The earth barrier is not high, only one person high. But with the bamboo fence, there are more than one. The upper ends of the fence are all sharpened and baked hard, and there are small window holes, which are about blast holes, at intervals. Below the earth barrier, there are also surrounding
There are trenches connected to the river. There are also many towers made of bamboo on top of the earthen fortress, with the figures of Kun soldiers swaying on them.
Luo and Yinglue were well versed in military strategy and knew that this camp looked very simple, but these facilities, coupled with a team of elite soldiers, were enough to withstand an enemy attack that was ten times more powerful.
"How many soldiers are there here?"
"I don't know about this," the waiter said with a smile, "but these workers usually live in the camp, maybe a few hundred people."
"What nonsense are you talking about!" Li Guangyuan said dissatisfied, "How many people are there in a few hundred people? They have been constructing here for months, and you don't even know how many people there are?! You are a loser!"
The clerk looked aggrieved. The rules of the pawnshop were extremely strict. Except for the shopkeeper who could go out to socialize, the clerk was no different from being imprisoned. He had food and lodging in the pawnshop and was not allowed to go out for leisure. During the first and fifteenth day of the month, he could only take leave to take a shower or get a haircut.
, it can only be a return trip on the same day, and you must have an emergency to go home before you can be granted leave. Let alone the Australian who has been here for more than a month, he has no way of knowing even if he has been here for three to five years.
But this time when the boss was scolding him, the waiter could only listen with a low eyebrow. After Mr. Li finished showing off his authority, he whispered: "Young men are not allowed to leave the shop on weekdays. However, it sounds like there is something going on in the shop."
Idle people say that there are a lot of people living inside. When unloading, bags of rice are transported inside..."
"Oh, where did this rice come from? Isn't it supplied by the Fan family?"
"I heard that Kun Ren owns the brand. The Fan family only supplies vegetables to Kun Ren."
Li Guangyuan snorted, and while he was disdainful, he was actually a little envious in his heart. The thief Kun was blind! He actually got together with Fan Xiao, an old guest!
Luo Hetu didn't know what was going on in Master Li's mind. He just looked at the camp, and after a while he said, "Is there a place to climb up here? I want to take a look inside the Kunthief camp."
The waiter looked confused and said: "There is a literary tower nearby, but it's still some distance away, and you can't see clearly even if you climb up.
Luo Heying said: "It's okay, I have a telescope. Just lead the way."
The boy led the way, leaving Xiaoyao Market and walking along the fields and paths for a long time before arriving at a high hill next to the river branch.
Sure enough, there is a literary pagoda standing here. Although the shape is similar, this type of pagoda is not a "pagoda" in the Buddhist sense, but is built out of the meaning of Feng Shui. The scales vary. Some of them cannot be climbed. But this one
The shape is small, but there are stairs in the middle to go up and down.
It’s just that the area on each floor is too small. When the three of them came to the top of the smallest tower, they were almost face to face. Looking out of the small window, Momo Lake could see the Kunthief Barracks in the distance. Luo Heying took out his binoculars and took a closer look.
Watch.
I saw that the bandit's camp was roughly rectangular, with a small mound in the middle. If you look closely, this mound is the only commanding height near the new dock.
The surrounding fortifications are the same as those seen from the outside. Behind the wall are ladders and scaffolding for shooting from a height. There are actually cannons on the empty field.
Although there are only two small cannons, in terms of armament alone, this camp is already considered impregnable. Luo Heying was secretly frightened, what is the intention of this bandit to set up such a tight defense here?
Looking inside the camp, the houses are all long and neatly arranged. There are several strange-looking objects in the open space, all covered with curtains. I don’t know what they are. I can’t help but ask: "What are those?"
Under the veil.”
The clerk took the telescope and looked at it. He hesitated for a moment and then said: "It is said that it is a steel beast from Australia. When using it, you must first feed it with coal slime to make the beast furious, and then enter the iron cage on the back of the beast.
It is said that this giant beast is of earth nature, and its whole body is covered with fine iron shackles made by Australian secrets. Every time it uses force, it roars and shakes the sky. It is extremely powerful and is especially good at digging earth and moving mountains. The giant beast is very good at digging and moving mountains.
When the beasts walk, they are like thunder. If these giant beasts are allowed to break free of their shackles, it will be terrible. The giant beasts will immediately burrow into the ground, causing unrest in the area for dozens of miles. The Kunbing camp is full of these giant beasts.
I helped build it, but it was completed in just a few days.”
「
Oh, how many people can live in this long house?"
"I don't know much about it. I just heard from the civilian husband who was recruited by the Kun people that the long rooms are equipped with two-level beds. One long room can accommodate about fifty people."
Luo Heying carefully counted the number of longhouses. There were about 200 Kun people who lived in the camp all year round. Although most of them were husband servants and there were not too many soldiers, the husband servants could fight with swords and guns. This village
I really can’t take it off anytime soon.
The three of them came down from the tower and returned to the pawn shop. Luo Heying asked, "You just said that place is a geomantic treasure. The family buried there produced three talented people. Who are these families?"
Before the waiter could speak, Li Guangyuan said with a smile: "Brother Luo! Don't listen to this nonsense! That river beach is a righteous land, and those buried there are either poor people with no place to stand, or people who don't know where they came from."
How could a family that could produce a scholar build a tomb there? It’s a treasure of Feng Shui, but it’s not a bad place.”
The waiter smiled coquettishly and said, "Master, I heard others say that."
Luo Heying was thinking about what could be used in this matter. If the thieves really dug up people's ancestral graves, this matter could be used to great advantage, but if they just cleared the grave site, there would be no profit to be honest.
.He thought for a while and proposed to open a shop near the new pier.
"This is easy, the land there is extremely cheap." Li Guangyuan agreed, "Just let shopkeeper Wu come forward to handle it."
"The house doesn't need to be big, a simple one is better. I plan to open a tea and rice shop." Luo Yingying said, "When the time comes, I'll have to trouble you to introduce a few people to do the work."
"Every little thing, it's all on me!"
A few days ago, near the new wharf, a restaurant that was so simple that it didn’t even have a restaurant opened. It was said to be a shop, but in fact it only had one room as a kitchen. A reed mat shed was set up on the wasteland, and simple tables and chairs were placed under the shed.
It is as simple as it is simple, but the business here is not bad. Luo Heying does it to get information, not to make money. Therefore, the price is cheap, and there is a large Australian construction site nearby. In addition to the core workers, a large number of outsourced workers are
Recruited locally, Australians don't care about the food. As soon as this restaurant opened, it became popular because of its high quality and low price.
Luo Heying was really able to relax and work as a handyman in this restaurant, carrying water and firewood every day, busy with other things, and keeping an eye on the Australian construction.
He knew a lot about the Australians and did not expect to successfully break through the camp after seeing the fortifications. However, the "higher up" said that as long as he could set off a frenzy of anti-bandit thieves here and attract the bandits' attention, it would be fine.
.
He knew a little about the art of war, so he naturally understood that this was a strategy of attacking in the east and attacking in the west. It didn't matter whether he could break the camp, but he still had the idea of breaking the camp.
His such intentions, in addition to the hatred of the country and the family, also include the dream of becoming a successful person. Because Taoist Mu Shi has already said that if he can take the head of a real thief this time, he can be awarded a fifth-level military position; if he captures a fake executive, he will be rewarded
Seventh-grade military position. This was a great temptation for Luo Heying, who had only tasted the taste of "fame" briefly.
An important piece of information was revealed in what the man said just now. This place is an important building site for bandit thieves, and real bandits or important fake bandits often come here to patrol. If they can break through the stronghold and kill them, this will be a great achievement...
Thinking of this, his heart became a little hotter.
Luo Heying learned more information from the conversations with the employees who came here to eat.
It turns out that there are not many fake beards in this camp. In addition to the thirty fake beard soldiers stationed there, they are often replaced as the project progresses. Sometimes there are more than thirty people, and sometimes there are only a dozen or so.
Human beings all have skills, some know how to control the iron monster; some know how to locate Feng Shui; some know how to build houses and roads...
Although there were few people, there were many houses in the camp. In addition to the longhouses and warehouses he saw on the tower, many other houses were being built, but the specific purpose was unknown.
As for the real hairdressers who are not permanent, they will come once or twice a month, and they are all "skilled". They come for a few days and then leave. As long as they see a Japanese warrior wearing an iron hat or a Korean wearing a big hat and white clothes.
When the soldiers arrive, it means that a true wife has arrived.
【In view of the general environment,
As for the purpose of the camp, it is said that it is the "yamen" of the thieves, but no one can tell which level of the yamen fell to the ground. It is said that this "yamen" is different from ordinary yamen, except for the collection of taxes and circuit laws.
In addition to the court hearings, we also need to engage in "promotion". It is said that we will teach everyone how to raise silkworms and reel silk, and set up schools, warehouses, and workshops in the town. From now on, men will work in the workshops and women will raise silkworms and reel them.
Silk, all the children go to school, everyone has a job, and everyone can live a good life...
Luo Heying just secretly laughs when he hears this. You should also take what this thief says seriously! Since ancient times, there have been people who are superior, and there are people who are inferior. Even if everyone is living a good life, there will naturally be people who are living a better life - but right now, the thief is
It’s hard to tell whether the people can have enough to eat. It’s really bragging that they don’t have to pay taxes...
"What a yamen! You are all talking nonsense! How can there be such a yamen in the world!" A middle-aged man sneered, "You know nothing!"
"You know nothing, tell me!" Everyone was dissatisfied.
"Let me tell you, the Australians practice Feng Shui here, either to destroy the Ming Dynasty's dragon aura, or to find dragon caves and build mausoleums..."
Luo Heying was stunned. He really had never thought of this. Although it sounded a bit false, it had to be said that it was not impossible. After the thief landed, everything went smoothly without any setbacks. No matter how dangerous the crisis was, he could be easily solved.
If they got through, they might have some secret method of feng shui, which could break the Ming Dynasty's royal aura.
