"What a terrible place.//High-speed update//" Although it is clear and windless now, Wang Ruixiang can't help but shudder. Shandong is easy to get along with in winter - although he was also a big man from Shandong in another time and space, now he is wrapped in
Wearing a thick fur-lined coat specially made for veterans and thermal underwear brought from the old times, it still felt bitingly cold with a velvet hat on my head.
However, in order to maintain his elder image in front of the naturalized people, Wang Ruixiang still kept his head high and confident in front of the refugees and soldiers.
The last time I felt the embarrassment of this cold winter must have been more than ten years ago. Wang Ruixiang looked back at the bottom of the hillside. Thousands of refugees were lined up in five neat columns, forming three hollow squares around several large pots.
, were eating in an orderly manner. The refugees were holding on to two-meter-long wooden sticks and half-kneeling on one knee. Only the cook at the end of each row was running around, taking the hot rice from the cook's hand.
The mushy wooden bowls were handed to the other four people in the same group one by one. After everyone got the wooden bowls, the musician at the back of the phalanx blew the bugle three times.
"Save the world, bring peace to the people, and bring peace to the world, the Senate is the greatest!" Although the refugees were not shouting in unison while holding bowls, and probably not many people fully understood the meaning of this sentence, the shouting of thousands of people in unison was still very powerful.
After completing the pre-meal rituals, the refugees put down their hands, which they used as sticks, took out the relief biscuits warmed by their bodies from their arms, and wolfed down the batter.
It seems that the few weeks of training before departure were not in vain. That is to say, this sense of accomplishment that is changing the world can make me feel that it is worthwhile to abandon everything in the old time and space and come to this poor place for this time travel.
Destruction and construction both give people the best sense of accomplishment, not to mention that what you are doing is destroying the old world and then building a new one.
In the old time and space, before all kinds of high-tech thermal insulation products appeared, my young self once wore thick and bloated cotton clothes and stood like this in this land shrouded in cold winter. It’s just that my current situation is compared with my situation at that time.
It's completely different. In the old time and space, I was extremely disgusted with the current situation of being a military warrior who was still the same as myself. I regretted and missed the past very much. I also fantasized more than once about how I would change if I could go back to that age again.
My own life. Although this time travel was different from what I had hoped for, I finally made up my mind after much hesitation: "If you can't change your past, then change yourself and the future of the world." With this in mind,
With the second grade of faith, I firmly embarked on this uncertain road.
Wang Ruixiang put his hand on his forehead to clear these past memories from his eyes, looked down at his watch, then looked up at the vast wilderness, then turned around and walked slowly down the hillside with the special reconnaissance team guarding the side.
At the foot of the mountain, several soldiers from the northbound detachment on escort missions were cooking pots. The army distributed grass rations with better taste and higher quality to each soldier, but the soldiers could also get an extra bowl of relief paste.
Trekking long distances in the wild in such severe cold weather consumes far more calories than the ordinary version of grassland rations can replenish. However, the high-calorie cold zone grassland version is only rationed to veterans and special reconnaissance teams.
"Chief!" When the soldiers surrounding the pot saw a veteran approaching, they immediately stood up straight and saluted a military salute. Wang Ruixiang returned the salute and waved his hands for them to continue. He and the special reconnaissance team ate on the same stove, and the pot was also cooking.
The difference is that dried vegetable leaves are added to it, and the grass ration is the cold zone version. It contains more fat and minced meat.
If you just eat it like this, it will taste bland. But the chili sauce Wang Ruixiang brought with him makes the small stove here completely different from the big pot rice of the refugees.
After the group finished eating, Wang Ruixiang looked at his watch and saw that the time was almost up. He signaled to the people around him to continue moving forward. The musicians returned to the team and blew the bugle. The refugees picked up the wooden sticks and stood up.
, after drinking the remaining hot water in the bowl, he shook off the water, stuffed it into the bag on his waist, and then followed the short drumbeats to march in place to form a team. The captains also returned to the back of the team from the innermost part of the phalanx.
On the right. After a few more bugles, the refugees slowly moved from the quadrilateral square array back to the five-row marching column.
The entire refugee team had turned into a half-mile marching column, and a few soldiers carried flags to the front of the team. Several cavalrymen from the northbound detachment, serving as scouts, mounted their horses and rode out a mile away.
"Let's go!" was the order, and after a few horn blasts, the drum beat suddenly changed. The entire team began to move forward slowly but firmly, continuing this long and difficult journey.
"It's the fourth day now. It seems we can arrive on time tomorrow." Wang Ruixiang returned to the central baggage team, thinking in his mind.
The road Wang Ruixiang led this time was not the road they took from Juyangshui to Laizhou Bay before the Dengzhou Rebellion. Although the war has subsided, several temporary supply points set up along the road in the past have been abandoned.
It was too difficult to walk there with all the dry food brought by the refugees along the way. Moreover, too much food was consumed along the way. So we went out to sea from the head of Lanshan Mountain instead.
To be precise, it goes out to sea from Foshou Bay at the head of Lanshan. This is the Lanshan Port area in the old time and space. The waters of Lanshan Port are relatively wide and the water depth conditions are good. The natural water depth at the front of the 20,000-ton berth can reach 10 meters. Lanshan Port
The port is an ice-free port. In the Ming Dynasty, it was under the jurisdiction of Rizhao County, Juzhou, Qingzhou Prefecture.
This is the delivery dock that Wang Ruixiang and his people selected after many reconnaissances. In addition to the hydrological data obtained from old time and space data, he found that this place was sparsely populated in the Ming Dynasty, and it was far away from the nearest Ming army garrison, Anton Guard.
During the 40-kilometer journey, the entire defensive force was just a beacon tower and five troops guarding the tower. Without large-scale intelligence, the hungry and cold soldiers of Anton Guard would not have come here. No matter whether the ships were approaching
Neither the shore nor the refugee movement will be noticeable.
Moreover, the road distance from this place to Yishui City is only 128 kilometers, and you can generally travel along Provincial Highway 335 and Provincial Highway 222. If the refugees travel at an average speed of 30 kilometers per day, it will take up to 5 days to reach Foshou Bay. This way is prepared for the refugees.
Dry food can also be greatly reduced.
According to people in the Song Dynasty, a soldier can carry six measures of food for ten days. This is also the maximum amount of food that each soldier can carry. But this is a strong young man who has been in a state of malnutrition for a long time.
, a refugee group consisting of men, women, old and young is not the same thing.
It is impossible for the refugees to carry ten days of rations based on their physical condition, and Wang Ruixiang does not dare to carry so many rations for them: if no one is watching, many people will eat three days of rations on the first day.
They will also be starved to death by dry food without water, and some refugees will take the opportunity to escape with the food rations - this kind of thing has happened many times before.
Therefore, Wang Ruixiang currently uses the baggage team to carry rations together, and the baggage team uses wheelbarrows. Young and middle-aged refugees work in daily rotation to push and pull the carts. The baggage team is escorted by the Jingwei. This ensures food without adding manpower.
can be distributed safely.
The refugees marched in a formation of five people and one fire. Everyone except young children had to carry wooden sticks - these things can effectively save energy during long journeys and can also be used for self-defense when necessary. During the march, young and middle-aged refugees
Outside, the baggage team and women and children were included. Young children and the infirm rode wheelbarrows in the baggage team. If anyone was sick or left behind on the road, the baggage team would also take care of them.
Every refugee marching column sent to Foshou Bay is equipped with a fine guard: composed of the northbound detachment and Yunsheng Guanxiang Yong. Yunsheng Guanxiang Yong is responsible for maintaining the order of the team and guarding the baggage train. The northward detachment sends scout cavalry to the front.
Conduct reconnaissance and use force to disperse hostile forces when necessary.
It is not easy to carry these thousands of people through more than 100 kilometers of disaster-ravaged areas. The famine has caused most of the settlements along this road to be abandoned, and hungry people are everywhere. Not to mention replenishing food along the way.
It was not easy to even raise firewood and drinking water. The weather was extremely cold, and on the fourth day dozens of people had been lost - this was considered a low-loss operation. There were several times where people died instantly due to snowstorms or other natural disasters.
It is not uncommon for hundreds of people to be lost.
At noon on the fifth day, the refugee column finally arrived at Foshou Bay. There was only a small fishing village and a pier. Since Wang Ruixiang and the Taoist priest selected this place as the port for refugees, the northward detachment sent a detachment to directly control it.
Here, most of the people in the fishing village have been taken captive to Jeju Island, leaving only a few fishermen who are familiar with the hydrological and tidal conditions at Lanshan Head as pilots.
The pier was also controlled by the northward detachment, and the five pier soldiers and their families were taken as prisoners. Wang Ruixiang did not embarrass them much, as long as they "continue as usual" - of course, they have to accept everything that is happening in Foshan Bay.
A very sensible "didn't see it".
Seeing the piers of Foshou Bay in the distance, the young men of the Jingwei team let out a slight burst of joy. In order to temporarily transfer refugees, Foshou Bay here not only built a pier for boarding ships, but also built some supporting buildings.
: A simple camp was built with the fishing village as the core, with many shacks, which can accommodate up to 2,000 refugees and 300 elite health and labor personnel. There is also a simple warehouse that can store relief rations for 100,000 people.
The ships that came to pick up the refugees were all loaded with relief rations, and were loaded with refugees after being unloaded locally. The transported food was transported back by the returning Jingwei. Sometimes a special transport team had to be sent to Foshou Bay to pick up the food and go back and forth.
The food consumption is very large. If it is not to obtain more people, it is quite uneconomical to do this. (,.., or enter ") in Baidu,.
