But in Hebei, which is separated from Huazhou Huatai City by a river, near the city of Wei County, Weizhou (now Qixian County, Hebei), there is full of cries. Because under the escort of the Heyang Army, groups of men, women, and children in luxurious or relatively fine clothes came to the Liyang warehouse on the bank of the Yellow River.
And here is also the exit of the famous Yongji Canal, the branch hub where the Northern Caohe River enters Hebei; the empty ship group that has just finished loading and unloading supplies is also here waiting for them to board the ship.
This is also derived from the final decision of Heyang Jiedu Zhuge Shuang who is now sitting in Weizhou in person. Although he didn't start killings under the rule like Zhu Lao San, he also packed up the thousands of poor households and well-dressed households under the rule and sent them to the customs one after another to let them deal with.
Of course, the fields and houses left behind by these people after they were forced to "move out" are certainly to be confiscated for subsequent takeover and redistribution, but other food, money, and materials have greatly enriched the river. The Yang Army’s arsenal also boosted the morale of the army.
Therefore, after the army commander Zhuge Zhongfang led the troops who went to Shaanzhou to fight, they returned with a full load of seizures and grains; Zhuge Shuang did not hesitate to take care of his old age, and he swore another 30,000 soldiers without hesitation in Jixian, the state city. , Sent troops north to invade the territory of Xiangzhou (now Anyang, Henan) to which Weibo Town belongs.
In one fell swoop, he broke through the Tangyin City of Xiangzhou (now Tangyin, Henan), which is next to Weizhou, and then went down the Caohe River along the Caohe down to many fortresses and barriers, such as Mt. A battalion was set up under the Anyang city, and the 20,000 Weibo army who came to support and respond to the battle led to the battle.
Finally, when Zhuge Shuang temporarily showed weakness and refused to stay in the camp, he suddenly led the Taiping Squadron several battalions from the Tanyuankou of Linhe County to land on the side of the killer side; firearms telephoto shot the following array together, igniting the heavy peace. It's nothing to startled the horses and horses; Wei Bojun was unable to pay attention to each other and hurriedly saw chaos.
Then, Zhuge Shuang, who had been fighting for many years, categorically seized the warplane and broke the boat. Regardless of the threat of opening the door in the city, he took the opportunity to launch a counterattack and broke through Anyang water, killing more than half of them by drowning. Kill Wei Jun generals Le Yanwen, Le Shouzhen, Luo Honggui and others;
In the end, only the son of Wei Wang Le Yanzhen, the commander of the six prefectures, Le Congxun, was able to escape and return to Weizhou Daming Mansion/Guixiang City (now northeast of Daming County). For a while, Wei Bo's territory was shaken and uneasy, and the letter for help flew to Henan like snowflakes, already occupying most of the Tianping Army's Le Yanzhen's main formation.
—I am the dividing line —
In the southeast of Chang'an City, in the street market of Xinxingchengfang between Guangxiamen and Qujiang. During Zhou Huaian's walking period after a rare holiday and easy renovation, some enjoyable feelings filled the air with the peculiar smell of fireworks in the daily life of the city and at home.
Besides Han Jiyue, who was dressed as a child servant, only Lu Yan and Xiaoqi, who were pretending to be pro-accompaniers, followed him. But in fact, in the dark, front, back, left, and right directions, he didn't know how many identities were arranged Security guards, light and dark sentries and swimming cordon.
In fact, this emerging area was also specially selected, and the resettlement was mainly based on the families of the local civilians and temporary assistant soldiers who had been under the management of the Taiping Army during the previous two Chang'an defense battles; it was considered a relatively reliable and safe place. A safe model area.
Despite this, Zhou Huai'an still enjoys visiting or watching; because this is the first time he has been on the street as a passerby to appreciate and experience this world city, exclusive to the bottom of society and life in the city, especially Busy and noisy have the other side of chaos.
As a densely populated area of urban residents relocating and migrants filling in, most of the buildings in this city square market are actually repaired and newly built on the ruins after the war; therefore, all kinds of accents are flooded in the air, It also makes these people and things become bright and vivid and full of different kinds of vitality.
As far as he can see, most people look good and energetic; although the new and old styles are different, they are relatively neat and clean with few patches; even if they are careless vendors and pawns. , It is also rare to have yellow and thin faces; not to mention unkempt, skinny beggars.
Therefore, the restaurants and tea shops can be seen everywhere on the street, and the crowds are full of noise, and the shops of various colors are litzby and with the sound of soliciting, I can only see all kinds of people coming in and out; and the men, women, and children who are carrying objects of all sizes are also cheering. The laughter is like weaving in the streets and alleys;
The stalls on the side of the road and the hawking stalls and hawkers add a lot of color. Especially the shops, sheds, and stalls that sell food and drinks on the street, they almost want to spray the various aromas they are cooking on the face of every pedestrian.
Freshly boiled water of various colors, lees and tea, pigs and sheep cut into slices in charcoal simmering, whole skewers are hung on the eaves corners, under the porch, and you want to cut the chicken, cured duck, and glutinous meat. , Stewed vegetables; boiled Dagulao soup with leek leaf pancakes (noodles) and Shuiying pancakes (noodles), sweet and salty lao balls (tangyuan) and meat and vegetable dumplings (dumplings). . .
There are also various ingredients brought by the Taiping Army from the south, which are known to be omnipotent in the world and boiled in a frying pan for deep-fried food. It is even more so that the older children and children who are passing through here at the street festival often stop, and all kinds of begging, or unconsciously salivating, gather and look up.
Compared with most of them relying on the large-scale aquaculture industry of the Taiping Army, they have become very low-cost and friendly southern food; obviously Zhou Huai'an is more interested in the local Chang'an, some special snacks and local streets that have been handed down over the years Flavor.
For example, chestnut rice noodles are fermented with chopped white (tender) lotus, and lotus leaves are burned into plant ash and steamed. Rice and beans are ground together to form noodles. The noodles are spread out and cut into wide strips, dried, and then put on sticks. Bean yellow sticks for soup; chrysanthemum seedling cakes made by mingling yam powder with licorice water and frying them with oil.
Mix the current lotus root, lotus, water chestnut, taro, chicken head, water chestnut, ci mushroom and lily together, and then mix with stone honey, steamed and pounded into slices of seven raw cuts; mashed peas, barley noodles and sugar, and boil in fragrant soup The water ball made from it; the corn millet made by stuffing the taro powder and dried simmered seeds into the Hsinchu tube;
There is also a dough made of real flour, oil cake, sesame, pine nuts, walnuts, and dill mortar, mixed with wheat starch and red yeast rice, which is almost indistinguishable from the real and fake red meat; made of beef and sheep blood Miscellaneous boiled soup; dairy products such as butternut, milk scraper, and bubble with the flavor outside the cork. .
Not to mention the various types of pasta and soup, such as biluo, sazi, glutinous rice, glutinous rice, cream ring, etc. that are available in the bakery and food shops, and can be cooked and fried. Zhou Huai'an can't help but relish. Past life such as steamed buns, buns and oil cakes of later generations.
And in those dried food shops, there are even special places to sell such as shrimp, meat, milk house, wine and vinegar meat, pork noodles, roast bird, bad rabbit, mutton plate, carp, etc. Of raw and cooked food.
Even if it is a careless trafficker and pawn, you can cut a small piece or one or two bunches by paying a few "fifths", and then take it to the wine cabinet on the side. A pot of the cheapest turbid wine, ask for an empty jar to make the noodles, you can have a good taste for a long time.
Among those restaurants and restaurants that are filled with the aroma of vegetables, wine and popularity, in addition to the traditional japonica, glutinous, millet, millet, wheat and other grains, the fruit wine alone includes wine and honey. Liquor, yellow orange wine, coconut wine, perry wine, lychee wine, date wine, etc.;
And on the recruiting page next to some medicine shops, there are other health-care medicinal wines that sell glutinous rice wine, ** wine, sea tongs wine, viper wine, rehmanniae wine, wolfberry wine, musk wine and other health-preserving medicinal wines.
Then there are shops selling pulp water drinks and soup vendors carrying pots, holding bottles, carts and shouting along the street; in addition to the traditional light glutinous rice, sanle pulp, and Xianghuoyin, there are also pear pulp, jujube juice, Sweet potato syrup, papaya juice, soap water, mung bean water, brine plum water, ice water for Sanshu medicine, etc. are used as summer items.
Then, there are more sweet bean soup, bean water, brine plum water, ginger honey water, Shen perfume, lychee cream water, bitter orange water, kumquat group, snow bubble shrinking drink, and plum blossoms from Liangling and Jiangnan characteristics in the south. Wine, Wuling Dashunsan, Perilla Drink, Coconut Soup.
Because of the import of a large number of southern products, there have also been confectionery shops selling monopoly sugar towers, sugar lions, sugar cakes, sugar wrappers, rolling cakes, and crisp sugar plates; although they taste a little greasy and have a lot of impurities , But it is a rare cheap snack for the local people.
Therefore, Zhou Huai'an strolled in this market for a round of tasting. Although he inevitably tasted too strange or lost the taste because of curiosity, such as dark dishes, but also because of a few new things, he let his vision. The long-lost energy bar moved so few threads.
Of course, besides the big gatherings that he regularly talks about at night and the occasional transaction processing that needs to accelerate the calculation, there are really not many times when he needs to use this auxiliary function, and there is only a basic appetite for trying new fun. That's it.
After a little tired from walking, Zhou Huaian and his party came to a place that looked the oldest and seemed to have been preserved in the war, and sat down on the upper floor of the reopened tea shop. (End of this chapter)
