Chapter 54: Yazhou City (1)

Luo Shengdong felt relaxed when he came out of the White Tiger Hall, it seemed that his bad luck in this life had probably ended, everything he had done in the past few days had been smooth, and his state couldn't be better. This return not only successfully concealed the fact that he was defeated and captured in Yulin, but also made a great contribution and found a very reasonable excuse for the loss of the ship and his subordinates. not only flattered his boss He Wenhui, won the opportunity for his promotion, but also paved the way for the Haihan people, so that they could have a reasonable and legal identity to appear in Yazhou, this kind of best of both worlds even Luo Shengdong himself did not expect in advance. Now that I think about it, it seems that the first twenty days of hard labor were not so sad.

"I'm so witty!" Luo Shengdong expressed his sincere appreciation for his improvisation.

When Luo Shengdong walked to the school with five personal soldiers, he saw Wei Sanzhu tying up the two deserters outside the gate to prepare to cut off their heads. When the two saw Luo Shengdong, they couldn't help but shout loudly for mercy. If it hadn't happened during this period of time, Luo Shengdong might have taken pity on his heart and pleaded for these two deserters, but now that it is difficult to ride a tiger, either you die or I die, even if Wei Sanzhu doesn't do it, Luo Shengdong will never let go of these two living mouths. Of course, things have evolved to this point, even if no one does it, He Wenhui will not let these two people live again, and it is a great achievement to do a good job, how can they continue to talk nonsense?

Luo Shengdong stopped, pointed at the two of them and said, "You all see clearly, this is the end of chewing the root of your tongue!" The five pro-soldier henchmen around him all understood that Luo Shengdong's words were told to them by killing chickens and monkeys, and they didn't dare to say anything.

The military judge walked up to the kneeling two men with two executioners and read out aloud their charges: "Fourth, military law is the fourth one, complaining a lot, angering the commander, not listening to restraints, and even more difficult to control, this is called building an army, and the offender is beheaded! The eighth part of the military law is a good tongue and sharp teeth, acting in vain, transferring sergeants, and making them discordant, this is called slandering the army, and the offender will be beheaded! The fifteenth military law is to use the wounded and sick to avoid the conquest, and to fake his death by pinching his wounds, so as to evade, this is called a fraudulent army, and the offender will be beheaded!

A soldier came up next to him to untie the bun on the two men's heads, and then pulled their hair and let their heads stick to the large wooden guillotine in front of them, preventing them from continuing to struggle, while exposing their necks so that the executioner could take the knife.

The two executioners stepped forward and slightly gestured the position of their necks with their knives, then raised their ghost head knives and slashed down, and the two pillars of blood rushed their heads out of the way. Luo Shengdong let out a sigh of relief, as soon as these two deserters who knew the inside story died, at least in a short period of time, no one would be able to threaten his safety.

In addition to dealing with these two deserters, Luo Shengdong did not forget to repay the fifteen unlucky ghosts who died in battle under his command, so that the families of these people could get a little pension. As for the more than 30 people who remained in the labor camp of the Crossing People, Luo Shengdong could only wait for the opportunity to arrange the transfer of hard labor, and then proposed to the Crossing Masses to exchange several times the number of hard labor people for those people. With the previous successful cooperation example, Luo Shengdong believes that when the time comes, he will not encounter too many obstacles in proposing a replacement plan.

That night, Luo Shengdong got drunk with a group of familiar sergeants to celebrate this meritorious service. Early the next morning, Luo Shengdong took a few of his men to the dock to drive a sentry boat and quietly sailed out of Yazhou Water Village. Before coming back from this trip, Luo Shengdong had given Tao Donglai a package ticket, and he would definitely try to bring the people who crossed the crowd into Yazhou City. Yesterday, Luo Shengdong had already obtained permission from He Wenhui to arrange for the Haihan envoys who came across the sea to travel into Yazhou City, so as to see the national prestige of our country.

Of course, Luo Shengdong would not rest assured that he would let other people do this reception work, and the consequences of angering these Haihan people, he had seen it with his own eyes and felt it himself. And Luo Shengdong faintly felt that the benefits he could get from the Haihan people were far more than what he was looking for. These Haihan people have such a momentum when they first arrive, and what kind of help can they give themselves over time, Luo Shengdong silently has a sense of expectation.

Last night, the task force set up camp on a seaside sandbar outside the town of Nanshan, less than 10 miles south of Yazhou, and the population density is larger than the few places the team visited yesterday, and there are people living not far from the beach. However, Luo Shengdong had already warned them yesterday, so the action team did not rush to contact the locals, so as not to attract people from the inspection department.

As soon as Luo Shengdong's sentinel boat sailed out of the mouth of the Ningyuan River, Tom Wang, who was on duty, spotted him through the binoculars: "There is a small boat from the north...... Luo Shengdong was on board. ”

Yan Chujie, who was helping others distribute breakfast, put down his work after hearing this, walked to Wang Tom and picked up the binoculars and looked at them for a while, nodded and said, "Since he can come out of the water village today, it means that he should have passed the customs." ”

Sure enough, Luo Shengdong looked proud when he stepped on the "Feisu": "I've seen you! After returning to Shuizhai yesterday, he acted according to the plan in advance, and with those first-level weapons as evidence, no one doubted this. At this time, the battle report of General He of Shuizhai was already on his way to the capital of Qiongzhou, and a reward would be awarded in a few days. ”

"Has our identity problem been solved?" Yan Chujie didn't really care about what Luo Shengdong's personal future would be, he was eager to know if Luo Shengdong had obtained a reasonable and legal condition for the traverser to enter Yazhou City as they had requested in advance.

"What I promised to Chief Tao will naturally do my best. Rest assured, Yazhou Water Village has recognized your identity, and I will accompany you into Yazhou City today. Although Luo Shengdong's tone was humble, he still exuded a sense of pride that could not be concealed.

Yazhou City is located about five miles east of Yazhou Water Village, in the upper reaches of the Ningyuan River, but the appearance of the "Feisu" is too eye-catching, so the team does not plan to sail upstream from the Ningyuan River. In addition, Yazhou Water Village is at the mouth of the Ningyuan River, if there is an unexpected situation, the "Feisu" will easily be blocked in the upstream section of the river and cannot get out, from the perspective of safety, it is safer to go to Yazhou by land.

Yan Chujie left the foreigner Morgan and several members of the military and police department on the boat to be responsible for guarding, and although the female reporter Luo Wudan objected, she was finally retained, because everyone in the company thought that it was a bit risky to take such a girl to Yazhou, and no one dared to guarantee that Luo Wudan, who was free by nature, would not cause something wrong in Yazhou City. Considering that the guns of these people in the military police department are too eye-catching, they all set up canvas guns before departure, so that there will be no trouble carrying them on their backs.

Since the action team decided to take the land route, Luo Shengdong was also happy, left one person to watch the boat, took several other subordinates to abandon the boat and landed, and walked to Yazhou with the action team. Fortunately, Yazhou is only a few miles away, and it takes more than an hour to walk slowly.

This group of people included officers and soldiers from Shuizhai and overseas people in strange costumes, and attracted a lot of onlookers along the way. On the way, he also ran into the people of the Nanshan Inspection Division, and Luo Shengdong took this opportunity to convey the origin of the Haihan people and the meaning of the Shuizhai He Counselor, so that they could openly operate in these places in the future.

Yazhou was only an earthen city before the Song Dynasty, and during the Southern Song Dynasty from the end of the twelfth century to the beginning of the thirteenth century, it began to be gradually rebuilt into a brick and stone city wall, and after four hundred years of reconstruction and expansion, it has become a large fortified city on Hainan Island.

Yazhou city north of Ningyuan River, built east, west, south three gates, the action team from the south to the north, the city gate arrived is the only intact preservation to the future generations of the south gate civilization gate. The city wall of Yazhou city is as high as more than two zhang, and there is a tower built on the arched city gate of ochre red, and the plaque "Civilization Building" is listed on it. There are soldiers patrolling back and forth on the city wall, and there are also sentinels standing on both sides of the city gate to check the people entering the city.

With Luo Shengdong, the high-level leader of the party, the action team did not encounter any trouble when they entered the city. Although the Shuizhai border army and the guards stationed in Yazhou City belong to different jurisdictions, Luo Shengdong is a hundred generals, and he has the warrant of General He of Shuizhai, naturally no one dares to stop this team, but the soldiers on duty at the city gate inevitably take a few more glances at their group.

As soon as they entered the city gate, someone in the procession found something amazing, pointed to the building behind the stone archway and said, "Look, this is the Temple of Confucius!" Someone immediately took out his camera and took a picture of it.

Luo Shengdong said in his heart when he heard this, these Haihan people are really still cultural people, and they first noticed the Confucian Temple before they entered the city, and it seems that Confucius is powerful enough. Luo Shengdong is very familiar with the things outside the city of Yazhou, and immediately changed to a tour guide mode: "Everyone, this is the Yacheng School Palace, which was built in the Northern Song Dynasty, which has Confucius and four statues, twelve philosophers, if you are interested, you can go in and pay respects." ”

Luo Shengdong thought that the surprise of these people was out of reverence for Confucius, but he didn't know that these people were purely tourists, and they just regarded this place as a cultural landscape. As for entering the worship of the sages, these people are even less interested, to put it more strictly, there are not many people in the action team who even know who Luo Shengdong refers to by the "four with twelve philosophers".

Among these members of the action team, the Military Police Department is concerned about the deployment of Yazhou, and in their hearts, they have their own military plans for an armed attack on Yazhou. People in the industrial and agricultural sectors are figuring out what they can buy and sell in this place. Schneider, a big profiteer, wanted to hurry up and see the shops in the city, and making money was what he was most interested in. And the rest of the leading party father and son Yu Dashan and Yu Xiaobao are illiterate at all, let alone have some worship for the "Confucian Temple". Only the unknown Li Ren Fu power, seeing that everyone was shouting, they also became excited, if it weren't for Yu Xiaobao's hand to stop him, this child who came to Yazhou City for the first time would probably have to go in and shop alone.
