wu to intercede? ”

Thinking of this, he greeted Wu Jin, and when Wu Jin came over, there was a crowd of people around him.

Smart people are not just Du Jiangong.
