It has been more than twenty days since Li Mingyuan inspected Passu Fengdu. Compared with the previous period, the appearance of Passu Fengdu has undergone many changes.
The simple wooden houses and wooden sheds are filled with retired soldiers who have been resettled. The uneven dirt roads are paved with gravel.
Each household's planned resettlement courtyard is surrounded by a circle of branches and separated from the surrounding neighbor's land.
In the open space outside the immigration settlement, more than 2,000 retired soldiers were divided into more than 40 queues, holding various weapons such as muskets and swords for tactical drills.
The three-in-one armed system of the field army, the garrison, the reserve militia, and Rio Grande do Sul means that after soldiers retire, they still have to perform armament tasks in the garrison and reserve militia.
The garrison is equipped with a certain scale of regular weapons, while the reserve militia uses old-fashioned muskets and cold weapons such as broadswords and spears that have been eliminated by the field army.
According to regulations, the garrison holds concentrated training once every ten days, and the reserve militia trains for three days in January. However, some time ago, the construction work of Pasu Fengdu was urgent, and the garrison and the militia mainly composed of retired soldiers did not have time to train, so the training was concentrated
Training was postponed until construction tasks were completed.
In the training queue, a one-armed man with a thick short black beard walked back and forth, correcting the soldiers' wrong movements from time to time.
At noon, Passo Fundu was still warm in winter. Chinese soldiers who had been training all morning had sweat oozing from their faces. He Yanliang raised his right arm and looked at the position of the sun on his forehead. The strong sunlight suddenly shone brightly.
His eyes were a little blurry, and after he lowered his head to adapt for a while, He Yanliang summoned an officer and announced a temporary rest.
There were five to six hundred young women standing outside the training ground. After the training unit was disbanded, the women waiting aside came into the training ground noisily and greeted each other with simple wooden dishes and chopsticks.
He Yanliang walked to the outskirts of the training ground and when he was about to walk forward, he heard a familiar cry. He turned around and saw a woman in her twenties walking towards him with a slightly pregnant belly.
"Stop and don't move, I'll go there by myself." He Yanliang responded loudly, speeding up his steps and returning to the woman's side.
"I told you that you don't have to deliver the food in person. Why are you still here? You have the seed of Lao He's family in your belly now. What if something goes wrong!"
"Ni, the pheasant that Bu... yesterday brought to Nibu's body." The woman said intermittently in the Chinese she had just learned.
"I understand, listen to me next time and don't run out. If you want to eat, I will go home and eat by myself."
Seeing his wife's aggrieved look, He Yanliang couldn't bear to criticize, and said with a gentle face: "You are pregnant, eat more meat to replenish your body." He put the meat in his bowl into the woman's wooden bowl.
"Xiexie." The woman replied in non-standard Chinese.
He Yanliang felt very satisfied having dinner with his wife.
His wife was not introduced by the headquarters, but picked up while in Paraguay.
At that time, He Yanliang led a small force to explore the situation along the river. When they passed a Paraguayan village, there were only more than a hundred elderly women left in the whole village. Due to the long-term lack of food, the surviving Paraguayans were weak and even lost their ability to move.
.
He Yanliang joined the Chinese uprising and killed many people, but the people he killed were all hostile soldiers who oppressed the Chinese. Looking at the more than a hundred old and weak women with desperate eyes in front of him, He Yanliang decided to leave part of the food for the Paraguayans.
Distributing grain and a few wild animals caught on the way to the Paraguayans, when He Yanliang was about to leave, a pair of hands grabbed his legs.
He still remembered that a thin woman with disheveled hair was holding on to his leg and kept saying unintelligible words. He couldn't understand the Paraguayan woman's words, but he could understand the strong will to survive in the woman's eyes.
clear.
Looking at the eyes of the strange woman at his feet, He Yanliang was moved. He took the Paraguayan woman back to the military camp on his own initiative. At that time, the Chinese Independence Army had just entered Paraguay and Li Mingyuan had not yet had the idea of absorbing Paraguayan women, so He Yanliang was punished.
, but the Paraguayan women he brought back were allowed to stay and were placed in the main logistics force of the field army.
More than half a year has passed since he rescued the Paraguayan woman. The woman he rescued became his wife, and now she has a child.
The Paraguayan woman who was rescued is a descendant of Spanish whites and Indians. No one knows her original name and no longer uses it. Her current name was given by He Yanliang by asking scholars in the army. Her name is He Xiaolan, an ordinary Han Chinese.
Female name.
I learned from my wife that she once had a child who died of illness during the war, and that her husband also joined the army just one year after their marriage and died in a battle on the front line.
All her relatives died in the war, and He Xiaolan lost her support. If she had not met He Yanliang, she would have starved to death in the village where she lived. However, He Yanliang's arrival aroused her desire to survive, and she seized the only opportunity in front of her to survive.
She succeeded, and He Yanliang took her back and saved her life.
War does not belong to women and children. Because of war, ordinary people are displaced and their lives are in danger. At this time, what women want is just a chance to live. Whether this opportunity is given by Paraguayans or Chinese, as long as they can live, they have no right to choose.
, can only be accepted passively.
At the end of the dynasty, foreign invaders invaded. Even the Han women who admired their loyalty and unyielding were robbed of millions by the barbarians on the grasslands. However, how many Han women fell into the hands of the barbarians chose to commit suicide to save their honor? Most of them did so voluntarily or involuntarily.
Live.
At the end of the Han Dynasty, Cai Wenji was plundered, at the end of the Jin Dynasty ethnic minorities went south, and during the Anshi Rebellion, hundreds of thousands of Han women were plundered from Huihe. All these things, the plundered Han women were integrated into the Hu tribes, and a large number of newborns grew up twenty years later.
Strengthen the power of Hu people and become the main force of the younger generation of Hu people.
If women from a civilized nation are like this, can we expect Paraguayan women without clear national concepts to do better?
After eating the lunch that was delivered, he watched his wife leave. It was still about half an hour before the afternoon training started. He Yanliang left the place where he was eating and walked to the foot of a dense sappan tree nearby.
Not long after Zhao Yang came to the hemlock tree, he saw He Yanliang walking over and said with a smile, "Why is General He in the mood to come here if he doesn't go to train and inspect his soldiers?"
"Sir, don't make fun of me. I'm here to ask you if there are any tasks coming from above. I'd better arrange manpower in advance and be ready."
He Yanliang smiled and sat next to Zhao Yan, "To be honest, sir, I used to suppress bandits in Hexi County (Santa Maria). After the mission was over, I took the initiative to ask for orders to go to Pasu Fundu, in order to complete the mission assigned by the prince as soon as possible.
Back to the field unit, but you see it has been nearly ten days since the Passo Fondu incident was completed, and there has been no movement from Xinjing (Porto Alegre), so I can only ask you for help."
Zhao Yan looked at He Yanliang and said curiously, "The Brazilians recognized the land we occupied and made the crown prince the Duke of Rio Grande do Sul. A big war will not be fought. It's hard for our brothers to live a peaceful life without fighting."
Have a bad day?
If you also marry a wife and have a child soon, wouldn't it be better to be a local army commander in the garrison and accompany your wife and children than to join the field army?"
"It's really nice to be with my wife and children, but Lao He doesn't want to live like this for the rest of his life."
He Yanliang shook his head and said, "A man should gain merit on the battlefield and build a prosperous and powerful country for our old brothers, wives and children. As for accompanying his wife and children, when Lao He can't go to the battlefield, he will naturally stay at home with his wife and children."
Together."
"It's admirable that General He thinks this way."
"Haha, I heard it all from the prince. I remember a few sentences even if I hear them too much." He Yanliang said with a sarcastic smile.
"General He wants to return to the field army, and I just have good news to tell you."
Zhao Yan took out a piece of paper with a large seal and said, "Three days ago, conflicts broke out between Paraguay and Argentina in the Misiones area. In view of the continued deterioration of the local situation, the National Defense Forces have insufficient defense forces in the San Pedro area. Special
The 1st Mixed Brigade was ordered to go to the conflict area to station troops.
He Yanliang, the former commander of the 1st Guard Brigade, dedicated his duties to annihilating bandits in Hexi County, completed the construction of Pasu Fundu on time, trained troops, and was prudent and meritorious. He was awarded the title of Deputy Brigade Commander of the 1st Mixed Brigade by Lieutenant Colonel He Yanliang.
He serves as the commander of the first regiment of the first mixed brigade."
"He Yanliang obeys the order!" He Yanliang stood up quickly and took the letter of acceptance from Zhao Yan with a serious expression.
"General He, congratulations on getting what you wanted."
Zhao Yan stood and said, "General Wang led the First Mixed Brigade to set off this morning and arrive at Pasu Fengdu in the afternoon. I am here to inform you to go back and prepare. After the First Mixed Brigade arrives, you will meet with them."
And leave, while there is still some time, go back and say goodbye to your wife."
"What about the garrison and militia here?"
"Don't worry about the soldiers. Xinjing has made arrangements. New officers will take over after you leave."
"That's good." He Yanliang stayed with his soldiers for a short time, and felt a little reluctant to leave suddenly.
Before leaving, He Yanliang briefly explained the reason to the soldiers, and quickly left the training ground and walked home.
