Ma San came to Thirty Mile Fort early in the morning of the second day of D+15 to take refuge in the Crossing Crowd, and was arranged to live in the Orange Zone. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info this makes Inukai Kazuo very jealous, he has been working for his masters for more than ten days, and he still lives in a tent next to the prisoner of war camp. Still not trusted enough to live in the fortress known as the Orange Zone. The man with his long braids, who had just taken refuge, was allowed to live in the Orange Zone, and it seemed that he needed to work harder.

When Ma San arrived, the fortifications of the Orange Zone were still being built, and a large number of Japanese prisoners of war were building the fence with timber and full sacks. At this time, there were already more than 600 Japanese prisoners of war in the prisoner of war camp in the crowd, and on the day of D+15, Nogi Noshinori's tentative action added to the prisoner of war camp.

Ma San heard about the defeat of the Japanese army by the group of Thirty Libao in Jinzhou City, but he didn't expect this defeat. This slippery Japanese prisoner of war worked honestly on the construction site, not to mention how fruitful the battle was. Xu Bangdao claimed to have defeated the Japanese in Shimenzi, but who saw that he had caught the living Japanese people? There was not a single one, and even the dead Japanese did not carry back a few, and the Japanese retreated calmly, not really defeated.

What is the origin of these people? It's too tough. There are more than 600 people captured alive, and if this is offered on the 60th birthday of the Queen Mother Lafayette, this has to be changed. Ma San sighed with emotion as he walked with the soldier who gave the order.

In a house converted from a shipping container in the orange zone, Zhao Yiyi is waiting for Ma San's arrival. This will be the headquarters of the Orange Sector from now on, and the envisaged minions will have to meet here in the future. There is no electric underfloor heating, only a rocket stove made of tin sheet and clay for heating.

Zhao Yi comes from a small southern city where the temperature is kept above zero all year round, and now the weather in Liaodong makes him feel choked enough, which will make him marry by the stove.

After the herald reported, Ma San entered the house. As soon as he saw Zhao Yi, he immediately called a thousand people to ask for peace.

"I'm sorry for you, little Ma San will send it after hearing this." Ma San said cautiously, in fact, he didn't even think about what to call Zhao Yi now.

"Yo, here, Ma San, don't be restrained, sit down." Zhao Yi pointed to the chair opposite him and motioned for Ma San to sit down.

"You are tormenting the little one, and the little one does not dare to sit in front of your old man. If you have something to do, you will command, and the little one will stand and reply. "Ma San doesn't dare to hold it up.

"I asked you to come this time, first, I want to ask you something, and second, I want you to help me do something. You don't have to be stressed, it's all things that aren't dangerous. Zhao Yi saw that Ma San was walking on thin ice, and no longer forced him to sit down.

Ma San bowed slightly, bowing his head and listening to Zhao Yi. Such a gesture avoided making one of Zhao, who was sitting and talking to him, feel that he needed to look up at him.

"Ma San, I see that there are many villages near this Thirty Mile Fort and Twenty Mile Fort, but all of them are empty, where have these people gone?" Zhao Yi asked.

"If you say anything back, these people have all been driven to Jinzhou City by the deputy capital of Jinzhou. Lian Shun was worried that after the arrival of the Japanese Yi, he would drive the villagers to lead the way, or be forced to spy on the military situation, and he would have already driven the people on the Fuzhou Avenue to Jinzhou City. Ma San replied respectfully.

"Ridiculous, this Japanese army has already figured out the city defense of Jinzhou City, you look at this map of the Japanese army we captured. Even the artillery positions on the head of Jinzhou City are clearly marked, and they are still used to drive the villagers to be spies? Zhao Yi was also powerless to complain about Lian Shun's white actions in the military. Lian Shun didn't do a good job of secrecy, thinking that the villagers might be driven into spies for the Japanese army, but he didn't think that they could also provide him with information.

"I heard you say, this year's Liaodong flood, there is a shortage of food everywhere in this vicinity, this even drove the villagers into the city, have there been preparations for grain and grass?" Zhao Yi then asked.

"Where is the extra grain and grass, there are more than 2,200 guest soldiers brought by Xu Bangdao, the chief soldier of Zhengding Town. Where did the surplus food come from in Jinzhou City to help these people? Besides, these people are all bannermen who have run away from the customs and Han people who have stolen out of the customs, and it is a fluke if they are not punished, how dare they hope to have help from the government. Ma San replied.

The reparations from the Second Opium War, as well as years of fierce warfare with the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, had drained the Qing Dynasty's treasury. The Qing court could no longer distribute "iron crops" to each banner man on time. After the Qing army entered the customs, it was stipulated that banner men could only join the army or serve as officials, and could not engage in commercial and agricultural production. The Manchurians who did not join the army or serve as officials received a monthly amount of money for their livelihood. This is the so-called "iron crop".

A large number of people who are not engaged in production are idle, lying on the bodies of ordinary people to suck blood. The growing population of the Manchus also increased the financial burden of the Qing court. After the Second Opium War, the overwhelmed Qing court began to cut this expenditure. The Manchurians, who were unable to live because of the dwindling amount of silver, fled their places of origin, concealed their identity as bannermen, and engaged in productive activities to support themselves. This is the flag man who ran away from Ma San's mouth.

And then there is the Han people who went out of the customs without permission, which is the same thing. After the Manchus entered the customs, in order to protect their so-called land of Longxing, they strictly controlled the activities of the Han people leaving the customs to the northeast. However, a few years ago, there were bandits in Shandong and other places, and many people went to the customs outside the border to make a living in order to escape the war. If these people are strictly investigated, they will also be punished.

"Ma San, you see that these people have no relief, and it is not the same thing to be trapped in Jinzhou City. Now the Japanese have also been forced to retreat to the area of Pulandian, and the nearby villages are safe. Let's see if you can think of an idea to let these people go home. As for the food, let's give some relief first. There is a river and a sea outside the city, and it is not just starvation to death, what is it like to be trapped in the city? Zhao Yi said.

This is the result of discussions by the Interim Executive Committee to allow the villagers, who were already living nearby, to return to their homes. Although it is winter and agricultural production is not possible, the sea near Dalian is not frozen, and these people can exchange seafood and crossroads for food. It is also possible to carry out some technical processing work for the crossers, such as wood processing and so on. In short, the traversal wants to have contact with the locals so that they can have a chance to assimilate them.

"If you say anything, this matter is not very easy to do, this is an order from the deputy capital of Jinzhou." Ma San replied with a frown.

For the first time, Zhao Yi had the idea of regretting that he didn't let An Yanxin kill Lian Shun that night, this military idiot is really more than successful. Trapped so many people in Jinzhou City, and did not prepare food for them, this is not burying mines in their own defense. Besides, if you can't hold the city, do you plan to let these people bury you? In fact, it was precisely this move of the Qing army to drive the people into the city that caused the Japanese army to carry out the massacre in Lushun, and many people who were not originally residents of Lushun were innocently killed. The Qing army's so-called move of fortifying the wall and clearing the wilderness is extremely irresponsible.

"Ma San, the solution is thought of by people. I heard that many of Xu Bangdao's subordinates don't have guns. It just so happened that the other day we also handed over some rifles from the Japanese. I also have a good relationship with General Xu, so I can't watch him fight with the Japanese with his soldiers. These rifles, you can find a way to help me give them to General Xu. Let's just say that I am willing to help him in the fight against the Japanese. After Zhao Yi finished speaking, he patted Ma San's shoulder and left.

Although the Provisional Executive Committee made a decision to give Xu Bangdao Gongwei a gun, Zhao Yi didn't intend to give him it for nothing. Xu Bangdao's Gong Guards guarded the three gates of Jinzhou City, and this kind of exchange for some guns in exchange for him acquiescing to the people going out of the city, this transaction Xu Bangdao did not lose anything.

Ma San has been mixed between the three religions and nine streams for a long time, and that is a little clear. Since this Zhao Leader has such a big hand, he feels that this matter is not difficult to do. In these chaotic years, what is the most valuable? Weapons and food, of course. With these hard currencies, it is not a simple matter to make the Gong Guards turn a blind eye.

Ma San didn't understand what Zhao Yi wanted these people who seemed to be only empty of food now, but when others were hoarding weapons, ammunition, grain and grass, they were sending them out, and they must have a big plan.

Don't ask what you shouldn't ask, this is what An Yanxin has reminded a long time ago. Now send someone under the fence, since they are instructed to come down, just do things by yourself. What An Yanxin said was true, and he didn't let him do any broken business, but did these oily errands. It seems that I have voted for the right person.

Since the city wall was bombarded by Zhao Yi that day, and after experiencing the horror of being held hostage at night, Lian Shun sent a horse team to reconnoiter Fuzhou Avenue every day. Of course, the scattered flag soldiers under him only went out of the city for a walk, and then turned back to resume their lives.

After seeing the powerful firepower of the men in Thirty Mile Fort, these horse teams that went out of the city to patrol did not dare to cross the boundary of Twenty Mile Fort without exception. This is much more intimidating than daring to look at the base of the green paint area from afar.

These flag soldiers are afraid that they will accidentally annoy this group of people again, and they will raise troops to come to the door again. I had to bury my head to be an ostrich, and if I couldn't see it, I was safe, and I went back to report to Lian Shun that there was nothing abnormal in the group of people in Thirty Mile Fort.

On this morning, Ma San came to Twenty Mile Fort early, and the patrol team told him that only by waiting at this time could he see the patrolling Qing army horses. Otherwise, he himself would have to go to Jinzhou Avenue to see the horse team of Xu Bangdao's Gong Guard.

Ma San tied the horse under a small tree and let it graze on its own. He lit a cigarette himself and smoked it leisurely. This kind of filter cigarette was given to him by An Yanxin, and the taste is much better than smoking a dry tobacco bag, mellow but not spicy, it is really a good thing. He smoked a cigarette and sat under a small tree, waiting for the arrival of the Qing patrol.

There was a tight sound of horses' hooves in front, and Ma San knew that it was the Qing army's horse team that was about to arrive. He took a hard puff of his cigarette, reluctantly threw away the cigarette butt that was about to burn to the filter, and rode in the direction of Jinzhou City, the king of horses, to meet him.

"Yo, isn't this the third brother of Ma, where did you make a fortune recently? It's really spiritual to look at, and don't forget the brothers. A Qing army banner soldier recognized the man who rode towards them as Ma San.

Even most of the flag soldiers under Shun know Ma San, although he has no official position, but he is good at playing money, often running around the barracks, and many people are familiar with each other. In addition, D+15 didn't save the eldest lady of Thirty Mile Fort in time that day, and Lian Shun's men were not the only ones who died. People are angry, and it is not difficult to kill a river of blood, who do you let stop their cannon that is flying sand and stones in the east of the city, and if you can't stop it, you can only lead the neck to be slaughtered.

Therefore, many flag soldiers felt that they had accepted Ma San's affection, although they knew that he was a deserter and did not plan to do anything to him.

"Ah, look at what you said, it's not that you are rich, but there is a small blessing for you." Ma San said with a grin.
