At the end of March of the sixth year of Yongli, it had been half a month since the order to increase labor intensity and time to speed up the construction of fortifications was issued.

Until today, the Anhua Town fortifications have finally been completely completed, and the deep fortifications and camps have also been completed. However, for Wang Qinian, it is indeed difficult to survive to this day.

Since the General Office issued the military order, the officer in charge of their coolie battalion issued an order to get up early every day and delay the work. At the same time, in order to prevent the coolie from being lazy, any sections where problems arise, the supervisors responsible for supervision will be held in a row and bear the same punishment as those workers. Moreover, in order to prevent these supervisors and coolie who surrendered to the Ming army from colluding with each other, the Ming army will personally come to check the quality of the project every day, and any unqualified sections will be pushed back and forth, while the coolie and supervisors must complete the project again on the same day for inspection.

In this way, the current coolies of the former Green Camp soldiers who lacked rest time due to extended work are often ordered by the Ming army to rebuild because the project did not meet the standards, which further increased their labor intensity.

The coolies did not protest against such oppression, and they all had language and actions, but the responses they received were mostly whip from the supervisors. In fact, being whipped might be a good thing, because those who had the chance to bear the whip were obviously not discovered by the Ming army in advance. If they were discovered by the Ming army first, not only the parties involved would be punished, but even the supervisors would not be exempted. Once the supervisors were punished, they would even be more severely probable and deduct the food they distributed at noon. The result was that they worked overworked while hungry, and at the same time they had to be beaten up. Some of them were even pulled out to kill the chicken to warn the monkeys in the name of unintentional repentance.

It is said that the sky is high and the Tartars are far away, and they have less food and more hard work; if you fight three times a day, what if you don’t respond?

But if they want to resist, they need to face the half of the war barracks and garrison troops stationed near them. When they were in the upper hand, they were unable to defeat the Ming army. Now there are obviously more Ming soldiers, and they also occupy the key and favorable terrain everywhere. Resistance is a dead end.

So the already scared green camps came up with a way to escape, and almost every day someone would connect his familiar comrades in private to escape together.

Wang Qinian did not think of running away. Even his "family friends" who were eating in the same pot, but later became a prisoner. Now, Tan Jingren, who is a coolie together, has also persuaded him. However, unlike Tan Jingren, who even his wife was stolen from outsiders. He is a native of Jinhua Prefecture, and his family and property are in Tangxi County, not far from the city of the city. If he escapes, what will happen to his family and the land and houses he passed down from his ancestors? But if he doesn't escape, I'm afraid that if he continues like this, he will have to die of exhaustion in this coolie camp.

But just when Wang Qinian was still in a dilemma, the first person to eat crabs appeared. When he got the news, he saw that the man and the two former green camp soldiers who had accomplices had been captured by the Ming army.

It was a noon. Two accomplices had been killed by the Ming army while hiding from the pursuit, and even their bodies were dragged back and hung on the tree next to the construction site. The surviving one was not only broken with one leg, but was also dragged to the spot by the Ming army. In full view of the public, the responsible officer ordered the punishment of being whipped five hundred times and then beheaded and displayed for public display.

There were 500 whips. Whenever the fugitive was slapped, the supervisor would wake him up with cold water. Until later, even the cold water could no longer awaken him, the supervisor in charge of watering reported to the vicious Ming army officer, who had been beaten to death.

But even so, the punishment of the five hundred whip was not exempted from this. After whipping the corpse into a pile of rotten meat, the punishment of beheading was also executed as promised. As for the corpse, it was also hung on a nearby tree.

Taking advantage of the time when the Ming army established its authority, the former Green Camp soldiers, including Wang Qinian, got some rest time, but the evening meal showed an unprecedented amount of food. But early the next morning, there seemed to be some meat missing on the three corpses. Wang Qinian didn't know who did it, whether it was a beast, or something else, so he didn't dare to think about it. He didn't want to think about it.

As for the plan to escape, even Tan Jingren no longer mentioned it. He just worked in a hurry, fearing that the Ming army and the supervisors would find something. But even so, there were also former Green Camp soldiers who were carried out for burial every day because of exhaustion or being beaten to death by supervisors. I just didn't know which day it was his turn.

After working all over the body, he had been bruised and wounded for more than half a month. Finally, the prescribed project was basically completed. The officer in charge seemed to have been in a good mood because the fortifications in Anhua Town was completely completed. He suddenly found that they were not far from being exhausted to the collective, so he asked them to rest for half a day, and then continued to strengthen the deep fortifications and camps.

I hope this day ends early and I can still return home alive to reunite with my family.

Chen Wen did not know the prayers in Wang Qinian's heart, and even if he knew, he would not have any mercy. Because when these former green camp soldiers who acted as coolies were serving as the Qing army, they would not talk about suppressing the Qing army for the Qing Dynasty. These scumbags robbed people's wealth in the village of the garrison, and even made money and sexual intercourse to harm human lives. Everything they suffered at this moment was nothing more than retribution.

What causes and what results should be obtained? It is natural to plant them!

The day after receiving the news of the completion of the Anhua Town fortifications, Chen Wen came to the newly built Nantangying Martyrs Cemetery outside the city early in the morning. According to Chen Wen's regulations, the bodies of his family still living will be placed by each family, and the General's Office will burn silver. The martyrs Cemetery only has tombs. Those without their family will be buried in the martyrs Cemetery. Each battalion will organize officers and soldiers to come to pay homage during festivals. As long as the organization of this army is permanent, it will be eaten and eaten.

However, unlike the martyrs who died and died in the battle of Xiaoshun Town before the Ming army entered Jinhua Prefecture and died in the battle of Xiaoshun Town, the martyrs who were to be buried this time were not killed in Jinhua, but those who died in battle on Tiantai Mountain to protect Wang Jiang.

More than a month ago, Chen Wen and the envoy of Wang Sheng who returned from Quzhou finalized the transaction to exchange the "treasure" in his hand for his subordinates' bodies. After the agreement was reached completely, the envoy told the truth.

After Wang Sheng captured Wang Jiang, he used the heads of the Ming army, the people and Ye Shirong, whom he had killed on Tiantai Mountain, whom he had previously killed on Tiantai Mountain, to report to Chen Jin to the title of Chen Wen's subordinates, while the bodies of Chen Wen's subordinates were simply hidden in the ice cellar in the home of a wealthy family who was killed by Wang Sheng's family for his affair, so as to be able to trade with Chen Wen in the future.

In this way, after a series of bloody battles in Jinhua Prefecture, repeated verification of Wang Sheng's achievements in arresting Wang Jiang and a series of incidents in which the transaction started. After obtaining the specific situation, Chen Wen sent a trusted officer and his troops to the transaction site at the border between Tiantai County and Dongyang County to replace the body.

However, after confirming the identity, since the weather began to get hotter and the body was not conducive to preservation, it had to be cremated and then return to Jinhua with the ashes.

Today, it is a zodiac auspicious day specially selected by a fortune teller in Fucheng, which is said to be very effective, so that these soldiers will not be affected by delaying the burial in the future, and will be able to be reincarnated smoothly, and will not suffer in the next life. For the same reason, the families of these martyrs gave up the idea of ​​burying their ashes in their own land. They chose to be buried here together so that they would not affect the reincarnation and reincarnation.

Even with only ashes, the coffin selected this time is still the best. After the former comrades carried the coffin into the cemetery step by step until the tombstones of the burial, the families of the martyrs burst into heart-wrenching crying, and even Chen Wen and the officers accompanying him showed sad expressions.

Most of these soldiers, Chen Wen, recognized them as one of the old Nantang camps during their lifetime, and most of them were warriors who participated in the battle behind the Simingshan Palace. Niu Ping'an, the garrison in Tiantai Mountain who was buried first, was very familiar to Chen Wen.

Wu Dengke's village party joined Sun Yu and others in Jinhua to compete with Dalan Mountain. When Chen Wen talked about ancient times, he always guarded the bonfire and added firewood silently. In the small courtyard of the Sun family, he swore allegiance with everyone, and worked hard to train on Dalan Mountain to the back of the palace. When he arrived at the battle behind Siming Mountain, when he was facing the Qing army's artillery fire, facing the Qing army that had already pressed the torch to the fuse, and the tiger squat cannons that were about to squirt, he resolutely stood in front of him with several other long card players...

In Chen Wen's impression, Niu Ping'an was not good at speaking, but was able to do his duty. If such an officer had not accepted the new tactics too slowly, he would have stayed in the first game at that time. As Chen Wen attacked Jinhua Mansion, but after that, as the Ming army in Dalan Mountain moved from Tiantai Mountain to Jinhua Mansion, Wang Jiang went to persuade other Ming troops, and was left by Wu Dengke and Li Ruixin to guard Wang Jiang. He would never have the chance to live to see the Tartars being driven out of China.

In front of Niu Ping'an's grave, Niu Ping'an's wife and two sons cried loudly with the tombstone to vent their grief. Niu Ping'an's village party, also his former boss Wu Dengke, knelt in front of the grave, and said self-blame words such as "I harmed you" and kept kowtowing.

After filling in the soil, burning paper money, and worshiping, Chen Wen once again expressed his firm will to carry out the welfare system of raising martyrs orphans to the end, and swears that their children will be able to live on the land of China that will clear the fishy Chinese in the future, and will never let their sacrifices and efforts be wasted.

After leaving the Martyrs Cemetery, Chen Wen, who was full of sadness and heavyness, brought his personal soldiers back to the camp. Along the way, Chen Wen's personal soldiers captain Zhang Jun was not there, but returned home to attend his brother-in-law's funeral. These personal soldiers followed Chen Wen as quietly as usual, silent. Until they arrived outside the camp, the team that had been silent for a long time was a little surprised.

He pulled the man in front of him aside, but Chen Wen, who was displeased, did not scold him, but asked bluntly: "Why are you back? What happened in Quzhou?"

The visitor was the "Monkey Xu Zhu" who stayed in Quzhou to collect information. Seeing Chen Wen ask, Bai Jinghe quickly answered in a low voice.
