After chatting casually with Shopkeeper Li at the restaurant, Zhang Wu took his leave, and then he wandered around the street with his hands behind his back. Whenever you meet a familiar shopkeeper, if the other party is not busy, you can't help but say hello and then chat a few words.

Although there are many shops on the street, if you look closely, you can find that these shopkeepers who have chatted with him are all doing business with the camp.

From restaurants to vegetable merchants, there must have been some connection with the military camp anyway, that is, from their mouths, Zhang Wutan heard a lot of news he needed.

The reason why the Great Qing Kingdom can be invincible has a very important connection with the use of the room, and he is here to listen to the news of the Great Qing Kingdom.

Of course, the Great Qing Kingdom will not treat him badly, if you can find out important news, you will get at least a few hundred taels of reward, for the silver Great Qing Kingdom is very generous, I don't know how many people have made a fortune because of this.

After walking around the street, Zhang Wu deliberately went to a manure field in the east of the city, that is, the collected human and animal manure was spread out to dry thoroughly, made into fertilizer, and sold to farmers for farming, which was basically equivalent to a fertilizer factory in later generations.

As early as the Southern Song Dynasty, there was this trade. For hundreds of years, there has been a well-established and lucrative manure recycling industry in China's urban and rural areas, and the missionaries who came to China during the Jiajing period were very surprised by this:

"Human manure is also used, and it needs to be bought with money, or exchanged for vegetables, and it is necessary to go to the door to collect manure. They have to pay or pay the equivalent before they are allowed to clean the toilets. ”

This line seems to be inconspicuous, but not everyone can do it, not only the investment is large, but also the drying field, dung man, acquisition, and processing all require a large amount of investment, and to divide the sphere of influence, to ensure quantitative acquisition, it takes a strong background to do it, in other words, it is the "dung tyrant", the master of black and white.

And Liang Wuye is the "dung tyrant" in the east of the city, and the east of the city is all in his charge, but to talk about business, you don't need to go to the dung field outside the city, where the smell is too big, not to mention other people is Liang Wuye himself is not happy, so Liang Wuye's Fengdeng line is at the entrance of Chengdong Street, when Daniel Zhang walked into Fengdengxing, he did not notice that there were people in the number staring at him.

It wasn't until Zhang Wu left again that he gave a few words to the people around him in a very low voice, and then left Fengdengxing quietly. The man went to a nearby teahouse and went straight to a private room in the building.

"The man did go to Fengdeng."

"Okay, I see, keep staring at him!"

Shi Lei, who was drinking tea, instructed that the prince was in charge of the war, he was in charge of intelligence, and he was also responsible for digging out the eyeliner of the Qing army.

As he had guessed, the men did go to a few places he had prepared. After all, if you want to inquire about the news of the barracks, those places are undoubtedly essential. And the manure farm is one of them.

"You don't seem to understand why I'm letting you stare over here, do you?"

Seeing that his subordinates didn't seem to understand, Shi Lei explained.

"But in every military camp, there are people like Liang Wu who collude with the officials in the camp to buy and sell the feces in the camp, thousands of horses, tens of thousands of people, and tens of thousands of catties a day.

Not only to keep an eye on him, but more importantly, to use him, the reason why this person is kept is to use this eyeliner to pass some information to Jiannu's side, after all, some things are just kept secret and cannot achieve the goal.

Now leave these eyes behind, just use them to pass on some false information, this trick is called "Ming Xiu Plank Road, Dark Chen Cang". Thinking of this, Shi Lei couldn't help but sneer.

"Pay attention to your side in the past two days, and inadvertently reveal to them what you need to let them know, and remember to wait for them to ask themselves."

Then he gave a few more orders to his subordinates, and Shi Lei looked up at the outside of the building, looking at the ice and snow outside the building, he silently said to himself in his heart.

"Lord Shizi, don't worry, there are small ones, true and false, false and true, for example, they may not be able to distinguish clearly if they are small......"

……

Zhu Guoqiang, who has left Yangzhou for two days, does not know the invisible secret battle in the city, in fact, what he is concerned about at the moment is not Yangzhou, but how to hide the troops' march, and even this march is itself a drill, in order to avoid being discovered by the people, in addition to sending rangers to reconnoiter to ensure the safety of the route, there is also their own camouflage.

White!

On the snow-covered land, if you don't get closer, it is difficult to find this group of people and horses standing on the river embankment, white clothes and white horses are completely hidden in the snow, Zhu Guoqiang, who is on the river embankment, looks at the officers and soldiers who are marching on the river embankment,

If you don't look closely, you won't be able to spot their existence at all, and they are all wearing white camouflage suits - in fact, white cloth cloaks. Not only the officers and soldiers wore camouflage uniforms, but even the war horses pulling sleds also wore white cloth cloaks.

White camouflage suits make it difficult to find them in the snow, and those wooden sleds with simple structures are extremely anti-natural existence, whether on foot or horse-drawn carriage on the snow is relatively difficult, therefore, horse-drawn sleigh has become the best choice, it is fast to march.

"Lord Shizi, these sleds are really gods! With it, march on the snow, even faster than a horse-drawn carriage. We walked a full hundred and fifty miles yesterday! It's much faster than we used to use horse-drawn carriages! ”

For Chen Wudi's praise, Zhu Guoqiang smiled.

"It's snowed heavily in the past few days, and the snow on the ground is thick before it can be used, and the most suitable place for it is still Liaodong."

Thanks to the experience gained from another world, in the face of the reality of thousands of miles of ice in the winter in Liaodong, Zhu Guoqiang chose horse-drawn sleighs to carry military supplies during the battle, and of course, the main tool for the soldiers to march. In the other world, it was by which the Russians conquered Siberia, and many of the military operations in Siberia and Northeast Asia were often carried out in the winter rather than in the summer, which seemed more suitable for combat. In winter, with a horse-drawn sleigh, a horse can pull several tons of goods, and its use is not limited by roads and rivers, it is simply a perfect "multi-functional transport vehicle", for such a good thing, Zhu Guoqiang of course directly chose to take it. In any era, on the battlefield, sometimes maneuver is combat effectiveness. And the mobility of this Northern Expedition is even more related to the success or failure of the entire operation.

"But no, Lord Shizi, if Mao Shuai had this thing back then, in that place in Liaodong, in winter, he still wanted to fight Tartars, just fight Tartars! Wherever you want, go wherever you want? ”

For Mao Chengzhi, who had followed Mao Wenlong to attack the hinterland of the Manchu Qing Dynasty in Liaodong many times, from the first time he saw these horse-drawn sleighs. I realized what kind of convenience it would bring to the movement of the army in the ice and snow.

Mao Chengzhi's exclamation fell on Zhu Guoqiang's ears, and his brows locked slightly.

"The most important thing is the concealment of the whereabouts during the march, the horse-drawn sleigh is fast, but if you want to hide from the world, you have to ensure that you can hide your whereabouts after landing, after all, we are going to have a time difference with Jiannu, and before Jiannu reacts and transfers the troops back, we will fight under the city of Shenyang!"

Time difference!

In fact, the core of this Northern Expedition is the time difference, to hit Huang Taiji by surprise, you must conceal your whereabouts, only suddenly under the city of Shenyang, it is possible before Huang Taiji returns to Shenyang, erosion of the hinterland!

"Shiziye, you can rest assured, Liaodong is different from here, it is vast and sparsely populated, and the Han people in Liaodong have been killed so many times by Jiannu over the years, there are fewer people, and the possibility of exposure is naturally less, even if there are people, nine times out of ten they are also our own people, when Mao Shuai used soldiers to build the hinterland of slaves, ......"

When Mao Chengzhi explained Mao Wenlong's tactics of using troops behind enemy lines, the river bank at the end of his line of sight was full of hundreds of sea ships......
