Chapter 183: The Miao People's Uprising (6) -- Eat Enough

Because before them, all the righteous people had crossed the Red Water River. So the rebels did not delay www.biquge.info and rushed to the other side of the river that night.

Then, under Xu Lan's arrangement, the rebels distributed the Qing army camp tents brought back. The righteous people don't have to sleep in the wilderness anymore. It's just that there are a lot of people, and there are too few tents. So that in one tent, three or four hundred people were crowded.

And these are women and children. Those young strong men are still making do in the wild.

After the arrangement, Xu Lan specially ordered again. In order to celebrate the victory of the counterattack against the Qing army, it was decided to let all the soldiers and civilians have a big meal. This news immediately drew cheers from all the military and civilians. Those righteous people who looked numb also showed a rare excitement on their faces.

So early in the morning, a pot of steaming rice was steamed, and the sticky gruel was beaten in a big bowl for each person. Paired with fist-sized steamed buns, the food is satisfying. The bottom of the bowl was added clean.

In the afternoon, the steamed corn cobs are golden and fragrant. Two sticks per person, regardless of gender, old and young. Let some people with many children smile from ear to ear. Because children can't eat so much, the rest can be saved for the next meal.

Accompanied by a three-fresh broth mixed with snake meat, mutton, and beef, there is at least one piece of meat in each bowl. At this time, many righteous people began to get close to the master in charge. Let it be sure to beat the fat, not the bones.

But this is not possible. There are so many bones in the soup, and they will always be beaten to others carelessly. So Xu Lan asked the masters in charge to give an extra piece of meat when beating the bones.

This caused many people to change their tone and shout for bones.

Those righteous people who joined the army had no such worries at all. I ate dry rice, steamed buns, corn on the cob, and broth in double portions. Only let them eat eight points full.

In these days of going south, everyone can't eat enough, sleep well, and sleep in the open, and it's the first time that they have eaten so well. The women who were a little frugal were reluctant to eat and kept the next meal.

People who have not experienced hunger will never appreciate the benefits of being full.

So after people finish eating, they smash their mouths. The white teeth are exposed, and the dark face is in stark contrast.

Then everyone gathered around the bonfire, singing and dancing. Zhuang Min has always liked to sing mountain songs, and he sings well. Didn't there be a third sister Liu in later generations? And although Miao Min's singing voice is not so famous, it is not bad. Open your throat and it's loud. There are also some Han people, Maonan people, Tujia people, and Yao people, all of whom have joined in.

Although there was no good wine to cheer up, everyone was in high spirits. Dancing and singing. The sadness and fatigue along the way are turned into intoxicating and inspiring music. It's also that the spirit is too tense along the way, and as soon as it relaxes, many people become a little crazy.

It's just that most of the rebels are not involved, they are guarding the area around the camp, always on the alert, and guarding the safety of everyone.

Looking at everyone's happy appearance, the corners of Xu Lan's eyes were a little sour. He is not actually an agent of the Intelligence Department, but like Liao Qing and the others, he is one of the officials responsible for the operation of the Intelligence Department.

Within the Intelligence Division, in addition to the Director and Deputy Director, it is divided into six divisional divisions. They are the three internal affairs offices in charge of intelligence gathering, statistics, and analysis, and the three foreign affairs offices that are responsible for agent training, task assignment, and special service. He was the Chief of the Special Service.

The so-called special service is actually the identity of a firefighter. Wherever there is a shortage of people, or in a short period of time, the workload is very large, and there is a shortage of manpower, so people from the special service and special commission will be sent to replace them temporarily. It is also nicknamed 'Erte' within the Intelligence Division.

In normal times, the role of 'Erte' is not obvious. But at the critical moment, the 'second special' is reflected. To paraphrase a joke, 'Erte' is a brick that can be moved wherever it is needed.

No, Miao Min's southward movement is a major event, and Daming also attaches great importance to it. However, manpower was tight, so he let him, the director of the 'Second Special Division', go out in person. After contacting Jiang Xia and explaining the next task, he transformed himself into an envoy of the White Lotus Sect, and his status was below Jiang Xia.

The identities of people who come out of the intelligence department are always diverse and ever-changing, and he doesn't care about the difference in status in this short period of time.

To be honest, as soon as he received this task, he still felt a sense of accomplishment. Because no matter how you say it, he feels like a savior, like a hero admired by all people, leading people who are in trouble to the light.

But after actually taking over Miao Min's southward journey, he found that the savior was not so easy to be a savior, and the hero was not so easy to be accepted and admired. In particular, the difficult living conditions of the Qing Kingdom simply refreshed his lower limit. Originally, he also thought that when he first came to Australia, he had already had a hard enough time. But after being with these righteous people, I realized that life could be so hard.

You can't eat enough food, and you can't cover your body with clothes. This kind of life makes people desperate. But these righteous people seem to be accustomed to a hard life. So although the road was difficult to walk along the way, no one shouted that they were tired, and no one wanted to stay. In order to enter the paradise on earth propagandized by the White Lotus Sect - Da Ming!

In particular, the phrase 'the tiller has his land', which makes these righteous people rush to it!

When everyone was tired of dancing, the men presented the bones left over from the day mixed with rice to make a gruel. There is also a nest head per person. All along, everyone only had two meals, so in the evening, there was suddenly a third meal, which made many people think they were dreaming.

Some of the children who had fallen asleep for a long time also got up to receive food under the reminder of the adults. Then he fell asleep peacefully.

When they set out the next day, the righteous people were not so listless as they had been any longer. Maybe it's because I ate meat, it looks a little more energetic.

When the rebel army marched south, He Lin, the governor of Sichuan, also rushed to the residence of the Sien Maonan people with more than 70,000 Qing troops. When he was attacked by unknown forces in Liping, he received a letter from Fukangan that he was critically ill. Worried that something would happen, he left some of his soldiers behind to exterminate the unknown forces. Then he took another part of the people, young and strong, and rushed to the place where Fukangan was camped non-stop.

But he was too late, and there was nothing but ashes in the ground. After that, many separated soldiers came to them, but there was no news of Fukangan. This worries him! Until a general hiding in a hole in the ground came out and said that Fukangan had died of illness.

He Lin was a little unconvinced at first. But in the cave, after seeing Fukangan's cold corpse, he had to believe it. Immediately wrote the news of the defeat of the Qing army and the death of the governor into an excerpt. Let people hurry up and send them back to the capital.

At the same time, the scattered soldiers were reorganized into a battalion and continued to pursue the Miao army.
