At the temporary battlefield meeting under Jiaozhou City.
"How much surplus is left in the army..."
Zhou Huaian faced the officer of the food station and the assistant team leader Yang Neng's way.
"How long can it last..."
"According to the leader, according to the current consumption, there is still about 20 days left in the army's grain reserves..."
Because of multiple injuries on his face, Yang Neng, who appeared to be a bit paralyzed and expressionless, replied:
"In addition, in a short period of time, we can continue to raise and purchase some from local sources as a supplement... It can be delayed until about a month..."
"It's just that after 20 days, the corps and servants who are submissive will not take care of it..."
"But it's okay. There is enough time for me to wait and make changes and strive for changes and breakthroughs..."
Zhou Huaian thought about it for a while, so as to comfort and inspire
"But the place is settling down. It would be nice not to spread the news in a short time..."
"So not only can we not just cut manpower casually, we have to recruit more people..."
"Well, I will pass on the order"
Zhou Huai paused and continued
"On the grounds of further reorganization, strengthen the control of those subordinate military forces, and then arrange to return to the village for farming as a pretext to demobilize and eliminate the old and weak who are of little use..."
"The next step is to recruit and arm more young men... even if it's a scene... As long as you can control these strong men, if you want to mess up in other places, you can't go anywhere..."
"Take it..."
The dozens of subordinates present all said in unison. Then, Zhou Huaian stood alone in front of the newly-made sand table and lightly tapped the various topography shown on the Red River Plain with a wooden pole.
As a newly formed army, it has long been dragged out of the traditional peasant army that was scattered without food; therefore, with the expected reserves, there will be no one within a month of being cut off in the rear. It's too big a problem; what's more, he also has the newly opened Haimen Town and its maritime canal as an alternate transportation route; the key is the chain reaction of those peripheral forces.
Now there are savages who are aggressively invading, and there are remnant enemies in the city who have resisted to the end, and there are pirates behind them. Therefore, we can only focus on the principle of clenching fists and beating people, and focus on solving one of them first to achieve a chain. The result of the break.
. . . . . . . .
And in Bijinggang,
Lin Shenhe, who had the small iron pot above his head, squatted on the roof, crouched towards a probe in the distance and climbed up the enemy with an arrow. Then he sighed heavily, and carefully took a sip of water from the gourd on his waist, Quanzuo moisturizing the dry and thirsty throat.
Nowadays, the reason why they are in this situation is because of the thieves outside.
It is said that the underground operation of Jiaozhou Dagang gang-one of the remnants of the "Five Laohui", the escaped Hualao did not know when he had returned to the port area, and connected the big family of Zhongfangqu in the rear city, suddenly initiated chaos. They blocked their retreat; then a large number of pirates swarmed from the sea, and there were even more people in the port area who took the opportunity to set fires indiscriminately, and immediately fell into most of the area under the cooperation of the inside and the outside.
In the end, only the remaining people who gathered in the overflow left behind, relying on this area of warehouses and warehouses located in the east corner of the port area, insisted on holding on for a while; and with the support of the boatmen and boatmen on the nearby Cantonese ship, they fought again and again. The proficient offense of those chaotic pirates was retreated.
But now it’s getting faint. Obviously they have found a new countermeasure. They have begun to pile up a lot of firewood outside the warehouse, and then use the trolley to cover them, and move closer and closer to the wall of the warehouse area. , Even if one after another shot and killed on the spot but went on and on, it was a posture to force a fire attack.
At this time, another warning came from the rear:
"It's not good, the culprit came over by rowing a boat from the sea..."
With these exclamations and screams, I saw a canton ship parked nearby had quickly fallen into a scream of fighting, and was burned to one piece on the deck, with many screaming figures carrying it. The spark fell little by little.
Lin Shenhe's mind suddenly sank and fell into a certain kind of fear and despair. It can be said that the tiger entered the front door and the wolf came behind to take care of himself. These watermen and boatmen who were holding swords and bows to assist them in their defense could not help but panic or mess up the battle, and some people started to run involuntarily towards the rear, but wanted to escape back to their own ships. Go up and talk about it.
However, the sudden change was a sudden change, and the blood spattered in the screams. But the few watermen who got up and escaped were shot down by Lin Shenhe who jumped off the roof first, and knocked down another one and chopped off their heads; suddenly the rest of the people were surprised. Stopped the steps and movements.
"Did you wait for the lard to be blinded... You want to be fleeed by the enemy? Is it because everyone didn't die fast enough..."
Lin Shenhe, splattered with blood, said sharply with bloodshot red eyes.
"If this little place on the shore is not guaranteed, you can hide from the other sea ships that are too late to raise their sails..."
"Only those who follow me and kill the thief have a way to survive..."
. . . . . . . . .
And on an outpost in the port area, as the initiator of this incident, he had long grasped the underground forces in Jiaozhou Dagang and even the coastal area. "The old man, one of the leaders of the "Five Laohui", is also looking at this. One scene, and constantly urged and adjusted the former manpower to join the attack on these residual forces.
Although this "Hua Lao" has an old word, it doesn't look old at all. On the contrary, she is a middle-aged beautiful woman who still has the charm and has a moving demeanor between her gestures; it is hard to imagine it. Such a pretty woman once mastered hundreds of prostitutions and tricks along the coast of Jiaozhou with Bijinggang as the center, and used the advantage of maritime transit to monopolize and control the large local population transactions for a long time. Business.
Therefore, it also hides the dirt and accommodates many wanted, exiled criminals and desperadoes, as wings and minions to maintain their power and status; this has caused countless people’s homes and wives to be destroyed, and even more blood and tears. There are so many hard books. As a result, it has also established a deep network of relationships and unshakable bonds of interest with many pirates, bandits, and traffickers;
Therefore, the weak females who have no power to restrain the chickens, in these underground worlds where the weak eat and only respect the power, and the gangs who are fighting and brave, are listed as one of the first five elders. Therefore, while invading and calculating intrigue with other meeting leaders, he also acts as a kind of think tank and well-informed role in the daily life;
Therefore, after these grass thieves landed in Jiaozhou Dagang and started to rectify in pain, she was able to escape the birth of others one step ahead; and finally contacted with a strong background and backing, relying on the connections and hidden lines she left behind. Come back and sit back on the counterattack. It can even persuade the big families in Fangqu in the rear urban area to sit back and watch, and cut off the channels for these grass thieves to seek help and break through.
But as the saying goes, everyone who is hateful must have pity; her real name Lei Zhu is the son of a concubine of a bankrupt Hu Shang. As a result, he was sold and sold many places at a very young age, and finally became the most popular top card in Jiaozhou City under the nickname "Lvhouer"; but not surprisingly, he encountered the routines and endings of many women in the hospital;
First, he was disappointed by the lover who was born in poverty and had to compromise with reality and gave himself up; then he was targeted by a deliberately designed serial scam and lost both people and money. There was no good opportunity to marry a business woman, and he was forced to owe it. The huge debts in the hospital, years of humiliating and humiliating hard work and expectations have all come to nothing.
Although she finally woke up, through the deliberately formed gang leader, a little bit of revenge and hatred was retrieved from the opponent, and Erdo went to control the house; but she also paid a lot of physical and spiritual for this. cost. Then she fully realized that the skin and color that she can prove will eventually disappear, but some things will never change;
So she started unscrupulously chasing and seeking everything she wanted, or things like power and wealth that could bring her a little sense of security. For example, get news through prostitutes and convert them into channels of influence such as wealth and power. Until now, no one has dared to call her past "Lvhouer" flower name, but the "Hua Lao" who has to routinely respectfully worship.
At the beginning of the local chaos in Jiaozhou, and always secretly grasping the plan of the Five Laohui to take the opportunity to step onto the stage, it was also a product of her. Then there were bandits that flooded by sea and land, as well as taxation and unity. The conflicts intensified and the loss of both parties was wasted; but the connections and resources that had not waited until the Five Laohui had fully mobilized, proceed to the next step; used the general trend to force the local maritime merchants in the city to compromise and retreat, and then admit that they are in Dagang, Jiaozhou Public dominance and control rights.
The grass thieves who came from the sea to intervene in Jiaozhou Dagang completely shattered their plans and plans. The power and force mobilized by the Wu Lao Club quickly disappeared like a dream bubble in front of these well-trained fighters.
Therefore, she, who wants to get revenge and revenge in public and private, can easily rely on the inside line in Jiaozhou City to get a new backer and background; the other party even promised her that if she can successfully sever the foreign thieves. For the back road; not to mention coming back to the table, even wanting an officially recognized identity and corresponding position is no longer a problem at all; so she did not hesitate to invest in everything she could contact.
It's a pity that the grass thieves who are staying in the port area are too cautious, and the methods she sends out to hook up and woo them have basically no results in a short time. After the event started, there was actually a small number of people who could gather and fight and walk away, retreating to the area where the Canton Ship berthed and stood firm.
It's a pity that the pirates, bandits, and peddlers she was in charge of contacting all had their own paths and did not act in one mind. After they landed in Hong Kong, they were busy burning and killing women and looting them, and didn't have much thought at all. Work together to deal with the remaining grass thieves, the "hard bones" represented by the entrenched area, so they have successively gathered and escaped many people.
Some people even deliberately broke the agreement and tacit agreement between him and the big households in the city, and wanted to rush over the wall and wreak havoc, but they were all repelled back; nevertheless, the relationship between her and those people was hard to ignore. influences. In other words, she must pay more interest division and concessions to re-stabilize these fence-riding and ilk.
But now, under her all-out coercion and temptation, promise and agitation, and the exchange of benefits, all of this should be completely over. She looked at the warehouses that were gradually submerged in the sound of tears from the sea and the land. Area, could not help showing a certain expression of Zhizhu holding it again.
As long as the remnants of these grass thieves can be solved and the military supplies they have at their disposal, these low-life thieves can be further armed, and with a little guidance and agitation, they can be turned to deal with the rear city. Those temporary allies in here;
Although they have their own family members and the guarded house as evidence, they can protect themselves for a while; but in the face of the large-scale bandit craziness, they are nothing but bones in the tombs that have been broken by each. Do they think it would be such an easy thing to watch a fire from the other side
At this time, suddenly his subordinates rushed over to report and found an unknown fleet at sea outside the port. . . . (End of this chapter)
