Chapter 194: The Great Master of Ganzi

"What should I do with breakfast today?"

Although the division of labor with Hu Yingze was clear, but someone was blocked here to ask questions. Zhang Qingshan was a little angry and said in a deep voice: "Eat less food and you won't starve to death."

"But the problem is, I have already slaughtered the fat pig I sent."

In fact, the big pot he brought was smashed by hail, but there was also a big pot being carried by the cook. When he saw the pig, he was so happy that he only asked everyone to kill the pig. He thought the cook had gone to boil water, but the cook went to the cottage with a stomachache and didn't have time to report it. After the pig was killed, everyone found a problem. Then he hurried out to find another connecting pot.

Zhang Qingshan looked at Lao Wang speechlessly, and Lao Wang stared at Zhang Qingshan unfairly, with his eyes facing each other, and he was very depressed: fighting against local tyrants and evil gentry is a natural duty; stealing Chiang Kai-shek's things is a natural thing, but stealing the things of the people is a serious crime of beheading. But the world is big and the belly is the biggest! This is really a big problem.

Helplessly, Zhang Qingshan had to take a few soldiers to buy them from Tibetan compatriots.

Maybe it was because I started early, so I actually bought a four-piece large jar. At the same time, they finally figured out that the locals had no habit of using large iron pots at all. The reason why the blacksmith shop had two large pots was that they were booked in advance by the 32nd Army.

But no matter what, cooking meat in a large jar is also a good choice, and it is better than not.

He happily pulled the big jar with a carriage and then boiled water and boiled meat, and it turned out to be a tragedy.

Before the meat was cooked, the large tanks exploded one after another. It turned out that the local large tanks could not withstand the high temperature of fire.

Looking at the half-cooked boiled meat, the soldiers of the assault company smiled bitterly. I really don’t know what to do when I’m not cooking it?

"What are you doing with a sad face? Can't you eat uncooked meat?" Zhang Qingshan walked to the half-cooked pork and thought about it, "I still don't believe it. Can the meat from the mouth be let go? Even if it's half-cooked, it's better than eating raw ones."

After saying that, Zhang Qingshan's eyes lit up, pulled out a dagger, cut a piece of meat, and roasted it on the fire. He also smiled proudly at the soldiers and said, "Today we will improve our way of eating, so eat barbecue."

After hearing this, the soldiers were happy and stepped forward one after another, cut off the meat with a dagger or a big knife, and roasted it.

Lao Wang and the soldiers from the kitchen immediately gave everyone salt. They were also very happy about this way of eating which was both fresh and cooked meat.

In this way, after the smoke and fire, everyone started to eat "bacon" or "barbecue", which really made a unique taste.

For yaks or other livestock that cannot be eaten, the smaller ones will be held, while the larger ones will use camel weapons and ammunition in the new army, or cavalry for the patients, and then kill them again to improve their lives and supplement their supplies. Whenever they eat beef and mutton and see the role of yaks in the marching, everyone would like to thank the comrades of the Red 32nd Army.

For the lack of a big pot, the parents also thought of a solution: although the people do not have a big iron pot, the local toasts or wealthy heads will have some big iron pots at their homes because they learn from the Han people or want to live a higher enjoyment.

Originally, the Red Army planned to buy them, but what was interesting was that these big chieftains or wealthy heads were afraid of the majesty of the Red Army. Most of them had run away long ago according to the ingredients. These people were definitely among the poor students of the local tyrants. They never expected that the Red Army wanted anything else to bring all the big iron pots in their homes, of course, they had to leave money. This made them very confused. It is said that a big chieftain returned home afterwards, and now there were a lot of other things in the house, and they had not even moved the water. The big iron pot disappeared, but a few silver dollars were added next to it, and there were notes left. He sighed at the time: "I had known that the Red Army was just going to buy the iron pot, so I wouldn't run away."

However, the Red Army has a large number, let alone a single iron pot, many times, there are only two or three iron pots in a ball. There is no way, so everyone has to take turns using it or constantly cook barley mixed with a lot of wild vegetables. Everyone can eat it, and at the same time, treat barbecue as a dish.

After more than a month of marching, on July 2, the Red 2 and Sixth Army gathered in Ganzi City in Xikang Province to meet with the Fourth Front Army in Victory. It was at this time that the Party Central Committee ordered the Second Front Army to form the Second Front Army, including the Red 2 and Sixth Army, to form the 32nd Army into the Second Front Army, He Long as the General Commander Yue and Lan Shi were the political commissar, and Guan Xiangying was the deputy political commissar. From then on, the Red 2 and Sixth Army began to use the number of the Second Front Army.

After the meeting in Ganzi, Zhang Qingshan, as an activist and outstanding soldier of the Red Army, was received by the leaders with nine other people, which made Zhang Qingshan so excited that he almost cried. At the same time, they also received congratulatory messages from the Party Central Committee and the Red Front Army as a unit.

The local government also supported some cattle and sheep, which initially improved the lives of the troops. Especially for those who were extremely tired and urgently needed supplies, it was a timely help.

The assault company is stationed in a small village about ten miles southeast of Ganzi City.

It is said that it is a village, but it is only seven families, which are very sparse and all have a building-style structure: the owner of the yi floor above and the cowshed below.

The people here are even more poor. I heard that because of their poverty, even the heads could not live in, so I took my family to Ganzi City and had not returned for six or seven years. But it is worth pondering that because of the Red Fourth Front Army, these seven families selected new heads, which were actually the oldest elders.

What makes people speechless is that the people here have no culture at all. Even the new head man can only write their own name and recognize numbers. In this way, he is already the most cultural in the village now. And his culture is learned because he was allowed to be a playmate for the old man when he was a child. However, the villagers respect the new head man very much, and even reach the point of blind obedience. No matter when he is grazing, when he gets married, etc., they will bring gifts to ask, or even beg for the new head man. Because in their opinion, only by obtaining the permission of the new head man can we get the blessing and protection of God and have a smooth weather.

But they were extremely simple and even simple and cute: when they saw the arrival of the Red Army, they took out the best things in their homes to the Red Army. Some even would rather go hungry than entertain the Red Army, because this is their respect for the most distinguished guests and also the way for Tibetans to be hospitable. It is not okay if you don’t accept or eat them, which will make them feel insulted and think that you look down on them and will turn against each other on the spot. In the end, Hu Yingze was smart and accepted the yi part of the things, but gave the ocean back to the Tibetan compatriots in the form of a return gift. He also explained to the other party: This is not money, this is a gift. If you don’t accept it, it is a gift. If you don’t accept it, it is considered to be everyone’s happiness.

Only a few families cannot solve the housing problem of the assault company. Although these seven families have taken the initiative to give up their houses, how could the Red Army soldiers live there?

Finally, after both parties refused, Zhang Qingshan ordered: Seven treasures lived in the vacant home, and the rest were all sleeping outside.

Two doctors were responsible for collecting herbs around, and seven babies took turns to take care of the wounded: four soldiers in the assault company were injured again: their big toe was removed, and they were now a little inflamed; their right leg was a little swollen, and they had red and white rice grains. I heard that they were bitten by a spider; they had bloated and diarrhea; in the end, the one was a little better, but they were weaker and they would be able to rest for a while.

The platoon was responsible for logging and building large houses: Although the Red Army had not lived here for a long time, when they saw the seven households in the village, they felt it was necessary to build large houses for them. Now, Zhang Qingshan, who was born in the mason and carpenter, had a place to use his skills and became the commander-in-chief, working hard.

The second and third rows are responsible for collecting wild vegetables and hunting by the way: the cattle and sheep sent by the 32nd Army have already eaten up all the cattle and sheep, and there is not much food anymore, so it is impossible not to replenish them immediately.

There are very few large preys in the local area. I heard that there are only big black bears, but I never encountered them. The second type of large animals is wolf. In the middle of the night, they screamed at the moon and organized the assault company to fight twice, but there were still many. But the most were hares and rats, and they were caught a lot. At this time, the Red Army soldiers had no particular concerns. As long as they ate meat, they would celebrate the New Year, not to mention these mice were very big and tasted very delicious.

The locals only know a few kinds of wild vegetables, and they dare not eat anything else, which makes the Red Army cheaper. They dug up hills every day, and they can't finish eating them, so they just dried them and stored them as dried vegetables, which is also to prepare for the next Long March. The soldiers didn't know, but Zhang Qingshan knew some things about the top leaders through Xiang Xueqin's news: I heard that some of them pushed forward to the north to meet with the three main forces after the Second Front Army and the Fourth Front Army met, and went to the front line of the Anti-Japanese War. Some of them tried to win over them.

, control the Second Front Army to continue to fight against the central route, regardless of the authenticity of the news or the final result, Zhang Qingshan felt that this matter was not something he could participate in. He only knew that whether it was going north or south, he needed to continue walking and walking a long way. As of now, filling his stomach on this road is definitely a big problem, so after discussing with Lao Hu twice, he felt that storing food such as dried vegetables is the most important thing at present.

Three days later, the Assault Company built a three-story civil and industrial house in this small village. Although some wood is not dried and used to build a house without drying, the biggest disadvantage is that its service life is greatly shortened. Zhang Qingshan felt very sorry and could only smoke the house with fire, hoping to steam the moisture in the wood as soon as possible. But he was still very happy and proud of this achievement.

But at this moment, he was called to the headquarters of the 17th Division and participated in a meeting of cadres at the company level and above. At the meeting, Zhang Qingshan deeply remembered two points: the people are the foundation of the Red Army. Now, everyone hopes to unite to fight against the Japanese imperialist invaders, so our Red Army must come forward first. The second point is that going south violates the people and the current environment, and there is no way out.

When I returned to the company, I explained my experience to my comrades, and everyone thought it made sense.

After resting here for thirteen days, July 16th, the troops were about to leave. Before leaving, Zhang Qingshan discussed with several main leaders of the assault company and agreed that before leaving, he would solve a big trouble for the people here.
