Zheng Yuan's idea was correct. Although many soldiers understood what Zheng Yuan said at first, they had not yet come to their senses. However, on the way to Xinbu Township, these soldiers gradually understood and realized ,In the end what happened.
Datang, or His Highness, was actually willing to launch a war against another country for the deaths of five of their mere mountain people, just to get them justice and revenge.
Just five mountain people! Not to mention Your Highness, even they themselves, when they lived for their own tribes, five people in the tribe were killed by another tribe, I am afraid that their tribe may not avenge them.
But now His Highness is willing to go to war for five people!
Although they are the ones going to fight, and although they may die fighting, who wouldn't want to fight for such a highness and such a country?
Amula looked at the situation in front of her in stunned silence. They hid with Ningshan's caravan for two days, and then a Datang army of several thousand people arrived.
The leader of the army was Captain Feng Li of the Pu'er County garrison.
"Captain Amula, I already understand the situation here. Now you have two choices. The first is to go to Pu'er County with Ningshan's caravan and settle down in the county. Someone will prepare relevant houses for you there. and food.”
"The second is to temporarily accompany us back to Xinbu Township. Don't worry, as long as we are here, no one will hurt you. However, when you choose the first option, you also hope that some people from your militia will follow us. Go to the front line as a guide." Feng Li said seriously.
The first option is obviously safer, but the reason why Feng Li gave the second option is that Feng Li knew that there were not many troops in Mangbu and Wangbu, and if the mountain people army here fought head-on, Feng Li would face three He can guarantee victory against multiple enemies!
Whether it is Mangbu or Wangbu, they do not have so many soldiers, so there is not much danger for them to return to the local area. After these people return to the local area, Feng Li can quickly help them restore and build the local situation. , and more wizards can be used.
In addition, Feng Li doesn't know what the follow-up situation will be, but their army responsible for border security is estimated to not be withdrawn for a long time. It would be better if there were civilians stationed around the troops stationed at the border. It can relieve some of the troops' emotions.
After communicating with the tribal chief and now the township head, Amula chose to follow the Tang army back to Xinbu Township.
Because that is their hometown, even though they have only lived there for more than a year, all the houses there were built with hard work by them, and the surrounding farmland was also cultivated with hard work.
It's just that they don't know what's going on at home now, and they are worried. Although Amula knew that the enemy had destroyed their hometown, he only dared to look at it from a distance, and did not know the specific situation without being there.
"No problem, then you can follow us." After Feng Li saw that they had made their choice, he immediately sent a thousand soldiers to help the old, weak, sick and disabled. The entire Xinbu Township only had about 500 people.
It took almost another day for Feng Li and the others to arrive at Xinbu Township, but in fact when they arrived here, the scouts had already scouted the surrounding area.
After they arrived here, Feng Li asked Amula for a few more people to serve as guides, and then ordered the investigation company to lead them to quickly expand the scope of the investigation.
In fact, these reconnaissance companies are also mountain people, so there is no problem without a guide. However, if there is a guide, they will naturally be faster and become familiar with the surrounding environment faster.
Feng Li and the others looked at the ruins of Xinbu Township and began to comfort the people of Xinbu Township and help them rebuild their homes.
The entire Xinbu Township is basically equivalent to a village in the mainland, and those people burned down almost all the houses in the village, and almost all the houses were burned down to the ruins.
Many people in Xinbu Township cried bitterly after returning. After all, this was the house they had worked so hard to build, and it contained almost all their family property that they could not take away.
When they fled, all they could take with them was some food and the clothes and bedding they had on them. Most of their things were left at home because they were afraid that the enemy would come at any time.
But now, everything is gone, home is gone.
The point is not only that their home is gone, but also the surrounding crops have been destroyed. The surrounding fields are high-yielding rice provided by His Highness. They planted this rice last year with a high yield, feeding the family more than 20 acres. Rice is enough, and one hundred acres is not needed at all.
In fact, it is impossible for them to plant rice on all 100 acres, because they cannot grow it. They will also grow some other crops here, such as hemp crops, sericulture, and experimental planting of medicinal herbs.
Now, all the medicinal materials, rice, etc. have been almost destroyed. Even if not all are destroyed, there is not much left.
For a while, the people in Xinbu Township were confused because they didn't know what to do next.
Feng Li naturally saw this scene, but he did not stand up immediately. Instead, he let the people vent their emotions first, and then quickly communicated with the political commissar.
"Captain, the total number of residents in Xinbu Township is only 117 households. There is no problem for our 4,000 people to vacate more than 200 tents. We will set up tents for them first according to the principle of one tent for two households."
"Then I mean, we organized soldiers to help them cut down bamboo, trees, and help them start preparing building materials."
"The winter here is not too cold. Although there is snowfall in the surrounding mountains, there is no snowfall here in a plain. According to nearby villagers, the plants in these places are green even in winter."
"To build a house here, bamboo and trees are all building materials, but they must be dried in the sun. If that doesn't work, we will send people to Pu'er County or Kunming Prefecture. I remember that our engineering soldiers of the Tang Dynasty army learned how to dry them. Of dry wood.”
"Whether there is going to be a war or not, their houses will definitely be built. Now that we have a reconnaissance company in front of us to do the investigation, we don't have to worry about safety issues. We can help them cut down enough wood before the order is issued. "Political Commissar Wang Meng said seriously.
"No problem, but the communication issue will be left to you, the political commissar. I'm not very good at communication." Feng Li agreed decisively. Naturally, the political commissar is best at this kind of thing.
