Horse on the World

Chapter 556
The internal cleansing of Dingzhou is very fast, and the frontline battle is imminent. Dingzhou does not have much time to entangle in this matter. The Statistics and Investigation Department under the leadership of the Military Intelligence Department and Ji Sichen are fully mobilized. A batch of officials, the school is quickly taken to the front of the Hall of Heroes, Verify that you are upright, and ask to beheaded.In the Panshi camp alone, 23 officials above the school lieutenant level who were infiltrated by the staff were found.

In Dingzhou City, the family members of the officials affected by the suppression of counter-revolutionaries cried loudly. Although Li Qing's policy in Dingzhou was to only blame himself and not his family members, in this era, the lives of the families of the traitors It is conceivable how sad it is, not to mention the subconscious reactions of the officials who were hit in the rebellion, the spittle of the people in Dingzhou alone is enough to drown them.Li Qing was deeply loved by the people in Dingzhou, and when he heard that these people almost killed the commander-in-chief, he was furious, just like what happened to Lu Yiming back then, no matter day or night, there will always be bricks and stones, dead cats die Dogs flew into their yard, and the curses continued day by day.

Three days after the suppression of counter-revolutionaries, several family members of officials who were suppressed against counter-revolutionaries committed suicide due to the pressure.Hearing the reports from the inner guards, although Li Qing couldn't bear it, he would not stop it deliberately. He needed everyone to know that betrayers would have to pay a price.

"Li Wen, if some of these people are willing to leave Dingzhou City, I can give them two choices. One, go to Shiwei, where Yan Nanfei is, and I won't embarrass them. Two, go to the island on the Black Water Ocean, where, Deng Peng’s voyage has newly discovered some large islands that can be immigrated to, and no one will embarrass them when they go there.”

"Yes, handsome!"

Compared with the desolation of these people, the whole Dingzhou is full of joy mixed with tension. Everyone knows that the soldiers of Dingzhou are engaged in a life-and-death battle in the Central Plains. Dingzhou reserve soldiers gather from all directions every day. In Dingzhou City, some of these men who are still wearing various clothes are over [-] years old, most of them are the first batch of retired veterans, and some are just teenagers who have just shed their childishness, lined up neatly, Walking in uniform steps, singing military songs, walked across the street, and reported to the counting place in front of the military commander's mansion, and then were assigned to each of the military camps to receive their equipment.

From time to time, the citizens watching on the street erupted into bursts of cheers, and some even took out the new year's goods they had prepared at home. Whether they recognized them or not, they desperately stuffed them into the arms of these soon-to-be soldiers, and did not forget to wave them after stuffing. Fist, shouted: "Dingzhou Army, mighty!"

The soldiers immediately responded neatly, "Dingzhou Army, Wan Sheng!"

In Fuyuan Craftsman Camp, Ren Ruqing's eyes were bloodshot, and the bit of official prestige that he had cultivated for several years was gone at this moment, with his hat crooked, the hem of his robe tied around his waist, and his boots were covered with mud. Standing on a table in a factory that makes armor-piercing arrows, he roared: "Brothers, if we make one more arrow, we can kill one more enemy. Although we can't go to the battlefield, every brother on the front line kills one more enemy." Enemy, let’s say we won’t have two or three points for attacking labor. Get up, raise the hammer higher, use more strength, and win this battle. Give money, want a woman... Ah, this won't work, you have to spend your own money if you want a woman!"

There was a burst of laughter in the factory, and the fatigue of continuous work seemed to be swept away in the laughter. Looking at the craftsmen who worked more happily, Ren Ruqing was very proud of his brainstorm. You know, these craftsmen Now I only rest for two or three hours a day, and I am completely spinning on the axis!The commander-in-chief needs to equip 5 people in a short period of time, and I don’t have much stock here, and I have to supply the consumption of the front line. Since the commander-in-chief came back, it was shipped to Youyan Lu Dalin, Minyi Guowang Group, except for Weizhou Since Neveu invaded Luzhou and did not transport it, the consumption of the ordnance was like flowing water!

Walking out of the armor-piercing arrow factory, Ren Ruqing immediately went to the next factory. The workers can rest for a few hours. He has not closed his eyes for three days. Within ten days, the commander-in-chief will ask for [-] sets of equipment. Don't worry, it's been three days now, plus the inventory, he only has [-] sets.

In the logistics department, Zhong Haotian is not much better than Ren Ruqing, even worse than Ren Ruqing. Ren Ruqing is full of craftsmen, and he has basically not been affected by this rebellion. Officials at all levels are complete and the organization is functioning well. Otherwise, many middle and low-level officials in the logistics department were taken away for investigation. He is in short supply here. Holding the account book in one hand and the writing brush in the other, he went to battle in person, and occasionally had to deal with urgent official documents sent.

The materials distributed in various warehouses, large and small, in Dingzhou must be approved by him before they can be transported away, and everything needed to support front-line operations, ranging from trebuchets and eight-ox crossbows, to small ones He had to take care of the soldiers' protective gloves and headgear, and Zhong Haotian only felt that his head was getting bigger. Adding up the first half of his life, he felt that he was not as busy as he is now.He didn't go home for several days, and even made jokes at home. The family thought he was also suppressed.Weeping and going to watch in front of the Hall of Heroes, to see when he will be dragged and beheaded.

Outside Dingzhou City, barracks were erected one after another. Rows of unarmed soldiers walked into the barracks vigorously. Under the leadership of the officers, they began to go out for exercises every day.

Compared to the busy Dingzhou, there is one place in the city that is extremely leisurely, and that is the residence of Mr. Shang Hai Boshang, the most lively military service residence in Dingzhou City in the past.

The anti-revolutionary campaign in Dingzhou is in full swing. People are imprisoned every day, and people are taken out of the prison every day. They are carried directly to the front of the Hall of Heroes, with a knife in hand. Blood is sprayed on the smooth stone slabs in front of the Hall of Heroes, but Shang Haibo seems to be It was forgotten, and no one came to find it. In the past two days, even the soldiers of the Hengdao Battalion outside the door also withdrew.

"Master, three high-ranking officials were beheaded in front of the Hall of Heroes today, and two lieutenants in the Commander's Mansion were executed!" Shang Kexi, an old family member, said to Shang Haibo tremblingly.

Shang Haibo sat cross-legged on the Kang, closed his eyes and said nothing.

"Master, we, what shall we do?" Shang Kexi asked in a low voice, and now every time he heard footsteps outside, the people in Shang's house would be as frightened as a bird.

"How many people are there in the family?" Shang Haibo asked suddenly.

"Master, almost all the relatives who came to seek refuge have run away in the past few days, and now only our own family is left in the house!" Shang Kexi said angrily.

"It's just human nature. How many people have been killed these days?"

"I don't know, but I heard from the street that there are more than 100!" Shang Kexi gritted his teeth, and at some point, he would become one of those decapitated ghosts.

"The commander-in-chief's heart is still soft. If it were another person, I'm afraid that Dingzhou is now bleeding like a river!" Shang Haibo said.

Footsteps sounded suddenly outside, "Master, Master, Mr. Lu is here!" Menzi trotted over.

Shang Kexi jumped up all of a sudden: "How many people did Lord Lu bring here, are they here to arrest us?"

Shang Haibo snorted, "Gladly, why panic? To arrest us, do you still need Mr. Lu to come? Please invite Mr. Lu to come in, and just say that Shang is guilty of this person, so we won't go to meet him!"

Turning to Shang Kexi, Shang Haibo was relieved: "It's finally here, gratifying, Mr. Lu must have brought to deal with me. Do you know what people are most afraid of in this life?"

"Death!" Shang Kexi shed tears.

"Wrong, it's not death, but I know I'm going to die, but I don't know when it will come, and I don't know how to die? It's really uncomfortable to wait for death! The old way is here, but I don't know what it will bring me. Is it Bai Ling or a pot of poisoned wine that came, hehe, it’s gratifying, don’t worry, sir, I won’t be dragged to the Hall of Heroes to be stabbed, the commander also wants to save face.” Shang Haibo smiled, but his face was No smile.

"Master!" Shang Kexi choked up and couldn't speak.

"Don't worry, you won't be punished. After I die, you can send the young master, miss and wife back to your hometown. Remember, the young master is not allowed to study anymore, let him be a farmer!"

Shang Haibo wanted to say something, but Nang Nang's footsteps came from outside the door. Following the footsteps, Lu Yiming walked into the room with a sullen face.

"Old Lu, you are here, please sit down!" Shang Haibo smiled calmly.

"You came today, but did you bring the commander's opinion on how to deal with me?"

"Feng Guo is dead, he committed suicide!" Lu Yiming said in a heavy tone, "I went to see his body, and he was wearing the old military uniform, which was the one in the Changsheng Camp. He didn't commit suicide , I exhausted all my strength and slashed at my own neck, leaving only a little skin attached to the whole head." Lu Yiming lowered his head, "How much courage and how deep regret is needed!"

The muscles on Shang Haibo's face twitched, "He also has a wife who is pregnant."

"His wife was frightened by this, and gave birth to a baby girl early, but she died of a bloody collapse. Now the commander has ordered Guan Xinglong to take care of that girl!" Lu Yiming said.

"Hello girl!" Shang Haibo nodded repeatedly.

"Princess Qingcheng is also dead, and she committed suicide by taking poison, so it's too late!" Lu Yiming said again.

Shang Haibo smiled, "Okay, it's very good, I went by myself, Lao Lu, don't you look down on me, after so many days, you still live with a shy face and refuse to go by yourself?"

Lu Yiming sighed for a long time, looked at Shang Haibo, and shook his head.

"Old Lu, to be honest, I have always looked down on you since I started Changshengying, thinking that I am far superior to you in terms of talent and knowledge, and I have been working hard to prove this over the years, but now It seems that I was wrong, at least you are far superior to me in terms of knowledge. The more I live, the more confused I am."

"I regret it! But there is no medicine for regret in the world. I don't want to die. I want the general to deal with me personally. Even if he comes to chop off my head in person, even if he throws me on a random graveyard to feed the wild dogs, and throws me into the grassland I am also willing to go up to feed the wolves. I will not die, but I will live to wait for the commander to say this!" Shang Haibo said in a sad tone.
