Chapter 165: Fishing with a Net
The Feng army had just experienced the battle with the Yi army, the soldiers were more mature, and they were more thorough in carrying out orders, they formed combat squads one by one, patrolling back and forth in the streets, as long as they found knives and guns, they all shot them on the spot, and soon killed more than 200 people, and there were corpses all over the streets.
Deng Hua also saw this kind of scene for the first time, his face was so pale that he almost vomited. Originally, he was still a little suspicious of this young officer Deng Hua, thinking that he couldn't control the situation, but now that he is completely overwhelmed, Zhang Tinglan can definitely be called a black hand.
The mob on the street was almost cleared, and by this time most of the people were already hiding in their homes, not daring to come out at all. Zhang Tinglan finally breathed a sigh of relief, as long as it was not a large-scale gathering at this time, there would be no riots.
Of course, there are also a large number of thugs mixed in the homes of ordinary people, hiding in hidden corners, all that remains is to find them out and destroy them individually.
Zhang Tinglan summoned all the military police and the local security chief, and asked them to be guides to investigate each household. Wherever it is possible to hide, the army is like a grate, combing through the streets.
The chief of the security department all took the roster, and as long as they were not permanent and reliable, they were all driven out and temporarily concentrated in the compound of the middle school.
In the process of cleaning up, a large number of thugs resisted, but to no avail, compared to the efficient army, they were a rabble, even if there were many of them, it was difficult to succeed.
The area of the county town is not large, there are only two horizontal and vertical streets, and it is easy to clean up, and the Zuihou Feng army has concentrated all its forces into a palatial compound. This is the stronghold of the thugs Zuihou, and the county magistrate Deng Hua introduced to Zhang Tinglan: "Commander Zhang, the owner of this courtyard is Bi Shun. The Manchu Qing Dynasty was the one who was the one who was the most active in inciting the people. ”
Most of the time, the common people are blind, and without this kind of leader, there will be no problem, in other words, as long as those who are the leader, everything will be solved.
Zhang Tinglan asked people to shout into the courtyard, so that all the thugs inside surrendered obediently, and these people also knew their sins, how could they go out and die. Bi Shun is the guy who instigated the people to make trouble. He was trembling and terrified to the extreme.
He thought that Xiuyan would have a weak army, and he would be able to occupy the county smoothly with thousands of people, and at that time he was also a great hero in the restoration of the Manchu Dynasty. Since then, the official has been high-ranking and noble, and he has been named his wife and son. For this purpose. It's worth the risk.
However, the truth was far from what he imagined, Zhang Tinglan led the cavalry to stand out and quickly disperse the troublemakers, the situation took a sharp turn for the worse, a large number of thugs were killed, and Bi Shun was at a loss.
A child of the Eight Banners like him is a complete rice bucket. His understanding of war is still in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, thinking that he can sweep the world with the red rabbit horse under his crotch and the green dragon knife in his hand. Restore the splendid Jianghong of the Manchu Qing Dynasty.
But when he really encountered a battle, he completely withered, especially when he saw the Feng cavalry shooting and killing the people who were in trouble, and then waving his saber and killing people like chopping melons and vegetables, he was stupid, and originally wanted to rush out of the city under the protection of a few minions, but the Feng army had blocked the city gate, and they could only retreat to their compound and survive.
At this time, the Feng army surrounded him, Bi Shun's whole person trembled, and at this time, the Feng army outside was already waiting impatiently, and the heavy machine gun spewed out a blazing tongue of fire, shattering the wooden gate, and the thugs guarding nearby were also killed, and then the soldiers were killed.
killed all these dozens of thugs, and in the corner, lifted out Bi Shun, who was trembling, like a chicken, and was thrown down in front of Zhang Tinglan.
Zhang Tinglan kicked Bi Shun's head with his toes: "Say whatever you know, if you dare to hide a word, I promise that you will never want to talk again in your life." ”
Bi Shun was already frightened to the extreme at this time, his face was gray and gray, a layer of cold sweat soaked on his forehead, he knelt down half a step, and cried bitterly and said: "Sir, the little one is an errand runner, everything is done by others, you must not kill me, as long as I am left with a cheap life, I am willing to take out all the family property, please." ”
Looking at Bi Shun, who had a handful of snot and tears, Zhang Tinglan snorted coldly in his nose: "You still want to restore the Manchu Qing Dynasty with your virtue, it's not a dream, although the emperors of the Manchu Qing Dynasty have picked up a bargain, but they have also fought the battlefield, you don't have the luck of your ancestors, and you don't dare to play with your life, and you still dream of Manchukuo, what's the point!" ”
"The chief is so right, the villain knows that he is wrong, it was all Gong Wang Puwei who instigated me to do it, he pulled me into the Zongshe Party, in the first few days, many hungry people poured into Xiuyan, he instigated me to instigate the people to make trouble, attack the county government, I am also a ghost, you just let me go!"
"Don't talk nonsense, where is Pu Wei?"
"The villain really doesn't know, he looked for me once in the first few days, and then said what to call all the righteous people from all walks of life, gather together, and then kill him, it shouldn't be too far, I don't know where the villain is."
Zhang Tinglan couldn't stop laughing in her heart when she heard this, Pu Wei regarded himself as a hero on Liangshan.
"How many of them there are, do you know?"
"He told me that there are tens of thousands of horses, and there are Japanese people who give advice, and he is also ready to attack Mukden!"
Bi Shun is completely boneless, what did Zhang Tinglan ask, what did he say, the bamboo tube poured beans like that, there was nothing to hide, Zhang Tinglan saw that this guy was completely squeezed dry, so he asked his subordinates to escort him down.
"Head Zhang, Bi Shun said that there are still tens of thousands of traitors, even if there is a water head, there should be thousands of people, you have to think of a way!"
Zhang Tinglan's brows also furrowed, this is indeed a big trouble.
"County Magistrate Deng, I only brought three hundred cavalry, and I hurried overnight, and I just fought again, I am very tired, it is impossible to go out of the city to search for Pu Wei, I can only temporarily guard the county seat to prevent traitors from attacking, as long as I wait for reinforcements to come, it will be safe."
Deng Hua also nodded hurriedly and said, "Head Zhang, do you think I can help?" ”
"County Magistrate Deng, our troops are weak, the county is still unstable, and we have to divide a large number of troops to guard this group of hungry people, the energy involved is too great, we have to solve them first."
At this time, the inventory work had been completed, and there were less than 5,000 people living in the county, as well as hungry people from outside, a total of more than 3,000 people, all of whom were people from the surrounding villages, and the harvest was not good.
Zhang Tinglan thought for a while, and asked Deng Hua to gather all the hungry people in front of the houses of Bi Shun and several other Eight Banner nobles.
"Folks, I know that most of you are Manchurian, and I know that you can't live without food, but do you really know where the food has gone? Was it snatched by the Han Chinese, or was it snatched away by the government? The government has long said that the five ethnic groups are republic, the Han, Manchu and Mongolian return to Tibet, all the people are equal, and the Han people also pay taxes and rents like you, I hope you will not listen to the instigation of some people. ”
Saying that, Zhang Tinglan asked the military police to walk into Bi Shun's house with some confused people, they went around to the back, and saw a large row of warehouses, at this time the doors of the warehouses were all opened, and there were bags of two meters inside, piled up like a hill, dense, and there was no end in sight.
Deng Hua stood in front of the warehouse at this time, and said to all the hungry people: "Let's take a look, this is Bishun's granary, he collects rent from you, this year Fengtian has suffered many disasters, food prices have risen, and he hoards Juqi, everyone opens their eyes to see clearly, who does not care whether you live or die, I think the facts are there, needless to say." ”
After these ordinary people saw the food, they were all red-eyed, they were all about to freeze and starve to death, but Bi Shun's family hid so much food. What's even more infuriating is that this guy didn't want to take it out at all, and encouraged them to attack the county government, how many villagers died because of the impact on the county government, and now when I look at this blood debt, it should be counted on Bi Shun's body.
The changes of the common people were seen by Deng Huadu, and he couldn't help but give Zhang Tinglan a thumbs up in his heart, this regiment leader is not very old, but his brain is really flexible.
"Folks, now that Bi Shun and the others have been arrested, I declare that these grains are yours, everyone transport the grain out first, cook porridge and cook, eat something first, and warm up."
What slogans are not as good as food, Deng Hua let these hungry people look at the homes of several Eight Banner nobles in a row, the anger of these people was completely mobilized, what bullshit is full of Han, it sounds good, it's not that Zhumen wine and meat stink, and there are frozen bones on the road, they used to be the masters, and now they also eat and drink spicy food, only their own people are suffering from sin.
When the hot porridge was delivered to everyone, the people's hearts changed completely, not only the hungry, but also many poor and beggars in the county town were also rescued, and these people had a trace of gratitude to the government, and many people took the initiative to help point out the mobs hidden among the people.
Caught a full hundred or so people, and eliminated the hidden dangers of Zuihou, Zhang Tinglan saw that the city was stable, and breathed a sigh of relief, his three hundred cavalry, there was absolutely no problem in concentrating all his strength against thousands of rabble.
Just as he was about to set up a guard, a soldier suddenly ran over.
"Report to the regiment commander, someone came to report that he had encountered bandits in a cottage forty miles away, and asked the officers and soldiers to exterminate them."
Zhang Tinglan didn't have time to deal with this kind of thing, but he heard Bi Shun say that Pu Wei had gathered a lot of bandits, so he was a little suspicious, so he asked the soldiers to bring the young man who reported the news.
As soon as he saw Zhang Tinglan, he said: "Sir, when I met suspicious bandits, they wanted to plunder me up the mountain, and they also said that they wanted me to be the hero of Manchukuo, and I don't know where such a country came from." ”
As soon as Zhang Tinglan heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, maybe Pu Wei's whereabouts were found, and he didn't have to wait passively, on the contrary, he could take the initiative to build a net and catch a big fish. (To be continued......)
