Liuzhou, a town located in the central part of Guangxi Province for the purpose of military control, developed rapidly after entering the Yuan and Ming dynasties, with the migration of foreign populations, the assimilation of local populations, and the development of waterway shipping economy.

(Note: Yesterday, a book friend talked to me about Ma Pingcheng and Liuzhou City on QQ...... This one...... Maping City is actually Liuzhou City, Maping County belongs to Liuzhou Prefecture, but many materials record Maping County, including ancient maps, looking at the ancient map, you can see the existence of Liuzhou Mansion and Liuzhou Wei in the city. One of the reasons why I don't mention Maping City here is that considering the reading habits of readers and the concept of convenient geographical space, if I only mention Maping City, it is estimated that except for a small number of readers and readers who are willing to check Baidu, it is Liuzhou City. ）

Liuzhou City is still developing in the typical U-shaped area of later generations, and its inner city and gradually formed population gathering areas and commercial areas are all in that U-shaped area, but the bottom of the U-shaped is the core inner city, and its political and military key institutions such as guards, mansions, procuratorates, military patrol roads, granaries, barracks, and arsenals are all in the inner city. Some distance to the north outside the inner city is the outer city, where a large number of civilians and surrounding civilian facilities live. Further north, there was a wall that served as the initial military installation, and three towers (similar to city gates) were used for outsiders to enter and exit.

Because Liuzhou City is surrounded by water on three sides, and it is an important military castle in Guangxi, Liuzhou's water defense force is also quite strong. It is not impossible to attack Liuzhou City by water, but it is necessary to be prepared for a large number of casualties and stalemate battles.

In the commercial area formed by the people in the east of the outer city, Deng Shifeng is sitting on the second floor of a teahouse, enjoying the good tea, while looking at everything in this commercial street with curious eyes, although in later generations of film and television dramas can often see the scenes of ancient street scenes and human life, but those are scenes with artistic processing and beautification and restoration, the real ancient city is actually not so colorful, except for a few large families or official eunuchs, the streets are more low wooden houses and gray and black roofsAnd because there are no public drainage facilities, the domestic wastewater and even excrement of every household flow everywhere, maybe you smell the pungent aroma in this door shop, but when you walk to the corner outside, you will smell a foul smell. (Note: The commercial area on the data is several places along the river, such as the inner city and the outer city, so here is a little concentrated)

is a little different from Deng Shifeng, who is a little leisurely and appreciating everything, Luo Dan and Awl opposite him look at the same everything with different expressions, although the two and Deng Shifeng are the same for the first time to come to a big city like Liucheng, for the two who have not even been to the county seat, it is definitely an experience of soil buns entering the city (the last time I went to Liucheng to set fire, I went at night, and I didn't enter the city when I set fire), the awl's reaction was relatively normal, he didn't have much interest in tasting tea, he was eating snacks on the table, While probing his brain around, he looked around at everything on the street, from the vendors to the entertainers, and even the children running and playing on the streets. Luo Dan next to him did not have a sense of novelty in entering the city for the first time, he looked at the few shops on the street with a gloomy face, and his eyes were sharp trying to penetrate the layers of doors and brick walls, and he had a full view of everything in this old Liu trading house.

"Luo Dan, relax, you are so nervous that you can feel your murderous aura from 800 meters away...... What did you say in the training session: 'Surveillance and tailgating should be integrated into the surrounding environment so that people don't notice your presence...... 'What the hell are you trying to suck all the guards in the city......

Deng Shifeng's lesson made the murderous aura in Luo Dan's eyes suddenly converge a lot, but he did not completely get rid of the emotions just now, and the corners of his eyes still glanced at Lao Liu Commercial Bank from time to time. After teaching Luo Dan a lesson, Deng Shifeng put down the teacup in his hand, picked up a long white snack and carefully broke it, the dim sum revealed layers of thin slices at the disconnection, and only then put it in his mouth after smelling its aroma.

The taste of dim sum is delicate and soft but does not stick to the teeth, a fragrant aroma of glutinous rice and sweet sugar is born in the mouth, looking at the remaining half of the dim sum like a cloud can be torn off piece by piece, Deng Shifeng knows that this thing called white cake is the famous snack cloud cake in Liuzhou in later generations. (Note: The main production area of Liuzhou cloud cake is Liucheng County, and the production record time should be a hundred years later in the Qianlong period, borrowed here)

"That's it, Brother Luo, don't take it too seriously, aren't you just watching Liu Fan run away by boat under your nose under the desperate cover of several family members, didn't the teacher already think of the back hand and directly follow us...... We've all come to Liuzhou City, and we're afraid we won't be able to take revenge?! Teacher, can you order another white cake......

Luo Protein, who was poked by the awl, glanced at the awl who only cared about eating snacks, and the day before yesterday, that is, on the afternoon of the first day of the new year, Luo Dan was desperately pursuing Liu Fan and a few guards with a group of people and horses, but he didn't expect that the other party was a small universe eruption or was born with the advantage of escaping, Luo Dan They couldn't catch up with each other all the way, and when they were tired and tired, they finally caught up, and several guards broke out of their loyal small universe, and they were stunned to use their bodies to block the bullets fired at the boat, Although several guards all drifted on the river by themselves, they also successfully sent Liu Fan away from the river fork, even if Luo Dan wanted to continue the pursuit against the order at this moment, there was no such clipper on the river to chase, it can be said that when he saw the other party's fast boat disappear at the end, Luo Dan hated so much that he almost crushed his teeth.

"Eat and eat, you know how to eat, and you don't pay attention to the situation around you, what if someone comes to attack the teacher!!"

I couldn't find any words to fight back, so Luo Dan could only use this to plug the awl's mouth. It's just that the awl full of snacks smiled and didn't speak, pointing to the table behind Deng Shifeng, where the plate and another non-commissioned officer were sitting there dressed as a tea guest, if anyone wanted to sneak attack Deng Shifeng from behind, they had to pass the two of them first. Seeing that he really had nothing to blame, Luo Dan simply turned his head and stopped arguing about anything.

There was a slight stampede sound on the stairs, which alerted several non-commissioned officers, because this sound was very weird, unlike the heavy stampede sound of ordinary people going upstairs, and the footing was very light and even, which greatly reduced the volume generated by the old stairs, if someone crept close to you softly...... What do you want to do?! But in the next moment, the nervousness of several people was swept away, because they saw that the person who came up was none other than the old horse who taught them this kind of experience, and behind him was a yellow palm with a solemn face.

"Brother Deng, just now I was looking for someone to inquire about the news, it is difficult for the people of the Liu family to see now, Liu Mazi entered the inner city early this morning, from the county government to the prefect and several members of the guard, and now he is in the Guangdong Hall; Liu Fan has not shown his head, and he heard from the food delivery person that the door of the Liu family's house was closed this morning, not only did no one come out to do business, but even women, children and children were not given out for holiday recreation...... It seems that this time, Liu Mazi is scared after suffering a big loss, and is looking for rescuers in the inner city......"

As soon as Huang Zhangshi sat down, he was not polite, he directly picked up the undrunk tea bowl and poured the warm tea inside, and crackled and told Deng Shifeng the information he had collected. This morning, when I saw Deng Shifeng, they suddenly appeared at the door of their house under the leadership of Lao Ma, and Huang Zhangshi was startled, but what was even more surprising was still behind, after hearing that the mountain village was attacked by the people sent by Boss Liu, Huang Zhangshi was nervous, but when he heard that the mountain village responded in time, and the personnel and equipment were not damaged, he was relieved, after all, his second son was still in the mountain village. Immediately, he was also a person who had experienced big and small storms and could take charge on his own, and he knew what he was going to do without Deng Shifeng saying anything, and immediately used his connections and connections in Liuzhou City to find out the news......

"Teacher, if we sneak in tonight, the other party has already lost most of the manpower anyway, I'm afraid of a bird! If there is anyone who is not long-sighted, pistols and grenades are waiting for him!! ”

Since Luo Dan followed Deng Shifeng, his accent, intonation and words have changed under the influence of Deng Shifeng, but listening to the meaning of his words, as well as the expression of gritting his teeth to suggest to Deng Shifeng, this look of eagerness to eat his flesh and drink his blood frightened Huang Zhangshi.

"Are you trying to turn Liuzhou City upside down?! The more than 2,000 soldiers in the guard are waste who can only eat dry rice and exhale air from their nostrils......"

Deng Shifeng glanced at Luo Dan and asked Huang Zhangshi after letting him shrink to the side: "Is there any news from the official government?" ”

"Nope." Huang Zhangshi shook his head lightly and denied, thinking that it seemed that such a simple answer missed a lot of information, so he continued:

"Brother Deng wants to inquire about the news of the government, he must be worried that Liu Mazi will buy the government to send troops to recruit and suppress, but Brother Rong will tell you a joke: Qiu Bahao, who led the troops, said that he moved, but the prefect and county order did not allow all the low-level soldiers to move......"

"Those military attachés from thousands of households do not have all kinds of names to make money like civil officials, and they can be moved by just making a little money and giving enough benefits, but there are too many openings on the civilian side, and it is not only easy to offend people if they are not thoughtful up and down, but also easy to be not human inside and out; Liu Mazi does have a bit of face in Liucheng Mansion, if it is changed to Pingyueli, take a little time to make more silver and Xu Yitian, maybe this matter can be said to him, but now ......"

Huang Zhangshi looked left and right and lowered his voice:

"Listening to the news of our East Guangdong Chamber of Commerce, now the prefect is annoyed, and no one is there, and those toasts on the boundary of Liuzhou Mansion are making trouble about the affairs of the liuguan again......"
