Several of Panda's men were blocked by the people, intentionally or unintentionally, and they jumped to their feet in a hurry, brandishing their whips and slashing at the people's heads and faces.

"Mud-legged people, you dare to stand in the way of grandpa!"

Although the common people did not dare to resist openly, but out of the mentality of the same hatred, it was no problem to cover this little fellow, in the face of the whip, they silently chose to endure, but no one got out of the way.

Lin Weiye saw this scene from a distance and asked anxiously: "Is this ...... What should I do? Although he was not interested in the methods of Panda and the others, if he let this person run away in full view, it would not only affect the prestige of the Joan Navy, but also cause a domino effect, and more people would try to escape.

Xia Nan was very calm and said, "Don't worry, you have to trust our people." ”

Just when everyone thought that this young man had a chance to run away, Zhu Jinhu took his subordinates out. The dozen or so soldiers responsible for maintaining order in this area reacted very quickly, slashed their rifles behind their backs, and chased after them.

Under the watchful eyes of thousands of people around, a chase began.

Although the young man ran as fast as a leopard, the soldiers came first and gradually narrowed the distance. Qiong's naval soldiers have to undergo rigorous training every day, their physical fitness and combat skills cannot be pulled down, plus food and nutrition are guaranteed, in terms of physical fitness, whether it is endurance or explosiveness, they are far beyond their peers in this time and space, even if they carry guns and bullet bags that are not light, they are still faster than the opponent's bare hands.

Within 200 meters, Zhu Jinhu took the lead in catching up with the target, grabbed the collar behind the young man's neck, used inertia to drag him down, and threw him heavily on the ground, splashing choking dust.

The soldiers surrounded one after another, raised the butt of their guns to smash down, but Zhu Jinhu stopped them, and just cut the opponent's hands behind their backs. He himself had been hit by the butts of his guns, and if he smashed these dozen butts, he would die if he didn't get it. Because of his similar origins and experiences, out of sympathy, he didn't want to watch this young man die in front of him.

The young man turned his head sideways, an expression of disbelief on his face. He looked at Zhu Jinhu and said unwillingly: "Let me eat enough, you can't catch up with me......"

Zhu Jinhu shook his head, didn't argue with him, pulled him up, and escorted him back to his original place.

Several helpers got up proudly, raised their whips and were about to come over to whip them, muttering: "Fuck your uncle, dare to run, Lao Tzu won't kill you......"

Zhu Jinhu stood quietly in front of the young man, glared at these gangsters, and said in a deep voice: "How to deal with him is not up to you. ”

Seeing the Qiong Navy soldiers come forward, a few gangs died down, their arrogance was completely gone, and they withdrew their whips in a mocking manner, and said with a smile: "What the military master said is ......"

Panda stepped forward to round the field, squeezed out a smile and said, "Several, they just want to do this errand well, and they don't mean to be offended." ”

When the people saw this scene, they felt extremely relieved. Although the people were captured by the soldiers, what they really feared and hated was Panda and his minions, not to mention the joy in their hearts when they saw these invincible fellows eating in front of the soldiers.

Xia Nan appeared at a critical time, he slowly paced over, and asked sternly: "What's the matter, what are you doing here?" ”

Seeing that Xia Nan was coming, Pan Da hurriedly stepped forward and told him about the situation, and then took the opportunity to give eye medicine to these people who did not obey discipline: "Master Hou, these mud-legged people don't know what to do, they don't obey discipline, they dare to beat people, and then run away, they should be severely punished!" ”

In fact, Xia Nan had already seen it in his eyes, but he was just pretending to be confused. After listening to Panda's explanation, he was noncommittal, and instead asked the young man who had been arrested: "Young man, what's your name, why did you run away?" ”

When this young man heard that this big man was still a marquis, although he was a little apprehensive, he was not stage frightened, and replied: "The little one's name is Xiang Yu, a native of Changping." Although the little one thanked the Hou Ye for saving us from the Tartars, he didn't want to go to sea, but the steward whipped us indiscriminately, and didn't give the little one a chance to defend himself at all, so he had no choice but to run. ”

Xia Nan listened, turned to Panda, and asked sternly: "Let you run an errand, it's not for you to be prestigious, if you have something to say, why do you whip at every turn?" "The sound was just loud enough for everyone around me to hear.

When the people heard this, they nodded one after another, this Hou Ye is a good person, and these subordinates do evil, and it is not good to count it on his old man's head.

Panda has been in the officialdom for so many years, where can he not see Xia Nan's thoughts, it is nothing more than singing white-faced to be a villain, he sings red-faced to be a good person! didn't explain at the moment, but replied resignedly: "The lower official knows." ”

Xia Nan turned his head and said to the people around him: "Fathers and fellow villagers, I am Xia Nan, the chief soldier of Qionghai Town, who was wrongly loved by the emperor, and was named the Marquis of Nanping and awarded the general, managing both the army and the people. This time the immigrants went to sea to reclaim the famine, which is also the meaning of the imperial court. Because the land of Gyeonggi was almost razed to the ground by the Tatars, the government could not afford to provide relief for so many people, so I was asked to undertake this trip to the sea. This is true and false, mixed with a lot of water.

His words are approachable, there is no high-minded official tone, and he speaks to his father and fellow villagers, which flatters the people. This is the marquis personally appointed by the emperor, or a general, such a big man, willing to lower his body and explain to the people in person, full of sincerity, which makes people have to believe it. I heard that it was still the meaning of the imperial court, and the resistance in the hearts of the people gradually weakened. Yes, the Tartars burned and plundered, and their hometowns were burned to the ground, what can they do when they go back, beg for food or flee?

For Xia Nan, who grew up in the new era, he has been familiar with our party's successful experience in uniting the masses, and it is not a matter of lowering his stature and narrowing the distance between him and the masses.

He continued: "On this trip, half of the people went to Qiongzhou Mansion and half of them went to Dongfan Island, one in the south and one in the east. Don't worry about safety, our ship is big and stable, and it is like walking on flat ground for thousands of miles, and these tens of thousands of troops also take such a ship to the capital to fight the Tartars; As for reclamation, you don't have to worry, the land you have reclaimed is your own, and the taxes you have to pay are less than 30% of your hometown. If you really don't want to beg for a living over there, you can come back after a year and a half. ”

The people looked at each other, and according to that, it was a good thing to go to sea. If they are in their hometown, even if the Tartars don't come, their lives will be almost unbearable, and the tax burden will be heavy. And now they promise to give themselves the land they reclaim, and the tax is only 30% of the original, which is simply the difference between heaven and earth. Not to mention that you can choose to go back inland after a year.
