Griffin Commander in the Late Ming Dynasty

The people are very simple and have not received much education. Their cultural level is basically equal to that of prenatal education. They know nothing about class or economics. All they can understand is the hatred that is exposed.

Sometimes they don't even know where their money and food have gone after working so hard for most of their lives. They can only blame the world and the injustice of God.

Facing these landlords, the people were filled with hatred in their hearts. There was no one who did not hate the landlords, because these people were so bad that they had pus on their feet and sores on their heads. Even though some of them were relatively rare moderates, their methods were definitely not any better.

Because of the natural conflict of interests, what the landlords want is to acquire the most land with the lowest possible price, and the continuous natural disasters give them considerable room for maneuver.

By hoarding grain and driving up grain prices, these officials and landlords bought large tracts of land from desperate farmers at a very low price. As for the lives of the farmers whose land was bought, who cared?

Perhaps there are some kind-hearted people among them who are so good-hearted that they cannot stand seeing poor people within a radius of ten miles. They will drive out all these poor people who have lost their land and let them fend for themselves.

Ancient times were different from modern times. Even if you walked out of a certain range in the city, you were still within the scope of human urban activities. In ancient times, if you left the gathering place, you would come to the wild. The wild in ancient times was quite dangerous, unlike modern times. In ancient times, there were jungles everywhere and herds of wild beasts. There were tigers running everywhere and wild boars everywhere. Especially in years of disaster, nothing could grow on the land and animals starved to death one after another. A large number of wild beasts, unable to find food in the mountains, came down the mountains to try their luck.

It can be said that for these farmers who have nothing but a hoe as their weapon, when they are rushed to such a dangerous wilderness, their fate is almost no other choice but to slide.

It can be said that everyone was extremely jealous of each other when they met their enemies, and now the volunteers have exposed the deeds of these beasts in full, expanding the imagination of the people.

They could never imagine that this bunch of landlords could be so evil. What is a meat screen? What is a beauty bowl? Every one of these things is so horrifying and unbelievable that anyone who hears them would get hard and their fists would harden.

For this execution, Jiang Han came up with a completely new method. He also realized that the number of people this time was indeed a bit too many. Thanks to Jin Laosan's excellent undercover ability, the wealthy families captured in this operation, along with their servants, executioners, and family members with unclean hands, totaled hundreds of people, while there were less than eight registered executioners in Yangzhou City.

Eight people chopped off hundreds of heads. The blades of their swords would become blunt and the people would be crippled. Even landlords would not employ their people in this way.

Therefore, Jiang Han divided these prisoners according to the severity of their crimes. Those with serious crimes were beheaded by the executioner, while those with minor crimes were taken to the guillotine.

Some people may ask what's new about this? Of course, it's the new method. Jiang Han also noticed the extremely high enthusiasm of the people present. In order to give the audience some participation, Jiang Han specially designed some interactive measures.

For example, there is a lottery for executioners, where a lucky audience member is randomly picked to go on stage to carry out the execution. Of course, these people are placed on the guillotine, and they are asked to use a gavel to hit the mechanism that controls the guillotine to fall.

The other part selected those people whose families were broken up and whose wives died due to the landlords' purchase of land, gave them a top-grade steel knife, and asked them to kill their enemies with their own hands.

"Okay, then our third lottery is about to begin!! Which lucky person will get this rare opportunity to execute Mr. Lin's death sentence!!! Friends in front, let me see your hands!!"

The crowd below the stage was surging, everyone was vying for the first place, raising their hands excitedly, but it was hard for the volunteer soldiers to stop this group of people who were as excited as chickens.

"Okay, my friends here are very welcoming. It's you! This young man wearing linen clothes and a green turban! It's you!"

As soon as he opened his mouth, I knew he was an old emcee.

The selected young man pointed at himself and looked like he was having a hard time executing the task, but soon he walked onto the stage with excitement and trembling hands.

"Come on young man, let me interview you. Where are you from?"

“I am a native of Yangzhou”

"Oh, you're a local! This is really not easy. I saw you were very excited in the audience. Do you know this Mr. Lin?"

"I know him. I'd recognize him even if he turned into ashes."

The young man almost gritted his teeth as he looked at the man who was swaying under the guillotine.

"Oh, it seems there is a connection between these two. Can we hear your story?"

When Jiang Han heard this, he thought, wow, if they catch someone, they will get a melon to eat.

"My name is Jiang Lin, and I am the fourth child in my family. Although my family is not well-off, we have a few acres of land, so we can live a decent life. My wife is virtuous and beautiful. We should be a perfect match made in heaven."

"But he! He relied on his connections with the ministers in the court to take my wife and my land. My wife couldn't bear the humiliation in his house and hanged herself. My mother was beaten by his servants and died soon after. This blood debt is unforgivable!"

Si.......!!

Jiang Han retreated tactically. He only called the wrong name, not the wrong hat. Your headscarf has this meaning? You beast Lin Yuanwai, what is the difference between you and that Cao thief?

Disgusting! So disgusting! You can even piao! Spend some money! It won’t cost much! So disgusting!

"I didn't expect that our young man had such a connection with this beast. Very good, now we have to take revenge for our grievances and revenge for our grudges. Today is the day to settle the blood debt of several years! Come, take this hammer, and when you are ready, hit this mechanism, and your revenge will be avenged!"

Jiang Lin took a few deep breaths and clenched the gavel that Jiang Han handed to him in his hand, as if he was gripping Mr. Lin's head.

Taking a few deep breaths to dispel the numbness in his hands, Jiang Lin's eyes widened with anger, and he used all his strength to smash the mechanism hard! The heavy blade fell from the air, accompanied by the exclamations of the crowd, and with a click, Mr. Lin's head rolled to the ground.

Jiang Lin looked at Mr. Lin's headless body with tears in his eyes.

"Xiao Cui, mother...I will avenge you today!"

After hosting for a while, Jiang Han replaced someone else and went down to drink some tea to moisten his throat and take a break, as he had other things to do later.

"Sir, why do you use this method to execute someone? It feels a little weird..."

Pei Huayu found it difficult to understand this variety show which was a little too trendy for today's human beings.

"Is there anything special about inviting someone to the stage to carry out the execution?"

Jiang Han paused with his hand holding the tea. 416 next to him looked at him with amusement. It was nothing special. It was just that his commander was having a seizure again. When he proposed the idea which he thought was genius, the expressions on the faces of all the humanoids present were as wonderful as Pei Huayu's now.

"Look, the people got their revenge, I got the money, the audience had fun, and no one got hurt! This is the end of the world!"

I can only say that Griffin is lucky to have such a commander.

"Well... Xiao Pei, you have been following me for many days. I am quite confident in your abilities. You can think about the reason for this matter slowly."

Jiang Han opened his mouth and started to deceive Pei Huayu.

Listening to Jiang Han's words, Pei Huayu fell into thought.

"Your Excellency must have a deep meaning behind this. I need to think carefully about what the secret is here......?"

Pei Huayu frowned as she looked at the stage. She used to be a woman who had never done any housework, and she almost fainted at the sight of such a bloody and violent scene. However, after seeing those bloody documents, her heart was filled with surging hatred.

How can people be so bad?

So why did the adults let the public go up to carry out the punishment? Apart from making the scene more chaotic, what other considerations were there?

Pei Huayu pondered over and over but could not find the solution.

Manager Zhang, who was standing by, saw that the underachieving student was thinking hard but couldn't figure out what his boss (no, now it should be called Mr.) was thinking, and he stroked his beard, feeling somewhat smug.

He has always been the one who understands the master the best. Manager Zhang has followed Jiang Han for the longest time, and he also claims that no one understands the master better than him. As early as after Mr. Dong... gave the order, Manager Zhang quickly discovered the deep meaning behind the master's move.

Seeing that the boss's cup of tea was almost finished, this stupid and dull woman still couldn't figure out the master's brilliant ideas. Manager Zhang was so anxious that it seemed as if Senior Sister Mai was crawling on him.

"Cough cough..."

He pretended to cough to attract Pei Huayu's attention. Seeing Pei Huayu's puzzled look, he sighed and thought, "Never mind, never mind. After all, we will be colleagues working together in the future."

"Miss Pei, why don't you pay more attention to those who are chosen to carry out the punishment?"

He could only give this much advice. It depends on whether you have enough understanding. If you want to work for your boss, you can't do it without enough understanding! Little girl! Your awareness is not enough yet!

"Who will carry out the punishment?"

At this moment, a flash of inspiration seemed to appear in Pei Huayu's mind. Jiang Han beside her looked at the conversation between the two with a confused look on his face.

The chosen one...what happened?

He quietly asked 416 in the channel: "Is there something wrong with the person who will carry out the punishment?"

"Didn't you just pick it randomly? You ask me?"

"Yes, I just picked it randomly... But... Why do I always feel like I'm the only one who can't do it?"

Yup!

Pei Huayu slammed her palm hard. Yes! She watched the people come up on the stage one by one. Some of them smashed the machine with hammers, and some carried steel knives and hacked at the scum until they were covered in blood. Then they burst into tears. After being taken over by the volunteers, she saw the gentleman's eager face and understood!

Most of those selected to carry out the punishment were young and strong, including some women, who were in good physical condition.

(Jiang Han: When I was selecting, I had to choose someone who looked in better health. Otherwise, if someone got excited and died on the stage, who would be left?)

Almost all of these people have a blood feud with these officials and wealthy families.

(Of course, you have to thank these landlords for their kindness. Which common people don’t have a grudge against them?)

Since ancient times, the hatred of killing one's father and stealing one's wife have been irreconcilable hatreds. Sir, this move helps them to take revenge with their own hands, and then compensates them with land. It is like a spring breeze and rain, and a timely help. The hearts of these people can be won over with almost no effort!

Afterwards, with just a little guidance and some training, we can greatly expand the organization of our volunteer army. Moreover, all of these people have killed people and seen blood with their own hands, so they will naturally overcome the psychological barrier. In a short time, we can form a new army with strong will!

It's really wonderful! It's wonderful!

Thank you for your advice, sir! I understand!

Pei Huayu looked at Manager Zhang with gratitude, and Manager Zhang looked at Pei Huayu with relief in his eyes.

"Very good, you finally understood. My efforts were worth it. This path is difficult, and you still need to work harder."

"Yes! I will definitely live up to your high expectations!"

The two looked at each other and smiled, just like Boya meeting Ziqi, like meeting a soulmate in the mountains and rivers.

Jiang Han looked at Manager Zhang, then at Pei Huayu, with a question mark almost popping out of his head.

What do you understand? What do you understand?

Beast! What on earth do you know! ! Riddler, get out of Gotham City! !

The atmosphere in the city was extremely enthusiastic, and after days of trekking, Wang Dang's carriage finally arrived at the city of Yangzhou.

Arriving almost at the same time with him were the people from Jinan who had been traveling for many days, heading south with their families. They looked at the walls of Yangzhou and almost shed tears. They had finally arrived and could finally find a place to settle down!

Volume 188: Chapter Chapter : Disaster is coming

"Finally...it's finally here. I must take a good bath and ask the commander to make me lots of delicious food."

Long-distance marches are a piece of cake for the humanoids, but it is the first time for them to evacuate with so many ordinary people.

Humanoids don't need to eat, don't need to rest, are not afraid of the night, and can continue to move as long as they have enough energy. But humans are different. Humans are very fragile. Long-term malnutrition has caused their physical condition to be unable to exercise too quickly. They need a considerable amount of food to maintain daily exercise. Due to the problem of dietary structure, most people have very serious night blindness. At night, it is pitch black in front of their eyes and they can't see anything. They have to make repairs. In addition, there are children who have to give birth halfway, and the elderly who can't walk anymore and fall on the side of the road. All kinds of messy problems really make the humanoids exhausted.

Fortunately, the commander was quite reliable and sent someone to pick them up. Both sides ran in opposite directions and finally met each other halfway.

Humans are fragile, but also strong. After seeing the reception team, these refugees from Jinan City seemed to see the hope of survival. Unimaginable strength burst out from their bodies, driving them to speed up and move quickly towards Yangzhou, which represented the hope of life.

Someone once said that hope is more precious than gold.

"Have someone receive the refugees. Let them take a bath first, and then place them in the houses of the landlords. After they have rested, take them to register their household registration, and then consider unified arrangements. Remember, food must be provided in place."

When Pei Huayu entered the room, she saw Jiang Han giving instructions to a manager.

"No problem, sir"

The manager nodded. He was previously in charge of resettling the refugees recruited in the manor. This was the first time he was assigned such a big job. However, Jiang Han was short of talent at the moment, so he could only make do with them. After all, the others didn't even have any work experience.

"Sir, is there any new important work?"

Seeing the manager hurried out, Pei Huayu asked.

"Oh yeah, I almost forgot about you, Xiao Pei. Remember to record it. There are probably several thousand refugees coming to Jinan City. The resettlement work is in the charge of Manager Wang who just left. You need to make a backup for the coordination of various departments. Write down the names of the main responsible persons and find someone to follow up on the progress."

"Jinan City? It's quite far from here. How did the refugees from there get here?"

Pei Huayu was a little surprised. She had heard a little about the war in Jinan, but logically speaking, the refugees in Jinan should have gone to other big cities in Shandong. Why would they come all the way to Yangzhou?

"Oh, I sent a team to rescue a group of people when Jinan fell, but I didn't bring many people with me, so I could only bring this many people."

Jiang Han was still a little dissatisfied with the fact that he could only bring so few people, but he still wanted to reward his wives who had worked so hard. They had been fighting and running around in the past few days. You are tired and I am in pain. I am so heartbroken as a husband!

Sent a team? Rescue the people? The amount of information contained in these two words was quite large, and Pei Huayu was immediately stumped.

Sending a team means...? Rescuing the people means...?

Could it be that the gentleman had already predicted that the Tartars would invade Jinan, so he sent people to bring people out of the city in advance?

It couldn't be that he was kidnapped by the Tartars, right? It shouldn't be that perverted.

"Auntie, you look exhausted. Where did you come from? I heard that Yangzhou is not peaceful either."

Wang Dang quietly hid in the team heading towards Yangzhou City, trying to find out some information, such as where did these people come from? Were they driven here from other places? He received the news that his close friend suddenly betrayed his country and became independent. He was stunned at the time and wanted to come back to stop the conflict. He knew that his friend's men were absolutely strong. If they fought, it would be a 100% loss for both sides. No matter who won, the other side would not feel good.

Today's people in Yangzhou can no longer withstand the ravages of war.

When he arrived, he found out that Yangzhou City had been captured in just a few days. Now he needed to collect the required information as soon as possible.

“We came from Jinan…”

"Jinan? That's quite far away. I heard that place was attacked by the Jiannu."

"Yes... those damned Jian slaves are simply not human. After entering the city, they killed everyone they saw... My son..."

As the old woman spoke, sad memories were brought back to her mind, and she couldn't help crying in the street.

It doesn't matter if she cries, but the people traveling with her are not happy about it. These refugees who came from Jinan had left their homes and were already worried about whether they could adapt to the new environment. It's the most sensitive time for them. You, a grown man, are bullying an old woman. Why do you think we have no one in Jinan?

"Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, it's not like that... I just want to ask where you are coming from."

Seeing several people surrounding him, Wang Dang hurriedly explained, but how could the people around him believe him?

"What nonsense are you talking about? Asking where someone came from can make them cry? You are not only a bully, but you are also dishonest!"
