There were 610 soldiers and boatmen in the Qing army's grain transport fleet. Excluding those who were killed, there were still 400 people. These people added the civilians imprisoned in the village and the Qing soldiers, and there were nearly 700 people. Among them and the cavalry brigade, It took nearly a day for the Cossack brigade to move all the grain, black beans, oil and salt from the 27 ships to the dock on the shore. 【】.

The food for the boat includes rice and wheat flour, all of which are new this year in terms of quality and color, without any mildew or color.After all the food was moved to the shore, good white flour was taken that night to make noodles and pancakes for the soldiers to eat with their stomachs open.Zhao Qiang himself had someone fetch some rice and cook a pot of fragrant rice, and put a bowl of pickles made by the people in the village, and when he ate it, he felt as if he was going to melt in his mouth. He held his rice bowl and did not move for a long time.This rice meal was actually the first rice meal Zhao Qiang ate after he came outside the customs. In the past, he ate mainly pasta, even the Russians ate pasta, because there were no rice fields in the Far East.As a southerner, Zhao Qiang naturally prefers rice to pasta. However, due to limited conditions, he has not been able to eat a meal of rice for several months, but now he has a lot of emotions after eating it.The fertile land in the Northeast is the great granary of the Republic in later generations. The rice it produces has supported many disaster-stricken provinces. The story of Beidacang is widely circulated.Now the Manchu and Qing Dynasties did not develop outside the customs, and only carried out large-scale rice planting in Jinzhou and other places where the Ningjin defense line was located in the Ming Dynasty. In other places, only coarse grains were grown. Fortunately, the population outside the customs was small and the output was sufficient Eat it, otherwise, if it is like Guannei, I am afraid that the matter of food production will become the top priority on the cutting boards of the Eight Banners military and political officials in various places.

It is a waste of money to leave such fertile land without knowing how to level it out and leave it as deserted as the countryside.Zhao Qiang hated the Manchus for not developing land outside the customs, and forbidding the Han people in the customs to leave the customs to engage in agricultural production. What he did was to treat the millions of square kilometers of land outside the customs as his Manchurian private property, which he did not use nor allow others to use. , What a narrow national mind!Thinking of the little chicken stomachs of the emperors of the Manchu and Qing dynasties, Zhao Qiang couldn't help becoming famous, and vowed to turn the outside of the pass into a paradise for the Han people, and turn those lands into the eternal wealth of the Han people, instead of making him a target in the eyes of some dirty nation. Private hunting grounds.

Because most of the boatmen in the fleet were from Yafaha Oroqen, Zhao Qiang asked Uer Leng to organize them and let them serve the Guanning Army.Wu Erling has been with these people for so long, and at the beginning he wanted to persuade these people to go to Beitou Zhao Qiang, so with his presence, the mood of the boatmen stabilized and their hearts settled down. All they were worried about was staying The family members in Jilin have nothing to worry about.

Two days later, the leader of the follow-up grain transport team who received the order arrived at Sandaotun, led by Wang Sanyou of Hundred Households from the Shouyi City Brigade.This person used to be a bandit in the past, and later returned to the Wu army. He was famous for his bravery in battle, loved to hack with a big knife, bloodthirsty like a lunatic, and his temperament was very similar to Qi Zhuang.The name Sanyou has the same meaning as the name Guo Fei gave to those fake missionaries. It also means blessing, longevity and wealth. So, there is no need to be serious.

Wang Sanyou brought two teams, and the rest of the people were escorting the people who organized the food delivery, and they would arrive in about a day.Zhao Qiang's order was for the follow-up troops to arrive within two days, but when he gave the order, he forgot to send someone to deliver the order. It would take time, even if the horse galloped, it would take a day. When the order arrived, the grain transport team set off It also took time, and the food transportation team came here at a slower speed, because they brought a lot of carriages with them, so naturally the speed couldn't be compared with the lightly packed Guan Ning army.Zhao Qiang also laughed at his confused order, how could he really use his wrong order to deal with Wang Sanyou and them, so he immediately asked Zheng Guohui to dispatch some horses, change the war horses to transport horses, and then set up a cart to start loading grain.

At sunset the next day, the food delivery team finally arrived. Because it was getting late, it was impossible to load and set off again, so after resting in the village for the night, the food delivery team started the next day.

There was so much grain that it took half a day just to load the vehicles. There were more than 300 vehicles of various sizes. Even so, one-third of the grain could not be transported away in time because there were no vehicles to transport.So Zhao Qiang asked those who had loaded the carts to leave now, and then turned back to transport the rest after transporting the grain to Mergen. At the same time, he ordered Wu Si to organize some more carriages to pick them up in Mergen. If there were not enough carriages , Let Min Cao dispatch from the neighboring Yask and Udisik.

The cavalry brigade under Zheng Guohui spared [-] horses for pulling carts, so only [-] cavalry were available. Zhao Qiang left a team of [-] cavalry by his side, and Zheng Guohui asked Zheng Guohui to bring back the rest.

The food transportation team organized by Shouyi City included a large infantry group of Wang Sanyou, 400 young and strong laborers, a total of 2000 people, plus captured prisoners and boat workers, there were more than [-] people, and every six people were in charge of a car on average. Therefore, a cart full of grain does not have to worry that the road will not be able to cross mountains and ridges due to excessive load.

After the grain transportation team set off and returned to Mergen, Zhao Qiang set up two defense lines in the southeast and southeast of Sandaotun. Each line of defense was guarded by a hundred Russian soldiers. The rest of the people gathered in the village and simply repaired some fortifications. , stay here to wait for the grain transport team returning from Morgan, so that the remaining third of the grain can be transported back.The total amount of this batch of grain was nearly 2 shi. Zhao Qiang calculated that it could roughly feed [-] people for three to four months. With the addition of the existing grain, there would be no problem at all to survive this winter.But if throwing down the last thousand stones is not lucky, there is still a gap. Zhao Qiang decided not to let a person starve to death, but also to ensure that they are well fed, so he could only transport a catty of food. go back.

Guo Mu'er was still detained in the village, and Zhao Qiang told him that he could only be released after all the food was transported safely, and he had to stay here before that.Life is in the hands of others, Guo Mur has no right to object, so he can only continue to stay behind Zhao Qiang with a smiling face all day long, not daring to take a step away from his sight.Because he came out, Zhao Qiang was the leader of the mob, and those Rakshasa people were the ones who would fight, so as long as Zhao Qiang didn't kill him, his life would be guaranteed.

Waiting is nothing but waiting, so Zhao Qiang chatted with Guo Murer when he had nothing to do. Of course, he was not just looking for someone to chat with, but he wanted to get more information about the Qing army from Guo Murer.
