Baosheng is like a paradise, surprisingly quiet. If there are no external factors involved, maybe in another five hundred years, its changes will only be that the old people are getting older, the moss is overgrown, the stone slabs on the road are deeply rutted, and the house may still be the same. The house and the stone tower still stand proudly.
Time has no meaning here. The passage of time from spring to autumn is just another person sitting in front of the door and watching the sunset.
The people here will never be remembered by history. Their status in history is like a grain of sand in the vast sea. They can only drift with the tide and cannot choose their own direction.
Liang Chuan followed Nong Da. He wanted to extend his butcher knife to these civilians. To be honest, he was a little reluctant to do so.
Their simplicity is touching.
Children will still laugh at him, and old people will nod at him. People are busy with their own things, but there will be no conflicts. Everyone performs their duties and understands what they want to do, and there will not be so much leisure to care about others. thing. Walking on the street, there are almost no people doing business. The old man leads the cow and walks calmly. The woman weaves cloth in front of the house. The children play simple games in small groups.
But Liang Chuan knew that they were civilians at this time. After picking up the sword, they became soldiers.
This place was called Laojie in later generations. Liang Chuan remembered that there would also be a place called Zuo Laoshan!
There, countless mothers have lost their sons, countless brothers have lost their siblings, and countless wives can only stay in empty houses. The people here were also very simple at that time, but after the war between the two countries, no one was innocent. They took up arms and were more vicious than anyone else! Especially these seemingly harmless people, they will show no mercy when they take action! Many soldiers let their guard down just because they saw their target was a woman or a weak person, and ended up staying in that place forever!
If Liang Chuan knew the ins and outs of why he came to South Vietnam, he would not feel any psychological burden.
[In view of the general environment,
Amnesia is a gift from these people!
Of course, it was impossible for Liang Chuan to know at this time, and no one told him!
If he was asked to choose, one of the two would survive, the Nong people or the Yue people. He could only choose the Nong people to survive!
If he saw Lao Mazi Nonglie and others die in front of his own eyes, the guilt and self-blame in his heart would be even greater!
"When I came to South Vietnam, I entered from Baosheng. After all, I am quite familiar with this place!"
Nong Da led Liang Chuan to walk on the streets of Baosheng. The two of them paid great attention to various situations here, including the local customs and the flow of people.
They didn't see any officers and soldiers. They came to South Vietnam and visited several places, but they didn't see these soldiers guarding the city.
"It seems that the original arrangement was correct. If I hadn't asked you to come here first, I would have to find out a lot of information in advance!"
Liang Chuan thought there were no officers and soldiers here, so Nong Da pointed to the north road of the city: "People going to Dali will be interrogated there!"
When Liang Chuan heard this, he immediately stopped and asked Nong Daodao without going any further, "How many people are guarding there!"
"Not many, they come in turns. I remember there were only about a hundred of them before. During the day, there would be about a dozen of them standing guard to check the hunt!"
There are more than a hundred people, Liang Chuan murmured in his mind, this number is not that many!
This can be regarded as the national gate. South Vietnam only sent more than a hundred people to guard here. Are they really so relieved about Dali?
Actually, not
It is South Vietnam that is not wary of Dali. No country can completely trust another country! They are just helpless!
The Northeast is at war with the Song Dynasty, and that is the strength of the whole country! There has been no war in the northwest since the fall of Nanzhao, and there has been no conflict between the people of the two countries. In addition, the population here is small, there is no trade, no precious resources, and nothing worth protecting, and the center of gravity of South Vietnam is not Will put it here.
Even if a fight breaks out here, it won't be too late for South Vietnam to send troops from Thang Long City. It is better than putting a large number of troops on
It's much stronger here!
If too many troops are placed in a place far away from one's own eyes, any emperor will not be able to sleep peacefully!
"How did you bring the salt here in the first place!"
Liang Chuan watched for a while, and he found that these Yue people were very careful in checking the goods. Whether it was on their backs or on their cars, as long as it was cleared through customs, they would check it out!
South Vietnam’s control over salt is also outrageous!
The important means of controlling the people of the Chinese civilization relies on that humble salt!
In coastal areas like Thanh Hoa Province, it may not be difficult to get salt, but in places like Ha Giang or Bo Thanh, if you want to get salt, then It’s just so difficult!
Fortunately, Dali in the north has a relaxed salt policy!
Therefore, there is a large amount of salt smuggled from Dali on the black market!
Not many people want to come to Baosheng, a hellish place, but those who want to come come here just to make a fortune!
These interrogating officers and soldiers are making money from private salt dealers!
"I brought it here from the front!" Nong Da said unhurriedly, but Liang Chuan was also surprised.
"Won't they take your salt?"
"No, they prefer us to smuggle salt!" Nong Da said an answer that surprised Liang Chuan.
"If we don't smuggle, they won't make any money. The more salt we smuggle, the happier they will be!"
NTU told a cruel truth.
Whether or not to crack down on smuggling is of little difference and significance to these officers and soldiers at the lowest level. They even have the same idea. If more private salt comes in, the common people will be able to eat cheap and good salt. If it is completely banned, the lives of ordinary people will only become more difficult!
They are doing a good deed.
Liang Chuan understands this truth.
If you understand something from a different perspective, your thoughts will be completely different.
"Do you know when these people will change shifts?"
Liang Chuan observed for a while and found that this group of people was worse than the Imperial Alliance Army. They had no standing posture. The rice fields after a typhoon were lying at the entrance. Only a few people were constantly checking, and they looked ruthless. willing!
"One team in the afternoon, one team in the evening, and another team in the middle of the night."
Nong Da sighed in his heart. This group of people was probably in trouble. They had benefited from them in the past, although they also received a lot of money. They are always very fair when they take money to do things, and there will never be any betrayal.
In recent years, Dali has been smuggling fewer people into South Vietnam because they have to bear huge risks. Dali has been much better off in recent years, and the domestic environment has become much more friendly to the people. Everyone can live a good life, and no one wants to. Don't take such a big risk again.
"Do you know where they live?"
Nong Da hesitated, and Liang Chuan said, "Did Nong Roe deer back then be soft on your brothers and family just because you didn't attack them?"
Nong Da looked at Liang Chuan's face. There was no expression on the face, and the tone of his speech was very calm, but it was like punching him in the chest and waking him up!
Now that things have come to this, no matter how benevolent a woman is, she can't live with herself!
"Come with me!"
Nong Da led Liang Chuan to the place where Baosheng's guards lived to investigate. These people were so lax that they probably didn't even think that one day the flames of war would burn their heads.
"Didn't you say that you also have a batch of money that is still in Baosheng?"
"Yes, I didn't dare to take too much money out at once for fear of being suspected by others. I originally wanted to take it away several times, but then there was civil strife in Dali itself. When I went back to look for Mr. Di, I couldn't find anyone. I can only postpone this matter for now!"
"You did the right thing!"
Liang Chuan had only unconditional trust in Nongda.
The salt-making technology has been completely given to Nongda. He is fully capable and well-organized.
He wanted to start his own business, but he still returned to him without hesitation and lived and died with him. This friendship alone cannot be measured by a few dollars!
Moreover, Baosheng was brought here by Nongda University. If Liang Chuan had any distrust in Nongda University, it would be really inhumane!
After walking around the entire city, Liang Chuan knew about half of this place that didn't even have a city wall!
"Wait until everyone has gone to sleep in the middle of the night before we start!"
Liang Chuan took Nongda out of the city. More than 3,000 people looked excited at this small town of nearly 20,000 people.
Liang Chuan has ordered that not a single person will be left alive in the city today, not even a single floor of the house will be left, all will be burned and killed, leaving no trace of the South Vietnamese. Although it is a bit cruel, everyone will think of the South Vietnamese last year. No one feels they have any sense of guilt for the crimes they committed in Guangyuan!
Wu Yong divided the entire Baosheng into five areas, each area was responsible for 500 people. Liang Chuan personally took the 500 young people to deal with the more than 100 officers and soldiers guarding the city. Those people may be all The city’s strongest combat power.
The most troublesome task at night is not to escape any one family member, so move quickly. The five troops must advance at the same time, and each of them must assign many people to be responsible for observation. No one can escape!
After chasing for a day and a night, Liang Chuan asked everyone to rest on the mountain. After all, the time of action was in the middle of the night. It was still a long time before midnight. The mountain was so quiet that there were only the chirping of insects. The other animals had been infected by the murderous aura. Just ran away without a trace!
No one could sleep, they were so nervous that they felt like they were having sex.
The lights at the foot of the mountain were slowly extinguished one by one, until finally, the entire Baosheng returned to darkness, with only sporadic flames in the darkness, letting people know that there were still people living here.
"Xianmei!"
Everyone was ordered to hold a wooden stick in their mouths, so that no one could help but say something and alarm the people at the foot of the mountain. Everyone took out the knives on their backs and used cloths on them. The hands were wrapped around several times. The older people were not good at melee combat. According to the prior arrangement, they were responsible for observing and looking out for the wind, leading their bows in the distance to prepare for a fatal blow!
