Chapter 7: 176 followers
Although the memory of the main Yue Weihua yesterday is particularly fresh, but when he witnessed it with his own eyes, it was a completely different feeling, the oppressive atmosphere, the cruel scene, the inhumane and heinous behavior, all made people feel angry, crazy, and of course, a deep sense of powerlessness.
I remember that when I visited the new city of Aihuicheng in later generations, I read a description: At 11 o'clock in the afternoon of July 17, 1900 in the Gregorian calendar, looking at the other side, the Russians drove countless overseas Chinese circles around the riverside, and the noise shook the wilderness. A closer look at the Tsarist Russian soldiers each holding knives and axes, slashing east and west, breaking corpses and bones, sonic shock sour nose, the seriously wounded died on the shore, the lightly injured died in the river, and the uninjured were drowned, and the bones overflowed, covering the river and the ocean.
Isn't this exactly what you're seeing at this moment?
Wait, and although I can't see it, the Jiangdong 64 Tun tragedy is happening at this moment.
The two major tragedies occurred one after another the day before and after, and were called the "Gengzi Russian Disaster", which took the lives of more than 7,000 Chinese compatriots in total.
More than 7,000 lives!
"Damn, isn't Lao Tzu a traverser, why can't he do anything, can't change anything?"
Yue Weihua was shouting in his heart, although he was angry, but he was helpless, perhaps, the only thing he could do was to do his best to rescue the survivors, strive to let more people survive, and also salvage the bodies of the victims, so that the victims could rest in peace as soon as possible.
Trying to calm the anger in his heart, and temporarily giving up despising his own incompetence, Yue Weihua gathered all the hands, first soothed everyone's emotions, and then began to assign the task: "Everyone should know that more than 300 members of my Yue family died at the hands of Lao Maozi yesterday, and now their bones are still cold, but right now, on the other side of the river, right under our noses, there are more Chinese compatriots, following in the footsteps of my Yue family." ”
"We can't change the situation on the other side of the river, but we have to do what we can, which is to rescue survivors and recover the bodies of victims."
"However, there are constantly old Maozi's warships patrolling on the river, and if you are not careful, you may encounter Lao Maozi's gunfire and artillery bombardment, tell me, are you afraid?"
"Don't be afraid!"
The voice answered very loudly and neatly, in order to save people, the young master of the Yue family even handed over his own funeral to others to do it, and he had to come to save people, so what reason did he have to be afraid?
Besides, these men are not ordinary people, they are all dart masters and apprentices of Yue's dart game, to put it mildly, they also eat a meal that licks blood from the knife edge, and they do not use knives and guns with beards on weekdays, and it is commonplace to be injured and bleed, and even dead people are not uncommon.
Also, yesterday, these men also personally participated in the salvage of the bodies of the victims, and now they have witnessed the bloody and cruel scenes, as a bloody man, how can they be afraid?
"Young master, what do you say, let's do it, you directly assign the task, who the fuck doesn't have eggs, let his mother jump into the river to feed Wang Ba by himself."
"Haha."
A rough and loud voice sounded behind the crowd, Yue Weihua glanced at it, good guy, stand out from the crowd, at least two meters tall, as strong as a cow, it is Tian Da who was in Nie Youcai's mouth just now, his full name is Tian Dashan, standing there, it really looks like a small mountain.
Tian Dashan's words, although rough, were a good relief of the atmosphere, Yue Weihua paused, and then continued: "Everyone is a member of Yue's dart game, and we will be a family in the future, but I, Yue Weihua, will not let everyone work in vain, and this time the salary will be doubled." ”
"Young Master Yue, you also look down on people."
"That is, you can help your compatriots in suffering, so why can't we, the old and coarse, we don't want this salary."
"That's right."
……
Yue Weihua's sentence of double wages was immediately condemned by most of the men present, of course, a few people showed joy after hearing it, after all, in these years, it is not easy to support a family, there is no money to take, and you have to risk your life to do things, it is impossible for everyone to have such a high consciousness.
"Everyone is quiet, these years are in chaos, and it is not easy to support a family, and now I want everyone to accompany me Yue Weihua to risk his life to do things, this must not be done in vain, it is better to do this, let's not mention this salary for the time being, let Uncle Xiang talk to you when the time comes, okay?"
"However, this rescue and salvage mission may last for several days, everyone works hard, and after these few days, I, Yue Weihua, invite everyone to drink."
Rescuing survivors and salvaging the bodies of the victims, Yue Weihua can get a big benefit, naturally he can't lose these men, and, to be honest, Yue Weihua is ready to pull up a team, and these men in front of him are probably the first batch of soldiers under him, and they are also the most potential soldiers, so now he must have a good relationship, not to mention treating his subordinates badly, this kind of thing, Yue Weihua can't do it.
"Okay, we're done."
"Yes."
"Okay, wine must be indispensable for everyone."
"In addition, before leaving, I remind a few points, first, when going out to search and rescue on the river, we must always pay attention to the movement of the Lao Maozi battleship, at least keep a distance of more than two miles from the Lao Maozi battleship, once the other party has a tendency to approach, we will immediately dock; the second is that everyone tries to search and rescue downstream as much as possible; The third is ......
Since you can't change the big picture, let's try to change the details!
Yue Weihua is powerless to change the occurrence of the Hailanpao tragedy and the Jiangdong 64tun tragedy, and he can't change the fate of most of his compatriots, so he can only try to save some survivors.
In the next three or four days, Yue Weihua personally led the team, driving small fishing boats, haunting the river, constantly scanning the waves of the river with binoculars, rolling torrents, and once he found a survivor, he took action in time to rescue.
On July 17, 55 people participated in the rescue, all of them were people from the dart bureau, there were only 16 fishing boats in total, 46 survivors were rescued, and more than 300 bodies of the victims were recovered.
On July 18, more than 80 people participated in the rescue, in addition to the people of the dart bureau, there were also the lucky ones who were rescued on the 17th, and there were also a very small number of fishermen who came spontaneously, and the number of boats increased to more than 20, and the number of survivors rescued on this day reached 67 people, and more than 700 bodies of the victims were salvaged.
On July 19, more than 200 people participated in the rescue, including people from the dart bureau, survivors who were rescued two days ago, and fishermen who came spontaneously, and the number of boats increased to more than 40, and there were 79 survivors rescued on this day, and more than 1,000 bodies of the victims were recovered.
July 20,......
The people of China, it should be said that most of them are kind-hearted, and many times, many things, the reason why no one does it is actually the lack of a leader.
Yue Weihua is now such a leader, under the leadership of Yue Weihua, with the support of Yue's dart bureau, with the participation of the majority of fishermen and ordinary people, the Gengzi Russian disaster, fortunately survived more than 200 compatriots, and in history, the final swim across the Heishui River, and only dozens of people survived.
However, Yue Weihua has not planned to personally participate in the rescue and salvage since July 20, because after July 20, Hailanpao and Jiangdong Sixty-four Tun on the other side have basically been cleared by Tsarist Russia, in other words, the Gengzi Russian disaster is basically over, of course, the follow-up work of salvaging the remains will definitely continue for a while, and these things, Yue Weihua skillfully arranged for the local fishermen.
Because this rescue and salvage was planned and led by Yue Weihua, and personally participated in the whole process, Yue Weihua gathered a lot of merit luck for the merit tower, and Yue Weihua was also rewarded with 671 merit points, plus the previous 102 points, and now Yue Weihua's merit points have reached 773 merit points, which just comes in handy.
Of course, these are not Yue Weihua's biggest gains.
Yue Weihua's biggest gain is that 176 young people swore to follow him, which Yue Weihua didn't expect at first.
After all, at the beginning, Yue Weihua just wanted to do his best to save more compatriots and earn some merit points by the way.
And with the first batch of lucky people, after recovering some physical strength, they actively participated in the rescue, Yue Weihua thought of these survivors, no matter in any aspect, they are his best comrades-in-arms, the best soldiers, and the best team.
First, Yue Weihua is their savior, so he doesn't have to worry about their loyalty.
Second, Yue Weihua has the same experience as them, they are all homeless and homeless people, and they have too much common language.
Third, they all have an unforgettable hatred for Lao Maozi, which is also a strong motivation for future battles.
Fourth, the prestige of the Yue family, the support of Yue Xiang and the Yue family's dart game.
In fact, there is no need for Yue Weihua to say anything encouraging, but only one sentence: I want to pull up a team to kill Lao Maozi, and that is enough.
On the morning of July 20th, after the burial of the Yue family, Yue Weihua took these 176 followers, plus Yue Hai, Yue Hu, Yue Weiyun, Yue Qingjie, Yue Qingren and Yue Xiaodong, a total of 183 people, all the way to a mountain at the northern foot of Bulun Mountain, looking at the tired faces behind him, but his eyes were unusually firm and strong, Yue Weihua felt very satisfied in his heart.
Except for Yue Xiaodong and Yue Weihua himself, the others are all people who have the ability to swim across the Heishui River, not only must be familiar with the water, they must have a considerable level of physical fitness, they must also have great perseverance and perseverance, and they also need to have great luck, otherwise it is impossible to survive, you must know that there are more than 7,000 people, but they can survive more than 200 ah, although they cannot be said to be one in a hundred, but they are not too much.
Besides, they basically died with their families, basically they have no relatives, and they have a deep blood hatred for Lao Maozi, isn't this the best warrior to fight Lao Maozi?
