There were tanks in the Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 159

There was a vast expanse of whiteness between the sky and the earth.

After returning to Xiangcheng County, Li Chu got another unexpected news.

This heavy snow has sealed off the official road of Fangcheng Mountain, which was in a slightly closed state. Looking at the changes in the weather, I am afraid that the Zhengwan commercial road will be broken a few years ago.

Those in Wang Qing's army lacked clothing and food, and now the roads are blocked by heavy snow, and the weather is so cold, I am afraid that there will be no plans and plans to go east this winter.

In this way, the east and west sides had a temporary truce, which bought Li Chu some time.

Li Chu really has to thank this heavy snow, it fell so timely several times, and it brought good luck to Li Chu.

However, the heavy snow has brought a lot of inconvenience.

The snow was getting bigger and bigger, and the snow was getting thicker and thicker. Li Chu stayed in the city until noon, but some bad news came.

The huts of many people's homes were overwhelmed by the heavy snow.

Not only that, but the snow is too thick, which makes it inconvenient for people to travel.

Moreover, when the heavy snow came, it was freezing cold, and many poor people did not have enough cold-resistant clothes to survive the winter in their homes. Among them, an old man who lived alone was frozen to death in his house.

There were also several lawsuits in the yamen in the city. Some people took advantage of the chaos to steal in the city. Many residents lost their property and made a fuss in the county yamen, asking the Qilin army to decide for them.

Both Tan Cheng and Shen Fatzi dealt with the civil affairs and people's livelihood in the county government, but the result of this treatment was also in accordance with the precedents of previous years, and it did not seem to have any effect.The army investigated the theft in this city, and it didn't take long to catch a few thieves.

Now that the situation in the city is tense, and at an extraordinary moment, Li Chu can only drag them to the intersection in the city after being interrogated in the court, and behead them in front of all the people. This move has received high praise from many people.

For the problem of cold, Li Chu customized a large number of cold medicines, cotton padded clothes and heat patches, chocolate, ginger, brown sugar, etc. through the customization system.

They also changed the carriage into a sled pulley, and pulled a large amount of medicine, clothes, heat stickers, chocolate, ginger, brown sugar, etc., and divided them into [-] teams to visit every village and every household along the road. Lonely old people or poor residents will send cotton-padded clothes to keep out the cold, wheat, rice, ginger brown sugar and so on.

If there are sick residents, the soldiers will help them to boil hot water and drink ginger syrup for them. If the illness is serious, they will be given cold medicine. If it is more critical, they will be sent to the county for treatment quickly.

Although the efficiency of all this is a bit low, and Li Chu's current custom coins can't take care of all of them for a while, try to do as much as possible, but I have a clear conscience.

And for some houses that were overwhelmed by snow, soldiers also sent temporary tents customized from the system.

This heavy snowfall is also the best training for the soldiers. Unknowingly, the inner cohesion of these soldiers has gradually improved. At the same time, relying on these caring tasks can also enhance their inner benevolence and enhance their destination for the Qilin Army.

Li Chu also issued special allowances for soldiers traveling in such severe cold and snowy weather.

The common people who received the relief and help of the Qilin Army held the hands of the Qilin Army sergeants with tears in their hearts. Their inner gratitude was beyond words, and they could only rely on holding their hands tightly, so that the sergeants could feel the hearts of the people.

Those people who did not enjoy the favor did not feel jealous because of it. The actions of the Qilin Army made them feel deeply. When they were in trouble in the future, the Qilin Army would come to rescue them.

Unknowingly, the status of the Qilin Army in the hearts of the people in Xiangcheng County and Rufen Town has risen faintly.

Due to the heavy snowfall, the progress of asphalt road construction was also blocked.

The road from the former site of the old archway in the north of Rufen Town to the Fushui River ferry has been paved with cement roads, but the cold temperature is low this day, which makes the cement take longer to solidify.

The Qingfeng Xulai Hotel stopped the progress, and the construction team and the road construction team gathered in the hotel to burn a fire to keep warm, and there was a cook beside him boiling hot soup.

Printed a large high-altitude shooting map of Xiangcheng County from the system and hung it in the hall of the county government, and then drew an empty area near the north of Jiangdian Town, and assigned this area to Ning Rong. cavalry battalion.

Xiangcheng County is too small to train cavalry in the city.

Allocate some materials to Ning Rong, cotton clothes, tents, etc., and let Ning Rong take them to the marked area to build a cavalry camp.

However, Ning Rong is not in the county seat at this time.

After returning from Yingchang Mansion, Li Chu asked Ning Rong to take two hundred cavalry to brave the wind, snow and severe cold again. Li He's three Jiefang cars also went with him, but the quick response team didn't go. They followed Ning Rong in a car.

I promised Ma Feng last night that I would send someone to go with him to Rushui Plain to pick up the relatives we will meet at dawn.Li Chu can't break his promise to others, Ning Rong understood Li Chu's difficulties, and immediately agreed without saying a word.

Two hundred cavalry, together with Ma Feng's three hundred remnants, plus three Jiefang cars.Fortunately, the area around Ruzhou is now safe, and Li Chu reckoned that they should come back soon.

As for the arrangement for Ma Feng, Li Chu had already thought about it.

Zhuoma Feng temporarily served as Marquis of Yu, the capital of the Qilin Army, and asked him to build a new army. This new army was composed of Qingshuo and the remnants of Qinrong.Except for Ma Feng's [-] remnants, there are still many young knights and many army horses on the Rushui Plain!
Since the two battalions of Qingshuo and Qinrong were moved here, they have been recuperating and developing for more than a hundred years. The population has grown rapidly and is no longer the population of the original establishment. His disciples and horses remained.

This is the origin of the cavalry of the new army.

Li Chu was not afraid of Ma Feng's betrayal, nor was he afraid that the cavalry was too controlled by Ma Feng.After all, they were already on the wanted list at the Song court, and it was impossible for them to go back.Furthermore, Ma Feng was nearly fifty years old, and at this age, he didn't have much time to be in charge of the army.

Li Chu has not yet decided on the new cavalry camp.

As for the infantry camp, Li Chu had already identified a base near the south of Jiangdian Town.

All the newly recruited [-] infantry belonged to Li Han temporarily.

Li Chu handed over the first few volumes of the Seven Books of Martial Arts to Li Han. Considering that Li Han was not very literate, he also gave Li Han the CD version together with the DVD player.Li Han was asked to live back in Lijia Village temporarily, and Li Chu asked Lu Mo and others to help, and pulled a wire from the small power station in front of Li Chu's house to power Lijia Village.

After all, DVD players use electricity to play them.

Li Chu of Xiangcheng County gave Tan Cheng great power.

Li Chu rescued Shen Ning on the battlefield, and he was treated with good medicine. Now Shen Ning has woken up, Shen Yun, the fat man, is very grateful to Li Chu.As for whether it is sincere gratitude or what, Li Chu didn't know, but Shen Yun chose to give in when it came to the county magistrate.

Although the position of Zuo Xianzun is still held, Tan Cheng handles all matters in the county by himself. When Shen Yun is required to come forward, Shen Yun is also diligent.

While Li Chu delegated power to Tan Cheng, at the same time he asked Chen Zu to lead a thousand soldiers to garrison the safety of Xiangcheng County.

The satellite phone on Li Xuan was temporarily given to Chen Zu.

When it was getting dark and it was getting dark, Ning Rong, Li He and Ma Feng came back with Qing Shuo and the people who captured Rong.

PS, I have to drive to the countryside early tomorrow morning, and it is still unknown whether I can return to the city in the afternoon.For tomorrow's update, if you come back in time tomorrow, the update is normal. If there is no update tomorrow, it means that you are still in the country. The owed update will be made up in the two days after tomorrow and the day after tomorrow.

Thanks to the book friends: the poor look down on the rewards and support.
