"No, I want to pull myself together." Baofuka thought hard to cheer himself up again.

"At worst, I'll find a shoemaker or something else to be his apprentice. If it's hard work, at least I can earn a little more. I must not burden my brother." Baofuka thought.

"But if you become an apprentice, the workshop owner over there also has the same virtue, so what should you do then?"

Baovka began to think about this question for the first time in his young mind, but the more he thought about it, the more confused he became, and the more he thought about it, the more he couldn't understand what he should do.

A loud sound of gunfire interrupted Baovka's contemplation, and he crawled back curiously, looking over there vigorously.

199 Cavalry West

"What happened?" Baofuka ran away from the river beach, lying on the embankment and looking over there in a daze.

The firecrackers sounded one after another, getting louder and closer.Immediately afterwards, on the other side of the slope, there were a few bunches of white smoke first, then louder gunshots, and finally a heroic figure of a soldier leaping out on a white horse.

The soldiers in front rode horses and fled in a hasty and disorganized manner, being chased by the cavalry behind them like a group of bereaved dogs.Bovka saw that the cavalry who were chasing behind were very proud.They are different from the cavalry in front, wearing bright white military uniforms, and their military caps are specially trimmed, not the traditional high hats, but a pair of big-brimmed hats engraved with red five stars.

The cavalry marched forward bravely with short firearms and sabers, shouting like an invincible mighty army.A few cavalrymen still wanted to resist desperately, and they rode their horses back. As a result, they were shot down by those cavalrymen without a doubt, and they all fell off their horses straight and lay on the land.

The cavalry gradually approached from far to near. Seeing these unfamiliar faces, Baovka also became frightened.He was afraid that those cavalrymen would shoot a hole in his body if they didn't have eyes.

"Oh, little comrade! What kind of town is this?" A soldier saw Baofuka lying on his stomach by the river embankment, so he reined in his horse and asked Baofuka.

"It's Kocha Town!" Baovka shouted boldly. He saw that these people were benevolent, not as arrogant and vulgar as the Fafnir soldiers he usually saw.

"Little comrade! Don't be afraid!" The cavalry soldier over there also looked very young. Baofuka estimated that this man was at most four years older than himself, maybe only three years old.It is really strange that such a young person can become a cavalry soldier.

"I put the sugar here, little comrade, remember to come and get it later!" The young cavalryman saw that Baofuka was afraid to come over, so he had to take out a few pieces wrapped in oiled paper from the pocket of his military uniform. Candy, dismount and put it on the withered grass, get on the horse and prepare to leave.

"What's the matter? Did you ask where this is?"

A cavalry soldier with thick eyebrows and big eyes also rode over and asked the young cavalry soldier.

"Yes, this is Kecha Town." The young cavalry replied immediately.

"Okay, I'll notify Comrade Battalion Commander right away." The thick-eyed cavalry nodded immediately.

"Why are you still being silly?" The thick-eyed cavalryman asked strangely when he saw that the young cavalryman was still being silly.

"Squad leader, you don't know, I can call other people comrades. I found someone younger than me." The young cavalry pointed to Baofuka over there, and said cheerfully.

"It's useless to think about it. Hurry up and drive the devil out."

The two cavalry rode forward again, and their figures on horseback left a deep impression on Bowka.Intuition told him that these people were not bad people.Baovka walked over there cautiously and picked up the few pieces of candy on the ground.These things have always been elusive for him. Last time the white sugar came out, he wanted to lick it and taste it, but was whipped twice by the vicious foreman. His back still hurts till now.

"Big flower rabbit toffee..." Baofuka struggled to distinguish the words on the oiled paper, and thought slowly.

"The No. [-] Sugar Factory in Central South..."

Baofuka took off the oiled paper and looked at it. It was a white toffee block, and it still exuded a burst of milky fragrance.Baovka sniffed it up to his nose and stared at the toffee for a long time, but finally he was still reluctant to eat it by himself.Whether it is mother or elder brother, they have worked much harder than themselves. This toffee should be given to them first.

"By the way, they are heading for the town!" Baofuka remembered the direction of those cavalrymen. They were obviously going to the town. According to them, what kind of devils do they want to fight?Could it be that the rebels from the east are coming?

Baofuka immediately put the toffee in his pocket, and ran towards the town in big strides. He had to see what happened. After all, his family lived in a small village near the town, so he always had to go back and see.

Along the way, he ran back hard.More troops are still moving in this direction. He saw countless infantry walking forward with strange sticks, heading towards the town. This made Baovka even more nervous. He was afraid of these soldiers. To harm the town, but also let the common people suffer innocently.

The town was already full of noise at this time. Bovka stepped up and walked towards the street. Groups of cavalry and infantry soldiers were resting on the street. They simply sat on the ground and ate the food they brought. Dry food, even dare not do things like approaching the gates of other people's homes. Several people walked out of the house timidly, wanting to offer food for self-protection, but they were also rejected by the soldiers. Didn't accept anything, just simply, waiting for the order.

"Bovka!" the mother called from behind the family's window.

"Oh! Mom!" Baofuka hurriedly ran over there. It was the aunt's house. In the past, when it was raining or working overtime, the aunt would always let Baofuka come to her house to stay overnight and cook a pot for him. Stomach clear porridge to drink.

"What's the matter, Mom?" Baofuka ran back and asked.

"Your brother and aunt are not here, only your uncle is at home." Mother said nervously.

"Yes, your aunt hasn't come back yet, did something happen?" Uncle asked with a worried expression.

"No way, these people are actually pretty good..." Baofuka said disapprovingly.

"Folks!"

There was a man's shouting voice outside, and Bovka could hear it clearly. The voice was very familiar and powerful, and it was a voice that a young man could shout.

"Folks! Rupert who bought food! Barry who was like a pig, and old money Karma. They were all arrested by our Comrade Leszek! Those who owed money and those who had blood feuds, all Come with me!"

This shout hooked everyone's souls away. Everyone went out to see that it was a very familiar young man, Altai, who was Baovka's brother.

"Really caught?" An old man mustered up the courage to come out and asked cautiously.

"Yes, the folks in the town center have already gone to the square. If everyone arrives late, I'm afraid they won't be able to squeeze in front." Altai was very strong and strong. He rolled up the sleeves of both hands and put them on his hips He said to everyone with a smile.

"Brother!" Baofuka ran out of the aunt's house and shouted standing beside his brother.

"Baovka? What's the matter? It looks like you didn't go to work today?" Altai asked Baofuka.

"Brother, that bastard in Barry fired me, and just left these four copper coins to pay my salary for a month!" Baofuka angrily took out the four copper coins from his pocket, and spread them out to his brother Altai. Look at the road.

"The one returned was broken. It would be good if it was worth eight broken copper coins." Altai was also very angry after hearing this. He simply held Baofuka's hand and waved vigorously again and shouted.

"Folks, who else has been deducted like this, hurry up and go with me! Get all your wages back!"

This cry finally made everyone determined to take a look. Just based on the performance of these soldiers outside, they were not so scared, so scared.Everyone pushed the door out and followed Altai to the center of the town.

"Brother, you are really powerful! Since when have you been associated with these soldiers? Looking at you, you don't seem to be afraid of them at all. Have you been familiar with them for a long time?" Baofuka asked curiously and excitedly.

"You're too young to understand this matter." Altai said cheerfully as he wiped a handful of ashes on Baovka's face with a smile.

"The new ghostwriter in the town, have you forgotten that I often go to him every two days?"

"So?! That ghostwriter is one of these soldiers?" Baovka suddenly realized.

"No, it's not a soldier, it's Leszek." Altai smiled again, and continued to lead the people forward.The drumming of military music played on the street, and Bovka saw many soldiers marching forward with great pride.But he widened his eyes, but he couldn't find the familiar faces of the cavalrymen. It was so strange, where did those people go?

He saw those soldiers marching forward in neat steps, shouting slogans.They shouted, "Down with the imperial devils!" The slogan "Liberate the West, Central and South", and sang loud military songs from time to time, attracted the villagers on the street to stop and watch. Looking at these distinctive and lively fighters, they were curious. Watching their every word and deed.

In the middle of the square, those leaders, landlords, big businessmen, and grain merchants who caused harm to one side were all brought over. Their clothes were dirty, and some of them were barefoot.Obviously, he didn't have time to run away with the imperial devils stationed here. Many of them are "old acquaintances" in the eyes of the townspeople. If you count their crimes, it will be three days and three nights. not finished.

It's a pity that there are still some people who don't appear here.These people probably got the wind in advance, knowing that the first army was coming soon, so they ran away with the devil.If these guys also failed to make the run and were arrested, it would be a grand slam and they would all be captured.

"Let me ask you, Rupert. Last winter, the weather was cold and there was a monster disaster. My son worked hard for you for a year just to exchange a few bags of rice. You just used the excuse of no food Hoarding food, why do you say that if you waste it, you will waste it!"

An old farmer was standing in the middle of the square and asked that Rupert angrily and puffed up his chest.Rupert, this cunning and insidious grain merchant, faced the old farmer's questioning, but he hesitated to give a complete justification.

In the past, Rupert would have had a thousand and one ways to refute or deny the old farmer's questioning, but now the situation has reversed, and the First Army has come and liberated the town.He can no longer have the support of the backer and bully the people with arrogance like before.

200 Jiefang West Central South

"This...I..." Rupert hesitated for a long time and did not say a word. At this time, he was terrified. He really didn't expect that the First Army from the east would come when they said they would call.You know, a person like him must have no good end.

"My son worked so hard, but in the end he couldn't exchange for a rice bag! Not only that, you also hoarded grain and deliberately raised the price of grain. At that time the year before last, how many family members starved to death because of you!" The old farmer continued to say angrily .

"I'm not hoarding! It's all the request from the higher-ups, and it's the higher-ups who let me give priority to supplying to the army!"

Rupert panicked when he heard this. If it was just the deduction of wages, he could only be sentenced and rehabilitated. Then raising food prices and hoarding food in the court of the First Army would be a standard capital crime. up.

"You lied!" an old woman stood up and said.

"You didn't sell the grain to the army at all. Instead, you kept hoarding it in the grain store! All the workers in the grain store can testify to this!"

"Correct!"

"Correct!"

"He not only hoards food, but also buys and sells it!"

Some young people below were also angry. They waved their fists and cursed Rupert's crimes.

"Me! I mean folks! How can you do this!" Rupert trembled anxiously, knelt on the ground almost begging and said.

"No matter what you say, we are all from the west, central and south, and we are all from the same village. How can you frame me! How can you force me to die! Isn't this a joke for outsiders!?" Ruburt Special wailing said.

"Fellowship? Bah! Who is your fellowship!" The old farmer spat in front of Rupert with disdain.

"When you forced us to die, did you ever think that we are fellow villagers? When you deducted wages and bought and sold, did you ever think that we are all from the West, Central and South?"

"What outsiders, the First Army is our family!"

The aunt who worked in the sugar factory also stood up, and she waved her hand angrily, scolding Rupert for his sophistry.

"Comrades, be quiet, be quiet!" A soldier of the First Army hurriedly stood up and signaled everyone to be quiet and wait for the next call.

"Now, let the comrades who accompanied the judge of our First Army and the local representatives make the judgment together." The soldier said righteously.

Rupert turned his head back as if seeing a savior, and tried his best to look at the trial seat over there. He hoped to see some old faces, local officials, or squires.But after scanning around, Rupert once again fell into despair.Obviously, none of the local representatives could stand up and speak for him.

These representatives were all elected by the villagers present. They were all old workers and farmers, and some of them had worked against the landlords before.The ghostwriter who came here to investigate the situation has already found out clearly. He found the most oppressed folks and asked them to make the most fair judgment.

"Rupert, a grain merchant in Kecha Town. He has committed all sorts of crimes in the past few years. The known crimes include: hoarding grain during the grain shortage, driving up grain prices, deducting workers' wages, and even killing two workers who worked for him transport workers."

The ghostwriter, wearing glasses, stood up solemnly and read out.

"what?"

"Has he ever killed someone?"

"This bastard, I knew he had blood on his hands!"

"Could it be the two brothers from before..."

The folks started whispering, and they all remembered that last year, two strong young men who worked for Rupert accidentally disappeared during a grain transportation here. Now it seems that it should be Rupert's good deed.

"I didn't!" Rupert struggled fiercely, shouting resolutely in denial.

"Bring that comrade up." Mr. Ghostwriter said to the soldiers seriously.

A soldier also wearing a white military uniform and a five-star hat came out from the cavalry. He took off his hat, rushed to Rupert angrily, and said angrily, pulling his collar.

"Look carefully! Who am I!"

Rupert's heart almost stopped suddenly when he saw the soldier's face. He became frightened intermittently, and his pants were wet. Obviously, he was too frightened to control his part.

"You! How are you still alive?..."

"Hmph! At the beginning, in order to steal that sum of food and continue to maintain the illusion of food shortage, you intercepted us halfway and pushed my brother and me into the cliff! You are disappointed, I didn't die. I was pushed down After the cliff, I fell into the river by luck, and then went down the river with injuries, and floated to an old man's house." The soldier's face was full of anger, and his tone was filled with great resentment.

"After that, I heard about the existence of the Central South Government, so I rushed all the way there and became a soldier. I fought there for training, and when I followed the troops all the way to the central part, I dreamed of fighting back and killing you Bring the villain to justice! Today must be your death day!"

It was over now, and Rupert knew that no matter how much he quibbled, it was impossible for the soldiers of the First Army to spare his life.These people are different from other troops. When other troops come here, they must first deal with big families like them and continue to maintain local rule, but these people, these peasant bandits!What gangsters they are!Instead of speaking for them, he went to help those beggars.

"With the crime of buying and selling, illegal business operation (high price), violation of labor laws and regulations, and the crime of buying murder, the joint court pronounced a sentence and sentenced him to death. All the property will be used to compensate the victim's family members and comrades!"

"it is good!"

"it is good!"

"Long live!"

The folks below got excited, they applauded vigorously and cheered vigorously.The remaining guys did not escape this kind of sentence. The corruption and chaos in the area controlled by the Fafnir Legion was no less than that in the area controlled by the nobles. In the middle of the sentence, several representatives calculated that few people were innocent.They unite to form a circle of interests, fundamentally suppressing farmers and workers, forming an extremely oppressive and dark rule.Even if the deputies received a slightly lighter sentence later on, only one-third of the total escaped the death penalty.

This is really unheard of, the darkness here is more terrifying than most places the First Army has seen.There have been many such trials in many places in the West, Central and South.But there is no place where the sentence is more important than here. In many places, except for the chief criminal and the black bully, there are very few people who are sentenced to death and executed directly.The darkness here is more or less related to Fafnir's management.After all, there are many industrial factories gathered here, and it is the key training area for the Fafnir Legion.

Therefore, most of the people here are those who directly deal with the Fafnir Legion.Relying on their own background, they are naturally more unscrupulous.Even if some merchants and some landlords do not exploit enough of their subordinates, they will unite to exclude those kind-hearted people. It is true that bad money drives out good money.

"Yes, emancipation, not only for peasants and workers, but also for merchants, landlords, and all walks of life."

Altai folded his hips and announced loudly to the villagers below.

"From now on, we will really remove inequality and let everyone have a chance to live!"

"it is good!"

Under the leadership of those comrades who have been mentioned for development, the work in Kecha Town is in full swing.Everyone was full of energy, and even many small landowners and small businessmen felt relieved and felt liberated.In the past, they were oppressed by big landlords and big businessmen, and they had to exploit the lower class of workers and tenant farmers in order to survive.Now it seems that it is really debt-free!You don't have to worry about it, you don't have to do harm, and you don't have to think of ways to fix the money. It's really peaceful for the whole person.

Now they see it more open than anyone else, anyway, the First Army didn't completely confiscate all the things in their house, and left a copy for them to rely on themselves, or to ask those shops to do agency work.That's fine, and there's nothing to be afraid of.

Baofuka has never admired his brother more than now. He is extremely excited to see his brother leading the villagers to readjust the factory and re-dividing the fields.It was at this time that Baovka found the wish his child should have.He also wants to be a Leszek like his brother!

Unfortunately, he is only 12 years old this year, and his age is far from enough.Most of the soldiers of the First Army marched elsewhere to stabilize the surrounding fronts and continue the work of liberating the West, Central and South.As one of the important towns in the west, central and south, Kecha Town not only has several production factories, but also a major grain production area.In order to consolidate the work here, the First Army also left a lot of soldiers, and transformed from the first-line troops to the support troops.

Bovka saw the two cavalry soldiers again. The older soldier was named Feovich, and the younger one was named Simon.Both of them stayed in Kocha Township to work in food and industrial management.

Feovich and Simon like this 12-year-old little adult very much. They often tell Bovka about their experiences and knowledge, and tell about their fighting journey along the way.During that time, Baovka was thinking about it when he went home at night, dreaming about the cavalry.He often dreamed that he was riding a fast horse, wearing the same heroic and handsome military uniform and long boots, with the big brim hat inlaid with red five-pointed stars on his head, holding a short firecracker in one hand, and holding the reins in the other. , jumped down from the hillside.

He dreamed that he rushed all the way to the town, and that nasty boss, Barry, rolled in front of him begging for mercy.He also dreamed that he was also standing on the stage, judging those old fortunes for the villagers in high spirits.Underneath, there are also children's admiring and envious eyes.

201 frontier of struggle

To be honest, if Baofuka had to choose between a silver coin and a beautiful short-fire gun, Baofuka would definitely choose the latter without hesitation.He really wanted a pair of short-fired guns like Simon's, so good-looking, so handsome, if he had a pair of short-fired guns, he would be happy to keep him up for three days.

"Simon, lend me a look, lend me a look!"
