Chapter 236 Passing the troops
"Passing the soldiers again!"

Hearing the exclamations, Xi Shikui hurriedly ran out of the house holding a small red flag. As a veteran local snake in Xianyang, since he took the initiative to help Liu Yingyu handle various matters in the city, he gradually began to have free time and no more errands. He has psychological uneasiness, which makes him very sensitive to the movements of the people's army.

After all, during the more than 200 years of peace and tranquility in the world, although the previous natural disasters had become more and more severe, a rebel force that could capture famous cities and fortresses suddenly appeared. His temporary compliance did not mean his true submission. People in the industry really don't dare to have inappropriate thoughts, otherwise once the imperial soldiers arrive and they get the reputation of being a thief, the family will be finished.

The sound of neat footsteps came, accompanied by the unknown roaring sound of machinery. At this moment, the sound of gongs sounded again, "Fathers and common people, please get out of the way and don't block the way. Our army has an urgent mission." .”

After a burst of noise, Xi Shikui realized what was going on. It turned out that a large circle of people had gathered at the front of the team, carrying wine bottles, steamed buns, chicken, duck and fish to greet them. Master Wang, these are the unscrupulous people in the city who have shared the benefits of the house.

During this period, the original upper class suffered particularly heavy losses, especially those with a bad reputation. Their grain supplies and supplies were confiscated or requisitioned, their property and shops were confiscated, and the poor suffered a lot.

As more and more people gathered on the main east-west road in the city, Xi Shikui had to squeeze in with the ordinary people. However, he saw that both sides of the street were already crowded with people watching the fun. Some were wearing common people's clothes and had red sleeve bands on their left arms. People stood on both sides of the road and struggled to maintain order. They were completely different from the majesty of the previous government officials. The main theme was cordiality.

Xi Shikui knew that these people were policemen recruited in the city. They were all locals who were from poor backgrounds and had benefited from the People's Army. They were led by some experienced policemen from Xi'an. He was a little puzzled how many people the People's Army occupied in Xi'an. God, where did all these die-hard fans come from?

At this time, a loud military song sounded from the ranks of the civilian army. The pure song without any accompaniment had a wonderful reflection on this group of young men. They were masculine and high in morale. These words can be used to describe it appropriately. The military is completely different.

The first thing that caught his eye was a red flag. The flag bearer was walking at the front of the team. Xi Shikui looked curiously at the words without any decorative patterns on the red flag: 42nd Brigade of the [-]st Division.

Behind this kind of military flag, which is completely different from the Ming army, is a group of soldiers wearing the same military green uniforms. The canvas belt of the same color is tied with a neat carrying equipment, with a bulletproof steel plate inserted inside. The canvas ammunition box is divided into three. Two small ones in front, one big one in the back, with a canvas grenade bag and a bayonet scabbard on the buttocks. The rifle on the shoulder swayed slightly with the footsteps and pointed diagonally in the air. Occasionally, soldiers leading donkeys and horses passed by. Carrying mortars and ammunition boxes.

Occasionally, a three-bouncer with green smoke passing by suddenly caused a burst of exclamation. These are basically teams led by a small number of modern veterans assigned to various units, equipped with drones, mortars, and machine guns. It is the nightmare of all hostile Ming army officers.

These are also the most elite vanguard troops. Behind this troops, there are twice as many troops equipped only with bows, arrows, swords, shields and spears. Their costumes are similar to those of the Ming army. The red battle jackets and cloth face armor are more similar to the impression of Xi Shikui. The Ming army in the Ming Dynasty was almost all pure troops, which was different from the flower troops of the Ming army that were now semi-firearmed.

After that, there was another elite unit equipped with rifles, followed closely by a queue of pure cold weapons. The overwhelming queue was long, with occasionally a few donkey carts sandwiched in the middle, filled with things and covered with The straw curtain made it difficult for Xi Shikui to see clearly.

"Without artillery, how can these people's troops withstand the imperial army?" Xi Shikui muttered softly.

"The red-haired barbarian is coming!" someone shouted.This is a red-haired team. They wear captured Ming army clothes and basically carry Ming army standard weapons. They also have no firearms, not even many bows and arrows.Although they are short in stature, old and young, there is a fierce aura all over their bodies. These people are almost all red-haired barbarians from the Spring and Autumn Period, old and weak. The young and strong have already followed the earlier ones. The attacking troops have left, and their entire clan will gain the right to become human beings through their military exploits.

Further behind were a large number of baggage troops composed of mules and horses, filled with traditional two-wheeled vehicles and modified four-wheeled vehicles. The wheels rolled on the stone road, making rumbling sounds.

"Master, can this bandit army succeed?"

Xi Shikui's face turned cold, "Next time you say the word "thief army", I will tear your mouth apart."

The boy bowed repeatedly to admit his mistake, and then Xi Shikui sighed and said: "Take it one step at a time! Master, I estimate that even if these people cannot defeat the capital, they can probably occupy Longxi in Guanzhong."

After many consecutive military parades passing through the city in the past few days, Liu Yingyu, who was in charge of local coordination work, suddenly felt that the work on his hands was much easier. The wealthy gentry who had been working in secret suddenly started to cooperate. On his desk were countless The invitations came from prominent figures in the city who wanted to entertain him, and even those who thought they were not qualified to see him sent generous gifts as a show of respect.

Liu Yingyu sneered and said: "If it weren't for the sake of stabilizing the work in the early stage, why would I still be making excuses with you? Humph." The current situation is that all the leading figures with evil deeds in the city have been taken down, and the remaining powerful factions with minor crimes have The treatment was suspended and their personal freedom was only restricted. Once the war is over, these people will be sent to Xi'an. Liu Ze will send them to the Spring and Autumn World. After experiencing the miracle of time travel, they can be used as appropriate according to the situation.

Looking at the congratulatory gifts, they were piled high with all kinds of silks, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, jewelry, jade, and silver. Even Liu Yingyu, who had been in officialdom for a long time, had never seen such a large number, but he was not greedy. He asked the staff to sign in and then turned around and left. These mundane things were not in his eyes before, but now that he has seen the vast world, they are even less in his eyes.

Liu Yingyu still has more important work to do. Yu Chengdong, who personally established the Spring and Autumn World Police System, will come to Xianyang today to inspect the newly established police station's work on household registration and civilian registration. He has to do it. There are a lot of troublesome tasks. very.

The so-called household registration and uniforming of the people is to completely control the grassroots political power. The subordinate officials originally affiliated to the Ming Dynasty cannot be used directly. At most, those without much reputation are selected as consultants. It is somewhat similar to Liu Yingyu's situation, which was transplanted to The Baojia system of Spring and Autumn World will be the first to be applied here. Almost all the village-level leadership teams in Spring and Autumn World have been promoted several levels here, and the number of people and scope of management have also expanded many times.

Their subordinate positions such as Chief of Security and Chief A try not to use original Ming personnel, so the work becomes one level more arduous. Fortunately, local power is now dispersed to the newly established police station system and various civil affairs systems. , agricultural taxes were exempted again, and all bureau-level units had modern communications connections, which prevented this work from going into chaos.

Although it is complicated and busy, fortunately everything is going in a good direction.
