Tan Shaoguang nodded heavily, "The military department has been prepared for this situation, but it is still a bit unexpected that there is such a large area of refugees gathered here." Before the meeting, the military headquarters made the necessary arrangements, and most of the grain unloaded from the shore would be used to relieve the people here. In addition, some people from the units directly under the army will also be sent to stay behind to organize the people to save themselves, especially to mobilize and win the support of those large local families to tide over the difficulties together. ”

"I'm afraid that our rest may not be able to be fully realized." Tan Tiyuan looked at the division and brigade commanders in front of him, "Persuade the soldiers to try their best to seize the time to recover, of course, under specific circumstances, we must also take advantage of the situation, we can regard the current situation as a rare pre-war education for the soldiers." ”

"Yes," Tan Shaoguang stood up, his face grim, "Physical exhaustion can be endured and overcome, but mental exhaustion is absolutely unavoidable." The stations of all ministries will encounter more or less poor refugees, and our soldiers will not remain indifferent. We need to guide these voluntary actions, and this is also the best opportunity to promote ourselves. At the time of our arrival, tens of thousands of local armed forces of all kinds had retreated into Haiyang County, and until now there had been no clash between them and us, which in itself speaks for itself. All ministries must organize special forces to help the suffering people, and the military department will also devote great efforts to give everyone as much time as possible to rest and recuperate. ”

As he spoke, he looked at Lai Yuxin and Tan Tiyuan, "How about it, let's stop here, so that our generals can rest and rest?" ”

Lai Yuxin nodded, "That's it, Chief of Staff Tan will still take care of your old business, uniformly deploy all kinds of materials, and I will go to some troops to go around and implement the matter of helping the people around the station and resting." ”

"Okay, then the meeting will be dismissed, and everyone will follow the instructions of the military department, and hurry up to rest and recuperate, and make preparations for the next step." Tan Shaoguang began to clean up the text on the table.

Seeing that the meeting was over, Chen Tingxiang stood up and hummed as if singing, "Hold the bow as a strong one, and use the arrow as a long one." Shoot the man first and shoot the horse, and capture the thief first and capture the king. There is a limit to killing, and the nations have their own borders. If you can control the invasion of the mausoleum, how can you kill more? With the poem in his mouth, his hand gestured, and he squeezed his eyes a few times at Liang Chengfu, the commander of the Red Second Division next to him, "Brother, who wrote this poem?" ”

Liang Chengfu stood up, scratched the back of his head, and smiled, "What do you mean, I know that I don't have much of that sour thing in my stomach, but I just want to show my ugliness, don't you?" ”

"Oh, I just can't remember it for a while, but I want to ask for advice from your brother." Chen Tingxiang stuck out his tongue, smiled hesitantly, and glanced at Tan Shaoguang who was packing up his things.

"You guy," Tan Shaoguang looked at the strange-looking Chen Tingxiang and laughed, "Isn't this the poem in Du Fu's "Former Exit", what's the matter, do you want to go against the discipline I just talked about?" ”

"No, but no." Chen Tingxiang smiled, waved his hand again and again, and shook his head, "Didn't Your Highness always say that studying is important, so I just memorized a few poems to have fun when I was fine, and I was asked by His Highness when the time came." Hehe, I happened to learn this poem from my deputy battalion commander Zhao Zheng on the road yesterday, so I slipped out as soon as I got out of my mouth. The strange thing is that I always remember that it was written by the person named Du Fu, but I forgot it again as soon as I got here. Hehe, the army commander is the army commander in the end, he is always stronger than me as a brigade commander, and there is nothing I don't know. ”

"I don't think you have any good ideas," Tan Shaoguang snorted, as if he wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by a guard who came in outside.

"Army commander, Haiyang Zhixian and several local regimental training leaders are asking to see you outside."

Hearing that it was the Manchu Haiyang Zhixian and several local regimental training leaders, Tan Shaoguang smiled and waved goodbye to Chen Tingxiang and the others, and then instructed the guards, "Please." ”

A large number of Red Army troops poured into Hai Duong, and there was no major move except to impose a tight blockade on the main roads and publicize their purpose of eastward advance in the various garrisons. Even in Haiyang County, which was already surrounded by the Red Sea, the Red Army troops, while sending in some propaganda materials, only sent some small-scale surveillance troops, and it seemed that they did not interfere with each other.

It is said that good things don't go out, and bad things spread thousands of miles, but in fact, it is not.

At the foot of the mountain, on both sides of the dirt road in the countryside, and on the edge of the village, scattered with companies of the Red Army of the Celestial Empire that had traveled hundreds of miles, except for the soldiers who were on guard, feeding the horses, and walking the horses, and the cooking soldiers who were busy cooking a rare hot meal for the soldiers, many soldiers should have sat on the ground or sat or lay down, seized the time to rest, and prepared for the future war that might be extremely difficult and ferocious.

Unfortunately, before the arrival of more than 20,000 Red Army cavalry troops, Haiyang County began last year with a large number of refugees who had fled from Wendeng and Rongcheng. What surprised the officers and men of the Red Army even more was that in May, in the early summer scene of beautiful mountains and clear waters and green trees, the trees they could see nearby were all bare, and it was rare to see a little green on the ground, except for the wild grass. The leaves are gone, the wild plants are gone, and the bark is gone......

The poor people who were helpless and uprooted from their homes are now empty-handed after fleeing and countless robber-like sacks by Tsarist soldiers. There is no land to cultivate, no work to help, except for the young people who can still get a mouthful of food when they join the group training and the village bravery, the rest can only rely on the relief and begging of the neighboring villagers.

From a distance, it seems to be a huge garbage dump, and in the vicinity, it exudes all kinds of unbearable fishy smells, and in the dilapidated shacks, there are all men and women who have empty strength, but now they have become skinny, and their faces are full of vegetables, and there are old people and children struggling on the line of starvation and death. For the soldiers who suddenly arrived in front of them, although they expressed fear, in addition to the panic and sadness in their eyes, they were all indifferent, did not want to run, and lost the strength to run. From time to time, there would be bursts of cry of grief from the shacks, and so there was another mourning soul in the underworld who had left this evil world after suffering a lot.

Faced with the human tragedy in front of them, the Red Army officers and soldiers who had been looking forward to a good rest all the way could not bear it. They forgot whether they should build a temporary camp for rest, whether they should lie down and stretch their stiff waist, their legs that were easily numb. In the dilapidated shacks, there were the figures of Red Army soldiers, "Hurry up, clean up the ground, and build the shacks as much as they can, at least to block the wind and rain", hurried words, followed by hurried actions, and there was no trace of fatigue on the tense young, sweaty faces, only sadness and indignation.

In front of the stoves of almost most of the companies, first timidly, and then without scruples, layers of people surrounded them, old people whose faces were covered with the vicissitudes of time and who had difficulty in moving, women who were so weak that they could not help but salivate when they smelled the smell of rice in the cauldron, and kept crying out hungry, all gathered their longing eyes on the cauldron in the middle.

The cooks poured spoonfuls of rice into the trembling, dirty, broken bowls of the expectants, "Eat, don't worry, you have all portions." The choked consolation was accompanied by tears flashing in the eyes of the cooking soldiers.

The officers and men of the Red Army, who had lost their lunch, were still busy without regrets. At the edge of the shacks of each house, many people's cooking fires that have been lost for a long time are lit, and the smell of rice is overflowing. By the stove, there were the same one, or a few bags of rice and dry food with special red star markings, which were originally earthy yellow and had been washed white.

This is a bodhisattva soldier sent by God!

Since ancient times, soldiers and disasters have been linked, and the looting of the Manchu Qing Dynasty for more than 200 years and the atrocities of foreign devils in Tsarist Russia over the past year have all left a deep imprint on the local people. But today it was different, they saw a sacred army that no one had ever seen before, and no one could have imagined.

The poor villagers who had eaten a hot and full meal were crying to these soldiers in front of them who were not relatives, but they were better than relatives, pouring out their stomachs full of grievances and bitterness, looking at this qiē, listening to this qiē, and the Red Army officers and soldiers who had long forgotten their hunger and fatigue were also crying.

The news spread quickly, almost to every corner of Hai Duong, and also to the ears of the officials and gentry in Hai Duong County, who could not be said to be in fear all day long, or who could not sit and sleep peacefully. If you don't destroy the Russian hair, there will be no peace. To destroy the Russian foreign hair, of course, the Qing soldiers could not count on it, nor could they organize their own regimental training, and the only reliance was on the Chinese army in front of them. The Red Army of the Celestial Empire was the benevolent and righteous army that killed the invaders.

"General Tan, on behalf of all the officials and gentlemen of Haiyang County, I unanimously request that your army be moved to the county seat, and we are willing to accept the moderation of the Celestial Empire." The magistrate of Haiyang County held the big seal of the county government with both hands, and his expression was sincere.

"Yes, the Red Army of the Celestial Empire is a division of benevolence and righteousness, and our regimental training in Haiyang is also willing to go with your army to kill all the foreign devils who occupy our Jiaodong, just like your army announced, do our part as the same Chinese. To be honest, most of our practice is from Rongcheng and Wendeng. Several leaders of the regimental training also expressed their positions.

Tan Shaoguang nodded, "The Manchu army also said that they were the teachers of benevolence and righteousness, but in fact, benevolence and righteousness were not benevolent, and it was not boasted by themselves by relying on their own mouths, but by our people." ”

As he spoke, he arched his hand at the officials and gentry in Haiyang, "However, we deeply appreciate your kindness, due to the urgency of the war, our army cannot live here for a long time, and we will not enter the county seat." Tsarist Russia is a pack of mad dogs armed to the teeth, biting people to the bone. In the face of the plundering of Tsarist Russia, they fulfilled their obligations and paid their own blood, so we do not want the soldiers to sacrifice their precious lives again, or stay to maintain the stability of the place and assist the county commander in performing his duties. The matter of dealing with the Tsarist devils will be left to us to solve. In addition, we will also arrange some local people to stay and assist you to improve our own political power and properly settle the local people. To be honest, although we had a little grasp of the situation in Hai Duong, we were still shocked by the miserable life of so many fleeing villagers in Hai Duong. We have ordered the service department to take out some food and materials to help them, and we also hope that the county order and the squires will be anxious about the needs of the people. The strength of unity is great, as long as everyone stretches out a hand, the difficulties will pass. When the Russian devils are finished, everything will get better again. ”

"Alas, what a shame for the past!" Yu County's face flushed, and then he nodded again and again, "General Tan, rest assured, your army can give up food and materials from the soldiers of the expedition, and if we are reluctant to contribute, then we are not human." ”

"Hehe, it's strict, everyone has parents, everyone will have children, let them suffer from hunger, and no one will be happy on their conscience. Here, on behalf of all the poor people who have taken refuge here, I thank you! Tan Shaoguang said as he stood up and respectfully gave Yu County Ling and a few squires a look.

"Don't dare, don't dare!" A fellow villager hurriedly returned the salute, "It is your army that wants to give all of us Chinese the face of our Chinese kingdom, and we should thank you and your soldiers." ”

Tan Shaoguang pulled up the old countryman who was about to make a fuss, and smiled, "It's all a family, so there is no need for us to be polite to each other." ”

"Yes, yes, it's a family, so it's not polite." The old villager god was very happy, he looked at the gentle young general in front of him, and thought for a while, "General Tan, the terrain of Wendeng and Rongcheng is complicated, the mountain roads are rugged, and we have no more places to help your army, so let's organize some young and knowledgeable practitioners for your army to guide you, so that you can take a lot of blind roads and eliminate foreign hairs faster and safer." ”

"Okay, I'll accept this building, we're arranging to find a guide to lead the way, which saves us a lot of things." Tan Shaoguang laughed pleasantly.
