Chapter 72: Crisis

"What do you mean by that?" Seeing that this mother-in-law really has some goods, Lao Zhoutou doesn't care about being scolded for being wasted, if it is usual, he has to jump up and slap this mother-in-law.

"How? You said that those who killed a thousand knives came to kill people because of the salt, and now you know that the salt is dry, will those people not kill us? You are a scared wreck, why don't you tell the owner quickly, so that the owner can take precautions as soon as possible. His mother-in-law was really angry, her tone of voice was a little trembling, and her fingers kept trembling, and she threw the spatula stuck in her waist when she was angry.

"Okay, okay, I'll go." Lao Zhou hugged his head and ran away, and after dodging the spatula, he hurried to the salt field. Wang Wenyan happened to come over to inspect today, and he was checking the inventory in the warehouse, and he wouldn't be able to see anyone if it was too late.

Rushing all the way to the warehouse, Lao Zhoutou couldn't take any breath, and hurriedly buried the things he had been in his heart. After listening to this, Wang Wenyan was also shocked.

"You said that ten years ago, someone also wanted to build a salt drying field here, but was killed by bandits ashore?" Wang Wenyan asked in disbelief, this is not an ordinary place, this is Tianjin Wei, the place where the Son of Heaven crosses Tianjin, there are three acropolis not far away Looking at Haiphong, where do the bandits dare to land here and kill people?

"Huhu~" After taking a few breaths, Lao Zhoutou patted his chest and promised: "The owner, the little one really didn't lie, he was really killed, the owner, you have to be careful." ”

"How do you know that those people were killed because they built a salt plant, not for a vendetta or a murder?" The shrewd Wang Wenyan soon discovered something wrong. How could such a confidential matter be known to an old Yanding.

"Owner, the last time I came to look for you, I met Xiao Xiao ten years ago, and he had a conflict with the people who were going to build a salt factory here, and when he left, he directly threatened to let them wait for death. They were talking outside, and the man was young, arrogant, and loud, so the little one heard it and wrote something. Old Zhou Tou explained the situation in detail, and finally, he squirmed his lips and reminded him: "Owner, there have been a lot more merchants here recently. I came four or five times last month, and I've come seven or eight times this month. ”

This news immediately made Wang Wenyan's heart flutter, and he immediately paid attention to it. There is only such a dilapidated village around here, and it is indeed unusual to have so many merchants in a month. Thinking about it carefully, and connecting all the strange things before, he suddenly felt that what Lao Zhou Tou said was true.

He didn't come here in vain, in Changlu Town, he used his usual efforts in the county office, and quickly got mixed up, and there were some dealers who had received his favor and wanted to get salt goods from him quietly ordered him in private, but he was ignored by him who was patronizing salt production at that time.

"I'm afraid this matter is not easy to handle, I have to discuss it with my uncle and Grandpa Zhang." After muttering to himself, Wang Wenyan came back to his senses and found that Lao Zhoutou was still behind, so he waved his hand, "Okay, you did a good job, if something really happens, the salt farm has survived this difficulty, and your benefits are indispensable." ”

"Thank you, owner." Lao Zhoutou retired with a happy face, and after living for most of his life, he finally met an owner who appreciated him, which was really bittersweet.

With this important news obtained by chance, Wang Wenyan returned to Changlu Town. Tianjin Sanwei is a military household health station, which is not suitable for living, and the salt transfer department is located in Changlu Town, so their residence is naturally arranged here.

After returning to his residence on the most central street in Changlu Town, Wang Wenyan quickly gathered the leading figures in the group this time, such as Uncle Wang Sheng, Little Father-in-law Zhang Shize, Luo Yangxing, and the singer of the imperial grandson, the eunuch Wei Zhongxian.

After everyone gathered, Wang Wenyan announced the news, and his expressions suddenly changed.

"Let's go back quickly, there are pirates killing people, it's so dangerous." This is the son-in-law brother Zhang Shize. He looked nervous and looked around, for fear that the pirates would appear now.

"In broad daylight, there are bandits rampant, and there is no royal law!" This is Wang Sheng, he is not afraid, but what he said made Wang Wenyan frown, when did he say such official words.

"Report to the local government and organize a large army to encircle and suppress." Wei Zhongxian said angrily. It's a good idea, it's just too long.

"Mobilize the forces of the nearby Tianjin Sanwei and the local Jinyi Guard, and prepare to resist the encirclement and suppression." This is Luo Yangxing, a typical martial artist thinking, but it is also the most reliable one.

As for Wang Wenyan, he frowned and thought deeply, in the face of this crisis situation, he had no good way for a while.

At this time, Zhu Youxiao came out of the Qianqing Palace with a smile on his face, and the gift he prepared made Wanli very satisfied, and even praised him for his filial piety, and he didn't forget his grandfather when he was so busy. In fact, the things prepared by Zhu Youzhen are not unusual, just a rattan chair, a few old man's music and a few chairs with padded backrests, but I didn't expect it to make Wanli very happy.

As soon as Wanli was happy, he agreed to his full mouth, not only allowed him to go to the outskirts of the city for armed training and spend the night outside, but even asked him to go to the inner court or the Ministry of Industry to select the craftsmen he wanted.

"I smirk, I smirked." The happy Zhu Youxiao hummed an unknown song, and walked out of the Qianqing Palace and went to the garrison of the forbidden army in the East Palace.

After returning to the station, he did not waste any time in the evening, except for letting the eunuchs in Tsing Yi give literacy to those teenagers as usual, and he gathered twenty squad leaders to teach them lessons.

Soon, twenty newly appointed junior officers had arrived. After the twenty people sat down in turn, Zhu Yousha entered the small room.

"Your Highness." As soon as Zhu Youxiao walked in, twenty people immediately got up and bowed down on one knee to salute with a crackling voice. It was indeed crackling, the space was a little small, and the action of the military salute was relatively large, hitting the table and chair next to it. But despite this, everyone's etiquette is very standard, and there is no deformation at all, which shows the results of their training during this time.

"Stand up!"

"Take a break!"

"Stand upright!"

"Look to the right!"

"Look ahead!"

"Sit down!"

Zhu Youxiao completely followed the rules of the army, and these teenagers were also used to it, and every night of the cultural drill class was like this, every move was a rule, and the four months of uninterrupted training and let these rules penetrate into every bit of their lives.

Among them, Li Yuyu, who stood in the first row, paid special attention to Zhu Youxiao, and in the series of actions just now, he did the most brilliant. This brilliance does not mean that they are more standard than the other nineteen people in terms of action and demeanor, they are all carefully selected by Zhu Youxiao, and the level is about the same. It is a kind of overall feeling and temperament, it seems that Zhu Youxiao's series of rules and engraved into his bone marrow, all movements, all expressions, are so natural, so natural.

This is a born military man!

Zhu Youxiao made a comment on Li Yuyu from the bottom of his heart, he liked this teenager a little.

"Although you are only newly appointed, after three or four months of getting along, everyone is already familiar with each other, so I will not engage in those false things, and I will directly start to explain to you the tactical thinking of the entire East Palace Forbidden Army, as well as the outline of training." Looking at the twenty teenagers who were on their sleeves, he smiled slightly and began his own teaching. Seriously, these twenty teenagers are his real flutes, and they are also the seeds from which his new army takes root.

"For the battle between the two armies, I understand it like this, that is, to expand our lethality, suppress the lethality of the other side, and bet as much of our lethality as possible on the enemy." Spread out the infantry phalanx drill that you compiled by yourself, Zhu Youxiao talked eloquently, explaining his name and opinion little by little.

"Compared to chaotic conflicts, a neat phalanx can protect our soldiers as much as possible and kill and wound the enemy. The second is good protection and long-range strikes......"

Soon, half an hour passed, and Zhu Youxiao also ended his teaching, today he only roughly expounded his own concept, and did not elaborate, but even so, it made these teenagers suddenly realize that they understood the profound meaning of queue training.

"I see, I finally understand why I need to practice steering!"

"Yes, yes! I realized that it was so important to walk. ”

On the contrary, it was Li Yuyu, whose clothes looked puzzled, he stood up and plucked up the courage to ask Zhu Youxiao: "Your Highness, among the three major steps, after your explanation just now, running and walking in unison are helpful for combat, but what about the positive steps?" What is the use of this for combat? ”

His question made the little friends around him stunned, they really didn't think about it, what is the use of this pace, Li Yuyu asked, and they also noticed this problem.

"yes, what's the use of that step? The legs are raised so high, and I am tired and walking unfast. ”

For a while, the twenty teenagers all looked at Zhu Youxiao with wide eyes, hoping that he would give an answer.

"Hehe, the army, not only must there be a need for combat, but also a need for propaganda." After Zhu Youxiao said such an unfathomable sentence, he didn't explain and walked out directly.

It's just that before going out, he turned his head again and said to the twenty squad leaders who were still confused and thoughtful: "Don't hide these things I will have, tell them to the people in your class during the lunch break tomorrow, I will investigate, and if there is a problem, remember to react." ”

After speaking, Zhu Youxiao left directly.

His words immediately made the room explode.

"Ah, I still have to tell others, I haven't even remembered it myself."

"It's over, butcher, quick, I didn't understand a passage just now, you tell me about it."

"Xiaoyu'er, quick, here, I don't understand much, you can point me out."

For a while, there was chaos in the room, everyone asked each other to learn and recall, and determined the content of Zhu Youxiao's lecture just now, some of them were relatively fast, and they were already able to take notes by themselves, and they were watching nervously at the moment. Tell the people in your class that this is something that everyone expected. Even Li Yuyu, who had always been extremely calm, began to get busy nervously, reviewing what Zhu Youxiao had just explained, and organizing the language in his mind.

To be elected as the squad leader this time, everyone is very good, and naturally there is a sense of superiority in their hearts, and everyone doesn't want to lose face in front of everyone, even if it is their own people. Besides, His Highness will also investigate, who knows if the results of the inspection are good or not, and whether it will affect him.

No one dares to slack off.
