The first is positioning; Meng Jiucheng does not regard himself as a savior, nor does he want to become a Virgin. It is already a kindness to rescue refugees, and it is reasonable to ask them to repay them.

The second is organization and management; whether it is food, drink, defecation, construction of living places and defense facilities, formation training, patrol, production and self-rescue, only by working together and scientific management can it be efficient and orderly.

It is said that there are two points, but in fact, only the second point needs to be implemented immediately. The first point is just ideological understanding, which Meng Jiucheng has already had.

After seeing off Qiao E, Da Chou and Sanming, Meng Jiucheng and Mu Yi, Chen Daotong discussed it, and after dinner, he began to implement it.

Although it was cold and the refugees had not fully recovered, in the face of war, who knew when an accident would happen again. No matter how much they did, they had to take action.

Register and organize, team group, select group leaders, and work detailed planning... Meng Jiucheng had already thought of various measures at night. Mu Yi, Chen Daotong, Mu Xiaowei and others helped each other. After a while of trouble, it seemed to be orderly by noon.

The sun's face was white and the ground was covered with snow. The trees beside the mountain road were covered with snow. A breeze blew, and a piece of snow dust rose.

Meng Jiucheng chose the place where the roadblock was set, and he could see the Taoist temple upwards, and he could look down at the main road when turning a corner.

The roadblocks are also very simple. First, pile the snow on the mountain road and shoot it to make the passage narrower. The branches of all sizes are tied up and placed on the snow pile. Then, use a large iron pot to burn snow water and pour it on the branches. It is both frozen with the snow pile and forms a hard and icy sliver that stretches out randomly. The principle is not complicated. In ancient times, there were frozen cities and ways to strengthen defense.

In this way, walking up the mountain road can only accommodate one man and one horse, and you have to move forward in a tortuous way. Even if there are many enemies, it is difficult to rush up.

Of course, this is only temporary, and it is roughly cultivated, but it is better to save time and can also give refugees in the Taoist temple a sense of security.

This season is really - Meng Jiucheng is also helpless. The ground is very cold and it is very difficult to dig by manual digging. Digging trenches can only be done later.

Looking back, the Taoist temple in the distance seemed to stand in a strange atmosphere, with a vast white area around it, like a lonely boat in the sea. Thinking of the Central Plains, this Taoist temple, even this mountainous area, is still a very small piece.

Although he was working hard and walking on thin ice, Meng Jiucheng could not show his decay. He was not old, but he was already the backbone of this large group of people. Even if those refugees lived under the low eaves and had to bow their heads, he would infect them with a confident and fearless state, accumulate their limited power together, and jointly maintain a lonely boat in this turbulent and chaotic world.

…………

In the autumn of 1213 AD, Genghis Khan led his army south to attack and plunder on the grounds that the Jin Dynasty had violated the contract to move the capital. The Mongolian cavalry was unstoppable and successively captured Jinan, Yidu, Deng, Lai, Yi, and Mizhou. The Shandong region was deserted due to Mongolia's plunder tactics.

After the Jin army was severely attacked by the Mongolian army, the Red Coat Army, the rebellious forces of the Central Plains, took the opportunity to grow stronger. As early as the eve of the Jin Dynasty's migration to the capital south, the Red Coat Army was already quite powerful, and the area of ​​activity was almost expanded to the entire Jiaodong Peninsula.

This time, the Mongolian army went south, although they captured the cities and villages, they plundered and did not occupy them, and they blew over like a whirlwind. Many prefectures and counties were in a regime vacuum. The Shandong Red Coat Army then held a large movement, and suddenly had a large territory and formed three major armed forces.

These three armed forces are: Yang Aner, who first used Qing, Wei, Mi and Ju as the activity centers, and now occupied Laiyang, Dengzhou and other places; because his mother and elder brother were killed by the Mongolian army, they gathered people to revolt and occupied Linqu and Yidu; and Liu Erzu, who moved to Tai'an, Zibo and Yizhou.

The Jin army, Mongolian army, Red Coat Army, and other small armed forces, you occupy this state and I occupy that county. The city is really changing the king's flag. I don't know what year it will be today.

The troubles outside did not affect the refugees in the Taoist temple for the time being. After five or six days of busy work, they finally settled down and their living conditions improved greatly.

Some weak refugees were placed in caves on the top of the mountain, and those with stronger bodies remained in the Taoist temple. The front yard of the Taoist temple was set up with four large sheds along the courtyard wall, using cut down trees and seized tents. The mountain gate had been blocked with debris, and watered and frozen ice to block the cold wind.

The worship hall is also divided into four small rooms, two on one side, and the mud statues in the middle have not moved, so the space inside the hall has become very narrow.

It’s not that Meng Jiucheng doesn’t want to make a major transformation, but that the refugees respect the gods and advise Meng Jiucheng not to offend the gods because of An Xuan and the others.

God? Meng Jiucheng doesn't believe it, so what kind of protection does the refugees he believes in have? But since the public opinion is like this, he is not stubborn. Besides, it is reasonable if the master comes back.

Two small houses were also built in the backyard to live in the women such as Xiaowei, Qiao E, Chen Mengyao and others. The broken bricks in the gap were cleaned up, and wooden branches were built to make doors for people to enter and exit temporarily.

In order to save food, it was changed to two meals a day, and with a few dead horse meat, the harvest of Qiao E and Da Chou and others hunting could last for ten days and half a month.

It is definitely not possible to sit and eat the whole country. Meng Jiu has discussed this with everyone many times and has determined several solutions.

First, I went to Lingyang Town to buy grain and shop. The letter was delivered by Sanming a few days ago, and I just waited for the shop owner Sun to send someone to transport it. Second, I organized people to cross mountains and ridges, and walked for three or four hours to go to Tianhu to fish in the south.

Maji Mountain, also known as Moqi Mountain, is the boundary mountain between Juzhou Prefecture (now Ju County) and Junan County. It is surrounded by Xunshui on both sides of the northwest. Because the mountain is steep and steep, it stretches for dozens of miles, which looks like the neck of a horse galloping with its head held high. It is famous for its shape in the local area, so it is called Maji.

There are four wonders of Maji Mountain. There is a poem that says: reeds grow on horse mouth stones, thousands of silverfish travel to Tianchi, the toad green back and red belly, and the black soil on the top of the mountain cannot be seen. Tianhu (now Dushan Reservoir) is one of them. When you listen to the poem, you will know that there are many silverfish in the lake.

It took time to send someone to fish and transport them back. Meng Jiucheng didn't quite agree with this, but it was unrealistic for refugees to move in a cold and cold way. Therefore, he had to make such a temporary decision first and wait until the weather was warm.

Several of the refugees left the mountain, but they were bachelors who had no relatives or relatives. They were family members, or were worried and afraid, and were not aware of the situation outside, and were afraid of being killed by the rioters, so they stayed here.
