Chapter 45: The Villains Ambush the Criminals
The old village chief Zhao Hongyuan persuaded hard here, and the surrounding crowd complained from time to time that the old village chief was nosy, and the angry crowd was ready to move, seeing that the situation was in danger of getting out of control at any time! Zhao Hongyuan was already sweating urgently on his head.
At this critical moment, a broken shout sounded behind the crowd: "Stop!" What are you doing? The sound was as shocking as the spring thunder, and the thousands of peasant self-defense troops at the scene were like being collectively cast a silence spell, and they instantly became silent! Just now, it was still a noisy scene like a big bazaar, and suddenly a quiet pin drop could be heard!
"Humph!" Zheng Guotai snorted heavily and strode into the crowd. Wherever he went, the crowd automatically split to both sides, making way for him a passage more than two meters wide. The peasant self-defense soldiers looked at the leader Zheng who walked quickly into the field, either in awe, shame, or eagerness, and the eyes of thousands of people moved with the movement of the leader Zheng.
Whether it is Shi Lei or Zheng Guotai, both of them are calm, looking around under the gaze of thousands of people. Zheng Guotai took the lead, Shi Lei followed, followed by Wang Hua and hundreds of soldiers. Although these soldiers were dressed as peasants, they were more powerful than the Self-Defense Army soldiers in the stadium who had changed into national army uniforms.
When he was still forty or fifty meters away from the besieged national army, Zheng Guotai suddenly stopped, thought about it for a while, turned around and walked towards the dirt slope in Erligang. All the soldiers of the Self-Defense Forces never said a word, just looked at Zheng Guotai intently, and the crowd automatically gave way wherever he walked. Those who stood in the back and couldn't see the honor of Leader Zheng also stood quietly, listening with their ears pricked up, as if they were ready to listen to what Leader Zheng had to say.
Walking up the dirt slope and standing on Erligang, Zheng Guotai glanced around with his eyes, and loudly announced with a solemn expression: "Fellow villagers! After this greeting, Shi Lei, who was standing behind Leader Zheng, almost didn't laugh, the expression on his face was distorted, and he quickly reached out and pretended to rub his eyes to cover up the past.
"I know you hate those bureaucrats, you hate the scum who ruined your family! You hate, I hate too! However, the state has national laws, the family has family rules, and we must pay attention to the rules when doing things! You work in the fields during the day and go home and sleep at night, that's the rule! Have you ever heard of someone who works in the fields at night and sleeps at home during the day? Didn't you? That is, you big guys know how to follow the rules! Zheng Guotai's simple and easy-to-understand reasoning was obviously very angry with these peasant self-defense troops, and as soon as his voice fell, there was a cheer in all directions!
"Good!" "Yes!" The speech of the leader of Zheng Da received an excellent response!
"So, will the folks listen to me?" After the foreshadowing is over, it is time to set the back set, Zheng Guotai's standard speech routine is actually very popular among the peasant self-defense army!
"Listen! Let's listen to Leader Zheng! ”
"Leader Zheng, say it, let's all listen! Whoever doesn't listen, who's raised by a son of a bitch! ”
"Okay, since the big guys listen to me, then I'll just say it. He Zhanghai, the commander-in-chief of the guerrillas in the Henan-Hubei border region, is a senior official appointed by the national military government, and he has not robbed us of our grain or killed our relatives, so we cannot touch him. If you move him, you will rebel! Our peasant self-defense army is not a rebel thief, we are just defending ourselves, our wives and children! The chief adjutant He Fang, who harmed the township and the people, is a heinous crime! Zhao Hongyuan, you go and arrest He Fang, let's hold a public trial meeting, and all the grievances of the villagers will be made clear, let Commander He also listen, what good things his people have done! ”
"Catch He Fang out!" The crowd shouted like a tsunami.
"Medium! I'm going to catch that scum! Zhao Hongyuan gritted his teeth, pulled his legs and drilled into the ranks of the national army.
"What? Do? What are you going to do? The encirclement of the national army shouted in terror, raising guns to try to stop the peasant self-defense army from breaking in. But in the face of hundreds of angry peasants, the resistance of the national army seemed so pale and powerless.
He Zhanghai in the team was pale, hiding in the group of guards without saying a word. Zheng Guotai said what he said just now, and he vaguely heard it, knowing that his life was not in danger today, Commander-in-Chief He breathed a sigh of relief and at the same time, the fire in his heart also rose suddenly, it turned out that the peasant ** who made such a big disturbance in southwest Henan was all led by He Fang, the chief adjutant! Put you in charge of conscription and taxes, and you actually did it like this!
"Bastard, bastard! Let go of me, do you know who I am? I am the chief adjutant of the guerrilla general command! If you dare to arrest me, you will rebel! Facing the menacing group of peasants, the chief adjutant He Fang scolded angrily, scolded a few words to see that it was ineffective, and quickly turned his head to look at He Zhanghai, "Commander-in-chief, commander-in-chief, help!" ”
"Humph! You can handle the good things you do yourself! He Zhanghai couldn't wait to take out his gun and kill this chief adjutant with his own hands right now! If it weren't for him, would his dignified lieutenant general and commander-in-chief be so embarrassed? You still want me to save your life? you! He Zhanghai angrily reprimanded He Fang and turned his face to look elsewhere, he didn't care!
"Fellow folks, brothers! We have no grievances in the near future, and we have no enemies in the near future, I haven't offended you! Folks, let me go this time! "Adjutant He, who is usually majestic, is about to cry now.
"Tell you to rob my family's food! Tell you to hit my daddy! ”
"Mother, why didn't you cry when you spoiled my wife? Will you cry now? Bah! ”
"You bastard! Why didn't you cry when you sent someone to arrest me? Fortunately, Lao Tzu runs fast, and if you run slower, you won't be able to come back! ”
People scolded angrily, fought, this twisted, that kicked, dragged He Fang out of the ranks of the national army, dragged all the way to fight, and the person was already dead before he was brought to the leader of Zheng Da. By the time a group of people dragged He Fang to Zheng Guotai, this guy had turned into a pile of rotten meat, and he didn't even have a personal appearance, where was his life?
He Fang alone obviously can't completely stop the anger of the peasants, this guy can't do so many bad things alone. Zhao Hongyuan led the villagers to find out more than a dozen bad kinds from the ranks of the national army, including officers and soldiers, and everyone was arrested, and there was always a group of people crying and shouting and rushing up to fight, denouncing the bad things these guys had done.
Normally, you may not care about it, but when it comes to a concentrated outbreak, it will be quite appalling. In particular, when the victims cried out about their tragic experiences and angrily denounced the heinous crimes of those criminals, not only Zheng Guotai and Shi Lei, the representatives of the righteous side, but even He Zhanghai, the guerrilla commander of the Henan-Hubei border region who represented the evil side, smacked their tongues. Deserve! deceived and deceived the subordinates, did so many hurtful things, and deserved to die!
