Song Qianzhi and Wu Yuan have been in the boy battalion these days, and they are already familiar with the names of the five leaders.

Among the five, Qu Commander, the scout captain, and the auxiliary captain have been out and have not returned.

Qu Changhou Xiaoming is Bao Ye's henchman, born in exile, has no foundation, and fought it out with one knife and one gun.

The captain of the auxiliary army is the brother of Zhu Gang, the captain of the sword soldiers, and Lao Tzu is the confidant of the owner of the horse village.

This black boy in front of him is the captain of the auxiliary forces?

Isn't it really a relational household?

At this age, this shriveled body, I really can't see my strengths?

The two were curious and went in response.

Huo Bao turned back and went to the state government with the convoy.

"Uncle Eight is not thin, how did you spoil yourself like this? Fortunately, your father and mother are in Binjiang, how distressing is this? ”

Huo Bao looked at Zhu Qiang and was very puzzled.

Zhu Qiang smiled, and said with a little emptiness: "Eighth Master, when we came back, we made a stop in Binjiang!" ”

Zhu Qiang's father, Zhu Qianhu, is now the lieutenant of Binjiang County, and Zhu's mother is also over there with her husband.

The two sons of the Zhu family are both in the Scouts, but fortunately, there is a young girl by their side, and the old couple is not too lonely.

Huo Bao raised his forehead and said, "Scared, right?" ”

Zhu Qiang said with a smile: "My father said that he was thin, and he also told me to practice knives and guns, so I am not allowed to be lazy anymore!" ”

As for what the mother said, there is no need to mention it.

cried a jar of tears, hugged himself and didn't let go, and he was not a little doll.

Huo Bao is colorful.

"Is this trip to Songjiang dangerous? It's wanted again, it's a folk bonus again, what's going on? ”

Before, Du Laoba sent someone to send a letter, saying that the revenge was revenge, the government issued a wanted warrant, and the people also had a bonus bounty, so avoid it first and then come back.

Calculating the time, their trip went to Songjiang in late May and arrived in early June.

Du Laoba's revenge for killing the official was at the end of June, and his letter arrived in Chuzhou at the beginning of July.

Today is the eighth day of the eighth month of August, and I have been hiding outside for a month.

Zhu Qiang grinned, revealing a mouthful of small white teeth: "There is the ninth master!" After avoiding it for two days, the wanted notice of the yamen and the bonus bounty under the head were withdrawn! I followed the eighth and ninth masters to Quanzhou and dried on the boat! ”

Huo Bao glanced at him.

The sun is strong on the beach, tanning Thaksin, but where is the little fat on this body?

Zhu Qiang smiled: "I didn't expect that I would be seasick, the more I stayed, the more dizzy I became, I couldn't eat anything, and I vomited to death." The Ninth Master drove me to the deck and gave someone a hand...... This busy, don't care about disgusting, and don't get seasick day by day! ”

"What's the matter with the removal of the wanted notice and the withdrawal of the bonus?"

Zhu Qiang paused and whispered: "The eighth master is soft-hearted, and when he was in Songjiang, he only killed the dog Zhixian and that brother-in-law...... The woman of the Zhixian county took the family's money and went to the Zhizhou Yamen to have a relationship, and she also wanted to report to the Criminal Department, and the eighth master was wanted in the whole country...... is in Songjiang, and the woman also posted a bonus to reward the head of the eighth master...... The movement was too loud, and the ninth master knew that the eighth master had gone back...... The Ninth Master found us and let everyone get on the boat, otherwise we wouldn't have been arrested......"

Although the murder case is big, if there is no bitter master, who will bite it without opening their eyes?

Even the higher-level government, in order not to be implicated, will also "close the case" as soon as possible.

"Did the Ninth Master help the Eighth Master finish it?"

"Well, the Zhizhou Yamen didn't want to drag it out, so they set a vendetta and found a death row prisoner to ......"

"What about the county magistrate's family?"

“……”

Huo Bao looked at Zhu Qiang.

Zhu Qiang shuddered and whispered, "The Ninth Master made a move, and it was gone...... A fire burned down the rear office of Songjiang County, and none of them escaped......"

Obviously, he doesn't agree with Du Laoba's soft-heartedness, and he is also afraid of the ruthlessness of the "Ninth Master" who will "leave the chicken and dog".

Huo Bao was silent.

It didn't seem like a surprise.

This ninth uncle has never seen it, but when Xue Biao and Du Laoba were silent when they mentioned this person, they knew that he was powerful.

Let them be brothers, and they are also afraid in their hearts.

……

State office, door.

"Haha! The eighth is back! Good! ”

The owner of the horse village and Master Lin got the news and came out.

Seeing that Du Laoba had gained weight several times, Master Lin's hand twisting his beard paused.

The owner of the horse village pulled Du Laoba's arm, looked up and down several times, and looked very satisfied: "I finally got back a little fat, and I didn't suffer hardship!" ”

Du Laoba grinned and said: "There is Xiao Jiu, I don't have any heart, I eat ...... all day long"

"It's a blessing to be able to eat well, to be able to eat!" The master of the horse village nodded.

Huo Bao followed, very powerless.

It's all fat like this, how can you lead the troops?

There are still 3,000 soldiers under Du Laoba's name!

After the carriage was unloaded, Huo Wu and Tang Guang also hurried back.

Huo Wu's reaction was the same as that of the owner of the horse village.

He was very relieved on his face, and patted Du Laoba's fat back: "I'm not thin, it's good, Lao Jiu takes good care of it!" Take care of it well, and don't lose weight in the future! ”

Huo Bao sighed in his heart and looked at Master Lin.

Master Lin really looked puzzled.

Even Tang Guang, looking at Du Laoba's trembling fat, was calm.

Dad, sixth uncle, your brother's reaction is very similar to "killing"!

Huo Bao didn't want people to misunderstand, so he said directly: "Eighth Uncle is not thin...... The book says that the flesh of too rich oppresses the internal organs and makes it easy to get sick......"

Everyone's eyes fell on Du Laoba's belly.

That's more fat than others, and this "oppression of the internal organs" seems to make sense.

Huo Wu frowned and said, "But your eighth uncle is fat when he is young, he is weak as soon as he loses weight, and he has no energy ......."

The owner of the horse village also said: "I am very thin, and I am easy to faint...... How many doctors have seen it and said not to let you go hungry......"

“……”

It's like low blood sugar!

Huo Bao was still not at ease, and said, "Go back and ask Doctor Bao to take a good look at Uncle Eight...... Let's see if there's another way......"

Du Lao Ba didn't care and said, "Xiaobao don't worry about me...... The eighth uncle has been carrying this body for decades, if it is really gone, it will be uncomfortable! ”

What else can Huo Bao say?

Just looking at Du Laoba's fat eyebrows and eyes are deformed, a thought came to me inexplicably.

Who fed Du Lao Batou like this?

Is it unintentional, or is it intentional?

Du Laoba's amount of food is not small, not as good as Deng Jian and Huo Bao, the two big-bellied men, but it can also top three or four young and strong people. And he has a heavy mouth, loves meat in his diet, and is a master who has no meat and no joy.

Du Laoba was born in a Songjiang farming family, his parents died, and he was brought up by his uncle and aunt, so he had no conditions to develop this eating habit.

This habit should have been developed after going to the island.

He was more than ten years younger than Huo Wu, Ma Zhai and others, and Huo and Ma were still teenagers at that time.

……

There are still a few days before the Mid-Autumn Festival, and Du Laoba's return is like an introduction.

The next day, Xue Biao returned from Quyang.

These days, he straightens out the churches in the three counties.

Here in Quyang, Master Du went to Jinling, and he would be the first to vacate.

Xue Biao went to select the new head of the club in the past.

Huo Wu didn't put people in Quyang, so Xue Biao was also obedient, and only selected from a few of Deng Jian's descendants of Zhang, Li, and Wang.

In the end, Wang Qianhu's brother-in-law was selected as the new head of the Quyang Church.

……

On August 11, Deng Jian, Ma Juzi, Huo Hu and others who went to Black Python Mountain to suppress bandits came back.

Not to mention the two stockades of Ren Tuzi and Black Old Jackal, other large and small villages in Black Python Mountain have not been left behind, killing 3,000 thieves and collecting 900 people.

Coming out of Black Python Mountain, they divided into several teams and began to level Chuzhou.

That's right, even Lingshui County.

All the mountain bandits and road tyrants were swept away.

The team went all the way to the outside of Lingshui County.

General Han, who had returned to Bozhou to attend the wedding banquet before, had already returned to Lingshui, and he had sent someone to the state capital for questioning because of this matter.

Huo Wu directly called Master Lin to reply to the letter.

Rectifying the local chaos and safeguarding the production and life of the people is a matter within the Chuzhou military.

Lingshui County is also in Chuzhou, where stability and security are maintained. If General Han feels embarrassed, he can pay the army with grain and grass.

General Han didn't have enough to hold on, of course, there was no "reward for the army", but he didn't squeak anymore.

It is estimated that he has no bottom in his heart, worried that it is the Chuzhou army that deliberately provokes to collect the Lingshui, and he can only wilt.

In the entire territory of Chuzhou, the rectification is too peaceful.

The people who fled the famine before also returned home one after another.

Chuzhou, which had passed the great drought, began to slowly regain its vitality.

……

On August 13, with 3,000 men and horses, he went north to Duliang Mountain to suppress the bandits.

The men and horses brought by Shui Jin this time are the previous state army, and there are many local children who have just joined the army.

Wu Mo, Bao Yuan, Bao Ya, Guo Sanye, Wu Yuan's brother Wu Da and others have all emerged one after another.

For this reason, the return of the Shuijin Department to the army this time was more sensational than when Deng Jianbu returned.

The people of the city welcomed the soldiers on the road, and it was as lively as the New Year.

3,000 men and horses entered the capital of Liangshan, all the way to the rescue, and when they came out of the mountain, the number doubled to more than 6,000.

Fighting in different places, logistics and supply were difficult, and a few black-hearted gentry's nests were copied in the middle.

The officials in Chuzhou were frightened, thinking that Chuzhou would also be like Bozhou and Chuzhou.

Chuzhou is in the northeast of Chuzhou, bordering Bozhou, Chuzhou, and Yangzhou.

Bozhou is occupied!

Chuzhou is occupied!

Chuzhou has not dared to live in peace this year.

The White Shirts killed the officers during the Bozhou uprising!

Kill the official when you occupy Chuzhou!

How can the officials of Chuzhou not be afraid?

A timid county official specially sent his henchmen to find the Shui Jin Department, wanting to inquire about the next move.

In those words, it was said that the white-shirted army was going to attack the county seat, and the county order was willing to respond internally, just ask not to kill people!

Shui Jin couldn't cry or laugh, but he also knew that now was not a good time to fight Chuzhou.

Chuzhou is close to Yangzhou, and many soldiers and horses are stationed in Yangzhou.

Above Chuzhou is Henan Province, where there are already many imperial army troops suppressing bandits.

It's just sent to the door, and if it's cheap, it's not a bastard, and Shui Jin scared the staff and took out the grain in the county warehouse.

When Shuijin returned with his troops, in addition to a dozen wagons and belongings, there were also hundreds of wheelbarrows, all of which were filled with grain.

Shui Jin grew a beard, like a knife out of the sheath, it was difficult to hide its sharpness.

Huo Wu, as in the previous example of Deng Jianbu, returned the grain to the warehouse, and the property was collected in 30%.

This is the distribution plan that Huo Wu and others discussed and determined before.

Ensure that the soldiers who participated in the battle can be divided into seventy percent of the capture.

Seventy out of seventy, two percent returned to the water into this general.

The small leaders at all levels under the command of Shui Jin can be divided into two.

The remaining thirty percent is distributed among the lowest soldiers.

As for the pension of the wounded and wounded, it is set aside before it is distributed, and the pension is unified according to the specified standard.

……

August 15, the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Hou Xiaoming, the head of the child soldier and the captain of the scout, and Li Yuan, the hundred households of the child scout, led the crowd to return to the team.

There was an accident in Changzhou, and the private iron mine that Xue Biao contacted before changed owners.

The iron ore stored in the iron ore in recent years has also been transported to Hangzhou.

Here in Changzhou, there is only some pig iron stored in the Xue family's courtyard.

Hou Xiaoming and Li Yuan were unwilling to run in vain, and the two of them took people to Hangzhou along the news.

There is a large government-run iron-smelting plant in Hangzhou, and those iron mines in Changzhou have entered the iron-smelting plant.

The two were bold and careful, inquired about the way to smuggle ordnance, and brought back twenty carts of ordnance.

"Use the three shops of the seventh master in Hangzhou as a guarantee, and the account is on credit...... This is the first batch, and there are still 80 cars to be delivered in batches......"

When Huo Bao heard this, he couldn't help it.

It seems that this seventh uncle is going to hurt again!

The big war is about to start, and the timely delivery of these two people's ordnance is really a great achievement!
