Chapter 399 Chapter 399: Ten black disasters (nine) [two in one]
Bai Su was riding on a war horse.
He glanced indifferently at the group of captured horse bandits.
With a lack of imagination, she couldn't think of any way to make people "worse than death" for a while, but she felt that the known torture was not enough to vent her anger and stand up. So he turned to his lord to seek knowledge, and Xu Quan also looked over.
Xu Quan guessed: "Riding a horse and dragging?"
said again: "The city gate is hung to dry?"
Bai Su added: "Three thousand six hundred dollars is too late?"
Xu Quan thought it was impossible when he heard this, and refuted it with curled lips: "There are so many horse bandits, each of whom uses a knife to slice the meat, and still pay 3,600 dollars? How can so much effort be wasted?"
Plainly speaking, Ling Chi’s torture takes too long, and the labor cost is too high. The horse bandits don’t deserve this treatment.
Bai Suzhuan asked: "Then what do you think is the way?"
Xu Quan pondered, thinking about tricks: "First disembowel the belly, take out the fat and light the sky lantern, and then peel the last straw?"
This method is not considered cruel.
You must know that the previous Sheriff of Longwu County was also on the way to defend the city. He missed and was captured, and ended up being cut open and emptied of internal organs, and then beheaded. The head and body were hung separately from the city gate and exposed to the sun. .
For an inhumane existence like Shiwu...
Only more iron-blooded and cruel methods can be used to deter. As for tenderness and appeasement, they are all "mercy" when people are completely subdued or beaten to the brink of genocide. It is the sporadic sympathy of the strong for the weak.
Before that, only fight!
Any mild means will be regarded as cowardice by the enemy.
Bai Su didn't respond, but looked at the lord whose face was cold and covered with frost. The other party said with a smile in his voice, "Those are too bloody. Just bury them alive. Only one head is exposed. Take' Good meaning for 'getting ahead'."
Both Bai Su and Xu Quan were surprised.
It is more deterrent than the Zhujing Temple, so that the enemy can't survive or die, is this the only way?
Yes, that's it.
but-
Enough!
Shen Tang's eyes were dim. There was a murderous intent that Qishan and others rarely saw in his eyes. He Yin has been keeping a low profile for the past two years, causing too many people to think that she is a "gentleman with kindness", but they ignore her decisiveness before wearing this mask.
Ru Yao, the seat of the government of Longwu County.
Because of its geography, Ru Yao has strong folk customs and huge fluctuations in economic conditions. If the army is strong and fights so hard that Shiwu dare not offend easily, the economy will prosper. Because Shiwu's productivity is backward and resources are scarce, many necessities of life cannot be obtained by plundering, so they can only barter, which is more expensive. Local specialties in exchange for cloth and salt.
Naturally, Ru Yao's economy is not far behind.
When it was in its heyday, there was a lot of traffic in the city, and there were a lot of Shiwu traders who came from thousands of miles to do business. Merchants from all over the country exchanged local uncommon things with them, and they could make more than ten times or even dozens of times of profits backhandedly. There are also those who are brave enough to secretly go deep into the hinterland of Shiwu to engage in smuggling, and the profits are higher.
They also have the awareness of "prenatal and postnatal care".
In order to improve the genes of the tribe, tribal women who are in short supply in peacetime are also encouraged to intermarry with men in Longwu County, and the children born are generally stronger than the children of the tribe.
_(:з)∠)_
This is not difficult to explain.
There are many natural resources in Shiwu, but there are really not many food resources, and the diet structure is still simple.
Coupled with the two hundred years after the thief star fell from the sky, this wave of people in the mainland has passed through generations and crazily involuntary struggles. Also higher.
It is normal to "borrow" good genes of the own family.
certainly-
This "harmonious scene" is limited to when the army is strong.
If the military strength of Longwu County is weak, or the country behind Longwu County is weak and corrupt, let alone resisting the harassment of Shiwu, but also bowing to Shiwu, then there will be no business. People directly come to a wave of zero yuan group buying.
In the past, the cloth, salt and food exchanged for things were directly robbed, and tribal women were not encouraged to "borrow seeds" and **** other women's women into their own nests. In a word, burning, killing and looting are not left behind, and even more cruel.
What Shen Tang sees at this moment is naturally Ru Yao, which has been destroyed by wars over and over again. It is even more desolate than Fugu City in Heyin. The huge city wall has been destroyed in sevens and eights.
The official office in Fugu City is still a dilapidated building.
Ru Yao's official office is directly in ruins.
When Shen Tang arrived, the large army had already entered the city half a day early, and cleared out an open space barely enough to set foot on the ruins of the government office. The army skillfully picked up the tools and began to repair the city wall, barely making Ru Yao a little more angry.
Qi Shan and others have already had a clear division of labor.
Separately send people to inquire about news in the city.
Gather the scattered common people as much as possible.
Lin Feng helped her teacher Chu Yao. The master and the apprentice were discussing something. Tu Rong took off his armor. In the cold and windy day, most of his arms were bare, and he followed the other soldiers to fight against the wreckage of the building.
"Meet the lord."
Shen Tang arrived at the government office on a motorcycle.
Chu Yao straightened the skirts stained with thin dust, and saluted her together with Lin Feng. Shen Tang jumped off the motorcycle: "Don't be too polite, how is the city cleaned up? How could the government office..."
Speaking of this matter, Chu Yao also sighed.
The former governor of Longwu County fell into the enemy's plan to divert the tiger away from the mountain. In addition, Shi Wu's group of "horse bandits" had planned for a long time for that revenge. Ru Yao - said it was a slaughter, that is to start killing, wantonly killing for several hours, and set a big fire when he left. The top and bottom of the government office suffered even more...
Shen Tang raised his eyebrows solemnly: "No one alive?"
The accident in Longwu County happened in midsummer, and Shen Tang took office a few days after the autumn harvest. During this period, no one took care of the aftermath?
Unless everyone died in that catastrophe.
Chu Yao said: "Not really..."
"Why is that?"
"Because I was too disappointed..."
Chu Yao didn't need to speak too carefully, Shen Tang could hear it too. Longwu County suffered such catastrophe, and the body of a county sheriff was humiliated in this way, Wang Ting didn't say he was angry and sent troops, at least he wanted to express his opinion. In the end, I don’t talk nonsense, and I’m still on good terms with Brother Shiwu... Most of the soldiers guarding Longwu County are from Longwu natives. Hearing this, they will naturally feel chilled...
It simply started to fall apart.
It’s just that, if it’s bad, it’s bad, and we can’t relax about fighting Shiwu. However, the military supplies and food are not provided by Wang Ting’s pocket, and life is extremely difficult, and many places can’t be taken care of—such as Sangouli Village that was massacred.
They can only guard the checkpoint without breaking.
As for those little thieves who sneaked through the city wall, crossed the weakening national border barrier, and smuggled over to burn, kill and loot, they also had enough energy.
The pot can’t be uncovered, let alone repairing Ru Yao.
This situation is really sad for those who hear it, and tears for those who see it.
There is another very big trouble here.
Shen Tang was nominally sent by Wang Ting Zheng Qiao.
so-
There is a high probability that Shen Tang will be resisted by these people. Thinking of all these troubles, even Shen Tang is one head and two older.
This start is several times more difficult than He Yin!
At that time, He Yin only needed to clean up one-third of an acre of her own land, and she didn't have to worry about everything else. Because although the neighbors next door like her leeks, they are all good brothers on the surface, and it is impossible to harass her base camp without a strong excuse.
He has never been harassed in the past two years, and Shen Tang has turned back and prostituted a lot of human resources—
Although the "wedding dress" of more than two years finally made Xu Xie cheaper, Shen Tang is not a person who only focuses on the gains and losses in front of her. The local tyrant invested in himself, and even fooled the other party into sending Xu Quan, who was carefully cultivated by the Xu family. Additional investment will be indispensable in the future, and he is willing to be Shen Tang's ATM machine.
"...ah, money is hard to earn, **** is hard to eat..."
The most urgent task at the moment is to clean up Ru Yao first, collect the remaining refugees, and have a foothold that can barely be seen, and then personally negotiate with the original soldiers and horses in Longwu County. Just because they are desperately defending Longwu County doesn't mean they are friendly to her.
A sudden stab in the back is also possible.
It so happened that it was drizzling at this time.
Everyone was so busy that their feet hit the back of their heads. Even Jiang Sheng's family members couldn't take a break and came out to help clean up.
After a busy day, I can finally have some hot soup.
Shen Tang nestled in the temporary tent, blowing the biting cold wind, the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, the more angry he became.
Gu Chi came back with a lawsuit all over his head, and he heard his lord's heartbroken voice from a long distance away: 【Endure the ovarian cyst for a while, take a step back and breast hyperplasia... This bad breath must come out! Gan! How could I be a doormat? 】
Gu Chi: "..."
Over two years...
He also knows the meanings of "ovarian cyst" and "breast hyperplasia". Although every time he hears it, he wants to complain "Does his lord have such a thing? It seems that he does", but considering that this may be slang in the lord's hometown, It is no longer entangled.
Compared with the words "take a step back and open the sky", he prefers the lord's words, he can't bear it, no need to bear it anymore!
"My lord."
Gu Chi is ready to come in.
Shen Tang said: "Wang Chao came just in time."
As soon as Gu Chi heard this, he knew he was coming to work.
"My lord, have you ordered?"
Shen Tang: "You send people to dig dozens of holes on the road at the gate of the city, and bury the horse bandits I captured one by one, just show a head, then send people to guard and write a notice, the people of Fanlongwu County Can kick both feet!"
"that's all?"
Shen Tang pondered for a while, then added ruthlessly: "Pull out a hundred hairs from the bandits, and reward one or two corns."
Gu Chi thought for a while, and made a suggestion: "Pour some more gold juice into the pit, this thing can be raised from common people's homes."
just bury people in the ground and kick their heads...
People can live comfortably for a few days.
Killing is nothing more than nodding your head to the ground.
But for these bandits, they can only grind their flesh with blunt knives.
The common people of Longwu County also need an outlet to vent their emotions. At the same time, they can use this method to quickly recognize Shen Tang as the new governor of Longwu County—to let them know that the previous governor guarded each other with his life. Guard Longwu County, and lead Longwu County to blow Shiwu's brains away.
These horse bandits are just "voting certificates".
It doesn't matter how they die.
The important thing is how the people of Longwu County vent their anger.
Shen Tang: "...that's fine too."
Shen Tang asked again: "...Wang Chao seems very skilled?"
Gu Chi said with no surprise: "Similar things are always seen after marching and fighting for a long time. This method of deterring and humiliating the enemy is similar. As long as the lord doesn't feel disgusting and cruel... I can't be kind to Shiwu!"
Where did Shen Tang not know this truth?
Creating a good reputation in Heyin is also a protective look. The neighbors are not good at doing anything to her out of concern, but in Longwu County, setting up this persona is courting death. Gu Chi added another sentence.
"Let Chi bring this matter up..."
Shen Tang: "Huh?"
Gu Chi looked serious: "Because the lord is the future 'benevolent lord', not the 'violent lord' like Zheng Qiao, your methods are different. This kind of method can only be regarded as an unremarkable path. Use it once or twice to achieve The purpose of deterring and humiliating the enemy is enough, if it is used too much, it will be inferior. It will also make the outside world criticize the lord for having sadistic eccentricities... The real power must be on the battlefield."
Shen Tang smiled and rolled his eyes.
"It's natural, don't worry Wangchao."
Gu Chi nodded.
He didn't worry about it at first, he knew the character of his protagonist better than Qishan and Chu Yao.
But the environment has too much influence on people, there is no bottom line in the behavior of ten black people, and the crimes of the common anger of man and **** are too numerous to record. If the protagonist is completely angered and uses the same means to retaliate again and again, his temperament will be changed over time.
In the words of the lord—
It means that the boy who slays the dragon eventually becomes a dragon.
Shen Tang called Lin Feng and Yu Zi again.
Ask the two of them how much food and grass they have left. Shen Tang's current family property is definitely considered solid, which is not the same as two years ago, especially food, there is no shortage at all, and it is enough for more than ten thousand soldiers and horses to feed for four or five years.
Shen Tang said: "Allow two thousand stones."
Yu Zi carefully recorded: "What are you doing?"
"Send it to the Longwu soldiers and horses guarding the checkpoint."
"Now?"
Yu Zi and Lin Feng looked at each other.
They have been busy with Chu Yao for a long time, and they have a general understanding of the situation in Longwu County, knowing that sooner or later their side will contact those garrisons. But on the first day, I couldn't wait to send out two thousand stones of grain and grass...
There is a high probability that people will not be grateful, and they will have to scold them and spit on them after receiving the food.
Shen Tang said: "This is called courtesy before soldiers."
Her attitude is shown first.
If you don't appreciate it, you will be famous if you use violence.
Besides—
In any case, they have a common enemy.
The large army of Shiwu couldn't pass the checkpoint, Shen Tang had room to operate in the government office, at least repair the city defense of the government office first, otherwise the enemy would not even have a decent defense when they came over, didn't they deliver food? It doesn't hurt to give two thousand stones of grain and grass.
Yu Zi and Yu Zi nodded and took the order: "Wei."
Of course, before the implementation, Shen Tang would have to ask Chu Yao for more details, and then implement it after confirming that it is feasible.
With the construction experience of Heyin County, Ru Yao saved a lot of trouble this time. Although there are only three or two kittens left among the common people in the city, and there seems to be a severe shortage of manpower, the young and strong brought by Shen Tang are all experts in infrastructure construction and "veteran craftsmen" with two years of experience!
Big changes in just five days!
Let a small number of refugees go out to make a living in search of food, but were so hungry that their chests were stuck to their backs and returned empty-handed, they thought they had gone the wrong way—
Wait, is this still Ru Yao? ? ?
(︿)
I’ve read everyone’s comments. I tossed and turned and thought a lot yesterday. I felt suffocated and chatted with the editors in the morning. This welfare change cannot be changed, so I look forward to a patch in the future.
Alas, the most important thing is that there are still two years left in the serialization of Tuizhen, which is relatively optimistic. If the spores develop smoothly, it may be delayed by a few months. It is impossible to stop the serialization immediately, even if it is bad.
As for the division of novels into volumes, it is not feasible at present.
Shiitake doesn't want to retreat. I dragged my appendix like the military lady who was doing well back then.
Therefore, I should serialize it, and everyone will continue to catch up.
For the time being, wait for the wind and rain to dissipate.
