Space-time SWAT

Ten days later, "rebel" Shi Hua and six members of his party were beheaded and abandoned at Caishikou.

Another nineteen accomplices were sentenced to more than ten years in prison. Together with other heavy criminals, they were sent to remote mountains to do hard labor, or to mine, or quarry, or to dry salt. If there was no outside rescue, It is almost impossible to escape from prison.

Shi Hua was indeed a heroine, without any fear before his execution, he shouted slogans such as "Down with the Emperor", "Destroy the lackeys of the Qing Dynasty", "Down with Lu Haocang", "Long live the Republic", and "Long live democracy".The crowd watching the execution applauded loudly, which was the same as the reaction of the giant bandit who beheaded before shouting "I will be a hero again in 18 years".

Mu Boming didn't go to the execution ground, but he couldn't help sighing after listening to the workers who took advantage of the rest day to watch the excitement, "These people died for their beliefs, and they are also seeking benevolence."

Lu Zhaolin, who "talked" with him through the space, was also full of emotion, "They have ideals and ambitions, but the methods they use are too simple and rude. Even the governors appointed by the imperial court are not all bad. For example, Lu Haocang, early He is a complete patriot and nationalist who is in harmony with the imperial court and hates foreigners. Such officials should be supported and protected, but they are assassinated without distinction at all. That is a wrong action. Since it is a mistake, someone must Take responsibility and pay the price."

"I understand. Now it's Shi Hua and the others, followed by Xu Xilin and Qiu Jin. Almost every month this year, there will be uprisings by organizations such as the Tongmenghui and the Restoration Association, but they all end in failure. Many people with lofty ideals will die , but we can't stop them, and hope they can act according to the original history." Mu Boming sighed softly, "I think Lu Haocang did the right thing, but I just couldn't help but feel a little bit of emotion."

"This is an inevitability of history, and there is no right or wrong. Of course we are right to save my father." Lu Zhaolin smiled, "You can write a special commentator article, and put it on the headline of "Banner", explaining that Shi Hua and his colleagues The dangers of the party's murder of the Governor-General, and then analyze the reasons for their sentencing from the legal aspect, guide public opinion and the people's thinking, and don't let those too radical newspapers and magazines confuse people's hearts."

"Okay, I'll just think about how to write." Mu Boming has never done writing a manuscript, so he didn't think about it. However, as long as he is reminded, he will understand what to do.

Lu Zhaolin ended the "call" and looked up at the mountains in the twilight with a smile in his eyes.

The cooks have prepared meals, mainly root plants dug out of the mountains, such as potatoes, taro, yams, etc., plus mushrooms picked in the forest and wild boar hunted, and cooked together in a large iron pot. Delicious and very hungry.Everyone squatted or stood, all eating and smiling.

After more than half a month of trekking, they experienced heavy rain, hail, mudslides, landslides, flying rocks, landslides and other difficulties and obstacles, and finally walked out of Sichuan and entered Yunnan.

They are well-equipped, strong and powerful, and none of the bandits dared to take the lead, and they all hid far away, and they couldn't find anyone to practice their skills.Except for detours or stops due to natural disasters, it has been quite smooth.

Standing next to him, Shen Hongyi said regretfully while eating rice, "I haven't seen those thieves come and go. It's really boring."

Lu Zhaolin turned his head and glanced at him, "Didn't you pull the net once before the Chinese New Year, captured a group, killed a group, recruited a group, and almost wiped out. It's only been so long, how could there be so many again?" Bandits? My father didn’t say that he didn’t close his house at night, he didn’t pick up lost things on the road, and the weather was good. He also killed corrupt officials mercilessly, and he never collected exorbitant taxes. There shouldn’t be so many officials forcing people to rebel, right?”

Several young men from the officer corps were standing around, and they all laughed at this moment, "Yes, the boss is right. Mr. Lu is a good official, and the people in the three southwestern provinces are much better than those in other places."

Lu Haocang manages the three southwestern provinces as his own country, so naturally it is impossible to sweep the ground. Although he can't be called the blue sky master who is as clear as water and as bright as a mirror, he can be regarded as loving the people like a son.Back then, he succeeded his father and became the governor of the three southwestern provinces. He had ruthlessly dealt with the administration of officials. Regardless of whether he was a civil official or a military general, anyone who was a vegetarian was demoted. He was not spared, which made the official circles in the Southwest turn pale. They all called him "Guan Tu", and Yuan Shikai, the "Human Tu", and Zhang Zhidong, the "Cai Tu", were called the "Three Tus", and he was well-known far and wide.

He has always disdained to squeeze the three melons and two dates of the common people. The targets of collecting taxes and making money have always been big merchants who are only interested in profit, big landlords who are rich and heartless, and big chieftains who are so poor that only gold, silver and gems are left.For those officials who colluded with rich merchants and landlords and oppressed the poor, he would always deal with them mercilessly.Over time, officials from all over the southwest have figured out his pulse and understood where to get money, and there are far fewer brain-dead officials who still insist on harassing the people.In the eyes of the common people, he is a great and good official, and he is very supportive of Lu's father and son's rule of the Southwest.

In the past, most of the bandits who occupied the mountains as kings were the Gongkou Mountain Hall of the Gelaohui. Because of their different ideas, they ravaged the village, robbed merchants, bullied men and women, exploited with high profits, extorted, sold tobacco, trafficked people, and forced good people into prostitution. .Lu Zhaolin mobilized the army to strike severely like the autumn wind sweeping the fallen leaves, arresting and killing those who were killed, and soon made those pao brothers change their ways and dared not engage in these unethical business without capital and profit, and turned to Xu Baoshan to make money. went.There are very few people who continue to occupy the mountain as king, and even caravans with weapons are not easily provoked, let alone the army.

Lu Yang, an outstanding cadet of the Phoenix Military Academy, is a ruthless man with a baby face. He looks pure and innocent on the outside, but in fact he is very resourceful and elusive when fighting.At this time, he looked at the green mountains in front of him, and said with a smile: "I really want to see how foreigners fight."

The people around echoed, "Yes, yes, we also want to see and see."

Lu Zhaolin smiled and said, "Well, I want to see it too."

After talking and laughing, the group of people ate and continued on the road.

It is the early summer season, the mountains are rainy, the air is humid, the daytime is hot, the night is cold, the miasma rises in the forest, and the poisonous insects and snakes are active in the grass, which is hard to guard against.Their marching speed is very fast, but they are also very cautious to avoid injury and poisoning and delay the journey.They are very tired every day, but their spirits are constantly excited. Even if there is no accident, they will sweat all over their heads when walking down the mountain road for dozens of miles. It is very uncomfortable, but they can only bear it hard. Rush away the sweat all over the body, that refreshing feeling is the greatest happiness.

The places they walked were not all uninhabited, and small villages often appeared in the valley or among the mountains.Most of the villagers are ethnic minorities, their life tends to be primitive, and they are very poor and difficult.Most of them were illiterate and could not speak Chinese. Because they had been exploited and oppressed by Han officials for a long time, they hated Han people and were very unfriendly to them.They carry guns on their backs, and they are all fierce. Most of them dare not provoke them, but there are still some men who have been oppressed and persecuted by Han officials or rich Han businessmen, and their families have been ruined. Dig traps on the mountain road they are advancing, or wait for them to pass by quietly in ambush, and push down giant logs and rolling stones from the mountain, and you can kill as many as you can.

They encountered several dangerous situations in Sichuan, and soon learned to be smart.Every time he passed a village, Lu Zhaolin would chat with the local village chief or patriarch or elder.He has an extraordinary talent for languages, and he can learn their languages ​​as long as he talks to them for two or three hours, and there is no obstacle in communicating with them.

He introduced them to the outside situation and development direction, and encouraged them to go out with local products and trade with government-certified merchants. If they feel cheated, they can go to the government to file a complaint. If the local government bullies them, they can entrust someone to write If the letter goes to the Governor's Yamen in Rongcheng to file a complaint, or goes directly to the Governor's Mansion in Rongcheng, someone must seek justice for them.In addition, if their children are willing to go to school, they can go to a nearby county or city to go to a primary school run by Shangguan. The tuition fee is not high, and board and lodging are included.

After chatting, he will give them a card with his own name, "If you go to the government to file a complaint, you can show them this."

Those people were shocked to hear him speak the language of their own nation fluently. Although they didn't dare to believe what he said, they also expressed their gratitude for his friendly attitude.

Usually after chatting, he would visit the villagers and treat all sick adults and children in the village.Using herbs found in the mountains, supplemented by acupuncture and massage, he cured many people.Even when the sick and wounded were terminally ill, apparently terminally ill, he tried to ease their suffering so that they could go through the last stretch of life in peace.

For this reason, he received the gratitude and respect of all the people in those villages. The families of the injured and sick gave him all kinds of soil and fur as a token of their love.Lu Zhaolin only took edible ingredients, and then took out silver dollars and stuffed them with them as a purchase.

His actions will always make those villages let go of their hatred and murderous intentions towards them Han people, and let them avoid many dangers.

The local products purchased in the mountains are all brought by the cooking team. If there are obstacles on the road and you can’t find food, you can cook these bacon, dried vegetables, sweet potatoes, etc., which can not only satisfy your hunger, but also be considered delicious.

The continuous high mountains sometimes block the radio signal. Lu Zhaolin basically finds a place with a signal every two or three days. He talks to Lu Haocang in Sichuan and Cai Songpo in Yunnan to learn about the situation.

Before they reached Spring City, they rushed to Cai Songpo in Mengzi to report to Lu Zhaolin, "We have started a war with the invading French army."
