On this afternoon in mid-November, the white-capped mountains were bare and desolate in the harsh winter, and the wind was biting.

In the security team barracks at the Anyuan Mountain Mining Base, Baheiwa's right hand was wrapped in gauze. She stood in front of Ji Chunsheng and the bald man, and reported the information she had learned with some anxiety.

The injury on his right hand was the result of being taught a lesson by a bald man a few days ago. Because he did not change his bad habits as a bandit and had a little money in his pocket, he hung out in the brothels and casinos in the Anyuanshan mining area every day without doing anything serious, until he killed the last one.

Until all the pieces are used up.

That day, his right hand was almost broken by the furious bald man.

Ever since Yang Shanxin, Butcher and the others joined the escort, Baheiwa has now completely followed the bald man to the mining area.

At the beginning, he promised, but not willingly.

However, when I saw the food in the camp the next day, my eyes brightened.

Wow, there are white flour steamed buns, meat buns, beef and mutton, and there are enough to keep you fed and clothed.

What made him even more happy was that the mining town was much more lively than Songjiafang Wharf, with casinos and brothels everywhere. He didn't want to leave immediately.

Being able to eat well every day, have clothes to wear, and sleep with a woman in your arms at night was the ultimate dream of many common people in the Qing Dynasty.

The key is that a prisoner like him is treated like this without being disliked. That's incredible.

Remembering when the butcher asked him if he was willing to contribute to Fengzhong Mining, Xiao Heiwa hardly hesitated and knelt on the ground directly, begging the butcher to take him in.

The butcher asked him to help collect information from the bandits' den, and he immediately started working hard. He was also told that in the future, anyone who found useful information would be rewarded.

Xiao Heiwa was moved to tears on the spot.

Seven or eight days ago, he inquired about the news that the Japanese had found the pangolin tiger, sent money and weapons, and were preparing to launch a surprise attack on the Anyuanshan mining area by taking advantage of Fengzhong Mining's recent lack of defense. He immediately reported it to Lord Ji Chunsheng.

Ji Chunsheng thought this information was very important, and rewarded him with fifty yuan of silver on the spot. The boy turned around and went into the brothel and casino, and went away happily. Only then did a bald man come to look for him, but he couldn't find him, but found him.

He was given a beating in the brothel.

"Ji... Sir Ji, I have received a definite message. The Pingxiang Tiger Gang, also known as the Chuanshan Tiger, has led 2,000 troops and decided to attack our Gongjiling and Tiger Leaping Cliff areas first within the next two days!

"

Baheiwa rubbed his hands nervously. He had close contact with Ji Chunsheng and the bald man several times, and found that Ji Chunsheng was very kind and would often reward him with some money and gifts, while the bald man was fierce and difficult to talk to.

Therefore, as long as the bald man is present, he will be under great invisible pressure and will not dare to speak too loudly.

Another point was that he found that the soldiers or miners called the bald man Captain Lu or Instructor Lu, indicating that his surname was Lu, while everyone called Mr. Ji Chief of Staff. There seemed to be a big difference.

In the entire military base, most people speak Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Anhui dialects, which he generally doesn't understand well, so here he only interacts with Lord Ji and the bald guys, and spends the rest of the time with his brothers from the former Tiger Gang.

"Oh haha, they are going to take action so soon. They are bullying the small number of our security team. Hum, the young general will be back in a few days. By then, they won't even have time to cry!"

Ji Chunsheng listened and was stunned for about half a minute. He looked at the bald man and said, "I didn't expect that the pangolin tiger Lu Wenhu was brave enough. He was beaten to the ground three times, and he actually dared to come to Fengzhong Mining to cause trouble." , there must be something fishy in this!

"Oh, by the way, I heard another accurate news. Pangolin Tiger hired a group of Guangxi mountain bandits. They are said to be very good at fighting. The leader is named Song Menqing. He used to be an officer in the Qing army's patrol camp. He is very powerful. Master Ji, you must be careful!"

After Ji Chunsheng heard this, he looked at Baheiwa in astonishment and said, "Heiwazai, who are these Guangxi soldiers?"

He has heard that Guangxi soldiers are very good at fighting and fight fiercely. They are good at fighting in the mountains, because there are mountains and ridges everywhere in Guangxi. They go up the mountains as if they were walking on the flat ground, and they are called mountain monkeys in the world.

"I heard that many people came, at least seven or eight hundred people. Pangolin Tiger treated them very well. In terms of food, clothing, weapons and equipment, they were better than other bandit battalions."

Ji Chunsheng nodded after hearing this, paced back and forth on the spot, frowned and said:

"This mercenary is from outside. They will definitely perform well in the future. They hope to make a name for themselves and gain a foothold in the Dongting Lake Basin. In this case, we need to be careful and report the situation to the Major General as soon as possible. In addition, , let’s hold a military meeting first and summon all the officers from the mining area militia battalion and above and the security team platoon and above.”

"Okay..." The bald man walked out of the barracks and whispered a few words to a guard at the door. The guard nodded and went out to inform.

An hour later, the eight chiefs and deputy platoon leaders and two deputy company officers of a reinforced company of the third assault battalion, the chief and deputy company officers of four companies of the mining area militia battalion, and the chief and deputy battalion officers, a total of more than 20 people, successively came from various places. The mine station arrived at the Fengghong Mining Base Camp, in a small conference room.

Some people were preparing to have dinner and were ordered to put down their jobs and arrive on horseback. They didn't understand what was going on. They were shouting loudly when they entered the conference room. After seeing Chief of Staff Ji Chunsheng and Captain Lu come in, the conference room became quiet. Come down.

In the past two days, a small number of militia squad leaders in several mining areas were severely punished by Ji Chunsheng in accordance with military regulations because of drunken fights and quarrels between factions. Most of them now dare not be too presumptuous.

When holding such a military meeting, due to the mixture of foreign and local dialects, the language must be unified.

Ji Chunsheng presided over the meeting. He first spoke in Hangzhou Mandarin with an Anhui accent, and then the dialect interpreter repeated the story in Ganxi dialect.

During the discussion, everyone made signs and spoke slowly through the translator. If someone doesn't understand, they can ask questions or ask privately, but they must understand the matter. Otherwise, if it affects the battle situation and mission, they will be severely punished by military law.

"Damn it, we have a battle to fight here!"

After Ji Chunsheng finished explaining the current tense situation, everyone became nervous, and some even screamed softly.

War will kill people, which is indeed not a happy thing for many people who live and work in peace and contentment here. It looks like it will be another month and a half before the Chinese New Year. At this time, everyone is counting the days on their fingers. At the end of the year, the mining company will pay salaries for the whole year, as well as year-end bonuses, new year's goods, etc.

Now that we are used to living a comfortable life, who the hell wants to start a war again?
