There are five battalions in Xin'an County. Soon, under the leadership of a pen style that looks more powerful than the old man, a hundred "brave" soldiers rushed towards Guangzhou in a big cart.

Three days later, they arrived in Guangzhou.

The city will not allow them to enter. On the thirteenth row of docks, they were arranged to move into rows of shacks of poor families that were "cleared".

As for the reasons for cleaning up, it is nothing more than "joining bandits" and worrying about the Truqin thief and spies getting involved.

Of course, the government just said to borrow temporarily and return it to them after the war ends.

These families are helpless, but like the gangsters on the river, most of them have boats, so the family has to temporarily move to the boat to live.

"How many days will it take to wait for a silver?"

Omubu thought to himself.

When he asked the old man's head, the old man's head lit his copper smoke pot, and while clattering, he pretended to be profound: "That's natural. If you were easily taken away, how could they show their importance?"

Omubu asked again tentatively: "Then we will wait like this these few days?"

At this time, the two of them were standing near the dock, and they looked around them for a while, and then secretly said to him: "Of course not, each battalion can take turns going out every day."

"What to do?"

I always wanted to knock a cigarette pot on his head and cursed: "What else can I do? I'm a bachelor, so I'm naturally going to the river to stroll. If you want to stroll, you can go today"

"What about you old?"

"I'm a family, I don't even look down on the ugly things on the river"

"Ugly? I saw some flower boats on it, which looked very beautiful"

This time, the old man really lit the smoke pot on his head, and scolded: "You guys can save a few money when burning kilns, don't blame me for not reminding you that the place is not something you can go to."

"Why?"

"Why? The worst one to go there is also two or three taels of silver, and at least ten taels of silver are spent overnight! If you can't pay the money, you will be tied up and thrown directly into the river."

"Even if you have money, you can't waste it in such a place. If you really want to think about it, just go to the boats of those gangsters. One hundred copper plates at a time are enough. It's all black, it's the same. Come back quickly after you finish it."

Omubu seemed to be attracted by this scene and grinned and said, "I want to go"

....

In the evening, the lights were brightly lit near the Guangzhou Pier, as if the Truqin thieves on Hong Kong Island did not exist at the moment, and the crowds were still as lively as before.

Omubu and another brave soldier who was always respected by the old man came here. After walking a few steps, the man couldn't stand the teasing of a series of hundreds of scattered boats and jumped up.

Omubu shook his head, he continued to walk forward, deafing the women standing on the bow of the boat, and after walking for a while, he was in the pleasure boat area.

The boats here are big and small. Compared with the chanhu boats that don't even have a lantern, at least two lanterns are lit on each boat, and the candlelight in the large cabin illuminates the bow and stern.

There were women standing on the bow of the boat, but they were all old and there was a strong man behind him who obviously looked down on brave men like Omubu.

There are also many pleasure boats. It took a while for the Ombu to reach the end, and then there are another row of hanhu boats not far away.

What he didn't expect was that the largest pleasure boat was close to the Tanhu boat. Eight lanterns were lit on it, and there were two floors of the cabin. There was no old woman standing at the bow, but a gentle and gentle young man.

He stood there with a smile, and when he saw someone dressed well, he would greet him loudly, as if he was very familiar with them. If ordinary people were smiling, they would greet him.

Omubu looked closely and saw four words written on the big lanterns.

Autumn Moon in Han Palace!

It's just here, he walked up.

The man saw that he was a man wearing a Yongying suit. Although he still had a smile on his face, he was obviously much worse than before. However, he did not speak out to drive him away. Although he was just a big soldier in the Yongying suit, he was not an ordinary person.

He smiled and said, "This Bing Master, are you looking for someone, or are you going to play, or are you going to come up and play?"

At first glance, he is a versatile person. Although he can't believe that such a person can also play on the boat, he can't offend him if he is really hidden. Recently, the green camp has expanded its troops, and many former generals have put in the generals to stuff their relatives in.

If this is the case, there must be money on it.

Omubu stepped onto the boat with a quick step, and the man was a little stunned, "Master, are you really here to play? Don't blame me for not telling you in advance, my Han Palace Qiuyue Painting Boat costs at least fifty taels per night!"

Omubu ignored him and said, "I'm sorry, I'm here to find someone. Is there a person named Hahu here?"

"Hahu?", the man was stunned and asked, "Who are you?"

Omubu said, "Don't worry, go and inform me, just say that a person named Wenmubu is here"

The man said to him half-believingly, "Don't go around, I'll come when I go"

When only Omubu left the bow of the ship, he carefully observed it.

This pleasure boat is really big, and the two floors are full of people. It sounds like some people who are drinking and some are teasing unscrupulously. I can't help but think of the old man's words again.

"It's still time to eat now. If it's a hanhu boat, if there are guests, you won't invite you to dinner. Instead, you will just swing the boat deep into the river and then do your business there."

"If it is a big pleasure boat, you will only eat and drink in the first half of the night, and those with better conditions may also perform. In the second half of the night, the boat will also drive towards the heart of the river."

"There are rooms on the pleasure boat, with beds, and then you can do business there. You can sleep for one night after you finish it, otherwise it would be more than a decent way to talk about ghosts and wolves on the shore."

"This is the solution that the admiral Guangdong Academy of Education Master came up with. It can be seen that this master has also been to the pleasure boat."

"There are thirteen rows and the backstage of city officials behind the pleasure boat, and the gangs are controlled by the gangs. No one wants to go against them"

Standing at the bow of this pleasure boat, Omubu remembered Truqin again.

There, although Qitad ordered the ban on the appearance of brothels, the private pubs opened by foreigners still existed secretly in the port, and the government turned a blind eye.

Anyway, it is a cleaner, tidy, and perhaps more civilized place.

"Wenbu?!"

Just as I was thinking, a familiar voice appeared.

Omubu turned around and saw Hatu's big face that seemed to be thicker.

"Hahu?!"

The two pretended to be old friends who had not seen each other for many years. When the young man saw him, he bowed to Omubu and said, "I don't know that my master is our master's friend. I was rude just now. I offended him so much, I hope he can forgive me."

Hatu laughed and said, "This person is my fellow villager, a friend of my youth. What a good guy, I found this place."

Omubu also smiled and said, "I heard that you are tall here, but I searched for a long time before finally finding it."

Hatu slapped his chest, "Brother, you happened to be here, there was an empty room. I'll treat you tonight, and I'll stop when you get drunk."

Omubu thought to himself: "Hatu is indeed better than me. He can eat so much in such a short time. He is worthy of being a bannerman and a general who surrenders."

....

After walking through the corridor of the pleasure boat, there is another space facing you, and the entire pleasure boat is divided into two from here.

"Walking forward, there are more expensive rooms, with eight rooms in front, only four of them"

There were many guests coming out along the way, and Hatu greeted them freely, but it was a bit strange to see a man wearing a Yongying suit coming in.

At the end of the journey, there was a small cabin, and there was a small boat tied outside the stern of the pleasure boat.

It looks similar to the size of the chanhu boat, but the decoration is much more beautiful. Hatu took the Omubu and stepped onto the small boat.

"This is where I live alone"

"One person?"

"Yes, there are three people behind this pleasure boat, and I am the manager of these three pleasure boats, and I will give you 100 taels of silver every month"

Although it was narrating the matter, Omubu could clearly feel that Hatu seemed very satisfied with this kind of life.

"One hundred taels of silver, or two hundred Truqin silver coins, the staff of the Intelligence Bureau are the highest in China, and it is even higher when going out for field trips, but those with positions like Hatu cannot get so much money"

"What's more, those who come to this boat are either rich or noble, and the rewards they give every day are probably not a small number, and the sum is even more than Truchen."

Although I thought about this, Omubu still sat down. Not long after, the young man I saw before brought a table of wine and food, then closed the hatch door and left.

Although Omubu can withstand loneliness, he can only barely eat enough every day, whether in the kiln or in the barracks. He is calm, but when he sees his own people, facing the delicacies he has not seen for several months, he will naturally not be polite, and the wind will sweep away the clouds.

"Russian Mubu"

Just as he was eating and drinking, Hatu began to report on his work.

Hatu is obviously a person who is interested. He had already sailed the boat away from the pleasure boat before, so no one would hear what they said.

"Tell me," Omubu said vaguely.

"All 40,000 new recruits in Guangdong have arrived. They will all be transported to Xin'an County within ten days at the latest. Among them, there will be 10,000 veterans. Li Shiyao, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, will be personally led by Li Shiyao, and Guangzhou General Yongwei will be the deputy general of Guangzhou"

"In addition, there are about a thousand warships from various types from Zhili Province, Shandong, Jiangnan, and the Yangtze River. There are about a thousand warships from various types that have moved south from Wusongkou. In addition, there are at least 1,500 ships from Zhejiang and Fujian, and there are tens of thousands of sailors."

"According to their plan, the mainland division will arrive at the sea near Hong Kong Island at the same time when it arrives in Xin'an County"

Ombu put down his wine glass and wiped his mouth, "That is to say, will they arrive near Hong Kong Island by the end of this month at the latest?"

“Yes”

"How did you know?"

"These governors and generals issued orders through their subordinates, and they wrote the documents of the exchanges. Many of these people usually come to the pleasure boat for fun. I have to accompany them personally. Here, I have developed a few trustworthy women..."

Omubu nodded, but he obviously disagreed with Hatu's last sentence. It's not easy to believe it. It's still a woman who plays a show?

Of course, the Qing Dynasty's officialdom is also full of intrigue and intrigue. If Hatu was asking for news for a certain adult, it would be a different matter. These women would never think that Hatu was a spy of Truqin.

Hatu also specifically talked about the specific composition of the Qing army, who were the generals, what equipment were there, the storage place for food and grass, the transportation method, etc., and the Russian Mubu kept it all in mind.

By midnight, Omubu was also a little tired, Hatu laughed and said, "You will live here today, I will arrange a wonderful person for you"

Omubu was about to push it away, but then he thought, "If I did nothing here, wouldn't it be suspicious?"

Then nodded.

Before the woman arrived, Omubu asked again: "What is the current situation of Zhou Jixun?"

Hatu laughed and said, "He is much more casual than you. He can walk freely. I have received him several times."

"Didn't people see the flaw?"

"That's of course. The gang behind him also has some strength here, mainly looking at the gang ships. We are both like this, so there are naturally many opportunities to meet. Don't worry, there is no problem."
