Ouyang Jun's business is actually to take people out of Hangzhou City.

As a result of the impact of commodities from the north, a large number of individuals in the small-scale peasant economy in Jiangnan went bankrupt. Many peasant families make a living by planting mulberry and raising silkworms, spinning and weaving. Now the raw silk business can still be done, but the cloth business really can't be done. The cloth merchants in the Songjiang area have suffered heavy losses, and the low-level people can't hold on.

Usury is rife in Jiangnan, and if the peasants' funds are broken, they will immediately fall into the abyss. If the number of bankrupts is small, it would be fine, but now there are almost all the bankrupt farmers. The gentry were unaware of this, or at least did not care. But the 'revolutionary army' had long anticipated this.

Breaking up the subsistence small-scale peasant economy is a necessary path for industrialized societies, but the pain is also enormous. Selling children and daughters and even hanging their families began to appear on a large scale in Jiangnan. As for the ...... escape, the usurious gentry would not allow the bankrupt peasants to flee easily.

It was in this context that someone looked for Ouyang Jun and asked him to help bring out some people from Hangzhou City. As long as you send people to the dock, they will naturally pay - this matter seems simple, but Ouyang Jun smells a vision. In these years, there is only one force willing to spend money to take care of the poor people.

"Regardless of men, women and children, as long as they send people to the wharf of Hangzhou Bay, one is a five-jiao silver dollar." Ouyang Jun felt that it was a little unsafe for him to do this alone, so he came to pull Luo Lie again. After all, he can only run, and he has to fight with Luo Lie.

"One is a pentagon?" Luo Lie felt that this business was too profitable, "Could it be that women and dolls are also five corners?" ”

"That's what the people who looked for me said, and they even paid a deposit." Ouyang Jun easily moved Luo Lie, and the two of them ran around inside and outside the city with their own people. In one day, they found hundreds of old and weak women and children, and they went out of the city.

When leaving the city, sure enough, some local gentry came out to stop them, and these people were like wolves and tigers who insisted on arresting the fleeing farmers, but they were beaten violently by Luo Lie and killed. The snake fled in disgrace.

The crowd was led to a remote riverbank wharf, and the person in charge of receiving them also prepared some meals because of the humble simplicity. Most of the people who fled were silent, and they ate silently after receiving their meals. There were a few cries occasionally, and they were also children in their mother's arms.

The person who answered really nodded and paid, and happily paid the bill with one or two hundred silver dollars. Ouyang Jun divided the money with Luo Lie, and asked the person who responded, "How are you going to take these people away?" ”

"There will be a boat." The person who answered was an old man, with his back bent, not very agile, and even slurred, "The commander will send a boat to pick us up." Dashuai is a good person, and he is reluctant to see the people suffer. His ship will definitely come. ”

Ouyang Jun and Luo Lie glanced at each other, knowing that they had guessed correctly. Ouyang Jun asked again: "Old man, you are so old, why do you want to take this risk?" Even if you want to make this money, can't you let your children and grandchildren come? ”

The rickety old man is dizzy, and he has a life of 'half buried in the soil'. In response to Ouyang Jun's questioning, he shook his head and said, "I'm not for money, and I don't have any children and grandchildren, I'm doing this for morality." Righteousness goes, although tens of millions of people go to me. The old man spoke with indignation, and after speaking, he busied himself with taking care of the fleeing.

It was getting dark, the temperature was plummeting, and the docks in the wilderness were getting cold.

Ouyang Jun and Luo Lie agreed with the rickety old man to bring someone back tomorrow, so they led their men to leave. But on the way back to the city, they encountered thousands of officials and gentry with torches and hounds. The other party was outnumbered, bluffing both of them into dodging. They watched as the gentry and gentlemen with knives and guns shouted and cursed towards the ferry they had just left.

"What should I do?" Ouyang Jun wanted to say, 'Anyway, the money is already in hand, and the rest has nothing to do with him', but he couldn't say it. Based on his understanding of the gentry, these family members are extremely cruel. During the day, they had been cleaned up by Luo Lie, and now they must be eager to retaliate. The hundreds of old and weak women and children on the other side of the ferry are afraid that they will be more auspicious, and even all of them will die.

Alas, Luo Lie sighed and stomped his feet, "There are still women and dolls on the other side ......of the ferry. I brought them out, and I could not watch them die. I'm going to kill these family leaders, and it's also a matter of righteousness. ”

Luo Lie turned around and left, and the soldiers behind him who had been trained to the point of bitterness also followed. Ouyang Jun scratched his head in distress, turned his head to look at his subordinates who were hiding on the side of the road with him, and asked, "What do you say?" ”

Most of Ouyang Jun's subordinates were slippery, looking left and right without saying a word. He could only stomp his feet and say, "Alas, I can't count on you. You're all gone, I'll help. If Luo Lie's fool is rude, he is afraid that he will make things bigger. I've known him for so long, and I'm looking for today's thing, so I can only have the same difficulties. ”

Ouyang Jun also left, leaving only his hundred-dozen men. Among these people, some left silently, some were in a daze, and some were chasing the direction Ouyang Jun left.

By the time Ouyang Jun returned to the ferry pier just now, it was already completely dark. Hundreds of torches were lit in the darkness, people were drinking and dogs barking, and the scene was chaotic. He saw Luo Lie hiding in the dark and hadn't made a move, but when he took a few steps forward, he heard a shouting and scolding from the direction of the dock: "Old man, I am already a ruined family, all thanks to you thieves." I will die with you today! ”

The old voice sounded like that of a rickety old man who had just received the money, and the gentry who had already surrounded the dock retreated in panic amid his angry voice. This was followed by a violent explosion, and the air flow surged, and a large area of the torches in front of it was extinguished. The officials and gentry who were still menacing just now were killed by the explosion.

"Who the hell is this old man?" Ouyang Jun rushed to Luo Lie's side, and when he heard the explosion, he asked in surprise, "Why is he so strong?" This person who does not seek fame or profit would rather be crushed than give in and beg for mercy. ”

"You don't know, and I don't know." Luo Lie sighed: "Maybe it's just a nameless person." Alas...... I also have the word 'Lie' in my name, and I think I am strong and strong, but in fact it is not as strong as the old man. ”

The direction of the wharf was still crowded, and the officials and gentry who had been bombed fled for a while, but they surrounded it again under the command of the person in charge. On the other side of the wharf, there were weeping and wailing, and countless old and weak women and children were forced to step into the icy water. Under the crowding, some people have been washed away by the river.

Luo Lie was about to attack and kill, but there was a sudden engine sound on the river. In the dark night, a boat was approaching quickly on the river, and someone was shouting: "Guards, go down and save people." ”

I heard the sound of rushing into the water on the river, and about twenty or thirty people took the initiative to jump into the water from the boat. The officials and gentry on the riverbank had just been bombed, and they were in a hurry to push all these fleeing old and weak women and children into the river and drown, but when they heard the shouts on the river, they were all stunned.

After a while, soldiers with muskets on their backs and rescuing people ashore appeared in the river. They were drenched in water, there were not many of them, and their weapons could not be used. But as soon as they saw the situation on the shore, someone immediately shouted: "Guards, forward!" Get on the bayonet and stab these bastards to death. ”

There were only three or four soldiers ashore, but the sound of their bayonets drawn was uniform and crisp. Obviously facing dozens or hundreds of enemies, but it is like a tiger pounced on the wolves, without fear - the cold winter wax moon, the river water is biting. But the drenched men untied the muskets they were carrying, inserted their bayonets into the booths, and immediately pounced on them with a scream.

Even if something happened suddenly, these soldiers also showed high combat skills. Although the musket with bayonets in their hands was only about one meter five or six in length, they were not at all afraid of the spears of the family that were generally more than three meters on the opposite side.

Those officials and gentry watched their opponents rush ashore, and immediately retreated in a crowded manner, not daring to easily touch the edge of the strong enemy. It was the brave and fearless momentum of the guards that made Luo Lie very excited, and he shouted loudly: "That's it, that's it, Lao Tzu just wants to train such a strong soldier." Wow, yes, yes......, Lao Tzu can't stand it. Sons, follow me to fight for a while. ”

Eh, ......, Ouyang Jun shouted several times in a row but couldn't stop his friend, so he could only watch him take a hundred people to kill those officials and gentry. There are many people in those families, but they are all crowded together, and the level of the people who command them is not high, and they will only order a swarm of people. This back and forth attack made them think that they had encountered an ambush and fried the pot.

The ability to tolerate casualties in rural armed fighting is extremely weak. And these officials and gentry in front of them are actually dogs raised by rich people, and their combat effectiveness is not even five. There was no tenacity at all under the panic, and the morale melted away like melting snow in an instant, and the defeat was like a mountain.

Luo Lie was killing hard, and he just hid behind to identify the leader of this gang. As soon as he made a move, he directly killed the enemy leader. This chaotic battle came and went quickly, and it didn't take a few efforts to stop. Not many people died at the scene, and a large number of officials and gentry fled their families. However, the guards who went ashore were baffled by him.

"Which part of you are?"

Waiting for the battle to end, the guards who came ashore stood up for a platoon commander. His inquiry made Luo Lie stunned, and Ouyang Jun could only come up and explain, saying that he had received a group of refugees in the city and transported them here under the response of an old man here. But he didn't want to be discovered by the gentry in the city, so the battle just now took place.

And the old man who originally presided over this matter has died a heroic martyrdom.

There are also some old men's subordinates at the ferry terminal, and the old and weak women and children who were picked up confirm this matter. Ouyang Jun didn't mention the reason why he was for money, he felt that he could leave after he made things clear. But I don't want to......

"You are fighting behind enemy lines, and it is really hard. We are also very saddened by the sacrifice of Comrade Hu in the Hangzhou Revolutionary Zone. But our business will not stop there. What's your name? I'm going to report this matter, and the General Staff will definitely give you credit.

We still have a task to send these refugees away, so we can't stay and help you. Since you are Lao Hu's people, we can also trust you. It seems that you are developing well, and you have a lot of people. We've just sent a batch of weapons this time, so I'll give them to you to receive. ”

The platoon commander of the guards also shook hands with Ouyang Jun and Luo Lie and saluted. A steamship had already docked, and the men on board brought boxes and boxes of weapons and ammunition ashore. The old and weak women and children on the shore quickly boarded the boat and left quickly.

Before leaving, the commander of the guards platoon waved to the shore and shouted: "Comrades, do not be discouraged, do not be afraid of sacrifice. You have to keep it up. We will soon liberate all of China. ”

Waiting for the steamship to leave, there was nothing but corpses on the dock, and there were piles of wooden crates of weapons. Ouyang Jun and Luo Lie, who were surrounded by one or two hundred men, were already stupid. After a long time, Ouyang Jun stabbed Luo Lie and said, "The one who was killed by you just made a move seems to be the prefect of Hangzhou." ”

"Ah......h Luo Lie jumped up.
