The Tang officer did what he said. He walked to the car, handed the grenade to the soldiers distributing food, took two bags of food supply bags, and walked back to the door of the boy's house.
He handed the food bag to the boy, and the boy's eyes were full of light at this moment: he had seen this kind of thing before. It contained some flour and packed cans. It was the food bag used by Tang Jun himself.
With this thing, they don't have to go hungry these days, and they can eat well, better than what their father ate when he was working at home.
At that time, in order to cultivate the land and grow food, his father was the only one in the family who could eat well, while he and his mother could only eat gruel and wild vegetables.
Due to long-term malnutrition, the Qin people here are generally thin, and the children are basically skin and bones. The children in the families of the landlords and gentry are well-fed, so they are generally tall and burly, so they often bully the thin civilian children.
At that time, boys always wished that they could eat more and grow taller so that they could avoid being bullied.
But it wasn't until now that he really saw what food was: the Tang Empire's food packages included ham sausages and bread, as well as flour and thick soup seasoning packages.
As long as you pour some hot water into it, the thick soup dumplings can turn the water into hot soup. The soup in the Tang Dynasty is so delicious that just one sip will leave you with endless aftertaste.
The soldiers of the Tang Army who camped near his home gave the children some soup, and the boy can't forget the tempting taste to this day.
It was precisely because of that bowl of soup that the grenade he hid had not been used until just now...
Now, there were two food packages in front of him, containing all kinds of food. He couldn't even believe that these belonged to him.
Therefore, he timidly raised his head and looked at the man, not daring to reach out to pick up the things. The Tang officer put the food into the child's hands and said with a smile: "It's all for you! Don't be afraid! You are now a Tang man.
Yes, do you understand? Tang people! Tang people should not be hungry! Nor should they be bullied! We are a family! You will know many truths in the future!"
As he spoke, he stuffed the candy he had just begged from the soldiers into the boy's pocket: "You will understand in the future! You will go to school and learn many principles, and you will have a decent job.
Support your mother and find a wife... Hahaha! Beautiful wife! Do you understand? Do you understand?"
The boy originally hated having his hair rubbed, but surprisingly, he didn't hate this feeling very much this time.
He didn't know whether it was because his pockets were full of candies or because his hands were holding food. In short, he didn't hate the officer rubbing his hair. On the contrary, he felt an indescribable sense of happiness.
Rifles one after another were handed over by the people of Qin, and grenades one after another were stored in ammunition boxes.
The Tang soldiers counted ammunition and supplies in the open space at the entrance of the village, and then recorded the civilians who had surrendered their weapons one by one. This job was very important and complex. In this way, the Tang soldiers tried their best to distinguish the relatively uninhabited civilians.
Hostile civilians.
In addition to distributing food, resolving conflicts, and dividing land equally, the Tang State also tried its best to ask local garrison troops to help repair houses and roads, and effectively helped local people improve their lives.
This kind of work did have an effect. Although it did not make the people of Qin eat pots of wine and welcome the king, it at least reduced the intensity of local resistance and reduced their resistance.
…
Guangmian, Chen Li stood in front of the map with dark circles under his eyes, feeling that all his strength had been drained away. Several lines of defense he had carefully arranged were destroyed due to inexplicable things, which put him on the verge of
In a state of collapse.
Originally, Chen Li thought that he could hold on to such an excellent defensive location as Daxiguan for at least three or even four months. However, he gave it to the Tang army before he could hold on for even one month.
What made him collapse was that the Qin army broke out in rebellion! Da Xiguan, which had a very favorable terrain, was lost like this. Chen Li even wanted to die.
Later, the Qin army retreated to Shahun and lost one-third of its baggage. The losses were huge and it was difficult for the Qin army to gain a foothold. As a result, some troops rebelled and defected.
Then, the last line of defense outside the mainland, the Shahun defense line that had been prepared for a long time, collapsed and turned into a joke.
Well now, the Tang army has invaded the Qin mainland, and Guangmian has been reduced to the front line. As the frontline commander of the Qin State, Chen Li has really become the shame of the Qin State!
"General, the army lacks ammunition and food. I'm afraid Guangmian won't be able to hold on for long." The adjutant put a coat on Chen Li and said in a depressed voice.
"I left weapons for the common people, hoping that they could hinder the Tang army's advance. It seems... the effect is still there." Chen Li rubbed the bridge of his sore nose and said to his adjutant.
In the past two days, the Tang army did stop and did not continue to launch rapid attacks. The previous attack speed of more than a hundred kilometers disappeared, and was replaced by an unfamiliar steady and steady attack tactics.
Strauss on the front and Burton on the side did not rush to attack, but began to consolidate their own results.
This made Chen Li even more nervous: If the Tang army continued to advance rashly, he would still have a slight chance to take advantage of the chaos... Now that the Tang army had stopped its steps, the Qin army had no chance at all.
In fact, what Chen Li didn't know was that the reason why the Tang army stopped was because of the need to relieve the people of Qin who were short of food and to execute the landlords and gentry left by Qin, rather than because of the weapons left behind by the Qin army before retreating.
ammunition.
In fact, most of those weapons and ammunition were confiscated by the Tang army, and only a small number were actually used.
However, these distributed ammunition and weapons did create some trouble for the Tang army: in the past, these weapons and ammunition were collected and seized, but now the Qin army distributed them to the people, and recycling them was a waste of Tang army's time.
"What I'm worried about is whether the Tang army will immediately surround Guangmian after finishing their affairs... If they attack, we won't have enough troops to defend the two wings." Chen Li pressed his hand on the map, worried.
said.
He currently has insufficient troops, and there is no guarantee when follow-up support will arrive, so the city of Guangmian is very likely to be lost...
And if Guangmian is lost, then Qin will lose its first big city... This signal is really fatal to the passive Qin.
