"Good news..."
The sweaty messenger said loudly
"The head was in Xingning territory in five battles, killing more than a thousand thieves and capturing hundreds of them."
"It has broken the county seat along the way, and gained a lot from it..."
"Now the capture and seizure are being escorted back..."
"Also, after the delivery of the grain platform, quickly solve the nine hundred stone wheat beans and respond to the needs, and the two hundred masters will go..."
Having said this, he solemnly showed an arrow-shaped iron charm as a token.
"But see here by faith..."
Zhou Huaian took it, and then pulled out a small piece of paper roll from the bottom. It was just that the rolled paper was blank after unfolding, and then I turned around and took a candle to bake it, and it suddenly showed some crooked words and graphics.
This is the text written with vinegar mixed with rice juice in anti-counterfeiting and confidentiality measures under his suggestion; the mixed graphics represent the corresponding symbols. If there is no meaning of these symbols as annotations, these texts are basically It cannot be interpreted normally, and this is the second level of confidentiality.
In addition, there is a special fingerprint, which is covered with another plant ingredient. Once it is fired, it can no longer be restored. This is the third guarantee that it may be leaked halfway.
Wang Pan's message in it probably meant that after taking over Xingning City, which had more population and wealth and was more affluent, there were a lot of people who defected to the rebels; whether it was the middle battalion or the left and right battalions, the losses were not only made up for. It also greatly expanded the manpower; but as a price, the equipment rate and training degree were further diluted.
Therefore, I hope that a batch of materials and manpower will be allocated from his grain stand in the past, and by the way, the 700 or 800 surplus manpower that has been surplus after the local recruitment will be sent to his rear squad, along with some excess seizures. Now this unarmed team, together with a convoy full of battle wins, is coming towards Changle County under the escort of a pole team.
Well, for the time being, it seems that everything is going well in front of him. It is good news, and he runs and maintains a small town here, which also has a sense of accomplishment.
Because, in the past two days, someone actually went to the county office to sue the officials. Although they were all trivial matters, it was nothing more than the loss of a chicken by the owner, disputes and fights in the neighborhood of the West, but it also represented some sort of order. Simply agree, this is something that you can't realize in modern life.
Later, the direct team that went out on routine patrols and practiced horse skills also returned, but brought back an additional capture, a man with a short stature and thick eyebrows who was tied on a horseback.
"Campaign management, this is the man..."
"Secretly want to get out of the city."
However, as soon as the opponent pulled the plug, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed desperately and shouted.
"The big man, the big urn is soft, and Ouba is related to pulling..."
"I'm thinking of the Olympic Games Gala... I definitely don't want the evil road Junqing."
Well, it took a long time for Zhou Huaian to adjust the auxiliary system in his body to understand what he was begging for forgiveness; he was actually a Fujianese, which is where the future generations of Fujian Province are located.
To tell the truth, because of the relative isolation and isolation of this place, according to different states and regions, it has long been known as a hundred miles of different sounds, and the existence of chickens and ducks across the hills; therefore, until after the liberation of later generations, there will still be Many ancient Chinese remains known as living fossils, and it is painful for outsiders to understand their words.
However, the Bazhou in Fujian Province has always had many mountains and little land and can only find a living in the sea for a long time. Therefore, the extensive distribution and the coastal areas between Guangdong, Guangxi and Qilu are not uncommon in this era; in fact, according to Zhou Huaian's Vaguely remembered, they traveled farther on the sea roads of Southeast Asia;
They even established various colonial strongholds and anchorages from the Mekong River Delta to the Bay of Bengal and the coast of Malacca. Later generations also included them in the Jiaozhi regime established at the turn of the Five Dynasties and the early Song Dynasty.
It's just that this Fujianese people call it "big king" indiscriminately, what the hell is it, obviously he regards the rebel army as a bandit leader in a certain sense
According to his self-report, this man is called Wang Qinian. He is a businessman who lives in the local Fujian province. The goods he carried when passing through the city of Xunzhou were all beaten by the officers and soldiers in the name of preparing for the invasion, and he argued a lot. After a few sentences, he was also behind bars, but when he was released by the rebels, everyone else had disappeared.
"Then what business is your family doing?"
Zhou Huaian suddenly moved in his heart and said with a thought.
"If you go back to the king, it's just a small business of crude drugs and fur..."
The other party's very restrained way
"What kind of medicinal materials are best sold at the time..."
"You mostly collect those medicines locally..."
"Acorus, Artemisia annua and Artemisia argyi, what are the market prices now..."
. . . . .
"Can you settle accounts, can you write..."
Zhou Huaian asked for a few more words and then ordered to the left and right.
"Take care of him and let him go until there is a way to verify his identity."
"During this period your food and beverage expenses... just use it to pay for the rebels..."
"As for the suspicion of leaking the military situation, you must do your daily work to clean up one or two."
"Report to the management."
At this time, another volunteer soldier with a weird expression came in to report
"The master Taoist of Wuxian Temple in the city, please see me..."
"I also sent a greeting note..."
"Don't Le Fang and other digital agents, invite me to drink in Yunxianglou, who is it."
Then Zhou Huaian placed the printed greeting card in his hand, and immediately refused to arrive.
"Something inexplicable, don't go..."
"In addition, send someone to feel the details of the teeth in this city..."
He told Xiao Qi.
"Nothing to show courtesy, you will steal if you do it..."
"It's saved..."
Xiao Qi nodded away with solemn expression.
Although Xiaoqi is still Zhou Huaian’s close follower, there are now several subordinates who are stray children gathered from the street. Usually they mainly receive a portion of food and do some chores; because they are relatively inconspicuous and unremarkable compared to adults. It also has the task of inquiring and investigating private information.
Then, he resumed the work of allocating materials and preparing manpower, and was ready to welcome the recruits dispatched from the front, delineate and requisition new houses, organize and take out the corresponding equipment, specify a simple training plan and so on, and soon let him He was busy until dark.
When he finished the dinner of stewed lamb soup with chestnut rice, Xiao Qi brought a young boy with a runny nose and a yellowish muscle to come back and stuttered;
"He... He... They all entered the Wuxian Temple..."
"To. To. To.. Not out yet..."
"Right. Ran... Then, several carts of rice noodles and vegetables were sent in..."
"I, I, I... I climbed the tree on the wall, and I saw a lot of people..."
"Stay...Stay...When the lights go out, I'll be back..."
Wuxian Temple is located in the northwest corner of the city. It is a relatively remote place. Many people gather together and send food and vegetables to it. This is obviously abnormal.
"You did a good job..."
Zhou Huaian smiled and applauded, and then asked someone to retrieve an old shirt that was washed and patched.
"Wear it, don't catch a cold in the middle of the night... take him down for something to eat"
"Thanks...thanks...thanks...for the official..."
The other party wiped his nose in gratitude.
"You have something to do now"
Then Zhou Huaian called the most trusted Laoguan again and ordered
"Dress up and bring all the guys with you to Wuxian Temple."
"Bring me back a good person..."
"Those who dare to disobey during the period, just let go and do it..."
For Zhou Huaian, his own peace of mind was the most important thing, even if it was discovered after the fact that he had made a mistake, it didn't matter, at most it was a false alarm and a waste of preparation.
"understood.."
Laoguan nodded and led away without a lot of words.
After a long while, in the sound of a little bit of the password, Zhou Huaian saw hundreds of rebel soldiers gathered in the county yard, wearing armors and helmets;
Immediately they held torches and lanterns, straddling crossbows or carrying spears and knives, and several carts followed closely, filled with red hot coals and other objects, and they filed towards the envelope. Going northwest of the city in the darkness.
Next, Zhou Huaian waited for a while on the Drum Tower, the highest place in the county government, before he heard the faint noise from the city, and then he could not help but sigh heavily amidst the rising light and noise. Tone. (End of this chapter)
