In the county seat of Zhangxian County, there are less than 2,000 households, and many houses have collapsed and are dilapidated.There is no county order in this county, it is directly under Gongchang Mansion, and there is only one county lieutenant to maintain law and order.The compound of the county government was overgrown with weeds, and there were many mattresses and sheepskins under the lobby and porch, which seemed to be the residence of those bandits.Wang Shuo ordered Wang Xiaoer to take people to clean up the county office, and he took Zhang Ermeng and several leaders into the backyard.When the remaining bandits heard the defeat outside the city, they had already run away, and there was no movement in the backyard.Wang Shuo entered the hall, and it was also a mess and stinking.Wang Shuo frowned, and wanted to quit, but suddenly heard a movement in the hall.He pulled out his saber and kicked open the door to the side hall.There was no one in the house, but it was fully furnished and not very dirty, and it seemed that the bearded bandit leader lived here.The movement came from the bedroom in the side hall.He opened the bedroom door.The two women on the kang in the inner room, naked and hugging each other, shrank in the corner of the wall and shivered.When the two women saw Wang Shuo come in, they didn't care about being ashamed, they knelt down at Wang Shuo on the kang, crying and begging: "The king spares our sisters to serve the king, don't kill us" Wang Shuo frowned, turned around and went out, standing in the courtyard and shouting Ayiguli.In the wings on both sides, the leaders also found many women, most of whom were poorly dressed.Zhang Er grabbed his waist knife violently and was about to go out to kill the two bandit leaders who surrendered.Wang Shuo hurriedly called out to him.They currently have nowhere to go but this dilapidated county seat.The Chuang army has taken Longxi, and with enough troops and grain and grass, it is possible to search here at any time.If you want to defend this city, you have to work together with the army and the people.He suddenly remembered that in the War of Liberation, the Northeast Democratic Alliance Army relied on land reform, won the hearts of the people with bittersweet memories, and finally defeated the strong with the weak and occupied the entire Northeast, and he must also have a base area.Those two bandit leaders can be used as tools to mobilize the masses.Zhangxian County is deep in the mountains, and it is still very suitable as a base area.He wants to use this place as his first base and survive in an extremely unfavorable environment like the Democratic Alliance.Of course, the thought only flashed through his head.He and those who followed him, exhausted from the brutal fighting they had endured, and they desperately needed a place to save their lives, to breathe, before they could think about anything else.Zhangxian is exactly where they need to be.When Ayiguli came, he asked her to find some clothes for the women to put on, gather them in a room to look after them, and get them some food.He also found Wang Xiaoer and asked him to pick a few soldiers who could speak well, go door to door to the people's homes, and tell them that they were the Ming army to protect the people.Let's see whose woman let the bandits grab it to the county office, and let them claim it.Speak politely, treat the people like his own family and parents, and then, he found Fang Dachu and asked him to find a wide place outside the city and find trees to build a stage, but he was not allowed to use the things of the people.Fang Dachu was confused, what did they want to do on the stage, they were almost tired and lay down, did they still have to invite the troupe to let everyone watch the play, who had the leisure to do it, he didn't dare to ask more.Fortunately, there are a lot of trees outside Zhangxian County, and it is not difficult to build a stage, so I agreed to go.Not long after Wang Xiaoer went, people came to the county government one after another to claim their children.That bearded man is a well-known bandit in the nearby Shouyang Mountain, who often does things that harm the common people, and his methods are cruel.Hearing that Li Zicheng's army had entered Gongchang Mansion, he came out of the mountains and took the opportunity to occupy Zhangxian County and recruit troops.This guy is hard to change, and he robbed a lot of women to go to the county government for him and his subordinates to have sexual pleasure.More and more people came to claim their daughters-in-law's daughters, but there were only a few women in the county government, and they were quickly claimed back.Where are the rest of the women, Wang Shuo brought the two leaders who were caught for interrogation, this question, I couldn't help but be angry, it turned out that these bandits have the habit of eating women's hearts and livers, and the women who have had enough of robbing are often killed by them, and the hearts and livers are drunk, and the bodies are buried in the front yard of the county government.The ground in the front yard of the county government was dug up, revealing more than a dozen horrific corpses of women.For a while, the people in the county government cried and moved the sky.Wang Shuo couldn't wait to kill the two leaders alive now, but he couldn't help it after thinking about it for a long time.He told the villagers that tomorrow he would go to the open space outside the East City Gate to publicly try the bandits, and when the time came, everyone would go together, and he would give the villagers an explanation.As the sky gradually darkened, the body of the woman in the county government was taken away by relatives, and the excavated soil pit was filled in again., Wang Shuo and the soldiers all stood in the courtyard, silent.Looking at the bodies of the women who died unjustly and their grief-stricken relatives, everyone's hearts were not happy.He stood on the steps under the pillars of the lobby, looked at his subordinates, and said loudly for a long time: "The world is turbulent, human life is like grass, my parents are dead, your parents and relatives, maybe like my relatives died, maybe just like those people who came just now, suffering pain and suffering" Speaking of this, he suddenly felt agitated: "There are thieves everywhere, there are bandits everywhere, we have no way to go, we don't go anywhere, it's here, How to protect these poor people" The soldiers were infected by his voice, and they were also excited, and shouted in unison: "Obey the general's orders" Wang Shuo continued: "We have few people now, but there are not many people in Zhangxian.Let's hold up a blue sky here, so that the people will no longer suffer from military disasters and banditry, so that they can live in peace and stability, the people will support us, they will take up arms, and we will defend this blue sky together, let's start from here, gradually expand this blue sky, until it expands to the entire Gongchang, and drive out all those man-eating beasts" Wang Shuo no longer intends to take everyone to continue to flee, the world is chaotic, where to flee is the same, the flash of thought during the day gradually matured in his mind
