It's the beginning of winter. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

On the sixth day of October in the fourteenth year of Chongzhen.

November 8 in the solar calendar.

At the beginning of winter, the crops must be harvested and hidden, and the crops will also enter the overwintering period.

At the beginning of winter, you need to take a tonic to survive the harsh winter.

The cold wind was even colder, but fortunately the weather was good today, and even the sun was out.

About the time, Suining County, Xin'an shop.

The west side of Xin'an shop is the wooden bridge shop, the lame corner shop, the horse shallow shop, and the east side of the past, it is the Yichen shop, the pond shop, the general shop along the river, also known as the middle river shop.

However, at this time, the shops on the official road were empty, the bell was not heard, and the soldiers holding guns were missing.

The local bandit Zhang Fangyu plundered in Suining, and the soldiers fled along the way, waiting for the thieves to pass, and then returned to the shop.

Hu Cheng suddenly closed the door of the house, and scolded: "Ri Nen is in charge, and there is no one." ”

Seeing that the door was slamming and squeaking, as if it was about to fall, Hu Zhiyi said, "Brother, be careful, don't break the shop door." ”

Han Daxia frowned at the house next to him, and once he followed lazily behind, and he also shook his head.

They walked out of the gate, and Chen Qiuao faintly leaned under a big locust tree next to the shop, holding a shield in his hand, as if he was loosely guarding the surrounding situation.

Han Daxia frowned, he raised the leather shield in his hand, which was newly rewarded, and said to Hu Chengxing: "You stay here, I'll go back to Xianggong." ”

He put the leather shield back behind his back, straightened off the double insert and waist knife, and strode back to the official road, not far away, there was a large group of people coming, hundreds of people, men, women and children, carrying and burdening, although it was not chaotic.

There were two people riding on horses in the lead, it was Yang He and Minister Yang.

Hearing Han Daxia's report, Xin Anpu was empty again, and the shop soldiers were scattered, Yang He was not disappointed, he smiled: "It's okay, no one is no one, anyway, it's here." ”

He was in a good mood, and when he arrived at Xin'anpu, as long as he crossed the Yellow River, the opposite side was his destination.

Yesterday they left the official battlefield, all the way to the road, soon arrived at Shuanggou, here is the Lingbi jurisdiction within the river control town, there is the main book of the river management stationed, hundreds of years, early formation of a large polder, Shuanggou shop in the set.

But when they went outside, the polder gate was closed, and no matter how many people shouted outside, the gate would not be opened.

As soon as Zhang Fangyu and the other thieves left, hundreds of people came outside, who knows who it was?

Even if Yang He identified himself, the gatekeeper shirked Guan He, and Zhang Zhuzhu had gone to the north bank to patrol the embankment, and everything would be said when he came back.

Minister Yang and others scolded non-stop, although Yang He was a little disappointed, but he already had a backup plan to prevent all kinds of accidents, so he ordered the group to continue on the road.

Then they entered the horse shallow shop in Suining County, which was empty, and it was obvious that the shop soldiers were hiding from Zhang Fangyu and others, and the same was true when they arrived at the lame shop.

And when I got here, it was almost evening, after all, there had been a long delay on the battlefield, and now winter was coming, and the days were even shorter.

Seeing that the shops were empty, and there were some abandoned houses around, as well as water sources, Yang He ordered to set up camp here and hurry again tomorrow.

Because of the large amount of food and meat obtained, Yanghe held a bonfire party that night, barbecued horse meat, boiled bone broth, and hundreds of men, women and children in the team were all beautiful and feasted.

Not to mention the laughter and laughter of the people in the team, even the new people who joined in were also excited, especially the young and strong women who were robbed.

Some of them were locals from Suining, and Zhang Fangyu broke into their stockades, killed their relatives, and looted them.

Some of them originally planned to return to Suining to see if they could go to their relatives and friends, but the future was unknown, and they were robbed and humiliated by bandits, their innocence was damaged, and they were afraid that people would be terrible, so maybe staying in Yang Xianggong's team was the best choice.

After getting up today, they continued to hurry, passing the wooden bridge shop, and then walked to the boundary of this Xin'anpu land.

At this time, Yang He changed a set of clothes, after all, he fought yesterday, and his clothes were full of blood, and he couldn't change it, that is, the set of purple cocoon silk armor, royal blue soft feet, but the outside was still the dark red cloak, and the collar was surrounded by mink fur, which was warm and luxurious.

He still wears it to warm his ears.

When everyone arrived at Xin'anpu, Minister Yang got off his horse, came to serve Yang He and dismounted, and helped to take down his younger brother and sister Ying'er Qian'er from the back basket.

Today when the sun was out and the temperature had warmed up, he did not turn over the hood of his cloak, but only wore the red hat.

Looking at the procession, although the thick long cloth of each person was wrapped around his neck many times, it was not wrapped from his head.

However, Ying'er Qian'er and other children are still wrapped solidly, their ears, necks, and even their mouths and noses are covered, and only their eyes are exposed.

Yang He took a look around Xin'anpu, which was a typical landform along the Yellow River, with sand and alkali, lakes, and tidal flats, which reminded him of what he saw in Lame Jiaopu last night.

The surrounding area is white, and the wilderness seems to be covered with snow, and it is also a clattering sound when you step on it, like stepping on the frosted ground in winter.

This is a very serious manifestation of salinization, and it takes a lot of effort to become a high-yield cultivated field.

However, Yang He also saw gunpowder everywhere, which was beneficial to his future military industry development.

In addition to the lake, there are more forks in the river here, all kinds of ditches, all kinds of rivers converge, there are reeds everywhere, and there are reed houses everywhere, some are dilapidated, and some seem to be still intact from a distance.

Yang He calculated that this side should belong to Suining Zhaoyi Township at this time, and nearby were Yichen Society, Dacun Society, Qingyang Society and other societies.

A few miles to the east should be Huluwan, and then there is a Xin'an mouth, in the autumn of the second year of Chongzhen, the Yellow River overflowed there, the flood was raging, and the county city wall was washed away.

He looked around, the past two or three miles to the north is still the Yellow River, it seems that there is a small road leading directly to the embankment, there may be a wharf there, after all, the other side of the river is the inspection department, and the security of this area is under their control.

When he arrived here, Yang He was not in a hurry, seeing that there was a well in Xin'anpu and the official road was also spacious, he ordered this side to be a temporary campsite.

There was a lot of noise for a while, everyone was in line, and they were busy in an orderly manner, Zhao Zhong raised them to make a fire, Qi Youxin arranged people to patrol and guard, and the rest either helped or rested.

It is important to ensure the safety of the campsite, and it is necessary to rest well in the wilderness to have enough physical strength.

Therefore, how to assign tasks is very important, and it is also a knowledge.

Obviously, along the way, under the organization of Yang He, everyone has become familiar with it.

Zhao Zhongju and others built a pond to make a fire, and they all carried firewood with them, after all, firewood, grass and dead branches are not available everywhere.

Sun Zhaodi's collection team is no longer collecting for the time being, and they are all helping.

Soon piles of bonfires were lit on the official road, and the raging flames dispelled the chill around them.

The "crackling" sound of firewood, the iron pot and iron kettle are standing, the tea is boiled, and there is some ginger soup for the wounded.

A lot of them have been seized from the bandits and thieves, and now the food team has abundant tools of all kinds, especially many small pots and pots.

Ginger was also given by the Ninth Master, and there was still some left.

Soon, everyone drank the hot tea, drank it in one gulp, and immediately felt the warmth of the lazy whole body.

There was laughter and laughter on the official road, and everyone was standing or squatting and laughing, and the atmosphere was not at all like a fleeing team. (To be continued.) )
