Chapter 193 Defeat South Vietnam
After knowing that the issue at the dock had been resolved, Jiang Tangtang did not rush back to the dock. Instead, he planned to wait until the grain in the cave was transported out, and then use the Ying family's secret cave as a pretext to transport a batch of grain to Yazhou.
Lu Shiyan has to be busy with the battle and arrange the transportation of grain, so he will be very busy tomorrow.
Jiang Tangtang was not idle either. She decided to use her time in the barracks to improve the soldiers' health.
In addition to secretly adding spiritual spring water to the water tank in the kitchen, she also often took people to the homes of ordinary people to purchase it.
The ten pigs that I bought from Nie Dali were also delivered. They were all big, fat pigs with strong bodies.
Jiang Tangtang asked Zhang Ming to kill five of them and cook them for the soldiers, and keep the other five.
In addition, he gave money to the person arranged by Lu Shiyan to contact Nie Dali, asking him to continue to find excuses to buy poultry from Nie Dali. Regardless of whether it was pork, beef, mutton, chicken, or duck meat, as long as the money could buy it, he would buy it.
Nie Dali quickly realized that the person who came to him to buy a pig was not his eldest son who was getting married.
Only a wealthy family with a lot of money can afford to buy so many poultry.
Rich families with abundant financial resources all have their own trustworthy servants, but the one he interacted with obviously did not look like a servant from a wealthy family.
After observing a few more times, he quickly guessed that the people who came to him to buy pigs were probably the soldiers led by Lu Shiyan.
After that, he not only ran around the countryside every day, trying his best to buy what Qi Jiangtangtang wanted, but also tried to lower the price as much as possible.
More and more poultry are sent to Jiang Tangtang.
Jiang Tangtang had someone build a simple shed on the back side of the mountain and kept the fish in the shed for the soldiers to eat.
In addition, we select some that are suitable for breeding and send them for cultivation.
The livestock sent for breeding were divided into two parts: one was sent to Zhounan Village for breeding, and the other was sent to the island.
Jiang Tangtang often secretly took out weeds, sweet potato vines, and spiritual spring water from the space to feed the animals.
Therefore, these animals were not damaged after long-distance transportation. In fact, if they were only kept for a few more days, they would become fatter at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The soldiers also discovered that the livestock raised by Jiang Tangtang tasted better even if they were boiled in plain water without any seasoning.
Everyone felt that their health had improved, and they were very energetic during daily training, and even more brave when fighting against the enemy.
The enemy was defeated several times.
The South Vietnamese soldiers suffered repeated setbacks and their morale was low. On the contrary, the soldiers on Lu Shiyan's side had high morale and now had the upper hand.
Lu Shiyan took the opportunity to recapture several cities occupied by South Vietnam, and the South Vietnamese soldiers were forced back to the South Vietnamese border.
During this process, cities such as Lizhou also fell into Lu Shiyan's hands.
However, just as the foreign enemies were driven away, internal strife began again.
Xiang Wanlin was devastated because all his family property was lost, and his alliance with the Xiao family failed, so he lost his qualification in this fight. However, several generals who held military power in Lingnan were eyeing Lu Shiyan covetously.
Lu Shiyan had taken out the map of the secret vaults of the major Lingnan families that day. Jiang Tangtang saw him studying it and immediately rubbed her hands excitedly, "Is it time to take action?"
The news that the gold and silver in Xiang Wanlin's warehouse were taken away by Wong Tai Sin through magic to help refugees has now spread to every corner of Lingnan.
When people talk about it, they all praise Wong Tai Sin for his spiritual power. Some even kneel on the ground and pray to Wong Tai Sin for protection whenever they encounter difficulties.
Jiang Tangtang, the fake Wong Tai Sin, found people's behavior a little funny, but he felt relieved when he thought about Xiang Wanlin being scared to insanity.
These officials not only fail to serve the people, but also persecute the common people. They should be taught a lesson.
Of course, the most important thing is that she has been spending money like water recently, busy with infrastructure construction, developing the breeding industry, and establishing her own caravan...
The silver taken from Xiang Wanlin's warehouse had been visibly decreasing. And the jewelry, calligraphy, and other items could not be touched for the time being. Otherwise, her fake Huang Daxian would be exposed.
Lu Shiyan looked at her eager appearance, and the corners of his lips curled up unconsciously, "Look, where do you want to go?"
Jiang Tangtang said, "Anywhere is fine, but I think it's best to go to General Song's secret vault first."
General Song is a petty person, but because she refused to work as a cook in his mansion, he has been making things difficult for Lu Shiyan and wants to kill him.
Now that greater interests are involved, I'm afraid he will not let them go.
Instead of waiting for him to make a move, it would be better for her to make the first move and take the initiative into her own hands.
Lu Shiyan thought the same as she did, and nodded immediately, "When do you want to go?"
"Wait a moment, I'll make some arrangements. We'll set off immediately after I'm done. We'll try to start tonight."
Jiang Tangtang walked out excitedly, almost jumping up and down. After a few steps, she remembered and reminded him, "Just like last time, let's change our outfits. Hurry and get ready."
Lu Shiyan laughed, "I know, I'm still a father!"
Jiang Tangtang glared at him, "Shameless!"
Lu Shiyan said innocently, "How am I shameless? Didn't I pretend like this last time?"
Jiang Tangtang didn't bother to pay attention to him and quickly walked out of the house.
After defeating the Nanyue people, Lu Shiyan led his troops to garrison the border, and Jiang Tangtang followed.
At that time, after Lizhou was occupied by the Nanyue people, it was completely destroyed.
The Nanyue people didn't want military rations anymore, so they just robbed the people of Da Zhou. After that, they set fire to their houses.
As for the civilians who did not escape, if they were girls, they would be abducted and raped, and if they were children or the elderly, they would be killed directly.
The fields and streets were littered with rotting corpses.
Fortunately, it is November now and the temperature has dropped significantly after a few rains, otherwise the smell would be simply unbearable.
Even more serious is that if these bodies are not handled, there is a high risk of spreading the virus. Not only do the bodies need to be handled, but the water source also needs to be sterilized and disinfected.
Therefore, Jiang Tangtang arranged for people to make masks to cremate the bodies, and arranged for other people to purchase quicklime for comprehensive disinfection.
He also put the spiritual spring in a porcelain bottle, saying that it was a magical medicine specially prepared by a miracle doctor, and asked people to drip a few drops into each well.
After confirming that the South Vietnamese had been driven away, the people who missed their homes and were reluctant to leave their loved ones began to return one after another.
People of this era value burial and cannot understand Jiang Tangtang's practice of burning the body to ashes.
Whenever these returning people saw corpses being burned, they would cause a commotion.
But Jiang Tangtang was adamant that the body must be burned, and that the people could take the ashes home if they wanted to commemorate the deceased.
Before setting off, Jiang Tangtang had to give instructions to her subordinates, asking them to strictly follow her regulations and explain the reasons to the people.
