The knight's long gown and hat, a cross-back box cannon, and a look of a villain's success.
"I, Zhou Silang, are back!" If the moonlight was not rising and the night was hazy, Zhou Silang would have wanted to make all the neighbors out, and look at Zhou Silang, who was incompetent in their eyes, now he is well-developed.
"Go up and knock on the door, why are you standing there?" Zhou Silang held the pack horse and waved his hand. What's the matter, so what if the gatehouse is tall? So what if it's my elder? You're not just here to invite me to drink with a shame!
"Oh, is Silang here? Please, please!" After opening the door, the master on Thursday saw a scene that surprised him: along the gate, twenty men in black stood in two rows on one side. Everyone had broadbands on their waists and boxed on their shoulders, looking very capable.
"Uncle, are you in good health?" Successful people have their own demeanor. Since Mr. Zhou, who was once arrogant, lowered his head, Zhou Silang became polite. "I came in a hurry. Taijun's task was urgent, so he hurriedly asked your nephew and his wife to pack two old ginsengs. Don't be surprised! Haha."
"Hey~, I'll let you spend money!" Mr. Zhou squeezed a smile on his face, and took it with politely. But he spat in his heart: Is he so embarrassed to mention his nephew's wife? Isn't it just two bitches in the brothel? Can you enter the genealogy?
"Uncle, I won't say much about gossip. This time I came here mainly because Taijun wanted to collect grain." After two glasses of wine, Zhou Silang began to say: "From ancient times to the present, farmers have to pay the imperial grain and national tax. In the past, it was handed over to the National Government. Now the imperial army occupied the world, so the grain naturally had to be handed over to the imperial army. How many imperial army still has the word "imperial"? It's natural to collect grain! Haha--"
"So, how much food does the Imperial Army have to collect?" Master Zhou Xi asked with his eyes twitching.
"There are ten major towns in Heyuan, a total of 50,000 dan of military rations, and we should divide it into 5,000 dan of military rations at the three forks." Zhou Silang pulled off a chicken leg and chewed it in big mouths.
"So much? In previous years, our town only paid at most two thousand dans. This doubled and turned around. How could it be paid?" The master's eyelids twitched on Thursday and heard the worst news.
"Uncle, this number was set by the Imperial Army. It's a little higher, but now it's wartime, and I have to find a way to do it if I can't hand it over!" Zhou Silang also knew that this was difficult, but after the Japanese spoke, who dared to disobey it!
"Then you won't tell them. Most of our Sanchakou Town is mountainous. The paddy fields are only about 3,000 acres. After spreading them, they will almost be paid for half of the output. This will starve people to death next year!" The master on Thursday knew the details of the town very well. According to this method of transfer, until the spring of next year, most of the families in the town will have to cut off their cooking!
"I can't control this. Uncle, don't talk about the coming year first. Let's talk about the present first!" Zhou Silang's eyes rolled, "But I dare not say what I can't hand over. If I contradict the Imperial Army, it's going to kill people!"
"This...ah!" After sighing, Master Zhou Xi couldn't help but plan for himself: his family had about 300 acres of paddy fields and more than 200 acres of dry land. According to this method of transfer, he would really have to peel off himself!
Since I couldn't bear to peel it off, I had to spread it to the tenant!
Alas, it's a sin!
***************************************
"What, I have to pay so much food? No!" The angry man jumped up suddenly. According to this payment method, at least half of the food left after paying the rent was removed. The sixth family had to tie their mouths up! Before the Chinese New Year, they would drink the northwest wind!
"My fellow villager, don't be embarrassed by us. My family also farms. I know you are difficult... Isn't there any way!" The puppet army, who was collecting the debt, looked bitter and couldn't bear it.
"I don't care, I can't pay this grain." The man leaned on a shovel and protected the door.
"What? What do you want to rebel?" Zhou Silang shook his arms, "Come on, move in for me."
"I see who dares!" The man became anxious and raised the shovel.
"Tie it up and send it to the town for maintenance. I will be honest after locking him up for a few days!" Zhou Silang waved his hand.
"I'll fight with you!" The man waved the shovel and shouted wildly.
"Bar hook--" With a gunshot, the Japanese led the team ordered the shooting without any mercy.
"His father--" A shout, the woman fainted directly at the soft man.
"Damn it, I'll fight with you!" The half-aged boy rushed out with his kitchen knife.
"Kill me!" Two thick Japanese men thrust their bayonets and stabbed into the boy's body from left to right!
"I'm a pussy, little ghost," the boy held his last breath and spitted blood all over his mouth on the Japanese!
The family was destroyed and the food was robbed. That night, the woman hung her in grief. Only two children were left crying and falling to the grave!
...
In October, Heyuan County has no longer the laughter of a bumper harvest.
With the pace of the Japanese and traitors collecting grain, the people were crying and mourning unwillingly.
Those who dare to resist will die!
Those who are rebellious, arrest them!
The people who resisted the village were slaughtered!
For a time, wars were everywhere and every village was in trouble. The actions of the Japanese were a hundred times more fierce than those of the robbers!
***************************************
"Captain, two groups of traitors came and drove them away. I guess the devils will come in a few days." Wei Erxia came in to drink water and reported.
"Is it the town's maintenance meeting?" Chen Long asked without raising his head while writing something.
"One is from the Li family, and the other one doesn't know him. It seems that he says he is from the county detective team." Erxia took over his brother Chunsheng's job, but how old is he younger, and he is always irritable and immature enough to do things.
"Ba—, Baaa!" A burst of rapid gunfire suddenly erupted, and even Chen Long's team could hear it clearly.
"Where are you shooting?" Chen Long pulled out the box cannon, hurriedly ran to the Zhuangzi Gate Tower.
"Let it be closer and wait for the encirclement to be in place!" Hu Dakang was already in command on the guardhouse, and he held up his telescope and looked into the distance.
"What's going on?" Chen Long rushed to the guardhouse and asked.
"It was a few young people from Sun's house, who were rescued by Ergou and were coming here." Hu Dakang pointed at the figure in the distance to Chen Long.
"Sun Family Fortress? That's not a member of the Sun Family Sword Club?" Chen Long knew that the Sun Family Fortress had a big sword club of hundreds of men, and it was a considerable force in Sanchakou Town.
"Who is chasing behind? It doesn't look like a devil!" Chen Long raised his telescope and looked at it.
"It is the newly established security group in Heyuan, the puppet army, the dog traitor organization Wulianshan." Hu Dakang was still very clear about the armed forces of all parties.
"There is a platoon, the guns are not very good!" Chen Long looked at it and asked, "How did we arrange it?"
"Egou sent back the information early in the morning. Two heavy machine guns in one row were in Luzhuang. The second row and the third row were out of the left and right sides. When they were closer, they would close the net." Hu Dakang said and pointed at Chen Long for a look.
"You are going to wipe out them all!" Chen Long nodded, "Tell Dazhu a few, be careful behind you, don't just be fishing, and let someone stab you in the back."
"Don't worry, the Huazhong Army platoon has already entered Luzhuang along the tunnel. Their task is to fight and block." Hu Dakang is worthy of being the old Red Army and has a very thoughtful arrangement.
"Be careful with machine guns, shoot!" At that time, he said that, with Hu Dakang's command, four heavy machine guns aimed at the pursuit of puppet troops and fired. A dense bullet immediately knocked down more than a dozen puppet troops.
"Bao hook--,Bao hook! Da da--" Zhuangkou gunshots were the signal, and the team members surrounded by three sides opened fire together. After three or five minutes of fighting, the puppet troops were all beaten down.
***************************
"Brother Chen, save our fortress. The Japanese are going to slaughter our fortress!" The man who led the lead did not care about the bloody wounds behind his ears, and knelt down and shouted.
"Save our fort!" Five or six men also knelt down on their knees with big swords.
"Captain, the Japanese machine guns have been set up. I'm afraid it's--" Chen Ergou nodded when he saw Chen Long looking over.
"How many enemies are there?" Chen Long pulled Ergou aside and asked. After all, the district team has few teams and small strength, so he cannot touch the stone with eggs.
"A small team of Japanese soldiers, a puppet army company... There are less than two platoons left now!" Chen Ergou quickly reported the number of people.
"It's not too late, gather the team and set off quickly. Notify the Zhuang Troop to guard the wall." Chen Long immediately ordered, "The machine gun platoon sets up two machine gun positions every 1,000 meters from Luzhuang to prepare for the support. The mortars will follow."
After all, the troops were not enough. Chen Long estimated the enemy's strength of Sun Family Baozi. He concentrated all the team but was only as strong as the enemy's strength. In this way, the guard family had to rely on the brave men.
"The army rested for ten minutes." After running for more than ten miles, seeing the Sun Family Fort crossing a hill, Chen Long immediately issued an order to rest. "Ergou, you guys are lucky to find out the situation."
After all, it was a team that had been trained. At this moment, several men from Sun Family Fort had been left behind and were out of sight. In order to restore the team members' strength, Chen Long had to order a rest and prepare for the next battle.
"Captain, the Japanese are burning the village against fire. It seems that they have retreated." Chen Ergou and his friends quickly retreated.
"You mean the Japanese and the puppet troops ran away?" Chen Long asked.
"Yes, the Sun family fort was built like a big fortress. The Japanese sealed the door and lit a fire. I'm afraid-" Ergou didn't dare to say more.
"Let's go, hurry up and take a look." Chen Long didn't care about resting, and it was important to save people, so he took the people to touch them.
