Lord Moyu was forced to open

Chapter 357 Entering the Camp (four thousand chapters)
No matter how many mobs there are, they are just mobs. After the leader is beheaded with a knife, the rest are just scattered sand.

It took less than a day for 20 flat Japanese troops to enter the city, and it took less than a day to control all [-] rioters.

The unorganized miners and rioters are just a group of lambs waiting to be slaughtered, and they can't even resist, so they are easily arrested.

Daxing County has restored order, but the damage caused by these 20 rioters has been irreversible.

A large number of mine owners in the city were bloodbathed, and the county magistrate and county magistrate were even hung high on bamboo poles in the county government office.

When Li Dingguo and others put them down together with the corpses of the mine owners, the corpses were almost dry.

The entire Daxing County is full of ruins and ruins. After the angry miners entered the city, they wreaked havoc, and everything needed to be rebuilt.

After Li Dingguo passed on the news of the successful suppression of the chaos, the court's decree came soon.

He Xini, the former county magistrate of Daxing County, took over the post of magistrate of Daxing County, and the other two chief officials will be sent from Bianjing in the near future.

This is the result of a compromise between all parties in the court. The literati who have been guarding against the penetration of imperial power into the local area can tolerate the emperor adding sand to Daxing County, but the highest official must still be theirs.

Otherwise, with He Xini, a county magistrate with little political achievements, and a county magistrate who ran fast when the rioters attacked the city, it would be good if he was not punished, and let him go two ranks to become the county magistrate?
The imperial court made arrangements for the pacified Daxing County. Li Dingguo did not stay any longer, and planned to return to the other side of the river with 20 captives, but He Xini was unwilling at this time.

It turned out that he was just a county lieutenant, and it had nothing to do with him where the 20 rioters went.

But he is now the county magistrate, a county parent official, whose main task is the people's livelihood of a county.

Since ancient times, Daxing County has depended on the mining industry for its livelihood. What does mining need?
People!

No one will mine for you?
Although the 20 rioters rebelled, the leader of the bandits is dead now. Furthermore, if the 20 miners are lost, it means that Daxing County, which has been hit hard, will not be able to function directly!

Without the miners, he can't even open a mine. He still wants to rely on mining to restore the economy of Daxing County!
However, regarding the ownership of these 20 people, Li Dingguo did not give in, and directly gave him a sentence:

"This is a prisoner of our Pingwa army. How to deal with it is our business. You have no right to comment."

Just kidding, the main purpose of their coming this time is for these people, and saving Daxing County is just incidental.

If these people were not brought back, wouldn't they have come in vain?

This man, Li Dingguo, must not be let go!

He Xini was in a hurry, but in the end, after Li Dingguo had a good talk with him with "reasons" with a "smile and kindness", he could only cry and watch the 20 green certificates in Daxing County being taken away by Li Dingguo.

He also knew that Li Dingguo and others were going to repair the embankment in Bian'an County. He only hoped that Li Dingguo could return the 20 people to Daxing County after the embankment was completed.

But for this point, Li Dingguo just showed a big smile politely.

According to what our lord said, we have to be gluttons when we are outside, how could we spit it out for you if we got it in our stomachs!
This is 20 young and strong!You can put it anywhere, I have no shortage of food in Yunzhou County!
On the east bank of the Bian River, Zhou Lin looked at the west bank and lamented day by day. He didn't know what was going on with General Li and whether he could bring him back.

He didn't just sit around these days. He still went to various towns and towns to try his best, but the results were still not satisfactory, and no one was willing to come to help.

The power of the Zhao family is terrifying!
Now he can only put all his hopes on Li Dingguo.

Today is the sixth day since Dajun left. At the beginning, Li Dingguo said that he would be able to return in seven days at most, but it seemed that there was only one day left, and he didn't know if he would be able to return on time.

The sun in the sky had already set to the west, and this day was about to pass again. When the disappointed Zhou Lin turned around and was about to go back to his tent, an official who was following him suddenly pointed to the other side of the river and shouted loudly:

"Zhou Shilang! Zhou Shilang! I'm back! I'm back!"

Zhou Lin was startled, and hurriedly turned his head. Sure enough, facing the afterglow of the setting sun, a large group of people appeared in the sight of the other side of the river. Looking at the flag flying high in the army, it was not the Pingwa Army, but who else!

General Li is really back!

Zhou Lin was overjoyed, and hurriedly shouted: "Hurry up, arrange a boat to take them across the river! Take them across the river!!!"

……

After more than 20 people crossed the river with all of them, it was completely dark. Fortunately, they had already made preparations. All of the more than 20 people crossed the river smoothly, and the camps prepared for them were already prepared.

On the bank of the Bian River.

The night wind was blowing, and the spring night was still relatively cool, so Zhou Lin couldn't help wrapping his clothes tightly.

After arranging for the last boat to cross the river, Zhou Lin came to Li Dingguo who had just crossed the river with the last boat. He took a bowl of hot soup from the officer next to him, handed it over, and said with a smile:

"General Li has worked hard, but he did not expect that the general actually brought back 20 people in just six days.

Now it's all right, we have the manpower to repair the embankment, and we can finally start work! "

The excitement on Zhou Lin's face was hard to hide. God knows how anxious he was during this time.

After taking the hot soup and testing the temperature, it was just right. Li Dingguo immediately drank the whole bowl of hot soup in a few gulps. After feeling that the cold on his body was much less, Li Dingguo said with a long sigh of relief:
"It's just that the people were forced to rebel, and the army was easily pacified as soon as it arrived. If it hadn't been for wrangling with the magistrate of Daxing County, they would have returned in a day or two.

These 20 people are obviously our captives, but he still wants to prevent us from taking them away, and turned against him!
If you insist on toasting, you will not eat fine wine!snort! "

When Zhou Lin heard this, his expression froze immediately, and he felt a bad feeling in his heart, so he hurriedly asked, "What did the general do to let the county magistrate release him?"

Seeing his cautious appearance, Li Dingguo couldn't help being a little funny, but he just said: "It's nothing, just talk to him about the reason, and he agrees!"

"Just making sense?"

"Well, it makes sense!"

"really?"

"Nonsense! It must be true!"

Zhou Lin breathed a sigh of relief.

He Xini, who was tied to the yamen beam and hung on the beam of the yamen in Daxing County for a whole night, sent a "friendly" greeting!
After confirming that the personnel came from "normal", Zhou Lin's expression became excited again, watching the crowd entering the camp one after another excitedly said:
"In the afternoon, I have already sent a signal to Bianjing. At most, before tomorrow, the first batch of money, grain and supplies will go down the Bianhe River. After we unload them, we can start building the embankment directly!"

"Is it not time tomorrow?" Li Dingguo murmured a few words, then asked:

"Has Zhao's family made any other moves in the past two days?"

Zhou Lin was taken aback when he heard the words, but still shook his head and said, "No, nothing unusual happened these days."

However, Li Dingguo shook his head and said: "I always feel that the Zhao family will not just let it go like this, maybe they will come after us as soon as we start work!"

Zhou Lin was startled when he heard this, and hurriedly said, "No, what else can they do?"

Li Dingguo shook his head: "I don't know, but there are too many things we can do. The Zhao family in Bian'an County is the one who is bowing their heads. We have neither intelligence nor relationship, so we can only proceed carefully.

Starting tomorrow, I will release my subordinates ten miles away. If the Zhao family makes any moves, we will have a little time to react.

Zhou Shilang, you have to be careful on your side. Although the boat is going by water, you have to remind the other side to be careful of the Zhao family doing things along the way.

At that time, if the food and supplies cannot be delivered, then we will be unable to do anything! "

"I understand that I will inform them to make arrangements early, and the rest will be left to General Lao!"

"nothing."

Li Dingguo waved his hand, and then separated from Zhou Lin to go back to rest. After walking for a day, and tossing and tossing at night, he is also tired now, and wants to rest early.

Zhou Lin didn't continue pestering him, and started to arrange other things. The project will start soon. The arrangements for 20 people, food, drink, and so on are all complicated things. He has to figure out a plan before the official start of work, otherwise everything will be in a hurry.

In the miners' camp.

Although the lights have been extinguished, people are still awake.

Having just arrived in a strange place, coupled with their current status as captives, even the most serious people may not be able to fall asleep.

Everyone felt a little uneasy, and even more confused and fearful about the way ahead.

"Brother Shanzi! Brother Shanzi! Are you asleep yet?"

Suddenly, a subdued shout sounded from the tent.

"not yet."

The young man named Brother Shanzi was lying on the floor and staring blankly at the top of the tent and responded.

There was a movement around him, and the next moment a black shadow squeezed beside Shanzi.

Smelling the smell of this man, Shan Zi immediately recognized that this is the little Li Goudan from his own village!

This kid has body odor since he was a child, although it is not heavy, he still has it, and he can smell it when he gets close.

"God, what are you doing if you still don't sleep? Be careful to be caught by the soldiers outside, and you'll be finished with a knife!"

Shan Zi whispered.

Li Goudan hurriedly shook his head and said:
"Brother Shanzi, I can't sleep.

Is that the Bian River we crossed at night?
I've heard about Bianhe, so we're not in northern Hunan anymore. What are we doing here by those soldiers? I'm so upset that I can't sleep. "

"Me too!"

"Me too!"

Li Goudan's words immediately aroused the echo of everyone in the tent.

Xu Shi's voice was a little louder, and the shouts of the soldiers of the Pingwa Army came from outside the tent immediately: "What are you arguing about! Be quiet!"

As he spoke, he heard two thumps, and the soldiers of the Pingwa Army outside took the weapons in their hands and patted the camp tent twice, immediately quieting everyone in the camp.

After a while, Shan Zi whispered: "Okay, don't worry about it, I heard Tan Mo talking during the day, as if he wanted us to repair the embankment.

It's better to build the embankment than to be killed. I heard that those who made rebellions in the past had their heads beheaded by those who suppressed the rebellion.

We are lucky this time, they need people to repair the embankment, otherwise maybe the guy on our head has already become someone else's military exploits. "

Shan Zi's words scared everyone in the camp to breathe, and they subconsciously stopped breathing for a few seconds, and then gradually relaxed.

"Hoohoo, that's good. When the river embankment is built, the river embankment will be repaired. I have been there when our village built the canal before. It should be similar. It will be good to repair it when the time comes."

Li Goudan felt relieved, but his tone was much more relaxed than before.

Shan Zi didn't say anything more, just sighed.

After a while, everyone in the camp center gradually fell asleep, and the sound of snoring rang out in the tent one after another.

But Shan Zi still didn't fall asleep, staring blankly at the dark top of the tent, thinking about something.

"Working has never been difficult, but I don't know if there is any food to eat this time. This is working for the government. In the past, many people starved to death when they were in corvée!
This is the most uncomfortable! "

As night fell, Shan Zi fell into a deep sleep with doubts in his arms.

……

The next day.

As the sun rose and the rooster crowed for the third time, everyone was awakened.

All the captives were driven out of the camp, and they walked towards one place under the leadership of the soldiers of the Pingwa Army.

Li Goudan rubbed his sleepy eyes, and subconsciously followed the team. After a while, he regained consciousness and asked Shanzi in doubt:

"Brother Shanzi, where are you taking us this early in the morning?"

Shan Zi shook his head: "I don't know, maybe I'm going to work, I'll know when I get there."

Li Goudan's expression drooped immediately when he heard the words, he clutched his stomach and said:
"Ah, go straight to work?

But...but I'm hungry.

I was crossing the river last night, and I was driven back to the camp without eating anything. I went to work early in the morning. I was so hungry. "

Shan Zi immediately said in a bad mood:

"Okay, let's say a few words less, you can't die from starving you twice, it's better than being hacked to death directly.

When you're working, if you really don't have the strength, just sneak around for a while, don't be too obvious, otherwise no one will be able to save you if you are found out, do you hear me? "

"All right!"

Li Goudan nodded dejectedly and said nothing more.

The two followed the team like this, all the way to the very center of the camp.

This is a huge school field, which was specially leveled out.

As soon as I turned back here, a scent of fragrance wafted over, and the sound of stomach gurgling and hungry in the venue suddenly came and went!
Li Godan is the best among them, squinting his eyes and sniffing the smell in the air, Li Goudan said in surprise:
"Brother Shanzi! It's porridge! It definitely tastes like porridge!

This taste!There is still a lot of porridge!Is it for dinner? "

Li Goudan had a look of expectation on his face.

With hesitation on Shanzi's face, he said uncertainly: "Maybe, but it's also possible that it's just for those soldiers, don't we?"

Li Goudan was stunned when he heard the words, and said, "Impossible!"

Shan Zi shook his head, and didn't say anything more, so Li Goudan could only look forward with a nervous voice.

Just as the crowd was commotion after smelling the fragrance, a cavalryman of the Pingwa Army rode back and forth and shouted loudly:
"Everyone! Line up and get the breakfast food in an orderly manner. The bowls you eat this time are for the guys who eat in the future. Keep them for yourself. If you lose them, you can eat them with your hands in the future!
Don't mess!be quiet!Take your meal quietly!

If there are troublemakers, go hungry! "

As soon as the words came out, everyone was overjoyed immediately, and then quickly lined up in dozens of rows in front of the dozens of food places in the front, waiting quietly to receive the food.

No one dared to speak loudly. They were hungry all night yesterday, and their stomachs were already growling. No one wanted to be denied food for making noises.

All obediently and quietly led their meals.
