That night, the entire Liangshan Island gradually fell into hell amid the flames and slaughter.
When the sun went down, the commander of the Wu Rui Camp, Fang Duxing, pressed the handle of the knife, stood in front of the warship, and watched the big flag "walking the road for the sky" on the island in the distance dropped from the flagpole. It heralds the short-lived rise and fall of Liangshan. At the same moment, on the island or in the foothills on the other side, a leader watched the chaos appear, expand, and finally irreversible, making a mournful sound.
The whole process of the Wu Rui Battalion's attack on Liangshan Island lasted only two days. On this day of June 20th, the offensive of the officers and soldiers was extremely cautious, because before Liangshan had reached its current size, the Wu Rui Camp had already returned several times in the water. Although the Dulonggang Battle was ahead this time, the commander Fang Duxing still couldn't take it lightly. He blocked the waters at the beginning and carefully figured out the defenses of Liangshan's surrounding small islands. At noon on this day, he started a tentative attack.
The attack on the surrounding small islands has actually encountered a lot of resistance, but to be honest, these resistances are not as strong as the previous ones. Even under the conservative defense of the officers and soldiers, the harassment on Liangshan seems clumsy. . Aware of this, Fang Duxing began to order a formal attack, destroying several ships on the periphery, and the offensive on several small islands came to an end at night on June 20, and then a strange situation happened.
At the end of the battle, someone will always surrender, and this time, the first surrenderer brought the heads of their companions, and then it seemed that the demons released by the fall of night were breeding in people's hearts. Some of the Liangshan soldiers who were guarding chose to escape, while the other part, in the darkness of the night, began to strife.
Everything is just as the person who came from the capital said, the head is exchanged for life and reward. At first, some people brought the heads of their comrades who had died in battle. Later, when a small number of people could not escape, there were not enough corpses. At that time, they swung their knives at the people around them. On the side of Fang Duxing, a strict order has been issued at this time. A head can live. No head can only die.
On the 21st of June, the attack on Liangshan Island began, and the fleet fought and scuffled on the water near Liangshan, and it was this afternoon. The main force of Wu Rui Camp began to land on the island. When occupying the first position. When they were ready to attack, what greeted them was no longer Liangshan's huge resistance. But... the entire Liangshan gangster force collapsed on its own.
According to the comparison of previous combat experience, Wu Ruiying's attack on Liangshan this time is like a steel knife cutting into a piece of tofu. No one realized that the whole process would be so fast, and even the collapse of the second half of it was not considered to be cut by this steel knife.
For Fang Duxing, he could only gradually piece together the whole story from the mouths of some of the prisoners he had captured.
Just a few days before the officers and soldiers attacked, the entire Liangshan situation had fallen into suspicion and fear. Things are developing so fast that many people haven't reacted yet, but the cruel facts have already appeared in front of everyone, and they can't help but believe or not.
Friction, estrangement, quarrel, and small-scale rivalry are not the most serious things. The most troublesome and most sensitive thing is that when the news spreads that the head is replaced by the merit, it leads to the disappearance of a few people. Sometimes, the body will even be found from the back of a certain person's house, and even the people inside Liangshan can't be sure whether this person was killed by the other party, or if the opponent framed it in the past.
The big leaders tried to suppress the situation, but they inevitably kept alert and connected with each other. The frequency of patrols and the intensity of strict investigations were increased, but this did not help. Some of the smartest people were trying to organize small groups from the beginning. , and then people from different local factions are also in contact with each other in order to protect themselves. They take care of their family members, and as long as someone peeps, they become extra sensitive. For several nights in a row, there were dead people, conflicts in the dark, conflicts on the surface. Although it is an island with tens of thousands of people, it is very scary to die in this way with a few dozen people.
After the accusations and conflicts began to become apparent, everyone realized that the collapse was coming, and the leaders above could no longer be suppressed. The close confidants will begin to test whether the boss above is going to surrender or run away, and the leaders above will also test the thoughts of the confidants. During this process, when the officers and soldiers started to attack, the whole Liangshan's condition was already like a mass of hot and dry patients wrapped in the body, and it was about to erupt at any time, but if there was no external force, the whole process would probably have to last for a while.
Even when Fang La rebelled, or when a famine came, when ten rooms and nine were starved to death, the suspicion and vigilance among the hungry and refugees had never been oppressed and aroused to such a degree. Not only did the people on Liangshan not experience such a situation, even Fang Duxing had never seen such a thing before.
After that evening, the officers and soldiers rushed to the island, but in fact they encountered small-scale resistance. On the waters around Liangshan, battles were still going on, and several clashes broke out between the ships that broke through and the warships of Wu Rui Camp. But if we talk about the situation of the entire Liangshan Island, it is like a floating island in hell just to test human nature. The killings among companions and the cannibalism for the sake of human heads have been going on all the time. People who want to make the chaos even bigger and fish in troubled waters set fire to the mountains and plains.
Heads can save lives, and people can make money. In order to prevent the soldiers under his command from being seriously injured in this frenzied situation, Fang Duxing ordered some soldiers to just surround the island and not attack, leaving the entire island to fend for itself. Only Take the head down, make statistics and protection. Let the evils of humanity run rampant across the island. Outside the island, the battles of breaking out, chasing, and being alone have been going on in flames.
That night, looking at the various survivors who rushed down the island, Fang Duxing and He Rui sighed: "My generation of soldiers believes that human nature is inherently evil, but how evil is human nature? I know." Relatively speaking, the scholar from the capital, when he arrived at this time, looked like a devil to him, and He Rui also said: "It's just such a method, it's too vicious, I'm afraid it will hurt the world..."
A means to bring the cold to the enemy, but also to one's own people. It was also a chill, and Ning Yi didn't know what to think in his heart. It's just that when Fang Duxing and He Rui were sighing like this, on the water near Liangshan, among the flames and the wreckage, there was also a medium-sized warship that was moving slowly. Standing in front of the boat, Wang Shanyue remembered that a few days before Ning Yi was about to make a move, he was sitting under the eaves of Zhujiazhuang, holding the bracelet as a rosary, and there was some information. Also on this ship. Aggregate summary.
"When I was a child, I read the Three Character Classic and said that people are inherently good. After this time, I don't believe it anymore." Su Wenyu murmured there. And next to Ning Yi, who was also looking at this piece of water and fire. Glancing at him frowning.
"Su Wenyu. Remember, human nature is inherently neither good nor evil." After a while. Ning Yi said, "You thought that human nature was inherently good before, but that's not necessarily true. If such a thing makes you feel that human nature is inherently evil, it can only mean that you are narrow-minded. Human nature is chaotic, neither good nor evil, but it It is not firm and easy to be tempted. What it will become depends on external forces. It is not easy to get to this stage, but it is not impossible to make people better. If you think that human nature is inherently good or human nature is inherently evil, That's the idea of cowards who don't want to put in any effort, they don't have ideas or ego, they can only push the essence, this kind of idea, if you want to do something, don't have it."
Witnessing the collapse of Liangshan, in the eyes of everyone, Ning Yi's mood was not necessarily good. He did not focus on these ordinary people in Liangshan. What he was waiting for was some more critical information. After thinking for a while, Su Wenyu said, "I will remember." Ning Yi smiled, sat on a chair at the bow, and looked at the island with flames and chaos in the distance.
"When you see this, what you should think of is the preciousness of order and the greatness of morality, the spiritual civilization, culture, and morality of a world. These things add up to protect everyone, and morality is followed by law. Once they collapse, it is easy to be destroyed. It will become like this on Liangshan. No matter how much we can manipulate human nature, you and I should be in awe of human nature, culture and morality. If you don’t want yourself to become like this, you have to remember this. a little."
The ship gradually moved forward, over the wreckage of a large ship, the flames burning on the water had not been extinguished, and one after another floating corpses floated past the side of the ship. Ning Yi shook his head, looked at the light in front of him, frowned, and spoke slowly.
"I've actually met a lot of people before, who always thought that they were very powerful, clamored for character, wanted to kill decisively, and had good ideas, but they didn't know what morality was. This kind of person is actually the lowest kind of person in the world. Strength, and no wisdom, only arrogance and stupidity."
Ning Yi sighed and pointed to the flames on Liangshan, "I only know a little bit of immediate benefits, but I can't see my own fragility. In fact, it's not the people who have the ability, strength, and wisdom that are bound by morality. They are the ones who are bound the most. Once morality is released, ordinary people will be complacent with petty profits. They do not know that the big people at this time, every time the shackles are released a little, they will hurt the interests and lives of thousands of people. Human nature is very interesting and cruel. Good and bad are mixed together. If you want good things, you have to work hard. If you always feel that it has nothing to do with yourself, maybe one day, morality will drop. Below a certain point, there's nothing left."
The rays of light flowed, brightly and darkly, and Ning Yi's sigh was immersed in the night, and the people around him seemed quiet. A small boat rowed across the water and came over from there, and it was Qi Xinhan who brought information.
"Not long ago, Song Jiang broke through the siege on the other side of the island. Several ships from Wu Rui Ying tried to intercept them, but they were caught by surprise. I have already asked some prisoners... As you said, the strong man broke his wrist."
The news that he had been waiting for finally came, Ning Yi stood up: "How many people?"
"In the end, less than 4,000 people got together." Qi Xinhan said, "In the past few days, Song Jiang and the others seem to be holding their ground, but in fact, they are waiting for the conflict to intensify. They secretly chose the part of the island that was most unlikely to surrender. Either they have a bloody feud with the government, or the case they committed is too big, or they have the closest relationship. After the conflict has intensified, they can see more clearly, communicate privately, and then gather them all together. As for the other, Those on the island have been abandoned."
Ning Yi pressed his palms against each other and nodded: "The strong man broke his wrist... They are still decisive."
Qi Xinyi on the side said: "Among them, there are still people with two hearts, right?"
Ning Yi shook his head: "There are spies, but it's hard to influence the combat power. First, they are diehards themselves, and secondly, if they want to exchange their heads for rewards, they don't have to follow them, as long as they stay on the island to kill people, the matter will be Even if it's over. In this way, the influence I put in their hearts is considered to be taken out. There are 4,000 people, and some of them are estimated to be family members. But after leaving Liangshan, it is still a big problem. Let the people on Liangshan leave it alone. This group of people must be killed all... We should prepare to chase after them, and notify the 2,000 people in Dulonggang to join us, and notify the states and counties to cooperate."
He turned his head and pointed at Su Wenyu: "Wen Yu, take a few people over there to lead them and let him divide the troops. You are responsible for contacting the two sides. Tonight, you can watch the play over there. In addition, on the mountain Regardless of whether they have family members or not, on average they will take more than three heads and let Fang lead them to detain them all. After the war, either they will join the army, or they will go with me temporarily. These people cannot flow into society now - of course, this is not necessary for the time being. To be clear, wait for me to come back. Also, once the fighting on the mountain is not so intense, let Commander Fang send troops to clean it up. Even if there are no heads, as long as there is no resistance, they can all be released. They are now the cleanest. Killing these people... doesn't make much sense anymore."
"Yes." After Ning Yi made arrangements, Su Wenyu nodded and led a few people to the island by boat. The order was given here, and the warship sailed and broke through the waves. Under the moonlight, following the light of the imperial warship, it pursued the distant water surface. In the distance, there were the outlines of the dark mountains and water.
On the side of the field of vision, the huge island is still burning and fighting in the dark. I don't know when it will stop...
On June 22, Liangshan fell, leaving only more than 3,000 people at large headed by Song Jiang. The pursuit of them has become a new problem before the eyes of the prefectures, counties and officers and soldiers...
