Chapter 391: Shock
After Yang Xiaoshi, who was in Nanchang City, got the report of the second company commander, he also fell into contemplation; This country, this nation, has lost so much because of the aggression of Japanese militarism; This should not be the only one who became a refugee because of the war, nor the last; Many people will die in the turmoil and displacement, just like them; And this group of people is also the most worthy of the help of these brothers, because they are not willing to survive under the butcher's knife of the devil, they are not willing to become the "obedient people" of the devil, they are a group of people with national consciousness!
"Let the brothers find out, how long have they been here? How did you get to this place? How did you survive here? Where have all the young people in the family gone? Yang Xiaoshi commanded,
"Yes, sir!" This company commander was appointed on a temporary basis, and hurriedly ran to make arrangements;
"Steward Lin, get a few pots and some food! Make them some porridge first! They are all miserable people! Yang Xiaoshi said to Lin Laoer,
"I'll arrange it, and I'll be there in five minutes at most!" Lin Lao Er drove away, and now Nanchang's grain control is very strict; The He family's grain storage in Nanchang, in addition to the fixed daily consumption, every catty of grain used must be approved by Lin Laoer, which was ordered by the master before leaving; Of course, this does not include He Jianye's use.
This year's rice harvest season is underway, but farmers don't have much food at their disposal; In addition to the high rent to be handed over to the landlords, there is not much left after deducting the additional levies of the government for the anti-Japanese war, and they have to keep their own rations, so there are basically no peasants selling grain in the market; As the largest landlord in Qingjiang, Luofang, and Xingan, the He family has a lot of land, but the He family has more people to take care of; The output is not as large as the expenditure, and it has to rely on overseas grain purchases to support consumption.
In the square of the Nanchang Garrison Headquarters, several large cauldrons were set up, bags of rice were opened, poured into the pot and gruel was boiled; The strong aroma seduced all the old people and children in the simple wooden house, and the conversation between the soldiers and the old people gradually became smoother; Seeing the gruel, the old people finally felt that these armies seemed to be different from the past!
"Sir, the basic situation is clear! These refugees are all from the vicinity of Nanchang, and the young and strong men in their families have been pulled by the government and died on the battlefield; Under the persecution of the Yang Gang and the Local Gang, the young women were arrested and taken into prostitution. The voice of the second company commander was angry and unwilling;
"Why don't they seek redress from the government?" Yang Xiaoshi asked,
"Sir, you know; It doesn't matter if the family of the arrested strong man is all right, there are a few officials who are willing to offend the big guy! Behind these gangs are government bosses! "Because of his cleverness, the second company commander took his family to Nanchang with difficulty because he knew a few words when he fled, otherwise he would not have been temporarily appointed as the company commander;
"Cook their porridge thicker, and decide when the commander arrives!" Yang Xiaoshi doesn't know what to do now, they are all brothers and families who fought to the death for the country!
He Jianye rode a horse with a few guards to the station of the Nanchang Garrison Headquarters while the refugees were drinking porridge; Looking at the scene inside, if he hadn't seen Yang Xiaoshi, He Jianye would have thought that he had gone to the wrong place!
"What's going on?" He Jianye frowned and asked,
"Commander, that's right;" Yang Xiaoshi began to tell He Jianye about the situation;
"Damn, this piece of garbage; If you treat your brothers' families like this, you will not be afraid of retribution!" He Jianye cursed,
"Commander, what should we do now?" Yang Xiaoshi asked,
"What to do? They are all the families of the brothers who died in battle, and perhaps the families of my brothers in the 16th Regiment are among them. Count the number of people who built new houses for them on the periphery of the area; Just around the garrison headquarters; From today onwards, each person will have two meals a day, a bowl of porridge and a multigrain cake; Make sure they stay alive first! He Jianye said,
"Commander, but I'm afraid that it will get out; There will be more and more refugees! Yang Xiaoshi said,
"Send it to Chaowangzhou outside the city! Let them help with some cleaning work, and let the old king of the cooking class take care of them; This will also give the brothers peace of mind to train! He Jianye said,
"Also, tell Lenzaki; These people must be taken care of, I am useful! He Jianye then reminded,
"Yes, Commander; I'll arrange it! Yang Xiaoshi let out a sigh of relief, so that the work could finally continue!
At 12 o'clock at noon, the well-fed and infirm refugees with their children, led by dozens of soldiers, sat on a cart and took a little thing that could be used; I left here with apprehension and headed all the way to Chaowangzhou......
"Immediately get the recruiting table and the notice, and the people are almost there!" He Jianye ordered,
"Sir, there is no house here that can be used; It's all the kind of simple wooden houses, and it is estimated that more than half of them can collapse in one snow! If you want to repair the house, I'm afraid you won't be able to build a brick and wood structure in a short time! As for steel and cement, you can't get steel now! Lin Lao Er reported,
He Jianye also knew that although he had a steel mill in his hands, it was very difficult to ensure the production of the military factory, and it was impossible to transfer steel to repair his own house, and the house here could not be used; Sad!
"Let the brothers go up to the mountains and cut down the trees, all with wood. First of all, the residence of the garrison troops of the garrison headquarters was solved, and as for the headquarters building, the wall was built with straw and yellow mud! Use it first! He Jianye said,
"Ahh Lin Lao Er and Yang Xiaoshi's faces were full of incredulity, they were a city defense headquarters! Do you want to be so shabby?
He Jianye ignored them, and only he knew the suffering in his heart; The Japanese devils have now hit Jiujiang, and he, a person who travels with memories, has not been able to change this ending; According to normal development, the devils should soon occupy Wuhan; Next is Nanchang, whether Nanchang can keep it in his heart has no confidence at all; No matter how strong and beautiful the house is, it will become a victim of the devil's heavy artillery and planes, so let's settle it now! All materials and resources must be poured into the army, and only when the devils are stopped on the battlefield can they have the slightest qualification to talk about other ......
Around the Nanchang Garrison Command, there has always been the eyeline of some governments; is staring at He Jianye's every move, just see how he recruits soldiers in Nanchang; The shortage is 7,000, not 700; In the vicinity of Nanchang City, except for the ruffians and hooligans and those who have family connections, the rest of the strong men who can be caught have been almost arrested by them; The rest of the strong men either fled or became "tenant farmers" in the families of rich and powerful landlords and capitalists......
