"How?" Shen Dagou came over with his musket and asked.

"Captain, you see." One of the team members said with a smile. Then he pulled over and pulled the arquebus. The militia's weapons are usually rudimentary, but here the situation is very different, because they are facing the Black Mountain bandits, although they are ostensibly under the banner of the rebels. They thought it was an unkind court. But in reality, they are bandits, robbers. and a whole bunch of illegal and criminal mixtures, in which many people fish in troubled waters.

Soon, they saw a group of more than a thousand people rushing towards them, like locusts. The surrounding villages, after the looting of belongings. They're going to take a lot of other steps to do something like them, and they've heard that there's someone in this area of the old pot, and they can't wait to kill them. They think as long as they rush over. These people will immediately surrender. Let them rob. Slaughter.

"Kill. Kill. "Those Black Mountain thieves and soldiers rushed to the front in a frenzy, usually they are the ones who committed the most crimes, and this kind of thing is familiar to them. They have done a lot of illegal and criminal things, and every time they do the most, they will solve some things in this way. In a word. They'll do a lot of this kind of thing.

"Boom. Rumble. The team members pulled the fire rope fiercely, and there was a huge explosion all of a sudden, and there were ** bags, gravel and iron nails buried around the explosion, which could increase the power of the explosion. Sure enough, after the explosion, a large area fell at once, and even the flag bearer who followed behind was blown away a lot. At this moment, the attack of the Black Mountain thieves suddenly became a lot more frustrated.

"Damn it. Or is it enough, look at how many people are killed at once? The big dog asked with a smile.

"Captain, I think, there are more than fifty of them." The team members said as they watched the aftermath of the explosion. And the Montenegrin thieves were bombed like this. The morale of the army suddenly dispersed, they did not expect to encounter such a situation at all, everyone was dizzy by the explosion, and everyone felt when they saw a large pile of corpses in front of them, and all the people in the passage full of flesh and blood. They're in the wrong place. Their legs kept shaking, and they turned around in fright and ran. One drives two, and two drives four. All of them ran away in a bang.

"Hey, I ran away. We haven't fought yet. A musketeer with a musket said as he looked at the fleeing man.

"Huh. This kind of thing, run and run. It's better never to come. The big dog said with a smile. Don't want to fight. They don't want to fight either. Being able to scare them away is also a tactic.

Lijiazhuang. Just when the north used **,** bag to scare away those Montenegrin thieves, in fact, I couldn't complain about them, most of the Montenegrin thieves were low-level people, and most of them didn't know that there was such a thing, they thought they were damned. So, they hurried out of here. For them. It's a huge punishment, and it's enough for them to do many, many things.

"I see you, you don't have to turn around. This telegram might be fine for itself. Jia Xu watched Shang Wu walk back and forth. He felt like his own head was too big.

"How are you? There is no such good thing. Shang Wu shook his head and said.

"Originally, our telegram would have been fine. How can it be that you can't stand it all of a sudden? Shang Wu said.

"So, there must be a reason for such a thing, and so is the telegraph. Sent out. There is simply no place for response. Shang Wu said. Because there were no headphones, Shangwu could only use a punch, that is, to send a telegram, and the long paper tape would also bring out a piece of paper tape and send it in this way. At the same time, check whether it is correct or not. There is no way, a lot of things are very primitive. And some materials are hard to find, such as rubber, plastic. There is no such thing at all. There is no way for Shang Wu. There aren't a lot of magnets either.

"Sir. Sir. "That's when it happened. A staff officer ran in quickly.

"How's it going?" Shangwu asked.

"Sir, the situation is clear. Our telegram is not broken. It's that a lot of places are broken. The staff officer said in embarrassment.

"What?" Shang Wu asked puzzled. He really couldn't figure out why it had broken so much at once.

"Speak slowly. Don't be in a hurry. Make it clear. Jia Xu walked over and said.

"That's right, sir, our cable is laid out underneath, and some shepherds of sheep, or some people walking by, were curious to see what it was, so they looked at it, and saw that there was grease paper on it, and they thought it was something that was good for ignition, and then they peeled it off. There is copper wire in it again. This copper wire can be sold for money. So they cut the cables and started collecting them. Not just one. It's a group of people, and there are many sections of the cables we have laid, which have been collected by them. The copper wires are cut into sections. Sir. The staff officer reluctantly told Shang Wu such a thing.

"Hey. It's infuriating. Shang Wu scolded angrily. This is a new thing that he finally came up with, this thing is more powerful than artillery, but what he didn't expect was that they were cut off by a large number of ignorant villagers before they were put into good use.

"Sir. People, people brought us. After the local militia heard about such an incident. Arrested all the people who collected the cables. Now, people are out there. The staff officer said helplessly.

"Huh." Shangwu heard this. Laughed helplessly.

"Sir." Seeing his commander like this, the staff officers were very worried, and they all knew it. This telegram is the ear of the wind. Something hundreds of miles away. They all know. But now it turned out to be such a result, and no one would accept such a result. The staff officers themselves felt that they were unlikely to accept such a situation.

"Alright. I'm fine. I just feel that the cable we finally got out was cut off by our own people. Looks like this thing is fragile. We also need protection. Shang Wu said.

"Hmm. I think this thing needs to be erected in the sky in the future. Out of reach of everyone. Jia Xu said.

"And buried underneath, so that people don't know, if the enemy knows that we have such a thing, they just have to destroy it gently. We're in a terrible situation. So, the best thing to do is to do both at the same time. Shang Wu said.

"I think we still need some people to protect and maintain these things, those people, they don't know such a thing, if we can make it clear to them and punish them for maintaining our cables, I think we will still be able to protect the cables well in the future." Jia Xu persuaded so. In fact, Jia Xu was unwilling to punish those people.

"Hmm. These people, can not be punished, after all, we did not make it clear at the beginning. Come on. Shangwu nodded. Jia Xu knew that Shangwu knew how to do it.

Outside the war department, there were many people gathered here, and the militia captains of the various villages personally arrested the people. There is a large amount of copper wire stacked at the doorway. It's all their work.

"The chief is out. The chief came out. A militiaman shouted. Everybody stands upright.

"Stand upright. Salute. "Militia is also soldiers, and they all treat themselves as strict soldiers.

Shang Wu returned the salute. Because Jia Xu is not a soldier in the real sense, he just needs to wave his hand. Because he is a man of letters.

"Take a break." Shang Wu said. Everyone is in one move.

"Sir, dispose of them. I know that our village is causing trouble for the chief. Broke the chief's downwind ear. If you want to beat or scold, we admit it. A militia captain said. Seeing this, others also stepped forward and said.

"Alright. All right. Let's let the people go first. Shang Wu said.

"This." Militia captain, you look at me, I look at you, those who were caught all bowed their heads, waiting for punishment.

"Let it go. Put. Shang Wu said as he stepped forward and untied a person's rope with his own hands.

"Quick, let's go." The militia captains did not know, but they still did it.

"This is indeed a tailwind, with this, we can contact people hundreds of miles away at the same time. And at the same time, that is, in the blink of an eye. You can get the message delivered. Shangwu began to explain.

The militia captain and the nearby soldiers were very surprised to hear this. They all knew that the governor of the base area was a man of God, but they didn't expect that this Shunfeng Ear was true.

"However, he is not called Shunfeng. It's called the telegraph. It depends on electricity. Deliver messages quickly and farther. And electricity, when they carry this news, they also have to go through some passages. This channel is the cable. In other words, if you cut the cable, the news will not be delivered. Shang Wu said.

"Ahh This. "A lot of people don't know what to say. They know. I did it wrong.

"Actually, it's not your fault, after all, you don't know anything like this. Punishment doesn't count. If you do the math, you can. You should pay attention in the future, don't destroy these cables, you can protect these cables, because in the future we will set up a telegraph office. With the telegraph. You can now communicate with your loved ones. Just send a telegram and you'll be fine. It will be delivered quickly. In this way, communication is also convenient. In short, everyone is responsible for protecting cables. Shang Wu said.

Important things, said with a smile. In this way, everyone can accept it.

"Yes. Protecting cables is everyone's responsibility, and the chief is right. One of the captains said.
