"Uncle, the situation is irreparable, and the Tartar soldiers are about to be killed in the blink of an eye, how can this be good? I also hope that my uncle will give my nephew an idea. ”

"Don't panic with the virtuous nephew, and look at the movements after the Tartars capture Wuzhou, if the North Road Tartars capture Liuzhou, then Nanning will be difficult to support alone, and it will not be too late for the virtuous nephew to make plans at that time. If the defending side flees without a fight, I am afraid that I will be ashamed of my ancestors and lose the people. ”

"Yes, my nephew wrote it down." Mo Yuanwei replied with a sad face, "My lord, I don't know if there is any news about Brother Hongyi, is it convenient to settle in that place in Annan?" ”

"It's very strange, my son has not heard from me for three months, and I don't know if Annan is too peaceful?" When it came to his son's trustworthiness, He Yi was also very puzzled.

"Sir, sir." Before the words fell, the housekeeper He Laoqi stumbled into the door.

"Old Seven, what's the alarm?"

"Master, it's a happy event, the eldest young master is back." He Laoqi replied breathlessly.

"You mean, Faithfulness is back?"

"Father, it's me, I'm back, my son." I saw He Shouxin rushing in in a hurry, bowing his head.

"It's good to come back, it's good to come back." He Yi was quite happy when he saw his son who had been out for more than three months, and said with a smile, "It's been three months, and the journey has been peaceful?" ”

"Brother Hongyi, it's not my brother who said you, you said that you are not too young, and you don't have a lot of importance in doing things, so why don't you send a letter to report safety, you can make your brother-in-law anxious." Without waiting for He Shouxin to answer, Mo Yuanwei interjected with a complaint, but his face was also full of smiles.

When He Shouxin heard this, he hurriedly stepped forward to apologize, and then said to his father: "Father, Annan's trip, let the son report slowly, and the son brought back a distinguished guest to his father, you still saw the distinguished guest first, right?" ”

After saying that, He Shouxin turned around and went out and led Lin Xiao into the inner hall.

"Father, this is the commander of the Ming Anti-Qing Righteous Army, Lord Lin, is his son's boss."

Lin Xiao stepped forward and saw He Yi and Mo Yuanwei, and He Yi hurriedly let the seat for tea.

After the two sides finished saluting, He Shouxin went to Annam to explore the way, met the old Hong Kong camp rebels in Haiphong, and then enlisted in the army, and returned to China to resist the Qing Dynasty.

"So, Lord Lin is really the overseas rebel army who led his troops back to China to resist the Qing Dynasty? That really saved thousands of people from fire and water. ”

After listening to He Shouxin's introduction of 1510, especially after hearing that the righteous army's heart was towards Li Min, not only did not commit any crimes in the autumn, but also saved more than 100,000 people who had gone to sea to take refuge, He Yi was also quite excited, and immediately admired the gentle young leader in front of him.

Mo Yuanwei next to him was excited because He Shouxin mentioned that the firearms possessed by the righteous army were invincible, and their combat effectiveness was amazing, and hundreds of people actually killed tens of thousands of Annan officers and soldiers, and even the main general was captured alive. Hurriedly saw the stitches and said, "Lord Lin, is your rebel army really so powerful?" ”

"Of course, doesn't the elder believe what the younger brother says?" Without waiting for Lin Xiao to answer, He Shouxin immediately choked out unhappily.

"Brother Xian misunderstood, Brother Fool is surprised and happy," Mo Yuanwei clarified again and again, "Brother Fool means, if this is the case, then I have really met a savior now." ”

After speaking, he immediately turned to Lin Xiao: "Lord Lin, to be honest, Xiaguan is worried about the garrison of Qinzhou, even so, without further ado, Xiaguan will let people pack up the barracks tomorrow, and the army can be stationed in Qinzhou and coastal defense at any time, what does Lord Lin think?" ”

This is a lifesaver, otherwise his thousand men may be able to escape in a few days.

"That's great." Lin Xiao immediately agreed, and ordered He Shouxin to accompany Mo Yuanwei to the camp early tomorrow morning to discuss the transfer of troops, and then turned the topic to the construction of the Baisha base.

"Master Mo, Senior He, I visited in the next night, I am really a newcomer, and I have something urgent." Immediately explain the intention.

Although the purchase of materials such as bricks, stones, wood and other materials is a matter under the jurisdiction of the local prefect, at this critical juncture, the government at all levels has long been out of trouble. Even He Yi said that he could use his connections to send people around to buy it.

As for the issue of craftsmen, Lin Xiao, based on his experience in cash-for-work in Annam, entrusted He Yi to recruit from among the refugees, with preferential salaries, and if possible, some from the local residents.

Lin Xiao saw that things were going so smoothly, he was overjoyed, and he didn't delay, and immediately thanked him and said goodbye.

Lin Xiao asked He Shouxin and several other guards and platoon soldiers from the dart division to stay and catch up with their families, and he rushed back to the camp on Baisha Island overnight with the rest of his entourage.

……

Early the next morning, the reconnaissance company and the companies of the first battalion had already been dispatched, and the remaining battalions and companies were returning to the barracks for dinner as a whole after their morning exercises.

Lin Xiao had just finished a military body punch, was wearing a green short-sleeved military T-shirt, sweating slightly back to the camp tent to prepare for breakfast, He Shouxin and they came with Mo Yuanwei and his party.

Mo Yuanwei also brought more than 100 soldiers stationed in 100 households in the defense town, and the dress of those soldiers was no better than that of the Annan official army.

Seeing the strange costumes of the righteous officers and soldiers in front of them, all of them walked with straight waists, their instruments were lofty, and their military appearances were neat, especially when they saw a few big ships on the coast in the distance, these soldiers were so frightened that their faces were as white as earth, their legs were sifting chaff, and they didn't dare to take a breath of the atmosphere, let alone look like a soldier.

Seeing the neatly stacked and towering containers on the "Longsheng", even Mo Yuanwei, who had seen the world, was frightened and looked panicked.

Lin Xiao smiled and invited Wen Yan, invited Mo Yuanwei into the camp, and after breakfast together, they discussed the matter of moving the defense after a few words of greeting.

The discussion stopped, Lin Xiao ordered people to invite the commanders of each battalion, ordered Xia Bomin to hand over the original task to the third battalion, led the fourth battalion to accompany Mo Yuanwei to Qinzhou to garrison, and ordered the regimental headquarters baggage battalion to follow, and each battalion baggage company was free Mo Yuanwei's hundred households under the general flag and other officers to lead the way to various places to buy building materials.

After the fourth battalion and the baggage battalion were completed, Lin Xiao gave an order, Mo Yuanwei led the way with a few personal soldiers, and more than 1,000 people went straight to Qinzhou.

He Shouxin handed over the guard platoon to Qin Shuya, the deputy platoon commander, and took Situ Zheng and the communication squad to follow behind Lin Xiao and accompany him all the way.

Passing through the northern suburbs of Fangcheng Town, Lin Xiao saw that the battalion headquarters and a company had already set up camp in an open field, but a large number of fleeing and hungry people had gathered not far away, so he recruited Ding Shuai and instructed him to build a soup kitchen shop by the camp, and asked him to send people back to the camp to find Chen Yiming to receive more military rations to help the people.
