Chapter 1751: Shuiquan Town

"I'm not familiar with Shuiquan Town either. I've only passed by it once, but it's quite big.

If our Que'er Town is a small town, then that Shuiquan Town must be a big eagle." Qian Chuan'er began to introduce the situation of Shuiquan Town in the bumpy carriage.

As Qian Chuan'er said, he was really not familiar with Shuiquan Town, because that Shuiquan Town was not in their guerrilla zone, and he only knew the general situation there.

There are more than 300 households in Que'er Town, while Shuiquan Town has nearly 1,000 households.

How can there be a small population in rural China nowadays?

As long as the female protagonist in the family can give birth, she will definitely give birth continuously.

It is said that there are many children in the family with seven or eight children, which is considered a lot, five or six children in the family is only normal, and three or four children in the family is a small number.

As for the family with only one or two children, either the male and female protagonists of that family are sick, or the male and female protagonists are still young and have not had time to give birth again!

The reason is nothing more than that it is an agricultural society. The number of males in the family determines the amount of labor in the family, and indirectly determines the wealth of the family.

Of course, it is another matter if Xiaodanzi has to marry more wives, but it is basically impossible to become rich without labor in the family!

Besides, how many Chinese people nowadays, let alone farmers, even educated people, know how to use contraception?

One of the younger brothers of the young marshal was in the Eighth Route Army, and the sister-in-law of his brother's family mentioned in her memoirs that she didn't know about contraception, let alone ordinary people. The first two children she and the younger marshal's brother gave birth to died in that war.

Later, after the founding of New China and the implementation of family planning for several years, the whole country used administrative means to distribute the condoms.

It's just that the children didn't understand, but they all blew up the condoms with their mouths and played with them as balloons. It's not that the whole country is like this, but it's almost the same. It has become a unique scene of that era.

Okay, I'm getting off topic.

On average, if there are seven people in a family in Shuiquan Town, there are more than 10,000 people in the whole Shuiquan Town, which is not a small scale in the current rural areas of China.

Qian Chuan'er also knows that the richest man in Shuiquan Town is called "Chen Laocai". Chen Laocai has a protective team with more than 100 guns. In addition to his long-term workers and some swords and red tassel guns, he claims to have 500 to 600 people and swords.

It is precisely because of the existence of such a protective team that Shuiquan Town has long been the target of various armed forces.

Chen Laocai is also an old man, but he survives in the cracks between various armed forces, and he has saved his family's land, which no one can tell exactly how much.

The carriage is still running, but Qian Chuan'er has shut up.

"Speak, why don't you say anything?" Shang Zhen urged.

Shang Zhen had never been to Shuiquan Town. Now that the Japanese army's advance team has gone to Shuiquan Town, it is not ruled out that the enemy and us will start a war there. As a commander, Shang Zhen certainly hopes to get as much first-hand information about Shuiquan Town as possible.

"That's all I know. What else can I say?" Qian Chuan'er replied.

"Ah?" Shang Zhen was stunned for a moment, then laughed angrily, "I even doubt whether it is a mistake to let you get intelligence."

"Hehe." Qian Chuan'er smiled awkwardly, then slapped his thigh and said, "I remembered that the second uncle of one of my spies is in Shuiquan Town. He told me that he mentioned me in front of the second uncle. I will go to find his second uncle when the time comes!"

"You are just bluffing!" Hu Zhuzi, who was sitting at the end of the carriage, said, "You haven't even seen him, where can you find his second uncle?"

Qian Chuan'er naturally would not be as knowledgeable as Hu Zhuzi, but he said again: "I have never seen his second uncle, but his second uncle is a tofu maker in the town. Do you think I can find him?"

"That's more like it." Hu Zhuzi snorted.

"Is the tofu maker you mentioned surnamed Zhang?" At this time, the stubborn bull who came with Shang Zhen took the initiative to talk.

"Yes, do you know him?" Qian Chuan'er heard something when he heard what stubborn bull said.

"I worked for Chen Laocai in the town for a while and went to his house to buy tofu. The old man was in his fifties and had a lame left leg, so everyone called him 'Zhang the Lame'." Stubborn bull really knew it.

"Yes, my spy said the same thing." Qian Chuan'er said hurriedly.

"That's what he said? Fuck! Whose nephew can tell outsiders that his second uncle is a lame man!" At this time, Ma Erhuzi, who didn't say anything but just listened, said.

"Hey, Ma Erhuzi, why are you so stubborn? People just say that his second uncle's legs are not very good." Qian Chuan'er said angrily.

"Okay, all of you shut up, Daniu, tell me what you know about Shuiquan Town." Shang Zhen spoke in time, he couldn't let his men continue to say so.

If they keep talking like this, they will just be bluffing for nothing. They are going to search for the Japanese army's advancing team, and the battle may happen soon.

Since the commander Shang Zhen has spoken, the soldiers shut up, and the stubborn ox tells about the situation in Shuiquan Town that he knows.

It turns out that Chen Laocai's family has a lot of fields. When the harvest season comes, his family is short of manpower, so people from the surrounding villages will come to work for him. The stubborn ox comes to work every year during this season.

According to the stubborn bull, the terrain of Shuiquan Town is divided into two parts. One part is with a large wall. That is the farm of Chen Laocai's family. There are corner towers in the high wall and guards with guns at the gate.

If outsiders want to enter that farm without the consent of the farm, it is impossible.

And just to the north of Chen Laocai's farm is an ordinary family. There are all kinds of houses, good and bad, tall and short, and shabby.

Especially at this season, many people come to Shuiquan Town to find work, and people from dozens of miles around will rush here.

In addition to those who come to find work, there are all kinds of people who perform martial arts, set up stalls, thieves, beggars, and even bandits who believe that horses cannot grow fat without night grass. There are all kinds of people, so it's almost like a big market.

As we all know, crops mature from south to north. Shuiquan Town is still 60 to 70 miles north of the village where Shang Zhen and his team first arrived. So this should be the time when Chen Laocai's family hired temporary workers, and there must be a lot of people!

Shang Zhen frowned while listening to the story of Niu Niu. He really didn't expect Shuiquan Town to be so different.

If Shuiquan Town is compared to the map in the game in the future, Shang Zhen really didn't expect this map to be so big and so complicated.

According to Niu Niu's description of the Japanese puppet army's advancing team he saw, the so-called advancing team did not open fire immediately at the beginning, and the people did not recognize it.

When Niu Niu found that the group of people spoke not only their local dialect, that is, Shandong dialect, but also Northeastern dialect, and some of them were very short and kept silent. Now I think those people should be Japanese devils.

At this point, Shang Zhen suddenly realized that the advancing team they came out to eliminate the Japanese army this time was not as simple as he imagined before he came out.

Just imagine, there are tens of thousands of people, all kinds of people, and if the Japanese puppet army's advance team does not stop in Shuiquan Town, it will be fine, but if they really sneak into Shuiquan Town, how can we identify them?

The battle map is so complicated, where can our people fight with this Japanese puppet army, so as to save our own camp and eliminate the enemy, and not hurt the people!

As for this battle, in the Northeast dialect, it is called-not easy to deal with!
