The so-called difference between the three people obviously means that there is a difference between him and the two foreigners of the ATF -- and their treatment and development will be different according to this difference in the future. As for whether it is good or bad, it is difficult to say.

From the perspective of Haode, he is Chinese, and the other two are Americans, and from the consideration that non-ethnic groups must have different hearts, he obviously belongs to "objects that can be united." However, judging from the thinking that some Chinese people have always liked to treat foreign adults preferentially, it is possible that these two rootless foreign friends are more valued by this group of leaders, and they themselves have become an abominable person who tries to destroy them.

This caused him a great deal of distress, because he knew that leaders often think differently, and this strange way of thinking is with the position rather than the individual - when a person becomes a leader, the way and logic of thinking things will be different, and it will be difficult for others to figure out his true intentions. In his opinion, the leader of this space-time adventure group will not be an exception.

Ever since he was assigned to the Essential Labor Group, he has been working in obscurity. He naturally understands the principle of "holding his tail and being a man" that ordinary Chinese people deeply understand, but he is also waiting for an opportunity all the time, waiting for an executive committee to recognize him as a revolutionary comrade.

He didn't expect this opportunity to come soon.

While the travelers were so enthusiastic about the construction of the new city, no one realized that the huge construction site was not fully fortified. The locals fled after the landing and won several skirmishes to the triumphants, and the shipwrecks of the North American rudder swelled their sense of security to the extreme, believing that trenches, deer wood, barbed wire, SKS, and searchlights would form the strongest fortresses.

The spies in the county town snooped from a distance every day, and they were careful not to get close. The companions who were captured by the pirates riding the roaring monsters had taught them enough lessons. The bravest people take advantage of the trees and grass during the day, slowly approaching, and can see what the pirates are busy doing. The city basically learned about the pirates' every move, but they couldn't do anything about it. There are not many people who can negotiate, but when it comes to it, it is all something on paper, and the gentry are not active, so what to fight? He knows the thoughts of this group of old rich people: it is a big deal to hide in the villages outside the city at a critical moment: avoid the city in small chaos, and avoid the countryside in chaos, which is an old saying that has been tried and tested for thousands of years. As a county magistrate, he had no reason to flee for his life when the city was broken, and he would inevitably have to die in the city - which he was unwilling to do - if it weren't for his strong heart, he would not have gone to great lengths to pick such a poor country to be the county commander.

The city was not very peaceful, there were more than 2,000 villagers who had taken refuge in the county seat, and there were not so many houses to live in in the city, and the peasants of the four townships either hid in the city, and those who did not enter the city did not dare to transport grain, rice and vegetables into the city, for fear that they would be robbed by pirates on the road. All kinds of food are scarce, the evacuees live on the alms of the porridge shack, malnutrition and sleeping in the open, the elderly and children have died because of their infirmity, and every day there are people crying on the street, which makes the Wu County Order uneasy, and he is deeply afraid that once the wind blows, the people will change. For this reason, he personally led people to patrol the streets every day to appease the people.

Just in case, he has sent his cronies to take Ding Zhuang with him, secretly sent his family and valuable savings to Fucheng, and took care of them if something went wrong, and immediately sent them across the sea to return to their hometown. In this way, he became a complete "naked official".

The city was terrified for more than ten days, and the pirates still did not come to attack, and the spies came back to report that the thieves stopped after repairing the road to Bairentou Beach, and are now building a lot there. It doesn't seem to mean to siege the city. Wu Mingjin couldn't figure out what was so special about the place in Bairentoutan that they were digging up and digging up - they hadn't heard of any ancient tombs or legends of buried treasures here.

"It's nerve-wracking." Wu Mingjin patted his head, and in the past ten days, it seems that his hair has turned a lot grayer.

"Master, Fu Patrol asks to see you." The chief came in to report.

"Ask him to come in." Wu Mingjin didn't say angrily, although he knew that Fu Baiwen's twelve people would not be able to resist the landing of the thieves, but he still had a grudge against this person and fled without strength. At present, he can only be perfunctory, after all, he is the only military attache in the county, and he still has something to rely on. Fu Baiwen probably also knew that the responsibility was heavy, and he worked very hard to prepare for war in the city or to go out of the city to investigate.

"Don't, the thieves have built a city on the beach of 100 people!"

Wu Mingjin's hand shook, the tea spilled out, and he hurriedly asked, "How do you know?" ”

"Yesterday, I went to investigate in person, and the thieves have already built many houses on Bairen Beach!"

Wu Mingjin's teacup almost fell to the ground - this is what he was most worried about, if the pirates couldn't get entrenched, how could he be good? In the past, he always had hope, and the pirates would naturally leave after a few days, but now they are not only leaving, but they are still building roads, and now they are building a stockade less than ten miles away from the county seat.

Once the village is completed, the pirates will be entrenched for a long time, don't say it, now it has been handed over in September, and it will be the day of the autumn grain collection soon, and the two banks of the Wenlan River are the grain and rice producing areas of this county, the pirates are in front of them, how dare the people go to the field to collect grain!

Can't collect autumn food...... Wu Daling knew that this was much more serious than the nature of pirates in the territory, so he had to say that this black yarn would definitely be out of action.

"Please, Mr. Liu." Wu Mingjin turned around and ordered, "Invite all the gentry in the city!" There is also Master Huang of Huangjiazhai. ”

The gentry of the city heard the news of the spies at the meeting, and some of them had read the book of soldiers, and when they saw the group of thieves lined up along the main road, they thought that the pirates did not know the soldiers, and put on this long snake formation that could not be taken care of. did not build a stockade along the trench forest in Bopu. There were no more than two or three bandits carrying birds' guns everywhere. They were all short-clad and hair-haired labourers.

This time, the gentry were much more emboldened, Fu Baiwen lost his defensive ground because he was a Bopu patrol, and he was the most active in attacking the pirates in order to make the crime. Wu County's order specifically pointed out that the autumn is approaching, and the peasants in the villages along the river dare not go to the fields, and if they delay it, this year's harvest will be gone...... The gentry's minds gradually came alive, and when it came to their own vital interests, they had to take the initiative. Some people immediately expressed their willingness to pay for the war and drive out the pirates.

On the 11th day of the first month of September, all the village regiments with Xiangyong were ordered to enter the city to discuss, Wu Daling's wording this time was extremely harsh, and several wealthy gentry in the county made it clear that they were willing to fight to the death, and the small village also had to agree to participate, or three people and five people, or knives and guns, to the thirteenth day, the county town had arrived in the township of nearly 300 people, Wu County Ling still felt that it was not enough, sent people to Xinhua Township in the south of the county, Li Pandu, to Li Tong to levy 30 Li people. These soldiers were crossbowmen, armed with poisoned arrows made with poison.

Liu Jinshi suggested a night attack, and Wu County Ling also agreed very much. However, both Fu Xunjian and Huang Shoutong were opposed, they had some actual combat experience, and they knew that it was difficult for the most trained officers and soldiers to control the advance and retreat of the troops, let alone a rabble like them. Since it is a rabble, the only way is to rely on the strength of the crowd, attack the pirates a little, bully the widows with the crowd, eat a group of people, and destroy some of the bandits' vehicles and equipment.

Fu Baiwen ordered everyone to prepare more fires, and used them to set fire when preparing for war, and originally planned to bring the Franc machine gun of the guard, but Sun Baihu insisted on refusing, claiming that the artillery and soldiers were here to defend the city, and it was a matter of the county to go out of the city to fight, and he couldn't control it. Wu County Ling went to say in person, and also ate the ticket. He was very disappointed, and the messenger who went to Tang Yunwen's office in Baisha also returned, Tang Yunwen said that he had to participate in the battle to encircle and suppress Liu Laoxiang recently, and he did not have time to expel this "small group of pirates".

However, Tang Yunwen's answer was also expected by him, if the thieves did not break through the high city, the officials and soldiers would not come to suppress the bandits. At the moment, I can only cheer up and fight hard.

On the one hand, the county collected all the things in the arsenal and equipped them for these unclothed villagers, and asked the blacksmiths in the city to build many new iron spear heads, collected all kinds of scrap copper and rotten iron for cannons, and recruited people to build chariots...... For a while, the city was noisy.

All of these movements in the city were reported to the Executive Committee by the observation posts under the city. Whether Lingao County is further strengthening its defenses or preparing for a counteroffensive is anyone's guess. Zuihou's order to increase vigilance went down, but the military group actually had no more Liliang.

Including the armed militia mobilized after the landing, the military group had only more than 70 people in total, including the three people who were sent to the monitoring points outside the county town and the two people who escorted the long-range reconnaissance and exploration team, and the remaining people had to be responsible for guarding the Bopu camp and the guard posts along the highway to the Bairentan construction site itself.

Whether such a line of defense, full of loopholes, is effective in the face of Daming's Xiangyong regimental training, only actual combat can answer this question. It's not a game, it doesn't have a LOAD available, and every person who dies, every piece of equipment that is lost, means irreparable loss.

All kinds of news from the observation post indicate that Daming Lingao County is about to launch a full-scale attack on them. This was beyond the expectations of the Executive Committee, which originally thought that the county would not attack until it received reinforcements from the Ming army, but on the 13th day of the ninth lunar month, the observation post found that someone was dismantling the Huzun cannon on the city tower, which further proved the military team's speculation. He Ming warned the Executive Committee that the current security situation was not optimistic, and the Executive Committee decided at an emergency meeting to fully mobilize, suspend all except for a few projects, distribute SKS rifles to all men, distribute revolvers to all women, and conduct several live-fire training sessions as soon as possible by the military team.

He Ming knew that most people had limited training, and because of the restrictions of conditions in the stage of preparation for crossing, the so-called military training was mainly to walk in queues and practice physical fitness, and he had not done live ammunition shooting a few times, and there was no difference between a rookie who was not familiar with shooting and holding an SKS and a burning stick. Not to mention that they can fight actively and effectively.

After discussion at the meeting, the military group decided to continue to use the mobile defense of Jihua, once encountered, the mobilized troops retreated to the important strongholds, and the fighters of the military group used agricultural vehicles and jeeps to maneuver, where the enemy gathered the largest attack Liliang, the mobile units of agricultural vehicles attacked it from the flank and rear. He Ming believed that his strong communication and mobility capabilities would effectively make up for the lack of troops.
