Chapter 64: Bereavement

The situation has stabilized, those family members hugged their heads, squatted and squatted, and their mouths were all begging for mercy, Zhao Shitong rubbed the tiger mouth that was a little numb, and he fought with the person twice just now, and his divine soldiers shook the man's knife down, and his hands were also numb.

Yang Lichao jumped off the horse, took out a piece of cloth from an unknown place, wiped the tip of the armor-piercing gun, and it was another divine soldier, and it was also a natal divine soldier, this is his wife, who has to hold something to sleep with every night.

Suddenly, he noticed a militiaman, with a fierce look on his face, holding a firewood knife in his hand and slashing down at the tenant in front of him, who had laid down his arms and begged for mercy.

"Stop!"

Yang Lichao's face changed, and he stretched out his hand and shouted at the man, but it was too late, and the butcher knife had already fallen.

Phew.

Defenseless, the family Ding's neck was directly wiped off, and the family Ding covered his neck and looked at the militia in front of him in disbelief, he didn't understand why he had already said that he would not kill the butcher knife, but he still killed him.

The surrounding families and tenants watched this scene in horror, and some directly picked up their knives and confronted the Heavenly Soldiers and militiamen.

"Do anything, do anything!"

Zhao Shitong just relaxed for a while, and when he saw this scene, his body suddenly tensed, staring at these people, he noticed the militia who killed the surrendered person, and he was not angry, he was not so greedy for war merits.

Yang Lichao's heart tightened, he was also worried about this scene, seeing that the situation was not right, he hurriedly stepped forward and kicked the militia to the ground.

The two or three militiamen next to them also had such thoughts, perhaps they were frightened by Yang Lichao's voice, they didn't make a move, and now they suddenly came to their senses when they saw this scene, they were a little glad in their hearts, fortunately they didn't do it, otherwise they would be kicked now, and it seems that there is a more severe punishment in this way.

"What are you doing? What are you doing, don't you say that you will not kill if you drop your sword? Still killing the hungry? ”

A tenant held a knife and looked at Zhao Shitong with red eyes, how can he be a man who is untrustworthy, isn't this to lie to them and then kill?

"You guys calm down first, he's violating discipline," said Zhao Shitong and walked over to make up for the man.

The militia who was kicked suddenly didn't dare to say anything, he was also tempted by military merits, and now he was kicked twice and was watching this scene, and suddenly realized that it was bad, he seemed to be in trouble.

The situation behind the gate has stabilized, Liu Zhenhua saw the situation here in a blink of an eye, and he expected that this situation might occur.

strode closer, saw Liu Zhenhua, Zhao Shitong and Yang Lichao shouted the king of the stove.

Those families and tenants looked at Liu Zhenhua, this is the main owner.

Liu Zhenhua ignored it, his eyes were fixed on the militiaman who had done it, the latter lowered his head by Liu Zhenhua's gaze, he was very worried in his heart, and he didn't know how the King of the Stove would punish him.

"Yang Lichao, take some heavenly soldiers to search the courtyard, if you don't find the landlord of the Li family, forget it," Liu Zhenhua said in a deep voice, with the temperament of the landlord of the Li family, it is estimated that he would have taken refuge elsewhere when he saw them coming.

"Yes."

Yang Lichao answered, and then he led half of the heavenly soldiers here to search the backyard.

Everyone stared at Liu Zhenhua, and the weapons they were holding in their hands were not holding them, and they didn't know what this stove king meant.

Liu Zhenhua looked at the corpse on the ground, and then pointed and said, "Does anyone know this dead person?" Does he have any relatives at home? ”

The tenants glanced at each other, not knowing what Liu Zhenhua was asking for, did he cut the grass and eradicate the roots, or what, but after a while, a crop man with a low grid and a wrinkled face came out and said cautiously, "I know, Li Dabao, I have a son and a wife in the family." ”

Liu Zhenhua nodded when he heard this, and then said, "This person put down his weapon, and he was already under the command of my Stove King, and he was killed and punished as a death in battle." ”

Everyone was stunned when they heard this, the tenants didn't understand the meaning of this sentence, according to the punishment of death in battle, this is not a matter of the person who killed this person?

It was the first time that the heavenly soldiers and militiamen had heard the Lord of the Stove mention the matter of dying in battle.

The veteran heavenly soldiers followed during the period of horse bandits, and Liu Zhenhua never mentioned the people who died in battle along the way, but at that time, no one was killed, only people were injured and treated by the prince of the stove with an elixir.

"Whoever follows the deity and dies in battle, he will receive twenty taels of silver and five stones of grain."

"This man was killed in battle, and for him who laid down his arms, he received one stone of grain, six stones of grain and twenty taels of silver."

Liu Zhenhua's voice fell, and the tenants were in an uproar, six stones of grain, nine hundred catties, almost equivalent to the output of six acres of land for a year, enough for an ordinary family of three to eat for a year.

Although prices are inflated today, twenty taels of silver are still very good, and all the property of ordinary peasant families may only add up to about fifteen taels.

I'm afraid that the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty did not have this kind of treatment when they died.

And now, this person didn't even join the command of the king of the stove, and died in vain at the hands of one of his men, but he got such a compromise.

Looking at the old man of the Li family, in such a comparison, the old man of the Li family did not take human life as human life at all.

"The king of the stove loves the people like a son, and he is sympathetic to the soldiers, and we will not regret fighting for the king of the stove even though I have died nine times," Zhao Shitong said generously, and directly bowed down and knelt on the ground on one knee, "Long live the king of the stove!" ”

“?”

Liu Zhenhua was stunned, when did this kid say this?

"It's okay to think about how Ren Zhuo behaves."

Zhao Shitong leaned over, and the words of his eldest brother echoed in his mind.

"Long live the Stove King!"

The other heavenly soldiers and militia shouted after them, and the heavenly soldiers did not expect that their lives would be so valuable.

There is white porridge and mustard distributed by the prince who is alive, and there are still so many pensions when he dies.

The same is true for the militia, now they want to be promoted even more, most of these militiamen are from the Zhang family, all of them are old and young, if they are on the battlefield, they will definitely fight bravely, it is better to live, and it is not bad to die, no matter how you lose.

"Get up."

Liu Zhenhua said.

"I promised you before, to surrender, to persuade you to surrender, and to turn against the water, all of them will be counted, and after the war, your grain and money will be settled one by one."

The tenants swallowed a mouthful of spit, their eyes stared at Liu Zhenhua, if these words could not convince them, Liu Zhenhua's next words directly made them kneel on the ground.

"And, join the deity and register it, the land of the landlord of the Li family will also be divided equally, and you will have a share, if any of you owe the debt of the landlord of the Li family, it will be written off together."

"The Stove King is wise!"

Liu Zhenhua's voice fell, and the tenants suddenly knelt on the ground, and the landlord of the Li family asked them to kill people to give food, and only after killing too much did they pay off their debts.

Now, if they surrender and join the King of the Stove, they will have food, and they will also have land, and their debts will be eliminated, which is a great thing.
