However, he thought of another thing. Although he was uneducated, when he was wandering as a child, he heard the old people in the countryside talk about ancient times. It was mentioned in it: In order to verify that the emperor's favor for him lasted, the favored ministers of ancient officials would
Play on purpose and ask for some undue grace.
If the emperor agrees immediately, it means that he still favors him. If he hesitates before agreeing, his favor has faded. If he refuses immediately, it is time to retire and return home.
Now he can also use the drama box to test Chief Xie's opinion of him. If he has more trust in himself, then he can slowly think of ways to drive Jiang Yougong away.
As for what he did in the camp, the Sanhezui camp was basically a closed camp. Apart from him, there was no other naturalized cadre inside. Jiang Yougong, who was responsible for supervising the security on the outside, and he again
He was colluding. No one among the retained staff dared to tease him - after all, he had the power of life and death in the camp. Even though he did many things that aroused public resentment, the captives and refugees at least had no worries about their livelihoods.
Won't cause trouble.
Thinking about it this way, he felt confident, so he came here specifically to see Erren today.
"What do you have to report?"
"That's it." Liu Youwang carefully sat down on the stool, "I set up a theater troupe in the Sanhezui camp."
"Oh, theater troupe?" This thing is really new! Xie Erren thought.
"Yes," Liu Youyou thought to himself, it depends on the routine Chang Qingyun taught him, right? "The prisoners in the camp were originally troupe members, actors and musicians raised by wealthy families. Among the refugees from outside,
There are people like this. I thought about it. There were so many captives and refugees in the camp. Even though the Senate gave them food and allowed them to work, after all, there were still thousands of people gathered together. They were not given any entertainment, and they were depressed for a long time.
I'm afraid it will cause trouble."
At this point, he looked at Xie Erren's face and saw that his expression was as usual, and then he had the courage to continue: "So I'm thinking about organizing them, setting up a troupe to perform, and providing some entertainment for everyone.
, secondly, it can also be used as a position for literary and artistic propaganda..."
This is the time to scratch the itch of getting to know Erren. He himself is a literary and propaganda person, and he also participated in many mass propaganda activities when he was in high school. He has both theory and experience in this regard. After arriving in Wuzhou, he also
It was a small trial, and I did a lot of publicity work - although the conditions were limited, I could only paint slogans on the walls and do some newspaper reading columns.
He carefully looked at the strong man in front of him, and he could not imagine that such a rough man could think of "literary weapons" - it is true that people cannot be judged by their appearance. The influence of the Senate on people is really powerful. Thinking of this, Xie You
Jen sincerely praises the Old Home for the Elderly.
When Liu Youwang saw the chief staring at him, he couldn't help but feel weak in his legs and felt guilty. Chang Qingyun gave him the idea of elevating the troupe to the level of "literary propaganda" and boasting, which would definitely impress Chief Xie -
―Because Australians have the best taste.
Chang Qingyun spent several years in the Lingao prisoner-of-war camp. Although it was physically tortured for him, he later felt that it was a rare training. In Lingao, he saw many things that he had never dreamed of.
, through the words, deeds and policies of the Kun thieves, we can figure out their thoughts to some extent. Thinking back to my understanding of the Kun thieves before the Chengmai War, I was as ignorant as a child, but also so arrogant.
Now he is giving Liu Youyou advice, not only to cater to the taste of the thief Kun, but also to figure out the person Jie Kun - he is very good at this kind of ability. During these days in the prisoner camp, he either went out or
When doing things or listening to people talk, you can basically understand Kun's temperament and hobbies. So this idea is very targeted. I can't say it is 100% effective, but it will definitely hit the target.
His judgment was indeed correct, and a smile appeared on Xie Erren's face: "Your idea is very good."
Seeing that Chief Xie was affirming himself, Liu Youwang immediately gained confidence and said with a smile: "This is not what the Senate teaches! I used to read newspapers and the Chief said: 'Literature and art are weapons and positions. We must occupy this
position'……"
"I didn't expect that your theoretical level is not bad." Xie Erren praised him greatly. "In that case, you can continue to run this troupe. After a few days, when the situation stabilizes, you may be asked to come to Wuzhou City to perform.
Woolen cloth."
"Yes, I have asked them to rehearse a play recently - but they only know old plays at the moment. I want to rehearse a few new plays but they don't have a script."
"This is easy." Xie Erren was in a good mood at the moment, "I'll ask Lianqin to deliver the script in a few days."
"Thank you so much, Chief, for your concern." Liu Youhope made a grateful expression, "There is one more thing."
"you say."
"The opera troupe was rehearsing recently, but there was no opera box, so they could only sing a cappella and couldn't perform." Liu Wangwang said, "Later, some prisoners said that there was a opera box in the main town hall left by the eunuchs who guarded Wuzhou decades ago.
.I would like to ask if you can lend these theater boxes to the theater troupe temporarily?"
"Is there still this in the Third General Office?" This was somewhat beyond Xie Erren's expectation. According to the rules, these things are registered by the Planning Institute. Some are used locally, and some are sent later. Things like theater boxes are given priority.
The level is at the bottom, so it doesn't matter if he applies for local use. If he wants to borrow it temporarily, it will be easy to register it.
"It's easy, I'll just coordinate it." Xie Yiren nodded, "You just bring a few people to Zhao Zhao Toyota tomorrow and move the boxes away - for the time being, I'll lend them to you, and we'll go through the formalities later.
.But you have to keep an eye on things, don’t miss them and they’ll get damaged.”
"Yes!" Liu Hope stood up and said, "I will tell them to take good care of it. Don't worry, chief."
"I trust you." Xie Erren made an appreciative expression, "The grain fleet is coming soon. You have to suppress the camp and not cause any commotion."
"yes!"
This Master Chang is really a talent! Liu Youwang couldn't help but pat his thigh after coming out of Xie Erren's place. Now it seems that not only Master Chang is capable, but Chief Xie also trusts him, so it's just around the corner to kill Jiang Yougong!
Early on the morning of August 4th, the No. 1 Squadron set off from Wuzhou on a patrol vessel of the Inland River Fleet and began their cruise. This cruise was different from the past - usually the cruise was a day trip. But today, they had to cruise until
Fengchuan County, where they waited for the arrival of the grain transport fleet and then escorted them back.
Qian Duo stood on the tower of Nanxunmen and watched the fleet slowly leave with black smoke spewing out. He felt a little uneasy. After the first squadron set off, Wuzhou's defense force was severely weakened. Only a huge city remained.
His company came to guard.
Overlooking Sanhezui, the pontoon locks the river, and smoke is lingering in the camp. Bugles are heard from all the camps. Hearing the trumpets, Qian Duo's heart is slightly at ease. This is what the Third Squadron of the National Army in Sanhezui is doing now.
He became the only foreign aid he could rely on.
However, he was not at ease with the Third Squadron and Jiang Yougong - Jiang Yougong had strong old army habits, and most of his subordinates were recruited from the Ming army. He still had some fighting capacity on the battlefield, but his discipline was loose and his toughness was lacking.
Not enough. Can't count on it at critical times.
"Pass my order, the Dezheng Gate will not be opened today, only four gates will be opened. The sentries and patrols everywhere will be reduced by half."
Reduce the city gate sentries and patrols so that he can allocate a platoon of people to rest during the day and take on duty at night.
He handed over the duties of guarding and patrolling the gap to the "security team" under the command of Zheng Ergen. Most of these people were retained yamen servants and poor people recruited on the spot, and they purely acted as door gods to maintain law and order.
"Captain Zhu, do you think there is anything we need to strengthen now?" Qian Duo asked.
Zhu Si now has the title of Captain of the National Army, but in fact he has become a mere commander. He only has two guards and one messenger left in the city to take direct command. He has been accompanying Qian Duo everywhere throughout the day.
Wandering around, following behind, shouting and drinking six.
The success stories of the Wuzhou Integrated Squadron spread frequently. The names of Li Dong and his subordinates appeared many times in the commendation announcements within the army, which made Zhu Si feel very uncomfortable.
"Li Dong, this guy is so damn lucky!" Zhu Si now felt a great sense of crisis. Li Dong's squadron performed so well. It would be a very quick thing to receive awards and promotions for meritorious service. It might not be long before it is adapted into
Fubo Army - This kind of thing has already happened on the battlefields of Guangdong and Guangxi. He is the dignified captain of Fubo Army, and he will start to tremble in front of him... When he thinks about how he made things difficult for him in the past, he will never
What should I do if I want to take revenge on myself once I become rich?
However, he secretly comforted himself that the battle in northern Guangdong would not end in ten and a half days, and he might die at some point - the casualties of the National Army were not small, and from time to time, a squadron would be completely destroyed.
news that the army was annihilated or severely damaged.
In contrast, his stay in Wuzhou was uneventful. As long as the war went smoothly, he would be indispensable in the final discussion of merit awards and promotions. Thinking of this, he became more open-minded again.
Upon hearing Qian Duo's inquiry, he immediately responded: "Captain Qian's arrangements are in place. I have nothing to add. Although the number of troops at night is small, we have city walls and gates. After closing the gates, don't talk about small groups of enemies.
Thousands of Ming troops cannot break through."
This is not an exaggeration. After Wuzhou's city walls have been repaired, any enemy who wants to attack the city under the firepower of the Fubo Army must be equipped with cannons and various siege machinery.
"What about the surrounding situation?"
"The detective team came back last night and reported that no large groups of enemies were found within 15 kilometers of the city."
Qian Duo didn't say anything. To be honest, if the person responsible for the reconnaissance was Fubo Army, then he would be relieved. However, a mixed team of retained personnel like the detective team is really hard to trust.
