The Red Mansions Across the Four Seas

Chapter 489 Did Feng Ziying Run Away?
At this time, Pingyuan City, whether it is the old city or the new city, is in a state of panic.

The news that [-] Cossacks had assembled in Fort Sergei had already spread.

When the Cossacks arrived at Fort Sergei, they naturally wanted to attack the North Sea.This point has been proved by many years of experience.This time, there will be no exception.

Last year Jia Min wiped out [-] Cossacks in Tongyuan Fort, which made people excited for a while. At that time, everyone felt that Jia Min gave them a sigh of relief.

However, now some people's views have changed.

Some people think that because Jia Min offended my Cossacks last time, more Cossacks are now taking revenge.

As a result, some people, especially the natives in the old city, began to complain about people like Feng Ziying, and even Wei Song and Bogda, saying that they lured wolves into the house and left these foreigners for them. brought disaster.

In previous years, the [-]th day of August was a bustling time in Pingyuan City, but this year it was miserable.

Some people got scared and began to flee Pingyuan City, hiding in more remote places.

Some people who have just returned from nomadic pastoralism in other places are also planning to pack up again, catch up with the herds, and then migrate to a distant place, trying to avoid the iron hooves of the Cossacks.

It was the autumn harvest time, and the farmers who cultivated the land were not in the mood to pick up the crops in the field.Hesitating in panic every day.

Some want to leave, reluctant to part with the houses and crops here.Don't go, I'm afraid that the Cossacks will come and suffer.

Those civilians who came from Dade were also in a state of hesitation at this time.

They trekked through mountains and rivers, abandoned their families and came here just to find a place where they could settle down. Now that the Cossacks are coming, this fantasy will be shattered.

With the money they brought, they built a house here, opened up land, and opened a shop. Now that they have left, they have almost nothing in their hands.Even poorer than when I came here.

A more frightening news has been quietly circulating for the past two days.

Feng Ziying, Wei Ruolan and others ran back to Dade with about 2000 people.

Because people suddenly discovered that many people who used to be common here suddenly disappeared.

Ask others, and others don't know where they went.

Even if you ask the people who maintain the law and order here and those decent people in Xincheng, even including Lin Dajiang, you can't tell where those people have gone.

After a few days of patience, people finally couldn't help it.

The people in the old city, under the persuasion of Wei Song and Bogda, after a few days of patience, did not get a satisfactory answer, and could no longer bear it.

In the end, under the bewitching of Xila, the shopkeeper who opened the grocery store, hundreds of people gathered and went to Wei Song and Bogda to ask for an explanation.

Even many members of the Wei family and Bogda's family were involved.

From Wei Song and Bogda, naturally they couldn't discuss anything.So the two were coerced by the crowd and came to the new city together.

At this time, more than 1000 people have gathered, and even some people from Han have joined the ranks of the locals.The compound where Feng Ziying and others work is surrounded.

However, they also gathered outside the courtyard and did not go inside.

It's not that they don't want to go in, but because the people from the Fubingtuan have been summoned by Lin Dajiang to maintain order here.

Some of these former Fubing regiment soldiers held firecrackers, bows and arrows, and some held wooden clubs. Although there were only about two hundred soldiers, their murderous aura was still daunting.

These people who came to make trouble, all of a sudden, they didn't just make trouble.

"Fellow folks, let me tell you again, Chief of Staff Feng and the others have gone out to inspect the construction of cities and towns in various places, and they will be back in a few days."

Lin Dajiang tried his best to suppress his anger and explained patiently.

He naturally knew that Feng Ziying had led people to fight, but at present it was still a secret operation.If it is publicized and the Cossack spies know about it, it will be troublesome.

"Yes, folks, it won't be long before they will come back."

Sun Yuanfei also explained.

"Why come back? They left us long ago and ran away secretly."

"It was you who provoked the Cossacks. Now they are coming to take revenge. You ran away, but left us to suffer. Please give us an explanation."

People are talking in a hurry, all of them are angry.

"Fellow folks, we can't talk like this. Last year, Jia Guerzhan beat the Cossacks, and it was for our own good. If he didn't defeat Michurin, would we still be able to live a good life now? Michurin would have ruined it long ago. I don't know what it looks like."

"Wei Song, don't speak for them. You are from Han, so naturally you don't have the same heart with us."

Sheila was still standing behind, but now she no longer hesitated and jumped out.

"Sheila, what's your name? Although my Wei family is Han Chinese, it has been here for thousands of years. This was originally our Wei family's territory. You have only been here for a few days?"

Sheila was so refuted that she was speechless, she was dumb for a while, and then spoke again.

"Even if you are of one mind, what should we do now? The Cossacks are coming, they are foreigners, they can lift their asses and leave, what should we do if we are natives?"

When Sheila said this, Wei Song couldn't speak anymore.

This time Feng Ziying secretly led the army to meet the enemy. In addition to discussing the strategy of luring the enemy with Toke in advance, and deliberately staged a bitter trick of quarreling and fighting at the banquet that night, in order to keep it secret, even Wei Song and Bogda All concealed the truth.

This is not to distrust them, but to make the scene more realistic and to deceive the Cossack spies.

Now, even Wei Song and Bogda have doubts about whether Feng Ziying and others have escaped secretly.

However, they did not believe that Feng Ziying would escape.

After dating for such a long time, I feel that Feng Ziying is not such a person. Besides, they still have a lot of property here, how can they just throw it away?

Bogda stood up.

"Sheila, don't confuse people. Feng Ziying will not leave. He will definitely find a way to deal with the Cossacks. Those people still have so much property here, how could they run away?"

"Bogda, when you mentioned property, I remembered it. Since the Cossacks came to avenge the Han people, it has nothing to do with us. Isn't Feng Ziying's property here? Those women were delivered to the Cossacks in exchange for our safety."

"I see which one of you dares to move?"

Lin Dajiang drank loudly.

"Yes, I see which one of you dares to move?"

The soldiers of the government corps also shouted one after another.

"Sheila, do you think the Cossacks will let you go if you hand over your property and women? You think too simply."

Sun Yuanfei stood up.

"The Cossacks are here to find you Han people, so what does it matter to us?"

Sheila was still irrational, but she was obviously a little guilty.

"Sheila, you don't know how to blush when you say this? How long have we been here? When we didn't come, how few Cossacks came? At that time, you still count on us? Sheila, don't think We don't know your intentions, so you better stop thinking about yourself."

"Sun Yuanfei, don't frame good people. I'm thinking of the people of Pingyuan City. How can I have any little plans of my own?"

"I still said no, didn't you miss the Huaiyuan in Jiujiu? Didn't you miss the land of the wharf a long time ago? You think you have a chance now, let me tell you, don't dream as soon as possible."

"What? This old boy, and this ghost? Sheila, I think you are tired of work."

Lin Dajiang took out the firecracker, aimed at the sky, and fired a shot.

"This land was bought by Chief Min at the time, and the Huaiyuan was the name of our Chief Min. What are you, you dare to think about it? Brothers of the Fubingtuan, listen to my order, who dares to touch every plant here? Mu, shoot me to death. Did you hear me?"

"I heard."

"Lin Dajiang, don't scare me. With so many people here, are we still afraid of you?"

Sheila saw that her thoughts had been exposed, and she could no longer get off the stage. At this moment, she wanted to kidnap those villagers and stand with him.

These villagers didn't know the truth, they just cared about their own safety when the Cossacks came.After being bewitched by Sheila and others, she already believed Feng Ziying's escape with some people.

At this time, seeing that the talks between the two sides were deadlocked, the anger was getting bigger and bigger, and the originally suppressed emotions also broke out, and my heart was full of dissatisfaction and hatred towards Lin Dajiang and others.All the reasons why the Cossacks came were attributed to these Han people.

Those who came from the interior of Dade were already worried, but Feng Ziying and others still did not appear at this time, and seeing that Lin Dajiang seemed to be playing tricks, they also felt that they were tricked by Feng Ziying and others to come here.After hesitating for a while, he tended to believe what Sheila said.

He believes that only by handing over his property and women can he keep himself safe.After weighing it, he stood with Sheila.

At this time, the members of the Fubingtuan became a minority instead.

"Yes, Lin Dajiang, don't scare us. With so many of us, are we still afraid of you?"

Seeing these Han people standing with her, Sheila became more dependent.

"Brothers in Han, you have been fooled. They tricked you into coming here, but they ran away with their property and left you here."

"Sheila, shut up, and if you dare to spread rumors and make false accusations, I will kill you."

"Lin Dajiang, can you kill me and kill all these people? Do you have ghosts in your heart and want to kill people to silence them? Brothers, don't worry, just grab everything. When the Cossacks come, hand them over. Give it to them, and keep your family safe."

"Fu Bingtuan, get ready for battle, anyone who dares to make a move will be shot to death!"

Lin Dajiang had no way out. If these people robbed this place today, not only would they not be able to explain to Chief of Staff Feng, but the reputation and authority of the Fubingtuan here would also be greatly damaged.

"Sheila, calm down."

"Sheila, don't be fooled."

Wei Song and Bogda also came out to persuade them.

"Wei Song, Bogda, you are all from Pingyuan City, you should stand with us, you can't betray us just because they have given you benefits, folks, what are you waiting for, do it?"

The situation is about to explode. At this moment, the vast majority of people are still watching. As long as one person takes the lead, it will trigger a frenzy of looting.

Just as people were waiting for the first person to make a move, there was a burst of gong sound.

The sound of gongs came from the direction of the old city, getting closer.
