    Chapter 215 People in Japan (2)

    "I thought, it is better to attack the city than to attack the heart. If we talk about attacking the heart, the first thing is Huairou. Back then in places such as Sanyuan City and Fushan City, the generals in the army killed innocent people wantonly, making the people fear our army like a tiger, but they also hated it to the bone.  , if it goes on for a long time, it may not be a temporary solution. Therefore, the people in the city should be treated mercifully. "

    "Do you think I don't want to? These bastards are so anxious that they can't win a battle." Hu Xiaomao shook his head and sighed. He was also distressed by such things. Liang Dingfen said in his memorial to the court that he  There are "Eight Killables" with Li Hongzhang, one of which is to cause trouble and kill innocent people.  The emperor asked him to go east this time. Although the matter was urgent and he did not bother to ask questions, it would still be a big trouble once the matter was settled.  At this moment, listening to Qing'an's reminder, he made up his mind: This matter can no longer go on, the impact is too bad!  The most important thing is that it is too detrimental to win over people's hearts in the areas under their control.  "You're right. When we get back, you" He looked back and saw that Yuan Shikai was not with him. "When we get back, you and Yuan Shikai in my tent will draft a notice together to warn everyone in the army that there will be no more insults, beatings or scoldings."  Those who harm or even massacre innocent people will be punished by military law."

    "Yes. I will start the process immediately after I return home for a while." Qing'an agreed and asked again, "Commander, the Japanese chief has been captured by our side. Do you want to see him?"

    "Is it the Lieutenant General named Zhao?"

    "yes."

    "I'm gone now. We'll talk about it in a few days." Hu Xiaomao shook his head and said, "By the way, where have you been living these days?"

    Hearing Hu Xiaomao ask about this matter, Qing'an's expression changed, and he hesitated for a while, unable to say a complete sentence, "What's wrong?"

    "Commander, don't be surprised. In the past few months, all the generals have stayed at Yuanting."

    Hu Xiaomao was furious!  "Living in Yuanting for several months? You, if I didn't come, I might even have given birth to a little general, right?"

    Qing'an found it funny, and suddenly realized that this was not a time for joking, and returned to his dry look, "This, I don't know about this."

    "The order is passed, everyone will move back to the city, and no one is allowed to spend the night outside the city."

    Qing'an felt very embarrassed. Such an order would probably arouse public anger: What's so good about the city?  On the other hand, Kite Pavilion, with delicious food to accompany it and a Japanese woman to accompany me at night, couldn't be more comfortable.  In addition, Hu Xiaomao is no better than Bao Chao. He treats the sergeants very well and everyone is not afraid of him. It is very difficult to execute the order. "Commander, the city has originally arranged residences for the generals. It is difficult to move in."  No problem; it¡¯s just that these days, it¡¯s been occupied by soldiers. If we start to take action, it will inevitably cause people to panic, and I think it¡¯s better to wait until next spring, right?¡±

    "No! Give the order immediately and ask them to move immediately. Ask them, are they here to fight or what? What is it like to soak in the gentle countryside all day long?" Hu Xiaomao said directly, "Let these people move immediately, you  Go back now and prepare an announcement. Anyone who refuses to enter the city to live before tomorrow will be punished under military law."

    At this moment, Qing'an had no choice but to nod respectfully, salute, and turn around to leave.

    When the order was passed on, the situation was as Qing'an expected. Although such a decree would not cause a mutiny, there were many people who disapproved of it. "Can I control the heaven and the earth and still control the Japanese ladies?" Hu Lincang  The first one roared, "Xiao Teng, what do you think?"

    "Don't be stupid, Old Hu," Teng Ziyu said, "Not long after Junmen entered Beijing, he hurried back. There must be a reason for this. Otherwise, why would he be like this?"

    "I'm talking about serious things with you, why are you talking about this?" Hu Lincang said, "I'm not moving anyway, why move? I live well in Yuanting, and it won't delay the serious military affairs. Can he control me?"

    "Old Hu, aren't you just trying to make an argument? Why can't he control you? He's a military sect from a province, and he's here under the emperor's order. Tell me, why can't he control you?"

    Hu Lincang was at a loss for words. He was just speaking out of anger, how could he be serious?  "Well, I won't accept it anyway if you ask me to move back."

    Teng Ziyu was too lazy to talk to him and shouted out, "Come, climb the mountain immediately and move all my luggage to the city." The soldier agreed and turned around.

    One person obeyed first, and the others, no matter how dissatisfied they were with Hu Xiaomao, had no choice but to obey the order. On the path from the city to the Yuanting Pavilion in Dongshan, horses hooves rushed and soldiers came and went. The household expenses of the generals were moved again.  At the foot of the mountain, they settled in their respective official offices in the city.  In a short time, the city wasThere was a lot of chaos outside the city. The Japanese didn't know what was going on. They thought they were going to fight again. They were panic-stricken, so there was no need to mention it.

    Hu Lincang secretly resented that he could not afford to offend Hu Xiaomao now, but when Bao Junmen came back, he would have to accuse him severely in front of him!

    On the third day of the first lunar month, a big event happened in Kobe City!  The cause of the incident was the evil deeds of Zhao Jian Nobumori and Prince Komatsugu Akihito. In order to resist the Qing army's attack in the city, these two men ingeniously ordered people to dig tunnels of unknown length, depth, and distance in the city.  , making the people in the city feel like they were living in houses made of building blocks. Once there was a huge earthquake - such as an earthquake - a two-square-kilometer area in the eastern city suddenly collapsed!

    Hu Xiaomao and his colleagues were discussing something when they suddenly felt the ground shaking, "It's an earthquake!" Before he could finish his sentence, everyone was unsteady and fell like a gourd on the ground.  When he stood up, he hurriedly asked, "How are you doing? Is anyone injured?"

    "No, I'm fine I'm fine too."

    Fortunately, it was just a false alarm, so Hu Xiaomao felt relieved, but after a while, the report came, "A large area of ??the city collapsed, and I don't know how many people were trapped underneath!"

    Hu Xiaomao stamped his feet vigorously and said, "Order the management of each battalion to lead troops to rescue people immediately." As he spoke, he led his own soldiers and rushed out first.

    When we arrived at the earthquake scene, the scene was horrific. The cries of children in fear and the howls from under the ruins were heard together. There were not many men in the city, so we had to rely on women, but they were already very skilled and started to automatically start the preliminary work.  rescue.  But it is a drop in the bucket and not enough to be used.

    The arrival of the Qing army immediately alleviated the shortage of personnel. The language barrier did not become an obstacle. Japan is a country prone to earthquakes. People living here are already familiar with this situation, so the buildings are built regardless of location.  , regardless of height, the most important factor to consider is that people will not be killed during an earthquake. If this earthquake occurs on flat ground, the casualties will not be very large, but the ground subsidence will cause more trouble.  .

    Hu Xiaomao moved a piece of broken furniture away with force, and suddenly turned around, "Teng Ziyu? Teng Ziyu?"

    "Here, my humble duty is here."

    "You go back immediately and bring the military doctor. There must be someone to take care of so many injured people."

    "yes."

    More and more Qing soldiers appeared at the earthquake scene. Although the increase in personnel speeded up the rescue work, it also brought ambiguity due to language barriers. "Interpreter, where is the interpreter!" A team of Qing soldiers looked like they were in full swing.  He yelled several times, but no one answered him. He had to lower his head and smile bitterly at a Japanese woman standing in front of him and shake his head, "I don't understand you, do you understand?"

    The woman was crying and screaming, pointing randomly around with her hands, "You" Captain Zheng turned around helplessly and said to his brothers, "Which of you knows what she is talking about?"

    "Woooooooooooo!" The woman couldn't get help and started crying anxiously, "Don't cry, don't cry, what do you want to say? You gesture!"

    The woman wiped her tears, and suddenly her eyes lit up. She pointed at the child standing in a daze not far away, "Ah, ah!"

    "You mean, you have a child?"

    "Hi, hi!" The woman nodded vigorously and walked back and forth a few steps like a person running, "You mean, there was a child who ran away? Where did he go?"

    The woman blinked, ran a few steps, and suddenly lay on the ground, with her hands on her body and her face waving, "Boss, what's wrong with her? Do you want to kill her?"

    "Shut up!" The team ignored the soldiers who were joking with them. "You mean, there was a child who ran away and then was buried, right? Where was he buried? Take me there!  "

    The two talked for a long time, and roughly figured out each other's intentions. The woman quickly got up from the ground, took the leader's hand, and looked for it in the ruins, "Ah, ah!"

    "Right here? Down here?"

    ¡°Hey yi, hi yi!¡±

    This sentence is the only one that Chinese people can understand. Team leader nodded, "Brothers, there may be a child down here, dig it out quickly!"

    Busy from morning to afternoon, more than 360 corpses were exhumed, and relatives of the deceased came to claim each. However, the number of survivors rescued by the Qing army and the people was less than fifty. The child who begged the soldiers to save him  Although the soldiers worked hard to help the woman, the final result still disappointed her. Seeing her holding her son's body and crying bitterly, everyone felt bad in their hearts. They each sighed and looked at the mud and dirt on their hands.  Blood stains, turned around and walked away.

    The earthquake this time was not very serious, but afterA joint rescue effort by people from two countries with different positions actually caused some changes in the Japanese's perception of the Chinese. Hu Xiaomao felt this the most deeply. When he first returned to Japan, he occasionally led his soldiers to patrol the streets, which was eye-catching.  All he received were indifferent and hostile looks. However, after the earthquake relief, the situation reversed. Although no Japanese came up to say hello to him, what he often saw were people busy working on their own livelihoods on the streets.  When you see yourself, you will bow unconsciously.

    "Qing'an?" Hu Xiaomao said slowly after patrolling the city as usual every day.

    "Yes, sir?"

    "You originally said, what is the name of the castle guard of Kobe Castle?"

    "His name is Motohara Shinzo."

    "Bring him to the military headquarters tomorrow No, it's better not to give up. I'll go see him in person."

    "The commander-in-chief wants to invite him to serve?"

    "Let's see and then talk. Even if I want to, I have to be willing to agree!" Hu Xiaomao said, "You go with me and act as an interpreter."

    "Yes. Your Majesty has a destiny, and you should follow it if you are humble."

    Hu Xiaomao nodded, turned the horse's head, and headed towards the military headquarters. As soon as he arrived at the entrance of the military headquarters, he heard Bao Chao's familiar loud voice, "Chunting is back?"
