In the early morning of the next day, the sun was still shining brightly. Su Yu received news from Liao Yuanliang in the compound, saying that the recruitment of the five reserve divisions had been completed and they would be able to enter the recruit training stage next month.
This news made Su Yu very happy.
Now, he is accumulating strength. As the saying goes, raising an army for a thousand days and using it for a while. Everything he is doing now is for future explosion.
"commander!"
The Propaganda Minister quickly came to Su Yu and shouted, "Last night, the garrison headquarters sent troops to rob food. 23 shops had been robbed, and the food in the hands of many merchants and ordinary people was also robbed. Now at least people gathered in front of the garrison headquarters. Hundreds of thousands of people.”
"We took all the photos of them grabbing food, but they were all taken early in the morning because our cameras were very blurry at night, but the evidence is enough."
"good."
Su Yu laughed and said, "Spread this news throughout Daxia as quickly as possible. The title is that in the name of the new army of the imperial court setting up troops to grab food, a subsidy of 500,000 silver dollars will be provided to provide free daily newspapers to remote areas."
"Yes, Commander."
The Propaganda Department quickly went to the newspaper company to print the newspaper.
Su Yu put on his military uniform and rushed to the garrison headquarters with Wang Wu's Second Infantry Division, because three of the grain stores that the garrison headquarters robbed belonged to him.
"Get out of Shanglu!"
"Give me the food, give me the food!"
In South Street, hundreds of thousands of people gathered in the street, holding banners and spitting to denounce the garrison headquarters. They didn't have much food left at home, but they were still cared about by these soldiers.
I thought that all soldiers were as kind and caring as the soldiers of the garrison headquarters, but now it seems that they were wrong. As the saying goes, dogs cannot change their eating habits, but the soldiers of the imperial court are still so arrogant and domineering, oppressing the people.
"Commander Su is here!"
At this time, some people saw Su Yu coming and got out of the way.
Many people cheered and shouted loudly, "Commander Su, please make the decision for us. These soldiers from the imperial court have robbed our food. Our family of five is still waiting for this food to be cooked!"
"Folks, don't worry."
Su Yu raised his hands to signal everyone not to be agitated, "I will make the decision for everyone, because the food in our security headquarters has also been robbed. Please all step back. The imperial troops are unreasonable and are likely to engage in fire. Don’t hurt the folks.”
"We won't retreat!"
The common people shouted one after another, "If the imperial court shoots, we will be rebelling against our mother, and we will be displeased with the imperial court!"
Hearing this, Su Yu was secretly happy. What he was waiting for was for these law-abiding people to say these words to break the suppression from their bloodline and break the fear of imperial power.
"Okay, let's launch a resistance together and make decisions for our own rights."
Su Yu got out of the car and came to the gate of the garrison headquarters. He shouted to the garrison officer at the gate, "Let your commander come out, otherwise we will rush in."
"Yes, let your commander come out!"
"Or we'll rush in."
Seeing that the situation was getting more serious, the officers at the door quickly ran into the headquarters, intending to tell their commander the situation outside.
Garrison Headquarters.
Wang Sheng was counting how much grain had been collected, and then a number was reported.
"370,000 catties."
"snort!"
Hearing this figure, Wang Sheng snorted and said, "They said there was no food. In just one night, 370,000 kilograms of food were collected. I think this group of people just don't sell the food they have, waiting for the price to rise before selling it." , What a bunch of unruly people.”
"Commander, outside?"
"There is no need to be taboo," Wang Sheng said, looking at his commander. "A group of unarmed and weak people can make big waves. If they are waiting for a few leaders to rectify the law on the spot, naturally this group of people will not dare to do it. "
"Under the pressure of the imperial court for more than two hundred years, this group of people, whose blood is to be servants, still dare to rebel!" Wang Sheng licked the corner of his mouth and said, "You really think that my army of 100,000 people is Decorations!”
"Commander, it's not good."
The officer outside ran into the headquarters and shouted, "Guard Commander Su Yu has arrived at the door with tens of thousands of soldiers and is rushing in with hundreds of thousands of people. We can't stop him!"
"What!"
Wang Sheng slammed the table and said angrily, "What on earth does Su Yu want to do? I, Wang Sheng, are really afraid of him. The whole army has gathered together. I can't return even a grain of food today."
After that, the entire garrison began to mobilize urgently, and the forces of the three armies began to surround hundreds of thousands of people in Shanglu and Su Yu's troops.
"Anyone who dares to come closer will be killed without mercy!"
Wang Sheng sent a large number of troops to set up a security line. As long as someone stepped on this security line, he would shoot without hesitation.
"Let's see who dares to shoot!"
Su Yu was the first to cross the cordon, and then hundreds of thousands of people behind him began to cross the cordon and approach the garrison soldiers to see if they dared to shoot.
At this time, the pressure of the New Army soldiers also increased dramatically. Looking at the dense crowd of people in front of them, they were sweating and their hands were shaking. If they fired at this time, they would be torn apart.
"Damn it!"
On the third floor of the garrison headquarters, Wang Sheng looked at the scene below and gritted his teeth in anger.
"commander."
Behind Wang Sheng, a white-haired old man looked at Wang Sheng and said, "After the fermentation of the matter, more and more people are now coming towards our garrison. By rough calculation, it is estimated to be no less than one million."
"million!"
Wang Sheng was shocked when he heard this number. Almost one-third of the people in Shanglu came. If one person represents a family, it means that almost all the three million people in Shanglu came.
"Commander, the reputation of the garrison commander Su Yu is very great in Shanglu," the old man continued, "After our investigation, the people in Shanglu only recognize the garrison headquarters and not the court. If we continue to have a stalemate, then we It will be difficult to move around Shanglu in the future."
"What can we do?"
Wang Sheng said angrily, "We can't let the soldiers starve to death!"
"Negotiate with Su Yu," the old man continued, "I have investigated and found that nearly 80% of the grain shops in Shanglu were all purchased by Commander Su. The grain in his hands is no less than 30 million kilograms. I think he spent so much money. Financial resources, just want to negotiate with us, because he is also afraid that we will be forced into a hurry, after all, the strength of the 100,000-strong army may not be able to be handled by the security headquarters."
"Oh, it's so frustrating!"
Wang Sheng punched the wall and said, "Return the food, and ask Su Yu to come to the headquarters to see me."
"clear."
Next, Wang Sheng could not withstand the pressure and returned all the food to the people. As for what was eaten, he subsidized it back at ten times the price, which satisfied the people.
"Commander Su, our general is looking for you."
"Look for me," Su Yu snorted. "Let your general come to the security headquarters to see me. Of course, he doesn't have to come, unless you want to starve to death."
After saying that, Su Yu left directly.
