Chapter 020 Liwei
This group followed Lin Zimo and arrived outside the government gate of Pingnan County. His inner tension has not subsided at all. After all, he will face a small-scale war. Before crossing, I fought in my life. Lin Zimo clearly realized that fighting does not necessarily kill people, but fighting will definitely kill people.
I have never felt that the responsibility on my shoulders would be so great. The life and death of the whole city fell on him, and he was not careless at all. If his business is compensated, as long as his ambition does not die, there is still a chance to turn over. However, war is much more complicated than doing business. After all, failure often results in death.
Lin Zimo asked someone to call a stewmer to take charge of this group of newly released people. Before he left them, he suddenly thought of Li Renjie, who was scared to death in his government office. Lin Zimo thought of the scene when he came to pull the skin, and his hatred rose from the bottom of his heart. Although he is already a corpse that can't move, it can be used completely. If I hadn't encountered this unexpected incident, I'm afraid Li Renjie would definitely not agree with his idea. After all, no one wants to be slaughtered.
Wang Pengfei took more than ten businessmen to escort all of Li Renjie's family back and sealed his family with the seal of Pingnan County government. Lin Zimo, standing at the gate of the government, has no intention to deal with them for the time being. After all, the most important thing is to defend the city. Li Renjie's group of women's husbands cried with fear, and fear was revealed in the men's expression. They are used to dooming, so they will think that there will be a day when they will be cleaned up by others.
Looking at the upset Lin Zimo, he ordered, "Send this criminal to prison and wait for him to be released."
Wang Pengfei, who heard his words, was about to lead his subordinates to send these more than 20 people to prison, but he stopped him. So Wang Pengfei had to send his men away. Li Renjie's family members, who had lost their shelter, went away crying in the scolding and beatings of the public messengers.
Lin Zimo pulled Wang Pengfei to a corner and whispered, "Brother Wang, go and cut off Li Renjie's head."
Wang Pengfei couldn't figure out what medicine was sold in his gourd. He instinctively asked, "What do you want his head to do?"
"I am following Cao Mengde's example to borrow someone else's head." Lin Zimo explained with a strange smile, "If he is still alive, he will definitely not be allowed. Since he is dead, he has no choice but to disagree with this matter.
Wang Pengfei, who arched his hand, walked straight into the county government office, quickly ran to Li Renjie's government office, pulled out a steel knife and cut him dead on the chair. With a click, Wang Pengfei cut off his head cleanly. Because Li Renjie has been dead for a long time, there is no spectacular "blood fountain" scene.
Wang Pengfei, who bent down, grabbed his hair in one hand and held the knife handle in the other. His eyes looked at Li Renjie's very pale face, thinking that the old guy was willing to die, and the only thing that made him feel dissatisfied was nothing more than to make Li Renjie die too cheaply.
Wang Pengfei, who didn't think much about it, hurriedly returned to Lin Zimo, holding a knife in one hand and Li Renjie's head in the other.
Lin Zimo was shocked when he saw this head that was still dripping blood, but he did not show it on his face and said, "Wang Catcher, take a look at Li Renjie's head. My purpose is to make them get rid of their escape.
Wang Pengfei took Li Renjie's head and walked in front of everyone and said, "Big guy, come and have a look. This is the end of the escapee. If you don't want to be like him, just obey Lord Lin's orders.
Li Renjie's head was well displayed among the people and officials. When Lin Zimo looked at their expressions again, he knew that he had achieved the result he wanted, so he mixed the people and the people in the public, and the weapons in their hands were also a variety. Although it doesn't look good, I know that this is an urgent situation and I have no choice. Besides, war is not about good-looking, but practical.
Lin Zimo stood on the platform of the government, took a good look at the people under the stage, and said solemnly, "Face the enemy, bravely kill the enemy, reward. And if someone dares to take a step back and kill without mercy. Do you all understand?"
The people under the steps shouted in unison, "I understand."
"Very good." Lin Zimo smiled meticulously and was slightly comforted in his heart.
According to his calculation, he soon divided this group of people into two parts, and then he and Wang Pengfei led a team of people and ran to the gate that they needed to defend. Lin Zimo, who was walking on the road, thought that ancient people often liked to exaggerate the number of their armies. Tens of thousands of troops can be blown into hundreds of thousands, or even millions, so he estimates that there may actually be thousands or hundreds of troops that resist the court in Wang Pengfei's mouth. I believe that as long as everyone works together, there will be no big problem to keep the county.
After the team of more than 100 people came to the gate, Lin Zimo ordered everyone to go to the head of the city and let them open their eyes and pay attention to the situation everywhere. If you see any changes there, come and inform him immediately. Holding the sword in his left hand, he couldn't help muttering in his heart, and his hands were constantly sweating at the same time. After all, he had no experience of killing, but only the experience of being killed.
"My brother-in-law, do you think we can hold on?" Chu Dalang didn't know where he came out, approached him, looked around the few people, and said in a low voice, "If you can't hold on, you have to plan early."
Lin Zimo, who returned to his mind, had no idea at all, but his face was full of confidence. He deliberately raised his voice and said, "As long as we are sincere and united, we will definitely be able to stay in our home. Those armies that rebelled against the court were not strictly trained regular troops. They are just a mob, so we don't have to be too afraid. As long as you believe one sentence, the two will meet and the brave will win.
"I believe your words." Chu Dalang, who finished listening to the words, suddenly felt a lot of anger and said, "If you can, then you can definitely do it."
Lin Zimo understood that he was the backbone of all people. If you don't have confidence, then this group of people will be more like a plate of scattered sand. It was not easy for him to unite them a little, so he can't fail. After all, only by tying this group of people into a big weight can he defend the city.
However, Lin Zi thought silently. According to the rules of the battle, the other party always sent someone to persuade him or shoot an arrow to persuade him to surrender. If the other party is really full of people and has no hope of winning, as long as he can save the lives of the whole city, he can still accept surrender. As for the life and death and honor and disgrace of individuals, I haven't thought much about it.
Lin Zimo doesn't have many illusions. After all, the initiative is the safest in his own hands. Thinking of him here, he suddenly felt that he was really shining and shiny, so he inspected the city defense and arranged people to inform the people left behind by the county government office to prepare as much food and medicine as possible. After all, he didn't know when it was a game.
The main reason why Lin Zimo did not mobilize the people of the city to defend the city is that he was afraid that few people would retreat in the battle, which would cause the herd effect. If you know that there are many people, you will have more eyes, and it will be more difficult to manage and control. He just wanted to defend the county, but he didn't want to see the end of the great defeat. I always believe in a sentence I have seen in the past. There are not many soldiers, but use them.
Officials and this group of people who resist taxes already have all kinds of kindness and resentment, so if anyone in any of these two groups dares to retreat, they will definitely be killed by people in another group.
Besides, there are their families in the city, so Lin Zimo believes that they will stick to it. After all, people in this era attach great importance to family affection. Since the interests of all people have been tied together, they have the belief to persevere with themselves. He firmly believes that as long as people have faith, all problems are not a problem.
Lin Zimo faced the outside of the city and looked at the movement in the distance, and Chu Dalang came to his side again, looked left and right, and whispered, "My brother-in-law, if I can make contributions and survive. You must make sure that I become an official catcher.
"No problem." Lin Zimo was unhappy with his practice of being divided before the world was determined, but in order to stabilize people's hearts, he gave hope and said, "You don't think about anything, just need to guard the city wholeheartedly. As long as the Pingnan County can be preserved, the people can not only go home, but also write off the taxes owed. Even if someone dies in battle, I will send the pension to your family.
"As for the public in the government, they can also get rewards and pensions." Lin Zimo walked to the crowd and loudly encouraged, "I believe that all the people and court in Pingnan County will not forget your contributions and deeds. Your children and grandchildren will be proud of you.
Lin Zimo, who finished his speech, was cheered by everyone, and their inner worries and fears dissipated a lot. Although the vast majority of them don't know a lot of words, they all understand the truth that people die and leave their names. If you can survive, it will be great. After all, you will have the capital to show off in the future.
Lin Zimo, who was still worried, did not think it was as simple as they were. They were worried that if they died in the war, they would stick to the city without spiritual leaders? And what will the future of Yang Mengqi and Chu Hanlu look like?
