"Many people are willing to go, but they don't know what to do. They are afraid that there is fraud involved." Liu Bin said, "Food and accommodation are free, and they are also taught how to read and write. This is great."
This is no different than men going out to work as laborers or soldiers, working hard in exchange for money. Everyone understands this.
If you are a monster, there is no pie in the sky. People also understand this truth. What's more, sending your own flesh and blood to a strange place cannot be persuaded by casually advocating how good the school conditions are and how promising the children are.
So far, only four children have been taken in in the village, one of whom is a real orphan, and the others whose families are too poor to raise them.
"Let them go to Fangcaodi and have a look." Liu Bin said, "They will definitely be willing to go and see..."
Liu Dazhu snorted: "You really don't know how expensive firewood and rice are. If one family is sent to Lingao, it will cost more than thirty people. Even if they are allowed to walk, will it cost money to eat, drink and live along the way? Besides, whether they are willing or not
Going?"
"How to do it?"
Wang Wu said: "Director Dong said in class: The first thing to do rural work is to gain the trust of the people, and the second thing is to gain the trust of the people. People are still doubtful about us, so we will spend a lot of effort on this for the time being to avoid letting people down.
People are suspicious."
Liu Dazhu said: "I don't think there is any need to be verbose. Aren't we going to send young people? Let's talk to Captain Liu and send young people to each household."
Wang Wuyi said in shock: "This is really new. If you do this, the people will be scared to death."
While they were talking, in the trees outside the camp, several people were watching the lights in the camp.
Zhaopu Village is a desolate small mountain village with no large public buildings - and there are no wealthy people such as landlords in the village. The houses are all made of bamboo walls and thatched roofs, which not only cannot accommodate extra people, but is also very unsanitary. The work team
Of course we try to avoid it.
They live in a camp they built themselves.
Earthen ramparts, barbed wire fences, trenches and watchtowers. All the facilities that a standard field camp should have, but only in detail.
The work team and guard platoon live in standard army tents. These dark green coarse cloth tents painted with persimmon paint are available in large, medium, small and three sizes. There are also special functional tents, which are complete in variety and easy to use.
The lanterns and torches on the earthen ramparts were brightly illuminated, and those staying in the bushes could see the entire camp clearly. However, the lighting also made the surroundings of the camp inaccessible.
"The security is very tight." Gou Er said disappointedly.
Xin Nari said: "The bandit's camp is always very well guarded. If you try to steal the camp and rob it, I'm afraid you won't be able to do it."
The best way to deal with this kind of enemy who has formed a stronghold is to attack with fire: fire a lot of rockets, wait for the camp to be set alight, and then attack violently. But this was in the past. Gou Er and Xin both fought against the elders that day.
People know that traditional methods are not very effective against bandits. Their guns can shoot much further than bows and arrows. As soon as the archers start shooting arrows, they will be shot away. As for sending people to approach and set fire to them, it is even more impossible.
.No one wants to crawl across an open field with a tinder in bright lights - it's just a waste of time.
"I have counted, there are more than thirty thieves, and they all have blunderbuss." Xin Nari whispered, "We may not be their opponents even if we bring all of us here."
Bandits have little military literacy and can fight with ease, but they are not easy to persevere once they encounter firm resistance. They will collapse after a slight setback. It is difficult to expect them to fight with all their strength.
Gou Xunli gritted his teeth and looked at it for a long time, feeling unwilling to accept it, but he knew that what Xin said that day was right. Although there were only about thirty people in this camp, there was an iron walnut that they couldn't bite open.
"A snake can't do without a head!" Gou Xunli said fiercely, "They can't stay in the camp all day long! You have clearly seen the faces of the leaders!"
They lay in wait for several days, but could never find a suitable opportunity to strike. The work team basically moved around the village, and sometimes wandered around the village. Each time they went out for activities, there were at least five people, all of whom were fully armed. And they never left the camp.
far away.
No matter where we take action, as long as there is any movement and the thieves in the camp come out to reinforce, our side will not be able to gain any favor.
"Doesn't that mean there is no way?" Hu Lanyan said in disappointment.
"I have a way, but it requires internal support." Gou Xunli said, "It requires spending some money."
Hu Lanyan couldn't help but feel a little nauseous when he heard that he had to spend money before things were done. Bandits didn't like to do things that didn't yield real money.
"Brother! It's okay for us to provoke the thief - if I don't destroy him, he will destroy me. It's just a business that costs money and has no income. It's really a loss."
Gou Xunli said: "Brother, the thief is the one who wants us to eat!"
Even if the guy who has nothing to eat is rich in the world, he will still be cheap to others. Hu Lanyan sighed: "I understand this! Alas! How much silver will it cost?"
"Not much, just give me ten liang first."
Gou Xunli first used a few taels of silver to quickly bribe a villager in Zhaopu Village, asking him to pay attention to the movements of the thieves at all times. The two parties met outside the village in the evening. Gou Xunli was interested in hearing about trivial matters.
What Gou Xunli wanted to find out was the activity pattern of the Kun Thieves Task Force and look for opportunities to take advantage of it.
Gou Xunli's eyes lit up when he heard that the work team's vegetables were purchased from the village every day.
"Who did you buy the food from?"
The campground will have meals as normal at noon the next day.
Rice is being cooked in the army pot, and the unique aroma of brown rice permeates the somewhat humid air. Next to it is a pot with "combined soup" boiling in it.
The comprehensive soup is made from the No. 11 ration in the grassland rations - "instant soup cubes". According to the requirements of the doctrine, the troops can add "safe food" that can be collected locally into the soup: including poultry meat, water
products, poultry, eggs and vegetables. Especially for vegetables, Chuan Chuan Group’s dehydrated dried vegetable manufacturing technology is not up to standard. As for the production batch of glass cans, it is very small and cannot be distributed to front-line troops. The main problem of grassland rations is high calories, but
Insufficient vitamin intake must be supplemented with vegetables collected locally.
The first batch of soldiers to eat formed a queue. They took out the galvanized iron lunch boxes from their backpacks and laughed while waiting for the food to be distributed.
According to Fu Bojun's food rules: enough rice, eat as much as you can. There is only one spoonful of soup.
"There are eggs in it today." Someone saw plumeria floating on it.
"It's been a long time since I've had meat."
"This place is so poor that we can't even buy a chicken or duck."
As the soldiers talked, they seemed to have forgotten that not long ago they were similar to the villagers here.
A soldier sat down and took a bite, frowning: "What is it, so bitter?"
"It's bitter melon." Another soldier picked up a green melon slice from his soup.
"Can this thing make soup?"
"If anyone is not satisfied, he can refuse to eat." Huo Toujun said arrogantly, "I don't have enough here."
Complaints are complaints, but you still have to eat.
After lunch, the work team sent several people to the village to continue working. Most of the soldiers retreated back to the camp to engage in military study - the temperature was high in the afternoon, and physical activities were generally not arranged.
Wang Wu and Liu Dazhu are still writing reports - their cultural level is not high, and writing reports is very difficult. Not only do they write slowly, but they also need to think for a long time to express correctly. The lunch that was brought to the table has completely lost its heat.
Suddenly a corporal ran in: "It's bad! Everyone is sick!"
Wang Wu and Liu Dazhu were shocked. Getting sick in the summer can lead to death! Liu Dazhu said: "Let's go and have a look!"
More than a dozen people have fallen down on the roads and open spaces between the tents in the camp. Some are vomiting profusely, some are holding their stomachs and squirting with pale faces. Some people can no longer move, but their bodies are still there from time to time.
Convulsing. Wang Wu smelled a foul smell. He found that several people had diarrhea to the point where they couldn't go to the toilet.
"Where's the hygienist?"
"Hygienist!"
The corporal shouted to find someone, and after a while he helped the hygienist who was holding his belly. It seemed that he was also sick.
Liu Dazhu said anxiously: "Hurry up and give everyone medicine! Oh, where is your medicine box? What medicine should you take? I'll get it!"
"It's useless... this... this isn't sha." The hygienist looked miserable and panted, "We ate something unclean..."
"Tell those who haven't eaten to stop eating and throw them all away." Liu Dazhu ordered and looked after them, "Call everyone back, and we'll put on stretchers and send them to Danzhou as soon as possible!"
But they could no longer leave. Twenty-one of the thirty-five people had severe symptoms, and the rest also had abdominal pain and diarrhea. Only five or six people who had not eaten were completely fine. Even if the work team abandoned the camp and retreated, it would be difficult for them all to leave.
There are not so many people to carry the stretcher.
"Ask the villagers for help," Liu Bin said. "The road is difficult to walk on. It will take at least four people to lift the stretcher."
Liu Dazhu nodded: "I'll go find someone right now."
As he spoke, he left the camp and headed for the village alone - and never came back.
Just as Wang Wu was returning to the tent and busy packing his document bag, he suddenly remembered the noise outside, and a rapid "emergency return" drum sounded. Liu Dazhu was startled: This is the signal for the enemy's attack!
The corporal rushed in again and said: "There are many people coming outside! They are all armed with knives and guns!"
Wang Wu walked out of the tent and climbed up the earth embankment to take a look. In the surrounding trees and on the top of the mountain, there were shadowy figures of people shaking. Swords and guns flashed from time to time in the sun.
Obviously this group of people has bad intentions. They are slowly approaching through the bushes and grass.
"This is a big deal!" Wang Wu said a saying he learned from the Australians, "Quick! Everyone who can move, get on the embankment!"
In order to delay time, he picked up the metal loudspeaker used for propaganda and shouted loudly: "We are the Australian team from Lingao, and we are here to deliver medical care and medicine to the local people! We have no ill intentions towards the people of Danzhou! Who are you?"
