Crimson Dawn

Chapter 107

As the richest man in Yuezhangji, Fengtai County, Anhui Province and a prominent figure in the local area, Landlord Zhang Youliang has never been so peaceful.The gunshots and shouts outside could not frighten Zhang Youliang, who had participated in battles involving tens of thousands of people. In his military career, such battles with 200 people were not worth mentioning.Although the jaw and shoulder joints removed by Hua Xiongmao still hurt, but it has been a while since the removal, and I am used to the pain.

None of the servants had learned how to connect dislocated joints, so after they rushed into the yard to rescue Zhang Youliang, Zhang Youliang was still unable to command the battle.With the dragons without a leader, Zhang Youliang's men were beaten and retreated steadily.

The military book said, "Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be imperiled in a hundred battles." Although he couldn't speak, Zhang Youliang could tell from his voice that the soldiers of the insurance regiment outside were all raw eggs.If he was still young, he could definitely command the group of people under him to beat them to pieces.The only ones to fear in the insurance regiment are the young officers.After being hijacked by two young men, Hua Xiongmao and Xu Dian, Zhang Youliang also carefully observed these two young men.Regardless of the fighting skills they showed, the fighting will is really terrifying.Under the situation of being besieged, they did not resign themselves to their fate at all and waited for death.Presumably the level of other commanders should not be inferior to these two.This is the case with war, even if your subordinates are mobs, as long as there are capable officers leading the battle, the battle can go on.The insurance regiment obviously does not lack officers of this level.

The subordinates yelled to surrender in panic, and the people outside shouted immediately, telling the servants to go out and surrender one by one.Although he was also afraid of being liquidated after surrendering, but after the outsiders fired a row of guns into the yard, the last morale of the servants also dissipated.They went out to surrender one by one, although they walked past Zhang Youliang.The family didn't even look at Zhang Youliang.

Zhang Youliang was not angry with their performance.These people have never seen "such a violent shooting", which is normal.On weekdays, Zhang Youliang just bullies ordinary people, and these people have never participated in real battles.Now there is no need to deduce it carefully, Zhang Youliang's own result is obvious.The insurance group that popped up suddenly did not want to let go of Zhang Youliang from the very beginning.After catching himself, he will never spare himself.

Not long after the servants surrendered, a few people came in with their heads poking around, and after seeing that there was no one else in the yard, a few people who were obviously officers entered the yard.Among the two leaders, one of them was Hua Xiongmao.The other person is tall and should be the leader.Then I heard someone cheering outside, "Zhang Youliang is caught!" "Zhang Youliang is caught!"

Hearing these cheers, Zhang Youliang was not excited at all.Zhang Youliang had lost count of how many such cheers he had had in his life.Every time a battle is won, the Huai army doesn't like to keep prisoners, and the captured enemies are chopped off except for important people.One's own destiny is just the difference between cutting it early and cutting it later.So the 68-year-old former Huai Army officer, and now the landlord Zhang Youliang even closed his eyes.

He had already done nothing wrong, such a thought suddenly popped up in Zhang Youliang's mind.In my life, I have fought wars, earned money, and had several sons, and finally came here in a prosperous and prosperous way.Today's destruction is God's will, even if he can start again, the insurance group, a strange outsider, is so powerful, he will definitely not be able to win if he hits the door.And if I don't call the door, the victory of the insurance group is just a matter of killing more people, and my own destruction is just a matter of time.

Zhang Youliang Mr. Zhang didn't blame others, he had long been open to life and death, after killing so many men, women and children, Zhang Youliang didn't have much fear of being killed.Now is a disaster year, no different from the era of war.There are hungry people everywhere, ready to die at any moment.The only thing Zhang Youliang regrets is that he is getting old, and his ability to cope with this environment has greatly declined.It would be nice if we formed a village earlier to protect ourselves instead of trying to make more money in the disaster year.But on second thought, if that was the case, my whole family would be trapped in the enclosure and die.If you abandon your family property and run to the county or even the prefecture, you should be able to escape this catastrophe.

Unfortunately no chance to come back.Zhang Youliang thought regretfully.This is Zhang Youliang's last regret.It never occurred to him that someone would avenge himself or something.Although I still have some of my own family working in the Beiyang Army, even if they know the news about me, what's the use of coming back to avenge me, I'm already dead anyway.

As if to confirm Zhang Youliang's thoughts, Hua Xiongmao said, "Battle Commander, do you think we should kill him now or later?"

"First kill the leader in public, and then liquidate the Zhang family after killing the servants outside."

Zhang Youliang opened his eyes, wanting to see who the enemy who finally decided the fate of himself and his family was.To his disappointment, the young man was a total stranger.It's not an enemy who has nothing to do with him.

"How about a public struggle meeting? I think it's better to hold a meeting to fight." Hua Xiongmao heard Chen Ke talk about this kind of struggle meeting before.It stands to reason that it should be very inflammatory for those who have hatred to come to the stage to criticize Zhang Youliang and others.

"The common people died when Zhang Youliang shut him out of the enclosure. To be honest, the common people didn't think that Zhang Youliang was devoid of conscience. It is estimated that many people thought he was justifiable. In this battle, we The design is good, but it’s not like that at all when fighting. So I originally wanted to hold a struggle meeting, but now, if this struggle will break down, it’s not beautiful.”

Chen Ke calmly analyzed the current situation, "The most important thing now is to quickly plant and harvest so that everyone can live until next year. There will be opportunities in future struggles. There is no need for everyone to make any mistakes now."

After saying these words to Hua Xiongmao, Chen Ke lowered his head and glanced at Zhang Youliang, "Grandpa Zhang, this is Chen Ke, the battalion commander of the insurance regiment. I have decided to execute you immediately. The reason for the execution is because you are here. Refusing to hand over the land for everyone to cultivate in a disaster year will cause tens of thousands of people to die of starvation and disease. You have committed a crime of mutilating the people, which is a heinous crime. I decided to cut off your head."

Although he already knew that his life was at stake, Zhang Youliang couldn't help but widen his eyes after hearing Chen Ke enumerate his own crimes.This is definitely not something that bandits can say. Even when bandits use the slogan of "do justice for the sky" to fool those poor people, it is absolutely impossible for bandits to say such clear words.And their reasons are definitely not so "ridiculous".No one can stop natural disasters, but Zhang Youliang's own land should be allowed to be planted by others.It is normal for people to starve to death in disaster years!To sacrifice oneself to save others is the greatest absurdity.However, this self-proclaimed battalion commander of the insurance regiment, Chen Ke, made the ridiculous remarks so reasonable, and the two officers in the insurance regiment, Hua Xiongmao and Xu Dian, also took the "ridiculous" words as they should. Feel.Are they playing dumb, or are they really crazy?

Landlord Zhang Youliang suddenly felt chills all over his body. If the poor peasants really believed what these people said and followed them, then the entire landowners in Anhui would be wiped out.Thinking of the poor people all over the land dividing the land of the landlords and not paying the landlords food after planting the land, Zhang Youliang felt as if he had seen hell.

Landlord Zhang, who had already accepted his fate, suddenly wanted to say something.He wanted to speak out against this lawless atrocity, and he wanted to yell at these lawless young bandits for breaking thousands of years of rules.He wanted to scold the bandits who killed his family for rebellion.In short, landlord Zhang Youliang's self-consciousness as a landlord class made him want to oppose the ideas of the two young people in front of him.Unfortunately, he was speechless.

Moreover, these two youths did not have the slightest intention of letting Zhang Youliang speak.They ordered two guards to watch over Zhang Youliang, and then went out to continue directing the battle.With this experience, the next battle will be much easier.Break the door, shoot, persuade to surrender. If the people inside refuse to surrender, they will shoot again, and the infantry will rush in to resolve the battle.

Chen Ke's feeling of excitement has completely disappeared, and the comrades are immersed in the fierce emotion of the battle one by one.However, in Chen Ke's opinion, fighting along doesn't even have the excitement of ordinary gangster movies.

At that time, there was a lot of shouting and killing outside, and the main force composed of two companies and three companies had already set off signal fireworks.At this time, it should also be outside the enclosure.Chen Ke handed over the command to the enthusiastic Hua Xiongmao, and climbed up the watchtower at the south gate by himself.Sure enough, under the guidance of two red sickle and ax flags, every comrade rushed forward.Seeing the enemy trying to resist, the spear immediately poked these guys into a sieve.The servant who gave up his resistance was kicked to the ground.

It's really "If you want to see a thousand miles away, go to a higher level." Chen Ke looked down from a high position and saw that within a mile radius, the soldiers of the insurance regiment were violently attacking and intimidating Zhang Youliang's armed forces.The soldiers ran, roared, and threatened.In addition to killing a lot, they are also decent.

Judging from the situation of the encirclement, on the way back to the encirclement, the enemies suddenly found that there were hundreds of people in the swamp where they thought it was absolutely impossible to pass through the large army. These people didn't know where to flee.Some people tried to escape by water, but the insurance company's boat stopped them, and those who wanted to go back to the enclosure were blocked from the door.After such a hesitation, the large force of the insurance group arrived.Except for a few people who escaped quickly, the fate of others is irreversible.

Chen Ke's expression was cold, and he even watched the battle with some concern. Regardless of the fact that the insurance group has won a complete victory, at this level, if they fight against the regular army, they will be defeated at the touch of a finger.There is no need to use armed forces like the Beiyang Army, the Anhui New Army alone is almost enough.I have to fight with comrades in the party leading such an army, and the future is worrying.

But anything destined to happen will happen, and everything will have an end.It was as if the battle in front of him was coming to an end soon.Seeing that there was no chance of winning, the servants and the lackeys knelt down and begged for mercy.The reconnaissance troops went to chase those fish that slipped through the net, and the other soldiers under the leadership of their respective army commanders took care of the captives, and then they didn't know who would lead first, and the comrades began to cheer for victory.

"Win! Win!"

"Defeat Zhang Youliang!"

The battlefield in front of Chen Ke turned into a sea of ​​joy.The comrades began to jump and shout like kindergarten children after playing the game of "riding horses and fighting". Chen Ke has very good eyesight, and he can even distinguish the faces of the comrades who are gradually turning red due to excitement.

I don't know who saw Chen Ke on the watchtower first, but someone has already shouted at Chen Kegao: "Battalion Commander!" "Battalion Commander!"

He Zudao took the red flag with a sickle and ax at the right time, waved it and shouted: "Battle Commander! Battalion Commander!" Under such circumstances, the soldiers quickly followed him and shouted.

Chen Ke quickly let a confident smile appear on his face, and he waved his arms to the soldiers in front of the enclosure.Then there was a sudden burst of cheers amidst the relatively neat shouts.

"Everyone be quiet!" Chen Ke roared.Now he finally understands why "sound like a bell" is easy to appear in the vocabulary to describe soldiers.On a boiling battlefield, if you speak slowly and softly, no one will hear you.Sure enough, after Chen Ke finished yelling, the comrades below all quieted down.

"Comrades, we have won! What is the result of our victory? From the county seat to this Yuezhangji, all the land will be cultivated by our relatives! No rent will be collected! The grain produced will be shared by everyone. Get through this calamity year!" Chen Ke continued to roar.

The comrades below immediately burst into cheers.If you have land, you don’t need to starve to death in this calamity year. Isn’t that what everyone is fighting for?Chen Ke's public statement stabilized everyone's emotions.

"We also want to farm the land. Since we haven't collected taxes in recent years, we have to farm the land to support ourselves. Are you willing, comrades?"

"Yes!" "We are willing!" The soldiers cheered.

"Bring Zhang Youliang up!" Chen Ke shouted, "Let everyone see what this bad thing that is going to starve the people to death looks like!" Chen Ke turned around and shouted at the comrades at the door.
