Chapter 228: Grass Mustard
In the south of the Yangtze River in April, the grass grows and the warbler flies, the warbler swallows, and the carriage seems to have a faint aroma on this land, which makes people feel refreshed and happy. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Li Tanhua, Tongxiang is ahead."
The coachman has been on the road all year round and is very familiar with this area.
Tongxiang belongs to one of the five counties of Jiaxing, and the carriage is not far from Hangzhou, and Hu Zongxian is in Hangzhou at this time.
Li Weiguo lifted the curtain and looked at it, which was a little shocking.
The walls are broken in many places, and there are traces of smoke and fire everywhere, indicating that there seems to have been a fierce battle here not long ago.
"Alas, it's all the sins of the widows!"
The coachman sighed.
The carriage drove into the city, and the sky was blue, because of martial law, the carriage was not allowed to pass, but fortunately, Li Weiguo showed his letter of appointment, and the officials let it go.
"Please come into the city, please come into the city."
The chubby soldier defending the city had a sideways face, and when he saw that the kid in front of him turned out to be the imperial history of the Qipin Imperial Court, he immediately changed his face and said with a smile.
The soldiers defending the city were about seventy-seven, eighty-eight, one by one, dejected and listless, looking at most of them in their forties, and this man with a full face was already young and strong.
"The Wokou are attacking at this time?"
Li Weiguo asked the soldier.
"The day before yesterday." The chubby soldier said almost flatteringly: "But there are many people, I am afraid that there are thousands, and the brothers in our city are also desperate to save this city, otherwise the people of Tongxiang will suffer!" ”
Although Tongxiang belongs to Jiaxing, it is not close to the sea, and it seems that the Japanese are really rampant!
Tongxiang is only a hundred miles northeast of Hangzhou, and it is the gateway of Hangzhou since ancient times......
Li Weiguo didn't dare to imagine that if the city in front of him was lost, wouldn't the city of Hangzhou be in danger?
At this time, Li Weiguo, as the governor of Zhejiang Province, was naturally a little worried in his heart.
"That wolf is a divine soldier, very strong, it is said that they are all dead soldiers who have drunk talismans, little adult, you have to be careful on the road!"
An elderly veteran said, with a long scar on his face that had not yet scabbed, presumably from the previous day's fighting.
This city has just experienced a big war, at this time there is some depression, although it is fortunate that the Japanese did not break through Tongxiang, but after all, it is just after the war, some of the people are panicked, the officers and soldiers are also listless, some people are still pushing carts full of goods, babies and the like to beg the officers and soldiers to go out of the city, it is estimated that they are fleeing the famine.
"That Japanese soldier, you can't resist, let me out, let me out."
An old man with a gray beard wailed.
The old man was sitting on one side of the cart, crying and bowing to the soldiers defending the city, begging them to let him go.
"Those people have strange hairstyles, but they don't blink an eye when they kill people! The knife rises and falls, this is a human head, their knife, blowing hair and breaking hair, old man, I am so old this year, I just want to enjoy my old age, but now where is there a peaceful birthday in Tongxiang? ”
As usual, martial law was imposed after the war, and they were not allowed to enter, but the people in the city are now panicked, like frightened birds, where can they take care of this?
The people who wanted to flee lined up in a long line, their faces withered, all begging the soldiers to get out of the city.
"There are old and young people in my family, military master, please, just let us out......"
The power of example is endless, and after the old man spoke, the common people also pleaded.
"Let us out of the city, I still have unweaned children at home, those widows are too cruel, they don't even let go of children......"
The old people, women, and children all pleaded in unison, and several middle-aged men also cried like wolves.
"Shut up!"
The flesh on the chubby soldier's face shook off for a moment, and as soon as he threw away the spear in his hand, he straightened up and beckoned to the old man who had spoken first.
"You rags! If you talk any more, you'll all be thrown into prison! ”
The man's face was a little angry and angry.
The old man was sitting on the cart, and the man in the cart estimated that he hadn't slept well for several days, and he was already trembling.
"Daddy......"
After the man planted the onion upside down, he hurriedly lifted the car.
Before he spoke, the old man was violently pressed to the ground by the car, blood flowing, and he was moaning.
When the people saw this, they couldn't help but retreat.
"Lord Li, you see, some people in the city are afraid of death, and this is the case in our place, the people are cowardly, and it is also a hardship for our guards to guard the door."
stopped everyone, and the chubby came to Li Weiguo to invite merit.
"To say that our brothers are all first-class, dare to fight hard in battle, and are also conscientious on weekdays......" Chubby boasted to himself.
"Then why did you stuff your head into the basket and dare not move when the Japanese invaded that day?"
The one who spoke was a half-sized man, and it was estimated that it was the grandson of the old man, and the old man was not lightly injured by this fight, so this person stood up and pointed at the fat man and said.
"You!" I was a little embarrassed to be poked at once, and I stomped my feet in a chubby way, which was about to come up and pull this child.
"Don't move!"
Li Weiguo spoke, although he was only fourteen or fifteen years old, and his voice was still a little immature, but at this time, his official tone was still very capable of bluffing people.
"Hehe, Master Li......" is so chubby that he doesn't dare to make a mistake, so he comes over again to flatter.
Li Weiguo didn't have the heart to pay attention to this person, so he came to the old man's side.
His son was crying at this time, constantly shaking the old man, but the old man was stunned for a long time and did not move.
Li Weiguo pulled his eyelids and felt his pulse.
"People can't be resurrected from death, so mourn."
The old man is dead.
Wow......
The half-grown boy just now cried out, and the cold cry could make people cold from the head to the tail vertebrae! This threw himself on his grandfather and cried.
The people are all related, and the old king, who came out with him, is now gone?
People in the troubled world are like mustard, and it only takes a moment of hard work to make this still fresh human life a life.
The old man's family was crying, and the people were either numb to watch, or they were also crying, but the fat man, the initiator of this incident, just touched his head: "I just pushed it, and this person is dead?" ”
When a person dies, he has to suffer a lawsuit, although it coincides with the war at this time, but before the time when the court is too busy to take care of itself, the official law is still there, and he is a little scared at this time, after all, this old man died in his own hands in public.
It was Li Weiguo, whose face was pale.
The history books only say that the Japanese are rampant, and the people don't care about themselves, but you will only understand this sentence when you are really in the middle of it.
Isn't the state a sign of ruin?
"Go and call your magistrate to come out, and say that the new Zhejiang Provincial Inspector Yushi has called him to come!"
After thinking about it for a while, he also had a plan in his heart, Li Weiguo was afraid that the magistrate would not believe it, so he stamped his official seal on the hand of the big soldier, so he called him to go and beckon the magistrate to come over. (To be continued.) )
