Following the suicide of Deputy Gang Leader Liu, fierce fighting broke out in Liu Town. The unprepared Gongde Cult believers reacted one after another after experiencing the initial panic. Under the command of the leaders, they fought with the Guangdong and Guangxi people who poured into the town. The city defense army launched a fierce battle, and Liuzhen was bleeding like a river and wailing again and again.
Since Liuzhen is the headquarters of the Gongde Sect in the Huguang area, all the die-hard members of the Gongde Sect gathered there. In order to avoid any accidents, Tan Zong decided to put an end to it once and for all. If the people of the Gongde Sect dared to resist, then he would kill them without mercy.
The people of Guangdong and Guangxi have always been brave, and the 8,000 city defense troops selected by Qiao Yu were even more fierce. At first, they only fought with the followers of Gongde Sect. Later, as the people in the town took up arms to resist, some people were killed and injured, making them The ferocity is so strong that everyone in the town, regardless of age or sex, will be killed.
Although the people in the town were more or less involved in the merit religion, such large-scale killings still caused a lot of trouble for Tan Zong. When he returned to the capital, the censor of the capital and some ministers Under Zhao Yunbo's control, Tan Zong was impeached, causing Tan Zong to "leave" to the North.
The followers of Gongde Sect were very tenacious. It was not until the next morning that those believers who were hiding in the town and resisting were wiped out by the city defense troops of Guangdong and Guangxi. At this moment, Liu Town had become a ruin, and the air was filled with There was a burning smell, and everywhere you looked you could see burned-down houses, rivers of blood on the ground, and dead bodies scattered everywhere.
Tan Zong frowned slightly. Surrounded by Shen San and General Zhang, the commander of the Guangdong and Guangxi City Defense Forces, he strolled through the streets of the town. From time to time, sergeants from the Guangdong and Guangxi City Defense Forces escorted captured Gongde Cult members from the side. Walked by.
"Alas!" As he walked, Tan Zong couldn't help but sigh softly. The development of the situation was beyond his expectation. He did not expect that Liu Zhen would actually massacre the city with red-eyed officers and soldiers. It seems that there will be another one in the future. There is some trouble.
"Dad wake up, mother get up!" Not long after, Tan Zong suddenly heard the cry of a child in front of him. When he looked up, he saw a **-year-old child lying on the roadside. Weeping bitterly over the two corpses.
"Stop!" Several city defense troops walked by. One of them, a big man, may have felt that the child was crying, so he raised the knife in his hand towards the child. Tan Zong frowned slightly when he saw this, and rushed The big man shouted in a deep voice.
Upon hearing this, the big man quickly put away his sword and saluted Tan Zong with the people around him. Although they did not know Tan Zong's identity, they recognized General Zhang. Even General Zhang could only serve as Tan Zong's follower. Then there is no doubt that Tan Zong's status is higher than General Zhang.
"Your parents have left. From now on, you can follow your brother." Tan Zong stepped forward, leaned over and gently touched the head of the crying child, and said with a smile.
"Brother Fool." The child looked up and saw Tan Zong. As if he had met a relative, he couldn't help hugging his legs and burst into tears again.
Tan Zong has become the king of the children in the town in the past few months. Children all like to play with him, so this child can't help but become dependent on Tan Zong.
"Go down and gather all the children and take good care of them." Tan Zong smiled and touched the child's head, and then said in a deep voice to General Zhang behind him. After all, he is also the king of children in the town, so he cannot just watch it. He watched the children in the town go to die, so he decided to adopt them. After all, they were just children from ordinary people in the town and had nothing to do with the merit religion.
As for the war that occurred in Liu Town, Tan Zong planned to slowly tell them the cause and effect when they grew up. Even if they could understand it or not, he had tried his best.
With Tan Zong's order, half of the children in Liu Town survived by chance. These children were adopted by Tan Zong and later became Tan Zong's confidants. Regarding the war disaster in Liu Town, those children He placed his hatred on the Gong De Cult: If the Gong De Cult had not come to Liu Town and rebelled, their parents would not have died tragically.
After explaining the matter about the child, Tan Zong, surrounded by Shen San, General Zhang and others, arrived at the house where Lian'er and others lived. The house had been taken over by the city defense army. A group of city defense army sergeants were standing outside the door. After arriving, Tan Zong and his party all bowed and saluted.
When Tan Zong walked into the lobby of the front yard, Lian'er, Huang Weijie and others were gathered inside, where they were whispering and talking about the cooperation between Dongting Lake and the government.
"Idiot, you're back" Seeing Tan Zong enter, Bai Yu couldn't help but stood up happily and walked forward quickly. However, after taking a few steps, she was stunned and looked at Tan Zong in surprise. vertical.
Not only Bai Yu, but also Lian'er, all stood up in unison, their eyesIn order to make the believers believe that his name was written on those documents.
Finally, at the end of the third month, the Gongde Sect members who were seriously short of food in the city launched a riot* and captured the senior members of the Gongde Sect, and then opened the door and surrendered to the government troops. Huguang was pacified in one fell swoop.
Tan Zong had people screen the members of the merit sect, and based on the principle of "only punishing the first culprits and never pursuing threats", those who committed the most heinous crimes were imprisoned, and the rest were released and allowed to go home to work in the fields.
When Tan Zong finished handling the affairs of Huguang and returned to Beijing, it was already the end of December. He had stayed in Huguang for almost a year. Through his unremitting efforts and through various policies that benefit farmers, the economy of Huguang has improved. Recovery began and social order was restored.
By wiping out the merit sect in Huguang in one fell swoop, Tan Zong has made a great contribution. No one could have imagined that what awaited him after returning to the capital was a bizarre ending.
