Vow to die at the end of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 148 Days in the Mountains ([-])
After choosing the name, Qiu Tianxing was in a good mood, he said to Zhou Xiu.

"You are pregnant, you can't sit at home all the time, you have to go out and walk more, so that you can give birth."

In this era, cesarean section is not possible. Once a mother suffers from dystocia, it is not far from the gate of hell, and the family will face the problem of whether to protect the older one or the younger one.The most unfortunate possibility is that there will be two more graves in the cemetery.

Fortunately, apart from being reluctant to exercise, Zhou Xiu doesn't eat much.Although this will cause malnutrition of the fetus, it avoids the possibility of macrosomia.

After dawdling for a while, Zhou Xiu was finally persuaded by Qiu Tianxing.But as soon as Qiu Tianxing opened the door, a gust of cold wind rushed towards his face.Zhou Xiu immediately shrank her neck and said coquettishly.

"It's so cold, husband, I still don't want to go out, so let's take a walk inside."

"No, the air outside is fresh, the room is too stuffy, it's not good for the baby to stay for a long time." Qiu Tianxing said with a blush.

Helpless, Zhou Xiu had no choice but to go out.With Qiu Tianxing's support, he walked down the steps step by step.

Because it is located in the middle of the mountain, in order to prevent moisture and snakes, the house has to be built on high ceilings, and the bottom is about two feet high.In order to get in and out of the house, you have to climb up and down the stairs.This was also one of the reasons why Zhou Xiu didn't want to go out, it was too inconvenient to climb up and down the stairs with her belly outstretched.

Walking on the rough and uneven road, Qiu Tianxing carefully supported Zhou Xiu.He was very thankful that this escape did not repeat the mistakes of Yingshan last year. This is really a gift from God to him.The last time the child was stillborn, Zhou Xiu had already been hit hard. If it happened again this time, Qiu Tianxing was very worried that Zhou Xiu would not be able to bear it.Moreover, medicine is underdeveloped in this era. If there is another miscarriage, it is possible to lose fertility from now on.In this era, this is a fatal blow to a woman.

Being supported by her husband to walk, Zhou Xiu felt sweet in her heart, and couldn't help but think of the scene when the family of three took a walk in the future.

It has only been a few days since the headquarters of the security regiment came to this place.When I first came here, although it was a forest, the land was flat and the trees were sparse.There are high mountains on the east and west sides, but there is a large flat land on the north and south sides.Simply tidy up, it is a good place to set up camp.In particular, there is a small waterfall on the mountain, which continuously provides water for this valley.

Therefore, Qiu Tianxing decided to stop here.After several days of fighting by thousands of people at the headquarters, trees were cut down, roots were dug up, and a large piece of land was leveled.Over a hundred houses, large and small, were built on an area of ​​about ten mu of land.

Of course, thousands of people cannot be housed in the more than 100 houses in this area.In addition to several people or even more than ten people living in a house, there are also a large number of people living in tents.At this time, expanding the house is the biggest task at present.

So, looking around, Qiu Tianxing felt that the camp had become a construction site.Crowds gather together to divide and cooperate.Some are responsible for felling trees, some are responsible for digging soil, and some are responsible for sawing bamboo and pricking bamboo.The atmosphere at the scene was soaring and clamoring.

Not everyone is obsessed with revenge, and what a considerable number of people want is to live well.Just because the security regiment occupied their hometown, they were tied to the anti-Tartar chariot.After the security group was defeated, firstly they had heard that the Tartars would massacre the city at every turn, and secondly, they also believed what the preachers said, thinking that the Tartars would come and kill every commoner who had helped the security group.Therefore, in order to survive, these people followed all the way to Mount Ying, and then from Mount Ying to Dabie Mountain.

Now after entering the Dabie Mountains, they seem to feel that they have come to a paradise, where there is no war or killing.Sufficient supplies and a huge group allow them to survive in this mountain forest and reproduce from generation to generation.Driven by this idea, they are particularly motivated to build.Even many regiment members, women, and children were inspired by their enthusiasm.

There are now 4000 people in the headquarters. In addition to more than 2000 regiment members, there are 100 family members, 600 civilian staff, more than [-] orphans, and nearly [-] villagers.In addition to some old and weak women and children with limited mobility, a total of [-] people participated in this construction.A lot of people means a lot of strength. Under the trumpet of shaking the sky, everyone worked hard with all their energy. After the thick trees fell, the area of ​​the camp expanded rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.Of course, the comrades of the Ministry of Civil Affairs also played a key role in it. It was their organization that greatly improved the efficiency and avoided the waste of human resources.

It's mid-November now, and although it hasn't snowed yet, the weather is still very cold.After walking dozens of steps, Qiu Tianxing sent Zhou Xiu back, and then walked back again.

He stared at the fiery construction scene of his comrades, his heart was surging, and he wished he could join in.But he knew that his direct participation in the construction could only serve as a boost to morale, and he was not even as good as an ordinary regiment member in terms of actual work ability.

So, Qiu Tianxing stood quietly in the corner, looking at the fiery scene in his eyes, thinking about the future plans of the camp in his heart.Not only did he want to build the camp into a solid fortress, but he also wanted to make use of the city layout he knew from his previous life to make his comrades live more comfortably.

"Well, we need to build four gates, so it will be more convenient to travel."

"The roads in the village need to be wider and the sewers. Forget it, let's dig drainage ditches, so be realistic. There should be two public toilets on each street, one in the middle of each street, and one at the end of the street and the adjacent street."

"Bathrooms also need to be built. There must be one bathhouse for every 100 people. Anyway, there is a lot of wood here, so just cut it down."

"There are a large number of bamboos on the mountain. You can try to use bamboo to bring the spring water from the mountain into the village, so that the water will be much more convenient."

"Four gates, each gate is occupied by a battalion, oh, a squadron. The third battalion, fifth battalion, seventh battalion, and a squadron from the Ministry of Public Security are in charge of each gate, and the guard battalion sits in the center. Military Academy The School of Political Science and Law will also be housed in the stockade.”

"If you want to build a big stockade, let's use moso bamboo as a wall. It's simple and can prevent wild animals."

"Two small villages will be built outside the stockade to accommodate the thousand villagers, so that it will be more convenient to leave the stockade to farm."

In this way, in Qiu Tianxing's mind, the future of the village became more and more full.It is foreseeable that in the near future, the headquarters of the security regiment, Qiu Tianxing's various ideas will be realized one by one.
