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

Since Chen Laosi and Li Haoran could not return that night and needed to continue to hold the various checkpoints, the celebration party was postponed to noon three days later, and each squadron leader reported on the battle situation and summarized the gains and losses.

After three days of processing, almost all matters were sorted out. The prisoners were sent to Banqiao for custody, and the wounded from both sides were carried to Chongqing for treatment without any discrimination. Du Chenyu brought Sister Xiaowan to check on the wounded one by one in the ward. All the wounded were placed in the township office, which moved many of the wounded to tears.

"What's wrong with him? Why does he need to tie his hands?" Du Chenyu asked

"Master Chenyu, this brother's thigh is broken and he is desperately asking us to kill him. He doesn't want to live anymore," a medical staff member replied.

"Brother, what's going on? Tell me what difficulties you have and we will definitely help you solve them," he asked.

"Brother, this is our captain, Master Chenyu. He can help you. He is also the person in charge here," said Liu Jinglan, the captain of the medical team, as he walked over.

"Master, I am here to meet you, please kill me. My thigh is broken and I can't make money. My old mother is bedridden, and I have a blind wife and a few-year-old child. How will they survive? They could survive before with a little military pay every month, but what should they do now?" As he said this, he burst into tears.

"Hey, what's your name, big brother?" Du Chenyu asked.

"My surname is Liu, and they call me Liu Yaoji," he said with a sob.

"Brother Liu, don't worry, this is a trivial matter. You just rest and recover here. Although one of your legs is broken, you can still weave. From now on, you will work in our weaving factory to support your family. Tell me where your home is, and I will give you two dollars for settling in. I will also lend you another three dollars. You need to pay me back when you work, and I will exchange it for food and send someone to deliver it to your mother. What do you think?" Du Chenyu gave the solution directly, without too much charity or extra care. After all, it was estimated that everyone here had a similar family background, and finding a way for them to survive was better than anything else.

"Thank you, thank you, young master. You are my Bodhisattva. I live in a shack under the biggest stone of Qingfeng Rock in the creek," he said.

"No problem. We will definitely send them there. When you are better, you can bring them here. Brother Liu, how long have you been a member of their joint defense team?" Du Chenyu asked casually, because those who can become militiamen basically have some background and their family conditions will not be too bad.

"Master, a few days ago, someone held up a sign on the street to recruit soldiers. Participants would be given 3 yuan and two liters of coarse grain on the spot, but they had to choose those who were strong. I was chosen because I could run fast," he answered truthfully. It seemed that they were temporary cannon fodder and were ready to die.

"Okay, just take your time to recover and cooperate with the doctor's treatment, and you'll be fine soon," Du Chenyu comforted, and then continued to check the next one.

"Young Master, I kneel down in front of you. You are my living Bodhisattva." When Du Chenyu turned to leave, he forced himself to stand up and kowtow.

"Ah...", the wound opened wider and he screamed again.

"Lie down quickly and don't move," Sister Xiaowan quickly helped him lie down again.

"Brother Liu, don't worry. If any of you have difficulties here, you can tell us and we will do our best to solve them," Du Chenyu announced loudly.

"Thank you, young master. Thank you, young master. Mother, you see, we have met a living Bodhisattva. We, the youngest girl, now have hope of survival," various voices of thanks came one after another.

The day that everyone was looking forward to the celebration finally arrived. In the morning, they first held a battle summary meeting. Zhou Kui made a battle summary report: a total of 580 guns were seized in this battle, including 4 machine guns, 2 mortars, 5 yuan, more than 476 kilograms of grain, 269 wounded and prisoners, 57 people were killed, and 800 people were sacrificed. It was a great victory, and the harvest exceeded all the previous ones, especially the arms captured. Then each team leader made a battle summary speech, and finally Feng Ping reported the local population and land situation. There were more than 3000 households and 1500 people in the Chongqing area, and 4 people in the Yangjiaba area. In this way, the population of the jurisdiction reached .

After the meeting, there was a celebration party. In addition to all the people on guard or on duty, some gentry, guild leaders, and some elderly people from the neighborhood were also invited. More than a dozen tables were placed on an open space next to the township office. These tables were moved from the homes of the landlords who had been cleared out.

There were only four dishes, including stewed dried bamboo shoots with bones and meat, twice-cooked pork with potato slices, stir-fried green leaves, pickled vegetables, steamed buns, and a mixture of corn and rice. The wine was a mixture of sweet potato and corn. Although the number of dishes was not large, there was enough of it.

"Dear fellow villagers, grandfathers, uncles, and brothers, I would like to say hello to you all on behalf of my father and all the members of the Civilian Protection Team. Today, I would like to first toast to the brothers who died in this battle and bow to them." After saying this, he slowly poured the wine on the ground, then bent down and bowed. All the team members who were sitting or standing naturally bowed together.

"The second drink, let's raise our glasses together. I promise here that in the future, we will properly handle and resettle any injuries or property damaged in battle. We will not let you continue to go hungry or cold. You can raise all your difficulties to us. Let's drink together," Du Chenyu took a sip of the wine in the small glass. They all used small ceramic bowls.

"The third cup is to toast to all the fellow villagers who have come to our banquet today. I hope you will support our work in the future. I wish them better lives, good health and all the best. Cheers everyone." He finished all three cups and everyone applauded.

"Just some simple food, everyone, eat as much as you want," Du Chenyu said and turned back to his seat to eat.

The atmosphere was gradually becoming lively, but there was still some restraint, so he ate a little and left, letting them drink by themselves.

He was in Chongqing, and he was also keeping an eye on the situation in Jizhou. According to the news, the city had been attacked in the past few days, so people's attention to the failure of the anti-bandit campaign in the mountains naturally decreased. No one mentioned continuing the anti-bandit campaign, but only asked for more protection in the city. In this way, he was relieved for the time being.

With the arrival of the winter solstice, the nine cold days began. Chongqing was too cold, so Du Chenyu left Chongqing and returned to Wuying with the guard team and the special service team. After returning, his father gave him a pile of official reports. He selected some important ones and returned with some good news. They selected two people, Zhao Zhengming and Wang Bicheng, to be sent to the Chengdu Speed ​​​​Training School. Zhao Zhengming was the son of his great aunt in Linshui, and Xiao Heizi was caught by the Zhao family. Wang Bicheng had a high cultural level and good military performance, so he passed the assessment.

In addition, the Baizhang base introduced a gun repair technician and several college students. Of course, these things were successful because they have recently become rich. After reading the report, I instructed that talents are priceless, continue to increase the budget, and do everything possible to introduce talents. The current shortage of talents directly restricts our development.
