This kind of skill is really amazing. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Just as Lao Huang was secretly sighing, Captain Zhang of the patrol team waved his hand again. All the team members who took a step immediately stopped their steps and fixed on the spot. Suddenly, a villager hit the back of the predecessor.
Lao Bai hit Lao Huang's back, and in pain, he shouted without controlling his voice: "Hey! Lao Huang, why did you stop again? My head hurts! ”。 His temperament is more active, and he usually behaves and doesn't pay attention to any subtleties.
Therefore, they have forgotten their current situation.
It's also that he is too short, with a net height of only one meter and five. So walking behind, it's easy to be blocked by others.
When he joined the arrest operation before, some patrol members saw that he was short and advised him not to make a fuss. caused him to turn his face on the spot, point at the patrolman's nostrils, and curse non-stop. Of course, it wasn't that he wanted to point at the team's nostrils, but because of his height, his finger was pointing at the man's nostrils.
You must know that the patrol members are also temperamental. What's more, the one who scolded him was still a little man who was not good-looking. So on the face, I couldn't hang it immediately.
So it was as if he had lit a powder keg, and without saying a word, he rolled up his sleeves and fought with Lao Bai.
There was a scuffle for a while, and the dust was everywhere, so it was not lively. The villagers who attracted onlookers also applauded one after another.
But what is surprising is that Lao Bai actually made a monkey steal peach and killed the patrolman and took him down. Although some of them are victorious, they only care about the result and don't care about the process. made the arrogant patrol member really make a big mistake.
At the same time, it also reveals Lao Bai's wit and slipperyness. Therefore, Captain Zhang stepped forward and included Lao Bai in the team of the arrest operation.
At the moment, he was about to fight with the bandits, but Lao Bai couldn't see the situation in front of him clearly. The feeling in my heart is like being tickled, and I am really panicking. After crying out in pain, he asked Lao Huang about the situation.
Just listen: "Is there something wrong?" Or did the bandits find out about us? This time, he knew that it was bad, and deliberately lowered his voice. But at this time, the cave was quiet. His voice was particularly loud. Even if the sound is suppressed, it spreads everywhere like a sound.
In addition, the cave is airtight, so it will produce a lot of echoes. As a result, after he finished speaking, the cave was still like an aftersound, and it was repeated two or three times. His voice also sounded in the passage when he came.
All the people who looked at the exit immediately looked at him in unison.
This made Lao Bai so embarrassed that he didn't know how to deal with himself for a while.
Captain Zhang glanced at him reproachfully, and ordered everyone to hide quickly. After waiting for about a minute or two, there was no movement outside. Captain Zhang's heart was relieved and he secretly sighed.
Lao Bai, the culprit, also knew that he was reckless. So he bent his neck and lowered his head. It's like an ostrich that is terrified.
Captain Zhang ignored him, turned his face away, and asked Wang Mazi to carry the cloth bag and go out to see the situation first. After all, if there is any problem, Wang Mazi can use his own identity to deal with the past. Although Wang Mazi was also more afraid, Captain Zhang's face was as black as that of King Yama. So that although he had a little Jiujiu in his heart, he still didn't dare to resist on his face.
Seeing him disappear at the exit, Captain Zhang beckoned to the two nimble patrolmen. When they came to them, they pointed in the direction of the mouth. Thanks to the usual training, the members of the patrol team have developed a certain tacit understanding.
So the two patrol members received the order, and immediately bowed their waists, like cats, and approached the exit lightly. Then with another swish, he jumped out of the exit.
Captain Zhang then turned around and asked the other team members and villagers to continue to ambush near the exit. So that when the situation changes, you can take action in time.
Fortunately, there are a lot of stalactites here, and it is easy to hide hundreds of people. Therefore, in the eyes of others, everything in the cave is as usual.
In this way, the crowd fell into a silent wait.
Tick-tock・・Because the cave is relatively wet, the clear water oozing from the cracks in the mountain falls on the smooth stones one by one. The ethereal sound of dripping water also followed in the cave. The exhalation of the crowd was muffled.
And the light at the exit slowly dimmed with the passage of time. The cave was already dark, and it was even more indistinct.
Captain Zhang estimated the time, and he couldn't help but get irritable in his heart. Because the patrol members have been out for nearly an hour. According to Wang Mazi's information, this bandit village is only a small valley in the middle of the mountain, and the area is not large.
So even if you crawl at the speed of a turtle, the two patrolmen should also finish walking around the bandit village. But for so long, neither of them replied, and it is difficult to say whether there was an accident.
Some of the villagers hiding behind stalactites are also worried. Although they knew the danger involved, when they really faced it, they still couldn't help but be afraid like ordinary people. Especially when you don't know anything, you can't help but think crankily in your heart.
In this way, the courage of the villagers passed quickly in silence.
Captain Zhang also knew that the longer the time dragged on, the more unfavorable it would be for them. So he took out the pocket watch that hung around his neck, and counted five minutes by the light coming in from the exit, and then sent someone out to check it.
And this pocket watch was specially allocated by the Logistics Department of the Ministry of Government Affairs of the Ming Dynasty to the troops subordinate to the People's Army. Although the patrols are not even second-class troops, their role in the frontier is not to be underestimated.
So the Logistics Division also issued pocket watches to each patrol. It's just that the number is limited! Except for the captain, everyone else has no chance to wear it.
As for why the Logistics Department is subordinate to the Ministry of Administration, it is based on the security of the army. After all, the army has always been a double-edged sword! When encountering foreign enemies, it can play the role of a mainstay. But if the military is controlled by ambitious people, it can easily become a tool for private power struggle.
This can be summed up from the military coups and d'état in China over the past thousands of years. Even in later generations, there are many du'cai governments to learn from.
Although Yang Chong and even the ministers of the cabinet believed in Liu Weiguo's loyalty. But it is difficult to guarantee that his successor will not have two hearts. And according to the research of human nature in later generations, when the harvest is greater than the risk taken, it is difficult for 90% of people to maintain their original intention.
Therefore, instead of believing in the goodness and changeability of human nature, it is better to believe in strict systems.
This made the Ming Dynasty separate the Logistics Department from the Ministry of National Defense, and let the Ministry of Government form a certain check on the army.
It is also to prevent problems before they happen.
