I heard that people from Jishitang and Qiao Family Courtyard were giving porridge outside Jinshan Temple, and nearby refugees came over.
In just a few days, the number of refugees has exceeded 300,000, and more refugees are arriving one after another.
What Xu Xian snatched from the Zhenjiang Mansion warehouse was half a year's supply of military rations for Wujiang Camp.
Although I saved my food, more than a month later, more than 300,000 refugees still ate it.
In more than a month, Xu Xian did nothing. He selected 9,000 strong and outstanding young people from the refugees to form the Refugee Self-Defense Force for training.
These refugees are mainly from Zhenjiang Prefecture, but some are also from nearby prefectures and counties.
The elderly, weak, sick and disabled account for half.
Some of them attacked their companions or people along the way and were guilty of crimes, so they were eliminated by Xu Xian.
Some have been in a state of hunger for a long time and their physique is too poor to withstand the torment, so they fall down directly after training.
Because there is a serious shortage of food, it will not be enough to support the next spring, and there is a need to economize. The average refugee can only eat gruel to survive starvation.
The nine thousand self-defense forces are fed, they are trained, and their responsibility is to protect other refugees.
The Refugee Self-Defense Force was formed under Xu Xian's promotion. As for the management, Xu Xian served as the leader, and Hui Jue, Qiao Er, and Qiao San served as deputy leaders.
An ordinary regiment has 1,000 men, a reinforced regiment has 3,000 men, and a division has 6,000 to 10,000 men. The Refugee Self-Defense Force actually has one division.
Xu Xian did not serve as a teacher to avoid misunderstandings about what kind of teacher Xu Xian was.
Da Chu's establishment was not used, also to avoid suspicion. Da Chu did not have a regiment leader, so Xu Xian became the leader.
The initial training of the Red Shadow Army in Shushan World also started with modern military training. When the training is almost complete, they will then conduct eight formation training.
Xu Xian also started training refugees with modern military training.
At first, Xu Xian personally led it. After seven days, Xu Xian became the manager and handed it over to Hui Jue, Qiao Er and Qiao San.
"Take a break! Stand at attention! Walk together, 121——"
Waves of sonorous and powerful commands came one after another, and the military training officially kicked off.
On the beach near Jinshan Temple, under the leadership of Hui Jue, Qiao Er, and Qiao San, the Nine Thousand Self-Defense Forces carefully learned actions such as standing at attention, taking a breath, saluting, and turning around while stopping.
They stood in a tall military posture, with their hands on the seam of their trousers, looking forward, with determination in their eyes.
The purpose of military training is to enhance the collectivism and heroism of the Refugee Self-Defense Forces, strengthen organizational concepts, strictly abide by organizational disciplines, and cultivate the willpower to endure hardships, endure hardships and live plainly.
To give full play to the power of the eight formation diagrams, let everyone cooperate with each other, and use the formation to mobilize the power of heaven and earth, it is necessary to implement orders and prohibitions.
The purpose of military training is to enhance the physical strength and endurance of the refugee self-defense forces, and most importantly, to enable them to form a conditioned reflex to execute orders without hesitation when given.
After more than a month of training, they were basically able to do it well. Next, Xu Xian began to teach the simplified version of the eight formations.
Xu Xian's training of the army was actually a bit against the rules, but he had to do it. The 30,000 troops of Wujiang camp were stationed nearby, forming an invisible deterrent to the refugees and making him feel very insecure.
With these 9,000 refugee self-defense forces, Xu Xian had the power to protect himself against the 30,000 Wujiang Camp troops.
Qiao Da's situation was the most embarrassing. Although Qin Hui said that Wujiang Camp was stationed near Jinshan Temple to take advantage of the chaos to grab money, he had an intuition that what Qin Hui really wanted to deal with was Xu Xian and the Qiao family.
Qin Hui refused to open a warehouse to provide disaster relief, so Xu Xian led the refugees to rob the Zhenjiang government warehouse of military rations.
Chu Huizong did not dare to say a thing about Xu Xian's rebellious behavior and even rewarded him. However, Qin Hui was punished by Chu Huizong and paraded through the streets for three days.
The flame of hatred was burning in Qin Hui's heart, and he was just looking for a suitable opportunity to take action.
Liang Tan and Qin Hui were in collusion, and were also controlled by Qin Hui. When the time came, Qin Hui ordered Wujiang Camp to take action against Xu Xian and the Qiao family. The military orders were like mountains, and Wujiang Camp had only the duty to execute them. Violators would be punished by military law.
By then, Qiao Da was in an awkward situation.
If Qiao Da were the commander of the capital, he could secretly send someone to kill Qin Hui.
But Qiao Da was just the deputy commander of the capital. If he made any move, someone would report it to Liang Tan.
The crime of murdering his superior Qin Hui was to punish the Nine Clans.
After careful consideration, Qiao Da contacted Xu Xian through Qiao Er, and the two parties met secretly to discuss a strategy of integrating internal and external cooperation.
If Wujiang Camp really wants to deal with Xu Xian and the Qiao family, Qiao will launch a rebellion among his cronies and cooperate with the Refugee Self-Defense Force inside and outside.
Xu Xian asked Qiao Da not to make any moves to avoid being discovered.
Even if the Refugee Self-Defense Force cannot deal with Wujiang Camp, he can summon a thousand Red Shadow Army from Shushan, which will be enough to overwhelm Wujiang Camp.
The Red Shadow Army is Xu Xian's hidden trump card, and Xu Xian does not intend to use it until the last moment.
Xu Xian's real enemy is not Wujiangying, but Jinshan Temple.
Before starting a war with Jinshan Temple, it is not appropriate to reveal your trump card.
Qiao Da didn't want to be useless, he wanted to be the chess piece that decided the outcome of the battle. Because he acted too hastily, he was betrayed while developing his power.
Qin Hui said that Qiao Da was a member of Fang Bandit and wanted to cooperate with Fang Bandit's people inside and outside to seize Zhenjiang Mansion.
Officials from all over the south of the Yangtze River can act expediently on all the chaos caused by Fang bandits. They can be executed directly without the need for an imperial edict.
In order to disgust Xu Xian, Qin Hui did not deal with Qiao Da immediately. Instead, he had people spread the word that Qiao Da was a gangster and a rebel. He also told everyone to take a warning and not to overestimate their capabilities like Qiao Da, so as not to endanger the Nine Clan. crime.
The Qiao family was supported by Chu Huizong's Xingchu Alliance. Qin Hui did not dare to bite, lest he offend Chu Huizong. The evidence of Qiao Da's rebellion was conclusive, and Qin Hui was only targeting Qiao Da.
The day to kill Qiao Da was also set, at three quarters of noon thirty days later.
If the execution place is in the government office, Xu Xian can directly lead people to rob it.
It's a pity that Qin Hui imprisoned Qiao Da in Jinshan Temple.
Jinshan Temple is not simple, but it is not that easy to break into. No matter how many people you take there, you may die.
Qin Hui imprisoned Qiao Da in Jinshan Temple and executed him at Jinshan Temple thirty days later. Liang Tan was also confused.
The reason Qin Hui gave was that this place was too far from the government office. In order to avoid traveling back and forth, he had to borrow a quiet place in Buddhism.
What confused Liang Tan even more was that Jinshan Temple was not only willing to lend Qin Hui a place to imprison Qiao Da, but also agreed to Qin Hui's execution of Qiao Da at Jinshan Temple.
Jinshan Temple is not peaceful, and the temple is full of evil monks who do all kinds of evil, but there has never been a precedent of lending it to the government as a place of execution.
Qin Hui also had another magic trick. He asked Liang Tan to go to the Qiao family compound to find Qiao Er and Qiao San, and sent Qiao Long back.
Qin Hui also asked Liang Tan to reassure Qiao Er and Qiao San that Qiao Da was bewitched by Fang Bandit, and he would do whatever he did and he would not implicate innocent people. Qiao Long did not know about it and would not punish him. There were all good people in the Qiao Family Courtyard. Nor will it be pursued.
After Liang Tan comforted the Qiao family, he left the Qiao family full of doubts. The Qiao family also put a big question mark on Qiao Long's safe return?
Could it be that Qiao Long's betrayal led to Qiao Da's exposure?
Qiao Long had no idea what was going on. He and Qiao Da were arrested together and were sent back inexplicably. They faced the suspicion and vigilance of their family members.
Qiao Long was going crazy, roaring in his heart:
"I don't know anything, I didn't betray my father!"
However, it was useless, no one could hear the cry in his heart, no matter where he went, his family would avoid him.
Qiao Long hated this situation. He didn't want to see anyone and locked himself in the room.
However, the Qiao family still suspected that he had a conspiracy and was making plans that were detrimental to the Qiao family.
Qiao Er felt the depressive atmosphere in the Qiao family, but could not solve it. He found Xu Xian and expressed his confusion.
Xu Xian said:
"Find someone to monitor Qiao Long and not allow him to leave the door.
Food is almost at the bottom. Tomorrow we will gather all the troops and go to Jinshan Temple to borrow food. "
