Drinking horses in the Great Wall Grottoes, water chills hurt horse bones.
It is said that the officials of the Great Wall, be careful not to stay in Taiyuan!
The official work has its own process, and build a harmonious voice!
A man would rather die in a fight, so how can he build the Great Wall with depression
"Yin Horse Great Wall Grottoes"
Wei Jin: Chen Lin
—I am the dividing line —
You must know that during the return journey from Chang'an, Zhu Laosan dreamed of Dazhen of the Hedong Army and the handsome flag of Cui Anqian many times, and the lineup surrounded by nearby fireworks. The scene of being beaten into pulpy by the roar, and submerged in splashes of blood and debris, involuntarily awakened and sat up.
Therefore, when he returned to Luodu safely, the first thing he started was to buy a large number of mules and horses from Heyang side without stopping; then he sent envoys to go south to the brother’s office to ask someone to inquire and inquire whether he could buy and imitate firearms. Corresponding matters of tactics, and are willing to pay a large enough price for it.
Although he didn't dare to expect to get a gun cart that could break the enemy and urge the formation like a landslide, even the ordinary firecrackers that attack the enemy in a row like mowing the grass can be discussed! However, he did not expect that the other party actually promised and replied very readily and simply.
Soon after being enrolled in the pass, the Taiping Army dispatched the first team of corresponding technicians and coaches, and arrived in Henan with a variety of equipment across Luyang Pass in a rather low-key manner.
Although he was ecstatic after he got what he wanted, he couldn't help but feel horrified in his heart; at least for the invisible value and kindness from the Metropolitan Government, and for such a military state to treat others with respect. , Because of the self-confidence that is shown to be nonchalant and grasping. He is undoubtedly both rejoicing and unavoidable.
Although most people are envious of his having a high-ranking brother in the Taiping Army, he can communicate with him a month earlier than others. But to be fair to him, if it weren't for the instruction of the chief governor and his constant attention, how could he get so much convenience and step by step to where he is now.
Therefore, once he realized that King Huang might have to use his power to fight against the existence of the Taiping Army, he could only fail this "trust" and "will" without hesitation, and found a hundred thousand eagerness. From the beginning, the situation in the pass became more and more complicated in the dirty vortex. Now it seems that he did this step right again.
At least after the incident, King Huang did not have enough power to investigate and liquidate. He preserved his strength and "fleeed"; and the relationship with the Taiping Army was also well preserved and maintained. Only now is it better to get closer and closer. situation.
He naturally knew that in this world, there was no unreasonable kindness and casual kindness, at least there was no such thing as a world of continuous troubles and disasters. What's more, the other party is still a prosperous hero who has no relatives and no reason for the first time; therefore, he does not have the humble running script to inquire about the other party, just asking for such a little peace of mind.
The response I got was also a little surprising and confusing. The other party’s basic statements throughout the private messages are only the “good places” and “people’s livelihood” and “compassionate material power” around the principles of peace and justice. These are beautiful and dignified demands.
"Since we have been receiving such benefits over and over again, shouldn't our generation be ungrateful?"
Thinking of this, Zhu Laosan couldn't help but speak:
"Although people don't need to do anything from us, we can't help but express it; it just happens that the long straight (mules and horses) have been woven, so let's go south to Bozhou with the newly cast Ma Sixun."
"When necessary, you can contact the Tianping Army to respond. The friendship and tacit understanding of the common advancement and retreat these years should be used in these places. At least the beast in Caizhou who is making a fuss should make you know how powerful it is. It’s the only way to give full attention to Huainan!"
However, Zhu Laosan's thoughts did not last long, and he saw Li Bintang, whose nominal deputy is now marginalized in the army, walked over in a hurry, and could not help but secretly surprised:
"What's going on in Bintang? Could it be the craftsmen and instructors who came from the south, what new requirements and measures?"
You must know that Li Bintang was appointed by him as the deputy envoy to stay in the company, who is responsible for all negotiations and reception of the foreign aid team in the south, and has given most of the expedients to act cheaply, only for good food and drink under the preferential treatment of convenience. It is quite an important task to try to find something useful from those foreign technicians and instructors.
"It's not for these reasons, but those who are responsible for visiting the campsite have found out, do you want to report to stay behind?"
Li Bintang was hesitant and embarrassed:
"But are the local camps improper or incomplete? Or are the newly built water conservancy and river engineering deficiencies?"
Zhu Laosan couldn't help asking with a serious face: You must know that although he has a vulgar and innocent background, he has seen many examples of uneven hunger and hunger in the past few years in the rebel army. Therefore, he has worked hard after he has a foothold. To imitate the story of Lingnan, it took a lot of trouble and pains in these matters.
"But it's not these, but..."
Li Bintang hesitated and stopped saying:
"I said, Brother Li, can't you be more agile? Is there any relationship that can make people stabbed to the sky?"
Zhu Zhen, who was by the side, complained a little dissatisfied:
"Even if the relationship here can't be pierced to the sky, it's still inseparable..."
Li Bintang, who seemed to be seriously affected, couldn't help but smile and said:
"how do I say this?"
These Zhu Zhen also calmed down and said:
"Could it be that the epidemic is popular in Huainan, and it was carried by someone?"
Li Zhen, the palm secretary present, also asked in surprise:
"Although it is not a seasonal epidemic, it is not much worse than a seasonal epidemic..."
Li Bintang sighed with worry and color:
"The farmers from the south visited many farms and digging and sampling on river beaches, ponds, and Pize. Finally, they told me that the drought in Dugui Province was quite obvious this winter. The groundwater line has receded deeper than in previous years..."
"So what! Isn't our grain and grass already knocked down? Even if there is a little drought, it doesn't matter, right?"
Zhu Zhen was a little intolerant of his selling off, and choked:
"Indeed, stay safe and not restless and I heard that Brother Li will definitely not aimlessly on this matter..."
Zhu Laosan said flatly:
"According to the farmer’s words, when the waters of autumn and winter are dry, it is the time when locust flies can flourish everywhere. If the water line that can be seen in the soil drops for a long time, I am afraid that the beginning of the next year will become more and more dense. !"
Li Bintang finished this in one breath, but even his shoulders and face fell together:
"You mean, there may be a locust plague in the beginning of spring next year!"
Now Zhu Lao San inevitably changed his complexion, and the complexions of other people were also very difficult to look at.
As members of the former rebels, they had personally experienced the terrible drought that lasted thousands of miles back then, and the locust plague that was almost nowhere to be seen after the drought; even for this reason, they had no harvest in their hometown and could only be dying. Under the uncomfortable urging of the officials, they embarked on this path of no return to the killing of officials and rebellion.
"Then since the other party can find these signs, has they ever explained the corresponding mitigation or countermeasures?"
Zhu Laosan quickly came back to his senses and asked the key point:
"And this is my embarrassment!"
Li Bintang sighed:
"Does this generation have anything special? As long as I can get it out, I won't be stingy with it!"
Zhu Lao San couldn't help but say categorically:
"Our brothers in the rebels have been fighting for so many years, and it is so easy to have this place to stop and settle down; is there anything I can't bear to bear whether it is the golden silk treasure girl's house?"
"They didn't have too many personal requests, but based on past experience and experience, they gave me some advice..."
Li Bintang also smiled bitterly:
"When it is in the south, as long as there are signs, we can launch manpower and material resources in advance to control; for example, drive the people to dig out the eggs in the dry soil for exposure and fire, and raise chickens, ducks and geese to prey on the worms. , And even in the beginning of the spring, I launched the people to snare and extinguish them, and bought them at the price of the government, and even encouraged the people to use this to cook seasonal food... This is my biggest dilemma 1"
"..."
Hearing this, Zhu Lao San understood it all at once. These methods and methods sound very good, but they are based on the premise that after years of recuperation, the population gathers and settles down, can they be successfully launched and mobilized enough to correspond to the young and strong population.
But in the northern land where it has been fighting for so many years, and even after years of disasters and wars, it was so easy to temporarily restore some stable Henan/Duji roads, but it was completely different. It can be said that the separatist forces are full of enemies here, and most of the young and strong population only serve as potential soldiers for war preparations and the two main purposes of farming labor.
Therefore, wanting to recruit and suspend such a large-scale manpower and material resources at once, to carry out a proactive fight for an uncertain possibility in the future, is indeed a matter that seems to be outweighed and risky. .
If you just leave it alone, you may not see the most direct benefits and pros and cons, but first arouse local grievances or popular grievances, and give internal dissident elements and other external hostile forces a chance to take advantage of. After all, he had just integrated and annexed the forces of defense and guarding officials of several rebels inside and outside Dugui Road; he could not be regarded as a peace of mind.
Although there are two relatively friendly, potential allies and neighboring forces, the Heyang Army and the Tianping Army, whether it is Wang Chongrong in Hezhong on the west, Qin Zongquan in Caizhou on the south, or the three towns of Huaishang on the east. It can't be regarded as a reassuring object; what's more, once the locust plague is over, the reaction of these surrounding forces will be unpredictable.
After all, for most of the forces in this troubled time, the time-consuming and laborious relief and rescue in the face of famine is expected to be more trouble-free and worry-free as if Guangfa People's forces are carried out to grab a round. This can benefit from external looting, of course, even if nothing can be grabbed, it will weaken possible potential opponents in disguise, or it will consume the excess population internally in disguise.
