Chapter 741: Shanxi (9)
When the sky was slightly bright, the Far Eastern Army had already taken control of Jiexiu County, and a large number of militiamen were busy there in the city's official offices, government treasury, as well as some large Jin merchants and grain stores. The Far Eastern Army requisitioned all the wagons and large cattle in the city, and was raiding homes and loading grain everywhere.
The Central Military Commission has also equipped the various guerrilla detachments in Shanxi with more than 100 war horses, all of which have been sent from Liaodong one by one in the past few months through river machine sailing boats and ants moving, and each war horse is equipped with a set of modular battlefield logistics carrying devices, which can carry materials to the greatest extent.
The company is also equipped with a number of war horse logistics carrying devices, and the troops have captured a number of mules and horses in Jiexiu County, which are also equipped with this kind of equipment, which greatly increases the materials carried.
There are also a number of standard military two-wheeled carriages, the body is assembled with modular components, assembly and disassembly are very convenient, can be dragged by war horses, can also be pushed and pulled by people, iron ribbed wooden shell body, rubber solid tires, leaf springs, integrated steel axles and other advanced technology, even in modern rural areas are luxury configuration.
These wagons were also strapped to horses and cattle captured by the troops from inside and outside the county of Jiexiu, and then loaded with supplies and transported to the shore of Shengshui in the east of Jiexiu, where a large number of river engine sailing boats and requisitioned boats were parked nearby.
The fleet was loaded with various supplies and would march west along the stream, cross the Fenshui River into Shengshui, and pass through Xiaoyi County into the Luliang Mountains. However, in addition to the Fan family in Jiexiu County, there are many wealthy families, almost all of whom are rich in wealth, and there are countless materials such as grain and cloth. Although the First Brigade of the Shanxi Detachment had made full preparations before the war, there were too many materials, and it was also a rather arduous task to transport them out at once.
Li Ming had no choice but to order Wang Bo to "mobilize" the people in the city from house to house. Let them all come to help the Far Eastern Army deliver supplies, and every strong man who contributes will get a part of the food.
When the people in the city learned the news that they could get food by helping the Far Eastern Army, the entire Jiexiu County was in a sensation. Men, women, and children from all over the city came with their families, from the elderly to the children.
When the Far Eastern Army broke through the city. They are all frightened, after all, this era has suffered from military disasters, worse than droughts and floods, whether it is thieves or officers and soldiers, entering the city is a scourge to death, bandits are like knives, soldiers are like combs, anyway, the last people are the common people.
But this gang of thieves is strange, after entering the city, except for breaking the courtyard of the rich man. and did not plague the people of the city. Although they kicked in the door early in the morning, they only asked them to help with the work, and they promised to give food when they were done.
What is food at this time, that is the root of life. Even if you buy a bag of grain, you may not be able to buy it with silver. And these thieves are quite reasonable, you pick as many things as you want, and when you get to the river, you will decide how much food to give you according to the weight you pick.
This is what the Far East does. It also made the enthusiasm of the people in Jiexiu County instantly high, and everyone gave full play to their various wisdom. Do whatever it takes. There are those who carry them on their shoulders, and those that are carried by a few people. There are even several families who have joined together to make a burden out of wood, and a group of people take turns carrying food, which can transport hundreds of catties of supplies at a time.
A lot of teenage and semi-old kids. The thin one was already skinny, and he even carried dozens of catties of grain and rice bags, walked several kilometers all the way, and delivered the grain to the boat by the river. Even the old man, who couldn't walk fast, was tied with a few pieces of wood. Put a bag of grain and rice, and drag it slowly.
The potential of human beings is unlimited, and after months of starvation, looking at the bags of food, endless power erupts in an instant. Many people finish transporting food once, and when they get it, they simply stuff it into their mouths and eat it while walking, for fear that they will delay the opportunity to transport food because they go home to cook.
Many people outside the city saw the lively scene here, and they also came to see the excitement. When they knew the reason, they all joined in, and one by one they helped the Far East transport supplies as if they were crazy with red eyes.
In addition to the officers and soldiers of the Far East who maintained order, Li Ming, Zhang Yufei, Wang Bo, and all the cadres, soldiers, and militiamen joined the ranks of the army transporting grain.
More than 10,000 people in Jiexiu County have burst out with amazing potential, and everyone who works has received a lot of food, the most capable ones have even been given more than 100 catties, and the worst ones have been distributed to dozens of catties. This year, dozens of catties of grain and bran grass roots can survive for a few months.
In fact, Li Ming's previous plan was also to leave some grain for the people of Jiexiu County, after all, the Far Eastern Army had cleaned up all the grain from the big landlords in Jiexiu, and the grain stores in the city were turned upside down, and even rats did not go in. In the future, the people who will be on leave will not be able to buy it even if they spend money, and the victims will have to leave some surplus food for every family.
But I didn't expect that the opening of the warehouse and the relief was not completed, and in the end, an employment relationship came, so that the people of Jiexiu could get food through labor. But today, inside and outside Jiexiu County, it is still like the New Year, and every household is smoking.
It wasn't until the last boat on the river slowly sailed off the shore with supplies that Li Ming finally breathed a sigh of relief. He wiped the sweat from his face, he was tired today, he had carried a whole day's food, and his waist was almost straight.
He turned around and glanced at Wang Bo, who was also tired enough next to him, and then said with a smile: "Lao Wang, have you gotten all the supplies in Jiexiu County?" ”
Wang Bo rubbed his sore waist and said breathlessly: "Commander, don't worry, the silver warehouses and granaries of the Fan family and other big families have been cleaned by us. The pawnshops, grain stores, shops, and pawn shops on the street have basically been emptied, and our old brothers in overseas brigades may not be able to do other things, but when it comes to scraping the ground, the field division is no match for us.
The biggest harvest this time was silver, followed by grain, and a lot of beans, cloth, salt, tea, iron, and tools were also obtained. Because there are so many things, we just made a rough statistics. If you want detailed figures, you have to go back to the base area and make detailed statistics.
That's right, Commander...... I didn't kill all the people in the Fan family, women and children, I didn't let my brothers do it. I'm also old now, and I can't do it anymore. Nowadays, Lao Tzu also has a lot of children, and I always feel that killing women and children is afraid of retribution, and I want to accumulate some yin virtue for the children. ”
Li Ming glanced at Wang Bo, patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "This is good, as long as we kill Fan Yongdou and those traitors of the Fan family, we will achieve our goal." Lao Wang, remember, if you kill your own people, no matter how much you kill, you can't be considered a hero. (To be continued......)
