Civilization means cultivating citizens' civic consciousness and improving their cultural and moral qualities. Civilization is not about cowardice, nor is it about cultivating powerless scholars, but about cultivating citizens who are both civilized and military-savvy. Therefore, In addition to advocating citizens to study hard, Wan Lei also advocates citizens to participate in sports.
No, after the dinner, all the guests who were invited to the banquet gathered around the small sports field behind Huayuan to watch a winter sports meeting. The children of these guests were all present. Of course, the parents had to cheer for their children. .
The sports meeting is also very simple. It starts with a relay race, divided into men's and women's groups. Every four people are divided into groups. There are people of all ages. More than a dozen groups of people are galloping on the sports field, attracting waves of cheers and cheers. Some people usually Parents who always have a straight face towards their children also show great concern for their children, because there will be prizes for those who are ahead.
Of course, rewards are just trivial. The key is this honor. Wan Lei has already promised that he will personally award the first place team. Being able to stand in front of Mr. Wan to receive the award is enough for this group of people. The little guy chased after him excitedly.
After the relay race, there was another event, which was shooting; after that, there was wrestling and grappling. The fun lasted until the lanterns came on. Although only a few people could get the prizes, everyone returned with great fun. After all, it was of this nature. The main focus of the sports meeting is participation.
In fact, the families invited to Huayuan this time are all from wealthy families. As long as these children do not do anything extraordinary and rely on the "remaining shadow" of their parents and ancestors, they will be able to succeed in the party, government, military, business, and academia in the future. , participating in this kind of sports meeting, the important thing is to exchange feelings and establish friendship so that we can make progress together in the future.
At nine o'clock in the evening, Wan Lei saw off the last guest, and Huayuan finally returned to peace. Wan Lei let out a long breath, and turned around to see Fu Wei leading several maids to clean up the pile of debris. Bu walked over, took her hand, and whispered: "Don't clean up now, let's go out for a walk."
Fu Wei swept around the roughly tidied clutter, frowned, and said to the maids around him: "I'll spare you the trouble here. After tidying up the hall, you can rest. You don't have to wait for us to come back."
"I'm going to hug Xiao Hai and call Xue'er. This little girl has been lazy all day long." Fu Wei pouted at her husband, turned around and went upstairs.
After marrying into the Wan family, Zhao Xueer spent a lot of time at home as a stay-at-home girl and rarely ran around. And perhaps because of her thin skin, she was unwilling to attend many banquets, and Wan Lei couldn't force her. Whenever When it was her turn to accompany Wan Lei, she always complained that staying in Beiping was too boring and clamored to go out to fight.
In fact, Wan Lei also knew that Zhao Xueer was just depressed, mainly because she had some knots in her heart. According to the tradition of seniority, she was considered a concubine and could only be a concubine. Moreover, she had not been pregnant with a child for so long, and she felt even less confident. So the less confident she is, the less she wants to go out and meet people.
After Fu Wei's kind words and encouragement, Zhao Xueer went downstairs, but she looked haggard, looking like a withered flower.
"Hurry up and put on your coat, let's go out to the night market." Wan Lei grabbed a sweater and put it on Zhao Xueer directly, regardless of whether she liked it or not.
"It's so cold, why go to the night market? Everyone is already asleep." Zhao Xueer complained, but she still put on her clothes obediently and followed Wan Lei out the door.
It was still early at this time, and the nightlife in Beiping City had just begun. The square outside Huayuan was still bustling with people. It was full of people who came out to watch the lanterns and go to the night market at night, and some came from afar. It was very bustling and bustling. Lei hugged his son and led his family directly into the crowd.
While Wan Lei's family was wandering around the night market, hundreds of officers and soldiers of the Peking Army stationed in Liaoning had to stick to their posts at the Yalu River border defense station in Liaodong, so they could not go home to celebrate the New Year. However, the army never treats soldiers badly, and they are paid double pay on duty during the New Year. , wine and meat are still enough.
No, in the border defense station, hundreds of soldiers were eating and drinking in the mountains. The sound of fist pumps and drinking orders was directly transmitted to the Japanese military camp on the other side. The border defense station was not only full of alcohol, but also had a strong aroma of meat, deer, wild boar and deer. Preserved meat and other game meat are roasted on the charcoal stove, and the aroma drifts to the other side of the river along with the northwest wind.
The Peiping Army enjoyed good food and drink in the warm border station, but the Japanese troops did not receive such good treatment. They could only live in broken tents blowing the northwest wind. Because of the difficulty of shipping, the Peiping Army set up points on the sea to collect tolls, and the Japanese troops were transported A grain ship came and only brought ten ships of military rations.
These ten ships of military rations seemed to be a lot. They were distributed among the hundreds of thousands of Japanese troops who entered the dynasty. Each person only had a few kilograms of dry food, which was not enough to last for several days. Moreover, there was no clothing to keep out the cold. In this cold winter weather, Next, even if the Japanese army did not starve to death, they would freeze to death.
Now that the Peiping Army across the river is enjoying the food and drink, they can only watch helplessly, and their morale is naturally declining. If it weren't for the fact that North Korea and Japan are separated by a huge ocean and have nowhere to escape, otherwise these guys would He has long been a deserter.
Although the Japanese soldiers did not become deserters, the sight of eating and drinking in the mountains across the river still made the Japanese soldiers swallow their saliva. There was nothing they could do, they were hungry, they were really hungry and cold.
"Kikujiro, Noshiro, come here." A Japanese soldier with scars on his face called to his two companions, but his voice was a little hoarse, probably because he was hungry.
"Captain Tianjing, what's the matter?" The two accomplices crawled to the scarred man's side. They looked weak, and they must have been hungry.
"Do you want to eat meat or drink alcohol?" the man named Tian Jing asked in a low voice.
"I think about it, I've only dreamed about it." The two soldiers swallowed and their stomachs started to growl.
"In the past few days, I have been observing the military station on the other side of the river. I found that every three days, a sled will enter the military station. That sleigh must be bringing wine and meat. Why don't we think of a way to deliver the sled to the military station halfway? It's a robbery." Tian Jing lowered his voice.
"Team members, this is not good. The general has an order not to leave the military camp privately, let alone cross the river privately. If we disobey the military order, our heads will be killed." Noshiro is a young boy about seventeen years old, and he is very courageous. Xiao. The commander-in-chief of the Japanese army, Persia Yijiang, did indeed issue strict orders, strictly prohibiting his subordinates from provoking the Peking Army. Violators would be dealt with according to military law.
Of course, the reason why the Persian general issued this order was because he was frightened, because the Peiping army was famous for being arrogant and unreasonable, and they were also the ones who would retaliate. If they disagreed with each other, they would bombard the ship. If they provoked Without this gang of kings of hell, I am afraid that another war will break out, and the Japanese army will only become more passive.
"Now we are all starving to death. If we don't go across the river to grab food, we will starve to death. If we cross the river to grab food, we may get our heads killed. Either way, we will die. I would rather die than be a dead ghost." Captain Tianjing
But regardless of all this, he was already very hungry, and what he wanted to do most was to fill his stomach.
"Captain Tai is right, but there are only three of us. I'm afraid we won't be able to rob the sled, so we need to find more helpers." Kikujiro said.
