Qingyuan City quickly returned to the control of the army. Liang Chuan followed Gao Chun and was immediately sent to defend the city again. This time he did not dare to let anyone enter the city no matter what.
Si Fangxing stood next to Duan Peng. This kid simply sat on the ground, panting heavily. Firstly, he was too fat and was exhausted after even a little exercise. Secondly, he was really scared. This time he was held responsible. I'm just afraid that he will be unlucky!
How can he think about meddling in other things? His butt is already full of fire.
Duan Peng looked at Liang Chuan and said, "Fortunately, Sanlang, you came with reinforcements, otherwise the hundreds of thousands of people in this city would be in trouble!"
Liang Chuan clasped his fists: "What did you say? It's clear that you led the residents to work together to overcome the difficulties. It's all because of your fight to the death. Is there anyone else in the building?"
As soon as Liang Chuan said that, Duan Peng reacted and immediately led people back to the ruins of Weiyuan Tower. The building was razed to the ground, and there was no life inside. Duan Peng shouted: "Move the bricks and tiles quickly, Mr. Huang is still inside!"
Everyone put the prisoners aside for the time being, and worked together to move away the accumulated waste. The bricks and tiles were shattered all over the floor, and what they brought out were already cold corpses. Huang Shaoping had been dead for a long time.
Everyone looked at Huang Shaoping's body in silence.
Every year in the Great Song Dynasty, scholars were like crucian carp crossing the river, but there were only a few who could leap over the dragon's gate, and the ones who could reach Huang Shaoping's position were even rarer. It is no exaggeration to say that he was the only one among ten thousand.
In a few years, Huang Shaoping will be able to return to his hometown to be a village sage, set up a college to cultivate a few students, and further extend his ideals and ambitions. It's a pity that the damn pirates invaded Qingyuan, and this old man was killed. Sentenced to be buried in the soil.
Huang Shaoping is old and frail. He wants to kill thieves but is unable to lift a sword. When Duan Peng wanted to rush out, he was also full of enthusiasm. But Duan Peng didn't dare to let him take risks, so he asked him to sit in the Weiyuan Building. The building was there and the people were there.
Now that the building is gone, so are the people. . Gone.
"Collect the body of Mr. Huang. Mr. Huang died for the people of this city. I will report to the court for preferential treatment and care for the orphans. The colleagues in the building who died for the court must also arrange their funerals. We can't be cold. Other people’s hearts!”
Although Huang Shaoping was dissatisfied with Duan Peng's promotion so quickly, the two had no principled differences. They had been together for many years and even felt like they had met each other late.
Although everyone is not worth it for Huang Shaoping, life and death are not up to anyone, and it is more important to take care of the funeral.
The flames burning in the city began to extinguish, and the city began to return to calm, but behind this calm gradually became a sense of desolation. Wails came from many homes at night, which were the tragic calls of the relatives of the deceased after they passed away.
Su Wei entered the city and soon met Liang Chuan.
Liang Chuan said to Su Wei: "How is the war at the old Wei city gate?"
Su Wei said softly: "Most of the pirates have retreated, and a few are still hiding in the city. They cannot be cleaned up in a short time."
"These people can't hide for long. If we don't trouble them, the people won't let them go. The most critical thing right now is the repair work. The people in the city have suffered too much, and our porridge sheds have to be rebuilt. To let the homeless people live, you can arrange for people to go to the Wanda Chamber of Commerce and donate all the materials stored in our chamber of commerce and the dock. Whoever needs it can claim it. If their identity is verified clearly, we will help those who need it. Please help!" Su Wei sincerely admired Liang Chuan's courage, and seeing the criticality of the problem at a glance, he immediately arranged for someone to follow Liang Chuan's instructions.
The Wanda Chamber of Commerce itself suffered a lot of losses. It was located in the most prosperous area and had long been the target of pirates. Fortunately, the warehouse was not in the same place as the storefront, so there was quite a lot of goods accumulated.
No one expected that this day would become a day of sorrow for the people of Qingyuan, and the most needed material would be the white cloth for wrapping the corpse!
Either relatives who joined the army died or were massacred by pirates, and every household lost several members of its family.
The destructive power of thousands of pirates left the city unable to recover for many years.
With Weiyuan Tower gone, Duan Peng could only temporarily move the government office to the Qingyuan County government office.
The doctors of the Black Cross were working hard. There were too many people injured in the city, so many that they could hardly stop. The pirates' swords were very sharp. One strike was almost fatal, and most of the survivors would be injured in the next life. incomplete.
Fortunately, Liang Chuan also formed this unit. Many doctors in the city did not even dare to open the door, let alone treat the wounded in the city. Several leaders of the Black Cross Society, such as An Yisheng, are not participating in the battle. They are still on Liu'ao Island. The others are all apprentices brought here, and they specialize in trauma and orthopedics, which cause the most injuries on the battlefield.
Weiyuan Tower also has its own warehouse, but unfortunately it has been almost burned in the war, and the supplies left behind are not even enough for the people in their own house.
Seeing this, Liang Chuan did not hesitate and asked people to go to Zhuang Xiang to collect all the medicine from their dealer, in order to tide over the difficulties!
After this battle, Qingyuan City may be set back more than fifty years. . Not only the economy, but also the population has been severely damaged. .
Duan Peng was angry. He wanted to know why this war came so suddenly. He had been sitting in the Xinghua Army for many years without any fighting. Only a few days after arriving in Qingyuan, such a cruel war happened!
The atmosphere in the lobby of the county government seemed to be solidifying.
Duan Peng's face was so dark that he wanted to kill someone! No chief official can sit back and watch his territory turn into ashes.
The pirates came so suddenly, and the city defenses were ineffective. They allowed the enemy to attack so easily. Even his own government office was blown up. The most serious thing was that the judge also died in office. Which point could he point out? Duan Peng There is no way to explain it to the court!
"Bring me here!"
Gao Chun pulled Pu Geng up like a dead dog. At this time, he didn't still have the demeanor of the wealthy man with a huge wealth in the past. He was thrown to the ground and his life and death were unknown.
The yamen servant brought a basin of water and poured water on him to wake him up. Duan Peng immediately issued a lottery ticket and said he would be tortured first!
No matter what Pu Geng did, collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country is a capital crime. The severe punishment is just an appetizer, and there will be more cruel tricks later!
"My Healing Game"
Everyone looked at this rich man with no regrets at all. What was a pity was who would benefit from his countless wealth in the end!
The shackles were placed on Pu Geng's hands. The pain was so severe that the man rolled on the ground in pain.
Duan Peng cursed loudly and said: "Tell me, why are you with these strong bandits, and where did these strong bandits come from? If I recruit them all, I will leave your body intact!"
Pu Geng cursed loudly: "It's good luck that the dog officer didn't kill you at night. Why come with me? When I, Pu Geng, came out to conquer the world, you didn't know where you were eating the milk of some little girl. If you die, you will die. I Even if you are a ghost, I will not let you go... You, Liang Chuan, I will not let you go!"
Liang Chuan sneered from the side: "Your fucking mouth is as hard as the floor!"
Duan Peng waved his hand to stop the scolding between Liang Chuan and him. He didn't know what the grudge between the two was, but it seemed that Liang Chuan must know some secrets inside!
Liang Chuan smiled and told everything he knew. He even told the source of pirate gunpowder.
Pu Geng was so shocked that he couldn't believe why Liang Chuan knew so many things!
Duan Peng had come into contact with gunpowder. The gunpowder department in Qingyuan reported several documents, which stated that these gunpowders were often lost. He did not expect that these things almost killed him!
"My son was found by Murong Chao, and I'm not afraid of you knowing it. In exchange, I will give him the gunpowder, and then we will capture Qingyuan together. Then I will use the same methods you used to deal with my son to attack your side. People, let you also experience this feeling."
"You didn't expect that I was so stubborn. Didn't that Murong Chao you mentioned kill me?"
"I have long seen that this person is an embroidered pillow. I only hate that I am too old. If I were to be ten years younger, I would plan carefully and make sure that you, Liang Chuan, were buried with my son!"
Liang Chuan choked: "I didn't kill your son, I'll say it for the last time~!"
The more Liang Chuan put aside his responsibility, the more Pu Geng wanted to get up and fight Liang Chuan, but the government servant pinned him to the ground. Poor Pu Geng lost everything. In order to take revenge, even their ancestors' inheritance was lost.
This kid had a tough mouth in the end. Before he died, he didn't want to take advantage of Liang Chuan, so he didn't say a word and let Duan Peng be escorted back to prison.
Abdullah was brought up next. Almost all the hundreds of people under his command were dead, and he was the only bandit leader left.
"You're a foreign barbarian, how can you offend the majesty of our dynasty? Come on, let me be tortured!"
Abdullah did not have the deep hatred of Pu Geng. He was just temporarily obsessed with Pu Geng's gunpowder. The two of them hooked up during the construction of the mosque in Liangchuan. One provided skills, the other provided manpower, and each had their own agenda. I wanted to eat the meat in pieces, but I never thought that Liang Chuan was not a piece of meat waiting to be slaughtered, but an iron plate!
Poor two people, they were taken advantage of and they didn't even know their origins!
Murong Chao's level was extraordinary, and he did a very good job of keeping secrets. After being waited on by Da Xing for a long time, the two of them could not find out even a single ounce of useful information about the origins of this group of pirates!
Duan Peng looked at Liang Chuan, and Liang Chuan nodded, indicating that this matter could not be rushed. The most important thing at the moment was how to rebuild the city, and how to give an explanation to the court.
It doesn't make sense that he, the governor of the state, has to give way to Xian!
If it were an ordinary enemy, it would be easy to handle, but there is obviously an insider, and there are people in the city to help. This is obviously a long-planned strategy.
What surprised him most was why the soldiers in Weiyuan Tower were so weak in battle, and even many of the armors they should have been equipped with disappeared. Instead, a group of people appeared in the city, seemingly Liang Chuan's men, but wearing Imperial court-standard equipment. .
Duan Peng looked at Si Fangxing with a meaningful look in his eyes. .
