By the Glue River, Huang Fengwu took a few elite soldiers, dressed in disguise, and was exploring the terrain. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

After everyone in Jiaozhou City discussed, Huang Fengwu took a team of soldiers to set off in disguise and arrived at the Jiaoshui River in one day. The glue originates in the Jiaoshan Mountain in the south, passes through the mountains and plains, and flows northward. A wooden bridge is erected on the glue river several zhang wide, and after crossing the wooden bridge, you can go straight to the city of Gaomi along the main road.

It is said that Gaomi County is also under the rule of Jiaozhou, but Ren Siqi did not occupy an area in Shandong, so he ignored Gaomi, and now Gaomi is still under the rule of the Qing army.

Several Jiaozhou soldiers were sent to the Gaomi area to investigate the situation in Gaomi City and the whereabouts of the Qing soldiers who attacked them. Huang Fengwu's eyes were firmly fixed on the glue river under his feet.

The river is not wide, it is only three or four feet, a soldier who knows how to water goes down to the river to investigate, and the deepest part of the river is just up to the neck.

"Go, follow me." Huang Fengwu greeted and led the people upstream along the river.

To the south along the riverbank, the road is rugged and hilly. The hills are overgrown with shrubs, and there are many barren fields scattered on the gentle slopes, and there are not many farmers busy in the fields in June, when the farming season is busy.

After walking seven or eight miles to the south, I saw that the river turned a corner, turned a half-bend, and surrounded a swamp, in which the reeds were overgrown, the birds were singing and the silkworms were singing, and the scenery was extremely beautiful. On the high ground next to the marshland, there is a small village, and in the evening, more than a dozen puffs of cooking smoke rise from the village and float in the air above the village.

"This is it," Huang Fengwu said to herself, standing on top of the low hill, looking at the crooked river and the smoky village beneath her feet.

In the afterglow of the setting sun, he hurriedly wrote a letter, summoned two entourages, and asked them to rush to Jiaozhou overnight and hand over the letter to Ren Siqi.

Then Huang Fengwu decided to camp on the low hill and wait for Ren Siqi to lead the team to arrive.

At night, Ren Siqi and Yi lay on the bed of the state government and couldn't sleep peacefully for a long time. Huang Fengwu took people for a day, and I believe that the news will be sent back soon. Ren Siqi has arranged everything in place. Jin Yufei was appointed to defend the city, and with a group of recruits to deter the gentry from possible impatience.

All the recruited soldiers have been ordered to be separated from their families, half stationed at the head of the city, and half outside the city. The soldiers of the Daishan Army and the Zhoushan Army had secretly assembled under the city wall, and as soon as the news returned, they immediately set off from the city.

Lying on the bed, my mind was nervously thinking, thinking about what might happen, and I didn't fall asleep until the middle of the night.

At dawn, a sound of footsteps came from outside the house, and Ren Siqi, who was highly nervous, was immediately awakened.

"General, Miss Huang has sent someone back." A guard whispered outside the house.

"Let him in!" Ren Siqi stood up and ordered in a deep voice.

The door was pushed open, and a figure flashed into the room, and by the light, it was the person who followed Huang Fengwu to explore the terrain.

"General." The visitor knelt on one knee and held up the secret letter in his hand.

took the letter paper and looked at the light, there were a few lines of handwriting on it, and after reading it, a smile immediately appeared on Ren Siqi's face.

"Come on, call Ren Likun." Ren Siqi commanded.

Ren Likun is Ren Siqi's cousin, the current battalion supervisor of the Daishan battalion, Jin Yufei has been entrusted with the important task of defending the city, and the generals of the Daishan Army have the highest position of Ren Likun in addition to Ren Siqi, and are now responsible for training the new army outside the city.

Taking advantage of the efforts of the guards to call people, Ren Siqi hastily washed and changed into a strong suit.

Half-incense kung fu, Ren Likun came in from outside.

"Fifth brother, you immediately go to the recruits outside the city in the season outside the city, let them bring shovels and axes and other tools, they have these things at home, bring three days' rations, set off in the morning, and go to meet Feng Wu. If someone asks, they say that it is a recruit training. Ren Siqi commanded.

Ren Likun agreed to go, and soon there was a commotion outside the city, which was the recruits urgently assembling.

Today's food is much richer than ever, in addition to the sweet rice porridge, each person also got two taels of pork, so that the recruits eat with a mouth full of oil.

After breakfast, the recruits began to assemble with various tools, and then set off under the leadership of Ren Likun and headed towards the west.

"Dad, did you say they let our pillars go to war?" Looking at the back of her son in the team, a peasant woman said worriedly to her man.

"Nonsense, our pillar has only been a soldier for a few days, how can people let him go to war. Didn't you listen to what the pillar said, it's a training, it's training and marching or something. This is how the army of Daishan was trained. The husband said to his wife disdainfully.

"As long as it's not going to war," the wife nodded as if she didn't understand, as for training or something, she didn't care, they were all born to work hard, what did it mean to walk a few steps?

More than half of the more than 3,000 recruits were taken away by Ren Likun to "pull training", and the remaining half continued to train in the open space outside the southern city.

The training team was suddenly reduced by half, but looking at the elite Daishan soldiers standing at the head of the city, the people outside the city were much more relieved. In fact, most of the people didn't realize anything at all, and due to the blockade of news by the Daishan Army, most people didn't know that a big war was about to happen.

Night came again, in the middle of the night, the west gate of Jiaozhou City quietly opened, and the five hundred Daishan troops and one thousand Zhoushan troops quietly left Jiaozhou City from the west gate.

All the soldiers were fully armed, and under the leadership of Ren Siqi, they silently headed towards the west.

At dawn, the team had already left Jiaozhou City for twenty miles. At the edge of a ditch, Ren Siqi ordered a temporary rest, and the whole army began to eat.

Each soldier untied the long cloth bag on his shoulder, poured out the fried rice noodles inside, stuffed it into his mouth, and drank it with water, which was a breakfast.

As early as the time of Daishan, Ren Siqi considered the issue of supply during the march. In those years, the march of the army was very complicated, and a large number of men were required to follow the army to transport grain and grass and baggage. Often, an army of 10,000 people needs to recruit tens of thousands of people to help transport grain, grass, armor, weapons, and all kinds of baggage.

For the imperial court, the requisition of tens of thousands of people is nothing, but for the Daishan army, it is a very troublesome matter. In the past, the Daishan army basically fought naval battles, everything was carried on ships, and there was no need to transport any supplies.

However, in the future, land warfare will be the norm for the Daishan Army, and the supply of marching supplies must be put on the agenda. Ren Siqi often discussed with people how to make the supply easier, or Chen Zhong suggested to him that the rice could be ground and then fried, mixed with bone meal made of fish bones, soybean flour, etc., and then soaked in water, it was a simple meal.

Isn't this just fried noodles? Ren Siqi couldn't help but beat his head, remembering that the great people's army in later generations used fried noodles as food when they were marching. A bite of fried noodles is a mouthful of snow, and in this way the entire territory of China is liberated.

Before setting off for Shandong, Ren Siqi mobilized the people of Daishan to fry a large amount of rice noodles, made long fish intestine bags, packed them into them, and then tied the long bags to his shoulders, and each bag contained more than ten catties of rice noodles, which was enough for a soldier to march for ten days.

After breakfast, Ren Siqi set off again with the army, and at noon, he joined Huang Fengwu by the Jiaoshui River.
