Even if a person who has lived in society for decades often travels from south to north, there are many places where he can really understand twenty or thirty cities, and there will always be a lack of personal perspective of ordinary people to understand the real face of society from a macro perspective. Everyday feelings can also give themselves a lot of errors. This is just like the American society in the seventies and eighties of the twentieth century, which seemed to give ordinary people a sense of recession, rising unemployment, widening gap between the rich and poor, increasing crime, and so on. However, in the late Cold War, the United States was an era in which its national strength was increasingly consolidated with the progress of new technologies, and finally won the Cold War by overwhelming superiority.

Urban residents living in the first decades of the founding of the People's Republic of China will feel that wages have not moved for 20 years, food prices have risen, and housing has become more stressful as children become adults or teenagers. No one cares how much the size of the urban or industrial population has grown across the country.

Therefore, from the very beginning, Xiao Xuan understood that the "micro-service private interview" method in film and television is not only extremely risky, but also ultra-inefficient. If others are prepared, they can also have various ways to carry out "information blocking", so the best way is to conduct large-scale social surveys on the move, and sometimes show their own identity, but can "more efficiently" hear the truth.

A staff officer of the new guard battalion came to the iron box where Xiao Xuan was a little uneasy and asked: "We already know the situation here, there are a lot of problems, and many forces seem to be a little more accurate in advance. If we investigate here with great fanfare, will it be dangerous for you? ”

Xiao Xuan said solemnly: "Of course there will be danger, but I believe in you!" I believe that you will be able to repel the invading enemy with the weapons in your hands. This time, we are taking the initiative to find trouble and take the initiative to fight. If you kick someone, that's even better. that the whole world may know our power ... ”

Seeing Xiao Xuan's somewhat confident and resolute determination, most of the young officers and soldiers who had hammered out of the country became excited.

"Good! Let's start hiring people according to the scheduled plan! ”

In this way, in just two days and nights, Linzhao, Anding, and then to Longxi, and even Jinxian in the north; Soon, more than 200 large immigrants, merchants, and ordinary people were selected to begin careful questioning, and even special records and drawings were made.

"Rest assured, the Son of Heaven has arrived here with the elite pro-army. You shouldn't be gullible, but I can tell you a way to tell the real from the fake: see these unique guns and armor in our hands? It's not the person who came from Tianfu in person.,There will be a little bit of someone in the place who has such a configuration.。。。 ”

Although there are still many people who are very cautious and do not dare to tell the truth on some issues, there are hundreds of people in all shapes and sizes. Only about one-fifth of the merchants and people who spoke honestly had already said a lot of things here.

"Anyone who intends to emigrate outside the border will be found to have no background, and if they don't do what they say, they will lose their name because of camel water bladders or inexplicable horse bandits. In order to be able to pass the test, many people had to draw someone to sign the contract of sale... A civilian, who appeared to be a civilian, said.

"Those people are polite to people like us who have a little head and face and have connections in other places, but there are some things that people only need to tear down people to give some hints, and we don't dare to joke with our own lives...

"From Lanzhou Mansion to Jiayuguan, I heard that to Hezhong, almost all the guards in this area have become independent kingdoms of the Wang family, the Li family and others. . . ." Finally, a businessman who had some connections in Ying Tianfu could only say unabashedly at this time.

"Are you willing to be witnessed?" One of Xiao Xuan's stand-ins asked solemnly in front of these people.

"With the Holy God in charge of us, we are also open today...

There were also a few deserters among the people invited, which made Xiao Xuan also begin to understand the situation in many armies in the northwest area. I didn't think of some problems in the old Ming army before, but it seems that there are a lot of them at this time.

"The northwest is not better than the southeast, and the mountains are high and the emperor is farther. In the past, the interests of the garrison in the northwest were only so limited. But when the entire Northwest Corridor has become an important gateway to get out, the benefits here are far from what they used to be. The huge interests and the pattern of consciously breaking away from supervision and control also make this northwest region seem to be a new place outside the law... Of course, Xiao Xuan didn't get any rumors before this, in fact, it was precisely because he understood that the new northwest problem did not seem to be much lighter than in the past, so he decided to personally lead the new guard battalion to kick out the possible contradictions

In order to ensure that it must explode, rather than letting those people shrink back under deterrence, Xiao Xuan also provided a lot of half-truths and half-truths in advance, so that some forces in the northwest seemed to have been prepared very early.

"It seems that the well-informed people in Ying Tianfu said that it was really good, but I didn't expect that in just a month and a half, the one in the north of Ying Tiancheng would be able to run to the northwest...

"It's not going to be a trap, is it? Are you sure they didn't carry too many artillery pieces and gun carriages? And also not too much baggage? ”

"There should be more than a thousand people in the sky, and it would be good to be able to gather seven or eight hundred people in the event of a surprise attack. There weren't many baggage and artillery that followed, and we should be able to take them! ”

After the news spread, Wang Zhaolin, who seemed to have been prepared for a long time, finally made up his mind to reverse early in Lanzhou: "In fact, we don't want to take this step." Even if we destroy the one in Yingtiancheng, we will sometimes become the target of public criticism, but if we don't do this, then we will face the result of ruining our reputation and the destruction of our family... ”

"Actually, we are not alone, since the indiscriminate behavior in the Heavenly City, how many people in the world are cold, and now we are just preparing to do the Tao for the heavens. And today's event is not improvised. We still barely have Xiangyang's preparations... Compared with Wang Zhaolin, Chen Yong had already planned to do something big.

"We must not underestimate the enemy this time, the person brought out by Ying Tiancheng can never be an ordinary person, even if it is ten blows and one, he is not completely sure. Twenty times as many troops must be prepared, and the first wave of ambushes must be followed before the operation, and their location must be known, and only then can they succeed in one fell swoop... ”
