Ma San distributed a cigarette to each of the flag soldiers here, and the flag soldiers took the cigarette and skillfully held it in their mouths. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Yo, you're doing it the other way around, the yellow one is in your mouth. Hey, haven't you seen this thing? Ma San picked up the camel cigarette in his hand and shook it at the flag soldiers, but he still couldn't change his show-off face.

Paper cigarettes, which were born in 1881, are not a rare commodity in the Qing Dynasty. The ships of the British Empire bombarded the gates of this ancient country, and with the influx of opium came many Western industrialized goods. The Imperial Tobacco Company of the British Empire, the predecessor of the famous British American Tobacco, monopolized the paper cigarette market in the Qing Dynasty.

These Manchurian bannermen who have some spare money on weekdays have all smoked cigarettes, but one of the cigarettes that Ma San just gave them is yellow. Yes, that's a cigarette with a filter. The "director team" sent the "camel" and "good color" cigarettes of the 21st century to the traversers as supplies.

"Look, hold this end in your mouth, and point that end. With this yellow mouthpiece, you won't be able to smoke a mouthful of tobacco, and the taste is more mellow and not spicy. Ma San lit one for himself as a demonstration.

A few smokers gathered in a circle and smoked happily.

"Guys, I'm not going to delay your patrol, am I?" Ma San asked knowingly.

"Hey, delay a hair, the deputy commander let us patrol the Thirty Mile Fort every day to spy on the enemy. Isn't this asking for our lives, you also saw the scene of the bombardment of Jinzhou City that day, and that group of killing gods is very compatible. Let's take a walk around here, and when the hour comes, we'll go back to our lives. A flag soldier said as he swallowed the clouds and spitted out the fog.

"This cigarette rolls taste really good, and look at the box, it's also very beautiful, and it's full of foreign languages. Third Brother Ma, you have made a fortune. A flag soldier asked Ma San.

"Hey, it's all gadgets, gadgets. What a fortune? But I do have a little fortune to give to the ranks. Ma Sanshen said babblingly.

"A few days ago, didn't Lian Shun drive the people on this Fuzhou Avenue into this Golden State City? Look at these years, how can there be grain and grass in the city of Jinzhou for these people to live. Seeing that the day is getting colder and colder, let's not wait for these people to nest in the temple and good hall without kang. No, a noble man has spoken, let the people go back to their homes. Ma San continued.

"Which nobleman? This drove the people into the city, but the deputy capital opened the golden mouth and gave an order. Besides, does this have anything to do with the little wealth that was given to us? A flag soldier asked.

"He didn't even count himself as a bird, and he didn't dare to put a fart in the city when he was hit on the door. The noble man spoke, and of course this little wealth is inseparable from this matter. "Ma San really doesn't take Lian Shun seriously.

"Everyone knows that the gang of Thirty Mile Fort has beaten this widow several times this month. This noble man had a lot of good things in his hands, and the rifles were piled up into a hill, and there were several mountain cannons. The noble man said, respecting this Xu Bangdao is also a man who dares to fight with the Japanese hard steel, and he can't bear the sons and daughters of the Gong Guards under him, holding a big knife and a shuttle dart to fight with the Japanese flesh and blood. If you want to send some guns and bullets to General Xu, it can be regarded as helping him. After Ma San finished speaking, all the flag soldiers raised their thumbs and shouted benevolence.

"But this can't be given away in vain, the noble man pitied the people trapped in the city, and sent a message, as long as the arch guards guarded the city gate, they turned a blind eye and let those people go home, and the guns and bullets were given to him Xu Bangdao." Ma San looks like you have made a lot of money in this transaction.

"This is a good way, and if you receive the benefits, then the Gong Guards should not be invisible. However, what does this have to do with our little wealth? "This banner soldier doesn't care about the life and death of the people in the city and those Gong Guards, he cares about the little wealth in Ma San's mouth.

"Hey, you're really a brainless person, this thing of letting people go home from the city, but you can put up notices and publicize it? Since it is not, then the Chinese must quietly take it out of the gate. But the people who were driven into the city were all soft. Guess who this guy will be? Whose pocket will that softness fall into? Ma San said with the appearance of enlightening everyone.

"High, high, really high!" The flag-bearers raised their thumbs in praise.

"That's not all, this noble man has already spoken, but he still has a quick gun in his hand. If this is done, and give you some of it, you may give it to those who are rich. Isn't this the difference in price just the riches that are given to you? Ma San continued to bewitch.

In the years of war and chaos, guns, ammunition, and food were hard currency. Especially guns and ammunition, if you only have food and grass in your hands but no guns, then you will be robbed. Therefore, this gun and ammunition are more scarce than food and grass. As soon as I heard that there were vested benefits, I was promised heavy profits in the future. This group of flag soldiers was eager to ride their horses back to Jinzhou City immediately.

Zhao Yi just told Ma San not to give Xu Bangdao those guns and ammunition, and he had to make money for the rest. He also knows that people don't get up early because of their profits, and if they want to mobilize Ma San's enthusiasm, they have to let him smell the smell of copper. After hinting at it, the remaining Japanese army supplies were also going to be sold separately, and the three eyes of this Ma were green, and he said that this matter was promising.

This group of flag soldiers and Ma San sat on the side of the road smoking and farting, and finally survived to the time when it was time to collect the team and report back, and hurriedly rushed to Jinzhou City.

After returning to the city, these bannermen searched the temples of Shantang in the city in search of the people who had been driven into the city earlier. Tell them that if they can afford the money, take them out of town and let them go home. Many of the people really promised that if they left the city, they would pay gold and silver.

More than 2,000 Gong guards and many people outside the city poured into this Golden State City, and the price really rose three times a day. Those people thought that the soft in their hands could not be exchanged for rice and noodles for a few days, so it was better to use it to buy off the officials and soldiers and return to their homes outside the city. There is still hope for life in this way, and before the city of Jinzhou is broken, people will starve to death and freeze to death.

Early the next morning, the flag soldiers who replied to the message waited early in Twenty Mile Fort, where they had agreed with Ma San yesterday. This is a deal that only makes money and does not lose money, of course, Xu Bangdao agreed. He joined the army when he was a teenager, and over the years, he has leveled bandits and suppressed the army. He has seen a lot of this kind of off-the-table transaction. But it was the first time that someone like Thirty Mile Fort had such a big deal and couldn't see their intentions clearly.

What do they want these ordinary people to do? If you want to pull the flag to rebel, it is easier to raise some beards, these years there are guns and cannons, are you afraid that you will not be able to pull the mountain?

Although he couldn't figure out what these people thought, Xu Bangdao still agreed to the deal. There is no other reason, he is indeed short of guns and ammunition. Moreover, this Golden State City is separated from the Thirty Mile Fort, and the gang can't hold it at all. He didn't want to offend the people of the city who were dying of starvation.

After receiving the news that Xu Bangdao had agreed to the transaction, the traversers also began to prepare. The news brought back by Ma San showed that these people, who had been trapped in Jinzhou City for almost a month, were not in very good health.

After being driven to Jinzhou City, most of them lived in temples and charity halls, and some even lived under the eaves of other people's homes. After eating the food he carried with him, he lived every day only on a bowl of gruel distributed by the deputy capital commander Yamen, which was clear enough to illuminate the shadow of a person. Even this kind of porridge and water could not be grabbed every day, and Lian Shun drove too many people into the city, and did not prepare too much food at all.

In November, the temperature on the Liaodong Peninsula plummeted, and these people who were hungry and frozen, all day and night, could their physical condition be better.

The Provisional Executive Committee planned to set up a post near Twenty Lipu to distribute 10 catties of grain to the people returning home. Medical stations were set up near the outposts to treat the sick and wounded.

In a sense, out of this Golden State City, all the way to the front of the Japanese army's Pulandian defense line is the territory of the people. These people who have returned home will be the first batch of people under the rule of the people, and it is of great significance to them to receive the people to return to their hometowns tomorrow. Before they crossed, they were ordinary people who had no experience in politics. The "director group" of the war also had six months of rapid training, which managed the people, and they were really big girls in the sedan chair -- the first time.

The people who participated in the preparatory meeting were a little nervous, and tried to report in detail the plan for the part of the work they were responsible for. As much as possible, let everyone check and fill in the gaps, and make a plan to deal with various emergencies.

Security measures are the most discussed and the most difficult. Although there is no shortage of experience in policing in Iraq and Afghanistan, this time is a different situation.

Overly strict security measures will create great fear among these people, which will not be conducive to future rule, and may even scare people back into the city of Golden State. It was too loose, and these hungry people rushed supplies. Although Ma San repeatedly assured that these were all obedient people, he participated in the drive into the city in the first place, and few people dared to resist. But the traversal is still deducing all kinds of unexpected events again and again.

There is also the medical supplies used to treat the people, which is also one of the key points of discussion. This time, the "director team" was generous in terms of food, weapons and ammunition, but they still grasped the supply of medicine very tightly, and there were still many wounded people who were injured in the base hospital. There was a great difference of opinion as to how much medicine to prepare to save these people.

One faction believes that more medical resources should be invested to treat the injured and sick people, and to enhance the prestige of the crossing people among these people. Some people believe that those who are too sick are old, young, sick and disabled, and even if they are treated, they may not be able to survive this winter. There is no need to invest too many medical resources. Anyway, in this era, such a condition can only wait for death, and no one blames them for not being able to save them.

In the end, Zhao Yi made a decision and formulated a detailed scoring system to score the injured and sick people. The content of the score includes age, education level, physical condition, level of medication required, prognosis, etc. If it is below the standard, it will be deducted, and if it is higher than the standard, it will be added. Those with a total score of less than 60 points will give up treatment, so as not to waste precious medical resources.

It's just a very cold grading system, and there is no human favor to speak of. But war is so cruel. Resources can only be used for those who have more hope of survival, and it is not Our Lady who crosses the congregation, they have a purpose in helping these people.

The crowd argued until midnight, and then the meeting broke up. Zhao Yi and Lu Xiangyang stayed in the command center and smoked on the heater.

"It's finally come to this, we're pulling supplies out of our teeth to play with fire." Zhao Yi took a deep puff of his cigarette.

"Then we have to take this step, not to mention saving the nation from fire and water, if we want to survive, we have to speed up this pace. If one day this so-called battlefield reality show is not held, and we are cut off from supplies, it will be a hurried response, then it will be really late. Lu Xiangyang gave Zhao Yi another boost to himself.

It was late at night, and most of the people had fallen asleep. Tomorrow, when the gates of Golden State City open, they will face a new challenge.
