Chapter 479 is not allowed to be courteous anywhere

"So?"

Hearing Xia Bomin say this, Lin Xiao understood, frowned and said, "So, the root of the problem is in these ground snakes?" ”

"Yes,"

Li Tao nodded and said, "These people are not much better than Tartars, and the Zhuang Ding they raise is probably half a citizen and half a bandit...... During the day, they patrol and protect the village, and at night, they go out to block the road and rob, seek money and kill people. ”

"Hmmm......"

Lin Xiao nodded and said thoughtfully, "In this way, our land reform work is not just as simple as dividing the fields and dividing the land. ”

"Yes,"

Li Tao agreed, "If we do not eradicate these private armed forces first, the land reform work itself will not be able to carry out smoothly." ”

"I now understand why your troops have all been dragged around the counties,"

Lin Xiao looked at Xia Bomin and sighed, "It seems that our troops are not too much, but far from enough. ”

"It's not like that,"

Xia Bomin climbed up the pole, "A county only sends one platoon of troops, and it is not used at all, it is only enough to barely control the county ......"

"Hmm,"

Lin Xiao frowned, raised his hand and said, "Let's go, let's talk while we go." ”

The group got off the Jindai Bridge and continued to walk forward.

"Old man,"

After not taking a few steps, Li Tao slowed down and said, "I plan to open more night schools and shorten the training schedule for cadres, you see......"

"Okay, I agree,"

Lin Xiao agreed, "This matter really can't be delayed, we have to race against time, hurry up and send an armed team to the vast countryside, the sooner the better......"

"Well, send them down as soon as possible, while suppressing bandits, while land reform,"

Li Tao waved his hand vigorously and said, "The autumn harvest will be in a few months, and at that time, many people will jump over the wall in a hurry." ”

"Yes, mobilize the real poor peasants as soon as possible, establish their own grassroots political power and armed forces, and do not give them a chance to fish in troubled waters......

After a little mover, Lin Xiao turned his head to look at Xia Bomin and asked, "Do you want to think of a way, can you speed up the training of recruits, leave more troops for Lao Li, and set up the second-line military region as soon as possible?" ”

"Okay,"

Xia Bomin nodded and agreed, "I'll revise the training plan when I go back, increase the intensity, and shorten the time." ”

"Thanks, old man,"

Seeing this, Li Tao smiled and said, "Otherwise, when the main force is gone, without leaving a strong army, these people will soon resurrect and try their best to fight back......"

"Don't be in a hurry to praise me,"

Lin Xiao shook his head and frowned, "Whether it's the martial arts team or the local military region, no matter how fast it is, it's not a blink of an eye...... What now? ”

After speaking, he looked at Xia Bomin again and asked:

"Xiao Xia, look, can you send some teams to strengthen the night patrol of the official roads outside the city, and protect the safety of the trade routes first?"

"This ......"

Xia Bomin hesitated for a moment, then nodded, "Okay, I want to find a way." ”

"Don't be embarrassed for him, this thing, one word, difficult!"

Li Tao shook his head and interjected, "With the few people he has on hand, it is not easy to manage so many cities." ”

"Forehead ......"

"I'm not exaggerating,"

Li Tao hurriedly said, "You can go and see for yourself, there are still a few soldiers left in his barracks...... A thousand people are smaller, except for the instructors of the recruit regiment, all of them are scattered. ”

"What? All out? ”

"What do you think?"

Li Tao pursed his lips and said with his fingers, "In addition to security patrols, reassuring refugees, publicity, evacuation, registration, raising food, distribution, and even organizing people to sweep the streets, build thatched houses, and dig up dung, a lot of things ......."

"Digging up?"

Lin Xiao was surprised.

"Didn't expect that, did you?"

Li Tao shook his head and said with a wry smile, "Let's take this city as an example, under the appearance of prosperity, there are many problems......

"Huh?"

Lin Xiao raised his eyes and looked around, isn't it good?

"Don't talk about anything else, let's just talk about hygiene, it's so bad that it can't be tolerated,"

Speaking of this, Li Tao's tone was slightly excited, "More than 100,000 refugees gather in all corners, wander around during the day, and barely fill their stomachs with soup soup every day, but, you know...... How do they excrete? ”

"Forehead ......"

Lin Xiao laughed, speechless for a while.

What else can people who have fled do? Of course, it is impossible to bring your own toilet.

"Got it?"

As he spoke, Li Tao pulled Lin Xiao and walked a few steps forward, came to a low thatched house next to the avenue, pointed to a banner there, and said, "Look, what is written?" ”

"No ...... anywhere Out of Gong? ”

Looking at this half-literate and half-white slogan, Lin Xiao endured a foul smell and subconsciously read it, "This is, your propaganda slogan?" ”

"I wanted to write about urinating,"

Li Tao smiled bitterly and said helplessly, "I'm also being forced to be in a hurry, I can't do it...... Hundreds of such simple thatched huts have been built, and people have to be sent to dig up manure the next day. ”

"So?"

Lin Xiao wrinkled his nose and said confusedly, "I remember that at the beginning, we were in Qinzhou and Guangzhou, and we were not embarrassed to this point......

"It was winter, and now it's summer, my old man,"

Li Tao shook his hand and said, "Moreover, when we arrived in Qinzhou, the government had not completely collapsed, so naturally someone was in charge, and in Guangzhou, you have to thank Lord Lianchengbi." ”

"Uh...... Also. ”

Lin Xiao grinned awkwardly.

Indeed, at the beginning of Guangzhou, thanks to Lian Chengbi, a capable minister.

As soon as the army broke through the city, he entered the city with the team of the mission office, arranged manpower as soon as possible, and carried out all the work in an orderly manner.

Lin Xiao remembered that he was still in line with the principle of employing people without suspicion, and did not ask about specific matters in civil affairs, but now that he thinks about it, he is really a little ashamed.

Lin Xiao still remembers that he and Ling'er still went to the street to watch plays and eat, although the city is dilapidated and there are many refugees, the order everywhere is very good, and the streets are quite clean and tidy......

"When we came, the Qing army had been running for several days, and the whole city was in chaos, and there was a stench everywhere,"

Li Tao glanced at Xia Bomin, and then said, "Xiao Xia arranged for you to stay by the lake, it was also a lot of painstaking work, he didn't care about you, he was afraid that you would get sick......

"This ......"

Lin Xiao turned his head to look at him, didn't he say just now, is this your idea?

"On the streets, next to the market, there is dung everywhere, and after a rain, flies and mosquitoes are flying all over the sky......

Li Tao ignored him, and continued, "I made this decision because I was worried that if the plague came out, it would be troublesome." ”

"Oh yes,"

At the mention of the plague, Lin Xiao suddenly became serious and sighed, "It's me who thinks too much about the work of the city. ”

In this era, plague is rampant, not without reason.

The weakened immunity of the people who lack food and clothing is one reason, but the general lack of hygiene knowledge and good living habits is also a risk factor that cannot be ignored.

Thinking of this, Lin Xiao's face was solemn, and his heart sank suddenly.

If something goes on like this, if something happens and the plague sweeps in, how can such a densely populated city withstand it?
