On the west bank of Dongting Lake, Dongshan Xun, here is not only the green camp flood mouth, there are people's posts, but also military shops. All the military and political news that came to Changsha in Yuezhou from the north had to pass through here. Originally just a reed mouth near the lake and on the mountain, it has gathered into a noisy town over the decades.

At the end of the hour, Ma Jinqi, the garrison of Dongshan Xun, yawned and appeared at the military shop at Xunkou. The sky was already bright, and the soldiers of the flood shop greeted each other with a solemn face, and the Lord Shourong was really diligent, and he was guarding the flood mouth for two consecutive days, so that they couldn't be lazy.

It seems to be sleepy-eyed, but Ma Jinqi's gaze at the avenue is extremely clear, according to the time of the post order, that thing was not seen yesterday, how can it be there today, if it is not seen, it will be difficult for the team to cover in the bunk.

Ma Jinqi and his brother Ma Yuqi both participated in the Battle of Shaozhou before, Ma Yuqi was a guerrilla in Huguang Tibiao, and he was just a small Qianzong in Xiangyang Town. The two were captured together under the city of Shaozhou, and the elder brother was seriously wounded. The elder brother was first treated by the "thief army" military doctor, and then he was carefully cared for by the Ying Tzu Yuan, and gradually improved, but he was "escaped".

"When you go back, just climb up desperately, we won't come to you casually, but once we find you, it's a big thing you can't refuse. We will not threaten your brother's life with you, as long as you put back two or three more of your comrades in the camp, you suspicion of being a spy will not be washed away. ”

Ma Jinqi remembered that the young man surnamed Luo, who was full of childishness, but his eyes were like muskets, and he could make a hole in his head at any time, explained himself so casually, and he was both frightened and surprised to kowtow and thank him again and again.

In the battle of Shaozhou, tens of thousands of people were arrested in the Huguang Green Battalion, including countless officials. After that, many people fled back to Huguang one after another, and they did not dare to say that they were arrested, but escaped in the chaos. Huguang had no intention of investigating carefully, and those who fled back continued to serve as soldiers, and officials continued to serve as officials. After Nian Qianyao took over the Hunan Governor, he was a little more vigilant, and he just moved the generals who had fled back from defeat to Xuntang for use, preventing them from being in charge of the army again.

As a result, after Ma Jinqi was reported to the first level, he was sent to the Dongshan Flood Guard.

Originally, he wanted to go with the flow, eat and wait for death, a little Xun Shou, it is estimated that the other party will not take it to heart, but he didn't want to find him three days ago, show the previously agreed code, dig out his cocoon, and boil it.

Ma Jinqi had no courage to refuse, and according to the instructions, he allowed a group of people to enter the shop, and waited for the target to appear.

The ordinary newspapers that could be gathered in one place and sent to the next shop the next day, Ma Jinqi was full of irritability, but he heard the sound of hurried horses' hooves.

"Fly now!"

The front station shop soldier rushed into the shop, took out an official document from his leather bag, and shouted loudly in his mouth, Ma Jinqi's eyes lit up, this is it!

"Get on the horse! What about people!? ”

Ma Jinqi waved his hand and shouted, but no one answered, the shop soldiers who should have been on duty for the delivery had already been replaced by him, so naturally he couldn't find it.

"Wait, give me something, fill out the form first."

He stretched out his hand to pick it up, and the shop soldier was very familiar with Ma Jinqi, and he didn't doubt it, so he handed it down.

"In front of the tent, Garbi, the edict, the general of the command Fu Yuan...... Fly it immediately, and it will arrive within ten days. ”

Looking at the big line in the middle of the cover, Ma Jinqi breathed a sigh of relief, sure enough, it was it. As a general, Yinzhen can use the expedited post of the military shop to exchange letters with his subordinates in other places, which is not only fast, but also confidential. The so-called "immediate delivery" is generally the emperor's court and military emergency report, and the soldiers at each station do not dismount, and hand over directly on the horse.

Judging from the list, in the past month or so, the correspondence between Garbi and Yinzhen has been extremely efficient, and it is a round trip on the eleventh or twelfth day. Ten days ago, Garbi just handed over a letter to the capital, and these two should have Yinzhen's reply from him.

The system stipulates that it must be delivered immediately without delay, but there are always deviations. Ma Jinqi hurriedly rushed into the shop to find someone, and it didn't matter if the shop soldiers stood in front of him, as long as he didn't delay for too long, Ma Jinqi could fill in the list for him, and he would be done.

Ma Jinqi hurriedly entered the bunk room, pushed open a door, and there were three people guarding inside. One person spread the briefcase on the table and covered it with a half-wet towel, while the other lifted a red-hot iron and carefully ironed the seal of the briefcase jacket through the towel.

But in ten or so breaths, the envelope was opened, and the letter inside was taken out, and the other person had prepared pen and ink, and hurriedly followed the letter, and the fly's head was swallowed like a snake, and within twenty or thirty breaths, the content of the letter was transcribed.

Let go of the letter, and then carefully glue the sleeve, Ma Jinqi took the official document, secretly gasped, except for a breath of heat, there is no sign that the sleeve has been exposed, you must know that this kind of immediate delivery of the urgent report, the sleeve can be used with a specially boiled glue, the seal is also very particular, a little movement can see the abnormality, these two people not only did it, but also completed it in this instant, the people in the south, really do everything is jaw-dropping.

"We are all copywriters and clerks, and we are called dismantling in the industry, dismantling letters all day long, and we are experts in private dismantling."

"I've practiced countless times when I came, and there was no problem."

The two who unwrapped the envelope thought that Ma Jinqi was worried, and comforted him, but the latter nodded stunned.

After a delay of about a hundred breaths, Ma Jinqi rushed to the temporary capture of the shopkeepers, Pegasus handed away the letter, and the front station shopkeepers let out a long sigh, fortunately, this delay is still within the normal range.

"Ma Shoubei, don't worry, I won't bother you anymore for the time being."

Ma Jinqi's paving soldiers had just set off, and the other person was also in a hurry on the road, looking at the smoke and dust on the road, the connector said, while handing over a silver ticket for Hunan Xiangping, looking at the number of "three hundred taels", Ma Jinqi's eyes almost popped out, he just thought that he was forced to respond, but he didn't expect that there was such a rich amount of silver to take.

"For the king of heaven, where is there so much fear? Big Brother of the Nine Towers...... What if I could get more news? ”

Ma Jinqi suppressed the urge to swallow saliva and asked expectantly.

"As long as you can ensure safety, you can try the newspapers of the Ministry of War, the Governor of Huguang, the Governor of Hunan, and the Tang newspapers of various towns in Hunan, and I will send another team to do it. But it's still too dangerous to dismantle the court and send this kind of flying, I have to speak out, the price is ......"

The man called the "Nine Towers" squinted at Majinqi.

"I'll give you a list of openings, and important information and a bonus."

Ma Jinqi had a bright smile on his face, bonus, that's right, this is the bonus he used his net worth to invest in Yinghua.

Time passed, and soon it was May, in Changsha City, Hunan, in the side hall of Li Wei's mansion, two elite middle-aged men were bowing to Li Wei.

"I, Li Wei, have always respected heroes, and Zhou Yingying doesn't need to be polite. Fished you out of the prison of the Ministry of Punishment, and I didn't think about thorn on you. ”

Li Wei said politely and personally helped the two of them.

"It's just that Li Wei and I are on an errand, which is related to the people of the world, and I have short hands and weak legs, so I can't do it myself, so I can only trouble the two of you. The two of them did what they said, traveled thousands of miles, and stopped at the call, they were really believers, and they were really heroes in Jiangnan! ”

He said lively, but the two of them looked faint, obviously not moved by his false words, but the two were not forced to speak one after another.

"The two of us have sworn a long time ago to accept Lord Li's rescue feelings, as long as they do not violate their conscience, they will let Lord Li send them."

"I heard that the Cantonese bandit Li Shi is the king of the king, poisoning Guangdong, corrupting Gangchang, although we don't want to be the eagle dog of the court, but we can't let this thief wreak havoc, this matter is on the conscience, we are also willing to do it!"

Li Wei nodded again and again: "Okay!" Good! With such thoughts, even if I don't have the same heart as the imperial court, I, Li Wei, can understand! This time, I have to borrow two of them and sneak into Guangdong to find out the truth of Li Xian, if it is convenient......"

His eyes flashed, and he stretched out his hand to make a downward cutting posture: "It's the best to get that Li Shi's head!" ”

Without waiting for the two to react, Li Wei added: "But that Li Shi, there is a large group of guards around him, and he is also living in a simple place, so I am afraid that this matter is hopeless." Li Wei still thinks that the two heroes can retreat with their whole body, so ...... The two of them are still trying to spy on the military. ”

The two of them clasped their fists, and said with three points of unwillingness in their words: "If it is convenient, I will definitely take the head of Li Shi!" ”

After the two left, the two walked out from behind the screen in the side hall, it was Garbi and Hu Qiheng.

Hu Qiheng frowned and said: "Is such a character in the rivers and lakes reliable?" ”

Li Wei said with a smile: "Even if it can't be done, it will scare that Li Shi all over his body of and urine." Zhang Boxing harshly governed the south of the Yangtze River and provoked a large number of people in the rivers and lakes to make trouble, these two people were Chu Qiao among them, not to lure their accomplices to turn against the water, and the government couldn't hold them at all. I had already been released to the prison of the Criminal Department, and I thought that the affairs of the south would require all kinds of people, so I tried to protect them. ”

Garbi shook his head: "It does sound like a good character, but there are only two of them, I'm afraid it's not very useful." ”

Li Wei shook his head: "It's not just the two of them, I recruited this kind of wanderer from Jiangnan, at least hundreds, and took various ways to enter Guangdong ......"

His eyes flashed with essence, and his tone was extremely confident: "In less than half a month, the land of Guangdong, the military intelligence and personnel, are meticulous!" ”

Garbi and Hu Qiheng were stunned, hundreds of rivers and lakes were meticulously made, what a big stroke! The meticulous work is not comparable to the sentry, there is no lure of lucrative profits, it is difficult to go deep into the enemy's territory, and risk his life to spy on the enemy. This Li Wei's actions are really extraordinary, no, it should be the fourth elder brother Yinzhen behind him, who has made great determination in the matter of Guangdong.

"The enemy is in the light, I am in the dark, so Li Xi should be difficult to turn around."

Hu Qiheng shook his head, he only felt that this arrangement, with a knife on three sides, it was extremely difficult for Guangdong Li Shi to resist.

"In a few days, the matter of the people's courage will be settled, and the general will go to Xi'an to say, it will be the time when the Guangdong bandits will be destroyed!"

Garbi clapped his fist and said.

"I reviewed, it was my fault, I expected the situation wrong."

In the Tianwang Mansion in Guangzhou, Li Shi held an emergency meeting, at which he said with a heavy face.

"I shouldn't have set the national policy with the heart of a gambler, this time I gambled with Kangxi Lao'er again, unfortunately, this time I lost half a move to him."

Li Xi looked around at everyone, Fan Jin, Yu Hanyi, Luo Tangyuan, Shang Jun, Liu Xingchun, Peng Xianzhong and other military and political dignitaries of the Tianwang Mansion were all there.

"How can the king of heaven say that, my Yinghua background is shallow, and every time I move, I have to give up my roots and gamble, how can I sit back and wait to watch the situation!?"

Fan Jin has been a little depressed recently, so he has been focusing on the supervision of the Huangpu Martial Arts School and the new barracks, but when he heard Li Xian's heavy self-blame, he was the first to get excited. Listening to Li Shi's words, it seems that there is another crisis, but since Li Shi decided to rebel, how can he have a leisurely time? That's no danger, no danger. Doing nothing, that's also gambling.

Everyone nodded one after another, feeling that Li Shi was a little alarmist.

"Within a month, when 350,000 Hunan people armed with flintlock muskets attacked Shaozhou to the north of us. And within two months, at least 100,000 elite soldiers, led by General Fuyuan and the fourteenth prince Yinzhen, pressed down on me Yinghua in front of me......"

Li Xi spoke, except for the three intelligence leaders, everyone else gasped.

"And my Anglo-Chinese army and navy are scattered on the east and west, and they are still being dragged by their respective Qing soldiers in person, and there is no way to use the main force to help."

Li Xian said this in a deep voice, and at the same time thought in his heart, was it really his own wrong decision-making that caused Yinghua to be in such a dangerous situation?

"With the king of heaven, no matter how big the danger is, no matter how many soldiers, we are not afraid!"

Fan Jin raised his tone, and the aura that was falling into stagnation in the hall suddenly loosened, and in the face of everyone's eager eyes, Li Yan sighed, no, the more times like this, the more you can't doubt yourself. It was true that he had misjudged before, but ...... "We are invincible!" ”

Li Shi slammed his fist on the table, strength is better than all intrigues, and strength is more than just guns.
