When Master Gu finally figured out the content of the official document, he couldn't help but feel numb. Although he is plain, he is very clear about the meaning behind this mode of official writing—the more vague the words, the more room for hints, the more important the matter, the more negligent it is.

Who knows which big guy up there is staring at you coldly?

Fortunately, Master Ma is more powerful here, knowing that his proprietor has a few catties and taels, he quickly responded - urging the master to write a letter quickly, along with the letter he wrote to his colleagues in the master's world, Zengcheng County Ya hurriedly sent three or four messengers on the same day, respectively, to different yamen and private people in Guangzhou City to inquire about the news.

The Zengcheng County Ya, which is closed to news and has a slow pace of life, has received a lot of news in the next few days. Although the messages are rather messy, and there are contradictory and useless in them, they are enough to outline the background of that official document.

Then Zengcheng County was dumbfounded. No matter how you look at it, things are wrong: the official document asks this side to go to Huangpu to invite troops to suppress the bandits, which looks like a thankless errand no matter how you look at it. For no reason, those battalion soldiers will listen to you as a county official? Who pays for the bandits? By extension, it is likely that the new officer of the Xiong Army will wear small shoes for that Cao Zongbing?

It's no wonder that Zengcheng County misjudged it like this: the information in this era is extremely slow, a yamen in a remote county can't figure out the relationship between the bigwigs in the provincial city at all, and Master Gu doesn't know that Lao Xiong and Lao Cao were actually close comrades-in-arms when they were in Fujian.

In fact, even in the later generations of the popularization of informatization, unless there is an extremely reliable first-hand channel, it is unlikely that the county magistrate below will find out the relationship between the provincial bosses. The levels are too far apart, and there is naturally an information ceiling there.

On the one hand, there is the new civilian commander-in-chief, and on the other hand, there is a general who holds military power, and Master Gu, who thought that he was caught between the bigwigs, was completely panicked...... It seems that this time if you don't die, you will have to chrysanthemum more.

But Master Gu couldn't help but do it. In the current situation, knowing that there is someone behind him waiting for him to launch, then he must launch. This is the sadness of the little people, when they encounter something, they don't even have the option to pretend to be dead.

Two days later, Gu Xian Ling wore a full set of official robes, got off the sedan chair nervously, and stood in front of the Huangpu Military Port in his heart.

Seeing the sentries on the opposite side wearing olive green cardigans, wearing strange warped hats, loaded guns and ammunition, Ying Ting stood in front of the door, Master Gu shivered for no reason, and then glanced at Master Gu.

At this time, the chief attendant on the side stepped forward automatically and handed over the post of the Gu County Order. The next moment, Master Gu saw that the junior colonel on duty in front of him reached out and took the post, and actually lowered his head to look at it carefully.

"Can this person understand?" Master Gu couldn't help but be startled by the little snack.

The little colonel quickly broke the question in the master's heart: "Go, ride a horse to inform the adults, there is Zengcheng County Linggu Tai to see." ”

"Yes!"

After saying this, the platoon commander on duty skillfully pushed off the door bag silver handed over by the chief: "Let's wait here first, see if the adults see you." ”

There was no difficulty in receiving gifts, there was no domineering, and the school on duty was still literate, which made Master Gu and his party very uncomfortable.

It didn't take long for the sentry who had gone to report before to come back on a sturdy horse: "My lord, please ask Master Gu of Zengcheng County." ”

So, Master Gu met the commander of the Pioneer Army, Wang Bowang, the director of the Huangpu Military Port who was a guerrilla in the Ming military system.

Everything is not quite the same as it was in the same place.

After meeting with Master Gu, after hearing clearly the other party's intention to borrow troops to suppress the bandits, Wang Counselor did not show a series of common actions such as angry sneers or scolding.

Not only did he not get angry, but General Wang even smiled and nodded again and again to comply with Master Gu's request.

After carefully observing General Wang's face and finding that the other party did not seem to be a fake, Master Gu and Master Ma glanced at each other again, and they both saw a relieved look in each other's eyes: That's good, as long as this pass is passed today, and if there is any mess afterwards, Zengcheng County will have a lot more room for prevarication.

The relaxed Gu Daxian Ling was in a much better mood, so he was ready to talk to the general Wang about the details.

I didn't want him to open his mouth just now, but he was interrupted by General Wang Shen raising his hand: "The general has promised, the beginning and the end are here, no need to worry about it." There are many people in Zengcheng County, and Gu's parents are asked not to make a noise about this matter, just report the official document. ”

After saying this, Wang Shen ordered soup and sent it away.

"Alas, after all, they can't escape this catastrophe, and these two fighting methods are about to take the word 'drag'."

After coming out of the barracks, Master Gu's mood changed again. This general seems to be easy to speak, but he didn't mention the most important thing about the soldiers' grain at all, which was obviously perfunctory, with the calculation of procrastination - Master Gu once again guessed the other party's thoughts.

Master Gu and his entourage, who had no initiative in this matter, could only go home in a huff. Fortunately, General Wang has promised Zengcheng County that he can send a reply to his boss, so even if Master Gu removed a large part of his family in this matter, he can now sit on the Diaoyutai.

However, Master Gu finally miscalculated again...... A week later, several city gate guards rushed in from outside the county yamen, shouting all the way: "County lord, someone has sent the head of the ghost head Wa Laoqi!" ”

..........................

There are two reasons why the traversal people want to take Zengcheng County.

First, Zengcheng is just east of the Huangpu Military Port, the distance is close, "the side of the couch can not allow others to sleep soundly", first clean up the bandits near Zengcheng, whether from the logistics or from the troop travel considerations, is the most convenient.

Second, Zengcheng has resources.

Even in later generations when transportation was developed, bulk materials such as building materials and cement were not profitable beyond a certain transportation distance.

Now that Guangzhou has started a vigorous infrastructure construction, it is completely impossible to keep up with the rhythm just by transporting cement from Taiwan to this side. Therefore, at the beginning of the journey, a cement plant was demarcated in Zengcheng County - there are a large number of limestone resources in the Zengcheng area.

In addition to limestone, Zengcheng also has some small copper and iron mines, potash mines and kaolin mines, which are all needed for infrastructure construction at present.

Therefore, it became a matter of taking advantage of the situation to open the knife in the Zengcheng area, which was also the preset location for the first operation since the founding of the Pioneer Army.

The target is the ghost head of the Seven Bandits who ran away from He Bian at the beginning.

In fact, what Gu County Commander didn't know was that he went out from Huangpu on the front foot that day, and on the back foot, General Wang, who seemed to be calm and light-hearted, had already ordered the whole army to mobilize, began to arrange combat missions, and sent scouts.
