After the more than ten members of the special service team settled down, Lao Pao sat in a separate room on the lower floor of the Fu boat, and there was a document signed by Yang Bo on the table, which reads - (Rescue Yu Xuezhong Plan), the order is very simple, that is, to instruct the Foreign Intelligence Department to find Yu Xuezhong, and bring Yu Xuezhong back to Lushun to settle down.

The reason why Yang Bo issued this order is to start from the old artillery after returning to Lushun, the old artillery first reported the actions of the special service team in Xiuyan, although the task was completed, but the head did not bring back, the old artillery thought that it was not worth leaving Zhuang Shidi for the head of the Ullindai They took the risk, and took the initiative to take responsibility, the old cannon thought that he knew Yang Bo, he thought that Yang Bo would think like this, in fact, as he expected, Yang Bo didn't care at all whether the head of the Ullindai could bring it back, and comforted him: "Killing the Ulindai is to avenge Wang Xiaoliu, If you put your subordinates at unnecessary risk for the sake of a leader, I'm going to be disappointed. ”

Next, Lao Cannon sued Tang Baocheng of the Foreign Intelligence Department fiercely, accusing Tang Baocheng of sending Yu Xueyong's family of three to a dead end, of course Lao Cannon couldn't say premeditated murder This kind of words are beyond the times, but he feels that the Foreign Intelligence Department's approach is too cold-blooded, which is inconsistent with his simple morality, what he didn't expect is that the adults actually expressed their understanding of the Foreign Intelligence Department's approach, Yang Bo thought about it and said: "The first thing we need to understand is whether the choice of the Foreign Intelligence Department is the right choice and whether it is a moral choice, the so-called right choice, It depends on the consequences of the actions taken by the Foreign Intelligence Department, yes, Yu Xueyong's family of three died, but my answer is that the choice of the Foreign Intelligence Department is from the point of view of purpose. is the right choice, so what is the result? Effectively hit the luck of those snakes and rats at both ends, from this point of view. The death of Yu Xueyong's family can awaken more people, which is correct, but not moral, so, what is the difference between you and the Department of Foreign Affairs? It is a moral understanding, Tang Baocheng, the head of the Foreign Intelligence Department, is a utilitarian, when he thinks that the benefits obtained from taking action are more cost-effective than the death of Yu Xueyong's family of three. That he did not hesitate to choose to do it, but you are different, and you judge the consequences of this matter at the same time. You are still judging the motives of Tang Baocheng's actions themselves, so you feel that he has crossed the line, and you think that no matter what noble reasons are used, you cannot kill innocent people. In particular, women and children were among those killed. Do you think I'm right? ”

Lao Pao nodded convincingly, and Yang Bo said: "You may be disappointed, why do I acquiesce in the methods adopted by the Foreign Intelligence Department, unfortunately, I am actually also a supporter of utilitarianism, the Foreign Intelligence Department asked for too Xueyong's opinion, hoping that he would break away from the rule of the Tartars, but unfortunately they refused." That's why I don't blame Tang Baocheng. ”

Lao Pao said a little unwillingly: "If Tang Baocheng really wants to save Yu Xueyong's family, he won't be so vague."

Yang Bo shook his head and said, "You still don't understand." According to your report, Yu Xueyong is not as innocent as you say, he is a Zhenglan Banner Banner who is preparing to participate in the southern raid, and when he rejected the suggestion of the Foreign Intelligence Department, he has already given up the rescue list that the Foreign Intelligence Department put him in? When you criticize the actions of the Foreign Intelligence Division, why don't you think about whether letting too much Xueyong go will be unfair to other innocent people in my Ming Dynasty? ”

Lao Pao was silent, he wanted to say, even if Yu Xueyong died innocently, what was wrong with his mother-in-law and children? Although the Department of Foreign Affairs is not targeting his mother-in-law and children, it is still involved in them, right?

Yang Bo thought about it with his hands behind his back, picked up a charcoal pen and wrote a few words on a piece of paper, handed it to Lao Pao and said, "You give this order to Tang Baocheng by the way, this is the latest task of the Foreign Intelligence Department." ”

The old cannon took it, and what was written on it was the plan to rescue Yu Xuezhong......

Lao Cannon plucked up the courage and asked, "Is this considered compensation for Xueyong's family?" ”

Yang Bo shook his head very seriously and said: "No, this is just a promise reached between the Foreign Intelligence Department and Yu Xueyong, I think the Foreign Intelligence Department should not break its promise, especially to the dead." ”

Lao Pao sat in the small room, looking at this order and fell into deep thought, he vaguely felt a little ridiculous, the adult once said that the benefits obtained by the Foreign Intelligence Department taking action are more cost-effective than the death of Yu Xueyong's family of three, then the Foreign Intelligence Department will choose to do it without hesitation, and the adult also agrees with this, but what is the reason for this order? The Foreign Intelligence Division's action team risked their lives to go behind enemy lines to rescue a Yu Xuezhong, why did the adults never mention the issue of interests this time?

Lao Cannon thought about it for a long time, but in the end he didn't figure it out......

In the past few days, the youth model battalion and the second battalion have all been transferred back to Lushun, and the true colors of this month's salary have been distributed in advance, and then the holiday begins, the soldiers of these two battalions are cheering to get rid of the daily hellish training when they receive an order, everyone is not allowed to go out of the city, and suddenly the gossip in the barracks is full of news, everyone has heard some rumors, they are afraid that they are going to fight Jiannu, some people say that it may be that adults are preparing to attack Fuzhou occupied by Tatars, this rumor was immediately refuted by others, there are elites of the Iron Fist Brigade in southern Liaoning in Jinzhou, When do you need the Rock Brigade to go, but when someone said that they might join the Beijing Division, these people stopped talking, these days Denglai Supervisor Zong Yuanfang smiled and took a few little eunuchs around the camp all day long, obviously it will not be without reason, many married people immediately went to the headquarters of Lushun Huitong Bank to deposit the silver, and there are also many bachelors who chose to spend time drinking and enjoying the silver as soon as possible, Huang Jiucheng, the military police department, took many gendarmes to the streets every day, and arrested a lot of soldiers who borrowed wine to fight and make trouble.

Two days later, Yang Wenyue accompanied by Zong Yuanfang and Master Daotao of Denglai Haiphong came to Lushun to inspect the drills of the Youth Model Battalion and the Second Battalion.

The second battalion and the model battalion in the school field were lined up on the left and right, and the 2,500 soldiers were clearly armored and neatly lined up, and there was immediately a solemn and murderous atmosphere, which made Yang Wenyue, who had led the soldiers, happy.

Zong Yuanfang stood beside Yang Wenyue, and said proudly with a sharp voice: "Lord Yang, the guerrilla battalion was ambushed in Jinzhou, and the losses were quite heavy, because it also had to garrison Tunbao in Jinzhou and Nanguan, so the more than 2,500 men and horses of the regimental training battalion who came to the aid of Jinggi this time, Lord Yang looked at this regimental training man, can it be considered majestic?" ”

Yang Wenyue stroked his beard with a smile. nodded and said: "Just looking at this posture, you can see that although it is a regimental training battalion, the military appearance is neat." The formation is tight, but the official wants to congratulate Master Zong, this time Lord Zong led troops to aid Gyeonggi, which will definitely be able to deter Jiannu and make a name for himself in the first battle."

Several people around him laughed, Yang Bo also smiled slightly, and Zong Yuanfang was rarely humble once. After everyone sat down, they watched the formation drill of the regimental training camp. The two battalions divided into two teams and set up an offensive and defensive posture, and smoke and dust suddenly billowed on the field. The sound of killing shook the sky.

Yang Wenyue squinted, a little shocked in his heart, originally he thought that the regimental training camp was just a show, and the good military posture was just used to bluff people. I didn't expect the drill to start. He immediately saw the doorway, the two battalions were transformed into attack and defense quickly, but the queue was meticulous, outflanking, defense and other drills were meticulous, Yang Wenyue also noticed that the left battalion of the regimental training battalion was all chain mail, and the weapons in his hands were mostly spears. The right battalion was all leather armor, armed with swords and shields. There were even a few strange small cannons and other firearms in the ranks, and it was clear that the equipment of this regiment had surpassed that of ordinary regular troops.

Yang Wenyue asked seemingly unintentionally: "Zhixian, who is leading this regiment training camp?" ”

Yang Bo was stunned for a moment, and said: "It is the Jinzhou guerrilla Li Zhizhan, the guerrilla battalion is not enough to fight against Jiannu alone, it is because after Yan Junmen played the imperial court, he authorized the Jinzhou guerrillas to recruit other military households to set up a regimental battalion, as a supplement to the guerrilla battalion." ”

Yang Wenyue nodded, and secretly wrote down Li Zhizhan's name in his heart, Yang Wenyue didn't know the relationship between Tie Niu and Yang Bo, and he was also ready to have the opportunity to talk to this Golden State guerrilla in person, to see if it was possible to win over a few henchmen for his own use.

At this moment, one of Yang Wenyue's entourage ran over in a panic and handed Yang Wenyue something, Yang Wenyue glanced at it a few times, his face changed, and the people around him soon found out that something was wrong, Yang Wenyue handed the Tang newspaper to Zong Yuanfang, the latter also had an ugly face, Yang Bo soon saw this Tang newspaper, the Jiannu Han Army Banner and other departments had approached the Great Wall one after another, and Huang Taiji led the Baylor to set off for a few days, the Han Army Banner was divided into four roads, approaching Xuanda's dining room, Longmen, and Dushi area, The right side led by Shi Yanzhu was approaching the Datong area, and the battle was about to break out.

Yang Wenyue said: "Everyone, the Jiannu Department has approached the area of Xuanda, and the people from all walks of life in Xuanda are panicked, and they can't shrink out, and the military department strictly orders that the guerrilla battalions will arrive in Tongzhou in mid-July, and the deadline will come."

Yang Bo and the generals and others around him all bowed down and said, "Yes......"

On June 28, the Dengzhou Naval Division arrived in Tianjin, dozens of troop transports put the two battalions of soldiers on the dock in a steady stream, Zong Yuanfang's luxury ship docked at the dock, Zong Yuanfang, who was dressed in military uniform, walked down the deck majestically under the support of several eunuchs, Tianjin Governor Feng Yuanbiao and Zhou Wenyu, the deputy general of the Naval Division, waited at the dock to greet them, the Tianjin Naval Division was in a slump since it was taken to Dengzhou by the deputy general Sun Yinglong to send Kong Youde, only dozens of broken wooden boats remained, and they had not seen such a majestic sailor docked at the dock for a long time.

"Lord Zong has been bumpy and hard all the way, and the lower officials have prepared a little wine and food, and washed the dust and picked up the wind for the adults" Governor Feng Yuanbiao had the heart to tie up this eunuch who was very strong, and he was secretly frightened when he saw the soldiers lining up on the ship, and he also had a standard battalion under him, and when he compared the two sides, or a rough comparison in terms of mental outlook, he knew that this prison army had won many battles and was really not boasting.

Zong Yuanfang shook his head and said: "Thank you Lord Feng for your kindness, our family is coming to the aid of Tongzhou, and we have been floating on the sea for a few days with two thousand erlangs, and we are sleepy and tired, so we have to ask Lord Feng to help settle down properly, if these soldiers lack food and clothing, and are sluggish and delay the date of reinforcement, the court will blame it, and our family can't afford it." ”

Feng Yuanbiao saw that Zong Yuanfang was taking advantage of the situation to oppress people, and he didn't like it in his heart, and Zhou Wenyu beside him hurriedly said: "Don't worry, Lord Zong, the last general has been arranged, and the soldiers are also invited to settle in the Biaofu camp, the place is smaller, but it can barely live, as for other things, the last general also has arrangements." ”

Zong Yuanfang nodded with satisfaction, and took Zheng Sanxing, Liu Chuanfang, Wu Zhongcun, Bai Siwen and other battalion commanders to follow Zhou Wenyu to check the camp.

Along the way, Zhou Zhou Wen Yu gushed endlessly, the Tatar slaves approached the Xuanda area, Tianjin also had many rumors, all kinds of news flew all over the sky, some said that the Tatar slave striker had broken through the defense of Xuanfu, and some said that the slave chieftain led the elite to the west of the Jixi area to break through the pass, looking at the situation of the Tatar slaves this time I am afraid that it is a repeat of their own changes, which makes people panic in Tianjin, many people began to run towards Shandong, and even the soldiers of the Tianjin Navy Division have run more than half......

Zong Yuanfang couldn't help laughing when he heard Zhou Wenyu's complaint. Comforting Feng Yuanbiao, Zhou Wenyu and the others said: "Adults don't need to panic, Tatar slaves like to spread false rumors the most. Shake the heart of our army, with our family, we will be able to keep Gyeonggi as stable as a rock. ”

Zheng Sanxing and the others behind him were all smiling secretly, although Zhou Wenyu was disdainful in his heart, his face was convinced.

When he arrived at the camp, Zong Yuanfang ran before and after commanding everyone to settle down, and the barracks were not enough. Zong Yuanfang grabbed Zhou Wenyu and scolded him, and ordered him to quickly find someone to temporarily set up many tents, and toss and turn for a long time. was finally reluctantly settled, Zong Yuanfang declined the banquet of the Tianjin officials, and convened the two battalion chiefs to discuss the matter of King Qin......

Wang Qiaoyun, the proprietress of Lushun Longmen Inn, was rubbing a rag on the greasy tabletop indiscriminately, but her ears were vigilantly erected. Listen carefully to the conversation between two scholars dressed as scholars at the table by the window.

Wang Qiaoyun and her husband are from Dengzhou. Husband Xie Mugen in the fire of the gun team work, can get a salary of five taels of silver per month, because of the late refuge, did not get the salt pond and land, recently Lushun Commercial Division introduced a small loan support plan, the interest is so low that it can almost be counted, Xie Mugen came back to discuss with the Hun family as soon as possible, ready to open a wine shop. The kind of takeaway inn that can be used for people to stay, Wang Qiaoyun's skills in rectifying wine and food are not bad. It's just that they are struggling with the capital, and now they hear the news, the two of them are a little panicked, they are not worried that the Department of Commerce and Trade will go back on their word, and the interest set will become a donkey rolling, but they are worried that the business is not good, and they can't change the loan, but they didn't expect that after hearing about it, a director surnamed Xu of Huitong Bank came to the door with a large group of people, and discussed it with the two of them several times, this Director Xu spoke very carefully, so big that there were many suggestions from the planning of the inn, to the taste of the wine and food, and sometimes Wang Qiaoyun secretly sighed, if this Director Xu opened a wine shop by himself, I'm afraid that I don't have anything to do with myself.

Of course, Wang Qiaoyun and his wife did not know, their project was reported as a model of support, Yang Bo immediately said that he would support with practical actions after hearing it, a few days ago he took Mr. Li, Mr. He, Mr. Han and a group of senior officials of Lushun to Wang Qiaoyun's Longmen Inn to cheer up, this time the whole Lushun was a sensation, with the publicity of adults, Wang Qiaoyun's Longmen Inn business is becoming more and more popular, every day to the hotel hall is full of people, but these days have taken away two battalions, There are many fewer bachelors who like to come here on weekdays to take care of business, and business has cooled down a bit......

This is not the reason for Wang Qiaoyun's troubles, but the behavior of these two scholars is a little suspicious, these two people don't seem to have anything to do, they order wine and food every day and sit at the door to observe the crowd on the street, as well as the Lushun General's Mansion not far away!

"These two thieves can't be Tartars, right? Fortunately, it hit the old lady's hands, if you take some handles, you can't deny it! Wang Qiaoyun secretly planned in her heart, and walked over, pretending to be fiddling with dishes and chopsticks on the isolated table.

"Longmen Flying General, Hu Ma Budu, Brother Ji, today for the name of this wine shop is in line with the poem, you and I also want to have a drink," said a man in his forties

The person who was called the brother of the set silently recited a sentence, looked up and smiled: "My brother traveled all the way, and after entering the Shandong territory, it was an eye-opener, this Anton Wei's prosperity is not lost to the south of the Yangtze River, this is a strange also, although Lushun faces the Tartar slaves, but the prosperity is abnormal, the streets are clean, the people's faces are calm, there is no half of worry, this is two strange also, there are many sergeants in Lushun City, there are many tigers and wolves on the face, the strange thing is that the sergeants do not disturb the people, there is no forced buying and selling, that is, the Yuejia army was only afraid of that, right?" This is three odds, four wonders, that is, Lushun up to the rich officials, down to the ordinary people, everyone is smiling, calm and stable, these four strange make the brother puzzled......"

The previous person nodded and said: "Yes, along the way, but the name of the general of Zhenguo, everyone is happy, everyone praises that the general of Zhenguo is in southern Liaoning, the Tatar slaves dare not offend, everyone lives and works in peace and contentment, Nanjing and Anton Wei, but a hundred miles apart, why is this Yang Bo's reputation different?" ”

The man named Jizhi smiled slightly and said, "Yaocao, have you forgotten that Yang Bo once bullied the monarch and said something about killing the three hundred rich families in Suzhou?" ”

The two were silent for a while, and the scholar with a bold face said in a low voice: "Seeing is believing, my brother is not in Lushun today, how do you know that the general of Zhenguo, who is known as the mad tree, has another splendid belly, not only to govern Lushun in an orderly manner, the people are rich, and live and work in peace and contentment, so that the Tatar slaves dare not look south with the town of Lushun, and my brother must see with his own eyes no matter what, whether this Yang Bo is three-headed and six-armed, or blue-faced fangs." ”

The one named Jizhi also nodded and sighed: "Yes, it is terrible to say that people's words are terrible, and the three of them become tigers, if you don't take this trip, shouldn't my brothers regret it for life?" ”

The other person hesitated a little and said: "Brother Ji, that Yang Bo has the support of the elder of the pavilion, and he has a lot of hatred for Donglin, but Brother Ji has a very close past with Nan Zhang Fuzi, and wants to defect to General Zhenguo, but I am afraid that others may not be willing to ask for it?" ”

The brother of the set smiled proudly and said: "The general of Zhenguo is not small, but to help the troubled times, he will eventually need the help of literati, you and I brothers are also famous, if the general accepts, I will definitely be able to show what I have learned in my chest, so why bother to be self-indulgent?" ”

The man with a heroic face shook his head and said: "It's useless to say more, my brother still has to test and test first, and see how the general of Zhenguo is open-minded, although I, Ma Shiying, am depressed today, but I will not be hungry to the point of not choosing food......"

While the two were discussing, the door of General Lushun's Mansion suddenly opened, and a group of generals with extraordinary identities walked out chatting and laughing, followed by a few guards in bright armor.

The two stopped talking, but stared intently at these henchmen who were regarded as the right and left hands by General Zhenguo, but what they didn't know was that at the table next door, the vigilant eyes of Wang Qiaoyun, the proprietress of the wine shop, had also been staring at them......
