The officials and gentry were still not at ease, so they asked someone to send a letter to General Tang in Qiongshan, to test whether they could invite them to suppress the bandits.

Liu Jinshi's highly-anticipated attack tactics did not win the support of the general commanders of the brave regiments in the villages. The villagers were not willing to fight, and everyone heard that the villagers of Huangjiazhai were defeated in the case of outnumbering and ambush warfare, and their morale was even lower.

Wu Daling was intimidating and making a wish, but the villagers of each family still didn't want to go, and they also had a thought: this group of people didn't see them rob, kill, and burn houses when they came ashore, even if they wanted to build roads and attack the city, they would also attack the county seat, what did they have to do with it? What if you go to fight yourself, but instead provoke the pirates to retaliate? The villagers' families are all in the countryside, and they can hide in the city no better than the old man. I was forced to go reluctantly, and came back in a circle from afar. As for the head of the regiment in each village, as long as it is not a family property that is not near the county seat, they are not very enthusiastic about it. Xiang Yong is not the same township and the same clan, or he is a long-term tenant of his own family, in case of a war, who will plant it? What Lin Gao lacks is labor, so he doesn't seriously supervise the villagers to fight.

The frequent presence of the villagers along the construction site attracted the attention of the scouts who were dispatched. Because the beach camp had already been formed, the military team did not need too many guards, except for a three-person observation post under the city of Lingao County, and put all the other members into the guards of the road construction site.

Along the road section, lookout towers are built every 3 kilometres, each of which is guarded by lookout posts equipped with high-powered binoculars and walkie-talkies. Underneath the tower are improvised fortifications built by the guard team, with a one-man high earthen wall surrounded by barbed wire, four-wheel drive farm vehicles and motorcycles, and a silicon 2-watt radio station. Motorcycles are used to patrol back and forth between points along the construction site. As soon as an enemy attack is spotted somewhere, reinforcements of fighters are transported using agricultural vehicles as a rapid delivery vehicle.

It is not enough to have fighters, it is also necessary to mobilize the masses. The construction team was issued a batch of SKS rifles and ammunition. 4-5 armed workers are guaranteed at each work site, in addition to one military group guard. In the event of a sudden attack, the operation site can protect itself.

"Once you're attacked, don't run around, report and fire on the spot, understand?" He Ming told the person in charge of each point on the construction site, "The mobile team must arrive within five minutes." If something else is attacked, you just need to report it in time. ”

In this way, the small group of Xiang Yong who came to reconnoiter could not even get close to the construction site during the day, and as soon as they found any suspicious people approaching, they immediately reported it to the construction site headquarters, and the headquarters would dispatch patrolling off-road motorcycles to check it. The guards didn't even have to shoot, and the roar of the motorbikes was enough to make them flee. The team members who drove the motorcycle could even chase a long distance on a whim, until the opponent ran off and fell, and then captured the person back - if it weren't for Bei Wei's fear that he would be ambushed by the enemy, and strictly forbidding them to pursue, he could have caught a few more. The first interrogation was a language barrier, and I couldn't ask anything. used the radio to call Xiong Buyou as a translator, fortunately, Lingao's words have not changed much in the past few hundred years, and after tossing and turning, I finally understood that they were ordered to reconnoitre, in addition to the old eighty old mothers, and eight-year-old young sons and so on, begging for mercy.

From the mouths of the captives, the traversers generally knew that they thought they were building roads, and the county town was already in a panic, preparing them day and night for the siege. The construction of roads can make people fearful, which is a bit of a surprise to the executive committee, it was expected that the city will be somewhat prepared to expel them, and it is obvious that the Ming gentry in the high school are even more afraid of them. This first-hand information gave the Executive Committee a great deal of confidence.

The prisoners were too small to be released altogether, but the Executive Committee saw this as an opportunity to serve as an exercise for the large-scale acceptance of the use of local labour in the future. They were all left behind.

With the sound of the alarm clock, Wu De woke up from his sleep, and looked at the clock, 9 o'clock in the morning.

I didn't go to bed until 4 o'clock in the morning yesterday, and now I can barely open my eyes, but I didn't come to ancient times to take a vacation, but to "beg for a living".

As the commander of the fishing boat detachment, Wu De could have slept on a fishing boat in more favorable conditions, but the military team was now short of manpower, and the personnel of the naval system had to go into battle, so he had to go ashore.

After many years in the army, he was born in a fisherman's family, and although he worked in the city after changing jobs, his rich experience gave him a lot of life experience. The tent set up by the Executive Committee was too small, and the people lived in it were too crowded. So they discussed with the medical team, found a vacant lot in the woods near them and cleaned it up, went to the lumber yard to find about 10 wooden sticks less than 3 meters long, tied it firmly with a rope at one end, propped it up and inserted it into the mud at the other end, put it around with an oilcloth, left an opening in and out, and then covered the outside of the oilcloth with reeds, and the prototype of an Indian-type tent had appeared in front of everyone, and then dug a drainage ditch around it, spread sand and grass ash in the tent, and a decent nest appeared. It's along the river and close to the sea, the environment is good, and you can also watch his four fishing boats by the way.

In order to save fuel, two of the four vessels of the fishing fleet were kept in a state of sortie, and the other two were temporarily mothballed. One is used for fishing, and the fish and shrimp resources on this side of Longhao Bay are very rich, and edible seaweeds such as kelp can also be caught. Wu Nanhai has been running around on fishing boats recently, taking pictures of things he sees and taking a small notebook to record.

The other is used as a backup, with a group of men on board at all times, ready to respond to attacks from the sea.

This one got up and took an aluminum pot and brought a pot of grass and wood ash to the river, rubbed his face, broke the root of the tender willow and bit it as a toothbrush and rubbed his teeth by the way, yesterday he was on night duty and repaired the watchtower, and he didn't use a sleeping bag at night, his body was already sore, his nose was plugged, and his head hurt a little.

You won't catch a cold, will you? An unpleasant thought came to my mind.

Touching his forehead, it seems that there is no heat, but it is fine. Fold a few wicker sticks, peel off the bark, throw it into the mouth and chew it, the willow bark is rich in salicylic acid, although it stimulates the stomach, but it is indeed very effective in dealing with headache and brain fever.

Came to the riverside bath to take off his clothes and went into the water, yesterday I was too tired, I didn't take a bath at all, with the current sanitary conditions, if you don't take a bath frequently, you will get skin diseases. This all-natural open-air bathhouse is another livelihood project completed by the construction team in D+1 - a sand-bottomed bay with very shallow water was selected near the mouth of the river, and the mouth of the bay was hung with an interception net, and then the debris and silt in it were cleaned up, and the river bank was paved with sand dug from the beach. Every day at five or six o'clock, a group of men are naked and messing around. Wu De was on duty in shifts, so he didn't have the opportunity to join in the fun, and it was said that the men's naked baths could enhance their feelings with each other, and they had to take a bath with Commissar Ma and them at any time.

The water was a little cold in the morning, and Wu De couldn't help but shiver. After wetting my body and hair, I washed my hair and body with the soap I brought. After taking a shower, wash your underwear and socks with plant ash - this is a very important hygiene issue! He is reluctant to use more soap, although making soap is not a sophisticated process, but looking at the current chaotic situation, there will be no soap factory put into production in the short term. Wring out your clothes and hang them on a tree next to your tent.

The camp's cafeteria was available 24 hours a day, and he wasn't interested in joining in the fun. Besides, there is nothing worth eating in the canteen, nothing more than some seafood: kelp soup, boiled squid, boiled shellfish, boiled prawns, boiled crab...... Basically all boiled seafood, at the beginning everyone was interested, for the size of the crab also quarreled, even after eating three or four days have a little scared, last night someone cooked a pot of instant noodles, actually attracted many people salivating onlookers - do not eat seafood want to eat instant noodles, it is really this time and that time.

Wu De didn't care about eating seafood for rice, he just despised the guys who cooked in the cafeteria and ruined all the good things. He came straight to a bay outside the camp, and the reef on the shore was densely packed with oysters and barnacles...... Take out a knife, pry off a few dozen after a while, he doesn't take much, these shellfish will die when they leave the water, they will stink, and the stinky guy will eat them, and he will have diarrhea and diarrhea in the dark, even if he lives next to the infirmary, he can't take such a risk. Just sit directly on the reef, divide two by two, pry open the shell, eat all the shell meat and soup, it's so fresh, the breeding guys are too inferior.

Back in the shack, take out the panties from the backpack and get dressed - wear this because there are some women on the beach, or you really want to be naked and dry faster. The water in the thermos cup is gone, and the water is boiled by itself for the past few days, and the condensate from the machine supplied by the pipe from the boat has an indescribable smell, but fortunately some tea leaves can be pressed. A few days ago, the canteen began to supply water, and the 24-hour supply of boiling water boilers is Wude's favorite service, but the bleach in the water tastes a little stronger.

I feel a lot more comfortable making a cup of strong tea in the room - I don't know if I don't produce tea or not, even if I don't produce tea, such a basic crop agriculture group should also consider it, right?

"Zhao Tou, let's have the latest product of our catering office, right?" The leader of the gang brought a piece of black stuff.

"What is this?"

"Smoked fish, this is the finest fish, I smoked it all night yesterday. It tastes good for sure. ”

It was difficult to resist the enthusiasm, so I had to take it. The fish was smoked overnight, the water and oil were almost smoked, the outside was black and flickering, and it was hard to touch, and it looked very terrifying.

The fish looks scary, and the eating is even more terrifying. This so-called smoked fish was smoked directly on the shelf without salting, and the smoked wood didn't know what it was, and it was no different from the willow tree that was chewed just now.

After eating the fish, I poured a few sips of tea before I suppressed the urge to vomit.

"What, it tastes good, doesn't it?"

"Brother, what did you do in the past?" Ude asked with difficulty.

"I, a student of bioengineering, my name is Hu Yicheng." The former lumberjack, who was good at animal dissection, infiltrated the cafeteria and continued to practice his anatomy.
