North, Zhending, the area controlled by the Republican Army. There was a long queue here, and the queue was full of young people, of course. There were also women, some women who were reluctant to have children, and had to carry their children on their backs and carry their pitiful salutes. Most of them were dressed in tatters. Most of the salutes are also based on futon, which is full of dust and lice. Many of them are unkempt and have very dark faces. But even so, many people waited with hope to enter the territory of the Republican Army. There, they can get enough food and their own destiny can be changed. Their home is just to the north. But the days are not very good.

I heard that people are dying of starvation in many places. None of them knew how they had come through this year.

"Someone has fallen. Someone fell. Come on people. The patrolling IRA soldiers shouted loudly. They maintained discipline with spears or muskets. Otherwise, it will be a big trouble for a swarm of bees to enter the base area.

The Montenegrin thieves and the republican army had reached a concrete agreement, and they accepted the edict of the imperial court. However, this is only a basic guarantee of a ceasefire, and they are only nominally friendly forces. But how to solve the problem of their balance of power is the key. The power of the Black Mountain Thieves is too weak. They simply could not fight the Republican Army. The only way is to import a large number of firearms, so as to form a kind of confrontation in the weapons, so that their basic situation can be considered balanced. The balance is pathetic, it looks so passive. But there is no way.

The agreement between the IRA and the Montenegrin bandits was that the Montenegrin bandits would exchange muskets for every 1,200 men exported. Bullets are counted separately. The price of artillery is more expensive, and the average export of 20,000 to 25,000 people can get a 4.5-inch caliber gun. Shells are not included.

In order to create a military balance, the Montenegrin thieves went crazy. They transferred a large number of people to the side of the Republican Army, and the preliminary statistics of the population were about 120,000. This includes a lot of people who don't have much value for their labor, such as children and the elderly. Sick people. Of course. The IRA is not a blind dignitary, they have other needs. That is, grain, the average grain, a hundred stone for a musket, the price of artillery is more than three thousand stone. The Montenegrin thieves are also short of food. The only way they can do it is to export a lot of labor. Anyway, in this day and age, human life is far less than food. Countless people starved to death. In this way, a large number of people were driven here. In this regard, the Black Mountain thieves did not care at all.

Actually, a lot of people have heard of things like this, and in order to be able to survive, some people join in halfway, and many people start from various villages, and then they become a small river, and then they become a small river, and then finally they converge into a big river, and the destination is the Republican base area, where there is food, where there is enough food. The Montenegrin thieves deceived them and said that they could live there. The population may not be the 120,000 counted. Probably more, because the population is growing. Food pressure on the part of the Republican Army has become very great.

"How?" The vigilante asked the paramedic who had come running, and the crowd was indifferent. They slowly moved forward in a line.

"Hungry, very weak, can you survive, pour a sip of rice soup and see, if you can't slow down, there is really no way." The medic said helplessly.

"Come over two and carry him away." The soldier shouted. But a group of people doesn't matter at all, they've seen too many deaths. They know that if such a person falls, there is basically no way to live. But it's good that they won't survive. They just had the opportunity, and that's what they thought. This is the indifference of human feelings.

"Damn, if you don't lift it. Lao Tzu makes it difficult for you to get by. The soldier shouted. The crowd looked up.

"Carry it over, and you don't have to queue up. Hurry up. The soldier shouted loudly, and just as he had finished shouting, more than a dozen people carried the man to the pass. The soldier shook his head helplessly. That's human nature. There are a lot of things like this, because they have no food, and many people come here eating grass roots and tree bark, but there are too many people here. A lot of people have been waiting for more than three days. It was only a small distance forward, and many people died while waiting. The only thing the IRA could do was provide some hot paste, so that a little food would only cover their caloric needs.

Lijiazhuang. War Department.

"The Black Mountain thieves moved quickly, they gathered more than 120,000 people at once, originally we were prepared to accept 80,000 people, but even so, we didn't do too well." Jia Xu said with a telegram from the north. Shang Wu listened to Jia Xu's report. In order to avoid spreading more plagues, diseases, and social order to the base area. Shangwu demanded that when they entered, they must be accepted by a unit. At the same time, it is necessary to make unified arrangements for them.

For example, bathing, disinfection. The salutes they bringed. All but the valuable things were burned in one fell swoop, and lice and rats often roamed around them. Only in this way can large-scale outbreaks of plague be avoided. This is the best way to stop the plague. There is no other way for Shang Wu to do this. Because of the plague, the situation will be very bad.

As a result, the population entering the base area was much slower all of a sudden, and a large number of people were blocked there, because many people had to take a bath. They had to be disinfected, and the government had to provide them with some clothes and issue a series of documents. These things greatly prevented those people from entering the IRA base areas. This is extremely disadvantageous. In such a situation, how can they get their situation better. The only way for Shang Wu to do so is to find more opportunities to solve such a problem.

"Simplifying some procedures, however, such a thing as disinfection must not stop, in this way, it is possible to organize some people and recruit them for such activities. At the same time, improve the practice and let them organize themselves internally, and arrange the detachment with 100 people in a team. In this case, it can be guaranteed. In addition, I think the document link can be canceled. Let them into the base area and make changes. Shang Wu said.

"Hmm. I'll do all these things. However, this dress thing. Jia Xu said worriedly. You know, the arsenal of the Republican Army is also in such a situation. The number of their orders is too large. For a while, some of their needs were met.

"In this way, some old clothes are taken from the market and disinfected in a unified manner. That's right. It is necessary to tell them in a concentrated way that they must abide by all the rules and regulations of the base area and that they must not defecate or defecate at will. Shang Wu said. Jia Xu quickly recorded it. These things are what they deserve the most attention to.

"Things, I think that's it, there are others, we can supplement through other aspects, in short, such a thing, we must solve it. We can't let this affect our progress. This kind of thing has to be fast. Resolve it as soon as possible. Shang Wu said.

Jia Xu nodded. Agree, specific things they will do better.

"I think the exercise will be postponed for the time being, and some of the military rations will be taken out, and a brigade will be dispatched to maintain law and order. Or join two infantry regiments. We can't let them starve to death at our doorstep. In that case, we're not doing well. In a word. Shang Wu exhaled and said.

"We can't let starvation happen again. In that case, we're not in a good situation. Shang Wu said.

Jia Xu recorded it and nodded, agreeing. This situation is too bad for them. But the martial approach has solved a big problem.

Baili, the headquarters of the Red Lady is set here, very bold. But note that she is an extremely courageous person, because the headquarters is set up here, and she can control the situation at any time. Keep the situation under her control.

"What about the more than 500 cavalry who came in?" The red lady looked at the map. She had just returned from a front-line inspection, and with the help of artillery, they were advancing very quickly, and the casualties were much less at once. This is a good thing, in the opinion of the red lady, the final battle still has to be solved by weapons such as cannons. They carried out flat fire with cannons. in two hundred steps. This is outside the archer's maximum range. They are capable of throwing one hundred and fifty steps. But want to shoot up to two hundred paces. It's basically a matter of luck. If you want to shoot. Their luck is too good. It's so good that they don't even think it's possible.

The Huns' cavalry could not be used, but the Republican artillery could roar violently.

Normally, if one cannon goes down, four or five Huns will be killed at once, and if the Huns are concentrated, it is possible to kill a dozen or so. Because such a thing is a very easy thing for artillerymen. Because the Huns had no way to threaten them, when they attacked, they would be killed by the infantry. For a time, the battle was one-sided, and if this situation continued, the Huns would be completely wiped out.

"Sir, come and see, counting the more than 300 cavalry we killed before, the more than 500 cavalry we entered today, and the more than 300 cavalry that entered before, we killed more than half of them, so that we killed more than 700 people at once." Zhang Xian said excitedly. The battle went very well.

"In that case, the mission is done." The red lady said excitedly.

"Yes, our mission is accomplished." Zhang Xian said excitedly.
