Chapter 138: Exhaustion

"Don't be so polite. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info "When Mao Youjun got on the horse, Huang Yucheng said to these craftsmen: "We Hutchison values craftsmen very much, you should know this, but Dongjiang also pays attention to craftsmen, so it is also rare for us to take Dongjiang's craftsmen away, this time it is General Mao who owes me a favor, so it was a coincidence." When you go to the 12th regiment, the treatment will be very good, and life will be better than here, do things well, don't waste my thoughts. ”

Pan Zhihou kowtowed again and again and agreed, these craftsmen are illiterate, and most of the people who usually deal with them are people who are clumsy in words, they don't know how to say beautiful words at all, and even ordinary entertainment words are not good at speaking, at this time, they can only kowtow desperately to show their respect and response to Huang Yucheng.

"The old fairy hurry up, what are you talking about these people." Mao Youjun urged immediately: "My son is very important." ”

Huang Yucheng smiled, although he was sure in his heart, he didn't dare to slack off in the slightest, Mao Youjun was a well-known murderer among the generals of the Dongjiang River, and his status in Mao Wenlong's heart was quite heavy, only under Mao Chenglu and others, otherwise Mao Youjun would not be qualified to decide what punishment to use on these craftsmen. If Mao Youjun's son can't be cured, and this fierce man can't be killed, even if he has Hutchison's battleship as a backing, he can't guarantee that this person will have a seizure on the spot.

Huang Yucheng also turned over at the moment, and his movements were skillful and sophisticated, which won Mao Youjun's applause.

The two of them and the guards were about to ride their horses to Mao Youjun's residence, when Hutchison's people heard the news, they had already rushed over, led by several medical officers, with a medicine box for treating external injuries and muslin for bandaging.

This efficiency and emphasis on craftsmen immediately stunned everyone.

Even Lao Pan and other craftsmen were stunned, they were born in southern Liaoning, grew up in southern Liaoning, and now they are in Dongjiang Phi Island, once upon a time have seen someone so attentive and attached importance to craftsmen?

A group of soldiers were all in a daze with military sticks, and some of them were dripping with water, because the people of Hutchison not only brought medical kits, stretchers and carts, but also rushed over with a lot of food, which seemed to be just hot, exuding a burst of meaty fragrance.

The whole crowd was in a commotion, and there were many people who had doubts when Hutchison recruited people, and many people refused the temptation to eat because of their homeland, and the relationship between Hutchison and Dongjiang was awkward recently, and the difficulty of recruiting people increased exponentially, and another reason was that last year's financial difficulties affected the conscription and recruitment of immigrants on Phi Island, and a battalion of recruits was sent away in a year, and the families of the recruits were replenished with the 12th regiment, and thousands of peasant soldiers and their families were also brought to the Kuandian area to pioneer. There are still a considerable number of people in Dongjiang who don't know Hutchison's family background and ways of doing things, of course they have heard of it, but when everything is presented in front of them, the impact on people is quite large......

Mao Youjun also took the horse and frowned for a while.

He said to Huang Yucheng: "Why do you and Yusheng attach so much importance to craftsmen? ”

Huang Yucheng said: "It's not that we value craftsmen, it's that we value people who have skills." Whether it's a craftsman or a doctor, aren't they all a skill? Soldiers kill the enemy, farmers farm, doctors treat diseases, craftsmen build armor and weapons, and merchants circulate to make money, all of which have their own specializations. We are based on the scarcity of different occupations to determine the salary, like a good craftsman is more difficult to find, so we are paid a higher salary, our Li Zhuang craftsman leader, the salary is much higher than mine. ”

"So to speak." Mao Youjun suddenly laughed: "Those scholars who can only read, even if they are promoted to scholars, their status is not very high in your place." ”

Huang Yucheng smiled and didn't answer, he himself is also a talent, and he doesn't think that scholars are useless, but readers are definitely not as high as they have in Daming in the Hutchison system, which is also an irrefutable fact, if you want to explain the difference, I'm afraid you have to talk to Mao Youjun for three days and three nights...... In terms of Mao Youjun's cultural level, Huang Yucheng suspects that he may not be able to explain it clearly for ten days, since he can't say it clearly, it is better not to say it.

Fortunately, Mao Youjun didn't ask, he had been delayed for a while, thinking that his beloved son was still sick and suffering at home, Mao Youjun unconsciously urged Huang Yucheng to come, and the two rode side by side, and more than a dozen guards rushed towards Mao Youjun's home on the island.

……

Li Fang slowly climbed up the not too steep cliff.

There are some snow up and down the cliffs that have not melted, the adults are green trees and white snow mixed together, there are cliffs everywhere, valleys, narrow mountain stream paths, as far as the eye can see, the mountains are stacked, the mountains are stacked at a glance, there are green and white mixed scenery everywhere, the mountains are all dense forests, even in later generations, the forest coverage rate of Kuandian County is quite high, the scenery is quite outstanding, at this time this area is not like the later generations to live hundreds of thousands of people, there are not many people in a radius of 100 milesIn between the march of more than 40 fugitives led by Li Fang to the base of the 12th Regiment, he would always look at the surrounding scenery and feel the beauty of this scenery.

It's just that it's not good enough at night, everyone has to start searching for dry firewood, at this time the night is still below zero, the mountain wind is cold, if there is no fire, these hungry and cold people will freeze to death, and the other is that the beast roars endlessly at night, at this time there are quite a lot of wild Siberian tigers in Kuandian, but it is not like the news that the future generations will encounter one, although there are more than 40 people in this team, but if they break into the hunting area of the tiger, they may not be bitten to death, Li Fang is only wearing a layer of chain mail, There are no partners around who have never believed, only seven or eight Liaomin men, holding sharpened long wooden sticks in their hands, and they have not experienced any training, but they have a bloody and brave spirit, but they may not be able to rely on things when they really encounter them.

The first is to keep warm, and the other is to drive away wild beasts, tigers, bears, blind people, and leopard lynx are all dangerous, but fortunately there are no poisonous snakes yet.

Living in the mountains is definitely not a good thing in this era, the endless beasts and various poisons will make humans want to die in the summer, and the poor human beings have to flee those developed areas and continue to march into the unknown.

From the bottom of the cliff to the top is to find the road, the Kuandian area, that is, the Kuandian County in later generations, has more than 6,000 square kilometers, equal to the size of five or six counties in the interior, the territory is the junction of the Changbai Mountain Range and the Qianshan Mountain Range, 85 percent of the mountainous and hilly areas, 15 percent of the mountain valleys and river areas, the average altitude is 400 meters, that is to say, this is a pure mountainous area of nine mountains, half water and half fields, at this time, than the terrain of southwest China and northern Shaanxi is more unsuitable for human survival. Li Fang and the others are constantly climbing over the mountains, entering the low valley and forest area, and then climbing up the valley, and so on.

Here, people have been walking for four days, many women and children can't keep up with the team, before this they performed very well, each of them gritted their teeth to keep up with the team, because Li Fang has words in the election, no matter what is left behind, the team will not slow down and will not stop, in such a lofty mountain and mountainous area, these old women, women and children are also as far as possible to follow the team, although the speed of the men is not very fast, but it is also quite difficult for women, children, old and young.

Every night it was the men who took the initiative to make fires and so on, so that the women and children could rest and fall asleep early by the fire.

After more than four days, people's psychology became more and more anxious, and it was more and more difficult for women and children to keep up with the team, and the dry food they brought with them had already been eaten, and the men with their families tried their best to save food for women and children, and it was difficult for those bachelors to do so, and they could not be harsh, in such an environment, people just wanted to ensure their own survival first, and no one could ask others to give up their life-saving food.

The atmosphere is very depressing, people can't help but think about their relatives who died in their hometowns, thinking about the Jurchen cavalry with that little pigtail, wielding butcher knives everywhere and killing indiscriminately, thinking about those people who desperately ran out and died on the road, at this time, they already have deep doubts about whether they can get out of the mountains alive, and they don't have much hope for life after walking out of the mountains, after all, this soldier surnamed Li said that their base is in the mountains, and the tunken is also in the mountains. The people who have come out of the mountains are already feeling hopeless about the days ahead.

The short-bearded man sat on the ground and said in despair: "I knew that it was better to be killed by Jianyu." ”

"yes." The yellow-faced man was also thin and out of shape, but he turned his head to look at the women and children around him, and changed his words: "It's better to die than to live, as long as you come out and live, you will earn it." Not for myself, but also for my wife and children. ”

"Fuck." The leopard-eyed man touched the back of his head and said: "I shaved my hair in order to survive, and I kept this pinch of dog tails, and when I got there, everyone was full of good men who didn't shave their hair, and I fucking looked like a woman, and there was really no place to put this face." ”

Everyone was stunned for a moment, but they didn't expect this person to think about such things at such a time.

However, with such a reminder, the faces of many men also became ugly.

They are all bloody Liaodong men, but some people are very resolute, and they will leave as soon as something is wrong. And some people wait for things to change according to the inertia of life, and leave when they deteriorate step by step to the point that they can't survive, and in the middle of a period of time, there are also humiliation and unwillingness, but in order to survive, some people still choose to endure humiliation.

Now that he has escaped, he has all beards and tails, and he is also a seven-foot-tall man, so he has a dog's tail.

The yellow-faced man said, "I have a knife on me, and I shaved my hair first when I want to see someone." ”

"That's good."

"This brother will also lend me when the time comes."

Not only did the two men around him want to borrow, but the tired men around him were all cheered up.

"Let's live." The spirit of the short-bearded man has fallen to the bottom, and it is strange to say that the more men who are not involved in the family, the easier it is to give up early in adversity, and the men who are involved in the family, although they are tired to death, their spirits are all good, and there is no man who is a man who is a top family and shows his weak side in front of his wife and children.
