"You kid, you've done well. You've become the deputy commander of the militia division. You'll almost catch up with me in two years."

Li Dezhen looked at Jiang Tiangu and said with a smile.

After hearing this, Jiang Tiangu said: "Old battalion commander, don't say that. How can I, a militia division commander, compare with your regular army? If I could be replaced by a regular army commander, I would laugh out loud."

After hearing this, Li Dezhen said: "Hey, you can't say that. The militia and the regular army just have different divisions of labor. There is no difference. You, don't think about changing every day. You, the militia division commander, may not be able to do it by others.

ah."

Jiang Tiangu laughed after hearing this and said, "Yes, that's what the old battalion commander taught me."

Li Dezhen said: "Okay, let's get down to business. Have the materials for strengthening the city defense arrived?"

After hearing this, Jiang Tiangu said: "It's all shipped. This time I mobilized more than 10,000 militiamen to select materials from Baihe, Xunyang, Pingli, and Quba, including river sand from Baihe and Xunyang cement.

I brought big bags of cement from the factory, flat wood, sand and gravel from Quba, and more than a thousand masons from Ankang to the old battalion commander."

"Okay, great, I need these things now."

Li Dezhen said excitedly, and Jiang Tiangu said: "Don't worry, old battalion commander. I received a notice from the county that they fully support us in guarding Tongqian Pass, and our militiamen are not vegetarians. As long as you say a word, old battalion commander, all my men will

More than 10,000 people can go up to the city wall at any time to help defend. If there are not enough, 80,000 militiamen in our Ankang area are on standby. If anyone dares to attack our Ankang, I will definitely beat the shit out of Zhang Xianzhong."

"You kid, I should be the one who wants to beat the shit out of Zhang Xianzhong. I don't want to think about the old battalion commander when I have good things going on, right?"

"No way, the old battalion commander will fight, the old battalion commander will fight."

Jiang Tiangu said with a smile, and Li Dezhen also smiled and said: "Okay, with the support of our militia, I feel more confident. Okay, let's not just talk, and hurry up and strengthen the city gates."

"yes."

Jiang Tiangu saluted, and then led people and cement to strengthen the copper coin pass.

Tongqianguan has been in many places dilapidated due to its long disrepair, and this time Li Dezhen wanted to repair it first and then use it.

Just as Jiang Tiangu left, and before Li Dezhen had time to take a sip of water, people from the Military Supplies and Logistics Department also arrived.

"Mr. Li."

The people from the Munitions Department saluted Li Dezhen, and Li Dezhen returned the salute: "Hello."

"Commander Li, all the 30,000 kilograms of gunpowder you requested have been shipped. In addition, the county commander specially ordered the arsenal to rush to produce 3,000 grenades and deliver them to Commander Li."

After hearing this, Li Dezhen said: "Fortunately, go down and rest quickly."

The man from the munitions office nodded to Li Dezhen and left. At this time, people from the military hospital came. The leading doctor saluted Li Dezhen and said: "Commander Li, we are from Lantian Military Hospital. We are following the county's military order to support Division Commander Li's department.

Currently, 53 people are being treated by doctors in Ankang, and with the help of local militia brothers, more than 200 medical tents have been built, which are enough for our wounded to live in."

After hearing this, Li Dezhen said: "Thank you, fellow doctors, for your support."

Teams of people fully supported Li Dezhen. Li Dezhen felt full of infinite strength. She didn't have to worry about logistical support at all, as long as she fought hard.

This is the treatment of soldiers in Lantian. With an order, people from all sides of Lantian will become the army's logistical support. What qualifications does such an army have to lose the war?

Just when Li Dezhen was meeting people from all walks of life, the adjutant suddenly rushed over and said: "Master, the county magistrate has sent us reinforcements again."

After hearing this, Li Dezhen was stunned and said: "Who are they from? Let's go and see them."

After hearing this, before the adjutant could speak, he heard hearty laughter from outside: "Hahaha... Dezhen doesn't need you to come to see me, I'll come to see you, haha..."

Hearing this voice, Li Dezhen stood up in shock and said: "Brother Mengzi?"

At this time, Li Chaomeng raised the door curtain and said: "Hahaha, it's not me or whoever it is, okay, boy, I passed by your army just now. The army is neat and tidy, not weaker than the other divisions."

Li Dezhen laughed after hearing this: "Brother Mengzi, aren't you training a special team? Why are you here with me?"

After hearing this, Li Chaomeng said: "No, the county has ordered that our special team will come to assist your department."

After hearing this, Li Dezhen said: "Okay, with Brother Mengzi's help, what else do I have to fear, haha."

The two of them chatted together as they talked. They had not seen each other for more than a year, and now they were sitting together and talking very cordially.

Just when the two were chatting happily, talking about finding a place to have a drink after the war was won, a communications soldier ran in and said: "Division Commander, there is an urgent call from the military headquarters."

After hearing this, Li Dezhen said: "Read it."

The communications corps heard this and said: "Our unit has just received accurate news that Zhang Xianzhong is determined to attack Ankang. He has sent Sun Kewang, Ai Nengqi, Liu Wenxiu, and Li Dingguo as vanguard officers, and has taken 50,000 refugees with him, preparing to use the refugees to consume us.

Military artillerymen and county magistrates should not be benevolent to women, and everything should be focused on protecting Lantian."

Snapped!

After hearing this, there was a snapping sound, and Li Chaomeng crushed a tea bowl.

"Asshole, this is a piece of loyalty that has no eggs. If we fight a war, we will fight. What else can we do if we let refugees come and die? You are a cowardless person."

Li Chaomeng's voice was very angry. What he hated most in his life were bandits who used the common people as a shield. If they fight, they will fight. Whoever loses has no ability and deserves to die. But you have to involve the ordinary people who have no power to restrain them.

Aren’t you just stinky and shameless?

Li Chaomeng hated this behavior deeply, and Li Dezhen's face was livid at this time. The people of Lantian couldn't bear the behavior of using refugees to consume cannons, because they had always been exposed to Li Chaosheng's ideas and believed that human life must be the most important, and human life must be used

Consuming the enemy's gunpowder is the most stupid behavior.

However, Zhang Xianzhong and others did not have this idea. In their view, the refugees were worthless and could be squandered at will. After all, as long as a place was captured, there would be thousands of refugees available for use.

When did their rogue bandits lack refugees? That’s why we say that the rogue bandits are like locusts. They only know how to destroy and don’t know how to govern. They always conquer and destroy a place. Their despicable and shameless behavior reaches the extreme.

This is the fundamental reason why Lantian people look down on rogue bandits.

Regardless of whether you are the Ming Dynasty or the Tatars, although the Tatars Lantian hate it to the extreme, you have to admit that the Tatars are also engaged in construction, and they are not blindly destroying. They also know the importance of productivity.

But the bandits are different, that is, they simply destroy. Wherever they go, wherever they rob, and wherever they cause harm, their ability is to go to one place and turn everyone in the place into refugees. The people who could have survived have still become refugees.

.

They are simply destroying. Such an army is the least necessary and will do the most harm to the Ming Dynasty.

They are like cancer cells. As long as they spread, they are irreversible. However, Lantian destroys a place, repairs it, and makes the dead wood rejuvenate. This is the most powerful thing about Lantian.

Now the collision of the two viewpoints caused Li Chao Meng and Li Dezhen to wish they could strangle Zhang Xianzhong to death, a bastard who didn't take human life seriously.

The two looked at each other at this moment, and then followed Li Dezhen and said: "Calling all the cadres at the group level to the temporary conference room for a meeting."

Soon, officials from Li Dezhen's ministry and regiment level came to the temporary conference room. The conference room was crowded with people. Li Dezhen said: "Read the message from the military headquarters to everyone."

After hearing this, the adjutant immediately read the military report to everyone. By the time the adjutant finished speaking, the group of people below were already cursing.

"In my day, Zhang Xianzhong, whose ancestors were eight generations old, fought wars and used refugees as cannon fodder. He could do it."

"Beast, beast, the one with the surname Zhang is a beast. A scum like this deserves to be listed as a hero in the world with the county magnate. I feel unworthy for our county magnate."

"That's right, give her back to her mother-in-law. I think he is a big bastard. Damn it, don't let me see him. If I see him, I will beat him into a gag."

…

A group of high-ranking military officials cursed and vented their inner uneasiness and irritability. After a long time, someone finally said: "Commander, what should we do? Do we really want to attack the refugees?"

Li Dezhen rubbed his eyebrows and said: "What should we do if we don't take action? Are we going to let the refugees rush through the gate? If Tongqian Pass is lost, there will be a vast plain. What's more, are we going to let the refugees rush in and turn us Lantian people into refugees? There can't be any women at this time.

Benevolence."

"But Commander, that's a total of 50,000 people, 50,000 lives."

At this time, a group leader said to Li Dezhen. After hearing this, Li Dezhen looked at the group leader and said: "Li Deming, you motherfucker, tell me what to do. If we don't take action, how will Ankang be protected? There are 50,000 refugees. You don't care."

, they can tear down the Tongqian Pass with their bare hands. Behind the Tongqian Pass are millions of people in Lantian. For the sake of these 50,000 outsiders, are you going to disregard the life and death of millions of people in Lantian?"

"You are a soldier, not a saint. We are soldiers of Lantian County, and the food and salary we eat are provided by the people of Lantian County. Now you are not protecting the people of Lantian County, but you have pitied 50,000 outsiders. I

Let me ask you, did they give you a grain of rice to eat, or a grain of grain to eat?"

Li Deming's face turned red after hearing this. Li Dezhen looked at Li Deming and said: "Don't use your childish kindness to harm the 3.2 million people in Lantian. Whose food will we eat and who will we protect? If this is all

If you can't tell the difference, then you can take off your military uniforms, grab a knife and go out to be a hero."

After hearing this, everyone was silent. For a long time, someone asked: "Does the county magistrate know about this?"

Li Dezhen nodded and said: "I know."

"Then what did the county magistrate say?"

After hearing this, Li Dezhen looked at the person who asked the question and said, "What I mean is what the county magistrate meant."

After hearing this, the man said: "Master, what do you mean? The county magistrate did not order the massacre of the refugees?"

Li Dezhen narrowed her eyes when she heard this. Li Chaosheng had already issued an order for this matter, but Li Dezhen didn't want people to know about the massacre order issued by Li Chaosheng. After all, it would be a stain on anyone in power, and as a general of Li Chaosheng's family, he had some charges.

He was willing to shoulder the responsibility for Li Chaosheng. For example, today's massacre of refugees, Li Dezhen's idea was that he had done it, and then pretended to plead guilty, and then let Li Chaosheng punish him severely.

In this way, Li Chaosheng will not be stained. Without stains, this is the character that a leader should have. The top leader must be glorious, especially Li Chaosheng. He is likely to be the emperor in the future. If there is such a stain, the history of history will be ruined.

He's not perfect anymore.

After hearing the questions from his subordinates, Li Dezhen was about to say that he would take full responsibility for the matter and that there was no need to report it to the county magistrate, but then Li Chaomeng suddenly stood up and said: "This matter is an order personally given by the county magistrate."

"Li Chaomeng!"

After hearing this, Li Dezhen's eyes suddenly widened. Li Chao glanced at Li Dezhen and said with a smile: "No, this is the telegram sent to me by the county magistrate before the meeting."

After hearing this, Li Dezhen opened the telegram and took a look, and saw that it read: Mengzi, Dezhen is kind-hearted in nature. He is afraid that he wants to shoulder the blame for me for massacring the refugees, but there are some crimes that he cannot bear. If he

If you want to take the blame for me, just wake him up for me. I, Li Chaosheng, don’t need others to take the blame for me. My merits and demerits will be judged by future generations. Don’t do anything for me that is like hiding something from a superior person.
