Chapter 272

Qucheng.

outside the wall.

A large group of government troops lined up in two rows, running at a constant speed.

Regardless of veterans.

Still a recruit.

They all have to participate in physical training. Although the Yuanfu army has training, it happens every few days, and the intensity is very low, almost idle, and the combat effectiveness is weak.

Discipline, even many recruits are not as good.

So it's all back to the oven.

"All follow!"

"Don't fall behind."

"..."

While running, the instructor shouted.

To this.

No one objected.

For one thing, it was the instructor who was also running along instead of just watching.

Second.

Yesterday afternoon, a small martial arts competition was held. A coach came to the stage and directly released a bold statement: as long as you win him, you can directly become the captain.

Everyone in the audience was extremely excited.

then.

Many people were eager to try and challenged on stage.

However, I found that I thought too much.

The result was obvious, none of them succeeded, and they were all beaten to the ground. Even if it was a wheel battle, hundreds of people did not do anything to the coach.

All lost!

Very thorough.

However, after the fact, the coach still promoted some people based on the strength of those who challenged them on stage.

Just get on stage.

Regardless of strength.

Minimum Corporal.

Among them, the highest ones have been promoted to the rank of deputy captain, which makes the people below envious. They are deputy captains, and their ranks are not low.

From a rough place, he jumped up, making the envy of the people present.

But there was only one chance, and they didn't seize it.

After that, they already admired the strength of the coach.

At this moment, the instructor was running with them, so what right did he have to complain about being tired?

shame!

Is it bitter?

Is it hard to be hungry?

Is it hard to be bullied?

The family is broken, is it suffering?

…

In comparison, it's just physical fatigue, which is nothing to them who have been oppressed for a long time.

In order to guard the hard-won fruits of victory, the recruits are very clear.

---Only strength can protect.

. . .

During military training.

not far.

You can see the corvee workers who are repairing the city wall, many of them are former government troops, and they have been deprived of their status during this rectification.

Those who committed the most heinous crimes were killed, and those who were generally guilty were paid for by labor. There are also many people who were newly caught in the past two days, who were involved with pirates, but not guilty of death.

Cut down trees and grass.

Clean up the wall stacks.

one word.

tired!

I have always been ordering others, but now I am forced to work.

Many are very dissatisfied.

But there is nothing to do, the situation is stronger than the people, and the only hope is that the pirates can come back, beat off those 'state pastoral soldiers', and return to the previous state.

otherwise.

How many years does this corvee have to do?

"Snapped!"

"ah!"

"What are you in a daze for, work."

"..."

The vicious overseer, when he saw someone being lazy, would whip him directly.

Going up with a whip, it really hurts!

There was a bloodstain on the normally fair skin.

Woohoo!

want to cry!

I didn't expect that a whip would hurt so much. I used to whip others. I think it's very interesting to see others being whipped, grinning and jumping.

Now, the drawn ones were replaced by them.

It hurts so much!

Who will save the poor self.

Wait, the day we stand up, we must take it back.

Many people looked at the supervisor's face and said in their hearts: I remember you.

"Snapped!"

It was another whip, and it hit a young master from a rich family.

"Please put away the eyes that made me uncomfortable. If you make a mistake, you will be punished. I heard that because you accidentally stained your clothes, you beat an old man in the street and hugged him tightly. My granddaughter broke one of her fingers."

"Snapped!"

There was a bloodstain on the rich young master's face.

"ah!"

He covered his face and screamed out.

"He has a strong temper." The supervisor smiled at him.

"Snapped!"

Another whip.

"Did you enjoy the game at the time?" the supervisor asked again.

"Snapped!"

"ah!"

With a bloodstain on his back, the rich young master was already scared of being beaten.

At this moment, he wanted to die.

"Do you see the wall? If you want to die, hit it, and it will be over."

finished.

The supervisor shouted at the others:

"Remember, everyone, I don't care about your life or death. I just want to ensure one thing, and that is that after the corvée is over, I will have a sense of reverence for Fadu in my heart."

"Be a... nice guy."

"Actually, I hope that none of you will end the corvee alive. That way, there will be less evil in the world and you will become a role model for people to do good."

Hearing this, everyone trembled.

horrible!

devil!

This is not a supervisor, it is a devil.

They don't want to set an example by dying.

Although we are not good people and have done a lot of bad things, we can't be treated as 'not human'.

. . .

People who are reforming through labor are doubting their lives and regretting what they have committed.

coastal.

On the pier, it was busy.

A large number of people living here began to move inward, some went to Qucheng, some went to various county towns, and learned that the pirates in the mansion were almost killed.

They didn't dare to stay too long.

After all, pirates are not good at fighting. Once they fight over, they who live along the coast will bear the brunt.

Although not involved, it could also be a target for pirates to vent their anger.

then.

Under the arrangement of the government army, the withdrawal began.

food.

horses.

poultry.

…

All were asked to take away so as not to become pirates.

to this end.

The government army also sent a large number of carriages to help, but they didn't have to carry them by themselves.

Otherwise, it would be really exhausting, and the only thing I could not bear was the house and the land.

However, the people in the government army said that in the future when the pirates are defeated, they will be returned to them.

. . .

Except for the docks.

Villages along the coast also began to withdraw, taking everything they could.

If you can't take it with you and have a certain value, find a place to bury it.

The government army said they would give them the land, but the people didn't care too much about it, but the guarantee of food and drink during the departure gave a lot of motivation and saved some food.

that's all.

One by one.

Village by village.

It became empty, leaving only empty houses.

even.

Some roads and trestles were destroyed before leaving. In this way, pirates could slow down their pace when they landed from here, and the most important thing is to reduce maneuvering.

If the opponent has a horse and wants to ride the horse, it is a big problem.

. . .

Earth.

Mingshan City.

At home, Shu Fu was lying in the yard, basking in the winter sun, in a good mood, from top to bottom.

Qucheng.

county seat.

small town.

By falsely passing on the will, he was dismissed from office, ransacked his home and confiscated it. . . It can be regarded as very rewarding.

More than 300,000 taels of gold and 2.6 million taels of silver.

Almost all the rich people in the mansion were searched.

Logically speaking.

Impossible to be so 'poor'.

However.

Don't forget, what is this place?

During the refugee uprising, a large number of wealthy people began to transfer their assets to places under the orthodox control of the Nanyu Empire, taking away a large amount of gold and silver.

Later, the refugees plundered and looted the middle and lower classes again.

further back.

Many refugees turned over and became officials in Jinzhou. Naturally, most of them moved to the center of power --- Jinzhou Prefecture.

Not long.

The pirates are coming. . . Up to now, there are so many harvests, which is already a bit beyond expectations.

Shu Fu was content.

While counting money.

Shu Fu paid attention to the information from all parties.

Inland migration.

It is one of the main tasks of the next stage.

The purpose is not entirely afraid of pirates.

Instead, create a tense atmosphere.

certainly.

Avoiding pirates attacking coastal villages is also the reason, but the main reason is to let the "joy" of "peaceful takeover" become dignified for the pirates to come.

In this way, whether it is recruiting troops or delaying the pace of state pastoral intervention by force, it is very beneficial.

He wants to put the whole mansion under military control in a reasonable manner.

the following days.

In the name of fighting pirates, the defenders of the entire mansion doubled in size.
