Chapter 54: The Power of the Mass Movement
Xia Dalong's steel teeth were crushed, this mansion condensed his ten years of hard work, the wood used is the best, and the workmanship is also first-class, looking at the entire county, no one dares to call him the first when he calls the second, now it's okay, the whole is burned into scorched earth ruins, this is not counted, the sneering eyes of the county people cut his heart like a knife.
What a Chen Zikun, even this kind of indiscriminate trick has come out, if you are unkind to me and unjust, don't blame me Xia Dalong for turning his face and being ruthless! Master Xia tucked the hem of his robe into his belt, and took out a box cannon to check it, this box cannon is not simple, it is an authentic German Mauser original goods, the front sight has been frustrated, in order to shoot quickly, Xia Dalong is a martial arts background, and he has been a patrol battalion pipe belt, and he has practiced good marksmanship, especially good at three shots, this hand is called the phoenix three nods.
Tuck the box cannon on his waist and convene twenty-six nurses, originally the Xia family had twenty-eight nurses, and the meaning of obtaining the twenty-eight constellations was obtained, these twenty-eight people were Xia Dalong's old subordinates in the patrol battalion, loyal and brave, but unfortunately they were killed by Chen Zikun last night, and now there are only twenty-six left.
The nurses were excited, wanting to avenge the dead brothers, Xia Dalong was even more sad and indignant, and waved his hand: "Brothers, find the surname Chen to take revenge!" ”
A group of murderous people went to the county office.
……
At the same time, the Protector was recruiting troops at the south gate, and once the enthusiasm of the people was aroused, the consequences were unimaginable, and in just a quarter of an hour, 800 people were recruited, far exceeding Chen Zikun's expectations.
Eight hundred people are enough to form a regiment, but these eight hundred people are a mixture of fish and dragons, and there are all kinds of people, including honest croppers, and cunning hawkers, both sixty or seventy-year-old old men, and sixteen or seventeen-year-old offspring.
However, now that the people's hearts are available, it is not the time to eliminate people, and Chen Zikun will accept all the orders.
Not to be outdone, those wealthy gentry donated money and materials one after another, but they were afraid that they would fall behind and be ridiculed in the future.
"I'll donate 100 yuan to the ocean!" Master Zhang flicked his sleeves and said righteously, the bandits named his newly married second aunt, which is simply unbearable, even if it is to make his charming little lady happy, the hundred yuan is worth it.
"I donate 100 catties of white flour...... No, I will donate 100 catties of eggs and steamed buns to serve as dry food for everyone to satisfy their hunger! "Boss Lin is also very atmospheric today, his sister-in-law is only sixteen years old this year, and she can pinch out the water when she is tender, and she is reluctant to taste it when she is a brother-in-law, how can you let the bandits take advantage.
Li Juren is a well-known Sven man in the county, his son died of tuberculosis last winter, leaving a widow in her twenties, with big milk and round belly, and the people in the county town are greedy for it.
On weekdays, Li Juren is the most taboo to mention his daughter-in-law, but today he did not brush his sleeves away, but went to the front of the stage, and said generously: "The bandit soldiers are coming to the city, Nantai has reached the last moment, with General Chen leading us, we are bound to break the bandits!" Fathers and elders enthusiastically donated, I Li naturally can't lag behind, I donate 50 pieces of silk to make a banner for the army, in order to strengthen the army! ”
Everyone looked at Li Juren's eyes with some sacred colors, a reader is a reader, how good it is.
With a coughing sound, a thin figure floated over, and Sun Haoran, the young owner of the coffin shop, led a few helpers to carry a huge coffin.
"Sun Haoran, what are you carrying the coffin for?" Gong Zijun asked.
Sun Haoran was dressed in a satin shirt and pants, and there was a paper cigarette in his mouth: "There is nothing at home, I donate a mouthful of good longevity materials, everyone take a look at this wood, this workmanship, absolutely nothing to say, it is the treasure of the town store in my shop, take it out for charity sale today, whoever bids the highest will give it to whom, and the money will be donated to General Chen for military expenses!" ”
Gong Zijun sighed: "Old classmate, I didn't misunderstand you. ”
As soon as Sun Haoran arched his hand, his face as a perennial opium smoker was unexpectedly glowing.
Chen Zikun said: "This coffin is good, but there is no need to sell it, first carry me to the city, I Chen Zikun is here to put a sentence, I am here, the city is here, I am dead, the city is still there!" This coffin is for me. ”
"Good!" County Magistrate Liu took the lead in applauding, and everyone applauded with tears in their eyes, and their morale reached a new peak.
Suddenly, a slender girl emerged from the crowd and shouted, "I have something to donate." ”
Everyone took a closer look, isn't this the pearl of Master Xia's palm, Miss Xia Jingxi.
Xia Jingxi was holding a jewelry box in her hand, the lid was open, and the inside was golden, Master Xia loved his daughter, and bought her a lot of gold and silver jewelry, but she didn't expect that the father didn't come forward, and when the daughter stood up first, everyone couldn't help but sigh.
With tears in his eyes, County Magistrate Liu took Xia Jingxi's jewelry box, raised his arms and shouted: "The people of Nantai are strong!" ”
Chen Zikun nodded solemnly, holding the knife in his hand, he knew that County Magistrate Liu was going to start playing with him.
Liu Youjin said with emotion: "At the moment of the great enemy, the people are enthusiastically joining the army, the gentry donate money and materials, and even the weak women donate jewelry. ”
Everyone was happy, the gentry smiled reservedly, and the peddlers and pawns were also excited, regardless of the social level, vanity was the same, and it was so glorious to be able to leave a name in the county chronicle and brag about it in front of their children and grandchildren in the future.
Suddenly, County Magistrate Liu changed his words and said: "But, why did our Nantai County fall into the situation of being besieged by bandits, where did we pay the annual security donations in the past?" We spent more than 100 people in the security regiment to maintain, where are they all at this juncture! ”
Someone in the crowd shouted: "Qiu Fuzhao has dysentery." ”
There was a burst of laughter.
County Magistrate Liu said sternly: "Raising bandits is self-respecting, what use does such a security group want him!" In the name of the county magistrate, I ordered the removal of Qiu Fuzhao from his position as the head of the security regiment, and the security regiment is unwilling to contribute, so fuck off! ”
County Magistrate Liu, who has always been polite and polite, actually burst into foul language, which made everyone extremely excited, and everyone's hormones were rising sharply.
County Magistrate Liu saw that the heat was almost over, exchanged glances with Chen Zikun, waved next door and said: "Old and young masters, go, go to the security group to confiscate their guns, they don't fight bandits, let's fight ourselves!" ”
"Let's go!" Some people in the crowd followed suit, and the emotions of the masses were quickly mobilized, and they rushed to the headquarters of the security regiment.
Chen Zikun took the lead, followed by twelve gun-wielding soldiers, and then thousands of people, the tide generally poured to the door of the security group, Qiu Fuzhao and others heard the wind, and fled from the back wall in fright, leaving only an empty courtyard.
The common people poured into the courtyard, looting and looting everywhere, and the harvest was not small, dozens of miscellaneous rifles, including Manlixia in Austria, Winchester in the United States, Lebel in France, water beads in Russia, golden hooks in Japan, and some old-fashioned guns and firearms, all of which were harvested.
Looking at the elated people, Chen Zikun and Liu Youjin glanced at each other, both happy and a little frightened, the mass power that was mobilized was really amazing!
"County Magistrate Liu, where were you in the spring of the eighth year of the Republic of China?" Chan suddenly asked a strange question.
"I ...... I went to university in Beijing. Liu Youjin said, "Is there something wrong?" ”
"Oh, it's okay, I see." Chan said.
Liu Youjin understood in an instant and smiled knowingly.
……
Xia Dalong was rushing over to the county government with twenty-six nursing homes, and he saw Qiu Fuzhao and his gang fleeing like lost dogs.
"Stop, what's the panic? Did the bandits enter the city or what? Xia Dalong held the handle of the gun on his waist with one hand, turned two iron galls with the other, and asked sharply.
"Master, it's not good, the surname Chen and the county magistrate Liu, led the people to lift the security group, and the guns and ammunition were confiscated by them, fortunately I walked fast, otherwise this life would have been lost." Qiu Fuzhao was panting and frightened.
"Ridiculous, how can the security regiment let the people surrender their guns, what are you doing to eat!" Xia Dalong said angrily, and then patted his chest: "Let's go, master, I was about to settle accounts with them, and it happened that the new accounts and old accounts were settled together." ”
Looking at the old man's majestic body, Qiu Fuzhao calmed down a little, and obediently followed Xia Dalong back.
More than 20 thugs, swaggering along the street, suddenly saw a group of black pressure in front of them, I am afraid that there must be thousands of people, many people brandishing guns in their hands, screaming, the New Year is not so lively.
Xia Dalong's heart sank, he knew that something bad was wrong, but at this time, he must not be a chicken, showing his cowardice, even if he was completely blind in his lifetime, he walked forward with a hard head, and the people on the opposite side also poured over, and the two groups of people met in the middle of the street.
Without waiting for Xia Dalong to speak, Chen Zikun opened his mouth first: "Master Xia's move is really admirable." ”
Xia Dalong was puzzled: "What are you talking about?" ”
Chen Zikun said: "Master Xia, your house was burned down by bandits last night, we must avenge this revenge, you brought out all your subordinates to help us defend the city, it is really a model for the gentry of Nantai." ”
Liu Youjin also helped: "If you have a father, you must have a daughter, and Master Xia's family are all heroes!" ”
The people brandished their weapons and shouted: "Master Xia has a kind!" Master Xia is a good man! ”
Xia Dalong knew that if he didn't say a word at this moment, he would be torn to pieces by the people in a state of madness, so he had to suppress his anger and said: "The bandits are besieging the city, and I, Xia Dalong, should do my best." ”
Chen Zikun waved his hand: "Let's go, let's go to the city!" ”
After such a vigorous scene, the time for the bandits to reply in two hours had come, during this time they smoked in the open space outside the south gate and caught lice, not realizing that the city had been turned upside down, and the county citizens who were sheep-like and timid and afraid of things had been successfully fooled into a mob fearing that the world would not be chaotic.
"Boss, look!" A bandit shouted pointing at the city.
Liang Maocai squinted his eyes and looked at the city, dozens of red, green, and green flags were suddenly erected on it, which looked lively, no, there were more people on the city wall, there were hundreds, and they seemed to be holding guys in their hands.
"Fuck it!" Liang Maocai took a sip, pulled out a monocular clairvoyant from his waist, stretched it and looked at the city, and saw a black hole between the battlements, and there was green smoke behind it, and he could almost hear the sound of the fuse burning.
"Not good!" Liang Mao just jumped on the ground.
