Chapter 17 Give Faith to the Peasants

The middle of the trail is a bit narrow, and although most of the reef is close to the sea, it is still underwater and the conductor cannot walk.

In order to complete the task, Liu Zhi could only bury the line in the middle.

Only the middle is the highest, and he doesn't worry about flooding at high tide, unless it's extremely bad weather, then he also admits it.

Due to the narrow land and many people, it is impossible to put them together, so Liu Zhi divided the people into two groups and constructed from the two ends to the middle.

The tool is a steel pipe like a spear, and the lower head is a solid gun head, and the gun head has footsteps on both sides to facilitate the use of strength.

Because there are his own people sentry near the old base camp, Liu Zhi's working environment is still safe, and in order to ensure quality, the progress of the project is a bit slow.

The sun rises so high that even in November, the temperature here still hovers around the teens of degrees.

They hurried to the site of the base camp and finally came to the old base camp.

The Sentinel knew them, and in order not to expose himself, he let them go north.

"Translator Liu, what are you?"

Chai Yi couldn't understand what Liu Zhi was doing, so he asked curiously, after all, as a link of communication between the two sides, Liu Zhi is still very important in the eyes of the peasants.

Liu Zhi naturally wouldn't tell him the truth, "If we want to build the road, we have to repair the roadbed first." ”

Chai Yi thought so, then remembered what was going on, and asked, "Why did you evacuate suddenly, why didn't you say anything in advance?"

It's a pretense of confusion.

Liu Zhidao: "You came just in time, and you hurried to the island before the invaders arrived, and they will give you an explanation." ”

Although Liu Zhi knows a lot, he is not a diplomat, and prudence in words and deeds is the minimum quality of every special soldier, which he knew on the first day he came to Jaws.

Chai Yi originally wanted to probe the wind, so as to get some chips in the next exchange, but since people didn't say it, he could only rush to the big island.

Chai Rong's complexion is much better, and the mascot can still be so calm at this time, which means that this is a strategic retreat, not cowardice before fighting, which is consistent with what the patriarch said.

A quarter of an hour later, the group arrived at the foot of the island.

"This shouldn't have been built in just two days, right?"

Chai Rong looked at the majestic city walls and the black hole barrels, smashed his lips, and muttered to himself.

The city wall in front of him was much grander than the base camp in the south, about three zhang high, the thickness is not yet known, and the wall is designed with battlements, reserved for shooting holes and shelling holes.

In fact, not only that, Liu Liu also adopted the defensive design of Dongshan Pass, except for leaving a lighting hole, the top of the city wall was all closed.

That is, the walls were sealed.

It's like fighting in a secret tunnel, unless their cannonball can drill through the hole and attack the mascot in the corridor.

This project is huge, but due to the small area of defense, the left and right sides are only more than 1,000 meters full.

In this regard, it is still taking into account that the enemy may step on the shallow reef and attack in a roundabout way, and expand the defensive area in the rear.

According to Liu Liu, a defensive wall of 500 meters is enough.

But Wang Zhi was not at ease, and insisted on expanding to a thousand meters, so it became what it is today.

"Don't be in a daze, hurry inside. ”

Chai Yi spoke, so the group registered at the gate of the city, and under the leadership of the guards, headed towards the compound of the provisional government.

Shenlong Island is surrounded by sandy beaches, tidal flats and low jungles, which have now been cultivated into a road around the island.

It's a bit inappropriate to say that it's a roundabout avenue, because it's only half built, and there is a cliff on the other side of Kitazuki Island.

Along both sides of the road, there are all kinds of buildings, mostly wooden, and the masonry structures often occupy a large area, according to Chaiyi's understanding of the mascot, these should belong to government agencies, and private individuals will never use this strategic material.

At the beginning, their peasant clan was also very rare in this way of construction, and wanted to exchange some cement from the mascot, but the mascot refused without hesitation, and there was no room for turn.

"Don't look around, remember, don't ask what you shouldn't ask, don't say what you shouldn't say. Chai Yi told everyone.

The most important thing is to tell Chai Feng to keep his mouth shut, and not to poke out that he is a traitor, otherwise I don't know what the mascot will think of them.

In Chai Yi's eyes, Chai Feng was a traitor because he was inclined to invaders in the first place.

The mascot does not wait to see a traitor, for the development of his own race, he is not willing to fight with the auspicious, this is the last bargaining chip, if he loses it, the peasant clan will really be finished.

Chai Feng ignored Chai Yi's hint, "There's no need for guns and sticks, since I'm here, I won't stand on the opposite side of you." ”

This made Chai Yi and Chai Rong unexpected, first reported to the mascot, and now they have such an attitude, could it be that they have changed their sex?

Despite their confusion, the two did not express their doubts, as long as the mascot could give them enough confidence, none of this mattered.

After a while, they came to the wall of a brick courtyard, and after the guards went in to report, they disarmed their weapons, and the three of them entered the main hall.

"Commissioner Wang, it's been a long time. ”

"Chief Chai, everything is fine. ”

The two used auspicious words, which is not difficult to understand.

To put it bluntly, auspicious words and indigenous languages, like the difference between Mandarin and dialects, have found a pattern, and it is natural and convenient to communicate.

Chai Yi is auspicious again, and he works hard at both ends, and this road will naturally pass quickly.

At the beginning, Liu Zhi found that Chai Yi's pronunciation was closer to auspiciousness, and he doubted his origin.

After a polite exchange, they both entered the inner room.

Without outsiders, Chai Yi has something to say, and he can't afford it.

"You're just leaving quietly, what are we going to do?" Chai Yi asked.

Chai Rong stared at Wang Zhi expectantly, he was a staunch reformer and advocated attachment to auspiciousness.

Even Chai Feng had a concerned expression.

"Where is this, don't worry about it, Chief Chai, and listen to me in detail. ”

Wang Zhi understood the other party's intentions, so he paid great attention to the tone and scale of his speech, and tried to be as concise as possible.

"The enemy is strong, we are weak, the so-called heroes do not suffer immediate losses, this is more conducive to our defense, you should have seen it when you came, what I said is true. ”

After a pause, seeing that the other party had no doubts, Wang Zhi continued to explain.

"We auspicious at first was just a small wasteland, to get to this point, is by countless mascots throwing their heads and spilling blood in exchange, is thousands of auspicious men with life and blood to win, we are not afraid of death, not afraid of bloodshed, but afraid of tears. ”

Wang Zhi's words won the empathy of Chai Yi and others.

At the beginning, the two young men of the peasant clan went with the boat, but they were not to play in the mountains and rivers, and the auspicious old bottom naturally touched it again, and it was not far from ten.

"Which war were we not forced to fight, which time we did not fight the weak against the strong, and which time did we not win the final victory?"

asked three questions in a row, but it aroused Chai Rong's bloodiness, and he secretly applauded.

If it weren't for the patriarch's words, he wouldn't be allowed to speak casually, and he would have shouted out.

This is the history of auspicious fortune, as long as you go to auspicious once, you will naturally know, and you can't fake it.

"We never take the initiative to provoke trouble, but if someone takes the initiative to provoke us, we will not be afraid of it, and we will add a strong stroke to the auspicious history in the future, where we defeated the powerful invaders, liberated the local people, and allowed them to live a free and comfortable life......"

When Wang Zhi talked about sexuality, inspiration burst out, and he had the potential of Wang Xuan's teacher training at the beginning, and he was out of control.

Where have the natives seen this kind of battle, they were bluffed and stunned, and they unconsciously fell into the trap.

In short, one conclusion is drawn, mascot, cow!

After a lot, Wang Zhi asked the three of them, "But what are you dissatisfied with?"

What's the grievance?

"Commissar Wang, the invaders came to attack, someone betrayed you, according to our Great Elder, it was the Youzu people. ”

The point was over, and Chai Yi waited for Wang Zhi's reply.

"We have come here to do nothing to the locals and to open up trade, which is beneficial to both sides, and our intention is to benefit each other. ”

There is nothing wrong with this, and the reality is true, the mascot did not take it by force with the strength of the ship and the gun.

No one can deny that everyone takes what they need and benefits together.

"Since someone betrayed us, it is the enemy, the mascot does not cause trouble, but he is never afraid of things, we will find out the merits, and then there will be revenge, revenge, and the peasants will stand on our side, right?"

Gotcha, the ball is back.

Chai Yi felt bitter in his heart, if he didn't stand on the side of auspiciousness, which side could he stand on, isn't it obvious.

Besides, the other nine tribes all have reasons to divide the boundary with auspiciousness, but the peasant tribe does not.

This is forcing Liangshan.

"The committee member said with a smile, we are on the auspicious side, so I am eager to know your plans, after all, we are weak and afraid of ......."

"Afraid that the intruder will be bad for you?"

Wang Zhi took over the conversation and directly said the hidden pain in Chai Yi's heart, which made him a little embarrassed.

"Relieved, your safety does not depend on you, but on us. ”

Wang Zhi's words made several people different, and some did not understand.

Even Chai Rong wanted to refute a few words.

This is not a good word, this is an insult to the peasant family, even if it is said by the mascot.

"How?" Chai Yi asked, anger already in his words.

He didn't think it was a mascot putting gold on their faces, because there was no need for that, but it was so naked, as the patriarch, he had to come out.

"Patriarch Chai, how would you feel if you were slapped in the face?" Wang Zhi said.

This can be seen as a provocation, insulting the patriarch of the clan in public.

Chai Rong's face was already full of anger, although he longed for the life of a mascot, but he couldn't be so naked, isn't it good to save some face?

"It hurts, my face must hurt. Chai Yi replied honestly, as if it wasn't his face.

"Yes, it hurts, so if someone stabs you again, will you still feel pain in your face?"

"This ......"

Not only Chai Yi was stunned, but even Chai Rong and Chai Feng fell into deep thought.

After another stab, do you still feel pain in your face?

At that time, shouldn't it be more painful at the stabbing site?

"Hehe, that's why the intruders won't attack you. ”

After thinking for a while, the three members of the peasant clan figured out what was going on, and they were suddenly ashamed.

"You must have something else to do. ”

"Yes, this is Chai Feng, the first elder of my clan, according to him, the warning you received was sent by him. ”

Chai Yi thinks that there is no need to hide it, it is better to go straight, and now it is this time, and time is pressing.

And mascots have always done this, not brain-burning.

"Oh?"

Wang Zhi was surprised.

If it weren't for that whistleblower letter, the defense of Shenlong Island would not have been completed so quickly, and this person would have contributed a great favor.

"Does the letter say that the invaders have arrived a hundred miles away and are going to launch a surprise attack on Jixiang?"

"Yes. ”

"Does the letter say that there are more than 20,000 invaders, which is half of the number of defenders on this continent?"

"Yes. ”

"Did the letter also say that someone poked out all your information and sold it to the intruders?"

"Yes. ”

With the questions and answers of Chai Feng and Wang Zhi, Chai Yi finally breathed a sigh of relief, Chai Feng is not bad, but the lard is blinded for a while, it's good to come back, it's good to come back!

Chai Rong also looked incredulous, he had only heard of good people becoming bad, but he had rarely heard of examples of bad people becoming good.

There was a living example in front of him, which made him hesitate.

After Chai Feng finished asking, he turned his gaze to Chai Yi, as if he was asking for credit, and as if he was mocking: Look, what Lao Tzu said is true.

Chai Yi nodded, which was an affirmation of him and an apology for doubting him.

"Commissar Wang, we want to send a group of people to the big island, not afraid of 10,000, just in case!"

Chai Yi's words are very helpless, but they are also very realistic.

"Okay, how many people?" Wang Zhi also simply, the peasant clan is Jixiang's most determined ally, if not for anything else, but for the population, he will agree.

"Not much, all children and women, about 10,000. ”

Chai Yi's expression became more and more bitter.

The peasant clan has no choice, just like the original auspiciousness, no matter how the external situation develops, if auspicious fails, the peasant clan will be destroyed, this is a single choice question.

This is a decision of last resort, and it is also a vote of loyalty from the peasants to auspiciousness, and it is a completely gambling decision.

Chai Yi, Chai Rong and even Chai Feng all know what this move represents.

Once the invaders learned of this information, the rest of the peasants could not escape their fate.

Wang Zhi was also shocked by the other party's request, "It's not like this." ”

More than 10,000 people, I'm afraid this food is not enough.

"Take precautions, we are a family from now on, if possible, bring their clever children back to auspiciousness, we don't ask for anything, we just hope that they can live well, pass on our incense. ”

Having said this, Wang Zhi has nothing to say.

Succession, this reason is enough.

Now the auspicious up and down for His Majesty's incense, but it is not light.

Subsequently, the two sides discussed many details of the issue.

Grain, the peasants give it away for free.

The auspicious goods, the peasants also picked some, and bet that the invaders would not like the relationship between the two of them, which can also be regarded as a bargaining chip for bribery.

If the auspiciousness is kept, the peasants will live.

If auspiciousness fails, the peasants should also die.

It wasn't until the evening that they returned to the clan exhausted.

"Why did you abandon the darkness and turn to the light?" Chai Yi asked Chai Feng.

"I don't want my daughter to be ruined by them. ”

Chai Yi: "......"
