After eating, Chen Dao sent Su Hao back to his room to rest first on the grounds that he was tired from the journey. Su Hao knew that the few of them still had something to discuss, and his identity was not enough to intervene, so he retired with interest.

As Su Hao exited the living room, Chen Dao smiled and asked Ye Mengxiong, "Ye Gong, do you think this son is up to the task?" ”

Ye Mengxiong twisted his beard, nodded and said, "This son is quick to think, and he is neither humble nor arrogant. When I first heard about such a heavy responsibility, I didn't have the slightest fear, and I was worried about how to live up to my mission, which is a rare talent. ”

Fu Zhong said with a smile: "Governor Ye has always been strict with people, but he does not hesitate to praise this son. ”

Ye Mengxiong said: "There are talented and learned people, and the old man has seen a lot, but there are few who can enter the eyes of the old man." I have been in the Ming Dynasty for a long time, and young people are mostly obsessed with imperial examination articles, but there is not much sharpness left in my body. This Su Gaizhi, both literary and martial, complements each other, and indeed wins the heart of the old man. ”

Chen Dao said: "Dao came west with Su Hao this time, and he has been observing this person along the road, and I feel that this person has a good character and acts responsibly. As for talent, it is even more different. You may not know it, last year's drought in Jiangxi, this son in Fengcheng County to survey wells, ten **, by the folk known as the earth teacher. Also, I heard that he is also good at prospecting, and helped Jiangxi mine supervisor Li Long find a big gold mine. ”

"Is that so?" Zheng Lian said, "With such a talent, Zheng is also a little interested." It is better to wait for the surveying and mapping to be over, and leave it in my Chongqing Mansion to specialize in well exploration and prospecting, which is also a matter for the benefit of the common people. ”

"That's a pity." Ye Mengxiong waved his hand and said, "How big a world are you in Chongqing Mansion, and a talent like this should still be recommended to the court to do some big things." When this is over, the old man will personally recommend him. ”

"There are not many people in the world who can be recommended by Ye Gong, right? Su Hao has some chances, which is really enviable. Chen Dao said half thanks and half compliments.

Ye Mengxiong made a special trip from Guiyang to Chongqing, firstly to inspect Su Hao, and secondly, to discuss with Zheng Lian and Fu Zhong the countermeasures to prevent the Banzhou Rebellion. Sichuan Governor Li Shangsi suggested that Yang Yinglong adopt a policy of appeasement because Banzhou was still a long way from Chengdu, and even if something happened in Banzhou, the impact on Chengdu would not be great. But Zheng Lian and Fu Zhong are different, the two of them are stationed in Chongqing, only 500 miles away from Banzhou, if Yang Yinglong really launches a rebellion, Chongqing will bear the brunt, so they pay more attention to this matter.

Several people discussed the current situation, determined how to exchange information and other measures, and then left one after another. Chen Dao and Su Hao stayed at the Boryeong Inn, studying the map of Banzhou while waiting for the arrival of the Kanyu camp.

The Kanyu camp walked with the boat, much slower than Chen Dao, Su Hao and others on horseback. Su Hao waited for half a month before the group from the survey camp arrived in Chongqing and stayed in the inn arranged by Chen Dao in advance.

Su Hao now knows that the Boryeong Inn is indeed the secret contact point of the Ministry of War in Chongqing, and it is the place to receive officials of the Ministry of War who travel secretly. Chef Mi is the principal in the inn, and he also has a six-grade hundred-household title, which is the same as Su Hao's. Due to the special nature of the Boryeong Inn, after the arrival of the Kanyu Camp Brigade, Chen Dao did not let them live in the Boryeong Inn, but found them another inn called Chaotian, the origin of its name is probably because the inn is not far from the Chaotian Inn.

Chen Dao asked the locals to go to the Chaotian Inn to pick up the inn and chartered the entire inn for the accommodation of the Kanyu camp. According to the pre-agreed statement, the group of Kanyuying dressed up as merchants, and the embroidery girls dressed up as the businessmen's family members, and they looked a little like each other. The shopkeeper of the inn got a lot of money, and he was instructed not to talk nonsense outside, as for the reason, it was naturally a matter of trade secrets, which is also reasonable.

"You've worked hard all the way." Su Hao followed Chen Dao to the Chaotian Inn and greeted his soldiers.

"In the past, I just heard Mr. say that the difficulty of Shu Road is difficult to go to the blue sky, damn, now Lao Tzu has seen it." Soldier Xiong Minfan said with a big grin. When recruiting soldiers, the survey battalion required all soldiers to be literate and hyphenated, so these people knew some allusions.

"Xiong Lao 2, you know who you are talking to, and you are full of Lao Tzu, whose Lao Tzu do you want to be?" He Bencheng, the little flag officer, reminded Xiong Minfan with a smile.

"Su Baihu forgives my sins, my old bear is used to saying it, but I don't mean to be disrespectful to you." Xiong Minfan realized that he was talking to his boss, and quickly apologized respectfully.

Su Hao patted Xiong Minfan on the shoulder and said, "It's okay, some mantras are normal." Xiong Lao 2, if you are asked to go over the mountains and mountains to do surveys now, will you still be able to walk? ”

Xiong Minfan patted his chest and said: "No problem, raise soldiers for a thousand days, and use soldiers for a while." After eating rice for the past few months, you have to do something, right? However, Su Baihu, aren't we going to Yunnan, it's still thousands of miles away from Yunnan, right? ”

Su Hao said: "It's true that this is not Yunnan, but we may have to stay here for a while to help Chongqing Weitu test the surrounding map, which can be regarded as a test for us by the Ministry of War." ”

"I don't care." Xiong Minfan said, "My old Xiong wants to be a soldier because he has food to eat, as long as he takes care of the food, where is he not a soldier?" ”

Su Hao said: "Hehe, it's good if you can think like this." Let's have a good rest these days, and in a few days we will start working. ”

Su Hao walked through each small flag and blew the wind on everyone, and finally, he pulled Hao Tong and Deng Kui to a room and told them in detail about Yang Yinglong and the secret order of the military department. When Hao Tong and Deng Kui heard this, they looked at each other, and they both felt very surprised.

"The most fearful thing about this kind of counterinsurgency operation is that the terrain is unfamiliar. At that time, Lord Deng quelled Li Daluan's rebellion in Tonggushi, and at first suffered a loss because of the unfamiliar terrain. Later, Lord Deng sent scouts in the name of merchants to blend in with the Tonggu Stone and find out the terrain, which put down the rebellion in one fell swoop. Hao Tong told Su Hao about the old things.

Su Hao said: "What we are going to do now is also such a thing. The Ministry of War hopes that we can find out the terrain in the Banshu area and draw it into a map book so that we can attack it in the future. The time given to us is half a year, and we are going to stay in Chongqing for a while. ”

Deng Kui said: "I don't know if Lord Deng knows about this?" Mr. Tu has been waiting for us to map Yunnan. ”

Su Hao said: "I estimate that the military department will make it clear to Lord Deng that compared with the situation on the border of Yunnan, the situation in Banzhou is more dangerous." ”

Hao Tong frowned and said: "Surveying and mapping maps is the duty of the surveying camp, at best, everyone is just working hard, spend a little more time, and you can always map and map." I'm worried that the local people living in the area will be unfavorable to our survey camp, and besides, I heard that Yang Yinglong and his people are very suspicious, if his whereabouts are detected by our survey camp, he probably won't let it go easily. ”

Su Hao said: "I have thought about this matter these days. On the part of the natives, it is easy to do, let's just say that they are merchants who sell goods, and send more gifts to the toast, presumably they will not be difficult for us. I have already inquired about this matter, and there are often outside merchants in the Banshu area, who are very harsh on the natives, often selling at a high price and buying at a low price. If we can do some good to the natives, they should welcome us. ”

"That's one way to do it." Hao Tong said, "Before we leave, we will buy more goods that the local people like in Chongqing Prefecture, and sell them at the real price when the time comes." ”

"As for Yang Yinglong......" Su Hao continued, "it's quite a big trouble. He has a lot of eyeliner in Banzhou and even in Chongqing, and it is impossible for us not to be discovered by his eyeliner. Now what Mr. Chen and I are thinking about is using the excuse of prospecting, hoping to hide it from them. Prospecting is also to do the survey, the theodolite we use, and the compass used by the Taoist priest is quite similar, and outsiders should not come out of the mystery. ”

Deng Kui said with a smile: "In this way, we should also ask Daoist Chen to tell everyone about the art of surveying public opinion, don't be asked by others when the time comes." ”

"That's a good idea." Su Hao said, "Let's let Chen Guanyu do this." ”

The preparation work is complicated, but fortunately, the survey camp is also a well-trained team, so all the work is done in an orderly manner, which also makes Fu Zhong secretly surprised after passing.

Su Hao found some soldiers from Chongqing Wei who were familiar with the local situation, and introduced the local customs and customs to the soldiers of the Kanyu Battalion. In order to be able to communicate with the locals, they also learned some local dialects by surprise, and basically reached the level of being able to cope with daily communication.

Chen Guanyu's magic stick also came in handy, and Su Hao arranged for him to give a few lessons to the soldiers, taught some basic common sense of the surveyor, and asked everyone to memorize some mantras such as "Yin and Yang are born together" and "Qiankun Translocation". There are many sects of public opinion surveying in this world, and each sect has some of its own doorways, so the soldiers don't have to worry about being recognized as Xibei goods.

Chongqing Wei itself has some maps of the Banzhou area, which are of course very crude, but only marked important roads, passes, county seats, and so on. According to these maps, Su Hao assigned tasks to each small banner of the survey camp, and each small flag had to complete the survey of an area of 2,000 square kilometers, and the workload was still considerable.

Everything was ready to stop, Su Hao ordered, the survey camp was divided into zero, and began to go deep into the various places of the Banzhou Division to carry out surveying and mapping. The soldiers all changed into civilian clothes, carried surveying and mapping instruments and various goods used as cover, and left Chongqing in a low-key manner and advanced south. In each small banner, there are also several local soldiers sent by Chongqing Wei, whose task is to lead the way, liaise, and transmit the results of the surveying and mapping of the camp.

Su Hao and Chen Dao stayed in Chongqing and commanded in the center. The 0 embroiderers brought from Jiangxi also stayed in Chongqing, ready to embroider the information transmitted from the scene into the final map. (To be continued.) Please search for Astronomy, the novel is better and faster!)
