Chapter 194: Ganzi Great Division

readx;?“ And what about today's breakfast?"

Although he had a clear division of labor with Hu Yingze, he was blocked here to ask questions, Zhang Qingshan was a little annoyed and angry, and said in a deep voice: "Eat less than one meal, you won't die of hunger." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"But the problem is, I've already slaughtered the fat pig that was sent......"

In fact, the cauldron he brought was smashed by hail, but there was also a cauldron carried by the cook, and when he saw the pig, he was so happy that he just beckoned everyone to kill the pig, thinking that the cooks went to boil water, but the cooks had a stomachache and went to the hut, and they didn't have time to report it at the first time. After the pig was killed, everyone found out that there was a problem, and he hurried out to find another cauldron to connect to......

Zhang Qingshan looked at Lao Wang speechlessly, and Lao Wang stared at Zhang Qingshan very wrongly, his eyes were facing each other, and he was very depressed: Fighting local tyrants and inferior gentry is a natural duty; robbing Lao Jiang's things is a matter of course, but robbing the things of the common people is a big crime of killing the head. But the world is big, and the belly is big! That's a big problem.

Helpless, Zhang Qingshan had no choice but to take a few soldiers to buy them from Tibetan compatriots.

Maybe it was because it was early, but not to mention, I actually bought four large vats. At the same time, they finally figured out that the locals did not have the habit of using large iron pots at all, and the reason why there were still two large cauldrons in the blacksmith shop was booked in advance by the 32nd Army.

But in any case, cooking meat in a large vat is also a good choice, which is better than nothing.

happily returned with a large vat pulled by a horse-drawn carriage, and then boiled water and meat...... As a result, tragedy came.

Before the meat was cooked, the vat exploded. It turned out that the local vats could not withstand the high temperature of the fire.

Looking at the half-cooked boiled meat, the soldiers of the assault company all smiled bitterly, and for a while, they really didn't know what to do?

"What are you doing with a sad face? Can't you eat undercooked meat?" Zhang Qingshan walked up to the half-cooked pork, and said while pondering: "Lao Tzu still doesn't believe it, can you let go of the meat that reaches your mouth?" Even if it is half-cooked, it is better than eating raw......

After speaking, Zhang Qingshan's eyes lit up, he took out a dagger, cut a piece of meat, and roasted it on the fire. He also smiled proudly at the soldiers: "Today, let's also improve the way of eating, just eat barbecue." ”

As soon as they heard this, the warriors rejoiced, stepped forward one after another, cut off a piece of meat with a dagger or a broadsword, and roasted it.

And Lao Wang and the soldiers of the cooking class immediately gave salt to everyone, and they were also very happy about this way of eating fresh and allowing the soldiers to eat cooked meat.

In this way, after some smoky fire, everyone ate "bacon" or "barbecue", which is really a unique taste.

For yaks or other domestic animals that cannot be eaten for a while, the smaller ones are led, and the larger ones are used in the new army to camel weapons and ammunition, or to ride the sick, and then they are killed one after another to improve their lives and replenish their provisions. Whenever they ate beef and mutton and saw the role played by yaks in the march, everyone remembered the comrades of the Red 32nd Army.

For the lack of cauldrons, the chiefs also thought of a way: although the common people did not have a big iron pot, the local big toast or wealthy headmen, because they wanted to learn from the Han people, or to live a higher enjoyment, etc., they would have some big iron pots in their homes.

Originally, the Red Army intended to buy from them, but the interesting thing is that most of these big toasters or wealthy leaders, afraid of the majesty of the Red Army, had already run away - according to the composition, these people definitely belonged to the local tyrants and inferior people. They never imagined that the Red Army would not want anything else from them, and would actually bring all the big iron pots in their homes - of course, they had to keep the money. It is said that a big toast returned home afterwards and found that there were many other things in the house, not even the water had been touched, but the big iron pot was missing, but there were a few more silver dollars next to it, and there was a note. He sighed at the time: "I knew that the Red Army was just going to buy iron pots, so I wouldn't have run away." ”

However, the Red Army had a large number of people, not to mention one iron pot, many times, a regiment only had two or three iron pots, and there was no way, so everyone had to take turns to use it, or keep boiling barley mixed with a large number of wild vegetables, and everyone ate it together, and at the same time, treated the barbecue as a vegetable.

After more than a month of marching, on 2 July, the Red 2nd and 6th Army Corps gathered in Ganzi City, Xikang Province, and joined the Fourth Front Army in victory. It was at this time that the Party Central Committee ordered the formation of the Second Front Army (the 32nd Army was incorporated into the Second Front Army) by the Red Second and Sixth Army Corps, with He Long as the commander-in-chief and Ren Lan as the political commissar and Guan Xiangying as the deputy political commissar. From then on, the Red Second and Sixth Army Corps began to use the name of the Second Front Army.

After the rendezvous in Ganzi, Zhang Qingshan, as an active member of the Red Army and an outstanding soldier, was received by the chiefs along with nine other people, which made Zhang Qingshan almost cry with excitement. At the same time, they also received congratulatory telegrams from the Party Central Committee, the First Army, and the Red Front Army.

The local government also provided some cattle and sheep, which made the life of the troops initially improved. Especially for the people who are extremely tired and in urgent need of supplies, it is really a relief in the snow.

The assault company was stationed in a small village about ten miles southeast of Ganzi City.

It is said that it is a village, and there are only seven households in the momentum, which are very sparse, and they are all building-type structures: the owner of the upper floor, and the cowshed below.

The people here are even poorer, and I heard that because of poverty, even the head people can't live, so they ran to Ganzi City with their families, and they didn't come back for six or seven years. But it is worth pondering that because of the Red Fourth Front Army, these seven families elected a new leader, who is actually the oldest elder.

What makes people speechless is that the people here have no culture at all, even the new man, who can only write his own name and know how to count, just this, he is already the most literate in the village now, and his 'culture', I heard that he learned it because he was allowed to be a playmate of the old man when he was a child. But the people in the village have a lot of respect for the new head, even to the point of blind obedience, no matter when to graze, when to get married, etc., they will specially bring gifts to ask, and even plead with the new head. Because in their opinion, only with the permission of the new head will they be blessed and protected by God, and will the wind and rain be smooth......

But they were incomparably simple, even simply lovely: when they saw the arrival of the Red Army, they took out the best things in their homes and gave them to the Red Army, and some even preferred to starve themselves to entertain the Red Army, because this was their respect for the most distinguished guests, and it was also the way of hospitality for the Tibetan people. If you don't take it or don't eat it, it will make them feel insulted, think that you look down on them, and will turn their faces on the spot. In the end, it was Hu Yingze who was witty and accepted a part of the things, but returned the ocean to the Tibetan compatriots in the form of a return gift. Also explain to the other party: This is not money, this is a gift, if you don't accept it, you look down on the Red Army, and everyone is happy.

With just a few families, the housing problem of the assault company cannot be solved at all. Although all seven families took the initiative to give up their houses, how could the Red Army soldiers go to live?

In the end, after the two sides excused themselves, Zhang Qingshan ordered: seven babies lived in a vacant house, and the rest all slept outside.

Two doctors were in charge of collecting herbs around the area, and seven treasures took turns caring for the wounded: four soldiers in the assault company were wounded: one had his right thumb amputated and was now a little inflamed, one had a swollen right leg with a grain of red and white rice, which I heard had been bitten by a spider, one had bloated and diarrhea, and the last one was better, but he was weaker and had to rest for a while.

One platoon was responsible for felling wood and building large houses: although the Red Army did not live here for long, they saw the houses of the seven families in the village and felt the need to build a large house for them. At this time, Zhang Qingshan, who was born as a mason and carpenter, has a place to use, and he has become the commander-in-chief, and he is in full swing.

The second and third platoons were responsible for collecting wild vegetables, and hunting by the way: the cattle and sheep sent by the 32nd Army had long been eaten, and there was not much food, so it would not work if they were not replenished immediately.

There are very few large game species in the area, and I heard that there are only large black bears, but they have never encountered them. The second type of large animal is the wolf, which howls at the moon in the middle of the night, and the assault company organizes and fights twice, and there is no less. But the most are still hares and rats, and many of them have been caught. At this time, the Red Army soldiers did not pay much attention to it, as long as they ate meat, it was the New Year, not to mention that these rats were very big and delicious to eat.

The locals only knew a few kinds of wild vegetables, and they didn't dare to eat anything else, which made it cheaper for the Red Army. Every day, they dug a pile like a small mountain, and when they couldn't finish eating it for a while, they dried and stored it as dried vegetables, which was also to prepare for the next Long March -- the soldiers didn't know, but Zhang Qingshan knew some things at the top through Xiang Xueqin's news: I heard that some leaders pushed north to join the three main forces after the Second Front Army and the Red Fourth Front Army joined forces, and went to the anti-Japanese front. However, some leaders tried in vain to win over and control the Second Front Army in order to continue to confront the central line...... Regardless of whether the news is true or not, no matter what the final result is, Zhang Qingshan feels that this matter is not something that his small company commander can participate in. He only knows one thing, whether it is going north or south, he needs to continue walking, walking a long way, and at present, filling his stomach is definitely a big problem on this way, so after discussing with Lao Hu twice, he feels that stockpiling food such as dried vegetables is the most important thing at present.

Three days later, the assault company built a three-story civilian-engineering house in this small village. Although some wood is used without drying - wood that is not dried is used to build a house, the biggest disadvantage is that the service life is greatly shortened. Zhang Qingshan felt very sorry and could only keep smoking the house with fire, hoping to evaporate the moisture in the wood as soon as possible. But he is still very happy and proud of this achievement.

But at this moment, he was called to the headquarters of the 17th Division and attended a meeting of cadres at and above the company level. At the meeting, Zhang Qingshan profoundly remembered two points: The common people are the foundation of the Red Army, and now that everyone wants to unite to fight against the Japanese imperialist aggressors, then our Red Army must come out first. The second point is that going south goes against the people and the current environment, and there is no way out.

When I returned to the company and explained my experience to the comrades, everyone felt that it made sense.

After thirteen days of rest here, on the 14th of July, the troops were leaving. Before leaving, Zhang Qingshan discussed with several main leaders of the assault company and unanimously agreed that before leaving, he would solve a big trouble for the people here......
