In Jiang Yugang's design of the method of defeating the Luchuan army, the first step was to enter the mountain, and he needed to go deep into the cottage and start from winning the hearts of the people in the cottage to change the situation between the Ming army and the Luchuan army.

Whether it is the grain, grass and metal resources in the cottage, or the young and middle-aged manpower, they are the goals of this mountain.

Now it is almost the fourteenth year of orthodoxy, and two things have happened in this year: the withdrawal of the army from Luchuan and the change of Tumubao, with his strength, he is powerless to change the latter, but the former, he must fight. Even if it is not for the reversal of the feelings of the universe after coming to the Ming Dynasty, it must be for himself.

………………

In the next few days, the members of the intelligence department found Jiang Yugang and Ah Tian one by one and checked the map they had drawn, the first lesson of this reconnaissance was basically completed, and the second lesson was camouflage.

If you want to infiltrate the cottage, then whether it is clothing or behavior, it is bound not to make the people in the cottage too suspicious, if you attract too much attention to their own identity, then all kinds of reconnaissance work are difficult to carry out, and it is almost impossible to really win the trust of the villagers.

In terms of language, there are not many problems. From the Hongwu period to the Orthodox period, this area experienced many large army attacks from the direction of Yunnan, because of the continuous war, with the Ming Dynasty marched and brought about the migration of the perennial stable population, so that the accent of the villagers in the cottage here is not much different from the accent of the Ming soldiers from Yunnan.

And in terms of the disguise of clothing and behavior, An Bai, an executive officer of the Intelligence Department who successfully infiltrated Nansang Village and did many businesses, became the teacher of everyone else.

An Bai laboriously pulled out a half-person-high bamboo basket, which was full of washed and cleaned clothes full of Luchuan local customs.

"If you want to go into the mountains, you should first choose a favorite outfit." He showed a somewhat smug expression and introduced to everyone: "They were all stripped from the bodies of those Luchuan soldiers who died on the Manggu Mountain. ”

"Among these Luchuan soldiers, many of them do not have standard armor or military uniforms, and are wearing ordinary people's clothes, which makes it easier for us to infiltrate." Jiang Yu muttered.

"These clothes are the traditional costumes of the Luchuan people, after wearing them, pay a little attention to the accent, and you will never be found out about the identity of the Ming soldiers." An Bai said: "Every time I go into the mountains to hunt, I will change into a dress, and on the way I meet the hunters in the stockade, and when I talk to them, no one has ever doubted them. ”

"Our Ming army, how can anyone wear the clothes of the dead of the enemy," Ah Tian frowned as if he had smelled something unpleasant: "Of course they won't suspect you." ”

"It is precisely because no one in the other armies has done this that we have a better chance to do it," Jiang Yu looked at An Bai approvingly: "An Bai, you have done a good job, what the Intelligence Department needs is a brain like yours." ”

"Thank you for the compliment." An Bai touched his head and smiled.

"Now there are four preliminarily selected cottages: the largest, Nansang Village, with a population of about 600; The other three cottages are much smaller: Baihe Village, with a population of about 200, Shannan Village, with a population of about 100, and Muzhai, with a population of about 100. Chen Ziyu looked at all the information in his hand at the moment, and his expression was serious and serious.

"The latter two cottages, Shannan Village and Muzhai Village, have very little communication with the outside world, and I am afraid that it will be too eye-catching for us to send people over rashly." Chen Ziyu raised worriedly.

"Indeed." Jiang Yu nodded: "These two small villages, since the war, have been very closed to the outside world, it seems that outsiders are not welcome to enter, after we go, maybe it will only make them more vigilant." ”

"At that time, it will not be us to find out their intelligence and win them over, but it will become them to probe our intelligence, and they may be betrayed to the Luchuan army."

"Then let's give up these two cottages for the time being." Ah Tian stretched out a slender finger and pointed to Nansang Village and Baihe Village on the map: "Let's enter these two cottages first, strive to make some progress, and then rely on the extra useful results as a foreshadowing for exploring other cottages." ”

Jiang Yufu shook his head: "Baihe Village will also give up first, we will focus on Nansang Village - I decided to start with Nansang Village first and cultivate experience." The matter of reconnaissance should be slow and not urgent, and we should think about it slowly. ”

He has observed these soldiers under him in the past few days, and he only feels a great headache when he sees them immature, reckless, or slow reactions.

Although the few people selected to the Ministry of Intelligence are already the smartest and most clever people, and they are the most elite defenders of the Manggu Mountain Plains, they are also rare talents in the Ming army, but they are still more than a little bit short of modern spies, special forces or scouts.

After all, in the past time of their lives, in addition to sending troops to fight with the army, these people are cultivating fields in the guards, and when it comes to the sophistication of people, their behavior and behavior may not be as good as some small officials in some county towns, not to mention the confusion of thinking caused by lack of education.

Analysis and analysis, these people can do some simple things, but it is still an impossible task for them to sneak into the cottage alone and face all kinds of complex situations alone.

In fact, this is also the reason why it is difficult to carry out intelligence work in ancient times, the military literacy of low-level soldiers is too poor, and it is impossible for senior officers to undertake dangerous reconnaissance tasks extensively, at most they rely on the suppression of military science and technology such as cavalry to achieve tactical reconnaissance.

When it comes to things such as espionage and infiltration reconnaissance, they often rely on some civilian officials to do it, and civilian officials have no military literacy at all, and the stories that often succeed in making a difference are bizarre and bizarre, bordering on legends—which also reflects the difficulty of infiltrating reconnaissance.

But if Jiang Yugang had led the way, things would have been different. Before he crossed over, he was a guy who relied on antique collecting to make a living, and it was his instinct to travel north and south, and to inquire about news in various complex and unfamiliar environments.

His highly educated training, extensive knowledge of various miscellaneous disciplines, and long-term combat training also support his reconnaissance abilities.

In the end, after thinking about it, Jiang Yugang decided to lead the team by himself, with An Bai, who had already entered Nansangzhai, as the guide, and others accompanying him, on the one hand, to do some assistance work, and on the other hand, to cultivate learning experience from this reconnaissance.

"I will definitely be a good guide and not let down hundreds of households." Hearing Jiang Yugang's plan, An Bai felt quite proud, he was originally just a soldier at the bottom of the guard, but he didn't expect to be reused now.

Jiang Yu glanced at his smug face, and his face became cold: "You don't have to do a good job, just don't make mistakes, if something happens, I will not spare you, and as long as you don't make mistakes, I will definitely reward you." ”

Jiang Yugang still has the capital to reward An Bai - the scattered silver money on the Luchuan soldiers who cleaned the war site before was received by Jiang Yugang in his own hands in the name of handing it in, but what was really handed over was only the hunting knives and spears used by some Luchuan soldiers.

Between coming and going, Jiang Yu's gains are not small. He is not a miser, he has no intention of hiding his secrets, but he is determined to use it well to manipulate people's hearts.
