Zhu Ludu, at the mouth of the Linjiang River in Luzhou (now Hefei City, Anhui Province), is adjacent to a newly established water village in Dukou City.

Shortly after the transfer, the auxiliary team and coach Ge Shudiqi, had just had a delicious bacon rice. He cut the oil residue and bacon from the pickled fat and cut it into shreds, stir-fry it with dried beans and eggplant, and then covered it with newly pounded yellow brown rice and simmered it with water until it was cooked. It can be said that there are vegetables, meat and oil and salt.

After he had enough food and drink, he burped his newly issued firearms. Although he was a crossbowman of the Shence Army before, he felt a little comfortable to use these Taiping Army firearms. Therefore, he quickly split them on the felt blanket and placed them neatly, and rubbed them cleanly with a piece of fine fur one by one.

Compared with other people who inserted three-eyed guns in their waists that looked like a one-handed hammer, he got a short-handled wide-mouth gun with a foot-long firearm. Although this is a firearm with a front-loading medicine, it can spray out a large piece of iron slag or lead in ten steps to rent the enemy to injure the enemy. It is much more convenient than the three-eyed guns that are hard-hitting, and the fragmented construction is more complicated.

Therefore, as soon as he had the skill, he would separate it and clean it carefully so that he would not let this firearm be used for some days and did not know how many times he had turned. Under the influence of daily smoke, dust, rain and sweat, the risk of ineffectiveness; this was almost a fatal result in the battle formation.

This is also one of the few relaxation and fun he had during his busy intervals in his daily military service. However, this relaxation and fun would not last long, and he heard the gathering whistle, which made them clean up quickly, put them back on the ferry outside the water village to welcome the arrival of a new round of transport fleet.

At the same time, before and after blocking the water villages at the mouth of the river, there were already long ships of large and small rivers waiting to pass the pass and enter the river. However, due to the strict inspection, everyone must come out and register. In front of more than ten trest bridges, doctors with white burly bodies checked their mouths, armpits and pulses one by one, so that the progress of truly passing the pass and release was never faster.

On the contrary, from time to time, people cried and shouted that they were towed out of the ship by Taiping soldiers, and then tied up and sent to the isolation camp set up on the shore. In several partition areas, there were already many people gathered. Both men and women, but there were very few young and old, and their heads were shaved, and the ship was uniformly decorated with plain and thick numb pullovers.

There are also some suspicious people who secretly carry themselves, who will try to jump ship and swim away when they encounter a temporary inspection; or someone will rely on the water to hide under the bottom of the ship to get away with it; then they are shot by the crossbow and musket without hesitation, and are killed in the clear river water, and are buried with the fish and shrimps.

Therefore, in the crowded and lively wild city outside the Shuizhai, there were also people exchanging rumors and insights and talking:

"The Shinkong prefectures in the north also suffered from a storm. As a result, large numbers of people ran away here. It is said that there were also many Huaixi soldiers and their relatives mixed with them, so"

"These people who escaped cannot rush, but they cannot help our newly established Tunwei and Zhuangzi, at most, will harm some uncollected vegetables; but the locals near the village are in trouble."

"It's really a mess that the countryside has been ruined and ravaged, and it's impossible to compete with those outsiders, so these local middle-aged and upper-class families will compete to escape."

"Of course, those who can come here to avoid the epidemic and military disasters are at least wealthy or above. As for those poor people, it is still unknown whether they can have the fate of leaving the countryside?"

"What about your farm, I really let those who escape from the north be ruined, no matter how much I care about it."

"So what can we do? The epidemic is so fierce that all the villages and villages are dead; as long as those who can move are running, they can find people to farm even if they leave the soil."

"It's not that I didn't want to take the opportunity to collect more land and think that I would plan in the future. As a result, I couldn't find any people who occupied the land, set up boundary markers and drafted the deeds. Everyone could escape, and the rest hid in the city for fear of more epidemics, let alone dealing with going to the countryside," he said.

"So, even in the cities, some people tried every means to sell all the fields, and moved to another country with the soft and soft. Some people even devoted their fields to the peaceful thieves' farms, asking for a household and other qualifications to take care of their families. At least they still have the spare effort to farm, right?"

"I don't want to sell the land, nor do I want to give others a free gift, so I can only come out and avoid it for a while. When the epidemic is over, I don't want to get it. I'm too busy to investigate it... I'm now stuck here and I'm in a dilemma."

Then someone jerked

"Then do you think so cheaply? When you have the opportunity to go back in the future, I am afraid that the field has been occupied by those poor sticks, or they may be re-divided as a homeless land..."

"Then what's the solution? Will the whole family stay in the village and wait for death? Maybe there will be a way out after crossing the river to join the relatives! If the people are gone, then no matter how much land is, will it be cheaper for others?"

"Don't you know that these bridges that can cross the river have been blocked? Those who come to cross the river have to line up here. I'll observe that there will be no other symptoms in one or two days before they can be released!"

"Didn't anyone dare to walk on the night? After all, there are many fishermen who come and go on the water. Are there no brave men under the reward?"

However, the person who said this was quickly looked at him by everyone, and then someone said:

"You're probably coming from the inland just now. You don't know that the riverside is full of steamers patrolling day and night! There were those who were hiding out and were caught and dragged back, but then it was almost gone. Do you know why?"

"I dare to ask why this is?"

The man who was watched sideways shivered and said carefully:

"The boat boards that are dozens of miles along the river have been confiscated; even if they can hide some, they are afraid that they will be sunk by people and ships while doing things, so they will feed fish, shrimps, crabs and turtles."

Another person said: As soon as this was said, a brief silence and a loss of voice suddenly appeared in the crowd. Some people held tightly the brand they had already obtained, and suppressed the lucky principles and ulterior motives in their hearts together.

Compared with the strict restrictions on the Jiangbei transition ships and passengers, various transport ships from the south bank arrived in a steady stream of China and Japan. After the point inspection and loading and unloading of a new batch of military supplies, Geshudiqi couldn't help but ask Si Ji Yu Hou present:

"By the way, how come these few batches of military supplies that came across the river are mostly bottled wine..."

"Of course, is it to provide emergency responses to the front and inland villages?"

This Si Jiyu Hou said without any intention of hiding it:

"After all, it is the season of a major epidemic. Sometimes, teams of people in the wild are inconvenient to get water. Even the live water in the ditches and ponds is at risk of being contaminated by humans and animals. Therefore, it is said that strong liquor can be used to eliminate epidemic poisons and clean trauma, while light liquor can be used as a substitute for daily drinking cooked water in case of emergencies."

"If you don't have enough time or firewood to cook water, even if you add sour and smelly wine, you can quench your thirst and relieve your urgent needs. In addition, there are many wines specially sent to make Polygonum granules. It can also be used as a cold food for hunger and refreshment when needed."

In the Shanyang City, the capital of Chuzhou Prefecture, another corner of Huainan, Qin Zongheng, who had taken over the local city defense, also asked loudly at the messenger from Caizhou with an unexpected look on his face:

"There are no reinforcements, what does this mean? Brother has agreed to..."

"If you go back to Sanju, the troops sent by the Grand Marshal have already reached Lianshuikou...but..."

The messenger sighed with a frown and said:

"But what!"

Qin Zongheng couldn't help but say:

"But suddenly I heard that a major epidemic broke out in the Shenzhou generation in Liu (Han Hong)'s dog head. The country fled through the waters and had to return it to the ground and think it would be intercepted, otherwise it would be the flood of poison and Cai!"

The messenger was frightened by him and shouted:

"It's outrageous. Liu Gou's head hurts me a lot."

Qin Zongheng cursed without hesitation: However, Sun Ru, who was standing solemnly, had a complicated look and intertwined with others.

——I am the dividing line—

Compared with the Huainan area where the war finally came to a relatively calm and the plague was rampant, the city of Jiangling in Jingzhou became more and more lively. Because after experiencing the lively three-day art performance in the city, a new round of national sports meetings around the beginning of winter is about to usher in.

That's right, it's the National Games. As part of the folk entertainment trends and customs orientations advocated by the Grand Governor's Office at present, the "positive and beneficial" and "military and civilian appreciation"; public sports competitions from later generations are undoubtedly a choice that takes into account the public's participation, influence, national strength and ruling power, and other multiple functions and implications, changing customs and customs, and relatively cost-effectiveness.

Therefore, not only the four and ten routes under the rule of the Grand Governor's Office will send corresponding polo, cuju and foul ball (rock-like competition), as well as some participants in basic track and field events such as walking, running, jumping, and throwing; the eleven military orders of the Taiping Army will also arrange corresponding teams to participate.

Therefore, there will be about 60 teams of all sizes and sizes at that time; nearly a thousand athletes compete in the same field in batches; and the corresponding intervals of celebrations, commercial activities, articles and poem selections and other public opinion propaganda operations are enough to bring this grand event and excitement that the whole people participate in to the light snow day that lasts until the frost falls.
