Since the Tongshan battalion was taken, the whole Fuding has become busy, the shouts of the instructors in the barracks resounded in the sky, the consumption of ammunition has skyrocketed, and batches of recruits have grown rapidly; The navy has already received second-hand goods purchased from the British Navy, although it is only a third-class battleship, but these two warships with a displacement of more than 1,500 tons and a number of guns as high as 80 can't find an opponent in the Taiwan Strait, the only problem is that at present, the Red Flower Society can only make up a ship of sailors, so Zhao Banshan has almost swept away the members of the Red Flower Society who have experience in sea navigation during this time, but it will take a long time for these people to form combat effectiveness, But fortunately, with such a huge ship, there is no longer need to be afraid of enemy attacks from the sea! Gao Zhisi and Yang Dewang's factories also worked overtime to produce muskets, cannons, and gunpowder, and as for food, the accumulation of nearly a year was enough to meet the needs of the Red Flower Society for three years; On the university side, Wu Sihua, in addition to compiling Neo-Confucianism according to Chen Jialuo's intentions, was to drag those overseas Ming people who returned from Japan to draft anti-Qing texts, as for Dai Zhen, he had to pretend not to see it, and devoted himself to studying calculus, but let him achieve a lot of success, Chen Jialuo was quite pleased with this.

"It's been a month since the Nalan prefect issued the task of collecting the salary, and according to the news I got the news, Xiapu and the other four counties have already handed over a lot, but we haven't moved yet! I heard that Lord Nalan is extremely dissatisfied, and is planning to send someone to collect it on my behalf! At the regular meeting, Xin Yan is making a work report!

"Can you delay for a moment? At the moment, Brother Qi has not come back, if the people sent by the Nalan prefect provoke a civil uprising, we will have to cause trouble even if we don't want to! Chen Jialuo asked, now Fujian's green camp has not been mobilized, and the time for an incident has not yet come.

Speak of the devil. As soon as Chen Jialuo's words fell, someone came to report that Xu Tianhong had returned and was waiting outside the door to be summoned; Chen Jialuo hurriedly took Xin Yan, Lu Feiqing, Shi Shuangying and others out. When he went out and saw Xu Tianhong covered with dust, he should have just arrived in Fuding to report. He hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Xu Tianhong's arm, "Seventh brother has worked hard all the way, come in and rest and rest; Xinyan, go and arrange the kitchen to make some small dishes and send them up, it seems that Brother Qi is afraid that he hasn't eaten yet! ”

"The chief helmsman is not busy, let's go in first!" , Xu Tianhong showed a slight smile in the corner of his eyes, and followed Chen Jialuo back to the conference room. Seeing that no outsiders spoke, he said, "Chief helmsman, my subordinates are fortunate not to disgrace the heroes of the Heaven and Earth Society!" At present, the Heaven and Earth Society has made a big fuss in Guangdong, and it is being transferred to the Huizhou area, where the Tartars' forces are weak, it is a place where great achievements can be made! Presumably, it won't take a few days for the news to reach Fujian! ”

"To the north of Huizhou Mansion is Chaozhou Mansion, and Chaozhou Mansion and Zhangzhou Mansion are next to each other!" Chen Jialuo stood up excitedly and pointed to the Huizhou Mansion on the map and said, "According to the temperament of the Qing officials who swept the snow in front of the door and took care of the frost on the tiles of others, Yang Tingzhang, the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, will definitely transfer Fujian's troops to the south after learning the news." That's when it's time for us to do it! ”

After another half a month, Sancheng of the entire Fujian army was transferred by Yang Tingzhang to Zhangzhou Mansion to guard against the Heaven and Earth Society, and at the same time, the manpower sent by Nalan Yuanshu to collect the salary also arrived in Fuding; Xin Yan took the officials of Fuding to wait ten miles outside the city early.

"The helmsman. The prefect sent his master Liu Huizu, as well as several clerks from the household, accompanied by a guerrilla from Funing Mansion, leading more than 200 soldiers! The person who went to inquire reported to Chen Jialuo.

Nodding to indicate that he knew, Chen Jialuo said to Xin Yan and Lu Feiqing after the person to be reported left, "It seems that this prefect is planning to give us a hard time!" ”

"I'm not afraid of him being hard, I'm afraid he's not hard enough!" , Lu Feiqing said with a smile. "In the past month or so, the people of the entire Fuding have known that the prefect has been carrying the prefect's orders to the death for them, and if they do something out of the ordinary. We are just taking advantage of the people's anger to rise up in the open! ”

"This Nalan prefect probably guessed our thoughts, and specially sent someone to send us the east wind!" Chen Jialuo also cooperated with Lu Feiqing and made a joke.

After another stick of incense, Master Liu came to them with the prefect's warrant, and saw that so many people couldn't even get off the sedan chair, so he directly asked Xinyan to take them to the county office. When they arrived at the county office, they once again refused Xinyan's invitation to pick up the wind and wash the dust for them, and let the soldiers brought by the guerrillas take over the defense of the county government, and copied the household registration book of Fuding County from the household of the Fuding County Ya, and actually planned to put aside the officials of Fuding to collect the salary in person!

The Red Flower Society had already anticipated their plans, and the forbidden things in the county government had already been cleaned up, and the officials and scribes pretended to be members of the Red Flower Society did not resist, allowing them to make a mess of the county office.

"When I was leaving, the prefect said that Yan Zhixian was still young, and I was afraid that he would be easily deceived by these Diao people, so he sent students to relieve Yan Zhixian's worries!" , Master Liu saved some face for Xinyan when he spoke, opened the household registration book and said slowly, "Let's put it away from the county seat today!" I'm tired that Yan Zhi County sent two officials who were familiar with the local area to come over, and we called people one by one according to the booklet to pay the money! ”

Xin Yan sat next to him silently, making a look of daring to be angry but not daring to speak; Chen Jialuo threw a look, and two roe head rat-eyed officials stood out in the hall, "My lord, the two of us are locals, and we are quite familiar with local affairs!" ”

"It's just the two of you!" , Master Liu's fingers moved slowly on the household registration book, and read out ten names in one breath, he had already inquired clearly before he came, and there was nothing to provoke in Fuding, so he didn't shy away from it at all, "Lu Guerrilla, you and these two servants go and bring the whole family of these ten families to the lobby!" ”

After a while, the ten families cried and were dragged to the lobby by the wolf-like soldiers, and Master Liu directly offered an exaggerated price of five taels of silver for a person, these people are all small households, where can they get so much silver, they can't only kowtow desperately and beg! Master Liu was unmoved, "It seems that these Diao people can't fight anymore, come on, let's go down and serve one person with twenty boards!" ”

The officials next to him showed unbearable expressions, and no one moved; Lu Guerrilla snorted coldly, and personally led people to pull these people down to play the board; Master Liu read out the names of ten more households, and in less than an hour, more than 100 families were detained in the county government after being boarded, and the outside of the county government was tightly blocked by the people who heard the news. The whole Fuding is like a powder keg, just one spark will explode! (To be continued)
