"Quick! Quick! Get clothes, hot water, soap for the warriors! Quick!"
Lu Zhengdao's voice was trembling. Did the naked man in front of him swim over from the river?
Walking on the mountain path naked? How could there be such a person?
"Also, needles and knives. Scissors are the best." Sun Qiang saw blood seeping out of someone's feet and felt distressed.
"Tell the people that we are here. The main force will cross the river tomorrow." The person who recruited the soldiers knew his task.
"Yes, yes, yes. Shout and spread the news." Lu Zhengdao agreed. He also understood.
"His Majesty's private army is here! His Majesty's private army is here! Tomorrow, the main force will cross the river …"
Lu Zhengdao's people shouted first. Other people formed teams and went to other places to tell the people.
The people from the provincial government were the first to get the news. They thought it was the Winged Knights.
"That's great. The Winged Knights are here. I knew His Majesty would miss me."
"Why are you so shameless? Does His Majesty know who you are? "
"I'm a citizen of the Tang dynasty. I'm His Majesty's citizen."
"So His Majesty is thinking of me."
"Go to sleep. We'll see tomorrow. The rain is neither heavy nor light. It will delay things. Let's just get rid of the heavy rain. When the sky clears up, we'll go down the mountain and build a new house."
"I fell asleep just now. You woke me up when you shouted. I'm energetic now."
"Go back to sleep. Sleep well!"
The people who were woken up were not angry. Instead, they were happy.
"The three of us were rowing in front. The light could only shine a little. It would light up for a while and then it would turn dark.
We didn't think about anything. We were just rowing. The people who swam in the water couldn't see anything because there was no light.
At that time, we didn't feel cold. When the rain fell on our faces, we felt numb. You guys don't know. I've been ferrying people all year round. If we were to talk about this river … "
The station's constable was not tired. He looked at the recruits who were cleaning their feet and talked to Lu Zhengdao.
Don't be fooled by how tired and frightened he was. His body was exhausted, but he was still full of energy.
Lu Zhengdao nodded from time to time. He wanted to know how the people in the Yangtze River survived the rain at night.
All the people in the provincial government came to listen. They were relieved like the people.
His Majesty's private army was not only the Winged Knights, but also the recruits.
They were both soldiers, but why was it different when they became His Majesty's private soldiers?
One hundred recruits were tending to their wounds. At night, there were only three diesel lamps. The range of illumination was small, and it was difficult to travel on the mountain.
Those who had thorns, blisters, or cuts on their feet were all scalded with boiling water first.
When the wood is burned, clean it with scissors, knives, and needles that have been burned.
After that, it was washed with soap. The other parts of the wound were washed white, revealing the red flesh inside.
When the rest of the troops arrived the next day, they would leave the other drugs to dry at night.
Tomorrow morning, after collecting the information, he would wrap the silk that was steamed in the steamer when he wore his shoes.
The others looked at the wounds and grimaced. In order to be more agile in the water, they didn't wear anything. Even though they knew they had to climb the mountain, they still climbed it step by step.
Then, he looked at the hundred people. Their expressions were calm, as if they were not the ones who had attacked him, nor were they the ones who were injured.
"You, you guys don't feel pain?" A military officer frowned and asked. He could feel the pain just by looking at them.
"Pain? How could it not hurt? We are also people. "The leader of the hundred people raised his head and glanced at the other party.
"If it hurts, you can hum a few times. If it really doesn't work, you can shout loudly. I have been injured before. Shouting makes me feel much better." The military officer gave an idea.
"Can Her Majesty's private army shout? Don't talk about broken feet. Even if your feet fall off, you have to hold on. "
The leader curled his lips. What kind of joke was this? If we shout in pain, the people will be worried.
… …
The long night eventually passed. The dark clouds couldn't block the sunlight.
Even though the rain was still drizzling, the light still came on time.
The troops on the north shore began to feed the horses. They looked for the surrounding vegetable fields and crops and let the horses in to eat.
When the horses were almost done eating the green plants, they fed them some concentrated food, including the puffed high-grade horse food made with the popcorn stick machine.
The others found boats on the shore and requisitioned them. When they returned, they would ask the Li Family Zhuangzi to subsidize them.
The recruits on the south shore bandaged their feet and walked in boots. Their trousers were placed outside their boots to prevent the water that fell on their trousers from entering their boots.
After they understood the situation, they stood on the opposite shore and blew the horns and beat the drums to pass the information over.
The young and strong people followed along. There were also bailiffs. They tore down the houses and sent all the wooden planks and boards to the shore.
The boats that were pulled ashore were pushed back into the water. They were prepared to tie them up with ropes and lay down boards.
There had to be at least three rows of boats. The waves on the river were big. A row of boats swayed and swayed. It was easy to make people dizzy and fall into the river. It was impossible to hold on to the ropes.
A portion of the horses had to go over to carry things. At the same time, they could be used as foot strength to check the situation in other provinces and deliver things to the people.
As for the horses that stayed on the north shore, they had to go to other places to find things to transport to the disaster areas.
The role of military horses was shown. They were obedient.
If it was a donkey, it would be easy to throw a tantrum. It wouldn't move when it was led, and it would be beaten back. It also needed to be coaxed.
"Tear down my house. Tear down my house. My house is close to the river."
"My house is good. There are no holes in the beams."
"Don't want the doors and walls in my house."
"Keep the walls. When we're done using the doors, we'll put them back."
"Don't keep them. Tear them down so we can build new ones."
The people fought to tear down their houses and build better ones. The Chang 'an Li Family Zhuangzi gave them money.
They also wanted to tear down their houses and at least build a new house.
"Tear down the yamen first." Lu Zhengdao was as smart as the people.
He had wanted to build a yamen for a long time, but he couldn't find the money. He wanted to take this opportunity to clean it up and live comfortably.
Therefore, he first tore down the county seat of Jiangxia in Ezhou. Then he tore down Mianzhou across the river. Next, he tore down Hanyang County.
The two county yamens were closest to the river. The prefectural government was close to the river. If there was a war, the officials would be at the front line.
In addition, the pier by the river was suitable for docking. There were many people coming and going. It was convenient to manage the government there.
At the same time, boats of similar sizes were connected to each other and sent into the river. There were people on the side pulling ropes to prevent the boats from being washed to the shore.
When it was almost noon, the two sides threw ropes. The last boat was stuffed in and boards were laid out. The pontoon bridge was completed.
The boats of the six factions were fixed with ropes and wooden boards. They were nailed with nails. However, they were not nailed too tightly. Otherwise, the waves in the river would break the fixed position.
"Quick, let's ride over. Keep a distance and grab the ropes. Send the compressed biscuits to the people of Ezhou first."
The leader of the ten thousand people gave the order. The horses were led onto the bridge one by one.
At this time, the horses were steadier than the people.
The people on the other side had already received the compressed biscuits. They were reluctant to eat them. They kept them and waited for the crucial moment to fill their stomachs.
The first batch of biscuits was not delivered. Instead, it was medicine. The medicine was used to treat the foot injuries of the one hundred brothers in the suicide squad.
The soldiers on the other side knew that their brothers were injured. If they walked barefoot on the mountain road at night, there would be thorns and stones. They could not avoid them.
The wounds on their bodies were secondary. Their feet had to bear the weight of their bodies.
