The bandits should have avoided leaking information and set out quietly.
But firstly, Rongxian County is only so big, and the transfer of hundreds of people will definitely be known. Secondly, Wang Hengyue deliberately wants to tell everyone in Rongxian County that he can not only fight foreigners, but also bandits! He might as well make a big fuss!
The entire first team was gathered together.
Wang Hengyue specially put on the "British officer uniform" and hat. At first glance, he looked quite heroic. However, there was a revolver hanging on the left and right sides, which always seemed a bit nondescript.
It was also the first time for those who were soldiers to see their immediate superiors. They saw that their superiors' military uniforms were straight, their appearance was neat, and they had two pistols hanging on each side. They looked majestic and majestic. They were indeed very different from other officials. They had been training every day for several days.
As I recited the name of your Excellency, I also thought of the team officer punching the foreign barbarians and shocking Rong County, and I felt great admiration in my heart.
Wang Hengyue saw that the team was neatly organized. Although he didn't know how effective it was in combat, it was already somewhat presentable and he was proud of it. The only drawback was that the new military uniforms had not yet been completed and the weapons were really ugly.
But everything is difficult at the beginning. Now that the foundation has been laid, military uniforms and weapons will be available sooner or later.
"I am Wang Hengyue!" Wang Hengyue said angrily: "I don't know what you did in the past, but what are you doing now? I know! You are all soldiers, all my soldiers! Be soldiers, be soldiers.
, fight against the gun, protect the homeland and the country. A few days ago, there was an epidemic in several places around Rong County. The gentry organized a batch of medicinal materials. It was originally a good thing, but it turned out to be robbed by bandits! What a shame, it's me.
They were robbed right under my nose! Damn it, I have only been in office for a few days, and the bandits gave me a slap on the wrist. This is a clear sign that they will not give face to our officers!"
This speech was quite new, and the soldiers listened attentively:
"Whoever doesn't give me face, don't blame me for falling out! The bandit Lu Baoyin is wreaking havoc in the countryside, and now it's on me, I'm going to beat him up! Brothers, most of you are from Rong County, you even protect your own home
No, I'm still a bird soldier! Now Lu Baoyin is demonstrating against us, what do you think we should do?"
The soldiers were silent for a while, then suddenly they roared together in a shocking tone:
"Blow him to death!"
"Hit him like a fool!" Wang Hengyue also yelled: "Brothers, let's go!"
The morale of the brothers was mobilized, and they divided into several teams and left the military camp.
"Sir Wang, you are very good at motivating soldiers." Kleiman gave a thumbs up: "It's not a regular battle, it's just to fight bandits. Morale and the confidence of the soldiers are the most important. I think you will win."
Wang Hengyue said a few humble words: "Mr. Kleiman, you are a businessman, do you have to go with us? If you get hurt, I can't bear the responsibility."
"You don't need to take responsibility?" Kleinman said hurriedly: "I have also been a soldier, and I can take care of myself. I don't need anyone to protect me. I just have it to protect me."
As he spoke, he took out a revolver: "This is my best friend. When I return to China in the future, I will tell my friends that I used this revolver to fight the bandits."
As soon as they left the military camp, they saw that the elders of Rong County had been waiting for a long time under the leadership of Zhao Xi.
Those who came out of the military camp were all soldiers from Rong County, and cheers and shouts kept coming from the mouths of the people in Rong County. Zhao Xi stepped forward and said: "Master Wang led the soldiers to send out troops to suppress the bandits and protect peace. Today we are waiting for special
Come see me off. Your Excellency, the front is to suppress the bandits, and I will hold a banquet in the back to report the good news!"
Wang Hengyue cupped his hands and got on his horse: "Everyone, Wang will definitely return with Lu Baoyin's head!"
In an instant, cheers rang out again...
...
Molin Township.
The first team, Xie Shuixiang, set off early. By the time Wang Hengyue arrived with his large team, Xie Shuixiang had already figured out the basic situation here.
Molin Township is very close to the camp of the bandit Lu Baoyin, and it only takes more than an hour to get there.
"The biggest rich man here is called Yu Ruixiang."
As soon as Xie Shuixiang opened his mouth, Wang Hengyue nodded slowly. He had heard this name for a long time. He turned his head unintentionally, and suddenly found that Yu Lei beside him blinked his eyelids rapidly several times, and the strange look on his face swept away.
And passed.
Before I had time to think about what was going on, I heard Xie Shuixiang continue:
"Sir, that Yu Ruixiang is really stingy. Originally, my subordinates wanted to place the command post of Your Excellency at Yu Ruixiang's home, but Yu Ruixiang refused to agree, and found all kinds of excuses..."
"Don't worry about this, I will live with the brothers." Wang Hengyue didn't care too much about this: "I heard that Yu Ruixiang and Lu Baoyin colluded, have you investigated clearly?"
Xie Shuixiang gave a wry smile: "Sir, those villagers are very afraid of Yu Ruixiang. When I asked them, they refused to say anything no matter what. Everyone ran away after hearing it."
Wang Hengyue touched his nose: "What about Lu Baoyin's situation?"
"This thing is really weird." Xie Shuixiang said to the interface: "I knew this person before you came to Rong County. He is a very bad person. Once, a villager said, 'Lu Baoyin will die sooner or later'.
As a result, these words fell into the ears of Lu Baoyin. That night, the whole family of that villager was exterminated. The worst thing was that the villager had his sky lantern lit. Lu Baoyin also said viciously that you cursed me to die badly. Now let’s see who it is.
Don’t die a good death.”
Wang Hengyue was furious and temporarily suppressed his temper. He then heard Xie Shuixiang say: "But this man is very smart. He knows that Zhao Xi has a great reputation. If he offends Zhao Xi, he is afraid that he will not get good results. Therefore, as long as the Zhao family
No matter how valuable it is, he never touches it. Not only does he never go to the county seat of Rong County, but he also orders his subordinates not to go. But I don’t know what happened, and he actually robbed Zhao Xi.
goods.”
He took a breath and paused: "This man has eaten military rations before and knows how to march. His bandit lair is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and there are many guns. Sir, I am not saying this to be discouraging.
With the weapons we currently have, not only will it be difficult to break in in a hurry, but if we attack by force, we are afraid there will be casualties."
Wang Hengyue frowned. Xie Shuixiang's worries were not unreasonable. This was the first time he led the new army on an expedition. Not only could he not be defeated, but he could not win miserably. Otherwise, the impact on the morale of the new army would be considerable.
of.
Yu Lei suddenly said: "My lord, you don't have to attack forcefully. In fact, you just need to identify Lu Baoyin's weakness."
"Weakness? Where is his weakness?" Not only Wang Hengyue, everyone's eyes were on Yu Lei.
