On July 10, 1918, without encountering any resistance, the avant-garde regiment of the Tiger Ben Division of the National Revolutionary Army occupied Chengmai!

Nasu, the local aboriginal lord of Chengmai, fled.

According to the previous deployment, the Tiger Benshi did not pursue him, but when he fled, he divided everything he had into two and forced them to the mountain pass and Fukuyama respectively.

In this way, the entire Nasu tribe was cut off.

Wang Hengyue, who entered Chengmai, immediately started the work of calming the people's hearts and pacifying the locality. The captured Nasu militants were quickly released after a brief interrogation and the confiscation of their weapons.

The mood of the people began to settle down, and the National Revolutionary Army was by no means as terrible as it had been said before!

Wang Hengyue made it clear to everyone with a high profile: he was only coming to conquer Long Jiguang in the name of the military and political axe, not to deal with the locals! Anyone who is friendly to the National Revolutionary Army will be reciprocated by the National Revolutionary Army!

In this way, people's hearts have been much more settled.

Armed members of the Nasu tribe who had fled began to return with weapons and surrender. Wang Hengyue kept his promise, and after registering the names of these people, they were all properly arranged.

In fact, these so-called "armed men" did not pose any threat to Wang Hengyue's army. In addition to the rifles provided by the troops, most of the weapons they used were primitive weapons such as bows, arrows, broadswords, etc.

Perhaps the only ones who have some combat strength are Nasu and his personal guards, who are still on the run. Wang Hengyue was waiting patiently, waiting for Nasu to come out by himself!

Losing the old nest of Chengmai, Nasu couldn't hold on for much longer!

Wang Hengyue firmly remembered what Gui Guangtang said to himself:

The people with the hoes are gone, and the people with guns are few!

A large number of farm tools were urgently transferred from Guangdong. In fact, there was a period of history before this, Qiongzhou's agricultural economy was still developing very well, but with the increase of rebellions, the local agriculture was seriously damaged, so this formed a kind of evil surname cycle: the more people who can't eat enough, the more people dare to rebel!

Wang Hengyue did this, and gradually made the locals in Chengmai less afraid and a little closer.

These members of the National Revolutionary Army, instead of drinking human blood and eating people's hearts as advertised before, have also behaved very friendly, and there is not necessarily anything bad about them in governing the localities.

"Heng Shuai, capture Chengmai, you can launch an attack on Haikou."

"There's no hurry." Glancing at Huang Zixuan, Wang Hengyue's attention was all focused on the young man who climbed the coconut tree: "Long Ji Guangjun is easy to solve, but it is slightly trickier to deal with Nasu. Haikou can be calmed down, but these places in Chengmai need to put more energy. Hey, be careful."

When the young man was halfway down, he looked like he had stumbled, but he had deftly tumbled off the tree.

"Good skills, amazing!" Wang Hengyue said with a thumbs up.

The young man of the Li tribe chopped the coconut open: "Generalissimo, you taste it." ”

Wang Hengyue drank all the coconut water in one go, praised it in a hurry, and was about to throw it away, but the young man hurriedly took it over, and said while cutting it: "Generalissimo, coconut meat can be eaten." ”

"What's your name, young man?" Wang Hengyue took a piece of coconut meat and tasted it.

"Ah Le"

"Ah Le? Good name, good name. Wang Hengyue patted his stomach: "This coconut is really a good thing, you can drink it when you are thirsty, you can eat it when you are hungry, let's go, go to your house to have a look." ”

Ah Le was stunned for a moment, and then a little embarrassed: "Generalissimo, my house is very broken." ”

"Broken?" Wang Hengyue said with a smile: "What are you afraid of, how can any child think that his family is poor?" ”

Ah Le then took the generalissimo and his party to his home not far away.

The house where the Li people live in Qiongzhou is very distinctive, which is a kind of boat-shaped house.

Aunt Ah Le saw the guests coming, and she didn't know what kind of generalissimo and little marshal were coming, but she just thought it was a friend that Ah Le Xin recognized, and warmly invited them to sit down, and also brought corn wine for hospitality.

"It's a beautiful house." Wang Hengyue casually found a stool and sat down: "Auntie, I heard that which of you has a big house, and whoever has more people, more land and more money, right?" ”

"Not really." Ah Le's mother, who was making a clay pot there, smiled and said, "This is the treasure left to us by our ancestor Princess Danya. ”

Ye Bao'er, who came in together, suddenly became interested: "Auntie, tell us about it." ”

Ah Le's mother smiled: "That is, you outsiders don't know." In ancient times, there were no people here. When Emperor Dayu sat in the world, there was a slang country in the South China Sea, and the king had a princess named Danya. She married three husbands, all of whom died one after the other. It is rumored that she is a broom star, broken at home, and died in the country, which made the city full of wind and rain for a while, and the people were panicked, and they asked for Princess Danya to be executed. But at this time, Princess Danya was already pregnant, and the king couldn't bear to do it, so on an early morning when the north wind was howling, he prepared a rudderless boat and some wine and food, as well as a mountain knife and three catties of grain, and put Princess Tanya on the boat. A little yellow dog raised by Princess Tanya also followed the boat, and the boat floated in the wind into the vast sea.

I don't know how long it took, but Princess Tanya's boat ran aground on the shore of a desert island. She saw the mountains and mountains in the distance, and the flocks of monkeys walking carefree through the forest, all the melancholy and fear disappeared at once, and after feasting on hares and birds' eggs, Princess Tanya settled on this desert island. In order to shelter from the wind and rain and defend against the invasion of wild beasts, Princess Tanya cut and erected several wooden stakes on the beach, and then buckled the boat upside down on the wooden stakes as a roof, and cut thatch to surround it, and she had a home of her own. During the day, she took the little yellow dog up the mountain to hunt wild beasts and pick wild fruits. Sleeping in this houseboat at night, the little yellow dog faithfully guards the door. Later, when the planks of the boat rotted, she cut off the thatch and covered the roof, and we had the boat-shaped house we lived in. ”

Wang Hengyue and Ye Bao'er listened with relish, and when Ah Le's mother finished speaking, Wang Hengyue couldn't help but sigh a few times: "Every nation has its own origin, and there is no exception wherever it goes." Auntie, whose house is the biggest here? ”

"Needless to say, of course it's Master Nasu's." Ah Le's mother said without thinking about it: "Master Nasu's house is the largest and has the most land, but when I heard that there was a man surnamed Wang, Master Nasu ran away." Hey, it's okay to run away, so let's have a few days to live in peace. ”

"Grandma." Ah Le quietly pulled his mother: "This is the generalissimo surnamed Wang." ”

The movement in Ah Le's mother suddenly stopped, she was stunned for a moment, and stood up in a panic: "Master, I, I didn't know you were"

"Auntie, sit down, I am good friends with your son Ah Le." Wang Hengyue said indifferently.

Ah Le's mother sat down carefully, a little at a loss, Wang Hengyue comforted a few words with kind words: "Great God, don't worry, I don't eat human flesh, I don't drink human blood, the taste is not as good as the coconut that Ah Le invited me to eat." ”

Ah Le and his mother couldn't help but laugh.

Wang Hengyue took a sip of corn wine: "Auntie, I'm here to fight Long Jiguang, not to disturb you." Just now you said that Nasu ran away, and you can live in peace in a few days, what's going on? ”

Ah Le's mother was timid and didn't dare to say that Ah Le was a descendant, and she was much bolder: "Generalissimo, you don't know, Master Nasu's family has been managing here." He was so fierce that if he disobeyed his orders, he would be whipped and thrown into the sea, and some would be stoned and drowned alive. He had to give him more than half of our food, and he forced us to go to the bottom of the sea to collect pearls, and we died too much every year for this."

Ah Le said a little upside down, his tone was hurried, and he couldn't wait to say everything he knew. Ah Le's mother was frightened on the side, in case Master Nasu came back, how could she hear these words?

But Wang Hengyue completely understood that Nasu's rule here was not as stable as he had imagined before. In fact, he is just a local tyrant and bully here.

Ah Le said happily: "Later, after Long Jiguang came, Master Nasu became even more energetic, he often said that he had Long Jiguang's gun behind him, and no one was afraid." But when the generalissimo came, he ran away. ”

Wang Hengyue laughed "haha":

"It seems that you Nasu lords don't have the courage to do so well!"

"He dares to bully us!" Ah Le said indignantly: "If I had a gun in my hand, I would have done it with him a long time ago!" ”

Seeing Ah Le's mother's pale face, Wang Hengyue said: "Auntie, don't be afraid, even if Nasu comes back, I will support you, a little local tyrant, what kind of storm can he really set off?" ”

"Generalissimo" Ah Le said cautiously: "Did you beat Long Jiguang away and still leave?" ”

"I'm not leaving." Wang Hengyue replied very neatly: "We want to set up a civil envoy here to manage Qiongzhou, why did everyone keep rebelling before?" Because I couldn't eat enough, I was dying of hunger. If you can eat your stomach and have a few spare money in your hand, you say yourself, will you rebel? ”

Ah Le smiled innocently: "No, if you want to do this, what am I doing to lose my head like that?" ”

"So then, I want to sit my ass tight, too." Wang Hengyue smiled slightly: "I protect you and let you eat enough, what about you, you will not rebel, I have been sitting here for a long time, do you say this is the truth?" ”

Ah Le nodded vigorously. Isn't that what happens in the world?

Huang Zixuan hurriedly walked in, glanced at the people in the room, and said in a low voice: "Heng Shuai, I just got the news that my second regiment surrounded Nasu this morning. ”

Wang Hengyue immediately stood up: "Go!" ”
