Chapter Eighty-Three: A Insidious Killing Move
There are 519 registered garrisons in Daqing Fort, and with the flight of a large number of military households, the remaining soldiers are only about 300 people, but recently they have gone through three disasters in succession: the Tartars attacked the invaders, Xu Bangyan betrayed the people, and He Guangguang looted and plundered. Many people smuggled and fled, and in the end there were less than 200 soldiers left.
Zhang Ke faced the remaining soldiers and said loudly: "Brothers, do you think 200 soldiers is too little? No! That's a lot! One warrior who can defend his homeland is better than ten, and those who only know how to eat food and be a soldier are useless, even if they are thousands! As the saying goes, if a soldier bears, there will be a nest of bears. The past is no longer investigated, and today is the time to prove your courage, go! Kill these brutes and scum, the hundred people who dare to do it are still Zhang Ke's soldiers, and those who don't dare to do it will go home honestly and live your little life with your mother-in-law, do you understand? β
Zhang Ke's voice clearly reached everyone's ears, and the soldiers of Daqing Fort were all dumbfounded, and it might not be anything to kill people in a mess just now, but now the good people are tied to the stakes.
Even no matter how ruthless a person is, he can't kill like a chicken or a duck, and everyone is silent.
As for those who were tied to the stakes, their faces changed wildly, and they couldn't help crying.
"Adult, don't kill the little one, I have the old and the young, please, let us live, the little one is willing to be a cow and a horse for you......"
More than a hundred captives shouted at the top of their voices, ghosts and wolves, like hell.
Zhang Ke's face was like an ice cube, without a trace of change, in fact, he didn't know that it was very inhumane to kill people like this, but in this troubled world, he had to kill! Kill the enemy so that they don't dare to provoke you, and kill your people to the death!
There are many thorns in the road ahead, and I will fight with knives and guns!
"Don't you dare to do it, then they will all be disbanded, and the re-recruitment of this official will be the same!"
As soon as Zhang Ke finished speaking, suddenly a young man stepped forward.
"My lord, what's so difficult about killing a few miscellaneous pieces, I'll be the first!"
A seventeen or eighteen-year-old man rushed out with a machete, this kid was dressed in a black cloth cotton jacket, black skin, and his movements were vigorous.
Three steps and two steps ran in front of a captive, burst into a shout, the knife flashed, the machete slashed through the right ear, most of the head was cut off, blood and brain splattered, splashing all over the young man's face and chest, the thick bloody gas stimulated him to his stomach for a while, the young man stared at him and held back, turned around and retreated to the side, holding the bloody machete in his hand, his chest was high.
"Good!" Xie Zongqi grinned loudly, the young man who killed was his son. He didn't have much contact with Zhang Ke, but he was also deeply impressed by the energy of this young man. I don't have much ability, I can rise to the top of the town, my son is young, if he can get Zhang Ke's appreciation, maybe he will have a flying sky.
He slapped desperately, and Xie also glanced at his father proudly.
Someone took the lead, and the other soldiers were ruthless, and three or five more people rushed out, selected the prisoners, and started one after another, and for a while blood splattered, and one corpse after another kept falling.
Zhang Ke looked at it quietly, "Go, light a stick of incense, and when the incense is burned, you don't dare to drive it out!" β
His men hurriedly brought an incense burner and placed it in front of all the soldiers. Now it became even more oppressive, and the soldiers rushed out, waving the weapons in their hands, and constantly harvesting lives.
The heart-rending shouts and the splashing of blood made it seem like hell, and the people around them were terrified. Although they were relieved, they couldn't help but pace backwards.
Just at the back of the crowd, there was a young beggar dressed in tattered linen and unkempt hair, secretly looking inside.
"Uncle and uncle, what's the benefit of these people getting bloody?"
The old man who was looking with his neck stretched out touched his red nose and said with a smile: "If you are a soldier for others, you won't starve to death at most!" But I heard that our Lord Beiyu has the ability, those soldiers in Hewan Village can eat meat every day, don't you see, those military masters around are them! Wow, all of them look like calves! β
"There's meat to eat!"
The beggar's eyes shone with a thief's light, when was the last time he ate meat? Almost half a year ago, he killed a wild dog with a few beggars, and he desperately grabbed a hind leg, and he will never forget that taste in his life!
Be a soldier, eat meat, eat meat, be a soldier!
The beggar's blood was boiling, but seeing that the soldiers were rushing forward more and more, and the remaining prisoners were getting fewer and fewer, there was no chance at all, and the beggar was so anxious that he scratched his ears and cheeks, jumping up and down.
A stick of incense burned to the end, and there were no more than ten prisoners left, and the walls were full of stumps and broken legs, and blood flowed like a river. Some of the captives had simply been frightened to death, when a veteran soldier in his early thirties stabbed the captives in the chest with a knife.
The captive was so strong that one of his swords was only more than two inches deep and broke, and the sturdy captive struggled desperately to pull out the stake. He was wounded, his hands were still tied, and he ran out crookedly. The people who watched the excitement around were all frightened and fled.
At this moment, the beggar's eyes lit up, and the opportunity he had dreamed of finally came. He spread his legs and rushed forward like never before.
Bang!
The huge captive was knocked down, and the beggar was ejected more than a foot away, and he did not care about the pain, got up from the ground, pounced on the captive, stretched out his hands, and ran to the captive's neck.
The big man was tied with his hands, so he could only twist his neck desperately, staring at the beggar with a pair of scarlet eyes, but the beggar was even crazier than him, and his hands were tightly clasped, so that the big man's face was bruised!
"I'm going to kill, I'm going to be a soldier, I'm going to eat meat!"
The beggar roared frantically, and the people on the side were dumbfounded.
At this moment, a stick of incense burned out, and Zhang Ke shouted loudly: "It's time, stop killing!" β
When these words came out, the big man under the beggar stuck out his tongue, and before he could breathe, the beggar's eyes were red with anxiety.
"Lao Tzu wants to be a soldier, you give me death!"
He bit down on the big man's neck, and the stinking warm blood burst out between his teeth, and the beggar's mouth was full of terrible red!
The people around him all stared at the beggar as if they were madmen.
In the time of one stick of incense, one hundred and seven captives were killed, which marked the selection of one hundred and seven people and became Zhang Ke's soldiers.
The only thing special is the beggar, and everyone doesn't know what to do with him.
Zhang Ke strode behind him, and the kid was still desperately biting the big man's neck.
"Let go, this officer wants bloody soldiers, not ghouls!"
Hearing Zhang Ke's words, the beggar rolled off the big man, and spit out a few brittle bones from one mouth.
"Did the big, big, small, small ones pass? Can you eat meat as a soldier? β
"Hmm!" Zhang Ke smiled slightly: "Qiao Fu, you take him to wash it, this kid is ruthless, it is worth training!" β
"Yes!"
Although the selection of soldiers is over, it has carved a deep thread in the hearts of every people in Daqing Fort! Zhang Ke is ruthless and makes people shudder. But if it weren't for him, I'm afraid they would be robbed and killed by people like He Guangguang!
Turning his head, Zhang Ke even announced that he would take out 3,000 taels to compensate for the losses of the people, two taels of silver for each family in the city, five taels of silver for each soldier selected by TongguΓ², and the silver for Bai Huahua was in his hands, and the last doubts in everyone's hearts were also dissipated, and only Zhang Ke was left to listen to Zhang Ke's words.
Daqing Fort and Hewan Village are all monolithic, and Zhang Ke can be regarded as having a little foundation, and he can rest assured that he will take the old lady back to Daqing Fort.
When Shen saw Zhang Feng, the mother hugged her head and cried, although she was not her own flesh and blood, but Shen had always treated everyone equally, and they suffered together, which was closer than her own son.
The family was finally reunited, and Qiao Tieshan laughed even more when he saw that his two nephews were fine.
"The eldest nephew is safe and sound, and the second nephew has been promoted to prepare for the imperial period, plus the New Year, this is the three joys! Sister-in-law, I think it's time to celebrate! β
Shen also nodded frequently: "Brother Tieshan is right, don't let our family be happy." Ke'er, take more silver, sell dozens of pigs and sheep, and every household will share some meat, so that the big guy can have a good year! β
Shen gave orders, Zhang Ke hurriedly agreed, and these brothers under his command all moved, ran to ten miles and eight towns, and even to Yizhou, and wantonly bought fat pigs, just like a tyrant.
Just when everyone was jubilant, Zhang Ke's heart did not let go, and he sat in the study all day.
"Second brother, are you still worried about the lawsuit?" Zhang Feng couldn't help but ask.
"Yes, big brother, although our evidence is conclusive, but the other party has annihilated the evidence, what will be the final result, it depends on the meaning of the capital, the will has not come down for a day, it can't be said to win!"
Zhang Feng could only pat the second brother on the shoulder, and the brothers sat relatively stuffy, although the taste of waiting was uncomfortable, but they had to endure it!
β¦β¦
"Godfather, Lord Hong is here!"
While Xiao Youzi was speaking, Hong Shiki was already out of breath and ran to the study sweating profusely. Zhang Ye was holding a Diamond Sutra in his hand and chanting.
"Grandpa Zhang, why do you still have such idleness, it's a big deal!"
Zhang Ye hurriedly put down the scriptures and couldn't help asking, "Lord Hong, what's the matter?" β
Hong Shiyi said with a pale face: "We were tricked by the Zhu family, and the convoy escorted by Zhu Jinhai is for the palace!" β
"What?" Zhang Ye's eyes widened suddenly: "Lord Hong, didn't Zhang Feng say that it was installed with scrap iron, how did it become an errand for the palace?" β
Hong Fu also beat his chest, and said regretfully: "I have arrested the two accounts of the Zhu family in the past two days, checked the accounts, and now they want to send a batch of furs and Dongzhu to the palace, make clothes for the saints, and make decorations for the ladies." β
Zhang Ye frowned, "What does this have to do with scrap iron?" β
"My father-in-law Zhang, the relationship is big, these things have to be bought from Jiannu, and the Zhu family uses scrap iron to exchange fur for Dongzhu!"
"Ahh
When Zhang Ye heard this, he was immediately paralyzed in fright, and it was cold from the inside out.
"The soul is faint, they don't know that doing this will insult the saints, they are all crazy! Damn it! Zhang Ye screamed hysterically.
