And the leaders like Qi Baoer were not idle either. They sat down to discuss the upcoming itinerary and the problems they had already faced.
Lieutenant General Lin stood up first and said, "Prince Xian, we don't have enough food. We don't dare to drink the water in the river. We only have two carts of water left."
Regarding water, Qi Bao'er had to say that Deputy Lin was the best.
The border town is surrounded by snow-capped mountains all year round. Although there is a river, the surface of the river is covered with ice for most of the year. Therefore, several large and deep water cellars were specially dug for water use in the Liancheng Army garrison.
If the water in several water kilns is stored when the river ice melts, the entire border city army will not have a problem with water for a year.
When they were migrating to the mountains after the acid rain, it was quite shameful that Qi Bao'er didn't even think about the problem of drinking water, and neither did anyone else. Only Vice General Lin thought of both food and water, and led the army.
People with good skills hid dozens of waterwheels in caves and sealed the entrance to the water cellar as tightly as possible.
The water truck brought up the mountain allowed everyone to survive the acid rain; and his tightly sealed water cellar allowed everyone to survive until now.
The only pity is that the acid rain has corroded everything exposed to the outside. The only vessels that can still hold water are the waterwheels that Deputy General Lin hid in the cave, the water bags carried by the soldiers, and the border towns.
The small containers that the common people and the victims of the White Crane Country carried when they hurried up the mountain, such as small water bladders and earthen jars of bamboo trees.
Together, they couldn't take away all the water in the water cellar sealed by Vice General Lin, and the water that could be taken away would not last long for a large team of nearly 100,000 people.
General Wei coughed a few times, panted slightly and said: "Whatever grain is left will be made into dry food and distributed so that everyone can save some food. The same goes for water. Give it to each person and let them do it themselves."
Let’s do it after careful consideration.”
It's not that I don't want to care about everyone, but this involves another topic of this meeting - all kinds of man-made troubles on the way to 'escape'.
With Prince Xian in the team, and Prince Xian walking like everyone else, neither the officials nor the soldiers dared to behave too much towards the people and victims. They dared to scold, but took action...
I have some scruples in my heart.
Maybe everyone has the problem of "taking responsibility for their noses". The government officials and soldiers were polite to the people and victims of the disaster. On the contrary, these people not only dared to make demands on the government officials and soldiers, but even dared to attack them.
It's polite to use pity to ask for food, housing or water.
To be honest, they don't even have enough food and drink for themselves, but they can take care of the people and the victims. They don't dare to say the word benevolence and righteousness, but they have a clear conscience so far.
As for other things, they are in trouble now, so they can't take care of them; there are some things that they can only turn a blind eye to.
For example, a son robs his wife, children, and children of food and water, another example is an old lady who feels sorry for her grandson and keeps her own food and drink close to her grandson but drinks herself to death, another example is a biological father who actually gives away his daughter for a sip of water, etc.
There were tens of thousands of civilians and disaster victims, and all kinds of bad things were happening all the time, which made General Wei, who wanted to lead them to survive, already exhausted.
Obviously the things they distribute can keep everyone alive.
Qi Baoer glanced at General Wei, whose face was abnormally flushed. She knew that this man was not in the right mood all the way here. It was possible that he was injured and had a fever, so his brain was not normal.
She ignored General Wei, who was having a childish temper, and turned around and ordered Vice General Lin: "The food from the imperial court is in Liancheng. You can take someone with Twelve to get it later. As for water, order someone to search for it in the city to see if there is any."
The water from the deep well is still drinkable.”
"You can organize some people with good character and go to every house in the city to check. It seems that there is anything useful left. Let's borrow it for now."
What?
Is this an order that a prince with a title of virtuous should give?
Lieutenant General Lin thought he was so thirsty that his ears were ringing, and he looked at General Wei in confusion.
General Wei raised his foot and gave him a kick. Just now he looked like he was on the verge of death, but now the force of this kick was quite strong. It almost knocked Lieutenant General Lin out of his feet, and he staggered for a moment before he stabilized himself.
"Go quickly."
Really, he is brave and resourceful, but he is too straightforward.
There was such a strange scorching rain in the border towns. These two cities must be abandoned. Anyway, this will not have much impact on the border. It is just a push inward where they are stationed.
In those abandoned houses, wouldn’t the contents inside have become ownerless?!
They don't talk about "not taking advantage of the common people/spreading needles and threads". Many soldiers in the border city army have done this kind of thing on weekdays. Although we don't associate with them on weekdays, we should treat them specially in special times.
Ha, when he thought about it, he felt relieved. That was peace of mind.
Lieutenant General Lin also felt comfortable after being kicked by him. Without a word, he turned around and ran to carry out the order.
Qi Bao'er looked at General Wei with a half-smile, making General Wei look a little embarrassed as his face had returned to a serious one.
Fortunately, Qi Bao'er didn't mind what he was thinking. She was the one who originally gave the order. When it comes to people who like "zero yuan shopping", she is the originator. When she was four years old, she took her father and her grandfather from Ying.
You can buy it all the way from Qijia Village in Zhouzhou to Pingcheng for zero yuan.
However, in order to prevent people from 'deifying' her too much, Qi Bao'er used the excuse of taking a rest and went to Liancheng's official/official granary to take out half of the grain from the space.
As for water, it's not easy to help. There can't be a water tanker hidden in the granary. It doesn't make sense.
As for other places, there is no other Vice General Lin in Liancheng, and there is no such thing as a water cellar at all.
Even Qi Baoer's order to find a well just now was just based on luck.
Although Liancheng is not as cold as the border city, the temperature is also not high. The water in the well that Bala dug with great effort will be basically frozen in winter. It is better to just pack the snow and melt it for use.
After Qi Baoer took a 'rest', Lieutenant General Lin had already led the soldiers back pushing carts of sacks filled with bulging grains, and the whole yard was filled with cheers.
Lieutenant General Lin also had a rare look of joy on his face, "Brothers, there are not only rice, noodles, vegetables, but also meat. Everyone can make it in the evening when they are full."
"Oh, oh, oh~~"
The soldiers were very intuitive in their joy and anger. When they were excited, they would all hold up whatever they had in their hands and scream.
It is said that it is possible to achieve fullness, but the reality does not allow it.
Although there is a lot of food, if it is just for their existing border city army of more than 10,000 people, it will be enough for a month and a half; but now there are not only the Liancheng army, but also the people of the border city and the victims of the Baihe Kingdom, there are more than 97,000
people.
Just roar to get everyone excited and boost their energy; the fact is, you still have to save what you need.
But what makes Lieutenant General Lin most happy is that in addition to the ones he just shouted about, there are also several large carts of medicinal materials.
There are some things that people don’t dare to carry or even think about.
Although a wise prince came to rescue this acid rain disaster, both the border army and the people in the border town still suffered heavy losses.四
In other words, if Prince Xian hadn't taken action, their border town would have become a dead city during the first acid rain.
