Signing in during the Republic of China: Starting from a foot patrol

Chapter 216

With the long period of starvation in the camp, the captives had become numb, and apart from their eyes that blinked from time to time, these people were no different from the dead at the moment.

Every day, I only drink thin rice soup that is not much thicker than clear water, and the iron man can't stand it.

The captives did not know how long such days would last, but at this time, they all had a common thought in their hearts:

"It is better to live like this than to die comfortably!"

However, these days did not last long, and one morning a shrill gong woke the captives up.

Immediately afterwards, the guards of the barracks carried large baskets filled with steaming nests.

"Come, two per person, plus a bowl of porridge, hurry up and eat!" A man who looked like a commander said.

After starving for several days, when the hot nest head was clutched in their hands, the captives were first surprised, and then they did not care about the heat, and swallowed all the two nest heads into their stomachs in two mouthfuls.

After so many days of hunger, suddenly able to eat dry food, this is not a severed head meal!

However, for the matter of death, these captives can see it, after all, they can finally be freed.

So, when the wooden cages were opened, the captives were driven out, and then tied and connected by twine in turn, they were all numb at the mercy of others, like puppets.

The prisoners were then escorted out of the camp toward an unknown destination.

In the evening, a group of captives arrived on a wide wasteland overgrown with weeds and scattered stones, not far away by rows of simple shacks.

Everyone wants to come to this wasteland, is this going to shoot everyone?

However, what happened next was unexpected by everyone.

I saw the soldiers escorting them untying them one by one, and someone next to them shouted:

"Listen, according to the rules, all of you guys will have to be shot."

"However, the county elders are kind and kind, and they are not willing to kill again, so they left you with your lives."

"But the death penalty can be avoided, and the living crime cannot be escaped!"

"The county magistrate has decreed that you should clear the land here, level the land, and use your strength to atone for your sins."

As soon as these words came out, the captives' eyes lit up a little more.

Don't kill yourself anymore?

Great!

As for clearing the land and leveling the land, for these captives from the harvest people, it was not a heavy and tiring work.

In fact, even Lin Hongfei did not expect that he let these prisoners be free labor, and these prisoners not only did not feel that this was a punishment, but also a blessing.

The reason is simple, although the prisoners have a heavy daily workload, almost from the rising of the sun to the setting of the sun.

But whether it is the construction site or the coal mine, they are all provided according to three meals a day, and each meal is full.

After all, if you do heavy physical work, if you don't have enough to eat, even if you can't eat enough, your tough body will quickly collapse.

Lin Hongfei didn't want this batch of free labor to quickly lose their role, so although the daily supply was some wild vegetable dumplings, chaff nests, black bean flour cakes and other coarse grains that were difficult to swallow, the amount was enough.

Songshan County, Renle County, and Hui County were extremely poor, and even the prisoners of the [Jiangbei Joint Defense Army] only ate two meals a day before being captured.

In disaster years, they also can't eat.

Therefore, when they can eat three full meals in coal mines and construction sites, they naturally feel that they are enjoying themselves!

Even, most people are still glad that they have been captured, otherwise where to find a good errand for three full meals a day.

These people also thanked Lin Hongfei and said that Lin County Magistrate was really benevolent and a big good person!

This result was really unexpected by Lin Hongfei.

At the same time, Chu Liangyi also contacted enemies who had old grudges with Hong Tianwu, Qin Wanying and others through local connections.

In order to make these enemies believe, Hong Tianwu and the others have been captured by Jiangdu County.

Chu Liangyi specially found a cameraman and took a photo of Hong Tianwu and the others with captive makeup, and everyone in the photo was dead gray and numb, and their hands were holding a sign with their names written on them.

Originally, these enemies did not believe this, but after seeing these photos, they were immediately overjoyed!

At the same time, Chu Liangyi also showed them some photos of the prisoners of the [Jiangbei Joint Defense Army], so that these enemies realized that many of Hong Tianwu and others' subordinates were still alive.

Once they are really allowed to return, they will definitely be able to make a comeback.

Therefore, without any hesitation, the gang immediately agreed to pay the money, and also put forward a request, that is, they would personally send henchmen to Jiangdu County to execute Hong Tianwu and others.

This request was very reasonable, and Chu Liangyi naturally did not refuse.

And Lin Hongfei's request to collect protection money from these enemies, the gang hesitated and agreed.

They are not stupid, Lin Hongfei can pick up the [Jiangbei Joint Defense Army] of nearly 10,000 people, and it is not like playing with them.

Break your fortune and avoid disaster!

However, Lin Hongfei asked for more money, and these enemies couldn't scrape together so much cash for a while.

So, these people simply led people to rob the Hong family, Qin family, Han family, etc., who had lost their shelter, as well as Liu Datou and Jin Xiong, and their cottages.

The stolen money went to the pile, plus they made it up themselves, so they gathered the money and handed it to Chu Liangyi.

Most of the land snakes in the three counties paid the money and wanted to quickly send Chu Liangyi, the great god, away.

However, five local snakes made different moves, and when Chu Liangyi was about to leave for Jiangdu County, the Ma family and the Qi family in Songshan County; the Lai family in Renle County; The Xiong family and the Hu family in Hui County, these five families all put forward the same request, wanting to send some family children to work as errands under the Lin County Magistrate.

The leaders of these five families have a relatively long-term vision in the local area, and they can pack up Hong Tianwu, Qin Wanying, Han Sitong, Liu Datou and other long-established people into prisoners, Lin Hongfei is naturally not an ordinary person.

How could such a character be satisfied with a small Jiangdu County?

In the future, Songshan County, Renle County and Hui County are bound to be annexed by Lin Hongfei.

If some family members are sent to serve under Lin Hongfei in advance, they will also be regarded as ministers of the dragon in the future.

For the thoughts of these people, Chu Liangyi is naturally very clear in his heart, after all, some time ago, he also called some Chu family children from his hometown Huaishui County, and after letting Lin Hongfei assess them one by one, these Chu family children all entered the military and political internal positions in Jiangdu County.

It's just that whether to accept these family children or not, Chu Liangyi can't be the master.

So, he took these people and returned to Jiangdu County, and if Lin Hongfei agreed, he would stay.

If you don't agree, set a table for a farewell banquet and send it out of the country.
