Chapter 344 The First Army in the World

Although the Mengyin administrative department is very complete, the county government has the Civil Affairs Bureau, the Police Bureau, the Finance Bureau, the Taxation Bureau, the Water Conservancy Bureau, the Agriculture Bureau and other institutions, but they are all grass-roots teams.

The leaders of each department are in place, but each department is empty.At most three or four people, to be responsible for all the work, it is really hard.

Fortunately, these officials are young and full of enthusiasm. They were not intimidated by difficulties, but immediately put themselves into work.

When the party also took office as a new official, the first deployment made was to investigate the situation in the county.

The southern border of Mengyin County is at the foothills of Mengshan Mountain, so most of the entire county is in the valleys to the north.

Like Shangdongmen, where the public house is located, it is almost forty kilometers away from the county seat.In the north of Shangdongmen, there is still a large area belonging to Mengyin County.

This has resulted in the situation that Mengyin County has more mountains and less land, and the agriculture is barren.

In the rainy weather, Dang Huanchun, Qi Biaojia and others got into the mountains and started a arduous visit.

In the mountains in summer, because of the cloudy and rainy days, the temperature is very low. Even if you wear a shoji, after walking for two or three hours, all the clothes on your whole body will be penetrated.

Qi Biaojia only felt that her whole body was about to freeze, and she had to say, "Stop...stop, let's stop and rest."

Others had already thought of this, and when they heard the words, they immediately dispersed, looking for a place to hide from the rain.

They have all learned common sense and know that they can't hide under a tree on a cloudy and rainy day, so they searched for a long time, and they found a raised rock.

When resting, the first thing everyone does is to eat to recover their strength.

There's no better food than chili for such tiring and cold times.

Everyone nibbled dry food and chewed a mouthful of dried chili peppers.The clammy feeling subsided as soon as the scorching flames rushed from the stomach all over the body.

Qi Biaojia was no exception and ate three peppers in one go.

It's not easy for him, a native of Zhejiang.

The first time he came into contact with chili peppers was two days ago, and his life was worse than death.But after struggling in this difficult environment, I gradually got used to it.

After eating two buns, Qi Biaojia felt more comfortable when she felt her forehead start to sweat.

Seeing that other people were still eating, he let go of his head and thought of his wife and children who were far away in Linqing.

This time to Mengyin to take office, the couple really discussed for a long time.

Originally, Shang Jinglan intended to follow him to take office, so as to take care of his daily life.But after careful consideration, Qi Biaojia let his wife and children stay in Linqing.

His eldest son Qi Tongsun is eleven years old, and his schoolwork is at a critical moment.If he followed Meng Yin, he was busy with work and would definitely not have time to teach.

The second son, Qi Lisun, has also reached the age of Mengxue, and is in need of a famous teacher.

And to say that the place with the most famous teachers is naturally Linqing.

Pity the hearts of parents all over the world, for the future of their children, the couple had to choose to live in two places.He came to Mengyin to take office, and Shang Jinglan raised the children in Linqing.

Qi Biaojia is really nice to Shang Jinglan.

In the original history, he served alone and lived alone.His friend Gao Yiruo came to visit and saw that he was tortured by insomnia, so he planned to give him a beautiful maid, so that he would not feel lonely and desolate.

But Qi Biaojia thought of Shang Jinglan, and sternly rejected Gao Yiruo's kindness, saying that she was not a womanizer.

In February of the second year, Shang Jinglan came to meet him, and in December, their third child, Qi Bansun, was born.

It seems that Qi Biaojia is not not a womanizer, but can abide by etiquette and affection, and can be a decent gentleman.

Much stronger than someone Wang.

One after another, everyone finished eating.But looking at the muddy mountain road, everyone still had lingering fears.

"Director, are we going forward?"

The person who spoke was Gong Chi, the son of Gong Heng.

Gongdian and Gongsu need to manage the family business, and even if they enter the county government, they will not be able to make much use.It doesn't matter as a young man like Gongchi, he has been honed in the county government for a period of time, and then after he goes to the government affairs class in Linqing for further studies, he can become a political party.

Ke Rao, as a local, was also frightened by this difficult mountain road.

In fact, Qi Biaojia was also a little timid.

Although Zhejiang has many mountains, he is used to walking on mountain roads.But in the past, leisurely outings and visiting the mountains and forests were completely different from going forward in the wind and rain today.

But when he thought of Zuo Menggeng's ardently agreeable eyes that day, Qi Biaojia knew that he couldn't back down.

Heaven will send great responsibilities to the people, and the hardships they endure now are for the sake of greater achievements in the future.

"There are only two mountains left and right. Let's walk all over in one go today, so we don't have to run again, don't we?"

His eyes were on the officer beside him.

That was the team that Zuo Menggeng sent to protect them. The team leader was called Deng Xinghui.

Deng Xinghui laughed and didn't care.

"Before leaving, the battalion commander had an explanation. We have to listen to Director Qi on this trip. You can do whatever you want, don't worry about us."

Qi Biaojia was very ashamed of this free and easy energy.

Although these people are very hard, they are not burdened.The few cloth bags on his back were nothing but documents.

Unlike these soldiers, everyone carried guns and ammunition, and it turned out to be easier than they were.

Not to mention, the person with the most weight didn't complain, and Qi Biaojia couldn't even admit it.

A group of people walked into the wind and rain again and walked towards the depths of the mountain.

"Director, the place we're going is called Rongbangya, and you can walk along this small river. After passing Rongbangya, there are two more villages, and we will reach the border of Mengyin County."

Qi Biaojia was overjoyed to hear that the trip was coming to an end soon.

"Then let's work harder and go back as soon as possible. I'll invite you to drink."

Hearing that the director wanted to treat guests, everyone cheered, and their footsteps became a lot lighter.

Going retrograde along the river and walking for a while, Deng Xinghui found Qi Biaojia.

"Director Qi, there's something wrong with this river."

Qi Biaojia didn't understand hydrology and couldn't see anything.

"What's the situation?"

Just as Deng Xinghui was about to explain, everyone suddenly felt the earth tremble, and the direction of the river in front of them seemed to have countless beasts roaring.

And the most conspicuous is the river water that has suddenly accelerated a lot in front of him.

Deng Xinghui's spirits ran wild, and he shouted frantically: "Run, run to the high places on both sides, the mountain torrent is coming!"

Everyone was also frightened, no longer caring about the road, and quickly retreated to the heights on both sides.

As soon as I climbed to the half slope, I saw the rolling yellow dragons coming from the sky and covering the earth, filling the entire river valley, and going straight downstream.

The places where everyone had walked had been submerged under the torrent. If they took a step forward, they would no longer know where they were being washed.

"Captain, look, there is someone in the water!"

The sharp-eyed soldier found something and shouted.

Everyone followed the directions and found that in the rolling torrent, there was a cloth shirt floating and sinking in the water from time to time.A woman tried desperately to catch something, but in vain, she could only be carried down by the flood, and she did not know where she would be taken.

Deng Xinghui didn't have time to think about it, and shouted, "Rope!"

Immediately, a soldier untied his rope and handed it to him.

Deng Xinghui quickly removed the equipment on his body, tied the rope around his waist, and rushed into the water.

Qi Biaojia was terrified and hurriedly stopped her.

"Captain Deng, I can't save you."

Deng Xinghui pulled him away and shouted, "If you can't save it, you can save it."

Qi Biaojia has been with him for the past few days, and admires this cheerful young man very much, for fear that something will happen to him.

"You will die."

Deng Xinghui's feet had already stepped into the water, and he turned around and smiled.

"No life, no life. I was born from a bitter child, and my parents have long since passed away. I was given a name and warned me that we fight for the sake of the common people. Therefore, if the common people are in danger, we will be saved no matter what. ."

After he finished speaking, he plunged into the water with a dash and rushed towards the woman who was getting closer.

Standing on the shore, Qi Biaojia was speechless for a long time, watching Deng Xinghui, who was swept up and down by the flood.But the shock and shock he received deep in his heart would accompany him for the rest of his life.

For his understanding of the army, he got it all from books.

The Yue family army, who freezes to death without demolishing their houses, starves to death without looting, is the ultimate fantasy of the army as recognized by scholars like him.

In addition, Qi Jiajun, who did not commit any crimes, was also praised by the world.

As for the armies in all parts of Ming Dynasty today, Qi Biaojia owes not even a single comment.

But right in front of him, Deng Xinghui and others opened up a whole new world for him with practical actions.

Seeing that Deng Xinghui, who was doing his best in the flood, desperately grabbed the drowning woman, and was hit by the wood in the water in the middle, he didn't let go, Qi Biaojia understood...

The new world that Zuo Menggeng said will definitely be realized.

With the presence of the first army in the world, nothing is impossible.

He woke up, without saying a word, grabbed the rope next to him and put it on his body, and then rushed into the water.

Together with Deng Xinghui, staggeringly dragged the unconscious woman away from the gate of hell.

The surging flood washed away not only the world, but also the obstacles in people's hearts.
