Over the past few days, the training of new recruits has been carried out in an orderly manner. www.biquge.info With the assessment of Shen Jia's construction, more than 30 people have been eliminated one after another. Shen Jia sent a company commander to send the eliminated recruits to the quarry, but they knelt outside the barracks and refused to leave.

Everyone knows what the quarry looks like, and although they don't die of hunger, they eat very ordinarily, and the level of fatigue is comparable to that of the barracks. Seeing that the eliminated recruits couldn't kneel, Shen Jia said angrily: "Stand up, look at your bear-like, thief spirit, don't train well, I'll see how you survive when you encounter a tartar in the future." ”

Shen Jia gave up the plan of sending them to the quarry, but organized them into another team, halved their salary, assessed them regularly, and still used the method of survival of the fittest to train with the recruit company.

Shen Jia understood that he had too few soldiers, and if he eliminated them like this, there would be only a few left. Therefore, he intends to use the eliminated people for the reserves, as well as for the maintenance of policing and internal reserve organizations. Even though the nature of the training of the eliminated has changed, Shen Jia still did not relax in the slightest, and the training task was very tight.

On 22 April, You Shigong, who had gone out to inspect the city, brought bad news that the Tartars from the direction of Tieling attacked the surrounding towns west of Fushun, causing a large number of refugees to flee. At the same time, Zhang Shi also returned from a tour near Salhu in the east and reported signs of intensive activity in the Tartars.

Chen Ce felt that the situation was serious, and hurriedly asked He Shixian to report the situation to Xiao Ji, the same knowledge of Fushun, hoping that he could inform Yuan Yingtai, the economic strategy of Liaodong, in advance, and at the same time arouse the court's close attention to the battle situation.

Xiao Ji obviously didn't care about this matter, he thought that the Ming army used the field battle to break through Fushun last time, and this time the Ming army had more advantages for the city, and the victory should be nine out of ten. Xiao Ji casually sent an official letter to Liaoyang, asking to speed up Fushun's food and material reserves, and strive to reserve enough supplies before the Tartars attacked the city.

The newly built fortress will be completed in one day, and there is a lot of explosives in stock, the only trouble is that the manufacture of homemade grenades is too slow to meet the large-scale use of the Ming army. When Shen Jia got the news of the Tartars' activities, he sensed the danger behind the incident.

Shen Jia began to reduce the scale of production outside the city as planned, and at the same time transferred some important production capacity to the city.

Shen Jia organized 3,000 young people, issued some cold weapons to a few enthusiastic elements, and after a brief training, called them militia. The vast majority of the militia still use sticks, and they are mainly responsible for maintaining discipline in the city. Shen Jia began to systematically screen and screen the homeless.

Such a large-scale organizational activity made Shen Jia dig people everywhere, looking for those with organizational skills. Like Liu Wencai, Liu Wu and others in the team, they were the first to discover. After that, Shen Jia dug up some small officials from the government and He Shixian's military camp, which made up for the lack of manpower in the organization.

Xiao Ji was very annoyed by Shen Jia's actions of hurting the people, but under the premise that everything was aimed at victory, Xiao Ji could only endure it for the time being.

In order to avoid civil strife among the homeless, Shen Jia planned to forcibly gather the female dependents and children of the homeless people to take care of them alone, while the men were uniformly selected and assigned tasks. When Shen Jia used his power to forcefully implement the policy, the complaints and dissatisfaction in Fushun City finally broke out completely.

Because Shen Jia's reputation is really stinky, as soon as he proposed a separate camp for men and women against the homeless, the city immediately boiled. All kinds of gossip went viral, some people said that the woman who was robbed by the garrison last time was tired of playing, and this time they had to change their taste, and some people said that the garrison was ready to change to a married woman to use, and even said that the garrison could not be without a woman for a day, otherwise he would die of impotence. In the end, the people on the construction site looked at Shen Jia with strange eyes. As for Aunt Cuihua, who is in charge of logistics, she flashed as soon as she entered the house and said a few words, for fear of getting into some scandals.

Shen Jia knew this, the last time it was Xiong Xueru who made a fool of himself, and the apology was only known to a few high-level officials in Fushun, and most people didn't know Shen Jia's innocence. Shen Jia analyzed the various possibilities of the rumors, and he first ruled out Xiao Ji, who was the most suspicious. Xiao Ji, as the Donglin Party, they emphasize "fairness and fairness", and this kind of dirty means will not be openly used indiscriminately among officials, otherwise no one will be clean when they come and go, and they will all become a pile of garbage in the end.

Shen Jia finally fixed his suspicion on the spies in Fushun City, thinking that they were the most suspicious. The purpose of the separate camp management is to control the families of the displaced people during the defensive period, so as to prevent the displaced people from being lured and instigated. At the same time, those who are homeless, unemployed, and unidentified are thoroughly screened out, and on the one hand, they are ordered to leave the city, and those who do not want to leave the city are guarded.

If this policy is implemented, it will destroy the soil for the activities of the Tartar spies, and at the same time, it will be able to organize the idle labor system in the city, which will play an important role in the defense of the city. Obviously, the spies in the city were also keenly aware of this, and they tried to prevent the implementation of this plan.

Soon, Shen Jia called Wei Liangyu and asked him to solve the case as soon as possible and catch the rumor-mongers behind it. Since the last incident, Wei Liangyu has also gained experience in dealing with this kind of incident, and he is the best person to deal with this kind of thing. After receiving the task, Wei Liangyu quickly deployed detectives in the city. At the same time, Shen Jia mobilized a thousand Ming troops to assist in checking suspicious pedestrians on important roads and intersections in the city.

At noon, with the perverse behavior of the "government", the topic of conversation in Fushun City changed, and some people began to criticize the government's actions to disturb the people. This was exactly what Shen Jia expected, and Shen Jia regained his smile and spent the afternoon hiding in the camp to abuse a bunch of recruits.

The basic array has been fully studied, and Shen Jia has added an additional "bomb throwing" exercise today. There was no practice bullet, so Shen Jia had to send someone to bring a basket of small goose warm stones to throw as a "training bomb".

Perhaps throwing the goose warm stone itself has a certain amount of fun, and this afternoon the recruits were very engaged, and some even threw it 35 meters away very accurately. This surprised Shen Jia, and after asking, he learned that they had been herding sheep since they were children, and often threw lumps to drive away the sheep.

Just when Shen Jia asked some people's throwing skills with interest, Qu Xiaojia reported that Fushun Tongzhi Xiao Ji came to visit.

Shen Jia was a little strange, Xiao Ji did not come forward to criticize this time, he had been quietly watching the fire from the other side, and he didn't know what was going on at this time.

Thinking about it, Shen Jia still walked out of the camp quickly to greet him.

"I don't know that the adults have arrived, and I have missed the welcome, please forgive me."

"Shen Shoubei, the main road is full of Fushun battalion soldiers, arbitrarily interrogating and blackmailing passers-by, how long are you going to toss?"

Shen Jia was stunned for a moment, and his heart said that he should have come.

"My lord, I'm also thinking about Fushun's safety and defense, I want to...

"Fart, did you do that? See for yourself, the streets are almost a den of bandits. ”

Shen Jia looked embarrassed, and hurriedly inquired about the reason while confessing.

It turned out that Xiao Ji saw that rumors were rampant in the city today, and no one believed the yamen to refute the rumors several times. In desperation, Xiao Ji thought about going out in civilian clothes to walk around. After leaving the yamen, Xiao Ji and the old servant dressed up as a pair of ordinary people and walked around aimlessly on the street. When he arrived at the bustling section of the city, Xiao Ji saw a team of fierce Ming soldiers intercepting a sedan chair and interrogating them carefully.

It seems that a woman is in the sedan chair, and she has not gotten off the sedan chair. Instead, it was up to the servants who followed to reason with the Ming army. The Ming army who took the lead naturally refused, and had to open the sedan curtain to take a look before he was willing to let go.

Seeing this, Xiao Ji was immediately a little annoyed, so he took the initiative to step forward to reason for the person in the sedan chair. Xiao Ji has been in the military department for several years, and he also has his own set of rhetoric for dealing with soldiers. Not long after, this team of Ming soldiers was embarrassed by Xiao Ji's guns and sticks, and Xiao Ji was happily preparing to end this farce in one go, but unexpectedly, the leader of the Ming army asked Xiao Ji to show his voucher.

Xiao Ji and the old servant went out in plain clothes, so what proof did they have. When Xiao Ji was about to theorize, he was grabbed by the arm by several Ming soldiers and wanted to take him to the barracks for interrogation.

Xiao Ji hurriedly claimed that he was Fushun Tongzhi, but no one in the Ming army believed him. The team leader even laughed and said, "If you are Fushun Tongzhi, then I am the Jade Emperor." ”

Seeing that Xiao Ji was about to be taken away, several officials who were maintaining order at the intersection recognized Xiao Ji, so it was difficult to escape.

After getting out of trouble, Xiao Ji became angry, and after returning to the yamen, he brought his own soldiers and found Shen Jia's training camp.

"Shen Shoubei, you must immediately stop this meaningless investigation, otherwise this official will report today's matter to Lord Yuan of Liaodong Economic Strategy."

Xiao Ji's beard was angry, and some of them actually floated up.

When Shen Jia heard Xiao Ji's threat, he suddenly felt a chill, and said in his heart, You have something new, every time you always scare me with Yuan Yingtai.

Shen Jia said with a smile on his face: "Lord Xiao, today's matter, there are indeed Tartar spies, give me some time, I will return to normal as soon as I catch someone." ”

Xiao Ji was full of disgust at Shen Jia's smile, and he roared and shouted: "No, I have always been lenient to the people and forbidden to disturb the people, you are so behaving, aren't you afraid of the royal law?" ”

Shen Jia still had a smiling face, but he never gave in.

Xiao Ji is a civil official, how could he have been teased like this, and he was furious: "Come on, tie me up and send me to the prefect's prison for detention." ”

Xiao Ji's left and right were like wolves and tigers, and they immediately jumped out and were about to be ordered to tie up Shen Jia.

At this moment, I suddenly heard someone shouting near the camp gate: "Lord Shen, catch it, catch it!" ”

Xiao Ji was a little puzzled, and when he looked back, he saw Shen Jia's bodyguards Wei Liangyu and Gan Liang walking briskly.

Wei Liangyu saw that Lord Tongzhi was also in the camp, and it seemed that Shen Jia had been grabbed by the officials, and the words that came to his mouth sank into his heart again.

"Lord Wei, who did you catch?"

Wei Liangyu couldn't help but feel a little nervous when he saw his acquaintance Xiao Ji asking by name, and stammered: "Subordinate... I caught it. Rumors today. of the people, come ... Report to Lord Shen, subordinate. Just about to ask for an order ... Remove the barricades... and the Ming army of interrogation. ”

Xiao Ji looked at Shen Jia with a puzzled expression, and he suddenly had a new understanding of the smile that Shen Jia had been hanging on his face. Maybe it's all this this kid's calculation.

"What's going on, if you tell me carefully, if you dare to deceive this official, the law of the country will not tolerate it!"

"My lord, I haven't offended anyone in Fushun, who can get along with me? Although I'm not a big garrison, I'm not a person who is casually pinched by the neck, and when I think about it, only a Tartar spy would dare to do this. ”

Xiao Ji listened to Shen Jia's explanation, although he was still a little angry, but his heart slowly calmed down.

Wei Liangyu saw the opportunity and hurriedly interjected: "Yes, Lord Xiao, my subordinates have found out that it was done by a few merchants in the east of the city, and they used to be 'officials and businessmen' in the hands of the Tartars, but after the restoration of Fushun, these people are law-abiding and reasonable, and we have no handle for a while." Unexpectedly, the situation outside the city has been unstable in the past few days, and they actually jumped out again, so we are just like last time, raiding our homes and exiled, I don't know what the two adults are thinking? ”

"No, absolutely not, you Jinyiwei set up a private court and tortured to extract confessions, but the official can't believe it."

Wei Liangyu looked embarrassed, few of these civil officials had a good impression of Jinyiwei.

"Lord Xiao, my subordinates did not torture to extract confessions this time, but there are witnesses and physical evidence found, and I have planned to hand them over to the Tongzhi Yamen, and ask Lord Xiao to decide."

When Xiao Ji heard this, his face completely slowed down. Last time, Yuan Yingtai and the two Qincha deliberately omitted to raid the house, just to sell it to the Fushun garrison a benefit. It's just that I just came, and I didn't see any benefits.

"Okay, this official will believe you once, in order to prevent the prisoner from transferring property, come to the person, send someone to protect the prisoner's mansion, and idle people are not allowed to come and go at will."

When Shen Jia heard the last few words, he knew that this benevolent brother also had an idea.

Shen Jia was about to leave, but suddenly Xiao Ji said again: "Shen Shoubei, how are you sure that you can catch this group of fine workers?" ”

"My lord, the lower officials are also dangerous moves, these meticulous works were exposed too early, it can be seen that they have not been professionally trained, since a little profit can jump out, then use the fierce Ming army to disrupt the normal order in the city, deliberately sell a flaw, I don't believe they will not be moved. Of course, if they have a superior person and are really lurking deeply, then I can't help it. But fortunately, they didn't hold back and jumped out, counting me shit luck. ”

Xiao Ji nodded, and said in his heart that Shen Jia's mind was so thoughtful, he stared at Shen Jia carefully, and then left in a hurry.
