Signing in during the Republic of China: Starting from a foot patrol

Chapter 227

On today's construction site, there is a strong smell of meat, I see dry firewood wrapped in flames, seven or eight large iron pots are continuously heated by flames, accompanied by a gurgling sound, a pot of stewed meat dishes emit a charming aroma.

The captive workers lined up in a long line, looking at the big iron pot one by one, their noses greedily sniffing the smell of meat in the air, and the saliva was swallowed again and again, and again and again in the mouth.

Liu Qizi stood in the middle of the team, and like everyone, stared at the pot of meat and vegetables, his eyes full of expectation!

I'm going to eat meat today!

Because the county elder has a little young master in his family.

The county elder was benevolent and righteous, and Kai Xi did not forget his own group of prisoners who had offended him.

Before long, the team began to move slowly, and the women in charge of the dishes put a large spoonful of meat vegetables into the prisoners' bowls, and then the woman next to them handed over four freshly seared stickers!

After getting the meat and dry food, all the captives immediately ran to the side, and did not care about the hot dishes, picked up a chopstick of fat meat and stuffed it into their mouths.

At this time, it was Liu Qizi's turn, a large iron spoon of stew was put into the bowl, Liu Qizi glanced at it, his face could not hide his excitement, there was a lot of meat inside, almost half of the dish and half of the meat.

The four sticker cakes are also made of yellow and clear stick noodles, which is good food compared to wild vegetable dumplings and bran nests!

Liu Qizi can't remember when he last ate meat, that should be, it was last time!

However, he vaguely remembered that he was still wearing open pants at that time!

Calculate it, let alone say it will take more than ten years!

Finding a secluded place, Liu Qizi served the rice bowl, used chopsticks to pick up the fat and thin stew, and then put it in his mouth, chewed gently, and the gravy suddenly exploded in his mouth.

In an instant, Liu Qizi felt that the pores of his whole body were a little open, and the whole person had a feeling of trembling.

He had long forgotten what meat tasted like, a strange and heartfelt taste that he had never felt before.

"What a fragrance!"

Liu Qizi ate very slowly, he wanted to taste the taste of this stew slowly, and the sticker cake in his hand deliberately peeled off the brown crispy skin outside, and put it in his mouth to chew the crispy and fragrant.

The rest is soaked in the soup, then stuffed into the mouth, and after a few chews, the gravy-soaked pastry slides down the esophagus.

"The county elder let me eat meat."

"He's such a big good guy!"

"It is also my blessing to be able to be a prisoner for the county magistrate!"

Liu Qizi sighed with emotion, wiped the last bite of sticker cake in his hand in the bowl, and adhered all the remaining meat dregs and soup base to the sticker cake, and the whole rice bowl was clean as if it had not been used.

"Stew, it's delicious!"

Liu Qizi said slowly with a smile.

And like Liu Qizi, many prisoners also showed joy, one by one, while eating, they said that the county elder was benevolent and righteous, and everyone had to do a good job.

Perhaps, Lin Hongfei still underestimated the living conditions of these ordinary people, and in his opinion, eating a nest of chaff and wild vegetable dumplings can be regarded as punishment.

But this was something that the captives did not dare to eat.

Lin Hongfei thought it was just stewed meat, but this was the best mountain and sea delicacies that the captives had not eaten for a year, two years, or even three or five years, ten years and eight years.

Invisibly, Lin Hongfei's position in the minds of these captive workers was much higher.

Although having a son made Lin Hongfei happy for several days, he did not forget the big things he was currently doing.

On the river, the patrol of the two gunboats, the Jiangdu and Jiangbei, temporarily blocked the direct army of Hubei Province from going north, and it would not pose a threat to Lin Hongfei for a while.

Taking advantage of this time, Lin Hongfei, Wu Yongquan, Chu Liangyi and others began to deal with the affairs of Huaishui County.

Two days ago, the spies of Huaishui County sent back the latest news again, and there was a conflict between the security group of Huaishui County and the Sanhuangdao, the largest local Taoist association, and thirty or forty people died on both sides.

Now, whether it is Yang Zengshou, the commander of the security regiment, or Tang Ziyou, the master of the Great Altar of the Three Emperors Road, they are trying to win over Wei Zhen, the bandit leader of Lian Tianshan.

And Wei Zhen also had a bit of strategy, knowing that he was now fragrant and fruitful, so he simply waited for the price and sold, remained neutral, and whoever gave more money, he would help whomever he wanted.

At the same time, the security regiment and the Three Emperors Road are also wantonly pulling strong ding, grabbing grain and money for weapons, and the people of Huaishui County have been squeezed to the limit.

This timing is precisely the best time for Lin Hongfei to intervene!

As long as the banner of protecting the border and the people, and opening a few porridge shacks and boiling a few large pots of porridge along the way, it is enough to win the hearts of the people in Huaishui County.

In order to defeat these three forces in one battle, Lin Hongfei sent more than a thousand people this time, and these thousand people were all elite soldiers who ate and drank enough every day and trained on time.

Compared with the Huaishui County Security Group, the Three Emperors Dao, and the rabble of the bandits of the Tianshan Mountains, let alone one enemy two, it is no problem to have three enemies and ten enemies.

As for the command of this team, Lin Hongfei handed over to Chu Liangyi to be responsible, he now needs to train out several high- and middle-level officers under his command, in the future, the territory will be large, and he can't fight a war, so he will have to drive his own conscription.

Chu Liangyi was naturally very excited, he was still commanding the battle of more than a thousand people for the first time, and it was false to say that he was not nervous.

But nervousness is nervous, but he is not worried about his command ability, after all, what a group of rabble he is facing, if even they can't beat them, he simply finds a place to wipe his neck and commit suicide.

······

At noon in Huangjia Village

, Huaishui County

, the village would have been filled with the smell of fireworks while cooking.

Today is no exception, it also has the smell of fireworks.

It's just that the scale of this fireworks is a little bigger!

The flames, which were originally confined to the hearth, have now engulfed more than a dozen simple houses one after another, and the black smoke is thick and billowing up, constantly rolling and circling in the air, occasionally conjuring a vague and hideous grimace.

In this black smoke, howling, cursing, and killing sounds rose one after another, and the soldiers of the security regiment, dressed in loose and dirty military uniforms and crooked hats, rushed into the courtyard like mad dogs, wantonly venting their most primitive beast desires in the despair of the people in the courtyard.

Kill and crotch!

The people of Huangjia Village naturally did not sit still, and some of the people with the Huang surname who fled into the ancestral hall, under the organization of the patriarch and several elders, took up several earthen guns and agricultural tools and began to confront the soldiers of the security regiment.

With the blessing of the blood feud, he killed seven or eight soldiers of the security regiment who broke into the ancestral hall.

This move immediately attracted retaliation from the security regiment, and dozens of soldiers of the security regiment surrounded the ancestral hall, and they did not rush to attack inside, but threw torches and grenades into the ancestral hall.

For a time, smoke billowed in the ancestral hall, and explosions rose one after another!
