Frankly, the elders are pretty good about these death row inmates.

According to this era, the cell is a five-star cell by the standards of the earth, clean, and there is soap, and there is absolutely no scolding and blackmail.

In fact, at this time, everyone is busy making money and spending money, and the fact that a murder or rape case can be made shows that this person is not a pity.

However, the ideas of these people are one after another, one will be willing to castrate themselves into the palace to serve the "new" emperor, and the other will say that they want to be soldiers to eat food, exchange military merits for lives, in short, all kinds of strange things.

In order to prevent them from committing suicide or hurting others with dishes and chopsticks, they all put a lot of meat on a plate directly, all kinds of good stir-frying, and directly ate from the good example of India.

This kind of thing has a long history in history, and the monarchs of various countries began to grope and learn in the Spring and Autumn Period, which can be regarded as a kind of humanistic care, and the Song Dynasty even directly stipulated that the condemned prisoner could eat a meal of five yuan before he died, which was already a lot of money.

Of course, this kind of rule is often untenable when the dynasty is more fucked up, and the prisoner can usually laugh after eating a meal of rice.

Of course, for the elders, this little thing is still not taken to heart.

They were taken one by one to a hillside of the military academy, with their backs to the earth mountain, but in front of them were a group of offspring with the same sallow and white faces.

These people are basically howling and scolding, but fate is already sealed.

The instructor ordered behind their backs: "One bullet per person, I will shoot when I count to three, no one is allowed to pretend to be a rabbit guts, these people are all fucking brutes, specially found to train your courage, no one is allowed to let go of such a good opportunity!" ”

Hu Sanqi was a little afraid.

He and the death row prisoner opposite glanced at each other, and he felt very scared, the information said that this person asked his sister and brother-in-law for their house, and after repeatedly making trouble, he killed his brother-in-law's family on a drunken night, and even raped his niece, and the next day he said that his brother-in-law's family was sick and died, so he thought about occupying the magpie's nest directly and occupying the house.

This audacity and recklessness almost treats the neighborhood committee as a dead person, and such a current criminal is naturally directly brought here by the weapon of dictatorship, but, even so, his eyes are very frightening, and he even keeps shouting, eighteen years later, he is a good man's posture.

For the elders, there is no need to learn from the good example of the US imperialism or South Korea, and to use death row prisoners to form death squads to carry out tasks.

Hu Sanqi is probably the most nervous.

He was very afraid of this person's eyes, although he was praised as a combat hero, and the number of enemies killed was actually asked by some people to enter the top three in the army, but compared to the heroism of hand-to-hand combat, or other people have their own records, he was very afraid.

As a person who has a bitter hatred for the Council of Elders, his so-called record of riding a big white horse alone to lead away the enemy, protect his comrades-in-arms, and appear in major newspapers is actually a childish situation, thinking about taking away the war horse and angry with a certain elder, but those horse thieves, no one knows why, so they chase after Hu Sanqi.

Hu Sanqi's next battle, in full accordance with the soldier's discipline, turned around and shot, although the Mauser rifle is not a modified carbine, not very suitable, but after more than 100 rounds of ammunition, there are actually thirty or forty people killed, of course, there are also many people who died after falling from a horse and were trampled to death, in order to set a model, even if it is on Hu Sanqi.

But his murder record is very suspicious, first of all, the long distance, basically about 100 meters, secondly, every time he shoots, he immediately turns his head, his equestrian skills are average, purely relying on the amazing strength of the big white horse to not be caught up, and even dropped ammunition a few times, and the feeling of killing is not deep, basically just hoping to scare the enemy away with a shot.

This situation has never been experienced by Hu Sanqi.

They lined up in a row, facing the prisoner, and the instructor walked behind them, patting them on the shoulder.

"You are soldiers of the Presbyterian Church, you have to protect the people, protect the masses, fight against these bitches, obey orders!"

"Shoot!"

Hu Sanqi felt that after he shot, his whole body was different, as if his body was empty, and the prisoner, who was still extremely vicious, was killed in a row and died on the spot, but they were all there.

Those who can serve as non-commissioned officers in schools are basically outstanding offspring of the former combat units, and there are indeed quite a few outstanding performers in all previous public security operations and in the operation to eliminate bandits and shoddy gentry; at present, the speed of training is gradually accelerating, and the personnel have begun to be graded, and some people who have not killed anyone have also begun to enroll.

Shooting in battle, you may not know the result, and it is ridiculous for American GIs to destroy an enemy with hundreds of thousands of bullets, but it also proves that people are rich.

The typical shooting method of ordinary soldiers is a suppressive short shot, and the enemy must also see you when you see the enemy on the battlefield, and then aim and shoot at this time has long been hanged, even if the elders have a range advantage, but many times, because of the terrain and various factors, when fighting with the enemy, this advantage is almost impossible to play, and it is impossible for all battlefields to be on the Great Plains.

After the shooting, Hu Sanqi felt very bad, feeling that his blood was surging, and he only knew how to obey orders mechanically, and behind him were pickets and several policemen who followed the procedures to identify the condemned prisoners, and then replace them with the next prisoner, and the next group of trembling prisoners.

Back in the classroom, no one said anything, which was different from shooting indiscriminately at a distance of 100 meters on the battlefield, but shooting at close range.

None of the elders like to turn their men into murderers, it's hard to get along with themselves.

"Comrades, you are not feeling good now, I understand, but now, there are countless suffering people in the whole world, waiting for you to save people!"

The instructor took out a large number of picture albums and hung them on display, "These are how the landlords exploit and bully the common people in Jiangnan and other places, you can see it." ”

In the past three or four years, due to the huge power vacuum and all kinds of chaos, Jiangnan in general has begun to suck more and more blood from the oppression of the peasants from the beginning, but later began to suck more and more blood, after all, none of the taxes received now have to be dealt with by the central government, all of them are their own, and officials at all levels have also begun to collude up and down.

"In northern Jiangsu, landlords can insult and occupy tenants' wives and daughters at will, and even some areas such as northern Suqian still retain the 'first night right' system, tenants marry wives, first of all, let the landlord occupy a night, and their lynching places, there are not a few people who force people to die, this is the patrol team's investigation in Jiangnan......"

The shocking pictures were put out, and everyone who saw it was worried, and suddenly someone raised his hand and said: "But my family is also bullied like this, why should I save them." ”

"This is the reason why our army was established, we are not the escort of the landlord and the old wealth, but to protect the people, think about it, when you are discharged from the army, you have received the discharge fee, whether you buy those dozens of acres of land, or go to the city to be the boss, I hope that the team is to protect the people, not to protect those beasts, and besides, you have been bullied, don't you want to retaliate back."

The gossip conversation began to turn into a denunciation meeting, and everyone talked about their past, the more people who were shocked by the execution before, the more hoarse they were, and the landlords of this era did have a way to die, and everyone mentioned that they were in the past years with a nest of fire.

Hu Sanqi was out of step with others, due to class nature and various circumstances, the main force of the current army of the Presbyterian Church was still mainly tenant farmers and the urban poor, which was completely different from the army of the landlord class thugs of the Guojun army in later generations, in fact, he was almost the only landlord here.

This feeling is very bad, because almost all the things they say are what the Hu family has done to the people around them.

In the agricultural era, in fact, if it was just daily life, the peasants could still find a way to survive, after all, they had compressed their rations to the point that it was good to live, and there were no fat people among the peasants, only unhealthy overwork and death by overwork.

But resilience is fundamentally different.

Without water conservancy facilities, there will be floods at every turn, droughts will occur, land boundaries will be washed away, or local farmers will have to flee the famine.

But people are landlords, there are people, guns, and most importantly, food, walls, and the ability to bear risks!

You ran away, the land was left unattended, it was white, it was so clean. What to do? I asked my people to draw the land with knives and guns, I used to have 500 acres, I drew 600 acres, anyway, the boundaries were washed away by the flood.

What do you want to do? It depends on me to restore order in the local area, and the official also protects me, you poor peasant is a dick? And then what? The ground is painted, you have to live, how much grain can your poor peasants hide?

You go to sue, the official who received the letter just played with the prostitute in the building with the master last night, the prostitute is also the daughter of a poor family, if you don't take your paper, you deserve to be beaten to death as a diao people, even if you take it, whose son is the county master? The landlord's, as long as you have a good relationship, it is "Where did the Diao people sue the seventh uncle of the official!" ”

The ground is painted, you have to live, how much grain can your poor peasants hide? How strong can you build a house? What to do? Give me the rest of your land in exchange for food, there is no land, your daughter is good, your wife is good, be a maid, be a concubine. I didn't hear what the show said, this is a "gift", people are cultural people, and the landlord's family has also suffered a disaster, the landlord's family is willing to help you, that's for the sake of your villagers, you don't sign quickly, it doesn't matter if you don't know how to read, I write, you just press your handprint.

Don't say it, it's really nice to have a show like a dog around him, he turned around and made up stories, how good the landlord is, how virtuous he is, you peasants don't kneel and lick?

Then, the discussion deepened, and began to talk about how to publicize and deceive, focusing on the issue of the troupe.

The so-called killing people punish the heart, it is easy to kill people, but it is difficult to punish the heart.

In dramas, it is the common people who kneel down and beg the emperor to sue the emperor, and it is the ruling class that gives mercy so that the peasants can survive.

Of course, there is no TV series that really dares to broadcast the crime and then die a good death.

Next, let's discuss how amazing it is for a poor person to turn the sky in the era of the Ming Dynasty, which is not nonsense.

Those who count on the rise of farming in the early days of the traverser always can't understand that in ancient times, it was not a society governed by the rule of law, but a proper law of the jungle.

This is still light, the imperial power is not under the county, the county is only the clan, the clan is autonomous, the autonomy depends on ethics, ethics to create the squire, so the grassroots governance, often under the guise of the clan, is the most red fruit exploitation.

The confusion of later generations, the emphasis on the so-called filial piety and the order of the elders and the young in an industrialized country, in an industrialized country, was nothing but a weak counterattack of the reactionary class, but in this era, it is real.

The close connection between the landlords, ethics and the patriarchal system has played a role in maintaining the moral system, and many landlords are also clan leaders, village sages, economic power, moral power, and murder power!

The only requirement of the imperial power to the countryside is that no matter how much you burn, kill and loot, as long as you don't make a big trouble, the squire class is at the core of the two-in-one system of morality and administration and the economic structure of rural power, not only has a public office to punish treachery and thieves, levy taxes and levy soldiers, and collect rents, usury, and monopolize rural handicrafts and commerce, you know, a landlord can make the county government almost kill Li Zicheng, and also manage temples, clan affairs and some superstitious organizations. The entire countryside was under the control of the "squire village elders" and the patriarchal system, and the ancestral hall could condemn the death of small people.

The power of the gentry class is hardly checked in peacetime, especially to their own tenant farmers, and its psychological advantage is much higher than that of the stingy bosses, who still have to be governed by labor laws.

Absolute power leads to absolute corruption, and this is the root cause of the oppression of tenant farmers by some landlords.

Of course, for the Presbyterians, the real sins of the landlords were not only that.

Their monopoly on land, wealth, labour, and their interdependence with the natural economy seriously hampered the process of industrialization! Hindered productivity progress!

This is original sin.

The elders wanted freedmen out of the mountains and out of the fields, who learned how to use arms, learned machines, learned how to drive tractors, learned how to conduct infantry warfare, and when they were scattered into the colonies, they would open up countless lands, which the landlords did not like.

Over the years, the elders have used both economic temptations and economic blows, but a considerable number of landlords do not like the current change.
