When Wang Dun'er's brigade reappeared outside Hukou Town following the correct path. It was like a storm that had fallen out of thin air and was unstoppable, quickly extinguishing the violent and wanton atmosphere that filled the town and above the hustle and bustle.
And after those who tried to intercept and ambush, were successively crushed and shredded by the rigorous army formations, there was only one place that had been chopped, smashed, and overturned, as well as the top of the wall. The figure that cried father and mother rushed to flee.
However, when these slippery fish wanted to escape from the other side of the town, they were blocked by a few pawns coming around the wall. Those villagers who were once fierce and wicked like evil spirits in the ongoing riots are no longer the menacing and noisy at the beginning, but huddled back home like frightened pigs and sheep.
Therefore, this reinforcement consisting of three hundred auxiliary soldiers and a small number of garrison soldiers; soon was in the city yard, which was almost destroyed by the fire near the south gate of the town, searched for and rescued and was guarded in the barn. The smoke was half dead, including the last few "three teams" survivors including Yu Jiulang.
Afterwards, he and other people were not taken away on a stretcher for treatment. Instead, despite multiple burns and dry face injuries, Yu Jiulang who actively insisted on staying to assist, also asked in a hoarse voice after a simple dressing. :
"Next, what does the brigade commander plan to do? How should I cooperate..."
"You don't have to be so troublesome. Since serious hostilities have been exposed here, then naturally you have to deal with it according to the Lord's post."
The dignified and solemn brigade commander Wang Qiu said in a solemn voice:
"If you feel that the large houses in this village are nothing for the time being, it is better to do the opposite for the time being; start from the outermost area and search every local home in every detail. Maybe there will be clues?."
"But as long as you control all the Ding Zhuangs, there is nothing wrong. Even if the leader escapes or hides, they, the accomplices, can't escape the relationship; my Taiping Army also has no expedients and methods to deal with. , Just leave it to me..."
At this moment, he remembered some of the encounters he had experienced when covering the people on the Xiajiang Road on the way to withdraw troops. For example, the fragments of human bones hidden in the pigsty and the mud of the cattle and sheep pens; the women and children who are bound by ropes in the dirt under the stilt house are as if they were still remembering the purpose yesterday. Sometimes, under the extreme sunshine and white snow, it is filthy and dark.
In the following time, although there were only more than 300 assistant soldiers, under the command of Wang Qiu, it was easy to control this place with a population of two to three thousand people. The team and the fighting team broke the Nei Zhuang surrounded by high walls and caught a group of the last culprits in the defeat.
Then in the process of searching the town’s homes, many weapons and flags were found, as well as various objects that were obviously not owned by the corresponding family. Therefore, under the continuous criticism of weapons, mainly swords and guns, everything that happened in the town became clear.
Yu Jiulang, who was responsible for participating in the interrogation and recording the entire process, was also shocked by the shocking scenes until he became completely numb and mechanical. And he knew only at this time the cause of all these incidents. It was the sudden disappearance of a servant in Nei Zhuang that caused the atmosphere of the whole Zhuangzi to change drastically.
However, he happened to have issued a request to count and check the list of slaves and maids in the village. The team members who went to the home of the old town eunuch also inadvertently displayed and verbally threatened, declaring the Taiping Army's consistent policy on the release of slaves and maidservants and the placement of beloved ones;
As a result, it touched the other party's string like a frightened bird. The slave servant in the village who was mistakenly thought to be missing was still in the hands of the "three detachments" of the Taiping Army. Fang Cun was in chaos on the spot, and under the leadership of the eldest son of the fellow eunuch, he closed the door and gathered the inner house to kill the blood.
Then, this generation unrelentingly launched and convened Quanzhuang Dingzhuang, and began to besiege the courtyard of the city where the "three detachments" is located. Therefore, it can be said that all the households in the town cannot get rid of the relationship. As for why they turned their faces against the members of the "three teams", the former was obedience and the latter was brutal and did not hesitate to turn their faces into enmity. The truth that was later tortured from the majority of the population was cruel.
That is to say, the vast majority of people in this town are direct or indirect accomplices; accomplices, or households here, are not only the first practice, but one of the potential beneficiaries in a broad sense; Of course, I feel that it should be covered up, or that any means that can protect the township and one's own home is a matter of course.
Because of this, they have to maintain their apparent relative self-sufficiency and harmony in these troubled times; that is, they are based on the bones of all the foreign travels, refugees, and even defeated soldiers. And that fellow eunuch is not only one of the instructors behind the scenes, but also a pretense to stand up and deal with all parties.
Therefore, before the "three teams", all the people who should have existed in the town were cleared and moved out in advance, hiding in the strongholds arranged in the mountains and forests for many years; as soon as they were summoned, they could be killed nearby, almost a combination of inside and outside. The team members who originally controlled the key points in the town were attacked and killed on the spot.
This was also the main cause and effect of the garrison liaison officer's suffering; although he was carefully guarded for possible disturbances and threats from the town, he was besieged and killed by an ambush attacker while rushing out for help. That is to say, this kind of yin and yang style of being familiar with the road, allowing this town to survive the change of local power again and again.
In other words, these people have become accustomed to showing tenderness and obedience to the strong, and then when the opponent reveals weakness and weakness, they do not hesitate to bite and entrap them, and to beautify them in the hearts of most members of the team. And twisted into the principle of preserving oneself and the country, as well as the natural way to survive in troubled times.
Prior to this, they had killed and killed countless people. There were rebels and officers and soldiers who had been defeated and passed through the border, and there were also bandits and bandits who had run into them and tried to make a profit. There were even states that kept fleeing from disaster to this place. Large county households, wealthy businessmen, and officials and officials would inevitably end up in it quietly, and the news was cut off.
If it hadn't been out of the Jiulang Festival and had sent out a message asking for cooperation beforehand, I'm afraid they would have to get trapped here first, and regardless of whether the Taiping Army had a chance to avenge them in the future, everything would be too late. Nevertheless, the dead players who were finally able to be retrieved were all fragmented after being killed and thought to vent their anger.
And such an unforgettable price and the tragic results on the front line of life and death have made these "three teams" survivors, including Yu Kuro, have a more thorough and clear understanding of their work and advancement. Consciousness.
If people like themselves can’t make up their minds and resort to ruthless measures to break and clean up the serious ills in the countryside left over from the previous dynasty, but they don’t know how many people will suffer, how can they come true? The peaceful Qingping generation
If you fail to recognize this, I'm afraid that in the future the Taiping Army will implement the situation in Huainan, and there will be more members of the "three detachments" acting, it will inevitably encounter inevitable losses and destruction.
However, for Wang Dun'er and other assistant soldiers who were mobilized and summoned halfway to reinforce the place, they have not recollected the excitement of winning the battle at first, but they are in the aftermath of the follow-up. During the disposal, they caught up with the scene that most of them couldn't help nauseating or staring apart.
After all, in the battle, they became incomplete or liver-scarred corpses, it was not that they had not converged and buried them. But among the prisons and forest strongholds confined in the farms, all kinds of tortured and mutilated women, children, etc.; and the incomplete bones taken from river ponds and ponds, are completely impacting them. The psychological bottom line of being a human being for a lifetime is now.
Therefore, in the follow-up trial, their crying and pleading for those family members in the village who were crying for the sky or wailing for the sky, it was already numb that they couldn't get any ripples or sympathy at all. Because the family affection and harmony in the eyes of these people are all in advance through the means of harming others.
However, what surprised Wang Dun'er was that their mission did not end. In the following days, there were constant military and local delegations arranged to visit and witness from various aspects. Here, they witnessed the corresponding retained criminal evidence and the trial process in batches maintained by them.
And while he was recovering from his injuries, Yu Jiulang accidentally received a brand new order and a disguised promotion document. Let him go to Huanggang Liangtai in Huangzhou Zhoucheng to stand by (restoring); at the same time, because of the excellent performance appraisal, he was promoted to the ninth-level official deputy.
Of course, the clear statement is that because he not only handled this sinful incident properly, he not only saved himself but also asked for help in time, enough to be established as a “model” among the corresponding “three detachments” personnel, so he still There are follow-up internal honors and rewards in kind.
For the sake of the inside, it can be regarded as a small face for the thousands of staff members of the Anti-Rebellion Association, as well as tens of thousands of peripheral affiliates and coordinators. It is also for countering the criticism and destruction from the outside world. In other words, it can be regarded as providing an important public opinion rebuttal and counterattack material.
You should know that people from the three detachments today can transfer to the military in addition to accumulating meritorious service and seniority, or to relevant powerful departments such as punishment, supervision, patrol (security), and inspection (anti-smuggling). As the local staff at the grass-roots level, it has become an important part of the executive power of the bottom-level government of the Metropolitan Government.
Therefore, there are three roads to choose from before him; either he will continue to be in the organization of the town’s anti-rebellion committee and be transferred to the next census team or the task force as the leader, rather than the so-called temporary "team representative." ".
Either choose to transfer to the newly established patrol team in Huangzhou, and rise one rank among the three counties and one (Yucheng) town of Huanggang, Huangpi, and Macheng, and then serve as a deputy inspector (team); this is an exclusive party for defense Affairs.
In addition, even the envoy of the Military Food and Military Academy in Huangzhou expressed a certain interest in him, believing that he could join the rear as a special clerk based on his work experience, perception, and contingent countermeasures. Coming in the sequence of the strike team.
However, as a temporary colleague, the brigade commander Wang Qiu also sent him an invitation. Because of the decisiveness and cleanliness shown in this matter, the admonition and observation period that Wang Qiu carried on "violating military orders and acting without authorization" was finally cancelled.
Therefore, he decided to use his few recommended places to invite Yu Kuro, who is still eye-catching, who can both take a knife and do things down-to-earth, to the new unit he is about to take up-Luzhou Temporary Formed the first regiment of the 19th Battalion and served as a steward.
