Two quarters of an hour later, the rice tank bottomed out.
Jiang Yuntian blinked at Song Che, indicating that he knew what he was doing.
Song Che nodded, indicating that he could take action.
The soldiers, in groups of three, rushed into the refugee pile and dragged out seven young adults.
"What are you doing! I still have an old mother to serve at home! I don't want to join the army!"
"The soldiers are catching strong men! The soldiers are catching strong men!"
"Shut up! If you dare to yell again, I will kill you with one sword!"
Seven young adults were escorted to Song Che.
Song Che was about to ask, but he saw Si Tong, who was an ordinary man, came up with a few guards and said anxiously: "Stop it quickly, under the thick soil of the emperor's sky, An Neng can capture a strong man!"
"Stop him."
Song Che lowered his voice and gave orders softly.
All the soldiers lined up to stop Tong Tao and others.
"Bold! I am the general secretary of Chuzhou Tiju. You dare to stop me?"
After handing over the money in the morning, Tong Tao had no good feelings towards Song Che along the way. This time it happened so quickly, it was somewhat personal.
"I suspect they are spies sent by the Japanese pirates, not to capture young men."
Song Che had just finished explaining, but the young man argued:
"We have a mortal enemy with the Japanese pirates. How can we be Japanese pirates!"
"My lord! Your lord makes the decision for us!"
It's okay if you don't argue, but Yiben looks flustered, and it's obvious that there is something wrong in his heart.
Tong Tao ignored him and pointed his finger at Song Che: "I think you look like a Japanese pirate! You don't even dare to show your true face! Where is General Bao? Come out and take care of it!"
"Shut up!"
Jiang Yuntian's sword was half out of its scabbard, and he glared like a tiger trying to eat a person. Tong Tao was so frightened that he took three steps back, "I will pledge your grain and grass honestly. What's your business? If you dare to fart again, I cut your tongue!"
A hero doesn’t care about so many worldly things!
Tong Tao suppressed his blush and dared not breathe.
Song Che was too lazy to pay attention and called to the soldiers: "Check their hands."
The soldiers opened the hands of the young men and found that all of them had thick knife calluses.
"We are farmers who work in the fields, and sometimes we go to the mountains to chop firewood. So what if we have calluses on our hands?" A young man argued again.
Jiang Yuntian kicked him to the ground with one kick: "We haven't asked yet, but you said it yourself. Don't you have a guilty conscience? What practitioner can't tell that these calluses on your hands are the result of long-term use of weapons?" To?”
Ning Yehong on the side also frowned. She was a Lian family member, and she knew it very well.
Song Che pointed at the young adults and turned to ask the refugees: "Do you know these people? Are they from the same village?"
Refugees, you look at me and I look at you, and in the end, they all shake their heads.
Song Che turned around and asked the young man again: "You just said that you have an old mother serving you at home. Where did the serving go?"
"My mother, my mother..." The young man's eyes rolled, and he couldn't explain why for a long time.
"I, your mother! Give it back to your mother! If your mother knows that you came to be a Japanese pirate, she will regret giving birth to a son like you!"
Jiang Yuntian trampled the young man under his feet, "Don't talk nonsense with them. These beasts should be disemboweled, and their hearts and lungs should be ripped out!"
"Fight them!"
Seeing that their identities were exposed, the Japanese pirates stopped pretending. They each took out their daggers from their leggings, struggled to free themselves, and tried to resist.
The soldiers were on guard for a long time, and before they could get up, they stabbed them with several guns in a row, and they were all wounded.
Song Che said: "Leave one alive."
Seven young men killed six of them on the spot, except for the one Jiang Yuntian stepped on.
"Do you know why I was able to pull you out?" Song Che grabbed the young man's hair, lifted his head high, and pointed at the dense crowd of refugees in the forest:
"Open your eyes and look at the bark of the trees that have been gnawed around. Look at their miserable state of emaciation. They don't even have a cotton coat or a pair of shoes. And you! You are dressed like a human being and have nothing to do with other people." But you did nothing! These are all your compatriots, the people of Daliang who share the same blood, but you colluded with foreign countries to harm your family... Damn you!"
The more he talked, the angrier he became, and he slapped the young man on the face with two backhands.
"I... I know I was wrong! We are not human beings... Please forgive me, please forgive me!" The young man cried bitterly, his eyes showing no remorse except fear.
Crocodile tears, who would sympathize?
The refugee stared at the young man coldly, with only hatred in his eyes.
Some Japanese pirates' elaborate works are of no value alive.
"killed."
"Pfft!"
Jiang Yuntian stabbed his throat with a sword.
Song Che took a deep breath, collected his emotions, turned around and said to the refugees:
"Fellow fellow villagers, you have also seen that Japanese pirates have infiltrated here, and your concentration has just given them cover;
For your own safety, and for the sake of keeping the information from being leaked, I will put the grains and rice in your hands into the pot, eat a full meal, build up enough strength, and leave here. "
He and his soldiers shouted again:
"Brothers, when we march and fight, we don't miss this meal. Leave all the dry food you carry with you to the folks. Yancheng is right ahead. We will march quickly tonight. When we arrive in Yancheng tomorrow, I will treat you to breakfast!"
"It's been a long day's journey, and it's snowing heavily at night. The people and horses are tired. How can we walk again?" Tong Tao was the first to be unhappy.
Song Che said: "I don't have to leave in a hurry. Japanese pirates have appeared here, and what you are escorting is military equipment and baggage. It is not appropriate to stay for a long time."
Tong Tao said: "Including my guards, there are nearly 4,000 people. How dare the Japanese pirates come to rob them? Don't think too much about those pirates. I have rested in this forest several times in the past when I was escorted. This has never happened. Have an accident.”
Song Che shook his head: "Then have you ever thought about it, what if they don't come to rob, but to burn? Even if there is heavy snow, this is still a forest anyway. If the enemy sends a small team to attack at night, and then block it Our army will be besieged at the entrance and exit. The baggage you are escorting contains not only weapons but also gunpowder. Once it gets the slightest spark, it will detonate, and the consequences will be endless."
Tong Tao said again: "Can't you just send more people to guard the entrance and exit of the forest?"
Jiang Yuntian couldn't stand listening anymore, "Hey, let me tell you, did you make a mistake? The Yangzhou Army was sent to the front line as reinforcements, and they happened to be with you. They were not here to escort the baggage for you. You love It’s none of our business whether we leave or not!”
"That's it, it's none of our business! During the day, we plowed the snow to clear the way for you, and now you ask us to stand guard for you. In this snowy day, instead of standing still, we might as well speed up the march."
"Yes, when Mr. Bai found out the Japanese pirates just now, this official wanted to stop them. He did nothing but took advantage. In my opinion, without military resources and caravans like you, we would have arrived earlier. It’s Yancheng, it’s best not to come!”
"Brothers from Yangzhou, get your armaments in order, drink some strong wine, and we're on the road!"
Not a bird at all!
"You! You... you should rely on each other in troubled times. This batch of ordnance equipment is related to the war ahead. If something goes wrong with it, you must also bear the heavy responsibility!"
Tong Tao was so angry that he almost jumped up.
