Even if he doesn't come to plot against himself, Sun Dabiao will no longer encounter the Kun thief after being recruited by the Kun thief, and the Kun thief can calmly attack him. By then he will be in danger, and it will be regarded as a great act of kindness for this elder brother to watch the fire from the other side.
Otherwise, it might even add insult to injury.
Feng Haijiao, who was tormented by this kind of suspicion and fear, was worried. He always wondered whether he had made a mistake in being the "general boss"-if he had known better, he would have surrendered to the Australians. After thinking about it, he had no choice but to ask Bi Xuansheng.
Naturally, Bi Xuansheng could not tolerate Sun Dabiao being in two different situations. After all, the purpose of Yang Juren sending him was to cause trouble for the Kun thief in Yangshan and hold him back. If Sun Dabiao had both sides and was in a stalemate with Feng Haijiao, then Yangshan
There is still no chaos. Not only can there be no chaos, but as time goes by, Feng Haijiao will also waver.
He calls himself a little Zhuge, but he feels that he was always suppressed by his father before he could show his talents. Now that he is on his own, he naturally has to plan carefully.
Seeing Feng Haijiao come to ask him for advice, Bi Xuansheng knew that his opportunity had come. He whispered: "What I am worried about is! This Master Sun said that he and Dong Weng are in a blood alliance and will not attack each other. However, people are separated from each other.
Belly, just in case..."
"I know this, and there's no need for you to tell me!" Feng Haijiao said angrily, "Now that I'm on the Ming Dynasty's ship, I'm very weak. If the Australians come to attack, none of us can escape! Even yours
**Mr. Yang will also play on the swing sooner or later! MD, where are the firearms he said he gave me? And the ass seller named Zhan said he wanted to allocate money to me, but he hasn’t even seen a hair yet!
!”
Bi Xuansheng was slightly embarrassed: Of course, this empty promise cannot be taken seriously, but if he really pissed off the bandit leader and his own life was at risk, there was no guarantee that he would not stop doing anything and defect to the bandits.
"It takes a while to come from Huining and Wuzhou, and the road is not smooth now. It will be difficult for Masters Zhan and Yang to deliver things. We are in a situation where we cannot wait for them, so we have to do it ourselves..."
"Do it? Do it like this? Just tell me!" Feng Haijiao stared at his little eyes with a fierce look.
Bi Xuansheng trembled secretly, thinking that this guy is really an old water bandit with many years of experience! He couldn't help but put away his scornful heart, and said respectfully: "Master, please be patient, I have a plan..."
"The short break is over, everyone is ready to hit the road." You Ciren shouted while putting on his new sun visor and wiping sweat with a towel.
Following his shouts, the civilian laborers and national soldiers who had been lazily hiding under the shade of the trees walked out of the shade.
The weather in July is as hot as a fire. Since June, not a drop of rain has fallen in the sky. The mud roads are covered with a layer of floating ash, and the grass on the roadside has withered. This kind of weather will continue in the sun.
We were on our way, no wonder everyone was in a bad mood.
"Lieutenant, the weather is so hot, could you please rest for ten more minutes?" the corporal in charge of the civilian husband came over and said.
"You're confused! It's not even noon yet. Why don't you take a few steps to Dalangwei to get the tip while it's not too hot? Are you going to dry the human flesh in the afternoon?" You Ciren scolded, "Hurry up and leave now, we'll rest in the afternoon.
For a long time, I have to rush to the station in the afternoon. It’s dark and it’s not safe!”
The corporal was bored and had no choice but to leave and go to urge the civilians.
The peasants rearranged the ropes on the Zidian carts and tied them tightly. There were ten of these carts in total, with straw bags containing grain tied to them, as well as some uniformly styled but different-sized bags and boxes, all of which were
Covered with a red Iron Fist military emblem and a blue number. This is the packaging material uniformly produced by Lianqin.
This is a supply convoy transporting materials to Yonghua. Such supplies are delivered once a week. The transportation is mainly grain and some non-staple food items that cannot be transferred locally. Each vehicle carries three hundred kilograms and is equipped with two civilian men, one to pull and one to push.
, usually it’s not too strenuous, but now that the weather has become very hot, people feel that it is twice as hard as before when they go on the road.
In addition to twenty civilian husbands, there is also a squad of National Army soldiers to escort. Originally, such an escort did not require a second lieutenant officer like You Ciren, but due to the recent complicated situation, there are signs of unrest among the Yao people in Yonghua. Luo Yiming
So he sent him to Yonghua to investigate the local situation. You Ciren was a rare scholar-turned-officer in the National Army.
Originally, You Ciren had a great future in the Fubo Army. However, half a year later, he was diagnosed with a physical illness and was not suitable for military service. He was originally going to be discharged from the army. However, You Ciren was unwilling to go to the rear, so he was dismissed.
He was sent to Yangshan as the deputy chief of the Public Security Section. In order to facilitate his work, he usually wore the uniform of the National Army and the rank of lieutenant - the same as he was in the Fubo Army.
Within a few minutes, the team was completed. You Ciren checked the status of the convoy as usual and also checked the equipment of each soldier. The soldiers of the National Army generally have poor combat qualities and weak combat effectiveness, and their compliance with regulations is far less than that of Fu.
The Polish army therefore had to spend a lot of effort to correct their various minor problems.
"Every gun must be loaded with ammunition! Don't be afraid of trouble, let alone misfire!" You Ciren said tirelessly, "There is no peace in Yangshan yet, so we must always be alert to sudden attacks by the enemy!"
The soldiers and civilians looked sad, but finally Lieutenant You announced "Let's go", and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
You Ciren called the corporal to his side and whispered: "Ahead is Dalangwei. How is the situation there?"
This was the first time he led a team to escort supplies. He knew the situation in Dawangwei. Although Sun Dabiao, who was entrenched among them, accepted the recruitment, in fact, his troops had not been reorganized and transformed, and the supply convoy had to pass by, so he was naturally worried.
"It doesn't matter, Sun Dabiao is very knowledgeable." The corporal didn't take it seriously. "After he returned to Dalangwei, we often passed by his territory. Whether it was a supply convoy or a single person, he never dared to leave trouble. Every time he was a gift.
Those who left the country even asked us not to take our money when we ate at Dajian in Dalangwei..."
You Ciren nodded, but he was no longer worried. The powerful in these places are fickle. As soon as you become brothers, you may turn around and stab you in the back. He has always been disappointed with Wang Chuyi for not concentrating his efforts to capture Dalangwei in the first place.
There is a slander. How could this transportation artery leading to Yao District fall into the hands of someone like Sun Dabiao? If he gets into trouble, the squadron stationed in Yonghua will be very passive.
Although Wang Chuyi revealed his true purpose at the meeting, You Ciren felt that his calculation was very ridiculous and there were many uncontrollable factors. However, he could only talk to Luo Yiming about these words - after all, Wang Chuyi was just
He's the county magistrate.
The journey was uneventful, and the convoy arrived at Dawangwei before noon. When the regiment members who set up roadblocks saw that they were the National Army, they did not dare to be nagging, and quickly moved their horses away to let them pass.
Dalangwei is an important transportation route to the Yao District. It was originally a market town with developed commerce. However, during the Badai Yao Rebellion not long ago, the Yonghua Yao people broke into Dalangwei, looted and set fire to it.
Nine out of ten buildings in the inner streets were burned down. They have not yet recovered, and there are still ruins all over the ground. However, vendors have set up sheds and started doing business. The streets are quite lively. In addition to the local people who are returning one after another, the surrounding people
Common people also come here to go to the market and sell goods, and Yao people can be seen from time to time in the crowd.
As soon as they entered Wei, one of Sun Dabiao's housekeepers rushed over after hearing the news. He greeted them with greetings and polite remarks. Hearing that they wanted to fight locally, they led the supply convoy to an empty field. This was probably what kind of house it was originally.
Now there is only a piece of white ground left after the fire. Only a few bamboo sheds were built in the area, and tables and chairs with missing legs were placed underneath for passing merchants to eat.
"Come on, brothers, please sit down," the butler greeted, "I'm going to ask someone to prepare food..."
"Don't worry too much," You Ciren said, "It's hot and you can't eat greasy food. Choose fresh rice and vegetables."
"Yes, yes, the officer is right." The steward said, "Young men have ready-made food here. They are all eaten by passing merchants. Although it is rough, it is still clean."
As he asked the caregiver to bring the food, You Ciren took a look and saw that there were only cold rice porridge, pickled vegetables, and a large vat of mung bean soup. Not only were the utensils and food clean, but they also felt they were useful, and he nodded immediately.
The corporal whispered: "Lieutenant, we often shoot here, it won't be a problem. You can use it without any worries."
"Are the items on the convoy guarded?"
"They don't dare to move without guarding." The corporal often led a team to transport supplies and said with a sigh, "The car is under the shed opposite. They have sent people to watch. You are always afraid of losing things, and they are even more afraid!"
Then he laughed proudly.
You Ciren was very dissatisfied with his indolence, but judging from the current situation, Sun Dabiao was probably different from the bandits. After all, in his own territory, he probably wouldn't be too messy.
While I was eating, I saw a few Yao people sitting in a grass hut nearby, eating taro and other things, but they didn't see anything to eat. The waiter just put a stack of large bowls and a large pot of tea.
.
Looking at their complexions, they looked weak and weak. You Ciren felt strange and asked: "Since these Yao people are fighting here, why don't they eat?"
The housekeeper laughed and said: "They all come here to sell mountain products in exchange for salt. After exchanging salt, they rest here before going back. The gentleman is kind and pitiful for their poverty, so he allows them to rest in this shed and eat dry food and no tea.
their money."
"That's it." You Ciren nodded. Looking at the appearance of these Yao people, it was obvious that they had not eaten salt for a long time. Looking at the items they carried with them, the bamboo tubes containing salt were light and fluffy, and it was obvious that there was not much salt.
"How much does salt cost here?" You Ciren asked casually.
