Chapter 616: The Battle in the Shadows (Part II)

In the refugee settlement in Shouguang City, more than 8,000 people entered the circle. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info Men and women, young and old. A middle-aged man who fled with his daughter is not surprising in terms of appearance or life. Coupled with his lack of words, he became more and more unnoticeable.

In this kind of place, the order is actually chaotic, especially the safety of women, and there is no guarantee. There is always a stench lingering on his daughter's body, which makes people feel sick, so no one can make up their minds. But when acting, being touched or rubbed with oil is still unavoidable. It wasn't until I entered the city and the police checked that the situation was better.

Settlements also have rules, and the laws of the Republic apply here as well. The communal officials who distributed porridge every day would ask the refugees by name, and five unlucky people had their heads cut off and hung outside the settlements for the humiliation of women alone. Even if the man tried hard to justify that he paid for the food, it could not be regarded as strong, and he did not escape the knife.

After the reunification, beheadings were legally abolished and were replaced by hanging or shooting. But Shandong still retains executioners, and when one of them shouted injustice, the county governor who looked like a soldier more than a scholar smoked a cigarette and replied, "If you have the ability, you will go to the underworld to sue me after you die!" Do it! Then a head was cut off.

I hadn't seen a person who had cut off his head for a long time, and he was frightened by this method of killing, and no one dared to stretch out his hand indiscriminately. But this man's life is not very comfortable, and the main reason is that he is not social.

Such a refugee group may not be very cohesive, but when someone talks about something related to them, they still hope that there will be some resonance below, at least a few words of scolding. The appearance of the big man who turns his head and leaves, no matter how you look at it, will not give face, and of course he will not be able to get a good face.

According to the rules, unless the husband and wife are married, the other men and women live in separate areas, and the daughter makes the bed for her father before going to the women's camp. The man came back, looked at her twice, didn't say anything, and only instructed his daughter before leaving: "Don't have any dealings with that second sister Li, listen to your tongue, she is full of no words, she is not a good person." ”

The filial daughter didn't dare to disobey, but she didn't agree with her father's point of view, "What the second sister said is not bad, along the way, don't you let me wipe the feces on my body?" All on the face. It was still in Shouguang that I washed it. ”

"Of course this alone isn't bad, but everything else she says is a bastard. What kind of handsome draft girl, who specializes in harming the big girl, and sends it to the barracks to vent the fire of the soldier after one night, this is all nonsense. What are the women around Dashuai like, who can take a fancy to you? ”

The daughter looked out cautiously, lowered her voice and said, "Dad, have you really seen a handsome?" ”

The man was silent for a moment, then waved his hand, "Hurry up and go back to your place to sleep, and don't ask about this." ”

On the second night, there was a smile on the daughter's face, "Dad, from tomorrow, you don't have to drink porridge." We can live outside, I was chosen. ”

"Picked? Which one was chosen? ”

"Shandong No. 2 Textile Factory, Manager Zou personally picked me up. It is said that it is three yuan a month, although it is not much, but I can arrange a family member's meal, I can live in the dormitory, and as for my father, I can also live outside. With your strength, are you afraid that you won't have any work? We don't have to be here anymore, and we don't have to suffer from their nests. ”

"Second Textile Mill...... Manager Zou personally picked you? The man's face showed a look of relief, and he rarely had a smile, "The place is a good place, the people are good people, and the wages have been reduced by half compared to the past, but in this world, those who are willing to use people are good people, and don't pursue the matter of reducing wages." Girl, work hard when you get there, don't be lazy and slippery, in the future, you have to learn to be smarter. ”

The man, who has always been silent, seems to have suddenly changed as a person, pulling his daughter and babbling for more than an hour. instructed her how to guard against bad men with bad intentions, and how to choose an honest man to live a lifetime.

It wasn't until his daughter's mood changed from joy to uneasiness that the man said: "It's okay, I just want to talk to you, the rules in the factory are strict, and we may not be able to meet often." In addition, my father didn't tell you something, and I was picked on as well. Go to the coal mine in Zaozhuang, the place is more strictly managed, and you only see each other once a year, don't think about your father, work hard......"

Unbeknownst to the daughter, her father, who had always been cold-mouthed, cried in the middle of the night that night, and by the day of the next day, the daughter left the refugee camp with more than a dozen sisters and went to work at the Shouguang branch of the No. 2 textile factory. In the evening, the talkative man began to preach again.

"These girls are ruined, I tell you, if you don't listen, there is something you can do. What textile mills? It was sent to the official cellar and set fire to the soldiers. If we continue like this, there will be no way to live, we have to do it ourselves......"

Suddenly, seeing a man walking towards him, the preacher was stunned, but the man who had always been silent was the first to speak, "You're right, if you continue like this, you won't be able to live, you can only rely on yourself!" ”

His steps suddenly quickened, his eyes widened, and the man pounced like a mad tiger. The preacher also noticed that the situation was different, and subconsciously stood up and pulled out a dagger out of nowhere. He is not a weak person, the dagger is very skillful, and he stabs the middle-aged man's lower abdomen without any waste. But at the moment when he succeeded in the knife, he felt a huge pain in his chest, and when he looked down, he saw that in the hand of the big man, I don't know when, there was an extra Guanshan knife with a length of one foot and two inches.

"Playing with knives...... You don't make it. When we play with knives, you don't know where they are! The middle-aged man, who gave people a cowardly feeling, drew a knife and handed the knife, and in the blink of an eye, he had already stabbed the other party seven or eight times in a row. Onlookers were shocked and didn't know what was happening. But I heard the man shouting

"I am the old soldier of Shaanxi to save the country! When he followed Guo Jian as a bandit, according to his guilt, it was enough to shoot him ten times. caught me in Huayin, and the handsome not only spared my life, but also gave me the opportunity to live a good life as a soldier. It was my own love for my family that I became a deserter. I'm sorry for the handsome, but I don't allow anyone to talk nonsense and ruin the reputation of the handsome. Listen, Zhao Guanshuai gave you food, treated you, gave you order, and gave you work, is there anything else? Since ancient times, has there been a reason to rely on being a refugee, so you don't do anything and only eat ready-made? He's a good guy, and he deserves to die for what he says right and wrong! "A knife stabbed out, and blood splattered all over his face.

In a place like a refugee camp, fighting and dying are inevitable, and if it weren't for a large number of armed police and soldiers outside, I am afraid that the blood of fighting women here would have been shed for food and women a long time ago. For two lives, not many people care about it, but the words of the big man are like throwing a boulder in the well, causing countless ripples.

In the next two days, storytellers and singers began to enter, holding newspapers in their hands, to explain policies and reason to the victims. The words in the newspaper are naturally from Bai Siwen's handwriting, he has suppressed thousands of troops with one stroke, and recently fought with people in Shandong newspapers, and one person sprayed down more than a dozen people, and became a big name.

Although there are more people than few people in debating this kind of thing, his ability to reverse right and wrong is too strong, and some neutral intellectuals are shaken by his abducted thoughts, and they actually feel that what he said is also reasonable. In addition, there are literati and ink writers who are attached to Zhao Guanhou, even if they are more than the head, they are more on Zhao Guanhou's side. The pros and cons of public opinion have become more complicated.

When discussing the affairs of outsiders, it may be possible to maintain an open mind and talk about right and wrong, and when the incident involves one's own interests, except for the saints, most of them must consider the gains and losses above the level of right and wrong. Bai Siwen's power lies in the sword pointing at his heart.

It is not impossible to oppose the borrowing of foreign debts, and if anyone agrees with this, foreign debts can be cancelled at any time. However, the upper echelons may not really care about the reduction of benefits, and even look forward to cutting benefits, but who dares to say it.

Since Shandong engaged in the unified purchase and sale of grain and salt, the merchants who profited from it lost two gold mines. But the common people are really benefiting. If anyone opposes this, with Bai Siwen's boldness, he will definitely praise you by name in the newspaper. What will happen next, no one can predict.

The situation that Qianfu was referring to in the expectation turned into an endless debate, although on the surface, the Zhao faction had not lost. However, from a winning battle to a stalemate battle, this is a problem in itself, not to mention, with the change of the situation, I am afraid that the Zhao faction will still have the upper hand.

The victims of the disaster may not understand the main truth, and they cannot understand the words in the newspapers. But the words of these artists are more down-to-earth and easier to understand. Compared with the alarmist words of those preachers, the artists are talking about hope, the future, and the future.

With them came the local personnel of Shouguang, who did not come with their bare hands, bringing not only food, winter clothes, but also work. Shandong's demand for manpower is almost endless, from road workers to miners to military industry and iron works. Women are recruited in places such as nurses in hospitals and the army, as well as in yarn mills, textile mills, and various daily necessities factories and shops.

This opportunity is also extremely rare for the development of Shandong, and the labor cost of workers is surprisingly cheap, and there are not too many people at this time. Even if the position is temporarily redundant, it doesn't matter, after all, Shandong will expand and develop in the future, and the people who should be recruited must always be recruited.

With a job, you have an income, not only can you move out of the refugee area, but your family can also be cared for. The elderly and children, these who can't work, as long as their relatives have jobs, they can get a bite to eat, and it is also an extremely cost-effective deal.

The discontent that had gathered because of the incitement quickly vanished in the face of real money. The death of Dahan also dispelled some people's concerns. If you want to let go of even a prisoner of war, will you still want your own internal organs?

After all, people are not idiots, there will always be thoughts that should be, and if you think about it carefully, you can find that those words may not be trustworthy. In addition, there are many skilled workers among the refugees, who can be classified as those who rely on their skills to eat, and when they meet the owners who know the goods, they will not be treated badly, let alone worry about personal safety.

The county governor stood behind several soldiers and muttered in a low voice, "In the past few days, the grandson who has bewitched the public, let that daredevils stab one to death, and a few more, show me a few more." It's useless to just kill them, I have to dig out the big fish behind me, this time make a whole fish feast, let the marshal also see, I leave the army, I can also share the worries of the marshal. ”

Similar dramas are playing out throughout Shandong, and in some cities, the agitators are more powerful, or because of the problems in the local officials' own affairs, and refugee riots do occur. However, before they could make a big noise, the garrison began to move, and the cavalry could frighten most of them by making a few circles, and when the infantry came out in a queue, the work of sweeping the tail was left.

Overall, the crisis posed by refugees is under control. Although the people's grievances have not been resolved, and the pressure on public security and society is still there, it has greatly improved compared with the beginning. The previous great immigrants from Henan and Shaanxi were like a whetstone, sharpening the Shandong officials extremely sharp, and when they dealt with similar incidents, they always had experience and would not be in a hurry.

What Zhao Guanhou didn't know was that with the resolution of the refugee problem, even Fusang's planned attack plan began to be shelved. The remaining intelligence officers in Fuso received an urgent temporary order from their superiors. Stop the sabotage work at this stage and instead collect details of the warlord Zhao's disaster relief, including measures, procedures, relevant precautions, and refugee responses.

This matter was urgent, forcing these remaining lonely ghosts to stop their planned activities. They don't know about the arrangement, but the obedience and the particularity of the position also remind them not to ask about things they shouldn't ask.

It was not until much later that the survivors of these intelligence agents learned that the reason for their country's decision was a series of disaster relief measures in Shandong, which inspired the civilian department of Fuso to apply to their superiors to suspend the destruction and learn from the experience instead. Fuso is a disaster-prone country, with earthquakes and volcanoes, and I don't know when it will happen. The deaths caused by the poor disaster relief are even greater than the disaster itself. If we can learn from Shandong's experience, it is foreseeable that the number of people who die due to disasters in Fuso will drop significantly in the future.

Compared with the destruction of Shandong, it is still necessary to take care of the country first, and the bigwigs of Fusang made a temporary decision, and learning from experience was put in the first place. In a short period of time, there was a scene in which Fuso's intelligence officers turned a cold eye and watched from the sidelines, learning how to provide disaster relief, and using the enemy as their teacher. The noisy sabotage work has come to an end for the time being.

Shandong's counterattack did not stop because of the cessation of Fusang, and those who incited right and wrong in the crowd were dug out one after another and disappeared into the vast sea of people, as if they had never existed. During this period of time, all members of the Shandong intelligence system canceled their vacations, and screams could be heard in the torture room anytime and anywhere.

The Fuso envoy in the capital has also been rewarded, but he has not shown the slightest anxiety. Facing the chessboard, he played the score by himself, and only said slowly: "In the first round of the competition, Shandong is a small victory and half a move. But this was only the beginning, and his troubles were not over, but just coming. I'm looking forward to more surprises from Zhao Dujun, after all, the better he does, the more we can learn, and the more I appreciate this opponent. (To be continued.) )
