Chapter 39: The Sad Song of the 72nd Brigade
In the case of global mutation, the situation of the 72 Brigade is becoming more and more embarrassing, in the past, his two independent regiments were the existence worshiped by the people of the whole country, and even the other armies of the Qianghan State were envious, and their combat effectiveness was mythologized by a generation, almost reaching the peak that was difficult for mankind to achieve.
However, after the global mutation, the envy in the eyes of many soldiers immediately turned into ridicule, no matter how strong you are, Lao Tzu will evolve once and beat you every minute.
The 72 Brigade, which was in an awkward position, could only prove itself by taking on more perverted missions, with very heavy casualties.
After returning from the desert, the 72nd Brigade recuperated for a short time, and then received another mission to go to the Yunnan-Tibet Plateau to investigate a mysterious murder of a large number of yaks.
This is a tricky task that all the troops stationed in the Northwest Military Region are reluctant to take on, because it involves religious legends and complex local political relations that make the incident extremely difficult to deal with.
Yin Guangzhou, commander of the Capital Military Region, personally found Zheng Weiguo and explained the actual situation to him very frankly.
The reason for the incident is this, in a certain county of the Yunnan-Tibet Plateau, there is a herdsman who raises thousands of yaks, and the global mutation event has not affected him, but has brought him huge economic benefits, because the size of the yak has also become larger, coupled with the crazy growth of a large number of wild grasses, so that there is inexhaustible forage on the ground, and his grazing work is much easier.
But one day, when the herdsman woke up in the morning, he found that he had killed a dozen yaks, all of them by some large, ferocious beast.
At first, the herdsman didn't care, after all, there are actually a lot of fierce beasts on the plateau, especially wild wolves, which often come to harass his yaks, and the golden eagles in the sky will also hunt smaller yaks.
But for several days after that, his yak continued to be bitten to death, which made him unable to sit still, he secretly installed a camera in the corral, and then watched all night, and finally found the murderer, which turned out to be a clouded leopard.
The clouded leopard has a very mysterious legend in the local area, which has been passed down from generation to generation by herders, and the clouded leopard is the messenger of the gods, and they travel time to punish those who have committed crimes.
After the news spread, there was an uproar in the local area, and many people said that the herdsman must have secretly done something unconscionable, so the clouded leopard came to punish him.
Of course, legends are legends, and no one really came to accuse the herdsman, and everyone just talked about it in private.
However, what happened next made the county completely blow up.
The herdsman also keeps five Tibetan mastiffs, which he usually uses to help him with his herding.
The locals are more rustic, including the herdsman, who is worried that the Tibetan mastiff will hurt people, even if it is a thief who steals his yak (if there is one), he does not want to hurt them, so at night, there is no protection in the cattle pen, including the Tibetan mastiff is also resting in the room with the owner.
That night, the herdsman was so upset that he put all five of his Tibetan mastiffs into the cattle pen, hoping that the Tibetan mastiffs would scare the clouded leopards away.
In the middle of the night, the terrible barking of cats and dogs came from the cattle pen, and the barking continued for most of the night, and the sound spread to two or three villages.
The herdsman was so frightened that he did not sleep all night, but kept burning incense and praying in his room for forgiveness.
By the early morning of the second day, when he opened the door and came out, many of his neighbors had come out of his cattle pen faster than he did.
When they waited for him to open the fence of the bullpen, they saw the bloody scene that made them gasp.
Five Tibetan mastiffs dealt with two clouded leopards, one Tibetan mastiff was seriously injured, the other four Tibetan mastiffs were slightly injured, and both clouded leopards all died, the death was extremely miserable, intestines and internal organs were sprinkled all over the ground, and blood flowed into rivers.
The death of the two clouded leopards has completely changed from the previous gossip to a religious event, and a large number of people poured into the door of this herdsman's house, and everyone agreed that the owner of the yak was the reincarnation of a demon, and wanted to lynch him.
Naturally, the herdsman could not sit still, so he ordered his Tibetan mastiff to attack anyone who dared to break into his house, and many were caught off guard and bitten.
The local police station rushed to deal with it, shot and killed a wounded Tibetan mastiff, but did not expect to cause a greater disaster, the herdsman's thousands of yaks all rioted, and did not even need the owner's instructions, so they took the initiative to join the Tibetan mastiff's team and began to drive the crowd, several people were trampled by the yak to death.
The horror of the mutant yak army is no less than that of the army, and the local police department has no choice but to turn to the Northwest Military Region for help.
While the fighters of the Northwest Military District had not yet arrived, another big event happened at the doorstep of the herdsmen.
Without any human command, the yak herd surrounded the herdsmen's homes three floors inside and outside three floors, and no one was allowed to approach the herdsmen, so spontaneously defending their owners was also considered a miracle by some religious believers.
So a religious person came to investigate, and he didn't believe the statement that the clouded leopard punished the evil people in the world on behalf of God, and the result of his investigation was that the herdsman was not guilty.
In the person-in-charge's view, the herdsman's only crime was to set the dog and hurt people, but he was also very controlling, and the injured person was only slightly injured, and the other party forced it too much, and the Tibetan mastiff launched a defensive attack.
As for the mutant yak trampling, it was not the herdsman's intention, and the Tibetan mastiff was killed, which became the fuse of the yak herd's anger, and he had done his best to restrain the yaks at the scene.
This was originally a conflict between a certain person and a group of people, but because of the words of the person in charge, it led to a conflict between two groups of religious people with different ideas, and the conflict escalated again.
The Northwest Military District thought it was just a small-scale clash of personnel, so they only sent a squad of fighters over, and they did not know that this incident had risen to a real religious incident.
After the soldiers of this squad came, they naturally couldn't solve the problem, so they immediately went back on the grounds that they had too few people with them, and then reported the details to the Northwest Military District Command.
The military district command also realized through understanding that this was no longer a problem that could be solved by force, and it would be difficult to solve it even if a corps was sent over, so they did not hesitate to report it to the headquarters of the Northern Corps.
This is a political incident, but it is also necessary to send troops to maintain order, and they need to find a way to calm the anger of both sides of the conflict, and not let the conflict continue to escalate, the problem is very thorny.
Who needs to hand over this kind of problem to solve, Min Houde naturally thought of the 72nd Brigade.
Because the 72nd Brigade was stationed in the Capital Military Region, Min Houde asked Yin Guangzhou to personally invite Zheng Weiguo and asked Yin Guangzhou to explain the stakes to Zheng Weiguo.
Zheng Weiguo is very big, but he can't help but agree, this is the meaning of the existence of their army, he can handle it if others can't handle it, otherwise, why let him enjoy the treatment of a brigade commander?
They are privileged, and while enjoying privileges, they must also bear more responsibilities than others.
"To what extent is it resolved?" Zheng Weiguo asked.
"First, there must be no casualties, second, the two sides of the conflict must not be further intensified, and third, the anger of the local people must be calmed." Yin Guangzhou said, "After completing these three things, let them go back to their own homes and find their own mothers, and the problem will be solved." ”
Zheng Weiguo said helplessly, "This is not easy to solve." ”
"Hehe, yes, it's very difficult to solve, that's why I need you Brigade Commander Zheng to come out."
The Yunnan-Tibet Plateau has a large number of grasslands, which has also given rise to excellent animal husbandry, and most of the local people do not farm, but live by grazing cattle.
Some of their villages may have only a few hundred households, but they cover an area of tens of thousands of acres, and they have no neighbors or neighbors, and their nearest neighbors are sometimes thousands of kilometers away.
It is this loose neighborhood relationship that makes them develop a good habit of hospitality, and they sometimes do not see an outsider for many days, and if an outsider comes by once in a while, they will be very happy, and they will definitely kill cattle and sheep to entertain you.
The herdsman who domesticated thousands of yaks was actually a very kind man and very hospitable, but now, there were a large number of people outside his house who wanted to hurt him, which made him have to take up arms to resist.
He didn't expect that the thousands of yaks he kept in captivity were also humane, and they spontaneously learned to protect their masters, and the people outside refused to leave, and they refused to disperse, so they graze and rest around their master's house.
When the soldiers of the 72nd Brigade were brought by train, they saw the same scene.
Zheng Weiguo was quite crooked, and he quickly thought of a solution, he came to the outside of the yak herd without any weapons, and called the herdsman loudly to ask him to invite him in.
Zheng Weiguo asked the herdsman directly: "For herdsmen like you, is it the same as long as there is a grassland to graze, no matter where you live?" ”
The herdsman didn't know why, but he still nodded subconsciously and said, "That's pretty much it." ”
"Then I have an idea for you to think about, and it can definitely help you get out of the current predicament." Zheng Weiguo said solemnly, "I'll kill you now, of course, it's pretending, so that people outside mistakenly think that I killed you, and I will definitely not kill you." ”
"Then I walked out of here with your blood on my hands, and I can even take one of your legs or arms or something, anyway, there is a medical cabin now, and it is very convenient to be treated."
"As for you, just lie here and pretend to be dead, until the people outside see that you are dead, their anger will definitely disappear, and then they will disperse, and then I will secretly transport you away."
"The Yun-Tibet Plateau is so big, it's okay for us not to mix in this county, let's stay away from them, you take these yaks of yours and go to a new place to live again."
"In this way, the best of both worlds, everyone is happy, what do you think?"
"Okay, I listen to you, I'm so sad about this place that I want to leave for a long time."
"Well, do you have any other family? You can take it with you. ”
"I also have a daughter, a son, my daughter has married far away, my son is now living in a big city, let them know when I settle down in the new place, I don't want them to know about this now."
"It's fine." Zheng Weiguo nodded, "Then I will shoot, don't worry, my marksmanship is very good, I will definitely not miss, if you are not unconscious, I will also knock you unconscious, and when you wake up again, you will have come to your new home, I will find you a very good grassland." ”
However, what Zheng Weiguo didn't expect was that the gunfire not only alarmed the ordinary people outside, but also the four Tibetan mastiffs outside the door......
