Li Dan and Yan Siqi's fame are not unknown as long as they care a little about the world. After saying this, Wang Yining felt relieved and said: "So that's it. There are too many people here. More than 1,700 people died of cold and hunger last month. The lower officials took people to collect corpses everywhere every day. The more they calmed down, the cooler they were. It would be better to be taken away by them. We can save a lot of money here. Bayi Middle School (Text>]."

Mao Wenlong snorted and said, "How can there be such a cheap thing? Wang Tongzong, you think they take away all Ding Zhuang. Although Ding Zhuang eats a lot, he can do things and chooses soldiers and auxiliary soldiers. Ding Zhuang takes them away. The old and weak are left to us. The people who can use them are gone and there are too many mouths to eat. Wouldn't you be compensated? I owe Zhang Han a favor. Wang Tongzong knows this. It's not easy to refuse them in person. You can deal with this matter. Ding Zhuang they took away must have a small family. If you want to leave, the whole family will take them away."

Wang Yining bowed and said, "The general made a decision in this matter very well. Leave it to the official."

After Wang Yining said that, he left in a hurry. Wang Wenlong knew his temper and must have negotiated with Yusheng's people.

Mao Chenglu flashed out and said, "Entertainment Father, this stupid scholar is really pedantic and hindered. Why not find a way to kill him?"

Mao Wenlong sighed: "It cannot be done for the time being. He is Governor Yuan's man. He sent here to monitor us. The court has not sent a military supervisor to the public now. We cannot cause trouble ourselves. If we kill him, the eunuchs, the Jinyiwei, and the civil servants, we will all come. At that time, we will be much more uncomfortable than we are now."

Mao Chenglu looked unhappy and stomped his feet and said, "Oh, this is something that happened..."

...

There are many people who are also unhappy, and Li Shouxin and others are just very unhappy.

Not long after Cheng Fang left, Wang Yining, the magistrate of Denglai, ran over to find them and asked He Yusheng to recruit people from his family when recruiting people, otherwise even a single strong man would not be able to take them away.

This is another example of Dongjiang tearing up the agreement. Of course, Li Shouxin was not happy and ran to the General Army's Office to ask for a meeting. This time, even Mao Chenglu did not see him. Only a guerrilla general named Mao Yongshi ran out to smooth things over. Whether Li Shouxin or ridiculed, Mao Yongshi was spitting on his face and was not angry no matter how he said it. As the saying goes, he doesn't hit people with smiles. Li Shouxin and others have no choice but to do anything about Mao Yongshi's appearance.

The other senior generals of the Dongjiang Army were either on patrol or getting sick, or avoiding him. Li Shouxin and others were so popular that they could not speak of.

Mao Wenlong had already taken Mao Chenglu and others to patrol the islands and asked when he would be back. Of course, no one could explain it clearly.

"I can't delay it anymore," said Nie Lei, a military and political officer. "When the ship arrives, we still haven't picked it alone. Could it be that we can't let it go?"

Liu Hong, the commander of the regiment, also said: "Although Dongjiang Town is unreasonable, if you think about it, they have their reasons. We may have more than a few thousand strong men, and it seems that it is not appropriate to take all the strong men away and leave them all the elderly and weak to others."

Nie Lei nodded and said, "That's the reason. Besides, we recruit Ding Zhuang for war, women, children, young and old are Ding Zhuang's family, so we don't have to worry about morale. In addition, Taiwan has established a foundation and lacks manpower. I have gone to see these so-called old and weak in the past two days. The elderly are fifty years old, and the young are very few infancy."

Nie Lei sighed and said, "The Liao people are so miserable."

Everyone was speechless. Everyone knew what Nie Lei said and understood it well. They knew the reason.

On the way to escape, hundreds of miles away, thousands of miles away, there were pursuers, rain, snow, wind and frost, and no excess wealth, no excess food, harsh natural environment, diseases, wild animals, and hunger. Under such conditions, these refugees who were able to escape successfully, except for a very small number of people, were mostly very strong in physical condition and extremely strong in resistance!

Li Shouxin made a decision: "We are in a hurry to follow the power. Now we have to report to the Lord. After receiving the reply for at least one month, we can't wait. After a while, Nie Junzhengjun went to find Mao Yongshi and Wang Yining, and then he said that we and Yusheng agreed to their conditions."

At this time, Wen Zhong sneered and said, "We will definitely be rewarded for what we do today in the future."

"Yes!" Everyone said: "Sooner or later, this game will be won back!"

...

"It's New Year." On the desolate island, several officers and soldiers from Dongjiang Town walked outside the military camp with firecrackers. Where the crowd gathered, they lit the fuse with the whistling wind.

The crackling sound of firecrackers sounded. Even on this deserted island, even those who were dying after escaping and hunger a few months ago, were still dying, and at this moment, there were still many people with smiles on their faces. Only a few people who lost their relatives a while ago still had indifferent expressions on their faces. Only after time slowly rinsed over, these people would return to their normal life trajectory.

The island is very large, but it is very desolate and silent. There are no forests and rarely crops in the land. It was originally a place where fishermen fished along the river mouth in Liaodong to rest and hide from the wind and dry nets. Mao Wenlong has been here for more than two years. Dongjiang Town has been in existence from scratch. Most of the islands of dozens of miles have been opened. Simple military camps, decent yamen, schoolyards, warehouses, and the Imperial Temple and Yuewang Temple in the middle of the island. There are only a few scholars on the island, and it is also the military town. Therefore, the temples of these two gods were built early, and buildings that exist in Ming cities such as the Confucius Temple and the Academy are not seen here.

There are no cemeteries on the island, and all those who died on the island were thrown into the sea. In order to avoid the plague, this is the only way to deal with it.

Amid the sparse sound of firecrackers, the crowds on the beach were surging, and people were empty-handed, feeling particularly sad. The New Year worship of ancestors was originally very grand. Even if they were hungry, they should not be careless to provide offerings to dead ancestors. During the New Year, when visiting relatives and friends, they first check whether the offerings on the altars in the main hall were rich. At this time, people can only empty their hands, and there are not even an altar or a god card. There are families who have recently lost their relatives, which are even more sad. They can't even find the graves, and they can only lie on the beach and kowtow and cry. They are really sad.

"Oh, this sound is really unheard. This ghost... is so cold!" Lu Da wiped his face, and there were tears in the corners of his eyes.

Huang Yu'an's face was as cold as blue. At this time, it was the coldest time in Liaodong. The average temperature was below minus twenty degrees Celsius, and the sea surface was full of large chunks of ice. You can imagine how cold the weather was. There was no cover on this island, and there was only an empty wilderness. The officers of Dongjiang Town also had houses and fire pits to avoid the cold. Ordinary people could only live in caves. There was a lot of people in a hole, and it was difficult to turn over. People could only use this method of warming each other's body temperature to get a glimmer of vitality.

People's faces and hands are covered with animal oil. Liaodong is vast and sparsely populated. There are not many wild animals on the island. There are some meat on the ground, and the meat is divided by Need and the officers. Ordinary soldiers and auxiliary soldiers are difficult to eat meat. There is a lot of oil. If there is too much, it will be useless. Large pieces of oil are cut and melted by the people, and then a thick layer is applied on their faces and hands. If this is not the case, large areas of frostbite will appear. Even so, frostbite and so on are inevitable.

The people of Yusheng have been prepared for a long time, which is also the lesson learned from Cheng Fang and others after suffering losses. Huang Yu'an, Lu Da and others are wearing rabbit-haired or wool fur coats, thick gloves on their hands, and long boots with fur on their feet. The hat has also been changed to a thick hat, which can be said to be fully armed.

Even so, Lu Da and Huang Yu'an suffered a lot. If you want to talk about the temperature, Datong is also low. The temperature on the grassland is no higher than that on Liaodong. But this is an island with very strong winds, making people feel cold. And even on the grassland, everyone is in Juntaidun Fort. It is not like when they are active on this island, it is simply cold to the core.

After hearing Lu Da's words, Huang Yu'an said: "We wear so thick clothes, don't be cold anymore. What do you think when the Liao people hear it?"

Lu nodded and said, "Yes, so."

At this time, Zhang Chunniu came over, nodded to Lu Da and others, and said, "It's time to start."

A group of Dongjiang officers came over from a distance. Zhang Chunniu glanced at him and said, "Everyone is more energetic. Don't let others watch the fun and see the jokes between us and Yusheng."

Lu Da nodded, turned to the new recruits sitting cross-legged behind him, and shouted: "All stand up, look left and right, and line up in a column!"

Roars came one after another, and the more than 3,000 recruited people are now only half of them, divided into more than ten companies.

Before the soldiers were picked up, the only ship was brought by Li Shouxin and others. Fortunately, there were a lot of supplies and I was not worried about the slaughter for a while. As for more ships, I had to wait until Cheng Fang and others delivered the news to Tianjin before talking about it.

Since they couldn't get away for a while, officers such as Li Shouxin decided to conduct initial training for recruits on Pi Island. The situation will not be very good when they arrive in Taiwan. Every day is precious.

On Pi Island, training of soldiers with Yusheng has become a scenic spot. Not many people started watching it. Dongjiang Town also had holidays during the Chinese New Year. Almost every day, many officers and soldiers from Dongjiang Town came to watch the fun.

"Which side is left? Didn't he teach you?"

Lu Da picked up the rattan and slapped it on a Liao citizen. The man was beaten and quickly turned his face to the other side.

"Align, don't worry about the distance, just align with the people on both sides of your left and right!"

Now the simplest queue is trained. I have been practicing this for several days. In addition, the column walks step by step. A dozen companies are divided into columns every day, and queue training is constantly carried out in the open space.

Fortunately, Pi Island is big enough to make trouble with Yusheng people.
