The Shaanzhou coach is loyal and loyal, and defends the city without moving.
The coach of Pujin can conquer the soldiers, and there is no sound of dogs for thousands of miles.
Tang: Excerpts from Wei Zhuang's "Qin Fu Yin"
—I am the dividing line —
Because of the arrival of the transport team, the corresponding rewards and snacks are also taking turns in the rear rest sequence, and even the newly formed supplementary battalion and auxiliary troops are in full swing; there are even special tour teams that come to visit with the team. Accompanied by faintly one after another roar and fighting sounds, perform singing, dancing, instrumental music, blowing, playing, singing, and laboring performances in the camp.
Although, apart from singing and dancing from specialized workshops, most people's performance level is the same, but for these soldiers, outstanding representatives, and the wounded who have been rotated from the front, it is also rare to relax and ease emotions. Opportunity, and at a time was full of uncontrollable laughter.
This scene also happened in the newly formed auxiliary pawns from the supplementary soldiers from the south, the local youths of Chang'an and the dependents of the volunteers. It is the first time that many people have seen this form of group friendship of eating, drinking and performing, and on the face mixed with fatigue and hardship, it is rare to show interesting and knowing smiles.
"Oh, the salted duck eggs are mixed... but you can eat them when they are cooked."
"It's Poluo roasted pork feet, I earned it..."
"Boiled minced pork with tofu is also good luck..."
"Mine is spicy chicken... good stuff"
"Or, I'll exchange dried fried blood sausage and canned omelette with you..."
In one of them, surrounded by a cauldron of hot hot water, among the assistants who took turns picking up the canned food; listening to the voice of his companion Wang Dun'er also sighed with sorrow. It is hard to imagine that I was still eating chaff under Tianmu Mountain more than half a year ago. Swallow vegetables, and think about how to use the least amount of firewood to roast the seared mackerel prawns for the belly;
Now you can enjoy singing and dancing in the Chang'an city of Shangjing, while picking and choosing various foods. It's really a blessing. However, this is just one of the benefits brought by the Taiping Army, which claims to make most of the suffering people in the world live in peace.
There are many types of meat available in the army, but the rarest and most popular is beef, especially buffalo jerky and canned beef from the land of Guiguan and Annan; followed by Hunan, Jiangxi and other places. (Mountain) Mutton products, the meat is thin and thick when cooked, it tastes thick and thick.
Then there are the four roads and ten roads, which are everywhere, and are raised everywhere. Dolphins, horns, and pigs, that is, pork with a relatively low taste; but the types and uses that can be processed are not more abundant than cattle and sheep; Therefore, it occupies the bulk of the production of dried candied fruit in military logistics.
As for the horse meat and dog meat that still exist among the six animals, they are all regional specialties with limited production. On the contrary, the smallest rabbit meat is more tender and palatable, but unfortunately because of its size, it is too small for meat. .
It is the last turn of the poultry that the chicken provides meat, eggs and feathers. It is also another popular meat among the army foods. As the bottom and the cheapest on the market, it is a slightly earthy smell and grass. Flavored ducks and geese.
Because the breeding of these poultry and rabbits is more extensive, compared to the pigs and sheep that need to be managed and fed on a large scale, they are almost in the village under the rule of the Taiping Army. Every household has leftovers to feed a few or more animals. It's a group.
In addition, there are several major river systems in coastal areas and inland areas, and lake basins provide seasonal catches and other aquatic products; however, in this era of general lack of calories and fats, these river seafood products are actually inferior to other poultry and livestock meats. The category is more popular.
Not to mention that after going through the road, there will be some preserved and fried dry goods, or cans of thick soup. But for Wang Dun'er, who was born in the water village and used to taste fish and shrimps, these are still good delicacies.
The reason is very simple. The various oils, water and condiments contained in it are sufficient to make any of the most indifferent foods in the world appetizing and palatable. Not to mention those soldiers who have been inland or mountainous for a long time.
And in the frontier zone where the confrontation with the officials and the army was temporarily, the heat filled with fireworks and blood has not yet subsided. Qu Chengyu, the newly-rotated lord of the 7th Army, was also at the same long table with a richer meal and self-pickup. This re-emphasized and proclaimed to the gathered generals:
"Our task at the moment is to stabilize the existing line! Cooperate with the clearing and consolidation of the rear... to assist the friendly forces in completing the reorganization and adaptive adjustment..."
"And the long-term strategy of our army is to fight steadily, step by step; don't be greedy for gains and losses at one place, and try to eliminate and weaken the enemy's vitality..."
"..."
"The ultimate goal is to accumulate small victories for big gains, so as to form the advantages of local battles from point to area, and gradually connect them to the advantage of the overall front..."
"So, as long as we maintain the current momentum and direction, if things go on like this, the timing and general trend will turn to our side..."
After explaining this concisely, Qu Chengyu withdrew from the routine banquets of these generals, so as not to affect their interest. Then he took the guards and guards, inspected and consoled several posts in accordance with military practice, and finally came to a building much higher than the ground at the forefront of the front.
And here he felt the still slightly hot night breeze in Chang'an City, but he watched intently at the lofty imperial city just a few long streets in the distance; the city under the background of the dark sky, but It's the still-lighted, non-stop communication, illuminating the outlines of the eaves bucket arches and the lacquered beams and pillars that flash up and down.
This is the heart of Datang, the center of the world; now it is so easy to get in front of him, and it seems to be able to grab something by reaching out, making people suddenly think about it.
If in the early years, he was still a humble country tyrant in Jiaozhou, Tiannan, and needed to save his family business for the integration, he would have never even thought of it, but how could he guess that there will be now in the future? Fortune and fame.
As one of the hilltops of the governor’s mansion, the Annan (Jiaozhou) Department, one of the weather vanes in the Taiping Army; after the initial determination of the two mountains, he not only gave up all the farms in his hometown, but also Most of the ethnic groups moved to Canton to express their views and support for the Taiping Army’s great cause.
In addition, he and Zhang Biao from Fengzhou, another local power faction from Annan, showed contradictions and dislike each other. He also met with the civil servants such as Fan Chuo and Qiu Huan who held important positions in the Dudu's Mansion. , Keep enough distance and distance.
Therefore, compared with a person who is greedy for money and profit and is keen on power; the empty ranks can only be transferred in the second and third-tier local sequences. Zhang Biao, who was given the nickname of the Lingnan barbarians; he has always been a deed as his deputy. Long-term retention in the main battle army preface.
Whether it’s being ordered to run and drive among the savage gathering places of the barbarians in Lingxi Mountain, in the piecemeal conquest and crusade battles, coercion and profit lure the implementation of the naturalization strategy of the Cantonese Government; or accompanying the navy in the waterways and mountains Many narrow places in Hunan, wandering and chasing among the mountains and Daze with those mountain and river pirates;
Even tossing through the mountains and rivers of Jiangxi, escorting and coordinating with all kinds of armed squadrons and three detachments, and those numerous bandits and bandits, native soldiers, fighting to attack and kill in the countryside. He has always been conscientious in every long or short task assignment and temporary position, even if it is trivial and complicated, he dare not relax.
Therefore, after the re-expansion of the Jiangdong Raiders, he also got the opportunity to be on his own for the first time. As a deputy, he led a mixed team as a partial teacher, chasing and clearing the old Hangzhou Badu regimental trainer Dong, who had broken away under Lin'an. Chang residual forces.
However, he did not hesitate to give full play to this power in his hand. During this not-too-distant pursuit, the eleven docks and ramparts of the big and small elevens were breached and suppressed, leading to the destruction of more than a dozen tycoons, headed by the Dong family, who occupied the local Bacheng fields.
Although he was accused of violence and cruelty by means at the time, and his actions were too implicated; but also because of this decisive and decisive performance against classes and groups of the same background in the past, it broke the last barrier that prevented him from entering the Taiping Army's promotion system;
Therefore, although he failed to catch up with the first wave of advance troops within the pass this time, he had a place in the second-route reinforcements. Therefore, he also sincerely thanked and respected the chief governor who brought him out of the corner of Annan.
If not, how could he have such a wonderful chance and experience, and experience so many ups and downs of personnel, and be able to devote himself to such a magnificent world. If you continue to stay in Annan, it will be nothing more than a frog in the bottom of the well that has been entangled with the natives for generations.
He thought and thought about it so much, but he couldn't help showing a smile full of nostalgia and emotion on his face. However, the smell sent by the sudden night breeze made his brows wrinkled involuntarily.
"Is it going to rain at this time?"
In the Daxingshan Temple, Zhou Huaian was also in front of the latest version of the sand table, counting the resources and chips in his hands.
In addition to the four combat barracks, four garrison battalions, and six supplementary battalions that came to the rotation this time, as the new force of the rotation, he also got a corresponding good news for granted; the main body of the Wuguan-Shangluo road widening project , Together with the emergency repair of the signal towers along the line is basically completed.
It was mainly due to the encouragement and encouragement he gave during his time in town, coupled with the expendable use of the prisoners of the feudal clan regardless of the cost, he overcomes many difficult accidental practices and rushes to the summer rainstorm. The main part of the road section has been widened and reinforced before.
In this way, in addition to Danshui, which fluctuates seasonally between Wuguan of Shangzhou and Shannan, the Taiping Army has more land transportation and transshipment channels. For the Taiping Army, a modernized military system with more sophisticated equipment and advanced equipment, the requirements on the scale and effectiveness of logistics are far superior to those of the classical military of the same generation.
