late Qing Dynasty arrest

Chapter 285 Who Can Understand the Suffering of Landlords

The morning meeting was assigned tasks, and it was over in half an hour. Li Guolou got up and said, "In the morning, I will go to see the border between Balizhuang and Qilitun. Dongqing and Zhou Jian, you can go with me."

Zhou Jian said anxiously: "Captain Li, you can't look at it like this. There is a guard post near the dividing line in the bully village of Qilitun. We will shoot as soon as we step into the base line of their village. If any cow or any The sheep has gone to Qilitun, don’t even think about coming back. You’d better be careful, if you get shot by a bullet, wouldn’t it be a joke?”

Li Guolou was taken aback. The sky is bright and the sky is bright, and someone will shoot the officials of the Qing Dynasty. Isn't this a rebellion?Feeling angry, it seems that it is impossible not to repair Zhengjiang, a bully village in Qilitun. At worst, he will go back and forth with "extinct tricks", label him as an accomplice of the rebels, and catch them all!Anyway, the Qing Empire had as many two-legged people as it wanted, and the more officers and soldiers to suppress bandits, the better.

"Grandma's Xiong, is there any law here? Cheng Kun, order a team of 12 people, Sun Yue, order a team of 24 people, go on patrol with me, and bring grenades." Li Guolou fired fiercely, Temper up, ready to fight.

Who are the people around?They are all not peaceful masters.Needless to say, the villagers of Bali Village were overjoyed, hoping that the officers and soldiers would really fight the people in Qilitun, and they would reap the benefits of fishing.

Li Guolou's subordinates had just made a fortune from the war, and they were all gearing up and gearing up. No one reminded Li Guolou that this was wrong.With a "decree!", they went to assemble the team.

In the courtyard of Yunmeng Diaolou, the wind was rumbling, and the tense scenes that only happened during Xiao Sha's war appeared. The soldiers roared at the top of their lungs when they called for the roll call, and their blood boiled when they rushed to the front line, infecting everyone around them.

More than 30 people with spears on their backs and thirteen war horses armed to the teeth went out of the village to the south, walking on the field path in the mud, next to a small river flowing into the distance, with willows weeping on both sides, and the season of singing birds and fragrant flowers, It is refreshing.

Li Guolou rode in the middle of the team, wearing official uniform still very eye-catching, looking at the woods and bushes in the field, the scene of an ambush appeared in his mind.If a team of them invaded the enemy-occupied area, they might enter the ocean of the people, surrounded by thousands of people, and there would not be enough for them to drink a pot.

Pieces of wheat in the field grew pleasing ears, and the green field exuded a sober atmosphere. Li Guolou stretched out his horsewhip, pointed to Jiangshan, and said coquettishly: "If we come in September, this will be a corn field. At that time, we will not be able to dispatch, and the guerrilla tactics will make our death ugly."

Dongqing rode on a short mule horse, nodded hurriedly, and echoed: "That is, that is, Captain Li has a clever plan to eliminate the disadvantages. We will definitely win this time." I hoped that the guards in Qilitun would shoot first. If the few officers and soldiers in front of them were killed, then there would be no way to resolve the deadlock. More than a hundred officers and soldiers would avenge their revenge and massacre the villagers in Qilitun.

After the team marched for three miles, the front was the junction of Balizhuang and Qilitun. The mouth of the river was widened, and the water flowed slowly into the farmland of Qilitun.In addition to the boundary marker, there is a row of large bluestones piled on the ground, clearly demarcating the boundary between the two villages. In some places, a row of white birch trees were planted.

There are also two towers built in the fields of Qilitun, which form an angle, and you can see someone holding a gun on it from a distance.

Like watching the terrain on the battlefield, Li Guolou put down his binoculars in the distance and asked, "Team deputy, can you beat it down?"

Cheng Kun sneered, and said, "Captain Li, don't worry, if you try to hide in the wooden tower, I'll beat him right back."

Li Guolou said loudly: "Wave the snow mountain lion flag for me, beat the drums, and keep fighting in formation." He still maintained due restraint. If the opponent dared to shoot in this formation, it would be tantamount to rebellion , Don't blame him for being cruel and ruthless, making actions to massacre civilians.

"Dong dong dong dong!" The people on the tower beat the bronze drum first, summoning the people in the village, and the people on the tower shouted loudly, "Stop, which part, go forward, and shoot!"

Once the war drums sounded, they would not stop. The officers and soldiers marched forward without hesitation, crossed the dividing line, and stepped into the boundary of Qilitun. No one paid attention to the shouts of the people on the tower.

A guard on the tower couldn't help but shoot into the sky, wanting to warn the invading enemy, a "bang!" shot pierced the sky.

Cheng Kun didn't think too much about it. He raised the Shasibo-style breech-loading gun in his hand, aimed and shot, "Bah!" There was no sound on the tower, and the broken throat would never scream again in this life.

The people in the other tower shouted anxiously, "Don't shoot, sir, I surrender!"

A long gun was thrown from the tower, and the guard lay down on the tower in a sensible way, not daring to move, annoyed that his other companion was blind, how could he shoot at the officers and soldiers, isn't this suicide?

Cheng Kun approached the tower with zigzag steps, and shouted, "Come down quickly, or I will shoot."

"Don't shoot, don't shoot, I'm coming down." The guard climbed down the tower obediently.

An officer and soldier briskly climbed up the tower, threw down a dead guard, and climbed down the tower again with the captured spear on his back.

Li Guolou looked at the fallen body, and said viciously: "Stinky boy, how dare you rebel and destroy your whole family." He first stood up for righteousness, and he was determined not to fall, even if no one could say any nonsense.

Someone from Qilitun was already rushing towards the tower. A middle-aged man in a satin mandarin jacket and an attendant, with empty hands, yelled from a long distance, "Don't shoot, sir, don't shoot, it's a misunderstanding. Listen to me, Captain Lee and I are friends;;;;;;;”

After the body search, the middle-aged man was brought to Li Guolou. Li Guolou looked suspiciously at the middle-aged man in front of him. He didn't have a single impression in his mind. How could he have seen this person before?

The middle-aged man had been searched by the officers and soldiers, and stood in front of Li Guolou without dignity, bent his body, raised his head, and smiled flatteringly: "Captain Li, forget me, didn't we drink together in Huangcun?" Have you had a drink? Our Qilitun armed forces were also bought by the foreign comprador you introduced, have you forgotten?"

Li Guolou finally remembered that when he was handling the case in Huangcun, the village official Huang Kaohao had invited several big landlords from other villages. At that time, the big landlords in several villages wanted to buy guns to arm the security team. He also introduced them to the boss Du .I forgot about it when it was over, I didn't expect that I didn't know each other without a fight, and I met here today.

"Oh! I remembered, Wang is in charge, and the officer Wang is right. So you live in Qilitun. If I had known this, I should have paid a visit to you first."

From the corner of Wang's post, he saw a dead body early on, and another bound guard begged him for help. He had all kinds of feelings in his heart, knowing that the officers and soldiers originally wanted to wipe out Qilitun, and if they disagreed, they would bring disaster to Qilitun.Fortunately among the misfortunes, Li Guolou, the captain of the team led by officers and soldiers, is his friend, and the crisis can still be resolved.

"Captain Li, I misunderstood you. I beg you to be merciful. There is something to discuss. The children are ignorant and shoot indiscriminately. You must not be labeled as a rebel!" Guolou didn't respond, he just gritted his teeth and knelt down on the mud floor, and then paid his respects.

Li Guolou sighed for a long time, and his murderous heart gradually softened. He helped Wang to take the post, and said, "Your Majesty Wang, why are we friends? For your sake, I won't mention it any more." Yes. Where is Jiang Zheng? Why didn’t you come to see me?”

With tears in his eyes, Wang Renren's fearful heart finally let go, and he argued: "Captain Li, we have Qilitun's difficulties in Qilitun, and you must not listen to the one-sided words of the people in Balizhuang. Jiang is my uncle. Nephew, you brat doesn't know the heights of heaven and earth, I'll go back to enforce the family law, if Captain Li has something to say to my house, what's wrong with Jiang Zheng, I'll beat him to death on the spot."

A few words have clearly told Li Guolou that Qilitun is the world where the king takes office, and Jiang Zheng is just the person he holds up to be the village official.

The local gentry are very powerful, some are from aristocratic families, and even the government is ignored, but there must be someone who is an official, and some of the aristocratic families have no officials for several generations, and they will soon decline.Wang Ren's family is now in the past, and it no longer has the glory of the past. How can the power compete with Shang Shubao of the Ministry of Punishment? Even Li Guolou dare not offend.

Li Guolou squinted and said, "Your Majesty Wang, it can't be a Hongmen banquet. Did you hear the sound of cannons the morning before yesterday? No matter how strong the fortress is, it can't hold up to two cannonballs."

When Wang took office, he was afraid that Li Guolou would send troops. If there was no rebellion in Qilitun, it would become a rebellion.Wiping the cold sweat with a handkerchief in his hand, he stumbled and said: "Captain Li, I was born in a scholarly family, how could I do such a thing? Don't worry, you give me face, I will not be a villain, everything is good discuss."

Li Guolou narrowed his eyes and looked at Wang Chengren, and repeatedly weighed in his heart, if he didn't enter the tiger's den, he would not get a tiger's cub, if he didn't even dare to enter the small Qilitun, wouldn't it be a joke?He nodded and said: "Okay! I believe you once, at the feet of the emperor, whoever dares to come here will have no good fruit to eat."

"Please, please, Captain Li, I will lead the horse and put you on the pedals." Wang Ren used his skill of flattering and flattering horses, and grabbed the black horse that Li Guolou was riding.

Li Guolou raised his voice and said: "Deputy Cheng, please get on the horse, Mr. Wang, and we will enter the village hand in hand. The two people here are dead and alive, escort them back to Bali Village first, and deal with them when we come back."

Li Guolou thought of the worst possible outcome. The two captured guards were the evidence.

Li Guolou and Wang took the post and walked side by side, each with their own plans. Behind them were only ten militia members including Sun Yue, Dongqing and Zhou Jian from Balizhuang, who followed Li Guolou into Qilitun.

The earthen walls of Qilitun are full of villagers with guns, and the dense crowd shows that this is a large village.Li Guolou looked at the women with children on the street, and the eyes of thieves, and he already understood why Qilitun would go out of his way to seize the land and water sources of Balizhuang. The population crisis emerged in Qilitun. According to fairness and justice According to the principle of population explosion, how do the villagers in Qilitun live?Reasoning should be done under a situation that is acceptable to both parties. If life is hard to live on, who will be reasonable?

Li Guolou was riding on the horse, although he was still not showing any signs of expression, but he was no longer interested in displaying his eloquence. Bali Village was at a disadvantage. So many people died, so it just so happens that so much land is not needed.

This is the benefit brought by war. When the population of all dynasties reaches a critical point, there will be wars. The seemingly cruel wars are the way for human beings to digest themselves. .How to solve the population crisis?Slaughtering cities is a regression of society. Countless kings still choose the path of massacring cities.The land and houses in the capital were obtained by the Manchus through enclosures, and countless Han people were displaced.There is no need to reason about the founding of the Qing Dynasty, but now everything is well documented.

Li Guolou looked at the hateful faces on the street, and the villagers in Qilitun wished they could peel his skin and constrict his tendons.Where to go, he has no choice, because Li Guolou already knows, no matter how he chooses?It's all wrong.

The best way is to slaughter, no matter right or wrong, kill one party!History is written by the winner, and he can write a brilliant stroke on his resume.Just like Tianjing, the capital of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, which was invaded by officers and soldiers, let a city start again like a newborn.But he can't do this, he is not an executioner, and he doesn't need the blood of the common people to dye the red crown and wear the flower feathers.

Sitting on the horse, Li Guolou sighed, "Your Majesty Wang, it's hard for you to manage such a big village."

The secret words had already been issued, and Li Guolou was the first to speak soft words. Wang Chuanren didn't realize that Li Guolou wanted to let him go, and stop standing up for Balizhuang to ask for the [-] mu of land and water.

But what he heard was pleasing to the ears, and Wang Renren said with emotion: "What Master Li said is that I am suffering. I have to support more than 500 households, more than 600 people. This is too courageous. I have tried to sell the land several times. , left Qilitun, and ran to the concession to live the life of a rich man, but I wanted every plant and tree here, and I was reluctant to part with it. I am for Qilitun;;;;;;”

It is the nature of the landlord to die on his own land.Li Guolou didn't listen to the king's appointment as a meritorious service. Different classes have different understandings of suffering. With rich clothes and fine food, beautiful wives and beautiful concubines, big houses and fertile fields, where can the big landlords who have everything one expects to be able to suffer when the king is appointed?
