Chapter 16 Open warehouse and put food

"Who are you?"

Yang Feng looked at the coolies in confusion.

The unlucky Huang Qianhu was kicked into a warehouse by those soldiers who were like wolves and tigers. Wang Bao, who had been kicked in, raised his head and looked at the newcomers with welcome eyes. Their team is growing stronger and stronger! But they are also considered to be in trouble. Fan Bingbei's face these days is like a girl in the rebellious period learning to put on makeup. It almost every day can make people see different excitement...

Well, I was actually beaten by General Wang.

Poor Fan Bingbei, who was well-educated and had a Jinshi, had a clear gap with Marshal Wang in this regard.

And the coolies looked at each other...

"If you say goodbye, the young people are all boatmen who come to make a living and are hired to transport grain to the capital."

One of them mustered up the courage and saluted tremblingly.

They were wearing torn cotton coats with a very tolerant appearance in the late Qing Dynasty photos. The cotton shoes on their feet were also torn like a pile of rags made of torn cotton rags and leather. Several of them probably couldn't even wear cotton shoes at all. They were wrapped in various rags on their feet and stuffed them into straw sandals. They were pushing the car before, but they were still warm when they were not working, but now they stood there without working, trembling with frigid faces, and looked like the background boards in zombie films.

"Can you eat enough on weekdays?"

Yang Feng said.

The coolies continued to shivered, but no one answered him.

"Brother Yang, it would be great if they could live with their lives at this time. How dare they eat enough? In winter, they would just have a few meals of thin soup and water a day. Even if they could eat enough during the river opening season, it would be rare. Go to those boatmen's villages to ask, which village will starve to death in winter."

Xu Shou said.

The snow was slightly smaller at this time.

More than three thousand Qi's army has quickly occupied this warehouse.

Yin'erwan official warehouse or later Beicang is composed of many warehouse areas, which are all selected for a high terrain on the shore and will not be flooded. At this time, there is no moisture-proof gate at the mouth of Haihe River, and the tide backflow is faced every day. Moreover, the Tianjin area is originally a place where half of the Northern Zhili River converges, and opposite is the vast Triangular Lake. The lake with a circumference of more than 200 miles is entirely relied on the canal embankment to completely turn this area into a marina. Once the flood season is flooded and tides, it is customary for Tianjin to produce heavy water. Only the north shore area has a few highlands, and the warehouse areas centered on Yin'erwan are stretching for nearly ten miles across these highlands, but the largest one is here.

More than three thousand Qi's army easily controlled Yin'erwan.

As for the soldiers stationed at the garrison, they all squatted aside with no resistance.

The coolies lowered their heads, and one of them sighed and wiped their tears.

"You go back now and tell all the boatmans you can tell, and say that I will open a warehouse and release grain here, so that they can come and receive food."

Yang Feng said.

The coolies looked at him in shock.

"Don't you understand? Open the warehouse and release grain to help the hungry people. Those hungry boatmen can get food as long as they come over. Don't you want to have enough food? I'll let you eat enough food immediately."

Yang Feng said.

While he was talking, he stabbed open the grain bag from a car beside him, then grabbed a handful of rice from it, grabbed it in his hand and slowly scattered it. It should be the new rice this year that jumped and rolled on the grain bag. The coolies' eyes were also staring at this thing, and they were simply staring at them, and some people even swallowed almost instinctively...

Rice!

Even if they can eat, most of them are actually cheap grains, especially sorghum and various beans, or even rice bran, and all kinds of wild vegetables.

Real white rice?

Even brown rice is not easy to eat!

"But this is official grain."

A coolie said carefully.

"Ha, you are so good people. Now you are almost starving to death. Instead of wanting to have enough food, you are considering the officials and thinking about the official grain. Are you still thinking about sending you a plaque to the people in the future? Or just like rewarding the so-called ritual widows, plaques for you so that people in the future can remember that you would rather starve to death alive, or even starve to death with your wife and children than to move a grain of food in the government? If that is the case, you will not use it. I will fulfill your filial piety to the officials."

Yang Feng said.

"Let's go, and ask the brothers to come over when they go back. They're almost out of the way. If someone releases the food, we will get the food. I'm mahjong. Even if I behead my head, I have to be a full-fed ghost first."

A coolie said gritting his teeth.

Then he turned around and left...

"Just leave like that? Don't carry a bag first, don't say you can't carry it."

Yang Feng said.

The coolie looked at him in surprise.

Yang Feng patted the food bag next to him with a knife.

The coolie immediately rushed up and then carried a sack full of rice. With him, the other coolie rushed up and soon carried the sack one by one. At this time, even if there were still those who tried to keep their sanity, they would not be able to continue to control it.

Soon all the coolies carried sacks and disappeared into the wind and snow one after another.

"Don't forget to tell other boatmen, tell them that there are more than 100,000 stones of grain here, and everyone who comes will have a share."

Yang Feng shouted from behind.

"Brother Yang, are you?"

Xu Shou asked in confusion.

"You will know tomorrow. Don't worry, I have a sense of responsibility."

Yang Feng said with a smile.

"Brother Yang, there is a team of cavalry crossing the river in Tianjin!"

Li Wuyi hurried over and said.

"Can the soldiers of Tianjin Guard fight?"

Yang Feng asked.

"Well, they are all military households, so how can they fight?

Like them, they are just a military name. In fact, they are all farming, digging rivers and planting trees on the canal, and driving boats. Since I came to the north, I have never heard of the three guards in Tianjin. However, there are soldiers who can fight here, but they are all in Gegu, where there is a coastal defense battalion with more than 2,000 people. At the beginning, I took a whistle brother to train. But to mention, it is just a little stronger than these. The battalion soldiers of the coastal defense battalion were transferred by military households, but after our training, but many years have passed, I am afraid that it will not work anymore."

Li Wuyi said.

"Then don't care what they are doing. I fire a few shots to drive them away. By the way, I will tell them that the brothers are just passing by. If they don't want to die, just be more sensible. Let the brothers rest well. We have to continue to go to Beijing!"

Yang Feng said.

He never thought of occupying Tianjin. It was winter at this time, so it was useless.

As for coming here...

He just felt that the momentum of three thousand people entering Beijing was not enough.

No matter how many people are, they will have to be decent.
