703 vehicle requisition
and state. Beilou Village, this village is on the edge of an important passage. This is the only way for the northern nomads to attack Jinyang. At the same time, it was also the most marginal part of the northern part controlled by the guerrillas.
"Rest. Let's rest. I can't walk anymore. Old man Shi stopped and said. He had a kitchen knife pinned to his waist, and his weapon was a hoe. There is no way, the Republican guerrillas are expanding too fast. Weapons simply can't be replenished too quickly. Even if the productivity is very high. But the problem is that it can't be transported, and it can't solve the problem.
"Rest. Otherwise, we'll be exhausted. Others said. Many of them are locals. I don't want to be a bandit, but I want to survive. They had no choice but to join the Republican guerrillas, and in fact, most of them did not have a high will to fight. A lot of people live just to take a sip of porridge. Numbness is their current state of mind.
Old Man Shi's stomach was already growling. Breakfast was a porridge. It is also gruel in the evening. Anyway, there is not much difference, and now there are some wild vegetables, put a handful of wild vegetables in a bowl. You can also eat to your heart's content. Anyway, I can't starve to death. Only those elite can eat three meals a day. And it's still dry.
It's a pity that they are not elite, they are just militia. Their armament is poor, and their combat effectiveness is even worse. It is simply difficult for them to let them block. But it was in this situation that they were mobilized. Although I don't know how the above decided, they still have to get involved.
"Buzz." The partisans, who were resting, suddenly heard some of their uneasy voices.
"What sound?" Many people were amazed. They were very uneasy.
"Don't move, don't move while you're lying on your stomach. Don't move while lying on your stomach. Old man Shi said. Because of this time. A lot of people will panic.
"Boom, boom." The voices grew louder and louder, and finally they could see what it was.
"Cavalry. It's cavalry. A lot of cavalry. One of the team members said in surprise. But he was soon covered by Old Man Shi. He was afraid that the cavalry would hear. Actually, they couldn't have heard, because they were moving south. It is not possible to take into account some special situations encountered on both sides. They are going to rob. They hate all sorts of accidents.
"Let's fight." A young man had the audacity to say this. But he himself thought it was incredible. Because his legs were shaking. There are cramps on the face. But he didn't even know how to say such a thing.
"Do you want us all to die?" Old man Shi looked at the young man and said. Disturbance. All kinds of tragedies made Old Man Shi understand one thing, that is, to live, to live at all costs. This kind of desperate thing is not something they can do.
"Nope. I. I'm afraid to die. The young man said. The onslaught of the cavalry was great. The huge feeling of pressure that comes with it makes them feel very bad, and many people don't like it. But such a feeling is difficult for them to maintain.
"Then shut up. Don't speak, we don't see anything. Old man Shi said.
Everyone nodded silently. In their opinion, this is a very good suggestion. At the very least, they are not in danger of their lives. In this way, the guerrillas watched as the Wuhuan cavalry headed south went south. Their weapons and equipment are very poor, coupled with the serious lack of combat effectiveness, it is meaningless for them to intercept those Wuhuan cavalry, or even send them to death, such a situation is too difficult for them. Naturally, they don't want to encounter such a situation, after all, such a thing is too difficult for them.
Hedong. Binh Duong City.
Binh Duong, where the walls were removed, developed rapidly, and handicrafts and small and medium-sized factories were quickly established, thanks to the land annexation, a large number of peasants entered the city, and they worked in the factories for a month to earn their annual land income, and the land, as long as they deposited in the bank, they could get a fixed income. This directly made them give up the idea of farming. Moreover, farming became more and more specialized, and it was very uneconomical for them to cultivate their own land, and there was enough production in the city to feed them.
It's ridiculous to say. Most of the people who entered the factories and handicraft workshops, the first month's wages they received were not deposited in the bank, but they bought a large amount of grain, which was more than two hundred stones, and it took several trucks to transport, and they bought all the month's wages into grain. It was the first time everyone had eaten a full meal. Thanks to the bumper harvest of grain. Food prices are extremely stable, and the prices of various daily necessities in the city are also very cheap. The food was good. Soon, these conditions attracted more people to the city.
The demolition of the walls was sensible. Because everybody agrees that this is a very reasonable outcome. They believed that the walls were holding them back.
Binh Duong, where the city wall was demolished, developed rapidly. They produce some necessities, wool products. Wool felt, wool thread, leather. Leather boots, fabrics, clothes. In addition to this, there are a variety of iron products. Kettles, iron pots, vehicle repairs, and more. In short, this is an extremely prosperous city, orders from Hexi, Bingzhou, Guanzhong, Shangdang areas make the people here keep busy, they like to be busy, they hate to have to sleep and get busy.
Life has changed a lot, everything here used to be loose and comfortable, but now, people are extremely busy. People on the streets are always walking briskly. Especially when it's time to go to work, no one wants to hang out.
The entry of a large number of people has brought about a rapid expansion of the urban area, and many people are building their own small yards or their own houses outside the city. Then they had to run to the city every day, and then they had to make a horse-drawn bus and ox cart to get to the city. Something like a bus costs five cents to get into the city. The car has been specially lengthened. There are people everywhere sitting, and even people are caught on the board of the car, so in a hurry, it can only be like this.
"Damn it. Why are there so few vehicles all at once. Usually there are three cars in a quarter of an hour, but now there is only one. It's really urgent. A worker said anxiously. Those factory owners don't care about these problems, sign in, punch in. Then I worked, and the working hours were very long, more than eight hours, and I was in charge of food at noon. However, the time to go to the toilet is fixed, and those factory owners want you to be producing while you go to the toilet. Because the more he produces, the more he earns, and people are like crazy production, and in their opinion, there is nothing they can't do.
"Damn, damn it, I think we should have run to work. Look at it, there is no room for people in the car. Even pickpocketing is impossible. The other said helplessly. Because they saw the carriage coming. But there are people above, and there are many people on the top, and too few people on the bottom. The car hasn't gone fast yet. It is simply impossible for such a car to get up.
"Why?" The worker asked, puzzled. He really couldn't understand why this was the case.
"Ask the government, look at the newspapers, there is a war going on the front, they have requisitioned most of the wagons." Another worker said. Saying that they have started running. There is no way, they have to go to work on time. I don't know when, a big bell appeared in the center of Binh Duong. The twelve hours were divided into twenty-four hours, and one circle was an hour, and the work was very tiring, but it was also very precise, and there was a large clock in the factory owner's room, like a large cabinet.
"Damn. Really damn it. The worker scolded.
Hedong is mobilizing a large number of horse-drawn carriages to transport them to the north, and many horse-drawn carriages are going. Of course. There were also ox carts, and the carts of earth and stone on the construction site were also collected. All of a sudden, there was a lack of vehicles in the entire east of the river. As for how much was collected, there is no clear official figure, after all, the war is still going on, which is a secret, but most people believe that at least more than 20,000 vehicles have been collected. Because their lives have been severely affected, otherwise, they would not have encountered such difficulties.
The Republican Army is also working very hard to win and annex the state, after all, this is still a difficult opportunity for them.
At the time when Zhou Cang proposed to use a large number of horse-drawn carriages for transportation. Hedong Prefecture quickly collected a large number of vehicles into their hands. It's really not a hard thing for them.
However, at the moment they need to pay attention to the further development of the situation. In this way, they can accomplish more beneficial things.
Lijiazhuang.
"The situation from the front line is very unfavorable, and the guerrillas still do not have the courage to block the southward movement of the cavalry, which is an extremely helpless thing." Jia Xu said this to Shangwu.
"Well, it seems that what the guerrillas lack is a strengthening of the will to fight." Shangwu was not hopeful in the first place. But when he heard such a thing, he still felt very disappointed. In the current situation, he needs to make some many favorable postures, so that he can complete the development of such a favorable thing. In this way, their situation can be placed in an extremely favourable situation.
"That's true, but we can't let them do it, after all, this is what the regular army can do, and the only thing we can do is to quickly mobilize independent divisions. Fight in person, otherwise, we simply can't do such a thing. We can only see the state being destroyed in this way. Jia Xu said helplessly. That's the way it is, and sometimes, you have to admit it. Shang Wu nodded helplessly in agreement.
