People live in the courtyard, pledge themselves to the country

Director Wu and Captain Zhou looked at each other and saw the solemnity in each other's eyes. Things related to food these days are not trivial matters.

"Director Lin, tell me what happened in detail, what happened?" Director Wu asked.

"I just came back from Arabia. When I came back, I brought a thousand tons of grain. As soon as I disembarked, I had someone transport it here. It was supposed to arrive today, but it hasn't arrived yet. I just called to ask. The convoy lost contact in Daxu Township, something must have happened!" Lin Xiao said seriously.

"What! A thousand tons of grain?"

"Daxu Township?"

Director Wu was shocked that Lin Xiao was able to get [-] tons of grain, while Captain Zhou had a solemn expression. He had been stationed in the Northwest for so many years, and he knew exactly what Daxu Township was.

"Xiao Wang, immediately gather everyone in my company, put on your equipment and prepare to go!" Commander Zhou shouted loudly, and his bodyguard immediately ran to carry out the order.

"Brother Zhou, don't use such a big fight!" Lin Xiao was a little puzzled. Even if the convoy encountered some troubles, it would mean that the food issue had been exposed, and the local government stopped him to get a share of the pie. There was no need to dispatch troops. So serious.

"Brother Lin, you don't understand, the convoy shouldn't go to Lantau Township!" The head of the delegation explained: "The situation in Lantau Township is very complicated. There are all people with the surname Ma in the ten miles and eight townships. They used to be from here. Bullies, they are honest farmers during the day, and at night they become bandits who rob and do all kinds of crimes. Later, after our army came, we got rid of the chief culprit and released the others, so they became honest for a while.”

"However, in the past few years, they have shown signs of resurgence. Not only have they set up private checkpoints on the road to force tolls, they have even blocked the road and robbed the army's supply vehicles, but they were repelled. If the convoy really leaves in Daxu Township If something happened, then it probably has something to do with them."

After listening to Captain Zhou's words, Lin Xiao couldn't help being a little stunned. He had only heard of this kind of thing, but he didn't expect it to happen today.

"Does the local government not care?" Lin Xiao asked.

Head Zhou smiled wryly and said: "What do you do? As long as people are arrested, people from all over the world will gather at the gate of the government to make trouble, and they are all old and weak women and children. They can't be beaten or caught. It’s nothing to let people go.”

"So, this Daxu Township is a cancerous tumor!" Lin Xiao said with a sullen face.

At this time, a group of people came running quickly from a distance, and an officer at the head ran up to him and saluted Commander Zhou: "Report Commander, all the companies have assembled, please give instructions!"

Head Zhou nodded and said: "Everyone is there, get in the car and follow me!"

Leader Zhou dragged Lin Xiao into a jeep, and the soldiers from the first company got into six trucks and headed towards Daxu Township in mighty fashion.

Lin Xiao and the others soon came to Daxu Township, but found that there was no one on the road in broad daylight.

With doubts, they came to the gate of the township government, but were shocked by the sight in front of them.

I saw the gate of the official mansion, all of them were heads, at least a few hundred people, many of them were holding earthen guns in their hands, Lin Xiao even saw a few earthen cannons.

It's just that they were just bluffing and didn't attack the government. Otherwise, the two-meter-high wall in the government compound would have been breached long ago.

Hearing the sound of the car, many people turned their heads and saw that it was an army car, their faces changed drastically, and they all shouted: "The army is coming!"

Immediately, many people turned their heads and aimed at the convoy with earthen guns, and some people turned the muzzle of the earthen guns. Upon seeing this, Captain Zhou immediately ordered: "Get out of the car and prepare to fight!"

A company of soldiers immediately jumped out of the car, occupying favorable terrain and confronting each other one after another. Seeing that the atmosphere was getting more and more dignified, it would be a tragedy if someone accidentally fired.

"Don't shoot, don't shoot!" The gate of the government compound suddenly opened, and a man wearing glasses rushed out and shouted loudly.

When the people over there saw the man, they gave way one after another. The man wiped his sweat and hurried over and asked, "Excuse me, who is the chief?"

Commander Zhou came out from the back of the jeep, but did not put down the pistol in his hand: "I am Zhou Ligong, the commander of the xx garrison regiment. Who are you? What happened here?"

The man quickly said: "Hello, Captain Zhou. I am the deputy secretary of Daxu Township. My name is Ma Lianfang. There is nothing wrong here, it's just a misunderstanding!"

"Misunderstanding?" Captain Zhou snorted coldly: "So many people besieged the township government with weapons. This is a riot and a rebellion! You must quickly let them put down their weapons, or they will be severely punished!"

Hearing that this person's surname was Ma, Head Zhou knew that he must be a native of Daxu Township, so he was not polite at all.

Hearing what Captain Zhou said, the sweat that Ma Lianfang had just wiped off immediately flowed down again, and he was able to sit in the position of deputy secretary. He was not as ignorant and fearless as his fellow countrymen, who could even gather crowds to besiege the government. come out.

In fact, this matter is very simple. Yesterday, the township government suddenly came to a convoy, pulling dozens of containers, and they were guarded very closely. He had an intuition that there must be something good in it, so he secretly notified the villagers, hoping to get a share of the action.

They have always done this before, no matter what it is, as long as they go from Daxu Township, they can always get a share, and the ten miles and eight townships of Daxu Township are all surnamed Ma, and they are very united, so even the government cannot take it. how are they.

Of course he was no exception this time, but when the villagers came to the government and clamored to open the container to have a look, those soldiers were not as talkative as those before. Watching them, even the few people who took the lead in making trouble were arrested.

When did the Ma family suffer such a loss in Daxu Township? Early the next morning, people from Ma Lianfang Village gathered people from several nearby villages and surrounded the government. The government had no way to communicate with the outside world, and even clamored for the soldiers to leave half of the containers as an apology.

The two heads of households in Daxu Township happened not to be in the government, and Ma Lianfang was the only one who could call the shots, so he was pretending to persuade those soldiers to make their big troubles smaller, but he didn't expect those soldiers to be soft and hard do not eat.

During the stalemate, Captain Zhou and the others came. Ma Lianfang felt bad when he saw another army coming, so he ran out to hide the matter. Who knew that Captain Zhou was so tough. , As soon as they came up, they were given a big hat of rioting and rebellion.
