I traveled through time, starting with two acres of land and a dog

In early spring in Xia Chenjia Bay, cherry blossoms bloom one after another from the bottom of the ditch. This is called "The flowers of April on earth are gone, and the peach blossoms in the mountain temple are in full bloom." The fields are busy under the sun. The villagers digging in the fields will forget about their base from time to time, because they are new things. Since they drove away the bandits yesterday, there has been no action. From their panicked eyes, one can feel their uneasiness.

In front of them was a poppy field. As the temperature rose, the poppies were growing vigorously, and there were three or four new leaves. On the left side of the poppy field, close to the forest, two people were digging the ground barefoot. The woman was wearing a linen dress with patches on top of patches and a black headscarf on her head. The man only had a pair of tattered linen shorts. Two teenagers were also barefoot. They were gathering hay and branches in front and then setting them on fire. Green smoke was everywhere in the bay, and thick smoke was billowing in the shade.

Looking at the villagers in the warm sun and the dilapidated thatched houses, and then at the guard in front, he was wearing straw sandals made of linen, thick socks made of brown cotton on the outside and cloth on the inside, with leggings wrapped around his legs, a cotton shirt inside and a half-new linen jacket on the outside, a cross belt on his back, two cloth bags on his waist, one containing a bomb and the other a bullet bag, a wooden scabbard tied to the right side of his thigh, a tin helmet on his head with a layer of cotton cloth inside and two pieces of cloth to protect his ears, and a gun on his back. He looked very strong and majestic, a sharp contrast.

"Jianqin, the people here are suffering. Almost all of their harvests are handed over to the bandits. Look at this bay, with more than a dozen households, almost all of them live in thatched huts," Du Chenyu said as he sat on Lei Jianqin's back, pointing at a group of farmers.

"Young Master Chenyu has a kind heart. We used to be similar to him. Since following Young Master Chenyu, our whole family has enough food to eat and clothes to wear," Lei said with emotion.

"Xue Chen, go and pass the order. Every family here will be given a bag of grain. If it's not enough, ask Hu Laosi in Laifengbao to transfer it and organize the young people in the village to carry the grains themselves in the cave," he ordered.

"Yes, I'll do it right away," Xue Chen left to organize the people to carry food.

They were basking in the sun on the top of the mountain, and soon they saw men and women carrying baskets on their backs walking towards the mountain. They walked briskly along the way, instantly filling the quiet Chenjia Bay with vitality.

The camp held a summary meeting in the evening, and Du Chenyu asked Shen Shiyu to attend as well.

First, He Chaowu made a summary of the action, and then reported the results of the two actions. They didn't make much money in Laifengbao, probably because they used it to buy arms recently. They only collected about 300 yuan worth of grain, 100 catties of grain, 32 taels of opium, 1 guns in total, and 6 10-shot Mauser rifle, 4 brand-new Mauser rifles, 15 cows, 4 sheep, 3 pigs, and 15 horses. In the bandit cave, they harvested 100 guns of various models, with property worth about 200 yuan, a box of antiques, calligraphy and paintings, 23 taels of opium, and all the grain was distributed to the people of Chenjiawan. A total of male prisoners were captured in the two places.

Then, Hu Laosi continued to add that after a day's statistics, Laifeng had a population of 325 people and the Chen family owned 60 acres of land, all of which were confiscated. The entire family of Chen Jiabao's captives were sent to Youfangba, where they were guarded and reformed. All resistance forces in the area had been completely cleared out.

After interrogation, it was found that the second son of the Tan family had been constantly active outside, wanting to take revenge. He was the one who bought the arms for the Chen family. In addition, those bandits were subordinates of the fourth son of the Chen family. According to the bandits, Chen Laosi had more than 20 guns and 40 to 50 people. He was currently roaming around the north near Shaanxi, Chongqing and Taoyuan.

It seems that the development is quite fast. Du Chenyu's work arrangement has been deployed recently: arrange them to be responsible for electing the head of the village and the head of the village in the jurisdiction to ensure the implementation of policies and be responsible for taxation. The garrison is responsible for militia training and gradually implements the separation of military and political affairs. Then, the minutes of the meeting are conveyed to all parties.

After staying in Laifeng and Chenjiawan for 7 days, Tang Zhihao from Linshuibao's hometown base sent someone to report and handed Du Chenyu a letter with three feathers. This was the level of the letter he designed. One feather was for normal, two feathers were for emergency, and three feathers were for urgent. All people and things along the way had to cooperate to provide manpower and material resources to ensure the fastest delivery. Their transport team returning from Nanzheng was attacked in Taoyuan on Micang Road. More than 6 people besieged them. Among the 1 people, only escaped, and the rest were all sacrificed. They also lost two guns and salt and cloth worth dozens of dollars. Judging from their attire, it was probably the work of the Red Lantern Society.

"Xue Chen, take this brother to have a rest." He had been running at high speed for three hours and was so tired that he lay down. Du Chenyu was also a little confused and needed to calm down. He closed his eyes and thought about this matter. The Taoyuan area in Jizhou County was surrounded by mountains and cliffs. Bandits had been rampant in recent years. He had no idea who was the attacker.

"Someone come here," he shouted outside after a few minutes.

"Master Chenyu," Xue Chen came in.

"Reporter: 4. Immediately send a message to the chairman and arrange for Hu Jiangsheng (Hu Laosi) to collect all the information about the Red Lantern Society and all other nearby forces. Hu Jiangsheng will report tomorrow morning. 50. Immediately order all special service members to assemble and set out in half an hour. . Order Hu Haisheng to try to complete the reclamation and spring planting of Qingshuibao, Chenjiawan and Laifengbao by mid-April, and establish a militia reserve of more than people. . Ask Huang Kunyang to hand over one-third of the property and transport it to Wuying Base. . After we leave, any emergency matters will be decided by Hu Haisheng, Huang Kunyang and Li Long. The minority shall obey the majority. Military matters will be decided by Hu Haisheng, and government affairs will be decided by Huang Kunyang. Please repeat it again." Du Chenyu arranged all the matters in one breath.

Xue Chen repeated the order and prepared to leave.

"Take Shen Shiyu with you, and take away 10 other guns," he added.

"Yes," Xue Chen turned around and conveyed the order.

Half an hour later, He Chaowu had gathered all the teams. After a ten-minute lunch, everyone was ready to set off in unison back to the Linshui base. He sat on a special wooden backpack that he could sit on, lie down sideways, stand up, and stretch out his hands. There was a canvas on it to provide sunshade. Xue Chen carried him on his back and they began to move forward at a high speed.

Shen Shiyu has been in the mountains for many years and has developed a good running skill. He can basically keep up with the team without carrying any equipment. They crossed Qingshuibao and Huodiya, and then to Youfangba, and returned to Linshui’s hometown in about 4 hours. The altitude here is much lower. The sun is golden in March. From the riverside to the middle of the mountain, the green changes from deep to light. In the fields along the riverside, people are busy planting.

This year, he asked his grandfather and second uncle to vigorously implement corn seedling transplanting in the area under their jurisdiction to increase the yield.

After receiving the news that they had returned, Tang Zhihao and his grandfather waited for them on the ridge behind their house. As soon as they arrived, his grandfather carried him home on his back, followed by three guards, and the others went to the training base to rest.

"Mom," he asked his grandfather.

"She went to Wuying and has been gone for more than ten days. She heard that your father caught a cold and was coughing, so she went to take care of him," Grandpa said as he walked.

"Is it serious?" he asked.

"It's no big deal," said Grandpa.

He sat on the stone for a while, his legs were sore from the day's work. "Grandpa, help me cook something to eat. I'm on my way." He sent his grandfather away and prepared to listen to Tang Zhihao's report.

"Master Chenyu, it happened last night. Our caravan stayed overnight in a small inn (an inn for resting and accommodation on the road) at Baitoutan. We were attacked by more than 20 bandits in the middle of the night. Almost all the staff in the inn were killed and all the goods were robbed. Li Erwa, relying on his good skills, jumped down from the building, shot and killed several people and ran away. He then returned to Taoyuan overnight to report the news. The contact point immediately sent someone to check the scene. It was already dawn when they arrived at the scene, and there was no living person in the inn. The local headman brought people to check. Judging from the clothes of the people killed by Li Erwa, it was probably the work of the Red Lantern Cult. Then Li Ergou and his men hired people to carry our dead team members back. They had been on the road across the river for less than an hour, and probably had not reached Wuying Street yet. They were all from Wuying, so I took the initiative to carry them to Wuying instead of bringing them home," Tang Zhihao finished explaining the situation.

"You did the right thing, there is no mistake. Send someone to tell him immediately that I have arrived home. The sacrificed brothers will be given wartime pensions, and Li Ergou will be rewarded once. Also, tell He Chaowu to send someone to the Taoyuan contact point immediately. Pay attention to safety and focus on reconnaissance." After he made the arrangements, Tang Zhihao left.

After receiving the order, He Chaowu asked Du Chenyu for instructions and then set off with five people. Now they are in the dark, and the information collected by the special forces team is the key to their revenge.
